Support key in signage unveiling Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Support and encouragement were abundant between golfing sensations Brittany and Brooke Henderson and their hometown, at the unveiling of entrance signs heralding the girls mark on the community. The formal presentation took place Sept. 22 at the corner of William and Cornelia streets where the Henderson sisters jointly removed the cover to reveal a permanent sign in green and gold that reads: “Hometown of Brittany & Brooke Henderson”. Signs of this type are now in place at each of the town’s entrances and serve as a constant reminder of the town’s pride for the Henderson daughters. “They do a great service to the Town

of Smiths Falls in terms of putting us on the map,” said Mayor Dennis Staples. “I couldn’t think of two greater ambassadors for this town.” A large crowd came out this week to honour the girls and celebrate this unique show of support. In introducing the new sign itself, the mayor noted the message behind the term ‘sensational Smiths Falls’, which is to acknowledge its sensational people like the Henderson girls. “This is our small way of saying thank you,” the mayor said. Both girls lit up when they first took in their names above the Sensational Smiths Falls sign. “It’s pretty cool,” remarked Brooke. Both girls thanked the crowd who gathered to mark this special day, as

well as everyone who expresses support throughout the golfing season. Brittany Henderson thanked the crowd, adding there is something special about being from the small town of Smiths Falls. “Where ever we play we’re always proud to be from Smiths Falls,” Brittany said. This weekend Brittany will be taking her pro golfing career to Venice, Florida where she will be competing in stage two for a spot on the LPGA tour. At the same time her younger sister, Brooke will be traveling to Toronto as a member of Team Canada in the World Junior Girls Golf Championship. In January 2015 Brooke will be graduating from SFDCI and moving to Florida to fulfill See HENDERSON page SF2

Community - Mayor Dennis Staples accepted a signed hat from Brooke (centre) and Brittany Henderson Sept. 22 following the unveiling of the recognition sign atop the entrance signs leading into the community. The hat reads: “All the best Mayor Staples”.

News - A concern for the safety of students has brought a recommendation to restrict parking on Catherine Street in front of St. James the Greater School to councillors’ attention. A motion will be coming to a future council session regarding a request from the school to restrict parking from 8 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 4 p.m. September to June. The restriction would apply to Catherine

Street from Oak Street to 19 Catherine St. Susan Forbes, principal at St. James the Greater said the concern is when parents and students walk between the buses and park near corners making it hard for buses to navigate the bus loading zone in front of the school. “I get it, I’m a parent,” Forbes said. “It just turned into more of a safety hazard than not.” The real problem began last year when the buses between Chimo, St. Francis and St. James became shared.

This doubled the number of buses arriving at St. James daily from five to 10. Bill Dales, route planner for Healey’s Transportation (bus company) said it would be ideal if the restricted area was extended a little further to the corner of Davidson Street as this turn from Davidson to Catherine is very difficult for bus drivers, especially when cars are parked too close to the intersection on See PARKING page SF2

Lanark County hosts annual Truck Roadeo in Carleton Place

W S NO EN AY OPURD T

Enjoy the Ride. Tiffany Lepack/METROLAND

Lanark County Public Works hosted the 21st annual Association of Ontario Road Supervisors Provincial Safety Truck Roadeo at the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place Sept. 9. The event saw 28 competitors from across the province drive snowplows through an obstacle course in the parking lot. Above, Mississippi Mills driver John Gleeson won first place in the event with a score of 448/474. He went on to represent Lanark County in the provincial event the next day. Gleeson has competed at the provincial level eight times, finishing in the top three each time and winning once. Here, he stands beside a truck from Mississippi Mills that was used by drivers to do a circle check on before they went on to drive the snowplows. Above right, Brian Slattery from Haldimand Norfolk Public Works was the first driver on the course. Here, he works his trucks through a diminishing obstacle and it started with a clearance of eight inches on each side, finishing with only two inches. improve government efficiencies, two county council meetings will be held each month, immediately preceding the two committee of the whole evenings. A new meeting schedule was implemented in January in an effort to increase efficiency and effectiveness of staff and council’s time by reducing the number of meeting nights from three to two per month. On the second Wednesday of each month there is a county council meeting at 5 p.m., followed by community services and corporate services. On the fourth Wednesday, a council meeting will now precede economic development and public works, which is expected to further improve governance efficiency and provide a faster turn-around time for recommendations from committees. Having two council meetings may also reduce the need for special council meetings being called as frequently. The amended schedule has already cut staff overtime hours in half from January to July.

News – The following are the highlights from the special Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Sept. 17 at the county administration building in Perth. Lanark County Public Works hosted the annual Truck Roadeo at the Carleton Place Arena on Sept. 9, followed by the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors Provincial Safety Truck Roadeo at the same location the next day. The events give public works staff (DZ-qualified equipment operators) and opportunity to demonstrate their prowess in three scored elements: a written test, an operator’s pre-test (circle check) and a practical tandem truck driving course. Officials included Lanark County Public Works staff, local municipal staff, suppliers and other members of the Lanark County Road Supervisors Association. First place in the county event went to John Gleeson, Town of Mississippi Mills, who qualified for the provincial Truck Roadeo. Second place went to Brian Richmond, Township of Drummond/North Elmsley, who also qualified. Third place went to Steve Herns, Lanark County. The provincial roadeo began in 1994 and each year the top three drivers are awarded trophies, plaques and cash prizes and the Minister of Transportation presents the winner with the roadeo trophy at the Ontario Good Roads Association/Rural Ontario Municipalities Association Convention in Toronto. Congratulations to all participants over the two days.

Upper Rideau Legion branch learns about veterans programs

News – For the past seven years, Carleton Place has been host to one of the most well-attended rural Take Back the Night Marches in Canada. Even on the soggiest of nights, local residents turn out with their banners and noise-makers in record numbers – all to demand the right to walk our streets safely be upheld. This year’s event will be held tonight (Thursday, Sept. 25). The gathering begins at 6:30 p.m. in the park behind Carleton Place Town Hall, with the rally and march set to begin at 7 p.m. The march will follow the traditional route through town on Bridge Street and over to Reads Book Shop’s new location where there will be refreshments and celebration. Everyone is invited and it is a very family oriented affair so bring the kids.

Community – Legion Branch Upper Rideau #542 recently hosted Lesley Lehman, partnership development coordinator – Canadian Forces (CF) Appreciation Program, under the arm of the Canadian Forces Morale & Welfare Service (CFMWS). She brought with her a wealth of information concerning services available to veterans and their families as well as military currently serving in the armed forces. The program she talked about was the CF Appreciation Program which was launched to offer a variety of discounted services to the military community in recognition of their sacriﬁce and dedication. This program began in 2005 as the ofﬁcial military discount program endorsed by the Canadian Armed Forces community it represents. No public dollars are used to manage the program. It offers discounts within the following categories: Accommodations, attractions, entertainment, dining, recreation, shops, services, travel and transportation. The Bank of Montreal offers special discounted services. Recent corporations to come on board offering discounts were Petro-Canada, Sobeys and new business are coming on board monthly. There is assistance available for family members with special needs. She said the military community is one million strong. Last year, the CFOne card was introduced and it has been used as the card to access programs and services delivered by CFMWS. Lehman went on to point out that there were already 100,000 members on board. This card is used to give members access to all discounts in this program. G2 Zone Commander Ray Gilroy

Celebrating those who give time to volunteer income tax program Community – A celebration dinner was held at Lanark Community Programs at the end of August to honour the 2014 income tax volunteers. In appreciation for their

diligent work, the sponsoring agency, Lanark Community Programs, provided a delicious meal, certificates of appreciation, and numerous wonderful gifts to the 11 volunteers. This

festive occasion was completed with a meaningful and sincere thank you from Donna Davidson, agency director for Lanark Community Programs. The volunteers completed

more than1000 tax returns at no charge to the taxpayers in the 2013 tax season. These helpers provided tax clinics in Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Lanark and Pakenham during the tax seasons of March and April. Their assistance to taxpayers with low income was very much appreciated in the communities. Many taxpayers do not know how to prepare their income tax return themselves. The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is a program

organized by Canada Revenue Agency to train volunteers to provide this important community service to taxpayers who have low to modest income and a simple tax situation. Lanark Community Programs will continue to co-ordinate this free volunteer income tax program and is looking for volunteers who may be interested in volunteering their time. Volunteer income tax filers are needed as are volunteers who could assist clients during our free income tax clinics. Free training

begins in February for all volunteers, clinics run from March through to April 2015. Some volunteers will still be needed through the summer months to help community members get caught up on past income tax years. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact Maureen Hampton at Lanark Community Programs, 613-257-7121 or 1-800-6672617 ext. 104 for more details.

Leeds and Grenville with greater marketing opportunities at fair market value for goods produced, and to provide buyers with a steady yearround source of healthy local foods at a one-stop location. The decision follows a presentation by the food hub in June, at which point the economic development committee requested a business plan be provided and that the proposal be referred to the Lanark County Agricultural Advisory Working Group for comment. The working group recommended support for the food hub as it provides a socio-economic driver for agriculture and food services throughout the county. It also recommended Lanark Lodge and other county-related food procurement consider purchases from the hub. In a report to council, the economic development committee noted the project meets 21 objectives in Lanark Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ cial Plan, as well as four out seven goals in Lanark Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vision 2025.

Young Pakenham singer/songwriter to perform at Carp Fair Sept. 27 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community – Pakenham singer/songwriter Delaney Grant will hit the Carp Fair stage on Sept. 27, with her signature country sound. Having performed twice at the fair last year – on Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon – the just-turned 18year-old moved up to the evening slot this year, performing with Ottawa band Sidewinder and American multi-platinum selling artist Joe Diffie. “They enjoyed her so much they gave her a call this spring,” said Grant’s mother Nancy Ziebarth.

Grant, who recently performed an acoustic set with Charlie Major at the Perth Fair, is in her first year of music at Bishop’s University, in Sherbrooke, Que. and was unavailable for comment. Her sister, 15-year-old Maeghan, will sing back-up vocals during the Carp set. “This is our home, the Carp Fair,” said Ziebarth, adding she was proud of her daughters. “It’s a great confidence builder for them.”

Pakenham singer/ songwriter Delaney Grant is set to perform at the Carp Fair for the third time Saturday, Sept. 27. The 18-year-old recently performed an acoustic set with Charlie Major at the Perth Fair.

terest in singing out and writing.” Her family took her to Nashville last spring, where Grant was coached by Renee Grant-Williams, a vocal coach who has worked with a number of country and pop artists. She also attended a by invitation only song-writing camp. “She’s always had music in her,” said Ziebarth. “We’re trying to work locally, just getting her out, getting people to listen to her.” Grant is a past finalist in the Ottawa Idol competition, as well as the Hoedown Showdown held in Toronto. She plays guitar, classical violin and fiddle, as well as the piano. She also works with Models International.

Paramedics cycle throughout area to honour fallen colleagues Darryl Fleming, who helped organize the stop with Dale McCabe and local emergency responders. Fleming said that a paramedic is just like anyone else, who gets sick, pays bills but also “stands taller than most men and when all is on the line, dedicates himself to the community.” “It’s a serious life because they’ve seen much death,” Fleming continued. “There’s a divine peace and satisfaction in a job well done.” After observing a moment of silence for Popplewell, his wife Lisa, also a paramedic, and sons

Sam and Luke were presented with Paramedic Ride ﬂags and a commemorative jersey. “All of us at the Lanark County Paramedic Service and CUPE 4480 are proud to have been here to sponsor this truly awesome cause, a national paramedic memorial monument, a place where our nation can come and honour the ultimate sacriﬁces of Canadian paramedics,” Fleming stated. “We’d like to thank Lanark County for allowing us to share in what we do,” noted Norm Robillard, on behalf of the Paramedic Ride.

COMMENTARY

Unmasking the silent killer

Editorial – It’s a gas that you can’t smell, see or taste, but it’s all around us. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, radon is responsible for approximately 2,000 lung cancer deaths in Canada each year, but exposure is preventable. The cancer society is hoping that with the Oct. 27 municipal election fast approaching, candidates decide to tackle some health-based agendas. While the link between lung cancer and smoking is widely known, radon is actually the second-leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking in Canada and in Ontario alone, the Canadian Cancer Society estimates it results in 850 deaths a year. Radon is the most dangerous in high concentrations, when it accumulates in buildings through piping and cracks, but exposure can take place over a long period of time. The cancer society believes municipal leaders can play a strong role in reducing radon levels simply by adding more measures to mitigate the release of the gas. In 2010, restrictions were added to the National Building Code regarding radon, but this code is optional for Ontario builders. Municipalities can take it one step further by passing their own resolutions asking the province to harmonize codes. If further lung cancer deaths can be prevented, isn’t it worth a try?

would hold what passed for an ironing board. It was nothing fancy like the ones you could buy at Scott’s hardware...ones that sprung up and locked in place. No this ironing board was a smoothed off piece of lumber, wrapped in many layers of well-used ﬂannelette sheets and topped with one or two opened-up white ﬂour bags, well bleached beforehand of course. It was set on the backs of the two kitchen chairs and then everything was ready for what would take the better part of Mother’s Tuesday. Of course, much of the laundry had to be dampened. So Mother brought a small basin of water to the ironing board, and dipping her hand into the water, she sprinkled each piece royally and then rolled it into a tight sausage shape.

were the pieces of clothing that had to have the wrinkles ironed out, and there they sat like little logs until ready to be ironed. These damped pieces would be hankies, the dress shirts Father and the brothers wore to church, the little Peter Pan collars that adorned so many of our dresses in those Depression years, bringing a bit of relief to our very plain wardrobe and the hand-embroidered pillow cases. Even the hems of the ﬂour-bag sheets would be ironed. When we went off to school, Mother would already be bent over the ironing board. At one end of the board was a saucer, and here Mother kept a block of wax, and occasionally I would see her pass the hot iron over this wax. But I never knew the purpose of the exercise. All I knew was it was a part of that Tuesday’s ritual. When we came home from school on ironing day, you could still smell the sweet scent of freshly ironed clothes. The board would be gone from the backs of the two chairs and tucked behind the door out in the summer kitchen, where it would stay until the next Tuesday.

And hanging on the back of the kitchen door would be spanking clean aprons at the ready. The iron bases would be sitting on tin pie plates cooling off so that they could be put away until needed again. Mother would be dead tired that night...having stood most of the day over the ironing board. My sister Audrey would be given the job of putting all the clothes away and when I helped her, I couldn’t resist pressing my nose against the clean pillow slips, capturing that fresh smell of the outdoors. And I would wonder, but never dare to ask, why we didn’t change our bedding on Tuesdays instead of on Saturdays, by which time that wonderful scent of freshly ironed linens would be gone.

Retired Tay Valley teacher marches on Washington for climate action Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – A Tay Valley Township woman can truly call herself a fellow traveller with the likes of Al Gore and Dr. David Suzuki. Anita Payne, a retired high school teacher at St. John Catholic High School, who calls Black Lake home, is rejoining the Great March for Climate Action this month, from Chicago to Washington, DC. “There haven’t been as many people on the march as organizers had hoped,” said Payne, during a recent interview. Part of the reason for this is because another similar march, the People’s Climate March, is also marching from New York, and is drawing a lot more attention and publicity. The march kicked off on March 1, in Los Angeles, and Payne marched all the way to Arizona. At the very start of the march there was a big crowd but “most of those people walked with us for the first two-anda-half miles,” she said, before they melted away. But during that initial flush, “it was really awesome.” The starting venue was deliberately chosen – right beside an oil refinery on the L.A. waterfront, which, organizers claim, has created a lot of respiratory problems in the neighbourhood. While California is in the midst of a dreadful drought, on the morning of the walk launch, the heavens opened up and let down a torrential rain. It was not enough to soak her spirits – though the papier-mâché polar bear was a little worse for wear after the first 17 miles. “We were not really prepared for the downpour that happened,” she recalled. As the Californian rain began to fall on the parched earth, and her, she thought back to the events that had led her to be marching off down the road towards the desert. After her retirement, Payne had gotten involved with several causes, including Fair Vote Canada, but in June of 2013, a friend asked her to come with her for climate reality training in Chicago – where former US vice president Al Gore would be speaking. While there, and after hearing Gore speak, and deliver his now famous slide show on climate change, made popular in his documentary An Inconvenient Truth, she heard about the march. But she admits that, at first, she was not entirely convinced it was for her. “I was glad the Americans

were doing something,” she said. “But I was not too interested.” That is, until she got an email from another conference attendee, a “spry old woman,” who was walking the entire 3,000 kilometres of the march. If she could do it, why not her? “I can’t do the whole eight months out of my life,” she thought. “The heath would have been too much on the prairies.” So she decided to march the first 500 miles and the final 500 miles of the walk. She walked from Los Angeles to Phoenix this past spring, not only walking, but driving the break truck and other duties when called upon, “being able to make sure that others can do the walk.” Along the way, she and her fellow walkers have gotten a mixed reaction from people. “Some people thought we were crazy,” she said. Some were skeptical, but polite. Upon hearing why they were marching, they would simply say, “well, good luck with that.” Others were more supportive, telling her “I am glad you are doing this,” while others “would rather sit on the fence.” She also came face-to-face with real life climate change deniers. “It is amazing that some people can still be in that camp,” she said with great indignation and incomprehension. At one point in the walk, while she was riding a bike, her Canadian flag sewn on to her backpack, “some man in a pickup truck rolled down his window and yelled, ‘Go back to Canada, ya dumb ass!’” To that, she thought, “OK, we’ve hit a nerve. I laughed it off.” Besides, she was getting plenty of supportive honks along the way. “We want to bring the conversation out,” she says, and she makes no apologies for being a Canadian marching on the American capital. “I, as a Canadian, am going down (to) the US since I don’t think my government is going to take any action,” and she feels that president Barack Obama might be more likely to lend a sympathetic ear. While she said she clearly believes in climate change and wishes others would take it seriously, she also believes that some of her fellow travellers take it far too seriously. “Some of the scientists are saying we’re screwed,” with mass human extinction possible in the next two decades. But that pessimistic world view is not shared by Payne.

She is pinning her hopes on what is called a “lame duck” session of Congress, where, essentially, defeated and retiring politicians return to DC after the November elections and continue on their work, getting one last kick of the can, before the new congress is sworn in January. Payne and some of her fellow marchers will be breaking off from the main march in Indiana to head up to New York City by bus on Sunday, Sept. 21, for the People’s Climate March to show her support for their common goal. On that day, Christian denominations across the world, and in Canada, will be participating in some manner of climate action. The march is being tied in with a climate change summit hosted by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon being held that day. Submitted photo “Canada has been involved Anita Payne, a retired high school teacher at St. John Catholic High School is walking in in trying to stop the progress of the Great March for Climate Action this month. climate talks,” she said. “It’s so shameful.” “I don’t want to be in (that) camp,” she said. “It’s not too late. But nobody knows. We need to take drastic action.” During her break in between walking, she took up the challenge of the Citizens Climate Lobby group, which lobbied the Canadian and American governments in both Ottawa and Washington, DC back in June on climate change. She has also done two climate action presentations and hopes to do more. One initiative she would love to see the Harper government adopt, is one that did not go over so well in the 2008 federal election and was recently scrapped by the new Australian government – a carbon tax. “(Yes), essentially a carbon tax, but we try not to use that terminology,” she said. “Because of the spin the Harperites keep putting on it, as a ‘job-killing carbon tax.’ Yes, there will be jobs lost. But even more jobs will be created.” She pointed to British Columbia’s carbon tax where, she says, “people are happy with it,” though she conceded that “it does make every thing a little bit more expensive.” She joined up again with the walk in Chicago on Saturday, Sept. 6, with the walk likely to end up in DC on Saturday, Nov. 1, just days before the Nov. 4 mid-term elections. She hopes to be able to get a Republican senator or congressperson to put forward legislation on climate change because, with the partisan rancor in DC, “if a Democrat put if forward, no Republican will support it.” R0012907919 Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 9 - Thursday, September 25, 2014

Changing trends make newspapers best alternative Reflections By Jeff maguire

sult some staid old dailies have fallen by the wayside. The Rocky Mountain News in Denver, Colorado is one example. The paper, the oldest in the state and a fixture in Denver since 1859, published its last edition in February 2009. The very next month the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which was founded in 1863, reverted to an online edition only. No hard copy newspaper from the Seattle P-I. The list goes on! The Detroit Free Press and Detroit News, once bitter rivals in the Motor City, long ago joined forces under a joint operating agreement. That has evolved into what is called “the Detroit Media Partnership.” From what I have read the Free Press in particular is experiencing rapid digital growth these days. The sale of hard copies is far less practical, not only in Detroit but across the continent. A good example is our own neighbourhood in Carleton Place. My wife and I are among the few people who receive a daily newspaper from Ottawa every morning. When we first moved here, 23 years ago, every second house got the same newspaper daily. Yes, things have changed dramatically. At one time people could count on the nearest daily paper to cover their district. The daily was supplemented by the local community newspaper, such as this one, which for most of my tenure in newspaper management were paid circulation products. Now the majority of community newspapers (they were once called “weeklies”) are controlled circulation or, as they are more commonly called “free distribution” products. In other words they are delivered to every door in the community free of charge or are available in boxes placed in central locations. Radio and television has been around for a long time of course and over the years those mediums have also changed significantly. Years ago when we wanted an immediate news fix we would turn on the radio or TV. That’s not as easy to do now. Radio news is a thing of the past on many stations and others have cut their news and public affairs content considerably. As for television the slant today is clearly toward entertainment programming. News is being left largely Old papers fall to the “big boys”, networks such as Still others have totally failed in FOX or CNN. their attempts to stay afloat. As a reIn Canada the CBC and CTV net-

works offer all-news channels on cable and Global is also a big player on the news side. Locally I have been surprised by how much television news has changed. Recently I was shocked when I turned on a popular channel to watch “the news” only to discover the ﬁrst story of the evening was about the death of comedienne Joan Rivers. Admittedly I was never a big fan of hers. But seriously, was that story the “top news story” of the day – or any day for that matter? With apologies to Joan’s loved ones, I think not. Certainly not in Ottawa, at least. Increasingly I have found myself turning to the aforementioned news channels if I want to see and hear about the major stories of the day. As for the daily papers in this region I can’t say they do a good job of reporting the news in the district surrounding Ottawa. Budget cuts have forced newspapers to retract and cover city news, not district news. I hope that changes obviously. I would love to see a return to the days when Ottawa dailies covered the Ottawa Valley like a blanket. That is highly unlikely given the shift in how news is being covered and presented. But I feel newspapers in general still have a strong role to play. Given the mass media shift away from indepth news coverage, that is where newspapers win. That includes community papers such as this one. Newspapers vital If I want in-depth stories I have to read a newspaper. Those who aren’t bothering to pick up their community newspaper or a district daily are missing a lot. That’s really unfortunate because there is so much more to the news than what you see or hear capsulized on the Internet, social media, radio or television. For example, the only way I could really keep up with last week’s Scottish referendum, something that really interested me, was to read the daily newspaper. The little snippets in the mass media were mere teasers. They didn’t satisfy my appetite with respect to a story I was so interested in. By the way I am glad my prediction, made a few weeks ago in this space, came true. The NO side’s triumph is good and in so many ways! On the other hand when I want to be brought up to date on what is happening with respect to the municipal election in Carleton Place, where we live, this is the newspaper I read. Community papers are the only good alternative left when it comes to news, sports, information and advertising in smaller communities such as ours. Thank goodness for the community newspaper. Without it we would be left completely in the dark on so many important subjects. To be fair I have to give local ra-

dio some credit. But as I have already written, if you want the story behind the story you have to read the community newspaper. I’m often asked if I think the days of hard copy papers are numbered? People know about my long tenure in this business and they are interested in my opinion. Many feel that given all of the changes, newspapers could go the way of the Passenger Pigeon. I don’t think so! Certainly not in the foreseeable future at least and I hope that over the course of time there will

be something of a return to hard copy products, including daily newspapers. Obviously the world changes more and more each day. But newspapers have always managed to ﬁnd a way to survive and even thrive. If the powers that be continue to react positively to the changing marketplace then I am conﬁdent there’s a strong future for newspapers. I certainly hope so!

Lifestyle – I have been in the newspaper business all of my working life. I don’t think I have ever written anything in defence of newspapers over the course of 43 years. But there is always a first time and for me this is it! What prompted me to write this particular column is the ongoing criticism I am hearing regularly about newspapers in general. It’s amazing how many people think newspapers are headed for extinction. I respectfully disagree. Newspapers need to reinvent themselves in many cases, no question of that. If newspapers move with the times their future is unlimited. That’s because newspapers still lead the way when it comes to news gathering. And reporting is the most basic and yet the most important aspect of the news business. Needless to say I have been disappointed to witness the steady decline in the daily newspaper industry in Canada and across North America. The United Kingdom and Europe seem to have resisted the trend to some degree, although the newspaper landscape overseas is also very fluid at present. The rise in the popularity of the worldwide web (Internet) was the first big blow for the dailies. The more recent impact of so-called “social media” has delivered an even bigger hit. People are depending more and more on their hand-held devices, tablets, laptops and desktop computers to access news, sports, weather and in particular entertainment alternatives of all kinds. I totally get it. In our plugged-in world, people now expect to receive information immediately. I feel the newspapers, especially the brain trusts responsible for the big dailies, badly underestimated what the Internet and social media was going to do to them. They reacted very slowly and for some well-known publications that has proven disastrous. Some big names have already fallen and others are hanging on for dear life. The truth is that some newspaper companies have reacted faster and they have done a better job of putting together websites that are proving more and more popular with people who won’t spend the money to purchase a newspaper or won’t take the time to read one. Digital media is the trend and with it comes numerous advertising options. Advertising of course is the lifeblood of this business. The advantage newspapers have is that they have staff in place that are plugged in and can use the various platforms available to the news media today. Some are doing it more effectively than others obviously.

Lineup announced for annual Westport Writers Reading Oct. 4 Community – The Westport Arts Council’s seventh annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church from 1 to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 4, features award-winning authors Terry Fallis, Charlotte Gray, Ian Hamilton and Diane Schoemperlen. Terry Fallis’ very first novel, The Best Laid Plans, won the 2008 Stephen Leacock Medal for humour. Brazenly undeterred, Fallis went on to write three more bestsellers: The High Road, Up and Down, and his current hit, No Relation. The Best Laid Plans was later chosen winner of CBC’s 2011 Canada Reads (“essential Canadian novel of the decade”), and produced as a six-part television mini-series airing twice this year on the CBC network to wide acclaim. His second and third novels, The High Road and Up and Down, were also finalists for the Leacock Medal. Up and Down debuted on the Globe and Mail bestseller list and won the 2013 Ontario Library Association Evergreen Award. The same year, the Canadian Booksellers Association awarded Terry their Libris Award for Author of the Year. Fallis’ fourth novel, No Relation, has had a solid three-month run on several national bestseller lists since publication in May of this year, and is his first book to be translated for foreign publication. After completing an engineering degree, Fallis worked in provincial and

This year’s lineup features, from left, award-winning authors Charlotte Gray, Diane Schoemperlen, Ian Hamilton and Terry Fallis. federal politics (reflected in his first three books), and later in communications and public relations. In 1995 he co-founded Thornley Fallis, a full-service agency with offices in Ottawa and Toronto. He lives in Toronto where he is already working on his fifth novel. Charlotte Gray is the first writer to make a return appearance at Writers Reading, having first read in Westport in 2008. A widely acclaimed master of literary non-fiction, she is the author of nine books, including her latest, The Massey Murder, short-listed for the RBC Taylor Prize, and one of the Globe and Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2013. Earlier this year, an adaptation of Gray’s 2010 bestseller, Gold Diggers: Striking it Rich in the Klondike, was

broadcast in the US and Canada as the Discovery Channel mini-series Klondike. A PBS documentary adaptation of Gold Diggers is currently in production. Gray’s previous books include Sisters in the Wilderness: The Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catherine Parr Trail; Reluctant Genius: The Passionate Life and Inventive Mind of Alexander Graham Bell; and Flint & Feather: The Life and Times of E. Pauline Johnson, all national bestsellers. She is a member of the Order of Canada, an Adjunct Research Professor of history at Carleton University, sits on the board of the Ottawa International Authors Festival and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. She is a popular radio and television commenta-

tor and celebrated magazine journalist. Born in England, Gray moved to Canada after studies at Oxford University and the London School of Economics. She lives in Ottawa. Ian Hamilton’s first two books were published forty years apart. His first in 1968 – a non-fiction look at the Trudeauera Company of Young Canadians – was a Canadian Book-of-the-Month Club selection. His second, the first of what is already a six-book series, introduced the resourceful and unorthodox forensic accountant, Chinese-Canadian heroine Ava Lee. The Water Rat of Wanchai won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel, and was chosen a Top 5 Fiction Book of the Year by both the Toronto Star and

Quill & Quire, an Amazon.ca Top 100 Book of the Year and Top 100 Editors’ Pick and an Amazon.ca Mysteries and Thrillers Pick. Subsequent books in the series have fared equally well, reaching bestseller status and securing worldwide rights in Spanish and French and international rights in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Holland and Germany. Film options are being considered. Other titles include: The Disciple of Las Vegas, The Wild Beasts of Wuhan, The Red Pole of Macau, The Scottish Banker of Surabaya, and The Two Sisters of Borneo. A seventh novel in the series, The King of Shanghai, will be published in February 2015. Hamilton’s See WRITERS page 28

haunting late evening wailing, barred owls which took great delight in jolting the campers out of a peaceful sleep with their loud “Who-cooks-for-you-all” calls, osprey soaring the air currents in search of an unsuspecting lake trout, a whip-poor-will heard off in the distance and very noisy red-shouldered hawks and pileated woodpeckers, heard right at the campsite. In the animal world, the group noted that whenever the barred owls called out at night, a family of coyotes would respond with howls and yipping. Several large painted turtles were discovered sunning themselves on rock surfaces

and two species of snakes were found. Two black water snakes were swimming in a quiet bay and a rare black rat snake was found curled along a stick at the water’s edge. The rat snake is on the endangered species list. Also found along the shoreline were many beautiful displays of bottled or closed gentian and turtleheads. The latter is a member of the snapdragon family. Many members of the aster family were discovered by the group, including one clump of the very beautiful New England aster. The MVFN annual canoe camp is part of a summer-

long program of canoeing and kayaking trips to explore nature and its beauty in and around our many lakes, rivers streams and wetland areas. The ﬁnal event of the year will be the MVFN annual Fall Colours Paddle, to be held this year at the west end of White Lake on Sunday, Sept. 28. For more information on MVFN’s canoe program, please contact Sheldon Scrivens at 613836-0309 or sheldon.scrivens@ sympatico.ca.

Studio Theatre’s Crimes of the Heart has it all ATTENTION

Submitted photo

The Studio Theatre is getting set to present to kick off the fall season with its production of Beth Henley’s Crimes of the Heart, opening Oct. 9. Above, Babe (Mary Ann Majaury), one of three sisters, plays her saxophone. pense, silliness and above all... hilarity!” Barb has found herself a stunning cast. Gina Tremaine plays Lenny, the eldest who cares for an ailing grandfather and tries to keep a lid on her other two explosive siblings. Mary Ann Ma-

jaury plays Babe who is out on bail for shooting her husband (it seems he deserved it), and Tracy Noonan is Meg, who tries to make everyone believe she has a successful singing career. Into this mix of personalities comes the gossipy cousin, Chick Boyle (Patti Greer) and Barnette Lloyd (Andrew McDougall), a young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail. Scott Duncan, plays Doc Porter a former boyfriend of Meg’s. Three disparate sisters, each with her own “crime of the heart” with which she must come to terms, plus a volatile mixture of minor characters, skilfully handled by a brilliant playwright. As the director describes it, “…the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.” Barb’s production crew is no less impressive, with the Silberhorns, Penny and Reiner, constructing and dressing the set, Patricia Parry, ably assisted by Loree Tannett, taking care of costumes, Yogi Sepp managing the lighting and sound design, Jean Cooke taking care of props, and Jane Stott, the invaluable stage manager,

overseeing the production. Crimes of the Heart opens at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street East in Perth, on Thursday, Oct. 9 and continues Oct. 10, 11, 17, 18 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. There is an opening night special with $5 off regular price tickets at all outlets and at the door, Oct. 9 only. Tickets are available in advance at The Book Nook, 60 Gore Street E. for $22, cash only and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., Perth. Tickets can also be ordered by phone at Shadowfax (613-2676817/1-800-518-2729), online (shadowfax.on.ca); and at Tickets Please 613-485-6434 (ticketsplease.ca). A convenience fee applies to these latter two outlets. Tickets are $24 at the door, and students with ID pay just $10 at the door on show night. For further information call the Studio Theatre box ofﬁce at 613-267-7469 (please note this number does not take ticket orders) or visit the website at www. studiotheatreperth.com.

Arts – Three has always been considered a mystical number – three fates, three furies, three wishes. It is classic in literature beginning with the fairy tales we heard as children – three little pigs, three blind mice, three billy goats gruff. Macbeth was confronted by three weird sisters; Portia had to choose between three suitors who had a choice of three caskets – gold, silver or lead; Chekhov wrote about “three sisters.” So when Beth Henley wrote Crimes of the Heart, she chose to involve three sisters as well, but these so very different from Chekhov’s characters. Barb Guthrie, who directs this prize-winning play, explains what ﬁrst appealed to her about the story. “I loved its quirkiness and humour and its ultimate optimism in the face of sad and troubling situations,” she muses. “I also enjoyed the way the story unfolded in surprising ways. Just when you think you know what is happening, something unexpected arises. It is a story that has it all: love, sex, attempted murder, jealousy, insanity, depression, joy, hopefulness, sus-

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/ hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Lanark County municipal candidates asked for views on climate change News – The Lanark – Climate Action Network (L-CAN) is surveying all candidates running for municipal office within Lanark County for their views on actions that can be taken locally to address climate change. “We want voters to know whether their candidates are taking seriously climate change and its effects on our community,” said Peggy

Land, coordinator of L-CAN. L-CAN organizations supporting the survey are ecoPerth, Friends of the Tay Watershed Association, Lanark County Stewardship Council, National Farmers Union-Ontario, Louis Gaudreau (Plant Manager, OMYA Canada), Paula Stewart (Medical Officer of Health for Leeds, Grenville and Lanark), REAL, Transition Perth

and The Seventh Generation Initiative. L-CAN is asking all candidates in the Lanark County municipalities of Lanark Highlands, Tay Valley, Mississippi Mills, Beckwith, Carleton Place, Perth, Drummond North Elmsley and Montague, and the separated Town of Smiths Falls, to complete the three-minute survey by Sunday, Sept. 28.

L-CAN will then post the results on a website so everyone can see what their candidates think should be done to address climate change, and its effects on human health, the environment and the economy, locally. “We’re asking voters to contact their candidates and encourage them to complete the survey,” said Land.

Fall at Full Circle Theatre: Venus is out, but laughter is in Arts – There is no doubt that BarnDoor Productions’ planned opener for their 20th anniversary season, David Ives’ Venus In Fur, is the hottest play on the continent. So much so, in fact, that the play has been picked up for a third run by a Toronto-based professional company, playing both Toronto and Montreal through the end of the year. What that means for local audiences is that BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) rights to perform the show have been superseded by the professional company’s extended run, leaving the Perth-based community theatre to find a replacement show fast. Digging in to their box of available productions, BDP have decided to revive a show that has been a big hit elsewhere, but which has only played for one performance in Perth. Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is a one-man show that takes its audience on a funny, heart-warming and informative tour of the life

Twain’s most successful inventions, a patented “self-sticking” scrapbook. The items in this scrapbook include ramblings about Twain’s birth and life on the Mississippi in the 1830s, the famous story of The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, a reading from Huckleberry Finn, his adventures in the Old West and through to his late life musings on death, heaven and hell. Even 100 years after his passing, Twain continued to cause con-

and works of Samuel Langhorn Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, one of the most influential authors and successful humourists of all time. Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is performed by BarnDoor Productions’ producing director, David Jacklin, well-known in eastern Ontario for his more than three decades of producing, writing, performing and more in the region, although the show actually goes back further than that – Jacklin first brought the show to life 37 years ago, when he was 21-years-old! And “life” is an appropriate word, here. Audience members at previous performances dubbed the show “a tour de force!”, saying “it needs to be seen!” Jacklin’s performance received high praise, with one audience member declaring that they “quickly forgot that it wasn’t actually Mark Twain up there.” Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook takes its name from one of

Survey asks: Are you septic system savvy? News – More than a million Ontario households rely on septic systems to treat their wastewater. If yours is one of them, congratulations – it’s Septic Smart Week, time to think about this important but often neglected element of your home. Fill in a quick online survey at www.tinyurl.com/ septicsurvey for a chance to win $500 for system maintenance. An estimated 25 per cent of septic systems across the province are beyond their 30-year design life and are failing to protect ground and surface water, the source of our drinking water. As noted by Terry Rees of the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations, “Septics are certainly a key piece of infrastructure for Ontario’s 250,000 waterfront property owners.”

Working with provincial partners, Green Communities Canada is conducting a survey to identify the types of systems in use, how they are used, maintained, repaired, and replaced, and how people make decisions about their systems. Meanwhile, you can take action during Septic Smart Week to make sure your system is in good order: • Have a licensed technician inspect the system, pump out the tank, and install an effluent filter; • Remind your household to avoid putting anything down the drain that may interfere with the system (e.g. coffee grounds, food scraps, tampons, applicators, flushable wipes, condoms, antibacterials and solvents); and

• Remind everyone to conserve water – large volumes can overload the system and cause failure Septic system construction is regulated under the Building Code, but maintenance, including pumping and inspection, is a homeowner responsibility. Some regions have mandatory septic inspections every ﬁve years by the municipality or conservation authority, and some have grants to help property owners conduct necessary repairs and upgrades, but these are variable across the province. The survey, the ﬁrst of its kind ever conducted across Ontario, is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs and will only be available until Sept. 30

is discovering an artist’s work that really rocks your world. Great tours like ours have a wide range of makers and breadth of expression even within a particular medium. Affordable price points: Feeling flush or feeling strapped? There’s something on the tour ‘menu’ to suit all pocketbooks including a free outdoor public art gallery called Fieldwork (www.fieldworkproject.com). In our studios, you’ll see price tags ranging from $5 to $5,000. Integrity and community: Who doesn’t like supporting businesses that are fueled by good intentions and community support? Whether using local, organic food in your menu, or supporting local efforts that benefit the larger community (or both in our case), doing good for others while doing your own good work is simply a good thing. The Perth Autumn Studio Tour has this aspect covered in spades. Lunch at Brooke Valley School raises money for its cool one-room school and sales of Empty Bowls (www.emptybowls. ca) supports food security initiatives in our area. Great, welcoming service: Your interest and patronage in our work make us happy. A big smile and an upbeat attitude will reward you for your attentions. Our tour is your opportunity to ask all the pressing questions you’ve been dying to ask us.

Passion: Really this should be numero uno. Great chefs and great artists should love what they do. When passion is brought to one’s work it can be tasted, felt and seen. The Perth Autumn Studio Tour brings together a spirited bunch of artists and makers who love what they do and want to share their talents and passions with you. With seven beautiful studios nestled along the meandering roads of Brooke Valley, the Perth Autumn Studio Tour offers art lovers and nature seekers alike a great way to get a taste of our gorgeous autumn landscape and to purchase work from 24 noteworthy artists and makers. Five new artists as well as many popular returning guests, will complement the wide range of work our studios present. Clay, wood, stone, glass, ink, chocolate, photography, paper and textiles will be formed into items as varied as sinks, jewelry, paintings, prints, bags, canoes, clothing, sculpture, tableware, furniture and mosaics.

Community – Surprising as it may seem, assessing the merits of a restaurant can be remarkably similar to assessing the merits of a studio tour. The Perth Autumn Studio Tour is coming up this Thanksgiving weekend (Oct. 11 to 13) and the list that follows should help you determine why you won’t want to miss getting a seat at our ‘table’! A great chef is like a great artist. They need to know what to do with their ingredients. Even the best ingredients can look and taste like hell without a highly skilled maker at the helm. Craftsmanship and expertise are basic fundamentals to a great tour. Our juried tour features dedicated, skilled, and award-winning makers. As the saying goes…You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Great food and great art experiences start with quality ingredients. You can’t make a great dish that will leave lasting impressions with second-rate ingredients and you can’t create an enduring studio tour without quality participants. We’ve been around for 22 years and have a ﬁvestar reputation. Imagination: Taste buds like to be pleasantly surprised don’t they? Great chefs and artists put their personal ‘signatures’ on their work and aren’t afraid to surprise. A distinctive environment: Whether this means a funky décor or the

Land sought for Habitat for Humanity project sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Habitat for Humanity - 1000 Islands is looking for a local property owner to work with them in making a house a home for at least two local families in need. The necessity of securing a land donation was made clear by the charitable organization who attended this week’s council session. “This is a major issue for us,” said Martin Van Andel, vice chair of Habitat for Humanity - 1000 Islands. Ideally, the organization is looking for a serviced lot in town, but is open to rural property. Any land donations receive a tax receipt and will allow the local project to begin with plans to put a shovel in the ground in 2015. “I think we need to go out there and find us some land,” remarked Coun. Dawn Quinn. The organization is asking council and anyone who can help them secure property to please do so. Currently, there are no leads. Habitat for Humanity is an international organization with chapters dedicated to eliminating poverty through home building and home ownership. “We encourage partner families to succeed,” said Rev. David Stead, Smiths Falls resident and Habitat for Humanity board member. Habitat for Humanity Canada has completed a study of the impacts of housing on families and found that 89 per cent of those who participated felt their lives had been improved by home

ownership; 78 per cent saw improved health and 65 per cent said their children exhibited improved confidence. “We are really supporting families… what we do is going to have an affect with their children for years and years to come,” Van Andel said. “It brings wonderful things like hope,” Stead added. Habitat for Humanity is hopeful they will receive land and have started to organize fundraisers to cover the estimated $150,000 needed to support such a project. Susie Noel is leading the fundraising charge in Smiths Falls and has begun with a Houses for Change fundraiser at the Calvary Bible Church. Parishioners were sent home with boxes (in the shape of houses) and asked to collect change. This is an ongoing initiative that has raised $1,831.50 so far. As well, the church teamed up with Smiths Falls Free Methodist Church to host a book sale that brought in $650. “Every dollar we can raise is a dollar that the families, who receive these homes, will not have to pay back to Habitat for Humanity,” Noel said. Once the land is secured the nonprofit organization can then open up the application process to families. These families undergo a rigorous process to be recommended by the Family Selection Committee who brings this recommendation forward to the Habitat for Humanity board who makes the final vote. Van Andel said at no time are identities of the family known.

Glenn MacPhail (left) first vice-chair and Keith Anderson, president of Legion Branch 95 are all smiles after receiving $4,117.73 from mayor Dennis Staples Sept. 22. The funds will go towards installing an elevator from the main floor to the basement in the legion.

Staples golf tournament benefits Legion Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Smiths Falls residents at both ends of the age spectrum will feel the positive effects from the proceeds of Mayor Dennis Staples’ Open golf tournament held Aug. 29. The mayor made formal presentations of $4,117.73 each to the Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens RINK and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 for its elevator project. “It’s a wonderful surprise,” said Keith Anderson, Legion president. The mayor felt the Legion’s project

was an ideal candidate for the funds as the hall itself is used by many community organizations and the project was actively under way, but he added the decision was not an easy one. “There are no shortages of worthy projects” in Smiths Falls, the mayor said. His donation will help the Legion reach the halfway mark in its efforts to raise roughly $80,000 for the elevator to take veterans from the ground floor to the lounge. “We’re doing pretty good,” Anderson said. To date, the Legion has raised $42,000

through fundraisers and donations such as this. The Legion executive members are optimistic they will be able to match the community’s generosity with a provincial grant of some sort. They attended a meeting in Brockville this Tuesday (Sept. 23) to investigate possible grant opportunities. “Hopefully we can get them to kick in something,” Anderson said. The elevator has been a dream of the Legion’s for many years. The local veterans it serves are aging and experiencing more and more mobility restric-

Support for Brittany and Brooke Henderson began at home and it’s no different now that they are reaching superstar status on the links. Many members of the family came out Sept. 22 to support the girls during the sign unveiling. The girls will be permanently celebrated on the town signs leading into the community.

her commitment to golf with the University of Florida. When asked what she misses most about home when away, Brooke had a long list of iconic facilities from her school to the canal and the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club. “I spend almost all my time there,” she said. The faces of her friends and family certainly topped the list of things she misses about Smiths Falls the most. Many of those special individuals attended the

Sept. 22 unveiling to lend their support, including the girls’ dad, Dave. “On behalf of the family we’d like to thank the Town of Smiths Falls and all the people that came out today,” the girls’ father, Dave Henderson, added. “We certainly appreciate this. Thank you very much.” The support of her hometown will mean a lot to Brooke once she embarks on her professional career and begins to launch her brand.

such a narrow road. “It does make it a little bit tricky,” Dales said. The company staff member went on to say bus drivers are instructed to be courteous to other drivers on the road, but this doesn’t address the students (aged three to eight years) and their parents weaving between buses. The proposed parking restriction aims to pick up on this safety issue and keep the kids and their parents safe. Coun. Chris Cummings questions the wording of the bylaw and if it should read “no stopping” instead of no parking since many parents dropping off their kids wouldn’t consider themselves parking the car. Coun. Lorraine Allen thoroughly supports the recommendation, saying she has had personal experience with this when she worked in the education system. “This, to me, is something that we have to do. We’re talking about the life of the children who are going to those schools,” Allen said.

If this change is approved, parents will be encouraged to park along Davidson Street near the play yard or inside the front parking lot of the school. Forbes confirmed school staff has been directed to park around the building, “so that frees up about 18 spaces for parents to drop off,” she said. Should the restriction receive approval at the council table, councillors have instructed bylaw enforcement staff to begin with an educational approach at first before fines are levied. “He’s been great to help us out,” Dale said of the bylaw staff member who has already been working to address the issue with the school. Lynda McKimm, manager of planning and sustainable growth, reported at committee this week that she believed the school is looking into signage and perhaps installing a gate into the school yard at Davidson Street. Town staff is also looking into a signage issue at St. Francis de Sales School. This issue was noted in a letter written by Frank Healey of Healey Transportation in relation to this parking restriction.

tions. Over the years Anderson has seen these obstacles block veterans from sharing in Legion events, including Remembrance Day, which is a solemn day for all veterans. “They’re very proud of their service,” and to “remember people (who) didn’t come back,” Anderson said. It is in this memory that an anonymous donation

of $10,000 by a Legion member was made to the Legion for the elevator fund. “It’s unbelievable,” Anderson remarked. The Legion hopes to install the elevator system in the spring, 2015 and is still looking for a contractor who is able to give them a good deal on installation.

Coun. Shawn Pankow joined his colleagues in verbally supporting the initiative, saying the town has 42 per cent of its population currently living in rentals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see slip past us,â&#x20AC;? Pankow said. Once the home is built Habitat for Humanity holds the mortgage and carries it for up to 30 years with no interest. The mortgage payments are worked out based on a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to pay and the estimated value of $160,000 to $190,000, but Van Andel notes families must be able to cover enough of the mortgage to have it paid off in 30 years. The legacy of a Habitat for Humanity home stretches far beyond the site community or individual families to lives around the world.

Lorraine Allen. The 1000 Islands chapter has been in existence since 1999 and has built nine homes in that time, but this will be their first time in Smiths Falls. If the project gets off the ground a volunteer drive will be next as all the labour and materials are donated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all depends on volunteers,â&#x20AC;? Van Andel adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see it as a community project.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Ken Graham welcomed the charity to town, adding Smiths Falls is full of dedicated volunteers and generous people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to the right community,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Dentistry @ Smiths Falls where relaxation meets care

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As a fundraiser for Sherrie Brown, a local woman who has been battling cancer for the last two years, friends and family gathered at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion for a day of food, drinks and dancing on Saturday, Sept. 20. While the band, Good and Country, played their songs, several couples got on their feet to swing around the dance floor. Funds raised from the various silent auctions and door prizes will go to Brown and her family to help cover medical costs.

Public meeting reviews ground floor apartments in downtown Stacey Roy

“Really, I want to make the building better,” Benda said. When the temporary use on Main Street East was originally approved in 2011 the building owner had proposed mural decals on the building’s front display windows depicting a bakery and a florist shop. Benda said at the time two letters were received objecting to this, saying it would confuse passersby so it was never completed. There was interest at the DBA meeting to look at bringing the idea of mural decals back and possibly make it a standard for such buildings or those sitting vacant. Benda did an informal survey of the downtown and area and found that of 204 commercial spaces 72 of them were not occupied by commercial. Patricia Krotki suggested a possible solution to the confusion decals may cause, from her travels down East where she saw a similar approach to vacant buildings only the images were very cartoonish in nature making it impossible to believe they were actual businesses. “It’s better than seeing an empty store,” Krotki said. Maloney wonders why a handful of required measures were never completed. This includes having the residents enter and exit their units through a back entrance that was manicured with landscaping. “It’s not very pleasing to the eye” to see the front room of their homes each time they open the door, Maloney said.

Benda volunteered to work with the town’s planning department on a comprehensive site plan that would address the visual concerns expressed by DBA members. “We’ll put something together that’s spectacular,” Benda said, who himself is a DBA member. To learn more about this project consider attending the council chambers Monday, Oct. 6, 4 p.m. for the public meeting and have your comments heard. Written submissions for or against are also welcome at the town hall before the item is adopted by council.

News - An application to renew permission for apartment buildings on the ground floor of a commercial building has sparked debate at the DBA board table over the impact of this use to the downtown core. And will be the subject of a public meeting scheduled for Monday, Oct. 6, 4 p.m. at the town hall. For the last three years the Main Street East property has been operating on a temporary basis as fully residential and, according to owner James Benda of Roclyn House Ltd., has been full the entire time. The temporary zoning exception to allow this use expires Dec. 5, 2014. “As a ground floor residential there’s huge demand,” Benda said, during a DBA meeting held last week. “If you live in a wheelchair you can not live downtown.” Residential tenant, Ronald Buker of Smiths Falls is limited to living on a ground floor due to his health and wrote a letter of support during the 2011 application process. “I have had my application with housing for a ground floor apartment for going on three years. Now James Benda has a solution for elderly like myself and fill a building that sits idle,” wrote Buker at that time. Moira Hogan, downtown property owner agreed with Benda that the demand for accommodations in the commercial core is only increasing. “We need apartment spaces for people who

are coming to our downtown core,” Hogan said. The concern for some in the DBA area is that the downtown will lose its business strength if commercial property owners are able to turn their storefronts into apartments. Glenda Bak, owner of a building on Russell Street uses the current vacancies on her street as an example of great commercial opportunity that would be lost if transformed into apartments. “If those stores were to be turned into residential we’d be in big trouble,” Bak said. Niki McKernan, planner who sat in on the DBA meeting to answer questions, noted the approval for apartments would not preclude future commercial use. “This property could revert back to commercial use at any time,” McKernan noted. The question in the mind of John Maloney, owner of the Rideau Winery and Cy Wells of Smiths Shoes, is will that day ever come? Their concern is that the visual detraction of people loitering outside their apartment enjoying the evening air will never encourage commercial interest in the building. “You make it a self-fulfilling prophecy saying it will never be full,” Maloney said. Benda understands the concerns, but counters that previous to this new use he had great difficulty in attracting commercial tenants to the property and feels this building is suitable for transformation into apartments.

Fire truck repairs

Councillors have asked for clarification on an $8,443 repair bill for the town’s new aerial fire truck. Councillors asked why the work wasn’t covered under warranty and what exactly the work was for. “It would be nice to know that information,” said coun. Chris Cummings. Malcolm Morris, CAO thought the work had to do with the bucket malfunctioning, but confirmed he will seek confirmation on this and bring a report back to council. Kerry Costello, director of community services/clerk delivered the report on behalf of Fire Chief Normand Beauchamp who is away this week.

Workshop sheds light on benefits of nature News - Nature can make us happier, smarter and feel better? Really, it’s that simple? Yes, there is a strong connection between spending time in nature and overall health and well being. Children who spend time in nature are more likely to have healthier social behaviour, improved self-esteem, resilience, ability to learn and concentrate, as well as environmental awareness and stewardship ethics. Time in nature decreases stress and anxiety, depression, diabetes, hypertension and many other health problems. We are fortunate to have many opportunities to enjoy nature in our communities - trails, outdoor classrooms, parks, gardens, lakes, rivers, horses, dogs, cats - the list is endless.   The Healthy Communities Partnership: Lanark, Leeds & Grenville (HCP) is pleased to offer two exciting events

to highlight the importance of nature for children and families and to identify what we can do together to build nature into all aspects of our lives.  Everyone is invited to attend these events – come and bring your family and friends!  To register simply go to www.healthyllg.org and click on events to register or email webmaster@healthunit.org for more information.  HCP is excited to bring in Dr. Cheryl Charles to present Nature for Life. This free session will be held Monday, Sept. 29, 6:30 p.m. at the Gallipeau Centre (formerly the Rideau Regional Centre) at 361 Queen St. Complimentary childcare is available. To secure your free child care spot please register online (Event Brite). Dr. Cheryl Charles, PH.D., is cofounder and president of the Children & Nature Network. The Children and Na-

ture Network’s vision is ‘Together we can create a world where every child can play, learn and grow in nature.’ She is an innovator, entrepreneur, author, and educator who is among those instrumental in developing the worldwide movement to reconnect children and nature.   Then on Tuesday, Sept. 30 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Dr. Charles will be joined by Dr. Michael Cheng in the workshop entitled Nature for Life Making it Happen in our Community. Organizers are asking for a donation of $20 fee (if able).  Registration for this event is required through Event Brite. Dr. Michael Cheng, a child and family psychiatrist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO, is an author, passionate speaker and advocate of attachment to people and nature.

Creative Arts Fair set for this Saturday STAFF

Events - This Saturday, Sept. 27 the Smiths Falls community will get its creative streak on in hopes of inspiring others to join them at the first ever creative arts fair. The upcoming creative arts fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Smiths Falls District Community Health Centre (2 Gould St.) and will provide an opportunity for the public to learn about what creative outlets are available in

their community and what support is out there be it lessons, mentorship or workshops. The goal of the day is to provide information to the public and not sell product. All participants will be included in an online directory (found on the council’s website - www.smithsfallsarts. com/arts). As the information fair grows annually, new participants will be added to the directory to provide a virtual go-to location for Smiths Falls residents look-

ing to tap into their creative side. “The community is enriched because we have creative artists in our midst. I wouldn’t like to think of our world without them,” said Lynda Daniluk, member of the Smiths Falls and District Arts and Culture Council who is hosting the event. “It’s a showcase of talent,” Daniluk added. “This is our way of celebrating culture.” The event falls on Culture Days.

The C 2014 United Way Lanark County Annual Fundraising Campaign underway!

Donations help United Way reach out to more in county News - United Way season is upon us and with it the opportunity to reach out to more residents of Smiths Falls and Lanark County, but they need your help to make it happen. The Smiths Falls campaign launch took place Sept. 23 at the Memorial Community Centre. “We’re looking to help 8,500 people next year,” confirmed Fraser Scantlebury, executive director of United Way. This goal would mean an increase of 500 people from last year and a total monetary fundraising goal of over $360,000. Scantlebury said the numbers could easily be higher when you

consider each person that is helped impacts another three. With that in mind “you’re almost over 50 per cent of people in Lanark County who are effected by services of the United Way,” Scantlebury said. The county-wide non-profit supports organizations in communities across the county and Smiths Falls from the Early Years Centre to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, to youth centres (Smiths Falls & District Club for Youth received $10,000 in 2014), and countless support services in the community. Helping the United Way maintain and enhance this local support is easy. Employees can sign up for payroll deduc-

The power of a smile

News - A fundraiser in Smiths Falls this week is asking residents for their smiles of support with no money attached. The #KissIPFGoodbye campaign is running this week in Smiths Falls and aids in the research of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease in which tissue deep in your lungs becomes thick and stiff, or scarred, over time. As the lung tissue thickens, your lungs can’t properly move oxygen into your bloodstream. As a result, your brain and other organs don’t get the oxygen they need. There is no cure for this condition and everyone’s experience with IPF is different. There will be #KissIPFGoodbye photo booths located at various locations in town throughout the week. Please join in and come have your picture taken in the Kiss IPF Goodbye picture frame. Have your picture posted on the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation website, watch and share a video with the #KissIPFGoodbye and Boehringer-Ingleheim will donate $5 every time this happens. The campaign continues this weekend at the County Fair Mall, 275 Brockville St., this Saturday, Sept. 27 from 10a.m.-2 p.m. and at the Rideau Winery, 22 Russell St., Sept. 28 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The funds raised will help bring awareness to this dreaded disease and aid in research funding. According to the Canadian Lung Association, research for effective drugs for IPF is ongoing. Although there are no current effective medical therapies, researchers are looking for new treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by conducting various clinical trials in Canada and around the world. While the long-term goal of IPF research is to prevent and cure the disease, current studies also attempt to slow disease progression, and to increase the life expectancy of patients with IPF.

Art show calls for artists Community - The Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls would like to invite area artists and artisans to participate in its 33rd annual art show and sale. This highly anticipated event will run daily from Nov. 9 to Dec. 21, in celebration of local artistry. For only a $35 registration fee artists can submit up to three pieces of work to the art show (some exceptions may apply). On your behalf, our museum staff will hang the work, look after any visitor queries and process the sales of your work during the exhibition. A 20 per cent commission will be charged. A new exciting feature will be a Christmas Artisan Market. This “pop-up” space will offer an opportunity to show and sell smaller artwork, handmade jewelry, pottery, cards, drawings, photographs or other crafts, with a retail value of less than $100. You can participate in the market exclusively, for $10 per table and 20 per cent commission from sales. Contact the museum today at: 613-283-6311 or email to: heritagehouse@smithsfalls.ca. The deadline to participate in the art show and/or Artisan Market is Oct. 6, 2014. Only paperwork is required at that time. Delivery of artwork is later in the month.

tion where an amount of your choosing is taken off your pay cheque to support the United Way. Scantlebury said anyone who signs up before the end of November will be entered into a draw to win one night’s stay at Almonte Riverside Inn & Kitchen in Almonte and one night at Fairwinds Country House Bed & Breakfast in Pakenham. A campaign-long raffle known as Champaign Flights, Dinners and Stays, has also been launched this year for the first time. The first place win will have a champaign flight for two in a Cessna Golden Eagle from the Smiths Falls Montague (Russ Beach) Airport to Kingston and back. Then the pair will enjoy a private tour of the Classic

Wings Museum at the airport. Second prize is a two-night stay at the Almonte Riverside Inn & Kitchen or a one-night stay at the Perth Manor Boutique Hotel. There is also four dinners for two certificates to The Masonry Restaurant and Market in Perth, Chuckles Jack in Smiths Falls and Asscher Cut Bistro in Carleton Place. Tickets are $10 each and are available from now until December with the draw in January. To purchase your tickets please stop by the United Way at 15 Bates Drive in Carleton Place, visit the Jewels stores in Smiths Falls or Perth or contact one of the member agencies. Fundraisers are taking place in support of the United Way throughout the cam-

paign period at member agencies and local hockey games. This year also marks the fifth and final year for My Town’s Got Talent. Auditions have been taking place across the county this week making the judges job to pick the competitors even harder. “We’ve had some really, really great talent,” Scantlebury said. Music marvel, Jordan McIntosh placed second in the first My Town’s Got Talent competition and has since moved on to a promising musical career. Please help the United Way of Lanark County continue their work in our communities.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Make it count Oct. 27

ditorial - Signs, signs everywhere are signs…They are popping up all over the landscape like dandelions in the spring. The 2014 municipal election is in full swing if you haven’t already guessed by candidates’ signs that are jockeying for positions on every corner of the map. Some signs are vibrant in colour, design and message, not to mention in size; others are plain and simple on a much smaller scale. No matter the size, or message, colour or non-colour, one thing is the same – keep it legal if you are campaigning. Many do not know there are legal ramifications about erecting election signs – the biggest infraction being permission. According to law enforcement agencies, as well as the Elections Act, there are several laws, rules and regulations to which to adhere. So before candidates go off on a whim, wielding a mallet and a truckload of signs, please make sure you have permission to do so, first of all. Contrary to popular belief, size doesn’t really matter when it comes to an election sign, just as long as it’s not more than 40-square feet. This will be an exciting year for voting and changes in the municipalities that this newspaper covers. There are several newcomers and veteran politicians out in full force soliciting your vote. This brings forward a new challenge in that we welcome letters to the editor, but not ones endorsing candidates. To be fair to all, we have been providing our readers with information about the various candidates in our readership area – some 500,000 people strong. In the next few weeks leading up to Election Day, Oct. 27, we will fill our pages with even more candidate profiles when space allows, then we will recap before voters go to the polls, just who is up for election… or re-election in some cases. Being prepared to vote is also an important issue. If you are 18 or older, a Canadian citizen, and you reside in one of these local municipalities, (and you’re not prohibited from voting under the Municipal Elections Act, or otherwise by law) then it’s your given right to cast a ballot. Ensure you’re on the voters’ list by calling your municipal office. In Merrickville-Wolford there is no longer an option for making changes to voter registration online or by phone or email. A resident has to go to the municipal office to check and see if they are on the voter’s list. This year, we can vote electronically – by Internet or by telephone in Montague, Perth, Tay Valley, MerrickvilleWolford, Mississippi Mills and North Grenville. There will no longer be a paper ballot in these first three municipalities. Be assured you will receive a voter information letter in October with a PIN number that will allow you to cast your ballot between Oct. 20 and 27 (available 24 hours a day). In Merrickville –Wolford the main lobby in their municipal building will be turned into an electronic voting station. Staff will be on hand to help any voters who need instruction. The station will be open from Oct. 20 to Oct. 27. In North Grenville, there is another option. Voters who wish to cast their vote using paper ballot may attend the voting location at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, 285 County Rd. 44, Kemptville, on Monday, Oct. 27 between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Note that North Grenville will also have an electronic voting station at their municipal centre and there are computers at the North Grenville Public Library. Electors in the Township of Lanark Highlands, Rideau Lakes and the Town of Smiths Falls will be voting by mail. A voting package that includes a ballot, a secrecy envelope and a return envelope along with a voter’s declaration will be mailed to you. For traditionalists in Beckwith Township, DrummondNorth Elmsley, the Town of Carleton Place and Westport, electors will be notified of polling stations in early October. Carleton Place will use electronic ballot counters to compile the vote on Election Night. To vote traditionally in these areas, you must attend your polling station on Oct. 27. An advance vote will be available in these areas as well. Contact your municipal office if you have not received your voting package by Sept. 30.

Remember When Community - The Russell Hotel was located at the north-west corner of Beckwith and Main streets in Smiths Falls. Originally built by Levis S. Wilson, this four-storey gem was known as the envy of area communities and could hold just over 200 people in its dining room. This photograph and more can be

seen as part of the Heritage House Museum’s From Negatives to Pixels exhibition, on now at 11 Old Sly’s Rd. in Smiths Falls. For details please call: 613-283-6311. If you have an old photo to share, please email our news editor, Laurie Weir, at ljweir@ metroland.com.

A sign of the times

pinion - I have to give a personal shout out to some local municipal election candidates for the added exercise over the last few weeks. I’ve been given the chance to stretch my legs and walk down to the corner of Lorne and Bourke streets where I have been trying to lovingly place election signs from this company’s property to across the street. I completely understand why they are there: the property is the most visible as you come up the street, but guys, seriously? We are a media outlet and so while we support the entire election process we can’t have election signs on our property. That goes for our personal property too (not that I’ve been asked, and thank you for that). The reason is simple: we as a company are going to be reporting on the election and covering the results as they roll in Oct. 27 so we have to be publicly objective. If we allowed signs we would have to require all candidates, whether their budgets allowed for it or not, to put up a sign. If we wanted to take it one step further the Smiths Falls office is the headquarters of Metroland East so one might say we should have signs from all eastern Ontario municipal races. I can see the lines of signs now one before

STACEY ROY For the Record

the other like a strange election graveyard. The issue of election signs, their placement and the reports of sign theft had our newsroom talking recently about what the value of election signs are in an age where social media provides a limitless amount of space for candidates to post their platforms. Right off the bat I thought of myself, who is connected to Facebook and other sites where I get valuable information on candidates, but then I thought of my grandmother and friends who choose to remove themselves from this type of communication and the relevance of election signs becomes murky. In this election I think the argument can be strongly made in favour of election signs, but it won’t be that way forever. In the end, this cost savings may open the door to other candidates putting their name into the race once they are confident they can reach voters on a free platform like social media. For now we are straddling both sides of the technological divide in the lead up to making

our election decisions Oct. 27. There is no doubt that I will mark my ballot with my picks for the horseshoe. I’m grateful that this is still an anonymous voting system and that I can still participate in it. Like many of my news colleagues I enjoy this season for so many reasons: an opportunity to speak to people and get a sense of their priorities and potentially the future direction of the community; a chance to feel like I have a direct impact on the decisions in my community and the excitement I always feel when something new begins. There’s so much opportunity that exists in municipal elections, particularly this year with a guarantee of three new faces on council (two councillors and a mayor). This election and every election is the public’s mechanism for giving direction to council over the next four years. To learn more about what local councillors are planning in Smiths Falls head down to the all candidates debate set for Sept. 30 (councillors) and Oct. 1 (mayors), 7 p.m. at the Legion. In Montague, this is Monday, Oct. 6, 7 to 10 p.m. at the Montague Centennial Hall. In Rideau Lakes Oct. 8 (councillors) and Oct. 9 (mayoral), 7 p.m. at the Lombardy Agricultural Hall.

With agreement from the Town of Smiths Falls, we have a solution to the user fee issue. Breakaway Ministries is expanding to three divisions: the Smiths Falls division, the Lanark division and the Leeds/Grenville division. Based on your address provided at registration you will be placed into the appropriate division. The Lanark and Leeds/Grenville divisions will be considered visiting players and thus not required to pay the additional user fee. So if you have not already registered and you still wish to participate for the coming year, please register on the website (http:breakawayministries. ca) Priority is given to returning players. We will

accept players in the age bracket of four-14. The group roster will be finalized in mid-September. We will hold spots for returning players until Sept. 19, after that date it will be a first come, first serve to all. Please feel free to pass this around as some folks email addresses may have changed. If you have already registered online there is no need to do it again. The cost should be the same as last year, $160 a child. We hope to be on the ice in mid-October, first ice date is still to be determined. Sincerely, Kendall Loewen on behalf of Breakaway Ministries/Christian Minor Hockey League

News - Smiths Falls has successfully come through the economic challenges of the last eight years and is now, according to councillor candidate, Chris Cummings, in a sound position to turn its focus in another direction. The two-term veteran councillor has walked these last eight years with the residents of Smiths Falls and says he is proud of the way the town has rebounded and grown despite the multiple economic crisis situations that have landed at its front door. “Everybody knew the challenges and everybody rolled up their sleeves and we’ve come out on top,” Cummings said. “Look at us now.” The local incumbent and professional banker has heard the concern over the town’s current $20 million debt load, but doesn’t share it. “I think we’re in a solid position,” he said. Cummings sees these dollars as a sound investment in the town’s future as it represents $100 million of infrastructure work that has put Smiths Falls far ahead of other communities when it comes to residential and commercial attraction. Further, he notes most of these dollars were spent during the 2006-2010 council term. Over his time on council Cummings has worked closely with town treasury staff on many items. Early on he realized the town needed to concentrate on improving our infrastructure to continue towards sustainability. Once council made borrowing decisions Cummings worked with staff to insure that we amortized the loans correctly and pushed to fix the borrowing rates for the length of the loan so the taxpayers would not be vulnerable to the potential of rising rates. “I also was concerned about over borrowing and I suggested to council

Chris Cummings has enjoyed his two previous terms on Smiths Falls council and hopes the community will allow him to continue to be part of the effort that brings the town forward. that we set a policy early on the current term on council to limit our annual payments to $2 million which is less then 50 per cent of the provincial recommended limit. Luckily everyone on council and staff agreed unanimously and we have stayed within this limit throughout the term,” Cummings said. Completing projects like the new water treatment plant not only provided better operating efficiencies and freed up more space in the system, but it checked off Cummings’ main focus when it comes to his role on council. He sees himself and his council colleagues as individuals all working to create a healthy and safe environment for taxpayers. “There’s no better asset that we have,” he said of the plant. Challenges in maintaining the infrastructure we have will continue to be a priority for Smiths Falls and all Cana-

dian municipalities in the coming term. To that end, Cummings would like to review the town’s 10-year road work plan as part of a series of internal reviews to make town hall work better. “We constantly have to look at it because things will change,” Cummings said. He said he would also like to see finalization of an organizational plan and municipal service review, which became delayed when top staff left the organization. Ultimately, Cummings would like to see business plans created by staff for the library, museums, child development centre and arena. “I’ve got great expectations for the people we’re hiring,” he said. This approach comes from his 30year career in banking where he continues to work with individuals and businesses on managing the present while planning for their future. He said he is glad he can bring this perspective to the council table along with the eight years of municipal experience he has gained. In that time Cummings has been proud to sit around the horseshoe and take part in the joint effort of making fact-based decisions for the town. Part of this process for Cummings is listening to the residents who regularly approach him with their take on items of interest or concern. “I need that feedback,” he said. Prior to accepting a chair on council, Cummings was at home on a variety of committees and organizations. He chaired the library board serving as project manager for the restoration effort, worked on the Friends of the Library, arena fundraising, Settlers’ Days and hospital redevelopment committees. He volunteered for 20 years with the local Kinsmen Club and was pleased to see the Kinsmen Pavilion at Lower Reach unveiled after so many years of effort.

Question 1: Can you give me a brief biography on yourself? Answer: I am a life-long resident of this township, which I deeply care about. I was a councillor in Bastard & South Burgess in 1990 to 1993. I ran for mayor in the last election to give people an option. I live in Newboyne with my wife, Shirley on the family farm. We have three sons: Jason 28, Edward 26 and Brandon 20. I also belong to Otter Masonic Lodge in Lombardy and the Tunis Shriners in Ottawa. I have continued my father’s business in heavy construction since I finished high school. Question 2: Why have you chosen to run in this year’s election? Answer: On a daily basis I see things happening in the (Rideau Lakes) township that do not lead to an effective result monetarily or managerially. I have also noticed in the last year that council as a whole has been lacking in motivation and fresh ideas. Question 3: Can you explain your top three priority issues you would like to work on if you are elected and why they are so important to you? Answer: 1) I find it strange that after 16 years of amalgamation the township still can’t transform itself from the separate townships

Question 5: Is there anything you would like voters to know before they go to the polls this fall? Answer: If I am elected as your mayor, I promise I will listen to your concerns and seek out responsible solutions. I look forward to seeing you in person and hopefully being your new mayor.

and villages to one core. By this I mean for example why so many councillors. The rational for allocating community halls, recreation areas, road department salt domes and dispatch locations must be done on an area catchment basis. The 911 address system is based on each separate township’s concept from 1992 with cottage roads not named or the same numbers. 2) I find that the planning section is too combative in nature. It is not in any way helpful with the residents that want to improve their property in the simplest of things. 3) Water quality. The one thing the new administration has to make clear is that no dumping of pollutants will be allowed by our township in our lakes and streams. To do so by another municipality, private business or landowner will be considered a criminal

act. Having said that, the new administration that I will chair will work hand-in-hand with Westport to secure funding for improvements to their sewage system provincially and federally. Due to the fact that the one thing that unites the township from Jones Falls to Smiths Falls is the Rideau River and its tributaries, we are dependent on the cottage assessment to fund our township expenditures. The one thing that I am hearing from the cottagers is that they are getting maxed out on their taxes that they have to pay. I think that if all the cottage owners have a combined voice at a council committee their concerns could be addressed there before going to council for action. Question 4: How do you see your community in the next 10 to 20 years? Answer: In the future I would like to see the township prosper so that everyone can have a job locally. To achieve this, new blood must come to council with fresh ideas to change the working policies of the planning and building department. It must work hand-in-hand with the taxpayers of the township.

All-terrain vehicle use on Leeds-Grenville roads defined in bylaw News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council meeting held on Thursday, Sept. 18. Counties council has passed a bylaw which specifies sections of Leeds Grenville roadways which can now be used by all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The Thousand Islands ATV Club requested approval for ATVs on portions of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville road system which connects up a series of private land trails that are being developed. The request was reviewed by the Committee of the Whole and input from Leeds County OPP officials was received. The sections of roadway where ATVs are allowed include: County Road 2 from Jenkins Road to Civic Address #1633 east of Mallorytown; County Road 34 from Kyes to Modler Road; County Road 34 from Haid to Lexx Road; County Road 32 one kilometre south and north of South Lake Culvert; County Road 3 from one kilometre south and north of the bridge at BlackBridge Rapids; County Road 3 from one kilometre north and south of Long Point Road; County Road 3 one kilometre north

and south of Outlet Road, and County Road 40 from Beales Road to the hamlet of Charleston. A previous bylaw was repealed. Two housing units designated as seniors only Counties council has approved a recommendation from the joint services committee of Leeds and Grenville to designate two social housing buildings as seniors-only facilities. A bylaw was passed Thursday has designated 80 Water Street, in Brockville, and 43 Centre Street, in Lansdowne, as seniors-only housing. The Housing Services Act (2012) allows for such a designation if supported by the population, future demographics, and demand in the local area. The Brockville and Lansdowne buildings were formerly “seniors only” until the 1990s. The United Counties reviewed the current public housing portfolio, non-profit housing mandates, and public housing of other consolidated municipal services managers in eastern Ontario. Reviews of the current composition of tenants and the applicants on the social housing waitlist were also completed. Following the analysis it was

determined these locations have a higher proportion of seniors already residing in the units and a significant number of seniors awaiting a unit at these locations. Seniors will be defined as 65 and older. Tenants under the age of 65 can continue to reside at the locations for the remainder of their tenures. Those wishing to relocate to a non-seniors building will not be charged a transfer fee.

The idea of a food hub in this area is supported within the Counties Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. A food hub ties in with the development of a Food Charter earlier this year.

News – Last summer, the environmental issues committee (EIC) of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) conducted a campaign to increase public awareness of the environmental damage caused by single-use plastic shopping bags. They were concerned about how in Canada alone, between nine and 15 billion shopping bags are generated every year. Most of those bags end up in landﬁlls, waterways and ﬁelds and cause great harm to wildlife over the many hundreds of years that it takes for these bags to break down. So EIC and MVFN decided to do something about it at the local level. Headed by EIC chairperson Theresa Peluso, MVFN members hosted information booths at various festivals and stores in Mississippi Mills to spread the word about how harmful these plastic bags are. They also asked the merchants in Almonte, Pakenham and Clayton about their awareness of the issue, their store policy about providing plastic bags and alternatives, as well as their ideas on how to reduce plastic bag consumption. Next, they got the youngsters involved by organizing a contest in local schools. The contest consisted of designing a poster illustrating the damage caused by plastic bags. The winning posters were then copied and distributed to nearly every store, municipal building and church in Mississippi Mills. For various reasons (small number of stores selling items requiring a bag, change in store personnel in past year), the follow-up survey was limited to data from 10 stores. For these 10 stores, there was a reduction of nearly 103,000 bags, which represents a decrease of about 19 per cent over the previous year. Last year, these same 10 stores reported using 539,850 plastic bags; this year, 437,070 bags. One merchant, on realizing how much was being spent on plastic bags, decided to sell cloth bags printed with the store’s logo with the provision that custom-

ers using the bags for their purchases would receive a discount on their purchases every time they used the bag. A few more stores now wait for the customer to request a plastic bag and promote the reuse of single-use plastic bags. MVFN attributes the decrease in plastic bag consumption in large part to their plastic bag reduction campaign held last year, including the impact of the student posters which were visible everywhere. Municipal initiatives, such as increasing waste diversion options, may have also contributed indirectly to the drop off in plastic bag use. MVFN and EIC extend many, many thanks (on behalf of the animals and plants that share this planet) to all the students who participated in the poster contest, to the merchants who are trying hard to reduce the use of plastic bags, and to the public who are changing their bag habits to help the natural environment. What can be done to reduce this number further? Using plant-based biodegradable plastic bags is a good option for situations where plastic bags are the best solution (e.g. for dog feces, litter, baked goods, and bulk food items). Putting up eye-catching signs to remind people to bring their own bags would help. Simply put, ways need to be found to encourage more people to develop the habit of always using alternatives to those throwaway bags. MVFN’s next objectives are to source low-cost plantbased biodegradable bags, as well as cloth bags that can be printed inexpensively with a store logo, for Mississippi Mills, to continue efforts to increase public awareness of the plastic bag issue and to get support from municipal councillors to reduce plastic bag consumption (perhaps by printing signs for stores to display). Reducing plastic bag consumption by nearly 19 per cent is a huge achievement – but perhaps Mississippi Mills residents can top that. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, your thoughts are spinning and it’s pretty difficult for you to get a hold of any one thing. Take a step back and try to clear your head before proceeding.

Libra, staying the course may be a challenge this week. You have too many things pulling you in different directions. But you’ll be successful if you can get a foothold in one thing.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, don’t let your nerves get the better of you this week. Find someone who can calm your nerves and help you realize you have nothing to be nervous about.

Work associates may not be holding up their end of the deal, Scorpio. You’re content to help out once in a while but not take on the work of everyone else.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, you have plenty of motivation to get a project started. All you need is some help to get things off the ground. Others will be inspired by your enthusiasm.

Use your charm to win someone over, Sagittarius. This is an influential person who will be good to have in your corner. You never know when you might need a good ally.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, others seem to spend time in the spotlight, but you’re more comfortable spending time in the shadows. Make the most of this time for quiet reflection.

Capricorn, if certain ideas didn’t work in the past, give them another try. All of the components may fall into place this time around, and you’ll like the results.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, you may be anxious to try a new hobby this week, but just don’t know which direction to go. Get some recommendations from friends about what keeps them busy.

Aquarius, the coming weeks may be ideal for some rest and relaxation. Plan for some downtime and make the most of this chance to recharge your batteries.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Sometimes it is difficult for you to talk about your feelings, Virgo. You want to present a brave front, but you’re only human and should let others in this week.

Pisces, expect things to flow much more smoothly this week than they have in recent weeks. You may find you have more free time.

Thank you to the staff at Lanark Lodge for their kind and loving care of Mom. Thanks to David Scotland and Roger Merkley at Scotland Funeral Home for ensuring that the arrangements were done professionally and with grace. Special thanks to Father DiRocco for his comforting words. It meant so much to see the CWL Honour Guard at the church and to hear the hymns that were dear to Mom being sung so beautifully by the choir. Thank you to Kevin Goligher for offering solace to our family by playing the bagpipes at the grave side. Mom wore her Scottish heritage proudly. The luncheon served by the Westport Legion was also much appreciated. Thank you to the pallbearers: nephews Dave Willis, Dave Craig, Doug Craig and grandchildren Teri Cota, Adam Cota and Nicole Bennett. Over the past few years, many neighbours were always there whenever help was needed, in particular, Ronnie, Dave, Roger and Julia who tended Mom’s flower beds. Sue brought sunshine into Mom’s last few months on the farm. Thanks again for all the kind thoughts, words and prayers from family, friends and neighbours. God bless you all.

Much loved father of Brad of Lanark, Kim Barr (Tom) of Lanark, Julie Nguyen (Thanh) of Thailand. Jim lives on in the hearts of his grandchildren Laura (Kyle Brownlee), Alyssa (Andrew Gow), Devin (Courtney Frank), and Maia Nguyen. Jim is survived by his brother Gerald of Smiths Falls. Jim was well known and respected in the Lanark area as a quiet hard working man. He loved the outdoors and all the nature that surrounded him. If you needed help with anything he was always there to lend a hand. Jim loved to work in the bush with his tractors, bulldozer, and most of all sawing lumber at his sawmill. We only needed to say we were thinking of building this and he would be there with the lumber saying, “Well, let’s get started”. The thing he was most proud of in his life though was his grandchildren, Laura, Alyssa, Devin, and Maia. A Celebration of Jim’s life will be held at the Lanark Timber Run Golf Club, 154 Caldwell Street Lanark, on Thursday September 25 at 10:00 am. Jim’s funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Perth 613-267-3082.

You can shed tears that he is gone, Or you can smile because he lived, You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. For all those who knew Jon, he would want us all to smile. Forever in our hearts, Mom and Herb Jason Jamie, Steff, Grady and Darren

a demand for locally-grown garlic, but only the occasional local grower in eastern Ontario. Thanks to the efforts of people like him, the Garlic Growers Association of Ontario now lists about 100 members. Yet, despite Canadians’ appetites for garlic and the movement across Canada to grow local, Pospisil says that still only five per cent of the garlic consumed in Canada is grown in this country. The rest, imported from China and Mexico, is chemically treated to preserve it for its long journey to Canadian supermarkets, and often bleached to make it look bright white. Pospisil describes the 200 varieties of garlic he’s tested as a drop in the bucket, given there are about 700 varieties of garlic cultivated around the world. He’s published

multiple reports on his findings and is proud to say that he has the only organic growing trials for garlic in Canada. His passion for garlic rests on its health benefits and medicinal properties. As well, chefs of all stripes prefer locally-grown garlic due to its more intense flavour and higher sugar content. You too can sound the depths of Pospisil’s knowledge on garlic growing and use at the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s Oct. 1 meeting at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall, 24 Water Street. Admission is free with membership or $5 for non-members. And rest assured – there will be no vampires in the house!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daffodil planting time in Rideau Lakes

Community - This is it; the last chance for Township of Rideau Lakes residents to plant daffodil bulbs in their bid to be named â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Daffodil Capital of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;? by 2015. While residents are encouraged to continue to plant bulbs every year, this is the autumn to make sure of a great showing of the golden flowers next spring. The Daffodil Project is a Townshipwide Beautification Committee initiative that began in 2010. Inspired by the residents of Freeland Road near Portland whose vision and hard work over many years has resulted in a hillside display each spring of thousands of blooms, local committees began purchasing and planting daffodils. Rideau Lakes residents have been planting bulbs each fall for the past five

years. Many residents of the township have purchased and planted hundreds of daffodils on their own properties and along fences at the side of the roads. Once planted, daffodils multiply and bloom year after year. Sunny locations are best, but daffodils can survive some shade. What they cannot survive is to be mown down before the leaves have had a chance to gather nourishment for the following year, so residents are encouraged to choose a location where they can be left alone. Daffodil bulbs are available for sale at many local retailers including Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Feed and The Ferry Garden, as well as at the Rideau Lakes Township Office. Submitted by the Township of Rideau Lakes.

Safety paramount during traffic stops News - One of the most dangerous parts of a police officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is traffic stops. There are many unknown variables both inside and outside of the vehicle as well the officer has to be aware of the traffic around the vehicle being stopped. This is one of the reasons why the Ontario Government enacted Section 159 (2) of the Highway Traffic Act to protect not only the police officer conducting a traffic stop but to protect the persons in and around the vehicle being stopped by the police. Slow down on approaching stopped emergency vehicles. Section 159(2) states that upon approaching an emergency vehicle with

Bears holding tough out of the blocks with a big three-point weekend Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Despite a feisty contest in Carleton Place with more than an hour in penalties combined, the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears held on for one point in a grueling 7-6 overtime loss to the Canadians in Central Canada Hockey League action Sunday afternoon in front of some 420 fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a normal Carleton Place/Smiths Falls kind of game,â&#x20AC;? said Walt Dubas, the Bears assistant coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would have loved to get the win, but getting here of four points over a weekend like we just had, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for this young team.â&#x20AC;? Dubas didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem too concerned about the penalties racked up by the Bears â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some 46 minutes on 11 infractions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which included a second-period scrap that saw referee Scott Loney on his toes with five misconducts to both teams. At that point, the Bears held a 4-2 lead heading into the second when Carleton Place tied the score with less than four minutes gone. Smiths Falls rallied back after the scuffle with two goals late in the period to take the lead, 6-4 with 2:57 left in the second period. Carleton Place made the power play count with a goal to end the period down by one. In the third frame, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the final minute that the game broke open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were 51 second away from the win,â&#x20AC;? Dubas said. That was when Andy Sturtz scored, unassisted with the extra attacker to force the overtime. It was Stephen Baylis, from Sturtz and Craig Pefley, who scored the game winner at 5:11 of the extra period. Adrian Clarke earned the win for Carleton Place with help from Guillaume Therien. The tag-team turned away 18 shots in the effort. Michael Pinios was in nets for Smiths Falls. Game stars were Sturtz and Baylis (one and three) for Carleton place and Taylor Henry for Smiths Falls. Scoring for Smiths Falls were Brandon

Lesway, Henry (with two), Michael McKenney, Nicolas Coates and Karson McCartney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys are consistent and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing well over longer periods,â&#x20AC;? Dubas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good challengeâ&#x20AC;Ś it shows our players to be at the top of their games.â&#x20AC;? The assistant coach added that the parity in the league is at its best this year with the Bears having five of their games decided in overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one is taking any team lightly,â&#x20AC;? he said. The team is heading in the right direction, he added, with good development, structure and ability leading the away. Speaking of leadership, captain Taylor Henry is showing heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cut out to carry the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the top line and with Neil Doef, Brandon Leasway and these guys are scoring the goals, Dubas noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing great leadership,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys showed a lot of moxie going into Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smaller rink and playing like they did.â&#x20AC;?

Smiths Falls 4 Cornwall 1 Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home game saw 520 fans in the barn to watch the Bears defeat the Cornwall Colts, 4-1. Goal tending was at its best through the first two periods as neither side could crack the goose egg. In the third, Cornwall scored 21 seconds into the period but that was all Pinios would allow as he earned the win turning away 23 shots to Denny Dubblestyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26 in the losing effort. Josh Leblanc, Cole Busschaert, Doef and Sebastien Barrette (empty netter) had the goals for the home team. Game stars were Doef and Pinios for Smiths Falls and Kevin Hope for Cornwall.

Coming up The Bears host the Pembroke Lumberkings on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. and they also host Sunday with the Ottawa Jr. Sens in town for a Tiffany Lepack/METROLAND 2 p.m. puck drop which will end the month of Smiths Falls Bears goalie Michael Pinios kicks the puck away, one of his 33 saves of the game September.

By donating $25 for every test drive during the event, which GMC then matched, and hosting a barbecue, the dealership raised over $2,800 for the local organization.

Rob Garvin and Hugh Colton of the Gerry Lowe Foundation (right) accept a donation of $4,117.73 from Mayor Dennis Staples and Coun. Jay Brennan Sept. 17. The funds represent half the proceeds from the Staplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Open golf tournament held last month in honour of the outgoing mayor. Brennan was one of the event organizers. The Smiths Falls Girls Hockey Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donation of $858.50 will aid the foundation in bringing this day closer to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to give back to the community that supports girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey and this is part of that,â&#x20AC;? said Shelley Nadeau, special events volunteer with the association. The funds were raised through a 50-50 draw at the Sept. 12 Ottawa 67â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-season game

in Smiths Falls. The association hopes to be able to incorporate the new rink into its 25th anniversary Cubtown Tournament coming up in February 2015. Once the rink is functioning the Gerry Lowe Foundation will turn its attention towards raising funds to purchase a chiller pad for the rink. This blanket-like product helps maintain the ice but comes at a significant expense.

Sports - The new outdoor rink at the corner of Cornelia and Elmsley streets is progressing at a rapid pace and will receive a donation by Mayor Dennis Staples from his summer golf tournament. A cheque for $4,117.73 was presented to Hugh Colton and Rob Garvin last week, two members of the Gerry Lowe Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks a lot, Dennis. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciated,â&#x20AC;? said Garvin, chair of the Gerry Lowe Foundation. The mayor has played hockey since his youth. Added to that is his close friendship with the late Gerry Lowe, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear to see why Staples put the new rink at the top of his list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one is near and dear to my heart,â&#x20AC;? Staples added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing for the youth in the community.â&#x20AC;? The bones of the outdoor rink are already in place with a poured concrete pad and electrical roughed in. Garvin confirmed the rink boards should be on site near the end of September for the twoand-a-half day build. They are also hoping to put in the lights, which are designed to focus their rays on the ice surface only. Wood is on site to complete the covered shelter where skaters can put on their equipment out of the wind. A ramp leading onto the rink for the machine that will clean the ice is also in the plans to be installed before the grand opening. Plans are still under way to have skaters on the surface this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get there as soon as we can,â&#x20AC;? Garvin pledged.

Experience Canada’s wilderness through pictures and song Sept. 27 in Almonte Rick Scholes

Community – On Saturday, Sept. 27, nature/wildlife photographer Bill Pratt and musician/composer Ian Douglas will team up to present Canada Wild at the Almonte Old Town Hall. The beauty of Canada’s wilderness will be celebrated in an evening of audio and visual entertainment. Photographs taken by Pratt in Algonquin Park, the Yukon, and across the Arctic will be presented in three ‘pieces’, each accompanied by an original musical score composed by Douglas, and performed live on stage by the Raintree Earth Ensemble. Pratt’s A/V shows date back to the 1990s when he became what he calls a “Canada promoter”, prompted largely by the 1995 Quebec referendum. He took a positive approach to national unity by capturing and sharing the beauty of our land. Since retirement from Parks Canada in 2010 he has pursued his passion for photography full time, approaching his second career with professional dedication and drive. The idea for Canada Wild was conceived a few years ago, although some of the seeds were sown as far back as childhood. Both men grew up in the “wilds” of Toronto and enjoyed summer adventures in Algonquin Park. “Returning from canoe trips, I always felt sad to leave such a beautiful place,” says Douglas. “The impressions from those trips have certainly stayed with me and so it’s very natural for me to write music for this sort of collaboration.” After meeting about ten years ago and discovering their mutual interests

Photos courtesy of Bill Pratt

Nature/wildlife photographer Bill Pratt and musician/composer Ian Douglas will team up to offer Canada Wild at the Almonte Old Town Hall this Saturday, Sept. 27. Pratt chose 300 photos he has taken on excursions over the past 15 years, including this one of snow-capped mountains (above), to be set to Douglas’ music. Right, another closeup image of a bird. and complementary talents, Douglas began recommending recorded music for Pratt to use in his A/V shows. This continued for many years until finally they realized that a more tailored approach would be both a challenge and a way to enhance their art. Pratt plans expeditions specifically to gather images from exotic and remote landscapes. These trips are usually solo, often involving chartered planes and helicopters and pre-dawn liftoffs to catch those evanescent moments at sunrise, for example. Such adventures come with a significant amount of discomfort and danger. To get a clean image, a photographer usually avoids shooting through a window. Imagine, then, your feelings whilst your pilot “Googles” the question of whether or not his plane can be safely flown with its door removed. Or your horror, after leaning out of the

banking plane’s door to get a shot, upon discovering that the banging noise you heard was your unbuckled seatbelt flapping against the side of the plane. At times, he has endured Arctic temperatures as low as -56°C. Camera batteries last about 10 minutes at that extreme. And it’s not possible to change batteries while wearing gloves – frostbite risk is all in a day’s work. Trips are expensive, so he will typically shoot over 1000 DSLR images per day. A three-week trip might yield 6,500 images processed from RAW to final form. Regarding the collaboration for this project, Douglas explains: “For a number of years, Bill and I have been working jointly to find soundtrack music for his slide shows. Last year, we decided it would be a creative challenge to compose and perform original music that was directly inspired by the images.”

Using sample images from previous shows, Douglas began to compose a score. Once a rough score was written, Pratt carefully selected 300 photos taken during various trips over the past 15 years. The two have jointly assembled the images into the equivalent of three coffee table books and figured out the full score requirements. Ian spent many more hours iteratively fine tuning the music at home at his piano. Finally they aligned the images with the score so that the musical and photographic emotions tell the same story. The results are exceptionally pleasing. Performing the music live on stage will be the Raintree Earth Ensemble, led by Douglas (piano, percussion), and including Steve Smith (cello), Kelly Sloan (voice), Neil Saungikar (hand-drums),

and Steve Reside (drums, percussion). The musicians have been chosen for their intuitive abilities, and so will augment the written score with inspiration from the images that unfold during the show. They will be positioned so that they can see the screen and be fully visible to the audience at the same time. The ensemble has been assembled specifically for this one-time event. “There will be lots of energy – the images and music will enhance each other. And it’s always been a Raintree theme to use images in our shows,” says Douglas. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m., with one intermission. The artists will briefly introduce each segment of the show. Tickets are $20 at raintreemusic.com.

Powerful performances keep Atom Egoyan thriller on track MOVIE: The Captive STARRING: Ryan Reynolds, Mireille Enos, Rosario Dawson, Scott Speedman, Alexia East and Kevin Durand DIRECTOR: Atom Egoyan RATING: 14A Opinion – Most psychological thrillers are fast paced in order to keep you at the height of tension. The Captive spans eight years as Atom Egoyan explores the trauma, suffering, and perseverance of his characters as they deal with an unimaginable horror. When she was eight Cass (Alexia East) was taken from the backseat of her father’s pickup truck. Matthew (Ryan Reynolds) had stopped at a truck stop after Cass’s skating practice. He was gone ﬁve minutes, but it was ﬁve minutes too long. Matthew and his wife Tina (Mireille Enos) are plunged into a

OVER

nightmare. The police, led by detectives Nicole (Rosario Dawson) and Jeffery (Scott Speedman), are searching, but they keep coming back to Matthew as the prime suspect. For eight years Matthew never stops looking. For eight years Nicole and Jeffery continue to investigate pedophile rings on the internet. For eight years Tina continues to hate and blame Matthew. For eight years Cass lives with her abductor, Mika (Kevin Durand), and for eight years he uses her to entice other children. The Captive takes the psychological thriller, and puts it on a slow boil for eight years. It’s eight years of anguish. It’s eight years of pain. It’s eight years of suffering, and Atom Egoyan explores every inch of it. He takes you inside this horror. He makes it real in a way that’s both

My Take MARK HASKINS

hard to watch, and fascinating. He does it by avoiding any graphic displays, and instead relies on the depth of emotion from his actors. In this regard The Captive is an incredible piece of movie making. However, Egoyan tells his story in a non-linear fashion. It jumps around from so many different points within those eight years it’s hard to know when things are happening in relation to other events. It can be effective to watch a story unfold from multiple points within the story, but in The Captive there

seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. It just seems like Egoyan is trying too hard to make his ﬁlm into art. As a collection of actors this cast is nothing short of brilliant. Egoyan relies on them to make the horror of this event real. He relies on them to make their characters seem like real people, and they succeed beyond any expectations. Scott Speedman, Mireille Enos, Rosario Dawson and Alexia East are fantastic. Kevin Durand proves himself to be a true chameleon as he becomes

this intelligent and creepy monster. Ryan Reynolds gives one of the best performances of his career. I was astounded by his portrayal, and found it remarkably convincing and incredibly powerful. The Captive has great performances. It’s a uniquely fascinating story. It’s ﬁlmed with such realism it almost borders on the surreal. Yet the manner in which it is told is bafﬂing. I’m all for art, but sometimes simpler is better. Mark Haskins’ column appears on a regular basis.

Anti-lock brakes, cross-country shipping and changing your mind Lifestyle – “Good morning, Brian! I’ve read your column for a while now and it suddenly dawned on me that I have had an automotive question that no one seems to be able to answer and that I should write to you. I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris and a while ago the brake light and ABS light went on. I had it checked at a Toyota dealer and they gave me a report that indicated I needed to replace the right hand side hub, bearing and wire. It would cost a little more than $500. I did a little research online and found others complaining about the same problem. They talked about a sensor that needed to be replaced. My question is – Is this an item that needs to be ﬁxed? What are the consequences of not ﬁxing it? Does it just disable the ABS system? Your thoughts would be extremely valuable to me. Thanks for your time and the important work that you do!” G With a defective wheel speed sensor (located in the hub/bearing assembly on your Yaris) and the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light on, your vehicle’s ABS system will not function as intended. It likely won’t operate at all in a panic stop when one or more wheels loose traction. This is a critical safety feature on

your vehicle and I would advise to get it repaired as soon as possible. “Hi Brian, I hope all’s well. A family member wants to purchase our Kia Rondo and have it shipped to their home – The Okanagan. They live in Penticton but Kelowna would work also. I have a concern about sale price, licensing and taxes in BC at time of licensing. What about certiﬁcation? I also am not sure of the best way to ship an auto-rail or truck and I hope you can give me some insight or refer me to a source of information. I realize this is not maintenance related but is auto related. Thanks in advance for your assistance.” G The vehicle will require a British Columbia safety standards inspection and registration in the BC provincial insurance plan and will be subject to BC tax. The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia has some great and easy to navigate information on this on their website at www.icbc.com. There are several auto carrier and shipping companies operating in Canada and all have websites where you can get quotes by email. Shipping by rail may take longer based on a carrier company having

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

to wait to accumulate a full load before getting their rail-carrier on the main track. Sending a vehicle by truck doesn’t present any greater or lesser risk. Based on destination fees I see here at work, I would expect something between $2,000 and $2,500, but use the shippers’ websites to get accurate figures. Depending on the value of the car, someone’s time and airline seat sales, it might be more cost effective to drive it out and fly back (and a great way to see the country to boot!) Change your mind? On my side of the service and parts counter we run into this scenario from time to time; a customer drops off their vehicle for a service and inspection for one or more specific symptoms. The technician completes the checkover, an estimate is prepared and the customer is contacted to review the required work and costs and to get authorization to proceed or not.

OPP reminds anglers to be safe this fall News – Duck hunters and anglers should take extra care in making sure they have all the proper boating safety equipment plus extra survival gear. Everyone needs to remember that lifejackets and other safety equipment are still required at all times when boating. More clothes and equipment in boats make it all that much more important to remember to have a lifejacket that will ﬁt over heavy clothing or better yet, wear a ﬂoater jacket or survival suit. Always tell someone where you will be going and when you are expected to be home. If you are going to be out before sunrise or after sunset make sure you have proper navigation lights as required by the Canada Shipping Act. Remember: every one requires proof of competency on board all motorized boats. Off-road and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) Safe riding rules to remember: • Always wear an approved helmet. Fluorescent orange helmets are available for hunters. • Never operate an ATV when consuming alcohol.

• Always read the instruction manual and follow manufacturer’s recommendations, i.e. Obey warning labels and stickers on the ATV. • ATVs are permitted on the shoulders of some approved roads; however, operators must possess a minimum G2M2 drivers licence and obey all the rules of the road and the Off Road Vehicles Act. Check with the local municipal ofﬁce or police to ensure what roads are approved. • Make sure your off-road vehicle is registered, plated and insured and you carry all the documents (driver’s licence and insurance must be originals). • If operating on an approved roadway, the speed limit for ATVs is 50 km/h where the speed for cars is over 50 km/h and 20 km/h for ATVs where the speed for cars is 50 km/h or less. • ATVs are motor vehicles and guns must be unloaded at all times when on them. • Passengers are not allowed on ATVs when operated on roads.

tering a warn on an approved screening device not only applies to motor vehicles, but all vessels and off-road vehicles as well. The best rule of thumb is if your operating any motor vehicle, vessel or off-road vehicle, don’t drink and drive. The penalties for registering a “warn” are: • First-time: three-day driver’s licence suspension • Second time: seven-day driver’s licence suspension and required to take remedial alcohol treatment program. • Third time: 30-day driver’s licence suspension, required to take remedial alcohol treatment program and have ignition interlock device attached to your vehicle for six months. If you are over the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol, police may suspend your driver’s licence for 90 days and you may face criminal charges. “Only you can ensure your own safety,” said chief superintendent Daniel Redmond, regional commander, East Region. “Make a plan before you go out and stick to it. Your family, friends and the police appreciate it.” The administrative driver’s Submitted by the Ontario licence suspension for regis- Provincial Police.

An approval is given, but an hour or more or less later, the client calls back stating they’ve changed their minds and don’t want to get anything done. In most cases the tech has already commenced disassembling the appropriate components and many customers are surprised and sometimes upset to learn that either the job must be completed as agreed to or at the least there will be labour charges to reassemble the vehicle. It’s understandable that customers are cautious when spending the kind of money that auto repairs sometime entail. And trying to budget household expenses and the costs of the family vehicle can be a challenge in most households. What might be helpful is to have a family discussion before taking the vehicle in for its appointment. Discuss what ﬁnances are available and who will make the decision and make sure this person’s contact information is given to the service counter person when the vehicle is dropped off. Don’t be shy about asking questions at the service counter. Most experienced personnel may be able to offer some ideas of what has to be done based on the age and mileage on the vehicle and its symptoms. It’s never a bad idea to ask what the ‘worst case’ scenario might be. If you know

a larger estimate might involve some time to make financial arrangements or further family conferences, let the shop know when you are presented with the estimate and they can put your vehicle on hold rather than waste time and your money in labour fees. There are certain Pandora’s boxes that can’t be put back together again. If a shop tells you your car’s engine or transmission must come out and be torn down to provide an estimate and you say yes, you’re pretty much committed to either fixing it or getting it back in a basket. When either of these major power-train components are completely disassembled they can’t be put back together without new gaskets and seals and in the case of a transmission that requires an overhaul, putting it back together without fixing it means it may not operate at all. As with most things in life, good communication can prevent and solve a lot of problems.

CDSBEO enrolment numbers increase despite provincial trend

Three-year mental health strategy The CDSBEO has developed a threeyear mental health strategy to establish mental health program priorities for students in the board. Developed in response to the Ministry of Education Mental Health Strategy template, which was distributed to Ontario school boards in December 2013, the plan includes priorities which have been identified by the board’s school

communities. An action plan, which outlines a timeline for the various activities or initiatives included in the plan, has also been developed as part of the strategy. Michelle Neville, mental health lead, presented information about the threeyear mental health strategy, which identifies building student resiliency as a key focus, to the board of trustees. “In developing the plan, the mental health lead was tasked with determining areas of strength in the board, as well as areas which must be given focus for improvement,” explained Neville. “As part of the template, the ministry provided ten conditions for effective school mental health, and asked boards to determine areas of strength and areas which required focus.” These conditions include: commitment, collaboration, shared language, clear and precise vision, school mental health leadership teams, assessment of initial capacity, standard processes, professional learning protocols, ongoing quality improvement, and a mental health strategy and action plan. Through resource mapping exercises, and consultation with members of the Board psychological team, principals, teachers, student support workers, and students themselves, it was determined that anxiety, depression and addiction concerns rank as the top three areas of consideration for students in the CDSBEO. For this reason, the focus throughout the three-year mental health strategy mainly targets these mental health needs, and strives to incorporate community partners as active participants in ensuring the success of the plan. A draft of the plan was sent to the ministry in March 2014, and a final version of the plan was submitted in July, following additional research which included focus groups with secondary students in all board high schools, and an in-depth review of the strategy by the board mental health team. A copy of the plan summary can be

Board graduation rates Each year, the Ministry of Education provides the board with annual Student Success Indicator Data. The data is collected through the Ontario School Information System (OnSIS), and helps to identify areas for success as well as areas where students may need support. The data is shared with school principals, who use it to help guide their school improvement plans, and to identify areas of need for teacher professional development. Superintendent of School Effectiveness, John Cameron, presented an overview of the ministry indicator data report to the board of trustees. The Ministry of Education provides annual graduation rates based on a four-year formula. The board is able to calculate an annual graduation rate based on data from our student information system. “The Ministry calculation is based on a four-year formula which includes students who have moved from the CDSBEO to another system, and did not graduate, as well as students who have left the province and are beyond our ability to track,” explained Cameron. “Our numbers consider the total number of students currently enrolled in grade 12 for that specific cohort, and does not include students who have left the CDSBEO and enrolled elsewhere.” Based on the CDSBEO data, the 2012-13 graduate outcome profile indicates that 92 per cent of learners achieved their Ontario Secondary School Diploma in four years, while

an additional 3.7 per cent achieved it in more than four years. A significant piece of the data includes accumulation rates. In the analysis of board and provincial credit accumulation for 2012-13, results are as follows: • Grade 9 students who attained eight or more credits – 95 per cent (province – 85 per cent) • Grade 10 students who attained 16 or more credits – 90 per cent (province – 78 per cent) • Grade 11 students who attained 23 or more credits – 89 per cent (province – 80 per cent) In addition, averages of credit accumulation are up, over time, for annual cohorts, and compulsory course pass rates, by course type, are also increasing for all levels of students in the CDSBEO, and continue to be above the provincial averages. “Our student success rates can be attributed to the Pathways programs,” noted Cameron. “This includes OYAP, dual credit programs, Specialist High Skills Major programs, and student success and special education tracking and monitoring.” Teachers and school teams closely follow at-risk students, and assistance is being given to these learners to ensure they attain their credits. Principals will continue to review the student success indicator data and graduation rates to help develop school improvement plans, and identify areas of need within the board.

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Sept. 16 at the board office in Kemptville. At a time when enrolment continues to decrease across the province, enrolment in the CDSBEO is healthy, and numbers have increased slightly. The board has more students than projected and enrolment is higher than last year.

1936 Plymouth sedan a delight to drive for Ontario couple Community – An email arrived recently from George Johnson of Wasaga Beach, Ontario: “Hi Bill: We just read your article about cars built between 1931 and 1941. My wife and I own a 1936 Plymouth P2 Deluxe four-door sedan. We have owned the car for about two weeks and we love it! It is for the most part all original on the outside and inside. There are a few missing parts, like wheel wrench, tire iron, etc.” I emailed George and Louise with a barrage of questions about this fabulous looking car and they replied: “We saw the Plymouth P2 Deluxe sedan two weeks ago for sale in Orillia, Ontario. We both loved the car, purchased the vehicle on the spot, and drove it home. We have the build card from the factory in Detroit. The car was built August 18, 1936 and delivered to a dealer named O. E. Stetler in York, D.C. We also have dealer brochures for 1936. “The car has original paint, original interior, all in very nice condition. We will be doing some restoration on all the rubber material and preservation of the rest of the vehicle. Some mechanical issues are evident and will be restored over the course of this winter. Both my Dad and my wife’s father had Cadillacs at one time, a 1949 and

a 1957 respectively. We were really looking for a Cadillac but that was not to be.” I asked George about the first cars he owned (a favourite question of mine): “No, the Plymouth is not my first old car. I had a 1952 Oldsmobile (that’s another story!) and also had a 1956 Ford Fairlane. After we were married, I acquired a 1949 Chev from a friend of mine.” As soon as I saw the photo of their 1936 Plymouth, I opened my copy of the “1942 Used Car Sales Handbook of Features.” This book was put out by GM of Canada for all its sales personnel all across Canada. All cars from 1935 to 1941 are listed (from Auburn to Willys) with specifications for each, and with Canadian prices when new. The Windsor factory list price for the 1936 Plymouth P2 Deluxe fourdoor sedan was $890, and Toronto delivered for $1,038. With the Johnsons’ 1936 Plymouth having been built in Detroit, the factory list price and retail price would be lower than in Canada. The Johnsons’ Plymouth has a flathead six cylinder engine with 201 cubic inches cranking out a very re- George and Louise Johnson with their newly acquired 1936 Plymouth Deluxe sedan.

…and many more!

Canadian actor Robert Bockstael appearing in Carleton Place Oct. 9 Community – Veteran Canadian actor Robert Bockstael will be appearing in Carleton Place on Thursday, Oct. 9. He will hold a question and answer session (a “tell all” about the world of TV and movies) at Temptations Magazine Store (117 Bridge Street) Start time is 7:30 p.m. Bockstael is the typical Canadian actor in the sense that you likely recognize his face (voice) but not his name. Over his 30-plus year career he has appeared in numerous TV shows, movies, radio dramas and stage performances. Included amongst this list are: TV shows such as North of 60, Wind At My Back, Our Hero, Street Legal, Forever Knight, Counterstrike, The Famous Jett Jackson and Nero Wolfe. Movies include: The Day Ronald Regan Was Shot (with Richard Dreyfus), the mini-series Trudeau, animated features such as Robocop, X-Men, Maxie’s World, The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, Super Mario Brothers, Dennis The Menace, Monster Force, Rupert The Bear and on and

on the list goes. Bockstael is appearing in Carleton Place at the request of longtime friend Lyle Dillabough. They met and became friends at Gloucester High School in Ottawa during the mid-70s and sometimes performed together in the Blue Ridge Waters country/rock band throughout eastern Ontario and western Quebec during that era. He went on to join the Great Canadian Theater Company in the early 80s and from there took on the world. Dillabough and Bockstael have remained close friends over the years in an unusual way. They have only seen each other once in the past 25 years (Halifax in 2006) but have maintained a close bond throughout the years. Both of their sons were born in 1996 (each with serious health issues right from birth that were overcome) and they have shared this and other bonds over time. “We all knew that Robbie was going to be an actor,” Dillabopugh recalls. “He could imitate anyone

(especially teachers) and made us laugh constantly. It’s funny how he went on to play so many bad guys when he was just so comical. Smart too, he was.” Bockstael’s appearance is the first of what organizers hope will be a monthly occurrence at Temptations; a “Once Month Club” (yet to be named) that is a joint effort by owner Alana Rockburne and former Brush Strokes owner Faye Lavergne. The idea is to bring people together to enjoy an interesting presentation, artistic performance, etc. and to share discussions, ideas and fellowship, as well as to raise some money for worthy causes. Admission is only $5 with the proceeds going towards Bockstael’s choice this time of the local autism support charity. This is a limited seating event therefore advance tickets will be available shortly. Those who want to avoid disappointment should pick theirs up early. Call 613-257-7406 for more information.

Corolla morphs into slightly larger and more muscular looking vehicle Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Toyota Corolla I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Kanata Toyota in Kanata. Since being introduced in 1966, Corolla has quickly become a force to be reckoned with, achieving the best selling nameplate in the world title in 1974. By July 2013, more than 40,000,000 of these compact sedans had been sold worldwide and in this country they are a perennial favourite consistently battling it out for the top spot in sales. In 2014 Toyota released its 11th generation of the Corolla and I had a chance recently to take out an ‘S’ model for a Saturday spin. The Corolla’s entry level CE trim starts out at $15,995. It’s also available

in LE, LE ECO, and S form. A fully loaded LE ECO with all the optionstops out at $27,291. My S level tester from Kanata Toyota came in at $22,100 with options. (All prices quoted come from Toyota Canada’s website and are listed before freight, dealer prep, license fees, taxes, or current incentives.) The room inside this compact sedan belies its classification as a small car. Front seat hip, head, and leg room are all better than expected and rear seat passengers won’t have the front seats anywhere near their knees unless some NBA guards driving and riding shotgun. Unlike many of today’s entries into this class Toyota has not scrimped on sound insulation materials and even though my S tester was riding on some fairly aggressive low-profile 17” performance tires, the road noise was subdued. Power comes from a 1.8 L four-cylinder dual overhead cam gasoline engine with variable valve timing putting out a respectable 132 hp. The transmission choice for the S level is either a manual six-speed or, as my tester was equipped with, a continuously variable transmission with paddle shifters. No worries about buzzing noise from this power plant, it was as quiet as a mouse. With the spot that the Corolla holds in its line up (Toyota wouldn’t necessarily call it a flagship, but it is the face of the company) tinkering with exterior styling is a risky business. The Corolla has morphed into a slightly larger and

more muscular looking vehicle, but the designers avoided the pitfalls of extreme curves and body lines that can drive away more customers than they attract. And of course with Corolla, even something as ethereal as styling must still

follow function, leaving great visibility and ease of operation with the mandate to outlast the car loan that ﬁnanced the purchase. On the road the Corolla is responsive, comfortable, and predictable. While some might think that steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters are a little much for an economy class leader, Toyota ﬁgures you might as well get some enjoyment out of the daily commute and have a vehicle at the end of the week that you still look forward to exploring the weekend with. Fuel economy is rated at 8.2 L/100 km city and 6.2 L/100 km highway (34

and 46 mpg respectively). The 50 L tank should deliver an operating range of over 625 km in mixed driving and run about $56 to ﬁll at $1.25/L. The folks at Kanata Toyota have welcomed a lot of new-to-Toyota customers buying the Corolla. As sales manager Dmitri Senkov puts it, “With its great sporty look and feel and with the latest technologies like LED headlights, backup camera, connectivity, etc., and an outstanding reliability record with great fuel economy, what’s not to like?”

A look at the new 2015 Toyota Corolla. This ‘S’ model is the 11th generation of the Corolla released by Toyota and features sleek lines as well as great function, good fuel economy. Submitted photo
