Vacant manufacturing plant goes to pot hsorour@perfprint.ca

News – The former Hershey plant is about to get a new lease on life, although it is an unusual one.

The plant, currently owned by ICON International, is being sold to Tweed Hershey Drive Inc. Its subsidiary, Tweed Inc., plans to start up a medicinal marijuana growing and distribution centre pending licensing from Health Canada.

“The regulations for medicinal marijuana production are changing,” explained Chuck Rifici, president and CEO of Tweed Inc. “The old regime is being phased out and a new system is being phased in. We are applying for a

licence under the new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulation (MMPR).”

What the new regulation does, is reduce the number of growers and producers and concentrates the production of pot into larger and more easily regulated operations.

“This is a step in the right direction,” said Smiths Falls Police Chief Robert Dowdall. “When Health Canada first started issuing growing licences there were only 500 licensed users. Now there are 30,000 and that number is expected to grow tenfold. Under the new system there would be a limited number of producers which makes it easier to regulate and will reduce the risk of exploi-

tation and abuse by the criminal element.”

From the get-go Rifici says the company will be hiring 20 fulltime employees and investing $1.5 million to retrofit the facility over and above the purchase price (undisclosed) of the plant and operating expenses. It will take a fair bit of work to meet the kinds of regulations Health Canada has set for the licensing.

All production has to be located indoors under stringent security.

“Once the plant is in full operation we expect to have 100 direct employees for customer service, operations including growing, trimming, processing, testing, packaging and distribution,” said Rifici.

Once production starts the As the new MMPR comes into effect, the old Marihuana company will sell directly to Medical Access Regulations users with valid Authorization will be phased out and autho- to Possess documents issued by rized users will no longer be able a doctor or nurse practitioner to grow their own unless they but they will also be required to can meet the requirements of the independently verify and docuMMPR. ment the authenticity of those “It’s being treated as a phar- authorizations.

News – An overwhelming outpouring of community support has been a guiding light for a Toledo-area family whose home was lost in an electrical fire on Saturday morning, Sept. 21.

The family of Todd and Tanya Bazilsky and their children TJ, 18, Destiny, 15 and Dennis, 7, as well Tanya’s mom, Bonnie Lytle, lost everything.

Five of the six pets the family owned, survived. They lost a 10-year-old cat.

Mutual aid Fire engulfed the home at 548 Country Road 29 at 7:51 a.m. Saturday morning, according to the ElizabethtownKitley Fire Department who received the call.

“The fire spread quite rapidly to the ceiling and into the attic,” said Chief Jim Donovan.

“We had a pumper on scene and four tankers as well as mutual aid from MerrickvilleWolford.”

he said.

“The guys did a really good knock-down on the fire, but this day and age, fire spreads more rapidly, especially with new furnishings and electronic equipment.”

The source of the fire was a power bar that was under a bed, with several devices plugged into it, said the fire chief.

It’s not the ideal place for a power bar, “especially with all kinds of things to add fuel to the fire so to speak,” noted the chief, like a box spring and mattress, or a wooden headboard and bed frame.

“We are 99.9 per cent sure that it was electrical, based on the burn patterns,” Donovan said.

Three of the family members were treated for minor smoke inhalation.

No insurance The family did not have structural or content insurance after being “dropped by State Farm” for making two other claims over the five years they’ve owned the property, said Todd Bazilsky.

CDSBEO develops bully prevention plan discipline, schools are instructed to respond to and deal with difficult behaviours by using a restorative approach, allowing students to understand the effect of their actions. The approach facilitates an environment where relationships can be repaired and rebuilt. Additional specialized student supports are put in place when a serious or repeated case may exist in order to stop bullying and student victimization.

The draft plan will be publicly available for consultation; any comments can be directed to Karen.Hogan@cdsbeo. on.ca.

Use of copyright-protected works for education The Copyright Act (R.S.C. 1985) is the federal statute that governs copyright law in Canada. The act is intended to balance the interests that people have in using copyright-protected works with the rights of creators to receive payment for the use of those works. On June 29, 2012, the act was amended with the passage of the Copyright Modernization Act. A key amendment was the expanded fair dealing provision to identify education as one of the eligible purposes for fair dealing.

The Ministry of Education has, in response, set out recommended guidelines to describe the conditions and limits of fair dealing for education, and by extension, the roles and responsibilities of school boards regarding the use of copyright-protected works in compliance with the copyright act.

Superintendent of school effectiveness, Charlotte Rouleau, outlined the guidelines for fair dealing provisions to the board of trustees. These guidelines permit the use of copyright-protected works without permission or payment of royalties. To qualify for fair dealing, the use of the work must be for the purpose stated in the copyright act: research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire, and parody. In addition, use of the copyright-protected work must be fair; this means that a teacher can make copies of short excerpts for each student in her or her class, however teachers cannot copy whole textbooks.

Examples of short excerpts include

a single article from a magazine, one chapter from a book, a newspaper article, or up to ten per cent of a copyrighted-protected work.

Compliance strategies have been created for school boards, and the fair dealing guidelines have been distributed to all CDSBEO teachers. In addition, copyright posters which summarize the fair dealing guidelines have been posted for educators at Board computers, work stations, and photocopiers.

Ontario EcoSchools certification Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental education and certification program for grades kindergarten to 12 that helps school communities develop both ecological literacy and environmental practices to become environmentally responsible citizens and reduce the ecological footprint of schools.

Schools may apply to be certified as an EcoSchool through an annual certification process which assesses and recognizes accomplishments awarding points in six key areas of achievement.

Curriculum consultant, Tanya Sesbreno, summarized the Ontario EcoSchools Certification Program for the board of trustees.

In order to become certified, schools must consider the certification guide, which provides a quick reference tool for the five steps to certification. The guide also provides tips for successful completion of the certification process.

Schools receive points for five areas of consideration which must be complete to obtain an EcoSchools certification.

These five areas include: teamwork and leadership, energy conservation, waste minimization, school ground greening, curriculum connections to the environment, and environmental stewardship.

Schools from the CDSBEO first began applying to become certified as an Ontario EcoSchool in 2009. That year, three elementary and three secondary schools became certified. Since then, applications from the board have grown exponentially each year.

Nine schools were certified in the 2010-11 school year, 15 the following year, and 17 in the 2012-13 school year.

Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular meeting held Sept. 17 at the board office in Kemptville.

A draft board bully prevention and intervention plan has been developed by the CDSBEO, in response to the Ministry of Education’s Policy Program Memorandum 144. Under this legislation, schools and school boards must provide students with the opportunity to learn and develop in a safe, inclusive, and accepting school climate. Research also indicates that early intervention is essential for both the victim of bullying and the child who bullies.

Superintendent of school effectiveness, Dr. Donaleen Hawes, presented an overview of the draft plan to the board of trustees. To develop the plan, the board is soliciting views from principals, staff, students, parents, community partners, and the special education advisory committee.

The plan focuses on building resiliency and using restorative practices for prevention, identifying targeted interventions, and providing specialized supports, including community mental health supports. Building resiliency and positive mental health is a central focus for the plan at the preventative stage. This approach is strengths based; encouraging students through positive supports which helps them to focus on developing their gifts. Resiliency surveys are used to help identify any students who may require additional supports to build resiliency.

School teams focus on developing empathy, understanding and effective skills by using early prevention strategies and programs such as Roots of Empathy and WITS (Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, Seek help) and various social justice initiatives. Proactive classroom circles are used to support the building of an environment that is positive and inclusive. While many students respond positively to the prevention programs and activities, some students require more targeted interventions and specialized programs.

Reinforced by the school code of conduct, and the use of progressive

Delta United congregation marks 185th anniversary Sept. 29 Events – Let’s celebrate!

On Sunday, Sept. 29, starting at 10:30 a.m. the Delta United congregation will celebrate three milestones in the life of their congregation with guest minister Rev. David Timpson and special music by the choir. Refreshments will follow the service.

The church celebrates 185 years having started as a Methodist congregation in 1828 with visits made by Saddle Bag Preachers out of Kingston.

In the beginning the first settlers would meet in each other’s homes or at the school house and possibly the mill but they also congregated in the Anglican Church sharing space with the Baptists. A few years later the Anglican Diocese purchased the building.

They celebrate 125 years in their current building that includes the bell tower, sanctuary and hall.

The Methodist congregation had built their first church in 1868 which in just 20 years they outgrew. In 1888, Beverley/Delta was a very prosperous community so the congregation managed to build their second church on land donated by the Russell family.

In 1925 the Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists amalgamated to form the United Church of Canada, hence changing the name, but nonetheless the people continued to congregate in the same building.

The celebration gives thanks to all who helped in any way with the renovations to the building. With fi-

nancial help from the federal government’s Community Infrastructure and Improvement Funding (CIIF) they have completed repairs/replacements to the main roof, installed an energy efficient propane furnace and a new hot water tank.

With other donations improvements were made to the hall.

The past is being celebrated with guest speaker Dr. Sandra Campbell, author of ‘Both Hands: A Life of Lorne Pierce of Ryerson Press’. Dr. Campbell will talk about the life of Lorne Pierce and his family who were prominent members of the community and the Methodist/United Church in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Copies of the book will be for sale and signed by the author.

New outlook, strong faith has given Lombardy man new lease on life

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Community – Caleb Robson’s positive attitude has made all the difference in his journey over the past few years. So has his faith.

The 52-year-old Lombardy man recently received a new kidney from his younger sister, Jodi, and he’s been chosen as this year’s Kidney Foundation ambassador.

“She’ll do anything to get under my skin,” Robson said

with a laugh. “That’s my little sister.”

Despite some medical setbacks – which Robson calls “little bumps” in the road – he says he’s chosen to look at the brighter side of things.

The once-active, 270-pound

man, who played hockey and many other sports, faithfully, but admitted his diet was a little too much on the fast-food side, dropped nearly 100 pounds on the road to a new kidney. Prior to his kidney operation, he had to go through a series of surgeries to remove various organs where tumors were growing.

A tumor was found on his pancreas in 2009, so out came his spleen and part of his pancreas. In 2011, he was diagnosed with diabetes, forcing him to take a look at his life and get into a healthy eating/ exercise routine. In short order, he’d dropped a significant amount of weight, all the while still ingesting medicinal cocktails to manage his creatinine level.

“I look at all the labels now,” he said of his food. “It’s something I can’t take lightly.”

But his kidneys were still failing, and even more so by the beginning of 2012 when he had to start dialysis.

Working an early shift at his job at Kia, Smiths Falls, where he is the parts manager, Robson was able to drive himself to Kingston for dialysis which took about six hours: four hours on dialysis and two hours of driving time.

“It made for really long days,” he said.

Then he was transferred to

the Perth and District Smiths Falls Hospital’s dialysis unit, where he met his new team of nurses and fellow patients, who became his friends and extended family.

“I can’t say enough about Debbie Hamilton (head dialysis nurse) and the girls – Darlene, Debbie, Shelley and Shelley, and Cindy… they’re all just amazing and very knowledgeable about diet and how to control fluid intake. Any questions I had, they were great to answer.”

Early this year, Robson had part of his stomach and colon removed because doctors found another tumour. He was diagnosed with cancer, a prognosis he lived with for about three months.

“It gets better,” he said, still smiling, as he related his story.

“I was supposed to get my kidney – my sister was tested and she was the first one too, and everything was good to go. Then the doctors told me I had cancer. So I had to wait to see how I going to go through treatment for that.”

That was in May this year… in June, he was told the growth that was removed from his stomach – along with part of his stomach, colon and now, gallbladder due to gallstone attacks he was suffering – was benign.

“We thought I had cancer,” he said. “But it turned out it wasn’t, so the kidney surgery could go ahead.”

The transplant happened in an Ottawa hospital on June 27.

His sister was in hospital for five days, Robson for six days.

But all is not yet rosy, in fact, Robson, despite his jovial outlook on life, has to be cautious of disease due to his compromised immune system.

“I have a surgical mask I need to wear in public so I don’t get sick,” he said. “I carry Purel (hand sanitizer) with me, but what else can I do but stay positive?”

Not only has he been under medical stress, but there has been stress at home too.

“We’ve had some financial difficulty, and had to put our house up for sale,” he said.

It’s a home that he built for his family of five: his wife, Susan; daughter Ashley, and sons Jacob and Connor.

“My wife is not too happy that we have to sell,” he said.

“But that’s not the important thing. A house is just a house… home is where we make it.”

New United Counties housing and homelessness plan approved ognized for service Warden Ron Holman and council congratulated Township of Athens mayor Herb Scott Sept.

19 for receiving a long-service award at the Eastern Ontario Municipal Conference in Kingston last week. Scott was recognized for his 25-plus years of service to his community.

Scott has served in municipal politics since 1982 when he was first elected as councillor for the Township of Rear of Yonge and Escott. Sitting council members encouraged him to run. He was elected reeve of Rear of Yonge and Escott in 1992. In 2001, following the amalgamation of municipalities, Scott became mayor of the Township of Athens.

He would later serve as a councillor for the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley before being re-elected as mayor in Athens in 2010. “I still enjoy the job,� Scott said, adding his interest is having the township and Counties running smoothly.

Scott attended the counties council meeting despite experiencing a large barn fire at his Athens family farm overnight.

The barn was destroyed along with thousands of bales of hay and straw.

Fortunately the family’s Holstein herd was not in the structure at the time. The Scott family has been farming in the Athens area Athens mayor Herb Scott rec- since 1950.

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council Meeting held Sept. 19 and the Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville on Sept. 18.

The Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville has approved a housing and homelessness plan which will now be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) for review.

The Housing Services Act of 2011 requires a 10-year plan.

Deborah Gill, Leeds and Grenville’s manager of housing, and a working group spend the last 18 months developing a plan for Leeds and Grenville. The group worked in consultation with the Housing Services Corporation, the Ontario Municipal Social Services Association, and the Ministry.

Three main goals have been identified. They include maintaining the current affordable services and housing, enhancing services to reflect the changing needs of the community and, thirdly, involving all stakeholders in the development and implementation of the housing plan.

The ministry’s review process takes 90 days.

Leeds Grenville staff will then review recommendations from the ministry early in 2014.

Miller Manor and The Maples water quality Operational and financial plans for Miller Manor in Mallorytown and The Maples in Spencerville were approved by the joint services committee on Sept. 18. The operational plan for each site describes the activities, personnel, policy and procedure, and responsibilities associated with operating and managing the well water system. Except for system-specific diagrams for each site, the plans and supporting procedures are the same.

Under the Quality Management System there are required internal and externals audits, a risk assessment of the waterworks, an emergency testing exercise, and infrastructure and management reviews.

A financial plan mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act has also been completed. Both plans will be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Monitoring and compliance activities are already in place and are funded through the Community and Social Services budget.

Miller Manor and The Maples are the only two properties within the Leeds Grenville public housing portfolio which have drinking water systems falling under the Drinking Water Quality Management Standard and developed by the Ministry of the Environment and Ontario’s water sector.

walk, starting from Crystal Palace, with registration at 9:45 a.m. In the past three years, this event has raised $28,000, said Bruce Hill, senior development manager with the Kidney Foundation of Canada, who looks after this area from his Ottawa office.

Money raised from this event goes into the national research fund, but locally, there are many programs and initiatives that are taking place, like a fun day, hosted in the spring at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club where 85 people were in attendance. “If we can bring a smile to someone’s face, then it was worth it,� Hill said. “Hosting

events where dialysis dependent people can have a little fun, dance, socialize, that’s a big thing.�

He also added that education is one of the top priorities, which includes alking to people about their personal history, family history, diets (which if kidney disease is prevalent, then a low sodium/salt/potassium diet is followed) and exercise. “Stats are pretty significant.

One in 10 people have kidney disease and may not even know it.�

For instance, in Smiths Falls with a population of about 9,000 people, 900 of whom could have kidney disease. In Perth, where there are about 6,000 people living, another

600 people may have kidney disease. That’s 1,500 people just in Perth and Smiths Falls alone. “There are five stages of kidney disease and the first four are silent,� Hill said. “You don’t know you have it until, bang, you’re on dialysis and your life has changed forever.�

The easiest way to see is through a blood test. “The next time you’re at your doctor, ask him to check your kidney function. It’s a simple blood test,� Hill said, whose own father succumbed to kidney disease.

People with diabetes are more susceptible to kidney disease, and people who have had a transplant are more susceptible to cancer, he said.

Take Back the Night march continues plight to end violence against women Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bridge Street in Carleton Place was an uplifting scene on the evening of Sept. 19 when dozens of local residents and politicians came together to put a stop to violence against women.

The occasion was Lanark County Interval Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (LCIH) seventh annual Take Back the Night march, which began in the park behind the Carleton Place Town Hall with a special ceremony to empower women who are victims of harassment, sexual abuse and assault.

LCIH provides residential and shelter programs as well as outreach services and transitional support to women and children throughout Lanark County who are the victims of violence.

Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc welcomed those gathered and remarked how she wished this event wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to take back the night and I wish that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case. I wish that there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any (of these events) and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to take back the night,â&#x20AC;? she stated.

She noted that Carleton Place is a safe community with strong police and protective services â&#x20AC;&#x153;yet why is it that women, and maybe men as well, feel uncomfortable walking the streets at night?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the mayor, I should feel safe and somehow itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engrained in me to walk quickly or look over my shoulder,â&#x20AC;? LeBlanc continued, adding that getting the message out that this is a safe community is about events such as Take Back the Night.

Other local politicians on hand during the evening were Carleton Place councillors Doug Black and Jerry Flynn, Beckwith deputy reeve Sharon Mousseau, Beckwith councillor Brian Dowdall, as well as Montague Township reeve and Lanark County warden, Bill Dobson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victimization against women must stop. It is a public health problem and a human rights issue, he said, urging people to step up and do their part to end the violence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;...If you see an incident, report it and make sure these incidents

are documented. We must change our environment to make our society equal for all genders.â&#x20AC;?

Dobson said every member of the community has an obligation to â&#x20AC;&#x153;do our part to slow this process down and try to stop it.â&#x20AC;? He also commended LCIH for the work they continue to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an emergency like any other emergency service and I appreciate the hard work that Interval House does,â&#x20AC;?

Dobson stated.

Victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words Providing a poignant moment prior to the start of the march, Tracy Kwissa, spoke to the audience about the experience of her daughter, Emily, who was unable to attend the event as she is away at college. Emily was sexually abused by her stepfather at a young age and has written a memoir, Am I Not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;...Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Emily) still very young at only 20-years-old but has lived and her story is not for the faint of heart,â&#x20AC;? Tracy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her stepfather began abusing her at three and before she was six-yearsold he raped her.â&#x20AC;?

On July 20, 2004, what Tracy calls her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independence Day,â&#x20AC;? she and her family packed up a few belongings and three dogs and left Colorado and her exhusband. She said the legal battle didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there and continues today. It has cost her thousands of dollars and â&#x20AC;&#x153;left us financially and emotionally bankrupt.â&#x20AC;?

The latest setback came recently when www.lulu.com, which had published I Am Not online, took it down after Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-husband claimed the book was full of lies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lulu gave up supporting otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free speech and sided with an abuser,â&#x20AC;? she commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given power to the abuser over the victim.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame and another example of injustice in our community,â&#x20AC;? noted LCIH executive director Erin Lee-Todd.

Tracy said this issue generated a lot of media and since then, I Am Not is back in print. She acknowledged the support of LCIH over the last 10 years since moving to the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;...Without them (LCIH), the battle to be free of our abuser would not have

been a victory,” she said.

Tracy then read a statement provided

by Emily, who said the cycle of sexual abuse needs to end.

“We’re taught not to wear short skirts, low-cut shirts, tight jeans and not to wear our hair in ponytails because people can grab it and also not to wear it down because it can be seen as sexual,” Emily wrote. “...We’re told all of this when most sexual assaults aren’t committed by strangers...The night does not belong to us, we are strangers in the night. We need to take back our bodies and our place in it.”

“Children should be able to go to bed without fearing the monster that lies, not in the closet, but outside their bedroom doors,” Emily continued. “Tonight, we do together what we’re too afraid to do alone...we are taking back the streets we have always been told were dangerous.”

Lee-Todd thanked people for attending the event, despite the fact that each year she hopes LCIH doesn’t have to hold the march. She said the organization will continue its work to speak up for victims such as 27-year-old Amy Paul, who was found dead in an Osgoode field last week.

“She was a sex worker. There was no press release about her missing...,” she

stated. “...We’re human beings first and Amy Paul deserves respect the same as everyone else, whether she was a sex worker or not.”

The same week Paul’s body was found, the Fallowfield train/bus tragedy also occurred and while Lee-Todd acknowledged the loss from that incident, “in a week from now, will we still be hearing about the bus accident, which was horrible and horrific? But do you think we’ll hear about Amy Paul? Think about that and what you’re going to do to make a difference.”

As Lee-Todd conducted a vigil and read names of women who lost their lives to due to violence, members of the crowd placed a rose in the Mississippi River to honour them. A rose was also cast into the water for Paul.

“Today that woman was Amy but tomorrow it could be me. Tomorrow it could be any of you,” she said. “It’s important to remember and reflect. It’s important to honour these women as we walk the street.”

The LCIH shelter remains full with a large waiting list, but Lee-Todd said that keeps her striving towards ending violence against women. She acknowledged the valuable partnerships LCIH has with the Ontario Provincial Police, local municipalities, as well as LGBT Lanark County, the HIV/AIDS Regional

Service and the Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence advisory, which have strengthened the organization.

“I want to assure you that despite what’s happening in this horrible world that tries to divide us, LCIH is standing strong...we’re going to be solid and we’re going to move on,” she continued.

“There is nothing that’s going to stop us in this community from ending violence against women. We will not be silent.

We will continue to take these risks for the flowers floating in the water and for those women I see tonight who I haven’t seen in ages and it’s so good to see.”

In the end, Lee-Todd issued a challenge to the community. If someone sees an incident taking place, report it and stand up to violence.

“Challenge yourself and your neighbours, because if you don’t challenge someone, we’ll keep putting flowers in the water,” she concluded.

Armed with special Take Back the Night cowbells, courtesy of gift bags provided by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Occasional Local, residents then took to the streets in a united chant. The group marched down Bridge Street from the town hall before turning around and ending back at Read’s Book Shop.

Eight weeks remaining in annual Canadian Aid for Chernobyl Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The countdown is onâ&#x20AC;Ś thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only eight weeks remaining in the Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Kingston areas.

Currently, 250 boxes are packed and ready to go.

Campaign coordinator, Colleen Gray, is anticipating another 300 to 500 boxes will arrive at the drop off locations over the next two months.

Gray stated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;typically we see a huge influx of filled boxes as well as bags of items arriving in the last two months of the campaign.â&#x20AC;?

The Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign is in its 11th year of service to seniors living in Chernobyl. The program, which operates under Canadian Aid for Chernobyl, provides basic hygiene items, small house-

hold items and a large dose of kindness to the neediest individuals. The seniors receiving these care packages live very lonely and isolated lives in a state of poverty.

The shoeboxes are hand-delivered to seniors on occasions such as birthdays, Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day, Invalidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day and special anniversaries.

They not only provide basic care items but bring home and joy into their lives.

Participants may fill a shoebox or drop off essential hygiene items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand and body cream, deodorant, combs, brushes, hand soap, shampoo, razors, etc.), at any of the locations.

Individuals are encouraged to fill just one box and together the goal can be reached.

Shoeboxes will be shipped to Chernobyl for distribution in early spring 2014.

Drop off locations are: LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office (Brockville); Community Home Support Lanark County (Smiths Falls and Perth); Kemptville and District Home Support Inc. (Kemptville); and any Community & Primary Health Care (CPHC) office.

Tax receipts will be issued for those who include their name, address and the original receipt(s).

Campaign completion date is Oct. 31, however donations of filled boxes, miscellaneous items and cash donations are also accepted throughout the year.

The workshop attracts dozens of lake associations and other volunteer stewardship groups from eastern Ontario as well as numerous government and non-government agencies.

Special thanks goes out to the Federation of Ontario Cottagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Associations for their continued generous support of this event. Please

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Conservative energy plan doesn’t make sense DEAR EDITOR: In his article on energy policy in the EMC Sept. 19, the Conservative MPP from Leeds- Grenville tells us to see the Tories affordable energy plan in their website. The so-called plan is not only not affordable, it does not make sense.

First of all, everybody knows that the cheapest and fastest way to produce energy is through conservation and there is not one word about conservation in their program. Secondly, the Tories state that nuclear will be the key future source of Ontario’s basic energy supply.

However, they want people to have a choice in their electricity

suppliers so we will all check off who our supplier will be when we receive our electricity bill. No nuclear company would spend billions of dollars building nuclear plants when it knows that nuclear power will be more expensive than renewable energy and there would be no customers for its power. This would mean that, under a Tory government, there would be electricity shortages and we would be at the mercy of other jurisdictions when we would have to purchase power from them.

COMMENTARY Find the stars in your community Editorials – On a regular basis, this newspaper profiles the positive contributions youth are making in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area and it’s time for those actions to be showcased on a broader scale.

It’s time once again to consider nominating a deserving youth for the 2013 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award, offered annually by the Ontario Community Newspaper Association (OCNA), of which this newspaper is a member, and sponsored by Direct Energy and TD Bank Group.

One doesn’t have to look far to see youth impacting their communities in inspiring ways. Take a look on the sports field, students helping out others in school or at church. Any resident of Ontario, aged six to 17 (who is six but no older than 17 by Nov. 30, 2013) can be nominated in four different categories, including: those involved in a worthwhile service; a young person who contributes to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation; kids who go above and beyond to make life better for others over and above what would normally be expected of them; and an individual who has done a heroic act over the past year.

According to the OCNA, up to 12 nominees will be chosen with the final recipients of the provincial award to appear at a gala in spring 2014.

Help us pay tribute to the youth who will shape our communities into the future. Youth nominated for the honour will be personally presented with a certificate of recognitions and their contributions will be showcased in this newspaper.

The deadline for nominations is Nov. 30. Forms are available online at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or by calling the OCNA at 905-639-8720 ext. 221.

Scratch proved her worth as a house cat on the farm Lifestyle – As far as Mother was concerned, there were no “ifs, ands, or buts” about it when it came to having pets in the house. They belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it.

The barn cats had litters, it seemed to me back then, every time the weather changed. And every time a new batch of kittens came on the scene, I begged Mother to let me keep at least one in the house for a pet.

I promised I would look after it.

It would never wander through the rooms, and I would feed it myself, so there would be no spots on the kitchen floor, which Mother kept as clean as a whistle.

“No cats in the house” she would say again!

And so I would have to play with them in the barns, where they were allowed to wander freely, some in the cow byre, some in the stable, and often one or two in where Father kept the sheep. I would make sure they all had fresh milk every day, and of course, I gave

them all names.

My brother Emerson said giving barn cats names was just about the craziest idea he ever heard of...especially when there were so many. I paid him no heed!

They came in all colours, but mostly they were grey or black with white spots. And then one batch produced one that was golden brown with white around its neck, and a pure white tail.

Emerson said it looked like its mother had been scared by a fox, whatever that meant. To me, it was the most beautiful kitten I had ever seen.

But it didn’t look like its mother had much love for it. To me it always seemed to be pushed aside, and away from the other kittens.

And it got thinner and thinner. Emerson said it wasn’t long for this world, and the best thing that could happen to it was to put it in a grain sack and take to the Bonnechere!

Needless to say that sent me into fits of crying and I begged Mother to let me keep it in the house until it had grown a bit. I even promised to Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

knit an extra dishcloth without being asked, a task I likened to cleaning the outhouse!

Finally, Mother relented. It would have to be kept in a box at night. I would have to take it outside to “do its business”, and it would only be in the house until it was able to fend for itself out in the barn.

I was so happy, and that night I printed in my diary that for the first time ever, I was allowed to have a baby kitten in the house!

I called it Scratch...because it loved to scratch on the side of the cardboard box which was its home through the night. And it grew and flourished. How Scratch grew! And every day Mother would warn me

that soon it would have to join the other cats in the barn.

The litter was born early in the fall, and as the nights got colder, I was eternally grateful that Scratch was in a warm spot to sleep. Just before I went to bed every night I took Scratch outside and then put her into the cardboard box. She was growing so fast with my tender love and care that soon she would outgrow her night bed.

And then one morning, even before I was out of bed, I heard Mother let a scream out of her that I was sure could be heard across the 20acre field.

I tore downstairs, not knowing what to expect. And there was Scratch, sound asleep outside the box, and beside her, half mutilated, were two very dead mice!

Now, if there was anything Mother hated more than the common house fly or pet animals in the house, it was a mouse! She was sure they carried germs. It wasn’t so much that she was afraid of them; it was just that she thought they

were just about the dirtiest critters on earth! And there was little hope of keeping them out of the house, in spite of the countless traps spaced around the floor.

Well, it was obvious how the mice had come to meet their maker.

Scratch had done them in, that was obvious. And that’s what changed Mother’s mind about having a pet in the house!

Scratch, as long as she was ‘earning her keep’ was allowed to spend the nights in the cardboard box in the kitchen. She spent most of the winter there, that year. But the day came when Scratch herself wanted to be out in the barns. She had grown full size, and remained the only cat with the odd colouring, and she sneaked around unheard and ignored the other cats completely.

And when I saw that she much preferred the hen house over the cow byre, I wondered if there was more truth than poetry to what Emerson claimed...maybe there was a bit of fox-blood running through her veins.

Community – The good folks at Temple’s Sugar Bush are throwing a Halloween Party, and you are invited!

On Friday, Oct. 25, Temple’s will be hosting a masquerade ball, hypnosis show and dance, featuring Temple’s fabulous cuisine in the form of appetizers and a gourmet late night buffet.

The party will get underway at 7 p.m. with passed canapés and appetizers, and a fully licenced cash bar.

At 8 p.m., Trevour Strudwick, known as “the Great Canadian Hypnotist” will take the stage for a full-length hypnotist presentation, featuring members of the audience!

Watch your friends and neighbours become the show, as Strudwick puts his volunteers in a trance, and asks them to do fun and embarrassing things!

Strudwick will also be offering tarot card readings after the show in the front loft.

Following the show, TUNZ DJ will be lighting the dance floor lights and spinning rock and roll records for the dance part

If you’re considering buying a work vehicle, your dealer is a good place to begin for more information. Iff you live in the Ottawa area, Smiths Equipment Centre offers a variety of ATV and UTV models. They also work with a wide range off other equipment and implements.

Temple’s Sugar Bush hosts hypnotist show and dance Oct. 25

Among the advantages of quads are their cargo-towing capacity and the fact that they tend to be lighter weight and more agile than UTVs, which translates into less of an impact on lawns and other terrain. ATVs are also generally less expensive than UTVs. Their limitations however, lie in the fact that most are intended for one driver, though two-person models are available, and that they provide limited space for carrying cargo.

If you’re looking for a vehicle for a specific task, UTVs are a good choice because of the large number of implements and attachments available.

or tow. They’ve usually got a rear cargo hold which means that trailers are not necessary to carry additional equipment. In general, they are bigger, sturdier machines, and there’s room for a passenger to ride comfortably alongside the driver. UTVs also offer safety features that ATV models lack, including rollover enclosures and seatbelts.

Work vehicles fall under two categories—All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs) or side-by-sides. ATVs were the first to come onto the market. Also known as quads, they come in 2WD and 4WD models, and offer a range of options including electronic power steering (EPS), front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, and electronic fuel injection (EFI), to name a few.

Community bands together for teen left paralyzed following car accident Community – A recent accident involving a young man who resides in the community of Seeley’s Bay has impacted many and reminds us how quickly life can throw us a curve ball and the importance of banding together and helping those in need.

Zach Elliott had just turned 18 and was graduating from Rideau District High School with a dream of becoming a commercial pilot, and on June 13, he was involved in a tragic car accident and has been left paralyzed from the waist down.

There will be a community event on Oct. 12 where a dance, complete with a live and silent auction will take place to help raise funds needed to help Elliott and his family on his road to recovery.

Elliott is well known in the area. To many he may only be known as the extremely tall, polite, young lad with a big smile who has worked behind the meat counter at the local store for the last three years.

However there is so much more to Elliott.

He was an honor student at Rideau District High School in Elgin, he had a love for music early on and played the drums and guitar in a band with several other local young lads from high school. His

Zach Elliott love for music was carried on when he joined the Shiloh Church and started playing at services. But for those of us that know him best it was his sense of family, and his love of flying that he learned from his grandfather.

Before getting his driver’s license at age 16, Elliott had already accomplished something that many of us would never be able to do; he clocked enough flying hours and got his recreational pilot’s license. Then in April, 2013, while still 17-years-old, he obtained his private pilot’s license. Prior to the accident he had just started working at the Kingston Airport as the line crew and he had done some aerial photography for the Kingston Fun Flyers.

Elliott is a determined young man and an inspiration for many, his faith keeps him strong and he hopes if possible to be the first paraplegic commercial pilot in Canada.

The community of Seeley’s Bay wants to stand behind this young man and help reach his goal. Currently Elliott is in Saint Mary’s of the Lake rehabilitation hospital in Kingston and will be faced with months of hard work before being able to come home and regain his life. He and his family will require assistance with this and our goal as a community is to help offset any additional costs the Elliotts will have.

Organizers of the event are asking local businesses, and community members for your support to help make this event a success, donations of new auction able items/services or cash will help make this happen. Donations for this event can be given to any member of the organizing committee and should be made by Oct. 5.

For more information or to make a donation email Jan Holland at holland@bell. net or call 613-387-3750 or Nicole Peters at petersn@ outlook.com or call 613-9290042.

Canadian Cancer Society introduces $100 cost for transportation service News – To meet the challenge of growing demand and rising costs, the Canadian Cancer Society will begin charging a $100 registration fee for new patients in Ontario who register with the Society’s transportation service after Oct. 1.

Since the 1950s, the Society has provided transportation to patients in Ontario who have no other way of getting to cancer treatment. The one-time registration fee will apply to new patients only and will help ensure the Society is able to continue helping patients with rides.

The decision was made based on the changing landscape of cancer. Ontario’s population is growing and aging, which means that the number of new cancer cases continues to rise and with it, the number of patients needing help to get to treatment. The price of gas and other costs have risen significantly over the years while the need for transportation grows.

“The Canadian Cancer Society is committed to providing transportation but the service is expensive — we spend more than $6 million a year on the program and we’ve seen almost a 20 per cent increase in the number of patients needing rides in one year alone,” says

Tanya Nixon, Senior Manager, Transportation, Canadian Cancer Society. “This was a difficult but necessary decision to ensure the future of our transportation service so that we can continue to help cancer patients get to treatment.”

“More people than ever need our transportation service,” says Nixon. “In addition, we are challenged by an environment in which resources have become scarce both in terms of fundraising and volunteer recruitment.

Like all charities, we must make our dollars go further.”

John Buchan of Penetanguishene is a volunteer driver who has been driving patients from all over Simcoe County to and from appointments in Toronto, Barrie, Orillia and elsewhere for 10 years.

“Cancer patients and their families are already dealing with a lot of stress without worrying how they’re going to get to and from their treatments.

As a driver, I know how vital this program is for helping patients who have no other way to get to appointments,” says Buchan, who is also a member of the Society’s provincial Transportation Steering Committee.

“I support this registration fee because it means we’ll be able

to continue helping cancer patients with rides now and in the future.”

The transportation service is offered province-wide and meets the needs of all kinds of patients who have any type of cancer and a range of treatment needs of varying duration.

Some patients have no access to public transit and no other means of getting to treatment and many find the cost of alternative transportation, such as taxis, and parking prohibitive.

Typically, a registered patient uses the Society’s transportation service 10 to 17 times on one-way trips during the course of their treatment.

New patients who may face financial hardship may be eligible for assistance through our compassionate program. The Society is committed to ensuring that no patient is denied a ride due to their inability to pay the entire registration fee.

Last year volunteer drivers helped 15,500 patients in Ontario and drove more than 12 million kilometres, a distance that is equivalent to driving around the world almost 300 times.

For more information about the change to the transportation program, visit Frequently Asked Questions on cancer.ca.

Tips to effectively close up cottage for the season Housing starts for August up slightly over last year Lifestyle – When it comes to closing up the cottage, every cottage owner has their own checklist and methods but it’s useful to review some best practises and perhaps add a few additional tasks to your to-do list to make sure that next spring, there aren’t any unwelcome surprises.

In Canada, the top causes of cottage damage are wind and water.

Fortunately, the risk of damage can be reduced by taking a few simple steps at the end of the season.

“There are a few main areas to focus on when closing up the cottage before an Ontario winter hits,” says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association.

“By tailoring your to-do list to take care of the most important areas first, you will be well on your way to ensuring a smooth winter and an easier time, come spring,” adds Dorner.

Here are the most important tasks to take care of at the cottage this fall: • Drain the pipes: Make sure all water is removed by opening all taps

and valves. If your cottage is not winterized, the Canada Safety Council recommends filling supply pipes with non-toxic anti-freeze and wrapping pipes at key junction points to help protect against the cold.

• Inspect your roof: A leaky roof can cause a lot of water-damage. Replace any missing or broken shingles.

Make sure trees are trimmed so that wind and snow do not cause them to damage your cottage.

• Electricity: If shutting the electricity off completely, Hydro One recommends turning off all appliances, the water heater and electrical room heaters before turning off the main switch at the electrical panel.

If leaving your electricity on (for a security system or lighting) turn off the power supply to your major appliances at your main panel and shut off the power to any space heaters.

• Fireplace and woodstove: Make sure your fireplace damper is closed to prevent animals from getting in.

Block off the flues, stovepipes and chimneys. Chimneys from fireplaces

or woodstoves should be professionally checked to ensure they don’t have hazardous amounts of creosote.

• Empty refrigerator and cupboards: Clean and defrost the fridge, leaving the door open to keep it fresh.

Pack up the cupboards, including dry food and canned goods.

• Walk through: Make sure that all utilities and appliances are unplugged and any potential fire hazards are removed (old newspapers, chemicals, etc.)

“Once you’ve taken care of the most important tasks, you will be able to turn your attention to the remaining cleaning and packing up, and of course the final goodbye,” says Dorner.

If possible, have a neighbour or friend check up on your place periodically throughout the winter, this will provide some additional peace of mind.

Lifestyle – Housing starts in the Ontario region were trending at 59,187 units in August, compared to 58,292 in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates of housing starts.

“The trend in Ontario new home construction edged higher for a second consecutive month in Ontario – stabilizing in the 55,000 to 60,000 SAAR starts range in recent months. Stability in resale market conditions very early this year combined with a gradual improvement in the job market has halted the slide in residential starts witnessed between the spring of last year and spring of 2013,” said Ted Tsiakopoulos, CMHC’s Ontario regional economist.

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some sit-

uations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 67,767 units in August, up from 59,372 units in July. Row and backlog of apartment units breaking ground boosted activity while single and semi detached construction eased in August. Growth in construction was broad based with communities in and outside of the greater Toronto area posting increases. For the year ending August, Ontario urban starts are down 26 per cent from this time last year.

As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. Follow CMHC on Twitter @ CMHC.ca.

was seven and his father later married Ruth Crawford Seeger, a now recognized, notable modernist composer and also a lover of folk music. Music was a staple in the Seeger home as Pete’s four stepsiblings from his father’s second marriage all went on to also become folk musicians including Peggy, who was married for many years to British folk singer/activist Ewan MacColl (writer of ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’). Pete’s stepbrother Mike Seeger went on to form the New Lost City Ramblers.

From these early musical beginnings Pete first learned the ukelele by himself and began entertaining community and his classmates with popular songs of the day and traditional folk tunes.

In 1936, Pete, while travelling with his father and stepmother chanced on the Mountain Dance & Folk Festival outside Asheville, North Carolina where he heard the five-string banjo for the first time and the family later acknowledged this time as their “conversion experience” to folk styles of music.

It was here Seeger apparently first picked up his early beginnings of learning the five-string banjo from festival organizer Bascom Lunsford and, in the fall, taking one with him when he headed off to Harvard on a scholarship. That banjo would become often his instrument of choice later, wherever he played; so often for little money, at rallies, community meetings, across the country for one of his many admirable causes.

By 1948, he’d developed his own banjo that had an extra long neck, longer than a bass guitar by three frets which would become known as the Seeger banjo. It wasn’t until the late ‘50s that he started accompanying himself with the 12-string guitar. Pete’s skilled himself in the conscientious use of music to empower, encourage, enlighten and remind us of our past.

We must remember he became quite involved in folk music at a time when folk music found a voice within politics, especially around the ideology – exploring university campuses. Pete gradually became active, joining the Young Communist League prior to the Second World War. His marks suffering, he lost his scholarship, dropping out in 1938. He’d developed a real knack for performing with that ukelele which he further polished via a summer job touring New York State with the Vagabond Puppeteers. Through the summer’s travel, shared meals and ongoing discussions with the rural families they’d play for, Pete’s commitment to activism was further nurtured, recognizing and learning to exploit his gifts of utilizing music in creative ways to promote solidarity as a mighty power for the common man, whether through unions, ra-

cial equality marches, parades or anti-war activities; organizing to bring about equality.

Through his father’s contact he got a job in Washington, DC with Alan Lomax who was assistant in charge of the Archive of American Folk Song for the Library of Congress. Lomax had previously travelled with his father John Lomax, taking some primitive recording equipment into the fields and across the country to record what were then called “race” and “hillbilly” types of music for archive purposes. Now known as the ‘Field Recordings’ they brought musicians like Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, and Jelly Roll Morton to the American public, many becoming great blues, jazz and folk players of their country.

Alan had a radio show ‘Back Where I Come From’ and encouraged Pete to perform, joining musicians like Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Burl Ives and Josh White in the then unique, racially integrated cast. This was during the Second World War. Their show once performed a command performance at the White House in 1941, arranged

by Eleanor Roosevelt, entitled ‘An Evening of Songs for American Soldiers’. Hard to believe today but, due to the integrated cast it was not aired nationally.

Pete’s activism further evolved into The Almanac Singers, which Seeger co-founded in 1941 with Millard Lampell and Arkansas singer and activist Lee Hays. They were a topical group, designed to function as a singing newspaper, promoting the industrial unionization movement, racial and religious inclusion as well as other progressive causes. Its personnel included, at various times: Woody Guthrie, Bess Lomax Hawes, Sis Cunningham, Josh White and Sam Gary.

As a controversial Almanac singer, the 21-year-old Seeger performed under the stage name Pete Bowers to avoid compromising his father’s government career.

Due to their political leanings, the Almanac Singers were eventually blacklisted and through fear of retribution, presenters refused to hire them. Pete took to the rails for a while with Woody Guthrie, learning firsthand the plight of the migrant workers in California and the south where he lent his musical support wherever possible and has continued to do so, ever since.

Pete was in the US Army first as an aircraft mechanic and later as performer for the troops.

In 1950 the Almanac Singers were reformed as The Weavers and had a string of hits on the popular hit parade such as ‘On Top of Old Smokey’ – a Lead Belly song, ‘Goodnight Irene’, which was 13 weeks at number one, ‘So Long, Been Good to Know You’ (Woody Guthrie), ‘Kisses Sweeter Than

Wine’ and ‘Wimoweh’, to name a few. They were playing the best halls and clubs until 1953 when they were blacklisted, due to the infamous MacCarthy era. A reunion was chanced in 1955 to what turned out to be a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall and a tour where concerts were recorded and large sales realized. Pete says he broke company with The Weavers because the rest were willing to sign with a tobacco sponsor and out of principle, Pete refused.

I could go on for days with various stories about this remarkable man. He built his family’s own log home in the woods of upper New York State and for quite a long time had no hydro, running water or phone...an early hippy. He reemerged in the ‘60s as a protest singer, utilizing his songs such as ‘Where Have All the Flowers Gone’ or ‘If I Had a Hammer’, these songs copied and made famous by many other musicians.

He was seen in the movie of 2007 still cutting and splitting his own firewood. He acknowledges it was only his wife’s ongoing support that allowed him to carry on. His activism has not stopped. He was a long time supporter and promoter of the now successful clean up of the Hudson River called the Clearwater Project.

Through a long range vision of utilizing a large sailing ship that would sail up and down the Hudson, teach students, fundraise, they connected enough caring people to make enough noise to cause congress to pass laws, all for the importance of clean water. In the film, he explains his changing the word ‘will’ from the original spiritual to the more sing-able ‘shall’ in one of his most heard songs, ‘We Shall Overcome’. The power of song carries on and at 94, Pete’s still getting his message out there.

In October 2011, he helped with an Occupy Wall Street march. This Grammy Award winner just keeps going. Check him out. Pete Seeger inspires and humbles me.

Lifestyle – I just got back from visiting my folks, just outside Orillia. They’re 88 years young now and still able to help one another live in their own home so I try to get over to spend a few days with them each month to hopefully brighten their day, take them where they need to go and share those family stories you never quite got around to before.

We are blessed to have my sister Jan and family living close to them to provide lots of support. This article was hatched there as my Dad usually has some favourite music on and one day it was a wonderful CD my brother Drew had compiled for them of Pete Seeger music. It reminded me of the many stories I’d read of Seeger over the years and the tremendous respect I’d developed for this principled, ‘Renaissance’ man – musician, songwriter, activist, now 94, widowed this summer, losing Toshi after 70 years of marriage.

Again, thanks to our family musicologist, my brother Drew, my folks and I pulled out and watched a wonderful DVD called ‘Pete Seeger – The Power of Song’ (2007) which Drew had given copies to both them and myself last Christmas. It was my second time through it and I’ll continue to pull it out and watch every once in a while because of the clips of him at so many monumental events in time leading a crowd to sing. Woody Guthrie’s son, Arlo Guthrie quips somewhere, how gifted Pete is in the way he can lead an audience to sing along with him. I cannot recommend it enough and thought I’d share a bit about this remarkable man. Pete Seeger personifies of the power of song.

Pete Seeger was born May 3, 1919 in New York into a musical family. His father was a Harvard grad, a musicologist who, in 1912, developed the first music program at University of California, in Berkeley and his mother was a concert violinist who later taught at Juilliard. When Pete was 18-months-old his parents and two older brothers headed out in a homemade trailer caravan type vehicle to “bring musical uplift to the working people in the American South”. Their pretentious intention was to present classical music throughout the south but within a short time on the road his father was introduced to and became enthralled with the local Americana music played in the hills on banjos, guitars, fiddles and jugs, a far cry from their classical roots.

The elder Seeger later went on to work to help shape the Archives of Folk Music in Washington DC. It’s hard to believe, in our current time of political apathy there was a time when people gathered, discussed, argued, debated and marched for the issues of the day. We take for granted what principles of equal opportunity, racial equality, peace and freedoms were fought for within his (and my) lifetime. Hard to believe today that Pete’s father would be forced to leave his employ at the University of California for being a Pacifist, during the First World War. We’ve come a long way...or have we?

Athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay continues to soar into the stratosphere alleged use of performance enhancing drugs. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be paid for the period of his suspension, should it be upheld by an independent arbitrator. The appeal hearing is scheduled to begin Sept. 30.

Yes, money and top-flight athletes go hand in hand and that is a major topic of discussion among people today, just as it was when Ruth was busily re-writing the MLB batting record book in the 1920s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s.

For fans of team sports the main focus is the season, the playoff or pennant races and ultimately, hopefully, a championship for their favourite team or teams.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Detroit Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fan. At this writing the ball club is on the verge of a third straight American League (AL) Central Division championship. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful of another strong playoff showing. Tigers rolled to the AL Pennant in 2012 before bombing in the World Series, losing four straight to San Francisco Giants, the National League titlists.

The National Hockey League (NHL) campaign is just around the corner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a full season too this time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and locally all eyes are on the Ottawa Senators. Fans are anxious to see how Sens will perform without long-time captain and talisman Daniel Alfredsson? Or at the very least Ottawa fans will be anticipating

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first meeting with the Detroit Red Wings, Alfieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new team. That comes up Oct. 23 in the Motor City. The clubs are now in the same division and will face-off four times during the campaign.

Despite the fact fans like me enjoy following their team(s) day-to-day throughout the various seasons it is difficult for most of us to relate to what athletes today are being paid. Only a tiny fraction of people ever achieve such riches!

Salaries incredible Being paid so handsomely to play a game doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compute for most of us. But clearly it does when the various leagues and their member teams consider the bottom line, which is making money.

Because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fan I will focus on them as one good example of massive player salaries.

In 2008 slugger Miguel Cabrera inked what was then the richest contract in team history,

SAVE up to $3,000

an eight-year $153m pact.

Certainly if anyone warrants that kind of money, Cabrera does. At age 30 he has quickly overtaken the biggest run producers in MLB history. Last year the Detroit third baseman won the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Triple Crownâ&#x20AC;? which goes to a player who combines the highest batting average with the most home runs and the highest runs batted in total. His award was the first in 45 years. The previous Major Leaguer to achieve the rare honour was former Boston Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centennial Year.

Not surprisingly, with two years left in his current deal, Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brass has already begun talks with the Venezuelan-born Cabrera about a contract extension.

Cabrera isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the highest paid player on the Detroit roster however. Far from it in fact!

Striking it rich As the new European soccer season began a few weeks ago, Real Madrid completed the highest ever transfer deal in world football history. They signed Welsh midfielder Gareth Bale from London side Tottenham Hotspur of the EPL for â&#x201A;Ź100m ($140 million CDN).

That is only the transfer fee paid to Tottenham! The Madrid soccer giants will also have to pay Bale a reported ÂŁ256,000 per week ($404,000 CDN).

Baseball. Internet returns alone have boosted baseball earnings in North America to the highest mark in the history of the sport.

On the global sports stage nothing can knock soccer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or football as it is called in most of the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the top rung.

Soccer, which is often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the World Gameâ&#x20AC;?, is No. 1.

But outside of a handful of teams led by Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Real Madrid, Manchester United of the English Premier League (EPL) and Barcelona, also of the Spanish La Liga, most teams are struggling to keep their heads above water. That is mainly due to ridiculously inflated player salaries.

a new team record in January 2012 when he inked a nine-year, $214m deal. Fielder, son of former Toronto Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; slugger Cecil Fielder, has played well although his home run production has tailed off.

The distinction of the largest contract for a pitcher in MLB history belongs to current Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ace Justin Verlander. He agreed (who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) to a seven-year, $180m contract prior to this season. Verlander, who won the prestigious Cy Young Award and the AL Most Valuable Player in 2011, has struggled somewhat this season however. Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; management and fans feel he is so competitive that he may be over trying in an effort to live up to the hype. But despite being down in victories his overall pitching statistics remain among the best in the AL as this regular season wraps up. The long campaign ends Sunday with the playoffs starting the first week of October.

I have not used the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;earnedâ&#x20AC;? to describe athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe anyone can really earn such inflated salaries.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In 1930 baseball legend Babe Ruth was under public scrutiny due to his high salary.

After making $70,000 each of the previous three seasons the New York Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sensation had his pay packet increased by another ten grand.

The Great Depression was in full swing at the time and with jobs at a premium people were lining up daily to eat at soup kitchens. Terrible times, so little wonder the American public were envious of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Bambino.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terms his 1930 salary would be worth approximately $1.1 million. At the time it was considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;astonishing!â&#x20AC;?

Ruth was never stuck for words and he had a quick response when a reporter asked how he could justify making $80,000 to play baseball when then US President Herbert Hoover was paid $75,000 annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know, but I had a better year than Hoover,â&#x20AC;? he replied.

Today another Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; superstar Alex Rodriguez is taking home a cool $32 million (m) per season. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight times the pay of current American President Barack Obama.

Of course A-Rodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pay cheque may only last as long as his current appeal of a 211 game suspension imposed recently by Major League Baseball (MLB) for his

Overwhelming response for 2014 Tankard volunteers Sports – The Ottawa Valley is noted for its volunteer spirit and that spirit is certainly shining brightly in the lead-up to the Smiths Falls Dominion Tankard 2014 Ontario Men’s Curling Championship.

The host committee has already achieved its goal of 180 volunteers for the prestigious men’s curling event, which will take place Jan. 27 to Feb. 2 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre.

“Once again, the people of Smiths Falls and the surrounding areas have shown their generosity and spirit by coming forth to volunteer their time and enthusiasm to the upcoming Tankard,” says Nancy Yunker who is co-ordinating the slate of volunteers. “It did not take long at all to get our needed 180 volunteers.”

While the majority of the volunteers are from the Smiths Falls area, people are also offering their time and talents from neighbouring communities like Perth, Carleton Place and Richmond.

The volunteer base includes both curlers and non-curlers.

“They are just people who want to be part of the excitement and showcase Smiths Falls as a place that can host a provincial event,” notes Agnes McVeety, who co-chairs the host committee with Paul Howard.

Leonard LeBlanc who lives in the Smiths Falls area is one of those individuals.

His wife Lois is a member of the host Smiths Falls Curling and Squash Club and he enjoys watching the sport.

“I think it is just going to be a great thing for the town,” he states.

Volunteers will be taking

on a wide variety of roles with the Dominion Tankard. These range from preparing and serving food in the “Lockmaster’s House” in the upper hall of the community centre during the event to selling 50/50 tickets to driving teams to assisting with the timing of the games to security and parking. Volunteers will be notified shortly as to what role they will be assuming.

Some volunteers, such as those involved with marketing and sponsorship and planning the opening and closing ceremonies for the Dominion Tankard, have already been hard at work for several months.

Each volunteer has paid $125 with that money going towards the purchase of a jacket and golf shirt, which they will wear during the event. Volunteers will also have the opportunity during a pep rally on Sunday, Jan. 26 to curl on the championship ice at the Memorial Community Centre. Later that day, there will be a meet and greet in the Lockmaster’s House involving volunteers, sponsors and members of the 11 elite men’s curling teams in Ontario who will be vying at the Dominion Tankard for the right to compete at the national level in the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier in Kamloops, B.C. McVeety cannot stress enough the important role that volunteers play in an endeavour of this calibre.

“They are invaluable and the key to providing a successful event,” she says.

Additional information on the 2014 Dominion Tankard can be obtained by visiting www.thedominiontankard2014.ca or contacting 613-812-3372.

Gordie Tapp to perform at Studio Theatre

By EMILIE MUST

Famous stand-up comic and country musician, Gordie Tapp, 91, will be performing at Perth’s Studio Theatre, 63 Gore St. East on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $30 to see Canada’s beloved country star.

Debbie Bayshaw will also be performing a tribute to Cousin Minnie Pearl along with Arlene Quinn and Rodger Coulombe.

Tapp has performed for 75 years and was in the television industry for 59 years. He was the star of the hit television show “Hee Haw” for more than 25 years, where he performed Cousin Clem along with other characters throughout the years.

He began his career on smaller TV shows on CHCH in Hamilton and on the Country Hoedown on CBC. Tapp later went on to work with the biggest television networks in Canada and the USA; ABC, NBC, and CBC. Tapp has won numerous

GORDIE TAPP

awards along with the Queen’s Jubilee Medal, the Order of Canada, Ontario and Saskatchewan.

This will be his first time performing in Perth and he will be doing comedy, playing a few songs, and “talking about the business and the people he has worked with,” he said in an interview.

Tapp has worked with the biggest names in comedy and in country music including Johnny Cash, Perry Como, and Bob

Hope. He plays the harmonica, guitar, and the banjo.

Tapp says his favourite instrument is the five-string banjo; even though he is best a playing the guitar.

Tapp didn’t always dream of becoming a country star. He said he was working on a jazz show when one day the show’s producer asked him to emcee for a country show. He agreed to keep up the act when he was given a raise.

When asked about retirement he said, “If I get a chance to entertain, I’m going to entertain.”

The Perth show is the second in a five-show tour ending Dec. 1.

Before this tour began, he spent three days in Mont Tremblant performing for the Cree Nations people.

Tickets can be purchased now by visiting 67 Foster St. in Perth, by phoning Shadowfax at (613)267-6817, or visit online at www. shadowfax.on.ca.

COLUMN From page 21

Still, the highest earning soccer players don’t come close to the best paid athletes in North American sports, unless you include the endorsement deals for a select few such as former English star David Beckham and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo. The National Football League and National Basketball Association in the U.S. also pay massive money for their top stars.

Of course the real beneficiary of the Bale to Madrid arrangement is Tottenham. Sure, they lose a player who won both top awards in the EPL last season. But fearing a Bale exit they signed seven new players in the off season for a combined £115m. The transfer money from Real Madrid basically covers their signing spree.

Oh yes, the 100 highest earning athletes in the world (according to Forbes Magazine) include 27 MLB players.

Rodriguez at $32 million leads the baseball world. But he’s No. 18 on the overall list. Of the top 10 sports

is the demand for “customization” in today’s society. People are used to a wide variety of choices in every aspect of their lives, posing challenges for both businessmen and educators struggling to meet the needs of clients and students.

“You can now go into a coffee shop these days and (instead of a basic coffee) order that half decaf, tall and skinny latté,” she said.

“People can also do iPod purchasing where you can buy just the one song you really want. Again you are expecting customization through technology.”

The demand for customized solutions is reaching into the school system as well, she said.

Parents are now expecting an almost “private-school” level of attention for their children within the public school system, something which cannot be done with available resources. She believes that this is a trend teachers should be aware of as they work to meet

earners, five are Americans. Soccer’s Beckham ($47m) qualifies for the list despite announcing his retirement this past spring. He ranks eighth.

The top five are led by golfer Tiger Woods ($78m), followed by tennis star Roger Federer ($71.5m), NBA stars Kobe Bryant ($61.9m) and LeBron James ($59.8m) with New Orleans Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees ($51m) rounding out the select list.

The top 100 play 11 different sports with baseball first (27). There are 21 NBA players on the chart, 13 NFLers and 12 soccer stars. A total of 23 countries are represented on the elite roll.

Not surprisingly 63 Americans are among the top 100 sports wage earners. Clearly they won’t be holding a tag day for the recently embattled Mr. Woods based on these numbers.

All things considered it still totally boggles the mind!

“It’s not just about video games that people are playing,” she said.

“People are using games for learning as well, and trying to make learning a little more interactive and fun.”

around 75 mph. I took it in to a local Nissan dealer and they attributed the noise to the tires which had been replaced the year previous but did not make this noise when they were first installed. I had them rebalanced twice to no avail.

When I returned to Ottawa, I had the front discs and brakes pads replaced because one disc was warped.

This hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cured the front end noise and it still persists and the dealer still blames the tires. I suspect the wheel bearings again as the noise is similar to the previous one. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had other bearing failures on other SUVs and the noise is similar. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also had a four-wheel alignment done with the same result, no change.

Any insight would be appreciated.â&#x20AC;?

Peter With regards to fuel mileage, the USâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EPA (the only mileage rating source to use until NRCan gets the Canadian specs in line in 2014) rates your FX35 at 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway (US gallon) so your mileage while lower than it was, is still up to snuff. According to Nissan/Infinitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedules the spark plugs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t due for replacement until 168,000 km, but this is a very ambitious projection of how long the platinum tipped plugs will last.

Dirty air filters are the number one non-driver cause of poor fuel mileage. Also, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discount the possibility that the fuel you purchased might have changed in formulation between the first and subsequent road-trips.

Gasoline producers are adding more and more ethanol (ethyl alcohol) to their fuels with the US feds pushing for more use of E15 blends (15 per cent ethanol) and this can cause a drop in fuel economy. An easy test to distinguish between tire noise and wheel bearing noise is to gently (and safely) swerve the vehicle left and right while driving at lower highway speeds when the noise is noticeable (no wide swings or sudden moves are required). If the noise changes noticeably when swerving to one side or the other, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most likely a front wheel bearing at fault. If not, it could be caused by tires, a rear wheel bearing, or something else.

To check the tires you could try having them rotated and then road test the

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Morning, I am a big fan of your articles. I grew up with a father that flipped cars like dimes and my spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hobby is old cars. We were sitting around having coffee the other day and my dad says to the spouse, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad for my car if I turn the engine off and then put my van in park?â&#x20AC;? (Of course he asks the â&#x20AC;&#x153;guyâ&#x20AC;?!)

Spouse says no problem, I say problem. So we now have a friendly gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bet going on and I decided to ask the expert! It would be very much appreciated if you could end this little tiff.

If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wrong...Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it like a man! Ha ha.â&#x20AC;? Judi About the only difference it would make if you turned off the engine before putting the shift lever into park would be that the power brake assist would be lost when the engine quit running.

If you already had your foot on the brake, this wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter unless you released the pedal before shifting to park. You should make sure you apply the park brake before releasing the main brake after putting the shifter into park. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be surprised to know that without the parking brake applied the entire rolling weight of your vehicle is held by a small short metal rod in the transmission about the diameter of a pencil. When these rods wear because of lack of use of the parking brake, they can develop a groove that makes it harder to get the transmission out of park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Brian: I enjoy reading your column every week. It provides a lot of insight. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to live with for the past year or so. I have a 2007 Infiniti FX35 with 118,000 km. When I bought the car three years ago, I was getting approximately 23.9 mpg (US gal.) premium fuel on a 1,500 mile road trip to Florida. Last year it dropped to under 21 mpg.

Now I am down to 19.5 mpg.

I change the air filter and oil regularly. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to matter what speed I drive at: 60 mph or 75 mph, sometimes higher in order to keep up with traffic, A/C on or not, nothing changes. Would new spark plugs help or anything else that you can suggest?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my second issue. I took it in to the shop with a noise in the front end. For a bit of background, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had all the wheel bearings replaced under warranty two years ago. Last year the car developed a grinding noise in the front end. I went to the dealer and they said all that was needed was a slight adjustment to the brakes which was done. On my drive to Florida last year a slight vibration developed and an irritating rubbing noise at

Friends of Augusta Street Park need your help to make a splash!

Fund offers us a chance to put our fundraising efforts over the top,â&#x20AC;? says committee member, Linda Nilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avivaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criteria fits perfectly with our vision of recreating Augusta Street Park as a safe, accessible community place where neighbours of all ages and abilities can meet, play, and relax.â&#x20AC;?

The Augusta Street Park Community Committee has submitted their idea for funding for the splash pad phase of their plan through the Aviva Community Fund and is happy to have the support of Aviva Broker, Oegema, Nicholson & Associates. The committee sees this park element as more than just a splash pad for children but also a memorial water fountain of sorts in honour of all the hard community work done 40 years ago by neighbours who helped to bring water services and Augusta Street Park to the neighbourhood.

The contest consists of three qualifying rounds from

The Bard of Avon comes to Carleton Place this October Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Othello, Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic tragedy of love, betrayal and murder comes to the Carleton Place Town Hall theatre this October.

Fifteen young people from Carleton Place, Almonte, and Lanark County will be presenting the tale of the Moor of Venice in the way it was originally intended â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the round, surrounded by the audience.

Othello has been an audience favourite continually since it was written four hundred years ago. Its story has universal appeal: Iago, a soldier in the army of Venice, is passed over for promotion, and in his jealousy, seeks revenge. Pretending friendship, he sows seeds of doubt within his military commander and former friend, the Moorish general Othello. He convinces Othello that his new bride, Desdemona, has been unfaithful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while at the same time, Iago slanders the man who was promoted over him, the suave and intelligent Cassio. In the end, Othello, driven mad with doubt, mistakenly seeks revenge upon the faithful and unsuspecting Desdemona, who loves him still.

Many theatregoers in the area will remember this group of young actors from previous Shakespearean performances.

With the Mississippi Mudds this group presented Macbeth in 2010, and Much Ado About Nothing in 2011. And most recently, this year with the Almonte Valley Players, they presented Hamlet.

Audiences will remember Hayley Fortierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master turn as Hamlet in this springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pro-

duction. In this production of Othello, she takes on the role of the scheming villain Iago.

Newcomer Dayna Stone takes on the title role of Othello.

Leah West, who portrayed the mad Ophelia in Hamlet, now challenges herself with the role of Desdemona.

And Katie Irvine, who lately played the nefarious villain Claudius, returns as the dashing Cassio. Connor Lyon, whose most recent role in Shakespeare was as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, returns to help out as assistant director â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and takes the small part of Brabantio, Desdemonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, as well.

Director Mark Piper returns for his fourth outing, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having so much fun with this Shakespearean company, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever stop,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great learning experience for me as well. These actors, teenagers though they are, have taught me a lot about both Shakespeare and about acting. Some of them have developed their talents nearly to the professional level, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great privilege to work with them.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to see some very talented local teens bring life to the story of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the one who loved, not wisely but too well.â&#x20AC;? William Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Othello comes to Carleton Place Town Hall Oct. 20, 25, and 26.

Tickets will be sold at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre, 132 Coleman Street (613257-1976). For more details, please visit mississippimudds. ca.

Sept. 30 to Nov. 25 (three chances to advance to the semi-finals), a semi-final round from Dec. 2 to 11, and a judging period from Dec. 18 to 27. Projects that make it to

1933 Ford hot rod turns up in Niagara Falls 44 years later, with upgrades!

Lifestyle – Russell Boles of Niagara Falls, Ontario, writes: “Hi Bill, I have been enjoying your ‘Old Car Detective’ column for several years.

“Back in 1968, I purchased my first and only hot rod from a friend in rural Niagara. Charley Crowther built it – a 1933 Ford two-door coach with a flathead V8, lovely canary yellow paint job and a silver naugahyde interior stitched up by his mother! I drove it as my only car for about a year, with a constant smile on my face.

However, I was getting married in the spring of 1970 and reluctantly sold the car in the fall of ’69 as I could not afford to keep it. I’ve kicked myself for over 40 years for letting it go. I sold it in Stoney Creek and it changed hands several times and I lost track of it.

“A few years ago, I learned that my old ’33 had returned to Niagara, next door to where it was built so many years earlier. I finally traced the owner and in late June 2013 was able to see the car again after 44 years! It is now bright red and running a 327 Chevy with many fine upgrades. Enclosed are pictures of when I owned it and again this year.”

The 1933 Fords and the almost identical ‘34s have long been a favourite with hot rodders and restorers alike. The ‘33s were the first Fords with a grille set back at an

angle as a big step toward streamlining. They are still a delight to look at today, 80 years later.

And what does Russell Boles drive today? “I have just purchased from a collection in Arkansas a nicely restored 1941 Chevrolet pickup. So once again I’m having

fun cruising. This one won’t get away!”

Taillights are non-original and tires are definitely fit for a hot rod! Above, same ’33 Ford today, now red and still a hot rod. Note black “bra” at front to protect from stone chips. Also note the dual windshield wipers mounted on the roof, twin cowl lights, custom license plate, and cool owner with thumbs in pockets (we all stood that way 40 years ago!).

A heart transplant story: two families joined by one beating heart

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragedy was anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saving grace four years ago. Today, a young heart beats strongly for a local child, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not without worry and stress.

Phoenix Borrowman, now four years of age, was the recipient of a heart transplant in 2009, and since then, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been on daily doses of anti-rejection medication which are highly toxic, said her mom, Robin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phoenix takes two anti-rejection meds every 12 hours. These meds are doing an excellent job at helping her body not reject her new heart, but they are very toxic,â&#x20AC;? said Robin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They suppress her immune system. She can become very sick, very rapidly.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of these rigorous doses of anti-rejection medications that Phoenix is on a strict low-potassium diet to save her kidneys. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for this reason, the Borrowmans have to keep an eye on what their young daughter consumes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She may be in need of a kidney transplant, but at this stage sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing well,â&#x20AC;? Robin said.

The first two years of her life, young Phoenix battled lots of bouts of pneumonia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about eight times a year.

But, her mom added, she bounced back quickly, despite the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compromised immune system. Robin says her daughter was born (so they believed) healthy in April, 2009. It was around seven weeks of age when the tot became, what her mother described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;fussier.â&#x20AC;?

By June, she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;really fussyâ&#x20AC;? and on June 9, she took her to the Perth emergency department because the baby was distressed.

During a dose of Ventolin to treat what was suspected as asthma, Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart stopped, she went pale and limp in her

motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They used epinephrine to revive her and a helicopter took her to CHEO,â&#x20AC;? Robin recalled.

At the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the family learned that Phoenix had dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle that causes the main artery to become enlarged, or dilated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if she would make it through the next 48 hours,â&#x20AC;? her mom said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and if she did, she would need a heart transplant.â&#x20AC;?

On June 22, 2009, Phoenix was taken to SickKids Hospital in Toronto and on July 8, was listed for a transplant.

Phoenix underwent an operation on July 22 when her heart stopped for a full 10 minutes.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when she was provided with a Berlin heart to act as a bridge to her real-heart transplant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Aug. 14, she received the gift of life,â&#x20AC;? Robin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Aug. 28 she left the hospital and has never looked back.â&#x20AC;?

The Borrowman family is pictured with daughter Phoenix (held by her dad Adrian) who received a heart transplant MEETING THE from Natalia Tuma (in the photograph) four years ago. The families met for the first time this year in Orlando, Fl. The DONOR FAMILY Soon after the transplant, the Tuma family visited Canada this summer when these photos were taken. Pictured are: Gladys Beneito, Alanis Cartaya, donor family contacted the Bor- Sylvia Tuma and the Borrowman family, including Alliyah, Isaiah, Robin and Phoenix. Little Bianca Tuma is in front. rowman family (including father, Adrian, and siblings Alliyah and Isaiah) through the Trillium Gift of Life Foundation. All locations, names and ages were deleted, as per Ontario requirements.

Robin was tenacious in her search for the donorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, when a Google search turned up the last name, Tuma, which was the name of the donor family.

Unsure of what to do with the information, Robin saved the newspaper articles and other information about the family and stored it with the rest of her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s things from her hospital life.

Meanwhile, in Miami, Fla., Sylvia Tuma had just been to a

psychic show that featured famous psychic John Edward. Out of the more than 300 people in the audience, Edward chose Sylvia for a reading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He spoke about my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing and he acknowledged that I donated her heart,â&#x20AC;? she recounted the story in a phone interview with The Perth Courier this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said the letter â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was prominent and that I was going to have a very strong relationship with the family that received Nataliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart.â&#x20AC;?

That psychic reading was on June 4, 2011.

In Canada, Robin was making progress finding the donorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I received a letter in the mail that came directly from Sylvia,â&#x20AC;?

Robin said of the donorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I immediately emailed her back.â&#x20AC;?

For the next year, the moms got to know one another, via the Internet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We developed a strong bond.

Sylvia has become a very trusted and respected member of our family,â&#x20AC;? Robin said.

Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donor heart was from Natalia, 2, who drowned in a swimming pool while the family was on vacation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very hard decision for our family to make,â&#x20AC;? said

Sylvia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But our Natalia was brain deadâ&#x20AC;Ś I decided to donate her heart, because I was once on the other end of organ donation when my grandmother was waiting for a liver transplant back in 1989.â&#x20AC;?

Because Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart cavity had dilated to accommodate her enlarged heart, the little girl could receive a heart from a child up to five years of age, said her mom.

One of the characteristics that Natalia had, whose family is of Cuban descent, was striking brown eyes. Young Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes are now brown, changing from ice blue just after the trans-

plant. Both moms have commented on this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just coincidental, but it could be that Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes changed to Nataliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colourâ&#x20AC;Ś we think that is kind of cool,â&#x20AC;? Robin said.

Sylvia said she can certainly see the similarities in their children, especially with the eye colour and shape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Natalia is everywhere,â&#x20AC;? Sylvia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I certainly see my daughter in Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes.â&#x20AC;?

“We had shingles blow off (in a wind storm) and had to get them replaced, then we had a septic backup into the basement and had to have that all redone.”

Bazilsky said he was alerted to the fire by his adopted son, Dennis, who has autism.

“He pulled his door shut and came out into the hall and the fire alarm was going off,” Bazilsky said. “I didn’t know where the fire was coming from until he told me. ‘Dad, it’s in my room.’”

Bazilsky said he looked at his son’s door and could see flames jumping from beneath it. That’s when he alerted the rest of his family and got them to safety. He tried to put out the flames with buckets of water, to no avail.

Firefighters managed to save a pet dog, a pug named Bella.

“When I saw that fireman coming out with Bella in his arms, I couldn’t believe it,” Bazilsky said. “But we did lose Pumpkin, a big orange cat.”

That cat was TJ’s.

Two other dogs, Pebbles the Yorki and Kahlua, the hound cross, were also saved, as were two cats, Pepper and Destiny (yes, the cat and one of the daughters have the same name).

His wife, Tanya, had already gone to work at the Rexall Pharmacy in Brockville when the fire broke out.

“I couldn’t comprehend what Todd was telling me on the phone,” said Tanya, who remembered the phone call from her husband. “All I could think to do was get the store opened, but my manager was great, she told

me to just go.”

Upon her arrival back home, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

“It’s so hard to understand why, and then, what do I do? How do we get through this when we’ve lost everything? I was thinking, I can’t fall apart. I’m the glue that holds this family together. We’ve never been people to ask for help, but now… we need help. I just want us all back together.”

“My mom and Dennis are staying in town with my mom’s sister, Lorie and Allan Welch, and they are looking after them, so I’m not to worry about them.”

She is still worried about them.

Destiny has been staying with her parents at the Comfort Inn in Smiths Falls, where they were put up for a few nights, thanks to the Red Cross.

TJ has been “couch surfing,” said his mom.

“He says he doesn’t mind,” Tanya said. “But I can tell… he wants to be…” her sentence trails off as she watches him come sailing out of one of the windows in the burned-out home and lands on some of its charred remains that have been tossed into a pile outside.

TJ is helping his family rebuild.

The Bazilsky family has been getting lots of community support, thanks to the Facebook page, their employers – both Destiny and Tanya work at Andress’ Independent Grocer in Smiths Falls – and family, friends and neighbours.

“I have to work two jobs, it’s what I do to keep us together. You just do it,” Tanya said.

But until they are together again, all under one roof, they will continue to sift through the ashes of what’s left of their lives and start to put back the pieces.

“There is a lot of work to do, but I hope we can get it done,” Bazilsky says. “We couldn’t do it without the support of our friends… like this guy.”

Ron Cassell is a friend of the family who has been instrumental in organizing the clean-up crews. He was on his way from his home in Kingston last Saturday morning when he had some trouble of his own.

“I crashed,” he said. “A woman T-boned me at an intersection on

It’s the hope of the family to rebuild if they can raise the dollars needed to do so.

“I’ve been in contact with our (mortgage lender) and they said they may be able to help us too with some financing options,” Bazilsky said.

Limber-up those fingers and share why you love Smiths Falls

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community – Here’s a chance to really think about all the wonderful things that make Smiths Falls sensational.

The Downtown Business Association (DBA) is putting out a call to residents and non-residents to submit a 500-word essay on the theme of “Why I love Smiths Falls.”

“We want to hear people’s experiences with people, events and places in Smiths Falls, and

the contest is open to anybody.

You can be from outside Smiths Fall and once lived here, or work here, but don’t live here, or live and work here or any combination,” said Amy Hogue, coordinator of the DBA. Submission for this first time even can be dropped off at the DBA, at 77 Beckwith Street North, or emailed to dba@smithsfalls.ca no later than 4 p.m. on Oct. 15.

“A committee will judge the essays and the winner will be an-

nounced by Nov. 1,” said Hogue.

Besides an opportunity to limber up those fingers and don that thinking cap, the winners will be eligible for some pretty awesome prizes donated by local businesses.

“We got a lot of businesses on board and a lot of positive feedback,” said Tracey Pankow, one of the judges.

The prizes include a breakfast at The Good Life Bistro, dinner at Chuckles Jack, a manicure, gift baskets and more.

Corey Turnbull proposed the idea for the contest, during the Little Thing Running Thing earlier this summer.

“I think my original idea was for people to write the essay and the winners to be awarded a gift to give to someone outside the community – a way to get people who don’t live here to experience the town first hand,” said Turnbull.

He approached the DBA with his idea, and it caught on with slight variations.

“It’s a way to get people that live or work in a town to think about its assets. In this case about how great Smiths Falls is and what it has to offer,” said Hogue.

The essays will be read by the panel of judges and a blind vote will determine the top five; from there the top three will be chosen and the final winning essay will be published in this paper.

“I’m hoping we’ll get lots of feedback and maybe hear about things we hadn’t even thought of,” said Pankow.

LOCAL NEWS children to Disney in Orlando for three days. Sylvia, her mother Gladys, daughter Bianca, cousin Alanis, plus Natalia and Bianca’s dad, Nelson, his sister, Mabel, and mother, Theresa, all converged in Orlando to meet the Borrowman family.

“We spent three wonderful days enjoying wild rides and sharing special memories.

While waiting in line, we had so many special moments to share intimate memories of Natalia.”

Everyone was able to see how big, strong and beautiful Phoenix is now and how much she is thriving with her gift of life, says Robin.

“We all said a very teary goodbye, not wanting to leave each other company.”

In July, Sylvia, Gladys, Alanis and Bianca all came to Canada from their home near Miami, Fl. “We had an amazing week that included a photo shoot from Tiny Light FoundationPhotographer Jennifer Boggett, who donates her time to take photos of children who have life threatening illness,” Robin said.

“We were able to honor Natalia in the photos.”

They also met with a reporter for Today’s Parent, who featured Phoenix and Natalia in a story.

“We also enjoyed local sights like Wheelers Pancake House. We then ventured to Toronto for some fun at Canada’s wonderland, CN Tower and the Toronto Zoo,” Robin said. “My mother has plans to meet with Gladys this winter when she is in Florida. We have plans to see each other at least once a year.”

Sylvia said she’s looking forward to her family’s time spent with her new extended Canadian family.

“We lost a precious child,

but gained a special family,” Sylvia said. “It’s like Natalia brought us all together.”

SICKKIDS ABO-incompatible heart transplantation, as explained

by Phoenix’s heart doctor in an email exchange, is when a heart is used from a donor with a blood group that doesn’t match the recipient’s group.

“The fact that this is possible to do in infants and young children was discovered at SickKids and we did our first one in 1996,” said Dr. Anne Dipchand, who is the head of the heart transplant program and a professor of paediatrics at the University of Toronto.

“Since then, we have done over 50 ABO-incompatible infant heart transplants – the highest number in the world.”

The youngest recipient, she said, was just a day old.

Phoenix’s condition is not very common, “but about 40 per cent of the kids who get it, end up needing a transplant,” Dipchand said, and added that the child has done very well and has a “very good prognosis.”

Dipchand said they expect her to have an “almost normal childhood (no restrictions, able to do activities with other kids) and live into adulthood if all continues well.”

Because young Phoenix’s kidneys are sensitive to the anti-rejection medications, the Borrowmans have been monitoring them closely.

There is a change that she may need a kidney transplant, down the road. It’s due to this, that the family has been raising money for the Kidney Foundation since 2010. This year’s she helping with the Perth event, taking place on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 10 a.m. at Crystal Palace. The 5km event will take participants through town, ending back at the palace for a barbecue lunch with entertainment.

Closing the infrastructure gap is going to take some hard decisions

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

News – Nine months into the fiscal year and the Town of Smiths Falls is running a $100,000 deficit, one that is currently expected to hit $200,000 by the end of the year.

“I don’t see it as being unusual for a town of this size,” said interim CAO Steve Fournier. “We now monitor expenditures very carefully and look at doing more deferrals.”

The only issue is that deferral means delaying a project or expense from one year to the next, Fournier explained, which doesn’t really solve the problem.

For example the Town Hall’s façade which could use a facelift isn’t going to get it this year, but every year it gets delayed the expense could go up, not down.

“It’s symptomatic of a council that has been trying to hold taxes in contrast with growing costs,” said Coun. Shawn

Pankow.

Compounding the problem is the drop in revenue the town has experienced this past year. Water and sewage revenue has dropped drastically this year according to Janet Kozeil, assistant treasurer, which is both good and bad. On the one hand, residents and businesses are possibly conserving more water helped by a rainier summer, which is good according to Coun. Ken Graham; on the other hand the drop has skewed the town’s finances according to Koziel.

“While we do encourage conservation, we still have to pay for the water and sewage treatment and if the rates go up again it’s likely people will conserve more,” said Coun. Ken Graham.

The drop in water and sewage revenue was $60,000 this year.

“It’s the lowest it’s ever been for commercial use and second lowest for residential,” said Koziel at council.

Annual water and sewage pipe fail-

ures while anticipated in every year’s budget, are on the rise and speak to the age of some of the town’s infrastructure.

“The biggest concern I have is the issue of our aging infrastructure because that needs to be dealt with, nobody wants to live in a community that has no water or roads that are dug up all the time,” said Coun. Lorraine Allen.

As the gap continues to grow council is struggling to find a solution. To that end Coun. Chris Cummings attended a finance course put on by The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).

“The message that came out of the session was...’as a municipality it’s not realistic to think that you can close your infrastructure gap without some regular tax increases’,” reported Cummings.

“We’ve typically relied on MPAC’s assessment growth to increase the tax revenue to the town,” said Graham.

So while residents have seen their taxes rise every year and the municipality has seen a modest increase in tax revenue as a result of assessment growth, the municipal rate has remained unchanged, explained Graham, but that can’t go on indefinitely.

“What we’re collecting in my opinion is not sufficient to meet the needs of the community, it’s not sustainable, not if we want to deliver the level of service and not if we want to repair and restore our infrastructure - we’ll never get caught up,” said Cummings.

While the mathematics support Cummings it would take considerably more than a one per cent increase in the municipal tax rate to make any significant The issue in Smiths Falls is that the difference to the town’s finances acmunicipal tax rate has been frozen for cording to Fournier. At the same time more than a decade. the town has had to endure a number of

Council Briefs The following excerpts are taken from the committee of the whole during Smiths Falls council on Monday, Sept. 23.

Heritage House to join CAP At a presentation to council, Amber Coville, local immigration partnership marketing officer and Carol Miller, curator of Heritage House museum asked for council’s approval to support an initiative to offer complimentary admission to the museum to new Canadian citizens. The Cultural Access Pass (CAP) is a program run by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship designed to encourage new immigrants who have earned their citizenship to visit certain cultural attraction to learn about their new home free of charge in their first year of citizenship. The initiative will only cost the museum the loss of admission fee. Council agreed it’s another way to promote the museum at low cost.

Loss of Greyhound service raises questions Since Greyhound precipitously ended its regular commuter runs from Smiths Falls, many residents have been seeking information from the town.

“I’ve spoken to Joseph Potvin, of letsgomoose and he’s said that between now and the end of November they hope to launch a public awareness campaign around their commuter options,” said Mayor Dennis Staples.

The mayor has also been in touch with Greyhound to get clarity on why they suddenly stopped their service in Smiths Falls. He was told that Greyhound does not receive public funding and with only 4.5 passengers per day from the town, the company could not afford to continue the daily service.

In the meantime Bob Cheetham, director of economic development, advised that there is a carpooling option through the town website.

“If you go to our website under living here, to community/ transport at the side it says carpool and people can post their email and travel plans so others can connect,” said Cheetham.

More on this issue next week.

major economic setbacks that are still being felt by residents and businesses.

“The people of Smiths Falls are already having challenges making ends meet, we’ve already raised water rates, so a five to 10 per cent tax increase would be a very big increase for people to have to deal with,” cautioned Pankow.

With an election year looming, it seems unlikely that council will support a large enough tax increase to close the gap between revenue and repair requirements.

“I’ve always supported a small tax increase to keep the wolves from the door,” said Graham.

But after years of near stagnation, a one per cent municipal tax increase would only increase revenue by about $100,000 according to Fournier, not a pittance to most people but as part of a $15-million budget it’s just a drop in the bucket

OPINION

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - SEPT. 30, 1913

Public officials are very often the subjects of a good deal of adverse criticism and fault finding but Smiths Falls reversed the rule last night in tendering a banquet at the Hotel Rideau to Mayor Adam Foster as a mark of its appreciation of his interest in the town and of his labors in its behalf.

It was a happy and most successful function unburdened by formality and characterized by great goodfellowship.

It was given by the town Council, the Board of Education, the Council of the Board of Trade, the Board of Health, the Public Library Board and town officials.

50 YEARS AGO - SEPT. 17, 1953 District winners at the Leeds-Lanark Red and White Show held at Delta Fair on Tuesday last week were L.W. Pryce and Son, Easton Corners, who took top honors in the senior grand champions. Judge A.M. Barr of Kemptville awarded Pryce first prize ribbons for his three-yearold bull, who won the senior and grand championships and first for three-year-old and four-year-old dry females which won both senior and grand champions as well as reserve champions in both classes.

Donald and Albert Covell, Lombardy, were awarded the reserve championship on their senior bull, Lombardy’s Bob White.

25 YEARS AGO - SEPT. 25, 1988 The Canadian Gas Association advises that now is the time to make certain your natural gas furnace is operating properly so that you can get maximum heat for your heating dollar in the fall and winter months that lie ahead.

Modern gas furnaces are precision made and certified

by GGA to conform to government approved performance and safety standards.

As a general rule, do-it yourselves should never tamper with major components of their heating systems such as burners and controls.

Refer this type of service to your gas distributor or qualified maintenance company. However, there are minor maintenance jobs which consumers can, and should perform during the heating season to keep their furnaces operating at peak efficiency.

Remember When “We are number one” was the chant after Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute Redmen (now RedHawks) won the Lanark-Renfrew Interlocking Football League title for the first time in November, 1980 with a 20-14 win over Arnprior. The SFDCI squad went undefeated that year. Here Ron Cassell (front right), a former member of the Redmen from 1948-51, presents the championship (Don Slye)

The struggle of choosing my future Lifestyle – It’s that time of year again for colleges and universities to start their high school tour. Graduate representatives from each school are trying to entice students to apply at their school by making it seem like theirs is the only option for your future. How do you really know if the school is as good as they claim to be?

There are many things to consider when deciding your future. Should you apply to a university or a college? How far away can you handle being from family and friends? Is this program/major what you really want to do in life? Is it worth the money? How do you make your application stand out from all the rest?

Deciding what you want to do with your life is the biggest decision a high school student will make. Choosing a school and a major can feel like life and death. First you need to think

10 YEARS AGO - SEPT. 17, 2003 Share the dream, as Rural Expo 2003 showcases a county rich in heritage, culture and new technologies.

Starting today and running through Sunday Sept. 21, Lanark County will be the gathering place for visitors from near and far. Fun is the only way to describe Rural Expo 2003, this year’s International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show.

The largest outdoor farm and rural living show in Canada is happing right here in the Smiths Falls area’s back yard, on a massive site off Hwy 7 just 20 minutes from town.

With a title such as the International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show one would think the event was about plowing and big wheels. It used to be and visitors loved it.

But organizers have introduced a myriad of activities to make visitors love it even more - food, fashion, local entertainment, and cheer - enough to tempt all of one’s senses.

EMILIE MUST Must be fashionable of a major that really interests you and then decide which path to go in and which school will guarantee you the best skills to excel in whichever career you choose.

Some people know exactly what they were born to do. However, most students have no idea what they are good at, let alone what they want to do for the rest of their lives.

Having big dreams is great, but not having the marks or talent to get into the program at

your first choice school isn’t. Having a second choice you can live with is a must. Grade 12 is hectic enough without having to worry about meeting application deadlines and writing one scholarship and bursary application after another.

Being in this exact position myself, I spent most of my high school career having no idea what I wanted to be. The answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up has changed too many times to count, but for the last year I have really felt strongly about pursuing a career in journalism. This path can open so many doors for me, which will allow me to incorporate everything I love to do all at once.

I would love to go to Ryerson University, but I have to think realistically about how competitive the program is and to have a backup plan of going to a Toronto college.

Sharing food with local newcomers at multicultural dinner

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

News – Sharing food is an inclusive friendship ritual, so what better way to welcome Smiths Falls’ immigrants than to enjoy a meal together. To that end the Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) organized its first multicultural pot-luck dinner on Sept. 18.

“It’s an opportunity to share food and friendship in one evening,” said Dianne Pinder-Moss, LIP relations officer.

The well-organized evening held at the Smiths Falls and District Memorial Community Centre was well attended with 75 invited guests, and a variety of local entertainment.

The food was a delightful mix of dishes prepared by guests that included baked beans, lasagna, perogies, samosas, passion fruit mousse, English trifle and almond cakes, as well as moon cake in celebration of the start of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a Chinese festival celebrated the next day.

“The idea is to help immigrants to Smiths Falls feel like they are part of the community - what happens too often is that immigrants cluster into ethnic groups and we want to break that chain and bring people together,” said Coun. Ken Graham, who was in attendance.

The entertainment included classic and choral singers and a bagpipe performance by Steve Brooke from the Smiths Falls Gordon Pipe Band.

“It’s very loud,” said Ethan Lee, a badminton enthusiast and exchange student at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, who has only been

here for three weeks.

Still getting used to living in Canada, Lee notices a big contrast with his hometown of Chindau, China.

“The air is clean,” he said.

Talking to various immigrants, there was one recurring sentiment expressed over and over again.

“I love that I can say hello to people on the street; people are so friendly,” said Paola Kryvenchuk, who has been here two years now and works at a bank in town.

“I like it here, because here there is peace and the people are very nice,” said Mei Dai, from China.

Kryvenchuk says the biggest difference between Smiths Falls and living in a Guatemalan city is the sense of safety and security she has here.

The event was very well received with both long time Smiths Falls residents and new immigrants sharing tables and getting to know each other a little better.

“It was a very interesting experience, and the food was great,” said Melissa Hillier, who attended the event with her two Chinese exchange students.

The LIP acts as a strategic planning body that coordinates and helps newcomers access the services and they need to feel more at home in their Photo by HOWAIDA SOROUR new community.

Judy Town, Accreditation Support and Tracy Wilson, Finance Clerk review survey information and documentation.

Y O U ’ D W H AT ? !

Local hospital prepares for upcoming accreditation survey News - The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital is working enthusiastically to get things organized for the upcoming visit by Accreditation Canada.

The hospital was granted a full three-year accreditation by Accreditation Canada following its most recent survey held in October, 2010.

“Being accredited is very important to the overall reputation of the hospital and the recognition it receives,” indicated Lynda Hendriks, Chair of the Board of Directors.

The preparation for the survey is led by the Manager of Quality, Cathy Cassidy-Gifford and supported by Accreditation Assistant, Judy Town.

“The staff, volunteers and physicians do an excellent job each and every day and I am proud to showcase our organization at every opportunity,” noted Linda Bisonette, President & CEO. The survey will run over the span of three-and-a-half days beginning Oct. 7 to Oct. 10 with three surveyors visiting the twosite facility to review all facets of the organization – from policies

to practice. The site visits will include a review of documentation, interviews, facility tours and focus group meetings with hospital teams and community partners.

“The three Accreditation Canada surveyors will utilize a technique called the “tracer method” to follow the path of a patient or an administrative process to gather evidence about how our organization ensures that quality and patient safety are paramount in the services we provide,” added Mary Lu Sample, Vice President.

Patient Care Services. The tracers will include discussions with front line staff, patients, families and physicians.

“I have no doubt that the staff will shine during the course of the survey,” said Dr. Caroline Ehrat, Co-Director of Emergency Services at the Great War Memorial Site of the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital.

Bisonette went on to say that, “despite the many changes required to balance the hospital budget, the staff and physicians have remained true to our Mission of fostering the well being

of the people we serve.”

The accreditation preparation process involved the completion of two online surveys, “Worklife Pulse” and “Patient Safety Culture”. The online surveys were completed during the summer months by staff and based on the results of these surveys, “roadmaps” were prepared by Accreditation Canada to assist the hospital in preparing for the October survey.

The volunteer accreditation process is used by the hospital and other Canadian hospitals for the purpose of evaluating one’s services against the national standard of delivery and to continuously improve the quality and safety of patient care.

“We look forward to our survey and are anxious to welcome our peers from other Canadian facilities in their role of assessing the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital against the national standards,” added Dr. Peter Roney, Chief of the Medical Staff.

Controversial N5 site continues to aggravate councils in Lanark County hsorour@perfprint.ca

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In the late 1980s or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, a group of municipalities came together and bought up a 240-acre parcel of land in Tay Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was purchased on the prospect that in the future, as landfill sites filled to capacity, that parcel of land would serve as a landfill site for those municipalities,â&#x20AC;? explained Dennis Staples, mayor of Smiths Falls.

The partners in the original purchase were Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Perth, Drummond North Elmsley, Beckwith Township, Montague, Carleton Place, Tay Valley Township and Smiths Falls. As of August this year all but two of those municipalities would like to divest that land. Smiths Falls and Montague Township would prefer to hang onto it until they can be sure that it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be needed but other municipalities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I understand it the official plan of Tay Valley wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even allow it to be used as a landfill site - so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve moved on, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer interested and have passed a resolution to indicate that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer interested in pursuing the N5 site,â&#x20AC;? said Wendy LeBlanc, mayor of Carleton Place.

The land located west of Hwy 511, north of Balderson and south of the Mississippi River is a mix of low-lying land and swamp criss-crossed with municipal drainage, not far from the river according to Susan Freeman, deputy reeve of

A M.E.

Tay Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tay Valley would never voluntarily approve it as a landfill site,â&#x20AC;? said Freeman.

Ultimately if the Ministry of the Environment were to approve the site, Tay Valley could theoretically be forced to allow the landfill.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think technology is going to be changing.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in favour of burying stuff...â&#x20AC;?

MAYOR JOHN LEVI MISSISSIPPI MILLS

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The preliminary approvals were done, but that was probably 20 years ago,â&#x20AC;? said Freeman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental climate with its proximity to the river and the type of land it is, it would probably never get provincial approval.â&#x20AC;?

Those preliminary approvals were hard-won 20 years ago and this paper ran several stories during that period tracking the lawsuits that were filed and the cost to the partners - in the millions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will never be a landfill site, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too close to the Mississippi River, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of time that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have contaminated all our water if we keep opening landfill sites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so I totally support selling it,â&#x20AC;? said Aubrey Churchill, reeve of the Township of Drummond North Elmsley.

NTOINE

Churchill is not alone in his opinion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the technology is going to be changing, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in favour of burying stuff in the ground,â&#x20AC;? said John Levi, mayor of Mississippi Mills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Besides itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good site, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowland and backs onto the Mississippi Riverâ&#x20AC;Ś and we really wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get into landfill disposal again.â&#x20AC;?

Until last week Smiths Falls had a different take. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our view is, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not costing anything, we should keep it,â&#x20AC;? said Staples. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our garbage has been going to the Carp landfill site, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always at the mercy of another location with our garbage disposal - so why not hold onto it until we know what solutions are coming?â&#x20AC;?

Montague Township shared Smiths Falls view at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mayor Staples may have a good point, even though we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it right now, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the future will bring,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Dobson, reeve of Montague Township.

However, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a change of heart since a meeting of Lanark Council on Wednesday, Sept 18 that Staples attended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I finally heard an explanation of why the other municipalities want to sell it, from what I understand, the site is no longer suitable, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too close to a river, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wetland and the cost of developing it into a landfill would be huge, so if we can verify all that, then I would support the notion of selling it,â&#x20AC;? said Staples.

SAFETY TIPS

w w w. l a n a r k c o u n t y. c a

While many patients with age-related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy, the two leading causes of blindness, were required to travel to Kingston to have vision-saving treatment, they can now stay in the Perth/Smiths Falls area to complete their procedures.

Dr. Sanjay Sharma, an internationally recognized retina specialist has now brought the Macula Clinic to Smiths Falls to conveniently provide retinal care to patients living in Perth/Smiths Falls and surrounding areas.

The macula is the small central part in the back of the eye that allows us to see fine detail. This is important for activities like reading, driving, and face recognition. In both age-related macular degeneration and diabetes, the macula can become very wet with fluid which can ultimately destroy vision. Fortunately these conditions can be treated with medications that are injected into the eye. These injections result in stabilization of vision in 95% of people and significant improvement in nearly half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have heard from our patients that traveling to Kingston for their eye injections was very difficult for them and their family members. While our patients still have to have specialized testing done in Kingston, I believe establishing a Macula Clinic in Smiths Falls provides better care for patients in this and surrounding areasâ&#x20AC;?, says Dr. Sharma, a Professor of Ophthalmology and Epidemiology at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University who completed his training in retinal diseases at Harvard University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These treatments have made a huge impact on the quality of life of our patientsâ&#x20AC;?, says Dr. Sharma who has authored over 200 scientific articles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our research shows that without timely treatment patients can lose vision within a matter of weeks.â&#x20AC;?

Patients in the Brockville and Belleville areas are already benefiting from the presence of having a Macula Clinic in their area. Ms. Daphne Hall, a patient with the wet form of macular degeneration who used to travel to Kingston for her eye injections is benefiting from the procedure done locally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so appreciative of Dr. Sharma and his team coming here. I no longer have to worry about how I am going to get back and forth to Kingston.â&#x20AC;?

All basic systems replaced, New flooring, Woodburning air-tight Sky-lights in LR, Sep Dining room, Large Kitchen, full basement Owner Ready to Go!

If you notice new distortion or sudden vision loss, it is critical that you be urgently assessed by your eye doctor. Timely intervention is the key to retaining and potentially restoring lost vision.

The Macula Clinic located at Perth/Smiths Falls location opens its doors on September 30th, 2013, at 91 Cornelia Street West, Suite 135, Smiths Falls, Ontario.

Fresh faces, new ideas in story at Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce hsorour@perfprint.ca

organization become more integrated into the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with Amy Hogue and the Downtown Business Association on the Healthy Living Festival and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to collaborate on a lot of things going forward,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier.

However she stresses that she has no interest in duplicating work or becoming confused with the DBA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a municipally funded entity whereas we are a member-based organization, we want to ensure that we remain independent but can collaborate on certain projects,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier.

One example she says, is Canada Day. Traditionally, the Chamber applies for funding for the Canada Day celebrations and in the past has simply handed a cheque over to the organizer, but next year Hillier and Stone want to be involved in the planning and execution of the event as well.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to volunteer our time for the event,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier.

In the meantime Hillier and Stone are working hard to reach out to the business community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the process of visiting all our current members and cold calling non-members and setting up meetings or just stopping by in the course of my own shopping to invite them to join the Chamber,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier.

The Chamber of Commerce located adjacent to the Town Hall, is also hoping to persuade all the businesses, service clubs and non-profit organizations to contact them with their upcoming events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an events calendar on our website,â&#x20AC;? said Stone, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like it to become a comprehensive listing of all the events in town - so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking everyone in town to send or call us with any events that are happening - they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a member.â&#x20AC;?

Community-The Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce is getting a new face, literally and figuratively. The organization has acquired two highly energetic and enthusiastic organizers. Melissa Hillier, the new manager just took over in mid September and Liz Stone, the office coordinator joined a few months earlier.

The change had to happen because the previous Chamber manager was about to retire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Melissa was the third person we interviewed for the job,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Saumure, president of the Smiths Falls Chamber, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and she just had all the attributes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a positive attitude, energetic, warm, charismatic and competent.â&#x20AC;?

Barely two weeks at the helm and Hillier who did manage to spend some time learning some of the ropes with her predecessor, is just raring to go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see a lot of opportunity not just in the Chamber of Commerce but also in the town,â&#x20AC;? says Hillier, who moved to Smiths Falls less than five years ago.

Already Hillier has begun to take action, reaching out to the business community to find out what services they want or expect from their Chamber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things we heard was that there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough networking sessions,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we had one in September that was very well attended; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having another one in October at the railway museum and another in November with the Local Immigration Partnership.â&#x20AC;?

The Chamber is encouraging members and even non-members to get in touch and start a new dialogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the businesses in town, if you have any questions, come and see what we can offer our membership and tell us what you want,â&#x20AC;? said Stone.

Hillier, who managed a construction company before joining the Chamber of Photo by HOWAIDA SOROUR Commerce, is now a business owner in In the background, Melissa Hillier is the new manager at the Smiths town. She co-owns, ZenDragon with her partner Brian Nelson and another couple. Falls and District Chamber of Commerce, and Liz Stone is the office coThis Zumba instructor wants to see the ordinator. Both are intent on reaching out to local businesses.

One of the most exciting projects for the organization right now is the possibility of taking over the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitor guide. The premises already serve as the visitor centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently we produce the business directory and the town produces a visitor guide, but there is an opportunity

Businesses can expect to see more of the services the Chamber already offered as well as fresh new ideas as Hillier settles in.

Hair Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Picnic raises more than $4,000 for Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation

By JOSEPH MORIN Joe.morin@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of planning and eight years of hair growing came together at the Hair Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Picnic on Sept.21, when eight-year-old Nefellie and her mother Tina Rogers had their hair shorn off, all for a good cause.

The two were surrounded by more than 50 people, close family and friends, at the Royal Canadian Legion Smiths Falls, Branch 95, Saturday afternoon.

Leading up to the big moment when both mother and daughter, offered their long hair to Locks of Love to be used to fashion wigs for cancer patients, were several fun games for children to play, along with clowns, crafts, music and food.

As the Legion hall filled with people, Tina and Nefellie sat in chairs as their helpers, Linda Hall, Brandy Rogers, Lisa Desalvo and hairdresser Jane Hartin of Hairstylist on Wheels, braided the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair in preparation for cutting it all off.

Nefellie said everything was good, as Hartin braided her hair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was kind of nervous but it is all good,â&#x20AC;? Nefellie said with a big smile. She had little to say about having her hair cut.

The Grade 3 Montague Public School student has been planning for this day for a long time. To help out with the fundraising aspect of the day, which sees all funds going to the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation, Nefellie made scores of dream catchers and pictures to be sold as part of the fundraising event.

Nefellie was able to raise $150 just from her crafts alone.

Tina had cut her hair five years ago along with a friend, for the same cause. Five years ago almost to the day Tina is back at it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had long hair for 15 years,â&#x20AC;? Tina remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had hair past my knees,â&#x20AC;? she said. She remembers wanting to go through what children with cancer had gone through when they lost all of their hair during their treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They live in a hospital room and do not get to go out,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Offering up her hair was one way Tina felt she could really make a difference to these children who most likely were feeling bad about their loss of hair. The other reason to hold a fundraising event was to help out the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that every dollar goes towards children in the Ottawa Valley,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their whole life revolves around being sick. It was something we

could doâ&#x20AC;Ś so why not,â&#x20AC;? she said.

On Saturday afternoon Nefellie charmed everyone around her with her big smile and earnest desire to help others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one told her what to do, this is what she wanted to do,â&#x20AC;? explained Tina.

After Tina and Nefellie had their hair cut, several other children decided to follow their example. Three-year-old Lucius Rogers, Nefellieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little brother thought it was great idea so he jumped into the chair and had his hair cut off as well.

Tina says that without all of the people who volunteered to help the event would not have been as great as it was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have no idea how thankful I was for the volunteers,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Five years ago when Tina Photo by JOE MORIN held the first Hair Bear Picnic she raised $5,000. Nefellie and Tina and Nefellie are getting their hair braided prior to cutting it for Locks for Love. Back Tina are so close to beating that row, left to right are Brandy Rogers, Lisa Desalvo, Linda Hall and Jane Hartin of Hairstylist total this year. They are extendon Wheels. Front row are Tina and Nefellie Rogers. ing the deadline for donations for another few weeks to try and reach their goal.

You can donate to the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation by calling Janet Lee Ferris at 613221-9474 or emailing her at ncr@childrenswish.ca You can also call Tina Rogers directly at 613-206-1373.

Vine Rhymes aims to share gifts through encouragement

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vine Rhymes, a group of songwriters, poets and storytellers from Smiths Falls and area, was formed in February of 2005 and has continued to attract writing enthusiasts of all ages ever since. They provide an opportunity to network and share writing tips from their learning experiences.

Some in the group are seasoned performers while others have yet to venture onto the stage. Although Vine Rhymes exists primarily to offer support and encouragement, these writers and musicians have accepted opportunities on several occasions to present their compositions at local events like Culture Days and the Rural Roots.

Each artist is recognized and respected for their unique gift and contribution to the group. During a typical Vine Rhymes meeting, members discuss their common interests such as working through mental blocks, preparation for publishing or perhaps stage presentation in addition to challenges faced by most writers. One to three topics are given at each meeting and each person is encouraged to write a song or poem with these words in the lyrics. An exciting portion of each meeting is dedicated to presentations of new compositions created from these ideas. Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshops have been both held and attended and involvement with community activities and fundraisers is ongoing.

Although Vine Rhymes is not a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bandâ&#x20AC;? as such, most members are anxious for opportunities to expose their work to the public. Feedback from past events has been positive as audiences listen intently to lyrics never before heard. All ages are welcome and this adds strength and vitality to the group. Their community involvement was apparent when they eagerly participated in fundraisers for the local Food Bank, the Smiths Falls & District Club for Youth and the Chimo Playground Project. In the field of arts and culture, it is anticipated that Vine Rhymes will continue to provide inspiration, support, guidance and encouragement to writers in the area for many years.

Club of Rome discusses waterway joe.morin@metroland.ca

News – Finding ways to bring people together, finding a common thread that all stakeholders in an issue can cling to is a challenge at the best of times.

Members of the Club of Rome, travelling from all corners of the world, gathered in the Village of Merrickville on Saturday, Sept. 21. The get together in the ballroom of the Baldachin Inn was the final meeting in the club’s annual general assembly and conference. The group met in Ottawa Sept. 19 and Sept. 20. The Merrickville meeting was their final one.

The theme of the conference was about understanding the world, all that drives it and the world’s resources, and how everyone can affect the relationship between humanity and the world in which they live. The formal title of the conference and assembly was “Governance of the Commons”.

Topics included looking at how work in the digital world affects us all, how the Internet is governed as it evolves, air quality, employment, just to name a few.

At the Merrickville meeting, how we are looking after our waterways and water in general was the topic. At the same time, the group was looking at how people exchange ideas and share knowledge to reach a common goal.

Along with about 40 Club of Rome members from as far away as South America and Europe were members of the Canadian Association of the Club of Rome, (CACOR). Mary Hegan was the moderator for the meeting. She is a member of CACOR and lives in Burritts Rapids. “The discussions were really interesting and helpful,” said Hegan.

The get together featured a panel made up of Merrickville Wolford Mayor Doug Struthers who also chairs the Steering Committee for the Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy; Rick Findlay, vice chair of the board of directors of the Canadian Water Network and a CACOR member; Silvia Zimmermann del Castillo, an Argentinean writer; and Peter Au who helped to establish the Rideau Environmental Action League and the Rideau Roundtable.

“There were presentations about what other people were doing about their own water issues,” explained Hegan.

Struthers described the work being done to plan for the future of the Rideau Canal. He explained that the Rideau River is part of the Rideau Canal, a Canadian Heritage River and historic canal operated by Parks Canada.

Looking after the designation of the Rideau River as a World Heritage Site has created the need for a committee which is trying to get all 13 municipalities that the Rideau River runs through on the same page. The Steering Committee for the Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy has had some success over the past two years in getting all of the stakeholders on side when it comes to protecting the heritage status. That success was what the Club of Rome members were interested in.

Mayor Struthers described the challenges in getting the Rideau Canal issues listened to by other agencies. There are 13 municipalities with approval authority over local land use planning and development, plus three upper-tier levels. There

are eight-plus provincial ministries and two conservation authorities focused on land use planning, natural environment, cultural heritage, mining capacity, transportation, agriculture, water quality and tourism.

There are three federal agencies with responsibility for federal lands – Parks Canada, the National Capital Commission and the Department of National Defence. Added to the mix are several active not-for-profit groups and organizations, citizens groups and countless private property owners and businesses.

The steering committee has a five-year implementation plan it is following. The plans go off into the future with 2018 as a completion date. Everything from looking at regulations about canal use to guidelines for building and site design is included in the list of projects included in the plan.

“We wanted a made-at-home governance model,” said Struthers.

“We will keep in touch,” said Hegan, explaining the whole point in coming out to Merrickville was to apply the various ideas of how to work together.

Struthers felt the meeting was a success.

“You could see the lights turning on,” he said, referring to how the club members began to understand how the stakeholders of the Rideau River had managed to come up with a plan on which everyone could agree. “It shows you can have a governance strategy that can deliver a concept,” he said.

The challenge back in 2010 when the landscape strategy was created was trying to understand where residents wanted to go in terms of the future of the canal and how they were going to get there.

Peter Au, chair of the Rideau Roundtable, said, “It was good that we had a lot of people there talking about local issues.”

The retired high school science teacher stressed the need for people to actually listen to each other.

He felt that the future of the Rideau Canal and its historical designation could not be left solely in the hands of Parks Canada. He said due to the economy, Parks Canada may not be able to carry the load it has traditionally carried. Au saw the Club of Rome meeting as an opportunity to shine a light on the changing nature of the Rideau Canal.

“We have to find out what we need to do and then do it,” he said.

He mentioned the four pillars that hold up a society – economy, environment, culture and a wellbalanced social wellbeing. He said that without all of those pillars being in place it would be difficult to expect solutions that would work in the future.

The Club of Rome In April of 1968, Aurelio Peccei, an Italian industrialist along with Alexander Kink, a British scientist and some 30 other scientists, educators, industrialists and international civil servants, gathered in Rome to share their concerns about global problems which they named the Global Problématique the predicament of humankind. Out of this meeting they founded the Club of Rome.

The Canadian Association of the Club of Rome was created in 1974 and was one of the first of more than 20 National Associations in the world whose members have interests in common with the Club of Rome.

Sports – The Smiths Falls Bears earned two big wins in Central Canada Hockey League action with a come-from-behind decision over Kemptville Friday at home and a 5-2 victory in Brockville Sunday afternoon.

After trailing by three at the end of the first period Friday night, the Bears gained some composure and registered four quick goals in the second to put themselves back in the game, giving the 602 fans plenty to cheer about.

“It showed good character to come back like they did,” said Walt Dubas, the Bears assistant coach. “Coming out of the weekend with two big wins was definitely what we needed.”

Dubas said the coaching staff was not impressed with the start of the Friday game.

“They didn’t come to play,” he said. “But we were extremely happy to see them come back like they did.”

Unlike the old movies where coaches were noted for their unsavoury locker room tactics, Dubas said they all knew what they had to do to get back in the game… “they just did it.”

Sunday, it was more of a fast-paced game, something the Bears are known for – their quickness.

“It was a more complete effort,” Dubas noted. “It was a fast up-tempo game. Some penalties were killed off… the penalty killing has been outstanding.”

SMITHS FALLS 6 KEMPTVILLE 5 (OT) Dean Galasso scored twice and Jonathon Masters added one for the 73’s as they took an early 3-0 lead after the first period Friday night.

The second period opened with Jonathan Charbonneau shoveling in a Daniele Disipio feed, who was also helped out by Neil Doef at the 2:09 mark.

From the faceoff that followed, Ben Beasley scooped in a backhander as he and Nic Marchand made it look easy on a two-on-one deal as the Bears lit the lamp just 14 seconds later.

Then at the 6:23 mark, Karson McCartney tied the game with help from Domenic Camastra and Victor Beaulac.

Brandon Lesway had the go-ahead marker with 12:43 showing, assisted by Costello.

Kemptville gave the 73’s the 4-4 tying shot with his goal at the 14:09 mark to end the period tied.

In the final frame, a power play goal gave Kemptville a 5-4 lead with 10:55 on the clock.

Smiths Falls pulled out all the stops in the dying seconds of the game with the extra attacker on the ice as Stefano Momesso scored to force the OT. Alek Deblois had the winner with 1:48 in the fourth assisted by Beaulac to end it on a 6-5 note.

Michael Pinios earned the win in the crease, with Nicholas Hodgins getting 4:07 minutes of playing time. Jacob Tugnutt was in the Kemptville nets and tagged with the loss.

Referee Scott Loney whistled 38 minutes on 11 minor infractions to the Bears, while Kemptville had 18 minutes of minors.

Women’s university hockey comes to Smiths Falls Memorial Centre

By JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com

Sports - Hockey fans in Smiths Falls were treated to a great match-up on the weekend as the University of McGill Martlets took on the Queen’s University Gaels in a pre-season game that showcased the talent of these two teams. The game was presented by the Town of Smiths Falls and the Smiths Falls Girls Hockey Association.

The two women’s teams are members of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) women’s hockey leagues.

The game was fast and for the most part clean as the two teams matched each other stride for stride. The precise defensive moves from both sides of the blue line made for a close game. McGill took the game 2-1.

Ironically McGill’s first goal in the latter half of the first period was a puck that was defected past Queens’s goalie Mel Dodd-Moher. The puck had been fired in from the right side of the circle

by Chelsey Saunders. An alert Gaels player intercepted the puck as it went by the right corner of the net only to have it slide off her stick and into the net with Dodd-Moher looking the other way.

Despite the disappointing play the Gaels took the puck right back up the ice in one of many attempts to get the puck past the Martlets goalie Taylor Hough.

Queen’s evened the score in the second period. They beat the McGill defenders to the net and slapped in a rebound.

Mid-way through the third period Chelsey Saunders capitalized on a clever passing play and one-timed the puck past Dodd-Moher.

For her efforts Saunders was awarded the first star of the game.

The pre-season showdown was arranged by several people including Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples and Community Ambassador/personal trainer Jamie Schoular who took part in the ceremonial face-off. Also on hand for the face-off was Smiths Falls native Amey Doyle.

Amey is a McGill physical education graduate, a former all-star Martlet goaltender and has served as an assistant coach with the team since 2002. During her time in the nets she had a 22-3-1 lifetime record. She also served as the interim coach of the Martlets in 20092010 when coach Peter Smith assumed duties with Canada’s Olympic team.

“I was thrilled to help organize this game with Jamie Schoular and the Smiths Falls Girls Minor Hockey Association,” said Doyle.

“I have been involved with McGill hockey since 1997 and have dreamed about bringing the team to Smiths Falls to show girls in our area just how great CIS women’s hockey is,” she said.

The veteran hockey player and coach explained that the game gave families and players in the Cubs organization a chance to see just where they could one day end up if they work hard and develop.

“Scholarships are available for many young female hockey players and most families don’t know how to get the information or who to ask,” she said.

The pre-season game had lessons for both teams. “From a McGill coaching standpoint, we were happy with the outcome of the game,” said Doyle.

“We felt we got off to a bit of a slow start. McGill played versus Laurier at McGill the night before, so the players

Having back-to-back games in the preseason is critical, so that the players know how their bodies will react,” she said.

The McGill Martlets have been National Champions three years in the last six and are determined to bounce back from an upset loss last year in the Quebec fi-

nals. McGill plays on average 10 NCAA (USA teams) exhibition games and will head to Providence, Rhode Island this weekend to play against Providence College and Northeastern University.

Doyle runs a hockey development company called Doyle Hockey Development that specializes in female hock-

ey development.

“I am working now on plans to come to Smiths Falls and the surrounding area including Kemptville in the upcoming season to run development sessions with the players. Visit Doyle’s website at www.doylehockeydev.com for more information.

Operation Christmas Child’s shoebox presents help children in need worldwide Community – Children in developing countries receive a touch of Christmas through Operation Christmas Child. A simple shoebox will brighten the life of an underprivileged child and show them that someone in another part of the world cares about their happiness.

Last year, Operation Christmas Child reached the milestone of delivering to children around the world 103,720,570 boxes collected worldwide since 1993.

The Canadian total given for 2012 was 662,312 with Ontario residents contributing 255,661.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse and is the largest Christmas project of its kind. Shoebox gifts are given to children suffering in war, poverty, famine, disease and natural disaster, regardless of race, gender, religion or ethnicity. Through the giving of this simple gift and message of hope, these young and often forgotten survivors learn they are loved.

Samaritan’s Purse also provides disaster relief in countries around the world that are in need including Canada. They respond to humanitarian crises with physical aid and a message of hope. In Canada, their Disaster Response Units, several tractor trailers outfitted with generators, pumps, hand tools, and safety gear, equip staff and volunteers to help in a tangible way for Canadians in need. In central Ontario, heavy rains and melting ice and snow created a devastating combination.

Samaritan’s Purse helped homeowners clean out and prepare their homes for rebuild when several communities in the Muskoka region were forced to declare states of emergency.

In southern Alberta, record river levels and melting snow from the Rocky Mountains combined with heavy rainfall to produce major floods in the city of Calgary as well as other southern Alberta communities. Three Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Relief Units and multi-

tudes of volunteers responded to help affected communities.

Samaritan’s Purse works in more than 100 countries worldwide, enabling them to take Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to many places.

Though they distribute boxes in those countries where they are working, if they are invited to bring boxes to other countries they will respond. Canadian boxes are usually sent to West Africa, Central America, and South America, as well as Haiti; and when requested, to other countries where, because of natural disasters or unexpected events, the shoe boxes are a powerful message of hope. Samaritan’s Purse also provides food, clothing, blankets, shelter, clean water, sleeping bags, medical supplies and hospital equipment.

Filling a gift-filled shoe box is something personal that a Canadian can do to let a child, who has suffered greatly, know that he or she is valued. For many children, the shoebox is the only gift they have ever received, something many of us find hard to imagine, Operation Christmas Child brings hope for today, and Samaritan’s Purse provides resources for a better tomorrow.

This year, the boxes will be shipped to Argentina, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Haiti.

What gifts go in the shoeboxes?

• Toys: stuffed animals, dolls, building blocks, balls, small cars, musical items (harmonica, whistles, etc.)

• School supplies: pens, pencils, sharpeners, crayons, coloured pencils, erasers, notebooks, colouring books, solar calculators • Hygiene products: toothbrushes (customs will not allow toothpaste), soap (placed in a plastic bag), hair brushes, combs, hair clips and acces-

sories, small towels, etc.

• Other: individually wrapped hard candy in a sealable bag, clothing (Tshirts, socks, hats, gloves and scarfs), sunglasses, flip flops, toy jewelry or lightweight tools.

• A personal note and/or a photo of yourself or your family is appreciated by the child receiving the box. Choose to pack your box for a girl or boy, ages two to four, five to nine, or 10 to 14.

The $7 that is suggested you include, if you are able, is to help with the shipping of the boxes. You may receive a thank you letter from one of these precious children as others have in previous years.

In Cuya, Guatemala, a single mother was crying as she thanked the Operation Christmas Child team for the gifts they brought to their community, especially the gift for her daughter. In her daughter’s shoebox was a pair of shoes which went perfectly with her school uniform. The mother had not known how she was going to afford to buy the shoes before the school year started, as she couldn’t find enough work to pay for them. Another young child in Africa with a gift of drawing but could not buy the supplies he needed received a box from a generous Canadian family who had filled it with materials that he could be used to continue his drawing.

These boxes do make a great difference in children’s lives! Not only do they show that they haven’t been forgotten, but often are the answer to some physical need in their life. We are very fortunate to live in a country where help is available if we are in need but in these countries there is no help available. They have to scrape by with the bare necessities never being able to give their children those things that bring that special smile to their faces.

What should be in a hunter’s backpack?

• a reliable source of fire; • a whistle; • a compass with a map of the area; • a GPS with spare batteries; • a flashlight; • a small survival kit (sold in big box stores, the size of a tin of sardines); • a small first-aid kit; • rope; • brass wire (for building a shelter or a snare); • an orange garbage bag; • a water bottle; • trail marking tape.

If the weather is cold, bring along a small thermos with a hot drink, and don’t forget a few energy bars or a snack. This pack should

be with you every time you step out into the bush. Think of it not as your suitcase, but as your survival kit; you should always have with you the basics you’d need to stay warm and protected if you ever lost your way or got injured and couldn’t walk out.

Every time you go hunting, tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back. Ensure that you contact this person in case of delay, either by cell or satellite phone or with the new satellite messenger technology, called “SPOT”. It is also recommended that hunters complete a first aid and survival course before venturing into the wilderness. Happy hunting!

One of the most important pieces of equipment for hunters is a well-packed backpack or shoulder bag. Loaded with a few select essentials, it should be taken every time you go scouting or hunting. Be sure to choose a pack that is comfortable, weatherproof, and noiseless (doesn’t make swooshing sounds as you walk). Waterproof camouflage fabric is preferable but not essential.

The extras you pack may depend on the distance you have to cover between your vehicle and your camp, but some articles should always stay in the pack. Here is a basic list of the items to be included: • a multi-purpose tool with a blade and small saw; • a survival blanket;

Three things to master As deer hunting season approaches, you’re likely beginning to feel the itch. This is a good time to review the secrets to a successful deer hunt. Sure, hunting’s not something you learn by the book, but better to brush up on theory than have to eat your pride with an empty freezer this fall.

Taking care of details can make all the difference between returning home empty-handed or with pride written all over your face.

SCENT A deer’s first line of defense is its sense of smell, so take every precaution to mask your own scents. A scent eliminator can be used on your clothes to remove any odors except for those present in the surrounding environment.

Know how to take advantage of the wind by deciding which way it is blowing and where your game is travelling from before you set up your stand or blind.

Pay careful attention to the lubricants that you use on your weapons.

SOUND Deer have a very well developed sense of hearing, and any unusual noise can

startle them before you have a chance to shoot.

Be sure to minimize any abnormal sounds coming from your stand or blind that could give you away. Wear a safety vest made of fabric rather than noisy vinyl or plastic.

MOVEMENT A deer does not use its vision as much at its A good hunter always carries a sense of smell and hearing, but it is still a fac- backpack that contains a few estor that should not be neglected.

Ultimate anti-hero rules the big screen once again MOVIE: Riddick: Rule the Dark STARRING: Vin Diesel, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff and Dave Bautista DIRECTOR: David Twohy RATING: PG Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of interesting to be cheering for the murderous psychopath. Though I suppose that was always the charm of the Riddick films.

Betrayed by the Necromongers Riddick (Vin Diesel) is left for dead on a strange and harsh world. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of planet where death waits for the unwary. In other words Riddick is right at home.

Riddick claws his way back from the brink of death. Then he claws his way to the top of the food chain. Eventually he finds a mercenary outpost, and sends out a distress call making sure anyone who hears it knows who sent it. Then he waits.

It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before two mercenary groups show up. The

My Take MARK HASKINS

first rag tag group, led by Santana (Jordi Molla), is only interested in killing Riddick and claiming the reward. The second more disciplined team, led

by Boss Johns (Matt Nable), seems to be after something else. Riddick doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what they want.

All he wants is one of their ships, and as long as they give it to him he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kill them all.

Neither group is about to give up a ship, but Riddick knows something they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

He knows the rains are coming, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen what the rains bring. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get off this planet before the storm hits no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting off.

Riddick: Rule the Dark takes us right back to the beginning.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riddick versus the monsters in a battle that completely recaptures the intensity and thrill of the first film.

It has those same elements of horror, action and that same twisted humour. Of course this time around weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all well acquainted with the character of Riddick so the fun here is watching him do what he does best. You almost feel sorry for the mercs.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty decent cast set up to be fodder for Riddick.

Jordi Molla opens things up nicely as Santana. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to play the kind of a psychopath that makes Riddick seem a

hero and provide comic relief, but Molla does an excellent job. Matt Nable does a fair job of portraying the straight and narrow soldier, and Dave Bautista provides a great climactic fight scenes. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Katee Sackhoff who plays Dahl.

She steals her fair share of the spotlight with some great lines and a mean right hook.

Of course this is really the Vin Diesel show. Riddick is one of the great anti-heroes, and I love the way Diesel plays him. When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in character everything about him becomes dangerous. In this third installment Diesel hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost a step or that air of menace.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a doubt that Riddick is the most dangerous thing in the dark.

Riddick is a slick film that gets back to its roots while it opens up possibilities for the future. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the next one.

Mark Haskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Now living in Ireland, Marcus is bringing a new show combining the talents of Irish dancer Tara Brandel and Marcusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own performance talent in a two part show called Gawky And Awkward/Unicorn With a Cape.

And, BarnDoor Productions is beginning the casting for their Christmas musical, The Gifts of the Magi, a funny, fun and moving holiday tale. Also on the books are a number of musical concerts and more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just in the first half of the season!

Following that closely, the Perth Community Choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 33rd annual fall musical returns to Full Circle Theatre on Nov. 7, this time with the beautiful and wonderfully musical The Secret Garden.

The musical won the Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Score in 1980, combining a soaring score with a heartwarming story. The Secret Garden is a favourite with those who know it, and is sure to become a favourite with those who have the chance to see it this November.

2 Women Productions is also returning for a third season of grown-up storytelling at FCT, with their fall show set for Nov. 23. In the past, their productions have included international performers, stories from

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 2013-2014 season at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre (FCT) kicked off this Wednesday (Sept. 25) with a true-tolife adventure story when Film Night International (FiNI) returns to FCT for their third season at the ground-level, barrierfree theatre.

The first event of FiNIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season is Kon Tiki, the story of adventurer Thor Heyerdahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epic 1947 voyage from South America to Polynesia on a balsawood craft. Tickets are available at the door or at the Perth Public Library.

The cinema season continues with events through May of 2014.

Meanwhile, the community theatre scene is preparing some adventure of their own, with BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 19th season opening on Oct. 18 with The 39 Steps, the longest running Broadway play of the 2000s. The comedy spy spoof is based on Alfred Hitchockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1936 movie, which is in turn based on John Buchanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1915

DEATH NOTICE

KING John Kenneth (Retired Almonte doctor passes away) Our dear father passed away on September 22, 2013, at the age of 84 on the Rosamond Wing of the Almonte General Hospital following complications due to a stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Born in Moncton, N.B., April 8, 1929, son of the late John and Pearl King, twin brother to Barry, Jean and the late Dorothy King. He was the beloved husband to Alma (nee Cooley) for 58 years and the father to John (Marilyn), Tim (Pam) and Heather (David). Dad graduated from UNB in 1950 with his BSc in Biology and from McGill in 1954 where he obtained his medical degree.

John interned (general surgery) for five years in Montreal and Saint John, New Brunswick. A request for a locum from Dr. R. Bach brought Dad to Almonte, in 1959. A one year locum turned into 47 years of medical practice and devotion to the people of Almonte. We are convinced that if Dad were not faced by the challenges of Alzheimer’s that he would still be practicing medicine today.

Dad was an accomplished athlete in many sports, excelling in track and rugby and was inducted into the Fredericton Sports Wall of Fame in 1999 along with his relay team that won the Canadian Championship in 1947. Even when Dad was not working directly with his patients he was involved in charity work through the Masons (Mississippi Lodge No. 147) and the Knights Templar in Alymer for 40 years. Dad’s intellectual mind, sense of humour, his caring and compassionate manner impacted many lives over the span of his life.

Family and Friends Celebrated Dad’s Life at C. R. GAMBLE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL INC. 127 Church St., Almonte, ON. 613-256-3313 on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 from 11am to 1pm. Celebration of Life occurred the same day in the Chapel at 1pm. Reception followed in the Comba Suite of Gamble Funeral Home. Private family inurnment.

A special thanks goes out to all the staff at the Rosamond Wing in Almonte who made Dad’s last days peaceful and who were an incredible support to our family.

Thank-you to Dr. H. Abramenko for her medical attention over the years and to a special care-giver, Nancy Munro who has been a tremendous help to our family.

If desired, John’s family would appreciate memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Society.

Ten years without you have been hard.

You were the first man that I loved, You were my first and only hero.

I loved you for all your hard work and long hours so you could take care of our family, I loved you for the many times you were there for me when I needed you, I loved how I could tell that it was you anywhere just by hearing you whistling your tunes, I loved all your great stories and adventures about your life that you shared with everyone, I loved the sound of your deep, hearty belly laugh, I loved you for trying so hard to make me feel better after Ken passed away, I loved you for being there for Mom when she was sick and for always loving her, I loved you for being my Dad! Ten years without you have been hard.

Missing you every day, Love Sandra xxxooo

In loving memory of a dear dad and grandpa who passed away September 27, 2011.

COE, Charlie In loving memory of my dear husband, Charlie, who passed away September 27, 2011.

In tears we saw you sinking, And watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again?

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

We made our vows together, And said â&#x20AC;&#x153;till death do we partâ&#x20AC;?

So when God came and took your hand, My whole life fell apart.

No one knows the heartache, I try so hard to hide, No one knows how many times, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve broken down and cried.

When I look back upon our lives, Just one thing makes me glad, That you chose me to share with you, The precious years we had.

We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family

Learn about computers, Internet at Algonquin College Perth Campus Community – If you’ve always struggled to find files in your computer or to email pictures to your grandchildren in Calgary, now’s the time to learn how to navigate through your computer and be a confident user of the Internet.

The Algonquin College Perth Campus will host computer and Internet courses this fall, as part of its fall 2013 Continuing Education program.

From Computers for Beginners to Internet: Beyond the Basics, there are four mini-courses scheduled to allow participants to get a full understanding of the course content without having to commit to an extended period of time.

Algonquin College Perth Campus instructors Tanya Gray and Anita Warwick-Wall are well versed in computers and they make the learning process fun, ultimately eliminat-

ing the intimidation factor.

“When students first come to class, they’re often worried they won’t be able to keep up,” explains Gray. “So it’s really gratifying to see them navigate confidently through the computer system and around the Internet by the time we’re wrapping up the course.”

New this year is the computer help workshops, which take place Sept. 30 and Nov. 18. The college is hosting these two separate workshops this

fall, allowing up to 12 participants to register and get one-on-one guidance from an instructor on specific questions related to their own computer and needs. Participants will be able to email their questions ahead of time and the two-hour session will be the perfect opportunity to get their questions answered.

For community members who want to build up their resumé, they can enroll in the Microsoft Office courses

scheduled for this fall. The courses include Microsoft Office for Beginners, Microsoft Office Advanced and Microsoft PowerPoint.

The Continuing Education courses are offered to anyone over 18 years of age and registration is now open.

Ready to register? Visit the Algonquin College Perth Campus website at algonquincollege.com/perth.

Shoreline stewardship manager serves Westport and Area Fall Colours as guest speaker at Oct. 2 RLHS meeting Studio Tour unfolds Oct. 12 to 14

By YVONNE HELWIG

Community – A shoreline stewardship manager with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is the guest speaker at the Oct. 2 meeting of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society. Andrea Kymko’s presentation will cover the importance of natural shorelines and ways to protect water quality while limiting shoreline erosion. As well, she will discuss how to establish a shoreline buffer using native plants.

Kymko has a Bachelor of Science from Trent University with a joint major in Biology and Environmental Science. She started with RVCA in 2006 as a conser-

vation lands technician, and soon moved into managing the lake planning program.

In this capacity, she actively partners with local lake associations and other government agencies throughout eastern Ontario to develop community action plans on shoreline stewardship.

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society meetings are the first Wednesday of the month at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall (24 Water Street, Portland). Admission is free to society members ($15 annually for 9 meetings a year) and $5 a meeting for non-members.

Refreshments and door prizes are provided following the guest speaker.

Tickets to the society’s annual Christmas dinner, open to anyone, will also be on sale at the Oct. 2 meeting.

The dinner is Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 6 p.m. at the Westport Legion. The $25 ticket includes hors d’oeuvres, turkey dinner, dessert and beverages, as well as entertainment by the Celtic Combo. Tickets are also available through Janette Berry at 613-273-3560 or janby@googley. net.

For more information about upcoming and past society events, make sure to bookmark the website: www.gardenontario.org/site. php/rideaulakes.
