Residents urge swift action for Atironto water loss repairs Stacey Roy

Randy Normandin is a familiar face around the Smiths Falls Fire Department. The veteran firefighter has recently been named fire prevention officer for the town.

News - From his youngest recollections, Randy Normandin has wanted to put on his firefighting suit and serve his community. His new role as fire prevention officer for Smiths Falls takes this
dedication to another level. Normandin officially traded in his full-time firefighting uniform for the fire prevention officer’s role Oct. 6, 2014, just in time to take part in Fire Prevention Week this year. “It went well,” Normandin said. “It’s
amazing to see the response from the kids. They are taking the message home.” The new prevention officer remembers being one of those enthusiastic kids. See PREVENTION page SF2
News – Ongoing research efforts by Montague Township staff and council to establish next steps in dealing with the water loss in the Atironto area is not as swift, residents say, as the 18 gallons of water per minute that is currently being lost by the aged system. “I don’t know what they’re going to do, but they’ve got to do something before winter,” said Noreen Lavier, Atironto resident. “They should have started the next day.” Montague Township received a sounding report by Echologics on Aug. 28, 2014, which was the subject of discussion at a packed council session Oct. 7 where council directed staff to present another report to them detailing the various next-step options with pros and cons and cost implications. “We really, truly are trying to do everything possible,” said Reeve Bill Dobson. “We’re trying to be proactive.” The concern for staff is deciphering where the problem lies: be it under the ground or in a computer. Glenn Barnes, CAO of the township, said Montague staff members are currently reviewing the data output of the water meters put in by the current council in 2012 to see if there may be a computer error in how the information is collected. “There are no peaks and valleys” in the recorded water loss, Barnes added of further study. “Maybe it’s in the math;
maybe we don’t need them at all.” Dobson was quick to point out that little is known for certain in this situation. “There has been no leak found yet,” he said. The consistent nature of the data received does raise questions of a leak existing at all; however, Echologics’ report recommends further inspection, stating: “A leak in the water main is the suspected cause.” Barnes said staff inquiries into echo logics record found them to be on the leading edge in sounding work, according to the Ontario Good Water Association. Echo logics report goes so far as to pinpoint an area 40 feet from the plug at the end of the pipe on Fifth Street as the area of greatest likelihood for a leak. Lavier lives on this street and feels the township should heed the advice of echo logics and move forward with resolving the issue. “I think they should get at it and fix it,” Lavier added. “This, to me, is priority.” Barnes and council seem to agree as Barnes states: “Whatever method we go with let’s attack where the point of interest is,” confirming he is speaking of Fifth Street. The report suggests trenching the area or using ‘potholes’ to try and narrow See ATIRONTO page SF2

CDSBEO establishes energy conservation and demand management plan
EQAO results and students with spe-
cial education needs Director of Education, William J. Gartland, shared with the board the CDSBEO EQAO results. “The results are certainly a positive comment on the work our teachers and support staff carry out,” noted Gartland. A particular highlight for the CDSBEO was the successful results of students with special education needs. Dr. Donaleen Hawes, superintendent of school effectiveness, noted that for grades 3 and 6, board students performed well above the provincial average in all
assessments. For grade 3, 61 per cent of students met or exceeded the provincial standard (province – 40 per cent). For the grade 6 results, 66 per cent of students with special education needs met or exceeded the provincial standard (province – 47 per cent). For the grade 9 mathematics assessment, 60 per cent of students with special education needs met or exceeded the provincial standard (province – 37 per cent). For the grade ten Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test results, 33 per cent
met or exceeded the provincial standard Métis and Inuit peoples. (province – 18 per cent).

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) board meeting held Oct. 7 at the board office in Kemptville. The energy conservation and demand management plan has been established to support the reduction of energy consumption across the board. The plan is an overview of all related energy concepts and practices that are currently in place, and fulfils the reporting requirements for the Green Energy Act (Ontario Regulation 397/11). Bonnie Norton, superintendent of business, outlined for the board some of the initiatives in place throughout CDSBEO facilities. “The plan provides a framework for conserving energy and operating sustainable efficient facilities,” explained Norton. “The goal is to raise the profile of energy conservation throughout the system, demonstrate leadership in energy conservation and effectively manage the use of energy in all facilities. Where necessary, the board will take steps to reduce consumption so as to meet or exceed provincial standards.” The CDSBEO reports energy consumption to the Ministry of Energy each July for all facilities and posts the information publicly. The board is slightly below the provincial average for indexed energy consumption. In 2010, an audit was conducted which detailed, independent energy reports for all facilities. These reports provide a framework for possible energy efficiency upgrades, specifically targeting projects with an attractive payback period. “When designing, constructing and renovating spaces, the board uses a number of strategies to ensure energy efficiency,” noted Norton. “Heating and cooling systems are energy efficient and automated through computers. Lighting is also efficient, using T8, T5 or LED technology, and in some cases sensors.” In addition, modern low flow plumbing fixtures, energy efficient windows and curtain walls, and increased insulation values are use in all new or renovated facilities. The board has been working on energy efficiency projects over the last four years, upgrading lighting and mechanical systems, and installing new energy efficient windows at board facilities. Several renewable energy solar projects have also been implemented with funding received from the Ministry under a special grant. Power generated from the three solar installations, housed at St. John Catholic High School (CHS), St. Michael CHS and St. Thomas Aquinas CHS, currently create revenue of approximately $2,500 a month for the board. “The projects also help to engage staff and students to develop a culture of conservation,” noted Norton. “People can go online and track the solar panels performance, and statistics in real time. This creates interesting educational opportunities to learn about renewable resources.”

Build-a-Mountain of Food vows Merrickville reboot, new Santa Claus float for 2014 Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Go tell it on the mountain – and while you’re up there, bring a few canned goods with you. The Build-A-Mountain of Food campaign kick-off was held at Jamesons’ Chinese Restaurant and Buffet in Perth on Wednesday, Oct. 8 and seated before chief organizer Hugh Colton was a group of people he called “a great team.” Indeed, as the campaign has grown over the years, so too have the numbers of volunteers. And, sadly, so too has the need for donated food. In 2013, the campaign collected more than 102,690 lbs of food, and $40,789 in cash. This is the eighth year of the program and, in that time, the drive has collected more than 300,000 lbs of food and more than $143,000 in cash. While the room was full of worthy volunteers, both old and new, Colton singled out Tony Hendriks who, every

Colton urged the newer members to look to older members for advice. “If you have a question, these people are oiled, they are ready to go,” said Colton. He also encouraged organizers to “drop in and see your grocery stores, even just to say hi,” before your campaign day comes up, he advised. “Then they put a name and a face to the local food bank. It is more personal…it’s just a good thing to do.” He added, half jokingly that, by doing so, “it makes it easier for me!

12 student Joshua MacMillan, presented insight on the experiences of the group to the board of trustees. In collaboration with Sandy Lake Board of Education, Deschamps and Hutt worked to make this opportunity a reality. “Our focus was on making connections with, and learning from the people of Sandy Lake,” explained Deschamps. “Community Elder, Eddie Fiddler, spoke to us about stereotypes and the influences of the media on perspective. He reminded us to dispel any preconceptions we might have and to simply understand his people. The people of Sandy Lake willingly shared with us, and we learned the importance of connecting with people, of being good listeners, of hearing their stories, and of knowing them as we know ourselves.” The group learned about the challenges of living on a fly-in reserve, far from common services and resources. In addition, they saw firsthand the issues the community deals with regarding medical care, nutrition, diabetes, and addiction. On the reserve, students are able to attend school until grade ten, however grades 11 and 12 must be attended off of the reserve, and many learners choose not to leave home to complete school. Engagement of students is a challenge, and the group tried to connect with youth, engage in sports and dialogue about school with them. “Through a financial literacy learning experience, we visited the community’s large variety store to investigate the realities of eating

Learn about your school board trustee
E
ditorial – On Oct. 27, not only will you be voting in a new municipal council, but you will also be asked to vote for your school board trustee, be that in the Upper Canada District School Board, or the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. You will have a chance to vote for French and English boards depending on your area – almost 700 school board trustees across Ontario. A vote for a trustee not only means that education matters, but that you want to help make a difference in your community by voting in the trustee that best suits your needs. According to the Elections Canada website for school board trustees, those who are representing the French and English-speaking students are the members of the district school board. They are locally-elected representatives of the public, and they are the community’s advocate for public education. They are required to carry out their responsibilities in a manner that assists the board in fulfilling its duties under the Education Act. Trustees focus on achievements of students and their well-being. They also participate in decision-making that benefits the board area as they represent the best interests of their constituents. Trustees also act as liaisons between the board and the students/parents.

outside would change again. I knew without a doubt that the smoke from the cook stove was different once the colder weather came. At no other time of the year did I notice the wonderful smell of burning logs as I watched the smoke curl above the roof of the house. And I would wonder why. When I went into the barns at night, they certainly didn’t smell like they did in the heat of the summer. The cows gave off a warmth and it filled the barn, and the aroma of the hay from the loft wafted down. Even the straw in each stall had what I called a cold weather smell. When I mentioned this to my sister Audrey, she said it was just my imagination playing tricks on me…all in my head, she said. The inside of our house smelled different too. The windows were shut tight, and trapped inside were the smells of gum rubbers, propped against the woodbox beside the

The trustee has many jobs. They are responsible for setting needs and priorities of their students, which reflect the educational opportunities that are available. To do this, trustees have to mediate sometimes – it’s not always a cut-and-dry situation. They make decisions about the school board’s budget. They create programs to fit the needs of the community and they even help make decisions about how to spend money they receive from the province – anything from the hiring of teachers, to building new schools and closing older ones. A trustee must do this in collaboration with the other members of the school board by developing policies that work for all students, and ensuring they are implemented effectively. No one trustee can make a blanket decision about how your child is taught or how action is taken when needed. The entire board makes that by placing the student first. School board trustees, like municipal councillors, are vital in the democracy chain. By voting for a trustee, you have a say in the decisions your school board makes and that those views are heard by your board. Before you vote, check out your candidates by visiting www.elections.ontarioschooltrustees.org. Make your voice heard.

Findlay Oval, and the musty smell of winter coats hanging at the back door. And I could smell wool. Everywhere there was wool…in the hats and mitts at the ready for the winter in a basket under the bake table, there was wool. Certainly, these things were nowhere to be seen in the summer! So how could my sister Audrey say it was all in my head? I would wonder why she too didn’t notice the smell of fall. By the time we were well into October, Mother would have put out the braided rugs that had spent the summer rolled up in layers of the Ren-
sports for Grades 7 and 8 students in the 2012-2013 school year. This year, the league will offer UCDSB students regional and cup events in: cross country, Grades 4-8; soccer, Grades 7-8; volleyball, Grades 7-8 and 9-12; basketball, Grades 7-8 and 9-12; and track and field, Grades 7-8. Ferguson, the principal at Almonte and District High School, said several benefits flow from board students participating in the league.
“We want our kids to be physically active and this allows them to do that,” said Ferguson of the value of the league. “We find that kids who participate in team sports experience increased academic performance and a general sense of well-being. And in my experience as a principal, I see incidence of bullying decrease when kids are part of a team.” The program also offers an equal chance for all students to participate, regardless of loca-

There would be the faint aroma of wool and from the papers, and they would add to that special tinge to my nose that told me the season had changed…the smells of summer were gone, and the smells of fall were around me. By that time of year, our summer clothes would be changed to warmer skirts and sweaters. They had been packed away in a trunk over the hot weather, with hands full of mothballs scattered between the layers. It mattered not how long Mother hung each piece out on
the clothesline, she was never able to completely get rid of the smell of the mothballs. They too had the smell of fall. So, it mattered not how much my older and wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head. I knew without a doubt, this time of year there was a special smell all around me. It came in gusts outside, and hung inside our old log house, and stayed in my nostrils, bringing me a special feeling of warmth and contentment. At that young age, I decided it was my favourite time of the year. There was no doubt about it. Fall had come at last… hadn’t my nose told me so?
tion, as well as a high level of sports experience, said Ferguson. The league has provided coaching certification clinics to staff members in basketball, volleyball and sports program design and nutrition. The board will also run a Grades 4-6 athletic summit

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions
Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

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

Lanark County council puts funds behind tourism association cycling map News – The following are highlights from the special Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, Oct. 8. Council has approved a motion to support the Lanark County Tourism Association’s request for joint project funds in the amount of $7,000. The economic development committee made the recommendation following a presentation at its meeting last month. Jeff Mills, who is cochair of Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month and an advisory committee member with Ontario By Bike and Share the Road, along with Bob Mingie, president of the Lanark County Tourism Association, presented information outlining how a cycling map for the county would mesh with existing themes, attractions and publications. They noted cycle tourism is growing in Ontario and is becoming a way to explore cultural heritage in communities. The delegation outlined the economic benefits of cycling and the money spent by cycle tourists, noting provincial statistics from 2010 showed “2 million Canadian visitors participated in cycling activities in Ontario and spent $391 million.”
ment highlights trails Council approved an official plan amendment for Beckwith Township, which includes an item requiring developers of future subdivisions there to dedicate and construct trails and pathways as part of the required infrastructure of the subdivision, as opposed to providing them as part of a parkland dedication requirement. Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) expressed his support for the amendment. “It’s like treating trail infrastructure the same as we would sidewalks and roads,” he explained. The amendment supports several themes found in the county’s Sustainable Lanark plan, including infrastructure and quality of life (supporting safe walking and cycling) and healthy communities (increased physical activity by providing access to programs and facility, including public spaces and green spaces).

SURING NPNN OU G In last week’s article we talked about some of the things that you can control to help ensure that you can grow older, in your own home and in your own community, with grace and dignity. This week, let’s focus on what is truly OUT of your control and what can be done about that.
Brian returns that afternoon for a concert with Peter Woods and a guest appearance in the evening at the closing event. Also featured that day are Ottawa-area performers the Peter Brown Quartet and Nicole Ratté & Tim Bedner. The festival is delighted to welcome Norman Marshall Villeneuve’s Jazz Message to Merrickville. A hard driving bebop drummer with a career spanning six decades, Norman has worked with the likes of Duke Ellington, Junior Mance, Blossom Dearie and Anita O’Day to name a few and toured for some time with the great pianist Oliver Jones. Norman is still as exciting, inventive and energetic a performer as ever. Now based in Montreal, he brings the stellar lineup of bassist Eric Lagacé, pianist Félix Stüssi and alto saxophonist Dave Turner to MJF in a tribute to his mentor the great drummer Art Blakey.

A common misconception is the belief that asking for, and receiving assistance, equates to a loss of independence. In actual fact, asking for and receiving help is what can safely SECURE your continuing independence. For example, think of the work that is required to maintain your home...if you could have assistance in the completing the tasks that you are unable to do, it could make the difference in you being able to safely remain in your home for much longer than if you did not have this assistance. Your independence is positively impacted by this type of assistance, isn’t it? The North Lanark Assisted Living Program is a community based health care service that provides eligible seniors with the personal support services needed to allow them to continue living on their own, or with an informal caregiver at home for as long as possible. These services are coordinated by Mills Community Support with the hospitals in Almonte and Carleton Place to ensure a continuum of care for older adults across Lanark County. Assisted Living Services can help bring peace of mind to individuals and their family by delivering personal support services where and when they are most needed - anytime, day, evening or overnight.

No matter how hard you try to do all the right things in keeping yourself healthy, like maintaining a good diet, exercising appropriately and avoiding things that are known to cause health problems, there are factors in this mix over which you have little control. Things like genetics can have a huge impact on your health; injuries derived from an accident can have a lasting impact that increases as you age; and, chronic illnesses for which there is no prevention or cause that is identiable can result in difficulties with maintaining good health. These various factors can also have a very negative impact on mental health, causing stress, and worry about being able to maintain an independent lifestyle as aging occurs.
Noted naturalist Ken Beattie to inspire at next MVFN talk Community – The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will present the second lecture of their new series “When a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear?” on Thursday, Oct. 16 at the Almonte United Church. MVFN’s guest speaker will be Ken Beattie, noted naturalist and current manager of habitat programs with the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Beattie will inspire with his presentation “Without Education, There Will Be No Conservation!” Beattie has applied his extensive knowledge and experience to urban habitat development, practical environmental projects, food security initiatives, and of
course, education. His professional activities have spanned over four decades and extended to the four corners of the globe. Beattie is renowned on the national and international stage, whether delighting audiences in lecture halls or on cruise ships with his witty and intelligent series of talks entitled The Earth’s Garden, or in presentations at horticultural shows such as Toronto’s Canada Blooms or the BC Home and Garden Show. Beattie has also been the host of award-winning television shows inspired by garden themes and in particular those focusing on wise management of the earth’s resources. He was the
popular host of the live Canadian television series Get Growing. Beattie completed a Niagara Parks diploma in horticulture at the prestigious Niagara Parks Botanical Garden. He is one of Canada’s most esteemed and approachable authorities on most if not all aspects of the plant world and on the relationship between people and plants. Beattie encourages his audiences to live in harmony with nature, even within the confines of a small urban backyard: “To walk in a forest can, and usually does evoke a deeper sense of self and one’s position within a larger scheme. Not all Canadians have the privilege or opportunity however to
‘walk in a forest’. How then do those of us who have walked in a forest, perhaps even metaphorically, synthesize or translate our experiences to others? Engagement or re-engagement with nature, urban conservation ethic, and demonstrated best practices at home, schools, offices and governments may have overwhelmingly positive effects on the next generations.” If we were to lose a species or its habitat, does it matter or is it worthy of our attention? It is im-
perative, now and in the generations to follow, that a much deeper sense of understanding, caring and nurturing of our relationship with nature be established such that any threat to even one species or habitat will evoke not only our attention but also effective intervention. Join us for this talk by Beattie: ‘Without Education, There Will Be No Conservation!’ The talk takes place at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 16 at the Almonte United Church social hall, 106 Elgin
Street. Refreshments and discussion follow the talk and there is a non-member fee of $5. For further information, please contact MVFN’s program chair Gretta Bradley at glbradley@icloud.com.

Discover Ireland’s west coast is like a living time capsule Lifestyle – After writing some columns about our adventures in Ireland this summer I was amazed at how many people emailed or stopped to speak to me about the island nation. People are fascinated by Ireland and most of those who have not visited express a burning desire to do so. Some acquaintances recently returned from a vacation in Scotland, one of our favourite destinations. When I asked how they enjoyed it they said it was wonderful. “Ireland is next on our list,” she said emphatically. Perhaps it is the fact so many Canadians can trace their roots to Ireland that creates such interest? That and the enduring mystery of the place, a country which has yet to yield many of its secrets! We were having lunch in a restaurant in Merrickville a few weeks ago when my wife noticed the name tag worn by the waitress and complimented her on her name. She is called Siobhan. And Kathleen, with her Irish experience, said it perfectly. The correct pronunciation is “shiv – awn”. The young lady was thrilled that someone knew how to pronounce her given name. “Nobody gets it right,” she said in amazement. We told her about our visits to Ireland, including the most recent in June of this year. Her face lit up! “I just have to go over there,” she enthused. “Ireland is at the top of my bucket list!”
“single carriageways.” Translated that means two lanes of traffic, one in each direction. In Ireland the majority are narrow, winding and rough. To underline the problems that can occur, we were on a coach trip along the west coast in 2006 when we came upon a car burning fiercely in the middle of the road. We were stuck there for BY JEFF MAGUIRE more than an hour while the emergency Siobhan by the way, which is a services dealt with the situation.

in the most remote areas of Ireland, especially along the west coast. Gaelic, officially ‘Gaeilge’ or Irish, is often the first language among residents of that region. The girl was able to tell him that she had a bad tooth ache and was hiking to the nearest town in hopes of finding a dentist. There was no seat available on the bus, but Martin gave her a dry jacket to help her warm up and invited her to sit on the steps next to him. The hostess for the tour made her a cup of tea which she gratefully accepted, toothache and all. They were able to safely deliver her to the community in question. Everyone aboard applauded and bade a jaunty “farewell” as she set off to find a dentist. That is life in Ireland. Outside of the largest centres it is not a prosperous country in many areas and public transport can also be sporadic at best. During the planned portion of our visit to Ireland in June, Kathy and I and our friends were fortunate enough to visit the area called “The Burren.” Located in County Clare, in the mid-west region of the Republic of Ireland, the Burren is an unbelievably barren place. At first glance it appears to be comprised entirely of rock. It covers an area of 250 square kilometres and contains the Burren National Park, which at 15 sq. km. is the smallest of six designated national parks in Ireland.
During the 15th century conquest of Ireland, led by infamous English military and political leader Oliver Cromwell, his army crossed the Burren. The English were startled by the barren, rockcovered, windswept place. It prompted one of Cromwell’s generals to say, “It is a country where there is not enough water to drown a man, not enough wood to hang him and not enough soil to bury him.” Delightful folks, the Cromwellian army! During our 2006 visit to the Burren Kathy and I saw the impressive portal tomb called ‘Poulnabrone dolmen.’ The tomb, built from large, flat rocks dates back to the Neolithic period and is believed to have been erected between 4,200 and 2,900 BC. Excavations revealed the remains of between 16 and 22 adults and six children buried beneath the monument. Ireland is an ancient land with so many stories to tell. A closer examination of the Burren reveals it has more life than you might think at first glance. When we visited in June the rocky landscape was awash in wildflowers. In fact three-quarters of Ireland’s floral species can be found there. It is an interesting area to traverse, but don’t forget your walking boots. It is challenging.

Helping a loved one adapt to a nursing home home cannot accommodate a life’s worth of keepsakes and possessions. But that doesn’t mean men and women have to leave everything behind. Encourage your loved one to bring along some possessions, such as his or her family photos, a favorite chair or smaller mementos from places he or she visited throughout his or her life. Such items can make a nursing home seem less antiseptic and more like a home. * Set up an e-mail account for your loved one. If your loved one still has his or her mental health, then set him or her up with an e-mail account. This allows your loved one to maintain daily contact with family and friends. Many of today’s nursing homes provide facilities where residents can access the Internet. If not, speak to the staff and ask if your relative can bring his or her own computer. If your relative will be able to routinely access the Internet, consider purchasing a digital subscription to the local newspaper so he or she can When moving a relative into a nursing home, find a further maintain a connection to the community.

close to home and makes routine visits from friends and relatives possible enables men and women maintain a connection to their current lifestyle. A home that is miles and miles away from a person’s support system can foster feelings of isolation and loneliness. * Plan trips with your loved one. Just because an aging relative lives in a nursing home does not mean he or she can no longer travel. If a relative is healthy enough to travel, include them on family trips and outings. This includes more routine events like weekly Sunday dinners, kids’ sporting events and other extracurricular activities. The more involved your aging relative are in the daily life of your family, the more likely they are to see the advantages of living in a nursing home. * Encourage your loved ones to take some personal items with them. When moving into a nursing home, men and women must leave behind many of their possessions. This is a simple space issue, as the rooms in a typical nursing

Many older men and women find the transition to a nursing home somewhat difficult. Men and women tend to see a move to a nursing home as a step toward surrendering their independence, and this can be a difficult hurdle for seniors and their loved ones to overcome. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that many men and women move into nursing homes because their physical or mental status requires the help of a professional nursing staff, leaving family members with little to no recourse when aging relatives protest the move. But there are ways to ease a loved one’s transition into a nursing home. * Keep a positive attitude. The stress of moving an aging relative into a nursing home can be significant for all parties involved. But focusing on the positives of nursing homes, such as around-theclock care and daily activities, can help aging relatives look at nursing homes in a new light. In addition, family members who familiarize themselves with nursing homes will begin to see they are often great places for aging men and women to socialize with others their age while receiving the care and attention they need. When discussing the move to a nursing home, focus on these positives and your relative will be more likely to follow your lead. * Choose a nursing home that’s close to home. One of the more difficult parts of transitioning to a nursing home is the notion that men and women are leaving their lives behind once they move into a home. Choosing a nursing home that’s

is the absolutely breathtaking Cliffs of Moher. Rising 214 metres (702 feet) at their highest point the cliffs stretch for eight kilometres (five miles), towering above the storm-tossed Atlantic Ocean. We could clearly see the Aran Islands which lie several miles off the coast. I detailed our June visit to the islands in an earlier column. The Aran Islands, by the way, are comprised of the same rock as the Burren. We arrived at Cliffs of Moher on a perfect day, along with several thousand “new friends.” The site is the most popular natural attraction in Ireland with more than one million visitors annually. Just don’t end up there on a foggy day as my parents did on their excursion to Ireland in 2001. The cliffs and the spectacular vistas were totally obscured. Very disappointing! This year we had limitless views and could easily pick out the sweep of Galway Bay to the north and the tops of the Twelve Pins and Maumturks, two mountain ranges in the Connemara region which lies to the north of Galway City. We visited the Connemara during this trip but it would take an entire column to describe the desolate, mountainous, spectacularly beautiful region.
People who live there are often hours away from the nearest large centre (and hospital). There are just over 30,000 people living in the Connemara and more than 20,000 are native Irish speakers. There are several Gaelic-speaking districts along Ireland’s isolated west coast. Of the nearly 90,000 people living in those areas more than 75 per cent name Irish as their first language. My friend Martin has a host of good stories from his Ireland tours. One day he was studying a map while awaiting the return of his passengers from a garden tour in the Republic. He wasn’t certain what road would be the best to continue their passage along the west coast. In Ireland the secondary roads are designated by the letter R followed by three numerals. He decided to approach an Irish driver, who was sitting in the next bus in the coach park, for some assistance. When he asked the chap how to get to the R478 or the R760, or whatever route he was looking for, the guy looked horrified. “Oh no – no, no! Around here we don’t know the numbers of the Desmond Devoy/METROLAND roads. We all live local!” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can Community – The Carleton Place Farmers Market closed for the season on Saturday, Oct. 11.

Take your five senses for a walk in the woods Oct. 18 Community – On Saturday, Oct. 18, Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) invites you to the High Lonesome Nature Reserve to let your five senses guide you through the woods. Feel the furry fungi. Listen to the pines whispering to you. Reach out and touch the rough bark of the tree and you may just want to give it a hug. Admire the last fall colours contrasting with the deep greens of the spruces. Smell the fallen leaves. Just stop, close your eyes and breathe it all in. Feel your cares drop off like those autumn leaves. While the woods will be full of opportunities for many rich sensory experiences, mushroom expert George White and other knowledgeable natural-
ists will focus on fungi, with all their wide array of colours and textures – woolly, slimy, velvety, crisp or shaggy. They will not only help you find, identify and admire the various mushrooms but also explain how amazing mushrooms are and what an important role they play in determining what plants grow in the forest. That mushroom on your plate in future will get much more respect. Immersed in the woods, the quiet is soothing. But wait, there are birds and frogs singing, the trees are creaking and whispering to you. Some of these sounds of nature are so soothing that they are imitated by white noise machines to mask offensive sounds. To enhance the listening experience,
MMLT’s soundscaping expert Chad Clifford will provide opportunities to hear nature’s sounds amplified in new ways with enhanced audio recorders and headsets. Not only will you be encouraged to detect the differences between the smell of twigs of distinct trees, the soundscaping equipment will focus your attention on how firs sob and moan, ash trees hiss, beech trees rustle, some evergreens whistle, and then there is that strange animal sound that in fact is tree branches rubbing together. Soon you will not only be hugging trees but talking back to them! High Lonesome Nature Reserve is located in the Pakenham Hills. The 200-acre property is legally protected
forever by Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. Registration for this journey of the senses begins at 9:30 a.m. with the guided outings leaving the trailhead at 10 a.m. and lasting approximately two hours. Bring your lunch and
gather after your tour to share what you experienced. Be sure to dress for the weather. A $10 donation to the land trust will go towards the maintenance of the property and its eight kilometres of trails and help us acquire other wilderness prop-
erties for the benefit of nature and your well-being. For more information and directions to High Lonesome Nature Reserve, visit www. mmlt.ca or call 613-253-2722. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust.

School Bus Safety Week set for Oct. 20 to 24 for both school boards News – Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), the transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), is joining other transportation consortiums and school transportation companies across Ontario, in celebrating the importance of school bus safety during School Bus Safety Week. In Ontario, more than 800,000 children and teenagers ride safely, in more than 18,000 school buses, each day. Studies show that school buses
are the safest method for transporting young people – up to 22 times safer than passenger cars. “Ensuring the safety of students as they enter and exit the bus is crucial,” said STEO general manager and chief administrative officer, Ron Cotnam. “We are training our bus drivers to be cautious, but we need help from parents and motorist to make sure they stop for school buses, as they load and unload children. “No issue is so urgent that motorists cannot wait for a school bus.” The law requires motorists to stop for a school bus anytime it has
stopped to load or unload. In Ontario, buses display red flashing lights, and a stop sign is extended from the side of the bus, to alert motorists to stop. Cotnam offers the following tips for students as they get on and off the bus: • Always remain in direct view of the bus driver; • Always cross in front of the bus, but only when the bus driver signals it is safe to do so; • Always follow the driver’s directions for how to cross the street; • Take ten giant steps back from
the curb while waiting for the bus, and ten steps away when exiting the bus; • Be alert to traffic and look both ways; • Never try to get anything left on the bus after exiting; • Never reach underneath the bus; and • Get to the bus stop in plenty of time. Bus contractors throughout the region will be conducting contests and promotions in conjunction with local schools in support of School Bus Safety Week, and student safety.
Police departments throughout the region will also be diligent in ensuring drivers are following all rules and laws. To obtain additional information on school bus safety, and promotions being conducted, parents and students can access STEO’s website at www. steo.ca. Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario operates approximately 800 school vehicles, which transport 35,000 students, across districts in eastern Ontario.

Upper Canada school board unveils My Family Room parent website News – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) has announced a new secure website that will help the board inform parents of any crises at its schools and help parents keep their children on track with their studies. The new My Family Room web portal will act as a one-stop, single point of access to all electronic services provided to parents of UCDSB students, said Jeremy Hobbs, superintendent of human resources and operational services. The portal will serve as an urgent notification system. Instead of waiting for letters home about incidents such as lockdowns, the system will automatically inform parents of a lockdown and
that their children are safe and secure, said Hobbs. It will also allow parents to view their children’s transportation, address, phone, absence and health information and update critical contact information such as parent phone numbers or emails without having to go through their child’s school. “It’s all geared toward customer service, making it easier for parents to get the information they need and interact with us,” said Hobbs, who introduced the pilot project at the Oct. 8 board meeting. The portal is also designed to cut down on the amount of paper flowing back and forth between the school and parents, which can sometimes get lost.
“I think a lot of times what happens with students is that things are sent home in agendas or on slips of paper that don’t always make it home, not because students don’t intend to, they just get lost in the hustle and bustle of all the other things a student must do,” he stated. The system will allow parents to see their children’s student calendar and keep track of notifications from their children’s teachers about homework, assignments and exams, helping them keep their children on track with their school work. “This will allow parents to access information in a timely manner that is easier for them so they can be engaged in their son’s or daughter’s learning in a more effective way,” Hobbs said. The site will allow parents to: • Receive phone calls, emails or text messages relating to their children such as absence notifications, school emergencies, bus cancellations and special events. • Customize their contact preferences to receive emergency notifications at one destination, such as a cell phone, while receiving non-emergency messages at another such as a home phone or email address. Parents will be given a secure account to access the system so they can change this information should they change phone numbers, or wish notifications in other ways such as text messages or emails. • View key contact information for their children’s school such as phone numbers and email addresses for principals, vice principals, and office staff. • View their children’s school calendar online including PD days, exam days and
other calendar items. Parents will be asked to visit their school in person to set up their account, which can be done in a matter of minutes, said Hobbs. Second vice-chair David McDonald praised the value of the system. “We are communicating from school-to-home and home-to-school on a regular basis and in an ever busier world the easier we can make it for parents and teachers to stay connected the better,” said McDonald. “And not only will we improve communication, we are allowing our parents to have insight into the work being assigned by a teacher and that means they don’t have to look for daily agendas,” he continued. “They can look at calendars and know when homework is due and tests are coming up, and then we’ve engaged the family into the learning environment of the school and have provided complete support around the success of our students.” Development of the system is complete and the board is piloting it at four schools within the Upper Canada District School Board including: Russell High School, Viscount Alexander Public School, Westminster Public School and East Front Public School. The pilot should be finished by midNovember, and then the board will proceed with a rollout across all of its schools, to be completed by late spring. The board has a series of additional features in the planning stages and will be releasing them over the coming two years. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

CL450893_TF
Rosa Annie Kwissa, nee Legge, widowed Bedford, was born June 7th, 1924 in England. She was the daughter of poor farm labourers, and spent her early years in a thatched cottage, the youngest of four girls. Her sisters Muriel, Mary and Kit predeceased her. At the age of 17 she went to war, and fought the German air force at Coventry in an epic battle during the Blitz. She was wounded when her anti aircraft gun was discharged amongst she and 11 other young girls, killing eight of her comrades. While searching bombed areas for survivors, she was helped up from a crater by King George VI. During this time she met and married her beloved Stanley Bedford, and left the army as an expectant mother. Stanley was killed in North Africa four months before the birth of their son Donald, and she returned home to care for her son and ailing father. She was a devoted care giver, and looked after her father for five years, before meeting and marrying Witold (Vic) Stanislav Kwissa, a Polish soldier who stayed in England after the war. They had two children, Richard and Vivienne. In 1956, they left England amid fears that the Cold War would bring nuclear war to Europe. Once in Canada, they lived in Ottawa, Twin Elm and Corkery. Soon after arriving in Canada, her husband’s PTSD took control of his life, and the resulting alcoholism and behaviors made her life extremely difficult. She and the three children were left isolated in a rural area with no transport, family or close friends. Finally Donald got his driving license and a vehicle, and the family had access to the outside world. Groceries, clothing and social contact became easier to get. Rosa got her driving license at age 54. She had worked as a cabinet maker and file clerk in an effort to make ends meet. Once she had her own vehicle, she worked at Bell Northern Research and Digital Equipment in the cafeteria. She never made much money, but she kept the bills paid despite her husband’s drinking, and as her children married and became independent, she was able to enjoy auction sales. She was always turning up with some “treasures” in her trunk. In the years to come, she became a doting and supportive grandmother to Tracy and Tobi, and then with the remarriage of her son, to Heath, Jerred and Sara. She never made a distinction between her grandkids, step grandkids and then the 10 great grandkids that followed. She was always generous and no one’s birthday was forgotten. Who will ever forget her payday visits with her grey hatchback filled with bags of groceries, and special treats for everyone, even those who were regular visitors to the house? Animal welfare was her passion, and she donated generously to many wildlife and pet shelter organizations. Once retired, she moved to Carleton Place. She became the family dog walker and frequented all the trails, parks and bush lots around town. Every dog that met her knew that her doggie purse carried special treats for them, regardless of their owner’s instructions. They were her social network, and she was well known and respected in the dog walking community. Rosa had a special relationship with her grandaughter, Tracy, and was a mother, mentor, role model and hero to her. Rosa and Tracy were kindred spirits and always had much to talk about, but were also happy to be in one another’s company enjoying a cuppa. When Tracy became pregnant at a young age, Rosa was supportive and helpful. She had remedies for Tracy’s aches and pains and swollen ankles and was always bringing treats to satisfy Tracy’s various cravings. She adored her first great-grandchild and spoiled Em as every child deserves to be by a grandparent. Em grew up in the warmth of her “GG’s” love and was secure in the knowledge that she was cherished. Later, when Tracy married, Rosa was kind and welcoming to her introverted husband. When Fletcher was born, Rosa was pleased to welcome another boy to the family and was sad to learn that she would not able to meet her third great-grandchild when Tracy and her family moved to the USA. Tracy missed her grandmother very much, and they both wrote and called weekly. Though they were far apart, their relationship remained strong. When Tracy left her abusive marriage, Rosa was there with a resolve that Tracy would not go through her divorce alone. Rosa’s unrelenting loyalty to her family was unmatched; Rosa was determined to do whatever she could to help her granddaughter and great-grandchildren. She was always the first person to offer encouragement and empathy to Tracy and her children. She led by example on how to be a good and kind person. GG was a person that Em, Fletcher and Megan looked up to and cherished. As the years went by, Rosa became more reliant on Tracy to help with her day to day tasks, but they always found a reason to laugh and lament at the tribulations of getting older. Rosa continued to be a source of guidance to Tracy and even during her last days, Rosa comforted Tracy, reassuring her and expressing her love and pride in her granddaughter. Tracy and her children miss their GG greatly, and her absence has left a void. Rosa was a person who believed in honouring her commitments, and she spent 42 years dealing with her husband Vic’s drinking, and it wasn’t until the last two years of his life, when cancer replaced his alcoholism, that his head and spirit cleared enough for him to realize what a fine woman he had married. It was too late to be able to share good times, but a good time to tidy up their life. However, the strain of caring for him, especially in the last years of constant palliative care, damaged Rosa’s health. She suffered from internal issues, and at age 70 she had yet another surgery, but this time it was a young Dr Oake who looked after her and gave her nearly 15 years of pain free living. Later on, lupus, arthritis, heart issues and then failing eyes and ears frustrated her, and yet she still had a perfectly clear mind with all the goals and desires for being active just out of reach. The lack of eyesight and hearing left her isolated, and despite the interaction of her immediate family and caring local services, it disappointed her that so many of the people who she had helped in the past simply stopped calling or dropping in. She was no longer in a position to supply cash, gifts, or services, and she felt somewhat dumbfounded to think that she had given so much, and yet it meant so little later on. On Aug 7, 2014, Rosa died in the Carleton Place Hospital. Many thanks to Dr. Spooner for her compassionate and knowledgeable care; the staff and nurses at the Carleton Place Hospital who made her feel safe and maintained her dignity right to the end of her life; to the excellent emergency and neurological services at the Ottawa Civic; the local branches of the CCAC for their counselling and physical therapy; and the staff from North Lanark Home Care who helped her in her home. In celebration of her life, donations to the Carleton Place Hospital or the animal shelter of your choice would be appreciated. Today her physical pains are over, and we are happy in knowing that she is walking freely and easily again, enjoying her sight and relishing the sounds and scents of long, outside walks, no doubt carrying that big dog walking purse, filled with cookies, treats, and of course a bowl and water for those hot doggies. Penny, Rusty, Johnny Ringo, Mike, Bessie, Holly, Buster, Candy, Frank, Penny, Riley, Belle, Luther, Reg, Sassy, Peggy-Sue, and Beau will enjoy being with her again. And we will never forget her. Bye GG. Enjoy your walk.

Hit comedy, Educating Rita, at Station Theatre for next two weeks Arts – Educating Rita, the stage play that won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 1980 plays at the Smiths Falls Station Theatre for two weeks starting Friday, Oct. 17. Written by Willy Russell, the comedy features two actors whom audiences will remember for their sparkling performances in Looking: Katharine Coleman and Michael Adams. The comedy follows the relationship between a young Liverpudlian working class hairdresser and Frank, a middleaged university lecturer, during the course of a year. Susan (who initially calls herself Rita), dissatisfied with the routine of her work and social life, seeks inner growth by signing up for and attending an Open University course in English Literature. The play opens as ‘Rita’ meets her tutor, Frank, for the first
time. Frank is a middleaged, alcoholic career academic who has taken on the tutorship to pay for his drink. The two have an immediate and profound effect on one another; Frank is impressed by Susan’s verve and earnestness and is forced to re-examine his attitudes and position in life; Susan finds Frank’s tutelage opens doors to a bohemian lifestyle and a new self-confidence. Educating Rita has its funny side for sure, but director Jamie Schoular sees something more emerge in the interaction between the two principals. “For me the most meaningful bit of dialogue occurs in act one, scene four when Frank says ‘When art and literature take the place of life itself, perhaps it is time to...’ and Rita interrupts with, ‘But it’s not takin’ the place of life,
it’s providin’ me with life.’” he says. “She then goes on to describe how, if you don’t know what you don’t know then life can seem pretty good, but if you are aware there can be something better, or in her words, other ‘choices’ your life could be so much more fulfilling.” “The thing about this play,”says Schoular, “that makes it a little different from some of the other plays that we have done is that the characters are real with real issues and real challenges. It is a play about the British class system, no doubt about that, but it transcends culture and present the audience with two people who could be from anywhere, even Lanark County, who are trying to overcome stereotypes and break free from the prejudices and preconceived notions that have held them and others like them back

from achieving their true potential.

Ginny Findley, Civitan of the Year delights in giving back Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News – The four years Civitan Ginny Findley has spent quietly working for the community and her service organization was suddenly thrust into the spotlight when the local woman was named this year’s Civitan of the Year. “I was very shocked,” Findley said of the honour. The annual award is kept as a surprise to the recipient each year and is awarded to someone for their “outstanding leadership and exceptional service,” according to the Civitan website (www.civitan.org). Throughout her four years with Civitan, she has never missed a meeting and has dedicated herself as chair of the Membership Committee and Festival of Trees. She also sits on the Bingo Committee. “It’s really nice” once it’s all set up, Findley said of the annual Festival of Trees fundraiser. Civitan’s objective of living by the golden rule and active efforts to reach out to help local and regional causes such as Lanark County Interval House, the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank, Salvation Army and CHEO is what drew her to volunteering her time in 2010. “It’s nice helping other people,” she said. The Smiths Falls Civitan of the Year award has been given out since 1970 when Curzon Taylor received the first honour. Governor Bill Lawrence congratulated the local club for marking 50 years of giving back to their com-
munity, with special acknowledgement to members Don Stanzel (who received the God Father Award this year for 50 years of membership), Gib Hodge (47 years of service) and Dave Splane (49 years of service). “That’s quite an accomplishment,” Lawrence said of Stanzel’s honour this year. “It’s great to see some of the family members.” This year’s awards ceremony acknowledged exceptional service to the community within and beyond Civitan’s borders. In particular, outgoing mayor, Dennis Staples, was given an award of Special Recognition (20132014) for his years of support. “Mayor Staples, I applaud you and your devotion to this community,” remarked Lt. Governor Ross Munro. Montague Reeve Bill Dobson extended his congratulations to this fellow politician, adding: “It’s been a big honour to work with you for seven years.” Staples thanked the Civitan for this special acknowledgement, adding the club has never been far from his thoughts while in office. He held up a worked in Civitan folder that was given to him Oct. 5, 1995 – his first Civitan Awards night as mayor and told the crowd he has carried it with him across the country and overseas ever since. “You caught me off guard,” the mayor said of the honour. Staples recalled one of his first efforts as mayor, which was to establish Stacey Roy/METROLAND a service group committee where the Civitan Ginny Findley said she was shocked at being named this year’s heads of all 10 service organizations Civitan Of the Year at the annual awards banquet Oct. 9. Civitan Bryan in the community came together every six weeks or so to discuss upcomWiltsie presented the award to the applause of her peers.

Dobson congratulated the Civitan for its positive work over the last year, saying the strength of both town and township is that they are “a community of volunteers,” he added. “We certainly wouldn’t be where we are today if we didn’t have the volunteers.” Volunteers like Jim MacAllister who accepted the responsibility of Civitan president for 2014-2015. “I hope we have a good year and let’s have some fun,” MacAllister said during his inaugural presidential address. Fun is undoubtedly what will take place within Civitan this year, especially when considering the club’s theme – Civitan Happy. Lawrence describes this term as holding onto existing members, asking members to join, future plans, preparing to rededicate themselves to the international research centre (that has recently found a link between Alzheimer’s disease and Down Syndrome); and youth. “Youth are our future,” Lawrence added. “We need the younger ones to help keep us going.” Locally, there is interest in starting a Junior Civitan club alongside the LGBT Civitan Club that currently exists.

Seatbelt safety blitz reminds students to buckle up Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - The click of the seatbelt is music to the ears of local police who recently partnered with a number of organizations to educate young drivers about the importance of buckling up regardless of where they sit in a vehicle. A pair of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) students volunteered Oct. 9 to assist members of the Smiths Falls Police Department and Big Brothers Big Sisters in completing a lunchtime survey detailing the number of seatbelts worn by those driving by the entrance of the

down where the damaged piping may be. Barnes said both options are costly and that the township is looking at using camera technology to snake through the pipes and get an inside look at the system. “Let’s spend our money wisely,” Barnes said. “Digging may cost us more than what the (water) loss is.” From Lavier’s memory, the incredible cost of water in Atironto has been ongoing since around 2002. A water loss analysis dated Aug. 31, 2014 gives an average water loss of 66.86 per cent for each two-month billing period since the start of the year. This has translated into $27,049 difference between what was billed and what was metered in Atironto in the first eight months of this year alone. These costs are shouldered by roughly 130-plus households that make up Atironto, and it is this small population that poses the biggest challenge as costs for maintenance of this type can swiftly balloon out of control and will land squarely on the residents of Atironto. “The provincial government mandates us that the municipal tax base can not pay for the water,” Dobson said. The township has applied for grant support from the federal government under their Infrastructure Fund.
Prevention From front page
Normandin grew up beside the Kitley Fire department and eagerly awaited the fire truck’s return from various calls for service. It wasn’t long before the teenaged Normandin offered his hands to bring in the hose and wash the fire trucks at the station, knowing in his heart the fire station would be a second home for him. “We’re just a big, big family,” Normandin said. Then in 1981, just past his 18th birthday, Normandin was officially welcomed into the firefighting family when he joined up as a volunteer firefighter with the Kitley Fire Department. He volunteered there for four years before moving to the Smiths Falls fire service where he served as a volunteer for 10 years, ultimately becoming a fulltime firefighter in 1994. The work Normandin and all firefighters do is honourable and dangerous. Over the years, the veteran firefighter has seen his share of blazes, including the tragic fatal fire on Chambers Street that claimed the lives of local children. “You never really get over it,” Normandin said. The family dynamic of the fire station helps in these times when the job wreaks havoc on one’s heart. In 2012 Normandin extended his own arm of support to colleagues in New York when he at-
school. The initiative was the last of a two-day blitz at the school aimed at educating local youth on the importance of buckling up. David Fisher, vice principal at SFDCI is pleased to see students working alongside local police to build that trust relationship while creating a buzz about the safety issue itself in school. “You’ve got the next generation,” Fisher said, adding partnerships like this “build that habit and you don’t start your vehicle until your seatbelt is on.” The blitz spanned two days (the first was used to hand out information and 300 miniature footballs
to students with the message ‘Do The Back Seat Buckle’. Const. Dave Murphy, Community Safety Officer for the Smiths Falls Police Department said they are focusing on back seat belt buckling following last year’s survey results that pointed out this need. “Last year when we did this a substantial number of people did not wear their seat belt,” Murphy said. Every seat belt in the vehicle is critical to protecting those travelling and potentially saving lives. Murphy said he hoped the blitz would emphasize to students the dangers unbuckled back seat passengers pose to themselves and their friends. “What they don’t realize is when an accident
“We see this as a high priority for the federal side,” Barnes said. Long-term solution Arresting the water loss is the immediate priority for the township, but Montague is also looking long-term towards negotiating a better rate for water for its Atironto residents. Currently, these citizens pay 75 per cent more for their water service than those living in the Town of Smiths Falls. “In the end, my hope is that the people of Atironto will get a better deal out of things,” Dobson said. According to Barnes, the township and town have undertaken discussions on the water rates since an increase this past spring sparked anger in residents, adding they are preparing for the new term of council to continue these discussions. When that meeting takes place Barnes said he is interested in discussing what he feels is the duplication of administrative work such as the daily testing of the water system and the updating of a plan for system replacement and failure. “Everything they (Smiths Falls) do we do,” Barnes said. Should township staff receive information on next step options ahead of the upcoming council session, they have been directed to call a special meeting to move this issue forward. This meeting has not been called as of deadline this week.
tended the 9/11 memorial across the border. The atmosphere was full of thanks for those in uniform, with many stopping Normandin to shake his hand. “It was phenomenal,” Normandin said. He said he is looking forward to supporting his community in his new role and sharing information on ways to keep safe and reduce your risk of fire. “I love working with people. I love working in the community,” he said. The role of fire prevention has become increasingly more demanding throughout Normandin’s career to the point where a position like his own has been created. “There’s still a lot that I have to learn,” he said. He has spent an entire career learning any way he can. Beyond the formal training programs offered, the local firefighter has used his vacations to stop in on other fire services to see how they operate. Normandin urges residents to test their fire alarms every month and consider purchasing a carbon monoxide detector. Fire safety questions and concerns are always welcome at the Smiths Falls Fire Department. Residents are encouraged to contact Normandin at 613-283-5869.

happens the person in the back seat becomes a human projectile,” Murphy said. The blitz took place during the annual seatbelt safety campaign in Ontario Oct. 6 to 10 and was a partnership project between the Smiths Falls Police Service, SFDCI, Ministry of Transportation and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS). Jennifer Miller, executive director of BBBS said she was pleased to lend volunteer support for the blitz days saying: “It’s all about keeping kids safe, which is kind of what we do.” The blitz served as an educational exercise only and no tickets were issued to those not wearing their seat belts. Anyone over the age of 16 can be fined $240 and two demerit points if not belted in.

MY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AS YOUR DEPUTY REEVE MONTAGUE TOWNSHIP The netting is now up on the Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens rink at the corner of Cornelia and Elmsley streets. Rob Garvin of the Gerry Lowe Foundation said the rink will likely be done within the month. A covered shelter will be put up by the parking lot side of the rink.
Gerry Lowe Sens rink nearly finished Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - The blades will soon hit the ice on the new outdoor Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens RINK (Recreational Investments in Neighbourhood for Kids), as organizers expect the finishing touches to be made in the coming weeks. “It will be done at the end of the month,” confirmed Rob Garvin of the Gerry Lowe Foundation. Garvin and Hugh Colton spoke at a Rotary Club meeting last week to provide an update on the much-anticipated recreational asset and begin the discussion around the ongoing funding requirement for programs. “We not only want to build a rink… we want to move forward,” Garvin said. The hope is to provide programs that instruct children, free of charge, in skating and the sport of hockey. Garvin is reaching out to the various service clubs in the community to make this happen, saying any support, be it financial or in volunteer commitment, would be welcome. “They’re very much needed,” Garvin said.
“There’s certainly a role for everyone in a sense.” The project was well received by Rotary members last week, including Roger Cooke who said “the rink is fantastic for the community.” “It couldn’t have been filled better and it’s community driven and that’s the best part,” said Jay Brennan. The foundation was successful in raising over $100,000 for the building of the rink. The Senators Foundation’s Sens RINK program finished off this fundraising effort, making the rink’s completion at the end of this month a reality. While the foundation wraps up this project it has already begun plans for another fundraising $250,000 initiative. These funds will be used to purchase a pad that will help maintain the ice on the rink. “It’s on our radar,” Garvin said. The pad goes onto the concrete base which is then covered with ice. The rink is just one of many initiatives the Gerry Lowe Foundation has undertaken to keep its namesake’s legacy alive. The Gerry Lowe Shinny Skate program, another initiative spearheaded by Lowe, continues Monday afternoons, 3:30 to 4:20 p.m.

Kitchen renovation boosts Falls’ youth centre programming Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - A new kitchen renovation at the Smiths Falls & District Centre for Youth has restored the centre’s heart and allowed for new programs to launch. The extensive renovation wrapped up last week and began as a result of necessary repairs to the centre’s basement earlier in the year. Adam Gariepy, centre manager, recalls arriving to work one spring Monday morning to find knee-deep water in the basement. “I could hear running water,” Gariepy recalled. Immediately, repair work was undertaken to fix the flooding, but the root of the problem still existed. Then the centre found out they had received $50,000 grant from the Harold E Ballard Foundation out of Toronto to complete some of the renovations. “We were really, really excited to see that come in,” Gariepy added “We couldn’t go through another winter.” The pipes had caused flooding three times last year making the repair a necessity for the centre to continue operating. Repairing the basement meant insulating the pipes, which came right through the kitchen floor, requiring it to be torn up. Centre staff took this opportunity to address the much-used space by removing storage to allow for additional cooks in the kitchen and give the kitchen a complete upgrade. “We literally gutted it,” Gariepy said, adding of the flooding concerns. “Moving forward, we’re not going to have more issues.”

Standing: Vanessa Major, Jessica Gilliam, Denise Czuray and Kelsi Leaver. Youth like Ethan Belair-Logan are pleased to see the new kitchen. “It gives it an open spot for youth to learn different things,” BelairLogan said. He aspires to one day operate his own restaurant and is pleased to have such a streamlined kitchen he can access. The kitchen is the most popular space in the centre as it hosts the snack program, which routinely attracts more participants than any other program. “There are a lot of hungry kids
out there,” Gariepy said. It’s so popular staff have decided to introduce a second culinary-inspired program. International cooking night The renovation was completed allowing this program to launch later this year. Gariepy said they are aiming to run the international cooking night on the second Friday of each month. The program is in partnership with a volunteer dietician and encourages youth to get into the kitchen and help prepare
an international meal before enjoying its unique flavours. Gariepy was inspired to bring this program to Smiths Falls after realizing many of the youth he serves ate from such a limited menu. “There’s so much more to eat out there,” Gariepy added. “They’ll be cooking something that’s not native to Canada.” When funding is available the youth centre will look to replace the flooring in the middle room, which wasn’t done during the last renovation in 2012.

Unplugged and stress free
O
pinion - I’m taking a lesson from my guy and it’s energizing. It’s about cell phones. He doesn’t have one. I know. Imagine my horror when I found that out! So it’s not hard for him to be ‘unplugged’ during the day/ week/weekend. He also has no use for a computer – I know, right… what? No social media either? I am plugged in 24/7. Well, I used to be; now when I’m with him, I have no use for the phone or computer either. It’s actually quite liberating. When I am with him, he is the most important person in my world. I don’t have any intention of staring at a screen when I’m in his presence. At first, it was a little difficult, I must admit. I would leave my phone at home then go to his place. We talk, we sit outside, we play cards, we watch some television, we go for a drive, shoot some pool… we have a life outside technology and it’s amazing. Unlike my last relationship where his cell phone and computer were his portals to his other selves (and there were many other selves), this relationship is refreshing. I am not wondering to whom he is talking, texting, or emailing explicit photos. There is no fear of him not being in tune with me. I return that same courtesy. It’s about respect. There is also nothing worse than being out with friends who are constantly on their phones. I was guilty of that too, even with my family, and now I think being on my phone in their presence is a waste of time. Yes, I had the proverbial wakeup call. If I’m with someone in the flesh, I want to be there… I am engaged in the face-to-face conversation and not off in space looking at the latest blog, or sharing photos or texting with someone else…
LAURIE WEIR Weir View you know, living life on Facebook (I’m aghast – there really IS life outside Facebook… imagine!) My cell phone is not my life; well, not anymore. Is it too much to ask others to show the same respect? If not, I don’t care. I just don’t make it a habit of going out with them too often when it’s obvious it’s not me they want to spend time with… it’s their phones. It’s a pity, really. Social media is not social at all. It should be called anti-social media. Because really, when you are engaged with your screen more than you are in real life, you are losing touch with those around you. Those who matter. Those who care. About you! I enjoy people; but I also enjoy unplugged time now that I have seen how stress-free life can be without being attached to my phone or computer when I don’t need to be. In my career, enhancing our website and social media pages and knowing how to get them working together is part of my daily challenge, but it’s nice to be able to just turn it all off when I’m home… with my guy. We have not been texting each other all day so we have something to talk about at the end of it. Unique concept. I enjoy that time. I enjoy him… I enjoy feeling loved and treasured in a relationship free of technology and not having to worry about who is vying for his attention online or on a cell phone. And he doesn’t have to wonder about who’s interrupting us via my phone either. There is no one more important than him when I am with him. Not one… well except for Mom if she’s got a dessert to deliver.

William Franklin Kidd, Aircraftman March 29th, 1920 – July 4th, 1941 William Franklin Kidd (Junior) was a 21-year-old soldier who died while training to fight overseas during the Second World War. He was born on March 29th, 1920 in Montague, Ontario to his mother, Maud Kidd and father, William Kidd (Senior). He never married, nor had any children. William completed public school in Smiths Falls, Ontario. He attended Smiths Falls Collegiate Institute in 1933, and attended an electronics tradesman school until 1940. William had no prior employment prior to enlisting in the forces. A member of the United Church of Canada, William lived on Spadina Avenue, Toronto at the time of his enlistment in the Royal Canadian Air Force, April 25th, 1940. In William Kidd’s Certificate of Medical Examination, he is described as being 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 152 pounds. Williams’s hair was brown in colour and he had blue eyes. His eyesight and hearing were perfect and he was athletic, occasionally playing base-
William Kidd was considered a passenger of this aircraft, as he was off duty at the time. In a Department of National Defence post investigation memorandum letter to the Officer Commanding the RCAF in Britain, written by the Officer Commanding 401 Fighter Squadron, it states “The aircraft was reported missing, and on the morning of July 5th, 1941, this Squadron received information from the Royal Air Force Station Headquarters to the effect that wreckage of an aircraft had been found on the hills near Lee Farm, Edale. It was believed that, owing to low mist, the aircraft struck the hills which, it is understood, are over 2000 feet at that point. All the occupants were killed and Air Craftsman First Class Kidd was identified by means of his discs (referring to his dog tags).” William Kidd was found with multiple fractures to the skull and several other injuries within his body. His funeral was held on July 8th, 1941. The airplane crash was described as accidental. After William Franklin Kidd’s

Bears climb out of Robinson Division basement
CCHL nod to Doef as he helps propel Smiths Falls to four-point weekend Laurie Weir
was hit with the loss, after he took over netminding duties from Jacob Tugnutt after the first period. Game stars included Smiths Falls’ Groulx (first); Doef (second) and Kemptville’s Tyson Kirkby (third).
Sports – Neil Doef collected three goals and three assists over the weekend to help lift the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears out of the basement of the Robinson Division in CCHL action. Doef had a pair of goals and three assists Friday as the team defeated the Kemptville 73’s 8-6 and the Cumberland Grads on Sunday, 3-0. For his efforts, Doef was named the CCHL’s Corporate Hype/CCM Player of the Week. He leads the Bears in scoring now with five goals and 14 assists, and is currently 12th in the league. The second-year player is proving to be one of the league’s top two-way players and committed to attend Princeton University last season. Pink the Rink On Friday night for their second annual Pink the Rink event, spearheaded by Sydney Dubas, $4,493.60 was raised for the Canadian Breast Cancer Society. Donations are still being accepted online. “Over last year, we had more people in the stands, more people donating to the cause and that’s a great thing,” assistant coach Walt Dubas said. “Sydney (his daughter) is thrilled that we exceeded the goal ($3,000) and donations are still coming in.” The Bears used a barrage of goals in the first period to attack the Kemptville 73’s as they stopped their six-game losing skid. “An 8-6 score is not what we wanted,” said Dubas, assistant coach, who added that to have six goals scored on you is not a great defensive game. “Sure, there was a lot of offense, but to have that many goals scored on you…

Doef had two goals and two helpers in the first, but it was Ryan Duhaime that got the Bears on the board first, assisted by Groulx and Doef. Duhaime also had a
big night adding three more assists. Cole Busschaert had the other firstperiod goal when he scored on the power play from Chris MacMillan and Duhaime. Scoring for Kemptville were Aaron Hickie and Shawn Cameron. In the second, Groulx scored twice for Smiths Falls but not before Kemptville had three on the board. Tyson Kirkby had two, while Cameron Russell scored a single. Smiths Falls held a 7-5 lead heading
into the final period. Kemptville made a last-ditch attempt with their goal from Olivier Chabot with 3:24 gone to come within one of the lead. With seconds to go in the game, and the Kemptville goalie pulled in favour of the extra attacker, Smiths Falls tipped in an empty-netter. Jared Henry had the goal, assisted by Karson McCartney. Cole Skinner had the win for the Bears, replacing Michael Pinios after 28:45 minutes of play. Nicholas Hodgins
Smiths Falls 3 Cumberland 0 Sunday, the Bears were in Cumberland where they claimed a 3-0 shutout over the Grads, in front of a lowly 190 fans. “The bus ride home is always better after a big win,” Dubas said. “Now that the boys are getting some momentum, we’re looking at extending that win streak. They are playing with a lot more confidence now.” After a scoreless first period, Taylor Henry opened the doors in the second with his goal at 9:53 from Karson McCartney. Doef had the team’s second goal of the period, assisted by Cole Busschaert at 12:41. In the third, Nicholas Coats gave the Bears their third goal with his marker at 15:38, assisted by Brandon Lesway and Josh Leblanc. Dubas said it’s good to get some scoring from a variety of players, and not have to depend on the big sticks. “It’s always better when we’re scoring by committee,” he said. Cole Skinner was the winning netminder with 20 saves. Paul Leger took the loss with 32 of 35 saves. Stars of the game were: first, Taylor Henry, Smiths Falls; second, Darius Gibson, Smiths Falls; and third, Joey Sollazzo, Cumberland. The Bears will host Kanata on Friday at 7:30 p.m. They were in Kemptville on Oct. 14, and in Nepean on Oct. 15. Results will be available in the next issue.

MVFN publishes book based on natural history lectures Community – The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) host natural history talks throughout the year in Almonte. These lectures have been taking place more or less regularly since the club’s founding in 1988. You do not need to be an expert to enjoy these presentations, just a fascination and curiosity for the natural world! Speakers are experts in their fields, often at a world-class level. The information provided, whether giving insights into a particular species or habitat or even a global environmental issue, is up-to-date, and there is a focus on the local perspective. This means the lectures really are worthy of and likely of interest to a larger local audience than attend the talks. In order to spread the word to a wider audience, volunteer MVFN reporters diligently write up accounts of the talks for the local media and for posting on the club’s website. As one of several 25th anniversary initiatives, MVFN decided to publish these lecture reports in book form last year. The first volume, Natural History Lecture Series of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists 2013 is now available on loan from the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. The book and individual lecture reports are also available for download from the MVFN website at mvfn.ca. Accounts of other MVFN natural history lectures may also be found on the website as well the announcements of upcoming lectures. We invite you to visit there to learn more about the natural world! The book includes reports of natural history talks for two series: Trends in Fauna and Flora and Nature Beneath

The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) recently published a book on their natural history lectures and presented a copy of it to the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library recently. From left: Cathy Keddy, Pauline Donaldson (co-editors of the new book, along with Jim Bendell); Pam Harris, chief executive officer/chief librarian of the Mississippi Mills Public Library; MVFN member Yvonne Bendell and Jim Bendell. our Feet held between September 2011 and May 2013. Topics include Citizen Science Networks, Lanark County Soil FUNdamentals, Ground Beetles-My Favourite Group and other topics ranging from salamanders, arctic ground-
nesting birds, flying squirrels, green ‘aliens’ and more. Also included in the volume are the speaker biographies and contact information, and some key references. The book includes a dedication to Mike McPhail, president of MVFN
from 2006-2009. MVFN’s goal in providing the information is to contribute to a broader understanding and greater appreciation of our natural environment, and wiser interaction with it. In addition, in reading a report or biography, perhaps
a young reader will be inspired to follow in the footsteps of one of the expert speakers. The lecture reporting project would not have been possible without the dedication of the following people who authored reports: Joel Byrne, Mary Robinson, Fred Schueler, Lynda Bennett, Jim Bendell, Linda Mosquin, Pauline Donaldson, Mike Macpherson, Cliff Bennett, Eugene Fytche, Christine Hume, and Elizabeth Wiles. All are active and passionate volunteers for nature, several having served on the board of MVFN, and all enthusiastically gave their time and effort to provide excellent details of the talks, as well as their own personal insights and impressions. Cathy Keddy was the inspiration behind the lecture series and coordinated the lecture program as program chair for MVFN from 2008-2014. Project organizers and editors were Pauline Donaldson, Cathy Keddy and Jim Bendell. MVFN thanks Peter Nelson, former head librarian of the Town of Mississippi Mills Public Library for his advice and encouragement with the project, and also Pam Harris, new chief executive officer/chief librarian of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. MVFN’s natural history lectures began again for a new season earlier this September. The talks take place in the social hall of the Almonte United Church on Elgin St. in Almonte. Mark your calendars for the next presentation on Thursday, Oct. 16. Watch for speaker details in the local media and on the website. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists

Lending a helping hand to small business of the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), which sponsors Small Business Week each year. “To prevail, they need the right preparation and a solid roadmap. That means fostering excellent customer service and supplier relationships, applying sound financial management principles and hiring the best people.” But for any business to succeed, whether it’s the small candy shop on the corner or the shoe store that’s been in the family for generations, they need support and that’s where organizations such as the Small Business Advisory Centre (Smiths Falls/Lanark County) can help. Located at 91 Cornelia Street West, entrance B, the centre, which serves en-
trepreneurs and businesses in Lanark, Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills, aids those starting a new business but also provides business advisory services to existing ones. And much of the resources are free of charge. “Whether you have a business that is home-based, retail, service-based or manufacturing, there is material waiting for you,” the centre noted on its website (www.smallbizcentre.ca). “Our walk-in resource centre is full of useful literature available to the public including supplier directories, associations, sample business plans, franchise manuals, Canadian Almanac, market research data and information on various types of
businesses.” While any business owner can walk in and pick up those materials at any time, the centre offers one-on-one consultations for those who need help in a specific area. Some of the information they can provide includes start-up procedures, business plans, record keeping, budgeting and cash flow, taxes, market research, sales and marketing, employees, expansion, licences and permits, as well as government information and incorporation. Any business must be registered and the Small Business Advisory Centre can also walk clients through the process, step by step. As a partner of Canada

Let’s take a closer look at TFSAs and how to avoid tax penalties. • TFSA investments are not tax deductible but they do grow on a tax-free basis. • The annual TFSA dollar limit is indexed to inflation in $500 increments and for 2014 the limit is $5,500. • If you don’t use your maximum contribution room every year, it accumulates year after year, so you can use it any time you choose.
Manage Your Money o Plus the amount of withdrawals from a previous year (excluding withdrawals of excess contributions, qualifying transfers, or other specified contributions). o Plus any unused contribution room from previous years. • If you make a withdrawal, the earliest you can ‘earn back’ your TFSA contribution room is the first day of the next year after the TFSA withdrawal was made. And this is where many TFSA-holders are running into unexpected taxes: At any time of the year, if you contribute more than your allowable TFSA contribution room, you will be considered to have over-contributed to your TFSA and you will be subject to a tax equal to 1% of the highest excess TFSA in the month, for each month you are in an excess contribution position*. Here’s an example: o You have maximized your TFSA contribution room for 2014, but decide to withdraw $4,000 for Christmas shopping. Assuming that you have no additional contribution room from previous years, if you were to re-
contribute this $4,000 before the end of 2014, you would be considered to have over-contributed and would incur tax penalties. However, if you wait until January 1, 2015, you would have ‘re-earned’ the $4,000 contribution room and could contribute up to that amount in your TFSA without penalty. When you know the ‘rules’ and follow them, there are many ways a TFSA could work for you. Your professional advisor can help you get the most from your TFSA and every other element in your overall financial plan. *Canada Revenue Agency, cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/tfsaceli/cntrbtn-eng.html.

Since their introduction by the federal government in 2009, Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) have become a favorite savings option for many Canadians – and with good reason: TFSAs provide tax-free savings growth and easy, tax-free withdrawals at any time for any purpose. Almost anyone can benefit from a TFSA – but if you have one, be careful because there is one not-well-understood recontribution rule that could cost you an unexpected tax hit. That mistake: Making a withdrawal from your TFSA and replacing the money too early.
o The annual dollar limit (currently) $5,500.

Noteworthy musings from the motorway south of the border Lifestyle – Filing this week from Florida after a two-day vacation drive south with the family and a few things on the road stuck out as noteworthy to pass along. First, in New York I loved the reminder signs warning about the dangers of texting while driving. They have renamed their interstate roadside rest stops as ‘Text Stops’ with the tag-line; a text can wait. I also appreciated their laws on texting that pulls the driver’s licence of anyone racking up three textingwhile-driving infractions. Junior drivers (those with learner permits or probationary licences) loose their driving privileges after the first offense. If we want to get serious about reducing electronic driver distractions in this province we need some stiffer rules like New York’s. Next, why can’t we have provincially owned noncommercial rest stops? The I-95
highway from the New York/ Canadian border to Florida is full of them and all have plenty of parking, great restrooms, fresh water and vending machines. Even the best of our highway fuel stations with their multibillion dollar fast food empire backed facilities can’t compete with the U.S. Interstate reststops for clean functional restrooms and picnic areas. Highway signage is also a point where the eastern seaboard states have us beat. Every exit has a series of signs indicating which fuel stations, motels, and restaurants are located at the bottom of the ramp so it’s easy to find exactly what you and your car-mates are looking for. The businesses are all listed combined uniformly designed signs and are found at predictable distances from each exit ramp. Traveling through large cities on multi-lane highways
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
can be stressful enough even when using a good quality GPS navigation device to help guide your way. When faced with finding the correct lane for an exit or merge onto another route, several states have come up with a great solution. Overhead signage can be confusing when it comes to getting the correct lane so their highway departments have taken to painting the route number on the pavement itself. This takes all the guesswork out of selecting the right lane and carries a minimal cost. “Hey Brian, So I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla S with about, 270,000 km on it, with custom stereo,
speakers, led lights and some other parts. I rear-ended someone and apparently the repair costs to my Corolla are around $6,400 and the insurance company has considered it a write off. At this point in my life I can’t afford another car payment. Is there any way to not make it a write off and keep the car? Everything else is fine in the car, the airbags didn’t deploy or anything it’s just the front end. I don’t think anything structural got damaged. I just want to keep my car instead of getting a new one. Thank you for your time.” You can request that your insurance company allow you to
keep possession of your vehicle and take a cash settlement for the damages. Be warned that a cash settlement is usually considerably less than the damage estimate and might not be enough to repair the vehicle. Then there’s the issue of reregistering a vehicle that has been deemed a total loss by an insurance company. Before this vehicle can go back on the road it will have to go through a very rigorous inspection and repair process by a specially licensed repair shop. My advice would be to get such a shop to provide an appraisal and opinion as to whether this is feasible
and/or practical. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint. ca or directly to bjoeturner@ hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Arts – Currently playing at the Studio Theatre, it’s Beth Henley’s celebrated comedy/drama Crimes of the Heart starring Gina Tremaine, Scott Duncan, Patti Greer, Mary Ann Majaury, Tracy Noonan, and Andrew McDougall, and directed by Barb Guthrie. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Circle Award, Crimes of the Heart is the touching and very funny story about three sisters in the deep South, each trying to escape their past. Don’t miss the brilliantly imaginative Crimes of the Heart in its last three performances, this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. For details visit studiotheatreperth.com. Here, long-suffering ‘Lennie’ (Gina Tremaine) can barely endure the way her nasty cousin ‘Chick’ (Patti Greer) flirts with the bemused ‘Doc Porter’ (Scott Duncan) who has returned to town after marrying – of all things – a Yankee!

This 1939 Ford Deluxe coupe in Electric Lime Green is a gem
power brakes in front, power steering, and VIN is #1851490651.â&#x20AC;? With their sleek aerodynamic lines, the 1939 Fords have been a favourite with restorers and customizers alike ever since they rolled off the Ford assembly lines. According to the 1942 Used Car Sales Handbook of Features
published by GM of Canada for its used car sales people, the Windsor factory price when new for the 1939 Ford Deluxe coupe was $893 (slightly less in the U.S.). The engine was a flathead V8 with 221 cubic inches cranking out 85 horsepower, a respectable power output for that time and easily modified for

more horsepower. Five body styles were available: 2-passenger coupe, two-door sedan, four-door sedan, convertible coupe with rumble seat (the last year for this feature), and convertible sedan. The 1940 Ford convertible had a poweroperated top and a back seat under the roof instead of a rumble seat, reflecting the growing desire of the motoring public for more protection from the weather. The 2-passenger coupe in 1939 had no back seat and was popular with travelling sales people. Also, 1939 was the last year before the adoption of sealed beam headlights industry-wide in 1940. It was the last year that Ford had a 3-speed floor shift

Powerful performances in The Judge Local men join Camino de Santiago trek MOVIE: The Judge STARRING: Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Billy Bob Thornton, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jeremy Strong and Dax Shepard DIRECTOR: David Dobkin RATING: 14A Entertainment – It’s a rare film that can take you through the entire gambit of human emotions. The Judge is a very rare film. He gets the call in the middle of a trial. It’s a high profile case where Hank Palmer’s (Robert Downey Jr.) client is rich and most likely guilty. It’s a case Hank will easily win, but when that call comes in, nothing else matters because Hank’s mother has died. The big city lawyer heads back to the small town where he grew up. He sees his brothers Glen (Vincent D’Onofrio) and Dale (Jeremy Strong). He even runs into his high school girlfriend Samantha (Vera Farmiga). Then he sees his father, Judge Joseph Palmer (Robert Duvall), and remembers why he left and never came back. To say Hank and his father have a complicated relationship would be an understatement. None-the-less they manage to get through the funeral with
the trial begins you sit on the edge of your seat with them. All of it is masterfully woven together. There is no shortage of brilliant performances in The Judge. Everywhere you look you find intelligent and sensitive actors giving every ounce of their talent to this film. Vera Farmiga, Billy Bob Thornton, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jeremy Strong and Dax Shepard are amazing. Robert Downey Jr’s performance is an example of what good acting should be. Hank Palmer, with all his strengths and flaws, is made real through Downey’s depth of emotion, and his ability to convey those emotions. With every line, every gesture, and every expression Downey mesmerizes the audience. Robert Duvall is a true master of the craft. To take this intelligent, powerful, and even hard man that Judge Palmer is, and be able to also show his frailty and his humanity is one of the most moving performances of the year. Downey and Duvall together are awe-inspiring. Theirs is a perfect synergy that creates a film that will live with you long after you’ve left the theatre. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
My Take
MARK HASKINS
minimal conflict. Hank is happily getting on a plane to go back to the city when he gets another call. His father has been arrested. It seems on the night of the funeral the Judge hit and killed someone with his car. The police think it was murder. Hank feels like he has no choice but to stay and defend his father. It’s an almost impossible task. He has to find a way to re-connect with the father who seemingly hates him. They need to work together. They need to forgive each other. Some films grab your attention with action, or dazzling special effects, or with a complicated plot. The Judge draws you in through the emotional complexity of its characters, and the intricacy of their relationships with each other. You get to know these characters intimately. You laugh with them, you cry with them, and when the drama of
Community – Are you at all intrigued by the Camino de Santiago, the renown 800-kilometre pilgrimage in Spain? Maybe you’ve seen the movie The Way, with Martin Sheen. Maybe you know a friend who did it. Maybe it’s even on your bucket list. Well, on Saturday, Nov. 1, you can get a sense of this 1,200-year-old spiritual walk. Wintergreen Studios, an off-grid retreat north of Kingston, is holding a Camino Spirit evening, complete with sights, stories, sounds and tastes of the Camino. From 5:30 p.m. until whenever you choose to leave, you will hear stories, enjoy a three-course Spanish menu inspired by the pilgrim dinners that are prevalent on the Camino, see amazing photographs, hear the late Oliver Shroer’s amazing fiddle music composed and recorded in churches on the Camino, listen to a reading from a local Camino author, and enjoy other tales of Camino magic shared by locals who have been on this life-changing pilgrimage. For those that have the time and inclination, you can come in the early afternoon and enjoy a walk in the truly beautiful 200+ acre property, networked with gentle hiking trails in and around beautiful streams, ponds, and small lakes. You also have an opportunity to stay overnight, enjoy a campfire, and a traditional pilgrim’s breakfast the next morning. A variety of accommodation is available, from rustic shared dormitory style rooms to ones with more privacy and others in nearby cabins. This will be an informal evening, with lots of variety and opportunity to ask questions and share thoughts. One of the lead presenters is Peter Coffman, currently a professor of Architectural History at Carleton University and a pro-
fessional photographer. A decade ago, he and his wife Diane walked the Camino with their good friend, fiddler Oliver Shroer, carrying full recording and photographic equipment, and stopping at churches along the way to record Oliver playing what the Camino inspired him to play. Anita Jansman is a Kingston-area author who wrote a book called One Day I Walk, reflecting on her experiences on the Camino. She will be at the event, reading selections from her book and adding other thought. Joining her will be Jack Hurd, a well-known creative force in the Perth area, who did the Camino in 2012 and 2013, and wrote some amazing blogs from those experiences. He will also be there, sharing thoughts and probably also songs, once the campfire starts. Also joining the group will be Alfred Von Mirbach, another Perthite who completed the Camino in the fall of 2013 and is helping to organize this event. Wintergreen Studios is Wintergreen is a yearround education and retreat centre in the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve in southeastern Ontario. Their work centres on education, culture, and the environment, with a focus on inspiring people. They offer a variety of short courses in the arts, as well as retreat and meeting facilities for individuals and groups. They are located about 15 minutes south and west of Westport on the Canoe Lake Road. The cost for the evening is $40, which includes the three course-dinner. If you choose overnight accommodation, that will range from $20 to $80, depending on what type of accommodation. Visit www.wintergreenstudios.com/caminospirit or call Alex Campbell, the stewardship and program director at Wintergreen at 613-2738745.
