Concerns over a 200-300 per cent increase in traffic at the Abbott and Lombardy Street intersection in the last three years has prompted councillors to implement immediate management solutions, while work on a long-term redesign of the space gets underway.

Town engineering technologist, Vanessa Bernicky presented the August 2015 Traffic Impact Analysis to committee Oct. 13 where it was discovered that traffic turning onto Abbott Street

Staff noted the 2012 study was done

“It’s still apples to apples,” Bernicky said.

An Oct. 28 fashion show fundraiser at the Smiths Falls Legion aims to introduce a flattering fall clothing line from Ashton area designer, Judy Joannou while raising funds to ensure local atrisk teens remain warm this winter.

The inaugural fundraiser will run from 6-9:30 p.m. at the Main Street location. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and activities are expected to begin with a bang. Guests will be asked to pop balloons for a chance to win a door prize. A 50/50 draw will also be sold prior to the 7 p.m. fashion show start.

The catwalk will feature Joannou’s most current ideas for the fall. The Ashton area fibre artist just launched her fall line this September and will be bringing some of her favourite pieces to Smiths Falls.

“She’s well known as a Canadian fashion designer,” said Amy Purcell, event planner for Cornerstone Landing Youth Services, fundraising recipients.

Joannou has been passionately creating since she was 11 years old. As the daughter of a fashion industry executive, Joannou was introduced into the world of sewing at a young age. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in 1984 with a major in fash-

ion design. The allure of love eventually brought Joannou from the fast-paced life of fashion in New York and San Francisco to the Ottawa Valley in the early 1990s when she launched her own company and finally realized the creative freedom she had longed for.

Joannou explains this transformation on her website (www.judyjoannoudesigns.net) where she says: “In the New York fashion industry my designs were a commodity that were bought and sold.

It was about having the right item at the right price. Now, I create collections that reflect me, what I think my customers

further stress if the town is successful in its Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund application that would allow for construction work to take place on the Stone Arch bridge (Beckwith Street) in 2016-17.

“The potential for major delays on Beckwith Street and Abbott Street will greatly increase,” Bernicky said.

To address this stressor on town traffic, councillors supported an immediate change to the traffic signal timing so more traffic can move east to west.

Eighth annual Build A Mountain of Food launches across region The eighth annual Build A Mountain of Food campaign is taking the issue of poverty in Lanark County to social media by launching an extensive online campaign in addition to their traditional methods.

The Oct. 15 launch in Perth formally introduced food bank participants to this year’s social media component of the campaign, which will use video clips featuring each location and loading it onto Town And Country TV (TCTV) – a YouTube channel. “We’re trying to find a way to extend our reach,� explains Shaun Wright, TVCOGECO producer.

The video uploads will be available throughout the entire campaign for the public to view and for participating food banks to post on their social media sites to gain interest. “It’s pretty amazing what we, as a group, can come together and do,� adds Hugh Colton, organizer. “Every pound, every ounce and every cash donation stays right here� in the community in which its donated.

This year’s Build A Mountain of Food will run from Nov. 7 to Dec. 12 across Lanark County, Smiths Falls and part of Leeds-Grenville.

The complete schedule is as follows: • Nov. 7 – Carleton Place (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) at Steve’s Your Independent Grocery, Freshco and Giant Tiger.

Also in Almonte from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer.

All donations from this day will be donated directly to the Lanark County Food Bank in Carleton Place. • Nov. 14 – Perth (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer, Foodsmiths, and Giant Tiger in support of the Perth Good Food Bank.

Also that day, Lanark Highlands will hold its Build A Mountain of Food from 9 a.m. to noon at the Lanark Highland’s Thrift Store. All proceeds from this morning drive will go to the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry. • Nov. 21 – Smiths Falls (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) at Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, Food Basics, Giant Tiger and Garden Market, in support of the Smiths Falls & District Community

Food Bank. • Nov. 28 – Westport (9 a.m. to noon) at Kudrinko’s, in support of the Westport Food Bank.

Also that day Elgin will host its afternoon drive from 1 to 4 p.m. at Gordanier Food Mart and in support of the Elgin Food Bank. • Dec. 5 – Portland from 9 a.m. to noon at Portland Food Market, in support of the Portland Food Bank.

That afternoon, the campaign heads down to Merrickville from 1 to 4 p.m. where you will find the trucks at the Merrickville Food Market. This drive is in support of Merrickville Lions Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign. • Dec. 12 – Build A Mountain heads to Athens from 9 a.m. to noon at the Fresh Market (formerly Freshmart), in support of the Athens Food Bank.

That afternoon they will be heading down to the Delta Country Market from 1 to 4 p.m. in support of the Delta Food Bank.

Many participating locations will offer pre-packaged donation bags for customers to pick up and make a difference this season. These packages are an easy way to donate as they contain many items the local food bank is needing at a savings. Last year, Andress’ Your Independent Grocer cashed through 700 of these bags to the benefit of the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.

If you miss your community’s campaign date, don’t worry because Build A Mountain of Food is coming to three community Santa Claus parades to accept donations. On Nov. 21 the Smiths Falls Santa Claus Parade will welcome the campaign float followed by Carleton Place on Nov. 28 and Perth Dec. 5.

Come to the Smiths Falls parade hungry, as Kevin Grimes will be hosting a barbecue on the corner of Beckwith and Russell Street.

Other organizations have jumped on board to support the Build A Mountain of Food totals for 2015. One of them is Carolina Suites in Perth who will be hosting its own food drive for the duration of the campaign.

Every effort is most appreciated by the area food banks who rely on the annual Build A Mountain of Food to help them gather enough food to provide for local families throughout the win-

For the last seven years, the annual campaign has been able to build on the successes of the years before and hope to do the same this year. Last year, Build A Mountain of Food distributed a combined 124,900 lbs of food and a little more than $51,000 in cash to area food banks. “Let’s hope that we do the same this year,� said Ed Chenard, campaign volunteer who has been with the cause

since the start.

Wendy Quarrington of The Good Food Bank (also known as The Table) said their three-to-five day food allotment per family is something clients are appreciative for, but staff knows it isn’t enough to fill their needs for nourishing food. “There’s always room for more,� Quarrington said.

She has seen many individuals struggle to break free of the bonds of poverty, say-

ing once a person is in a place where their daily needs aren’t met it’s hard for them to focus on anything else. “To bare witness to the resilience of people in their experience of poverty is a humbling experience,� Quarrington said.

The Table strives to educate their clients in addition to providing food staples. The donated items are organized

into stable items that meet a nutritional need and extras. The facility also offers cooking programs and a community meal in their upper hall area.

Organizers thanked the many volunteers who annually make the food drive a success, and encouraged the community to come out through the campaign and say hello to one of the smiling faces beside the campaign truck.

Shoreline enhancement opportunity with Watersheds Canada Tired of mowing your lawn?

Losing your shoreline? Watersheds Canada has an amazing opportunity for you!

The Natural Edge planting program is running this fall and we are looking for shoreline properties who are interested in enhancing the natural beauty of their shoreline.

The program provides an exclusive opportunity for homeowners to enhance their shoreline by planting the native trees, shrubs and groundcovers along the water’s edge.

Courtney Allison, Watersheds Canada’s Natural Edge co-ordinator, explains: “Native species have adapted to regional environmental conditions and are preferred by local wildlife for shelter and food. Planting along shorelines enhances local ecosystems, stabilizes shorelines from erosion, and improves water quality by fil-

tering runoff.”

By participating in the Natural Edge program, you can ensure our waterbodies remain healthy so they can be enjoyed by others for generations to come.

The Natural Edge provides a free site visit with landowners to discuss shoreline concerns, provide recommendations and assess planting conditions. A personalized planting plan is created, which includes photos of selected planting areas and ideal plant species. Plants are ordered, delivered, planted, watered, and mulched by Watersheds Canada staff and owners are provided with shoreline plant care manual which outlines how to ensure the new vegetation thrives, as well as follow-up visits and support.

Participating landowners are asked to contribute only 25 per cent of the total costs for

their site.

“All advice is optional,” Allison adds.

“The goals and wishes of the landowner drive the plan, and we work with landowners to complete projects that are economically feasible on a case-by-case basis. Watersheds Canada coordinates the ordering, delivery and planting, along with tools, materials and labour to complete the project.”

“Landowners can participate in the planting, but it is optional and voluntary,” Allison said.

Fall planting books up quickly, so any shoreline landowner who are interested in a free site visit and want to participate in this unique opportunity should contact Courtney Allison at Watersheds Canada, 613-264-1244, or allison@ watersheds.ca.

About Watersheds Canada Watersheds Canada is a federally incorporated non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity committed

to providing programs in communities across the country to engage and help shoreline owners enhance and protect the health of lakes and riv-

ers. Learn more at www.watersheds.ca or call 613-2641244.

7th Anniversary Christmas Open House

Conservative Reid re-elected but ends up back in opposition Fenik vows to serve out remainder of term as Perth mayor Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Scott Reid will be back in the House of Commons when it resumes sitting, but he won’t be on the government benches.

Reid started off the evening behind his Liberal opponent, Philippe Archambault, which resulted in a feeling of jubilation at The Golden Arrow Pub in Perth.

There were several cheers throughout the night after the polls closed at 9:30 p.m., with announcements made for several Liberal victories – and Conservative defeats – but the biggest jubilation was saved for when the Liberal Party’s seat count rose past 170, the number needed to form a majority government.

While Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston Liberals were excited that Justin Trudeau will be the country’s 23rd prime minister, following in his late father’s footsteps, the polls from around this vast riding were slow in being tallied, but Reid slowly overtook Archambault’s early lead.

“I don’t think anybody saw this,” said a clearly shocked Reid as he watched the results at Fiddleheads’ pub around the corner, his wife Robin by his side, their son asleep at a nearby table.

“Traditional polling methods are not working as well as they used to,”

he said. When asked why Trudeau had won, Reid would only say, “I’m the last person to ask that.” While Team Trudeau won nationally, “that’s not what happened locally,” pointed out Reid.

Reid was very cautious about claiming victory – until it was pointed out that insideottawavalley.com had declared him the victor.

“I’m willing to acknowledge that I’m the winner,” he said graciously. Later, though, he said that “this isn’t the result I would have liked to see, nationally.”

According to Elections Canada, with 232 out of 233 polls reporting, Reid led Archambault by 7,576 votes, 47.9 per cent to 34.0 per cent respectively. The NDP’s John Fenik was at 13.8 per cent,

and Anita Payne of the Green Party was at 3.5 per cent. Libertarian Mark Budd received 0.8 per cent.

Across the country, as of Tuesday morning, the Liberals took 184 seats, including every seat in Atlantic Canada and in the City of Toronto. The Conservatives held 99 seats, while the NDP saw a slide from their all-time 2011 high to 44 seats. The Bloc Quebecois had a resurgence of 10 seats, and Green Party leader Elizabeth May was elected as her party’s sole MP in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

The Liberals saw a staggering gain of 150 seats, while the Conservatives lost See ELECTION page 5

Power of Partnership; Willis College Excels at Filling Jobs and Skills Needs As a security firm, Websense’s recent report reveals that 36% of Canadian businesses reported some type of IT security breach in a 12 month period, it was well-timed that Willis College recently celebrated the success of their Network Security Professional training program at their Arnprior campus at 39 Winner’s Circle. Being on time and on point with relevant skills resources isn’t new to Willis, one of the longest operating private colleges in the country (established in 1896).

On Friday, October 16, talent strategist Fred Nesrallah opened up the Cyber Security Career and Education Day to a packed campus room with representatives from local, regional, and federal governments, as well as officials from Fortune 500 companies, along with Employment Ontario staff, Willis leadership, students, grads, and career seekers. The event was intended to provide information on solid good paying positions in the cybersecurity field, but Mr. Nesrallah and the esteemed presenting panel took the time to deliver well-deserved praise to all the stakeholders in attendance who had a role in forming and delivering an effective, sustainable multi-level partnership.

Thanks to the flexibility in course content and delivery that has been the hallmark of Willis’ success over three centuries, graduates from the 48 week Network Security Professional Diploma program are successful in finding relevant and rewarding career paths. Willis College was able to reach out to industry leaders such as Fortinet and Sophos and work with them to ensure that the right skill sets could be developed and put to the most appropriate use. They brought their students’ financial challenges to Employment Ontario and with their support and Canada Ontario Job Grant assistance, skills accessibility became reality for many area residents.

Sitting on the panel, two of Willis College’s students who are Second Career success stories were overwhelmed by

the support and assistance they received from Willis staff. Tim Craig said it “was like winning the lottery” when he was accepted into the program and obtained the required financial assistance. He also thanked the diligent and effective efforts of Willis’ student support team. More than acquiring a great paying, lucrative and long-term job, Tim was looking forward to a career filled with potential. Knowing that the on-line retail goods and services market is expanding at exponential rates, Willis grads easily find positions where they can apply their drive to make a real difference in the lives of consumers and businesses.

Almost everyone attending the Career Day could relate their own tale of data breaches or those of someone close to them. Their chosen field of network security, will not only make online shopping and businesses safe, but these professionals also know they helped track down and nab IT criminals. With more and more personal data being stored in cloud computing configurations, it is crucial that IT security is ahead of the curve. Willis, with their industry partners, is making that a reality. At the same time, they are offering endless career opportunities at all of their three area campuses: Ottawa, Smiths Falls,

and Arnprior.

Willis, through a wide variety of post-secondary education and training, is able to offer equally rewarding career opportunities to those with other interests.

Recent grad, Heather Cole, who moved to this region from Alberta discovered this when she first started researching public and private education services just a few years ago. She remarked that of all the facilities she reviewed, Willis struck her as the institution most interested in her as an individual and within a very short period of time she graduated and now enjoys a career in human resources with Fortinet.

Heather is not alone with her appreciation of what Willis can help her achieve.

With a wide array of student services such as co-op placements, financial assistance, housing, industry recognized accreditations, workshops in job searching and interview training, a leading number of Willis grads quickly find careers in the fields of business administration, and health-care as well as technology studies. Of all the areas that Willis College exceeds in with excellence, their ability to forge partnerships with industry, business, and government takes them to the head of the class. Willis College is growing thanks to these relationships as noted by Willis CEO and President, Rima Aristocrat. She stated that her team is working with additional IT companies and has the room and capability to expand the college to meet the ever increasing needs for grads with talent and drive.

You can discover the Willis difference for yourself by contacting any of their campus information team members in Ottawa at 613 233 1128, in Smiths Falls at 613 283 1905, or in Arnprior at 613 623 1114 or by logging onto williscollege.com. You’ll quickly and easily find a dedicated career specialist who can help you plot your road-map to a new, rewarding, and successful career. With the Willis team behind you, nothing can hold you back!

But he gave a fair share of the credit for his win to Harper and his party.

“When I hear MPs say, ‘I carried my riding,’ I think they’re kidding themselves,” he said. In this election, “the media seemed to take a very negative view of Stephen Harper, and that was not my experience at the door. More people voted for Stephen Harper than voted for me,” in this riding.

He echoed the outgoing prime minister’s remarks, that “the people are never wrong.”

When asked if he would like to fill Harper’s shoes, he smiled and politely but firmly shut the door on that.

“Thank you for the offer,” he said, adding that he would not speculate on possible leadership contenders.

As for his future in politics, he said he would serve out his current term as mayor.

“For now, I’m just thrilled to be back on municipal council,” he said.

“Leader Elizabeth May was the only MP elected.”

The retired high school science teacher feels her party got caught up “in that red wave that swept the country.”

“First-past-the-post for the next election is gone,” he said.

But he added that “I agree with Scott – ranking (ranked ballots) would be better than proportional representation. We will make a new electoral system.”

He called his Conservative opponent “a good guy,” but said that the reported strained relationship between Reid and Harper – though Reid served as an advisor to Harper in the 1990s – had not been beneficial to the riding.

“Scott and Harper did not get along and it was hard for him to get things done,” said Archambault. “Under Harper, they couldn’t do anything.”

As for his immediate future, Archambault will finish up his management contract to help build a new hospital in Kingston by 2017. As one of 15 Aboriginal Liberal candidates, he took pride in reporting that he looking to work with a green energy company in Kingston that wants to install greenhouses in remote, northern First Nations communities, where much of their food has to be shipped in, and food costs are high.

“We’re seeing how feasible this is,” said Archambault.

As his supporters began to trickle out of the pub, shortly after midnight, Trudeau’s speech in Montreal having ended, he finished up his drink, and with campaign aide Sam Spataro by his side, crossed Foster Street, onto Wilson Street East to concede defeat, having already done so with his supporters. Archambault and Spataro rounded the corner and stopped in front of Fiddlehead’s to find the pub closed, the lights out, the Conservatives departed.

The party was over.

67 seats, with the NDP losing 59 seats.

Shortly after his claimed victory, a familiar face waved through the windows of the pub – it was New Democratic Party candidate and soon-to-be-returning Perth mayor Fenik.

“I’m happy with the campaign we ran,” said Fenik as he shook Reid’s hand outside of the pub.

“You’re a class person.”

Proving this, Reid invited Fenik and his supporters inside the pub, out of the spitting rain.

“The nation was in a mood for change,” Reid said to Fenik.

In discussing early returns from Atlantic Canada, where NDP heavyweights from the region all went down to defeat as the Liberals stole every single one of the area’s 32 seats, Reid attributed it to an attitude of “I’m going to show Harper by voting Liberal.”

Reid watched his party leader, Stephen Harper give his concession speech on the television set from Calgary, before expressing his own feelings about how the evening had gone for himself and his party.

“I’m glad to be back, but sad to be back in opposition,” said Reid. “There are different opportunities, but different challenges,” in opposition.

He said that in his next term, he will continue to push for wider access to defibrillators, and wants to see them added to the arsenal of Royal Canadian Mounted Police cruisers.

“We could save 300 lives a year with this,” he said, with hundreds more that could be saved if other police forces also added them in their cruiser trunks.

Prime Minister-elect Trudeau has said that he will appoint a committee to study proposals for electoral reform, but Reid said he does not want to see a list system of proportional representation, but, rather, one more along the lines used in Australia.

“I think it is a far superior system to the one that Mr. Trudeau is pushing,” he said. He said that that Australian system allows for more local representation, and not a list system controlled by “party bosses.”

He added that he hopes to be able to continue to sit on the human rights committee, but acknowledged that, with the Liberals in office now, he would no longer be the chair. He stressed that bi-partisanship was still possible, that there is always opportunity – if one is willing to share the credit.

“I was pretty confident about this riding,” he admitted, noting that, in Canada’s 42 federal elections, it has voted Liberal only four times, and all of the other times, for the Conservative party

Lanark County continuing commitment to end homelessness Lanark County has joined the 20,000 Homes Campaign – making a further commitment to take action to end homelessness – and plans to be part of Reach Out Week and to host a community forum in November.

The 20,000 Homes Campaign is a national movement led by the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness.

It aims to bring communities together to permanently house 20,000 of Canada’s most vulnerable homeless people

by July 1, 2018.

The alliance calls homelessness a “national emergency requiring urgent and immediate action.”

“Lanark County implemented our 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan in 2014, which declares ending homelessness as one of our priorities,” said Emily Hollington, Lanark County Social Housing caseworker.

“The 20,000 Homes Campaign gives us a chance to see how other commu-

nities across Canada have tried to address this issue and to work together to eradicate it.”

The campaign supports many objectives already identified in the county’s 10-year plan, including lobbying for increased supportive and affordable housing, advocating for a National Housing Strategy, gathering data to understand housing needs and service gaps, coordinating with other services, collecting housing and homelessness statistics for public education, and developing materials to provide to provincial and federal governments in order to seek support to end homelessness.

“Lanark County is joining a growing movement of communities taking urgent and immediate action on homelessness,” said Tim Richter, president and CEO of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness. “Lanark County is also the first rural community in the

country to join the campaign, breaking new ground and reminding Canadians that homelessness is not just a big city problem.”

During Reach Out Week from Nov. 9 to 13, the county plans to engage organizations and community members interested in local housing and homelessness issue to canvass shelters, service providers, drop-in centres, hospitals, etc. to conduct short health and housing surveys with anyone experiencing homelessness who wishes to participate.

“Reach Out Week is a housing intervention,” Ritcher explained.

“It is designed get actionable person-specific information to begin the housing process. The top priority is action and creating a sense of urgency.”

The survey questions will relate directly to people’s housing stability and will highlight areas where there

are high levels of risk to people in our community who are experiencing homelessness.

The information will be compiled and brought back to the “Community Solutions to Homelessness” forum on Nov. 17, which is open to anyone interested in learning more about the campaign, the survey results and next steps.

“These activities will help us to understand Lanark County’s situation so that we can plan and prioritize resources and educate the community,” said Nancy Green, Social Services director.

“We will use this information to assess whether we are providing the right types of services and supports, to help us improve and to highlight the importance of and need for additional affordable housing.”

Nov. 17 forum

The community forum will take place Nov. 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (registration from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.) at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls.

The day features the Lanark County 20,000 Homes Campaign results; information about the county’s 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan; Mike Bulthuis from Ottawa Alliance to End Homelessness; Dr. Tim Aubry, Faculty Research Chair in Community Mental Health and Homelessness at Ottawa University; and an expert panel discussion.

There is no cost, and lunch is provided. Space is limited.

Please register by Oct. 27 by emailing housingapplications@lanarkcounty.ca or by calling 1-888-952-6275 ext. 2402. For more information on the 20,000 Homes Campaign please visit www.20khomes.ca.

Health unit reminds residents flu season is fast approaching to those at most risk and then soon after to the rest of the population.

Please discuss your level of risk with your health care provider.

These individuals are at greater risk for serious complications from the flu: very young children, pregnant women, people over 65, and adults and children with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, respiratory, cardiac, kidney disease or cancer.

The flu shot is the safest way to protect yourself and your family and friends from the influenza virus.

The vaccine protects about 70 per cent of people who get a flu shot.

However, the protection rate in seniors is less, as their immune systems are weaker. You may still get the flu even though you received your flu shot but being vaccinated will help to reduce the severity of your symptoms.

You cannot get the flu from receiving a flu shot.

The flu vaccine does not contain live virus and thus is incapable of giving you the flu.

Most people have no reaction to having a flu vaccine while some report having tenderness at the injection site for a few days.

After receiving a flu shot some people may experience a mild fever, feeling

tired, or having muscle aches and this is considered a normal reaction to having a vaccination. It is not the flu.

The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) executive director facing criminal charges had her first court appearance Monday, Oct. 19 at the Perth courthouse.

Rhonda Fleming didn’t appear before the court on the charges of failing to stop or remain at the scene of an accident and obstructing a police officer, as well as the Highway Traffic Act violation for driving a motor vehicle without an interlock device.

Fleming has retained Ottawa criminal lawyer Bruce Engel of Engel & Associates as counsel, who through an associate, requested one month to receive disclosure

and arraignment was waived.

Fleming’s next court appearance is set for Monday, Nov. 16 at 9 a.m. in Courtroom 1 of the Smiths Falls courthouse.

Her arraignment date is scheduled for Nov. 30.

The charges stem from an Aug. 24 incident in Smiths Falls, where, according to a Smiths Falls Police report, Fleming hit an off duty police officer’s vehicle in the parking lot of a local restaurant.

“The female was driving a local business vehicle of her own and left the scene of the accident,” the report stated.

“The officer followed the female to another business where she abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.”

None of these charges have been proven in court.

Influenza is a preventable illness that can be very dangerous to some individuals.

Because influenza is extremely contagious and is capable of spreading rapidly from person to person, it is important for individuals to follow these steps to protect themselves as well as others in the community: Get a flu shot, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, keep frequently touched hard surfaces clean and disinfected, cover your cough, and stay home when you are sick.

Flu vaccine provides adults and children with active immunity against the influenza virus. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit recommends annual immunization against influenza for any persons over six months of age. There is a new flu vaccine produced each year to protect against the three strains of influenza most commonly circulating during the flu season.

Pregnant women are recommended to receive the influenza vaccine. Children who are over the age of six months and under the age of nine and are getting the flu shot for the first time should get a second dose one month later.

Flu vaccine will be available by mid October

Change as good as a rest?

rom the very start, there was something different about the 2015 federal election, including that it was one of the longest campaigns in Canadian history at 78 days long and the first time since 1930 when a prime minister tried to earn a fourth consecutive term.

Unless you’ve been away from the Internet, television or social media, we now know we will have a new Prime Minister of Canada in Justin Trudeau. Add to that, a Liberal majority government with 184 seats, which is something that hasn’t been seen in years. The Liberals also have the distinction of becoming the first federal party in the country’s history to win an election without being the government or Official Opposition. The Conservatives would end up winning just 99 seats, losing 60 seats to the Liberals.

The performance of the NDP was another big story, who also gave 51 seats away to the Liberal Party. What was once a hopeful period at the beginning of the campaign

with the NDP performing positively in the polls, turned out quite the opposite.

For our newsroom, this was the first election campaign in a long while where you could tell change was afoot. Candidates seemed to be better versed in policies and came from a wide background, with expertise in health care, social work, municipal politics, as well as climate change.

People seemed open to new ideas and parties. That was evidenced in the Liberals capturing all the seats in Atlantic Canada and downtown Toronto. However, our local ridings of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston and Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes stayed true to their traditional blue roots. Incumbent MPs Scott Reid and Gord Brown easily won their ridings to represent constituents in the House of Commons for another term, albeit as members of the Opposition this time.

The road to this election has been an interesting one. We have a feeling that the next few years may be as well.

Election Day in Montreal brings Canadian voting journey full circle fice on my way back to the Metro station. I didn’t see the spaceman, but I did meet his wife, who told me that I could pick up an autograph if I came back the next morning.

(A phone call the next day from Madame Garneau informed me that, because of the late election night – with our new Prime Minister-elect, Justin Trudeau, not speaking until after midnight at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, also in Montreal - informed me that the Garneau office would be closed, and that the autograph would be mailed to wee Michaela instead.)

The atmosphere in the office on election day was electric. Still not knowing how it would go, and learning that I had been to two polling sta-

New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair, the outgoing Leader of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition, addresses the party faithful at the Montreal Congress Centre on election night.

I was surprised he did not resign, considering that his party lost about 59 seats (interestingly, the same number of seats it won in Quebec in 2011), but even his opponents will agree – he’s a fighter.

What a change from when I saw him this past July, joking at the London Convention Centre about being a weatherman for a day on CHCH Television in Hamilton, with the audience a twitter about what might be, finishing the dream Jack Layton set out.

Momentum can be lost so quickly.

Garneau’s goose chase Earlier in the day, this paper had contacted the campaign of Notre-Dame-de-Grace-Westmount candidate Marc Garneau, who was Canada’s first man in outer space in 1984.

I missed seeing him vote at the Victoria Hall Community Centre when the polls opened, but I was told that he would be visiting polling stations throughout the riding that afternoon, and he would be told that I wanted a quick word.

I wanted to meet Garneau for a number of reasons. Firstly, I wanted to see how the man who narrowly avoided the Orange Crush of 2011 – he went to bed early on the morning of May 3 thinking he had lost to the NDP – was feeling about his party’s chances today. But more important than that, I wanted to get

an autograph for my granddaughter Michaela, who wants to be an astronaut. She has a magazine photo of superstar astronaut – pun intended – Chris Hadfield taped on her wall.

I felt a bit like a candidate myself, traipsing all over the working class neighbourhood lovingly referred to as NDG, trying to keep up with Garneau. He still must be travelling on space shuttle speed, because I kept missing him. I arrived at Ecole St-Luc for 1:30 p.m., as instructed – only to be told I had missed him by half an hour. I hoofed it down various Irish-named streets – Connaught, O’Bryan, etc. – to get to the West Montreal United Church, for 3 p.m., again, to be told that I had missed him, this time by an hour.

No wonder he won the riding – it’s hard to hit a moving target!

(With all 213 polls reporting, Garneau took 57.7 per cent of the vote, beating his NDP opponent by 18,404 votes.)

At St-Luc, there was a steady stream of people, coming and going all the time. I could see that this election is important for a lot of people, and it was pretty exciting. It was also steady at the United Church, and judging by what I saw at these two polls, I was not surprised that turnout was up across the country from 2011.

I decided to give it one last try, and hit the Garneau campaign of-

and profiled in these very pages, just a few short days ago, Science and Technology Minister Ed Holder, had gone down to defeat in London West, losing to Liberal Kate Young by 7,138 votes.

I also got to see spin up close and personal on Monday night. It was announced on the big screen that the minimum losses suffered by any party had been by the NDP. Now that’s quite the spin!

It was also a very bizarre night in many ways. There were cheers when former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney – a man who knows something about racking up majority wins – was interviewed on screen, saying that one must not underestimate Trudeau. Well, there’s one Conservative who thinks he’s ready, though, in fairness, I don’t think Harper and Mulroney have been getting along of late.

The languages on the television screens alternated between English and French, and whenever too much attention was being paid to the Liberal ascendancy, someone would change the channel.

Remarkably, I saw cheering from the journalists whenever an NDP seat was won.

Everyone was moved towards the stage for leader Thomas Mulcair’s arrival, like at a rock concert, and it was amazing to be so close to the man who, even a month-and-ahalf ago, was seriously being talked about as our next prime minister.

(Editor’s Note: After voting in the advance polls in his home riding of Elgin-Middlesex-London for the first time ever as a Canadian citizen, we sent our occasional columnist Desmond Peter Devoy to Montreal to take the pulse of Canada’s second largest city on Election Day.) The tears started flowing as the seat count went into freefall.

Like many voters, I usually watch the election results at home on television, or listen while driving in the car.

Not this year.

I came to Canada in 1970 on a Polish ship, the TSS Stephan Batory, with my wife and our threeyear-old daughter Mina. It docked just blocks away from the Montreal Congress Centre, or, en Francais, le Palais de Congres (everything sounds better in French), where New Democrats gathered on election night, so, in a way, it was a homecoming of sorts.

Also, according to Irish Connections Canada magazine, Mulcair traces his ancestry back to my homeland, Ireland – County Limerick in fact, so, sure, isn’t he one of the boys from home?!

The Canada I entered in 1970 was a different place then, politically and in other ways.

Joey Smallwood, Canada’s last living Father of Confederation, was still in office in Newfoundland. There were still Social Credit governments in Alberta and British Columbia. Pierre Elliot Trudeau was still riding a wave of Trudeaumania, coupled with his Just Society program. And in Montreal, where we boarded a train west for our first Canadian home in Vancouver, the Union Nationale was in its final term in office.

We arrived in a Quebec where separatists were then just a fringe minority. The October Crisis was months away, and the Canadian movie classic Goin’ Down The Road, had just been released prior to our arrival.

On this night, though, history was still being made – and not to the NDP’s benefit.

The poor fellow I saw crying just broke down in tears in front of me, but he was quickly and humanely led away by his friends, as confused security guards quickly melted back into the woodwork.

In spite of this, the hall continued to fill up throughout the evening, and became quite loud and boisterous, a welcome change from when I arrived and felt zero buzz.

The floor attendants had looked somber, to say the least, although the official who gave me my lanyard was upbeat.

I had opportunity to gasp myself later when I saw that a Conservative candidate I had interviewed,

tions already, the Liberals wanted to know: “Have you heard anything?� They were clearly concerned, in part because they were hearing rumblings of a Bloc Quebecois resurgence. (Indeed, the Bloc did take 10 seats at the end of the evening, but returned leader Gilles Duceppe failed in his bid to retake the seat he had lost four years ago.)

I had taken my son to Montreal exactly 20 years ago, when he was just an eager reporter for his high school newspaper, to the Unity Rally mere days before the Quebec separation referendum in 1995.

This vote may not have been of that magnitude, but it was still exciting to watch, up close and personal.

LETTER From page 8

back roads or narrow urban streets. Some school bus drivers have three different bus loads of kids each morning and night, and may be expected to remember more than 200 bus stops.

School bus drivers are part of virtually every community and rural area in Ontario. They are professionals who have retired early from a previous career, seniors looking for a part-time job, or a stay-at-home parent. Often, they are your next door neighbour.

School bus drivers are dedicated professionals who must meet Ministry of Transportation standards for a “B” class driver’s license. They receive hours of specialized training, including written exams and road tests. They complete certified driver improvement courses and must take periodic ministry administered re-examinations and regular medical exams. Their driving records and criminal records are screened to a standard higher than any other class of license.

Training is an annual company requirement and includes refresher courses in Highway Traffic Act regulations,

in-vehicle technology, and defensive driving techniques. Drivers keep current on the dynamics of their vehicles including different types of braking systems, the school bus danger zones and fuel efficiency, to name just a few.

Long before most students are out of bed in the morning, their school bus driver is performing a pre-trip inspection, completing a detailed checklist of every safety feature. When temperatures dip below -20 C, the process of starting a frozen bus is a thankless task.

If you are in the school bus industry, the alarm goes off long before 6 a.m. The first students board shortly after 7 a.m. and 71 passengers later they arrive at school. As soon as the last of those passengers enters the school, many drivers head out to the first pick up on the second route of the morning.

School bus drivers follow special rules for SK and JK students. A parent or guardian must be with their child for pick up and drop off. It’s the driver’s responsibility to know who can – and can’t – meet the child at the bus stop. If a parent is not at the drop off, the driver cannot let the child off, and must take

the child back to school and school officials. It’s a responsibility fraught with challenges.

While the job title is “School Bus Driver”, the job description involves much more than driving. It goes without saying that bus drivers must be aware at all time of the traffic conditions and hazards, but the chaotic nature of boarding and deboarding at bus loading zones requires everyone’s full attention. Distracted driving takes on a whole new meaning as a school bus driver.

More recently, safe transportation includes the responsibility to ensure that school buses are a bully-free zone.

While teachers monitor bullying in the classroom and school yards, school bus drivers must monitor bullying in a mobile environment, complete with construction, detours, and congestion. And it’s not just what happens inside the bus.

School bus drivers must monitor other drivers’ violations such as illegally passing a stopped school bus. It’s hard to believe, but even with flashing red lights and a stop arm in the shape of a stop sign protruding into the lane of traffic, cars still pass stopped school buses.

During School Bus Safety Week, please take a moment to thank your child’s school bus driver and let them know how much you appreciate their dedication and professionalism.

Well! There was Marguerite right up to the table at the back of the room, grabbed a glass of Kik, took as many cookies as her hand could handle, and headed right up to the man from the school board.

“I knew how to spell that word, and I would have done it right, but the sun was in my eyes from the windows across the room, and I really think that’s why I got mixed up, and I wonder if you would excuse my mistake.”

Well, it was time for the usual calm and collected Miss Crosby to take action. She marched right up to Margue-

rite, took a hold of her arm, removed the cookies from her hand, passed the glass of Kik over to Grace from Senior Fourth, and ordered Marguerite to sit down and told her she didn’t want to hear a peep out of her until the school day was over!

Well, there sat Miss Prim! She glared at the rest of us as if we were dirt on the floor. Her drugstore curls, her black Mary Jane shoes, her white stockings and her store-bought underwear didn’t mean a thing. What cut it with Miss Crosby was honest and good manners.

Good Food for a Healthy Baby in Lanark & Leeds/Grenville Counties The following is the next installment in a bi-weekly series on Connections, which offers a range of valuable services to Lanark County families.

Connections Program for families is a non-profit agency which is part of Lanark Community Programs, (part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services). It is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community.

Good Food for a Healthy Baby is a free prenatal drop-in program offered to women and their partners in Lanark and Leeds/Grenville Counties. This program began in 1996 and expanded a few years later.

Women and their partners can drop-in and enjoy a healthy snack and meet with other parents and their babies.

One week a discussion takes place on topics such as preterm labour or breastfeeding, the other week there is a group cooking class with an

emphasis on healthy eating and low budget planning. Other health care professionals such as public health nurses or dietitians are available and all groups are facilitated by a Connections staff member.

Participants have access to free prenatal vitamins and a weekly fruit and vegetable gift card. Up to date information and take home resources are always available.

Good Food for a Healthy Baby is federally funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, under the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program. Its National goal is to improve maternal and infant health, reduce the incidence of unhealthy birth weights, promote and support breastfeeding, build partnerships and strengthen community supports for pregnant women. There are approximately 330 prenatal programs similar to Connections Good Food for a Healthy Baby across Canada.

Audiences love Norm Foster comedy at Station Theatre to the stage of the Station Theatre. First week audiences were delighted with the result: “We’re glad we came; the cast did a superb job with Foster’s play,” said one patron on leaving the theatre.

“Fantastic, I can’t remember when I laughed so much in such a short time,” said another. And an out-of-towner added: “This is our first time in this theatre; it won’t be our last.” There was also this

email sent to the Station Theatre: “I just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed Sadie Flynn…We took in last night’s show and we are pretty amazed at the talent that your theatre group has.”

Norm Foster’s Big Oak is a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business. Tom Shaw owns a diner in town. Orson Hubble, his best friend,

works with him. Bev Dupuis runs the local hair salon and Rachel Blessington is the local telephone operator who enjoys intimate access to all the goings on of all the locals through the phone lines.

But nothing new really ever happens here – that is until the day Sadie Flynn, convicted husband murderer, comes to town on the bus.

Coleman, who also plays the title role of Sadie, has been involved in an impressive repertoire of comedies and most recently acted in and directed this spring’s offering of Love From a Stranger. The part of Orson Hubble is played by Jamie Schoular – always a fan favourite – who was most recently seen as one of the two stars of the riotous comedy Leading Ladies, produced at the Station Theatre in February. Tom Shaw is played by Hugh McCulloch who has performed with the Mississippi Mudds in Carleton Place and in theatres in Merrickville, Perth and Smiths Falls.

The give-and- take between these two lead actors is truly electric: spot on in their characterizations and brilliant in their delivery of many funny double entendres, these guys’ antics create the comic thrust of the entire piece.

Nicki Hayes, who takes on the role of Bev Dupuis, and Christine Winter, who plays Rachel the nosey telephone operator, provide a “romantic” undercurrent to the proceedings, although most of it

R0013021901

Choose a play with likeable characters, recruit an all-star cast with a reputation for hilarious comedy; build a bright and cheerful set that puts the audience in the right frame of mind and you have a recipe for a great theatrical experience.

That’s precisely what director Katharine Coleman has done to bring Norm Foster’s Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak

Merry melodies could be heard throughout Merrickville Oct. 15 to 18 during the fifth annual Merrickville’s Jazz Fest. Opening with a sponsor appreciation evening Oct. 15, visitors were treated to a weekend of jazz at a variety of different venues. Above, on

Friday afternoon at Merrickville United Church, The Jazz CO-OP had a large crowd take in their performance. Left, bassist Alex Bilodeau, background, and guitarist Garry Elliot. Above, leader and popular Ottawa saxophonist Vince Rimbach.

turns out to be just talk. Nicki has made her mark in a number of shows, most recently as the feisty granddaughter in Nana’s Naughty Knickers. Christine he has been involved in the theatre for about five years both onstage and behind the scenes, most recently as the scene stealer in Nana’s Naughty Knickers. These gals have some pretty hilarious lines of their own!

Performances of the play take place at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 23 and 24 and at 2 p.m. on Oct. 25 (matinee). Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students (with ID), with special group rates also available. Call the Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details and to order by credit card. Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street East, online (smithsfallstheatre.com, via Paypal/Visa/Mastercard), and at the door for cash only (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). The Station Theatre, we remind you, is located at 53 Victoria Avenue, Smiths Falls.

We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows – like Here Comes the Train with two performances on Nov. 7; and the movie Mr. Holmes on Nov. 20 and 21 – by going to our website (above) or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre).

Sister City experience good for any community, columnist writes main streets are mirror images of each other. And that is quite accurate actually.

This Saturday (Oct. 24) the 10th anniversary of the Carleton Place-Franklin linkage will be celebrated during a special dinner-dance at the local arena hall.

All residents of Carleton Place and district are welcome to attend and tickets are still available.

This weekend’s celebration aside, my point this week is to sell Sister Cities to people and communities who don’t already have such relationships.

The main project here has been the Youth Exchange Program we began operating with Franklin in 2006. It was later expanded to include Comrie. As a result many students from Carleton Place, Beckwith Township and Missis-

During their stays the students are billeted with the families of their “twins” in the respective communities. They attend school, go on excursions including visits to sites where they learn about the history of the communities and the countries they visit. They also have an opportunity to experience the lifestyle and learn about the workings of the respective nations and communities, including their systems of government.

Until 2004 I had never heard of Franklin, Tennessee. If the Sister City Committee in our adopted hometown of Carleton Place had not – through the strangest set of circumstances – gotten involved with the same committee in the growing city in Middle Tennessee it is possible I might never have become familiar with Franklin. Looking back, what a terrible shame that would have been!

Franklin is one of two sister communities of Carleton Place. The other is the village of Comrie in the Scottish Highlands. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Carleton Place-Franklin connection. Our town’s twinning with Comrie goes back 23 years, to 1992.

The Carleton Place-Comrie connection is a natural. Many of the first settlers in eastern Lanark County, including what are now Beckwith Township, Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place, immigrated to Canada from the Perthshire Region of Scotland (which includes Comrie) early in the 19th century. They were among the first farmers, millwrights, craftspeople, postmasters and public officials in this region.

If you visit the oldest cemeteries in the district you will readily find headstones marking the final resting places of so many of the first settlers. Many of those markers include the names of the places they were born. Towns and villages with names like St. Fillans, Pitlochry, Crieff, Blairgowrie, Methven, Muthill and yes, Perth.

The Carleton Place-Comrie linkage is an historic one. So when the idea of a twinning was first proposed in the early 1990s, by a Point Claire, Quebec resident who hails from Comrie, the idea resonated with the Carleton Place council of the day headed by the late Mayor Melba Barker. The linkage has resulted in numerous Trans-Atlantic excursions involving officials, local people and groups from both communities.

Some truly wonderful personal relationships have been established which continue to be nurtured to this day.

Friends of ours from Comrie flew home

cities and I have seen firsthand how much the young people enjoy the opportunity of an organized, educational visit to another country. Some of the kids have formed friendships we are certain will last a lifetime. Some of them later traveled to see each other independently. Expenses are shared by the host committee and the students although the cost for the young people is just half the air fare and their spending money. It’s been a very rewarding program.

At the same time we are looking at other opportunities to introduce the general public to the Sister City program in an effort to explain why such relationships are beneficial.

Here at least it costs taxpayers nothing. Our 13-member committee now raises all of its own operating funds through events and activities including this weekend’s dinner-dance.

Everyone needs a helping hand at times and initially town council supported the Sister City Committee with a small annual stipend. That money was earmarked for receptions and formal events involving official delegates from our sister communities.

A few years ago that stopped and although we are officially a committee of council, we do not receive taxpayer support.

That allows us to operate with some autonomy and lessens criticism from the minority who feel supporting such a program financially isn’t worthwhile.

The Carleton Place-Franklin connection has sparked interest at the United States Embassy in Ottawa. The American ambassador to Canada and his staff would like to see more “hands across the border” arrangements such as ours which they feel will help strengthen the already strong relationship between our nations.

At a meeting at the US Embassy in Ottawa three years ago, an official from Sister Cities International, which is based in Washington DC, said the Carleton Place-Franklin twinning was one of only 25 such relationships involving the US and Canada they are

aware of.

European twinnings When you consider what is happening in Europe and other areas of the world with respect to sister communities that is a very small number.

The number of arrangements involving towns and cities in England and France alone is significant. That situation arose from the Second World War and England’s role in helping liberate France from the occupation by Hitler’s Germany.

Interestingly many German communities are twinned with places in France. My wife and I have seen the signs advertising those connections during our visits to both nations. Old wounds heal when communities work together.

In this country it is intriguing to note how many centres in China are twinned with cities and towns in British Columbia.

I’ve been told the number is more than 40 and growing, largely due to Chinese immigration to Canada and in particular BC’s lower mainland.

I think that is wonderful but I would love to see more Canadian and American communities formally linked.

So, why is Sister Cities important?

To me the answer lies in the fact that when people from different countries interact they develop a totally different perspective. If you aren’t familiar with a particular country, what better way to get to know about it!

I think there is room for improvement in Canada-US relations, meaning that every little bit helps. To me the missing ingredient lies in the word “understanding.” We don’t understand each other on so many occasions and while Canadians at least know something about our heavily populated neighbour with the big economy, I feel too many Americans, especially those who don’t live near the border, are often totally unfamiliar with Canada.

I love watching the weather on one of the so-called “television superstations” we get as part of our cable package.

On their weather map, the

area above the 49th parallel appears as one solid patch of white. And the weather person loves to say things like, “A cold front is expected to move in from Canada this weekend!”

Too many Americans view Canada strictly as a land of ice, snow populated by people in mukluks and parkas who love to direct “nasty weather” their way.

There’s no question we have a lot to learn about each other. Beyond exchange visits, twinning with communities in other countries provides an opportunity to see firsthand how other places have developed, how they are run and how they are governed.

We can then take the best ideas home and apply lessons learned elsewhere in our own municipalities.

Such opportunities are unlimited judging from what I have seen. There is work involved in making these things happen, but that’s what makes Sister Cities worthwhile.

To me, standing above everything else, is the chance to meet people from other countries, see how they live and learn by communicating oneon-one.

I know that people in our community, including many young people, have been enriched by the experiences they’ve had as a result of Carleton Place’s Sister City program.

On the personal front, the friendships my wife and I have made with people in Tennessee and Scotland are something we treasure. This month alone we have friends from both communities staying with us. That’s the kind of opportunity Sister Cities provides.

To me the potential of Sister Cities is unlimited. I think it’s something every community should consider.

Recognizing the warning signs of addiction d n e k e e HOuseW is key to dealing with substance abuse Peter Kunst

At Newgate 180, our highlytrained staff help hundreds of people every year reclaim their lives from addiction.

We recognize the signs of addictive behaviour because we have been there and we have seen what addiction and substance abuse can do to a person’s life – both personally and professionally.

But what about people who are not trained to recognize addictive behaviour?

This column is aimed at those who may suspect an employee, a friend or a family member has a problem with drugs, but just isn’t sure. The following paragraphs will outline some of the things to look for and recognize and will provide a way to move forward to get those you know who are struggling with addiction to recapture their lives once and for all.

The most common signs of drug abuse include the neglecting of your responsibilities at school, work, or home and also that you’re using drugs under dangerous conditions or taking risks while high, such as driving while on drugs, using dirty needles, or having unprotected sex.

In addition, you may be a drug abuser if your use is getting you into legal trouble, such as arrests for disorderly conduct, driving under the influence, or stealing to support a drug habit.

Finally, you may be a drug abuser if your drug use is caus-

ing problems in your relationships, such as fights with your partner or family members, an unhappy boss, or the loss of old friends.

For those who have progressed beyond drug abuse to full-blown addiction, there are a number of clear signs. Those addicted have usually built up a drug tolerance and need to use more of the drug to experience the same effects achieved with smaller amounts.

In addition, addicts take drugs to avoid or relieve withdrawal symptoms. If you go too long without drugs, you experience symptoms such as nausea, restlessness, insomnia, depression, sweating, shaking, and anxiety.

In addition, addicts lose all control over their drug use and often do drugs or use more than they planned, even though they have told themselves they wouldn’t.

You may want to stop using, but you feel powerless.

Warning signs Drug abusers often try to conceal their symptoms and downplay their problem. If you’re worried that a friend or family member, or employee might be abusing drugs, look for the following warning signs, including: bloodshot eyes, pupils larger or smaller than usual, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, sudden weight loss or weight gain and deterioration of physical appearance, personal grooming habits.

There are also behavioural patterns to look for, includ-

ing: a drop in attendance and performance at work or school, unexplained need for money or financial problems; may borrow or steal to get it. Also, included in this area are sudden changes in friends, favourite hangouts and hobbies.

Finally, there are several psychological changes that are present with the drug addict, including: unexplained change in personality or attitude, sudden mood swings, irritability, or angry outbursts, periods of unusual hyperactivity, agitation, or giddiness and lack of motivation; appears lethargic or “spaced out.”

If the preceding information sounds like you or someone you know, intervention is the first and most important step in helping to break the cycle of drug addiction. That intervention includes finding a program that will offer the addicted individual the help they need in a caring and private setting that treats the underlying issues of addiction to prevent post-treatment relapse.

Next time, we will explore the warning signs of alcohol addiction and discuss various treatment options.

Peter Kunst is the executive director of Newgate 180 Addiction Solutions in Merrickville, Ontario. He has been treating those with addiction and substance abuse issues for more than 30 years. Every two months, Kunst’s column will appear and will tackle a different aspect of addiction and substance abuse programming.

Junior Stars applications now open for Tim Hortons Brier March 5-13 The 2016 Tim Hortons Brier will bring the best male curlers to Ottawa from March 5-13 and 24 young curlers from the area will be part of the experience!

Applications for the 2016 Tim Hortons Brier Junior Stars program are now open.

Curlers aged 12-16 from the Ottawa Valley region are eligible to register for the chance to become a Junior Star. Twentyfour Junior Stars will receive a day of VIP treatment with a draw ticket for themselves and two parents/guardians, a 2016 Tim Hortons Brier event jacket, and event pin.

ence isn’t limited to their seat in the stands. Each Junior Star will be matched with one of the teams competing at the Brier.

The junior star will get a chance to meet the team, get a photo with them, and take part in a special on-ice, pre-game ceremony.

The experience will go beyond ice level, too. Junior Stars will receive a tour of the TSN mobile production truck and learn how the sport is broadcasted into millions of homes each season.

Winners will be responsible for their own accommodations, transportation, parking, and

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK OCTOBER 18 TO 24, 2015 Owning a business is the goal of many wouldbe entrepreneurs. Being your own boss has certain perks, including making your own hours and not having to report to anyone but yourself.

But owning a business is a lot of work, especially for new business owners trying to get their businesses off the ground. According to Bloomberg, eight out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within 18 months of opening their doors.

The Small Business Association indicates the numbers are not so dire, saying 30 percent of new businesses fail in the first two years of operation; 50 percent during the first five years; and 66 percent during the first 10.

Local businesses face an uphill battle to survive, but there are many things residents can do to support these valuable additions to their communities.

• Shop locally. Shopping locally not only supports local businesses, but it also contributes to the local economy. Shopping locally keeps money in the community, which can benefit everyone. Shopping locally produces a trickle-down effect, as local businesses that are thriving may patronize other local businesses, and so on. This, in turn, helps grow other businesses in the community, making

it a nicer place to live and work.

• Spread the word. Word-of-mouth advertising is effective. A respected member of the community who shares a good experience with a local business may propel others to patronize the business. Speak up when you feel a business owner has provided an exceptional level of service. Recommend a company to friends and neighbors. You also may want to review a business via online rating websites such as Yelp or Angie’s List.

• Attend grand openings. Each community is unique, and often the vibe of a community is defined by the businesses that call that community home. Attend grand openings to show you are invested in the quality and vitality of your community. When others see a business doing well, they may be more inclined to shop there as well.

• Apply for work. Another way to support a local business is to work for one. Small local businesses employ millions of people across the country, and many foster great working environments.

In addition, small businesses are known for their customer service, and employees often become experts in their products and services because of the hands-on experience they gain while working for small businesses.

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK OCTOBER 18 TO 24, 2015

Developing a small business budget Budgeting is important for businesses big and small. But while corporations or larger organizations might be able to stretch their budgets when necessary, small businesses often don’t have the luxury of such leeway.

Because small businesses are often less financially flexible than their larger competitors and counterparts, small business owners tend to agonize over their budgets when starting out. Part of that struggle may stem from small business owners who specialize in their trade but have little experience at running a business. But determining a small business budget is essential to a business’ success, as it helps owners determine if they have enough money to fund the business and its potential expansion while also providing owners with a steady income.

Each industry is different, and budgets that work for one business will not necessarily work for another. But the following tips can help business owners develop an effective budget for their businesses regardless of their industries.

* Understand your industry. Understanding your industry and knowing your product are two different things. When establishing a budget for a new business, small business owners should familiarize themselves with the industry they will be joining. Calculate the cost of machinery and materials. The prices of materials can fluctuate depending on supply and demand, but small business owners developing a budget can research how such costs fluctuated in the past or speak with current business owners to determine how much of their initial cash supply and future revenue will need to be allocated to production costs.

Another thing to learn about the industry is if there are certain trends that may dictate your revenue stream. For example, a surf shop likely won’t bring in as much revenue in the winter as it will in the summertime. Such trends are not exclusive to seasonal businesses, and business owners need to take them into consideration when developing a budget for their businesses. Doing so will

help you stay afloat during those times of year when your industry traditionally struggles. If you fail to do so, you may be forced to lay off workers, close your doors or both.

• Know what to do with your revenue.

Developing a budget for a startup can be tricky, as it’s hard to know how to allocate your revenue when you don’t know how much revenue your business is going to generate. But that doesn’t mean you can’t allocate that yet-to-be-earned revenue. In fact, doing just that is entirely necessary.

Determining your operating costs, which include cost of materials, labor, the rent or mortgage on the property where your business is housed and taxes among other expenses, helps you know how much revenue you’ll need to generate to make the business work. Knowing the percentage of revenue that needs to go toward your operating costs can help you develop a realistic budget that gets you through the first few months when it’s hard to determine just how much revenue the business is likely to generate.

• Give yourself some breathing room.

When developing a budget for your small business, it’s important to build some breathing room into that budget. This can provide some leeway should your estimated revenue fall short of your actual revenue or your business takes off and you suddenly find yourself in need of money in order to meet customer demand and/or expand the business and its staff.

In addition, factoring in some breathing room will come in handy should costs beyond your control, such as rent or the cost of materials, suddenly rise.

• Develop a secondary emergency budget. Figures regarding the survival rates of new small businesses vary significantly. Conventional wisdom has long suggested such businesses fail far more often than they succeed, and many go up in flames rather quickly. However, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly half of all new businesses survive five years or more, and about one-third survive a decade or more. But surviving five years is not necessarily

a 50-50 proposition, as small business owners who plan ahead for emergencies are likely in better positions to make it to 10 years than those that don’t. When developing a secondary emergency budget, include cost-cutting measures, which can make it easier to make tough decisions if money becomes tight but bills still need to be paid. Adversity is to be expected, so having a plan in place should you need to make changes makes it easier to manage that adversity.

• Review the budget regularly. Once the business has opened, owners should review their budgets to determine if money is being spent as wisely as possible.

You may have overestimated certain costs, which can free up money to grow the business. Larger businesses can afford to establish yearly budgets because they have more financial flexibility. But small businesses are more vulnerable to volatile markets or unexpected costs, so small business owners should review their budgets more frequently and make changes they feel are necessary.

Congratulations to our BIA Members would like to extend our congratulations to all of our BIA members who celebrated an anniversary this year. Your drive to succeed and build your business is based on your enthusiasm, your hard work and your diligence.

Don’t miss musical breast cancer fundraiser in Perth this Saturday This Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Perth Legion, local rock & roll band The Shambles, along with their special guest Lanark’s own Theresa Scott, are putting the power of the Beatles, Elvis, Roy Orbison, the Eagles and lots more to work for breast cancer research.

“We’ve hopefully made this fundraiser affordable for everyone, because so many people have been touched by this terrible disease in one way or another,” says Shambles founder Paul Roach “We want to fill the legion hall with great music and dancing feet!”

Perth merchants have donated literally thousands of dollars worth of items for door prizes and a silent auction, everything from restaurant gift cards to rounds of golf and gift baskets. In all,

more than 60 different Perth businesses and community individuals have joined the cause. And since every aspect of the event has been donated ¬– including the hall, the band, sandwiches, snacks and more – every nickel raised will go to breast cancer research and the Wheels of Hope program, which provides transportation for cancer patients in our community.

Don’t miss this fun and important musical fundraiser, Saturday, Oct. 24 at 8 p.m. at the Perth Legion. Tickets are just $20 each or $35 for two, and are available at Shadowfax (613-267-6817) and Tickets Please (613-485-6434) in Perth.

For more information, please call 613-326-0218.

The Third annual Sole Sisters run for Cancer Research gathered many individuals at Lower Reach Park Oct. 18 for a brisk morning walk for a great cause. Totals weren’t available by deadline this week, but organizers thank participants for another year of support.

Camino de Santiago pilgrimage provides great musical inspiration Thanks to Facebook over the past few years, I’ve been able to enjoy countless pictures from various friends’ adventures along the historic Camino de Santiago Trail or others similar, and, as a result, I’ve learned more about these trails of pilgrimage through France and Spain. My friends all walked for their own reasons, be it religious, historical, self-challenging, but all finished with satisfaction, gratefulness, a more humble view of life plus vast quantities of pictures and stories of what they saw, who they met and their own personal evaluation for having walked for several weeks outside, through a great variety of scenic beauty and climates in foreign lands, away from their normal hustle and bustle. Many call these adventures as a life changing experience.

Any time I see a Camino picture I’m reminded of the music that transpired from such a journey and the incredible photos taken by those who traveled with the musician.

On May 3, 2004 one of Canada’s most eclectic fiddler/composers, 6 foot 5-inch Oliver Schroer, his wife, Elena, photographer/historian/lecturer Peter Coffman and his partner Diane Laundy set out to walk the ancient pilgrim Camino trail starting in Entrayques sure Truyere, trudging right across southern France and Northern Spain, ending up in a town called Santiago de Compostela, where legend holds the remains of the apostle St James are buried. Oliver had brought his 5-string fiddle and portable recording gear to attempt capturing the sounds of his music within the various ancient churches they came across on their 1,000 km trek that took seven weeks to complete. When he found a church or cathedral that was acoustically enticing, Oliver played and recorded in these spectacular sonic spaces – 25 different churches in two months of walking. Toronto critic Robert Everett-Green described his style as a “fusion of Ontario fiddling traditions with the kind of architectural, string-crossing music of Bach’s solo violin works.”

The resulting recordings ended up as Oliver’s CD, Camino, which originally came out in 2005, (since re-released in 2008 by Borealis Records). The album features solo playing, occasionally

against a background of local sounds such as church bells, birds, and monastic voices. I love it’s haunting sounds and used to play it late at night at my camp, the sometimes eerie sounds somehow blending with the crackling campfire and other local critter sounds to provide quite an enjoyable experience. Sadly, Oliver was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2007 and passed away on July 3, 2008.

I share all this to make you aware of this wonderful body of music Camino and its composer, but also to help entice you to attend a wonderful event being held Saturday, Nov. 7 (3 to 10 p.m.) at the unique Wintergreen Studios, set in the woods of South Frontenac. It will feature the incredible award-winning photography and many stories of Peter Coffman who shared Oliver’s journey, the music, as well as a Spanish-themed meal. Go to: http://www.wintergreenstudios.com/creative-camino/ or call Alfred Von Mirbach at 613-200 2005 for more details.

Anyone with hiking Camino on their bucket list would find this a great place to get more information on the trek from those with direct experience. Those readers who are Camino veterans are welcome to come and share their stories of this indescribable journey. You can even stay over for an added cost so the stories can go later.

Elsewhere, it looks like an enjoyable fundraiser for breast cancer research being held on Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Perth legion from 8 p.m. to midnight featuring Lanark’s own “Queen of Easy Listening” Theresa Scott and also a new local band called The Shambles, who cook up a rock and roll stew with a touch of soul.

There’s also a silent auction, door prizes and lots more, all for a great cause. Tickets are $20 single and $35 for a couple and are available, in advance, at Shadowfax or Tickets Please, both on Foster St. Perth.

While on a recent road trip with Ed Ashton and Johnny Richard to Carleton Place’s Waterfront Gastropub for their Wednesday Open Jam, I ran into Lanark blues icon, Barry Buse, who updated me on some health issues he’s been having. The curmudgeon he is though, reassured me he’s on the mend and, you

know, he sounded damn good backing his brother Bill. All the best, Barry. We need you around!

Upcoming events Friday, Oct. 23: Sweet Alibi house concert at 7:30 p.m. They were delightful at Stewart Park Festival and now are playing in downtown Port Elmsley – the ex-church now called The Artmaker’s Studio. Call Garry for reservations

at 613-284-7604. Tickets are $20.

• Friday, Oct. 23: Amelia Curran, a wonderful Newfoundland songstress described by National Post as “a bit like Leonard Cohen being channeled in a dusty saloon by Patsy Cline,” will be at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn. Dinner and show is $60. Call Sandra at 613-279-2198 for reservations.

• Friday, Oct. 23: Blues & Company at O’Reilly’s Ale House in Perth. No cover and lots of blues.

• Saturday, Oct. 24: Theresa Scott and also The Shambles (see above for information).

• Sunday, Oct. 25: Slocan Ramblers at Maberly Hall at 7 p.m. These young bluegrass players are creating quite a stir. Advance tickets are $22 at Tickets Please (613-485-6434) or in Jo’s

Clothes – 39 Foster St., Perth.

• Nov. 12 and 13: Sherman Downey and Matthew Byrne at Sharbot Lake Inn. Both have played at Stewart Park Festival and wowed the crowds…Looking forward to seeing them together.

Dinner and Show is $55. Call Sandra at 613-279-2198 for reservations.

• Nov. 28: Boxcar Boys at Sharbot Lake Inn. You have to hear this cosmic mix of jazz, folk, klezmer and country who have been making large waves in the music world. You throw a clarinet, tuba, fiddle, trombone, accordion and washboard together and, your feet are tapping and you reach for something to hang on to. Dinner and show is $55.

Call Sandra at 613-279-2198 for reservations.

LAWS launches toonie campaign for month of November

Thank you UPS The Ottawa and Carleton UPS employees, drivers and management along with some of their family members stopped by LAWS over the weekend to pitch in. October is UPS’ global volunteer month and this year as a group they decided to come and participate in the LAWS fall clean-up and what an amazing group of people! These wonderful volunteers painted inside the shelter (thanks to some paint donated by Smiths Falls Home Hardware); they trimmed back bushes in the back as well as along the front of the shelter; gave both the back and the front grass a final cut and then a full yard leaf clean up along with apple tree clean ups; and they even threw a pizza party at the shelter.

“Everyone had a lot of fun.

It was great!” said Claudette Wallace, operations supervisor and part of the amazing volunteers who came out to LAWS. It is because of such support in our community that LAWS continues to thrive.

Thank you so much.

The month of November is being devoted to our toonie campaign. Yes, save your toonies and encourage others to do so. Can you imagine if all animal lovers in the Lanark and its surrounding regions donated a toonie? We would be able to improve our shelter faster than Axle could wag his tail.

Your toonies will be applied toward our $50,000 goal for continued and on going shelter improvements. Be sure to tell others to do so also… why not take up a collection from friends, family, neighbours or co-workers?

Feel free to make donations ahead of time online, by cheque or stop in to see us at the shelter. You may also donate at the following financial institutions: CIBC in Smiths Falls, RBC in Carleton Place and CIBC in Perth. You can also drop off your toonies at our hockey fundraiser on Nov. 22 at the Carleton Place arena.

batches of kittens were born on the floor in the back seat while the car remained out of service.

Two years ago, Al arranged with JH Restorations in Windsor to perform a frame-off restoration of the convertible. Jesse Henke does work for RM Restorations in nearby Chatham and Al knew the work would be superb. The odometer at that time had turned over 100,000 and 70 miles, an interesting coincidence considering the car was a ’70.

The restoration took a full year and it’s just like new again. Al and Anne drive their car on Thursday evenings through the summer to the cruise nights at nearby Heritage Village.

A mutual friend, Jim Founk, arranged for me to meet Al and Anne at the Lakeside Bakery in Leamington near the end of August to put this story together. That is where we took some photos, including one of Al holding up a seat belt buckle with the name Hamill printed on it. No, the dealer did not put Al’s name there.

By another amazing coincidence, that’s the name of the company that manufactured the seat belts in their car.

Al and Anne Hamill of Harrow, Ontario, are the proud owners of a fully restored 1970 Olds Cutlass Supreme convertible. Al was studying for his PhD. in Weed Control at Michigan State University in Lansing while his wife Anne worked in the office at the university when they ordered a new 1970 Cutlass Supreme convertible from Starnaman Oldsmobile Inc., a GM dealer near where they lived at the time. It cost $3,561 US, one of 11,354 built that year.

It arrived six weeks later on Feb. 28, 1970 in gleaming Sherwood Green and had been built at the GM plant in Lansing. Among the options they did not request, but came anyway was the Dual Gate Shifter that permits the car to be driven as an automatic or stick shift.

Al’s dad had owned some Oldsmobiles and in fact Al took his driver’s test on his father’s Olds in 1961.

In 1971, Al and Anne moved to Harrow, Ontario, where they still live, and Al landed employment with Agriculture Canada. They drove their new convertible for over 10 years.

Then one day while Al was putting the top down, he forgot about a carton in the rear window shelf. That carton shattered the glass rear window into umpteen pieces and Al stopped driving the car. He put it up on blocks at home and there it remained for 33 years. Two

Are snow tires worth it for Snow Birds? Car Counsellor weighs in

BRIAN TURNER

ing without snow tires means having to be very flexible in your daily travel routines. If a storm sets in, will you be prepared to wait until the roads are clear and dry?

“Hi Brian, Over the past few years I have become quite concerned about the increasing number of vehicles without daytime driving lights. I drive into Brockville three times a week, in all weather, and have noted many vehicles, in the worst of conditions, with no headlights. On two occasions, an OPP 4x4 went by in driving snow with no lights.

You are likely aware that Leeds-Grenville has a very high percentage of seniors, perhaps with failing eyesight. So my questions: is the daytime driving light rule still in effect? Is it being enforced?

Are farm vehicles (pickups) exempt?

Let’s air this one before the first snowy day.

Thanks E” Great points and yes heading into winter with a complete working set of vehicle lamps is a risky affair indeed (no matter what your eyesight is). First, daytime running lamps are still required by law for vehicles manufactured for use in this country (specifically those built after Dec 1, 1989). But one major change that has taken effect is different carmakers

Save the scares for trick-or-treaters It won’t be long until zombies, goblins, and ghouls roam the streets in search of their fix of Halloween candy and treats. But before you start carving your jack-o’-lantern or pull the old witch costume out of storage, make sure you’re prepared to keep festivities fun and not frightfully real.

CSA Group, a leading public safety and product testing and certification organization, would like to remind everyone of the following decorating safety tips to help ensure a happy Halloween is had by all.

Go big and heavy-duty: Use heavy duty extension cords for high wattage decorations like fog machines and large light displays to avoid overheating and potential fires.

Only use it outdoors if it says ‘outdoors’: Ensure lights and electrical decorations are marked for ‘outdoor use.’

Cut the power: Before working with outdoor wiring, turn off the electricity to the supply outlet and unplug the connection.

Dispose of damaged goods: Carefully inspect each electrical decoration.

Cracked or frayed sockets, loose or bare wires, and loose connections may be a shock or fire hazard.

Take care with connectors: When hanging lights outdoors, keep electrical connectors above ground, out of water and away from metal eavestroughs.

Connect outdoor lighting into receptacles protected by weatherproof ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI), which can provide protection from electric shock by sensing ground leakage and cutting electrical power.

Choose fasteners not nails: Use insulated fasteners rather than metal nails or tacks to hold light strings in place to avoid damaging the wires and insulation.

Use flashlights, not candles: When decorating, avoid using candles. Instead, use flashlights or battery-operated candles to light pumpkins, displays and walkways.

Look for the mark: When purchasing light strings, animatronics, strobe and black lights, fog machines or extension cords, look for a certification mark from an accredited certification organization, such as CSA Group. A recognized certification mark provides assurance that products are tested and certified to the applicable standards for safety and performance.

that if every vehicle had them, drivers would soon become accustomed to their appearance and start to ignore them.

So in a way, variety may improve the effectiveness of these lights. Police vehicles have a central control panel that lets the driver override certain lamp functions.

All that being said, the last thing you should depend on to keep your vehicle noticed by other drivers on a snowy day is the daytime running light system. The overwhelming majority of these systems do not illuminate the rear and side marker lamps and being seen from behind or to the side when weather and road conditions are less than favourable, can mean the difference be-

tween an uneventful drive and a catastrophe. Hands down, if you want to be visible on the roads, turn on your head and tail lamps.

now use lamps other than the headlights for this mandate.

Due to styling and design demands many automakers have incorporated changes in their lamps and some models now use amber marker lamps instead of the headlamps. Other vehicles use LED lamps or illuminate the signal lamps, and some use a completely separate set of lights for daytime use.

Some might argue that all these different types of daytime running lamps have reduced their overall effect in making vehicles more noticeable. But keep in mind the reason that the US feds and state governments have put forward to justify their refusal to institute daytime lights is

“Hi Brian, I have a snow tire question. Every year I put on my four snows that I have on rims. This year my wife and I are driving to Florida from Jan. 29 to April 3 and I was wondering if I should put the snows on this year. If I do put the snows on, will they prematurely wear because of all the warmer non-snow driving? Or is it best to have the snows on for those few hundred kilometres of potential snowy roads?

Thanks Brian.

Allan” Thanks for the question. Your situation is pretty common among snowbirds and the answers vary depending on individual circumstances. First if you’re not heading south until the end of January that means you’ll be driving in two possibly very snowy months here (December and January) and doing so without snow tires is just asking for it. The majority of Canadians that use winter tires put them on in late October or early November. As you’ve no doubt made the Florida trek before, you know that you will also travel through some very heavy snow belts in the eastern US to get there (again not wise without snow tires).

If you’re only spending two months in the Sun Belt, consider how many kilometres you’ll be putting on the car. If it’s less than a few thousand, then the additional wear on snow tires (which should be negligible for that distance) will be greatly outweighed by the increased safety in driving on both Canadian and US winter roads. I’d recommend a low profile treaded ice/snow radial such as Michelin’s X-Ice 2 or 3 as they are the quietest and longest lasting snow tires on the market and don’t have much of a negative effect on fuel mileage.

Popular horror series returns, sure to leave audience with goosebumps MOVIE: Goosebumps STARRING: Jack Black, Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Ryan Lee, and Amy Ryan DIRECTOR: Rob Letterman RATING: PG There was a time when Goosebumps was huge. It was everywhere on bookshelves and on TV. I would have said those days were done. I may be wrong.

Like most horror movies Goosebumps starts off innocently enough. Zach (Dylan Minnette), and his mom Gale (Amy Ryan) have moved to a small town looking for a fresh start. Zach soon meets Hannah (Odeya Rush) the mysterious girl next door, and her overprotective father Mr. Shivers (Jack Black). It isn’t long before Hannah and Zach are sneaking out together.

Everything is fine until one night Zach hears screaming from Hannah’s home. With his new best friend Champ (Ryan Lee), Zach decides to investigate. It’s there they discover the manuscripts.

Each one is a locked R.L. Stine Goosebumps novel. Foolishly Zach unlocks one of the manuscripts, and comes face to face with the Abdominal Snowman.

My Take MARK HASKINS

Hannah, Zach and Champ barely manage to get Abominable back in the book, and then it’s only because Hannah’s dad shows up. It turns out that Hannah’s father is R.L. Stine, and all of the monsters he created are real. The only thing keeping them at bay are the locked pages of the manuscripts.

In a horror movie just when you think it’s safe is when evil strikes.

Slappy, the demonic ventriloquist dummy, gets free, and releases all the other monsters. Slappy wants revenge for being locked away all this time. It’s up to Zack, Hannah, Champ and Stine to find a way to imprison all the monsters before they destroy the town.

Goosebumps pulls out all the horror movie tricks. The tight camera angles, misdirection, twists, things jumping out at you – you name it they use, and they

use it well. It’s a very scary film, but the film also has another side.

Goosebumps is insanely funny.

With just the right mix of fright and funny you’re jumping out of your seat as much as you’re laughing.

I was never a Goosebumps fan, but I have to say within the first five minutes I was hooked. I love how they establish the relationship between Zach and his mom.

It is very honest and real, and I liked both characters instantly.

The same is true for all the characters. Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Ryan Lee, and Amy Ryan all give that kind of quality performance. You can’t help but like them, and it’s a huge reason why this is such a good film.

While I may not be a Goosebumps fan I’m a huge Jack Black fan. He does not disappoint. He is funny, he is scary, he is over-thetop, he is heroic, he is brilliant.

This fictional version of R.L. Stine may be one of Black’s best characters.

It’s not something I thought I’d ever say, but Goosebumps is back.

Local man helps give wheelchaired racer a lift in obstacle race Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Area resident Matt Volk embodied the incredible hulk’s strength in every way when he joined a team of 10 who took a wheelchair bound man through a 7.5 km obstacle race known as the XMan Race.

The Quebec event took place this past September and was a first time experience for Volk who put on an Incredible Hulk costume and worked with a team of like dressed participants to push Samuel Camirand up ski mountains and over 14-foot walls to the finish line. He saw Camirand finish his very first obstacle race this past June and was blown away by the support from the crowd and the look of accomplishment on every team member’s face.

“When I saw them cross the finish line it was amazing,” Volk recalls He knew he wanted to be a part of that and take on this new physical challenge in extreme sport. Volk knows first-hand the sudden and devastating blow a lack of mobility can present a person. He suffered a serious car accident some years ago and was told he may never walk again. Going from relying on a cane for stability to today where he is a seasoned obstacle course racer with three years worth of medals under his belt, Volk has felt the pure joy that comes with finishing the course and the importance of celebrating everyone’s abilities.

“We’re very, very lucky,” Volk said of his approach to this race. “It’s giving somebody else the opportunity to at least try it out.”

Camirand lives with Friedreich’s Ataxia, which is a rare condition that

causes nervous system damage and mobility problems. In Camirand’s case, he is unable to walk, but can feel his legs, which makes maneuvering him through each obstacle very challenging. When asked by the Record News what it takes to trust a group of people so much that you would let them lift you in a harness up a 14-foot wall, Camirand wrote in a translated (he is French speaking) email interview that the experience on course is really no different than his day-to-day life.

“When one is in a wheelchair, we have no choice but to trust the people who surround us.”

The multiple obstacle course challenged the team at every turn. Volk said the approach to this race was unlike anything he had ever experienced. On his own, he is able to trust in his strength and immediately attack any obstacle he approaches, but with Camirand the team had to stand back and consider each and every obstacle. Not only did they want to make sure that their friend was okay, but every member had to secure themselves to the obstacle before aiding Camirand over it. On one wall, Volk said they tried three different ways of getting over, but in the end he and another team mate had to scale the wall and grip it with their legs before reaching down to help lift Camirand to their level.

Despite this challenge, the Samwheels team conquered nearly every obstacle in five hours and 15 minutes, and each time Camirand had the largest smile on his face.

“That was the best part,” Volk said.

The feeling of achievement was something Camirand enjoyed sharing with his teammates. One of his high-

lights and biggest achievements of the race was the fourth successful pipe the team climbed together.

“When I got to the other side of the wall [and saw] so much pride in the eyes of all my team – Wow! It was beautiful to see,” Camirand wrote.

The Montreal area resident thanks every member of his team who helped him experience what it means to be an XMan in the race and in life.

“It is they who have allowed me to see that it is possible for people in wheelchairs,” Camirand wrote.

His success on the obstacle course has demonstrated his abilities in life to himself, his friends and his family.

“People look at me like a limitless person; a person who is not limited to the constraints of the wheelchair,” Camirand wrote.

Volk was honoured to be considered a member of the Samwheels team The September race earned the Smiths Falls area man his 50th medal this season, which was his 2015 season goal.

“It couldn’t happen any better,” Volk added. “At the beginning of the year I didn’t think I would get it.”

This personal achievement came from completing each course twice and trusting in what his body can do. Volk isn’t sure what next season’s goal will be as he will be turning 40 in 2016 and will be the youngest in his age group and so has a strong chance at a podium finish. One thing Volk knows for sure, he will be back in Montreal this February with Camirand for the Polar Bear race.

“This is just the beginning,” Camirand wrote: I “thank them immensely for making me live this memorable race; a race I will remember all my life.”

This item will have no budgetary impact. This adjustment will provide staff with solid data for next summer when they plan to conduct a timing study along Beckwith Street to see if further improvements can be made to traffic flow.

Left turn restrictions Another action item is to restrict left turns from Abbott Street onto Lombard Street. Staff initially recommended this restriction be put in place between 3-6 p.m. to help residents travel home, but mayor Shawn Pankow suggested extending it to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. so that businesses would see the benefit.

“In my experience it’s all day long,” he said of the congestion.

The mayor acknowledged this move will likely mean traffic will be forced down Alfred Street when

“Any money goes directly to youth in the community and helping to support them,” Purcell said.

Since 2010, Cornerstone Landing works with youth aged 16-24 who are at risk or actively living in homelessness within Lanark County. The organization offers a uniquely rural model to addressing

youth homelessness, which continues to be an unseen issue. Purcell said as of this August, they have received 63 referrals for service for youths in Perth, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls region. The organization helps youth who wish to stay in school by providing up to $200 in rental support and $200 in gift cards to cover groceries and other

needs.

drivers are required to find another route to Brockville Street. The estimated cost is $300 for signage.

Coun. Dawn Quinn noted the log jam isn’t just with those turning left, but also with traffic moving straight through toward Alfred Street.

“You’d have to have a sign that restricts both” to make a real difference, Quinn said.

Quinn sees the real solution as constructing a right turn only lane from Abbott Street onto Lombard Street.

“That’s something we should look into,” Quinn said.

Staff estimates this project will cost $350,000 to complete not including the purchase of land since the existing road allowance couldn’t accommodate the extra turning lane.

Land constraints is an issue no matter what the final solution is for this intersection. Councillors sup-

ported the town investing $40,000 for a professional to re-design the intersection and provide council with a number of possible options for a permanent solution.

Coun. Chris Cummings and Lorraine Allen asked staff to include investigation into the pros and cons of a roundabout at the intersection.

“To me, that seems like the most logical” solution, Cummings said.

Allen agreed, calling the traffic calming measure efficient from what she has seen in other communities.

“They really do control traffic flow,” she said.

Bernicky noted potential challenges being the swing bridge on Abbott Street that stops traffic in that direction, as well as the need for adequate turning space for vehicles of all sizes, including big trucks who use the route as a bypass for the town.

Coun. John Maloney drove transport trucks in a previous career and had one comment on the idea of a roundabout: “You need a really big circle that’s all I’ve got to say.”

The final action item supported by committee will look at the placement of signage that warns drivers when the Abbott Street bridge is swinging.

Town looks to improve safety at school crosswalks Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

The Town of Smiths Falls is looking into how they can address safety issues at school crosswalks after complaints involving walkers and motorists were received and discussed at the committee level.

“I think it’s part of our jobs as politicians to keep our children safe,” said Coun. Lorraine Allen who introduced the topic at the Oct. 13 committee of the whole session.

The discussion centred around the Ross and Brockville Streets crosswalk in town after reports were received of pedestrians crossing away from the painted walkway, and of various incidents of motorists not stopping or coming to a complete stop for the crossing guard and local children.

“This one from all of them is the most dangerous one,” said Eileen Kelly, crossing guard at the Ross and Brockville Street intersection.

The local crossing guard started working full-time at this crossing this fall, but has spent time at each of the five crosswalk areas in Smiths Falls (Brockville Street at Oak Street, Elmsley Street at Russell Street, Queen Street at Anderson Street and Chambers Street at McGill Street), and knows firsthand the dangers drivers who text or who speed past crosswalks can cause.

“People see you standing there with six kids and they just keep coming,” Kelly said.

If that’s not enough, some who do slow

Eileen Kelly, crossing guard at Ross and Brockville Streets in Smiths Falls is pleased the town is looking at safety for students. down don’t come to a complete stop making it very dangerous for the crossing guard to gauge whether or not to start taking the kids across.

Cst. Dave Murphy of the Smiths Falls Police Service reminds motorists that it is against the law not to come to a full and complete stop at crosswalks.

In a press release received last week, the local

OPP investigate suspicious fire Officers of the Rideau Lakes Detachment of the O.P.P are continuing an investigation to determine the source of a residential fire on Highway 15 in Portland, Ontario.

On Oct. 18, 2015 at about 7 p.m. O.P.P. officers located a residence fully engulfed in flames on Highway 15. Rideau Lakes Fire Department attended and extinguished the fire.

It was determined that there were no occupants within the residence.

Rideau Lakes officers remained at the scene while the Ontario Fire Marshall’s Office conducted their investigation.

As a result of an ongoing investigation, a 23 yearold man, of no fixed address, has been charged with Breach of Probation, Uttering Threats, and Failing to Comply with a Prohibition Order, contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. He was scheduled to appear for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice, Provincial Division – Brockville on Oct. 20, 2015.

Members of the Leeds County Crime Unit are continuing the investigation.

Anyone with information about this fire is asked to contact the OPP at 613-345-1790 or Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

officer pointed to Section 176(3) HTA, which reads: “Where a school crossing guard displays a school crossing stop sign as provided in subsection (2), the driver of any vehicle or street car approaching the school crossing guard shall stop before reaching the crossing and shall remain stopped until all persons, including the school crossing guard, have cleared the roadway. Failure to do so could result in a fine of $150-$500.”

Kelly would love to see some improvements on the roadways be it lines running the length of the crosswalk to bring greater attention to the safe crossing area, repainting the white ‘X’ on the approach or providing lighted stop signs for guards to hold.

Coun. Jay Brennan supported the immediate actions such as repainting by town staff and purchasing lighted stop signs, saying the move will bring the town closer to their ultimate goal of encouraging visitors and residents to park their cars and enjoy the town on foot.

“We’re a pedestrian friendly community, so let’s make it more pedestrian friendly,” Brennan said.

Town staff confirmed they are attempting to source a Canadian company who can provide them with a lighted stop sign. So far, they have found an American company who sells them for about $170 a sign.

Staff will bring a report forward listing the costs associated with all options available. It was noted at the Oct. 13 committee meeting that the cost to implement a controlled crosswalk is roughly estimated at $100,000, while painting stripes on the road could come in at anything

between $100-$2,100 to complete.

“I think that’s a good use of our money,” Allen said of the repainting.

Coun. Dawn Quinn felt the town could achieve the same objective at a lesser price if they looked into a solar crosswalk option. The veteran councillor has previously provided information on solar cross walks to the local police department and urged her peers around the table to encourage greater research on this topic.

“If they can do anything it will help,” Kelly said.

All but one of the crosswalks (the one at Elmsley and Russell Streets) are considered uncontrolled crossings. At Elmsley and Russell they have a reduced school zone and flashing yellow lights during the period of time crossing guards are usher students across the busy road.

Kelly thinks a similar setup on Brockville Street would be suitable given the amount of traffic, and Coun. Chris Cummings tends to agree.

As a Brockville Street resident, Cummings seen the traffic speeding on the road, particularly if the lights at the mall are green making it possible for traffic coming off the Brockville highway to keep going. CAO Malcolm Morris cautioned councillors to keep in mind the limits of the law, saying pedestrians are not given the right of way in uncontrolled crosswalks.

Witness testifies accused spoke of getting ‘fired’ As day three closed in the Gerry Huddleston trial, the Crown presented its final three witnesses in an attempt to prove the 58-year-old forged a deposit record and stole $4,000 in funds from the Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor (AGH-FVM) Foundation.

Crown attorney Robert Corbella first called Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation manager of fundraising, Robyn Arseneau, who had worked closely with former AGHFVM Foundation executive director Huddleston on a joint women’s golf tournament for their respective hospital foundations in 2014. Both employed in the charity field, Arseneau said she first met Huddleston shortly after she started with the CPDMH Foundation in July 2012.

“We’d go to lunch, share ideas and went to a conference together.

Over time we got to know each other,” she said, noting she considered him a “friend.”

It was in July 2014 she met with Huddleston and their counterpart at the Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital Foundation, Wendy Knechtel, manager of communication and fund development, for lunch in Almonte.

“We do that once or twice a year to sit around the table and brainstorm,” Arseneau stated.

However, it was the topic of discussion that alarmed Arseneau.

“When you get together with different people from different places, you talk about the challenges in your board and place of business…

Gerry shared that he was looking forward to retirement,” she explained. “…He more or less brought forward he wasn’t wanting to wait and the only way to do so was to get fired,” Arseneau continued. “If he got fired, he would be able to have a cash payout from his work contract.”

She said Huddleston told her and Knechtel he had spoken with a lawyer to see if a “cash payout for severance was feasible.”

“He never mentioned anything about stealing money at all,” she added. “But (implied) he would misspend funds and do things to put his board in a position where

they would be unhappy and therefore let him go.”

Corbella asked if this conversation was taking place in public and whether she believed Huddleston to be serious.

“Yes, at lunch at the Mill Street Creperie…I was surprised he shared that information in a public venue. I assume he was comfortable in that regard,” Arseneau answered. “My impression is that he was serious. Knowing Gerry for two years prior and that he sought the advice of a lawyer, he seemed serious enough.”

In cross-examination, Huddleston’s lawyer Craig Rogers questioned whether Arseneau saw the former AGH-FVM executive director as a “mentor.”

“To be honest, no,” she said.

“I never saw him as a mentor…a friend, a partner, yes, but I always thought we were on the same level.”

Rogers questioned if Arseneau knew what Huddleston’s income was. It was confirmed earlier in court proceedings that he made $104,500 at the time of his dismissal from the hospital foundation.

“He shared his income, many times,” she answered.

“Was it a source of resentment?”

Rogers asked.

“I don’t do the job for the money.

I do it because it’s what I believe in, helping people…”Arseneau confirmed.

He asked her to clarify why procedures changed in the handling of monies for the joint women’s golf tournament fundraiser (held Aug. 27, 2014) in July and if it was due to the lunch conversation with Huddleston and Knechtel.

“In January 2014 (when planning started), it was Chris Must (former AGH-FVM Foundation development co-ordinator), Gerry and myself. Once Chris left (in June 2014) Carolyn took his place,” Arseneau stated. “There were some changes. Almonte was handling the funds, but when Chris left, Carleton Place handled all of the incoming funds for that fundraiser.” “…We definitely made some changes to how that (fundraiser) proceeded, but it was due to a number of factors, not just that conversation (at lunch), but Carolyn had just started…we took the funds and I felt more comfortable,” Arseneau

continued.

Rogers questioned Arseneau to confirm she encouraged Huddleston to hire Carolyn Piche as AGHFVM development co-ordinator in July 2014. Arseneau said Piche had worked at the CPDMH Foundation under three contracts from October 2013 to March 2014.

“Yes. She’s very efficient in what she does. She was professional,” Arseneau said. “I gave her a reference, but I know there is a hiring process and many people apply, so I tried to stay out of that.”

Also testifying for the Crown was Al Lunney, former AGH-FVM Foundation board president from 2012 to June 2015, who called his relationship with Huddleston as “great.” He confirmed he authorized a vacation payout for Huddleston in the summer of 2014, for five weeks of holidays. Explaining the reasoning, Lunney said “the discussion was two-fold. He (Huddleston) didn’t have the time to take any holidays and the second part was the money would be useful to him to pay off some debts.”

Lunney also provided insight into a conversation he had with Huddleston back in 2014 surrounding what would happen if he were to quit or be fired. He said it took place before the $4,000 was determined missing.

“I said there was no way of ever determining what the payout would be, it would have to be about the conditions upon which he left,” he explained.

In cross-examination, Rogers asked Lunney to confirm Huddleston approached him for a job performance evaluation in January 2014. Lunney said the process had started, but was never completed.

“The evaluation took a fair amount of time because it had to go to the executive and then back to the board and Gerry wouldn’t agree with what his job description was… he finally agreed but that’s the last thing that was done with his performance appraisal,” he stated.

Lunney testified “Gerry felt he should have been paid more. He wanted it (salary) tied to the hospital salary schedule and I explained to him that wasn’t going to happen.”

whom Piche received raffle funds Sept. 12, 2014, took the court through that specific day. She explained Piche came to pick up “around $2,000” in funds, which was counted in the cash office.

Piche kept track of the funds on a slip of paper, however Risatti didn’t receive a receipt.

When cross-examining her, Rogers asked if she thought it was odd. “I’m not really sure. She might have forgot her receipt book. I don’t know,” Risatti said.

Recalled by the Crown, Piche said she couldn’t remember if she had issued a receipt to Risatti or how much money she had picked up. The slip of paper upon which she tallied funds was introduced as an exhibit, which Piche recognized as her handwriting.

“I honestly do not recall. It would have made sense that I would have (issued a receipt), but to tell you definitively that I did, I cannot. I just don’t remember,” she answered.

Defence begins case Shortly before the lunch break, the Crown finished presenting its case and the remainder of the third day was devoted to the defence, with Huddleston taking the stand.

Rogers centred around Huddleston’s time in Smiths Falls and the practices he put in place when dealing with funds.

“In 11 years, with the Your Health……Our Promise campaign (for redevelopment in Smiths Falls), I was part of a team that raised over $9 million,” Huddleston said.

He left there in 2006 when he took his position with the AGHFVM Foundation.

During Huddleston’s testimony, Corbella interjected “the Crown does not take issue with the fact that Mr. Huddleston has been an extremely good fundraiser…but I am struggling on why we are talking about things that happened in 1993 and 1995.”

“The issue isn’t fundraising, the issue is perhaps, practices,” added Justice of Peace Peter Wright, who is presiding over the case. “Perhaps you might want to think that over.

Perhaps a more focused examination would be helpful,” he suggested to Rogers.

The trial resumes Oct. 21 and 22 in Perth.

The Russ Beach Airport Story shared at Oct. 22 meeting The Smiths Falls & District Historical Society committee invites the public to join them for another engaging speaker series. The society offers the community a unique opportunity to discuss our local heritage and this fall is no exception. The next installment of this entertaining community series is The Russ Beach Airport Story on Thursday, Oct. 22.

That evening, the society will welcome airport manager, Peter Campbell as he traces the history of the Russ Beach Smiths Falls-Mont ague Airport and the people who made the Flying Club what it is today. The airport be-

came an important social and economic location for the community. This is a special video presentation, showing the airport’s humble beginnings as a farmer’s field to one of the finest small airports in Canada. There will also be a question and answer period for guests to take advantage of.

Next meeting On Nov. 26 local writer, Claudia Smith will take us on a journey through the heritage barns of Lanark County.

Smith’s writings on this area’s history have captivated audiences for years and are always sure to offer a unique

and thoughtful perspective on our past. Barns – A Reflection of Changing Times – “You couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.” Many styles and varied arrangements of barns evolved in the 19th and 20th centuries, from the first log shanty barns of settlement survival, to the threshing barns of a grain economy, to the big timber-frame structures of the dairy economy. Honour is paid to the master barn builders and their crews of carpenters who worked with skill and ingenuity to ensure the strength and efficiency of the big timber-frame barns and the productivity, health and comfort of the animals.

Each of these presentations will take place at the Heritage House Museum on 11 Old Sly’s Road, Smiths Falls. The door will open at 6:30 p.m. and presentations start at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 per person or free for members of the historical society and Heritage House Museum. Please RSVP if you are planning to attend any of these presentations, by calling 613-283-6311 or email heritagehouse@smithsfalls.ca. All are welcome!

The historical society is also looking forward to partnering with the Heritage House Museum on Sunday, Nov. 1 for the fascinating story of Lost Beneath

the Ice: The Search for Franklin’s Lost Ships and the Discovery of the HMS Erebus. Jonathan Moore, Senior Underwater Archaeologist of Park’s Canada’s Underwater Archaeology Team will share the inside story on this exciting discovery and the importance of finding this lost piece of Canadian history.

Tickets are $10 per person and are recommended to be purchased in advance as this event is expected to sell out quickly. For more details or for tickets, please contact the museum at 613283-6311.

Once the Landing Crafts came close enough, their ramps dropped down and the soldiers jumped out into the water. As it opened, soldiers began to fall immediately. There is some discrepancy on how many soldiers died on D-Day at Juno Beach. Some sources say 340 soldiers died on Juno Beach. Others say 359 died.

After Alexander Beggs’ death, his medals were entitled to his brother, Joseph Beggs. He was given Alexander’s 1939 to 45 Star (awarded after soldier has given six months of duty), France-Germany Star (awarded if a soldier had given service in D-Day or the few days following), Defence Medal (awarded between Sept. 3, 1939, to May 8, 1945 for six months of service in Great Britain), War Medal (awarded if a soldier worked fulltime for 28 days in the armed forces and merchant marines from 1939 to 1945), and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with clasp (awarded to any soldier who volunteered in the Second World War for 18 months).

Private Alexander McKenzie Beggs was a 34-year-old soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting overseas during the Second World War. He was born on July 20, 1909 in Glasgow, Scotland to his mother Mary Beggs (died in October 1925) and his father William Beggs (died in June 1931). Alexander had two brothers named Bill Beggs (born in 1913) and Joseph Beggs (born in 1907), both lived in Scotland upon Alexander’s death. He also had a sister who died before Joseph was born. He was never married and had no children.

Alexander Beggs was a member of the United Church. He completed elementary school but left high school only two years in at the age of 14.

When his mother died, Alexander moved across the Atlantic Ocean to live in Canada before 1926. He lived in Port Elmsley, Ontario with Milton Best and Hattie Best, who regarded Alexander as a son. Alexander was employed at the Best farm for 14 years as a farmer before enlisting into the war on Dec. 3, 1940.

Alexander Beggs joined the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders upon his enlistment. He embarked from Halifax, Nova Scotia on July 21, 1941 and arrived in Avonmouth, England the following week.

When overseas, Alexander Beggs embarked from the United Kingdom on June 14, 1944 and arrived in Normandy, France on June 16, 1944, following the Normandy Invasion on June 6, 1944. This means that Alexander was fighting to help take the city of Caen, which is 20 kilometres inland from the Normandy beaches. The fighting to take the city was extremely difficult as the German army had dug in along the reverse slope of the Orne River making it very challenging to push them out of the city.

The city of Caen would eventually be bombed by the Allies to force the enemy to flee.

Alexander Beggs and his regiment were involved after D-Day occurred.

He was killed a month after arriving in France on July 8, 1944.

There are five different beaches in Normandy: Juno Beach, Gold Beach, Omaha Beach, Utah Beach and Sword Beach. The Canadian Forces were in charge of securing Juno Beach. On the same time and day, the United States army was in charge of securing Omaha and Utah Beach while the British army was in charge of securing Gold and Sword Beach.

On June 5, the wind drops, but the waves get rougher. Operation “Overlord” is announced that it will be taking place at H-Hour. All of the soldiers are briefed on their directions and orders. The loading crafts head towards France to a place called Juno Beach.

On June 6, 1944 at 7:45 a.m., the first wave of Canadian fighters leaves to Juno Beach. The waves pound

Normandy, France. Alexander Beggs’ grave reference is Grave XVI, Row G, and Plot 2.

No More Prime Rib and Mashed Potatoes?

R0043477900_1022

Soldier died a month after 1944 Invasion of Normandy

ADVERTISEMENT

Why is it that so many things are bad for you these days? We know that too much sugar, salt and calories are a bad combination for longevity. Now, the health publication, Nutrition Action, says red meat increases the risk of several major diseases. Horrendous news for me as roast beef and mashed potatoes are my favourite meal. So how risky is it to eat meat?

Dr. Walter Willett at Harvard’s School of Public Health is a top nu- Dr. Gifford-Jones tritional guru. He says that 9 percent of deaths in the Harvard study could have been saved if people ate less red meat daily. In effect, the consumption of red meat was related to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and cancer.

Willet says that the strongest evidence that red meat causes cancer is colon malignancy. And that the main culprits are processed red meats like bacon, sausage, hot dogs and lunch meats.

Moreover, eating meats during adolescence increases the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women. So far Willett doesn’t know why this happens. But he points to an interesting fact. When the atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima young breasts were more likely to develop cancer from the radiation while women over 40 years of age had virtually no risk of this disease.

But why is red meat so dangerous? Willett’s answer is that processed meats contain preservatives such as nitrites and nitrosamines and we know these are carcinogenic in animals.

In addition, red meat contains high levels of saturated fat.

So what is a meat lover to do? Willet says you should try to get protein from other sources such as poultry, fish, nuts, beans and low fat dairy products. And the healthiest dairy food is yogurt because of its effect on microbes in the intestine.

I found Willett’s remarks on the environment of particular interest. He points out that cattle emit large amounts of methane gas, and according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, methane’s impact on climate is 20 times greater than carbon dioxide’s! In addition, cattle produce five times more greenhouse gas than chickens, pigs and hens.

We also know that cattle require nutrition and it takes huge amounts of energy to produce fertilizer to grow corn, soy beans and other crops to feed them. There’s also another problem.

Excess fertilizer can end up in lakes and rivers leading to low oxygen dead zones. Tons of manure can also pollute our waterways. Finally, antibiotics used in animals are not good for any of us as they lead to resistant bacteria.

But Willett also reminds us that risk comes in a number of different packages. For instance, he emphasizes that other habits such as smoking, inadequate exercise, trans fats and a lack of fruit and vegetables can increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. He also stresses that people who consume more white bread, rice, potatoes, sweets and cola drinks have the same risk of heart attack as those who eat red meat. And that obesity is another huge risk factor.

It appears this dietary message is getting through to North Americans. Since 1975 Canadians are consuming half the amount of meat and double the amount of poultry. In the U.S. the Federal Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has urged people to eat less red and processed meat and to make sure it’s lean. This must make ranchers and meat processors reach for Prozac!

So what will I do? Hell will freeze over before I turn down prime rib and mashed potatoes when I see them listed on the menu. But I admit that in our home we now eat more fish, poultry, fresh fruit and vegetables.

It all gets back to moderation, realizing that it’s highly unlikely that only an occasional meal of steak is going to shorten one’s life.

Letter to the Editor

Reader takes town to task on many items DEAR EDITOR: I am a Smiths Falls resident and have some thoughts on the ambulance bay service in town. Number one, having the ambulance service in Smiths Falls has been a topic of discussion for some time, and Smiths Falls felt it would be too costly now, but now that there is an incentive their minds have changed.

Where they are thinking of putting it is reasonable and well within our call district. I feel we will receive the same

exceptional service. Number two, windows at the town hall have been painted at a cost of $24,000 and now we are going to replace them at a cost of $35,000 – why didn’t we save the $24,000?

Number three, why do we need to update the council lounge at the cost of approximately $75,000 at a time when money could be used elsewhere. Number four deals with town police versus the OPP. I have always been proud of our police department, but they need to

be more accountable for their money.

Yes, we need cutbacks, but in an article in the Brockville paper, the OPP have increased their costs by 22 per cent for one municipality, 17 per cent and 24 per cent for others. I think they have done this many times over.

Number five, why was a town staff member cutting the grass at Roclyn House? Is this a new service?

The Oct. 19 federal election has come and gone and with it a strong Liberal majority led by Justin Trudeau will soon take the reins of Canada.

There’s a lot to look forward to when it comes to the Liberal’s promise to restore the long form census. This will provide researchers and communities the tools they need to plan and see issues develop before they become critical.

Another action item I am going to pay close attention to is the Liberal’s promise to reform the electoral system. On the party’s platform Trudeau boldly states: “We are committed to ensuring that 2015 will be the last federal election conducted under the first-past-the-post voting system.”

They have given themselves 18 months to convene an all-party Parliament committee to review all options and come back with drafted legislation.

MP Scott Reid, who was given another mandate by his riding in Lanark, Frontenac, Kingston this week, has already weighed in on what he would like to see tabled at the legislature - a system modeled after Australia’s existing rank ballot system. He contends this system will keep local representation and is expected to take power away from party bosses.

Anything would be better than our first past the post system. Interestingly, though Britain continues this system federally, their provincial counterparts in places like Wales and Scotland have opted for proportional representation.

I have the benefit of having a political news junkie as a husband (shout out to Desmond) and I still don’t understand the first past the post system! It hasn’t been for a lack of trying on Desmond’s part.

In fact, a few months ago he went over and over the details until my head started to hurt and I had to tell him to stop. The concept didn’t just past the post for me, it went clear over the top and out of sight!

I’m really hopeful that a new electoral system, in whatever form it takes, will encourage more Canadians to vote.

I have never missed an opportunity to vote myself, even though at times I have wondered what the value my vote had in a system I can’t understand well enough to see where my vote fits in.

As odd as it is, I think I’m already excited for election 2019. This will be one of the most exciting elections for me to watch. I hope the new system will empower more Canadians to put their vote to work. Who knows, maybe we will see something completely unexpected.

That being said, I have to say I didn’t expect a majority Liberal government taking the reins of Canada after this week.

Traditionally, the battle is often between the blue and red options in Canada, but I have had some real concerns about the Liberal platform with my biggest worry being the amount of planned spending the soon-to-be sitting government plans

STACEY ROY For the Record to undertake on our behalf.

Trudeau has campaigned promising Canadians to do what the other parties can’t or won’t do and that they will do it now. That’s great, Justin but where are the dollars coming from?

I’m no financial advisor, but the thought of further debt being racked up in such precarious economic times the world over makes me sick to my stomach. Literally, I had chest pain Monday night when Trudeau and Stephen Harper made their speeches.

I admire Trudeau’s confidence in his country and his belief that investment will bring the kind of jobs and economic growth Canada has been searching for for decades, I just wish I could share his confidence. I’m more like the young child who looks up at their parent with disbelief and, shrugging their shoulders says “whatever you say”.

I am now praying Trudeau’s mathematical wizards are correct because if they aren’t Canada will be adding an incredible amount to their $612 billion debt (according to www.debtclock.ca) and I’m not sure my household can accommodate that.

Here is my real grip about this, and it’s something we’ve seen in Canadian politics so often I feel like it’s groundhogs day.

The majority elects a Liberal government and everyone is excited for the impending investment. The Liberals are transparent about their plans (as they have been this time around) and say their investment will cost, but that the long-term benefit will pay down that cost over time.

Fast forward four years when the debt is incurred and the Canadian public is panicked by the numbers. The Conservative platform is all about saving our economy and the country from financial ruin and the country slips back to a Conservative party. That will leave us with a bigger debt and no plan to deal with it. Bring on the Conservative cuts and removal of all the gains we were so happy to receive four years before.

I will be nearly 40 when the next election comes around, and honestly, I’m already tired thinking about the belt tightening that will happen if this pancake flip happens as past year’s have foretold.

Justin, please prove me wrong and show me and the rest of Canadians that this spending spree we’re about to embark on will result in the well paying jobs and economic growth you anticipate. My retirement and the stability of my household depend on it.

“Even at the junior level we had some amazing political discussions in our classroom,” Dalgleish said.

The student vote exercise is aimed at encouraging local youth to be engaged in current events, while reminding them they have the power to create real change in their world. Dalgleish said with that power comes responsibility, noting the right to vote is also a responsibility for every Canadian.

Justin Trudeau’s Liberals will be taking their seat in government after this year’s Oct. 19 election, but that’s not how Smiths Falls students saw the parties, supporting an NDP majority or minority government with the Conservatives.

Students across the Smiths Falls family of schools took part in a student vote in the days leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election. This newspaper caught up with students at St. Francis de Sales and Montague Public School where students were united in the empowerment they felt from marking their ‘x’ on the ballot.

“It was amazing,” added Jade Parks, a Grade 6 student at Montague Public School who voted at school Oct. 15. “I felt like I was older. I felt like I was being able to be in the political world. It was inviting.”

Both schools challenged their students to research the four party platforms prior to hosting their student vote. Grades 7 and 8 Montague students prepared skits based on the platforms and performed them for the younger grades, while others created posters and slogans encouraging students to vote for their party.

“It helped to break down [the information] into meaningful chunks,” said Shelley Dalgleish, one of two coordinators of the student vote in Montague.

Grades 4-8 took part in the student vote in Montague, while students in Grades 6,7, and 8 at St. Francis were handed a ballot.

The polling results for each school are as follows: St. Francis de Sales • NDP and Conservatives – 48 votes each or 28 per cent.

• Liberal – 46 votes or 27 per cent.

• Green – 23 votes or 13.5 per cent • Libertarian – five votes of three per cent There was one spoiled ballot.

Lively music will raise the roof Saturday, Nov. 7 at Westminster Presbyterian Church, or at least help repair the chimney that sits atop it.

The upcoming fundraising concert begins at 7 p.m. and invites everyone to come out to assist the church in funding repair work on their stone chimney.

“It’s a very, very beautiful church,” adds Penny Condie, event organizer. “Our chimney needs fixing.”

The chimney is aged and has begun to bulge in some areas. Joel Stewart of Stewart Masonry has been working to replace the bricks in the chimney by hand since the first week in October to repair and re-point the asset. Klaas van der Meer, church custodian, said he expects the three-week project to wrap up by this week or early next week.

“We’re trying to bring it back to its original” state, van der Meer said.

Edge, a Perth-area band will take the stage Nov. 7 to help the church cover the cost of the work on their roof. The trio is made up of Jeff Earl, Graeme Crabb and Ann Savage, and has been entertaining audiences for a number of years with their diverse offering of country, folk, pop and gospel tunes.

“I think there’s something everyone will enjoy,” Condie added. “They’re very enthusiastic and very upbeat.”

It’s back to business as 585 Rideau Squadron resumes Charges laid On Wednesday, Sept. 30, with the 585 Rideau Squadron Royal Air Cadets (Smiths Falls) on parade and cadet parents in attendance, Captain Cordy carried out her first Commanding Officer’s Parade since summer break, handing out certificates and promotions to deserving cadets of all levels.

Cadets involved in summer training courses at the Air Cadet Training Centre, Trenton, received their training certificates from Capt. Cordy on parade, other cadets who had trained over the summer at other locations were already provided their certificates on completion of their training.

Capt. Cordy also had the privilege of promoting a significant number of squadron cadets. Criteria for promotion within the junior ranks of the air cadet program are experience, measured by consistent weekly attendance, proper dress and deportment as well as physical fitness, measured by the ability to complete and pass the military fitness test on an annual basis. Given that the 20152016 training session only began with the start of the new school year, some cadets are still awaiting new uniforms to keep pace with their respective growth since the summer break began last June, and hence a few of the cadets being promoted received their new ranks out of uniform.

Brown voted back to Parliament Hill Tim Ruhnke

truhnke@metroland.com

It was a fairly close race and a bittersweet outcome for the two candidates who topped the polls in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes on Monday.

Gord Brown will be returning to the House of Commons for a fifth term. With all 238 polls reporting early Tuesday morning, the Conservative candidate had a lead of more than 3,800 votes over Mary Jean McFall of the Liberals (26,734 for Brown, 22,888 for McFall). Margaret Andrade of the NDP had 4,722 votes, and Green party candidate had 2,090 votes.

Brown appeared at his campaign office in the Brockville Shopping Centre just before 11 p.m. on Monday. McFall, accompanied by Michael O’Shaughnessy, made a brief stop at Brown’s office about half an hour later to congratulate the MP-elect.

“I appreciate the confidence the people of the riding put in me,” Brown told the crowd.

In acknowledging it was a tough campaign and a hardfought battle, he thanked his team of supporters for their efforts. This was the toughest election they knew they would have, according to the Conservative candidate.

“We all know we have change in our country,” Brown said of the overall win by the Liberals.

“Unfortunately, voters across Canada have spoken.”

Brown said he is concerned that Canadians have lost the “steady leadership” of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, adding that he is “afraid of the damage” the new Liberal government under Justin Trudeau will do to the country.

“I will hold this government accountable,” proclaimed Brown,

who warned of massive deficits and higher taxes that might be in the nation’s future.

Brown ran as the Alliance party candidate in Leeds-Grenville (now known as Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes) in the 2000 federal election and lost to incumbent Liberal MP Joe Jordan by 55 votes.

Brown became the Conservative candidate when that party formed after the Progressive Conservative-Alliance merger. He defeated Jordan in 2004 and was re-elected in 2006 (with 54.7 per cent of the vote), 2008 (58.4 per cent) and 2011 (60.8 per cent).

Brown won the last election by a margin of almost 21,000 votes over NDP candidate Matthew Gabriel, but the outcome was much different this time.

Early results after the polls closed Monday night had Brown and McFall about even. As more polls reported, a slim margin held by Brown began to widen slightly. Eventually, the lead became more comfortable and consistent.

Yes, Mary Jean McFall’s supporters were disappointed as the excitement of being in the lead was short-lived and disappointment settled in on Monday night.

Notably, McFall made great strides in communities like North Grenville where the returns were not as one-sided as one may have thought.

McFall threw out a challenge to Brown, as the Member of Parliament for the region.

“I want to challenge Gord Brown on his victory and to bring real change to Leeds and Grenville,” said McFall. “We need hope for the future of our children and a secure retirement for our seniors. You have this opportunity Gord, and we want you to make the most of it.”

McFall thanked the individuals that were her election team, especially Michael O’Shaughnessy,

her campaign manager, her family and the many people that believed in her.

“We should give thanks,” McFall added. “We need to give thanks for real change that has occurred today in our great country. Canadians have spoken loud and clear; they want their country back and in the new Liberal government with Justin Trudeau they have got their country back.

Join me now in celebrating real change in Canada and taking an enormous pride in the work that we have done and contributing so mightily to a thriving democracy right here in Leeds Grenville,” McFall said.

Before leaving her many supporters at the Keystorm Pub in downtown Brockville to congratulate Brown for his successful election run, McFall shared that she has been so inspired by the stories she heard, and has a renewed commitment to find a way to serve and support the people of this riding.

One supporter, Duncan Fraser, was elated to know that the Liberals are back at the helm.

“The Liberals will be in power, and that is magnificent,” said Fraser. He also felt that McFall had led a well-run campaign and should not have any regrets.

NDP expectations Margaret Andrade was confident just before the local election results started rolling in on Monday night. She indicated at her campaign office north of Tincap that she would be “shocked” if either Brown or McFall came out on top.

When asked to identify one thing she had learned during the campaign, Andrade said there is “a huge, silent majority” in the Leeds-Grenville area that is lower middle-class or that is struggling. It has been great to see how motivated many of these people are, she added.

Barn dance sets firm foundation for hall bathroom renovation

WITH OFFERS LIKE THESE, IT’S NO WONDER THE COMPETITION IS UNAMUSED.

Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

This year’s barn dance at the Lombardy Agricultural Hall was beyond the hopes of organizers, and has allowed the non-profit organization to take one giant step towards upgrading their hall washroom to meet accessibility standards.

“When you see the barn full,” adds Melanie Chisholm, event organizer. “It was really fulfilling.”

In total, $18,500 was raised from the one-day event, which will make it possible for the nonprofit organization to apply for grants to complete the $98,000 washroom upgrade.

“We were so pleased. They were behind us all the way,” Chisholm said of the community.

The Oct. 3 dance brought in 340 patrons who filled every table in the barn for a night of good food and great music by the band Doubleback.

“They did a great job for us,” Chisholm said.

The funds will be put to use in leveraging funds from grant programs.

“To apply to grants you have to have some money in the bank to support the project,” Chisholm said.

Prior to the barn dance, the agricultural society had very little earmarked for the project. The upgrade itself will include a washroom expansion and a complete redesign of the space to allow for a wheelchair to turn. There will also be all new fixtures in the space.

“It will change it completely,” Chisholm explained.

Volunteers at the barn dance held Oct. 3 at the Lombardy Agricultural Society’s property on Hwy. 15 have reason to smile. The first-time event raised over $18,000 to support the renovation of the washroom in the hall.

Organizers fielded many positive comments from barn dance attendees who enjoyed the return of a rural fundraiser of this style, particularly with its focus on family inclusiveness.

dence of co-existence between (non-avian) dinosaurs and humans. Humans appear in the fossil record many millions of years later than the last known dinosaurs.”

Jordan agreed with Maddin, writing that: “There is no evidence that non-avian dinosaurs co-existed alongside humans (but birds do, obviously).”

Olsthoorn said that the Bible does not describe how God made the universe, but Jordan put forward a “mechanistic explanation,” for the creation of the earth, whereby the earth “came together through accretion of the solar nebula. In short, this is a process whereby debris left over from the creation of the solar system comes together through gravitational attraction.”

The Encyclopedia Britannica, also places the age of the earth as being much older than Olsthoorn’s assertion.

“It is widely accepted by both geologists and astronomers that earth is roughly 4.6 billion-yearsold,” the online edition says.

At the end of the presentation, one boy asked about the mythical Loch Ness monster in Scotland.

“Well, you’re thinking,” said Olsthoorn, not dismissing the possibility that it could be a wayward reptile from the dinosaur era.

Tom Bourne, the school’s principal, thanked his guest for the presentation, and told his students that “today, we got some light shone on us about science. I know I learned some things.”

flood that may have wiped out the dinosaurs.

“It was only four-and-a-half thousand years ago, the flood,” said Olsthoorn.

In answer to this reporter’s question about how science believes the dinosaurs died out, Jordan replied that “science doesn’t ‘believe’ anything. But it supports the sudden extinction of the nonavian dinosaurs via a catastrophic meteor impact. One lineage of dinosaurs [the birds] managed to survive this extinction and thrived afterwards.”

This great extinction, he added, likely occurred about 66 million years ago.

Some Christians believe that the earth was created in six days – and that God rested on the seventh.

On the fourth day, it is believed that the sun was created, along with the stars. But even here, Olsthoorn admits that there is a seeming contradiction. “Well, the sun came first, before the plants were created,” he said. “That’s what it tells us in the Bible.”

How could plant life exist without sunlight? To this, Olsthoorn answered: “Certainly, the plants can live one day without the sun.”

He contended that, on the sixth day, mankind was created – as were dinosaurs.

“These things died out a short time ago, not millions of years ago,” he said.

Maddin however dismissed this, writing that “there is no evi-

Even creationists believe that The Holy Bible is not a science book.

But it is there that creationists diverge from scientists.

“The bible isn’t a science book,” admitted Gus Olsthoorn, during a presentation entitled “What About Dinosaurs,” at Calvary Christian Academy, Franktown on Friday, Sept. 25. “You need to look at the Bible as a history book. It doesn’t tell us how the earth was made. It tells us how He (God) made the earth.”

Montreal-based Olsthoorn was making a presentation to the students at the school as part of a wider trip to the area, which included stops at the First Baptist Church in Perth, the Calvary Baptist Church in Smiths Falls, and the Lanark Baptist Church in Lanark village. Olsthoorn, a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer for 39 years, is a member of Creation Ministries International. Olsthoorn is certainly not a devotee of prevailing scientific thought.

“People may have seen dinosaurs in the not-too-distant past,” he added. “They may have seen what we called dragons.” He alluded to the scientific belief that the world was created millions of years ago, but, as a Christian, felt that “scientifically, that doesn’t work out…with the Bible or science.”

In an email exchange with this newspaper Monday, Oct. 5, Dr. Hillary Maddin, a Banting post-doctoral fellow at Carleton University’s Department of Earth Sciences, wrote that the Great Extinction occurred “65 million years ago,” when “non-avian dinosaurs disappear from the fossil record.”

Jordan Mallon, Ph. D., a research scientist in paleobiology at the Canadian Museum of Nature, in another Oct. 5 email exchange, wrote that the earth is “thought to be 4.5 billion-years-old, based on established radiometric dating techniques. The universe itself is 13.8 billion-years-old.”

Because all we have to go on with regards to dinosaurs rests on what we can glean from their bones, there are many things we do not know about them.

“We don’t even know what colour their skin was,” Olsthoorn said. “All we have left are their bones.”

He attempted to reconcile one of the first, most well-known stories of the Bible, the flood that lifted Noah’s ark, as being the

Girls hold their own in hometown rugby tourneys Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

When push came to shove, the female RedHawks pushed back for a decent performance at this year’s fall rugby tournaments in Smiths Falls.

The seniors took on a trio of strong rugby clubs Friday, Oct. 9 during their home tournament. The girls tied it up 0-0 against two teams and lost one 5-0.

The day-long event welcomed teams from Holy Trinity, Bishop Smith and St. Joe’s, who were strong opponents on the field and provided a fantastic learning opportunity for the Smiths Falls girls, which was the key objective of coach, Jacob Swarbrick.

“Practice has become a little bit more relevant,” he said.

The senior team is comprised of 39 girls who have come together for the first time this season during the early October tournament. The girls’ regular season doesn’t begin until next spring, but coach Swarbrick is eager to get his teams out and playing as much as possible in and out of regular season.

“It’s nice to have the numbers and have everyone having fun,” he said.

This Thursday, the varsity team will be travelling to Brockville to meet up with the Thousand Islands Secondary School (TISS).

Junior tournament The junior rugby team was able to earn a win against TISS’ senior rugby team during their Oct. 16 home tournament. The TISS team was the only locally sourced competitor in the fun tournament. Other teams hailed from Arnprior, Trenton and Central Hastings (Madoc). The invitations were sent out with a mind to welcome some of the best girls rugby players in the region.

Trenton’s team won OFSAA gold last

“To get better you have to play better,” Swarbrick added. “That’s where we need to be playing.”

The girls came out strong in the first half of play against Trenton, keeping the scoreboard tied at halftime. The game was ultimately decided by a single point in favour of the visitors.

Their third match ended similarly against Central Hastings with one point separating the victorious visiting team and the RedHawks.

In March 2016 the rugby club will host a team from Newfoundland for a period of time before boarding a plane and traveling to the east coast themselves. Swarbrick said the exchange experience is a great opportunity to see how rugby is played in other parts of the country, while exposing players to a cultural experience and high school memory they will cherish forever.

Duplicate bridge provides years of Big wins enjoyment for Smiths Falls couple dominate Bridge trumps many other pastimes. Just ask Pauline Anderson. Her husband Keith (usually known as Andy) taught her to play the challenging card game on their honeymoon.

Now, close to half a century later – the couple will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary next year – the Andersons are still duplicate bridge enthusiasts.

“It’s really the only activity that we enjoy together,” says Pauline, who has been very involved in the community during the 36 years the pair has lived in Smiths Falls.

As well as 26 years as a Welcome Wagon representative, she has been a regular volunteer at a local nursing home for a number of years. Meanwhile, Andy, who is president of the Smiths Falls branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, was a public servant with the Department of National Defence for 20 years, following his 22 years of service with the Royal Canadian Air Force.

It was while he was in the forces, stationed at the Metz air force base in northeastern France, that he met Pauline.

“My first job after leaving secretarial school was working for the Canadian Air Force in London,” says Pauline, who was born in England. “But I really wanted to go abroad. My idea was to work my way around the world.”

When she heard of an opening at the Metz base, she applied. Soon afterwards, she continued her career in France – her intended first stop on her world adventure.

Then destiny took over when she met her future husband at the base.

“One of my bosses was a scout leader,” explains Pauline, “Andy used to work for the scouts, so he was in the office a lot. But it wasn’t until he was looking for someone to take to the spring ball that we really got to know each other.”

Six weeks after that first date in April, they were engaged. On Oct. 22, 1966, they were married.

Playing cards came into the picture when a

group of her girlfriends took Pauline to the theatre just before the wedding. As the stage drama they attended included a scene in which a newly married couple played cards on their honeymoon, Pauline was presented with a deck of cards to take on hers.

Thus, the newly married Andersons were able to reflect the on stage fiction and they began their life together with Andy, who had played bridge since the age of 10, teaching his bride the rudiments of the card game.

The partnership at the bridge table has continued through postings to points east and west across Canada, from Summerside, Prince Edward Island, to Cold Lake, Alberta, and during the years of raising their three children.

The Andersons are longtime members of the Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club, which runs games at the Legion each Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon. Players of all levels are welcome.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you can’t seem to focus your attention on one thing this week.

However, wandering thoughts may put you in touch with some better ideas.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may like to tackle projects on your own, but sometimes letting someone else pitch in can provide a fresh perspective and a new way of doing things.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It’s time to get serious about your job-seeking efforts, Gemini. Start putting out feelers and see what is available. Also, fine-tune your résumé to get noticed.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, while success brings you many things, it can feel lonely at the top. Make some time to reconnect and hang out with friends this week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, listen more than you speak in the coming days. You can learn so much more by remaining quiet and taking it all in, and others will appreciate your attentiveness.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, after an exciting event, life may seem a little mundane for a while. Happiness is what you make of it. Try a new hobby or make some new friends.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Expand your social circles and you may meet some influential new people, Libra. This can only help your reputation and open up new doors to various opportunities.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, take control of a situation that comes to light this week. No one else seems capable of taking the reins but you. Chances are you will be an excellent leader.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be unable to keep everything organized this week.

Don’t fret, as you need not be in complete control at every moment.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may be inspired to do something creative but don’t know where to begin. Pisces may be a good source of inspiration. You can work on a project together.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, make the necessary changes in your life to put primary goals back on target. These may be career or fitness goals or even plans to increase family time.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week may start off a little differently than most, but by midweek you will find your groove.

Aston

On October 10, 2015, Beverley Elaine Donna MacPhail (nee Bankart), a Montrealer living in Carleton Place, ON for the last twenty years.

Beverley was born in Montreal in 1927, the only daughter of Mabel Edgar, originally from Virden, MB, and Donald Bankart, originally from Stock, Essex, England. Beverley graduated from the Montreal General School of Nursing in 1949, moving to Vancouver for a few years before returning to Montreal and marrying Donald MacPhail, a native of Glengarry County, ON, in 1952.

Beverley, ever the nurse, worked at the Montreal Children’s Hospital until she had children of her own and then volunteered in oncology wards and food banks until well past the normal retirement age.

Beverley and Donald and their family of three boys lived in the New York City area for several fascinating years in the late 60s and early 70s. She and Donald also travelled extensively within Australia and New Zealand as well as to most US states and much of Europe. Beverley most enjoyed her travels in Canada though, perhaps influenced by rail trips across Canada in the 30s and a road trip across the country in the late 40s when much of the road from Montreal to Vancouver was not even paved. A proud Canadian and Montrealer, Beverley was an Expos fan who was strongly supporting the Blue Jays until her last days.

Donald predeceased Beverley in 2014 but she is survived by their three sons, Donald E.A. (and Ann) of Rothesay, NB, Peter A.B. of Innisville, ON and John E.B. (and Denise) of Calgary, AB. Beverley was also “Gran” to her granddaughters Jenna and Allison and grandsons Keith and Ian and “Aunt Beverley” to Ann, Ian, Janet and Elizabeth, children of her husband’s sister Charlotte and close cousins of her sons.

There was a 2 p.m. service at the Alan R. Barker funeral home, 19 McArthur St. Carleton Place, ON followed by a celebration of Beverley’s life at The Waterside, 105 McNeely Avenue, Carleton Place at 3:30 p.m. on October 17, 2015.

Donations to the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation, Médecins Sans Frontières or Habitat for Humanity will be gratefully acknowledged. www.barkerfh.com

VILLENEUVE - In loving memory of Stephen Victor, who passed away October 22, 1999.

If we listen really close In the silence of the night.

We hear your voice to comfort us, And say that your alright.

But it’s often hard to understand, Why certain things must be.

And the reasons why they happen, Are so often hard to see.

But we find comfort in the knowledge, That God is always there.

To keep the one we love so much, Forever in His care.

Loved and missed always, Nancy, Darlene, Pete, Chad, Redeana, Aidan, Lachlan and Cameron
