Karen Schecter, the chief librarian of the Smiths Falls Public Library has been given the Joyce Brennan award for her tireless efforts and contributions to the arts and culture in Smiths Falls.

This was the fifth annual presentation of the award created by the Smith Falls and District Arts and Culture Council, (SFDACC).

The area’s annual Art Journey show at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on Saturday, Oct. 24 was the ideal time to announce the winner of the award. The announcement was made Saturday evening at the community centre.

Smiths Falls Coun. Jay Brennan, the son of the late Joyce Brennan, introduced Karen Schecter as this year’s award recipient.

“Karen has been the chief librarian of the Smiths Falls library since 1987,” said Brennan. He explained how she had expanded the capacity of the library as well as developed literacy programs for children and adults. “In addition, she has expanded the library’s reference capacity and developed information technology within the library and in the wider community.”

Schecter’s achievements include the Human Library in 2014, and 2015 and the One Book – One Community in 2015.

“For many years Karen has headed the Smiths Falls component of Film Night International, first at the movie theatre and since 2013 at the Station Theatre,” said Brennan. “As a result of this extracurricular effort on behalf of the community, hundreds of residents of the area have enriched their Joseph Morin/METROLAND cultural life.”

What’s the difference between a graveyard and cemetery?

The answer was just one of the fascinating tidbits offered up at the third annual Haunted Heritage, which was hosted by the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum on Oct. 15.

“A graveyard is around a church and a cemetery is on the edge of town,” Steven Robert Morrison said.

Morrison, a tarot, palmistry and face reader from Ottawa, was one of the evening’s speakers. Joining him was local storyteller resident Linda Seccaspina, museum curator Jennifer Irwin and funeral director Emma Drummond.

Talking about mourning rituals of the past, “mourning means to display the conventional signs of grief,” Irwin said, “and samples of mourning include wearing symbolic colours, draping of buildings and flying flags at half-staff.”

In the home where a death took place, certain things would traditionally be done. For example, curtains would be drawn and clocks would be stopped at the time of death.

“Mirrors were covered with crape or veiling to prevent the deceased’s spirit from getting trapped in the looking glass,” Irwin said, “and a wreath of boxwood tied with black ribbons was hung on the front door to alert passersby that a death had occurred.”

She noted the body was watched over every minute until burial, “hence the custom of waking.”

The wake also served as a safeguard from burying someone who was not dead. Most wakes also lasted 3-4 days to allow relatives to arrive from far away.

“We used candles and flowers for atmosphere but also to take away the smell of a dead body,” Irwin said.

In the 19th century Europe and America the dead were carried out of the house feet first, in order to prevent the spirit from looking back into the house and bring people with him or her. Too, family photographs were also sometimes turned facedown to prevent any of the close relatives and friends of the deceased from being possessed by the spirit of the dead.

The third annual Haunted Heritage, hosted by the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum, was held on Oct. 15. In addition to attending a mock funeral, guests heard about death, burial and mourning rituals of the past. Getting into the ‘spirit’, from left: speakers Linda Seccaspina and Steven Robert Morrison, Carleton Place Coun. Sean Redmond, the municipal representative on the town’s heritage committee, and museum curator Jennifer Irwin.

Mourning clothes were a family’s outward display of their inner feelings, and the rules for who wore what and for how long were complicated.

“The traditional mourning time for women was four years, and if you didn’t do that you were considered disrespectful,” Irwin said.

“The deepest mourning phase lasted one year and a day,” she continued, which was followed by phases of half mourning to slight mourning.

For deepest mourning, clothes were to be black, symbolic of spiritual darkness.

“No hats or jewelry were allowed, but veiled bonnets were acceptable,” Irwin said.

Little touches of grey and white were added during the half mourning phase, and women could start to wear jewelry.

Pearls, for example.

“Lavender was introduced during slight mourning,” Irwin said.

Drummond, 21, is from Carleton

Place, and she is the eldest grandchild of locals Wayne and Lorna Drummond.

Working towards her class one funeral director license, she is currently with Cole Funeral Services.

“Some people think it’s crazy, but it is the most rewarding and gratifying thing I could have ever chosen to do.”

Why did she get into the profession?

“All of my role models in my family have all chosen to make helping people their main career choice,” Drummond said. “We have firefighters, police officers, paramedics, dental assistants and nurses.”

“Of course, grandma was an X-ray technician,” she added.

Although the funeral director profession has changed a lot over time, one thing has remained the same.

“Our job is to make sure we give you the most dignified experience that we can for the person you need to say goodbye to,” Drummond said, “and it’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.”

Seccaspina told a few stories, including the tale of young Margaret Violet King. In July 1937 the six-year-old nearly drowned in the Mississippi River

down by the hydro plant. Two men, Lionel and Wilfred Bigras, saved her. In a sad twist, a decade later, in August 1937, the river took the life of the poor swimmer.

Morrison spoke on a few issues, including the many symbols found on gravestones: flowers, objects, body parts, lettering, etc.

The hourglass on its side, for example, indicates that time has stopped for the deceased; the broken flower or tree, that life has been cut short.

“An arch symbolizes a triumphant entry into heaven or victory over death,” Morrison said, “and a lamb is a symbol of innocence, used primarily on an infant’s or a child’s gravestone.”

“As they were professionals, a doctor, banker, dentist, lawyer, etc. would have either a skeleton or skull on their gravestones,” he added.

The weeping willow signified an early death, and the letters “DSP” indicated the deceased had no children.

Other Haunted Heritage festivities included a mock funeral, music and scary cupcakes. Admission was $10 per person and all proceeds will benefit the museum.

New policy for community grants endorsed by Lanark County council akulp@perfprint.ca

Lanark County has taken steps to ensure all groups and organizations are on an even playing field with its new community grants policy.

Council formally endorsed the new document at its Oct. 21 meeting, after lengthy discussions on it at three previous meetings, most recently, the Oct. 7 corporate services committee session.

“The idea of the policy would be that no one is grandfathered.

We’re starting fresh and no one is guaranteed,” Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves noted in his Oct. 7 presentation to the committee.

The program is designed to and cannot be used for capital requirements or funding for buildings (purchase, renovation or construction). Its definition, Greaves stated, is “taxpayerlevied funds given to third party organizations that do not have a signed contract for service with Lanark County.” “...Local projects that have a direct impact on the people of our community or an indirect impact by increasing the capacity of organizations to initiate and sustain projects,” he continued.

Community grants allocations will remain status quo for 2016 with the new program to be included in the 2017 budget. The cut off date for applications for 2017 will be Sept. 15, 2016.

“This gives everybody lots of notice that we’re going to a new program and they’ll have the opportunity to send in their applica-

tions,” Greaves said.

Coun. John Gemmell (acting Perth mayor) wanted to see the policy implemented sooner.

“We need a policy. Every year at budget time we contradict ourselves and do the same thing the following year,” he said. “We need something. We can’t be everything to everybody...it may be harsh to some people, but it’s true.”

Coun. Shaun McLaughlin agreed, noting that organizations such as the Lanark Transportation Association and the Lanark Archives shouldn’t have to apply through the community grants process. “Our (Lanark County) archives, our transportation system, these are things that should get money...some of these things are integral to our community and our business should be funded on a regular basis,” he stated. “...What happens to those organizations when we stop giving money? Some organizations will go somewhere else because they have a number of different pots of money but we have to format this policy to the must haves, not the wants.”

Another issue surrounded ongoing funding the county provides to its five youth centres, which amounts to $200,000 a year. Some councillors felt these funds shouldn’t come out of the community grants coffers, but become a dedicated line item in the budget.

“This (policy) protects those that don’t have funding from other places and have a huge impact on youth in our community,” stressed Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor).

“If the youth centres’ funding grant is taken out (of community grants), then I do not support this policy.”

“I support this (including youth centres) fully,” added Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place deputy mayor). “I suggest that money stay right where it is.

That is money well spent.”

Some councillors suggested the youth centres funding be included in the social services budget, which prompted Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve) to disagree.

“I agree with the comments about the youth centres. I support the funding, for sure, but my issue is it being in the social services budget. It’s one of transparency for me,” she said. “It is a community grant and I’m proud to say that we do offer that (funding)...it should be in with all the other community programs we support.”

“It’s grant money,” continued Coun. Aubrey Churchill (Drummond/North Elmsley reeve). “It’s not to be hidden in some other area and that’s what it looks like we were doing (before). We were hiding it, there’s no doubt about it. I totally support this program and the (youth centres) funds should be come out of community grants.”

Greaves confirmed that the youth centres funding is only for the current year but “under a new policy, council can approve these (funds) for a term of council.”

Two terms of funding will be available through the program: short term projects or grants that would span the full term of council.

Canada Post is temporarily suspending future deployment of the program to convert door-todoor mail delivery to community mailboxes.

We will work collaboratively with the Government of Canada to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system.

Efforts are now underway to place the comprehensive program on hold in an orderly

fashion. This involves roughly 460,000 addresses across the country which are currently in the process to be converted to community mailboxes.

As a result, all conversions planned for November and December 2015 and those announced for 2016 will be placed on hold.

Customers impacted by this decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their

mail delivery service.

In neighbourhoods where the 10-month internal and community conversion process is complete, customers will collect mail and parcels at their community mailbox. This includes customers set to begin receiving their mail and parcels in their boxes in October. We remain focused on maintaining reliable postal service to all Canadians without disruption.

Dr. Phillips’ advice is to make a connection with your child before addressing inappropriate behavior. She says when we make a connection with our child, it decreases stress, which allows the child to think, problem solve and this reduces power struggles.

The tradition continues with the tenth annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour on Dec. 5 and 6, presented by the women of CFUW Perth and District.

Once again we open the doors to some of the town’s most unique homes between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day.

The eight featured homes will provide you with a wealth of ideas for decorating your home and planning renovations. All of the homes pay tribute to the history of our area and were built in 19th or very early 20th centuries.

Local decorators and florists have helped the homeowners dress the houses beautifully for the holidays.

On Oct. 7, Dr. Sian Phillips presented two seminars one for parents and one for professionals.

Both sessions, Engaging with Children: How to Parent with Purpose and Engaging Children and Families to Help Build Positive Relationships were both well received by the audiences.

They thought she was an “Amazing presenter …with very informative and down to earth…information.”

The Connections program (part of Lanark Renfrew Health and Community Services) and Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW) hosted the two events at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls as part of a grant received by the Lanark County Best Start Network.

Siblings spend retirement together at Van Horne Manor Many of us believe it’s important to maintain close ties with family throughout our lives, and one group of siblings has really taken that sentiment to heart.

Five of the original nine Van Dusen siblings are alive and well, and they all living together at Chartwell Van Horne Retirement Residence in Smiths Falls.

Their close bonds with one another are evident, as they all chose to spend their retirement years with one another.

A family connection Siblings Ivors, Ormand, Claude, Bud and Norva grew up in Smiths Falls and were always close. A lively, cheerful bunch, the siblings all share a love of music. Norva, who joined the Chartwell family in April of this year, was a former member of her church’s choir and was an avid pianist throughout her life. Ormand also enjoys dancing and is known to encourage others to join him on the dance floor at all of the residence’s musical events.

“He is not shy to get the ladies on their feet dancing,” says Natasha Paquette, general manager at Chartwell Van Horne. “Ormand always has a smile on his face and shows his kind heart to fellow residents.”

In addition to this shared love of music, the siblings are often found sitting together after meals, catching up on old times. Norva expressed how grateful she is to still be so close to her brothers during their retirement years.

“It’s the first time in all of our lives since we were kids that we are back together again,” Ormand told Paquette.

“We often sit together after meals and carry on about the crazy things we did as kids. Then we have good laughs. What better thing could happen to a family?”

As well as painting on stones, Radmore’s talent extends to creating exquisite silk scarves. How she does it is as interesting as her stone creations. She ‘cooks’ them in a pressure cooker. Yes, a pressure cooker for about 45 minutes, which guarantees the setting of the colours.

This talented artist, who lives in Stittsville, will join dozens of other crafts people at the annual IODE Craft Fair, being held at the Carleton Place Arena upper level at 75 Neelin Street, just behind the hospital, on Saturday, Oct. 31.

Elizabeth Radmore leaves no stone unturned when it comes to her love of unusual and interesting rocks.

After a recent trip to Ireland, Radmore’s suitcases were loaded with stones she gathered along the Antrim Coast. This weighty cargo will eventually be replicas of English Cottages with thatched roofs, commissioned works from those who want their own cottage, house, or pet perpetually remembered.

Radmore, among her other talents as an artist loves stones.

She gathers them from wherever she happens to be, as long as it’s along the coast of a body of water. She has collected from the Madawaska River, and the shores of Calabogie Lake, finding shapes and sizes ranging from oval to flat, and from a few inches to one in her own yard which measures about 10 by eight inches.

The continuous washing of the stones from the waters along coastlines, leaves a smooth surface, which is ideal for the painting Radmore does.

She first uses modeling

Saluting future leaders

t is time once again to celebrate the achievements of some the younger members of our community. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Ontario Junior Citizen Award.

The Ontario Community Newspapers Association and its members (including The Record News, The Kemptville Advance, The Perth Courier and The Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette) have been presenting the awards since 1981. The program is a way of recognizing exceptional children and younger teens who make a difference. Up to 12 individuals will be selected as Ontario Junior Citizen Award recipients for 2015.

Any resident of Ontario who is at least six years old as of Nov. 30 but no older than 17 by that date is eligible. There are five nomination categories: community service, contributing while living with a disability, performing a heroic act in the past year, excellence in personal achievements and “good kids” going above and beyond to make the lives of others better.

These individuals might volunteer for numerous organizations or seek support for causes with which they or someone they know are involved. Nominating these children and youths and sharing their stories might inspire other young people to follow suit and remind adults of the positive efforts made by the future leaders of the community.

In addition to completing the main form (which includes the consent of a parent or guardian), there are also supporting nomination forms to be completed by at least two individuals other than the primary nominator. Copies of the forms will be available at our office at 65 Lorne St., Smiths Falls. They can also be obtained by visiting www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or emailing jr.citizen@ocna.org. The deadline to submit is Nov. 30. Each nominee will be presented with a certificate of recognition, and we will showcase his or her achievements in our publication. The final recipients will be honoured at a special ceremony at Queen’s Park.

Mother knew long winter months ahead would mean being shut in It was happening again. In my mind’s eye I could see back to the year before. It seemed to happen when the weather changed from warm sunny days to a snap in the air, and when flakes of ice formed all around the watering trough in the barnyard.

I just couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was old enough to know there was a change in Mother, and it happened at the same time of the year. What could it be?

Maybe she was worried that we would have enough food to last us over the coming winter.

But that couldn’t be. The cellar was full of preserves and canned vegetables, the smoke house full of meat, and the big barrel of sauerkraut was already out in the summer kitchen beside the smaller barrel of pickled herring. No, it couldn’t be because Mother was worried about our starving to death. But there was no doubt

Only four Liberal MPs elected in riding’s history? Not quite says reader DEAR EDITOR:

In the article “Conservative Reid re-elected but ends up back in opposition,” you quote Lanark-FrontenacKingston MP-elect Scott Reid as noting this riding has only voted Liberal four times in 42 federal general elections.

This statement is not totally accurate, but is somewhat closer to the truth than the common myth that Liberals have never been elected, or elected only once.

It too had come from New York, and was only worn for very special occasions. Father, who wasn’t much for any change to his routine, or for fancying up the house, said nothing.

According to the parliamentary website, there have been six Liberals elected in Lanark County, three of them in the former riding of Lanark North, starting with my three-times great-grand-uncle, Daniel Galbraith (Feb. 1, 1813-Dec. 17, 1879) who was elected in 1872, 1874 and 1878, dying in office in the middle of his third term.

She stood there, quietly, for the longest time looking out into the black yard. Then she sighed, as if it was coming from her boot tops, and closed the door and just stood there quietly, saying nothing.

Then she took down her diaries, and her scrapbooks, sharpened her pencils with a kitchen knife, and began to write.

Lanark North was again represented by a Liberal from 1904 to1908 when Lanark mill owner Thomas Boyd Caldwell (Feb. 22, 1856-March 26, 1932) served during Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s administration.

The only Liberal to represent Lanark County as a single riding, unattached to any neighbouring counties, was Smiths Falls fuel dealer Bert H. Soper (March 15, 1884-July 2, 1968)

LETTER From page 8

anyone voted Conservative at all in this election. Fortunately, enough did that the Conservatives are still very much alive versus the near collapse of the Liberal party in 2011. It is this campaign of hate which has been the most unfortunate thing to witness this election. One question comes to mind in response and that is, how was the hate that some people have had for Stephen Harper, any better than the hate people have accused Harper of harbouring and reflecting in his policies? Traditionally we have voted for the best man or woman for the job, the most experienced and capable, not for the person who is most likely to defeat the candidate we don’t

ottawavalleytours.com want to see get elected based on popularity or a last name.

In my opinion, Stephen Harper has done a very good job for Canada, despite the challenges he has had to face during the economic downturn and uncertainty we have been moving through. I think in due time, we will come to understand better and perhaps miss Harper’s lacklustre ways, as not a sign that he lacked inspiration, but that he was more interested in focusing on the job at hand without the need for so much fanfare.

With regards to the comments made

by Liberal candidate Phil Archambault, in his suggestion that Scott Reid’s win was solely attributable to Lanark people voting the way their grandparents did -

Travel Reg.#2967742 & 5000006

when I read this I thought, that is quite an insult to Scott as well as those who voted for him. To suggest that Scott Reid’s win was based solely on a history of demographical choice is making the assumption that people did not take the opportunity to think about their vote and where they chose to place it, in choosing Scott as the best person for the job. I am sure for the first time in a long time, people thought quite a bit about their vote this election. Obviously I don’t agree with the result we have ended up with, but the people have spoken. Time will tell if the choice was the best one for Canada as a whole.

Classic Theatre Festival actor receives prestigious award nomination Last week, the Classic Theatre Festival, Perth’s summertime professional theatre company, was informed that one of its performers, Alison Smyth, had received a prestigious Capital Critics Circle Best Actress nomination for her performance as the blind Susy Hendrix in the festival’s 2015 production of the thriller Wait Until Dark, directed by Laurel Smith.

The Capital Critics Circle is a collection of some of Canada’s top professional theatre critics, including Iris Winston, Jamie Portman, and Patrick Langston.

The Toronto-based Smyth will return to her Ottawa hometown Nov. 21 for the annual awards ceremony at the National Arts Centre.

“The National Arts Centre is the theatre I went to see my first professional everything!” enthused Smyth upon hearing the news.

“My first musical, opera, symphony, concert recital, play and ballet. It is the theatre that had me transfixed as a child.

It will be very exciting to return to the NAC for my first Best Actress nomination.”

Smyth says she was elated to hear the news, as she was “very proud to be a part of Wait Until Dark. The entire company was fully invested in always Photo courtesy Jean-Denis Labelle finding and playing the truth. This made The Classic Theatre Festival’s Alison Smyth has won a Best Actress nomit magical.”

Wait Until Dark, the story of a blind ination for her performance in the festival’s 2015 staging of the thriller woman who must defend herself after Wait Until Dark.

her apartment has been invaded by criminals, drew five-star reviews all summer from critics and audiences alike, and also marked the professional debut of local aspiring performers Madison Miernik of Perth and Samantha Salter of Smiths Falls, who shared the role of the nine-year-old Gloria. Rounding out the cast were Classic Theatre veteran performers Alastair Love, Greg Campbell, Richard Gélinas, Scott Clarkson, and Sean Jacklin.

“It’s a challenging play to produce because so many elements have to come together in an exact fashion to keep the tension building right until the final moment, and we were thrilled to be able to have such a great company to pull it off,” says director Laurel Smith, who notes the introduction of mysteries and thrillers into the festival’s summer mix has been a major success.

Behind her onstage poise, Smyth confesses that “the role of Susy brought me some anxiety leading up to rehearsals. Once Susy enters in at the end of the first scene, she never leaves the stage for more then a few seconds. I wanted to know my lines before rehearsals so that the element of memorization would have been dealt with and I could focus on finding a truthful performance. As a performer, Susy made me connect with the other actors without using my eyes.

That was a challenge and very interesting. It was such a juicy role. I’m grate-

The latest Hydro One rate hike is a slap in the face to Ontarians and more evidence the Wynne government should abandon its fire sale of the utility and focus on making rates more affordable.

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark made that statement Oct. 16 in the wake of news the Ontario Energy Board has approved electricity rate increases to take effect Nov. 1.

The increase means an average customer will pay about $53 more annually for hydro – an 8.7 per cent spike in the on-peak rate.

“It’s completely unacceptable that we’re heading into the winter heating season and the Wynne government’s policies are driving rates even higher,”

said Clark, adding the increase will make it even harder for struggling families to make ends meet.

“Instead of forging ahead with a disastrous plan to sell-off Hydro One, which will increase rates even more, the Premier should fix her government’s broken energy policies,” explained Clark. “Those policies and her failure to clean up the waste and mismanagement at Hydro One are the reason electricity rates in Ontario have sky-rocketed.”

Indeed, today’s announcement is the second increase in this year after the average bill went up by $68 per year in May. And with the government set to cancel the 10 per cent Clean Energy Benefit

in January, Clark noted the New Year will ring in another increase.

“More and more families in LeedsGrenville are forced to choose between putting food on the table and paying their rent or paying the hydro bill,” said Clark, who also pointed out the increases are making it harder for businesses to keep their doors open.

“The government needs to recognize the damage their energy policies are doing to Ontario. Families and businesses can’t take any more – and if Premier Wynne and her Energy Minister aren’t up to the job, they should admit it today and step aside.”

ful that Classic Theatre Festival cast me because it made for fulfilling work as an actress.”

The Capital Critics Circle nomination (the second for the festival) is among a number of noteworthy achievements that have helped place Perth on the regional map as a tourism destination for professional entertainment, including nominations for the 2013 Premier’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts, Best New Company (Ottawa Tourism), Vision Awards (Land O Lakes Tourism), and top-tier scores in the OHVation customer service ranking.

“But the best recognition we get is from our audiences (80 per cent of them tourists) when they enjoy the show and come back for more, which is not only great for the company, but also good news for Perth’s economy,” says Smith.

“Cultural tourists outspend all other tourists by a ratio of almost two to one, and that is good news for our partners in the restaurant and accommodation business, as well as for downtown shops.”

The festival is slated to officially announce its 2016 season shortly, with the exciting teaser that the mainstage season will expand to add a third play, pushing the season opening to June 24 and running until Sept. 11, 2016.

Home visiting program in Lanark County going into 23rd year

based on mutual trust and respect.

Most visits are once a week or twice a month for about an hour, this is always determined by what the family needs.

We can help parents to better understand their children, bringing toys to our visits and showing parents how to increase learning and positive play. We offer current information on relevant topics, model skills, help to problem solve and actively listen and support. Our Home Visitors know about resources in the community and can facilitate referrals. When our budget allows we offer help with practical things such as extra food or diapers. We can accompany a family as well to an important appointment or legal clinic,

or offer support by phone if their child is sick or in hospital.

Our Home Visiting program is federally funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, under the Community Action Program for Children (CAPC). Various community agencies across Canada get this funding to develop and deliver programs to vulnerable families, with the common goal of promoting the healthy development of children ages 0-6.

There are approximately 425 CAPC projects serving over 223,000 vulnerable children and parents/caregivers in more than 3,000 communities across Canada each year. Each program is community based, offering various types of programming.

At Connections we use this funding to provide home visiting, parent child playgroups, parent education groups, school readiness programs for children going to school next year and special events/daytrips in the summer.

Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a co-operative effort involving the family, agency services and

How to choose nutritional options to donate to food drives this fall Marie Traynor

This is the time of year when many groups, schools and workplaces are contributing to community food drives.

We know that people with the biggest financial constraints are often the ones at highest risk for poor nutritional and overall health.

If you plan to donate canned or packaged food please consider using the % Daily Value (%DV) found in the Nutrition Facts Table to compare products.

In general, products with 5 per cent DV or less for sodium and total fat are a healthy choice.

Products with 15 per cent DV or more for fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron are also healthy choices. Make the healthy choice the easy choice.

• For canned vegetables, tomato products and soup choose those with no added salt or the lowest sodium content.

• For canned fruit choose those packed in water or fruit juice rather than syrup; choose vegetable juices with lower sodium.

• Choose 100 per cent juice instead of fruit beverages, drinks or cocktails.

• Choose unsweetened apple sauce.

Nutrition Tips • Choose plain dried fruit such as raisins, apricots, etc. instead of fruit leathers and “fruit” candies.

Grain products include pasta, crackers, granola bars, hot and cold cereals, rice • Look for the words “whole grain” as the first item on the ingredients list, for example, whole grain wheat.

• If storage facilities are available choose fresh bread products higher in fibre and lower in sodium.

• Choose hot and cold cereal made with whole grain, higher in fibre and lower in sugar.

• Look for crackers higher in fibre and lower in fat and sodium.

• Look for granola bars lower in fat, lower in sugar, higher in fibre.

• Choose brown rice and whole wheat pasta.

Milk and alternatives include milk, fortified soya beverage, yogurt and cheese • Dry milk powder can be added to foods to increase the calcium, vitamin D and protein, for example, it can be added to casseroles, liquid milk, cream soups and more.

• Choose lower fat (skim, 1% and 2% MF) evaporated milk.

MF stands for milk fat.

• Some agencies can accept fresh milk, fortified soya beverage, yogurt, and cheese if cold storage facilities are available – choose 2% MF or less for milk and yogurts; for cheese choose 20 per cent MF or less.

• Choose puddings made with skim milk as the first ingredient.

Meat and alternatives include meat, fish, eggs, peanut butter, nuts, seeds, beans and legumes • Choose the lower sodium canned meat and fish products; choose fish canned in water.

• Choose canned baked beans, dried or canned beans and lentils.

Look for the lowest sodium content.

• Choose dry roasted, no-salt added nuts and seeds.

• Look at the ingredient list for peanut butter. Choose those with only peanuts listed.

• In addition to peanut butter, consider choosing other nut butters such as almond.

• Choose fresh fish, meat, eggs and tofu if cold storage facilities are available.

Incorporation consideration If you’re like most unincorporated small business owners or a professional whose regulatory body allows incorporation (known as a Professional Corporation) you’re likely considering whether or not to incorporate and, if so, when is the best time.

While it’s true that incorporation does deliver terrific tax benefits and some creditor protection from your personal assets, there are pros, cons and caveats to incorporation that might affect your decision. Let’s look at them.

Cons • Cash Flow If you need all of the profits from your business to support your personal cash flow needs, incorporation may not be for you as the cost of setting up and maintaining the corporation could outweigh any tax benefits. On the other hand, if you are financially able to retain some profits inside the corporation, you could derive significant tax deferral and potential tax savings.

• Taxing Questions If you are just starting your business, incorporation should probably wait because losses incurred by an incorporated business can’t flow through to shareholders. In the early stages of your business, you’re likely better off using losses personally against other income. Once your business begins to earn income in excess of your own personal lifestyle needs you may begin to benefit from the ability to defer your tax liability to a future period and benefit from potential tax savings (in most provinces).

Caveats • Creditor-proofing Personal Assets Corporate creditors can generally only go after assets owned by the corporation. However, banks and other suppliers often require small business owners to personally guarantee corporate liabilities and corporate directors may be liable for many types of unpaid debts such as outstanding income tax, HST, GST and employee source deductions. Incorporation may provide some creditor protection, but only if properly structured, so speak to an advisor to ensure you are protected.

Invest in life. Contact us for more information.

Manage Your Money Pros • Income-splitting to reduce taxes by making your spouse or adult children shareholders as dividends will benefit from their respective marginal tax rates – or employing them in the business, provided the remuneration is reasonable for their work performed.

• Deferring certain expenses. For example, you can deduct employee bonuses for tax purposes before year-end but are only required to actually pay out the bonus after year-end (certain restrictions apply).

• Leaving assets in the corporation where they will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis until you choose to withdraw them.

• Creating a registered pension plan and tax-deductible group health and life insurance plan for you and your employees (which could include family members).

• Choosing a fiscal year spanning any 12-month period. Select a fiscal year that coincides with business or cash flow peaks or when corporate expenses are higher (potentially reducing your tax bite).

• Structuring your corporation to continue after your death for estate planning purposes.

There are certainly potential benefits to incorporation but incorporating also comes with costs – from initial setup and legal costs to ongoing requirements for tax returns and corporate resolutions – and other legal requirements. Be sure to talk to your legal, tax and professional advisor before you do.

‘Are we speaking the same language?’ English has many variations I have heard this said on many occasions. “People in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and Canada have many things in common. But language isn’t one of them.”

Obviously that’s a facetious statement referring to the fact the English language has lots of words with many different meanings. Words that mean one thing in Canada, for example, mean something entirely different in the UK and Ireland. Then there is local slang. Words which are common in one or more of the countries I am referring to today.

In recent months my wife Kathleen and I have experienced this “local language” situation in spades. In August and September we vacationed in the Irish Republic and England. During our time there we met and spoke to travelers from around the world including folks from Australia and New Zealand. Because we speak the same language, after a fashion, it is easy to strike up a conversation. When we speak most of them think we’re Americans of course. But that is easily sorted out.

In recent days Kathy and I had friends from Scotland staying with us. On occasion it was a challenge for us to understand what they were saying because of their thick accents. At other times we were left scratching our heads because some words they used or sentences they strung together simply didn’t make sense to us.

Certain words and/or slang terms are familiar to people in all English-speaking countries.

In Canada, for example, “underwear” is used more than “knickers.” Still, the latter is easily understood by all of us – i.e. “don’t get your knickers in a knot.”

When we were in Dublin we were enjoying the atmosphere in a jam-packed local pub one evening when a couple from Australia asked if they could share our table. They were traveling in Ireland and the UK for two months. That’s routine for Aussies. If they’re going to come that distance they usually stay for a while.

They were pleasant folks and we had a really good chat, mainly about where we had been, what we had seen and where we were heading next.

After a short time the gentleman leaned over and asked me “where’s the dunnie?” It took me a few seconds to recall that “dunnie” is Australian slang for toilet.

Later the lady described an enjoyable meal they had in Temple Bar, Dublin the night before.

“There was heaps – it was great,” she said. Heaps is easier to decipher. It means “a lot.”

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

If someone from Down Under says they “had a spill on their daks” they mean they dropped food on themselves. “Daks” are trousers.

When we parted company that night our new friends gave us a jaunty wave and she said, “Hooroo!”

Back at the hotel I had to look that word up on Kathy’s iPad. It’s Aussie for “goodbye.” Makes sense, eh!

Many variations It’s very easy to trip over certain slang words. For example, if the Australian fellow we met had asked the Irish bartender “where is the dunnie” he would have received only a blank stare in return. In Ireland the slang word for toilets is “jacks.” In England it’s the “loo.”

If the Irish are going to watch a movie they substitute “pictures” for movies although that is another word most English speakers can relate to.

On the other hand if you’re a Canadian in Dublin and a man tells you he is “off to meet his mot” you will no doubt be baffled. In Dublin slang “mot” means girlfriend.

New Zealanders have added their own twists to our common language.

If someone says “crook” to me I assume they’re talking about a criminal. To the Kiwis if you are “crook” you are sick, or unwell.

And don’t be offended if a New Zealander uses the word “dummy” when talking to you. They are probably looking for their baby’s pacifier. However, when they refer to a child they might say “sprog” which means the same thing.

Sounds more like an automobile part to me!

On the other hand if you’re in Auckland and you’re called “a wolly” you should be well and truly offended. A “wolly” is a clown, or a loser.

In our language there are certain words that are familiar in several English speaking nations.

Brits, Aussies and Kiwis all use the following automobile-related words that Canadians don’t.

“Bonnet” (hood), “boot” (trunk) or “windscreen” (windshield) is their terminology, not ours.

Last Wednesday George Lees and his daughter Amanda, our good friends from Comrie in Perthshire, Scotland flew home after a 10-day stay. We had a

great time together, just as we always do.

An ongoing theme for us is poking fun at each other’s language quirks. They love our “Canadian accents” something Kathy and I didn’t know we had until we established friendships with people in the UK. In turn we sometimes struggle to cut through their very pronounced accents. George, who spent 12 years in the British Navy and 30 years in the Scottish Police Force, speaks with a very thick brogue which we find difficult to understand at times.

That’s only part of the language “battle” however. The rest relates to Scottish slang words and terminology we aren’t familiar with. There is a lot to choose from when trying to explain it.

On their final day here George, Amanda and I were chatting and it suddenly dawned on me there might be a column brewing.

Turns out I was right!

The previous evening we had enjoyed dinner at the home of mutual friends. As we chatted Amanda said, “I really enjoyed the meal at Frank and Wendy’s last night. It was so homely.”

I was gob-smacked (that means “surprised” or “shocked” in the UK).

To me “homely” means someone who, to be kind, is lacking when it comes to physical attractiveness.

Sensing my bewilderment Amanda clarified her remark noting that to the Scots “homely” means something that is comfortable or enjoyable. Enjoying a pleasant evening meal at home for example. She was complimenting our hosts.

If the shoe fits Earlier we were driving through Carleton Place in George’s rented SUV. Suddenly a driver backed out of a driveway right in front of him, forcing George to swing to the left violently in order to avoid a collision. It was a near thing! A chorus of “eejit” (and a couple of words I won’t repeat here) erupted from our Scottish friends. Eejit is only a slight variation on “idiot.” If the shoe fits!

Speaking of near misses on the road, if someone in Scotland says “honkin” they don’t mean sounding their horn. To a Scot “honkin” means someone smells.

The slang word “minging” also refers to a person in Scotland who hasn’t bothered to change or wash for many days.

If someone tells a Canadian there’s “a jumper” we are liable to call 911. In Scotland a jumper is a sweater, something we’re all reaching for these days.

At one point we were talking

about construction materials.

George said a word that sounded like “al-u-min-ium.” It finally struck me that he meant “aluminum.” Sometimes it’s all in the pronunciation.

If someone said to you “the gaffer is a right plonker” what would you make of it?

In Scotland it translates as “my boss is an idiot.”

That’s something many Canadians can relate to no doubt!

You definitely know your Scottish if you know, a “lassie” is a female, a “plaster” is a Band-Aid, a cast is a “stookie”, a “piece” is a sandwich, a “banger” is a sausage or “tatties” are potatoes.

On the highway and byways of Scotland you can expect to see

“people movers” (vans), lorries (trucks) and “bendy-coaches” (articulated buses). Just like Canada you will find drivers talking on their “mobiles” (cell phones) when they should be focused on their driving.

Watching soccer, my favourite sport, on TV in the UK is also an interesting experience. When a player starts a game in place of someone else the announcer says he is “deputizing” and when an athlete is knocked off their feet and falls on the pitch he is “on the floor.”

Yes, the words are familiar but despite the fact they’re all English, many have very different meanings depending on what country you’re visiting. It can definitely be a challenge to un-

derstand what you’re hearing at times.

The international “word game” has often prompted me to ask, “Excuse me. But are we speaking the same language?”

Words play a major role in my life. Yet occasionally they leave me totally flummoxed (that means “confused”).

Still, the biggest challenge when my Comrie friend George is around is attempting to filter the words and sentences from his considerable accent. Once, in total exasperation, I asked, “George, do you come with subtitles?”

In partnership with

Mona is coming to Carleton Place Town Hall this December What are we talking about? The People Versus Mona is a new musical murder mystery that is so funny it’s a crime! Set in the fictional towvn of Tippo, Georgia, it is loaded with southern charm, engaging characters and fabulous music. It will be presented cabaret style to appeal to an adult audience and would be a great outing for an office team or a group of friends to start off the holiday season.

Preparation for Mona’s arrival started many months ago: March: A small group reads the script aloud. They love the humour, characters and eclectic musical score.

They present it to the board for approval for the 2015-2016 Mudds season.

This local theatre troupe already has a good reputation for entertaining murder mysteries. The board decides it will be a perfect play to for the 2015 holiday season.

April: An experienced production team is assembled: The producer to worry about money and logistics; the directors to provide vision and training on all things artistic; and the bandleader to support and enrich the sound. With the expertise of Tony Scott, Brian McManus, Laurel Tye and Peter Brown the show is in good hands.

May: The stage manager, sound and light experts, people to work on the set, props, and costumes, sign up to the production team. Barb Dickson, Mark Tye, Brian Kasper, Jeff Lee, Christy Bindhardt, and Judith Scott all get a one-way

The Mississippi Mudds next production, a musical murder mystery entitled The People Versus Mona, opens Dec. 4 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Above, some of the key backstage personnel working on the project, have some fun during rehearsal.

Mona gets her cast!

June: The call goes out far and wide for actor-singers. Candidates arrive to audition. Mona needs all the usual – and

unusual – “suspects” that make for good entertainment. We need a feisty reporter, bumbling defence lawyer, idealistic bar owner, pushy prosecutor, singing police officer, blind folk singer, southern

preacher, creepy coroner, sketchy motel owner and three sexy back-up singers.

At the end of the day the perfect cast is chosen.

July and August: All through the hot summer, Mona’s journey continues. The producer negotiates good rehearsal space, makes bookings, talks to the caterer, plans publicity strategy and tweaks the budget. The directors plan the rehearsal schedule. The bandleader recruits musicians to join him on stage.

The actors study their scripts and music.

September: First rehearsal... oh, the excitement! The actors get together for the first time, to read and sing through the script. The hard work of learning lines and music begins. All are enthusiastic. In a few months Mona and her entourage will enter the town hall.

October: The advertising plan kicks in. Poster designer Jennifer Pfitzer and publicity manager Judith Scott brainstorm how to get the word out. Articles like the one you are reading now are one of the first strategies to alert a potential audience. There will also be website entries, banners, advertisements and use of social media. As always, word of mouth is the best way to spread the word. “Have you heard about the Mudds show opening in December? Maybe we should get a group together—sounds like it is going to be a riot!”

November: Tickets, designed and printed by Don Lee, are already at the outlet. You can go to The Davis Agency

Hallmark store at 428 McNeely Avenue.

You have lots of chances. The stores are open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. But don’t wait too long.

Dec. 4: Opening night! Town hall doors open and Jim and Judith Cousins with their team of Front of House volunteers are ready to greet you and your friends.

You buy a glass of wine, enjoy some munchies and relax after your busy week. You are about to be entertained.

Finally you get to meet Mona and hear her story.

The People Versus Mona runs Dec. 4 and 5 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m.

There will be reserved row seating and a cash bar at the evening shows. Soft drinks and treats will be available at the matinee. Tickets for the first weekend shows are $25.

On Dec. 11 and 12 the show will be presented as dinner theatre with round tables of eight. Leatherworks Catering provides the southern-style buffet dinner in keeping with the Georgia setting for the story. Dinner is served at 7 p.m., but get there early to enjoy a beverage and relax before the show. Tickets for the dinner theatre package are $40.

This show is suitable for older teen and adults. For more information on this and other Mudds productions go to mississippimudds.ca.

Hit train musical pulls into Station Theatre this Nov. 7 Here Comes the Train! The Ottawa Valley Railway Story, the latest hit musical from Stone Fence Theatre, is coming to Smiths Falls on Nov. 7 for two performances at the Station Theatre.

The story of the show goes behind the scenes of life in the railway steam era, with much of it based on stories from Smiths Falls, collected with the help of the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario.

The production looks at the lives of the people who worked on and around the trains and the impact railways had on the Ottawa Valley and Canada as a whole.

Most of the play is set in the

1950s, with a five-piece band and musical styles including bluegrass, blues and country/ folk.

To generate interest, the company has created a YouTube music video tied to the show. The video uses one of the songs from the show, “Got That Train on my Brain,” and was shot, in old-time movie style, at the old railway station in Barry’s Bay. It can be viewed online at https://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=UN8sY3vDU00&featu re=youtube.

The show will be performed at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Station Theatre on Nov. 7. The Station Theatre is located at 53

Victoria Avenue.

Tickets are available online at www.stonefence.ca or by phone, toll-free, at 1-866-3101004.

We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows – like Film Night International’s Louis Cyr on Oct. 29 and the Smiths Falls Community Theatre’s next movie, Mr. Holmes, on Nov. 20 and 21 – by going to our website or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre). And stay tuned for the Station Theatre’s announcement of its 2016 season of six plays and the SixPack Flex Pack Voucher.

Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre.

The Always and Forever bridal show held at the ballroom of the Gallipeau Centre was a success. This was the first year for the show that included more than 30 vendors, and a fashion show put on by Swissmiss Bridal. Left, Joseph morin/METROLAND Rebecca Rickenbach-Nolan and daughter Emma take a turn at the bridal show.

Evening of One-Act Plays opens Oct. 29 at Studio Theatre An Evening of One-Act Plays is proof that while some stories take two acts and two hours to tell, others are so simple and compelling they deliver a full measure of drama, humour or heartbreak in half that time.

Premiering Oct. 29 at the Studio Theatre, An Evening of One-Act Plays is a dramatically different kind of theatre experience – two bite-size plays, each about 30 or 40 minutes long, that welcome theatre goers into two unique worlds in one delightful evening.

The first world is that of an early 20th century farmhouse, where a murder has just been committed. Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles, written in 1916, is a murder mystery that, of course, unravels as clues are exposed.

But this thought-provoking play also gives us a revealing glimpse into the way women were perceived in a man’s world 100 years ago. The Studio Theatre’s production is directed

by Jane Stott, and stars Sheila Jasiak, Joanna McAuley Treffers, Grey Masson, Lucas Tennant, and Martin Treffers. The play features an original music composition, Call Up A Storm, written for the flute by Jen McLaughlin.

From murder mystery to murderously funny, the second oneact of the evening is The Way Of All Fish, written by legendary Academy Award-nominated actress and comedian Elaine May. This dark comedy, with as many twists and turns as a fish’s tail, places us squarely in the middle of a ping-pong power game of one-upmanship between a self absorbed Manhattan executive and her seemingly drab secretary. The Way Of All Fish represents the directorial debut of award-winning Studio Theatre actress Joanna McAuley Treffers, and stars Rideau Awardnominated actress Alexis Scott and accomplished musical theatre actress Keegan Carr. The set is by Reiner Silberhorn, and Joanna McAuley Treffers also takes on the roles of costumer and set dresser, along with Penny Silberhorn.

Both Trifles and The Way Of All Fish are Studio Theatre entries in the 2015 edition of the Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play Festival, which takes place in Haliburton the weekend of Nov. 6 to 8. The Studio Theatre has a storied history of success at the Eastern Ontario Drama League Festival, and this year’s entries will

is a beautiful, sweet and very affectionate kitty.

She is quite shy and timid so likes to feel relaxed and comfortable.

Once you get her out of her shell she loves nothing more then to be stroked and tickled.

If you have room in your heart for Eliza, please contact the shelter at 613283-9308. She will be waiting in the window.

This week’s featured pets Rascal Rascal is the funniest kitten. He only just has figured out how much fun playing and hiding inside his blanket is – in the morning, his favourite game is “what’s under the blanket” where you wiggle your hands around and he pounces on them. He had previously preferred eating as much as possible and snoozing the day away.

He now has a new secret skill: crawling underneath his blanket and waiting for you to walk by and then trying to tackle you from behind his cage bars.

He is such a gentle thing, but he is far too busy for so many kisses. Things to do, places to see. But, when the day is over, he reverts to his snoozy self and you can cuddle him to your heart’s content.

Jesse Jesse is a sweet young gentleman with the ability to steal people’s hearts in just a few minutes. He loves human presence and attention, likes to snuggle up next to you while your cleaning his cage, and enjoys being petted to such a degree that if you don’t initiate it yourself, he gently pokes you with his paw or tries to put his cute little face in your hand!

He is curious, responds when you talk to him, and follows you around while you clean. Jesse prefers to be in company of people than being alone,

Eliza Eliza loves to look out the window for the next visitors to the shelter. Possibly it is her turn to be adopted? Eliza

LAWS AGM Nov. 7 The LAWS Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held Saturday afternoon, Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on Cornelia Street.

This Week’s Pets and is always super happy to see you in the morning. He enjoys playing with interactive toys, but usually only for about five minutes at a time. He often has very vivid dreams and the accompanying twitching and quivering is really adorable. This warmhearted little guy is looking for someone who will be able to give him all the love and attention he deserves.

Our seniors Tangie This loving lady is to old to climb the curtains but not to old to climb on your lap. Tangie is a pretty lady who loves to flirt!

She enjoys meeting new friends and would love to meet her new family!

Looking for a cool kitty to hang with?

Tangie would love to get to know you.

Walter This handsome man knows he has the beautiful face and big cheeks every Tom wants! Water is shy when meeting new friends and appreciates gentle

pets. He has a tendency to hide during our open hours because of all the noise and chaos and he comes out when it is quit for a feisty game with the feather wand and other toys before he stretches out in front of a window.

Walter wants to stay near people while also being independent enough to happily occupy himself when your busy. He will do great as a member of an easy-going and calm home with adults and children over 12. Come meet this lovely boy today!

Max Meet Max: This boy loves to play fetch, and would benefit from an active home that can wear him out!

Max meets and greets other dogs nicely, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can be treated like a king.

Since he can be a rambunctious boy, he would likely be best suited in a

home without children under the age of seven. He would be a great adventure buddy, and is sure able to keep up with you wherever you go. Max would do well in a home familiar with his breed, and the focused nature of a German Shepherd.

If you are looking for a happy boy to be your new buddy, come by and meet him today.

Wish list LAWS is currently in need of the following items: small litter boxes, nonclumping cat litter, canned cat food and treats (Temptations), cat toys, canned Pedigree/dog food for dogs with gravey, dog Milk Bones, soft dog treats, Kongs, Chuck Its and other interactive toys (medium size and larger).

The shelter is also in need of some cleaning and office products: Bleach, J towels, laundry soap, latex and rubber gloves, garbage bags, primer and white paint, winter shovels, winter salt, printing paper, yellow highlighters, paper towel, Windex and toilet paper.

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

UCDSB trustee innovation awards honour excellence in education The Upper Canada District School Board honoured 15 employees Sept. 24 who have found ways to work smarter to benefit our students.

The third annual Trustee Innovation Awards saw two team and four individual awards presented during a ceremony at the Brockville board office. The event was designed to recognize innovative work practices by our staff, and highlight these practices so other employees may adopt them and make the system better.

Recipients of this year’s award were: The Almonte and District High School Innovators (Ron Ferguson, principal; Andy Carruthers, Dan Hickey, Joe Irvin, Ian Smith, Shelley Smith, Ashleigh Snowdon, and Steve Dalgity, teachers; and Stephany Stamos, educational assistant; Lisa Chitty, teacher, Thousand Islands Elementary School; Carrie Gilmour and Melissa Ringler, teachers, Seaway District High School: Penny Kirkby, custodian, Toniata Public School; Carla Bangma, teacher, Front of Yonge Elementary School, and Kelly LeBlanc, teacher, Russell Public School.

In presenting the awards, trustee Caroll Carkner praised the recipients for their trailblazing efforts to improve the educational experience of our students.

“This recognition lets our employees know we care and want to celebrate these innovative and creative people,” said Carkner, 1st vice chair of the board.

“By highlighting their efforts, it encourages others to try something new and different, the learning spreads among our staff, and our board gets better beSubmitted photo cause of it.”

Members of the Almonte and District High School Innovators pose The Almonte District High School Innovators Ron Ferguson: This principal at Almonte and District High School (ADHS) was nominated as part of the Almonte and District High School Innovators team. As the school leader, he facilitates innovation at the school and allows teachers to be creative and explore ways to make school engaging and relevant for students. He has helped introduce a variety of improvements at the school including: a performance arts space, a state-of-the-art fitness room, a new Maker Space room (explained be-

with their Trustee Innovation Award on Sept. 24. Back row, from left: Dan Hickey, Ron Ferguson, Andy Carruthers, Ian Smith and Trustee Don Cram. Middle row, from left: Stephany Stamos, Joe Irvin, Steve Dalgity, and Chair Jeff McMillan. Front row, from left: Director Charlotte Patterson, Shelley Smith and Ashleigh Snowdon. low) and improvements to the communications technology room.

Dan Hickey, teacher: This communications technology teacher is being honoured for several innovative accomplishments at ADHS, including streaming of school sports events, and introducing the Tech Team program to the school, an initiative that offers stu-

dents the opportunity to learn how technology can be used in the modern world for things like learning, sharing ideas and growing businesses. As part of the program, ADHS purchased 18 tablets, which teachers can sign out for use during lessons. After brainstorming ways the tablets could be integrated into lessons and figuring out logistics, the Tech

Team students had an opportunity to switch roles with their teachers and give them a lesson on using the technology.

With Hickey’s help, the school was able to win the 2015 Ken Spencer Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning.

Stephany Stamos, educational assistant: Stamos is being cited for starting a new school breakfast program, which makes a free breakfast available to any ADHS student who needs it. The “Thundermuffins” program feeds students a toasted English muffin with eggs and cheese, and a juice to start the day.

Stamos secured a $10,000 grant to start the program and organized four teams of community volunteers to help run it.

Andy Carruthers, design technology teacher: This veteran teacher helped set up the school’s innovative Maker Space design room where, if students dream it, they can make it. Under his guidance, students have excelled in robotics, welding and metalwork, stain glass and glass etchings, the creation of innovative design projects such as ping pong ball launchers, 3D printing, and T-shirt making.

Steve Dalgity, teacher: This teacher was the driving force behind his school’s CrossFit program and ADHS Fitness Space. He designed the state-of-the-art fitness space where staff, students and the community can meet their fitness goals. He even participated in a teacher swap last year with a Grades 7-8 teacher so he could teach intermediate students and spread his passion for fitness to future high school students.

Joe Irvin, construction technology teacher: Irvin is being honoured for starting the school’s Heritage Carpentry Program which is working with community partners to build a 9-by-12 foot timber framed building. The structure is being completed this semester by Grades 11 and 12 students enrolled in the Construction Specialist High Skills Major program. It is being built in the school and will later be erected like a barn raising. Area business Gibson Timber Frames provided two workshops to students to teach them basic timber frame joinery: using proper layout techniques and then using traditional mortise and tenon joinery cuts using large chisels, saws and specialized mortising machines.

Ian Smith, student success and English teacher: This veteran teacher is being recognized for out-of-the-box approaches that engage struggling students. After discovering some of the at-risk students in his essentials English class were interested in hunting and the outdoors, Smith had them research and create their own survival guides for enduring a Canadian winter outside in February.

The students built their own fires and snow shelters, and kept journals about the experience. He also piloted a “oneto-one” instructional approach with his essentials students.

Working with community partners, who helped sponsor the purchase of tablets that his students could use in class, he now delivers instruction using OneNote and various adaptive technologies to engage his students. He has been so successful that teams of teachers from across the board have visited his classroom to witness the learning he inspires among some of the school’s most challenged students.

Shelley Smith, music teacher: This outstanding teacher is being honoured for enhancing the music program at ADHS by serving as the driving force behind the school’s performance arts space. Consulting with parents, students and community members, she has designed a space that allows both individuals and groups to pursue their artistic endeavours. While an intermediate teacher, she also works to provide music lessons to secondary students at ADHS by participating in a teacher swap.

Ashleigh Snowdon, teacher: This dedicated intermediate teacher is being cited for an instructional approach that encourages students to work together to solve “real life” math problems. Instead of the traditional teacher-based instruction, Snowdon engages students as a co-learner. She also works to bring educational concepts to life through projectbased learning. With the help of the secondary school’s technology department, she had her students work to develop designs and build model hot tubs, allowing students to learn collaboratively through problem-solving about electricity, water flow, and various materials.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON

Looking back with fondness on the legacy of Max Keeping “He was a very very well known man!”

This will be but only one way in which Max Keeping wilal be referred to in the future. Celebrity, humanitarian, news anchor, fundraiser, character and a “good friend of the people” will no doubt be used as well.

He has been called an “outlaw” (in the sense that certain ‘70s country artists were referred to) and he once stated that he was “honoured” to be ranked amongst them.

For more then 30 years, Max was a fixture on the CTV Ottawa Evening News.

Each night more then 200,000 viewers in Ottawa and the Valley would tune in religiously to see him deliver the news.

In the past, titles such as “Newsline” and “CJOH News” were as much a part of the common everyday language as the terms family farm, lumberjacks, snow and maple syrup.

Max Keeping encompassed all of that and more.

Born in Newfoundland, he came to the Ottawa area during the mid-1960s and

began his broadcasting career on CFRA radio. Shortly thereafter, he moved over to channel 13 (CJOH) and remained there until his retirement.

He credited his longstanding relationship with the late legendary Valley singer/songwriter Mac Beattie as being key to understanding and the basis for the love of the Valley that he came to hold so dearly.

“Mac was a dear friend to me and so much more,” Max shared. “In fact, I’d have to say he was like a father to me and I both loved and respected him dearly. A finer man one would be hard pressed to find.”

“In fact, it might well have been Mac that first called me a Newfie Cowboy and I’m proud of that term as well,” he added.

During the years he has been a celebrity, Max has been involved with numerous causes and in extensive charity fundraising activities. The list goes on and on but it’s suffice to say that he never turned his back on a good cause.

He did this because he felt it was his

It is well known that he suffered many battles with cancer but he always kept up the good fight and was a positive force to be dealt with. Many rode the “train of hope” and found their inner faith and strength along with him and through him. He just had that kind of impact on people.

LyLe diLLabough I didn’t know that he knew who I was, or anything about me, until I interviewed responsibility as a public figure to use his him the first time. Then I found out that name and popularity to serve others and he knew just about everything. And from the community as a whole. “If we don’t that time on we became sort of a silent reach out to those in need, then we have failed in our roles as people, journalists, celebrities, or whatever,” he said.

In an interview he shared (that as well Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind as being an avid country music fan) he was also one serious “metalhead” and has launched a raffle for a WestJet Gift loves groups such as Metallica, Deep of Flight. You can win a return trip for two people to any schedule WestJet desPurple and Ozzy Osbourne.

“I told my granddaughter that one had tination, including all taxes and fees.

A maximum of 705 tickets will be to ‘experience’ them once and then see them again to ‘remember’ them,” he said sold. Cost is $20 per ticket. The draw will take place on Dec. 18. The prize with a huge laugh.

“Everyday is a gift from God and we of a Gift of Flight has been donated by all need to see it that way,” he explained. WestJet with 100 per cent of the pro-

cheering section for each other. He often sent a crew out to cover some fundraising event that I might be involved with and always helped us in getting much needed publicity.

However, the thing that amazes me most about the man was his incredible popularity and the magnetism he had with people. He was just one of those rare persons who possessed that quality.

No better a person to possess this quality then someone such as him; a rare find indeed. And a great one at that!

UCDSB earns healthy workplace award The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) was honoured Oct. 29 as a shining example of a healthy workplace.

On behalf of the board, UCDSB staff received the Canada Awards for Excellence Healthy Workplace Platinum Award for its health, wellness and safety programs during the Performance Excellence Summit and Canada Awards for Excellence at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto. The UCDSB will be the first school board in Canada to receive the award.

The trophy, presented by Excellence Canada, honours the board for quality programs that care for the physical and psychological health and safety of its employees and which help them achieve and maintain exemplary health.

The award comes after an extensive review by Excellence Canada of all UCDSB health, wellness and safety programming. The board qualified due to its sound systemic approach to sustaining a healthy workplace, its atmosphere of continuous improvement, and its data-driven approach demonstrating sustained positive improvements in all areas of health and safety programming.

“I am extremely pleased,” added Penny Raabe, a compensation and wellness specialist with the board.

“This prestigious award is tangible evidence of our organization’s level of excellence.

Raabe gave credit for the honour to the late Linda Billing, former manager of employee services, who led UCDSB efforts to gain bronze, silver and gold certifications under the Excellence Canada program, and whose foundational work helped the board achieve platinum status.

Submitted by Mark Calder, communications officer, Upper Canada District School Board.

Last Witch Hunter earns Warm turkey rice salad an ‘A’ with a ‘B’ movie plot makes a great lunch or dinner MOVIE: The Last Witch Hunter STARRING: Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie, Elijah Wood, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Julie Engelbrect and Michael Caine DIRECTOR: Breck Eisner RATING: PG-13

The Last Witch Hunter is the kind of modern day sword and sorcery you’d expect to see on Space late at night with a great big giant ‘B’ stamped all over it.

Yet this is the best ‘B’ movie I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe ever.

Eight hundred years ago Kaulder (Vin Diesel) and a group of warriors set out to destroy the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrect).

Kaulder came face to face with the supernatural terror, and defeated her. On the brink of death the Queen lashed out, and with her last strength cursed Kaulder with eternal life.

Kaulder has spent his immortality protecting humanity from witches alongside a secret religious organization called The Axe and Cross. Today, in the present, there’s a truce between humanity and witch kind.

Kaulder works to keep the peace acting more like a police officer

My Take

Mark haskins

than a warrior.

All that changes when Kaulder’s watcher and chronicler, the 36th Dolan (Michael Caine), is attacked. The Axe and Cross always has a Dolan with Kaulder to guide and protect him. The current Dolan was set to retire when he was attacked, which is a coincidence Kaulder and the 37th Dolan (Elijah Wood) can’t ignore.

A witch calling himself Belail (Olafur Darri Olafsson) is seeking to resurrect the Witch Queen.

It falls to Kaulder, along with a young witch named Chloe (Rose Leslie), and the 37th Dolan to stop him. If they fail the Witch Queen will destroy humanity.

It’s no secret that Vin Diesel is a huge Dungeons and Dragons fan. He’s been wanting to do a D&D movie for a long time, and while those plans have never come to fruition it looks like The Last Witch Hunter is it. This

film feels a lot like a D&D campaign, but more than that it’s a good fantasy film. The story is a classic battle of good versus evil.

The action is fantastic allowing Vin to do what he does best.

The effects bring a startling and unique vision of evil to life. Each element is just really well done.

The cast is surprising. Michael Caine is not someone I’d expect to see in this kind of fantasy film.

Yet having a talent like Caine can only make your film better, which it does, and he has great chemistry with Diesel. Much the same can be said for Elijah Wood as the 37th Dolan. Then there are the relative newcomers Olafur Darri Olafsson, Rose Leslie, and Julie Engelbrect who are great.

Vin Diesel has made a career out of playing the brooding hero, and this brooding hero is one of his best. I really like this character. I really like Diesel as this character, and I hope he manages to make two or three of these films.

The Last Witch Hunter may be a ‘B’ movie plot, but everything else is an A. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Industry magazine survey lists most and least dependable for 2015 Some interesting news in the automotive industry has cropped up in the last few weeks.

Consumers Report released their 2015 Auto Reliability Survey and while it found the usual contenders at the top and suspects at the bottom, there were some surprising results. Their survey is based not only on their own testing (Consumers buys and owns all the vehicles they test) but from feedback from almost 750,000 subscribers on problems encountered during the ďŹ rst three years of ownership.

The top ďŹ ve makes were Lexus, Toyota, Audi, Mazda, and Subaru and the bottom ďŹ ve were InďŹ niti, Cadillac, Ram, Jeep and Fiat. The Tesla S luxury sports electric sedan lost its Consumers Report recommended status due to what CR deemed to be an excessive amount of owner reported problems. Interestingly enough, a survey of current Tesla S owners found that 97 per cent would buy another one.

Chevrolet seems to be bucking the trend of consumer interest trailing away from electric vehicles that have plagued other automakers due to relatively low gasoline prices in 2015. They recently announced the addition of a second shift to the product plant

that produces the extended-range Volt as well as the Cadillac ETR due to increased demand.

Chevrolet and the Roush family of companies have teamed up to ďŹ ll a veriďŹ ed market need.

Roush, better known for armoured vehicle design and creation, has taken stock Chevrolet Spark subcompacts and modiďŹ ed them for Dominos Pizza for delivery vehicles. They come equipped with a large warming oven and an interior capacity to hold up to 80 pizzas. Dominos franchise owners in the US can purchase the Spark DXP (Delivery Expert) for $20,000-$25,000.

Just in time for football season.

If any one car company could be labeled as a die-hard fan of the Back to the Future movie franchise, it would have to be Toyota.

First, earlier this year, the design and engineering team at Toyota’s luxury make Lexus, came out with a fully functioning hoverboard (it needs a steel or iron plated surface to hover on). It looks remarkably identical to the toy that Michael J. Fox’s character in the movies uses to escape a number of perilous situations and took more than a little effort and resources to bring to life.

Now they have created a series of TV spots and short online

Auto Know

Brian turner

videos to promote their hydrogen fuel-cell powered Mirai. Toyota launched production models of the Mirai in Japan at the end of last year and has committed to enter the US and European markets soon. In their ads and videos Toyota enlisted both Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd (co-stars of all three Back to the Future ďŹ lms) to ponder what technologies from their movies actually made it into reality.

Check out the various versions on YouTube.

Broken or defective, who decides? One of the most common sources of service-counter friction between customers and dealership service personnel is the broken/defective warranty debate. This mostly involves trim items but even these can get expensive to repair or replace.

Consumers can basically be sorted into two camps on this issue. The ďŹ rst will readily admit it was their fault and ask for a repair estimate and the latter will

insist that the car manufacturer should be responsible for anything that breaks or fails within the warranty period. However it’s the dealership’s job to determine whether a part failed from a manufacturing defect or from an excessive or improper use of the component. This can be a ďŹ ne line to toe.

Dealerships are required under their franchise agreements to operate in a manner that is responsible to both the car company they represent and their customers. If their warranty expenses rise too high as a result of claiming anything and everything, they can be subjected to a very harsh audit and chargeback of questionable claims. On the other side of the

coin, if they never give their customers the beneďŹ t of the doubt from time to time, they will lose business.

Best advice; be honest and upfront at the counter and if your dog chewed through a $400 seatbelt, or one of the tribe broke a seat handle with a hockey stick, get out the credit card and be prepared to pay.

1975 Pontiac Ventura with a Cadillac 500 V8 the result of years of work Peter Phillips of Mississauga, Ont., purchased a 1975 Pontiac Ventura in 1991 from its original owner to be his wife’s daily driver. Two years later, he had to fix some things.

Once he started, he couldn’t stop and the car is now completely rebuilt into its present state.

“Not only is it a ‘dare to be different’ car, it’s a ‘low-buck’ car too. Sheet metal was repaired or replaced including stock. To economize, I painted it in my I had to buy. full rear quarters but many other pieces garage. When it was done, I still have “Then I drove it for a year or two but were made from ordinary sheet metal the air compressor and spray equipment it’s hard to drive a screaming red car

and not be challenged on the street – and with a 231 V6, it was embarrassing.

So I started looking for a big cube V8.

Big block Chevies were too expensive and 455 Buick Olds and Pontiacs were almost as bad. Then I read about the big 500 cubic inch Caddy motors. Get one out of an Eldorado with the rear sump pan and I’d have 500 ft. lbs. of torque.

A donor car was found and the swap began.

“It’s not an easy swap. Motor mounts have to be fabricated, exhaust headers are made from modified BBC headers, suspension needs to be altered in a couple of places, steering shaft pushed to the outside and all the other bits and pieces that need to be fabbed for any engine swap. An aluminum rad and electric fan do the cooling.

“The engine has been completely rebuilt with Comp Cams cam, springs and lifters, Edelbrock intake and a few subtle distributor and carb changes. A ram air/cold air intake system was purchased from Spectre. The air intakes under the front bumpers are home made. I didn’t

want to cut the hood for a hood scoop. A B&M ratchet shifter changes the gears, homemade frame connectors tie the sub frames together, and a drive shaft loop in case I break it. I estimate the power somewhere in the mid to high 400s for hp but the torque is well above 500 ft. lbs. now.

“The interior was completely redone and appears stock with original bench seat. It rides on BF Goodrich radial T/ As and US Steel 5 spoke rims.

“Many times while doing this car, I wondered why. It’s not an SS or GTO, just a Ventura. But with Caddy power it gets attention at car shows. Plus I’m no longer embarrassed by lack of horsepower. The car is an absolute blast to d rive!”

I’m always looking for more stories.

ENERGY $AVING$!

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

South Elmsley Club 55 marks three decades of fellowship Stacey Roy

munity causes, including a high school bursary, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), an area camp and the local hospital. Just two months ago Club 55 donated $1,000 towards the new x-ray machine at the Smiths Falls hospital site.

“We do give a lot of donations,” Tetreault said.

This year, the club plans to participate in the hall’s annual angel tree program.

Any future donations will be made after the club pays its $450 annual fee for use of the township hall. The 2016 year will be the first time the club has been asked to pay for the use of the hall, however Tetreault said the township has allowed them to continue using the hall for their euchre fundraisers at no charge.

Without new and younger members

sroy@perfprint.ca

Club 55 in South Elmsley (Rideau Lakes) is marking its 30th anniversary year with a strong focus on growing its membership base to ensure the social group will continue serving its members and the community for another three decades.

“We’re losing members; we need new members,” said Madeleine Tetreault, president of Club 55.

At one time the club welcomed 100 members to its regular weekly activities at the township office on Hwy. 15 where today the membership stands at about 50 members for a variety of reasons.

“Young people are not joining,” adds Rose Coyne, a 28-year club member.

“They’re too busy.”

Coyne joined the club a few years after moving here with her husband from Ottawa. Having known very few people in the area at the time, Coyne was glad to have an instant circle of peers with which to attend day trips, play cards and enjoy a delicious meal with.

“We’ve enjoyed it,” she said.

Anyone interested in learning more about the club, its monthly pot luck suppers and many events held throughout the year, is encouraged to come out to the Christmas pot luck. The 5 p.m. gatherings take place the third Tuesday of every month. Admission to this country Christmas meal with all the trimmings is $20.

“If you’re not a member that’s fine, come and see what we do,” Tetreault said.

The club held their 30th anniversary pot luck on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2015 where many club members came out to enjoy a

She spent 20 years volunteering to help the club with their financial reporting in various capacities. She recalls when the club opened in 1985 at the Lombardy township hall. It wasn’t until 1995 that the group moved to its current location at the township hall on Hwy 15.

“We’ve been able to have more things going on once we moved to the larger hall,” Coyne said.

At the time of the hall’s opening, Club 55 donated a piano and dishes to its new home as a way to celebrate its opening in

the community.

The club’s regular euchre games, held Mondays each week, is the largest fundraiser the club holds today. The club uses these funds coupled with the $10 annual membership fee to support many com-

coming in to support the club’s efforts and assist in planning events to raise the ongoing funds needed to continue operating and supporting their causes of choice, Club 55 will continue to see their numbers dwindle.

“A lot of them [members] are late 80s early 90s,” Tetreault said.

Upcoming fundraiser Card players will have an opportunity to come out and support Club 55 and their charities. The Waterside Retirement Suites in Carleton Place has offered to host an afternoon of cards in support of South Elmsley Club 55. The event will take place Jan. 28, 2016 at 105 McNeely Avenue (Carleton Place) from 1-4 p.m.

Entrance fee is $5 and light refreshments will be served. To reserve a seat please call Patty at 613-253-2010.

They are able to do so thanks to the volunteer efforts of many club members like Coyne and Dorothy Covell, who has also been a club member from its early days. Covell spent 25 years organizing the euchre games for the club. For her, the creation of Club 55 came at a time when she was very lonely and needing a social outlet after her husband died the year before the club launched.

“I felt the club gave a lot to me,” Covell added of her time with them. “I’ve enjoyed every minute.”

In years past Club 55 has hosted the Ontario Senior Games and a United Seniors Citizens gathering. The club is one of 1,000 who are members of the United Seniors Citizens organization, which lobby’s the government on key issues such as long term care and nursing.

“We’re lucky to have them,” remarked Coyne.

Anyone who is interested in learning more about the club is welcome to come out to one of their events. Euchre takes place every Monday followed by carpet bowling on Tuesdays and their regular pot luck is the third Tuesday of the month at 5 p.m.

The red wave that swept Canada Oct. 19 has Bruce Linton, CEO of Tweed thinking green.

“It’s a very interesting historical event,” Linton said.

In media interviews leading up to the Oct. 19 election, Trudeau made it clear that he wanted to begin work on legalizing the recreational use of marijuana shortly after accepting the office of Prime Minister later this year. Using marijuana for medical reasons has been legal in Canada for 15 years.

For Tweed, Canada’s largest medicinal marijuana company based out of Smiths Falls, Trudeau’s commitment to address recreational use translates into an opportunity to enlarge an already healthy customer base.

“I have the potential to have a lot more customers,” Linton said.

The only questions that remain are: how will it be dispensed and how will it be taxed? These answers will come from the efforts of

Trudeau’s working group on this topic.

Linton said he doesn’t expect anything to roll out to the business community for another year. At that time, another corporate opportunity may be born when the distribution model is made public. When asked if Tweed would consider getting into this end of the business, Linton responded: “I’m not saying we won’t.”

The successful company is focusing on the current opportunities that are known, and are keen to add the recreational adult customers into its existing medicinal marijuana business model, adding the two customers will certainly be distinct markets.

“Ultimately, the medicinal users will probably have more of an interest in dosage and control,” Linton said.

Tweed currently operates three facilities with production capabilities that provide 500,000 square feet of combined grow space.

“I think we’ll be able to meet the demand,” Linton said of the new market.

GH METALS From front page

ber said Tuesday morning that a statement will be issued by the end of this week.

Hicks has been an active businessman in Smiths Falls for many years, serving as president of the Smiths Falls and District Chamber of Commerce in 2010.

GH Metals was established in 1992 when Hicks acquired Russ Beach’s mailbox pro-

duction division from the former Beach Industries of Smiths Falls. Over the years, the company has supplied mailboxes to over 40 countries worldwide and is the largest supplier of lobby postal boxes in Canada. GH Metals had also diversified its product catalogue to include toolboxes, bolt bins, storage cabinets and ammunition lockers, to name a few items.

Judge to rule on Huddleston case Nov. 17 in Smiths Falls court Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

File photo

The case of theft involving Gerry Huddleston, former town councillor in Smiths Falls will be ruled on Nov. 17 in Smiths Falls. dleston went to BMO to make the deposit to bank teller Jonathan MacArthur. “(MacArthur) dealt with three separate deposits of cash and cheques from inside the bank book in the blue satchel… there’s no evidence (the $4,000 was there) from the size of the deposit.”

He said Wright should take into account Huddleston’s “stellar community representation” when making his decision. “…He (Huddleston) has a career reputation of success, trust and honesty,” said Rogers, pointing out that former Almonte Shoppers Drug Mart owner Tommy Lam travelled from Mississauga on crutches to testify on his behalf. “…He’s the victim.”

Instead, he placed the blame of the missing $4,000 on “fundamental problems with the hospital foundation’s procedures,” in particular, their accounting and receipting processes. “There is a theory of assumption and circumstantial evidence from Carolyn Piche by the Crown,” Rogers said.

“There’s evidence of poor communication between Carolyn Piche and Gerry Huddleston…but even neglectful behaviour is not a criminal offence. It’s not a criminal offence to be incompetent.”

He also disputed that there’s no evidence to sup-

than pen,” he stated. “She is either telling you the truth, that she had nothing to do with this, or she’s a criminal genius who is pointing the finger at herself to throw you off the trail. Respectfully, your Honour, it’s a good plot for a TV show, but not a rational conclusion or inference that can be driven from the evidence.”

He acknowledged Huddleston’s presence in the community by the support seen in the courtroom over the four-day trial.

“Obviously he’s a very well-liked and admired individual and that is a factor for your Honour when assessing his credibility, but it’s only one factor…the fact that he has that credibility does not mean he should be acquitted,” he stated.

He noted that based on the evidence “remarkable coincidences” started to pile up against Huddleston, including the fact he went to see an employment lawyer in summer 2014 in an effort to make a case for the hospital to give him a raise in pay. Huddleston said he wasn’t unhappy at work, but testimony by Robyn Arseneau, Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation fundraising manager, and Wendy Knechtel, Arnprior & Memorial Hospital Foundation manager of communication and fund development, said otherwise.

“He had gone to see an employment lawyer so he was really taking it to the next step. If he was unhappy at work, fine, but he refuses to admit it,” Corbella said. “That should be a concern.”

Corbella charged the Sept. 2 document was altered in order to shift attention from Huddleston.

The original altered Sept. 12 deposit record never surfaced, and the only copy is the one Keil made at BMO.

The fate of Gerry Huddleston’s case now rests with Justice Peter Wright.

After four full days of testimony, the Crown and defence presented their final summations Oct. 22 at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth. Wright will present his ruling on the case on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 9:30 a.m. at the Smiths Falls court.

Former Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor (AGH-FVM) Foundation executive director Huddleston is charged with theft of $4,000 from the hospital foundation as well as knowingly attempting to pass off a forged deposit record as though it were genuine to Theresa Keil of the Almonte branch of the Bank of Montreal (BMO). The funds were proceeds from the Almonte Shoppers Drug Mart’s Air Canada gift card raffle, which the retail outlet organized as part of a commitment as title sponsor of the Sept. 6, 2014 Mississippi Mills River Run. In his summation, Huddleston’s defence lawyer, Craig Rogers, noted his client pleaded not guilty and has “adamantly maintained he did not commit either of these offences.” “His position on this has never changed; it’s never been altered. He did not take that money,” Rogers said, adding that Huddleston voluntarily attended the Carleton Place Ontario Provincial Police detachment on Oct. 29, 2014 to speak with Detective Thomas Kohls to get to the bottom of the matter.

Based on testimony during the trial, Rogers indicated most of which is circumstantial, the judge must be sure beyond a reasonable doubt of Huddleston’s guilt. “There is no evidence the deposit satchel was opened by Carolyn Piche (AGH-FVM Foundation development co-ordinator) or by Gerry Huddleston on Sept. 3 (2014) to confirm the contents,” he stressed. “…There’s doubt as to whether that $4,000 was in the deposit satchel at the moment Gerry Huddleston came into contact with it, whether he picked it up from Miss Piche’s window or took it from the canister in his office and took it to the bank. There is no evidence it (satchel) was ever checked by any hospital foundation members…”

“The decision should be based on the relevant evidence, not unproven theories and wild speculation,” Rogers added. “…If it (money) does not leave the hospital, it does not get to the bank and there’s no direct evidence,” he continued.

Rogers noted further evidence to make the case the $4,000 wasn’t in the satchel is when Hud-

port that Huddleston wouldn’t jeopardize his career for $4,000 or mishandle funds to get let go and access a severance package. “The man earns $104,000 a year…that he would take $4,000 in cash which is traceable, makes no sense,” Rogers said. “Was the foundation office shoddy or irresponsible in their duties? Yes.” Crown attorney Robert Corbella admitted that much of his case was based on circumstantial evidence “but the only rational conclusion or inference that can be drawn from the evidence as a whole is the fact that he is guilty,” he said.

Corbella said there’s no rational reason to believe the $4,000 just “vanished into thin air.” He asked the judge to carefully consider the testimony given by Piche, the Crown’s star witness in the case. He said there’s “no doubt” Eric Plunkett, Almonte Shoppers Drug Mart store manager, brought the funds in question to Piche’s office on Sept. 2, 2014 and was issued a receipt on the envelope the money was in and that a deposit record for that same date, had been prepared by Piche.

“The key to her credibility is that Miss Piche is a decent person,” Corbella said adding there was “no rational or logical reason to believe the money was not in that satchel…”

“Miss Piche testified in a very direct, straightforward manner and there’s nothing to contradict her. Her conduct throughout this incident was consistent with someone trying to do their job and track down the money,” he stated.

Responding to the idea of whether Piche could have altered the Sept. 2 document to read Sept. 12, Corbella said it makes little sense.

“Why would she use a pen? We have clear evidence she easily could have altered the document electronically and it would be easier to pass off

Council moves forward with staff restructuring Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Plans to retire five jobs in favour of creating five more were supported by council last week as part of the municipality’s strategic review process.

Malcolm Morris, who presented the report at the Oct. 13 committee meeting, recommended the move, which was ultimately passed at a special council session held later that night. The new positions will

“He (Huddleston) didn’t want anybody to know about it. He doesn’t know a copy had been made. He thinks he’s deep sixed it,” he stated.

“Mr. Huddleston thought his reputation would save him,” Corbella continued.

“He thought he could talk his way out of it and he may have thought he would get the early (retirement) package he had hoped for and he miscalculated greatly.”

Day four Earlier on Oct. 21, the Crown had an attempt to cross-examine

come into effect Nov. 2, 2015.

Overall, Morris noted the restructuring will “make sure we can achieve the things that Council would like us to achieve.”

The decision will see the appointment of an interim treasurer (Janet Koziel), a human resources advisor (Lynda McKimm), administrative co-ordinator (Kim Mulrooney) and a supervisor of public works (Jason Dalgleish) from within the current staff. The appointments will mean a $25,914

increase in salaries annually, which the report says could be defrayed by performing engineering functions in-house and finding other efficiencies that have yet to be identified.

The fifth position – director of public works and utilities, will be recruited by human resources firm Krecklo Executive Search at a cost of $12,000. Morris noted this cost can be absorbed in the 2015 budget from salary savings, but Coun.

Joe Gallipeau and mayor Shawn

Pankow voiced concern with taking this route after the failed attempt in using a headhunter to hire an economic development officer.

“I didn’t think it worked that well,” Gallipeau added. “I think that we should post it first and try to do something on our own.”

The majority of council approved the decision to hire Krecklo Executive Search given the length of discussion had in-camera about

Huddleston, who claimed he didn’t authorize Piche to collect funds from Shoppers Drug Mart on Sept. 12, 2014 and during the Oct. 29, 2014 police interview transcript his answer had been “possibly.” Corbella wondered why Piche would send an email to Huddleston Sept. 15, 2014 to notify him of the deposit and question the still missing $4,000 funds, if he hadn’t sent her to the bank Sept. 12.

Corbella asked why, after the $4,000 went missing on Sept. 3, Huddleston didn’t look into the matter until Sept. 22, despite repeated urgings from Piche.

“You didn’t go racing back down to the bank. You certainly could have,” Corbella said.

“No, I didn’t,” Huddleston answered. “…I felt that any money that should have been deposited should have still been in the office.” “It was a busy time, sir,” he added.

The defence also called Knechtel, who brought Crown witness Arseneau’s Oct. 15 testimony into question. Arseneau claimed during a July 2014 lunch with Knechtel and Huddleston in Almonte, that Huddleston wished to retire early and had mentioned his intention to misuse foundation funds in order to be let go and receive a severance package.

“I just fail to believe we would have had a conversation about mishandling funds…I’m pretty

confident it wasn’t said,” Knechtel stated, noting that Huddleston had talked about his desire to retire soon.

Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital’s Cathy Durant and former AGH-FVM development coordinator Chris Must, also took the stand for the defence.

Both went over proper practices when accepting donors’ funds at the AGH-FVM Foundation and Huddleston’s former position as executive director of the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation.

Other witnesses to be called by the defence were dropped when the Crown continued to object issues of relevance.

THANK YOU!

I want to thank the voters in the new electoral district of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston for giving me a sixth mandate to serve as their representative in the House of Commons.

The election campaign is over and, for the 338 MPs elected to the 42nd Parliament, the business of governing the nation now begins. With each new election, all MPs---both new and old---have to be prepared to adjust to changes in government, changes in riding boundaries, and changes in the political issues that dominate the news. Representing all residents of this riding, regardless of how they voted in the election, will be my top priority in the coming months.

From Kingston in the south end of this riding to Pakenham in the north, I hope you will always feel my door is open, and that you will always be aware that my staff is eager to help you with any government issue.

Sincerely, Scott Reid

Next was a renovation project in 2002. All the books had to be moved.

“Volunteers and staff boxed the entire collection,” said Schecter.

Her love of books and art drove her to share her passion, in many ways outside the library, with the residents of Smiths Falls.

Schecter received a special plaque as well as a ceramic piece from Jane Conley of Conley Pots.

The Joyce Brennan Award is named after the late Joyce Brennan who was a founding member of the Rideau Canal Museum Board and the Heritage House Museum.

She was also a town councillor and a founding member of the SFDACC.

Schecter said she was thrilled with the award. “I was surprised,” she said, “I did not know that I had been nominated.

This means a lot to me because I remember Joyce Brennan. She was very supportive to me when I came here. She had lots of advice for me about the library. That really makes this special to me.”

When Schecter came to the Smiths Falls Public Library in 1987 there was much to be done. The books at the library had yet to be digitally indexed. That was the first job to be done. “We had to get the collection on the computer and had to put barcodes on everything,” re-

Council asks province to not privatize Hydro One 3.4 per cent increase on their total bill.

Brennan called utility bills like hydro a burden for taxpayers, adding, “I hope we can keep this in mind at budget time when we talk about water.”

Last January, council supported a 10 per cent increase on both the base and consumption water rate in town in a bid to inch closer to selfsustainability of the water system.

At that time, the rate would have had to increase another 20 per cent in water and 25 per cent in waste water rates to become self-sustainable.

The town’s resolution comes after an Oct. 13 delegation by Dave Lundy who represented the Citizen

If a resolution coming forward to next week’s council session is approved, Smiths Falls will be the most recent community to ask as Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne to back away from selling 60 per cent of the province’s Hydro One interests to generate $4 billion for infrastructure.

“I think it’s timely,” said Coun.

Jay Brennan. “We should add our name to that.”

He’s referring to the Oct. 15 announcement that Hydro One will be increasing its prices as of Nov. 1. As of this date households who consume 800 kWh will see a

Coalition Against Privatization group who urged the town to join Perth and Lanark County in asking for a stop to the privatization.

“Once it’s gone you can’t bring it back,” Lundy said.

Mayor Shawn Pankow questioned whether the decision to sell 60 per cent of the province’s interest in Hydro One has already reached a point of no return, to which Lundy replied: “I believe that there is hope. I believe that she will respond to public pressure.”

He noted the government in New Brunswick also attempted to do something similar but stopped short when over 90 per cent of the public opposed. He added, Mike Harris did the same thing in On-

tario in the 1990s when the former premier broke Hydro One into five parts before 91 per cent of the population demanded a stop.

In addition to concerns over the stability of the service and that impact on the economy, Lundy foresees significant rate increases in the order of 30 per cent if private interests take the reins.

“It’s a mess and it makes electricity more unaffordable,” Lundy said.

Coun. Joe Gallipeau noted his hydro has gone up substantially over the last few years under the publicly held model.

“I question how we’re going to get cheaper hydro unless we make some changes,” Gallipeau said.

this topic and with an eye to preparing the town to deal with future development.

The new director of public works and utilities position will bring in the engineering and waste management departments in an effort to run more effectively. The chosen individual will be an engineer so that specific planning documents can be created in-house. Morris explained staff hopes to have this position filled by early December to give public works and utilities more manpower going into the winter season.

Coun. Dawn Quinn noted there are two additional retirements taking place in this department in the relatively short term. This coupled with the feeling that town staff should be prepared in the event another frozen pipe situation pres-

ents itself this winter has left the municipality feeling that a professional hiring firm was the way to go.

“If we have a winter like we had last winter we could have major issues,” Quinn said.

Morris noted the task of hiring a senior position may be more of a learning curve than the appointed human resources co-ordinator should have just days into her new role.

Coun. Joe Gallipeau asked for the other in-house quotes gathered to ensure “we’re getting the best deal,” Gallipeau said.

This information should be coming to councillors by the end of this week so they can decide at next week’s council session if they will move forward with the agreement renewal with Dell or not.

The agreement is valued at $40,000 a year.

This is an expansion to the previously approved three annual tolls and one rotating toll council agreed to recently. The town will maintain a fifth rotating toll to be decided each year.

Remember When

Vacation is never long enough

fter three weeks of vacation, I’m back in the saddle. Not sure how long I can sit it in though.

These past few weeks have been nothing short of painful. Sciatic nerve issues have dragged me under.

My guy and I had planned to drive to Newfoundland. We were scheduled for a three-week road trip that we’d been looking forward to for over a year. It was not meant to be as he and I both were stricken with the debilitating nerve pain.

Not too conducive to extensive road trips. He’s been having a go of it for about six months, finding minimal relieve from prescription pain medications and anti-inflammatory drugs.

I decided to go another route – chiropractic care, and a shot of intensive massage therapy, with an OTC medication. It’s getting there, slowly but surely, I hope to be back to normal (whatever that is) soon.

LAURIE WEIR Weir View years of coming up short. (A familiar feeling for Leafs’ fans, too.) In August I ordered a hoodie. As luck would have it, three arrived. At first I was peeved at myself for not checking my order before submitting it, but then I realized I could hold off on laundry just a little bit longer.

I just wish the boys could have held off those pesky Royals.

Good luck to KC in the World Series. It’s Toronto’s turn on the October dance floor in 2016.

New addition meltdown We have debated adding a pooch to our household of four – which includes two cats right now – and were all set to get our little bundle of joy on Saturday.

We had gone looking at the litter of puppies in August when the seven babies were just a week old. A handshake and a promise were enough to hold the runt of the litter (since my guy knew the fellow, albeit casually), we said we’d be back to pick her up at the eight-week mark. They were fine with the arrangement.

Saturday morning, I went into Perth to my favourite pet store, and Laura Jane was helpful getting me set up for the wee babe.

That afternoon, we drove about 20 minutes away to get the puppy, but no one was home. Leaving a note on their door, we trusted they’d be in touch. We did a return trip on Sunday.

A van was parked in the driveway, and we could hear the dogs barking. No one answered the door. They never did call us. I sent her emails – still no response. The least they could have done was let us know what was going on with the puppies.

It’s been four days – still nothing from the dog owners.

All I can say is beware of backyard breeders who are out to make a buck. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Who can get a Labrador retriever for $300 these days? Especially when the dad looked more like a hound dog than a Lab. In hindsight, it was probably a good thing – there is a puppy in a local shelter who is waiting patiently for us to find her.

and MPP. My name is John Kenny and I have lived in Canada since May, 1955. My parents brought me here at three years old from Dublin, Ireland.

We were all new immigrants to Canada.

What I did not know was my parents never registered me as a Canadian. It was a shock for me to find out that the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care will not give me another health card because they say I am not a

Canadian citizen. This is a matter that has caused me great stress and hardship the last few years since I first had health problems in 2013 until this present moment. I would appreciate your urgent advocacy in this matter.

I’ve lived in Canada for 60 years and have contributed to my community and am now retired. I worked for Canadian Pacific Railway for 40 years. I raised a family here and all my children are Canadian.

I applied for permanent residency in March 2015. I’ve seen a lawyer and

the speaker, and ends with, what I feel, is a clever maligning of Tom Bourne the school’s principle quoting him as saying, “today we got some light shone on us about science. I know I learned some things.”

If you think Christians are so old fashioned, unscientific in our beliefs why not just leave us out of your paper instead?

at great personal expense continue to deal with a broken immigration system that has made me feel like less than my neighbours and has taken away my right to call myself Canadian. It is not right that this situation exists and I request that it be considered by you both as a priority. It is further an injustice that I have had to apply for permanent residency when I have in fact been a resident of Canada for 60 years, contributed to a pension plan, raised children and continue to live in the town of Smiths Falls as a pensioner. Is there

not any common sense with our immigration system? They could have checked to see that I have contributed for over 40 years to the Canada pension plan. Why have they left me in this position and taken my rights away without a reasonable solution and time frame to fix this problem?

I would appreciate your urgent attention to this matter.

DEAR EDITOR:

With the passage of Ontario’s new CO law – The Hawkins-Gignac Act – the Smiths Falls Fire Department is relieved, knowing that Smiths Falls citizens are now much less likely to experience the types of tragedy that can result from exposure to ‘The Silent Killer’.

In 2008, John Gignac lost his niece Laurie, her husband Richard and their children Cassie and Jordan to carbon monoxide poisoning. The vent leading from their gas fireplace was clogged so the deadly gas seeped back into their home. They didn’t know they were in danger because CO gas is colourless, odorless and tasteless.

Now, no matter the age of a home, if it has oil, propane or gas burning appliances, furnace or water heater, a wood or gas fireplace, or an attached garage it must have working carbon monoxide alarms installed near sleeping areas.

Also, CO alarms are required by law to be replaced within the timeframe indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions and/or on the label on the unit.

Sincerely, Randy Normandin, Fire Prevention Officer, SFFD

Since when is “prevailing scientific thought” scientific? In a day and age when kids are all told, “you can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you believe”, but as long as it’s not about creationism?

Just because “everyone’s doing it”, doesn’t make it right does it? Look throughout history when this idea of ‘prevailing thought’ was NOT very scientific. E.g. Victorian times when everyone thought an 18-inch waist was ideal, including removing ribs.

The 2016 Smiths Falls budget discussions will begin in two parts next year: the first when a preliminary report is delivered to councillors this coming January with a budget based on existing services and operating structures, and the second following the receipt of multiple planning documents later in February and March.

There was a lot of debate over the value of receiving a preliminary budget report prior to digesting the anticipated Service Sustainability Review and longterm financial plan recommendations, but politicians accepted the suggestion made by Malcolm Morris, CAO who felt the preliminary budget will help demonstrate the value of the service review process.

“It does provide you a point of reference” highlighting the reality before service review decisions are implemented, Morris said.

While not foretelling the results of the lengthy service review process, Morris did expect the early 2016 document would trigger large-scale policy decisions and alter the upcoming budget document.

“Arguably, a big portion,” Morris said.

Coun. Jay Brennan supported receiving a draft budget in January ahead of the finished plans recognizing that the process of making a decision and then implementing it could take the town well into next year.

“Some of the stuff that’s going to come out of it is going to be something that we’ll want to talk to taxpayers about,” Brennan said.

Mayor Shawn Pankow said he will receive the draft budget in January, but won’t be prepared to make any decisions until all information is available.

Many councillors initially felt it best to wait until all information was available in hopes of cutting the budget deliberation process down to a manageable number of meetings. Last year, there was criticism with the number of meetings held.

“I don’t want to have to have the

same conversation over and over again,” coun. Chris Cummings said.

Coun. Lorraine Allen and Pankow agreed, noting staff’s list of outstanding information. There are 13 outstanding items that could impact the 2016 budget process. Among them is an anticipated increase in staff benefits of 25 per cent ($175,000) in 2016 alone. The staff report notes they hope to hire a consultant to look at the town hall’s group plan with an eye to finding cost containment strategies. Other outstanding items include the town’s Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund application for the stone arch bridge, and the anticipated reduction of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund grant.

Coun. Joe Gallipeau supported the preliminary budget being presented ahead of the plans, saying it gives those around the horseshoe a chance to digest the information ahead of considering the service review and financial plans.

He rejected Cummings’ suggested 2016 budget goal of keeping deliberations to two super meetings, saying, “I just think there’s too much on the line to do that.”

Outstanding plans Morris reported that staff met two weeks ago for the initial meeting with Watson and Associates (the firm who has been contracted to complete the long-term financial plan, the service review and the water plant’s financial plan). A full day workshop has been planned with staff for this Wednesday (Oct. 28) where focused discussions on assets in the water and wastewater systems, buildings and vehicles and equipment will be touched on. Morris said the purpose of these workshops is to look at the asset and how it helps the town provide the service. Staff will also be asked to consider what happens if the asset fails.

Morris said the answers to these questions will “help guide our decision making.”

A second workshop will take place in November after which a staff report will come back to committee for information.

The final service review and financial plan findings aren’t due back until the end of January or early February 2016.

It is that time of year again - Halloween. The Smiths Falls Police are concerned about the safety of everyone and have provided some tips to help make this Halloween safer for all.

1. Children should be accompanied by an adult.

2. Children should wear clothing that can easily be seen at night. Retro- reflective materials are best.

3. Children should trick or treat in one well-known area and not wander into unknown neighborhoods.

4. All candy should be inspected by an adult to make sure that no one has

tampered with it. If it looks suspicious, the police should be contacted.

5. Please avoid stray animals.

6. Children should wear masks that do not interfere with vision.

7. Please watch for moving vehicles when crossing streets.

8. Costumes should be short enough to avoid tripping.

9. Everyone should dress appropriately for the weather and carry a flashlight. You can check out these tips and further information at www.sfps.ca.

Keeping kids safe on Halloween

The Worst Place to Carry A Cell Phone Could smart phones be slowly killing us? Some experts feel we’re living in an Alice-in-Wonderland world if we ignore radiation from these electronic devices. So today, here’s an example of what can go wrong.

The Environmental Health Trust’s Newsletter reports an unusual case.

A young woman, with no predisposing risk factors for cancer, made a practical decision. She decided to carry her cell phone in her bra. Today with so many cell phones being Dr. Gifford-Jones snatched from people, I give her top marks for ingenuity and increased security.

Unfortunately, she developed breast cancer. But what shocked doctors was that the pattern of the cancer lined up perfectly with the shape of the cell phone. This single case does not prove that radiation caused the malignancy. But if I were a woman I would not push my luck. I’d sure choose another location to carry my cell phone.

So how serious is this problem? Experts on radiation have warned us for years about “dirty electricity” from cell phones and other electrical appliances. Our homes were originally powered by clean electricity, using a safe frequency of 60 Hertz (Hz). Now, transformers convert 60 Hz to low voltage power for electronic devices. This creates micro surges of electricity that contain up to 2,500 times the energy of a conventional 60 Hz electrical system. In effect, we are subjecting ourselves to dangerous electrical pollution.

Dr. Devra Davis, author of the book, “The Secret History of the War On Cancer”, says that cell phone radiation is not only dangerous, but can be lethal. She claims that the biological impact of cell phones is not related to power, but to the erratic nature of the signal which has an adverse affect on DNA repair.

In May 2010, the World Health Association (WHO), released a 10 year study into cell phone use and cancer rates. WHO recognized a significant correlation between brain cancer and those who used their cell phone, wireless home phone or WIFI for more than 30 minutes daily.

Since everyone, including children, will continue to use cell phones, what can be done to decrease the risk? We can all practice what in Europe is called the “Precautionary Principle” which means using old-fashioned horse sense.

Children are at particular risk since they have thinner skull bones making it easier for cell phone radiation to penetrate deeper into the mid brain. They also face a lifetime exposure which places them at greater risk for parotid and deeper brain tumours.

Ideally, children should avoid the electromagnetic radiation of cell phones, or use them only for an emergency. Parents should also stop the dangerous habit of allowing children to sleep with cell phones under their pillows, subjecting them to radiation for hours at close quarters.

Everyone should turn off cell phones not in use and use the speaker on the phone to keep it away from their ears. Being held just a short distance away can decrease radiation exposure from 1,000 to 10,000 times. Remember that texting with a phone exposes a person to the same amount of radiation as talking on the phone.

So use cell phones like porcupines make love, very, very carefully, as it will take years to know the full extent of the danger.

This means bras are for breasts, not phones. It’s also prudent not to place a cell phone in a shirt pocket over the heart. And if men want to decrease their sperm count, place it in pants pockets.

For years I’ve warned readers about the potential dangers of excessive exposure to X-rays and CT scans. For example, a CT scan of the abdomen produces 500 times more radiation than a single chest X-ray and 1,000 more times than a dental X-ray or bone mineral density test. This is why I’ve urged the government to issue radiation cards so that each person knows their total radiation exposure.

I’m also convinced we cannot ignore the danger of electromagnetic radiation from smart phones. It’s the old story of “Caveat emptor”, let the buyer beware.

Complaint leads to driver

On Oct. 17, Smiths Falls Police received a complaint of an erratic driver headed towards the town on Hwy 43.

Officers intercepted the vehicle and it was stopped in town. The driver of the vehicle was found have a blood-alcohol content in excess of 80 mg. A 44-yearold Smiths Falls man has been charged with Driving Over 80 mg and was released on a Promise to Appear to a future court date.

Traffic stop leads to drug charges On Oct. 24, officers stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation. During the course of their investigation, a quantity of prescription drugs, as well as other illicit drugs, and cash were located. A 28-year-old female from Lanark and a 29-year-old male from Watson’s Corners have each been charged with two counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking. The female was additionally charged with Possession of Property Obtained by Crime.

They were both released on a Promise to Appear and an Undertaking Given to an Officer in Charge to a future court date.

Drinking driver nabbed On Oct. 24 a Smiths Falls police officer was conducting speed enforcement in the area of Queen Street. A driver was stopped for a speeding violation and was found to have consumed alcohol. Breath tests were conducted and the driver was found to have a blood alcohol concentration in excess of 80 mg. He was charged accordingly with Drive Over 80 mg and was released on a Promise to Appear to a future court date.

Stop leads to breach charges On Oct. 25, police had occasion to investigate a suspicious vehicle. Investigation revealed the accused to be on previous release conditions including not to be in Smiths Falls without surety and not to be in presence of anyone with a criminal record. The 59-year-old male occupant was breaching both of the conditions and arrested and charged.

“Year after year, the Holiday Train brings great talent and memorable experiences to families across our network while raising money for local food banks and food shelves,” said E. Hunter Harrison, CP chief executive officer.

“Regardless of circumstances, everyone should have access to healthy, nutritious food. The Holiday Train plays an integral role in broadening the conversation around food and hunger issues across North America.”

Each year, the program encourages people attending the event to bring heart healthy donations. Heart health education and awareness is a tenet of CP’s community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North America.

“CP’s train of lights provides a platform to speak about the needs of North American food banks. This is why we are challenging all our event attendees to reach into their cupboards and donate quality nutritious food items to help raise food for those who need it most this holiday season,” said Katharine Schmidt, executive director, Food Banks Canada.

The two brightly lit trains will kick off in the Montreal area on Nov. 27 and 28 on their way to visit approximately 150 communities.

The Canadian Train travels west across Canada finishing its journey in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia.

Entertainment Holiday Train veteran and award-winning country singer, Kelly Prescott will team up with Devin Cuddy, and CP’s famed Holiday Train band for the three local shows. From the beginning, Cuddy has dedicated himself to getting as close as he could to the source of all the sounds he loved be it rock and roll, country or jazz.

He has been pumping out original music since 2012. Watch out for his new record set to be released sometime this year.

Once the Canadian train completes its journey across the prairies and arrives in Calgary, Devin Cuddy will reunite with his father, Canadian song-writing legend Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo and continue the trip with Kelly and the band until they reach the west coast.

The online schedule is now live at www.cpr. ca/holiday-train.

Photo contest Each year, fans of the Holiday Train follow its journey over social media, posting spectacular images of the trains in various cities and landscapes. Those who capture the spirit of the train, holiday entertainment and the spirit of giving are encouraged to enter the Capture the Spirit photo contest for a chance to win an exclusive ride on next year’s train. Details about the contest will be available closer to the start of the program on the Holiday Train Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/holidaytrain.

To help make this year the best yet for local food banks, the Holiday Train asks fans new and old to follow the train on social media, invite their friends and family and spread the message about the importance of heart-healthy donations by using the hashtag #HealthyDonations.

Since its launch in 1999, the Holiday Train has raised more than C$10.6 million and 3.6 million pounds of food for North American food banks and shelves.

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 may prefer to be in control of your fate, but you may have to relinquish some control to someone else for the time being. It can be an eye-opening situation.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you have high hopes of solidifying a relationship this week and things will go according to plan so long as you stay focused. Enjoy the fruits of your labors.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, some interesting things unfold at the office this week. Your hard work and ability to keep a cool head will prevail, and others will notice.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You’re ready for fun and games even before the weekend arrives, Cancer. You may start daydreaming about all the plans to make. Just don’t let it distract you.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a particular situation will take up much of your time this week, even into the weekend. You may have to postpone some of your plans for a later date.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Focus your attention on maintaining a healthy perspective on information that comes your way, Virgo. A new perspective might be just what you need to sort this situation out.

IN MEMORIAM

FRIZELL, Joanne, October 29, 2014 – In loving memory of a dear Wife, Mom and Grandma.

Today’s the anniversary Of the day that we lost you, And for a time it felt as though Our lives had ended too.

But loss has taught us many things, And now we face each day With hope and happy memories To help us on our way.

And though we’re full of sadness, That you’re no longer here, Your influence still guides us, And we still feel you near.

What we shared will never die, It lives within our hearts, Bringing strength and comfort, While we are apart.

We miss you, We miss your smile, Your joking ways, We miss the things, You used to say.

And when old times We do recall, It’s then that we miss you Most of all.

Missing you today and always, Fred, Chris, Kirsty, Christina, Nick L., Trinity, John and Nicholas

IN MEMORIAM

KINCH, Rheta Elizabeth November 1, 2007 In memory of a loving Mother, Mother-in-law, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.

Our Mother is always with us She’s the whisper of the leaves as we walk down the street She’s the smell of certain foods we remember, flowers we pick, the fragrances of life itself.

She’s the cool hand on our brow when we are not feeling well.

She’s the breath in the air on a cold winter’s day She is the sound of the rain that lulls us to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Our mother lives inside our laughter.

She’s the place we came from, our first home, and she’s the map we follow with every step we take.

She’s our first love, our first friend, but nothing on earth can separate us not time, not space, not even death.

Love you Mom Marilyn Terry and Sherry Brian and Marion and families

DESJARDINS, Blanche – In loving memory of Blanche Desjardins who passed away on October 21, 2012.

A light from our lives has gone, A voice we loved is still.

A place is vacant within our hearts, Which never can be filled.

A bouquet of beautiful memories, Sprayed with a million tears.

I wish God could have spared you, If just for a few more years.

We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain.

To walk with us through out our lives, Until we meet again.

So rest in peace dear Blanche, And thanks for all you’ve done.

We pray that God has given you The crown you’ve truly won.

Your vacant place no one can fill.

We miss you now and always will.

Forever missed and loved, Paul, Sarah, Marie and Grandson Cade.

Wild Bird Care Centre helping make future brighter for injured birds Gretta Bradley

Most of us can identify with what the Wild Bird Care Centre in Ottawa does. As children, however misguided, we followed a powerful need to help a defenseless creature.

Running into the house, we offered up the small life to our parents, carefully cradling it in our cupped hands.

We marveled at it as it lay under a lamp in a bed of tissues. We would hope beyond hope that this time the bald pink bird would still be alive in the morning. The outcome was always the same. Without proper care, the tiny thing would not survive the night.

Fortunately, treatment is much more sophisticated than AUCTIONS

that which can be found in a Kleenex box and the prognosis for injured birds is much brighter. The Wild Bird Centre was the obvious choice for the inaugural talk of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) 2015-2016 speaker series, “Naturally Special Places” at Almonte United Church Sept. 17. Patty McLaughlin is one of those fortunate individuals who has taken a passion and made it her life’s work. She is well known to the younger members of the Field Naturalists as the guiding force behind the Young Naturalists. This evening she would speak about her work rehabilitating and releasing wild birds. The audience responded to Patty’s

sense of humour as she introduced us to the unique cast of characters that inhabit the enclosures at the centre.

The Eastern Screech Owl, prominently displayed on our MVFN promotional literature, belied its ‘owly’ cuteness. Described as the Houdini of the avian crowd, it is known among those who work with our cagy friends, for pulling maddeningly, puzzling escapes.

Although clever escape artists, fortunately for staff their destination is usually predictable. My romantic notion of tenderly, nurturing a baby bird back to health, veered dramatically off script as Patty played video of springtime at the Wild Bird Care Centre. Images of hungry, demanding chicks are expected, but the noise! Nails being dragged down a blackboard at high velocity and maximum volume

doesn’t quite capture it. It struck me that they were not particularly grateful creatures, clambering to be fed every 20 minutes. The average number of times an American Robin has to be hand fed until it is released is 1,350 times. Patty joked as she shared her release-day video ‘fails’ with the audience. She apologized as, instead of birds soaring into the treetops looking back only briefly as they took to the sky once again after months of confinement, they flopped to the ground not quite knowing what to do with their newfound freedom.

Bird rehabilitation is not a DIY project. It is, in fact, illegal without proper authorization. The Wild Bird Care Centre operates under permits from both the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Canadian Wildlife Service. If you should find a distressed bird, visit

Centre does it all without funds from governments or corporations. Memberships and donations fund the return of thousands of birds a year to their natural habitats. Should you wish to donate go to their website and click on the “SUPPORT US” button. Their “peeps” will thank you!

Gretta Bradley is the program chair of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society AGM set for Nov. 4 Yvonne Helwig

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s Nov. 4 meeting will feature local entrepreneur Elizabeth Otonicar, of Creative Gardens Landscape and Design in Westport.

Elizabeth will demonstrate how to create exterior winter decorative arrangements using such local fall harvest items as hydrangeas, cattails, and grasses, as well as sprays from such local conifers as white and red pine, balsam and cedar. As Elizabeth puts it, these arrangements will showcase what Mother Nature gives us.

Having recently taken over the site of the former Westport Rentals, Elizabeth will be opening a Christmas shop there Nov. 7. The shop will offer a wide variety of Christmas decorations, including

poinsettias, bows and cedar roping. A big fan of Christmas, Elizabeth says she could do it 365 days a year.

However, the shop will close in January, re-open for Valentine’s Day and Easter and then open in April as a full garden centre offering trees, shrubs, perennials, mulches, compost and aggregates.

The shop will also carry Bahco, a Swedish variety of pruners and Dramm watering systems. The idea behind the shop will be to provide everything a gardener needs in one location.

A Red Seal certified chef, Elizabeth worked as an executive sous-chef in various locations in southwest Ontario before returning to Lambton College to study horticulture in 2003. Since graduating, she has worked at Pelee Island

Winery and Gemmells in Smiths Falls. Then she fell in love with Westport and established a business there that allows her to create beauty with stone – granite being her favourite.

The society’s Nov. 4 meeting is also its Annual General Meeting.

This year, the society will be voting on its new constitution and bylaws, as well as confirming its board of directors. The society is currently conducting a survey to determine interest in an edible tree planting and revitalization program. Questionnaires will arrive soon in area households through the mail and completed questionnaires can be dropped off at the township office in Chantry, or local branches of the Rideau Lakes Public Library. The questionnaire is also available online on the society’s website.

Local church bazaar expands this year Big changes are happening for Rideau Ferry’s Bethel United Church Bazaar this year.

Historically, the small rural church has held a successful Christmas tea and bazaar, holding a lovely Christmas worship service and selling hundreds of tins of their famous homemade cookies.

As a result of their success, the event has been changed to better accommodate everyone who wants to attend.

This year, their annual Worship, Tea, and Bazaar will be a two day event! In the past the United Church Women’s (UCW) group of the church have enjoyed tremendous success with their annual bazaar. So much so, that the crowds were becoming a lot to manage.

“We want to continue to sell cookies, and we don’t want to cut out the things that make the event truly special, like the worship,” says UCW member Linda Hamon. “We’re taking a risk and spreading it out. We hope that people can come and enjoy a very special Christmas worship service and then come another day to shop the bake sale. We’ll have more help, and the help will be a little less tired!”

Fifteen minutes to start the 26th Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

Oct. 18, 2015, 42.2 km. The field was capped at 6,000 runners this year. Many won’t finish. Runners from over 60 countries.

Ten minutes to start. Nervous. For a reason this time anyway. Bad left leg hamstring injury in July. Kept me off training for six weeks. How will I hold up today?

Five minutes to start. Not that this is my first marathon. No way. But most of those marathons were over 30 years ago. At 61 years old I am standing in the middle of a lot of young, lean athletes.

Not young anymore. Time to see if the old dude can still take the punishment of the marathon.

15 km - Pace seems a little brisk.

Will keep it up for now. Try to stay relaxed. Run strong.

Crowds are great. Rock bands playing.

Very fit. Maybe that July injury has affected my fitness after all.

Bears are steady in second place in CCHL standings ljweir@metroland.com

The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears are holding steady to the second place rung in the CCHL standings after a split of weekend games.

Their record of 14-4 is good for 28 points and second place in the Robinson Division, and second overall in the league. They are seven back of the Carleton Place Canadians, who have a 17-3 record, with three games in hand.

In front of close to 1,000 fans Sunday in Cornwall, the low-scoring match resulted in a 2-1 loss for the Bears.

“I though we played well with speed and intensity,” said Walt Dubas, the Bears assistant coach. “Their goalie (Liam Lascelle) had a really good game for them. Cornwall played a defensive game… we didn’t play as well.”

Cornwall was on the board first with Lawson McDougall’s goal at the 11:58 mark for the only goal of the first period.

In the second, Broydon Stufko evened the score with his marker from Michael McKenney and

That held up until Tristan Elie got past Evan DeBrouwer as the Colts took the 2-1 lead with 8:40 gone.

There was no scoring in the final period as DeBrower was tagged with the loss, saving 28 shots on nets.

Smiths Falls 6 Cumberland 4 Friday night at home, Smiths Falls managed to carve out a 6-4 win against the Cumberland Grads in front of less than 500 fans.

“Cumberland is one of the best teams in the league right now,” said Dubas. “They’re the surprise of the league. They played us tough on Friday and I expect the same thing when we see them on Sunday.”

McKenney had two goals in the Bears win over Cumberland with singles coming from Johnny Curran, Nicholas Coates, Cole Busschaert and Corey Caruso.

The Grads held 2-1 and 3-2 period leads before Smiths Falls bounced back in the third with four goals to Cumberland’s single marker.

The winning netminder was DeBrouwer with

27 shots with Ryan Coughlin was hit with the loss saving 22 shots.

“He’s doing well. We’re confident in his abilities… he’s our only goalie right now,” Dubas said.

“He’s done a very good job for us and has afforded us the time to look for a second goalie.”

Coming up, the Bears are hosting their Pink the Rink game on Friday night against the Nepean Raiders.

The Bears will be wearing their pink jerseys in support of breast cancer awareness. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Last year, the event raised $5,000 for the cause.

On Sunday, the team is in Cumberland for 3 p.m.

“They have a unique rink,” Dubas said of Cumberland. “It’s a little smaller – like Carleton Place’s rink. So we have to do things a little bit quicker as there is less room (and time) to manoeuvre.”

Stone Fence Theatre has pulled into Renfrew with their newest hit historical musical Here Comes the Train! The Ottawa Valley Railway Story, by Ish Theilheimer. This travelling show sold out all of its scheduled summer performances in advance and extra shows were added to meet the demand. Last fall the company sold out two well-received performances of G’Day We’re From the Valley Eh! at the Renfrew Legion so they have moved to the larger venue one block over at the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

The final Renfrew performance will be on Sunday Nov. 1 at 1 p.m.

“We knew this subject would be popular with both local residents and visitors, but we’ve been overwhelmed with the response so far,” says Amy Rouillard, box office and business Mmanager.

“Train aficionados are a passionate group, eager to travel to see what they love – not to mention that we’ve got plenty of them right here in the Valley! But really, who doesn’t love trains?

Even young children, who’ve probably never seen a real train, are fascinated.”

Stone Fence Theatre has been telling the Ottawa Valley’s history through professional musical theatre since 2003, putting some of the Valley’s best talent onstage to do it. Here Comes the Train! goes behind the scenes in the golden age of railways in the Ottawa Valley to look at the lives of the people who worked on the trains and the impact railways had on their communities, first establishing them and later after the lines were abandoned. The show is based on the firsthand experiences of some of the last of the Ottawa Valley railway workers from that era and also features stories of some of the great builders of the railroads, like Renfrew’s M.J. O’Brien.

“There are very few people left who worked on and around local railways in the Steam Era,” says Ish Theilheimer, company producer and playwright.

“With the decline they saw coming and the end of steam, the railways stopped hiring, for the most part, in the early 1950s, so there aren’t many folks around to talk with.”

Over the last two years, however, he did make contact with former railroaders throughout the Valley, from Madawaska to Ottawa, and their reminiscences form the backbone, and heart, of the musical.

Some of these railroaders include Micky Chatsick, when he lived at home in Killaloe; Gwen and Mark Woermke, Bob Corrigan, and Greg and Roseann Hart of Barry’s Bay; John Deshanes of Renfrew, Tom Gallagher of Eganville, and Don Recoskie of Wilno.

Graeme Roy, of Prescott, who grew up in the train station in which his father was Station Agent, contributed both stories and photos and videos from his immense collection, which will be projected throughout the show on an eightfoot-high screen.

“The images in the slide show are powerful,” says Theilheimer. “People will be moved.”

Theilheimer met Roy, and several

others, at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario in Smiths Falls. The Museum has been an important partner in this show, helping not only with research, but loaning Stone Fence Theatre props and costumes to ensure an authentic experience.

Here Comes the Train! includes 15 new songs, many in bluegrass style. “It just seemed to fit the subject, the rhythm of the rails,” says Theilheimer.

This Sunday’s show will in-

clude a traditional Ottawa-Valley style “Sunday Dinner” featuring delicious roast beef (with vegetarian and gluten-free options), complete with home baked rolls and fresh made pies., all prepared by one of the area’s most popular chefs, Andrea Paetzold-Budarick of Palmer Rapids.

While folks enjoy their meal they are treated to pre-show entertainment by a range of the Valley’s best musicians, from up-and-comers to favorites. The
