Ongoing Atironto water issue creates hardship for family Stacey Roy

News - One Atironto homeowner is feeling the weight of sky rocketing water bills, which may result in the local family becoming the first casualty of the ongoing debate over water.

“I’ll just sell my house,” said Stephanie Lavier of 31 Fifth Ave. “I’m not going to stay and pay this water bill. My water bill’s like a mortgage payment.”

Lavier built her home in Atironto in March 2004 never expecting that 10 years later she would be contemplating selling it because of water bills she just can’t keep up with. Her bills have been slowly creeping upwards since January 2014 with the largest installment coming in Sept. 5 at $708 for two months of water. The mother of four teenaged and adult children is bracing for yet another mammoth bill in November.

Lavier said she has been checking her meter daily since the fall and has already reached over $500 by Oct. 20.

“I’m assuming my bill will be over $600 again,” Lavier said.

She knows what to expect but not why. Lavier says she has made efforts to reduce her family’s water consumption this season from hand washing dishes to limiting showers to under 10 minutes, and is considering taking her laundry to a laundromat despite having energy efficient machines in her basement.

“I have nightmares about my water bills,” Lavier added. “I don’t feel that Montague cares or that they’re doing anything about it.”

The resident hasn’t seen anyone looking into the potential water leakage on Fifth Street since experts heard about a point of concern on the street during sounding this summer.

The sounding report, received Aug. 28, 2014 from Echolog-

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - When Mayor-elect Shawn Pankow takes his seat this December his first priority will be to tackle the 2015 budget and start the process of change residents clearly desire.

There’s “a little bit of disbe-

lief,” Pankow said seconds after being named the town’s mayor for the 2014-2018 term. “I was very overwhelmed,” he later added.

Pankow took the mayor’s seat with a 541 lead over his closest opponent, Ken Graham gathering a total of 1,619 votes to place the chains of office around his neck.

Just over 50 per cent of the voting population voted to transform Pankow from a councillor to his new role as the voice of the community. Pankow said he would like to improve the voting list accuracy for the 2018 election, saying this likely played a significant role in the lower turnout. In 2010, 60.61

News – The Lanark County Paramedic Service held its CPR re-certification on Oct. 24 at the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place. Two classes saw 38 paramedics go through their yearly re-certification. The paramedic’s union, CUPE Local 4480, picked up the cost of the course and provided a barbecue for the medics, family and friends but asked that the paramedics make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society’s fight against breast cancer. More than $500 was raised and presented to the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark unit of the Canadian Cancer Society at the end of the day.

15 LOUIS STREET, BROCKVILLE

Ministry of Education added to civil action involving local bus company

Report released On March 29, 2012, the same day the task force released its report, the MOE released a memo directing school boards to move forward with the RFP. STEO released the RFP on Sept. 24, 2012 and it was set to close on Nov. 26, 2012, despite the fact contracts did not need to be in place until September 2013.

The seven plaintiffs then went to court in October 2012

and asked for an interlocutory injunction to stop the RFP. “(This all started) when unfounded assumptions were made about the nature of the business relationship,” said Karen Cameron, executive director of ISBOA. “This story is happening all across Ontario. The school bus operators have won six times in court. Every judge, so far, has sided with these operators.”

The ISBOA was formed in the fall of 2008 and is comprised of 120 independent bus companies across Ontario, including the seven plaintiffs in this case.

“These bus companies had a cooperative and efficient working relationship with the boards prior to the implementation of the RFP,” said Cameron.

Cameron said it all started in 2009 with the RFP pilot projects. She explained if you have 40 companies with contracts and you only choose three or four to win the RFP, then you have essentially wiped out 36 or 37 family businesses.

“If you were an existing school bus company, and a lot of them had owned their companies for 40 or 50 years, school bus companies were wiped out overnight,” said Cameron.

Cameron said that by any comparison the school bus companies are already providing competitive service. She said any cost savings incurred through the RFP has been shown to be temporary and will come directly off the backs of the drivers, who on average make barely more than minimum wage, despite the intense training and licensing necessary to operate a bus.

Cameron said the court date was set for Sept. 17, 2014, but more documents were uncovered concerning the MOE’s involvement, which would in all likelihood push the court date back until late fall 2015.

Cameron said the system worked for operators and school boards before because small and medium sized bus companies have their names on the side of their buses, which instilled pride in their safety standards.

“Some of those drivers have

300 kids in the course of the day they have to get back to their parents and they are working for $13 an hour, but the government thinks it can get a better deal by going to RFP,” said Cameron.

Wheeler said the Broader Public Sector (BPS) Procurement Directive under the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, 2010, includes procurement guidelines to support the acquisition of goods and services across Ontario’s broader public sector. He explained the directive ensures services are purchased in a fair, open, transparent and accountable manner.

“In using an open and fair competitive processes, this directive supports equal treatment of all vendors,” stated Wheeler in an email. “The BPS ProcureR0012943358/1023

News – Valley Bus Lines Ltd. is one of seven plaintiffs in an ongoing civil suit against Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario, (STEO).

On Sept. 5, the Ministry of Education, (MOE), was added to the civil action as a defendant alongside STEO. The MOE had been granted intervener status in the case in February 2013, which allowed for the full participation of its lawyers.

The case arises from proposed changes to the way STEO awards bus route contracts, which involves a Request for Proposal (RFP) designed by the MOE. The plaintiffs argue that the RFP will favour larger bus companies and put many of the smaller companies out of business.

“We are doing this to ensure fairness,” said John Vingerhoeds, director of Valley Bus Lines.

Valley Bus Lines is a family owned school bus and charter company operating out of Kemptville. It employs roughly 100 people, including office staff, drivers and mechanics and transports almost 3,000 children daily.

The six other plaintiffs include Highland Bus Services, Barr Bus Lines Ltd., Clark Bus & Marina Ltd., Healey Transportation Ltd., Premier Bus Lines Inc. and Whitteker Bus Lines Ltd. All of the plaintiffs have served Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Stormont and Dundas counties for decades.

According to Gary Wheeler, senior media relations co-ordinator for the MOE, the province is funding a percentage of the legal costs that STEO incurred in litigation. To date, the province has contributed $1.47 million.

STEO was established by the school boards, which include the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario and the Upper Canada District School Board of Eastern Ontario, as an unincorporated association in 2009. STEO was incorporated on Oct. 25, 2011, replacing the two school boards as the sole party with whom opera-

tors would contract. In the past, operators servicing the school boards collectively negotiated contracts with STEO, including how much profit operators could earn each year.

During the negotiations, STEO was provided with operators’ confidential business information, which it used to determine a fair price for services.

“The way it used to be done, with three or four people in a room, worked,” said Vingerhoeds. “It was open book. They (STEO) knew the costs for everything. We couldn’t have pulled the wool over their eyes.

It was a fair process, but to go to an RFP that is flawed and having no one accountable to discuss it in good faith and have a look at it, something had to be done.”

Between January 2009 and March 2011, several pilot RFP projects were conducted in Ontario, which showed problems with the RFP system and caused operators to lose their businesses.

The Honourable Coulter Osborne, former Associate Chief Justice of Ontario, was asked to review the RFP process by the Independent School Bus Operators Association (ISBOA). The MOE approached ISBOA and asked if Osborne could chair a task force, whose purpose would be to review the problems with the RFP. The task force found that there were serious problems with the RFP, including the risk of creating monopolies. The task force recommended that the moratorium on RFPs should be extended beyond the deadline of September 2013 and an independent, third party expert should review the RFP process.

ment Directive outlines competitive procurement requirements for school boards, as well as hospitals, colleges, universities and other publicly-funded organizations for purchases of $100,000 or more.”

Wheeler said the MOE is also moving forward with the government’s commitment to conduct an independent review of the competitive procurement for student transportation.

“This review will look at current competitive procurement practices and student transportation RFPs to identify best business practices and opportunities for improvement in competitive procurement,” stated Wheeler.

“It will also explore options other than RFPs for competitive procurement of student trans-

portation that are in compliance with the BPS Procurement Directive for the consideration of the school board sector in Ontario.”

Wheeler said the review is currently underway and is expected to be completed by December 2014. It is being chaired

by Colin Campbell, a retired Justice of the Ontario Superior Court, who practiced for over 31 years in civil and corporate commercial fields at all levels of courts and regulatory tribunals across Canada.

“The chair will ensure impartiality, openness and transparency of the review process,” stated Wheeler.

STEO was contacted for comment, but did not respond to several emails.

Grand finale of My Town’s Got Talent set for Nov. 1 in Smiths Falls Community – The waiting is nearly over for the 15 semi-finalist performers, as well as the host and design finalists for this year’s grand finale of My Town’s Got Talent (MTGT).

On Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. they all take to the stage at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre in Smiths Falls for what will be a great night of entertainment.

“This past Saturday we had the last of our mentoring sessions for the fantastic young talented contestants in this year’s production,” according to Christy Bindhardt, artistic director, “and I have to say that this year’s finale will be truly spectacular. All of the semi-finalists have a real chance at winning, and we have three great young people trying to be the best host in the county. Coupled with the announcement of our design contest winner, it will be an exciting evening for the audience!”

The finale, presented by Metroland Media along with Town and Country Chrysler and the Gallipeau will involve celebrity judges, with help through an online poll from fans in the county, to select the five finalists. Once again, the evening will feature the audience voting for the overall winner from those five finalists, with the performing winner receiving a prize package that includes donations from VIA Rail

and the Fairmont Royal York Hotel of two return tickets from Smiths Falls to Toronto and two nights’ accommodation at the hotel. They join sponsors Lake 88.1, The Valley Players, L-D Tool and Die and the Perth-Upon-Tay Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244 in supporting MTGT. Bindhardt noted that “During the event, the audience will also vote for the top host from three finalists, and we will announce the winner of the design contest.”

“This year, our mentoring sessions where held over two days, where acclaimed musical director and performer Michael Gareau of Ottawa, who is currently directing the upcoming Orpheus production of Fiddler on the Roof taking place from Nov. 21 to 30 at Centrepointe Theatre,” continued Bindhardt.

“Michael worked with all the performers, hosts and design contestants to offer advice and guidance on how to take their performances to a winning level.”

The mentoring sessions took place at the YAK Youth Centre in Perth and the Carleton Place & District Centre in Carleton Place over the past two weekends.

“What really impressed me was the dedication and effort that all of these young performers showed me,” commented Gareau. “They

came well prepared and were willing to listen to the suggestions I had on how they could improve their performance for the finale. Very, very talented, and I look forward to being in the audience on Saturday to see the winners!”

In addition to the performance and host winners, on Saturday MTGT will also announce the design contest winner for a new logo for the Human Library Project, sponsored by the United Way and the five libraries in Lanark County – Perth, Mississippi Mills, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, and Lanark Highlands.

“This was an exciting new venture for the community last year, and we have three strong designs competing to be the logo for the spring 2015 edition of the project,” said Fraser Scantlebury, show producer and executive director of the United Way Lanark County. “The winning designer’s logo will appear on all the posters and website/social media publicity with the winner being chosen by a panel made up of our librarians and a local Almonte artist, Jeff Banks.”

This year will mark the fifth and final edition of MTGT in its current format. “We have had a wonderful run and have had more than 200 youth in Lanark County come out to our auditions over the years,” noted

Scantlebury. “The talent in Lanark County is absolutely wonderful, and having our finale at Smiths Falls’ gorgeously restored Gallipeau Centre Theatre is a wonderful way to end. Admission to the event is by donation, so it is open to everyone, and we hope to have a really big audience this year – there are lots of seats at the theatre.”

It was a hard decision to make this the final year of the current version of MTGT. “We looked at the experience of the show, and the changes in talent show events over the years, and feel that there needs to be a new idea or process,” commented Scantlebury.

He went on to say, “we will be talking with our partners at the youth centres in Lanark County to see if there is more new ways to approach how to reach out to talented youth in the county – so stay tuned for details in 2015!”

As in previous years, the event is in support of the United Way Lanark County annual fall campaign. All donations at the door for the finale will go towards the United Way’s Youth Initiatives in Lanark County, supporting the United Way’s five youth centre member agencies.

“This is an excellent opportunity for the county to see what our youth member agencies do for the young people in their communities,” said

Johann Ramsaran, chair of the board of the United Way Lanark County. “All five – Carleton Place Youth Centre, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, YAK Youth Centre in Perth, Smiths Falls and District Youth Centre, and Take Young People Seriously (TYPS) Youth Centre from Mississippi Mills – helped out at the auditions and will also be at the finale. Community members will have the opportunity to meet youth from each centre, and learn about what their local youth centre is doing in their community.”

In addition, youth from the Smiths Falls and District Youth Centre will have a canteen open during the event, with all proceeds going to the United Way. “Once again, it’s now up to folks in the county to come out to the show on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. to see the wonderful talent of the county, a few surprises, and to vote for their favorite performer and host and to get a taste for what you will see, just go to www.mtgt.org, check out the videos and cast advance votes for your favorite – then we hope to see you in Smiths Falls this Saturday to vote at the finale!” said Bindhardt.

For additional information, contact the United Way at 613-2539074.

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it.

Sports – The 2014 Upper Canada Cup cross-country championship were held Oct. 22 at Memorial Park in Brockville. Above, more than 1,300 student athletes in grades 4 to 8 were in attendance and represented schools from all across the board. This event is part of the Upper Canada Sports League, a board league offering the chance for Upper Canada District School Board students to compete in soccer, basketball, volleyball, track and field and cross-country running. The league was created as part of efforts to increase the wellness of our students by encouraging a love of sports and fitness.

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.

The event was hosted by Lanark County Social Housing, Kelford Youth Services and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and it brought together agencies and municipal representatives from across the region that have a vested interest in eradicating homelessness in this area.

A representative of CMHC explained that organization is the national housing authority for the federal government and helps Canadians to meet their housing needs. “Housing is fundamental and is the foundation of strong and resilient communities here in Lanark County.”

She noted the most vulnerable in society are often hidden. “They are couch surfing or living in cars or tents

or, worse yet, forced to flee their community to urban centres where there is the promise of shelter and supports.”

Emily Hollington, a Lanark County social housing caseworker, outlined some of the challenges of tracking homelessness in this community, where there is no formal shelter system.

“We hope today will engage the entire community in a collaborative effort to end rural homelessness,” she said.

She also reviewed key aspects of Lanark County’s 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan, which was developed with wide consultation and data collection. Its vision is for a county “where residents have access to safe and healthy homes that help to build strong local communities.”

The plan, which was approved this year and will be updated annually, sets out strategies for increased

access to housing, ending homelessness, addressing issues around nonprofit housing wait times, continuing programs through the private market (rent support, homeownership and Renovate Lanark), coordinating with community services and addressing issues around environmental sustainability.

Hollington also outlined goals for the future, such as continuing the work of the Lanark County Housing Coalition to address local issues, share information and develop plans and programs; as well as establishing a group to address the issue of hoarding.

“We also want to ensure Lanark County council has current information so it can continue to advocate on local housing and homelessness issues, and we want to increase the housing services profile by considering gaps in services and create partnerships that provide innovative programs,” Hol-

lington stated.

The group then heard from two young people who have experienced homelessness and who participated in the Youth Action March held on Oct. 17 to raise awareness on rural youth homelessness.

In the morning, a panel discussion took place that featured a range of speakers. The first to speak was Leigh Bursey, a Brockville city councillor and advocate for non-profit housing, who discussed changing the ideology behind homelessness and what it looks like and how affordable housing can be a significant economic driver in communities.

Tom Greening, executive director of Home Base Housing in Kingston, outlined the services offered and described how youth homelessness differs from adult homelessness.

He described the reasons for youth homelessness and some of the ways

his organization plans to identify and combat it.

Laura Mainella, a housing and homelessness support outreach worker for CORE Youth Services, described the services offered by the organization, which meets with youth across the county to address their immediate concerns. This can include emergency shelter, food, clothing or referrals to agencies that can help with mental health or addiction issues. She emphasized collaboration with other agencies to better meet those needs.

Julie McKercher, a community developer working in rural Ottawa, works with residents and community groups to identify challenges and assets and to find ways to solve community issues. She is co-chair of the Rural Youth Housing and Homelessness Working Group, which is part See FORUM page 9

travelling “uPod”, the audience is transported into the past. Dr. McKenzie (Mark Piper) and Ethel McKenzie (Heather Douglas) are supported by an 11-member chorus in a series of flashbacks highlighting the achievements of Dr. McKenzie in the fields of medicine, rehabilitation therapy, physical education and art.

When playwright Martin delved deeper into the life and times of this distinguished local figure, she began to learn more about his many accomplishments. “He truly was a Renaissance man,” says Martin, “with interests in a variety of fields – everything from gymnastics to botany, Greek mythology to mytocology.

It’s no wonder that he achieved international recognition for his work in three fields of endeavour – medicine, teaching and art.”

If you are interested in learning more about the lives of Dr. R. Tait McKenzie and his wife, Ethel, come out to this performance. You may not find “dirt”, but you will find the truth about this remarkable Canadian man.

Rising to the challenge

ear is a powerful thing.

If there is one thing that those living in Ottawa and those across the country should guard against in the wake of the tragic shooting that took place on Parliament Hill last week, it is giving in to fear.

While very young children are often afraid of nothing, we all learn to fear something at a very early age. Fear for adults is often the consequence of a lack of understanding. If we don’t comprehend what something means, or what its motives might be, we tend to fear it.

Despite exposure to the threat of global terrorism over the past decade and a half, Canada had up until last week been fortunate in that it had not been forced to confront terror on its own soil. Those days are now over, and we now begin the process of coming to terms with the reality of terrorism. Now is the time when fear can begin to manifest itself.

As a city and as a country, we need to resist the temptation to give in to fear.

Adventure in milk house leaves kids not wanting to go back Lifestyle – We had many favourite spots to play when I was a little girl growing up on a farm, but I think one of my favourites was the old milk house at the farm next door to us.

I guess one of the reasons I liked the old black board building was because it was no longer used as a milk house, and we children were allowed to us it as a play house.

After a few questions we found out that someone saw a couple of bats swirling around in the milk house and according to her, they came swooping down ready to plunge into her hair, which we all thought was the main mission of a bat in those days.

Tub reported he saw the bats going into the attic through a small hole near the ceiling. It was one of the few outbuildings on the farm that had an attic...most were wide open to the roof. But Aunt Bertha had the attic put in and she stored all sorts of things up there she couldn’t get into the house.

Now is not the time to shrink from the challenges now facing us. Shutting up shop, curtailing freedoms, stoking fearful sentiments - such actions will not help Canada confront terror.

The threat of terror is now upon us, so we must now act. To borrow from Helen Keller, who showed remarkable courage despite having much to fear in her life, “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.”

Canadians must resist being fearful.

We must be mindful, but we must not be afraid. Soldiers should not fear walking our streets in uniform. If our boldest guardians are afraid, we are surely lost.

Our political leaders must not be afraid.

Now is the time for strong leadership that protects the citizens of Canada while maintaining the rights and freedoms that are integral to our national identity.

These are stern tests of our character, but now is time for bravery to shine through and banish fear to the shadows.

them senseless with a baseball bat. He didn’t volunteer and neither did any of the other boys standing outside the milk house.

To suggest one of us girls go up was beyond comprehension.

And then everyone’s eye turned to Tub. He seemed to be afraid of nothing. I recalled the day he picked up a grass snake by the tail and whirled it over his head. I couldn’t fathom anyone being so fearless.

My brother Everett suggested Tub go into the attic. About 10 heads nodded in agreement.

Tub bobbed his head up and down too, just like he was in his right mind.

Everett got the old wood ladder and propped it up against the beams. I was too scared to go in the milk house, but we had a perfect view from the window at the side.

There was Tub crawling up the ladder with his eyes cast to the ceiling. I took one look at Tub, and a look at the little door, and it didn’t take a genius to figure

of Child and Youth Health Network of Eastern Ontario, and they are inviting anyone who is interested to participate in their group.

Nichole Anderson, executive director of the Susan Shirley program and Grace’s Haven, outlined the residential maternity home in Smiths Falls that is dedicated to supporting young, at-risk new mothers or mothers-to-be.

The programs provide housing, parenting skills, training options and transitional support.

Dr. Stephen Gaetz, a professor in the Faculty of Education at York University in Toronto and director of the Canadian Ob-

out it was going to be a very tight fit. He lifted the door and shoved it along the floor of the attic and stuck his head into the cavity.

One more rung on the ladder and his shoulders would be inside.

He filled every square inch of the opening and his arms were hanging by his sides, as if someone had nailed them to his rib cage.

We heard him yell to one of the boys to give him a push. Everett climbed up the ladder and placed one of Tub’s feet and then the other on each shoulder. Everett pushed upwards with all his might, but Tub wouldn’t budge an inch. He was starting to yell that he was suffocating. The two of them must have struggled for 20 minutes and it was soon obvious that Tub wasn’t going to move. Emerson had a flash of insight and suggested the ladder be moved to the outside of the building, around to the little window and someone could crawl in there and push Tub downwards, since it was obvious to all he certainly wasn’t going to be going up.

Everett jumped off the ladder

servatory on Homeless and the Homeless Hub, highlighted the need for an affordable housing strategy.

In the afternoon Dr. Gaetz again took the floor as the keynote speaker. His address began by highlighting adolescent development and how society has changed, which is affecting expectations about jobs and leaving home. “The fact is, homeless youth exist in every community, not just cities,” he said. “If you think someone chooses to be homeless, you don’t have to care.

Homelessness is not fun. People don’t choose to be homeless.”

Dr. Gaetz outlined the path to youth homelessness and stressed the importance of keeping young

after removing Tub’s feet and in a flash they had the ladder out the door and around the side of the building. We girls were still glued to the window, and let me tell you it was a funny sight to see Tub hanging out of the ceiling with his gum rubbers and overalls looking like they were nailed to the roof with no body attached.

We heard Emerson lift the window and then heard him pounding across the floor of the attic. We heard muffled conversation, but both boys were yelling, so we couldn’t make out what either was saying. There was a great ‘whoosh’ and the next thing we saw was poor old Tub shoot out of that hole in the attic like a big bag of grain. It was most unfortunate that no one thought of going outside to retrieve the ladder so that he could dismount with some dignity. As it was he hit the floor like a boulder, rattling the windows and raising the dust from the boards.

I thought he was dead. He lay there a couple of minutes with his eyes glassed over and one

people connected to their communities so that they have some supports and connections, such as family, friends and school.

“The path to adult homelessness often begins in childhood, so it is important to provide supports so that young people can move into adulthood in a safe way.” He said giving them time is often the most important factor.

He explained the need to focus on prevention and provide supports quickly to reduce the need for emergency response. Collaboration with agencies, working with families to solve conflicts, and finding leadership at all levels of government are important steps, he said.

gum rubber about l0 feet from his body.

Emerson’s head was poking out of the attic door and no one said a word. Poor old Tub started to move. He rubbed his hands up and down his body to see if there were any missing parts, then he rolled over, got up on his knees and slowly stood to a standup position. He reached out for his

other boot, walked towards the door and without as much as a by-your-leave, headed right out the lane to the Northcote Side Road. Not once did he turn to look back.

None of us had much enthusiasm for the milk house after that.

Audrey thought we could play house. Emerson said they might get the B-B guns and shoot pi-

geons. But everything everyone suggested paled in comparison to the episode we had just gone through.

What a POA is … and isn’t You’ve been asked by a relative or close friend to be their Power of Attorney (POA) – and you feel honoured because it means that person considers you to be trustworthy and capable.

But what is a POA in the first place? A power of attorney is a legal document where one person (called the donor) gives authority to another person (called the attorney) to manage some or all of the donor’s financial affairs while they are alive.

There’s no doubt that when one person (the ‘donor’) gives another person (the ‘attorney’) POA over his or her assets, the donor is placing a significant amount of trust in the attorney and this could make the donor vulnerable to abuse.

In an Enduring POA, an attorney has the power to act on behalf of the donor if the donor becomes mentally incompetent, making the donor even more vulnerable to abuse if the attorney is not honest and trustworthy. In Québec, once a person’s mental incapacity is established, the attorney (known as a ‘mandatary’ in Québec) acts under the provisions of a homologated mandate - meaning the mandatory has been legally recognized by a Court of Law to act as the representative of the donor (known as the ‘mandator’ in Québec).

When you are acting under a POA, you are that donor’s attorney and have

Manage Your Money an obligation to act only in the donor’s best interests, not yours. If, as attorney, you instigate an action that is in your best interests rather than the donor’s, that is a conflict of interest.

Here are a few examples of actions that would breach the duty of an attorney: • Adding the attorney or a family member as a joint owner of the donor’s property so the assets passes outside the estate and go directly to the surviving joint owner. (In Québec, there is no right of survivorship on jointly-held property.)

• Adding the attorney or a family member as a direct beneficiary of a registered asset or life insurance policy so the funds will be paid directly to that beneficiary and not to the donor’s estate. (In Québec, direct beneficiary designations are only effective on insurance products.)

• Distributing the donor’s assets to the attorney or family members prior to the death of the donor (although some jurisdictions do allow attorneys to make small gifts from time to time).

In some cases, the justification for carrying out actions like those described above, has been to save

probate fees – however, probate fees are extremely low throughout Canada and should not be used as an excuse to drive these actions.

In fact, adding joint owners and direct beneficiaries may be bad financial planning in many cases. Instead, it is often more advisable to have the assets distributed through the estate, which may provide a more equitable distribution and more tax-planning opportunities.

As an attorney you are accountable for actions done on behalf of the donor and could be asked by the court to account for all transactions made as an attorney. Seek advice from a lawyer and your professional advisor to help ensure that you stay on side.

Mudds’ Youth Theatre actors did well with dialogue heavy A Midsummer Night’s Dream Jeff Maguire

Arts – The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre in Carleton Place recently presented Shakespeare’s well-known comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream and they deserve credit for stickhandling through such a lengthy, dialogue heavy production.

The young actors did a good job of staging the classic comedy (circa 1590) which is one of English poet and playwright William Shakespeare’s most popular productions. It is presented regularly around the world.

There was a good crowd on hand for opening night (Oct. 17) in the historic town hall auditorium. There were two performances (matinee and evening) on Oct. 18 and a matinee finale Oct. 19.

Mudds Youth Theatre first began staging productions here in 2009. In fall 2011 the then fledgling company presented Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’, a very difficult assignment. Last October they did a good job on another of the prolific writer’s best-known plays Othello.

The notes in the show handout state that A Midsummer Night’s Dream was “probably written as private entertainment for English nobility.”

It then went out of fashion for much of the 17th and 18th centuries. But in the first half of the 19th century it was revived and used as a vehicle for grand theat-

rical spectacles.

The theme of the play is the immaturity of young love and the large ego of actors.

This was a contemporary version of the play with most of the actors wearing street clothes – modern apparel. So the audience has to get used to that from the outset. As with the two previous Shakespearean productions staged by the Mudds Youth Theatre this was presented in the round. The disadvantage is that without microphones to boost the sound the voices of some of the young cast were unintelligible at times, especially if their backs were turned.

I heard that complaint from several audience members during intermission and afterwards. It’s something that should be considered should there be a decision taken to mount similar productions in future.

It is impossible to outline this entire (lengthy) story in one short review.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream outlines the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus (played here by veteran youth actress Hayley Fortier) to Hippolyta (Jasmine Coleman) Queen of the Amazons.

One handicap this troupe has is finding enough male actors to fill the roles. That presents an additional challenge for actors such as Fortier who, I have to say, dealt with the matter admirably.

Complex story

The plotline features the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors. They are manipulated (controlled might be a better word) by fairies who inhabit the forest where much of the play takes place. In a departure for Mudds Youth Theatre productions costumers had to work very hard to produce the fairies garments which were very professionally done, as are all the costumes in Mississippi Mudds’ presentations.

There are actually three separate stories involved here, all of which are tied together by the wedding.

Peter Quince (Kate Bains) and his fellow actors are planning a play to be offered at the wedding.

Meanwhile the King of the Fairies Oberon (well played by Sean Patton), and his estranged Queen Titania (Emilie Ritchie) have also come to the forest outside Athens.

Oberon seeks to punish Titania by enlisting the aid of Robin ‘Puck’ Goodfellow (played here by the excellent Maddy Martin) to concoct a magical juice which, when applied to the eyelids of a sleeping person, makes them fall in love with the first living thing they see upon waking.

At the same time Lysander (Callum LeRoy) and Hermia (Maleeka Thaker) have gone to the forest in hopes of eloping.

Hermia’s father Egeus (Amber

Berndt) had demanded that she marry Demetrius (Molly Cooney) who is the love object of Helena (Lydia Charron).

Yes, it is very complicated and I can’t begin to untwist the complex plot in this space!

But when Titania awakes, under the spell of the potion, the first creature she sees is Nick Bottom (the outstanding Katie Irvine), who is generally described as “the most ridiculous of Athenian craftsmen.” Puck has transformed his head into that of an ass.

For some period Titania dotes on Bottom (and his strange head).

Eventually the love potion finds its way to Lysander’s eyelids and that results in a turnaround that saves all the young lovers from going in the wrong direction.

Theseus and Hippolyta discover the couples sleeping in the forest and take them back to Athens to be married. Demetrius now loves Helena and Lysander hooks up with Hermia.

Following a group wedding the lovers watch Bottom and his

fellow craftsmen perform their play which is a fumbling, frantic and hilarious version of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. Irvine did double duty as Pyramus while Thisbe was portrayed by Levi Albert who also played another character, Francis Flute.

In the final scene the lovers go to bed only to have the fairies reemerge to bless them with a protective charm before disappearing. Only Puck remains to ask the audience for forgiveness and approval as well as to urge those watching to remember the play as if it has all been a dream.

I was especially enamored of the work offered by the charming Miss Martin as Puck and by the efforts of the incredibly energetic Irvine (Bottom/Pyramus). I can’t touch on all the characters in what was a cast of 21 individuals.

I read A Midsummer Night’s Dream in high school. But I had to familiarize myself with the play all over again in order to write this review.

One suggestion I would of-

fer is that the plotline should be summarized in more detail in the handout given to audience members. There was only a very short paragraph in the program on this occasion.

As a result audience members who are familiar with the story (parents and senior Mudds members for example) applauded and laughed while many others in the crowd were silent because evidently they were unable to follow the complex storyline.

In conclusion I want to congratulate director Mark Piper and producer Wendy Jewell for the hard work they did (along with all of the backstage folks) to bring this young troupe together and coach them through an extremely complex and wordy play. Clearly a lot of effort went into this production.

Singer-songwriter Doug Paisley to appear at MERA on Oct. 31 Community - Doug Paisley, who’s fall tour brings him to MERA Schoolhouse for a concert on Friday, Oct. 31, received more critical acclaim, from more prominent sources, for his second album, Constant Companion (2010), than most Canadian singersongwriters can hope for in their whole careers. Rolling Stone called it “one of the best singer-songwriter albums of the year”, Mojo described his songs as having “a rare kind of purity,” and the New Yorker said the album was “a quiet wonder.”

With the kind of understatement that’s typical of the man, Paisley describes his new album, Strong Feelings, as “just 10 new songs. It’s a lot less simple and unadorned than other recordings I’ve made, but it’s just as earnest and straightforward as what I’ve done before.”

This is all in keeping with the songwriter’s low-key approach to his art, preferring to let his songs speak for themselves. Both Constant Companion and 2008’s self-titled debut drew their power from the minimalism of Paisley’s unique take on rustic Americana.

Largely set to simple arrangements of acoustic guitar and piano, it was an unobtrusive style that served to heighten the impact of his beguiling Submitted photo songs about relationships in various Doug Paisley is gearing up to play at the MERA Schoolhouse for a states of ruin and flux.

Strong Feelings expands on the same concert on Friday, Oct. 31.

Paisley performed for 10 years alongside Chuck Erlichman as a duo entitled Russian Literature and as a tribute act entitled Stanley Brothers.

He previously toured with Bonnie Prince Billy (William Oldham) under the name Dark Hand and Lamplight with artist Shary Boyle. Boyle would illuminate her art in the background while Paisley played the guitar and sung his songs. The pairing received recognition when they were selected to showcase at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2008.

Paisley has been featured both on CBC Radio in Canada and on National Public Radio in the United States.

preoccupations, but this time Paisley has also opened up the sound, recording with a revolving band of brothers that includes The Cairo Gang’s leader/ guitarist Emmett Kelly, bassist Bazil Donovan, drummer Gary Craig, keyboardist Robbie Grunwald and elusive Canadian songstress Mary Margaret O’Hara. Also aboard is the legendary Garth Hudson, who enjoyed himself so much on Constant Companion that he came back for more.

Not that Paisley has forsaken any of the delicacy and quiet rapture of his previous work. Recorded in a new analogue studio in Toronto (save for one memorable session in the lobby of Ottawa’s National Arts Centre, with Hudson playing a Steinway piano that once belonged to composer Glenn Gould), Strong Feelings bears his usual trademark signature, but it’s an altogether more assured work, full of rich texture and fine detail.

“This album took a lot more time than the others and involved more people,” says Doug.

“I find that consistent touring and identifying yourself as a professional musician can take some of the spontaneity out of things. So as an alternative I tried to be more deliberate with this record, further developing and labouring over music where previously I might have been more likely to cast something in its earliest stages.

I tried to get into creatively challeng-

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

riety of bugs from their classmates and although our son and daughter seemed to get over the affects quickly, their mother and I weren’t always as fortunate.

For me in particular it was simply a year in which I caught everything going and had a hard time shaking the bugs. It happens!

In those days the vaccine probably wasn’t as far reaching and effective as the shots we get today.

Nothing is perfect and even the experts are forced to guess what strains of the flu virus are likely to hit North America in each successive season.

For example the vaccine strains for our current winter flu jabs were chosen in February, before the last season had ended.

That’s because it takes months to manufacture, package and ship the vaccine to health care practitioners, clinics and pharmacies. Yes, you can now arrange a flu shot very easily at your local drug store once the vaccine is available in good supply.

Either that or telephone your family doctor or local clinic to see when you can make an appointment. Ours is coming up early next month at our doctor’s office.

First in line are the most vulnerable and those 65 or older.

Fortunately we don’t currently qualify in either of those categories.

A lesson learned Admittedly my wife Kathleen was not an easy convert.

She shrugged off the offer of a flu shot in the fall for many years and in general did not suffer for what she now realizes was an ill-advised decision.

Then, four years ago, she was hit by a serious case of influenza. The bug laid her low for 10 days and she missed an entire week of work.

I had taken the flu shot and was unaffected. That very unpleasant episode was what finally convinced Kathy of the value of the flu jab.

She has rolled up her sleeve

for the past three years and gladly taken her medicine. She has not had a repeat of the flu either.

As mentioned, the first people targeted each fall are the elderly and infirm, those with immune systems compromised by existing conditions and infants.

Our baby granddaughter Lily lives in Regina with her mother (our daughter Heather) and father. Ten days ago Lily turned seven-months-old. In Saskatchewan they recommend little ones get their shots as early as possible.

Heather emailed to say Lily received another needed vaccination along with the flu shot one afternoon.

Besides sleeping more than usual afterward she was perfectly fine and went on as if nothing had happened. Her Mom and Dad (and her grandparents) can sleep better knowing she has been immunized against the flu.

How about you? Will you be following the same example? I certainly hope so because the immunization rate on this continent is staggeringly low.

Despite the urgings of the medical community and significant advertising campaigns in both Canada and the neighbouring United States, just 36 per cent of the people on this vast continent received their flu jab prior to last season.

There is concern among the experts that the same low percentage of recipients will be repeated in 2014.

To put the matter in perspective, there were seven million flu cases recorded in North America last season. Note that I used the word “recorded.” It is estimated that millions of others suffered symptoms, in various degrees, but because they did not seek medical attention their names were not added to the lengthy roll of documented cases.

Of course that fact goes to the very heart of this important matter. Millions of sick people circulating in public, without considering others, create a huge problem.

They spread the infection which in turn is passed within families, schools, businesses, hospitals and residences for the elderly.

Those who are young, old or already fighting health problems are extremely vulner-

able. Clearly we are not doing nearly well enough in terms of the number of people who are actively seeking out and obtaining their flu shots.

Statistics are important in underlining my point. In Ottawa, the largest urban centre in our region, there were 100 people who had to be hospitalized because of the severity of their flu symptoms during the last season.

Of that number 33 were children, fully one-third of the serious cases. Sadly 15 individuals died from what is officially called “complications of influenza.”

Knowing the signs of the flu isn’t the point of my column this week. Once you have the illness you are already actively spreading it to others, possibly including the most vulnerable.

No, the point of this article is to convince you that adding yourself to the roll of those who are responsible enough to seek out protection from the flu bug is extremely important.

You aren’t only helping yourself and your family you are also assisting other members of the community at large including people who may not be able to recover from such an insult to their systems.

Fear is one reason the percentage of flu shot recipients is so low. Some people fear inoculations of any kind could lead to complications, something the medical community is quick to dispel.

The risk in this case, or with any inoculation, is incredibly low. If only more people would ensure that they and their children had all of their shots the incidence of disease in general would be that much less in this country.

I have a friend and an uncle who are both physicians and they say getting the flu shot is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your family and the extended community.

If everyone did there would be no need for messages like this.

Don’t delay, the 2014 program is being rolled out and by the time you read this you will be able to arrange the flu shot for yourself and other family members who should have it.

Lifestyle – I remember the first time I decided to go for a flu shot. Well, I don’t remember the exact year but I will never forget the winter and spring that followed. I was never so sick in my life.

It was quite a few years ago now. I went to the former health unit office on Bridge Street in Carleton Place after making an appointment to get the flu shot, or more correctly the “flu jab” as our friends in the United Kingdom call it.

I think the Brits have it right – it is definitely more or a jab than a shot.

I submitted to the procedure on the advice of our family physician.

It was probably in the 1980s when the Ontario medical system was just rolling out a process which is now an annual fixture in our province, our country and around the world.

As most of you know the flu can be devastating for the elderly, young children or people of all ages who are suffering from other illnesses or whose immune systems are compromised.

In the early years of what is now a familiar, annual vaccination program very few took advantage of the opportunity.

As with all new programs many of us were skeptical and others were afraid the shot would actually give them the flu, something we now know is completely untrue.

After I survived that first winter and spring following my initial flu vaccination I readily admit it was years before I “submitted” to the procedure again.

As I recall – and I recall that long ago winter all too well – I was constantly ill with one virus or another.

Colds, grip and perhaps a strain of the flu were with me virtually non-stop. Only the arrival of spring and the ability to get outside into the fresh air finally dispersed the black cloud that followed me around for weeks on end.

Of course I now realize I was foolish to stop taking the flu jab because I happened to have one bad winter of illness.

I know it was pure coincidence. The reality is that at the time our two children were attending school here in Carleton Place.

They picked up a wide va-

Habits of Canadian beaver to be highlighted at land trust’s dinner Nov. 7 Community – Beavers have always had a special relationship with humans in Canada. Almost extirpated at one time, today they are widely recognized as a symbol of our country. But how much do we really understand them and their role in our world? Who to better help us understand and appreciate beavers and life in their ponds than Michael Runtz, renowned naturalist and photographer?

On Friday, Nov. 7, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) will hold its annual Dinner and Benefit Auction at the Almonte Civitan Club Community Hall in Almonte. Michael Runtz is our honoured guest speaker.

The event also features a benefit auction offering a wide range of useful and uniquely interesting items, with proceeds going to help support the important work of the land trust.

Anyone who has ever heard Runtz tell the stories of his wild adventures in the backwoods of Ontario will confirm that they are absolutely riveting.

And these are not just tales – he’s got exceptional photographs to prove it!

Runtz has won numerous awards for his education and conservation efforts and community involvement.

He believes that through his work he can help people understand and appreciate nature. He is the author of 11 books that demonstrate his wealth of knowledge and passion for nature,

The Canadian beaver: is it a pest or eco-hero? Find out from guest speaker Michael Runtz at the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s annual dinner and benefit auction at the Almonte Civitan Club hall on Nov. 7. brought to life with his outstanding photography and enthusiasm.

His many years of on the ground research into the habits and habitat of

beavers back up this highly visual and entertaining presentation. It will provide an advance glimpse into his new book, Dam Builders: The Natural

History of Beavers and their Ponds, due out next February. Many unusual beaver facts, including original observations and photographs, will pro-

vide a captivating, intimate glimpse into the world inhabited by beavers.

Beaver ponds are some of the most complex and important habitats of our regions. Like watching a first-rate play with a constantly changing cast of characters — beavers, otters, birds, amphibians, plants, and other species — Runtz will give us a tour of a dramatic show seldom seen so vividly.

This annual event is a fundraiser for the land trust, with proceeds helping support the ongoing costs of stewarding the properties under its care. To date, MMLT has protected 2,200 acres of conservation lands and is currently in negotiations with landowners for 500 additional acres.

The event begins at 6 p.m. with dinner served at 7 p.m. Dress is casual. The Almonte Civitan Club Community Hall is located at 500 Almonte Street (Wolf Grove Road).

Tickets are $40, cheque or cash only, available at Hello Yellow in Almonte, Reads Book Shop in Carleton Place, Village Treats in Lanark, Shadowfax in Perth, Pakenham General Store, and Arnprior Book Shop.

For your convenience, you may also email vandenhoff@bell.net or call 613-278-2939 to reserve tickets for pick-up at the door. Deadline for ticket purchase is Oct. 31 or when tickets are sold out.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT DES ATTR... T ALLY DO...AK  VILLAG

The traditional African proverb states “it takes a village to raise a child”.

If that is indeed the case, we need to know where that village came from and what that village actually does.

There are many denitions for the term village, but perhaps the one from Wikipedia provides the most insight for the purposes of this article. It denes a village as a “clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town”. This infers that the village is a settlement of individuals, all of whom bring something to the table in terms of skills and talent that will be useful for the sustainability of the village as a whole. If this were not so, why would they bother to stay together?

They stay together because the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts. Each individual, each organization (or association) contributes what they can for the benet of their community and ultimately they receive benet from being a part of it. Most care and support comes through people getting together to help others: families, neighbours, and organizations alike. The work that gets done through churches, service groups and community projects like the Neighbourhood Tomato, is primarily conducted by passionate volunteers, whose passion ensures delivery of care, compassion and friendship. Nothing makes as much difference to personal safety, health, and well-being, as being connected and cared for by neighbours and family. In other words, being cared for by your village.

During Community Support month, Mills Community Support has shared a series of articles, primarily on different aspects of our work with seniors.

We have focused on the services it takes and the barriers we need to address in creating communities in which people, no matter their age or abilities can contribute in a meaningful way. However, just in case we didn’t make it clear, we do need the rest of the village to make that happen.

Inc.

Government agencies, hospitals, doctors, community health centers, nursing and retirement homes and other forms of health care organizations, contribute to the health and well-being of seniors and their caregivers AND they are ALL a part of our collective village. Add them to the families, neighbours, churches, service clubs and community projects and you realize that the village is… strong.

Catholic school board highlights leadership development strategy vice-principals.

The job shadowing program is a leadership opportunity that allows a teacher to be teamed with a senior principal for a job shadowing opportunity, which includes a half-day preplanning meeting between the participant and the administrator, as well as a full-day of job-shadowing.

This program is an excellent opportunity for teachers who wish to develop their leadership skills and who may aspire to a principal position in the future.

Musca praised the quality of the board’s principals and vice-principals, noting that, “Our board has had the privilege of having two of our leaders recognized as recipients of the Canada’s Outstanding Principals Award. This award recognizes the contributions of principals who have done truly remarkable work.”

Recipients of this honour are invited to participate in a five-day executive leadership training program, which is held in partnership with the Rotman School of Management. At the end of each school year, the award recipients present at the board annual principal/vice-principal retreat, and share what they have learned in the program. In 2013, Dave Chaplin (St. John Catholic High School) was the recipient of this award, and in 2014, J.P. Elliott (St. Joseph Catholic School, Gananoque) was recognized.

The board continues to develop outstanding lead-

ers, and improve on student rectly. Consequently, maintainachievement through this lead- ing a safe learning environment ership focus. is critical.

“Teachers are responsible for ensuring the safety of students during classroom activities, and for encouraging and motivating students to assume responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others,” explained Derochie. “Teachers must also ensure that students acquire the knowledge and skills needed for safe participation in all technological activities.”

In an effort to assist teachers with this task, the board has developed the technology shop safety guideline, and also hosted a full-day professional develop-

ment in-service for all technology teachers and secondary principals. The program will help to ensure students develop an attitude of “safety mindedness,” allowing them to work responsibly with their peers in a technological education facility, recognize the potential hazards, and take appropriate precautions to mitigate the risk of these hazards. The guideline also sets requirements for monthly inspection of high-risk areas in school classrooms.

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular meeting Oct. 21 at the board office in Kemptville.

The CDSBEO recognizes the importance of good leadership and the role leaders play in student achievement. According to author and professor Dr. Ken Leithwood, whose research focuses on school leadership and student achievement, approximately 50 per cent of student achievement can be attributed to teacher quality.

The remaining 50 per cent can be attributed to leadership at the district level (25 per cent), and at the school level (25 per cent).

Mark Musca, superintendent of school effectiveness, spoke to the board about the Leadership Development Strategy.

“The Ontario Leadership Framework describes what good leadership looks like, and is based on evidence of what makes the most difference to student achievement and well-being,” explained Musca. “The evidence base for this rationale was provided through an extensive review of current research on educational leadership.”

The board’s leadership development steering committee plans programs, organizes workshops, and assists in the development of the overall leadership plan.

In addition, the committee runs an extensive mentorship program for recently appointed principals and

Before and after school and daycare programs update The 2014-2015 school year is the fifth and final year of the phased-in implementation of full-day kindergarten (FDK) in Ontario. With the implementation of FDK the board has experienced an increase in the number of before and after school programs for four and five year olds.

The programs are offered through agreements with third party operators and a number of the sites also offer programs for 6 to 12-year-olds.

Tom Jordan, Early Years lead and superintendent of school effectiveness, presented an update on the before and after school daycare program, also known as the extendedday program, to the board.

“The extended-day program document, published by the Ministry of Education, provides the vision and direction toward a seamless and consistent experience for children,” explained Jordan.

“It is offered before the core day program begins, and continues at the

Areas of primary concern include hot work (grinding or welding), unapproved projects involving high-risk activities, machine safety, compressed air systems, and other potential hazards (electrical, chemical, and proper use of equipment). In addition, housekeeping (trips, slips and falls), guardrails, material handling and electrical safety are also addressed.

Personal protective equipment is also covered in the guideline, with a focus on safety glasses, hearing protection, foot protection, and fire extinguishers.

Moving forward the document will be reviewed annually, along with other board safety policies and procedures, and online Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) training will be provided to specific high-risk groups.

A review of the approved project list and improvements to the risk assessment processes and procedures have been evaluated and addressed by a team of technology teachers.

end of the day. It compliments and is aligned with the core program, and is delivered by Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs).”

The extended-day program utilizes play-based learning to provide a balance of investigation, exploration, guided explicit instruction, independent activities, quiet times and outdoor play.

In addition, it makes use of shared resources and shared common space.

Ontario school boards are required to provide extended-day programs for kindergarten students where there is committed interest from the families of at least 20 students. Currently, the CDSBEO offers extended-day programs at 11 schools. Schools are surveyed in early spring to determine requirements for the upcoming school year.

This Week’s Pets

Minou and Robin Hi again! Minou here. I am a black mask cat... you wonder why? Because my cute head looks like I am wearing a black mask over my white head. I also have a fun black mark right in the middle of my face. I am rather large, but very sweet. They say I am about 4.5-years-old.

I love using the scratch pole so it would be wise to have one available for me.

Other than that I have no explicit wishes, just a friendly home, good food and a warm

these things happen, as well for the family as the cats.

They grew up together and were very content in their home. We feel they should be adopted together as they truly are a pair.

Both are mainly black, one with a few white hairs the other with some faded grey/ white stripes on the belly.

Please come and meet these two lovely ladies.

Thank you for your con-

tinued support. Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or 613-283-9308.

This week’s featured pets Three weeks back we wrote about barn cats being available. Meanwhile two have been adopted and will go to their forever barn soon.

We do have a few more cats who would be happier in a barn than in a home. If you’re considering barn cats, please come and check them out before the cold sets in, so they can get used to their barn and surroundings. Many, many cute kittens have been adopted over the last few months.

We thank you for that! It always means that the adult bed will do. cats are being overlooked for My friend Robin is a a while. black mask cat too. He’s a bit younger than I am, about three-years-old, I heard them saying. Robin is large but not as big as I am. Robin purrs and sweet talks a lot, always flirting with the ladies.

Dante Dante was brought to us in the spring by a nice lady who kept him alive outside during the cold winter months. Dante had adapted very well being with other cats but lately he is showing some sign of stress.

He is clearly not enjoying this sheltered life with so many other cats he has to share his bed and food bowls with.

He’s very laid back, loves attention and is longing for a private mistress whom he can share a house with. Please come and meet Dante, he really deserves a good home.

Community - Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the Perth Community Choir’s (PCC) exuberant production of Lionel Bart’s hit musical Oliver!

Adopted from the novel by Charles Dickens, this beloved classical musical has enthralled first week audiences with its timeless tale of a young orphan’s quest to find home and family in Victorian London. Dickens’ larger-than-life characters sing and dance their way into your heart with iconic songs including “Food, Glorious Food,” “Who Will Buy?” and “As Long As He Needs Me.” Oliver! has long been a family favourite and a wonderful choice to introduce younger audience members to the joy of live theatre. Oliver Twist is a young orphan who lives in a workhouse. When he disrupts a meagre meal with the iconic line, “Please sir, I want some more”, he is sold to a family of undertakers. Oliver eventually escapes and meets up with the delightful rogue, the Artful Dodger, who in turn introduces him to Fagin. Fagin’s plans to turn Oliver into a master thief and pickpocket are soon derailed and his life of crime is brought to an end when Nancy, at great personal sacrifice, re-unites Oliver with his long-lost grandfather. The tale of good triumphing over evil unfolds with humour and suspense and the happy ending that will warm the heart of audience members of all ages. Many of the show’s themes are very current to the 21st century and the music is familiar and timeless.

The PCC’s high energy production is directed by David Bird and features a cast of over 30 people. Kristy TaitAngel and Chris Angel play Nancy and the villainous Bill Sykes. Gary Welsh, Caitlin Doyle, Adam Reid, Caitlin Morton, Ally Henley, David Parry and Andrew Wake all bring a touch of humour to the unfolding drama delivering strong character roles.

Oliver, the hero of the story, is played alternately by Madison Miernik and Hilary Fournier and the Artful Dodger is played by Andrew Kryskow. Prepared to be delighted and charmed by the younger chorus members playing the pickpockets and scallywags. The professional quality orchestra features ten members under the direction of Don MacKay. The PCC’s Oliver! opened at the Perth and District High School on Oct. 24 and the near sold-out audiences have been enthusiastic in their standing ovations.

“I was so caught up in the story I was laughing one minute and then found myself crying at Oliver’s plight the next,” reported one audience member.

Oliver! continues this week with performances beginning on Thursday, Oct. 30 through to Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and a final matinee on Sunday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. What better way to celebrate Halloween then with the whole family watching costumed period theatre! Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and students, $10 for

Replay the Beatles hit Gallipeau Centre Theatre in Smiths Falls on Nov. 8 Wonderband and many others.

They have performed and toured as professional musicians and studio session players since the early ‘70s and have performed all over Canada, the US and internationally. Their two-hour show includes costume changes and spans the early Beatles years right up to the early ‘70s.

“Their show is a Beatles rock concert, instead of the usual Beatles shows which are more tributey,” said Kristina Timms, cultural animator with the City of Beaconsfield, Quebec.

According to Timms, the City of Beaconsfield has been booking Replay for their regular summer concerts because they’re such a crowd pleaser and have increased attendance at the festival from audiences of 300 to more than 1,000.

“They’re a huge crowd pleaser, they brought us a bigger audience at our summer shows and we’ve brought them back every years since 2010 not just for our summer shows but for our bigger concerts,” said Timms.

Like so many good things Replay got together by accidental design and simply jelled. Each of the four musicians simply took on the role of the Beatle whose instrument they play and it’s just coin-

cidence that they manage to look like the original band members once they’re in costume. Their attention to detail is legendary and extends to their sound – they always provide their own sound technician at every show.

“It’s a bit like asking a chef to make a soufflé, if they don’t know what it is they won’t be able to make it. It’s the same with the sound, you have to know what the Beatles sounded like so you can recreate that sound for the audi-

ence,” said John Oriettas, a.k.a.

Paul McCartney and the band leader.

“We want to make sure that the sound is original, so it’s modern sound quality but the guitars and drums sound just like the Beatles,” he added.

The band will of course cover all the good old favourites like She Loves you, Help!, Yesterday, Penny Lane, Get Back, Hey Jude and at least 30 more.

“If you’re a Beatles fan, you will R0012766148_0626

Arts – Anyone who has seen this band has been absolutely blown away by their authenticity and not in the copycat sense either. Replay the Beatles are by all accounts Canada’s most authentic Beatles tribute band.

“The comedy and ad-libbing between them [the band members] was original as opposed to some bands who give us just the expected lines,” wrote Admiral Newt, in a Beatles fanzine.

Replay the Beatles will be in Smiths Falls and performing at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 8 for one night only, starting at 8 p.m.

Their exciting and compelling Beatles tribute, manages to capture the aura and magnetism of the original Fab Four according to those who have seen them.

“They’re the closest thing you’ll get to The Beatles, they look just like them and sound like them.

They’re so tight and so good. It’s a great show,” said Jim Bray, account executive with Lake 88, who has seen Replay twice when they’ve played Perth and Brockville over the last three years.

The Montreal band have been together for about 12 years and have shared the stage with Andre-Phillpe Gagon, Hedley, The Trews, State of Shock, Boogie

feel like you’ve seen the Beatles,” said Oriettas. “If you don’t know the Beatles, it’s a fun night.”

Replay is by all accounts, reviews and testimonials a ‘must see’ show, and tickets are $39.50 so drop by the Gallipeau Centre Box office or call 613-205-1493 to book your seat for Nov. 8. You can also purchase tickets online at www.gallipeaucentretheatre.ca through ticketpro. See you there.

Arts – Premiering Oct. 30 for a four-show run, Perth’s Studio theatre will once again present An Evening of One-Act Plays.

It’s more than an outstanding evening of entertainment – at least one of the plays will go on to be the Studio Theatre’s entry in the prestigious Eastern Ontario Drama League (EODL) OneAct Play Festival, which will be hosted this year by the Domino Theatre in Kingston. The Studio Theatre has been part of the EODL festival since 2009, when it hosted the event for the first time.

That year, Joanna McAuley won an acting award for her role in Would You Like A Cup of Tea? The following year she won another acting award for her amazing portrayal of an 82-yearold actress in The Last Act is a Solo. Since then, the Studio Theatre has won awards every year at the festival, and this year the theatre’s winning ways will no doubt continue.

One-act plays have become a training ground for new directors at the Studio Theatre. Under the guidance of an experienced mentor, those who have never directed before have a chance to work on a short play, rather than face the demands of a full-length play.

That does not necessarily mean these people are inexperienced in stagecraft. For instance, one of the new directors this year is a young man who is well known to Perth audiences, Lucas Tennant.

Lucas had acted in almost every festival play the Studio Theatre has produced thus far, winning either an ensemble award or honourable mentions.

But this year he has donned a different hat by taking on the role of the director, and he also wrote the music for the show.

Who does Lucas have in the cast? None other than Joanna McAuley, who won the first award in 2009, and veteran Juli Heney who played a multitude of roles in Old Love (along with Lucas and Grey Masson who directs the second play of the evening). An awesome cast to start his directing career.

The play Lucas has chosen to direct is A Bench at the Edge by Luigi Jannuzzi. In it, a person sits on a bench at the edge of an abyss. Along comes a second person, contemplating “a heroic dive.” Their repartee, the meaning of where they really are and what they are really there for, draws out the humor and conflict of the edge. What is the abyss, and what are these people doing here? Comic and terrifying concepts mix with these lives that are drawn to the edge, the confrontations here, and the conclusion that life is precious after all.

Halloween means parents and drivers should focus on ghosts and goblins in their neighbourhoods. This means drivers need to slow down in residential areas and parents need to show their children safe pedestrian practices.

“With it getting darker outside earlier, Halloween is a great time for parents and children to talk about pedestrian safety, especially when it comes to crossing the street,” says Louise Logan, Parachute’s president and chief executive officer.

“Set a good example, practice with your

children and make road safety part of your conversation.”

Parachute offers parents, children and drivers these tips for a safe Halloween: • An adult or responsible older child should accompany children, under age nine, since they may lack the skills to cross the street on their own.

• Teach your child to stop at the curb, look left, right and left again, and to listen for oncoming traffic.

• Select costumes with bright colours to increase your child’s visibility and choose face paint instead of masks.

• Always cross at crosswalks, street corners or intersections – it’s unsafe to cross between parked cars or other obstacles.

• Stay on the sidewalk when walking from house to house, and if there is no sidewalk, walk beside the road, facing traffic so drivers can see you.

Bill Murray thrives as St. Vincent RLHS final meeting of year Nov. 5 MOVIE: St. Vincent STARRING: Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts, Chris O’Dowd and Jaeden Lieberher DIRECTOR: Theodore Melfi RATING: 14A Entertainment – An alcoholic, bitter, old man babysits a young boy after school. It sounds like the kind of typical outrageous comedy Hollywood is so fond of. St. Vincent is anything but typical.

On the surface Vincent (Bill Murray) is a cantankerous old man. He doesn’t like people and people generally don’t like him.

If you look beneath the surface you’ll see a deeply flawed individual. Vincent drinks too much, gambles too much, swears too much, and is angry most of the time. It makes one wonder why Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) lets Vincent look after her son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher).

To be fair Maggie doesn’t have a lot of options. She and Oliver have moved into the house next to Vincent because she left her cheating husband.

She has to work a lot, and with Oliver starting at a new school things aren’t easy. Maggie was a little desperate to find someone to watch Oliver after school, and

My Take

Mark haskins

Vincent was a little desperate for the money.

Strangely Oliver and Vincent bond. Vincent takes Oliver to the track, the bar, and teaches him how to fight. He introduces Oliver to Daka (Naomi Watts), the pregnant prostitute with whom he spends his Tuesdays. In turn Oliver seems to be the only friend Vincent has. It’s Oliver who’s able to look past the surface, and all the flaws, and see the saint underneath.

St. Vincent asks what makes a saint a saint. The film goes on to answer that question by presenting us with what seems like the most unlikely of candidates.

At first glance Vincent is the stereotypical degenerate old man.

However, as the film moves forward we get to know Vincent.

We laugh, we cry, we look on in shock, and we watch in awe as we’re taught not to judge the book just by its cover. We learn

that being a saint doesn’t mean you have to be perfect.

I would imagine it’s not easy to play a pregnant prostitute whose best costumer is someone like Vincent. Yet Naomi Watts pulls it off with a grace and humour that really shines.

It’s always a risk for an actor to break type and do something different from what their fans expect. Melissa McCarthy takes that risk and it pays off huge.

Chris O’Dowd plays Brother Geraghty. As a priest and Oliver’s teacher he brilliantly provides both wisdom and humour.

It’s amazing to see someone so young deliver such a moving and compelling performance.

Jaeden Lieberher is an outstanding young talent. His chemistry with Murray is phenomenal, and his connection with the audience is incredible.

Bill Murray inhabits this role as only Bill Murray can. Vincent is both uncomplicated and complicated. Murray throws his entire being into this role, and gives one of the most sensitive, funny and heartwarming performances of his career.

St. Vincent is a fascinating character and a fascinating film.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Community – Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society welcomes Colleen Kahrman of Hidden Garden Floral Designs in Newboro to its final meeting of the year, Wednesday, Nov. 5. Colleen will be bringing the newest fresh and decorative products to demonstrate how to put together a traditional Christmas display.

Then, taking the same basic types of products, she will give tips on how to create a one-ofa-kind arrangement, customized to one’s preferences, venue or occasion, in, if you like, a more modern, distinctive, even edgy style.

Colleen has degrees in floriculture and horticulture from the University of Massachusetts, and 15 years of experience in the industry, both in the USA and Canada. Over the last seven years, she has acquired numerous corporate clients throughout southeastern Ontario, for whom she designs all seasonal displays, from concept to comple-

tion. Colleen also offers seasonal workshops on flower arranging, current offerings described on her website at http://www.hiddengarden.ca/workshops.

The Nov. 5 meeting is also the society’s annual general meeting. President John Carley will be stepping down after four very successful years of office. The society thanks John for his leadership over the past two years into new areas of interest such as pollinator gardens, edible trees and activism to encourage organic agriculture and discourage the use of genetically engineered seeds and food.

Any member of the public can join the society and volunteer on the executive, which currently has several vacancies including the president and vice-president positions. All that is required is to attend the November meeting at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Hall, accompanied by a nominator.

Dec. 3 is the society’s annual Christmas dinner, to be held at

the Westport Legion, with catering by Kudrinko’s Foods.

Following dinner, Celtic Combination will entertain. Cash donations for local food banks may be offered at the door.

There will be door prizes, as well as the annual draw for the early bird membership for those who have renewed their membership with or joined the society on or before Dec. 3.

Membership is $15 per year and entitles members to participate in the election of the executive and attend eight evenings of fine speakers and refreshments April to November the first Wednesday of the month.

Tickets for the Christmas dinner are $25 and are available at the November meeting, as well as through the society’s secretary, Susan Bowen at 613273-4861 or susanmbowen66@ gmail.com.

Beverley McFarlane is the new CEO at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, replacing Linda Bisonette, who retires Oct. 31.

Hospital’s new CEO ready to fly solo Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Two heads are better than one, but, starting next week, Beverley McFarlane, the new president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, will be flying solo.

While she arrived at the hospital to take up her reins on Oct. 6, her predecessor, Linda Bisonette, is still on the job, providing several weeks of over-

lap. When meeting with her on the morning of Thursday, Oct. 23, she is just coming out of a board meeting at the Smiths Falls site, and, the name of Bisonette, whose last day is tomorrow (Oct. 31), is still on the door of the president’s office. McFarlane does not yet have a key to the office, so the interview takes place in a smaller all-purpose office down the hall.

News - The Smiths Falls Police are concerned about the safety of everyone this Halloween and have provided some tips to help make this Friday night safer for all involved.

Children should be accompanied by an adult; wear clothing that can easily be seen at night.

Retro-reflective materials are best.

Children should trick or treat in one wellknown area and not wander into unknown neighborhoods and all candy should be inspected

At this time Max Finklestein will update the audience on his recent Capital to Capital Voyageur Canoe Expedition aimed at increasing awareness of river protection between Canada and the United States.

Be sure to mark your calendars for these upcoming events and be part of the discussion.

News - A shift in political landscape and local development opportunities has put food sustainability in Smiths Falls and area on the table, and will be the focus of a Nov. 6 discussion at the Smiths Falls Community Health Centre.

The public is welcome to take part in the Nov. 6 evening presentation (7-9 p.m.) at 2 Gould St. The discussion will take place in the Kilmarnock room of the health centre with Jim Birtch leading the discussion on what is possible when it comes to food sustainability. Peter Au of the Rideau Roundtable, who is hosting the discussion, pinpointed the creation of the Two Rivers Food Hub at the Gallipeau Centre and the presence of a new mayor, new town staff and new Official Plan as creating the right environment for real change to occur.

“How can we create a culture of sustainability for Smiths Falls and area,” Au added. “Because of the opportunity we have here in Smiths Falls it makes it more intense.”

The existence of the food hub and community gardens at the Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) on William Street demonstrates the desire of the region to create food sustainability locally. The hope is Birtch’s one-hour discussion and Q&A session will guide this de-

velopment. Birtch is the founder of the Ottawa Biosphere Eco-City Council and a 2002 recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal. Au explained Birtch was at the forefront of discussion around biospheres in the 1970’s, adding biosphere speaks to the atmosphere that is needed to sustain life.

“Jim was in tune with this very early,” Au said.

He has written academic papers on the subject, which has subsequently been accepted by UNESCO and has spoken at length of the importance of food sustainability for decades. Following the formal presentation and Q&A, participants will then take part in a workshop that strives to answer the question of what food sustainability will look like in the region.

to make sure that no one has tampered with it. If it looks suspicious, the police should be contacted.

Children should wear masks that do not interfere with vision, or use makeup.

Watch for moving vehicles when crossing streets and wear costumes that are short enough that the child will not trip. Carry a flashlight.

last four years created a lot of gaps in terms of who received their ballots to vote.

Malcolm Morris, CAO introduced the voting results Monday night explaining the 20-minute delay as the result of the town’s website going down from the traffic it was receiving.

“We’ll sort that out too, shortly,” Morris said.

When the names were ultimately displayed on the screen returning councillors Lorraine Allen (2,204), Dawn Quinn (1,923), Jay Brennan (1,746), and Chris Cummings (1,699) were joined by new councillors Joe Gallipeau (2,149) and John Maloney (1,628). Maloney was surprised by the large margin Pankow won by, and pledged to be part of the change the town wants to see.

“I think the town sent a very clear message that they wanted change and the message was received,” Maloney added.

“Town council meetings will never be the same.”

The downtown business owner and first-time councillor was so pleased with his new municipal position Monday night he shouted out “No more Robert’s Rules it’s John’s rules,” to the arena crowd.

The following day, Maloney explained this comment by adding: “I want to bring some excitement and some life” to council.

Joe Gallipeau received the second highest voter support behind Lorraine Allen with 2,149 votes.

“I’m glad the people supported me,” Gallipeau added. “I’ll do my very best to make sure that I keep my promises.”

Pankow expected to see his incumbent colleagues return to the horseshoe and welcomes both Maloney and Gallipeau to the mix.

“I think they are going to be a great addition,” he said.

“It was a good council elected,” added outgoing mayor Dennis Staples. “I look forward to working with Shawn as mayor-elect.”

Pankow is eager to glean any insight Staples has to share with him, saying he looks forward to “ongoing guidance and mentoring” from the career mayor.

“I have great respect for Dennis and the commitment he’s made in the last 29 years.”

Going forward, Maloney is hoping to bring some accountability to the table, and this will begin with the upcoming budget session.

“I think we’re going to have to go through it,” Maloney said.

He would like to see the budget cut but stopped short of identifying a way towards that goal, saying he needs to see the numbers.

Exactly what those numbers will be is something mayorelect Pankow will be watching closely, saying the town still isn’t sure if they will finish 2014 in a deficit or surplus position.

“With budget time we need to be prepared to deal with the challenges,” Pankow said.

Budget constraints may have an impact on negotiations with neighbouring communities when it comes to the subject of recreation cost sharing and the water rate in Atironto.

“I’m open-minded to a dialogue and conversation,” Pankow said of the water issue. “I’m very cautious to do anything that could result in a higher cost to Smiths Falls.”

Happy Haunting!

“I think it has worked very well. I’ve been included in everything,” she said, as witnessed by recent decisions about preparedness for any Ebola cases that may present themselves at either campus.

“It always isn’t the norm,” she admitted, of having the incoming and outgoing CEOs tag-teaming in running the hospital. “Working side-by-side with Linda has been a pleasure.”

Just as Perth and Smiths Falls’ sites are linked, she too is coming from a similar organization – Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAH), which has sites in Huntsville and Bracebridge.

Her most recent post there was as the chief of quality and chief nursing executive. Before this, she had served as the director of nursing and diagnostic services.

ics, recommends the township excavate and repair the noise source. Glen Barnes, CAO of Montague said they have received quotes on sending a camera into the pipes on Fifth Avenue to confirm if there is a leak present, but is also gathering information on the potential of dysfunctional water meters.

“We want to make sure we understand the situation,” Barnes said. “We’ve got a lot of technical people working on it.”

The range of pricing for camera work is not being released until council receives it during a November update by staff. He notes any cost for repair will

The MAH had gone through a merger in 2005-06, and, having started that day in Smiths Falls, and planning to spend the afternoon in Perth, “this feels very familiar,” she said. “I have worked in a two-site organization” which also had two emergency rooms, two auxiliaries, and two foundations.

“That is one of the things that attracted me to Smiths Falls/Perth, working in a two-site organization, getting to know people,” she said.

She is currently leasing a home in Perth, but is looking for a more permanent home in either town – joking that she may settle in Port Elmsley just to be located between both towns – once her paramedic husband is able to sell their home in the Muskoka region.

Her two children are also involved in the medical field. Her daughter is a respiratory therapist in the Quinte region, while her son works in Carleton Place

as a welder fabricator on ambulances.

Though born in Kingston, she has a lot of family in the Seeley’s Bay area, so, “this feels like truly coming home for me.” She said she looks forward to spending more time with her plethora of first cousins in the coming years.

She grew up in Sudbury, where her father was an educator, before the family moved to the Muskoka region when she was a teenager. She attended Seneca College in Toronto where she graduated from the registered nurse program.

Afterwards, she worked in Vancouver, Toronto and Lindsay, Ont., before becoming the manager for the Intensive Care Unit at the Huntsville hospital.

“In my naïveté, I said, ‘Sure!’,” she recalls with a laugh of a woman in her late 20s taking on such a big role. But it made her realize that being a good manager; really was about leadership and not just based on longevity. In later

fall on the shoulders of Atironto residents.

A meeting scheduled for this week with a company named Neptune will shed some more light on the possibility of a data collection error in the water meters. Lavier questions the information coming from her water meter.

September’s $708 bill had her usage at 157.5A compared to 88.5A for an earlier bill of $463 though Lavier said there hasn’t been any changes to her family’s daily activities and no pool, car washing or watering of grass this summer. This leads her to believe there is an external cause to her bill be it the meter or the physical infrastructure.

“Obviously, there’s something because I’m not doing anything differently than I did a year ago,” Lavier said.

The Atironto homeowner has done a thorough search for leaks in her home and found nothing. She questions the higher water rate for Atironto residents versus their Smiths Falls counterparts, adding she plans to be at one of the first meetings of the new council to demand action be taken.

“Hopefully they do something,” Lavier said.

Barnes said the new council will be briefed on the water issue and any updates from the township’s application for infrastructure funding to help cover

McFarlane said she is grateful that some of the groundwork for a more sustainable financial future for the hospital has already been laid out.

“The organization has done a lot of hard work over the years,” she said, and with it, “brought a lot of stability,” financially, organizationally and otherwise.

She stressed that she does not intend to bring sweeping changes to the hospital, but instead seeks “maintaining the stability and look at patient and familycentred care.”

With Queen’s Park battling to fight its large budget deficit, and with health care funding making up 42 per cent of

the provincial budget, she is under no illusions about the future of health care funding in Ontario.

“It’s going to challenge us,” she said, before noting that funding for hospitals is moving from what she calls a “traditional model” to “price volume,” where maintenance of services is rewarded – as is efficiency. For example, 30 per cent of the funding to the hospital comes through “quality-based procedures.”

“My early look at the books says we are doing very well in those categories,” she said of the need to find efficiencies and effectiveness in the hospital.

While cutting 12 hospital beds, for example, which happened during Bisonette’s term of office, is a tangible example, McFarlane said that the new funding based on efficiency could also be documented and measured in a tangible way.

One example is length of stay, followed by making sure that they are “not readmitted two days later.” Other boxes the costs of any repairs needed (which that can get ticked off – or not – along they hope to hear back from in late No- the way can include, “Did they (the pavember, early December). tient) have a follow-up appointment?”

All area schools on “hold and secure” for first time News – For the first time ever, all schools in the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) were put on a yellow alert following the shooting incidents in Ottawa on Oct. 22.

The “hold and secure” orders were lifted at public schools throughout the region around the noon hour, though they continued to operate on a “heightened state of supervision,” according to a statement from the UCDSB. The statement went on to say that “we have been in contact with the Ottawa Police who have advised that the lockdown is in a small area of Ottawa only, and we can remove the hold and secure. All UCDSB schools will remain in a heightened state of supervision, but the school day will continue as normal. All of our students, staff and visitors remain safe.”

“We may be accused of spreading panic,” said UCDSB trustee Bill MacPherson during an interview that afternoon. “(But) you’re far better off to be overly cautious. This is the first time we have done this, systemwide,” he said, though individual schools have gone on lockdown before.

“I think it is a good response,” he said. He explained that the schools are on the first stage of a lock-down, which involves “taking kids off of the playground,” though they may still be allowed to use the gym. “They are contained within the classroom.”

All exterior doors were locked, and “it’s a heightened awareness of what is happening on the perimeter of the school,” said MacPherson. “That’s the way the system is supposed to work.”

He commended the board’s instant notification system, which told principals that the lock down was happening, “no questions asked.

Now,” followed by a request for immediate information on how many students, if any, were on field trips that day to Ottawa.

MacPherson represents Ward 2, which cov-

ers rural areas like Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Montague, Tay Valley and Perth, and he is concerned about how terrorist events could be carried out against a rural school.

“You take a rural school and they are very vulnerable,” he said. “When you are dealing with an extremist, there is no common sense to it.”

Coincidentally, there was a board meeting scheduled for that night, and “I can guarantee you that this will be discussed tonight at the board meeting,” he said.

He noted that he did not know how many kids were on field trips to Ottawa that day and, if they were, if they were going to the Parliament Hill area.

Catholic board While the public board had lifted its alert by lunchtime, members of the Almonte and District High School (ADHS) senior boys football team were all suited up and ready to play their game against St. John Catholic High School in Perth – but were locked inside their rivals’ school, as the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario had not lifted its alert in the run up to the 1 p.m. game today.

However, the countywide volleyball tournament at St. John Catholic High School was still ongoing in the school’s gym.

The Catholic alert was lifted soon after 1 p.m. that day, and the St. John versus ADHS game went ahead, a half-an-hour late.

St. John’s principal, Dave Chaplin, told The Perth Courier that the hold and secure status was still in place until they received word from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. St. John Catholic Elementary School in Perth was also in lockdown at the noon hour as well.

David Lo, a resident of downtown Ottawa and a volleyball referee at the tournament at St. John Catholic High School, told The Perth

Courier that, as the man who assigns referees to schools from Ottawa to Lanark and PrescottRussell, he had received a message from his governing body not to schedule any referees until further notice. Lo said he had already arrived in Perth and the players were ready to play, so it was game on.

Letter to parents That evening, Charlotte Patterson, the UCDSB’s director, sent a letter home with students to their parents about the shootings.

“We are saddened by today’s tragic events which, due to our proximity to Ottawa, caused us to place our schools in a ‘hold and secure’ for approximately one hour earlier today, whereby exterior doors were locked but normal activities continue within the school,” Patterson wrote in the Oct. 22 letter. Once the UCDSB had received information from the Ottawa Police Service that “the specific area of threat was contained to the immediate area surrounding Parliament Hill,” the order was lifted.

“Nonetheless, a heightened state of awareness and supervision has been maintained. While events like this are extremely rare, we recognize the impact that they can have on each of us through sadness, grief, helplessness or other emotions.”

Patterson stressed that “our top priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. If you are concerned about the emotional well-being of your child, as always, you are encouraged to speak with your school principal or vice-principal.”

ifestyle - My heart is full.

Everything makes me cry these days. The way his grandson smells when I cuddle him… the softness of his skin under a fuzzy blue blanket, swaddled in a little Winnie the Pooh sleeper I couldn’t resist.

What a difference six months has made. One minute, I’m cleaning out the closets of my grandmother’s – and the next, I’m smack-dab in the middle of a “relationship” again… but it’s a good thing. A really good thing.

I didn’t think that having a grandchild would ever happen, since I didn’t have children.

Decades later, in walks my guy.

Swaggers really… over to my place one day as I was cleaning closets and breaking windows (accidentally). I was making a trip to the shed in my not-soSunday-best when our eyes met across the yard. Just like the smoky saloon days – only there was no smoke, no saloon, and no beer.

I wish I could have melted into the ground because I sure felt underwhelming in my attire. He was shirtless (it was the end of May and gorgeous) and all I could do was fix a stupid grin on my face.

“Hi, I’m your neighbour,” he says.

Hand outstretched for a shake. I accepted. We chatted up a storm for a few minutes, then parted ways. I was intrigued by him and his Newfoundland accent.

The next time I saw him was a couple tickets, please call: 613-283-6311. If you have an old photo to share, please email our news editor, Laurie days later when he popped in to invite me for a barbecue. I accepted. Conversation Weir, at ljweir@metroland.com. flowed. He was the perfect gentleman.

It wasn’t long after that first barbecue

The circle completes LAURIE WEIR Weir View that I found myself in the middle of this newfound relationship.

Soon after that he introduced me to his son and family – with a baby on the way. Mom-to-be was only four months pregnant. Bi-weekly dinners became the norm with them. Here was my extended family. I was now in a relationship with this man and his kids accepted me as one of the gang.

But nothing prepared me for the moment when his son and daughterin-law invited me to the hospital to be there when William was born. This was just too much. William? That’s my dad’s name.

Sept. 17 came and went in a blur and armed with my Canon, I was able to capture some special moments with the family. William was a healthy little person. So tiny, so perfect.

Just last weekend, the kids were home for Sunday dinner with Dad and I – moose stew and cod tongue.

Good Lord. That tongue stuff just about did me in, but the stew was great. I did mention that my guy is a Newfoundlander… cod and moose are some of their favourites.

But that wasn’t the best part of the weekend… the best part was when Mom placed little William in my arms and called me Nana. Emotional overload… circle complete.

Rail transit still moving forward DEAR EDITOR: Editor’s Note: This is an open letter addressed to Smiths Falls mayor and councillors that was submitted on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2014.

As your current term comes to a close, we wish to thank you for consistent support towards railway integration of whole-region transit.

We offer a special farewell to Dennis [Staples] for your coherent platform and effort during your considerable tenure as mayor. We hope to keep in touch.

Moose Inc. has begun to gain some consistent traction in Ottawa, with a number of invitations to present at electionrelated and other events in the city. Some

recent presentations are posted at http:// www.letsgomoose.com and http://www. openrailproperty.org We believe Moose Inc.’s initiative is complementary to the transportation and social goals of each of the municipalities of the greater National Capital region. Our firm is not attempting to compete with the municipalities for any provincial or federal funding.

We look forward to collaboration with the next mayor and council of Smiths Falls.

All the best to each of you.

Lest we forget

DEAR EDITOR:

We will never forget.

It’s just a little flower/Painted green and red/It reminds us of veterans/Both living and the dead.

In the year of ’39/Young men went off to war/ Some of them came back again/Others will return no more.

These young men gave their lives/So freedom they could save/Now they’re buried over there/In the unknown soldier’s grave.

It is now November/And thoughts they turn to snow/But let’s remember Flanders Field/Where the poppies grow.

News – Perth’s Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, himself a naval veteran, has condemned the murder of a soldier guarding the National War Memorial.

“Sadly, the terrorism that has been unfolding around the world has, at last, reached our shores,” he wrote in an email to The Perth Courier on the afternoon of the terrorist attack. “The attacks on members of our military and our seat of government… was done to send a message. Any loss of life is terrible but when taken in a scenario like this it is even more difficult to understand.”

Corporal Nathan Cirillo, 24, a reservist member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, based in Hamilton, Ont., was killed as he stood on honourary guard duty at the memorial in downtown Ottawa last week.

Just days earlier, two members of the Canadian Forces were intentionally rammed by an Islamist extremist driving a car southeast of Montreal. One of the service members, 53-year-old Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, died as a result of his injuries.

As the second vice-president of the Perth-Upon-Tay branch 224 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Gemmell said that the soldier’s death made it “a sad day for all Canadians,” and he wondered if Remembrance Day being just under three weeks away had anything to do with the timing of either attack.

“The Royal Canadian Legion’s mandate is the well being of veterans, serving members of the Armed Forces, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the murdered soldiers family, as well as the soldier injured a few days ago in Quebec,” wrote Gemmell. “All Canadians now know that things will never be the same in Canada.”

Perth council reacts Perth Mayor John Fenik said in a press release that, on behalf of the town council and the citizens of the town, he was sending a letter to Governor General David Johnston expressing condolences.

“Both of these men stood for this country and will not be forgotten,” Fenik was quoted as saying.

“Terrorism has reached our shores and we have every confidence and respect for the men and women of the Canadian armed forces who fight for our freedom. We will never be intimidated by these senseless acts of terror.”

The Canadian flag at Perth town hall flew at half-staff for days after the attacks in memory of the two soldiers, and a book of condolences was placed in the town hall lobby in their memory.

“We’d have a vastly different downtown if we didn’t have that,” Mr. Lex said.

Another benefit was the creation of the Collingwood chapter of Architectural Conservancy of Ontario.

“I think it’s a very useful group to have in the community to work with the heritage committee,” Mr. Lex said.

News - Realizing what is possible and translating those successes into the context of Smiths Falls was part of the take-away from this year’s Heritage Symposium.

A full day of speakers discussed the art of breathing new life into old buildings at the Station Theatre Oct. 20 where attendees included Marc Gravelle of Hotel Rideau. Gravelle left the symposium energized with new knowledge on government grants and the overall passion that exists in Smiths Falls to preserve its architectural history for future generations.

“I don’t think there’s anybody not united,” Gravelle said.

He sees his project, The Hotel Rideau, as only one community initiative that will see a renaissance for the town as a whole.

“We are rebuilding the town pride of Smiths Falls one building at a time,” Gravelle added. “It’s everybody’s responposium at the Station Theatre Oct. 20. The annual event is held by the Municipal sibility to preserve these properties.”

See HERITAGE page SF13 He is passionate to see more buildings like his restored Heritage Committee. and is willing to meet with anyone interested in taking up this challenge to share his knowledge.

Sharing information was the focus of last week’s Heritage Royal Canadian Legion Br. 95 Symposium where Richard and Anke Lex of Collingwood Smiths Falls discussed their project - The Tremont, a former rail hotel that was converted into a cafe, art studios and condos.

“The parallels between that and our Hotel Rideau were A Community Bulletin Provided To Keep You Informed very strong,” commented Coun. Shawn Pankow during the Oct. 20 council session.

Like The Tremont, The Hotel Rideau was in danger of Meeting Schedule demolition and was vacant when Gravelle took ownership.

HERITAGE From page SF12

cil can’t vote to demolish. That is why it’s important to have the entire community on board.

Another critical piece of the puzzle is setting up signage policies and building standards such as maximum and (equally as important) minimum requirements. In downtown Collingwood this minimum is two stories.

Part of downtown Collingwood’s success story includes $8 million renovation to the downtown streetscape where sidewalks were widened and paving stones added. Smiths Falls has completed a downtown revitalization plan and has been waiting for matched funding from the provincial and federal government to complete the project.

Beckwith Street does connect highways

and so historically has qualified from matching funds from upper tier governments.

Irv Mazurkiewicz, president of the heritage committee, wrapped up the symposium by reminding town participants to keep the passion to see positive change.

“You need a lot of connection and a lot of groundswell to get some of these projects off the ground,” Mazurkiewicz said. “We certainly have that in Smiths Falls so keep that in mind.”

Many of the presenters at the symposium remarked at the beauty of the Station Theatre where the event took place.

“Anke and I are so inspired by it.

Congratulations on being able to save this and turn it into such a great use,” Mr. Lex said.

The couple is planning to open a theatre in Collingwood next spring. Mayor Dennis Staples remarked the Station Theatre came about after it was saved from demolition 16 years ago. From there, a dedicated group of volunteers painstakingly renovated the property to its current glory.

There is much Smiths Falls can be proud of, as Allen reported. She picked up symposium speaker, Jan Hawley who raved about the town, saying it had “good bones” and was heading in the right direction.

Allen added that as a resident, sometimes she takes things for granted, but now has a new appreciation for the beauty that others, like Hawley, see in town, especially the waterway.

“I came home feeling like a million bucks,” Allen said.

Smiths Falls Bears move into third place after two big wins Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – Thanks to two big wins in CCHL action last week, the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears have moved into third place of the Robinson Division.

The Bears clawed back from a two-goal deficit against the Brockville Braves Oct. 21 to take a 5-4 win at home in front of just 350 fans. They added to that win, a big shutout over the Hawkesbury Hawks on Friday night, in Hawkesbury.

Smiths Falls 3 Hawkesbury 0 Cole Skinner picked up a shutout victory Friday night in Hawkesbury as the Smiths Falls Bears earned a 3-0 win to extend their streak to four – six of their last seven games were in the win column.

Sebastien Barrette scored in the first period for the Bears, assisted by Daniel Lombardi at 19:300 of the period.

In the second, Devin Groulx found the twine on a power play marker, assisted by Ryan Duhaime and Neil Doef at 13:57.

With the empty net, unassisted counter, Doef scored the team’s third and final goal of the night with 17:38 on the clock.

Game stars were Snikkerm, Gunner Rivers (netminder for Hawkesbury) and Lombardi. The game was attended by 350 fans.

Smiths Falls 5 Brockville 4 It was the dream team line of Cole Busschaert, Doef and Groulx that had huge nights in the winning 5-4 effort by

the Bears over Brockville on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

It was a tic-tac-toe move from Doef to Groulx to Busschaert out front as he slapped in the winner with just seconds left in the game.

Both Doef and Groulx had two-goal, three-assist nights to take the first and second star honours with five points each.

Michael Pinios was replaced at the half-way point as the Bears were down 4-2. Cole Skinner earned the win in nets as he kept Brockville off the scoreboard for the remainder of the game.

The contest got a little chippy in the third which seemed to click for the Bears as they plowed through to score three unanswered goals for the two points.

Smiths Falls was tagged for 32 minutes for eight penalties while Brockville was ushered to the sin bin for 26 minutes on nine infractions.

The Bears (10-7-1-3 for 24 points) are just two points off second place in the Robinson Division. The Bears jumped ahead of Hawkesbury (11-9-1-0) and Brockville (10-7-1-1) with their wins last week. Carleton Place leads the division with 40 points (20-4) while Cornwall sits in second (12-6-1-1) with 26 points.

This week, the boys hosted Hawkesbury on Tuesday night, but results were not available at press time.

Friday, they host Cumberland at 7:30 p.m.

Brockville Braves goalie David Poirier was no match for the scoring machine of Kevin Groulx as he sunk this shot, breezing past Braves defender, Landon Gareau. At right, Groulx gives his ice mate, Neil Doef, high five for the assist.

Both had five-points nights.

Henderson up for provincial sports award Staff

Sports - Brooke Henderson’s exceptional 2013-2014 season has caught the attention of provincial sporting authorities, putting her in the running to be named the 2014 Ontario Athlete of the Year.

The public is encouraged to vote for their favourite athlete online at http://www.oshof.ca (left side of the home page) to help ensure Henderson receives the Syl Apps Award for this honour. Voting is open until Dec. 5, 2014.

The Smiths Falls golfer is up against some stiff competition, including Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors, Russel Martin of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays, Milos Raonic (tennis) Patrick Husbands (horse racing), and Cory Perry (Peterborough hockey).

If Henderson is successful in receiving the Syl Apps Award she will be just the second golfer to receive the honour and the youngest award winner in its 16-year history. Only one other golfer has earned the honour. Mike Weir has received the award three times, the first in 1999, 2000 and in 2003.

Girls got game

Sports - At the Ottawa RedBlacks games this season, the team hosts a variety of competitions to determine which side’s better, North or South. They pull people out of the stands during timeouts and have them catch footballs, kick field goals, run sprints to earn points for their side.

or Ontario based athletes.Those athletes can come from any sport and be amateur or professional in status. We are inclusive of all of Ontario’s athletes and would welcome Brooke as a special award winner,” said Alan Good, board member.

Voting for the award is conducted annually by the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame. Those eligible to vote include Ontario-based sports writers, broadcasters/personalities with at least 10-years covering sports in this province, members of the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame Board of Directors and the Hall’s Advisory Board. Points are awarded on a five, three and one point structure with voters asked to name their top three athletic performers on their ballot. To be eligible for the award, athletes must be Ontario-born or Ontario-based and made an outstanding and memorable contribution to Ontario sports during the previous calendar year.

Unveiled by the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame on Jan. 13, 1998, the SYL APPS Award is emblematic of Ontario’s Athlete of the Year. Named in honour of the former Toronto Maple Leafs’ captain and Olympic and Commonwealth Games pole vaulter Syl Apps, the award is the first of its kind for the Province of Ontario.

THE NEW 2015

Girls Night Out fans fill Hanley Hall Community - It was Girls Night Out last Thursday evening (Oct. 23) at Hanley Hall in Smiths Falls for the 175 women gathered for a fantastic fall fashion show. The evening was organized by Bena MacMillan and Linda McNeill and hosted by the Catholic Women’s League of St. Francis de Sales Smiths Falls and Blessed Sacrament Lombardy with all proceeds going to the Catholic Women’s League Convention Fund.

On entering Hanley Hall the beautiful floral arrangements in the entrance hall and at the runway were provided by Gemmell’s Flowers. Lights were dimmed and background music by Patty Webster and Hound Sound welcomed us into the room. The tables were beautifully decorated with pumpkin ornament centrepieces surrounded by sprinklings of colourful autumn leaves.

Fashions, many of which were Canadian, were supplied by two Merrickville stores (Oh La De Da owned by Terri Hamway and the Knock Knock Shoppe owned by Heather Dallaire).

The theme of the evening was Dress with Sophistication and the runway was alive with a constant procession of lovely women who agreed to model and demonstrate that you can love the woman you are and dress with style and confidence no matter what your shape or size.

The presentation was one of feminine elegance ranging from casual to formal wear in a multitude of style and colour and adorned with some unique accessories.

Steve Maddock, Hy Fund Studio, was kept busy circulating the room and capturing the highlights of the evening.

Two young men (Jarrod and Landon Kyle) dressed in tuxedos supplied by Conway Men’s wear in Perth and acted as escorts in assisting the models as they stepped down from the runway to circulate around the room. The opportunity to see the fashions up close was appreciated.

During intermission as we enjoyed a coffee break and the decadent desserts made by women of the parish, we were well entertained by Donny O’Neill, Andy Clarke (Country Music Hall of Fame inductees) and Ray Donnelly. Marie Claude

Akeson, consultant for Beauty Control had a display of her products set up for viewing. There was also a big rush to buy tickets for the 50/50 draw, which was won later in the evening by Lise D’Alessio.

Throughout the evening there was the opportunity to win several door prizes. From Rosalynne McFadden Jasper AB, a gift bag from Arbonne Skin and Health Solutions, a gift bag of Beauty Control products from Marie Claude Akeson, two gift certificates for a pedicure from Nails and Lashes in Ottawa, a $50 gift certificate from Oh La De Da and a wine basket from the Catholic Women’s League. Each woman in attendance was given 10 per cent off at both stores if they bring in their tickets.

The grand door prize was an amazing package for two and was won by Gail Brennan and includes an overnight stay at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa compliments of Frank Healey of Healey Transportation, along with dinner at the Westin Dining Room compliments of Joe Gallipeau, owner and real estate developer of Gallipeau Centre. Doorto-door limo service in the 11-foot white stretch limo is kindly provided by Brad Kyle owner of Town and Country Chrysler Ltd. and to top it all off, there is a free consultation, hair cut and style at Scissors Hair Salon in the Byward Market, Ottawa.

Congratulations Gail.

Without the help and generosity of so many people, this evening could not have been successful.

To Hugh Colton from Town and Country Chrysler Ltd. who got the word out early about this event, for the live radio advertising on Lake 88.1, thank you.

Our sincere thanks and appreciation goes to all who organized, participated, attended, took photos, provided music and donated prizes. A very special thank you goes to Terri Hamway and Heather Dallaire for bringing their fashions to us and to the lovely ladies who wore them.

In partnership with

The necessity of winter tires and how to store your classic cars for winter Lifestyle – While most of us get it when it comes to winter tires; A) we need them and B) we need four not two, there are still a few out there that think just two snow tires are sufficient to get us through a Canadian winter.

One of the clearest lessons I’ve come across to prove the need for four winter tires was delivered a few weeks back on a major US network morning news show.

A standard front wheel drive compact sedan was road-tested with two new summer tires on the front wheels and two worn tires (50 per cent tread remaining) on the rears.

After all, it only makes sense that if you’re putting just two new tires on the front of a front-wheel drive car, you’d put them on the front, right?

The car was then operated on a large flat circular test track that was slick with water at temperatures well above freezing.

The intrepid helmeted newscaster was only doing about 40 mph when the rear wheels of the vehicle lost traction without warning and put the vehicle into a spin.

When it was finally brought under control and to a stop, the equivalent of four lanes of highway had been crossed, leaving the driver to imagine what type of collision would have occurred on a crowded

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

freeway.

The test was then repeated with the new tires installed on the rear and the worn ones on the front. This time the driver was able to reach 55 mph under the same conditions and never lost control.

The reason given by the reporter; with the worn tires on the front, the handling was much more predictable and the steering feedback clearly indicated at what speed traction loss was imminent allowing time to ease of the gas pedal to avoid sliding or skidding.

This condition is only compounded when driving on ice or snow leading any professional tire retailer to install new tires on the rear of a front wheel, rear wheel, or all-wheel drive vehicle when a customer only wants two.

If you want to know why dear old dad or grandpa were able to make it

through winters with only two tires, consider the weight of their cars compared to today’s and the lower engine power those older sleds put out.

A thoughtful reader sent in these tips after I ran a piece on preparing classic and collector cars for winter storage. Thanks very much!

“Hi Brian, You provide such a great service to us – keep it up! Re: your recent item on “...winter storage up for discussion this week.” I have stored my two ‘boy toys’ (’79 MGB and ’01 Z3 3.0l) in unheated garage space for years. Have a couple of items to add to your list: • Use steel wool to block exhaust pipe and air intake hole – prevents critter nesting.

• Spread Bounce dryer sheets or mothballs around floor and car interior – deters critters.

• Over inflate tires (not to exceed max pressure limit) – reduces risk for tire flat spots.

• Fuel stabilizer in full fuel tank – prevents gasoline degradation.

Hope this is useful.

Thanks again.”

QG Ottawa Another great tidbit of feedback I received on another story came from a much closer source; one of my area neighbours.

After I ran a letter from a reader interested in retaining ownership of his ‘written-off’ car after a collision, my neighbour reminded me about his experience in doing the same thing and it was a long and arduous experience. First, he received what he considered a very fair cash settlement from his insurance firm.

Secondly he works in the trade so he had access to cheap parts and great body-shop labour rates.

At the end of the very long repair he had put a considerable amount of his own money in the job and found it very hard to find a shop that was qualified, licensed and willing to complete the required inspection.

In fact in the entire Ottawa area he only found one. If there was anything more detailed and difficult than the actual repair about these cases, it’s the paper work.

The inspecting/certifying shop

Windsor-built 1950 Ford sedan just like new again!

Lifestyle – An email arrived from Michael Rice of Kahnawake, Quebec: “I have owned a 1950 Ford fourdoor sedan in Forest Green since 1992. I bought it from a gentleman in Burlington and had the body restoration done by Gran Sport Autobody.

I kept the original paint colour as it is a very appealing shade of green.

When they repainted it, they took a sample picture from inside the trunk to ensure the colour was correct.

“I have kept the car stock and the only things not working are the clock and the radio.

Other than that, it is fully roadworthy and I can drive it anywhere, but only when there are no clouds in the sky. The H pattern for the manual transmission is a dream, and it’s funny that I can out-accelerate most cars the first 50 yards or so if I wish – then they blast by me when they wisen up.

I even have the original jack (it’s in a box with 1950 Toronto Daily Star newspaper wrapping) and spare in the trunk and the car has just over 33,000 miles on the odometer.

I am the fifth or sixth owner and I did track down the daughter of the first owner about ten years ago and she supplied me with a picture of her parents with the car when it was brand new!

“The car is one of the early Canadian-built 1950 models as it has the

hood emblem without the retainer. I managed to find this piece, and the trunk emblem, from a retired gentleman in Detroit who had taken a bunch of these emblems home with him from the assembly line back in 1950.

“I find it strange that my engine has no oil filter. The driver must have had to change the oil on a regular basis to accommodate this.

The block is the correct green colour for this year. I found new old stock headers (also in green with “Made in Canada” engraved on them) in of all places New York State from a vendor who basically gave them away.

Over the past twenty years I have changed the gas tank, muffler, tires, and smaller items like brakes, carburetor, fuel and water pump, etc., but no major mechanical work to make the car roadworthy.”

Michael Rice’s 1950 Ford represents the first generation of Ford cars produced after World War Two with fresh new styling and independent front suspension. My father, Frank Sherk, bought a 1950 Ford sedan brand new and it was the same colour This 1950 Ford sedan is owned by Michael Rice of Kahnawke, Quebec.

Maritime guitarist offers workshop after show Community – Renowned Maritime guitarist, singer and songwriter JP Cormier will be presenting a guitar workshop in Sharbot Lake.

He is the master of many instruments but is a genius on the guitar. His fingers fly with speed and precision and he leaves his audience awed by his talent.

Cormier will be performing in the evening of Nov. 15 at the Sharbot Lake Inn and will conduct his guitar workshop in the afternoon at the Oso Hall from 3 to 4:30 p.m.

Cormier’s workshops for festivals, small groups or companies are a whirlwind of information and technical delight. This master of the instrument takes the work-

shop audience on a journey through ‘all things guitar’.

From purchase, technique and set up, to flat-picking and finger-style, this workshop is an information bomb for players in any style or genre.

Experienced guitarists with the prerequisite skills (ability to fluently play open chords, to use strumming patterns and to read guitar chord charts) will be delighted with the content of the workshop.

Presented by Blue Skies in the Community, the JP Cormier guitar workshop is $30 for adults or $20 for students. To register or for further information, contact Marily Seitz at 613-479-2855 or at seitz@ xplornet.ca.

Thank you to all the staff at the Almonte General Hospital for allowing Mom to die with dignity and to the numerous neighbours who enhanced her life. A special thanks goes out to Marilyn Sonnenburg for all her care.

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

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

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

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

Important nutrition information for the breastfeeding mother Carole Chang, MSc, RD

Lifestyle – Breastfeeding is the normal, healthy way to feed a baby. When a mother’s body makes breastmilk, it is important that she eats healthy foods and gets enough calories to support milk production.

A mother’s diet does not have to be perfect to breastfeed successfully. A mother does not need to eat special foods for breastfeeding, but she does need to eat a little more food and drink more fluids to help the body produce enough breastmilk.

What does a nursing mother need to eat?

When a mother’s body makes breastmilk, it is important that she is eating healthy foods and enough calories to produce breastmilk. What does this mean in terms of food?

Here are some examples of healthy snacks that can be eaten throughout the day (in addition to regular meals) to make up for the extra calories needed: • 1 cup of 1 per cent milk + 1/2 cup trail mix (nuts + dried fruit + dry cereal) • 1/4 cup shredded cheese + 1/2 cup pasta (macaroni & cheese) • 1 cup of 1 per cent milk + ½ tuna sandwich • Peanut butter sandwich + fruit – i.e., banana, apple When a mother breastfeeds, it is not necessary for her to avoid certain foods. A wide variety of foods in the mother’s diet will mean that the breastmilk is full of flavour, which babies love. The only time a food should be taken away from the diet is when the mother thinks that baby has had a reaction to something she has eaten. This does not always mean that the baby has a food allergy. A breastfeeding mother should discuss with a doctor, public health nurse, or a dietitian if she thinks the baby is reacting to something she has eaten.

What about fluid?

A busy new mother may forget to drink fluids, or sometimes does not like to drink water. What can a mother choose to drink instead of water?

Any fluid will have some water content – milk, 100 per cent fruit juice, and soup are some good examples.

A good general guideline is to drink fluids at each meal and snack, and to try having something to drink each time the mother sits down to breastfeed the baby. “Drink to thirst” is a good rule of thumb – when you are thirsty, grab a drink and drink until your thirst is quenched.

What if the mother does not eat healthy?

If a breastfeeding mother does not eat healthy, it will not affect the quality of breastmilk. The overall nutrient content of breastmilk will stay stable as the breastmilk will draw nutrients from the mother’s own nutrient stores. However, when a breastfeed-

ing mother does not eat enough food and does not eat healthy food, then the amount of breastmilk produced sometimes may go down slightly.

It is very important not to go on a low-calorie diet after the baby is born in order to lose weight. A lowcalorie diet may mean that the mother is not eating enough calories and nutrients for her own health, and it may mean she is tired more often. If losing weight is a concern after the baby is born, a healthy strategy is to continue eating a variety of healthy foods to support breastfeeding, eat less snacks, and enjoy physical ac-

Nutrition Tips tivity everyday. Talk to a registered dietitian or a doctor about healthy weights.

Does the breastfeeding mother need vitamin supplements?

During breastfeeding, it is important that the mother get her nutrients from healthy foods rather than from a vitamin-mineral supplement. Often during pregnancy, a mother may choose to take a prenatal vitamin

supplement. After the baby is born, a mother can continue to take prenatal vitamins during breastfeeding until her current supply of supplements is used up. After that, healthy foods can supply all the nutrients a nursing mother needs. Breastfeeding mothers who are vegetarians or who have specific health concerns may have special nutrient needs. It is important to talk to a dietitian to discuss the need for supplements.

When becoming pregnant is a possibility, even during breastfeeding, then a woman needs to take a folic acid supplement in the amount of 0.4
