$30,500 gas pain for council
Pie in the eye
Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – A gas line on Daniel Street North is getting a little too close to home for some residents. More like, a little too close to the surface. Smiths Falls town council heard earlier this week that the town will have to spend $30,500 as part of its share of repair work when “a gas line was discovered to be within eight inches of the top grade within the boulevard,” wrote Vanessa Bernicky, an engineering technologist, in a report to council delivered at the special committee-of-thewhole meeting held on Monday, Nov. 3. “This is not the required standard set by Enbridge Gas and is a safety concern for residents in the area.” Bernicky added that Enbridge had been consulted this past March in the lead-up to remove and replace curbs in the area and “there was no
concern as drawings for Enbridge showed the gas line to be 24 inches (0.6 m) below final grade (placed in 1958),” she wrote. The gas line along Daniel Street North, between Winnifred and Ogden streets, is the focus of concern, specifically along the driveways of four homes. “We are required to make the area safe and cannot just pave over the shallow main,” wrote Bernicky. The gas line will now need to be moved 1.2 metres or four feet back from the curb at the required 24 inches (0.6 m) depth. Lynda McKimm, the town’s manager of planning and sustainable growth, told council that the town had signed a 20-year agreement in 1998 with Consumers Gas, the forerunner to Enbridge, in which it agreed to pay 35 per cent of such costs.

Solemn service planned for Nov. 11 Staff
Laurie Weir/METROLAND
Community – Carole Dufort, principal at Chimo Elementary School in Smiths Falls, was a good sport on Oct. 30 when she volunteered to take a pie in the face. It was all in good fun, and for a good cause as the staff raised $200 for the United Way. Teacher Jayson Turkuc, who said he hoped he still had a job after this, looks like he’s enjoying this moment with the principal.
News - An air of solemn remembrance and thankfulness will pervade the Town of Smiths Falls next Tuesday, Nov. 11 when the community takes part in the annual Remembrance Day services. This Remembrance Day the blood red colour of the poppy seems more pointed following the recent tragic terrorist attack on Parliament Hill and the War Memorial. “I think people will be more solemn,” said Keith Anderson, Legion president. Last year’s service was one of the best attended in memory, and organizers expect this trend to continue this month.

“I think we’ll have a very good crowd,” Anderson said. “I noticed the last three years the crowds have increased,” added mayor Dennis Staples. All citizens are encouraged and welcome to take part in the upcoming service. The annual laying of wreaths will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Community Centre cenotaph (Elmsley Street) before moving onwards to the Library cenotaph at the corner of Elmsley and Beckwith streets.

Community – Celebrate women in business this weekend at Lanark County Interval House’s (LCIH) 26th annual Women’s Fair at the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place. Due to popular demand, the fair has been expanded from one day to two with new vendors appearing each day. It takes place Saturday, Nov. 8 and Sunday, Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with free admission. According to Women’s Fair organizer and LCIH board member Deanna Barry, the event is one of the most anticipated business expos in Lanark County and will feature jewelry, clothing/fashion, baked goods, chiropractic services, fitness, financial consultants, crafts, beauty products and more. “We’ve got lots of vendors, including a variety of local artisans and home-based businesses and they are all women-owned businesses, which is unique and sets us apart from some of the other shows around,” she explained. “…I believe this is one of the largest gatherings of women-owned businesses in the area.” “…It’s pretty popular and we had a vendor waiting list for a couple of years, so we thought we’d open it up to two days,” Barry added. In addition to the range of vendors, visitors can bid on more than 80 items
ing,” she said. “The kitchen’s always really successful.” The Women’s Fair is one of LCIH’s signature events and raises funds to keep the organization’s programs and services in operation for women and children who are victims of abuse. “It’s (Women’s Fair) pretty important to us both as a fundraising event and to raise awareness about Interval House,” Barry said, noting that the Women’s Fair and Violet Femmes gala, set to take place Nov. 21 at the Almonte Arena, are the organization’s two biggest annual fundraisers. While LCIH does receive funding from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, 11 per cent of their budget comes from fundraising. “Our shelter is unique in that we offer a lot of transitional programs that many others in the city don’t,” Barry added. With several other craft shows taking place in Carleton Place and Almonte this weekend, Barry urges families to make a day of it. While the Women’s Fair showcases women, there is something for the entire family. “It’s a nice outing to do with a group of girlfriends or the whole family. There are a few other events taking place, make a day of exploring the area,” she said. For more information on LCIH and the Women’s Fair, visit lcih.org or check them out on Facebook for a listing of vendors and a sample of some of the silent auction items.

News – The following are highlights from the special Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, Oct.22 and the special county council meeting held Oct. 8. The county is proceeding with an agreement with the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing that will provide additional funds in the Investment in Affordable Housing for Ontario Housing program. The program was introduced in 2011 with funding allocations for three years. The federal and provincial governments have extended it for a further six years in an effort to improve housing options for Ontarians. Various programs can be delivered, and the county provides homeownership loans, Renovate Lanark and rent supplement programs. The allocation for the 20142015 year for the county is $381,700, with subsequent years announced when census data is available. Social housing manager Sandy Grey indicated the extension amount is enough to fund two units of new rental construction; Renovate Lanark funding would be used to assist 13 applicants who are on a waiting list and, if there are funds left, more would be issued on a first-come, firstserved basis. The housing allowance funding would assist 26 clients for five years with a $200 per month subsidy. County expresses condolences
Lanark County councillors expressed shock and condolences in the wake of the violent acts taking place in Ottawa at the National War Memorial and Parliament Hill on Oct. 22, as well as the incidents in Quebec on Oct. 21, all involving Canadian soldiers. “Lanark County is proud of our military and the uniform they wear is a symbol for Canadians,” said Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve). Councillor John Fenik (Perth Mayor) added that there is a bigger role “for all levels of government to give a united message on this kind of darkness.” Several councillors commented on support for Canadian soldiers and all agreed to write a letter to the Governor General expressing this sentiment.
them. Senior financial analyst Kevin Wills explained under the current system, if a defendant is found to be only one per cent liable for damages caused to an injured party, that defendant can be burdened with responsibility for paying the entire damage award if the co-defendants lack the ability to pay. “As ‘deep pocket’ defendants with seemingly limitless public resources at their disposal through the power of taxation, municipalities have often become the targets of litigation when other defendants do not have the means to pay high damage awards,” he said. Wills explained other jurisdictions have implemented legislative protections, but Ontario has not, which results in increased inCounty pushes for reform surance premiums.

While an upload of social services created some temporary budget flexibility, real growth in assessment has been limited. The ratepayer affordability white paper analyses typical residents of rural eastern Ontario in terms of earnings, demographics, education and shelter costs/home ownership. An environmental services paper examines water/waste water and sewer expenditures as well as solid waste management and associated liabilities. Finally, the social housing white paper highlights declining federal support and subsidies combined with changing housing needs, including increased mental health issues and an increase in hoarding and other damage, as well as increased energy costs. In all of the white papers, recommendations are provided for local, regional and provincial bodies in terms of strategic approaches, collaboration and advocacy.

REAL announces action grant winners News – The Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) is proud to be celebrating its 25th year this month. The local volunteer organization was formed on the premise that people can make a real environmental difference by taking small actions in their own backyards. In celebration of its anniversary and thanks to a generous REAL supporter, REAL was able to offer $250 REAL action grants to non-profit community groups for projects benefitting the local environment. Groups had until Oct. 3 to submit proposals. The winners were announced at REAL’s annual Local Foods Harvest Dinner Oct. 18.
Several projects had a gardening and local food theme. Grants went to the Drummond Central School Parent Council for rain barrels and tools for their pumpkin patch project. The SFDCI Food Program and special needs class for raised garlic beds in their community garden and the Lanark Highlands Youth Centre for a freezer to preserve produce grown in their community garden. Other projects were on a reducing waste theme. REAL awarded grants to: YAK Youth Services, to support their Green Volunteer Program, the SFDCI Environmental Club for their water
bottle filling station and Community Support Services Perth, for an in-house recycling program. Other winners received funding towards larger projects: SADV Women’s Monument Committee for a tree to be planted in Perth to honour women who have been victims of violence, TYPS Youth Centre in Almonte for their parks and garden program and Carleton Place High School Enviro Project for their winter field camp, where students will study climate change.

At a special meeting on Oct. 8, council approved a bylaw to sell the county property known as “5N” in Tay Valley Township. The 240-acre property was originally intended to be a county-wide landfill site, but the initiative dissolved in 1999 and the property was declared surplus to the county’s needs in December 2013. A disposal process was undertaken with the nine local municipalities that originally contributed to the process to develop the landfill. The property was sold by public tender to the highest compliant bidder, 2218737
Ontario Ltd., for $430,000.

Community – Get some holiday decorating ideas while touring some of Perth’s most beautiful homes Dec. 6 and 7 during the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth & District’s Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour. The event, which is the CFUW’s biggest fundraising effort, takes place from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. As in previous years, eight homes will be featured on the 2014 edition of the tour, including six heritage homes and two new builds with historic characteristics. “There’s a lot of variety for people on the tour this year,” noted the CFUW’s Judy Hollinger, in charge of house tour publicity. “The only new homes are two timber frame homes built on very old barns, so we’re very happy with the lineup,” added CFUW president and house tour cochair, Jackie Boyer. Hollinger said another interesting aspect is that several of the homes are of a smaller scale. “It allows people to get decorating ideas they can use in their own home, so I think there’s something for everyone,” she remarked. “There are no mid-century modern houses because this is a Perth heritage tour. Jackie has done a wonderful job finding houses this year.” In addition to getting a peek inside the homes, each one has been paired with a local decorator to bring the holidays indoors. Musicians (pianists, cellists and harpists) will be showcased at each spot as well, including Canadian folk singer/songwriter James Keelaghan.

with massive ceilings keeps many of the workmanship and artistry that it had as a barn. “Looks can be deceiving. You step in the front door of this home and it is huge compared to the outside,” said Boyer. Imposing and immense, some of the wood pieces used in the construction feature words carved into it. Kelly’s Flowers will handle the decor. A red brick farmhouse will be found at 119 Perkins Road, with a statement-making wraparound veranda, framed by maple trees. Known locally as the Stafford House, it bears original flooring upstairs, wood trim and a back staircase. The large dining room and kitchen have been recently renovated. “I love this home,” remarked Boyer. “The veranda wraps around the 1900s home which has some really interesting features inside and is beautifully finished.” The homeowner will be han-
dling the interior Christmas decor, but floral arrangements will be provided by Gemmell’s Flowers. Last up is 966 Christie Lake Road (Miramar Farm), which boasts a Nepean sandstone exterior and grand columns, as well as a rare curved dormer on the roofline that makes for an impressive sight from the road. “It’s a grand home and one of very few in the country that has that round peak in the gable of the roof,” Boyer commented. The homeowner here will also handle the holiday decor with SweetPea’s Fresh Flowers creating floral arrangements for the space. Finding homes In its seventh year, the house tour is a “very well-oiled machine,” noted Hollinger. Boyer traditionally starts seeking out new homes for next year’s tour in January. On her travels, she often sees something that sets a house apart from another and
will knock on the door to find out more. A large crop of volunteers and house captains will be stationed at each stop to ensure the tour runs smoothly. All funds raised will go towards supporting education-related initiatives for girls throughout Lanark County to aid those pursuing post-secondary studies or women returning to the workforce that may require additional skills. “We also donate to local schools and libraries and have given more than $125,000 over
the last eight years from the house tour alone,” Boyer said. Tickets in the form of tour brochures, are $30 each and are now available at the following locations: Crush Marketplace in Almonte (14 Mill Street, 613-4612211); Oderin Kitchen Supplies in Kingston (57 Brock Street, 613-531-4544); Unravelled in Merrickville (108 St. Lawrence

porch. The heritage style home bears a modern touch on the inside, including a spacious kitchen and third floor loft, which provides a nice view of the Tay River. “The wallpaper in the foyer of this home is so modern and beautiful,” Hollinger said. Boyer said the updated kitchen with cathedral ceiling is a “complete surprise.” “You don’t expect it (kitchen) and it’s lovely. The house is three floors and has the most gorgeous staircase going all the way up,” she commented. Apropos Flowers will be providing a touch of the holidays at this home. Charm abounds at cozy 20 Mill Street, which features yellow board and batten on the exterior, as well as many original characteristics inside, such as wood beams in the kitchen and tongueand-groove pine doors with thumb latches that reflect its early 1840s construction. “It’s a quaint little home and features a new door custom built by an Algonquin (College) student,” Boyer said. Susan Storie of Mariposa Design will add a Christmas theme to the home for the tour. The first timber frame home on the tour is at 330 8th Concession, off Otty Lake Side Road. A new construction by Gibson Timber Frames, its owners, the home has been lovingly constructed with energy efficiency in mind. Log rafters from old barns make up the ceilings and a post-and-beam back portico are two impressive features. Art & Class Studio Boutique will use natural materials to create holiday decor in the home. The other timber frame construction at 312 8th Concession, off Otty Lake Side Road, is also known as the Yarker Barn House as its previous life was as a barn in Yarker. The post-and-beam home
Tourism stakeholders in Ontario’s Highlands ‘wander’ toward authentic visitor experiences

Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) held its fourth annual tourism conference in Haliburton Oct. 27. During the conference, which included guest speakers and several presentations, a new board of directors was also selected, above. Below, OHTO executive director Nicole Whiting addresses the nearly 100 tourism businesses gathered for the conference.
speakers and workshops. Dorothy Payne, president and chair of Synergy Louisbourg, kicked the day off with a keynote presentation showcasing how a nearby Canadian region, located at the eastern edge of Nova Scotia, was able to change its perception with visitors from “dead end” to “destination” by focusing in on the needs of a targeted guest – “We couldn’t be all things to all people,” she says –and honouring the stories found within the community. Next, Fred Sheppard, an Interpreter with Gros Morne National Park, began his presentation by bursting into song, demonstrating that everyone has a story to tell and highlighting “Rule number six” of storytelling: don’t take yourself too seriously. Sheppard walked OHTO members through some of the key elements of telling their stories in an authentic way, such as focusing on the positive, being themselves and creating experiences that are real, unique and sensory. A key takeaway from his presentation? Grab hold of what sets you apart from your neighbours. “Visitors want a different story when they come
to your different communities,” he said. The second day of the conference enabled tourism operators to identify and share their stories through a series of tourism workshops on topics such as travel media, digital strategies (including TripAdvisor) and an introduction to travel trade. “In the coming year, we look forward to sharing more of our region’s local stories and inviting visitors to wander and create their own stories among our hidden gems and undiscovered places,” says Whiting. “As J. R. R. Tolkien famously said, all those who wander are not lost.” About the OHTO The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is a not-for-profit organization mandated by the Province of Ontario to increase tourism within the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, and Renfrew and portions of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox and Addington.

News – When Marc Whitehead, senior strategist for Karo Group, hit the ‘stop’ button on a video he just finished playing for a group of nearly 100 tourism businesses from Ontario’s Highlands at the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s (OHTO) fourth annual Tourism Conference on Oct. 27, there was a brief pause in the room. The video was part of a powerful presentation that encouraged tourism operators in Ontario’s Highlands to embrace experiencebased, visitor-centric marketing and product development, unveiling the OHTO’s new brand promise to its members and tourism stakeholders by capturing the spirit of an exciting new visitor profile with potential to drive tourism to the region. Coupling experiential images of “slowing down” and “disconnecting in Ontario’s Highlands with a relaxed voiceover that encouraged seeing every inch of the region as a potential travel destination, the video spoke of our rural communities’ unique capacity for making authentic, personal connections with guests and appealing to their desire to escape, unwind and spontaneously discover their next big (physical and emotional) adventure. For the rest of the two-day conference, there was a new word buzzing around Haliburton’s Pinestone Resort: wandering. At the heart of the brand promise? That, sometimes, the best way to recharge is to slow down, look around and just wander, letting every new discovery along the way become its own opportunity to stimulate the senses and nourish the soul. “We are excited to see that our partners support our new brand direction and can begin to see themselves playing a key role in working with us to create captivating, memorable tourism experiences to help bring new visitors to Ontario’s Highlands,” says Nicole Whiting, OHTO’s executive director. “By working together to share our stories, visitors are going to walk away remembering more than our landscape, accommodations and activities. We can truly enrich their travels and compete with ‘big city’ destinations by connecting with our visitors on an emotional level. Now that the brand platform is released, we look forward to bringing the vision to life in collaboration with our stakeholders.” In addition to the presentation of OHTO’s visitor-centric strategy, the agenda for the tourism conference also included a review of the organization’s hot-off-the-press 2013-14 annual report (available for download on ohto.ca later this week), the election of a new board of directors, the recognition of hardworking tourism businesses who were awarded an OHvation designation for their commitment to customer service, and several keynote

We can always go a bit further
E
ditorial – As part of a sermon at a local church recently, a visiting pastor emphasized the importance of going a bit further. It’s advice that is not limited to our spiritual needs; it can be applied to so many different aspects of our lives. For those of us who have let certain things slide when it comes to relationships, our health and our jobs, there is a sense of empowerment associated with realizing we can always do a little more to improve our situations or those faced by others. With that in mind, we would like to encourage local residents to go a bit further when it comes to honouring those who served our country. There is more we can do than just turn out at a cenotaph for half an hour on Nov. 11. The act of wearing a poppy is important in terms of awareness and symbolism, but contributing money to a poppy campaign is even more valuable. Proceeds from the local Royal
Canadian Legion campaigns provide direct support for veterans and the services they need. The money might be used to cover transportation costs associated with medical treatment and appointments. There are also service such as meals on wheels or palliative care that benefit from the annual poppy drives; one way or another, revenue from poppy sales helps the people who served their country and ours. We can always go a bit further. Attending a Remembrance Day ceremony is a small way that Canadians can honour the men and women who put their lives on the line. Wearing a poppy is another step in the right direction, but supporting the poppy program with more than just a coin or two sends a message to the rest of the community that we are truly grateful for their service and that we are willing to help the veterans’ in their later years. Lest we forget.

made for Audrey and me and it would do nicely to cover the unsightly salt pork barrel! So one morning, after we had heard the old foot pedal churning away on the Singer sewing machine long after we had gone to bed, we came down to find the little barrel covered from top to bottom with a mauve and yellow flowered skirt. Since there was no lid on the barrel (the plate had been removed), Mother had simply made the skirt with a round inset at the top, and both Audrey and I thought the whole idea added a lovely touch to the kitchen. “Nonsense” we could hear Father mutter in his saucer of green tea when he came in from his morning chores in the barn,

Province kicks off first Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week News – Ontario is kicking off its first Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Week to talk about the importance of installing CO alarms to keep families and homes in Ontario safe. This public education campaign, Beat the Silent Killer, runs from Nov.1-8 and is led by fire services across the province. They will be hosting events to spread the message and raise awareness about the dangers of carbon monoxide and the importance of installing detectors in residential dwellings. “Increasing awareness about the dangers of carbon monoxide and the importance of installing a CO alarm is why this week is so important. I urge all Ontarians to install carbon monoxide alarm immediately – a simple, affordable action everyone can take to help protect their families and their homes,” said Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and

he just let it lie in a heap on the floor by the little barrel, which annoyed Mother almost as much as when Father slurped his tea out of his saucer. Aunt Bertha on the next farm thought the skirt was a lovely idea and said she was going to do the same thing to their little pork barrel. Everyone thought it was fine except Father. Our minister never seemed to have a reason to pay a visit. But his call always seemed to be at mealtime, which Mother said assured him of at least one good meal that day. And so that Saturday, just before noon dinner, in walked the minister, bible in hand, and even though it was a cold fall day, with snow flurries dusting through the air, the sweat was pouring off his round, fat face. Mother took his coat, and told him to “please be seated, Reverend.” He headed for the armed chair, plopped down like a sack of grain, wiped his face with the sleeve of his black shirt
Correctional Services. “Now that Ontario has mandated the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide alarms in existing homes with a fuel-fired heating system or appliance, fireplace or attached garage, it’s up to Ontario families to be responsible for their CO safety,” added Tadeusz (Ted) Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal and chief of emergency management. “I urge everyone to get involved in Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week and learn how to protect themselves against this silent killer.” Establishing an annual awareness week was part of Bill 77 passed last year, which made CO alarms mandatory in all Ontario homes. Working with partners to increase fire and carbon monoxide safety is part of the government’s plan to keep Ontario families safe. “This week is a great time to focus
on the dangers associated with this silent killer, and I want to thank Canadian Tire for their generous donation of 100 CO alarms. If a CO alarm goes off in your home, never assume it’s a false alarm or the alarm is defective. CO alarms are very reliable, high-tech devices and it is imperative that we treat every alarm seriously,” said John Gignac, co-chair, Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for CO Education.
and placed his bible on top of the pork barrel. It was a big bible, well worn...the one he carried up to the pulpit every Sunday. Well, it sunk into the pork barrel, like a stone in a wash tub, taking most off the skirt with it. He looked at it for what seemed like a full minute, and then reached down into the barrel and pulled it out. It was covered with salt water, and brine crystals had already settled on the cover of the bible. Mother rushed over, grabbed the bible and was wiping it up and down on her apron as she headed for the dish pan and a dry tea towel. The minister decided he’d be on his way...he’d be back on another day, he said, never taking his eyes off the pork barrel, now with most of the skirt inside it. It looked like the bible was finished. But that Sunday, there he was, walking up the aisle to the front of the church with the four members of the choir, and the battered bible clutched in his hand. He always nod-
ded to those in the pews, but he didn’t give us as much as glance. Emerson swore he could smell salt pork off the minister as he passed us at our usual place in the very front row.

Senseless murder Before going any farther, obviously I join with every decent person in this country in expressing sorrow at the senseless murder of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the army reservist from Hamilton who was ambushed at the National War Memorial and shot to death by a coward. Cirillo’s name will forever remain with those of us who were alive when these terrible events took place. Thanks to the bravery of Parliamentary Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, a former RCMP officer, the name of the shooter can quickly be forgotten. His sad story is only important in terms of the lessons learned about what causes people like him to walk among us. In the wake of all of this what impressed me the most was the reaction of the majority of my fellow Canadians. Instead of being afraid, we were angry. Our anger later turned to compassion for the victim and his family and applause for Mr. Vickers and security staff on the Hill. This violence and death has only strengthened our resolve to deal effectively with terrorism and terrorists. And deal with them we will have to because in my opinion this incident is the tip of the iceberg. There is almost certain to be more death and destruction as the people of the free world attempt to wipe this scourge from the face of the earth. Certainly questions have to be asked about security at key sites and installations, beginning with Parliament Hill the seat of national government. The RCMP weren’t far behind this madman. But behind him they were. It was only due to the bravery and quick reaction by Vickers and those who were suddenly confronted by the killer, inside the Hall of Honour of Parliament, that even more bloodshed was avoided. I visit Parliament Hill several times a year. Often I am guiding student exchange visitors from Carleton Place’s twin communities in Scotland and the United States. On other occasions I take family members or friends from outside the area, or outside Canada, on a tour of my hometown. I know the Hill and especially the Centre Block of Parliament very well. I have also been there on many occasions in my role as a journalist. The last time I was inside was in June when I accompanied students from Franklin, Tennessee to Parliament Hill on a tour. To be honest I have often wondered about the rather loose looking security arrangement inside the main entrance, something that quickly became a flash point for criticism in the wake of the recent shooting spree. While visitors to the Centre Block are required to pass through an elabo-

Lifestyle – It is easy to be a critic and in the wake of the recent shootings in Ottawa there has been unlimited discussion and more than enough criticism of the security on Parliament Hill. Still, I have my own insight – including firsthand experience on the Hill – and this week I am going to weigh in on the subject. The reality is that Canada and Canadians have been somewhat complacent when it comes to our own security. Not even 9/11 and its aftermath was enough to completely open our eyes with respect to this vital issue. Perhaps we felt immune somehow to what happened south of the border, despite the fact some of our countrymen were victims of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC. During my life I have spent a lot of time on Parliament Hill. In recent years the Hill and the federal government has become an even bigger part of our lives, because our son works there. On the morning of Oct. 22 I was just returning from a local political event and hadn’t even hung up my jacket when the phone rang. It was a Carleton Place friend who works at National Defence headquarters in downtown Ottawa. He said he and his colleagues were in lockdown following the shooting spree. He told me reports were that more than one gunman remained on the loose. I was surprised of course, but not shocked. I have been expecting this sort of thing for several years and given recent events related to Islamic extremists the grim news wasn’t unexpected. “Jeff, I know your lad works on the Hill. Give him a call and make sure he’s OK. Call me back,” my friend said before ringing off. I set a record dialing Craig’s private number. You can imagine my relief when he answered on the second ring. “No worries,” he said. “We’re just sitting here waiting to see what happens.” Where he is located, he had a ringside seat as this violent and heinous chapter in Canadian history played out. You have to know my son. He was upset by the outburst of madness that had disrupted his day. But at that point he felt all was under control. His concern was about getting back to work because his office is a very busy place. That didn’t happen. Hours later he and his fellow staffers were evacuated by the RCMP. Craig was fortunate. His car was parked outside the exclusion zone. He later called to say he was home and watching events unfold from the safer vantage point of his living room couch. I breathed yet another sigh of relief and called Kathleen at work to update her. That evening I heard the full account of what happened to Craig and his colleagues and even though it was

that incident. Much more recently, on Dec. 7, 2009, Greenpeace protesters left RCMP security red-faced when they managed to scale the roof of the West Block on Parliament Hill and unfurl giant banners demanding government action on climate change. As a result of that embarrassing incident security costs on the Hill quadrupled in just one calendar year. Evidently, however, not all of the security holes were plugged. That was starkly revealed during the recent shooting spree which happened just outside a meeting room where Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his cabinet were in caucus. Imagine how much worse it might have been if the
shooter had carried an automatic weapon or if he was wired with explosives and turned suicide bomber. It doesn’t bear thinking about. House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer, who is in charge of the Parliamentary precincts, very quickly ordered a comprehensive review of security on the Hill. It will be interesting to see what springs from that? One thing is certain. More security is a must at major public buildings including transportation centres in this country. Yes, it will be costly. But given what just happened in our nation’s capital I think that is the least of our worries.

Community – For many people, the sex we are born with is consistent with how we see ourselves. But for others, the sex and the gender identity don’t match. Those faced with this often feel uncomfortable in their own skin, as if they don’t match their birth sex and feel like the other sex. Gender identity has been defined as “an individual’s self-conception of being male or female as
Mississipppi Mudds make panto a tradition for more than 25 years Arts – Twenty-five years ago, for Christmas 1989, the Mudds presented their first panto, a version of Cinderella written by John Crocker. It was a smash hit and led to their tradition of trying to present a panto nearly every Christmas. Playwright John Crocker describes the pantomime, as we know it today, as a form of entertainment all on its own, derived from a number of different sources – the commedia dell’arte, (and all that that’s derived from), the ballet, the opera, the music hall and the realm of folklore and fairy tale. Elements from all of these are still to be found in it. This strange mixture has created a splendidly topsy-turvy world where men are women, women are men, where the present is embraced in the past, where people are hit but not hurt, where authority is continually flouted, where fun is poked at everything, including pantomime itself at times, and, above all, where magic abounds and dreams invariably come true. In other words, it is – or should be – fun. Fun to do and fun to watch! For both Judith and Tony Scott, once again directing Cinderella for the Mudds, panto is an ingrained English Christmas tradition. Tony’s first experience with panto was at the age of five. His parents took him to the Portsmouth Hippodrome to see Mother Goose and he remembers loving
The Mississippi Mudds are preparing for its annual Christmas panto. This year, the theatre group will perform Cinderella, which will contain plenty of musical numbers and laughs.

the chorus of geese. They looked so beautiful. Widely loved in the UK it has been adopted by Canadians more and more in the last 30 years. For Judith, taking their own children to see Karen Kain and Ross Petty at the National Arts Centre was hugely entertaining. Watching the kids’ reactions to the villains and comics and the chance for them to shout out with boos and cheers and “It’s behind you!” made for an enjoyable experience for all. The combination of popular songs, traditional stories, physical comedy and fantastic costumes makes the genre a perfect outlet for community theatre groups. It is a genre that can be tailored to fit the strengths of the cast you have. For the Mudds it perfectly show-

cases their strength in music and comic acting. For this holiday season, the Mudds bring a slightly updated version of that first Cinderella. There is so much to entertain in this panto package. Take musical numbers from Minuet to Hill Billy, Irving Berlin to Ylvis, Buble and Barenaked Ladies to the Beatles, add comedy from Keystone Cops, to puns, to good old custard pies and work it all around a familiar magical story to appeal to all ages. What more could you want? Come out to the Carleton Place Town Hall this holiday season and make the panto your family tradition! You won’t be disappointed.

aware of his protective instincts. He is not suitable for a household with children and cats. A quick learner, he is working on basic obedience skills at the shelter but requires rigorous training in socialization and leash skills. He will require plenty of mental stimulation and physical exercise, at least one hour per day. If you’re interested in dog sports and activities, Monty could make an excellent partner.
This week’s featured pets Monty Monty’s personality is what you would expect from a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, intelligent, determined and independent. He is courageous and sturdy with the endurance of a marathon runner. This healthy young fellow will require minimal grooming (although he will shed). Monty is cautious and guarded when meeting new people, and will do best with a dog-savvy owner
Matt Please meet this two-year-old grey and white male cat. He was brought to us in September and clearly belonged to a loving family. He was already neutered before we got him and is very social. So far, nobody came looking for him. Maybe it’s your cat and you’ve lost hope seeing him back? Matt is extremely handsome,

Friendly, slim, walking with a macho stride Holding up my head, I’m full of pride. Please come to get me soon and give me hugs and a nice warm bed, I’ll respond with my purr and a lovely kitty chat. River River was brought to us at LAWS in August and he was close to death. Emaciated, dirty and scared. With lots of loving care River turned around quickly. He has gained weight, has been neutered and is so ready to be adopted. He’s pacing his cage all day trying to get attention to everybody who comes along. River is a young, handsome grey and white boy. He’s social, playful and would be a wonderful addition to any family.

Autumn’s getting hot at Full Circle Theatre Pride are available at the Perth and District Union Library, for which the series is a fundraiser. Smiths Falls-born singer Kate Weekes returns from an extended stay in the Yukon on Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m. for the CD release party for her hot new album, Frost On Black Fur. Along with Kate will be special guest Grant Simpson, whose barrel-house piano style creates its own heat. Tickets for the concert are available at www.shadowfax.on.ca. All that is pretty hot, but the hottest event for November opens on Nov. 28. BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) second show of the season is a reprise of their hilariously funny, very informative and just plain fun Christmas offering from last season. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) is a side-splitting, outrageously silly romp through, well, every Christmas story ever told. From the Grinch to Rudolf, from Charlie Brown to Ebenezer Scrooge, with educational (and funny) sidetrips to Easter Island, Iceland and more (did you know that, in Sweden, Santa Claus is known as Jultomten and is thought to hide under the floorboards?). It’s an outright romp for its cast of three veterans: David Bird (Gaslight, Free Spirits and dozens more), Joe Laxton (The Country Wife, Mis-
ter Chase and as many dozens more) and David Jacklin, BDP’s producing director (whose one-man show Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook will be touring the region in January). Directed, or perhaps refereed is a better word, by BDP’s co-producing director Janice Jacklin, the show is the most fun you can have about Christmas and is sure to get everyone who sees it in the mood. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) runs Nov. 28, 29, Dec. 4, 5, 6 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 30 and Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. All the information you need (and ticket reservations for Every Christmas Story Ever Told) can be found at www.barndoorproductions.ca, along with photos, video, upcoming events (and auditions) and much more.

DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

Arts – November is offering some exciting events at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. From international cinema to returning musical talent to the best of community theatre, Full Circle is heating up the chill of autumn. August: Osage County is as hot as it comes. Set in a sweltering heat wave in Oklahoma, it’s also a hot property as a play. The Pulitzer, Tony and just about every other award-winning play by American playwright Tracy Letts is the February play in BarnDoor Productions’ 20th anniversary season and open auditions are being held on Monday, Nov. 17, beginning at 7 p.m. The cast for this play is big – seven female and six males – so BDP encourages both veterans and newcomers to join them for a “no-pressure”, fun ramble through a remarkable play. There’s nothing to prepare, just show up. Film Night International’s fall series has been a hot one, as well, with record crowds in attendance. The final event of the fall season will be on Nov. 19, with Pride, the true story of how, in 1984, a London-based gay activist group came together to support striking workers in a small Welsh town. Screenings are at 2 and 7 p.m., on Full Circle Theatre’s wide-screen, surround-sound system. Tickets for

Lanark County chooses the winners at My Town’s Got Talent finale Community – There was a charge in the air at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre in Smiths Falls on Saturday, Nov. 1 for the fifth year finale of United Way Lanark County’s (UWLC) My Town’s Got Talent (MTGT), presented by Metrolandmedia, Town and Country Chrysler, The Valley Players and the Gallipeau Centre. It was a tough choice, but the celebrity judges managed to select the top five from among 15 outstanding youth performances, and then it was up to the audience to select the final winner, along with the top host. During the evening, MTGT also announced the winner of the logo design contest for the Human Library project. “It was an outstanding field this year,” according to artistic director Christy Bindhardt, “one of the best groups of talent I have seen in the five years – solo singers, duos, a
trio, several Broadway musical presentations, a magician, and even a comedy act, making it a really tough choice for the judges to select the final five.” After strong discussions, the judging team, made up of Catherine Clark from Almonte, an actor and musician currently starring in Fiddler on the Roof in Ottawa, longtime Carleton Place Mudds music director Laurel Tye, Montague reeve and musician Bill Dobson, Lake 88’s Brian Perkin and Smiths Falls bayor and musician Dennis Staples, did manage to choose the five finalists. They selected Madelyn Fyfe, Emily Richardson, and Jessica Wedden, all from Perth, Zach Dods from Almonte and the duo of Sara Milligan (Almonte) & Isaac Matthews-Hanna (Perth). While the judges were deliberating on the final five, the MTGT Team were counting the audience votes for

Construction of new Calvary Christian Academy track underway Tara Gesner
tgesner@perfprint.ca
Capital campaign Calvary Christian Academy has shown a willingness to fund its growth, owing to a capital campaign launched in 2008. With a hefty goal of $1 million over five years, Bourne said the plan was to build an early childhood education wing (phase one), construct a running track and eliminate the school’s three portables through a four-classroom addition (phase two), as well as build a high school (phase three). Bourne said 55 people have pledged a total of $500,000 to date. “These are one-time or monthly donations,” he added. “There’s really been a rallying of community around the school. We are very thankful.” Phase one started in September 2013 and finished at the beginning of this year. “We were able to do it with a lot of parents’ help,” Bourne said, “and we hired different tradesmen, too.” The early childhood education wing was built for $225,000. “We have a family at our school in the plumbing business,” Bourne said. “They did all the plumbing for free.” He added another parent did the siding for free and an alumni family put in our flooring for “essentially next to free.” Measuring 2,600 sq. ft. the addition includes preschool and kindergarten classrooms, kitchen, washroom and staff and janitorial rooms. Because the school provides food through its preschool program, it was necessary for the kitchen to meet the requirements of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. There is a hot lunch program that kids can buy into. The second part of phase two involves the construction of a 4,000 sq. ft. addition that houses four classrooms and a dedicated music room. “The portables will be removed on the south end of the school and the addition will be built there,” Bourne said.
News – Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown is currently in the midst of a three-phase capital build-out, with stage two already in motion. Construction on a new 400-metre track began Oct. 15, principal Tom Bourne told the Canadian Gazette last week, and the work, expected to take just over three weeks, is being done by G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction Co. Ltd. “We are really excited about that track,” Bourne said. “We have running club Monday, Wednesday and Friday and we used to do it on Irvine Street.” The track will have a much-needed soccer field in the middle section. “A baseball diamond is also being constructed on the south end of the property,” Bourne said, “and we already have a beach volleyball court.” Active and healthy living has been a part of Calvary Christian Academy right from the beginning. With much growth over the past few years, Bourne said Calvary Christian Academy – situated on 50 acres of property – is focused on adding the facilities required for sports. “We’ve made due with Irvine Street, but it is going to be nice to have a proper track,” he added, “as well as other facilities that will fit with what we want to do.” Calvary Christian Academy is looking to become more active in the local school community, hosting some athletic events. “Although a lot of it is weather dependent, students are really hoping to get on the track this fall,” Bourne said. A family at the school involved in the landscaping business is overseeing the sodding of the inner field. There is currently one field for the entire Calvary Christian Academy student body; however, the new sports ground increases the boundary during activity break (recess). “The only sad thing in all of this is that there were a couple of trees that Phase three After graduating Grade 8 at Calvary needed to be removed,” Bourne said. “They were monumental trees for some Christian Academy students go to one of six different area high schools. students.”

A new 400m track is currently under construction on the 50-acre grounds of Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown. “For example, our students from Perth go to St. John Catholic High School or Perth and District Collegiate Institute,” Bourne said. “Smiths Falls students go to Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute.” However, the administrator, board of directors and school family believes there is a need for a high school on site. “Phase three will be located further south,” Bourne said. “In addition to classrooms there will be an auditorium; however, we feel this one is
quite lofty.” The school is considering bringing a portable on site in September 2015 to offer high school. Beginning Calvary Christian Academy, which is set up as a charitable not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1997, and for the first few years the school was located in the basement of the Calvary Pentecostal Church in Carleton Place. The school moved to its permanent
home in Franktown in 2001. A board of directors, consisting of two local pastors, parents, grandparents and other community members, governs the school (kindergarten to Grade 8). “We have 130 students, 19 families in preschool, 10 teachers, one educational assistant, an office manager and principal,” Bourne said. Calvary Christian Academy is registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education and licensed under the Day Nurseries Act.

Do you really know exactly what’s in your food? Lifestyle –Labels are used to sell food. The labels on the outside of the package will brightly display that an item is low fat, low sugar, low salt, gluten free and even offer different coloured packaging to make the consumer believe that the food is healthier! Shoppers are grabbing up the more expensive foods because they have faith that the food companies are changing their ways and beginning to care about our health. Science reveals research findings about diet and suddenly everyone wants to eliminate gluten, sugar, fat and salt from our lives! Food companies jump on the band wagon and develop marketing schemes to encourage the consumer into buying products based on labels that push a processed food! Gluten free water is one of the most interesting food labels I have ever seen.
Most of us trust that food manufacturers care about what goes into our bodies. Consumers assume that they do. However most of those science studies are generated and paid for by food corporations. The “altered” food market is worth billions. Convince people that they need a specific product to lose weight and every consumer will want to buy it! We, the consumers are standing in the grocery isle, trying to feed our families on a limited budget. Our only desire is to feed them well so they can be healthy. Not one of us has time to read the nutrition label on every product we buy. There are over 3,000 choices in each trip. A grocery shopping trip would take days to read and decipher each label! We are looking for specifics: Nut free for the kids at school, low sugar for our calorie intake, reduced sodium
Heather Westendorp or less fat, dependent on our prioritized needs. Consumers do not notice that reduced sugar increases the salt and sugar substitutes. Reduced fat brings the sugar content up and reduced salt means a whole lot more chemicals.
Manufacturers need to keep the taste and texture the same in order to sell product, so they simply reformulate product to create the mouth feel of our favourite foods. As long as it tastes the same, we will buy it and think we are healthier because of the labels. The only way to get through this myriad of confusion is to actually read the nutrition label and the actual ingredients list. This will inform you about the different ingredients contained in each product. Choose the products that you most often buy and start looking up what all those words are and learn what you are feeding your family. Take the time to search some of the common words on the internet or through the public library. Some of these ingredients are thickeners and preservatives. Wikipedia will give you general information and health
studies with a simple click. Then you can begin to determine if a food is really healthier or simply a sales pitch to entice you to buy the product. An ingredient list will start with what is most in a food to the least amount added at the end of the list. In other words, if the list starts with Sugar, then the food is mostly sugar. Examine your priorities and decide if “reduced” or “contains no” will actually benefit your family if other ingredients you have been trying to avoid are in fact increased or added to “diet” products. Happy, healthy eating! Heather Westendorp is a graduate of the University of Guelph: Food, Nutrition and Risk Management Diploma. She has also lost over 40 lbs. and is continuously working toward improving her health status.

MP encourages participation in Remembrance Day
News – Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville encourages everyone to participate in Remembrance Day ceremonies in their communities. “Every year on Remembrance Day, Canadians are given an opportunity to honour the memory of our brave members of the Canadian Armed Forces,” he explained. This year marks many important milestones, including the 75th anniversary of Canada’s engagement in the Second World War, and the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War.
“We also use this time to thank the men and women who continue to wear the uniform with pride today,” he added. The recent and senseless acts of terror in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, as well as in the Ottawa shootings at the National War Memorial and on Parliament Hill, are a reminder that our members of the Canadian Armed Forces put their lives on the line every day for our safety and freedom, Brown noted. “The capital of our country is an exceptional place and will remain so thanks to the brave acts of these men and women and all other security per-
sonnel who helped on that day,” he said. “As Prime Minister Stephen Harper said: ‘Together, we will remain vigilant against those at home or abroad who wish to harm us’. I encourage everyone in our community to join me in participating in a Remembrance Day ceremony, to honour the fallen, commemorate the brave, and thank all members of the Canadian Armed Forces for their service,” Brown concluded. Lest we forget. Submitted by the office of LeedsGrenville MP Gord Brown.

performed exceptionally well,” noted Bindhardt. “The contest allowed us to showcase youth in another role on stage. Radio hosts in Lanark better watch out with these three out there!” As the second part of the evening started, winning host Clifford Glas took over and introduced each of the final five acts, as they tried to win the audience’s hearts and votes with their second performance of the evening. During the counting of the ballots, Danny Albert, twice a top five finalist, returned to the MTGT stage for a spirited fiddle performance. Danny is currently rehearsing with the Orpheus Musical Theatre Society for their upcoming production of Fiddler on the Roof as, of course, the fiddler – the show takes place in November at Centrepointe Theatre. After a stellar appearance by Albert, Bindhardt took to the stage to announce the winner of the design contest 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. “It was a very tough choice, as we had three very strong designs competing to be the logo for the spring 2015 edition of the project,” said Fraser Scantlebury, show producer and executive director of UWLC. “A panel of librarians and artist Jessica Plager from JB Arts judged the designs, and selected the winner, Christian Van Campen of Almonte, with Liam Ryan of Carleton Place in second, followed by Zach Dods of Almonte in third place. Christian’s logo was felt to best represent the spirit of the project.” All logos are available for viewing online at www.mtgt.org. Finally, it was time to announce the winners of the 2014 MTGT fifth year finale. The audience voted duo Sara and Isaac as the overall winner, with fiddler Jessica Wedden second, composer and animator Zach Dods third, singer Emily Richardson fourth, with singer Madelyn Fyfe taking fifth spot. As part of the prize package for wining, Sara and Isaac won two return tickets from Smiths Falls to Toronto courtesy of VIA Rail Canada, along with a complimentary two-night stay, courtesy of Toron-
to’s Fairmount Royal York Hotel. “It was a great show, and all of the youth did an outstanding job for the audience, in all categories,” said Scantlebury. “It just proves how much talent we have here in the county. This year marks the fifth and final edition of MTGT in its current format, and we certainly went out on a high note,” he added. “During the five years, we have had more than 300 youth in Lanark County come out to our auditions, perform, and work backstage on the show, which is just phenomenal. It was also a great night for the United Way, and we want to thank
everyone who donated at the door and online – it means so much to our annual campaign.” “We also appreciate the support of all of our sponsors, including Lake 88, L-D Tool & Die, and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch in Perth – they helped make this show possible,” continued Scantlebury. “We also received wonderful assistance from all of the local high schools and both school boards – the UCDSB and CDSBEO. Finally, we could not put this show on without the volunteer support of students, the five youth centres, and volunteers from across the county.” Some of the MTGT top five final-
ists will be performing at upcoming events in the county – be sure to watch for the announcements. “This is a great opportunity for everyone to support these talented youth and to see just how great they are and we want to thank everyone again for the wonderful support we have had over the years,” said Bindhardt.

Vancouver’s Harpdog Brown, left, brought his bluesy sound to The Cove Inn in Wesport Oct. 24 as part of the Blues on The Rideau concert series. Above, Brown with Gary Kendall, right, on bass.
Vancouver’s Harpdog Brown takes over Blues on The Rideau Community – Who let the Dog out? Vancouver’s Harpdog Brown was on the loose at Blues on The Rideau concert series at The Cove Inn in Westport Friday night, Oct. 24 and the crowd loved it – eating up his “take no prisoners” harmonica playing, deep bluesy voice, great selection of songs (most of them original) and entertaining showmanship. Now I know what western Canadian and Pacific Northwest blues fans have been talking about for years! Harpdog has the kind of feel for the blues that only comes with experience and he’s got a ton of it. His young guitarist from Victoria, Jordan Edmonds, accompanied him beautifully all night long – not showy just tight and good. And of course Downchild members Gary Kendall on bass and Mike Fitzpatrick on drums provided a rock solid backline. The Cove buffet was delicious as usual, the dance floor stayed packed all night and $560 was raised for the Westport Public Library. All in all, a wonderful evening. What a terrific way to kick off the new season! Regular attendee Laura Reeves of Smiths Falls said The Cove provides a “great relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, good music…nines and tens out of 10 for venue, food, service, band
and sound.” “Great show! Harpdog makes that harp talk!” added Portland’s Daphne Buckley. First-time attendee Denise LaViolette said “the food and service was super. Harpdog Brown was extremely enjoyable. Ten out of 10 for everything.” Next up for the Blues on The Rideau series is Nov. 21 when two-time Juno and multiple Maple Blues Award winners, Fathead of Toronto, will perform. Proceeds will go to the Westport Food Bank, so guests are asked to bring a nonperishable food item with them. The dinner and show is $60 and advance reservations are required. Accommodations are available as well. Call 1-888-COVE-INN for more information or visit www.bluesontherideau.ca or www.coveinn.com. Blues On The Rideau is produced by Choose The Blues Productions (www. choosetheblues.ca) in co-operation with the Cove Inn, Westport. It is sponsored by Dan Aykroyd Wines (www.danaykroydwines.com), 101.9 DAWG FM Ottawa (www.dawgfm.com) and LAKE 88.1 (www.lake88.ca). Turn to page 32 for more photos of the evening’s show.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

Chatham-built 1921 Gray-Dort still like new with low mileage He bought the car and drove it home – and that’s when antique cars became his life-long passion. A year later in River Canard, he discovered a 1921 Gray Dort touring car with 326 original miles on it! Alex bought it for $135 and got it running and on the road by the summer of 1954. Later that summer, he invited seven other old car enthusiasts to meet in his living room in Windsor to plan the formation of an
antique car club. Alex and his young family at that time were living at the Towne and Country Motel at 3215 Howard Avenue, which is still there. The club became known as the Historic Vehicle Society of Ontario (HVSO). Alex’s life-long dream of a
car museum came a big step closer in October 1973 when he played a major role in having the HVSO acquire 54 acres of land on the Arner Town Line for what is now the Southwestern Ontario Heritage Village. Once the Village became established, it was not long before the Canadian Transportation Museum was built at that location. Alex Horen’s Gray-Dort is now on display at that museum near Kingsville, Ontario, and well worth a visit (519-7766909). Gray-Dort cars were built in Chatham, Ontario, from 1915 to 1925, and the one at the museum might be the best origi-
nal example in existence. These cars acquired their unusual name because the Gray family in Chatham teamed up with the Dort automobile company of Flint, Michigan, to build cars based on the Dort design and using Dort parts. The GrayDort sold well across Canada and about 26,000 were built during its 10-year production span. When the Dort company in Michigan went out of business, the supply of parts evaporated and the Gray-Dort name passed into history. At the peak of its popularity in the early ‘20s, the Gray-Dort company employed 800 people in Chatham and the

Lifestyle – On Wednesday, Oct. 8, the old car hobby lost one of its most enthusiastic members when Alex Horen, formerly of Windsor, Ontario, passed away in his 90th year with his girls (wife and three daughters) singing “You are our sunshine” at his side. Alex was “bitten by the old car bug” in 1951 on Tecumseh Road in Windsor when he spotted a 1917 Chev 490 touring car for sale on a used car lot for $50.
Lifestyle – It’s an item 90 per cent of Canadians have in their cupboards and it’s one that – when eaten regularly – is associated with an increased likelihood of meeting daily nutrient targets and maintaining healthier body weights. But, according to the results of a national poll, four in 10 Canadians are missing out on eating this pantry staple. What is it? The answer is cereal, and according to the results of a national poll conducted by Ipsos Reid on behalf of Breakfast Cereals Canada, 38 per cent of Canadians chose not to eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast within the past week, with one in ten saying they never eat cereal at all. That doesn’t mean Canadians don’t know cereal is good for them: when given a list of words they associate with cereal, 46 per cent cited “fibre”, 40 per cent mentioned “whole grains” and 33 per cent responded “nutritious.” “That Canadians recognize the important place cereal holds in their diet is a good first step,” says Lydia Knorr, a registered dietitian in Toronto. “But when
they were polled about why they’re not eating cereal, there were some misperceptions in the role cereal can play within a healthy diet.” Indeed, when asked which factors would lessen the likelihood of buying or eating cereal, “too much sugar” was the most commonly cited factor with 41 per cent saying sugar is a deterrent. “Too expensive” was the next most common reply (35 per cent) followed by “too many preservatives” (24 per cent), artificial colours (23 per cent) and “it’s a processed food” (18 per cent). “As a dietitian, it makes me happy to hear that consumers are taking factors such as sugar and additives in their foods seriously and want to know more,” says Knorr, herself a mother of three. “But what many people don’t realize is that cereals can provide more iron, folic acid, zinc, B vitamins and fibre than other conventional breakfast choice.” For those concerned about sugar, studies have shown that when looking at overall dietary intake, sugar from breakfast
cereals – even pre-sweetened brands – accounts for less than five per cent of overall sugar in people’s diets. Sodium from cereal contributes just three per cent of the average Canadian intake. Meanwhile, research has shown that because breakfast cereal is almost always served with milk, having a bowl can help kids get closer to meeting the Canada Food Guide recommendation of three milk servings a day – a target on which more than half of kids over 10 years of age fall short. And, with the average price of cereal (including milk) at just 53 cents per serving, it’s an economical choice as well. If you want to know more about what’s in your cereal bowl, visit www.inthebowl.ca or connect on Facebook (www. Facebook.com/whatsinthebowlcanada). And, for every ‘share’ of the website or Facebook page, Breakfast Cereals Canada is giving one bowl of cereal to Food Banks Canada up to a maximum of $25,000. Submitted by Breakfasts Cereals Canada.

The importance of planning and designing your project Take some pictures, sketch a few mock-ups, and if you have it available, use computer software to create a virtual version of your final project.
Before finding a landscaper, take some time to learn about your space by taking good measurements and considering
exactly what it is you want to do with it. This can go a long way when working with your contractor to figure out how to best arrive at your desired outcome. If you’re working on the project by yourself, planning and getting accurate measurements is even more essential, as without them your project likely won’t be completed correctly, if at all. It’s also important to visualize what your space looks like now and what it will become.
To make your project an easy and successful one, reach out to Canlok Stone. With 43 years of experience, they know how to help you complete your project correctly, safely and with ease all at a great price as well. To learn more about Canlok Stone, visit them online canlok.com, call 613-828-7686 or visit their showroom in person at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean.
R0022957219/1030
When planning your outdoor space Nepean’s own Canlok Stone canlok.com understands it can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding the right landscaper for the job. However, many in the Ottawa-Carlton region have found that some research and a focus on your project’s goal can be significant factors in making it successful.
Additionally, always keep in mind your space’s final goals. Are you looking to create an outdoor kitchen complete with a BBQ or is your main goal a quiet garden with a tranquil waterfall? It may seem obvious, but each project has different needs. When you’re working with your landscaper, take time out to ensure the materials such as stones are appropriate for the job at hand.

Tony Leduc picked up his new wheels on Monday at Town and Country Chrysler in Smiths Falls. Leduc, who was born with spina bifida, needed an accessible vehicle. The community came together to raise the funds to purchase this new 2014 Grand Caravan. Pictured are some of the partners included in this fundraising effort: ( above, from the left) Perth
Civitan members Bob Farnel and Bonnie King, Beth Parks, Angie Parks-Gibson of DNE-Tay Valley Fire Department (Sherbrooke Ward), Tony Leduc (in the van), Kim Ryder-Darou, Brad Park (Sherbrooke Ward fire department), and Dave White and Bob Perreault of Lake 88 in back. In front are Dana Hegenbarth and Brad Kyle of Town and Country Chrysler.
Tony Leduc is a ‘free man’ thanks to the generosity of community ljweir@metroland.com
Community - Tony Leduc is a free man. At least that’s how the personable 22-year-old from Maberly says as he rolls his wheelchair into a newly accessible fire engine red 2014 Grand Caravan at Town and Country Chrysler on Monday, Nov. 3. Leduc, who was born with spin bifida and hyposyphalis, has been wheelchair bound all his life. He asked his aunt
once, “What’s it like to walk?” “I just burst out crying,” said Angie Parks-Gibson. Leduc picked up his new wheels after being outfitted by Braun-Ability. He can easily maneuver – with a little help from his friends – his chair into the van… something he hasn’t been able to do – ever. “It’s freakin’ awesome,” Leduc said, smiling from ear to ear. “Unbelievable. I can’t describe it. I’ve got my freedom back. I can do things. I can go places.

Let’s go!” Transportation for Tony, a fundraising effort to raise money for an accessible vehicle for Leduc, hit the $12,000 mark online through GoFundMe. Brad Parks, Leduc’s uncle, said the family was hoping to raise enough money to retrofit their used vehicle. “It was going to cost us about $3,000 to keep the old Astro van on the road. So we were hoping to raise enough money for a good used vehicle,” he said. The online fundraiser was kick-
started by Leduc’s good friend and former Smiths Falls Bears hockey player, Dustin Darou. Currently, Darou is in his third year at Northeastern University in Boston, an NCAA school. His mother, Kim Ryder-Darou, said Dustin wanted to come home to see Tony, but hasn’t been able to get away. “It would have been nice for him to see this,” she said. Through Dustin, in comes Lake 88.1 and Dave White, whose affiliation with the Bears hockey team parlayed into an online plug of the fundraiser alongside

colleague Bob Perreault. A story appeared in this paper last summer and from there, the amount of money raised hit the $12,500 mark. “Then, an anonymous donor called me up and said she wanted to donate the remainder to get Tony into a new van,” said Brad Kyle, owner of Town and Country Chrysler. When approached by this newspaper, the Lanark County woman said she’d prefer to remain out of the picture. See TRANSPORT page SF2

“I had a homeless man ask me for $40,000 the other day,” she said with a laugh. “But when I heard Tony’s story, I had no trouble emptying my pockets. It’s a great cause and he’s a nice boy.” Another substantial donation came from the Perth Civitan Club to the tune of $2,500. Bonnie King and Bob Farnel, who were on hand to represent the Civitan, said they had contact with Dustin last year. “We heard about Tony through Dustin who was at a club meeting to tell us about the fundraising effort,” said King. “Tony’s a young man who needed a lift… Dustin came with the request and we spoke about it as a group and came up with that number for a donation.” “We’re always there for the people of our community,” added Farnel. Leduc’s step-mother Beth Park said she’s relieved for her son. “He’s heavy,” she said. “It’s a challenge to lift him. He was only out three or four times last year.” Some of the events that Leduc is looking forward to including playing his guitar and singing at gigs, helping out in his community, and getting back with the Oddities Community Choir. “This Saturday I’m playing at the Champions for Kids fundraiser at PDCI,” he added. “I’m really excited that I will get to go in my new van.”

Enbridge will shoulder the remainder of the total $87,200 in work. The town will draw on its land servicing reserve to pay for its share. “It makes sense to support it,” said Coun. Chris Cummings, before wondering: “How did it happen?” “We don’t know,” said McKimm. “We did some reconstruction work in the ’80s,” she said, specifically, road widening in 1982. “That may have affected it,” she said. Part of the reason why there is ambiguity about 1982 as the possible moment when the gas line got closer to the
surface than it should have was because, “our records certainly are not what we would like them to be,” said chief administrative officer Malcolm Morris. “We think that what happened was that the road surface was lowered in 1982… that is the only reasonable explanation.” The rest of council agreed with Cummings that it was not an ideal situation, but one that had to be addressed for safety’s sake. “It’s something we don’t have much of a choice with,” said councillor and mayorelect Shawn Pankow.

Elizabethtown-Kitley wins pay-for-play face-off with Merrickville-Wolford Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
A compromise was reached for EK and MW “on the concept of each municipality contributing an amount to the town to effectively lower the surcharge,” wrote Morris, for the 2014-15 season at least. Further to this, “each municipality had developed a policy to provide financial assistance of $100 per registered youth user.” The short-term agreement was approved by EK council on Oct. 14, but MW council did not approve the concept at its Oct. 21 meeting. “This effectively means the existing surcharge of $378.29 will remain in place and registered users can apply directly to their municipality for a subsidy,” wrote Morris, later adding in his own voice, “we need to continue to work with our neighbours in Merrickville-Wolford” towards a solution, Morris said. In the meantime, the cheque for EK’s $8,559.59 arrived recently at Smiths Falls town hall to essentially reduce the surcharge to $111. “This has been a tough topic over the last six months,” said Coun. Chris Cummings. He said he had been looking over council notes from six years ago and cost sharing fees had been discussed back in 2008, too – in the $350 to $400 range. “(So) it’s not an increase. It’s exactly what we said it would be,” he said of the MK amount.
News – Elizabethtown-Kitley (EK) residents will end up paying far less to use the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre than their cousins in Merrickville-Wolford (MW). A special meeting of Smiths Falls’ town council’s committee-of-the-whole heard on Monday, Nov. 3, that EK residents will only pay $111.16, down from the current $378.29, while MW residents will pay the full cost – though their township will later reimburse them. The $378.29 surcharge for out-oftown residents to play at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre and Youth Arena was approved by council Nov. 12, 2013. Since that time, however, “we have had a little bit of feedback and it has escalated over the last few months,” said chief administrative officer (CAO) Malcolm Morris, especially with the imminent arrival of winter sports season. Mayor Dennis Staples agreed to meet with various user groups and governments including Rideau Lakes, Drummond/North Elmsley, Montague, as well as EK and MW at an Oct. 1 meeting. “The purpose of the meeting was to hear directly from the user groups to understand the impact the surcharge may have on participation rates,” wrote Morris in his report to council. “Some of the pushback they (council Record News makes waves At the town council session later that leaders) were getting from past registrants was that it (the rate) was exces- evening, a report on the cost sharing decision by MW by the Smiths Falls Resive,” said Morris.
cord News’ reporter Stacey Roy, printed on Oct. 30, proved to be a hot topic of conversation. After telling council that he had spoken with Roy on Oct. 31, Mayor Dennis Staples said that “it’s not my intention… to negotiate through the media.” Roy had attended the MW council meeting on Oct. 21, and reported that some politicians there had felt that they
had not received sufficient information on the proposal from Smiths Falls – a point to which Staples took exception. “Smiths Falls is committed to providing the information that is needed,” Staples said. “I am surprised and disappointed,” in the MW council, he said. “I am surprised you would not have asked these questions before you made this decision. Our door continues to remain
open… if they want to continue the dialogue.” Coun. Chris Cummings was also upset with MW’s decision and charges of a lack of information. He charged that this information “circulated… several times,” and that “for a township to suggest it was not getting its information, I know who they are,” said Cummings.

Budget 2015 sees staffers flying partially blind in uncharted territory desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Malcolm Morris may not be looking into the abyss, but Budget 2015 is looking to be a journey into the great unknown. The chief administrative officer laid out to a special meeting of Smiths Falls’ town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Monday, Nov. 3 that, to borrow a phrase from former US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the 2015 town budget process is, as yet, full of “known knowns,” and “unknown knowns.” By far the biggest variable at play is the future of OMPF (Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund), which, he wrote in a report to council, is being reduced to the tune of $25 million a year, “with the stated goal of reducing the fund to $500 million by 2016. Staff expects an announcement related to the town’s 2015 allocation by mid-November.” What does that mean for Smiths Falls? In 2014, the town’s approved operating budget was $14,722,055 – of which $3.7 million came from the OMPF. “What does that mean?” asked Morris. “We don’t know yet. That’s obviously a pressing point.” Residential property assessment will also play a part – and is yet another important unknown, not likely to become known until mid-December, but, “preliminary calculations suggest additional taxation revenue due to assessment increases could exceed $350,000.” The news was not completely dire. Morris surmised that the town could be on course for a small, year-end surplus of $5,000. “It’s still out there,” he cautioned. However, revenue generated from Provincial
Offences Act fines continues to be an area of decline. “There will be a potential reduction in revenue…approximately $25,000,” he wrote. “That is concerning for everyone,” he said. He blamed the decline in revenues on a “glut” of speeding fines having worked its way through the system. Another variable that is not normally a part of the annual budget discussion lies in the fact that the collective bargaining agreement between the town and staffers who are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) will see their contract expire in April. The town’s non-unionized staff will also see their contract expire at the end of this year. “Wage settlements may not be known prior to budget approval,” wrote Morris. One of the few certainties around the council chambers is that there will be two new faces taking oaths of office on Dec. 1 – John Maloney and Joe Gallipeau. While Coun. Shawn Pankow will become the new mayor that day, Coun. Ken Graham, who was defeated in his bid for the mayor’s chains of office, will leave the chambers. But even this shuffle around the horseshoe has an impact on the budget deliberations. Coun. Chris Cummings recalled when he was first elected, and the then CAO gave him some “homework” to do before his swearing in, including budget material, so that he could have a hand in budget negotiations. “We’re hitting the ground running Dec. 1,” said Cummings. On the other side of the table, Graham said that he was up to the task of helping to set budget priorities, but, with two new councillors, and two
councillors absent at that meeting (Jay Brennan and Dawn Quinn), “those four people can change the landscape of that budget.” “I’m happy to give staff direction,” Graham added. “But I will not be part of the solution come Dec. 1.” Pankow wondered aloud if a delay into December would wreak havoc with the budget timetable Morris had set down – which led to a tentative, hesitant ‘no’ from Morris. “It’s going to be tight with the holiday season, to come up with a budget proposal by Jan. 7, 2015,” said Morris. Outgoing Mayor Dennis Staples advised that “council would be well-advised to stick to the schedule. I think you (Morris) are on the right track.” Morris detailed that he would be using the Statistics Canada consumer price index (CPI), more commonly known as the “cost-of-living” index, to set a benchmark for tax increases, if any. He would
be using the one determined for Ottawa-Gatineau, but conceded that “we recognize that the CPI is high.” He agreed that the mood of the room appeared to be leaning towards him seeking a Top Five list from council until December – but that did not stop mayor-elect Pankow from offering some early opinions. “My preference would be for looking for (any) efficiencies you could find,” said Pankow. Morris and his staff had already put together a preliminary schedule for the 2015 budget process. The tentative dates are as follows: Dec. 15: Community Donations Program budget envelope determination. Jan. 7, 2015: Draft budget presentation. Jan. 21: Budget deliberations. Feb. 4: Budget deliberations (if required). March 9: Final budget approval.

Anne Shropshire, curator at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario, was the recipient of this year’s Joyce Brennan Award. She is pictured here (centre) accepting the award from (left) Zoë Ashby, president of the Smiths Falls and District Arts and Culture Council and Chris Cummings, Smiths Falls town councillor. “RMEO is now in a much more stable and productive position,” said Cummings. He said the number of visitors to the museum has increased from 2,600 in 2010 to 6,500 in 2014. The museum now offers many more programs like the annual Trainfest event, train rides, guided tours, the Overnights on a Caboose program as well as an Edwardian Tea and the rotation of special exhibits. “The site is being maintained, the artifacts restored or stabilized, and planning has begun for overall site improvement,” said Cummings. “We still have a lot more work to do,” said Shropshire. She likened the evolution of the museum as it found its legs and began walking as a marathon not a race. She acknowledged all of the volunteers, supporters and visitors to the museum who have all helped in their own ways to make the museum a success. She said that many of the people who live in Smiths Falls have some kind of connection to the railway here. “That is something we should be proud of and we as a community should embrace,” she said. “As the years go by, our history is disappearing. As railway lines are torn up and as our community ages it is more important than ever for us to recognize and celebrate our heritage.”
She said the history of the railway was not all about the number of trains that came through Smiths Falls. “It is the stories about the men and women who worked on the railway, the families they raised here, the business they supported. This is the story of Smiths Falls. This is our heritage,” said Shropshire. She also took on the massive Smiths Falls Railway History project in 2012. The community-based project highlighted the town’s rich railway history. “The result was a masterful work of preservation and presentation of Smiths Falls economic and cultural ties to the railway. The oral histories preserve the tales of some last workers involved with steam locomotives, some of whom have already passed away,” said Cummings. In addition to her receiving a framed award certificate, Shropshire also received a set of three ceramic jars created by artisan Alida Rutte, an exhibiting member of the Smiths Falls Art Journey. The Joyce Brennan Award was inaugurated in 2011 to recognize significant contributions to art and culture in the Smiths Falls Area.

News - The Joyce Brennan Award for outstanding contributions to arts and culture in the Smiths Falls area has been awarded to Anne Shropshire. She is the curator of the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario in Smiths Falls. Every year, the Smiths Falls and District Arts and Culture Council, presents the award to a deserving member of the community who has contributed to arts and culture in the Smiths Falls area. The council marked the special moment by presenting the award on Saturday evening at the Art Journey exhibit held at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. Presented by Smiths Falls’ Coun. Chris Cummings, he said, “I first met Anne in 2009 when she was volunteering at the Heritage House Museum. Anne saw great value in this museum and worked closely with our staff and the board on several projects to benefit the community.” A year later Shropshire approached RMEO to work as a volunteer. “The railway museum board quickly identified that Anne could be pivotal to helping them find the elusive sustainability they had sought for so long,” explained Cummings. RMEO had been relying on a volunteer board to keep things on track at the museum. They had not had a full-time administrator for 10 years. The museum was beginning to struggle and if left unattended, would have to close its doors. The museum applied for a grant and Shropshire was hired on full-time. “I do not know what drew me to the railway museum other than I needed a job and they needed help. I approached then-president Tony Humphrey and made him an offer… I hear you need some assistance,” she said. Her hope was to find funding for a position at the museum and in return the museum might hire her. She was successful in getting the museum funding and as a result she took over as its curator. “I really had no idea what I was walking into,” said Shropshire. “Being a part of the railway museum has been a rollercoaster ride. A lot has been accomplished in the last four years.” One of the first things to get done at the museum was to rewrite its mandate and vision statements. “We are beginning to position ourselves as a regional resource for railway history and heritage in eastern Ontario,” said Shropshire. She added that she believes the museum has become one of the top draws for visitors to the area and at the same time become a meaningful museum in the Smiths Falls community. Cummings said Shropshire has been successful in building a cultural asset out of the fading museum. She also helped set up the Smiths Falls and District Arts and Culture Council in 2010. In 2012 she was elected as a board member of the Lanark County Tourism Association. Just this year, she was elected as a director of the Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce. “I was a member of the board at the time and there were many issues to tackle, including a crushing debt load, poor public relations, crumbling artifacts, reduced attendance and a dwindling volunteer base,” said Cummings. He explained that Shropshire’s efforts had resulted in a workable marketing and business plan. The plans ultimately increased revenue through grants, private donations, public funding, increased attendance and provided for an enhanced gift store.

pinion – Television and radio allow you to have people in your home you otherwise would not have in your home. To borrow a phrase there from the late Sir David Frost, that was certainly how many fans of the now disgraced CBC Radio One host Jian Ghomeshi were feeling last week. I’ve listened to his show since it debuted in 2007, the year I started working for a newspaper in Ottawa. I worked very long hours for the start-up weekly, and would often be starting my working day on the road, listening to his show at 10 a.m. – and ending my day with his repeat broadcast at 10 p.m. Needless to say, we spent a lot of time together. But I have not been able to stop following this unfolding scandal – not only in its mesmerizing train-wreckunfolding-in-front-of-you way, but also because of how horrifying the violence he is alleged to have carried out was, and because of how disappointed I, and other fans, are in him. He was supposed to be better than this. Like me, he is the son of immigrant parents, his from Iran, mine from Ireland. He came of age in the Toronto suburbs, him in Thornhill, me in Brampum’s Farmsteads to Frontlines Concert, Sunday Nov. ton. We both attended York University. I 23!

Letter to the Editor
We can’t afford Holman’s program, reader DEAR EDITOR, I read Mr. Holman’s (Rideau Lakes Township mayor) response to the question about the narrow margin of his win. He indicated he would continue with his program, etc. I would suggest to Mr. Holman that he take another look at the numbers and realize that many more people voted against his program than for it. He speaks continually of the necessity to borrow, in order to get grants. If you have to borrow, you can’t afford the grant, and certainly not at the present
rate we are spending. He is not managing the needs of the township. Example: preventive maintenance on the equipment to meet the demands on it, and understanding its capabilities and limitations. We are not getting that. We can’t afford Mr. Holman or his program. Rideau Lakes is heading deeper into debt while Mr. Holman will walk away more than well compensated for creating this debt.

Both Dobson and Melissa Hillier of the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce attended the Funders Forum in Perth this past March where they listened to the work of the Perth and District Community Foundation and realized how much their communities would benefit from it. “We both came from the meeting with the same opinion but we spoke to different people,” Hillier said. The strength of such a program is that it will welcome applications from causes identified by the yet to be created Smiths Falls-Montague Community Fund board of directors. “We are trying to recruit a couple of strategic partners,” Hillier said. Specifically, they are looking for local lawyers and financial advisors who may be willing to work on the board as they are often in contact with individuals who are making decisions on their charitable donations. Those who can apply to the fund can be changed by the board based on local need at the time, but always the dollars donated will be held in trust for the benefit of the community. “We’re not replacing anything that’s already in existence, we’re hopefully filling a void,” Hillier added. “It’s a legacy.” The community fund is coming at a good time as Smiths Falls prepares to begin its 2015 budget discussions. Last year, the town capped community grant support at $80,000 after receiving $300,000 worth of requests from community groups. The new Smiths Falls-Montague Community Fund will hopefully take some of this pressure from future councils in the years to come. “All the money that will be donated to Smiths Falls and Montague will go back to Smiths Falls and Montague,” Dobson noted. The first steps for the new fund will be to establish their board and then begin building the fund. A meeting is being planned for later this month to discuss further details and formally kick off the fund. “I think we should come out of that with the opportunity to say ‘here’s what the plan is’,” Pankow said. This will be the third meeting that has been held for the fund since those initial discussions in the spring.

News - Work to form the Smiths Falls-Montague Community Fund continues in the community with an eye to providing financial support to local initiatives via a legacy fund. The newly-developed community fund is thought to be guided by a Smiths Falls-Montague board of directors with administrative support from the Perth and District Community Foundation. Steve Hillier, the Perth foundation president is pleased to see Smiths Falls and area take on this initiative, saying it is the Governor General David Johnston’s desire to see a community fund in each community in time for Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017. Hillier said the foundation would help administer the Smiths Falls-Montague Community Fund until it has grown enough that it can operate on its own. “That would be the ultimate goal,” Hillier said. Shawn Pankow, financial planner and Smiths Falls’ mayor-elect, has been involved in discussions on the fund and said he is keen to establish a formal structure and set up agreements with the Perth foundation to move this concept forward. Right now it’s “an ad hoc group of people with a common interest looking at possibilities of doing it,” Pankow said. If created, the fund will accept donations and bequests from those wishing to support local causes now and in the future. These funds will be invested and the interest realized from it will be used to support causes that apply for the funds. Perth has operated a fund for 13 years (2001) giving out $40,000 a year to various charities. “We currently administer $1.1 million in assets,” Hillier said. Hillier has been speaking with other Smiths Falls’ financial planners for the last two-and-ahalf years to gauge interest in starting a fund, and said he is pleased to see the interest take off as are individuals involved in its development. “This is something we’re going to set up now that’s going to be here for history,” remarked Montague Reeve Bill Dobson.

she saw right through his act – and that night, we shared our first kiss.) Justice will hopefully run its course from here on in. If the allegations against him are true, then there is something seriously, mentally and emotionally, sick about this guy. If true, he does deserve our scorn – and, our help, so that, hopefully, this never happens to another woman at his hands. To be clear, what he is alleged to have done is shocking, sickening and, for me, disappointing. It shakes me to the core. This type of “Street Angel/House Devil” personality, as my mother used to call it, is not usual in radio. My uncles John and Mike, and aunt Maria, formed a rock band in the 1990s called Walnut to Zurich. A sequel to other bands they had been members in, like Mrs. Joyce (named after the woman who lived next door), they received some Irish air play and chart success in the late ’90s. They saw for themselves the Jekyll and Hyde personalities that radio people can present. (Not surprising that this is common with radio types – listen to your favourite morning show tomorrow. Nothing nefarious, in all likelihood, but no one can be that chipper all the time, right?) They went on the popular Jerry Ryan show on trendy 2FM, and were surprised to find him rather cold and impersonal – off air, at least, though he was Mr. Personality when the “On Air” light came on. Another day, another interview, with the more conservative, earnest, slightly stuffy Pat Kenny, on the more newsy RTE Radio One. He was certainly reserved on air – but off air, was warm, welcoming, genuinely interested in the band, where they

Town seeks input on rec vehicle parking Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - Response to a proposal to place limits on how long and which types of vehicles can park on personal property in town has lit up social media, so the town hall is taking to the computer with an online survey in hopes of receiving strong feedback on the issue. “My hope, really is that this will take a mind of its own on social media,” said Nicole McKernan, town planner. The amendments speak to limiting the amount of time someone can park an RV or recreational vehicle (longer than 8.5 metres) on their property to three days maximum. The amendments also put a limit of one recreational vehicle, including trailers that can be parked on a property in town
unless housed in a garage. The brief online survey is five questions long and available on the town website (www.smithsfalls.ca) under the scrolling news feed section. Residents can also link directly to the survey at http://smithsfalls.ca/surveys.cfm. The bylaw department has brought these amendments forward, McKernan said. She is currently working to get clarity on why these changes must be made adding if there is no justification the amendment won’t go forward. While discussion online and via email has been strong over this issue since first discussed this September, the town staff has received little formal feedback they can bring to council where a decision on the amendments will be made. However, a number of email comments have been received, including a couple just last week.

were from, etc., doing a bravura job putting them at ease. Turns out that Ryan had his own troubles: a cocaine addiction, which eventually resulted in his overdose death in April of 2010, which shocked the nation, and even those closest to him, though, later, there were rumours that people knew, or, at least suspected his problems. Sound familiar? There is next to nothing funny about this case, save for one attempt where I suggested to my father that, as a complete 180 degree turn in personality and temperament, Q should hire Stuart McLean as host (“Arcade Fire’s lyrics electrify and hang in the air like the warm smell of Mary McConigle’s spice apple pie cooling on the window sill before the Homecoming Dance.”) I wrote to my friend Justin last week that it was perhaps a blessing that Jian’s father Frank died in early October before this all broke. “Yeah,” Justin texted back. “But his mother is (still alive) and that’s even worse.” I don’t know how to end this. I want justice for the women, more than anything. As men we need to stand up against violence against women. Our wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, aunts, etc. deserve a better world. With three women now going forward to Toronto police, and at least one of his so-far eight accusers going public (Trailer Park Boys actor Lucy DeCoutere) the only good that may, we pray, have come from this, is that this is a watershed moment in our society’s evolution, where we change how we talk and react to violence against women. This type of behaviour didn’t start with Jian – but we can start to make sure it ends with him.

The 2013 opening ceremonies for the Celebration of Lights saw more than 700 visitors to Victoria Park, where they viewed more than 10,000 lights. The ceremonies featured music, horse drawn wagon rides, free popcorn and hot chocolate – not to mention a visit from Santa. Pankow also estimates there were approximately 4,000 additional visitors who either strolled or drove through the park to view the lights during the month-long period it was open. “We’re very grateful for the turnout we saw at the opening ceremonies and the New Year’s party. We saw young
children, teenagers and adults at the event… everyone can appreciate the festive cheer in Christmas lights,” Susan Richards, vice-president of Together Joseph Morin/METROLAND Smiths Falls, said.

Hit and run driver found to be impaired News - On Oct 31 at about 2:35 p.m. it is alleged that an individual was driving in a local mall parking lot. The individual caught the attention of witnesses when he struck a parked vehicle while attempting to park and then drove away. The accused returned to the scene a short time later and was arrested after officers made observations he was impaired by alcohol. The accused was transported to the police station where he provided two breath samples which were found to be one and one-half times over the legal limit. A 58-year-old Smiths Falls man was charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, over 80 and failure to stop at scene of accident. The accused was also charged under the Highway Traffic Act for failing to surrender li-
cence and under the Liquor Licence Act for having open alcohol in a motor vehicle. The accused was released on a promise to appear in court. The allegations have not been proven in court.

Keynote speaker highlights power of social media during UCDSB summit News – Teachers must embrace social media and other technology in the classroom to effectively engage today’s students, a renowned educational consultant and blogger told 300 delegates Oct. 23 at the 2014 Small School Summit at the NAV CENTRE in Cornwall. Instead of maintaining schools where iPods, iPads, Facebook and Twitter are banned, teachers must actively encourage their use in the classroom, said educational consultant George Couros in his keynote speech. This technology can be used not just to share facts but to let students experience the joy of discovery and to understand the process of learning so they can be successful for years to come. “Everywhere else when we ask kids a question today they will use their phones to Google the answer,” said Couros. “But for some reason this doesn’t happen much in schools. “We need to teach kids where they learn, so why don’t we go to the places where kids are learning already?” Teachers who avoid Facebook, Twit-
ter and other tools in their lessons are making a mistake, he said. “It says to a kid right away that you don’t trust them – or worse – what you are doing is boring them.” He encouraged teachers to network both in person and on the web to find innovative teaching ideas and then “remix” them to make them even better for their students. In his 45-minute presentation, Couros demonstrated how lessons delivered through YouTube, Twitter and other technologies can make students enthusiastic about attending class. He spoke about a school in Norway where students actually wrote their own book and published it online. The teacher was smart enough to find students’ strengths in the production, so some were involved in writing and others – who were savvy in social media – handled marketing efforts. While the project met the needs of the curriculum, the teacher played to the strengths of the students to keep them engaged. In Couros’s school board, the Park-

George Couros talked about the value of social media in engaging students during the Upper Canada District School Board’s 2014 Small School Summit Oct. 23. land School Division in Stony Plain, Alberta, schools host an Innovation Week in which students can design and build projects that really interest them – creating things such as a hovercraft powered
by a leaf blower. Board schools actively share the learning on Facebook and Twitter so other students can get excited about it and find ways to improve on current projects. To demonstrate the power of learning, he also showed video of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s video conference from the International Space Station with students from across Canada. Students were able to sing a song with the astronaut and ask him questions. “Just imagine what a kid can learn about being an astronaut by talking with a real astronaut while he is in space!” he said. An amazing moment during his speech was when Couros discussed a teacher who used music to help a student with a stuttering problem. The video showed the culmination of their sessions in which the student made a speech to his classmates and teaching staff, bringing them to tears. In another video, he showed how a baby with a hearing problem, crying and uncomfortable in his diminished world,

Extending knowledge on extended warranties, protection packages warranties and they often pay whatever price is quoted. With carmakers getting more and more competitive every day, price advertising is becoming the norm (and car retailers generally approve of this move because it provides more transparency). But being competitive also means cutting retailer margins and mainstream vehicle dealers selling cars in the $15,000 to $25,000 range have seen their new-vehicle profits reduced drastically over the last decade. So to keep up with the costs of operating large buildings and lots in prime urban zones, dealership principals put a lot of pressure on other departments within their stores to pick up the slack. This is why today, at most stores, the finance office can earn more gross profit per sale than the vehicle itself. So when faced with the option to purchase an extended warranty what are the pros and cons? Consider your financial exposure. Carmakers on average put away about 10 per cent of the value of each vehicle they sell for future warranty expenses. This money is only for the term
Car Counsellor Brian turner
of the carmaker’s warranty liability (three years for basic coverage and five years for power-train plans on most autos). It also takes into consideration that a carmaker gets a great break on labour rates and parts prices that they pay to dealerships for warranty repairs. So if on a $20,000 car, the automaker is banking $2,000 for their discounted five-year liability and if you plan on keeping the vehicle for eight years and you don’t have a large budget for major repair expenses, an extended warranty might be in your best interests (if the price is right). What are you buying? Auto retailers, as independent businesses are free to offer a wide choice of extended warranties.
Not all of these are manufacturerbacked. Automakers all offer their own plans and dealerships sometimes offer independent plans as well because they have a better profit margin. Hands down the automakers plans are better. First they usually cover more components. Secondly they guarantee repairs are completed using factory parts not after-market or remanufactured or used units. They are never voided because you might have been two weeks late in getting an oil change completed. These plans are honoured without question at any dealership you may visit (helpful if you break down during an out-of-town trip). And finally they give you another place to turn in case of a disagreement between you and the dealership over a specific repair (the automaker’s consumer office). How much should you pay? Like anything else for sale at a retailer, prices are usually negotiable. It would be nice if carmakers posted their extended warranty pricing on their websites just like their vehicles, but they don’t. The plans vary widely depending on length of coverage,

vehicle type and equipment level. For example, it’s much cheaper to buy an extended warranty for a basic compact car than it is for a fully-loaded SUV. Most carmakers’ plans start at more than $2,000 and go up from there. What type of deal you get will depend on how much profit was made on the vehicle, the margin on the plan itself, your business history with the dealership, and your negotiating skills.

Lifestyle – With all the online resources for auto shoppers today, it’s amazing that a good portion of clients that walk into dealerships know little or nothing about the product that brings an equal and often greater amount of profit to the retailer than the vehicle sale itself. We’re talking about extended warranties and protection packages (think paint sealant, rustproofing, and fabric guard). Car buyers will spend hours researching prices, features, and financing rates as well as money to subscribe to dealer-pricing websites (these sites really aren’t worth the money because they seldom provide info on manufacturer-to-dealer rebates and due to the fact that incentive programs can change daily). They will also spend hours schlepping from dealership to dealership and haggling and negotiating with sales reps until they’re sure they’ve gotten the best price possible. But then when they sit down with the dealer’s finance manager/consultant to arrange payment terms, they seldom give a second thought to the prices and options on extended

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Conflicting messages confuse you this week, Aries. Just don’t let this confusion keep you from doing what you think is right. Choose a course and stick with it.
Libra, try your hardest to make a tricky set of circumstances work to your advantage. Working with a partner is a great way to get things done.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Don’t be too hard on yourself this week, Taurus. You really do not need to push yourself unless you are feeling motivated to do so. If you feel like relaxing, so be it.
Scorpio, you are better at dealing with things when they’re out in the light of day. You don’t like to be secretive, nor do you like the idea of others keeping secrets.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Gemini, stick to the outskirts of the room and be a quiet observer of what’s going on around you instead of being the center of attention. You may enjoy being a fly on the wall for a change.
Sagittarius, do not look at a current problem as something that will always block your success and happiness. Instead, use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Cancer, this week you may feel an unusual need to be noticed and appreciated by others. Embrace the spotlight and make the most of this opportunity to share your thoughts.
Capricorn, though you may feel like lashing out at others, this week you show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get through the week, and things will turn around.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Leo, you may find it hard to establish your priorities this week, but you have a good head on your shoulders and will figure out the path to take. Give yourself a chance to have fun.
The messages you are receiving from everyone around you seem mottled and mixed, Aquarius. Instead of socializing with others, maybe you just need some alone time.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Virgo, do the right thing even if it costs you something emotionally. Your actions may be carefully monitored, and someone is learning by your example.
Pisces, speak up if you do not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not know how you’re feeling.

Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again. Never forgotten Lori

Smiths Falls singer home for release party Nov. 22 Lifestyle – There’s something unique about singer/songwriter Kate Weekes. Most young people I know growing up in small towns can’t wait to get to the ‘big city’: the glitz, the glamour, the nightlife to find their own identity. Not so for Kate. Leaving her hometown of Smiths Falls ten years ago, she headed out on the Trans-Canada Highway, riding her thumb and ended up at 5,800 kilometres later, in the Yukon Territory. She found her own way, settling into living in a cabin in the woods outside Whitehorse, working with 17 sled dogs during the long winters and paddling the many mighty rivers around her through the summer. Not your average gal. Having grown up in a musical family with her mother, Carolyn Stewart (Toasted Westerns, founder of the Blue Skies Fiddle Orchestra), father Alan Weekes (Up Against the Wall, amongst others) and having both parents deeply involved in the evolution of the infamous Blue Skies Music Festival, it’s not much wonder Kate picked up the musical bug. I’m told their home had a regular trail of who’s who of Canadian folkies and others through (Willie P. Bennett, Stan Rogers, Dave Bradstreet, Trout Fishing in America, Cathy Fink, Dick Donald and more). Kate released her first solo, selftitled CD in 2007 and from that won the Beth Ferguson Award as well as the Mac Beattie Award for writing “quintessentially Canadian”. Since then, she’s toured extensively and recorded a couple of other discs with other players including collaborations with Grant Simpson, a Yukon stride piano player. With Simpson’s quintet, they played at the Nanjing Jazz and World Music Festival in China in 2013. From these experiences she says, “I’ve been playing with some really good musicians over the last few years. I’m more conscious of my playing and how the songs are structured.” Through her travels she’s been keeping a journal and many of the songs on her new CD Frost on Black Fur, have culminated from her notations. A trip a couple of years ago, where she spent two months in Ireland resulted in Sing it to the Hills, where she sings of Irish tour guides who struggle with feelings of joy, grief and oppression associated with the country’s tumultuous past. Other tunes are about characters she’s met on her journeys, mushing, paddling or touring. She initiated a Kickstarter campaign online, where people donate
monies to help offset costs of recording. She hit her goal of $6,000 within a month, which tells of how excited fans are to hear new works so was pretty encouraging for her. From there she went into the Old Crow Studio in Whitehorse with Bob Hamilton producing. I first became aware of Hamilton’s skill as a writer and producer from a CD he did with Nathan Tinkham, who’s accompanied Ian Tyson, Cindy Church and been part of the Great Western Orchestra. A song caught my ear at a party on the French Line, back in 2000 so I immediately went to the CD player and found the group was called The Undertakin’ Daddies. I later had the opportunity to hear them live at a music conference. Hamilton’s producing only gives higher praise for this new work. There are some people in the folk music world I listen to and here’s what Mitch Podolak, who helped create the Winnipeg, Vancouver,
Edmonton and Calgary Folk Festivals as well as HomeRoutes says about Kate: “Kate Weekes has the ability to capture the Canadian state of being with deftly placed imagery like a painter covers the canvas in extraordinary colour. Kate can use a few well-placed words to describe the most complex of ideas in the most transparent way. Totally an engaging human being, she is one of the new generations of young artists that have shaken the older generation of songwriters and music fans with clarity of purpose.” I’ve heard Kate many times over many years. Most memorable were two events – most recently was at Blue Skies Festival a year ago where she played with her trio on the same stage she grew up sitting around most of her now 32 years, her mom looking on proudly from the side stage. The other was at the Perth eatery, once called the Goodwood Oven, (now Around The Corner), a few years ago. Kate was backed by her parents Alan, Carolyn and her brother Adam (yes, that wonderful voice on Lake 88). And yes, Kate has decided to return to Ontario so hopefully we’ll be able to see and hear more of her.
You, too, will have an opportunity to see Kate Weekes at a CD release on Saturday, Nov. 22 at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. It’s a 7:30 p.m. start and she’ll have local act, Conspiracy of Sound, opening as well as being joined by Yukon musician Grant Simpson. Tickets are available at Shadowfax in Perth – students and seniors, $15 and adults, $20. Should be a fun night. Upcoming events • Saturday, Nov. 15: CD release for Ball & Chain & The Wreckers at McDonald’s Corners Agricultural Hall. Two-step and waltz lesson at 8 p.m. and band at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 at door. Michael Ball and Jody Benjamin always put on a great show. • Thursday, Nov. 27 at 7 p.m.: Music On McLean House Concerts presents, the Maritimes’ own Dan McKinnon. Singer/songwriter/historian/storyteller McKinnon has often been compared to the late Stan Rogers and his rich baritone voice is one that has been satisfying crowds in the UK, Australia, across Canada and the US. Call 613-267-7902 to reserve your seat at $20 each. Support live music everywhere.

Entrepreneurs pour love of town into new business venture sroy@perfprint.ca
News - A desire to see more jobs in town and a brighter future for their young children has sown the seeds of a brewing company in Smiths Falls and created this year’s 2014 Young Entrepreneurs Award winners. Nick Ritchie and Andrew Howard are young professionals in Smiths Falls who had lunch Aug. 11, 2012, which resulted in the pair committing to take action in bringing jobs to their community, even if they had to open a business themselves to do it. From that afternoon, the 4 Degrees Brewing Company was born. “If we’ve gainfully employed 30 people then we have a successful business,” Ritchie said. The jobs will likely be in promotions and sales, but the entrepreneurial duo is taking it one step at a time. This summer they contracted a brewery to brew their first beer - True North of 7 – for them and began taste trials with family and friends who were willing to give them honest feedback. “People seemed to really enjoy it,” Howard said. This beer is a light body American ale that is marketed to the active, outdoors individual. Plans are to have it on tap in area bars by the new year where they can gauge the demand before moving forward with their second beer, South of 7, which is going to be an amber ale. It is hoped the tap handles for the bars will be in within two months. “That’s really the face of your company,” Ritchie said of the tap handles, which are currently in production. The men are now looking for property in town in which to open a pub/brewery where 4 Degrees Brewing Company could make its permanent mark. The company has already made inroads in the local market by taking part in an Andress family wedding. “Dan Andress has been a huge supporter of North of 7,” Ritchie said. The company has purchased a self-pouring
beer machine making it one of five in Canada and currently, the only mobile unit. Other machines can be found in TD Place (Ottawa), Rogers Centre, Air Canada Centre, and in the London Knights arena. The machine works by placing a cup on the machine and pushing down. The cup is then filled from the bottom, which is said to provide 95 per cent keg yield while filling faster. “It’s the coolest thing we have so far,” Howard said. The owners said they feel the machine will be a great rental item for special events and will serve to further market their product to the drinking public. Award On Oct. 29 Howard and Ritchie received the 2014 Young Entrepreneur Award from the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce. “They had done a lot of research” in college, quipped Glenn Allen, director of Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation who sponsored the award. “Thank you very much,” Howard said in receiving the award. “We want to be involved in a lot of stuff,” Ritchie added. Open Bonspiel This February the brewing company will team up with Andress’ Independent Grocer to sponsor the Holman Hogan Bonspiel at the Smiths Falls Curling & Squash Club. The open bonspiel is schedule for Feb. 27 to March 1 and is open to 16 teams. “We’re hoping with the success of this event that it will end up being an annual event,” said Stacey Roy/METROLAND Dan Andress. Glenn Allen, director with Valley Heartland CFDC (left) presents the Young Entrepreneurs The upcoming winter competition aims to build on the success of the 2014 Tankard. The Award to Nick Ritchie (centre) and Andrew Howard (right), owners of 4 Degrees Brewing Com2015 event is in honour of Marshal Hogan with pany that is looking to establish in Smiths Falls soon. all funds going to the Spinal Cord Injury Ontario organization.

News - Tweed has caught the interest of international media in its first year of business and Bruce Linton, chairman and interim CEO, projects this interest will only continue growing over the next year. He addressed the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce at its AGM on Oct. 29, at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. Linton said he expects the Canadian government will allow the production of oils and creams from cannabis in the next year following continued pressure from the rapid growth of the American market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Canada is doing is extremely orderly,â&#x20AC;? Linton said of the prospective opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the Hershey facility be a terrific place to create these products?â&#x20AC;? The Tweed facility currently has 80 employees and anticipates it may reach as high as 100 in the coming year. The medicinal marijuana company currently uses 10 per cent of 472,430-square-foot facility. Tweed has been spending this year preparing for its first batch of marijuana product from its greenhouse in
southern Ontario, which has already been received at the local facility. The company has been working with Guy Saumure & Sons Construction to construct the first of 12 growrooms. These rooms have 88-100 1,000-watt light bulbs. Chris Saumure, chamber president, extended his thanks to Tweed and Linton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for bringing the jobs to town. We really appreciate it,â&#x20AC;? Saumure said. These grow-rooms are where the plant clippings mature after being snipped from the mother plant to become its own rooted plant. Linton said about 70 per cent of these clippings have survived the replanting process to date, but he is hopeful the data being collected in the soon-to-be-finished lab room will result in better yields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have expertise but we try to have ideas,â&#x20AC;? Linton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have somebody who knows how to do this because it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been done at this scale anywhere in the world.â&#x20AC;? Tweed projects that in a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time they will be the largest producer and seller and revenue generator in their sector, but he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking anything for granted, adding he also anticipated
two-to-three acquisitions in the sector. Tweed isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only company of its kind, but it has garnered the lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of media attention at home and abroad, which Linton gives credit to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. He underlined the importance of this attention on the community when he said Smiths Falls â&#x20AC;&#x153;was at the forefront of an interesting revolution.â&#x20AC;? A camera crew, complete with boom mic, which followed Lintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every move during the AGM, served to further emphasize the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position in their sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovation. The camera team was from CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s documentary team, Doc Zone which will be airing a one-hour documentary on the company while discussing the sector in Canada and across the border. Linton said he feels there is so much potential for the healing and economic powers of cannabis in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good opportunity to tax marijuana,â&#x20AC;? Linton said. In its first year, Tweed has opened its greenhouse in southern Ontario, received its licence (Jan. 27, 2014), began to publicly trade (April 2014) and raised $28 million in eight months.

Carbon Monoxide week an opportunity to educate on new law Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - The Smiths Falls Fire Department reminds residents to put a carbon monoxide alarm on their wish list this season. Nov. 1 to 7 is the first Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Week to be held in Ontario, and offers the local department an opportunity to educate residents and landlords of the new law requiring CO alarms in homes and buildings that was passed Oct. 15, 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just gives them that extra peace of mind,â&#x20AC;? said Randy Normandin, fire prevention officer in Smiths Falls. CO alarms are now required outside of sleeping quarters and near your furnace room. Such alarms have been required in new builds since 2001, but this new Ontario Fire Code update will require the same standard for existing homes across the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The change to the Fire Code is all about making sure we keep our families and homes safe. I urge all Ontarians to install a carbon monoxide alarm in their homes immediately,â&#x20AC;?
said Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services in a Oct. 14 press release. CO is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas that can come from hot water heaters, stoves, furnaces, fireplaces, and vehicles in garages. Symptoms from CO are headaches, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of consciousness and, if a high enough concentration, death. Normandin says CO symptoms are different from a flu in that there is no fever present. If your CO alarm goes off you are to get everyone out of the house, including pets, and call 911 from outside the home. The best prevention, according to Normandin, is to complete annual maintenance of your hot water and furnace systems, adding these costs are insignificant compared to over 50 Canadians a year who die from CO exposure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To put a value on a life I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cheap,â&#x20AC;? Normandin said.
landlords of properties six storeys or less who do not have CO alarms in their home. Those higher than six storeys will see their enforcement begin as of November, 2015. The local fire department will be making CO alarms available for purchase at their offices inside Town Hall. Please call 613-283-5869 to confirm if the new alarms have arrived. Funds collected from these sales goes back into educational programming in the region. The new Ontario Fire Code changes and Bill 77 was born when the Hawkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family of Woodstock (mother, father and two sons) were silently killed by CO while they slept in December, 2008. John Gignac was a 34-year firefighter and the uncle to the Laurie Hawkins who died with her husband and children that night. Gignac has since created the HawkinsGignac Foundation for CO Education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fatal effects of carbon monoxide left us with an irreplaceable family loss. Keep your family safe and install a CO alarm so we can Local enforcement combat the silent killer,â&#x20AC;? Gignac said. Beginning April 15, 2015 the Smiths Falls For more information on this new law go to Fire Department will begin to fine residents and www.ofm.gov.on.ca.
Thank You!
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program will be holding a pre-evaluation/orientation meeting on Thursday, Nov. 13 at Rosebridge Manor. The therapy dog program is one that has been run by St. John Ambulance for more than 20 years. The premise of the program is to boost spirits of those who are sick, lonely or just want a comforting visit with a pet. What started as a pilot project in Peterborough in 2002 has grown to close to 3,000 therapy dog teams who reach thousands of people each year. There are a number of services that are included with certifications. Dogs and their owners can visit hospitals, seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residences and longterm care facilities, schools, community centres and libraries. According to the therapy dog website, (www. sja.ca) the therapy dog program allows people to chat with the volunteer and dog; cuddle with the
animal, and receive unconditional love from the dog. The program offers many benefits including greater social engagement with others, a stress relief and distraction from pain, comfort and calming, and improved self-esteem for those residents the dogs and their handlers visit. Located at 131 roses Bridge Rd., Jasper, the orientation event is schedule for 6:30 p.m. Thursday evening and is for handlers only, not canine companions. St John Ambulance Therapy Dog services are free. There is no training, said Brady Poirier, coordinator of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The process on becoming a volunteer team (handler and dog) is fairly straight forward.â&#x20AC;? Potential therapy dog handlers are asked to attend an orientation/information session to begin the application process.
Poirier said St. John Ambulance testing simulates what a team might experience in the real world to ensure that dogs and handlers are suitable for the program. For Ann Curran of Smiths Falls and her poodle, Prince, the rewards of being part of this program are many. Curran is encouraging pet owners to become volunteers in the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program, to visit with residents of Rosebridge Manor. Visits would be approximately one hour and could be weekly or bi-weekly, Curran a local pet groomer, states on her website, (www. smithsfallspetgrooming.com) depending on the volunteerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. A member of the Life Enrichment Staff at Rosebridge Manor would accompany volunteer to introduce them to the dog lovers in the facility. Contact Brad Poirier at sja_tdp@yahoo.ca or call 613-803-8553.

RDHS Grade 8 student hits math test perfection mentor in the subject, contributed to his success. Math teacher Kelly Blair said she is proud of Montgomery, adding the teen has tenacity. Once he starts a problem, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up. If he fails to solve it through one approach, he will try another, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has great intuition for math,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get perfect without some sort of natural ability. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a well-rounded guy who is very humble.â&#x20AC;? Ironically, the math whiz isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in a career in a math-related field like engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be an artist. My mom paints for a living and my dad plays guitar in a series of bands. I would kind of like to draw (for a living).â&#x20AC;?

Submitted by the UCDSB 442392_1106
News - Sully Montgomery reached perfection recently â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an impressive accomplishment for someone not yet in high school. The Grade 8 student at Rideau District High School (RDHS) was one of a select few out of 20,616 competitors to earn a perfect score on the University of Waterloo Grade 7 Gauss mathematics test. The average score on the test, conducted in the spring of 2014, was 103.3 out of 150. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good,â&#x20AC;? Montgomery said in a recent interview about his accomplishment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought maybe I did well, that I had got like one or two wrong, but I was really surprised (at the perfect score).â&#x20AC;? The son of Jeff Montgomery and Heather Haynes of Elgin also had a confession that would make â&#x20AC;&#x153;mathophobesâ&#x20AC;? everywhere green with envy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t study at all,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;?I listened in class.

Bears have hold on second place after three-point weekend Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sports – The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears are on a roll. In the past 10 games, the team has picked up 18 points. They jumped up one more notch in the Robinson Division standings of the CCHL this past week, behind the leagueleading Carleton Place Canadians. The Bears are now in second place with 29 points on 12 wins, seven losses, one overtime loss and four shootout losses. Carleton Place (22-4-0-0) sits at the top with 44 points. Smiths Falls earned three of four points over the weekend, doubling the Pembroke Lumber Kings on Sunday night, 6-3, and losing in a shootout to the Cumberland Grads at home on Halloween night. “Anytime we can get three of four points on a weekend is a good weekend,” said Walt Dubas, assistant coach of the Bears. Losing sniper Kevin Groulx for the weekend gave opportunities to the rest of the team in terms of scoring. Groulx was called up to play with the Ottawa 67’s, who played three games, assisting on one goal in the team’s 4-1 win over the Niagara Ice Dogs on Oct. 30. “We’re a development league and when any of our guys gets called up it’s a great opportunity for them,” Dubas said. Despite not having Groulx, who has been a major contributor to the team’s scoring as of late, others have stepped up to the challenge. Namely, Neil Doef, who is now the team’s leading scorer with 37 points on 19 goals and 18 assists leads the pack now. He is tied with Gloucester’s Ryan Kuffner who has the identical record. Doef had a four-point night in Pembroke, scoring twice and assisting on two others in the team’s 6-3 win. Linemate Cole Busschaert had two goals and an assist. Ryan Duhaime, Josh Leblanc and Noah Gurr also scored for the Bears. Assists were

credited to Duhaime, Michael McKenney, Jared Henry, Noah Gurr, Chris McMillan and Taylor Henry. “It’s nice to see the guys playing higher on the depth chart – with the opportunities they have had to play, we hear them talking about playing Bears’ hockey,” Dubas said, adding that it was nice to hear that. After struggling through the early games of the season, the Bears are starting to click after accumulating eight wins in their last 10 games played, including two shootout losses. Three Bears were named game stars including Doef, Busschaert and goalie Michael Pinios. The intensity of this game was reflected in the number of penalties assessed: almost two hours’ worth. Pembroke was hit with 63 minutes on 18 infractions to Smiths Falls’ 51 minutes on 16 penalties. Cumberland 2 Smiths Falls 1 (SO) The Bears put up a valiant effort Friday night as they hosted the Cumberland Grads. Despite trailing 1-0 to the bitter end, the Bears plowed back with Cole Busschaert scoring in the dying seconds of the game to force overtime, after which, they were still tied. A four-person shootout prevailed with Cumberland scoring the lone goal needed for the win. Cole Skinner was on his head throughout the match, but was tagged with the loss. This game result extends the Bears streak to nine games in which they have gained at least a point. The last time these two teams tangled was Oct. 12 and the Bears earned a 3-0 shutout. Game stars were Douglas Travis (Cumberland), Cole Skinner (Smiths Falls) and Kevin Gollmer (Cumberland). Just 250 fans were in attendance. The Bears have just one game this week and that’s a Friday night tilt against the Ottawa Jr. Sens. Game time at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre is 7:30 p.m.

Four Bears named to Central Canada Cup team; Coach Grady heads pack Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sports – The Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) has unveiled the rosters for the four AllStar Teams that will compete at the 2014 (4th Annual) Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge scheduled to take place in Toronto (Etobicoke), Ontario from Nov. 14-16 at the MasterCard Centre for Excellence. Mark Grady, the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears head coach, will be the CCHL Robinson Division team’s bench boss. Prior to this announcement, Grady knew he had been chosen to coach this team as he had applied and was shortlisted to 16 coaches from eastern Canada. “I was offered the assistant coach job for Team Canada,” he says. “I leave for Central Canada Cup in November.” Neil Doef has made the cut for the team, as have his mates; goalie Cole Skinner, defencemen Jared Henry and Chris McMillan. Walt Dubas, the Bears assistant coach, said he was extremely pleased for the four Bears players along with their head coach. “They are all well-deserving and will represent the Bears quite well,” Dubas said. He was pleased to hear that the two 19-year-old defencemen in Henry and McMillan were given the nod.
“They are two of our best defencemen, if not on the team, but in the league in general,” he said. “And certainly Cole Skinner has had an outstanding season with his – certainly an incredible month of October, and he comes to us from Kanata.” Dubas said the accolades were duly noted. “We will be having to affiliate players to fill the gaps while they’re gone.” The Central Canada Cup weekend was created as a competitive alternative to the annual league All-Star Games and debuted in 2011, hosted by the Bears. The uniquely formatted tournament is played with two 20-minute halves (instead of three periods), focusing on high-paced and intense action. This year’s event will feature nine teams from four leagues with the breakdown as follows: · CCHL 2 teams · NOJHL 1 team · OJHL 4 teams · QJHL 2 teams The teams will be split into three pools and play a round-robin against other teams in their pool. All teams will be re-seeded after the round-robin to determine the quarter-finals schedule with playdowns taking place to the championship game, scheduled for Sunday, November 16 at 6:00pm. For more information on the 2014 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge, please visit the OJHL website at www.ojhl.ca and follow the links.

Show aims to make art accessible to all, support area food banks Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
Community - Original works of art feeds the soul and thanks to the second annual $100 and Under Art Show and Sale at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre, is now available to all through this unique, no admission event Nov. 21 to 23. The show will be held in the upper hall of the arena Friday, Nov. 21 (5 to 9 p.m.), Nov. 22 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Nov. 23 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) This year’s event organizing committee (through the Rideau Lakes Artists Association - RLAA) hopes the venue allows young and new appreciators of art the chance to begin their collections, while adding some colour to their walls. “You’re not going to find it in anybody else’s home,” said Jackie Coldrey, organizing committee member and artist. Peggy Orders, fellow committee member and artist, said she enjoys the show as it is an opportunity to appreciate the work of her peers and receive public feedback on her art, which is particularly important when venturing into a new area of expression. “We inspire each other or challenge
each other,” Orders said. Margaret Martin of the committee agrees with Orders, adding shows such as this provide her with a platform to push her own boundaries in art and discover something new about herself. “It challenges me to do something different than I normally would,” Martin said. More than 50 artists will be selling their work in a variety of mediums from traditional canvas work to jewelry, scarves, prints, cards and wood carvings. Wood carver, Ted Stewart was last year’s most popular artist when many of his carved Canadian geese flew out the door. Build A Mountain of Food This year’s show is repeating many of the successes of last year, including their charity recipient - Build A Mountain of Food. There is no admission to get into the show, but organizers hope people will bring a non-perishable food item or monetary donation. All artist table fees go directly to the cause. “We’d like to do really well for that cause,” Orders added. “We were really pleased about the contributions we could make to Build A Mountain of Food” last year.
Stacey Roy/METROLAND
The committee of (left to right): Jackie Coldrey, Peggy Orders, Kathy Lavander and Margaret Martin welcome the public to their $100 and under art show and sale Nov. 21-23 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. Many original pieces of art will be available in various mediums. In 2013 the show was able to raise were collected for this regional food $1,000 in cash and many boxes of food drive.
The organizing committee hopes to better this total this year by adding another fundraiser - an Italian basket raffle. The winning ticket will take home a basket full of wine, gourmet pasta and sauces, an apron, vegetables and an Italian themed painting. “We hope to sell lots of tickets for Build A Mountain of Food,” Orders said. Tickets are $2 each or three for $5 and can be purchased during the show itself. Refreshments will be available throughout the show as will a handful of participating artists, who will be rotating throughout the weekend to answer questions from customers. This unique show is the brainchild of RLAA member, Nora Brown who thought a show of this type would be a boost to art members and provide a new audience for their work. “She’s a fantastic artist,” Martin added. “It’s really nice to share what you’re making.” The $100 and Under Art Show is a companion event to the successful Art in the Barn show held each year in July at the Lombardy Agricultural Society’s grounds. Be sure to come out Nov. 21 to 23 and bring home some inspiration today.

Amanda Jordan releases country single Staff
Community – A local teenager has released a country music song, Letting It Go Tonight, which is getting some airplay on Ottawa’s Y101.1 radio station. Amanda Jordan, now 18 years of age, from Rideau Ferry, has been singing since the tender age of 18 months. She has been making her way up the musical ladder ever since. This first country single was released in October to country commercial radio stations across Canada. Y101.1 is playing it regularly. Jordan wrote the song and had it recorded in Nashville. It was pitched to Red Vinyl music in Nashville. Jordan says she is working on a second release in the early months of 2015. You can hear the song on her You Tube channel at tjaj100. About Jordan Jordan is a singer, songwriter, vocal instructor, actor, and model from Rideau Ferry. In 2013/14 she was one of Ottawa Idol’s Top Ten Winners and has been referred to as a rural songbird by local media. She attended four years at Canterbury High School in Ottawa and is now enrolled at Carleton University in the vocal program. She also studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music and will be writing her Grade 8 vocal exam soon. On the moving scene, Jordan has been making special appearances. Most recently she was cast as an actor/singer in the movie “Killing Daddy” aka “A Daughter’s Revenge” where she sang and played her guitar for two of her originals songs.
She recently co-hosted and performed in Cogeco’s Talent series called Music Volume which aired in 2014 where she received an invitation to co-host the next six series as well and to perform. Jordan is no stranger to doing for others as she’s performed telethons for CHEO and for a Palliative Care telethon. She has also auditioned and was part of a talent showcase at Centrepointe Theatre. While in Nashville, Jordan has performed at the Wild Wing Cafe in the singer/songwriter workshop produced Susan Gabrielle and performed in the cable TV show called “Spotlight on Nashville” which is produced by Mike Jennings. She performed at the Bluebird Café open mic evening, and made a music video. Jordan’s original music cultivates awareness for various social causes, such as teen mental health, disabilities, and teen relationships. She has written a song for a group of young teen girls who suffer from Scoliosis called, “Got Your Back Always.” Her second last original is about creating awareness and sensitivity towards teens who suffer from depression or other mental illnesses and this song is called “Breathe Easy.” This powerful song portrays the importance of providing support to our friends in need. Jordan has also written an original song about the dangers of unhealthy teen relationships called “Sad List”. Jordan is influenced by musicians like Danielle Bradberry, Hunter Hayes, Rascall Flats, Miranda Lambert, Kira Isabella, Casey Musgrave and Brea Lawrenson.

Students encouraged to shut down their cell phones Community - Students at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) were urged last Wednesday to shut off their cell phones and reconnect face-to-face with friends, family and other important people in their lives. Motivational group, Live Different, brought its high-energy, inspirational multi-media presentation Courage to Connect to the high school. The group gave two presentations to more than 600 students from SFDCI and surrounding elementary schools in the high school cafetorium. Their message was delivered through live rock music, entertaining skits, testimonials from group members, and hilarious videos that engaged students. “The one message that we want kids to walk away with is to really think about what is important in life and to put more time into that,” said Jamie Lobban, road team leader for the group. “We want them to connect with people in a real and meaningful way.” Perhaps the most entertaining aspect of the presentation was the short, funny video clips used by the group to drive home its key messages. In the DisconnectHeadEd series, students see a character with a yellow sponge head who goes through life transfixed by his cell phone while oblivious to the joys around him. In one clip, he is riding on the back of a Jet Ski, unaware of all the fun the driver is having racing across an open stretch of water. In another, he is walking through beautiful wilderness, but fails to appreciate it, eventually falling into a stream he strays into because he is glued to his cell phone. In another video series, a man on the street
interviews people about what is important to them. Those whose responses involve material items such as “my car” or “my cell phone” are doused with water, or squirted with ketchup and mustard before the interviewer says in a stern voice “You fool! Life is about people.” The presentation also featured live testimonials from members of the road team. Team member Chelsea Crawford spoke about personal difficulties she experienced as a child dealing with conflicts at home – parents fighting, her father’s drug use, and having to live with her grandparents after her parents were forced into bankruptcy. “Despite all of this, I always tried to be positive and to see the best in life,” she told her audience. “I didn’t want to let everything happening at home define my life.” Despite her personal problems and financial difficulties that limited what she could do and the clothes she could wear, she “took steps in the right direction” and persevered. She later graduated from high school with scholarships. “Your past and the situations you face do not have to define who you are,” she said. The show resonated with students at the school. Student Meghan Beauregard said she enjoyed the show and the helpful advice it offered about taking a break from the cell phone and reconnecting with others. “It told us to be more open with people,” she said, “and not to be shy about it.” Submitted by the UCDSB.
Jamie Lobban talks to students at SFDCI last week in a motivational presentation encouraging students to turn off their cell phones and connect with those around them – face to face. Stacey Roy/METROLAND R0012465537_1219
