Smith Falls Police budget deferred to next committee meeting Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Tempers flared around the Smiths Falls council horseshoe this week when the topic of the 2016 police service budget was tabled and was only extinguished when the matter was deferred for the next committee of the whole meeting in two weeks time.

The verbal battle involved council’s two Police Service Board (PSB) representatives: Mayor Shawn Pankow

and Coun. Chris Cummings who took opposing views to the process that should be taken in the 2016 police service budget.

Pankow presented the discussion item at this week’s committee meeting hoping to bring a clear idea of what council wants to see in the new police budget with him when he attends the next PSB meeting this Thursday.

“I’d rather have an understanding of what council’s preferences are,” Pankow

said. “The greater opportunity to discuss the budget is before the budget is set.”

Cummings and the majority of his peers supported deferring any comment until after police Chief Bob Dowdall presents his draft report Nov. 12.

Coun. Joe Gallipeau requested that council members be circulated a copy of the draft budget following its presentation at the public meeting Nov. 12.

At the heart of the matter is a June 22, 2015 motion that was approved, which reads, in part: “AND THAT Council of the Corporation of the Town of Smiths Falls supports evaluation of the long term impacts of remaining with the existing policing model and service level delivered by Smiths Falls Police Services through the Long Term Financial Sustainability Study.”

Malcolm Morris, CAO noted the purpose this week is to provide clarity to the PSB on what this statement means to council.

“I’m not sure they do [understand] because I’m not sure this group fully understands what this means,” Morris said to councillors.

What it all means won’t be fully known until the next committee of

The Lanark County OPP with the assistance of the Lanark County Crime Stoppers will be collecting gifts from tree locations on Dec. 10, in time to distribute them to their families.

“It’s the season to give, and what a better gift than to give to someone less fortunate,” Whiting said.

The Angel Tree program started in 1986 with only 50 angels and one small tree. During the early years, municipal offices joined in on the program. Now, there are 13 participating locations across Lanark County that collect hundreds of gifts for children in need.

“The goal of the Angel Tree program is to provide one gift to every child,” Whiting said, explaining that every participating family is associated with the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) in some way.

Residents wishing to participate in the Angel Tree program can pick up an “Angel Card” from a tree in their region. Locations across the county include: the Lanark County OPP detachment, the Drummond/

Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) members vote in favour of re-examining the executive director position and other job roles within the organization at a special member’s meeting Nov. 7 at the Smiths benign, but there needs to be a revision of the bylaws,” Paterson commented. “…These are things you’ll have to take on as a board and as a membership. It’s important to take the time to get involved.”

A new board could breathe new life into the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and end the division that has been plaguing the organization for more than a year.

During a special member’s meeting Nov. 7 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre, a new 15-member board was elected prior to the LAWS’ Annual General Meeting (AGM).

New members include: Kristy Bailey, Ashley Davis, Rachael Desjardine, Louise Forbes, Christina Givens, Cheryl Griffen, Kathy Hoyland, Dave Lindstedt, Laura and Marty Lowson, Scott Marshall, Roz Phelps, Catherine and Liz Taylor, as well as Robert Wilkes. The executive was also chosen following the meeting and Hoyland will serve as president, vice-president is Forbes, Griffen will act as secretary and Lindstedt will be the board’s treasurer.

The special meeting was required as LAWS has been operating without a board since September and lacked the quorum to hold the AGM, explained acting board president Caroline Paterson, who had been handling day-today operations with Hoyland.

“This meeting is basically a twopart meeting today. Due to some technicalities related to members and votes per member in our current bylaws from 1986, there’s a disagreement between the definition of boards,” Paterson stated, noting a special member’s meeting was held back in May to elect a new board, but “an insufficient number of requests were found and that meeting was declared invalid.”

In September, proof of those requests were found and “it was my intention to hand the board over to that main group (of LAWS members) because, in my opinion, they were the legitimate board.” “…But there was a stalemate between the main board and the other board, so legally at this time, there is no board,” Paterson said.

Hoyland indicated the reason the May meeting was declared invalid was due to a dispute over family memberships and whether it constitutes one or two votes.

“Prior to my becoming involved with the LAWS board, it (family membership) was always two votes, but I couldn’t find anything on the website, it had been taken down,” she stated.

“But information on the LAWS Rewards program, on that printout it shows very clearly that family memberships receive two votes at special meetings and AGMs.” “The whole thing about it (May meeting) not being a legal meeting was wrong,” Hoyland added.

At that point, former board member Johanne Marshall challenged Hoyland, stressing the LAWS bylaws only allow family memberships one vote.

“This is the sort of thing that can cause issues going forward. It seems

versus shelter manager positions.

“We currently have a fundraising position where the salary dollars for the fundraising position is almost as much as the executive director,” commented Forbes.

“I’ve asked for statements on that, but I have yet to receive anything…in my mind, we have to review all positions, not just one.”

An administrative review, which Paterson confirmed was embarked upon in August, will complement the motion. “(The review) hasn’t been brought to completion or fruition but there is fundamental work that has started that will be willingly shared with the new board if they so desire,” she said.

The membership questioned if Fleming was currently an employee of LAWS. “Yes, she is,” Hoyland stated.

Another member wondered why Fleming was still a paid employee and had been allowed “free rein” of LAWS. “All I can say to you is that she’s an employee of the board,” added Paterson. “You need a healthy board with people who are willing to make objective and in some cases, tough decisions. I don’t think that has been the case with this board. It’s been impotent, in my opinion.”

End-of-life care planning: We need to have ‘The Talk,’ with mum and dad die they way she would have wanted. “The doctors did not follow her request,� said Carstairs, for her DNR order (Do Not Resuscitate.) “Canadians are not dying well.�

She entered the senate in 1994, and back then, there was no consensus on doctor assisted suicide. The year earlier, the Supreme Court had ruled, in a 5-4 decision, against allowing this practice, and a senate committee investigating the matter in 1994 was also split, 4-3, against recommending such action.

That number stands at an improved 35 per cent now, but she feels that it could be higher – and one of the ways to be your own advocate in the healthcare system, is to get your wishes together now.

As she knows herself, you never know when you will need it.

In December of 2005, her son-in-law Paul came home from teaching school on a Thursday night. He was not feeling well and so went to bed. When he woke up on Friday morning, his wife, Carstairs’ daughter, thought he was delirious. She took her See PLANNING page 11

Justin Trudeau needed a plan.

Not to become prime minister â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but when he sat down with his father, Pierre Trudeau, he needed to work out a plan for carrying out his pereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes for any end-oflife care he wanted to have.

Pierre had had children later in life, so for Justin, the serious, adult discussion, with his father, came sooner than it should have for most children to have with their parents.

But Sharon Carstairs was glad that he had it nonetheless.

And if the Trudeau family had a plan for advanced care planning, she believes that every Canadian family should have such a plan.

The retired Liberal senator from Manitoba was the keynote speaker at a workshop for seniors on navigating the healthcare system, held at the Kinsmen Community Pavilion, at Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls on Nov. 3.

The event was sponsored by the Canadian Association of Retired Personsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (CARP) Lanark County chapter, with the support of Mills Community Support and funding from the Ontario provincial government.

The day before the federal election, Carstairs had been reading the younger Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, Common Ground, when she came upon Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passage on talking to his father about end-of-life care, before his death in the autumn of 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have the prime minister, as of tomorrow, on side,â&#x20AC;? said Carstairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a Liberal, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased with the election on the 19th.â&#x20AC;?

Now, 21 years later, the Supreme Court has ruled unanimously to allow for this practice, but myths, as she sees them, still linger about endof-life care, such as providing medication for unbearable pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have this myth that you will become addicted,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a myth.

Does it matter?â&#x20AC;?

For Carstairs, end-of-life care means â&#x20AC;&#x153;living well until the very endâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about living well.â&#x20AC;?

“You have to be strong,” continued. “Dissenting voices aren’t necessarily a bad thing as long as you’re making healthy, objective and factbased decisions.”

Addressing the issue of the executive director having been given more freedom, Paterson said it was a “board decision that we give the executive director role more autonomy. Sadly, I believe that was an oversight by the board and I don’t know what else I can say except that going forward, the board needs to be strong and united.”

The membership asked for these reviews to be completed within a three-month timeframe.

ping back and taking a role of a more strategic nature.”

“A hands-off approach may not work well,” she stressed.

As an outgoing director on the board, Paterson weighed in with her two cents on how to move forward, including approving revised bylaws, identifying new signing officers at the bank and taking a hard look at the policies, procedures and directives which govern LAWS. “(Policies, procedures and directives) is an area the orga-

nization of LAWS is lacking in some of these things,” she said. “They can be dry, boring and tedious, but I suggest it’s something that needs to be done. Financial management and human resources management is a good place to start.” “…There are tough decisions to be made but I know there are enough passionate supporters of LAWS at all levels to support the animals.

Good luck and congratulations,” Paterson concluded.

Financial crisis During the special member’s meeting, financial statements for the organization as of May 31, 2015 were also presented to the membership, which shows LAWS is operating at a nearly $200,000 deficit. Hoyland confirmed there is no budget for 2015-2016, as she had repeatedly requested income statements for June to September 2015, but had not received them from Fleming.

“In a seven-year comparison, this past year, ending in May 2015, is one of the worst that we’ve had in the seven years we have information on,” Hoyland stated. “…That means the worth of the business or charity has been cut close to in half because of that loss of $200,000.” “…There is no budget for next year. It’s the requirement of the executive director to produce a budget and present it to the board for approval. I don’t believe that has been done, or not that I’m aware of,” she continued, noting that the board will work on drafting a budget.

Hoyland said a nearly $90,000 increase in payroll didn’t help matters either. “The budget approved for the board last year, showed that basically the cost of payroll was supposed to stay under $200,000, however revenues are down close to $100,000 and payroll and expenses are up close to $300,000,” she explained. “There

were lots of cuts to staff but there were hirings as well.”

If the organization continued to operate as it has over the past year, Hoyland said that by the end of May 2016 it could be bankrupt.

With the precarious position of LAWS, Paterson said the new board has many challenges ahead of them, but may need to get involved in the day-to-day operations of the shelter in order to get it “running at a level where the board feels comfortable step-

Embrace spirit of holidays with Christmas in Carleton House Tour Dec. 5 and 6 Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

There’s something magical about the Christmas season, spending time with loved ones and sharing traditions.

Eight local homeowners will open their doors and spread that holiday cheer this Dec. 5 and 6 for the Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour.

This is the fourth year for the tour, which continues to grow in popularity each year, and supports the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation (CPDMH). Spearheaded by self-professed Christmas junkie Jane Tunks (whose home, complete with 27 Christmas trees, is a mainstay on the tour), it serves as an opportunity for her to give back to the community.

“I originally started the house tour for my kids. They both have backgrounds in helping others, so I wanted to honour what they do by giving back,” she said. “...It’s a necessity for me. I must help.” “(At Christmas) the planet we live on looks so much better, people’s spirit and demeanor changes. It’s a wonderful time,” she continued.

Tunks said what sets this house tour apart from others is the addition of an evening portion. The tour kicks off Saturday evening, Dec. 5 from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m., which allows homes to be showcased by holiday lights. It con-

The fourth annual Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour, to benefit the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation, is set for Dec. 5 and 6. Clockwise from top left: 8652 Fallowfield Road in Ashton; 75 Bell Street in Carleton Place; and 139 Hillcrest Drive in Appleton are four homes featured on the tour.

tinues on Sunday, Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each homeowner uses their own traditional decorations to adorn their home, which are enhanced by florals from local businesses.

“This is about them (homeowners) and how they celebrate the holidays,” Tunks explained. “People appreciate that...When people come into homes and the homeowners stage them with their own decorations, people will go up and touch things. They see orna-

ments on trees and it takes them down memory lane.”

“People are coming to get inspired

by Christmas and see some beautiful homes,” added Rosemary Jones, acting manager of fundraising for the CPDMH Foundation.

Each home will also have cookies and hot apple cider and several will also feature live music.

Featured homes

This year’s slate of homes feature a mix of heritage and newer construction. Stop number one is 8652 Fallowfield Road in Ashton, a home with modern flair which was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 2009. Originally, the homeowners didn’t think their cherished Christmas decorations survived the fire, but they were salvaged and are now cherished each holiday season.

The sleek, open concept bungalow includes a walk-out basement on a six-acre property. Petals & Paint will be designing florals to accompany this home.

“This mid-century modern home was a complete rebuild and is beautiful,” Tunks said.

Next up, 139 Hillcrest Drive in Appleton, is a home Tunks had been admiring for a while and is delighted they are included on this year’s tour.

Purchased in 2002, the home was built

by Almonte’s David Barr.

“It’s on the water and has a Nantucket/Martha’s Vineyard feel. You walk in and it’s just gorgeous,” Tunks commented. “They will have a huge tree in their hall and their dining room will be all dressed for Christmas.”

The Floral Boutique will provide florals.

The third stop, also in Appleton, is located at 330 Wilson Street, alongside Saje Wisdom Salon and Spa. Built in 1972, it was completely renovated in 2010 and now features a warm, open

concept layout with large windows.

“The homeowners have been to Bali and Italy, so it (home) is decorated with a lot of copper and crimson tiles,” said Tunks, which creates an eclectic decor.

Homeowners have hosted large dinner parties and even concerts in the space, which will be enhanced by florals from Petals & Paint.

Moving into Carleton Place, the fourth stop is 75 Bell Street, a historic home (estimated to have been built in 1871) in the Gothic revival style known as Elliot house. Gingerbread trim, Lshaped design and steep rooflines are all characteristics of the Gothic revival type of architecture. With lovely high ceilings, the current owners have called the place home for 24 years and are in the middle of a five-year renovation project.

“There is a beautiful focal fireplace and sweeping pine bannister in this home,” Tunks said.

Next up is 42 Emily Street, a heritage home believed to have been built in the 1890s, which was restored in the 1990s. A sunroom and kitchen renovation followed in 2008.

“The owner is an exceptional cabinet and furniture maker and the home is very whimsical and eclectic in taste,” Tunks explained, adding a unique feature of the home is a fossil backsplash in the kitchen.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!

TOUR From page 6

Guests can expect a blending of many holiday traditions in this home, which will be accented by florals from The Blossom Shop.

Tunks’ home, which she shares with husband Steve, 31 Nelson Street West, is the sixth stop for guests to enjoy.

The open concept bungalow isn’t heritage, but doesn’t lack character and charm, with Yuletide cheer spread throughout every corner of the home, including 27 Christmas trees, many themed, such as birds, angels, Mardi Gras and shoes.

“Christmas in our house is about family, friends and togetherness, and its spirit never quite leaves – even when the decorations come down,” Tunks said.

Visitors will head out to Lake Park Road for the two final stops on the tour. The first is 250 Lake Park Road, a new build with a unique design, perched upon a small incline and surrounded by nature. Decorations combine old and new, complete with garlands descending from staircases.

“With three floors, it’s such a beautiful house and the basement has the most gorgeous antiques,” remarked Tunks.

The final home, 566 Lake Park Road, is a log cabin oozing charm and character which Tunks said “gave me goosebumps” when she toured it.

“With the wood stove on and pops of red everywhere, you stand in the entryway and are enveloped. This

Guests can tour each of the homes at their leisure and design their own route. They are also encouraged to break them up over the two days.

But there’s more to see than just the homes themselves. This year the tour has teamed up with the Ginger Café and Carleton Place & Beckwith Heri-

tage Museum. Guests can use their ticket at the Ginger Café to sample a free latté and for an extra fee, enjoy a buffet and tasting plates.

The museum will be open to visitors requiring restroom facilities. While there, take in the sweet sounds of The Town Singers and enjoy cookies and hot apple cider.

Vital funds raised Over the last three years, thousands of dollars has been raised through the tour for patient care equipment needs at the hospital ($10,000 alone last year) and Jones praised Tunks, giving her all the credit for the success of the initiative.

“From the hospital’s perspective, and I can only speak from my own experiences, this woman has come into people’s lives for a reason...she does this completely from her heart with all the proceeds going to the hospital,” she explained. “That’s the story. Jane does it because she loves Christmas and because she loves her community.”

“We work together on this, but the

reality is, this woman puts in countless hours to make this (house tour) a success,” Jones added.

An increase in sponsors has also enabled more funds to go directly to the foundation. “As the house tour grows, sponsors are coming on board and what that means to us is that more dollars come to the hospital. They can underwrite our expenses,” Jones stated.

Volunteers are always needed to help out on tour days. Those interested in donating a few hours can contact Rosemary Jones at 613-257-2200 ext. 856 or rjones@carletonplacehosp. com.

Tickets for the Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour are $25 per person and are available in Carleton Place at: Carleton Place Nursery; The Blossom Shop; CPDMH Gift Shoppe; and Petals & Paint. They can also be purchased from Crush Marketplace in Almonte; Gemmell’s Flowers in Smiths Falls; In Bloom in Kanata; Yarn Forward – Kanata; Spectrum Kitchens in Kanata; Pretty Pots Flower Shop in Stittsville; Ottawa’s Flower Talk Tivoli; and Tinseltown Emporium.

“The tour is a great deal. People get a lot of bang for their buck,” Tunks said. “Just the feel-good aspect of the tour is what I would pay for.”

Little black book

T

here’s some interesting reading in a Competition Bureau Canada publication that some law-enforcement agencies were handing out as part of Crime Prevention Week. It’s The Little Black Book of Scams: Your Guide to Protection Against Fraud (The Canadian Edition). Grenville County and Lanark County OPP detachments are always warning residents of the latest scams popping up across the region.

One of the first items in the publication covers lotteries, sweepstakes and contests. “Many Canadians are lured by the excitement of a surprise win and find themselves sending huge amounts of money to claim fake prizes,” the book states.

Readers are reminded that legitimate lotteries do not require fees or taxes in advance before the alleged winner can collect his or her winnings.

“Don’t be fooled by claims that the offer is legal or has government approval – many scammers will tell you this. Instead of receiving a grand prize or fortune, you will lose every cent that you send to a scammer.”

But the risk can be even greater, the book notes. “And if you have provided other personal details, your identity could be misused too.” The bottom line is do not provide personal banking details to someone who is unknown or in whom trust might be an issue.

And if news of the win comes as a surprise because the alleged winner does not recall entering a contest, that should serve as a red flag. “You cannot win money or a prize in a lottery unless you have entered it yourself, or someone else has entered it on your behalf. You cannot be chosen as a random winner if you don’t have an entry.”

Scammers can also make money by getting alleged winners to call premium-rate phone lines or send premium-rate text messages. As enticing as it might seem, the public is reminded to resist the urge to respond to something that sounds too good to be true.

The scam book can be found at www.competitionbureau.gc.ca. Click on the Publications heading near the top of the page and then go to Tools for Consumers and Businesses.

No scrap was left without a use during the Depression years The bag hung on the back of the kitchen door. Mother didn’t like it there...where everyone could see it as soon as they walked in the house, but there wasn’t really any other place for it. She reasoned, since everyone she knew on the Northcote Side Road had a bag in the same spot, that was obviously the best place for it.

There was nothing unusual about the bag. Unless it was the red and blue printing on both its sides. It read: Five Roses Flour. Used for any other purpose, Mother would have tried, usually with little success, to bleach out the printing when the bags were used for bloomers, aprons, fancy tea towels, pillow slips, and yes, even sheets for the beds. But this bag would not be used for anything so fancy.

It was simply called the

rag bag. And that was its sole purpose. It held anything that at one time was worn on our backs, and which had developed enough holes, had faded beyond use, worn thin and beyond repair, and generally was no longer considered wearable. It always amazed me why Mother, once something was doomed for the rag bag, had to first make sure it was washed.

Then it was folded neatly, and crammed into the rag bag.

And then every last scrap put into the bag, would eventually have another purpose before finally being chucked into the

cook stove.

Tea towels, once flour bags themselves, but worn so thin, they were useless, became dusters. They would be cut into smaller pieces, and once they were used several times, would once again be washed, and then chucked back into the rag bag.

Father’s and the three brothers’ long-johns were choice pieces in the rag bag. They became scrub cloths. Of course, they were cut into workable pieces first. There were two types of material in the long johns... cotton and wool. And only the cottons were used as scrub cloths. They absorbed the hot water and soap perfectly, could be rinsed out, could be used to mop up spills, and generally used over and over again.

The underwear made of fine wool, had a special purpose.

Reader: No campaign of hate, it was disgust DEAR EDITOR:

When I read the letter from BA Campbell in the Oct. 29 paper, I nearly choked on the assertion that a “hate that some people had for Stephen Harper” could be equated with the persistent nastiness and attempts to drive wedges among groups by the Tories.

The writer didn’t properly read the mood of vast portions of the electorate. It was not hate but rather it was disappointment and disgust at the “shrieking, ceaseless partisanship of the Harper government” [Jeffrey Simpson, writing

Smiths Falls reader optimistic about chances for achieving reform DEAR EDITOR:

In the recent federal election in the riding of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston, slightly more than 26,000 folks voted for Scott Reid while just over 28,000 voters felt that candidates other than Scott were a better choice, or at least a necessary choice. In our current electoral system a simple majority of votes allows Mr. Reid to capture the seat but more people are disappointed with the outcome than are jubilant.

In addition, that majority

bag would be laid out on the kitchen table, and Mother and Audrey, using Mother’s best sewing scissors, cut everything into long thin strips.

These were hand-sewn together until they were one long, rope-like piece, and it was my job to wrap it around the back of a chair to make a big coil.

And then, on the cold winter nights, where the kitchen was the warmest room in the house, those long coils from the rag bag, would end up in their final resting place. With a largeeyed needle, and the heaviest thread Mother could buy at Walker’s Store in Renfrew, she would turn those strips into yet another braided rug for the floor.

She would divide the evening into sewing together the long strips, and spending time on her beloved diaries. Heaven forbid that her diaries should be neglected!

And I would watch those strips, three at a time, turn into braids, hand-sewn, and see the effort getting bigger and bigger until the braided rug was the size Mother wanted. There were braided rungs everywhere. The

the scripting of all Tory MPs. All this was supposed to be glossed over or ignored by intelligent journalists.

That’s like calling the teacher stupid because your child failed after not doing his/her school work.

I’ll accept that many of my neighbours supported Mr. Reid or Mr. Brown be-

of voters, having exercised their right to vote, find their votes are now nothing more than statistics in that they have no impact whatsoever on the composition of government.

This is nothing new as our ‘first-past-the-post’ system by its very design ignores those votes that are not cast in favour of the ‘winning’ candidate. The failure of our current process to value everyone’s vote is highlighted by the result in New Brunswick where 48 per cent of the electorate voted for

one at the back door, which got constant use from wet gum rubbers, snow covered footwear, and yes, even the odd piece of manure stuck onto Father’s boots, before the winter was half over, would have to be discarded and a new one put down.

I would often play a game over the braided rugs.

I would get down on my hands and knees and try to remember what part of a braid had served its original purpose. There would be the remnants of my faded and worn navy blue fleece lined bloomers, and Father’s old red plaid shirt, and of course, the long underwear.

Stuffing the rag bag was an ongoing process. Like morsels of left over meals, string from Briscoe’s General Store, tin cans, newspapers, and yes, even goose grease had a purpose back in the thirties. Nothing was wasted. It was the only way to survive the Depression years, which had closed tightly around us.

Steve Kirby Elgin

something other than the Liberal Party yet every single seat in New Brunswick is now occupied by a Liberal MP. In essence, hundreds of thousands of New Brunswick votes have been ignored.

It was interesting to hear Scott’s comments on electoral reform shortly after the election as reported in this newspaper Oct. 22. For those who might be interested, you should take a look at Scott Reid’s thoughtful article in the Autumn 2005 issue of the Canadian Parliamentary Review titled ‘The Road to Electoral Reform’. Scott speaks knowledgeably about the reasons for, and the benefits of, changes to

NEW

the electoral process but he also outlines in his article why a governing Party typically dismisses electoral reform. It was no surprise that Scott then met his own expectations after the Conservatives came to power by speaking against electoral reform as reported by the Idealistic Pragmatist in their article on the electoral reform debate published on Feb. 20, 2007.

Scott points out in his 2005 article that MPs are guided by “naked self-interest” in the electoral reform debate because they fear the possibility that such reform will prevent their re-election, and so they end up supporting the

status quo.

I think anyone who ponders the question of electoral reform would say that it is better for the electorate, better for the country and better for democracy to implement a system whereby every vote counts rather than our current first-past-the-post process where votes for anyone who did not win a seat are ignored.

As a citizen of Canada, I fully support electoral reform and I would think anyone interested in a more vibrant, inclusive, participatory democracy would likewise find value in a renewed electoral model.

I’m sure many would argue

the nuances of the various electoral models (Scott speaks about three alternative systems in his article) but from my perspective any model that assigns value to every vote cast in an election is the main goal and all of the models that Scott refers to accomplish that in some way. I would hope that our politicians – of whatever stripe – can get beyond their naked self-interest to work cooperatively for the good of the country and its citizens by agreeing to a process that will accomplish electoral reform.

husband to a walk-in clinic. The doctors there dispatched him to a hospital, where he waited in the emergency room for three hours, before being sent to intensive care.

He was diagnosed with autoimmune amnesia, which is, essentially where â&#x20AC;&#x153;his red blood cells are eating each other.â&#x20AC;?

He was pumped with drugs, had his spleen removed, and was given eight blood transfusions. But almost just as chilling for Carstairs was that his son-in-law did not have a will. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like most young people, they were going to live forever,â&#x20AC;? said Carstairs. The revelation left her feeling frustrated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she had slipped will kits, on CDs, into her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas stockings the year before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought my family would have gotten the message.â&#x20AC;?

In November of 2006, her family again had a health scare. Carstairs was in Halifax, when her daughter Jennifer phoned to say that Carstairsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other daughter, Catherine, was in hospital in Kitchener, Ont. Carstairs wasted no time flying to Toronto, and hustling onwards to southwestern Ontario, to discover that Catherine had non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

When Catherine saw her mother in the hospital, her first words to her mother were: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be pleased with me, mum. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a will,â&#x20AC;? even after what her brother-inlaw had been through.

Thankfully, â&#x20AC;&#x153;she too managed to be a cancer survivor,â&#x20AC;? like her father, but, it underscored â&#x20AC;&#x153;the need to get all of our affairs together.â&#x20AC;?

The federal government has until early next year to change its current euthanasia laws, but, considering the change in government, the Trudeau Liberals may ask for an extension, as public hearings on the issue were cut short because of the federal election last month.

While other areas like The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Belgium, and American states like Oregon and Washington, have some form of doctor-assisted suicide laws on the books â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with Quebec soon to join those ranks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she pointed out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;less than six per cent of the population will choose to die that way. I

want to support he 94 per cent,â&#x20AC;? who may choose to have a DNR, for example, or to live out their final days in a hospice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I am not competent, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be hooked up to a bunch of machines,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to change any laws to make that decision.â&#x20AC;?

But she stressed that families need to be on the same page. One person she spoke to assumed that one of her sons, a doctor, would acquiesce to her request for a DNR order.

She was glad when she spoke to her son beforehand, finding out that he would not honour her request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will do whatever I can to keep you alive,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what I want,â&#x20AC;? the woman answered.

Her other son was chosen to handle her end-of-life care instead. The advanced care directives will not only give the family peace of mind,

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 11 - Thursday, November 12, 2015

College football in Syracuse is well worth the trip I have been fortunate enough to attend literally hundreds of professional sports games in my lifetime. I have countless stories to tell about wellknown players I have seen and the interesting experiences I’ve enjoyed relative to team sports.

Professional sports such as Major League Baseball, the National Football League, National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League are viewed by most fans on this continent as the pinnacle of sports. It is true that’s where the biggest stars play and where the most money is generated.

On the other hand I have seen some truly terrible pro games over the years and had some experiences I would rather not repeat. It goes with the territory!

I have to say that some of my best sports memories relate to amateur athletics including junior hockey, high school football and basketball, flatwater canoe and kayak events and a host of others activities. I’m an avid fan of the Central Canada Hockey League and our hometown Carleton Place Canadians in particular. Canadians are enjoying another outstanding season to date and I intend to attend as many games as I can as the long Junior A campaign unfolds.

Another amateur sport that has long captured my attention is American college football. I know that some people will argue that given all of the money involved in university and college sports south of the border the word “amateur” is inappropriate.

However the reality is that while players in many US college sports are compensated in various ways, including the awarding of full scholarships, they are not being paid the cold, hard, plentiful cash which is available to professional athletes today.

Therefore the objective of college competitors in the US is to excel in their chosen sport, enter the draft and move into professional ranks. The money and opportunities that are available to those who reach the pinnacle in sports such as the MLB, NFL, NBA

and NHL are virtually unlimited. So, not surprisingly, the level of competition for the relatively few positions is extre mely high.

When it comes to American college football the depth and complexity of the system is truly immense. The top teams, in the most competitive divisions, employ more than a dozen coaches full-time. They often dress more than 100 players. Considering that just 22 athletes can compete at any one time (11 on offence and 11 on defence) it is mind boggling to see so many players involved in a single game. Obviously the majority never see the field but have hopes of cracking the starting line-up and impressing the pro scouts.

College football is prestigious and many schools invest heavily in their programs, aided by massive fan interest in the sport. There is also a huge amount of money to be made from television, advertising and marketing agreements along with the sale of souvenirs, etc.

Big pay days Teams who achieve on-field success and eventually weave their way into the most important season-ending bowl games, especially those who quality for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) the national playoffs, earn vast amounts of cash for their conferences and their individual programs.

Reaching the pros is what drives players and most coaches in college football. But fan attendance is what gives the sport such a high profile. The biggest teams play in stadiums that can accommodate as many as 100,000 fans. The so-called “Big House”, the football facility at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, west of Detroit, seats more than 107,000 people.

The record attendance (including those who stood to watch the game) was on Sept. 7, 2013 when 115,109 witnessed the game between Michigan Wolverines and their arch rival the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Michigan Stadium, its actual name, is the largest stadium in the US and the

Reflections

second largest in the world. On the list of biggest sporting venues, it ranks a solid 34th in the world.

To further emphasize how popular the Wolverines are, every one of their home games since Nov. 8, 1975 has attracted more than 100,000 spectators.

That is an active streak of more than 200 contests.

Because we have family in Michigan we are also fans of the sports teams in the state, including the Wolverines.

However, the distance involved and the popularity of the sport there makes it difficult to attend a game. A game at the Big House is on my life’s list though!

For many years my son and I, along with my late father and friends of ours, have attended college football games at Syracuse University in central New York State. Syracuse is an easy three hour drive from our home.

This Saturday, along with my friend Blair White and his son Ben, I will be in attendance when the hometown Syracuse Orange faces the highly ranked Clemson University Tigers from Clemson, South Carolina at the Carrier Dome on the Syracuse University campus.

To be honest the game may not be the most competitive we have witnessed there. Orange are unranked and in rebuilding mode and they have also been crippled badly by injuries at the key quarterback position. After winning their first three games of the campaign, Syracuse had dropped five in a row as of this writing.

Clemson University, on the other hand, is an impressive 8-0 in the highly competitive Atlantic Coast Conference and they’re ranked No. 3 in the nation.

Hunger in Leeds, Grenville & Lanark, 2015 R0013542970_1112

What does it mean to be food insecure?

Tigers appear bound for a berth in the prestigious BCS early in the New Year.

Still, attending a game in Syracuse is a very enjoyable experience. For one thing you never have to worry about the weather. Since 1980 the Orange has played in the Carrier Dome, the largest domed stadium on any major college campus in the U.S. The air-inflated dome means fans are always comfortable inside the nearly 50,000 seat facility. An interesting note is that the Carrier Dome is also the largest on-campus basketball arena in the nation, seating more than 35,000 for that sport.

Getting to the dome is interesting!

There is no fan parking at the stadium.

Instead most fans use local bus transportation. We park at one of three major off-site parking lots and then take the bus (which is included in the parking fee) to and from the dome.

Major schools Over the years I have seen some big teams play in Syracuse and enjoyed some very competitive games since I first began going there in the mid-1990s.

Among the schools we have seen tackle the Orange are Boston College, the University of Louisville, the University of Pittsburgh (better known as “Pitt”), Temple University from Philadelphia, the University of Connecticut and Rutgers University from New Jersey.

Among the future NFL stars I have seen play for Syracuse are quarterback Donovan McNabb (now retired after 13 NFL campaigns), defensive end Chandler Jones, now of the New England Patriots and current New York Giants’ back-up QB Ryan Nassib.

I also enjoyed watching Arizona Cardinals’ star wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, now in his 12th NFL campaign, play for Pitt against Syracuse.

Fitzgerald was an All-American at his position during his excellent college career.

The fan experience inside the dome is second to none. When the place is full the noise level is incredible. American universities also have huge bands.

Their music, following big plays or at half-time, adds to the atmosphere.

You don’t have to know anything about Syracuse University to enjoy the “Alma Mater”, the university song which is sung by the Orange players and fans at the conclusion of every game, win or lose. It sends a shiver up and down my spine every time I hear it!

Syracuse University also has a “fight song” entitled ‘Down the Field’ which is commonly played when the team scores a touchdown.

Over the years we have learned that sitting at the front of the upper deck (third level) of the stadium is the best place to watch a game. The angle is high but the view of the field is spectacular. Besides, if you sit in the main grandstands at the lower level you have to stand for much of the game. American college football fans rarely sit down meaning you have to join them in order to observe the on-field action.

If you are a team sports fan, a visit to the Carrier Dome is a very interesting experience. If you’re a football fan – especially a US college football follower – it’s a must!

While you’re in Syracuse you can also take advantage of the many shopping opportunities which, despite the gap caused by the falling loonie is still viable. Leading the way is what is now called ‘Destiny USA’ (formerly Carousel Centre) which with more than 300 stores and services and 2.4 million square feet of retail space is the sixth largest shopping centre in the nation and the biggest in New York State.

Accommodations are easy to find with every major hotel brand in North America represented in and around Syracuse, the fourth largest city in the state.

For me though it is all about the football and the fun that goes with attending a game at a major American university. I’m really looking forward to our weekend visit to Syracuse!

Theatre Night in Merrickville is in full rehearsal for their upcoming Pantomime, Sleeping Beauty which opens on Nov. 26. Shown here during an early rehearsal, from left: the King played by Peter Biore hands Dame Marigold, played by Timothy Molloy, a mixing bowl so that ‘she’ and her son Andin, played by Peter Yerden, can make the strawberry tarts the Queen of Hearts has ordered. complete with evil fairy, good fairies, handsome prince, and beautiful princess and a bit of snoozing, the writers have taken a few liberties and added

some unexpected characters.

There’s Baskerville the unruly, loveable hound who travels with the Prince, there is the Prince’s valet, Maurice

the Frenchman whose “leeps are never limp,” and there’s the inevitable cross-dressing dame, Marigold Glove, who is in active search of a husband

and her utterly irreverent son Andin. There are evil sprites and crows and a chorus of singing, dancing villagers; there are chases, food fights, swordfights and good frights as the wicked fairy Poison Ivy weaves her evil designs.

While the 24 actors are rehearsing like crazy to perfect their singing, dancing and acting, a pantomime can’t really come together without the audience.

“It’s a real group effort, between performers and audience, that’s what makes it magical,” said MacLaughlan.

All the performances will take place at the Merrickville Community Centre at

Are you ready for a bellyful of laughter and general mayhem? We hope you are because Theatre Night in Merrickville (TNIM) is delighted to present its second traditional, British style pantomime. Sleeping Beauty, the pantomime will open on Nov. 26 with all the hilarity and audience participation of a traditional English panto.

“It’s totally irreverent, it’s a chance to cut loose and have a lot of fun for both audience and actors,” said award-winning actor Ann MacLaughlan, who plays the Queen in this production.

While the story of Sleeping Beauty fits the bill for traditional pantomimes, which are usually based on a fairy tale, it’s not one that’s often performed.

“I chose Sleeping Beauty, because I wanted a pantomime that was not that well known, but was based on a well-known fairy tale,” said Maureen Overy, director. “It was really the good fairies that drew me to this one, and I never thought I would find three men willing to play the parts, but I did,” she chuckles.

With 24 actors needed to fill all the roles, TNIM had to cast the net wide to find enough people.

“I play Blossom, one of the fairy godmothers. I’m the bearded one. It’s a blast, I’m thoroughly enjoying the chance to be dopey and goofy all at once,” said Hugh Gardiner, a Brockville resident whose day job is in instrumental engineering at Invista in Maitland.

Already five weeks into rehearsal and the hilarity is mounting. All the elements of music, dance, slapstick and rim shots, cross-dressing and villainy are being perfected right now.

“It’s extremely funny and there’s so much latitude with a panto, so it’s really about having fun, doing a fun thing,” commented Laurie Widzinski, chorus member and Delta resident.

While this production follows the broad strokes of the fairly tale,

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

Mudds bring murder, mystery, music to stage with upcoming production This December, the Mississippi Mudds will be bringing murder, mystery, music, and laughter to the Carleton Place Town Hall with its winter production, The People Vs. Mona, directed by Brian McManus, produced by Tony Scott, with musical direction by Laurel Tye, and supported by the musical stylings of pianist Peter Brown.

A combination of romantic comedy and murder mystery set to music, the story is centered around Mona Mae Katt, the owner of the Frog Pad, a honky-tonk bar that serves as the cultural centre of the small southern hamlet of Tippo, Georgia.

Mona Mae has been accused of killing her record-producer husband C.C. Katt by bashing him with a guitar ten hours after they were married.

Mona’s likeable but clueless defense counsel Jim is pitted against the ambitious prosecutor and mayoral candidate, Mavis, who also happens to be Jim’s fiancée. Her musical trial is held in the Frog Pad, attended by all

the local characters, musicians, and assorted hangers on, singing their way through all the evidence.

One of the witnesses is Blind Willy, a street musician who is, as he admits, “legally blind in his good eye”. However, Willy has developed is sense of smell so well that he can identify anyone by their smell alone. Blind Willy, played by longtime Mudds member Mark Piper, gives his evidence in a musical form that is part Ray Charles riffs, part homage to Blind Willie McTell, and all comedy.

“I can smell out a gardenia at 20 feet,” Willy sings.

Piper says of the part, “Well, of course, given that I’m neither blind nor a black street singer, I didn’t want to be seen as appropriating early twentieth-century blues performances in an insensitive manner, so I kind of had to take it in a different direction.

So I just went with being a sort of local character – an aging hippie, if you like, that plays for tips in order to afford his beer at the Frog Pad. He’s a

It opens Friday, Dec. 4 at the Carleton Place Town Hall.

free spirit – not really a blues singer, just that’s how he sounds from hanging around Georgia for so long.”

Costumer Judith Scott says of Blind Willy, “No, he’s not homeless or dirty or anything like that. But he’s developed this style that shows

he doesn’t care what other people think of him. He is what he is. So we dressed him up in worn jeans and long grey hair and a toque and Converse All Stars – like Mark says, an aging hippie.”

And like all the other characters

that gather around the Frog Pad – the gospel minister, the shady hotel owner, the cop who wants to play Curly in Oklahoma, and all the rest – he sets the stage for this light musical comedy murder mystery that will be fun for all.

The Mississippi Mudds’ The People Vs. Mona runs at the Carleton Place Town Hall Friday and Saturday, Dec. 4 and 5 at 8 p.m., with a matinee at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 24 - Thursday, November 12, 2015

Prominent restorative justice speaker coming to Perth Nov. 19 Lanark County Community Justice is excited to announce a special event scheduled for Nov. 19, in conjunction with their Annual General Meeting (AGM).

They will be hosting a buffet dinner at the Perth Lions Hall with Jake MacIsaac as the guest speaker.

MacIsaac is the founder and director of The Centre, a youth drop-in program operating at one of Atlantic Canada’s premier shopping destinations in Halifax. For more than a decade, he has been the lead consultant on youth issues for Halifax Shopping Centre.

In addition to his work with the shopping centre, MacIsaac spent over five years as the Lead Caseworker at Nova Scotia’s largest restorative justice agency, overseeing a team of ten casework staff and managing the annual 700+ youth justice referrals from police, the prosecution service and the courts.

In March 2011, MacIsaac joined the management team of Dalhou-

sie University’s Security Services, as the community safety officer, to, among other things; help re-design the university’s student discipline policies with a focus on promoting restorative approaches. This effort was most publicly recognized in May 2015 when the “Report from the Restorative Justice Process at the Dalhousie University Faculty of Dentistry” was published. MacIsaac was one of the restorative facilitators in that matter and a coauthor of the final report.

The use of restorative justice practices is growing throughout Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls through the hard work and determination of the Lanark County Community Justice program.

Working out of a small office in Perth, their two part-time staff and over forty trained volunteer facilitators successfully delivered fiftythree community justice forums in the last year, providing services to over three hundred people.

In addition to community justice forums, the organization has started providing training to other not-for-profit agencies in the use of restorative practices to help them to resolve a variety of conflicts and restore relationships.

The doors open for this dinner/ speaker/AGM event at 5 p.m. with a social networking time and an opportunity to view some displays of partner agencies serving Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls.

Dinner starts promptly at 6 p.m., followed by the presentation by MacIsaac.

“The presentation by Jake MacIsaac will show us just how powerful restorative practices can be in a community,” says chair Christine Peringer.

“This is a fabulous way for us to celebrate Restorative Justice Week in Canada and highlight the work of our volunteers.”

The cost for this event is $20 or

Jake MacIsaac will speak at the Lanark County Community Justice dinner and Annual General Meeting Nov. 19 in Perth.

“Our caseload is largely made up of youth from the ages of 12 to 25 years of age,” says executive director Beth Peterkin, “although we have worked with all ages right up to the senior years.”

United Way shares story of how CPHC helps a community through Community Support Services in Trenton.

Within two days of contacting CPHC, a co-ordinator was in her home to complete an assessment, provide reassurance and real life, practical support.

Mary says “I have been in love with them ever since and will never divorce them!”

Through CPHC, Mary receives the services of Meals on Wheels, Diner’s Club, and Seniors Exercise and Falls Prevention Classes. A volunteer driver helps with getting out for groceries, and twice a week, a Telephone Reassurance volunteer calls her to chat. For Mary, this service is “priceless.” She has recently rekindled her love of swimming and CPHC is able to provide a PSW to take her to swimming classes.

Mary is also happy to give back by volunteering herself.

She makes calls to recruit new members and to remind regular members of the Diner’s Club meetings, and helps to spread the good word and possibilities of the programs that have assisted her.

Mary’s story is a perfect example of the unpredictability of life and the help that is provided through organizations like Community and Primary Health Care making a difference in your community, with the ongoing support of the United Way of Lanark County.

Community & Primary Health Care is always looking for more volunteers. Like Mary, volunteering can be as simple as picking up the phone and connecting with clients. If you have ever thought about becoming a volunteer, contact Lesley Renwick, volunteer manager at

Cancer society rounds up Pigs of Hope for Nov. 14 launch The Canadian Cancer Society will launch their second annual Pigs of Hope campaign on Saturday, Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the RBC Royal Bank in Perth and Almonte, Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer in Almonte, and Walmart in Brockville.

“In 2014 more than 75 piggy banks were adopted for the first campaign, and we are looking to surpass that amount this year,” says Anita Carley, community fundraising specialist. “It’s a fun campaign and the community really got creative naming and dressing up their Pigs of Hope, while helping to raise money for Wheels of Hope. We can’t wait to see the creativity this year.”

The adoption is easy as 1, 2, 3. Select a ride you wish to sponsor (ex: Family to CHEO, Perth to Kingston, Brockville

to Ottawa), feed your Pig of Hope with change, and once you’ve reached the fundraising goal weight, drop off your piggy bank at our designated piggy round up location at RBC Royal Bank in Perth, Almonte and 1000 Islands Mall branch in Brockville.

The fundraising campaign will run until January in support of the society’s Wheels of Hope transportation service.

Secondary adoption blitz days are on Nov. 20 at Superstore in Brockville from 2 to 6 p.m. and Nov. 21 at Brownlee’s Metro in Perth from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Additional days may be added throughout November so watch for the Pigs of Hope pig pens popping up around town.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, Wheels of Hope is a critical transporta-

tion service for people who have no other way of getting to lifesaving cancer treatment.

The service is especially vital in communities such as ours since many clients travel outside of our area for treatment. This means that clients are traveling a much further distance. In Lanark, Leeds & Grenville it costs an average of $60 per trip due to the long distances traveled in eastern Ontario. It is not an understatement to say that some people would literally not be able to make it to treatment without this vital service.

For more information about Pigs of Hope, Wheels of Hope or to arrange a pig adoption please contact your local Canadian Cancer Society community office at 613-267-1058 / 1-800367-2913 or lanarklg@ontario. cancer.ca.

Ten financial planning tips for common-law couples Common-law relationships are becoming more common. In fact, the number of Canadian common-law couples rose 13.9% between 2006 and 2011 — that’s about 4 ½ times the rate of growth for married couples (3.1%)*. There are specific financial issues relating to common-law relationships that you should be aware of. Here are 10 to consider: 1. The federal Income Tax Act (Canada) considers a couple to be in a common-law relationship if they have lived together in a conjugal relationship for the past twelve months consecutively or have lived together for a shorter period but are raising a child together. For income tax purposes, they are treated the same as a married couple.

2. If you are considered a common-law couple under the Income Tax Act (Canada), be sure to file your income tax returns as a couple. Filing as an individual could result in penalties related to filing a false return and a potential loss of various federal benefits, including the CPP survivor benefit.

3. The law in some provinces does not give common-law couples the same rights as married couples. Be sure to check your provincial regulations and seek advice from your tax or legal advisor.

4. Discuss with your common-law partner, what your individual financial objectives, resources and obligations are should your relationship come to an end.

5. Discuss how much you expect to spend, save and invest and who will manage your shared finances.

6. In some provinces, a common-law partner is not recognized as a legal heir in case of death.

Manage Your Money 7.

10.

Make sure that you provide for your partner by preparing a valid will and speaking with your legal advisor.

Review and revise the beneficiaries of your life insurance policies and registered investment plans as necessary and after any significant life events.

Designate a power of attorney to act for you should you become mentally incapable of doing so yourself.

If you have children from a previous relationship, be sure that they are included in your estate plan. Leaving everything to your new spouse through direct beneficiary designations could inadvertently disinherit your children.

Because tax legislation recognizes commonlaw spouses, you may wish to take advantage of income-splitting opportunities by contributing to your partner’s RRSP — but be aware that, depending on your province of residence, the contributor may not be able to get these funds back in the event of a separation.

There are a lot of financial and legal complexities that come along with a common-law relationship — but don’t make the common mistake of trying to solve them on your own. Consult with your professional financial and legal advisors to effectively achieve all your life goals.

Life is unpredictable. No one knows this more than Mary Taylor.

Mary was an active and dedicated Personal Support Worker (PSW) in a long-term care setting, who, in the course of a day, lost her eyesight, her driver’s license, and her job.

Her blindness, caused by a combination of complications from diabetes and macular degeneration left her suddenly in need of the kinds of services and care that she had so capably provided for others.

When the initial shock dissipated, and with the support of her sister, Mary got in touch with Community and Primary Health Care (CPHC), a United Way Lanark County Partner, for Community Support Services in Lanark. Their 91-yearold mother was receiving Meals on Wheels and friendly visiting

From page 26

Holmes, starring Ian McKellen, already touted for an award for his performance as the famous detective.

Based on a novel by Mitch Cullin entitled, A Slight Trick of the Mind, this film – directed by Bill Condon and subtitled The Man Behind the Myth – presents a very different kind of Sherlock Holmes story. It’s full of humor and sadness as an aged, retired Holmes deals with early dementia while trying to remember his final case and a woman, the memory of whom still haunts him. He has retired to his cottage by the sea and taken up his well known hobby of beekeeping. With him are his housekeeper, Mrs. Munro

Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which your pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or your body does not properly use the insulin it makes. As a result, glucose (sugar) builds up in your blood instead of being used for energy.

Your body gets glucose from foods like bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, milk and fruit. To use this glucose, your body needs insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body to control the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood.

The good news

You can live a long and healthy life by keeping your blood glucose (sugar) levels in the target range set by you and your health-care provider. You can do this by: • Eating healthy meals and snacks • Enjoying regular physical activity • Monitoring your blood glucose (sugar) using a home blood glucose meter* • Aiming for a healthy body weight • Taking diabetes medications including insulin and other medications, if prescribed by your doctor • Managing stress effectively * Discuss with your health-care provider how often you should measure your blood glucose (sugar) level.

Who can help you?

A positive and realistic attitude towards your diabetes can help you manage it. Talk to others who have diabetes. Ask your local Canadian Diabetes Association branch about joining a peer-support group or taking part in an information session.

PARTICIPATE IN A LOCAL CLINICAL TRIAL

• A new way for you and those you care about to see health care providers and specialists without having to travel away from your own community.

• Using video cameras and monitors, you can see, hear and talk to your provider just like you were in the same room.

• Private, secure and confidential, the same as a face to face appointment.

• Free with a valid Health Card for OHIP insured services.

Citizenship Act causes health care woes for a second local resident Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

John Kenny is a familiar face around Smiths Falls.

He has lived in town for over 40 years and worked as a locomotive engineer with CP Rail for two decades while raising his family. In every respect he is an average Smiths Falls resident except for one thing: he doesn’t have a health card because the Canadian government doesn’t see him as a Canadian citizen.

Kenny’s trouble began around 2006 when his old red and white health card fell apart with age and he was required to submit an application for a new one. Despite submitting the form on more than one occasion, Kenny has been unable to resolve the situation to receive a new health card.

Kenny’s first health card came in the mail in 1968. In 2006, when he applied for the new card he was told he needed to provide proof of citizenship.

“They know who I am when they want something,” Kenny said referring to the taxes he’s paid over these many years.

Like most, Kenny didn’t actively attempt to replace the card immediately after it became unusable since he was in good health and continued to see his long-time family doctor who had his health card num-

Stacey Roy/METROLAND

John Kenny has been struggling to be recognized a Canadian citizen and receive an updated health card. ber in his database. However, health issues have since come about for the retired man requiring regular monitoring.

The issues surrounding proof of citizenship and the need to have a health card have set off a series of applications and drew in many people from his life, including his former employer who wrote a letter confirming his employment for 40 years, and his sister who has received her Canadian citizenship. She traveled with her brother by boat in 1955 from their home country of Ireland and so her letter was required to prove his arrival in Canada.

“I don’t remember coming

over on the boat,” Kenny said.

This past summer, Kenny hired a lawyer to help him navigate the process, and is also working with MPP Randy Hillier’s office in hopes of receiving his green health card in the mail soon.

“We will get it done. I have no doubt,” Hillier said.

Kenny will be submitting his newest application to confirm his citizenship this week, but the process has been very frustrating.

While the local man hasn’t been refused health care to date, he is tired of living with that possibility over his head.

“It’s embarrassing,” he added. “Pierre Elliott Trudeau was the one who gave me the first one, so maybe Justin Trudeau will give me a new one.”

Hillier understands the frustration of Canadians like Kenny, but notes the new application process has been put in place to protect the system from fraud. Challenges with his health card are only the beginning of Kenny’s woes.

Questions over his citizenship have impacted his retirement years, as he is unable to travel without a passport.

“I’m a prisoner and a hostage in this country,” Kenny adds of the global refugee issue, “25,000 people are trying to get in and I can’t get out.”

the whole slated for Nov. 23, when the item will return for discussion and councillors will weigh in on the debate of service versus cost.

“I’m not sure we’re going to be able to have both,” added Coun. Lorraine Allen. “I’m looking forward to seeing what the police chief and board have.”

By the time the next committee sits, councillors will have had a chance to digest the police chief’s proposed budget and factor in this data into the discussions. The Nov. 12 meeting is open to the public and starts at 8:30 a.m. inside the police building off Hershey Drive.

Pankow noted the steady increase in the police budget from $2.7 million in 2006 to $4.8 million this year and the overwhelming input he’s received from the public saying the service is fantastic, but not something they can continue to fund, as two reasons why he tabled the item this week.

Cummings noted the police chief has been working on his budget for months and is just three days away from presenting his work to the board for discussion.

“To throw all that work away before it’s presented I think is wrong,” Cummings said.

He took exception to the mayor’s comment that past police budgets have been rubber stamped, saying all budgets are thoroughly debated at the board level with an eye to achieving the best public safety service for the best price.

“Just because no one on council has made comment on the budget before in your tenure doesn’t mean we can’t,” Cummings said.

This was confirmed by Kerry Costello, clerk who noted that council has the final say on all budgetary measures. That being said, this year’s police budget is about 88 per cent staffing costs leaving very little room for any cost saving measures to be done.

To this end, Cummings spoke to a reduction in staffing as “probably the only way you’d be able to do it [cut costs],” adding such a move would trigger an external review by a third party commission that would assess the proposal against the potential for impact on public safety. This discussion is part of the overall Sustainability Service Review process, which is underway.

OPP costing update The June 22 resolution also speaks to the possibility of expanding the police service area to neighbouring communities and formalizing their request for an OPP costing. Matthew Torigian, deputy minister of Community Safety wrote the town confirming the moratorium on OPP costing has been lifted effective Nov. 1, 2015 and that the OPP would be in contact with the town at some point to begin work on a costing.

“I don’t think we can make significant changes to the service we provide until a posting happens,” said Coun.

Jay Brennan.

Smiths Falls council deals with a number of issues around the horseshoe set down the footings for the new pedestrian bridge is scheduled to begin next week, according to Art Manhire, director of community services. Staff is wrapping up the planning stages of Confederation bridge update the project this week.

Work to remove the decking on “That’s just in time for the recConfederation Bridge will begin this reation summit. That’s great,” said Thursday, Nov. 12.

The system will allow the department to refill firefighters’ air Pedestrian bridge work begins tanks on site rather than sending staff Work to repair the spillway and to the hall to manually refill bottles.

Theatre sign moves to council A proposal to install a more permanent 50-square-foot sign on the road allowance of Cornelia Street in Smiths Falls was supported by councillors this week. The sign will replace the Station Theatre’s temporary trailer sign that is currently in use at the site. Councillors supported the variance for the larger sign, but wanted to remain consistent in their fees, so were unable to waive the $200 fee charge.

The following information comes from the regular Smiths Falls council’s committee of the whole session held Monday, Nov. 9, 2015.

Council door replacement Councillors agreed they wished to see a cost estimate on replacing the Chief Normand Beauchamp noted the hall’s refilling station is aging and exterior council chamber door with its replacement will be part of the pro- a heritage built custom door before moving forward with the project. Staff posed 2016 departmental budget.

came to committee this week with a design for a custom, factory built door that would cost between $4,000 and $5,000 to order and install. Staff has made calls to Algonquin College’s heritage institute to get a quote on the cost of a heritage built door in neoclassical design.

Allen, who sites on the Municipal Heritage Committee, said the heritage built option is very important to this committee as it would maintain the heritage nature of the exterior. She noted, the town hall is one of the few buildings in downtown that maintains its use, making the heritage investment even more valuable. The estimate will come back to committee for further consideration.

Public meeting Nov. 21 for new Let’s Make It a Movember to Remember at biofuel plant on Hershey Drive Mike Fair during our 2015 Model Clearance Event!

In last week’s newspaper, a story on the proposed biofuel plant stated that a meeting would be held, but no date was offered. The meeting is set for Saturday, Nov. 21.

Community feedback is being sought in the proposed opening of an 8,073-square feet biofuel facility at 1 Hershey Drive.

The public meeting is taking place at the Smiths Falls Curling Club from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 21 where details of the proposal to produce a maximum of 500kW of renewable energy that will be fed back into the system under a FIT contract will be given. The firm, C3 Acquisition Inc., has leased the facility space from Tweed Inc. with plans to install two generators that will be working simultaneously to produce power. The plant will be accepting feedstock for the system from local businesses and turning this material into energy. Traffic to the site is anticipated to be contained to one truck or rail car a month, which will deliver enough feedstock to fill four, 20,000 litre tanks for production.

Distress Centre Celebrates 25 years and is seeking phone line volunteers stress, depression, financial issues and more. All calls are kept confidential and volunteers are anonymous to the callers.

Volunteers are trained to let callers vent their issues and to be supportive.

The Distress Line is open for calls every night 365 days of the year from 5 p.m. to midnight. “It’s very important to be there for callers especially on holidays like Christmas and New Year’s Eve,” says Wyatt.

Volunteers can pick from one of two four-hour shifts a night. There’s an early shift from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. and a late shift from 8 p.m. to midnight. “We are all about flexibility,” says Fullarton.

“Volunteers book shifts depending on their own schedules and the shifts are booked on a ‘first come first serve’ basis.”

Volunteers can help in any one of six locations so we have volunteers from all over Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. They can book shifts in any one of six Call Rooms in Brockville, Perth, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Prescott and Gananoque.

Callers to the Distress Centre will be greeted by a well-trained, caring, nonjudgmental volunteer. Fullarton and Wyatt encourage anyone wanting support or just to talk to call the Distress Centre at 1-800-465-4442.

If you are interested in volunteering for the Distress Centre please call Fullarton or Wyatt at 613-345-1290.

New design concept may result in temporary space adaption in town Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Nicole McKernan, Smiths Falls town planner sees great opportunity in Kinsmen Park beside the town hall and thinks with the help of tactical urbanism techniques councillors and the town may see it, too.

Tactical urbanism is a new planning concept that was formally presented to council at this week’s committee meeting Nov. 9 and has grown out of the downtown revitalization movement. The idea is to empower people to, for a short time, take over public spaces and use their artistic abilities and green thumbs to make

them more people friendly. The key is to really think about how humans use the space.

“We’re doing it ourselves. Really, the Healthy Living Festival isn’t too far off that,” McKernan said.

Her presentation highlighted the opportunities at Kinsmen Park on Beckwith Street. This space is shown as a community gathering place and artistic hub in the town’s 2010 Downtown Master Plan. The futuristic plan calls for the closure of Daniel Street between Beckwith and Elmsley Street.

While such a permanent move isn’t being contemplated today, McKernan said, “You can use low cost tactical design principles to test it out and see

if it works.”

The idea would be to close up this section for a day or two and have people bring in temporary things such as planters and paint to make the space more human friendly. If the lost access point isn’t missed, the town will have this information and an idea of how the town wishes to use the space for their permanent planning process.

Coun. Lorraine Allen said she loved the concept, noting the Friends of the Library’s annual book sale on Daniel Street is a one-day example where the road is closed and the space is transformed into a reader’s gathering place.

In terms of the overall concept of creating more people-friendly spaces, Al-

len said: “My town’s always been that for me, but the fact that we’re now saying we’re going to design for it is exciting.”

Coun. Chris Cummings shares the excitement over this concept’s implementation in town, but cautioned his peers on acting too quickly on the Daniel Street location. Cummings is currently working with the Smiths Falls Public Library in creating a business plan. While the details of this plan have yet to be presented publically, Cummings did say they would “required Daniel Street being closed sooner than later.”

McKernan said the Downtown Master Plan does provide a number

of potential tactical urbanism opportunities for the town, which may find their way back to the council table during budget deliberations.

“We’ll look for vehicles to make this real,” said Art Manhire, director of community services.

Coun. John Maloney noted he liked the concept of creating sidewalks that are level with the street. In the pictorial examples shown by McKernan, this roadway would come with metal pillars that are placed at intervals throughout the street to separate the vehicle traffic from pedestrians. However, these pillars can be easily removed allowing for the entire streetscape to be used for public functions.

Syrian refugee family sponsorship opportunity in Rideau Lakes grateful to the Canadian Government’s radical hospitality to open doors to a new life. My mother, who had the fortune to live in Canada for the last eight years of her life, called Canada “the Promised Land, the land that flows with milk and honey”; and she was right. This relationship has not been a one way affiliation but a partnership of grace, growth, and generosity.

Now, 32 years after leaving Lebanon, I am urged to practice radical hospitality myself with the people I journey with. On Sept. 6, the ElginPortland Pastoral Charge took upon the challenge to sponsor a Syrian refugee family. All it takes is, 100 individuals to donate $300 each to have the required finances to sponsor a family and help them find refuge, a resting place, and a retreat from danger.

A few people have heard the call and are already responding. We believe, “United we stand and divided we fall.” We also believe that we can do anything we set our minds to, even though we know we cannot necessarily do everything.

Canadian Blood Services (CBS) will host the clinic at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club on Highway 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

CBS is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the blood supply in all provinces and territories outside Quebec and oversees the country’s OneMatch Stem Cell and

Marrow Network.

A team of about 4,800 staff members and 17,000 volunteers enable CBS to operate 41 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinic annually.

CBS is a non-governmental organization, however the provincial and territorial ministers of health provide operational funding and the federal government, through Health Canadais responsible for regulating the blood system.

Since 2013, the United Church of Canada has been actively contributing to humanitarian relief and sponsoring Syrian Refugees to call Canada “Home”. The Four Rivers Presbytery, which Elgin-Portland Pastoral Charge, Rideau Pastoral Charge, Delta-Toledo Pastoral Charge and Seeley’s Bay Pastoral Charge and seventeen other United Church Pastoral Charges are part of, has sponsored and helped settle two Syrian families in Kingston area, with a total of seven children in June and September. We have had such a great response from different denominations and interfaith partners that we want to keep the momentum going…

As a refugee myself, I know what it means to be a wandering evacuee looking for a place to call home. My journey was not as arduous as we see and hear reports on the news, however, it did have dangerous beginnings – insurgents who were breathing in hatred and exhaling fire were mere meters away from us while we were escaping Lebanon on the road to Damascus.

Remember When

This photo was submitted by Laurie Sawell who brought in some slides. The picture was taken in April 1973 and shows the swing bridge over the Combined Locks at the bottom of Beckwith Street and how it played havoc with the road traffic through town. This resulted in the construction of a single electrified lock combination with a sweeping curve in the road which eliminated this swing bridge.

Letter to the Editor

Reader anxious to hear town’s plans on intersection Dear Editor:

The following letter was sent to Mayor Shawn Pankow and Coun. Lorraine Allen.

After reading an article in a recent issue of The Record News, we are happy that the town recognizes the need to do something to rectify the situation before someone is seriously injured or killed on Brockville Street at Ross Street.

There are four Healey school buses making a left turn from Brockville

onto Ross morning and afternoon, with a lot of oncoming traffic at that time of day (and no marked turning lane) and there is no need for them to take such a risk with children on board when there is a turning lane and a light at Broadview which brings them to Percy Street and Chimo Elementary School with hardly any traffic to contend with. There is also a turning lane at Toulon Street which could be used by these buses. We would like someone from the town and the police services to bring this

up with Healey Bus Services.

Also, once the new extension of Wood Street to Broadview is finished, there will be a lot more traffic turning from Ross Street onto Brockville at the very intersection mentioned in the article.

Another thought that we had was to have Const. David Murphy spend a morning and afternoon with the crossing guard at this corner to see firsthand what the obstacles and danSee LETTER page SF9

K, so I’m a news editor, and as such I get a myriad of letters to sort through every week. Some letters are completely wacky, and don’t even get a second glance. A phone call verifies others then they are formatted and placed in appropriate folders for the corresponding newspaper.

Sometimes, those letters pile up due to space, as only so many can go on any given week. So they get backlogged, and yes, sometimes forgotten.

And sometimes a letter goes in the paper twice – inadvertently of course. Anything that can happen does happen in this newsroom.

I get yelled at, (the email equivalent is writing with ALL CAPITAL LETTERS), called names, harassed by phone calls and rude hang-ups.

I tell you, being a news editor is abusive at times. And that’s just from letter writers. People don’t realize that there are actual folks who care about the community on the other end of those hateful emails and phone calls. We bleed.

So this week I had to read a letter twice, scratch my head, and read it a third time. I got angry. I was going to reply to his email with some CAPITAL LETTERS of my own.

I took a sober second breath.

(Something I learned in this business. I have a hot head at times, and look out if you are hurting animals or children.

God have mercy.)

Well, this was an animal letter. Brace yourself.

I sat on it for a few days.

Then I emailed the man asking if his situation still warranted this letter.

He said it did.

The gist of it is he has a stray cat that was apparently dropped off at his doorstep. He began to feed it then he called a clinic to find out the cost of spaying the animal. He was being responsible. He didn’t want this cat to have unwanted kittens.

It was too expensive, he said.

“Ridiculous,” he wrote.

His calling around resulted in vets telling him that it would

LAURIE WEIR Weir View cost him this amount of money to spay this cat. Too much money, he decided. He wanted to keep this stray, “after all, it’s a great mouser!”

He wasn’t going to spay it… instead, he said, his only option is to shoot the kittens when they appear. He said kittens would eventually be coming along and he would take matters into his own hands.

The letter writer said I should write a column about urbanites who dump kittens in the country; that they should have the decency to get rid of them to a shelter, pay a vet for euthanasia or, in his words, “have the guts to drown, shoot, or whack the kittens over the head with a hammer.”

Now I know, back in the old days, this is what folks used to do. (Obviously, they still do!) I remember the “old people” in my life talking of this sort of thing when I was just a kid. It broke my heart. Back then, I could only sit hopelessly and cry while I huddled with the kittens I’d befriended at my grandparents’ farm. They lived in a pile of hay in the barn’s calf pen. I didn’t care that I was deathly allergic to hay and cats… oh, and horses, but that’s another story.

Back then I couldn’t do anything about this sort of thing.

I was so angry by the time I got to this part of the email that I had to take action. I called and emailed one of my contacts at an animal shelter.

She took his name and number, and his email address and will work on a solution for this cat.

There are a number of options, and none of them include untimely deaths for any unwanted kittens. My shelter friend will discuss these options with this man.

I appreciate people like those at animal shelters and rescue centres who go above and beyond the call of duty.

Thank you for what you do.

This is an excellent article on who we should be as Canadians. We are all our brothers/sisters’ keepers and reaching out to help them is who we are.

Each of us has an immigrant background. Let’s start by learning our own stories of coming to this country. Then we should share those stories with friends and relatives. Listen to the stories of other Canadians and appreciate those in turn. Then reach out to help refugees or former soldiers suffering with PTSD, or the homeless.

LETTER

Congratulations council for stand against Hydro One sale Dear Editor:

merce penned a letter to the Premier warning that one in 20 businesses in Ontario will flee the province in the coming years because of rising electrical rates.

Furthermore over 40 local chambers suspecting the government’s statements as less than true have banded together in a growing coalition calling on the government to provide clear evidence that electricity prices will not rise because of Wynne’s privatization plans.

On top of this over 180 municipal governments, including the entire northern half of the province, and now the Smiths Falls council have passed resolutions calling on the Liberal government to abandon its plan to privatize Hydro One. By passing their strongly worded resolution condemning the sale of Hydro One, your council has joined the growing ranks of community minded leaders from across the province who recognize the absolute importance of maintaining the competitive advantage that a public not for

I would like to congratulate Smiths Falls town council for taking a stand against the sale of Hydro One, dubbed boneheaded, by the Toronto Star.

It has been labeled as a short term solution that will cause permanent damage to Ontario’s economy by the Windsor Star, while Post Media stated that, “This looks like yet another bad fiscal decision from a provincial government with a well-earned reputation for making them.”

The sale of 60 per cent of Hydro One beginning this week with a 15 per cent sell off, is an economic disaster for the people, business and indeed the government of Ontario.

Energy Minister MPP Chiarelli claims that his government’s plan to privatize Hydro One will result in lower electricity bills rings resoundingly false.

So much so that over 83 per cent of Ontarians polled reject the idea of privatization outright.

The Ontario Chamber of Com-

profit electrical distribution system supplies to the people and businesses of Ontario.

They recognized that when you privatize a public service and introduce profit into the equation you inevitably end up with higher bills and lower levels of service.

For a community like Smiths Falls, and thousands of others across this province struggling to attract industry and grow local businesses, low energy costs are a key attractant.

A factor your council is all too well aware of.

Premier Wynne’s decision will not only rob the provincial treasury of nearly a half a billion dollars a year in revenue, it will force some businesses to cut back on hiring, it will force others to move out of province, and some to close up altogether.

Think too what the effect of a further 30 per cent increase in electrical rates will mean for our underfunded local hospital, how many more services will be cut there?

How many more bed closures will

that result in?

Will you be able to afford to pay higher property taxes to maintain the few hard-pressed remaining local services?

Meanwhile it will push even more hard working families into the desperate situation of being forced to choose between eating or heating.

Join with your local MPP, Randy Hillier, or Steve Clark, and let them know how angry you are. Or better yet call the Premier’s Office or Energy Minister Chiarelli and express to them your extreme displeasure, then sign our petition to stop the sale at www.hydronotforsale.com.

Please join with your council.

Together we can stop this privatization in its tracks before irreparable damage is to done to our province, our community and our families.

Your voice does matter!

CARP helps seniors to navigate the confusing waters of elder health care desmond.devoy@metroland.com

You need to be in your health to navigate our health care system.

That’s certainly the feeling of frustration some patients must feel when they have to coordinate their care in a system that may be full of well-intentioned, trained people, but where patients can still get lost along the way. Now imagine you are elderly, and are trying to navigate the same system. The doctor doesn’t do that any more. You needed one form before – now you need two.

Oh, that medication is only available in the United States. It hasn’t been approved by Health Canada yet.

And on it goes.

That’s why the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) Lanark County chapter held a seminar on helping seniors navigate the health care system, held at the Kinsmen Pavilion, Lower Reach Park, Smiths Falls, on Nov. 3.

For Jeff Mills, coordinator of Mills Community Support, one of the morning’s sponsors, he gave voice to the frustrations that many feel regarding the health care system: “Why can’t the health care system get its act together?”

In order to remedy this, “we need to talk together,” hence the hosting of seminars like this. “There are a lot of silos.”

Patients and their families can also be part of the solution.

“You have to advocate for your family,” said Mills. “And for yourself. That’s difficult when you don’t know what’s out there.”

Doug Burt of Community Home Support Lanark County recounted how it is his organization’s goal “to keep people happy, healthy, active and in their homes.”

One way they do this is through the Meals on Wheels program. The meals are delivered to the homes of seniors at $6 a pop, but there is also a diner’s club (not to be confused with the up-market credit card) for seniors who still want a hot meal, but also want to be social while literally and figuratively break bread.

There are also rides available, for $10 per trip, in town, with an extra $2 for each additional stop. The rides are tax refundable, which can be helpful when a trip to Kingston from Perth can run $80. (Financial assistance is available too.)

There is also a friendly visiting program which helps keep seniors connected to the outside world.

Moving from the personal to the practical, help is offered – at a cost – for help with housekeeping, like laundry and seasonal maintenance, at a rate of $16 an hour inside, and $20 an hour for outside work.

Footcare clinics are also available for $30 for the first visit, and $25 for each subsequent visit.

Burt has been most heavily involved in palliative care services for the past 10 years as a volunteer, and he stressed the need for caregivers to avail of respite care. (Fellow presenter Robin Hull, of the Alzheimer’s Society, agreed, saying that she has seen caregivers die or burn out from taking on too much and not taking advantage of respite care.)

The program also runs a bereavement program, since “some of us take longer to get over this life-altering event,” of losing a loved one. The related day hospice program has changed in the past few years: “Dignity House is phased out now,” he said, but continues on at its new home at 40 Sunset Blvd. in Perth, with activities like day trips, crafts, games and meals. He noted that his group is working towards a hospice in Almonte – there is already a palliative care room at the Great War Memorial Hospital campus of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.

For both the patient and their family, Burt reported that spiritual care is the newest addition to their repertoire. While respecting people’s individual beliefs, the program tries to answer that most human of questions: “Where does my hope lie?”

Even with health services trying to become more integrated, a certain degree of centralization is required. If you are looking to access help through the Community Care Access Centre, your new referral will likely go through their office in Kingston.

“Anyone can make a referral to CCAC,” said Tracy Elliot.

“We need consent (from the patient.) If we don’t get consent, we can’t go in.”

Her own son was born premature so she ended up needing the services of CCAC sooner than she had believed she would.

“It’s any age,” Elliot said.

“You never know when you will

need the services.”

The CCAC is not just for the very old. “It’s based solely on you and your health connection.”

If you are eligible for CCAC help, you will be assigned a care coordinator, who will handle your case file, and they will “follow you through your journey.”

CCAC clinics have proven to be a “huge success,” in dealing with issues. Rapid response nurses can also pay a visit to an elderly person soon after they are released from hospital for a visit or two to help coordinate medications.

Short-term stays in a care facility, for up to 60 days a year, are also offered to patients, at a cost of $37.77 per day – which includes room, food and nursing care. And subsidies are available too. “There is a wait list,” she cautioned, adding that not all long-term care facilities participate in this program.

There can be wait lists for up to two to three years to get into long-term care.

“It depends on where you live, what kind of homes you apply to,” said Elliot. “I keep hearing that they are trying to add on (long term care beds.) We need more long term care beds.”

She did warn participants, “if you refuse a long term care bed, we will remove you from the list.” She also added that a government subsidy only applies to basic rooms.

Caring for a loved one is a priority subject for Patti Lennox of Community and Primary Health Care.

“It’s not if you are going to become a caregiver, it’s when you will become a caregiver,” said Lennox. “We know people want to live at home. Families would like loved ones to be able to stay in their homes too.”

Her group also offers medication dispensers and Lifeline bracelets, and a free Care Partners mobile app.

“This app allows everyone to be on the same schedule,” Lennox said. “You’re all on the same page,” for coordinating, say, your mother’s doctor appointment schedule, specialist appointments, et cetera, amongst your siblings.

Following on from this workshop, and an earlier workshop held in Almonte’s Old Town Hall on Oct. 20, a third and final CARP workshop will be held at the Perth Civitan Club hall, 6787 Highway 43, on Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Local woman makes Magna Carta documentary possible sroy@perfprint.ca

Before Elizabeth Suffel died this summer she envisioned her legacy to be educating Canada’s youth by supporting the creation of a documentary on the Magna Carta, and this school year it was realized.

The Oct. 27, 2015 showing of the documentary Magna Carta: Our Shared Legacy of Liberty at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute was introduced by Rick Coldrey, president of the Smiths Falls Lions Club who made a promise to Suffel weeks before her death that he would bring the completed documentary to local students.

“It was a sacred obligation,” Coldrey said.

The documentary, created by John Robson, touches on the history of what is considered to be the first document that sets out rights and freedoms of people. The final version of the Magna Carta was accepted on June 19, 1215 and has since been credited for laying the foundation of individual rights and freedoms across the English speaking world. Some of the ideals found in the historic document include the notion that no one is above the law, women can’t be forced to marry, the legal process will be available to all, and that the collective funds were the funds of the people not the government.

The document was so important that by the end of the 13th century it was ordered to be read aloud twice a year so all citizens knew their rights.

Looking around the projects room Oct. 27, Robson linked the Magna Carta to the many soldiers students are currently writing biographies in the Lest We Forget project.

He suggested that if anyone asked these soldiers why they are running into battle “they would have answered ‘we are fighting for freedom.’”

This year marks its 800th anniversary of active use, but Robson is clear that this impressive milestone was not reached by collective agreement, but from the blood of

ENERGY!

Stacey Roy/METROLAND

John Robson was pleased to unveil his film, Magna Carta: Our Shared Legacy of Liberty at SFDCI Oct. 27 in honour of local resident and project supporter, Elizabeth Suffel. individuals who fought to uphold the rights and freedoms of the Magna Carta through the ages.

“This is a story of heroes,” Robson said.

“When you fail to respect liberty you pay a heavy price.”

The documentary itself was made possible by its own team of heroes like Suffel.

Through a Crowd Funding account, Robson was able to gather $75,000 to complete the documentary. In thanks for this generosity, Robson has made the documentary available on You Tube so that more people become familiar with the history and legacy of the Magna Carta.

“We can make it available for people for free because of people like Elizabeth,” Robson said.

He encouraged students Oct. 27 not to take the rights and laws found in the Magna Carta for granted, but instead accept the responsibility handed down by the generations who lived these last 800 years and protect the document from further decay.

“If we lose this we cease to be Canada,” he added. “This is where you come from and this is who you are and this is what I hope

you uphold. It can still be destroyed if we don’t stand up for it in our own time.”

The tenants of the Magna Carta have always been challenged, and continue to be under attack in many countries including Canada where the legal system is so expensive an average person is unable to make use of it.

Grade 12 student, McKenna Pipher has taken up this challenge by actively supporting minority causes. On Oct. 27 Pipher asked Robson why aboriginal rights were not mentioned in the presentation, to which he agreed this is another example of the importance of the Magna Cart and what can happen when it is not utilized. If the Magna Carta was put into effect, aboriginal peoples would be able to own their own property, which in turn would assist them in opening businesses.

“We need to give aboriginals the same rights that everybody else has,” Robson said.

MPP Randy Hillier knows first hand the ongoing battles to uphold the ideals of the Magna Carta.

“I see it so, so often that people are just unaware” of their rights as citizens, Hillier said.

He presented a Private Members Bill that would have allowed citizens to trigger a referendum through a petition, but it was defeated this September. The bill would have required 25 per cent of the number of voters from the last election to trigger a referendum.

This defeat hasn’t deterred Hillier, who has currently tabled a motion in the Legislature that asks for property rights to be protected in the constitution. While Hillier acknowledges there is a level of property rights in Canada today, he feels property rights have “been significantly diminished over the years.”

His property rights petition, which is available online at www.randyhilliermpp. com, has about 350 signatures of its 500 signature goal.

Protein: What Don’t You Know?

Fads in clothing come and go.

Women’s skirts go up and then get longer. Men’s pants get wide and then narrower. Fads also occur in medicine. In the 1980’s it was “low fat” for packaged foods and weight loss diets. Later on the buzz word was “low carb”. Now, walk down the aisle in supermarkets or health food stores and it’d hard to miss the protein content in foods, or protein added to cereals, granola bars or shakes. So today “P” is popping up Dr. Gifford-Jones everywhere. But what is so special about protein? In the past it was recommended for athletes who only wanted larger muscles. Now, it’s also for those who want to lose weight. But a report from the University of California says that protein has fallen victim to Marketing 101.

In effect, protein sells because consumers believe it to be “healthy”.

So, are North Americans consuming too little or too much protein? According to University of California researchers, most people are getting more than enough protein. This amounts to 47 grams for a 130 pound person and 67 grams for someone weighing 185 pounds.

The exception is people over 65 years of age who may not be getting enough dietary protein.

Some of these people have dental problems and find it difficult to chew protein such as meat.

Seniors also tend to lose muscle tissue due to age. And they have to be reminded of a basic physiological fact, that although protein is essential for healthy muscles, it’s not protein that builds strong muscles. Rather, it’s getting out of the chair and incorporating exercise into the daily routine.

Today, many seniors are in chronic care facilities because they’ve developed sarcopenia, weak muscles. The tragedy is that their leg muscles have become so weak they’re unable to get off the toilet. Or they fall, causing hip fractures which can mean ending life in a wheelchair or death.

So you’re a vegetarian? Does this mean you may be lacking in protein? It could be, if you’re not eating a varied diet and neglecting dairy products and eggs. But veggie lovers can also get protein from nuts, grains, beans and even vegetables.

For those who want to lose weight, is protein Marketing 101 fact or fiction? The majority of studies show that adding protein to a calorie restricted diet can promote loss of a modest amount of weight in the short term. And consuming extra protein tends to quell the hunger reflex unlike low protein diets. But high protein diets usually have the same outcome as other diets, the short term effect is positive, the long term a failure. The failure rate would be less if more fiber was consumed along with extra protein.

Since hypertension remains one of the big cardiovascular killers, extra protein can be helpful.

For instance, in 2014 The American Journal of Hypertension analyzed data from the long standing Framingham Heart Study.

It reported that people with the highest protein intake were 40 percent less likely to develop hypertension.

Readers often ask me if high protein diets can cause kidney disease. According to the University of California, research has shown that this is not the case if the kidneys are healthy.

But today one in nine adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD). So if you decide to go on a high protein diet be sure to check with your doctor to make certain you do not suffer from CKD. This is particularly important if you are over age 60, have diabetes, heart problems, hypertension, obese and a family history of CKD. Most people get more protein than they think. A 4 oz. chicken breast, and the same amount of tuna, shrimp and a can of sardines all have 30 grams, yogurt 17 grams, a slice of bread 3 grams, an oz. of cheese 7 grams and a cup of ice cream 3 grams.

My new book “90 + How I Got There” is available by sending $19.95 to Giff Holdings, 525 Balliol Street, Unit # 6, Toronto, Ontario, M4S 1E1 R0013550994_1112

Jean Aline

November 22, 1927 - October 1, 2015 The family of Jean Aline Gray (Clark) is saddened to share the news of her passing on October 1, 2015 in Kemptville, Ontario. Born in Montreal and raised in Mountain, Ontario, Jean was the daughter of Harold and Elsie Clark, sister of John, Margaret (Blaine) and Ann (Watson), mother of Nancy, Joan (Bulmer) and Ted, and grandmother of Laura, Alison, Luke and Chandra. Jean often shared memories of her family - her life growing up on the family farm, visiting relatives in Montreal and summer vacations with aunts and uncles in Quebec at the tranquil Lac Quenouille and Mètis Beach. At 16 Jean left the family farm and moved to a convent in Montreal, her mother’s home town, to learn French for one year. At 17 she entered McGill University that, at the time, teamed with returning WWII service men. The classes were big and intimidating, but this did not stop the young farm girl from finishing at the top of her math and science classes. Many of the friendships Jean established at university lasted the rest of her life. After graduating with a BSc from MacDonald College, Jean obtained an MSc in Biochemistry from Queen’s University.

She entered the workforce as a scientist with the federal government in Ottawa, followed by five years in the nutrition department at Guelph University. Over the next twenty years, Jean raised her family and enjoyed working in the chemistry department of Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B. Ever curious, Jean decided to change careers in her fifties and took computer science courses at Carleton University, becoming a programmer at AEA Electronics in the ‘80s. Able to turn her hand to many different things, Jean played the piano, sewed, knitted, painted, cross country skied, loved hiking and was an avid gardener. She enjoyed competitive bridge with friends and volunteered with Meals On Wheels in Kemptville. Jean lived the majority of her life close to where she was born. This area and its people greatly influenced her life. Jean was immeasurably devoted to her family and community. We are fortunate to have been loved, taught and guided by her. A Graveside Committal Service will be held at 1130AM on Saturday, November 21, 2015 at the South Gower Cemetery, 501 South Gower Drive, Kemptville. A lunch will follow in the Resource Room at South Mountain Public Library, 10543 Main Street, South Mountain. All are welcome.

Arrangements entrusted to Byers Funeral Home, South Mountain (613-989-3836).

Passed away in Victoria, BC on November 5, 2015 at the age of 66 years. She leaves to cherish her memory her loving family; husband Derwyn Ephraim Jones of 40 years; 2 sisters, June Trotter of White Rock, BC and Alice Nelson of Salt Lake City, Utah; and numerous other relatives and friends.

Lynda was born in Almonte, Ontario on August 11, 1949 and retained an intense love of the ancestral farm throughout her life. Lynda worked for BC Telephone/Telus for over 33 years and retired in 2002. She approached retirement with enthusiasm and eagerness to devote her considerable talents to the textile arts, painting and jewelry making. It also gave her time to garden and to make annual trips, each several months long, to the family farm in Almonte.

McADAM, Gracie – July 5, 1938November 13, 2010 What philosopher ANON said: “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.”

What Gracie (a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to anyone she met), after 5 years in Heaven SAYS: “When I am gone, release me, and let me go...

I have so many things to see and do.

You must not tie yourself to me with sorrow and tears, Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave to you my love, you can only guess, How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each showed me; But God’s wishes said it was time for us to travel on alone.

Understanding that grief is a must, but after 5 years...

Please let your grief be comforted by faith and trust.

It’s only for a while that we must part; So blessed are the memories within your and my heart.

Remember life on Earth goes on, but I’m not far away...

So if you need me, call and I will be beside you every day.

Although you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near, And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear; All of my unbounded love around you soft and clear.

And then, when it’s time to come to Heaven alone, I’ll wrap my arms around you and greet you with a big smile, And say, “Welcome home.”

Although we still toil here on Earth; Gracie left us with a beacon to follow.

If we remember what she taught us by her examples, We will all be better people, And she will continue to impact us in the wonderful ways she did in her life.

Loved and remembered forever, Buddy (husband) Debbie and Bob & Randy (children) Allan, Greg and Kristen, Austin & Laura (grandchildren) Taylor, Joshua, Mathew (and their mother, Pam) & Brennan (great-grandsons)

O’NEIL, Brenda Finnerty – We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

We think of you in silence, we often speak your name, Now all we have are memories, and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part.

God has you in His keeping, We have you in our heart.

They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal.

But neither time or reason will change the way we feel.

For no-one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times we have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, so there won’t be any doubt.

You’re so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without.

Love Always, Doug, Jason, Jeremy and Benji

Donald G. W. Wallace February 22, 1984 – November 13, 2014 Heaven called our Angel suddenly, And we never got to say goodbye, A year has quickly passed, But our hearts still beat slowly with pain, With struggling days, Sleepless nights with tear soaked pillows, Missing your smiles, laughs, and your amazing sense of humour, Wishing we could hear your voice one last time, Until we meet in heaven Son!

BarnDoor Productions’ Snowed Under a farce for Christmas Every Christmas story is like every other one, really. There’s a grumpy guy/gal, there’s a ghost/ angel, there’s a cute kid, there’s a Christmas miracle. Seen it a hundred times, right? How about something completely different for the holidays? How about a good old-fashioned, in-and-outthe-bedroom-doors romp – but one written especially for the Christmas season?

BarnDoor Productions is presenting the Canadian premiere (their second Canadian premiere of the season, by the way) of Alan Smithee’s hilarious farce, Snowed Under. The play is based on a 1936 movie, reversing the usual order of basing movies on plays. Back then, Hollywood movies were restricted by the Hayes Office Code, a set of censorship rules that defined what you could and couldn’t show in a movie. The original movie, only just over an hour long, was a cute little romp but, because of the Hayes Office, it had to gloss over most of the best possibilities for comedy. Smithee’s new adaptation is a full length, twoact barn-burner, written without the need to please a censor. The result is simply great fun.

Alan Tanner is a playwright whose inspiration has failed him, so he retreats to his house in the country, seeking time alone over Christmas to finish his new play.

He is followed by his first wife, his second wife, his second wife’s lawyer, the girl who wants to be his third wife, her father (who is also Alan`s producer), the deputy sheriff, the sheriff and the neighbour! Add two gallons of “apple jack”, three bedrooms among eight people and a blizzard, and the last thing that gets done on Christmas Eve is some quiet writing.

When the snow has finally settled, it’s all got a happy ending, everybody ends up with the one they should end up with and Christmas Day dawns bright and clear. It’s all good, innocent fun (after all, it was originally written in 1936), but there’s an awful

Every Christmas story is the same. As seen in BarnDoor Production’s 2014 show, the zany Every Christmas Story Ever Told, there’s a grumpy guy, like Scrooge (David Bird, left); there’s a ghost, like the Spirit of Christmas (David Jacklin, right), and there’s a cute kid – off stage in this picture. But Perth’s BarnDoor Productions will change all that with a new farce for the holidays when Alan Smithee’s riotous comedy Snowed Under makes its Canadian debut at Full Circle Theatre, Nov. 27, 28, 29, Dec. 3, 4, 5, 6. lot of laughs along the way.

BarnDoor Productions’ cast includes both veteran and new faces, with at least two community members making their stage debuts in this show. It’s a crash course in stagecraft for them, as the demands of a farce are both physical and mental: timing is everything and split second exactitude means the difference between big laughs and dead silence. It’s hard, repetitious work and getting it right takes sweat. The reputed last words of Canadian-born Hollywood producer Samuel L. Goldwyn were “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.”

As Herman, one of the characters in Snowed Under, might say, “There’s a lot of truth in that.”

Snowed Under runs Nov. 27, 28, Dec. 3, 4, 5 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 29 and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m.

Snowed Under is the meat in a great sandwich at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre over the next month. The bread is a pair of concerts by two of the greats of Canadian music. Nov. 24, Charles MacPhail presents Valdy, the Canadian folk music legend.

The Saskatoon Star Pheonix said that Valdy is “a master of country, folk, rock and blues, and the catch is that whatever the sound, people know that Valdy is sincere.” Tickets for Valdy are at www.shadowfax.on.ca.

Then, on Dec. 13, the great big sea comes to the little theatre by the Tay, as Sean McCa-

nn, formerly of perennial East Coast Music Award-winning group Great Big Sea, brings his “You Know I Love You” tour to Perth. McCann’s personal journey from world tours to solo performer make for an intimate presentation that is still full of the energy that helped take his band to world renown. Tickets for Sean McCann are at www. ticketsplease.ca.

The crispy lettuce in the sandwich is the Dec. 9 premiere of Rob and Sharon Newton’s documentary The Story of Perth, Part Two. Part One premiered at Full Circle Theatre last June and garnered great comment and excitement from the audiences.

Tickets for that screening are also at Ticketsplease.

Stretching the sandwich metaphor, the juicy tomato slice must be Film Night International, as they conclude their fall series on Nov. 25 (they’ll be back for the winter/spring, though) with Atom Egoyan’s new film Remember, featuring Academy Award-winners Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau.

This new Canadian film is not be missed. Go to http://filmnightinternational.blogspot.ca for more details.

That leaves the Academy for Music Theatre’s Dec. 11 and 12 showcase performances of Disney’s Aladdin as the tangy cheese part of the sandwich. This is the second year the Academy has brought their youth workshops to Full Circle Theatre and the showcase performances are always great fun to see.

It’s a full month of exciting entertainment at Full Circle Theatre, Perth’s only groundlevel, barrier-free theatre. The theatre is at 26 Craig Street, in Perth, near Last Duel Park. Information on all the events at Full Circle Theatre, including ticket orders for Snowed Under, can be found at www.barndoorproductions.ca or simply by calling 613-267-1884.

House tour funds enrich women’s education locally The Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour, set for Dec. 5 and 6, has been a holiday fixture now for nine years and tour guests over that time have found that it is well worth the ticket price.

Perth seems to have an unlimited number of lovely heritage or heritage-inspired homes from which to draw for our fundraiser.

We feel the extra touches are what make this tour shine. Local decorators and florists contribute their skills to help dress the homes for the holidays. Visitors

are entertained by talented local musicians providing background ambiance as they tour. Of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas without delicious cookies and these can be enjoyed with warm cider courtesy of the Sunflower Bake Shop.

The whole community supports the event as evidenced by the specially priced lunches offered to ticket holders by St. James Anglican Church and many local restaurants.

What really makes this experience special is knowing what the

Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth & District will do with the money. Since the tour began, over $150,000 has been distributed in Lanark County in support of education. In the past year alone, bursaries totalling $17,000 have been awarded to seven young women studying in such diverse areas as environmental studies, biology, practical nursing, respiratory therapy, and social service work. As a tour guest, you can be part of making the dream of

post-secondary education possible for deserving candidates.

CFUW also supports libraries and literacy programs. It is a real win-win scenario. While you experience an insider’s view of lovely homes, beautifully decorated, and enjoy the ambiance of beautiful music – and let’s not forget the cookies! You can take delight in knowing that you are helping further the cause of education in Lanark County.

Trudeau unveils ‘a cabinet that looks like Canada’ Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to bring back “government by cabinet.”

In a conscious deviation from former prime minister Stephen Harper, Trudeau has said he wants to give his cabinet ministers more power than they would have had under the centralized regime of his predecessor.

“This is going to be a period of slight adjustment for a number of people in the political world in Canada. Government by cabinet is back,” Trudeau said, speaking as prime minister for the first time, following his swearing-in ceremony on Nov. 4.

“We are going to sit down around the cabinet table and talk about the solutions that need to be put forward, what is in the best interests of Canadians and how we’re going to deliver on the promise Canadians quite rightly expect us to keep.”

He made the comment in response to a question about the refugee crisis after he and his cabinet ministers were sworn in at the Governor General’s residence earlier that morning.

A crowd of hundreds eagerly greet-

of environment and climate change.

Speculation had swirled that Orléans MP Andrew Leslie might be among the cabinet ministers, but he was not among the MPs who followed Trudeau into Rideau Hall on Nov. 4. Other noticeable absences included former Toronto police chief Bill Blair, who was elected in Scarborough Southwest, and Spadina-Fort York MP Adam Vaughan.

The cabinet also included veteran Liberal MPs such as Ralph Goodale, who will be minister of public safety, and Stéphane Dion, who was named foreign affairs minister.

There will be seven cabinet ministers from the Toronto area, six from Quebec, three from B.C., two from Alberta, one each in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and one from each of the Atlantic provinces.

Trudeau will also take on the responsibility of being the government’s minister of intergovernmental affairs and youth.

After the ceremony, Trudeau took questions from reporters on the refugee crisis, climate change and China.

In another contrast of style with See TRUDEAU page 46

Harper, Trudeau walked back along the driveway to the Governor General’s residence before he left, engaging with as many people in the crowd as possible.

Hundreds watched the ceremony on screens on the grounds of Rideau Hall and then lined the residence’s driveway to get the chance to shake the prime minister’s hand.

Harper met with Gov. Gen. David Johnston privately at Rideau Hall before the swearing-in ceremony to tender his resignation.

Latest Bond film combines classic touches with new twists Register now for free lake health workshop Nov. 14 in Almonte MOVIE: Spectre STARRING: Daniel Craig, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, David Bautista, and Christoph Waltz DIRECTOR: Sam Mendes RATING: PG I’ve been looking forward to Spectre all fall. I love James Bond. I love Daniel Craig as Bond, and I knew for this film they’d be pulling out all the stops.

James (Daniel Craig) is on a mission. It isn’t official. It isn’t sanctioned. Even M (Ralph Fiennes) doesn’t know what Bond is up to.

Which is bad timing given the British government is looking for a reason to shut MI6 down.

The trouble is James doesn’t trust anyone. A message sent to him from beyond the grave from the previous M (Judi Dench) has sent James hunting.

He’s looking for the head of a secret

My Take

Mark haskins

criminal organization. An organization whose scope and reach goes beyond belief. An organization that’s on the cusp of taking over the world without anyone even realizing it. An organization called Spectre.

James’ search leads him to Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) who may hold the key to finding Spectre. With some help from Q (Ben Whishaw) and Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) James goes on a worldwide hunt to stop Specter. Though the truth of who is behind it all will cut James to his core.

Spectre is very reminiscent of the classic Bond films. The exotic locations, the impossible chase scenes, the desperate fights, the larger-than-life villain, and an evil plot to dominate the world. It has all the hallmarks of those classic Bond movies, but with the gritty edge of the modern Bond.

There were times when I felt the two were at odds. However, just when I thought they’d gone too far, something would be revealed that made everything fit. It was beautiful how

everything connected, and not just within Spectre, but to all the Craigera Bond films.

Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris have re-defined the roles of Q and Moneypenny. In contradiction Ralph Fiennes’ take on M is more old school, but highly effective. Spectre henchman Hinx is a classic Bond thug if ever there was one, and David Bautista’s physical presence and ferocity makes him perfect.

Madeleine Swann has the allure of the classic Bond heroine, and the intelligence and capability of the modern Bond heroine. Lea Seydoux captures both sides beautifully, and does it in a way that challenges Bond like never before.

Christoph Waltz is always a pleasure to watch. As Oberhauser he is masterful. His presence exudes a ruthless intelligence that makes him seem unstoppable. His is the best Bond villain to date.

For all its nods to the classic Bond this is still very much Daniel Craig’s character. This is Bond the assassin.

This is Bond the killer. Craig has stepped into this beloved, well-known role and not just made it his own, but made it unforgettable.

Spectre is the film that ties all the other ones together. It’s the climax we’ve been waiting for, and it was well worth the wait.

flood risk and protect the health of local lakes and rivers.

Learning how runoff from your property impacts water is very important. Runoff from rainfall has become a leading cause of poor surface water quality. As rain flows over hardened services (pavement) or heavy manicured properties, it picks up nutrients like fertilizer and animal wastes, oil, heavy metals, road salt, cigarette butts and more. These pollutants are carried untreated into rivers and lakes, damaging aquatic ecosystems, limiting recreational uses like swimming and fishing, and threatening source water for drinking downstream. Managing rain where it falls can be to everyone’s benefit.

In large skillet, heat half of the butter over mediumhigh heat. Add onion, garlic and hot pepper; cook, about three minutes. Add red and yellow peppers; cook until vegetables are tender and slightly golden, about four minutes. Add potatoes; cook until warmed through, about four minutes.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt and pepper to taste.

In large non-stick skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat.

Add egg mixture; cook until no liquid remains, about four minutes.

For each serving, put two tostadas on plate; top each with 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped turkey, 1/2 cup (125 mL) potato mixture and follow with eggs. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Too large or too small tires will affect vehicle performance cent from original manufacturers’ specs. You most certainly would experience an inaccurate odometer/speedometer (reading 104 km/h on the dash while only travelling at 96 km/h for example).

The other changes/damage this would bring to the vehicle is hard to predict. Car companies don’t test their vehicle systems with tires other than with those sizes they have chosen for the vehicle.

If your vehicle is equipped with various speed sensors (those on the wheels for anti-lock brakes, and those in the power-train for transmission and engine controllers) the use of too small or large tires can ‘confuse’ computer control systems leading to transmission mis-shifts, ABS failures, and would most likely turn on various warning lights. Of course none of this might happen. The worst case I ever experienced was with a Jeep Patriot where it stalled when we took it out of the shop after mistakenly installing the wrong sized winter tires and it wouldn’t restart until we installed the correct size and reset the computer.

There are exceptions to this, like everything else in life. I’m sure we’ve all been in traffic looking at an extremely outfitted truck with tires taller than our cars. How do these drivers avoid wrong-sized tire problems? For those 4X4 enthusiasts, there are after-market companies that create plug in computer chips that will allow the truck to operate correctly with much larger-thanoriginal spec sizes. So why can’t you get a chip for a minivan or

small SUV? Supply and demand.

There’s a gold mine of money to be made from catering to offroad and lifted-suspension truck owners, so there are a lot of firms making components and systems for this market.

So like the rest, I am unable to give you a complete list of what may or may not happen with the wrong sized tires. But if I was trying to limp along a tired vehicle through our worst of seasons, I wouldn’t start off by handicapping it with the wrong sized tires.

After a recent column on distracted driving I received this letter from a thoughtful reader (who makes some excellent points) and also owns a very nice summer ride.

“Good day Mr. Turner, I have read, as I always do, with interest your latest article relating to distracted driving. I absolutely agree with your comments regarding the problems that lack of attention caused by so many in car devices can cause and often do resulting in an accident. The question that I ask why do people today feel the need for these electronic add-ons, do we really need to be in touch by cell phone for 24 hours per day? Maybe this is because so many young people including preteens can spend up to nine hours

per day glued to their tablets and smart phones. What has become of face-to-face contact between friends?

The modern car for me has become just too complicated. Take for instance collision warning if you are approaching another vehicle at too high a speed, or blind spot indication? As for park assist, whatever happened to learning to drive properly! What happens when these devices malfunction as surely they will? There is then the danger that we will have forgotten one of the important elements of driving such as the ability to compute in our heads distance and speed, etc.

Arriving from the UK in 1989 after driving extensively in most European countries we took the Canadian driving test and in all honesty it was a joke compared with the European standards. Another peeve of mine is the drive thru coffee and burger shops because drinking hot coffee or scoffing a burger dripping tomato ketchup or the like on your lap is hardly conducive to careful and aware driving.

As for myself I have one car which one has to be totally alert and aware all the time. It is a 1935 Singer Le Mans and there are no direction indicators. It has a “crash gearbox” meaning you must double clutch for every gear change. There are no seatbelts and believe me when you are behind the wheel it commands your total concentration and for that reason it is highly unlikely that you instigate any accident with this vehicle.

Lynn Miles to grace Gallipeau Centre Theatre this week She’s an incredible songwriter, and better yet, she’s an amazing singer and she’s coming to Smiths Falls to perform at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre. Canada’s own Lynn Miles will take the stage on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m.

“We’re going to do old songs, new songs and the audience will laugh and cry, but probably laugh more because Keith and I get really funny together,” chuckles Miles.

Keith in this case is none other than Keith Glass, formerly of Prairie Oyster. Miles and Glass have been playing together on and off for the past 14 years.

“She’s wonderful to work with, primarily because she’s a great songwriter, a great singer and a great musician, there really are no gaps in her skill set,” says Glass.

In that sense he says working with her is easy because as the second he knows exactly where he needs to be in musical terms, at any given time.

Lynn Miles will be at the Gallipeau Centre Nov. 14. is one of Canada’s rare musicians who managed to go professional at an early stage and not only survive, but thrive.

“I was 18 when I became a professional musician,” she says.

While that might seem awfully young, it seems she had a bit of a head start.

“My mom, says she knew I was asleep in my crib because the singing would stop!” says Miles.

With 12 albums to her credit, the consummate songwriter says

she finds inspiration in the human condition, in human relationships, in exploring why people do the things they do. Most importantly she says she loves the beauty of words.

“I read a lot, I’m currently reading Jonathan Franzen’s Purity, but I read a lot of non-fiction as well, I enjoy history, psychology, philosophy and world affairs, anything really that can spark an interest or lead me to a song, I’ll read,” she explains.

Not surprisingly her musical influences have been singer/songwriters as well, the likes of Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot and of course Leonard Cohen, to name but a few.

“Carol King was my first big influence, I’m old enough to have bought her Tapestry album, and for me it was the first affirmation that you could write songs,” says Miles.

Her own songs are extraordinarily truthful, vulnerable

and poignant; sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always beautiful when sung in her unique voice.

She really is one of Canada’s musical treasures.

“Whether you know Lynn Miles or not, won’t matter, she’s such a professional musician and has so much experience as a performer that her concerts are always a joy to catch,” says Howaida Sorour-Roberts, acting artistic director at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre.

Tickets for this concert are just $20 and are on sales now. Get your tickets early and avoid a line up at the door. Tickets can be purchased online at twww.tickepro.ca or at www.gallipeaucentretheatre. com or by calling the Gallipeau Centre box office at 613 - 2051493. Parking is always free and the onsite cash bar opens before the show and during intermission. There is also a canteen in the lobby. Hope to see you there.

“Hello, I have been attempting to get a clear answer to a question, but unfortunately no answer, just finding a great deal of frustration. I drive a 2007 Equinox – well out of warranty – and quickly reaching the end of days as the motor is tired enough to be using some oil as of late. I need to drive it at least through the coming winter and do not wish to and cannot afford to put expense into this vehicle. The current tires size is P235/65R16.

I have some tires on same size rims but rubber is smaller at P205/60R16. This is an eight per cent difference.

I asked at the local GM dealer if I put the smaller tires on for the winter, (while I expect the speedometer would be off), what if any damage would be caused to the transmission. I was told that the transmission would attempt to shift sooner and the vehicle would bog down with a loss of power. Does this translate to damage? I also tried to get the answer from GM Canada. Three times the answer was changes “may adversely affect the safety and performance.”

Do you have any clear answer to this question, or is it just not recommended as it may adversely affect the safety and performance.

Thanks for your time.”

Thanks for the question. Yes, the tire size you are considering is eight per cent smaller than the original in terms of overall circumference. The tire industry does not recommend increasing or decreasing a tire’s circumference by any more than three per

G.H. Metals CEO releases statement on closure The following statement was received Nov. 6 from Gord Hicks, president and CEO of G.H. Metals in Smiths Falls.

On Monday, Oct. 26, G.H. Metals in Smiths Falls shut down operation of its manufacturing plant at 36 Lorne Street after 23 years in operation.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our workers and production staff for their many years of hard work and dedication.

Our 23 years of success would not have been possible without everyone’s loyalty and enthusiasm.

Closing the plant was not a conscious decision by the management staff, but rather a necessary reality. We fought against the closure for as long as we could. The widespread collapse of the manufacturing sector over the past decade, both in Smiths Falls and in Canada, is a shame, and has been detrimental to the community and families across the country.

We are tremendously saddened at the loss of 23 jobs in the community.

As a company, we have continually strived to support our employees, as well as local and Canadian businesses, because we see first-hand how important they are to the community and to families.

However, we feel that this should be a time to celebrate the company’s remarkable achievements. The company first got its start in 1946 as part of Beach Industries in Smiths Falls, famously started by Russ Beach.

In 1992, G.H. Metals’ President and C.E.O. Gordon Hicks acquired Beach’s mailbox production division.

In subsequent years, the company grew to become the largest Canadian exporter of mailboxes, and most recently launched the Beach Toolboxes line – a tribute to Russ Beach’s boxes, reimagined for today.

Moving forward, we wish our employees and the community nothing but success.

Chimo principal takes on new challenge A veteran educator with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) will take on a new role with the Ministry of Education.

Carole Dufort, principal of Chimo Elementary School, has been hired as an education officer with the Ministry’s Ottawa office. She will begin her new job on November 9.

Working within eastern Ontario, she will act as an adviser to schools and school boards on Ministry of Education legislation, policies and programs, and ensure compliance. She will provide guidance relating to a variety of portfolios

such as Safe Schools, Early Learning, French as a Second Language, Aboriginal Education, Equity and Inclusion and Special Education.

“It’s with mixed feelings that I take on my new role,” said Dufort. “I’ve been with this board for 25 years and have had great moments in my career and have loved my time at our board, but this is a wonderful opportunity and a new challenge, and I’m looking forward to the next step in my life.”

At these four sites, local organizers will arrange for daily civic celebrations that will include music, dinners, dances, children’s games, gospel singalongs, church services, military encampments and skill demonstrations reflective of that period.

Brockville ceremonies begin around noon hour on Sunday, May 15, 2016 with a call from a Town Crier and greetings from Brockville’s mayor.

Invited historical guests include the Honourable Charles Jones (aka Brian

Porter), the Brockville Pipe and Drum Band and the Brockville Infantry Company. First Presbyterian Church is discussing ways to play a meaningful part in this event.

The Trek resumes a short ways outside Athens for a family oriented late afternoon/evening program on the same day. The re-enactors approach Delta on Tuesday evening, May 17, and Portland on Wednesday, May 18 where local organizers are hoping to especially involve area elementary schools in various activities.

Provision of land transportation from Brockville to Portland has been requested through the Leeds County Draft Horse Club.

The Highland Bus Company will assist the P&DCI students to get to the Portland site. The Trek will conclude on Friday, May 20, 2p.m. by flotilla at the Perth Basin.

Volunteers have been located with direct links to the original group of settlers and they will be leading the Trek from Brockville. The Oliver family of Drummond/North Elmsley, prominent members of Perth’s St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, will form the core of this procession.

Others with similar genealogical backgrounds and interests who choose to volunteer are encouraged to join the Trek at any point on the land route. For those with canoes, you can join the flotilla at Perth’s Last Duel Park docks and follow the lead group

into the Basin.

From page SF1

He said he would like to see a system that is streamlined to allow government staff the ability to see a person’s entire record in a country. If they are found to have been gainfully employed for a number of years, paid taxes to the country and is otherwise a contributing member of society, Kenny said he feels they should be considered Canadian and given all the rights and freedoms of their neighbours.

It seems Kenny’s experience isn’t unique. According to Don Chapman, author of the book Lost Canadians, one in 35 Canadians are considered stateless. Chapman is calling for a complete review of the Citizenship Act and the creation of a citizenship ombudsman to ensure the act meets the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“We have a Citizenship Act that is so convoluted today that no one knows who is a citizen and who is not,” Chapman said.

Chapman lost his citizenship when he was six years old and his parents moved to the United States of America. At the time his mother maintained her Canadian citizenship, but his father, for work reasons, applied for American citizenship. As Chapman explains it, he and his mother were considered his father’s property so everyone lost their citizenship when his father’s paperwork came in. Happily, Chapman’s efforts have resulted in the overturning of the law in June 2015 that would see women and children as the man’s property.

Ottawa Jr. Sens give Smiths Falls Bears a tumble in weekend series STAFF

The Smiths Falls Bears did all they could to keep the Ottawa Jr. Sens at bay Friday night and again Saturday as the Sens claimed two wins in their home and home series last weekend to strengthen their lead at the top of the CCHL Tier 1’s Yzerman Division with 36 points.

There is now a logjam in the second place spot in the Robinson Division.

Carleton Place still leads the pack with 43 points on 21 wins and four losses.

Smiths Falls, Brockville, Hawkesbury and Cornwall are tied for second place with 30 points each. Also with 30 points, is the Yzerman Division’s Cumberland Grads. They sit four back of the Jr. Sens.

Ottawa 3 Smiths Falls 2 The scoreboard Saturday night in Ottawa was a carbon copy of Friday night as the Sens claimed their second 3-2 victory over the Bears in as many starts.

Ottawa got out to the lead early in the first period with two unanswered goals.

Samuel Meisenheimer and Zacharie Car each scored on power play opportunities for a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.

In the second Nicholas Coates scored from Corey Caruso and Chris MacMillan to put the Bears within reach.

In the third period, Curran tied the score at two apiece with his unassisted goal at 2:14 of the frame.

It wasn’t until the 7:35 mark that Ottawa was able to score the winner.

Kyle Hillick got the credit for the game winner as he got past Smiths Falls netminder Dyllan Lubbesmeyer who faced 22 shots in the losing effort.

Ian Andriano had the win for the Sens, facing just 19 shots.

Smiths Falls was hit with 20 minutes on six infractions, and Ottawa was whistled for five minors.

Stars of the game were Johnathan Kovacevic and Meisenheimer of Ottawa and Curran of Smiths Falls.

Ottawa 3 Smiths Falls 2 The Bears got off to a great start Friday night at home, scoring first in the opening period when newcomer Joey Rutkowski scored. He was assisted by Matthew Kenny and Broydon Stufko at 14:54.

In the second, Brett Garvey gave the Bears a 2-0 lead with his shot from Cole Busschaert at 9:24.

But then it was all Ottawa as Jaren Burke and Jared Leslie tied the game with under two minutes remaining in the second.

In the third, the Bears let it slip away when Daniel Sarracco scored and they couldn’t get it back.

Marcus Paulino faced 27 shots in the win while Evan DeBrouwer turned away 21 shots in the losing effort.

The penalties were few in this fast paced game with Ottawa taking four minors and Smiths Falls just two.

There were 511 fans in attendance and game stars were Sean Rappleyea and Jared Leslie for Ottawa and Brett Garvey for the Bears.

Coming up Smiths Falls hosted Hawkesbury Tuesday night, but results were not available at press time.

Friday, the Bears are travelling to Gloucester for a 7:30 p.m. start. Sunday, they host their Highway 15 rivals as the Carleton Place Canadians are in the Bears Den for a 2 p.m. faceoff.

It’s the Carleton Place Bears versus the Smiths Falls RedHawks in the senior girls Lanark County Interschool Athletic Association this week.

In the junior match, the Notre Dame Warriors will take on the Perth Blue Devils from PDCI. The Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute RedHawks earned their way to the Lanark County finals after eliminating the Notre Dame Catholic High School Warriors of Carleton Place on home court last Thursday afternoon.

It was an evenly-matched showdown with the RedHawks holding a slight three-point lead at half time.

That carried through to the final buzzer as the RedHawks held on for a 24-21 win and will be up against the defending champions from Carleton Place High School.

CPHS defeated the Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils 38-33.

Games are to be held Tuesday next week, (Nov. 10) in Smiths Falls, with game two going Nov. 12 in Carleton Place. Game three (if necessary) will be held in Smiths Falls on Nov. 13.

Second skate drop is taking place in Smiths Falls now until Dec. 5 Do you have some gently used skates that would love a second life?

Or are you in need of a pair for this year’s ice skating season?

Volunteers in Smiths Falls are holding another skate swap. This year, pick up will be held on Dec. 5 at two locations, including at Modern Thymes Health and Bulk Foods, and at Elizabeth Interiors.

Folks can drop off unwanted skates any time at either of these two location and if you are

need of skates, please visit these locations on Dec. 5, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Organizers are holding it earlier in the year to accommodate more of the ice skating season. (It was held on Valentine’s Day last season.)

Modern Tymes is located at 11 Russell St. E., and Elizabeth Interiors is located at 8 Chambers St. Smiths Falls.

“Last year over 70 people were able to find skates and get out on the ice. Some of them left immediately to go skate at the Gerry Lowe Sens

Rink. That felt really rewarding. It was really fun,” says Heather Whiting, who helped to organize the event.

“We are hoping to get even more participation this year, people dropping off or swapping skates. We can’t guarantee we’ll have the size you need. It will depend on what sizes have been dropped off so it’s first come, first served. However, we still have a couple of boxes of skates left over from last year so we have a good start already. It’s very important to know that you don’t have to have skates to exchange to get skates,”

Whited said.

The group is also looking for hockey sticks, pucks and helmets. Please label the size of the skates on the outside – masking tape is best.

This makes it easier to organize.

The skate swap committee is also looking for some volunteers to help sort skates and to assist people as they try on skates. If you’d like to volunteer, or to find out more information, email Heather Whiting at heathercwhiting@ gmail.com Submitted by the Skate Swap Committee

Sam Gow celebrated her 19th birthday Oct. 10 – right in the middle of rugby season.

The former Smiths Falls District High School student is now attending Guelph University where she is enrolled in criminology and public policy. She made the school’s rugby team (lock position) and says her high school days of playing the sport have helped her along the way.

“I had an amazing high school rugby coach (Jacob Swarbrick),” Gow said in an email exchange with this newspaper. “He prepared me for rugby and I felt like I knew everything I needed going into my rookie year.”

Swarbrick said Gow was a “very good high school player” and he was impressed with her league play this season at a higher level.

Gow said the switch from high school rugby to university is a big change. “…We are practicing hard every day for two or more hours,” she stated. “I am working out more than I was in high school and the girls here are way bigger than the high school teams I have played. University level rugby has such talent and physicality that high school cannot match.”

Gow said her Guelph team “is amazing” and the girls are “awesome… in such a short time they have
