We will remember News – Remembrance Day services were held on Monday, Nov. 11 at the Smiths Falls cenotaph with a member of the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Canadian Regiment from Petawawa standing on guard at one corner with the white crosses commemorating some of the town’s fallen in the foreground.

Community – She’s one of those people who always manages to make everyone around her feel very special and this weekend Beth Sinclair’s friends want her to know that she’s special.

“She’s someone that anyone can connect with very easily, she gives so much of herself,” said Pam Saumure, a fellow member of the Smiths Falls Free Methodist Church.

A mother of three under the age of seven, Sinclair works at Big Brothers and Big Sisters and has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Her husband Craig is by all accounts an exceptionally supportive husband and father.

“But Craig had an accident at work at a Home Depot in the Seattle (U.S.) area, and the benefits and protection laws are a little different there than they are for us, so there’s not a lot of support,” said Tom Evans, a fellow church member who did some work at the Sinclair house and got to see the dynamics first hand over a period of several weeks.

“He does everything for those kids and for his wife – he made costumes for the kids at Halloween, he helps them with school projects. For a dad who didn’t choose to be a stay-at-home dad he does an amazing job,” said Evans.

Craig’s accident left him with a brain injury that resulted in debilitating headaches and extreme sensitivity to smells and light.

“I’ve only seen him once, he’s not able to go out in public,” said Saumure.

In spite of that disability Craig doesn’t give up.

“You’d think the way he puts his heart and soul into it, that they’d chosen to do this – he’s a great cook as well, he really rises to the occasion,” added Tom. While Beth continues to work through her treatment to support her family, her friends and admirers in the community are reaching out to the family.

“For a dad who didn’t choose to be a stay-at-home dad, he does an amazing job.”

TOM EVANS FRIEND OF THE FAMILY

“We her friends are having a fundraiser to help this family with some of the expenses that come along with fighting cancer,” said Penny Evans, fundraising coordinator and Tom’s wife.

The fundraiser is being held on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 2 Gould Street and has taken the form of a family fun day.

The Evans have planned a cakewalk, children’s games and road hockey. They will have cotton candy, popcorn, hot dogs and a canteen going from 1 to 4 p.m.

“We’re also holding a silent auction and a live auction,” said Penny.

According to Penny, businesses in town have been very generous and there will be some wonderful gifts at the auctions. The members of Beth’s circle urge everyone to come and support this young family that’s going through a difficult time. “Beth’s a really neat gal, very humble and always puts other people before herself,” said Tom.

Salvation Army Kettle Campaign kicks off Saturday, Nov 15 The Smiths Falls Bears have a three-win week and solidify second place.

News - The Christmas season is fast approaching and with it comes the annual Salvation Army Kettle Campaign. The Smiths Falls community has been extremely generous in past years, with both their time and their donations.

Unfortunately, due to economic hard times, the demand for Salvation Army services has increased significantly and the corps relies heavily on this once a year

funding drive. The funds raised through the Kettle Campaign stay in the community and support its Social Services programs throughout the year. These services include Kids for Camp, the lunch program, utilities aid, emergency food baskets, Christmas hampers and much more.

Organizers invite members of the public to experience the gift of volunteering by manning one of the Christmas

Kettles this season. Donating as little as two hours of one’s time can mean the difference in the life of someone less fortunate. There is a variety of locations, all indoors, with a number of shifts available.

If you can spare some time to bring joy and hope to others by manning one of the kettles please call The Salvation Army at 613-283-3563 and ask for Debbie or email at debbie_lafleur@can.salvationarmy.org.

More than 500 angels in need of good cheer this holiday season

By LAURIE WEIR laurie.weir@metroland.com

Community – It’s grown from 50 angles to well over 500 in the past 28 years and together, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Lanark County Child and Family Services are working together to bring a little Christmas cheer to needy children throughout the area. “It’s year 28 and as we approach nearly three decades with this pro-

gram, it is a true testament to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area,� said Const. Paige Whiting in a press release.

The angel tree program has been supporting children in the area with gifts at Christmas for almost 30 years. On each of the cards that adorn the various Christmas trees, is a child’s age, sex and something about them so the gift-giver has an idea what the child would like

to find under the tree on Christmas morning.

Folks are encouraged to pick up an angel or two, and provide an age appropriate gift and return it with the angel tag to the tree from where it was placed, by Dec. 11.

The gifts should not be wrapped or in gift bags, as they will be sorted and collected by OPP and the Crime Stoppers unit on Dec. 12.

This year, the program started with 580 angles on trees at the OPP detach-

ments in Perth, Carleton Place and East Region Headquarters in Smiths Falls, and municipal offices in Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands, Drummond/North Elmsley, Montague, Beckwith, Mississippi Mills and at the Pakenham library.

There are many other businesses involved in this year’s event, including WOW FIT, Eaton, Albany in Perth and Ladies Under Construction in Almonte.

In Tay Valley, clerk

Amanda Mabo says they have been getting inquiries already about the angle tree and when the angels will be available. “The community has been overwhelming with their support,� she says. “It’s really a benefit to area.� “We are certain that this yar’s goal will be met as it has in past years,� Whiting stated, and added that the angel card should also be attached to the gift and that the gift contents are

and Family Services, who in turn, will ensure children/youth that have been brought to their attention have an appropriate gift at Christmas,� Whiting wrote. “We thank everyone for participating.�

Gord Brown encourages donations for typhoon relief of the typhoon.

On Saturday Minister Paradis announced that Canada will provide up to $5 million in support to humanitarian organizations striving to meet the needs of the people affected by this typhoon in the Philippines and surrounding regions. On Sunday he announced the further matching funds. Emergency relief activities will include the provision of emergency shelter, food, water, livelihood support, and other essential services.

“Canada is deeply concerned by the impact of this catastrophic typhoon,”

said Minister Paradis. “We continue to monitor the situation closely and are working with Canadian and international humanitarian partners to determine what assistance is required.”

The situation related to Typhoon Haiyan is evolving rapidly. The strongest typhoon this year, it slammed into the Philippines on Friday, Nov. 8 setting off landslides, knocking out power in several provinces, and cutting communications in the country’s central region of island provinces.

The typhoon was expected to track toward

Vietnam, where it was expected to make landfall on Nov. 10. Significant loss of life, a large number of injuries, as well as destruction of property, have been reported.

Nearly 4.3 million people are reportedly affected, and although needs assessments are ongoing, humanitarian needs are expected to be substantial.

“In addition to the support announced today, Canada has provided support through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to provide immediate assistance to those affected

by Typhoon Haiyan,” said Minister Paradis.

According to its website, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has been working with the Philippine Red Cross as it prepared rapid response teams and supplies for those worst affected by the storm.

Search and rescue teams are on standby and emergency supplies of blankets, sleeping mats, hygiene kits and water carriers have been sent from stores in Manila to a warehouse in Cebu ready for distribution in the coming days.

Municipalities are required to submit response time plans to the Ministry of Health and Long- Time Care (MOHLTC)

Build a Mountain of Food campaign organizer is roasted for his cause laurie.weir@metroland.com

Community – Hugh Colton didn’t mind getting a rump roast for his food cause, even if it was his own.

A full house of well-wishers, supporters and friends were on hand Thursday, Nov. 7 at the Perth Civitan Club as the community roasted Hugh Colton, the founder of the Build a Mountain of Food campaign.

“I didn’t mind being roasted for a good cause,” Colton said. “I finally got my hockey pads off… I’m well done.”

Ken Fournier of the Civitan wanted to roast him, and had approached him in the spring about it.

“I was fine with it because of what it was for,” he said.

“There were a lot of people I haven’t seen for quite some time.”

Colton was brought to tears, both of sadness and in jest, as his roasters jumped in, no holds barred. They spoke of his humble beginnings in radio to his farreaching community support with this Build a Mountain of Food campaign.

There was a lot of family history brought to the forefront during the roast, and Colton was hit with an emotional gamut. From his early days in radio, to losing his parents at a young age, to his sailor suits and wild partying days, and on to his focus and outreach with the food campaign, there was a common thread – community.

Colton said he learned about the importance of community support from the likes of Hal Botham and Max Keeping.

“Hal was a community guy. And I know Max Keeping fairly well and when Max came to this community at 19 years old and knew that if I was going to get people watching, I had to get out and meet people.

I mean, he was the best… in his early days, he would go out seven days a week.

He spent a lot of time in the community, doing a lot of great things.”

But why the food bank?

“The first passion would be kids. I have a really tough time watching kids go hungry. I like to eat. I can’t stomach a kid or someone not having enough to eat.

It shouldn’t be happening.

Kids going three or four days on nothing… it’s just not right.”

It’s not that people who are going without food are doing anything wrong, Colton said, “Situations change on a regular basis. There are working poor who are doing the best they can and still can’t get through a month.

I believe the community at

large understands that and through the awareness of the program, boy they keep coming. We don’t set goals with this. We basically say, ‘OK, let’s hit the road and do the best that we can,’ and what’s happened, is every year it has continued to grow.”

From the first year, when they went from one town – Perth – collecting about 3,000 pounds for one food bank, has grown now to 11 towns and villages in eastern Ontario, and that’s stretching the limit. Last year’s total broke a record – something the campaign has been doing on an annual basis – with 200,000 pounds of food collected and more than $100,000 in cash.

“This community has always come through…they know the importance of the cause,” Colton said.

Not only with the campaign be in your neighbourhood collecting donations, but there will be three Santa Claus parades where Colton and his elves will be collecting food donations. Those dates are Nov. 23 in Smiths Falls (it’s a night parade, but details are unavailable at this time), Carleton Place on the Nov. 30, 7:30 p.m. and Perth is on Dec. 7, at 5 p.m.

Coming your way The Build a Mountain of Food campaign will be in the following communities: • Saturday, Nov. 16: Perth at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer, Foodsmiths, and Giant Tiger, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Lanark at 49 George St. Collecting for The Table Community Food Centre and Lanark Highlands Food Pantry.

• Saturday, Nov. 23: Smiths Falls at Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, Food Basics, Giant Tiger, and Garden Market, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Collecting for Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.

• Saturday, Nov. 30: Westport at Food Market, from 9 a.m. to noon, and Elgin at Gordanier Fresh Mart, 1 to 4 p.m. Collecting for Westport and Elgin Food Banks.

• Saturday, Dec. 7: Portland at Food Market, 9 a.m. to noon, and Merrickville at Food Market, 1 to 4 p.m.

Collecting for Portland Food Bank and Merrickville Emergency Food Cupboard.

• Saturday, Dec. 14: Athens at the Fresh Mart, 9 a.m. to noon, and Delta, at Country Market, 1 to 4 p.m. Collecting for Athens Ministerial Food Bank and Delta Food Bank.

“We’re going to cross our fingers and hit the bricks,” Colton said, “and hopefully, we can fill all those food bank shelves.”

Eighth annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour set for Dec. 7 and 8 “It really is a big success story,” Boyer said.

Those funds go to the organization’s education awards, fund literacy projects and to assist local libraries.

“The money all goes back to the community and the focus is really on education, that’s one of CFUW Canada’s mandates,” said Hickey.

The Perth chapter of the CFUW is a non-profit organization of women university graduates dedicated to raising the social, economic and legal status of women. It currently has more than 100 members.

One of the most unique aspects of the event is that each home on the tour is paired with a business or designer who is responsible for decorating the space for the season. One house will feature gingerbread men and hot cider courtesy of The Sunflower Bake Shop and Barnabe’s Independent Grocer, while others will have live local music.

Community – Jane Hackett opens the door to her stately red brick home at 27 D’Arcy Street in Perth and welcomes her visitors inside.

Once indoors, it’s hard to know where to look first: the winding staircase, bold and vibrant works of art and European antiques in the sitting and dining room or the expansive palladium windows which let sunlight stream into the cozy living area.

She has owned the heritage home since 2005 and come Dec. 7 and 8, it will be one of eight houses featured on the Perth chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women’s (CFUW) eighth annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour.

According to Hackett, the CFUW had been trying to get her to include her home in the event for years.

“Jackie (Boyer, chair of the tour and CFUW vice-president) asked me back in April and she was very persuasive,” Hackett remarked. “The tour has a good reputation and it’s an opportunity for me to contribute to the community a little bit.”

The home was built in 1880 and has had several additions, but Hackett’s decorating style of predominantly French and Italian antiques, sprinkled with Canadiana, as well as contemporary Canadian art (by Donna Lund and Gordon Harrison to name a few), can be seen throughout the space. The intimate kitchen is bright and cheery, accented by white cupboards and a fireplace.

The house sponsor for this home on the tour is Decorating by Design and it will be decorated by Apropos Flowers).

The final touches are currently being put on the tour, which includes a mix of modern and heritage homes. “When looking for houses, we look to have older houses because they attract a lot of interest but also have started to include some newer homes because there are some really unique new homes in town as well,” explained Karen Hickey, member of the CFUW house

“With newer homes, there has to be something different about them, something unique,” added Boyer.

Hickey noted that it takes a large team of volunteers to bring the tour together, which kicks off planning in January. She said the community and its businesses have also been very supportive, as well as the homeowners who open the doors to their home and put their trust in tour organizers.

“It takes a village. We couldn’t do this tour if we didn’t have the support of the local community,” she said, adding that last year’s tour had each home sponsored and went a long way to supporting the initiative. “Businesses and all of the grocery stores are R0032315052_1114

involved and they really help us out with in-kind and cash donations.”

“By bringing in the concept of having the houses sponsored last year, it was the first time we were able to self-fund the tour.

All of the proceeds raised from ticket sales went back into the community,” Hickey continued.

Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa is offering special discount rates to visitors and St. James Anglican Church and a selection of local restaurants will have express lunch deals to tour participants.

Each year, the tour brings in more than 600 to 700 visitors and is the biggest annual fundraiser for the CFUW. They have raised more than $90,000 over the last seven years.

Another on 2649 Drummond Concession 2, will have a display on local agriculture and the role it has played.

“We try to have a special feature in each of the houses,” Boyer said.

In addition to the house tour, on Sunday, Dec. 8 only, the CFUW will host a Crafter’s Marketplace in the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa from 10:30 to 4 p.m. Items will be produced

by CFUW members, their families and friends and include Christmas ornaments, jewelry, paintings, pottery, baked goods and books by local authors.

“People can pick up Christmas gifts and James Bartleman and Roy MacSkimming will be there promoting their latest novels,” Boyer stated.

The homes This year’s tour has six heritage homes and two newer ones on display.

“I’m thrilled with the lineup,” said Boyer. “We’ve been very lucky. In the four years I’ve been involved, the house selection has gotten better and better as the tours have gotten better and better.” “...Every house has something really super about it that people will recall and look back on,” she added.

The Waddell House on 61 Drummond Street East (sponsored by Ground Waves Home & Gifts and decorated by the homeowner and Hillside Gardens) was built in 1883 and is designated as a place of historical significance under the Ontario Heritage Act. It has been lovingly restored by the current homeowners and many original features have

been kept or preserved, including an ornate plaster ceiling medallion and curving stairway in the living room.

A welcoming red brick structure awaits visitors to 73 Drummond Street East (sponsored by Finnegan’s Insurance Broker Ltd. and decorated by the homeowner and Gemmell’s Flowers).

Through many renovations by different homeowners the vintage charm of the house has remained. Largely furnished with family heirlooms and antiques, all original trim has been retained. It will be accented by vintage holiday decorations on the tour.

One of the newly-built homes (2006) on the tour is situated at 2855 Scotch Line (sponsored by Kevin James Construction and decorated by Peggy Paul and Unravelled of Merrickville). The homeowners worked closely with the builder to ensure the design was just right and the interior features newer pieces mixed with family heirlooms.

Paintings by local artists and adorn the space. An original stone house at the front of the property has been destroyed but the ruins have been preserved and stabilized by the owners.

The stone home at 2526 Drummond Concession 2, County Road 10 (sponsored by Blair & Son Home Furnishings and to be decorated by Interiors by Judie Cross), was built in 1825 by Thomas James and has evolved through several restoration projects. It was used as a bed and breakfast for 10 years before it became a private home once again in 2007.

Highlights include an exposed brick wall in the kitchen, as well as paintings by local artists.

Thomas Hands built the home at 2649 Drummond Concession 2, County Road 10 (sponsored by Embers and decorated

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

School board raising awareness about mental illness DEAR EDITOR: I am happy to announce that the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) will partner with us on the implementation of the Elephant in the Room Anti-Stigma Campaign, raising awareness about mental illness in the workplace, and in the classroom. The CDSBEO is the first school board in the province of Ontario, to partner with The Mood Disorders Society of Canada on this initiative.

A blue elephant, which will be displayed in schools and board locations, will signify that the CDSBEO cares about the wellness of others, and that the board is a safe place to talk about mental health, without fear of being looked upon differently, thought of less, or punished. The initiative will help to build understanding around mental health issues, and to build a Board culture of empathy and support.

Mental health and illness have for too long lived under false knowledge and misconceptions, and sadly the stigma that clouds mood disorders often prevents persons who may have mental health issues from

seeking treatment for their conditions.

Many people fear what ‘others will think’ if they publicly acknowledge their health issue and seek treatment. Stigma and discrimination remain the number one concern for the majority of persons living with mental illness and their families because they live with its effects every day.

The CDSBEO is working with Mood Disorders Society of Canada to battle against stigma, raise awareness of mood disorders, and provide those affected by mental illness with a voice.

Through this partnership with the CDSBEO, we are able make a positive impact on the lives of people who suffer with bipolar disorder, depression and other mood disorders.

Phil Upshall National executive director Mood Disorders Society of Canada

COMMENTARY

Try the trades Editorial – While males tend to dominate the trades, the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is trying to change that.

The school board, through its Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), is set to host Living the Skilled Life, an evening to encourage women to see the value in a career in the trades. This can be anything from welding, truck and coach diesel mechanic, to horticulture, plumbing and electrical. It is set to take place Nov. 18 to 22 at University of Guelph, Kemptville Campus.

According to OYAP, there is a big shortage of tradespeople in Ontario in general, whether they are women or not. However, women shouldn’t discount the trades when seeking a post-secondary career as the competitive wages offered can give workers a comfortable lifestyle.

OYAP’s facilitator for UCDSB, Alex MacDougall noted that four out of 10 new jobs over the next 20 years will be in the trades and by the year 2020, the country will be short one million skilled tradespeople, just in Ontario alone. Add to that, 26 per cent of tradespeople will be retiring over the next 10 years.

Kudos to the UCDSB for co-ordinating this event, which will provide female students with hands-on learning experiences from women working in the trades. It gives them a chance to test out their skills at a variety of trades to see if they are cut out for a career as an electrician or mechanic.

The Province of Ontario is also attempting to attract more women to the trades and since 2003 has offered the Women in Skilled Trades and Information Technology Training program. Since that time, more than 2,200 women have been trained through the program and approximately 80 per cent find employment.

Skilled trades aren’t just for men anymore.

Mary’s brothers always argued over hand-me-down box Lifestyle – The station master had called that morning. It didn’t matter what Father had planned for the day, it would have to be put on hold. More important was going into Renfrew and bringing home the hand-me-down box that had arrived from Regina.

When we got home from school, there it was, sitting in the middle of the kitchen …a big square wooden box that at one time had held bulk tea. It was lined with a kind of foil, and until it was opened after supper, there it would sit with its lid nailed shut.

Of course, we didn’t lay a finger on it until after the kitchen had been ‘redded’ up, and our hands washed. I was never sure why we had to wash our hands before we could touch a dirty wood box that had come all the way from Regina on the train!

Finally, we were ready. We sat around the box on kitchen chairs while Everett pried the lid off with a crowbar.

There would be nothing in it but boys clothes, since Aunt Lizzie, the sender of the hand-me-down box had only sons, and there was really nothing in the box

to interest my sister Audrey and me.

So often we chose to sit at the kitchen table looking through Eaton’s catalogue while my three brothers and Mother pawed through the big box of clothes.

Father, of course, showed no interest at all. He was in his usual position in front of the Findlay Oval, half asleep in the rocking chair. But that night, Audrey and I joined the circle as piece after piece of boys’ clothes, along with pants and jackets that had belonged to Uncle Jack, were taken out.

Down in the very bottom was a pair of men’s shiny shoes. Well! Emerson grabbed them before anyone else had a chance and claimed them as his own.

The brothers had a pair each of well worn laced boots kept for church, and gum rubbers which they wore to school.

Never had any of the three owned a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Everett thought because he was the oldest, they should belong to him. Emerson roared that he saw them first, and said there would be a ‘roary’ eyed fight if Everett tried to claim them.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Mother said.

There was no doubt Emerson was bigger by far than Everett, but Emerson already had his gum rubbers off and cramming his stockinged feet into the shoes. He was getting red in the face, and it didn’t take a genius to see that the shoes were a good inch shorter than Emerson’s enormous feet, but he was going to own them and that’s all there was to it. Before there was any further discussion, he carried the shoes upstairs and put them under the bed he shared with Earl and dared anyone to lay a finger on them!

He never once tried them on all week, but every night he brought them downstairs and rubbed them with an old piece

of long ‘johns’ from the rag bag. “I’ll be wearing those to church on Sunday,” he announced every night.

Well, Sunday came, and after the morning chores, we all got dressed for church. Emerson came downstairs, walking like he had a bag of potatoes under his pants, but wearing the new shoes. Mother asked him why he was walking so funny, and he said he was breaking in the shoes. My sister Audrey said under her breath, “I think the shoes are breaking in him!”

He hobbled into church, hobbled out, and could barely make it back into the house when we got home where he fell into the nearest chair and pulled off the new shiny black shoes. He let out a sigh of relief and then pulled off his socks.

“What happened to your toes?” I asked him.

They were as red as a beet and he had to use his fingers to unbend them.

Everett was ready to claim the shoes when Emerson said he could buy them if he wanted, but he certainly wasn’t getting them for nothing! “They are my shoes, and they stay my shoes until you

pay for them,” Emerson said, rubbing his toes trying to get the cramps out of them.

Well, that’s when Mother entered the fray. She got up from the kitchen table, walked over to where Emerson and the new shiny black shoes were, grabbed them off the floor, and handed them to Everett. She never said a word. She didn’t have to.

Everett slipped off his laced boots, and even with heavy grey work socks, he was able to slip his feet in easily.

They fit him like they had been made for him. Emerson hardly spoke to Everett for three days.

The hand-me-down box never arrived that there wasn’t an argument over who was to get what. Only when the brothers came to blows and were rolling around on the floor, clutching the piece of clothing the fight was over, would Mother call a halt. She could stand just so much of the carry-on, and then she would give each a slap on the side of the head, or a yank on an ear, while Father, sitting in his rocking chair, never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal.

School board hears about rewarding St. Michael Catholic High School trench project

CDSBEO financial statements The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario has reviewed and approved the financial statements for the fiscal period of Sept. 1, 2012 to Aug. 31, 2013.

Rob Clayton, senior audit manager

with KPMG, presented an unqualified auditor’s report to the board of trustees.

Clayton told the board that in KPMG’s opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the CDSBEO as at Aug. 31, 2013. The results of the board’s operations, and changes in its financial position for the year, are in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Director of Education, William J. Gartland, was pleased with the budget outcome.

“The board continues to be diligent in attaining the goals of our strategic plan.

One such goal includes fiscal responsibility, and we strive to maintain this priority as we deliver quality Catholic education to our students. These statements demonstrate that those efforts are producing results,” he stated.

The board has also met the balanced budget compliance obligations for 201213, in accordance with Section 231(1) of

the Education Act, as well as enveloping provisions placed on special education and board administration expenditures.

In addition, 90 per cent of the primary classes in JK to grade 3 had 20 students or less, and 100 per cent of the primary classes had 23 students or less.

Gartland said the finance department worked diligently in preparing the financial statements for the audit committee’s detailed review and for the board’s subsequent review and approval.

Board chair Brent Laton expressed his thanks on behalf of the board. “The report demonstrates that the board continues to maintain financial accountability, and keep our students’ best interests as a priority,” he said. “We recognize the professionalism of our staff which they continuously demonstrate. On behalf of the board of trustees, I thank you for your dedication.”

The 2012-2013 financial statements will be submitted to the Ministry of Education by Nov. CDSBEO will continue

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular board meeting held Nov. 5 at the board office in Kemptville.

The St. Michael Catholic High School (CHS) grade 10 history project, also known as The World War I Trench Project, has helped engage students in Canadian history by providing them with an opportunity to experience history in a real, tangible way. St. Michael CHS teacher, Fred Bortolussi, presented to the board, along with principal Richard James, an overview of the project and the experience it offered to students.

The assignment, for students enrolled in the grade 10 Canadian and World Studies course, began with the filling of 1,500 sandbags. Dug to the exact scale of the trenches on Vimy Ridge along the Western Front, the project required students to design their trench using the same reasoning that was used to keep the soldiers safe during WWI. Over the course of approximately one month, the student partook in a unique, hands-on learning experience, working together as a team toward a common goal. Details such as the construction of duckboards to prevent trench foot, and the preparation of hardtack and bully beef (daily food in the trenches), helped students to make many cross-curricular links throughout this project.

The project evaluated students on their knowledge and understanding of the WWI trench system, including thinking and inquiry skills, as well as communication skills. The final unit summative report, is a journal entry that the students will write, which is to include accounts of the daily life of a soldier. In completing this assignment, students will demonstrate their knowledge of the important battles of the First World War, as well as how trench life impacted soldiers.

Lucas Teed, a grade 10 applied history student, felt that the project was a rich learning experience, particularly considering he is a hands-on learner. “It was really tough work, and we were out there rain or shine. It was just a small taste of what the soldiers would have experienced. It allowed me to make a deeper connection with what I’ve learned in my history course,” he said.

Bortolussi expressed his thanks to the students, and staff at St. Michael CHS for allowing the project to come to fruition. The trenches will be part of the Remembrance Day ceremony at St. Michael CHS. Students and staff will marched through the trenches as part of a tribute to fallen soldiers on Nov. 11.

Bowes Brothers Christmas concerts set for Almonte and Carleton Place

By JEFF MAGUIRE

Community – Audiences in Lanark County and west Quebec are in for a pre-holiday treat when the always popular Bowes Brothers present ‘Home For Christmas’ a series of three concerts featuring some of the most popular songs of the Yuletide season.

The four Bowes brothers and their father Clarence will appear in Almonte, Shawville and Carleton Place beginning with an afternoon performance at the Almonte Arena on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 2:30.

The Carleton Place band, who released their latest compact disc in front of a jam-packed audience of more than 400 at the Almonte Civitan Club in midSeptember, will also perform Christmas music at Shawville Arena in west Quebec Sunday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. The holiday concert series concludes with a 7 p.m. show at the Carleton Place Arena on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Special musical guests for all three performances will be Arlene Quinn, a well-known performer who hails from rural Lanark County and Dave ‘Brownie’ Brown of Carleton Place. The Bowes Brothers and Brown both received acclaim for their performances during the 2013 Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame awards show held at Nepean’s Centrepointe Theatre on Sept. 29.

Backing up the Bowes Brothers will be the North Country Show Band including father Clarence on rhythm guitar, drummer Mark Lemieux from Almonte, Pakenham’s Brad Scott on lead guitar and Matt Brydges of Renfrew on stand-up bass. Lemieux is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.

Tickets for all performances are $15 apiece. They are now available at outlets in all three communities (see the end of this article for complete details).

Almonte’s Charlie Kitts, who was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010 as a builder, will act as master of ceremonies.

“Charlie knows how to introduce people perfectly. He has a great sense of humour and he always sets the scene so well,” says Carleton Place concert promoter Bob White who has been recruited to assist with the series.

“The concerts will feature lots of old Christmas favourites. But there will be just enough other music to keep everyone happy,” White observes.

A true “Band of Brothers” the foursome remains true to their roots. The Bowes boys were born, raised and still live in and around their hometown of Carleton Place. Many of their songs are written by oldest brother Ed while younger brothers Rod, John and Andy all take turns on lead vocals. Influenced by some of the greats of the country music industry, the band features outstanding four-part harmony. Youngest brother Andy is also well known for his yodeling ability.

Popular group The Bowes Brothers have become one of the most popular bands in the Ottawa Valley and Eastern Ontario. They also have a sizeable following in the Maritimes where they have performed numerous times. In 2010 they were featured at the world famous Calgary Stampede. The Bowes Brothers have earned a place on stage with some of the greats of the industry opening for such major musical figures as Ricky Skaggs, Terri Clark, Michelle Wright, George Canyon, Paul Brandt, Ronnie Prophet, Charlie Major and the late, great Stompin’ Tom Connors.

“For these shows we will be doing 75 per cent Christmas music,” says band spokesman John Bowes. In 2006 the brothers released a holiday CD, one of five recordings they have made, which

is entitled ‘Home For Christmas’.

Their latest recording ‘Strictly Statler’, in which they cover many of the hit songs of the ever popular Statler Brothers including such favourites as Flowers on the Wall and Bed of Roses, is selling very well. It was released in Almonte Sept. 13. The Statlers disbanded in 2002 but their music remains timeless!

As for the upcoming Christmas series, White advises interested music fans to get their tickets early. “These will be fun concerts. The crowd loves this kind of show. They (concerts) are going to be extremely popular,” he stresses.

John Bowes says the proceeds from all three performances will go back to the communities involved.

“The Almonte show is in support of the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County. The Shawville and Carleton Place shows will support the Pontiac Hospital Centre and the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation,” he outlines.

“All of these organizations are so important to their communities. So during a time of giving this is our way of giving back,” Bowes states.

In the past the Bowes Brothers did four performances for the Carleton Place hospital raising just under $30,000.

Bowes credits one of his two partners in the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, Wayne Bennett, for proposing that very successful concert series. The Barker Funeral Home has been a major sponsor of similar productions for years. Their involvement has led others in the community to join the effort.

“Without all of our sponsors we couldn’t do what we do,” Bowes observes. “We sincerely thank all of them for their support.

“We also thank the people of the communities involved for rallying to support these good causes.”

Tickets for the afternoon presenta-

tion at the Almonte Arena on Sunday, Nov. 24 can be purchased at Keepsakes Gifts and Flowers in Almonte, at Nicholson’s Sundries in Pakenham or Gemmill’s Store in Clayton. Tickets can also be purchased by calling the Alzheimer Foundation of Lanark County office in Perth at 613-264-0307.

Tickets for the evening performance in Carleton Place on Sunday, Dec. 8 can be purchased at SRC Music in Carleton Place, the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation office at Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital or at the Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave., Carleton Place.

Anyone interested in the Shawville presentation on Sunday, Dec. 1 should visit Murray’s Sporting Goods in

Shawville or telephone Jim Hodgins at 819-647-6563.

Snacks and refreshments will be available during all three productions.

Tickets are general admission and the doors will open one hour before the shows are scheduled to begin!

John Bowes says he along with his three brothers and their father are really looking forward to the Carleton Place and Almonte shows.

“This is our home. This is where we got started. We love performing for our hometown crowds.”

by Merrickville-Wolford mayor Doug Struthers and Reeve of the Township of Montague, Bill Dobson.

“This provides a unique partnership between the counties and different sectors who care about food,”

says Struthers.

“We have an opportunity to potentially influence change in the food system at a community level,” adds Dobson.

A Food Charter can help strengthen the local economy, support local producers, promote environmental conservation and improve the health and well-being of residents. foodcoreLGL is seeking input from community members. foodcoreLGL is currently gathering feedback on the initial draft of the charter. There is an online survey that can be found at www.foodcoreLGL. ca, or contact foodcoreLGL for a hard copy.

The elephants signify that the CDSBEO cares about the wellness of others, and that the board is a safe place to talk about mental health, without fear of being looked upon differently, thought of less, or punished. The initiative will help to build understanding around mental health issues, and to build a board culture of empathy and support.

The adoption of this campaign supports a larger, ongoing board-wide mental health initiative, which has fulfilled various stages of implementation since 2011. The board has developed, and is committed to building student resiliency through a strength-based approach, and a Continuum of Support with key prevention, targeted intervention and specialized supports. Resiliency surveys were introduced last year, which were completed by all students from grades 3 to 12, to gain insight into the board, school, and individual profiles, to recognize student strengths and to address students at-risk.

The CCAC was part of the PA day, presenting on their role as a community partner. The CCAC aims to assist children, youth, and their families through support services to prevent and reduce the personal, social and economic costs of mental health and addictions problems. Their role is to provide additional specialized supports for building resiliency and positive mental health. One of the deliverables for the provincial action plan on mental health includes the Mental Health and Addictions Nurses (MHAN) in district school boards program. Two nurses have been dedicated by the Champlain CCAC under this program, to complement the existing school and community support network in the CDSBEO. Primarily, the concerns which are being addressed by the MHANs include: assisting students in transitioning from mental health and addictions care back to school, managing and supporting school attendance for those experiencing mental health and addictions problems, and assisting with mental health and addiction literacy for school staff.

Diane Buckner addresses UCDSB summit about important trends

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Starting Nov. 10, the public can help support Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Donation boxes for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Nov. 30.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has provided more than 730 professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired from coast to coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We very much appreciate the support of LCBO through their donation box program, and especially their customers for donating during the campaign,â&#x20AC;? says Steven Doucette, spokesperson for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind receives no government funding, so initiatives like this are extremely important in our mandate of providing guide dogs to visually impaired Canadians.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a good neighbour, LCBO is pleased to partner with Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind and support a variety of worthy causes,â&#x20AC;? says LCBO president and chief executive officer, Bob Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the generosity of LCBO customers and staff, we help improve the lives of countless Ontarians and make a difference where we live and work.â&#x20AC;?

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is one of 28 provincial and numerous local charities that will benefit from LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s province-wide donation box program in 2013. In 2012, LCBO raised a total of more than $6.6 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $6.1 million was raised through in-store fundraising. In addition, LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario government, which totaled $1.7 billion in fiscal 2012-13, excluding taxes, supports a wide range of important government programs, services and priorities, including health care and education.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind thanks the public for its support when shopping at their local LCBO store from Nov. 10 to 30.

She told the audience about one company that has designed a fundraising program called Wealthy School Revolution. The product not only provides software to aid fundraising campaigns, but features items people will buy anyway from garbage bags to groceries.

Authenticity is also a trend teachers must be aware of. Consumers are more critical of company and individual claims than they were in past. If a company promotes its food as grown within 100 miles of a supermarket, consumers will test the claim and keep them honest.

People will no longer support companies that misrepresent their products.

To demonstrate authenticity, she played a preview from an upcoming Dragons episode featuring a group of atrisk kids who grow their own ingredients through a market garden to create salad

To be sure you keep your tax bill as low as possible, tax and financial planning should be a year-round activity.

But even now, as the time to file your 2013 tax return approaches, there are certain steps you can take to reduce your next tax hit.

Capital gains and losses Sell money-losing investments by the December 31 settlement date to offset capital gains. If you plan to repurchase the assets you sold at a loss, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall afoul of the superficial loss rules which will remove any tax advantage if you repurchase an identical capital property within 30 days after having disposed of it.

RRSP contributions The contribution deadline for 2013 is March 3, 2014.

RRSP contribution room can be carried forward indefinitely and you may want to consider deferring a deduction to a future year when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in a higher tax bracket.

RRSP withdrawals If you intend to withdraw cash from your investments held within an RRSP and expect your income to increase significantly next year, consider making the withdrawal before year end. If you turn 71 this year and are required to wind up your RRSPs before December 31, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax-advantageous to transfer the funds to investments held within a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) or annuity.

dressings sold at area stores. A portion of the proceeds from their sales goes into a scholarship fund.

Mobility is also an important trend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the use of mobile devices in our lives.

She notes that three quarters of all Canadians now have devices such as iPads and smart phones. Newspapers such as La Presse are restricting production to mobile apps. She suggested schools find ways to use devices in the classroom because this is the world in which students live.

Other trends she discussed were: the concern for health and the drive to find products that will enhance health and extend life; the prevalence of social media and how people use it to monitor conversations about them, and customization â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the demand for specific products ranging from single-song iPod downloads to spe-

cialized coffee.

Mhairi Rowland, a principal at Cambridge Public School, said she enjoyed the presentation because the UCDSB was taking action in many ways already to meet these trends. The board is using educational apps in the classroom in exercises ranging from math to music, is on social media, and is encouraging the use of mobile devices in student learning.

In other summit news, director David K. Thomas held a news conference to discuss the summit and promote a unique partnership between the UCDSB and Palliser Regional Schools in Lethbridge, Alberta. The boards will work together to share best practices in order to increase efficiency and student engagement.

Year-end tax reminders and tips

Manage Your Money can also continue to make contributions for your spouse until he or she turns 71.

Income-splitting Save on taxes by contributing to investments held within a spousal RRSP, through a pension-income split with a spouse, or by paying a salary to other (eligible) family members.

Home Buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Plan (HPB) By delaying a withdrawal from your investments held within an RRSP under HBP until after December 31, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll extend the time period for purchasing a new home and for the first repayment by an additional year.

Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) If your child is turning 15 this year and you want to ensure he or she will be eligible for the Canadian Education Savings Grant (CESG) in the years the child turns 16 and 17, by the end of the year you must be able to show that you contributed at least $2,000 to their investments held within an RESP (with zero withdrawals) or you contributed at least $100 for you child in any four year period (again, with zero withdrawals).

Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) Make a $5,500 contribution to your

investments held with a TFSA. The contribution isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tax deductible but the money and interest earned inside your TFSA are tax-free and so are withdrawals, which can be made at any time for any purpose.

Tax Deductions and Tax Credit Take full advantage of all that are available to you and make sure the items you claim were paid in the year they are claimed.

These are just a few opportunities for year-end tax savings. Talk to your professional advisor to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not missing out on others.

LCBO stores raise funds for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind this month

While she was hesitant to tell teachers how they should specifically adapt their practices, her goal was to have them reflect on how these trends are affecting society and how they might adapt their practices to improve student learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to get ideas percolating in your minds about innovation and trending and how they can influence you and how you can find ways to do things better â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or justify what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing now,â&#x20AC;? she told a crowded gymnasium.

Gamification is the trend in society of people not just playing videogames, but learning with them, said Buckner. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have said that gaming helps develop a number of life skills including: persistence, attention to detail, problem solving, and risk taking, she said.

There are several businesses that have developed educational software to aid learning. Buckner showed a clip from Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Den in which two men from Waterloo University â&#x20AC;&#x153;pitchedâ&#x20AC;? a math game which measures stress levels of players through wrist monitors and then adapts the difficulty of the questions accordingly. The correct answer rewards a player or â&#x20AC;&#x153;wizardâ&#x20AC;? in the game by allowing them to â&#x20AC;&#x153;cast a spell.â&#x20AC;? Buckner said she knows of one teacher who uses the game in his classroom with a student who had attendance problems. The student now arrives on time and is rewarded by getting to play the game.

Another trend she spoke of was innovation or people finding ways to â&#x20AC;&#x153;think outside the box.â&#x20AC;? Businessmen are constantly seeking different ways to find new solutions to problems in designing products for the market.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A nationally recognized business reporter told delegates to the 2013 Small School Summit Oct. 24 about trends in society they must be aware of and urged them to adapt their teaching style to meet them.

Dianne Buckner, host of the CBC television hit Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Den, gave a presentation to about 290 delegates entitled Seven Powerful Trends You Should Know About. The summit, entitled Innovate Now!, is designed to teach staff with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) about innovative teaching practices to increase student engagement and results. Organizers are offering seminars on everything from yoga to teaching â&#x20AC;&#x153;real math.â&#x20AC;? The conference took place Oct. 24 and 25 at the Nav Centre.

The CBC business reporter said major trends that affect the way we now live, learn and relate are: gamification, customization, high-tech health, innovation, social media, mobility, and authenticity.

Health unit develops new diseases toolkit Community – Every year many people in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville become ill with a communicable disease such as: Influenza, Lyme, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Hepatitis C and Measles. Rapid access to information about key symptoms, laboratory testing and treatment can help health care providers provide the best possible care.

The health unit has developed a new online resource to assist health care providers: http://www.healthunit.org/professionals/rd_toolkit/Reportable_Diseases.pdf.

A simple click on any disease in the toolkit will take the user to an information page that includes: reporting requirements, epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis and testing, treatment (under the direction of the health care provider) and case management, a patient fact sheet and additional resources with links attached. A QR (quick recognition) code allows the user to scan the information to a smartphone, iPad, or tablet.

The 68 communicable diseases included in the reportable diseases toolkit are specified as reportable under the authority of the Health Protection and Promotion Act. This means that when patients are diagnosed with one of these diseases, their health care provider must report it to the health unit. The health unit uses this information to track trends in the community.

“This new reportable diseases toolkit is a one-stop reference page for easy access to communicable disease information,” says Dr. Paula Stewart, Medical Officer of Health of the health unit.

For more information, call 1-800660-5853 or visit www.healthunit.org.

Arts – One of the craziest, most entertaining, truly laugh-out-loud forms of theatre in the world is coming to Perth just in time for Christmas. And it’s possible you’ve never even heard of it.

When people in these parts hear the word “pantomime” they’re likely to imagine a silent artist like Marcel Marceau, acting out a story without props, sound or speech. But if that’s what you think a pantomime is, the Studio Theatre is eager to set you straight with their production of Norman Robbins’ The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose.

A traditional English pantomime is a theatrical force of nature: slapstick comedy, wild costumes, cockney slang, endless puns and one-liners, heroes, villains, dancing, singing, and at least one man dressed as a woman, all loosely based on a well known fairy tale, and usually staged at Christmas time. In other words, it’s pure family entertainment.

As an audience member you’ll yell to the actors on cue, sing along with favourite songs, and generally become part of the fun. And like any good family show, this pantomime will captivate kids (as young as four) with music, colour and craziness, while making the older folk convulse with laughter. A quick sampling of dialogue from The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose: Mother Goose: Do you think there should be clubs for women like me?

Evil Squire Creep: Oh yes (to the audience)...big heavy ones!

Mother Goose: I’ve heard rumours that you’ve been telling everyone in the village I’m a flea-bitten, addle-pated, knock-kneed, cross-eyed nincompoop.

Of course the Canadian wine industry is also on the upswing. The Niagara Region and areas of southern British Columbia, in particular, are becoming more and more prominent, especially in terms of the quality of their wines.

Of course we are not among the world’s big players. Canada’s population is too small. In 2011 we were listed 31st and 42nd in the world in terms of the volume of wine produced on two websites I read before writing this week’s column. The world numbers in general are inconsistent by the way.

Evidently there is some jockeying between France and Italy in terms of which country tops the annual wine production list globally.

Based on what I have discovered it is between those two countries.

Sometimes Italy comes out on top and other years it is France. Most recently Italy, which is responsible for making approximately one-fifth of the world’s wine supply, appears to be the leader.

The Top 10 wine producing nations is consistent but the order is not. Spain, Argentina and the United States are among the leaders. Germany is ranked as high as fourth on some lists, but never lower than 10th. Also among the leaders are China, South Africa, Australia and Chile. There is a difference between the amount of grapes grown and the volume of wine produced. Obviously other products, including nonalcoholic juice, are manufactured using grapes.

Lifestyle – Our travels this fall took us to two of the Top 10 wine producing nations in the world. For the first time in our lives we were in Europe at the height of the grape harvest. What an interesting experience it was!

Before offering some details of what we saw in France and Germany in October I will write a little about how much access to wines from around the world has improved in this country.

At one time in Canada, or certainly in Ontario at least, it was difficult to be a “wine connoisseur”.

That’s because the availability of the world’s best wines was limited.

I can remember the days when the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) had small outlets and in most communities customers had no direct access to any of the products they sold. Instead you went to the local LCBO and studied a list of the available products which was inscribed on tablets above a counter containing pads and pencils. You then had to write down the number(s) which corresponded with what you wanted to purchase (wine or spirits) and hand that to a clerk.

In turn the employee would disappear into the storeroom at the back of the outlet, retrieve the items you selected and then ring them up at the cash register.

There was no opportunity to pick up and study the available bottles of wine or liquor and decide what appealed to you.

Talk to anyone who grew up in the 1950s, ‘60s or ‘70s and I’m sure they will laugh when you talk to them about the sequence which unfolded when we went to the liquor store.

When it came to wine, for example, the majority of people had no idea what to look for and therefore it was a crap shoot, so to speak.

You would buy a particular product and hope for the best. No Internet information to fall back on in those days!

As a result most people didn’t have a clue about which wines were good and which were bad. Little wonder most folks’ early experience with wine in Ontario included products such as ‘Baby Duck’, ‘Baby Bear’ or some other “cuddly sounding” product.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not knocking items that were once the toast of the Canadian wine industry. But at the time a lot of what was available here was fizzy, sweet tipple that I think was made in hopes of imitating Mateus, a rosé from Portugal. Mateus by the way was first manufactured in 1942 and is still available, in red and white versions.

I think it’s safe to say that years ago it was difficult to have an appreciation for good wine because most of us simply weren’t exposed to the best.

My, how times have changed!

The LCBO is now the biggest importer of wine and spirits in the world. Yes, No. 1 on the planet! Canadians in general have unlimited access to wine and interest has never been higher. Now many Canadians are focused on vintage product which simply wasn’t available previously.

tle of the white wine. It was a 2007 and cost us all of €5 (about $8 CDN). At a Canadian winery we would have shelled out more than twice that much. Our bottle disappeared so fast at the family Thanksgiving celebration that I barely had a taste!

Later that day, in the same area, we stopped to watch foreign workers harvest grapes on a hillside.

The ruins of what was once a small chapel stood nearby.

I took many photographs of the operation. On reflection they look like they could have been shot 50 years ago. The fall grape harvest in the Alsace continues the same way it has for centuries.

The situation in Germany is virtually identical.

The only difference is the Black Forest is more picturesque.

Germany is undoubtedly most famous for its beer.

But the wine produced in the Baden region is, as they say in Germany, “wunderbar” (wonderful).

The magical village of Gengenbach where we stayed for eight days is surrounded by vineyards.

The local “Gengenbacher” wines are superb. I prefer red wine and I particularly enjoyed their “Spätburgunder Rotwein” (red wine made from pinot noir grapes). In fact I enjoyed it every day we were there. I also like their prices. You can buy a 750 millilitre bottle of wine in Germany for as little as €3 ($4.80 CDN). And that’s for a four or five-year-old vintage!

Not surprisingly the amount and the variety of wine (including many bottle sizes) available in supermarkets in Germany and France is vast. Without the intrusion of constant government tax hikes the prices are low.

Obviously drinking responsibly is very important and, despite more liberal attitudes toward alcohol in Europe, binge drinking remains a serious problem.

Wine is meant to be savoured and enjoyed in moderation. We did just that during our latest European adventure. For me, witnessing the grape harvest there was a major highlight.

Bill to promote local food passes final vote News – Ontario is moving forward to help promote the good things that are grown, harvested and processed in Ontario with the passage of the Local Food Act, 2013 on Nov. 5.

The new legislation is part of a strategy to build Ontario’s economy by making more local food available in markets, schools, cafeterias, grocery stores and restaurants. This will create jobs and expand the province’s agri-food sector.

“The Local Food Act will benefit people by making the connection between buying local and helping grow an important Ontario industry,” stated Ontario Premier and Minister of Agriculture and Food, Kathleen Wynne.

“If we increase demand to homegrown food, we will create jobs and boost the agri-food

sector’s contributions to our economy. It’s an important and historic step forward and I thank everyone who helped support this legislation.”

The new legislation – the first of its kind in Canada – will increase local food awareness and boost sales by setting local food goals and targets in consultation with sector partners.

The act will also create a non-refundable tax credit of 25 per cent for farmers who donate their surplus harvest to eligible community food programs such as food banks, and proclaim a Local Food Week that will take place annually, beginning the first Monday in June.

Building a stronger agrifood industry is part of the government’s economic plan to support a dynamic and innovate business climate, invest

vegetables, livestock, dairy, poultry, grains and oilseeds.

Food processors in Ontario purchase about two-thirds of the food that is produced on the province’s farms.

Ontario’s Local Food Fund is part of a $30 million investment from the province to create jobs and support innovative local food projects over the next three years.

“By raising the profile of local food, the Local Food Act will provide Ontario food and beverage processors with an opportunity to further develop local food systems and market development strategies,” said Steve Peters of the Alliance of Ontario Food Processors.

“Ontario consumers are demanding high quality food and drink and our processors are willing and able to deliver,” he added.

in people and invest in agriculture.

“The Local Food Act will serve as a constant reminder of the bounty of Ontario. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is happy to see that it will target food literacy, local food use and will help farmers attend to the needs of others through a community food donation tax credit,” said the Ontario Federation of Agriculture’s Mark Wales.

The Local Food Act will also require the government to produce an annual local food report on its activities to support local food.

The province’s agri-food sector contributes approximately $34 billion to the economy and supports more than 740,000 jobs across Ontario; while farmers produce more than 200 commodities, including fruits,

Columnist offers advice on four-wheeling and keeping distractions off the road

As far as the differing opinions youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting regarding four-wheel drive usage it boils down to: a little from column A and a little from column B. Most light duty trucks no longer have a solid front axle but a differential with flexible CV (constant velocity joint) style front axle shafts similar to those used on front-wheel drive autos. These reduce much of the driveline harshness that plagued traditional solid axle units.

If you engage your truck in 4WD and then try to take a tight corner, you will feel some jerky resistance in the steering as the speed of the inside road wheel over-takes the speed of the driveshaft.

This is what can damage 4WD components if done regularly over a period of time. But your truck should easily make wider turns in 4WD without a problem, no matter what type of surface itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rolling on. Therefore itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad idea to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;exerciseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the system once a month or so, on a portion of your regular commute without sharp turns. Keep in mind this does have a negative effect on fuel economy. A 10 or 15-minute drive should suffice. If your 4WD system has a low range, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest trying that out monthly but only for a few yards at low speeds.

Distracted driving Ford of Canada recently commissioned a survey on distracted driving habits and the results arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t promising. The poll was completed by Leger from Aug. 9-16 involving a total of 528 young drivers (16-19 years of age) and 528 parents who have a teen driver in their family.

According to the results: â&#x20AC;˘ 93 per cent of teens and 97 per cent of parents admit to distracted driving even though they know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dangerous, â&#x20AC;˘ 72 per cent of teens and 67 per cent of parents use hand-held technology, such as texting and talking on the phone, while behind the wheel. â&#x20AC;˘ In Ontario, 73 per cent of teens and 62 per cent of parents admitted to using hand-held technology while behind the wheel.

The only promising note was that one in five teens and parent (20 per cent) report they are using voice-activated, handsfree technologies most or all of the time over a handheld device. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to be aware of the dangers of distracted driving and help them develop safer driving habits,â&#x20AC;? said Dianne Craig, president and CEO, Ford of Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ford is deeply committed to driver safety. Technologies such as MyKeyÂŽ and Ford SYNCÂŽ have important roles to play in limiting distractions and helping to change behaviours.â&#x20AC;?

The available Ford MyKeyÂŽ system features a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do Not Disturbâ&#x20AC;? function which blocks incoming calls and deters text messages. Calls are diverted to voicemail and text messages are saved on the device for later viewing. MyKeyÂŽ also has the ability to set a maximum speed level, limit the volume on the sound system, and disable the sound system altogether until seatbelts are buckled. More auto makers should be of-

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Mr. Turner, I always enjoy reading your column and advice.

I wonder if you would kindly provide some guidance regarding the use of four wheel drive vehicles.

I am an owner of a new 2013 GMC Sierra pick-up equipped with electronic 4 wheel drive control. I am told, and I read, that the 4 wheel drive should not be used unless driving on gravel roads or uneven terrain. Others say there is no ill effect driving 4 wheels anytime no matter the road conditions.

With winter approaching, any advice you can provide would be appreciated for driving in snow or wet road conditions then for dry summer road conditions. Would you also explain the effect, if any, using 4 wheel drive could have on the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transfer case in certain road conditions and is there a need to exercise the 4 wheel drive train from time to time.

Thank you so much, I look forward to your kind reply and advice.â&#x20AC;?

Best regards, Vince

PITTMAN, Ellwood – In loving memory of my dear husband who passed away November 12, 2012 I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine, I remember the day God took you, And will til the end of time.

And when I’m sad and lonely And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on”.

Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again someday”.

I miss you each and every day, Love Hilda ~ In loving memory of our dear Dad and Poppa.

Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, It’s the heartache of losing you, That will never go away.

GRAY, William C. (Bill) – In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away so suddenly and unexpectedly Nov. 13, 2010.

Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartaches When someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that loved you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you Is the hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone We could always count on you.

The special years will not return When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever.

Forever loved and dearly missed Pat and families

How will you spend your extra hour?

Lifestyle – Now that clocks have fallen back and Canadians have the rare luxury of an extra hour, people across the country will be deciding how they will spend their precious gift of time.

A Standard Life Value of an Hour Survey conducted for Big Brothers Big Sisters shows how busy Canadians actually are and what they would do if they had an extra hour each week. Consider how your time preferences compare.

Standard Life Value of an Hour survey findings: • One in five Canadians (15 per cent) are so time deprived they would use their extra hour to sleep • One in three (33 per cent) would strengthen personal relationships by spending time with family and friends • Nearly two in ten (17 per cent) would focus on their health by exercising • More than one in ten (13 per cent) would finish household errands • One in ten (11 per cent) would pursue personal interests and hobbies • Less than one in ten (six per cent) would devote an extra hour to community service • Only four per cent would spend their extra hour working “The study shows how badly time-stressed Canadians need to make more time for their needs,” says Bruce MacDonald, president and chief executive officer (CEO). of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. “The fact that people have to forgo something as personally enriching as family time or volunteering shows we often pay too high a price for the hectic pace of our lives. Imagine what would happen if everyone could free up even a little time each week to help others. Communities and individuals would be transformed for the better.

The evidence for time as a barrier to volunteering is compelling. The Standard Life survey found that 66 per cent of Canadians would most likely volunteer if their personal schedule was less hectic. Almost two thirds (65 per cent) indicated they were likely to volunteer provided only a small time commitment was

required each week. Almost half (45 per cent) reported that lack of time was the biggest barrier stopping them from working in their communities.

Canadians also know that their busy schedules exact a high toll on their quality of life. Nearly two thirds (62 per cent) agreed that they are so busy that they sometimes think life is passing them by.

“This survey sends a clear message to Canadian charities starved for volunteers: there’s a huge pool of potential volunteers out there provided volunteer opportunities are tailored to busy schedules,” says MacDonald.

“At Big Brothers Big Sisters, for example, we have introduced a range of popular volunteer opportunities, such as in-school mentoring, that involve only one hour a week.”

Few organizations understand the power that volunteering has in bringing people on a path to personal satisfaction and happiness better than Standard Life.

For the past four years, the company has focused much of its community support on inspiring Canadians to become youth mentors through Big Brothers Big Sisters.

When it comes to the personal rewards of volunteering, Canadians get it. Among those polled who currently volunteer, virtually all (99 per cent) rated the experience as either very satisfying (70 per cent) or somewhat satisfying (29 per cent).

“When individuals give of their time to the community, everybody wins. The charities they support benefit. Studies show that people who volunteer are healthier and happier and, as employees, they’re more engaged and more receptive to learning new skills,” says Charles Guay, president and CEO of Standard Life in Canada. “A single hour can change many lives. We hope these survey findings will inspire Canadians to make time to volunteer.”

Methodology The survey was conducted

by Ipsos Reid from Sept. 19 to 24. A sample of 1,011 Canadian adults from Ipsos’ online panel was interviewed. Weighing was employed to ensure the sample’s

composition reflects that of the adult population according to census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. The precision of online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within ± 3.5 percentage points had all Canadians been polled.

About Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada For one hundred years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a positive difference in the lives of Canada’s youth by developing and implementing a wide range of mentoring programs. BBBS volunteer mentors teach by example the importance of giving back, of staying in school, and of respecting family, peers and community.

BBBS provides quality mentoring services for more than 40,000 children and teenagers.

The community-based youth mentoring organization currently has more than 25,000 volunteer mentors working at 118 agencies that serve children in more than 1,000 communities across the country.

Mary Cook’s mother’s chili sauce recipe Lifestyle – Ever since Mary’s column of a couple weeks ago about the popularity of her mother’s chili sauce, we have been deluged with requests for the recipe. It follows, with a few brief comments from Mary herself: “I am happy to share my mother’s recipe for chili sauce. I found the recipe again, and it is dated 1938, so it really is a Depression recipe. It may not differ that much from the recipes of today, but we sure ate it with great gusto back then. There should be plenty of ripe tomatoes at the super markets and at the Farmer’s markets, so they and the onions

THE EMC - 40 - Thursday, November 14, 2013

should still be available. Here then, is the recipe.”

Mary’s mother’s chili sauce: Ingredients: 12 large ripe tomatoes, two large onions, four green peppers, two tablespoons salt, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. ground cloves, 2 1/2 cups white vinegar.

Method: plunge the tomatoes briefly in hot water, so that they can be peeled easily. Peel the onions, and remove the seeds from the green peppers. Chop all of this fine. Stir everything together, and then add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and vinegar.

Cook on low heat, and slowly, for about 50 or 60 minutes (I

think closer to the 60 minutes is better, because you want it thickened). Stir it occasionally while it is cooking. Pour into hot and sterilized jars, and seal tightly.

“Now, that is my mother’s recipe. What wasn’t included in her recipe, but I remember her doing, and I have no idea why she did it – but once the sauce was put in the jars, she turned the jars upside down on the bake table for about a day. This was before storing them on the shelves in the dugout cellar. But when I had to go down into that dark and dank hole to get a jar, they were always upright on the shelf.”

Reverend David Stead and his wife Linda, are embracing their new posting with the First Baptist Church in Smiths Falls along with their three daughters (a photograph of one of the girls can be seen here) When the call came, David says it was during a long drive and the timing didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite fit his own ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was frustrating because it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my timing but His, then again, God does things that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to fall into our plans, but end up being better all the way around,â&#x20AC;? he said.

It was something that both he and Linda knew would come, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d imagine it would be during his middle years and not in his 20s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So he went back to school and earned his bachelor at Waterloo and then went on to do his Master of Divinity at McMaster,â&#x20AC;? said Linda At that time Linda was a registered nurse and together they were raising their young boys.

613.283.7581 THE EMC - SF1 - Thursday, November 14, 2013

Community - The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has historically been the fortunate and grateful recipient of many generous donations over the years. This major donation received from local business, Crain & Schooley Insurance Brokers was welcomed and appreciated.

The donation of $50,000 from the Crain & Schooley Insurance Brokers, a division of Johnson Inc., was given in part to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the local insurance firm.

The donation has been earmarked for the second wave of fundraising of the Smiths Falls Site redevelopment project recently completed at the hospital. Giving is on the minds of many and this donation is a clear example of the philanthropic nature in our communities.

Richard Schooley is presently a member of the PSFDH Board â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am sincerely of Directors and holds the hosappreciative of pital near and dear to his heart.

He is a strong advocate for local the generous services and to ensuring that the delivery of health care remains financial strong in our communities. support...â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of the Perth and BISONETTE Smiths Falls District Hospital, LINDA PRESIDENT AND CEO, PERTH AND I am sincerely appreciative of SMITHS FALLS DISTRICT HOSPITAL the generous financial support provided by this Mr. Schooley and his colleagues,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Bisonette, president and CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The continued generosity of our community never ceases to amaze me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people in our community continue to see that the hospital is truly the heart of our towns and that many people want to ensure healthcare services close to home,â&#x20AC;? stated Richard Schooley, president, Crain & Schooley Insurance Brokers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A donation of time or financial support to your local hospital is a great way to ensure PSFDH stays viable,â&#x20AC;? he added.

The Smiths Falls Site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital recently saw the completion of the significant $43 million redevelopment project. The redevelopment project began the summer of 2008 and was completed in June 2012. Funds will be required to offset the balance of the community share of this major project.

Affecting every area of patient care, the 58,000 square feet of new space and 78,000 square feet of renovated space features larger, brighter Patient Rooms, a redeveloped Emergency Department, a new Surgical Suite with three operating rooms, a new Post Anaesthetic Care unit, a new Intensive Care Unit, a new Obstetrics unit, a new and expanded Ambulatory Care unit, a new Laboratory and Pharmacy as well as a new and expanded Diagnostic Imaging Unit including a CT scanner.

So far the moves have all been positive, and David has been able to keep up with his one other hobby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy hockey, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been blessed with living in a series of great hockey towns,â&#x20AC;? said Stead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The neatest thing about hockey is that anything can happen at any time.â&#x20AC;?

A tall and imposing man, with a strong handshake and direct gaze, his faith gives him the confidence to embrace the unknown with equanimity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to provide stability and to make sure that this church is known for sharing Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word well in the community,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Community - The First Baptist Church is, according to its new pastor a blended church - a blend of traditional and contemporary.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a description which fits Rev. David Stead like a glove.

Originally from Kitchener, Stead grew up with three siblings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the baby and had a good thing going until my baby sister came along, not that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m bitter,â&#x20AC;? he says with the warm chuckle that quickly emerges as his trademark.

Married 30 years, Stead and his wife Linda have five children: two boys who are married, one in Toronto and one in Norway, and three daughters who are still at home. All three girls have been parachuted into area schools midway through the fall term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been so well treated by the education system in this town, all the schools have gone out of their way to make sure that the girls have settled in amazingly well,â&#x20AC;? said David.

No mean feat, considering theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all teenagers, ranging from 13 to 17 years of age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started at Smiths Falls District Collegiate just after Thanksgiving and I was afraid it would be hard to make friends,â&#x20AC;? said 17-year-old Faith Stead, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but everyone was so friendly on the first day.â&#x20AC;?

Then again the same can be said about the young lady, who at the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open house held on Sunday, Nov. 10 was at the door greeting members of the congregation with confidence and a smile.

Passionate about his family the minister admits he loves spending time at home with his wife and children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I married well, Linda is my soul mate and best friend and we spend a lot of time together - weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into gardening and house maintenance,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A quick talk with Linda Stead reveals that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the same page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I married my best friend when I married him and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still my best friend,â&#x20AC;? said Linda.

David hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been a minister although he admits he came to it sooner than he thought or rather it came to him sooner than heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d intended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went straight from high school to an ambulance and emergency care course and worked in that field, but I always knew that God was going to call me sometime and He did.â&#x20AC;?

Clinical reality trauma unit hopes to change teen risk behaviours

BY HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community - A P.A.R.T.Y. is being hosted at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute on Monday, Nov. 18. The Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth program is travelling from the Ottawa Civic campus to SFDCI to introduce Grade 11 students to what they will have to face if they engage in risky behaviours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SFDCI is the first school to participate in the travelling trauma unit as far as I know,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle Morgan, Public Health Nurse, Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Originally the program only dealt with drug and alcohol related consequences, now it encompasses everything including decisions to wear helmets or protective gear when engaging in activities or work that carry risks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also talk about the other distraction, like texting and cell phone use, we talk about drowsiness and emotions, about the distraction of other people in the car,â&#x20AC;? said Barbara Mews, injury prevention coordinator in trauma services at the Ottawa Hospital.

The P.A.R.T.Y. will be setting up a trauma unit at the school, and will have an injury survivor to talk to the kids about his or her experience and recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually the kids come to the hospital but when Michelle called to book a time, we were completely booked up so we chatted a bit about doing an outreach program and that was the incentive to start it,â&#x20AC;? said Mews.

Although the school would have liked to of-

fer the program to every grade 11 student, there are just too many to accommodate, and in the end Morgan and Cathy Pickup, Child and Youth worker at SFDCI, had to make some hard choices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ended up choosing the kids by curriculum rather than a first-come-first-serve set-up,â&#x20AC;? said Pickup.

Although both Morgan and Pickup would have liked to involve the whole school they were concerned about getting the message across. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think it would lose its impact if we had the whole school involved, so we had to limit it,â&#x20AC;? said Pickup.

While there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of information about the impact of P.A.R.T.Y events such as this one, a fairly recent study published in the Journal of TRAUMAÂŽ Injury, Infection, and Critical Care in 2011, endorses the programs effectiveness and suggests that the graphic reality based method of teaching may be a more effective way of reaching teenagers than the traditional class room method, although it cautions that more study is needed on that front. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The P.A.R.T.Y. Program effectively reduced the incidence of traumatic injuries among its youth participants. This effectiveness was stronger among females than males,â&#x20AC;? the study concluded.

Morgan who worked at the Civic Hospital and is familiar with the program believes it can be very effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a big impact and talking to a trauma survivor has a huge impact, especially after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve witnessed the mock trauma,â&#x20AC;? said Morgan.

Generous donation to The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital received a $50,000 donation from Crain & Schooley to be used for the second phase of fundraising for redevelopment at the Smiths Falls site.

News-The regular Committee of the Whole meeting that would normally have been held on Monday Nov. 4 was cancelled because there weren’t enough council members available to form a quorum. Instead two special meetings of council were held on Wednesday, Nov. 6 when there were just enough councilors to form a quorum. Absent were Mayor Dennis Staples, Councillor Shawn Pankow and Councillor Jay Brennan.

Tax extension A tax extension request for a property on Lorne Street was brought to the special committee-of-thewhole by staff.

“It is a normal extension that we’ve entered into in the past and staff recommend that we grant it,” said Kerry Costello, town clerk in a presentation to Council.

The extension was subsequently granted during the special council meeting that followed.

“The owners had asked for a tax extension so they can extinguish their existing tax debt within a year which is a pretty aggressive rate,” explained Coun.

Ken Graham.

Wood Avenue development A bylaw was passed authorizing the execution of a development agreement between the town and the developer to allow the development of Subdivision 36

on Wood Avenue.

The development company that was responsible for the deep storm ditches on Wood Avenue is not expected to continue that practice with the new section of development consisting of approximately 36 units.

“They’ll have to submit a full storm sewer management plan to the Ministry of Environment, and the ministry will issue a certificate of approval before they can start building,” explained Niki McKernan, town planner.

According to McKernan the developer realizes that the ditches were not an ideal solution and that they will need to come up with a better solution.

Solar and Biomass projects at 1 Hershey Drive North Shore Power Group Inc. will be the first company to rent space at 1 Hershey Drive from Tweed Inc. if their FIT 3.0 applications go through. They’re proposing to rent the roof space on all of the existing buildings in addition to proposing a Biomass operation as well.

According to Bruce Linton, chair of Tweed Hershey Drive Enterprises, the idea behind a biomass production facility would be to repurpose some of the building’s current storage and pipe networks as well as use up some of Tweed Inc. ‘s waste products.

“We are in negotiations with North Shore Power Group, but any agreement will be subject to their FIT 3.0 application being accepted,” said Linton.

SAFETY TIPS Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately. Some homes are equipped with electrically connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a battery-operated smoke alarm on every level.

The lands measure approximately 19.7 ha. The lands are currently designated Residential in the Town’s Official Plan and zoned Development in the Town’s Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the current zoning was to act as a placeholder until such time that a subdivision plan was approved for future development.

Lynne Lindsay, who stood by to do ground transportation, should flying not be an option due to weather changes; Louise Shane, one of the PNPC Transport Coordinators who not only coordinated this whole operation – her first one, but also took these amazing photos; volunteer pilot Mark Bett, who with the help of an extra handler, made the trip from North Bay to the Russ Beach Smiths Falls/Montague Airport and helped the owners do a hard thing - give up their dogs. The owner told us as he met her; he gave her a big hug and comforted her as well.

We are so grateful to have volunteers, like Mark, with such big hearts themselves.

And a huge thank you to Mel Young and her family and friends that run Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue. Thank you for letting us assist you in making a new beginning for these noble boys.

on behalf of Max and Bear with the general rescue communities to find a solution.

Although one or two groups had stepped up to help, they soon would become overwhelmed by what would be involved in taking these two older dogs on. But when Melanie Young of Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue heard about them, they made the decision that these two old guys belonged with them and Mel was determined to get the two to safety.

Young contacted PNPC in early October about these guys, requesting a flight from North Bay to the Russ Beach Smiths Falls/ Montague Airport. Because of their poor condition they were not good candidates immediately to make a flight with one of our volunteers. With Young’s help, they received the needed vetting and grooming – everything to ensure they would be healthy enough and comfortable enough for the trip.

Finally the weather improved enough for the flight to go forward and this last weekend, Max and Bear started their southern trek with the help of Pilots N Paws Canada’s volunteer pilot Mark Bett. As you can see from the picture, the boys were handled with the greatest of care and safely delivered to the hands of Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue and the waiting foster family.

We send out our thanks to all the caring volunteers who worked so hard on behalf of Max and Bear along the way - people who did not see two old dogs of no value.

Kudos to: Cheryl Lamb, Lorraine Houston,

News - In rescue there is rarely one hero.

For these two old boys from Northern Ontario, a lot of people became involved.

Ten-year-olds Max and Baby Bear had been outside dogs for most of their lives, with a large space they could enjoy and a family that loved them, when things took a turn for the worse.

A new family had built and moved in next door changing their once open space into a confined hell. No longer could they move about freely but instead had to be chained on their reduced property. To make matters worse, the children in the neighbourhood had started throwing stones at the confined dogs on a regular basis.

The dogs in defence and feeling threatened started to react and bark a lot at people. The barking led to complaints being made against the owner. The owners loved their dogs but could see the situation becoming more and more stressful on the dogs so they reached out for help and advice from others. The local police and a local rescue organization recommended, due to their age and condition, it would be better if they were euthanized - noone would want to adopt one, let alone, two old dogs. Their world had changed and now they could pay the ultimate price for that.

From August, 2013 various Ontario rescue people like Cheryl Lamb, a transport coordinator in Northern Ontario and Lorraine Houston of Speaking of Dogs who, hearing of the dogs’ situation, worked very hard networking

OPINION

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - November 13, 1953

Yesterday morning in St. Andrews Church, there opened one of thirty-five conferences being held throughout Ontario by the Laymen’s Missionary Movement. The purpose of these gatherings is to line up all the men of the various churches to do something in respect of Christian service and especially in respect of giving the gospel to the dark places of the earth. Hitherto it has been an experience of Christian workers generally that a very small proportion of the men of any delegation is to be found in the ranks of the workers. The different excuses given for dereliction of any duty show an ingenuity worthy of a better cause, but the one that counts for most is that some of the work proffered men is not big enough for fellows with red blood in their veins and great purposes in their hearts. The Laymen’s Missionary movement is masking the endeavor to show the men that religion is a man’s job, and that the biggest thing on earth is the evangelization of the millions who have never heard the gospel of the blessed Son of God.

50 YEARS AGO - November 21, 1963 Town Council members went on record Monday night as fully endorsing the question to be placed before the electors on December 2 concerning a five-year fixed assessment for the Hershey Chocolate Company.

Finance chairman R.J. Beach explained that if the voters turned down this request, which had been tentatively agreed-upon during the 1960 negotiations with Hershey, then the town could forget about ever acquiring future industry. The Hershey Company has asked that the ratepayers approve at the polls a request for a Private Bill in the Ontario Legislature which would grant the firm a 50 per cent assessment for five years, exclusive of school grants. Councilor Beach noted that Hershey is getting started in a new market, in a new country with a new product and is being subjected to ruthless competition.

Christmas spending season now begins in earnest

Don Edwards of R.R. 6 Smiths Falls has supplied barrels of glass and tin and has made several trips down with the truck as well as bringing barrels into us each month. We certainly appreciate his efforts. These barrels make the job much easier and quicker in Ottawa.

The volunteer drivers also supplied their own gas and trucks. We were delighted at the “Meet Your Candidate Night” to hear Mayor Lee promise that if elected, he would have the Blue Boys Source Separation System in place within the year.

There are many government grants available for putting this program in place with the millionth blue box being given out in Toronto Nov. 3, we sincerely hope Smiths Falls will get on board before it is too late and while the government grants are still available.

O

pinion – Christmas is the best time of the year.

Being with your loved ones, waking up early to open presents containing delightful surprises, watching your kids’ faces light up as they tear away the wrapping paper, spending the whole afternoon removing batteries from remotes around the house, trying desperately to assemble complex toys that are beyond your comprehension, coming down off the sugar high brought on by too much chocolate in the morning, travelling hundreds of kilometers to your relatives’ house to eat turkey two months after being forced to do so at Thanksgiving and the realization that months of planning, organizing and shopping have resulted in just a few hours of fun that hardly seem worth the hype.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year.

People love to spend money and what better excuse to blow large sums of it than for this celebration?

Thousands upon thousands of dollars – gone!

Where does it all go? How do you manage to max out a credit card in a single day? The joys

10 YEARS AGO - November 19, 2003 Laughter, looking back and a little bit of sadness were all in the mix for the final council meeting of the current council Nov. 7. Gifts were exchanged, memories shared and members of families came to support those departing council members. The new council will remain the same minus two familiar faces in the town.

Bill Widenmaier after 12 years on council, chose not to run for this next term and councillor Bill Buffam did not receive the vote count needed to return.

JENNIFER WESTENDORP Jiving with Jenn of decking the halls!

Every single television station in the country plans it perfectly. The week leading up to Halloween features nothing but spooky specials.

The day after Halloween, the advertisements for the 20 top toys of the season take over the airwaves.

It’s a very sneaky and well-played marketing ploy. Most people don’t even realize what’s happening until their children begin spewing out the names of toys they expect to see under the tree Christmas morning.

“MOM! I want an Air Hogs Atmosphere!!!”

“DAD! I want a Zoomer robotic dog!!!”

It never ends.

The verbal Christmas lists could fill an entire

book and the index page. It’s rather difficult, especially if your kids still believe in Santa, to explain that the Jolly Ol’ Elf had to fix his sleigh this year and pay for extra reindeer food because they’re all getting bigger.

They have no concept of money, which is why marketing people are so genius. There are never any dollar amounts attached to those ads.

Parents have to Google the toys just to figure out that the Air Hogs thing costs $30 and the Zoomer dog is a cool $150. Ouch - poor mom and dad!

The stores are no better – stocking their shelves with red, green, silver and gold the same day the Halloween stuff is marked down 50 per cent. Who can blame them, after all, these have not been the best of times.

Still, it’s hypnotic. All those Christmas decorations are adorably irresistible. Little snowmen, singing Santas and cute reindeer figurines are hard to pass up as the holidays near, which they are.

So get the credit cards out and prepare yourselves for outlandish final bills at the register.

At least we’re all suckers together!

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Thanking the Good Samaritan DEAR EDITOR: I would like to thank the very kind young man who stopped his truck to help me around 3 a.m.

Sunday morning on Nov. 10.

I had flown back from a conference in Vancouver to Ottawa planning to drive back to Kingston.

We arrived at 1:30 a.m. to snow and wet rain and I decided to just go west on Hunt Club Road as it appeared on my map to connect with Highway 7, which led to Highway 15.

I no doubt took a wrong turn and ended up somewhere dark and lacking street signs. Without a GPS. As I sat on the side of the road reading my map, a pickup truck went by. The young man turned around and came back to ask if I was OK. I told him I was lost and was looking for Smiths Falls, as once I was there I knew how to get home.

He said, “Just follow me, I’m going that way,” and led me all the way to Smiths Falls. I got home just fine. Without his license number, or even the colour or make of his truck I can only say thank you this way. I should note that no one else passed me that night, and without this young man’s kindness I might have ended up sleeping in my car til daylight.

So to the Good Samaritan who stopped to check if I was OK, Thank you.

Ruth Dubin MD, PhD, FCFP Assistant Professor (Adj.) Queen’s University Chair, CFPC Chronic Non-Cancer Pain Committee.

Artists supporting the Food Bank and offering affordable art

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Photo by HOWAIDA SOROUR

Gearing up for their $100 and Under Art Show and Sale at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre from left: Kathy Lavender, Margaret Martin, Nora Brown, Jackie Coldrey and Peggy Orders. tangent and moments later come up with the idea of asking each participating artist to donate two hand-made cards or the equivalent to make up a basket as a door prize.

“Good, I have a really cute basket that I can wrap up in cellophane and we can sell tickets at the door and give the

proceeds to the food bank,” said Brown.

“And somebody will win a basket full of cards and gifts just before Christmas,” adds Lavender.

While all the artists gathered at the table are painters in various mediums and styles they’re quick to point out that

there will be other forms of art represented at the show.

“There’ll be hand painted silk scarves, jewelry, wood carvings, cards, prints, batiques and quiltings,” said Lavender.

There will also be small paintings from all the painters.

Order now and hold 2013 pricing!

“I specialize in kitchen art,” said Peggy Orders. “I paint food on wood.”

That’s certainly one way of describing her work, although there’s a bit more to it than that, judging by some of the pieces she has hanging at Coffee Culture on Russell Street, including a delightful painting

Community - They file in singly or in pairs, each ordering a coffee or tea, peel out of scarves and coats and sit down at a corner table to discuss their upcoming Art Show.

They are some of the artists who are taking part in the $100 and Under Art Show and Sale on Nov. 22, 23 and 24 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre.

“Each artist who is participating has made a cash donation in lieu of the usual fee that would be supporting the Rideau Lakes arts group to the food bank instead, and we’ll be encouraging the public to bring either a non-perishable food item or make a dollar donation to help build the mountain of food,” said Nora Brown, artist and show committee chair.

There will be more than 50 artists exhibiting work within a $100 price range.

“The whole concept of $100 and under is to keep it within the price range that people might spend on Christmas gifts - to make art accessible to most,” said Kathy Lavender, abstract painter.

As they explain their concept for the show, they suddenly veer off on another

of three tomatoes sitting on a shelf.

“She even paints pies and slices of dessert,” calls out artist Margaret Martin.

“She also happens to bake really good pies,” adds Brown.

The camaraderie and general hilarity that emerges around the table temporarily interrupt discussion of the show. Although if their work embodies just half the humour these ladies are capable of, Christmas gift giving should be a hoot.

Back on topic they explain that this is the first time they’re doing a show in Smiths Falls at this time of the year and that adding in the food bank and the price range has brought out more artists than they could have hoped would participate.

“It’s more than doubled the number of artists who would normally participate, and quite a few artists will be exhibiting their work for the first time,” said Jackie Coldrey, artist who will be exhibiting her hand painted silk scarves in addition to a few of her smaller ephemeral water colours.

The show starts on Friday, Nov. 22 from 5 to 9 p.m. and continues Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m and again on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Project Name: Aurora Smiths Falls 2 Solar Project (formerly RE Smiths Falls 2 Solar Project) Project Applicant: Aurora Smiths Falls 2 Limited Partnership (formerly RE Smiths Falls 2 ULC) Project Location: The Project is located on Buttermilk Road in the Township of Drummond/ North Elmsley Project Name: Aurora Smiths Falls 5 Solar Project (formerly RE Smiths Falls 5 Solar Project) Project Applicant: Aurora Smiths Falls 5 Limited Partnership (formerly RE Smiths Falls 5 ULC) Project Location: The Project is located on Armstrong Road in the Township of Drummond/ North Elmsley Project Description Construction of these 10 megawatt facilities is nearing completion and the facilities are currently generating electricity using solar photoYoltaic panels mounted on Âż[ed racking structures with in-ground foundations. Direct current generated by the panels is converted to alternating current by inverters and stepped up to distribution voltage by a transformer at each inverter cluster. Alternating current is routed to a main facility substation and a short distribution line is used to connect each facility into the e[isting distribution grid.

Project Change Installation of the inverter clusters and associated transformers is complete and due to a number of design and construction factors some of the inverters and transformers were constructed more than 10 m from the location coordinates identiÂżed in the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) approval 8020-8R3PH2 for Aurora Smiths Falls 2 Solar Project and 4377-8LMH9S for Aurora Smiths Falls 5 Solar Project. As a result the applicants have submitted applications to the 2ntario Ministry of the Environment (M2E) to amend the respective REA for each Project to revise the location coordinates of the eTuipment. The M2E is currently reviewing these applications. Revised Noise Assessment StudyÂśs have conÂżrmed that the sound levels at all points of reception remain the same or have decreased for each Project.

Residents observe Remembrance Day Community - Reaching out to the senior community at area residences, members of the Smiths Falls Legion, Branch 95 held a service of remembrance at Willowdale Retirement Centre on Thursday, Nov. 7.

NOTICE OF PROJECT CHANGE Project Name: Aurora Smiths Falls 6 Solar Project (formerly RE Smiths Falls 6 Solar Project) Project Applicant: Aurora Smiths Falls 6 Limited Partnership (formerly RE Smiths Falls 6 ULC) Project Location: The Project is located on Kitley South Elmsley Townline Road, in the Township of Rideau Lakes

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community - It takes every member of the community to build a mountain of food for the Smiths Falls and District Community Food Bank, which is why Willowdale Retirement Centre has issued a challenge to Van Horne Manor to see who can raise the most for the food bank.

“Last year we raised $1,038 in cash and (collected) 530 pounds of food and Van Horne raised $196 and 621.5 pounds of food,” said Stacey Philips, community relations manager at Willowdale.

It was a stinging defeat for Van Horne and has to be rectified this year according to Marie O’Neill, community relations manager at Van Horne.

“I don’t know how that happened but

we’re going for the gold this year,” said O’Neill.

The best part is that both seniors’ residences reach out to children in the community through the schools.

“Chimo is taking part in it with us,” said O’Neill, “The kindergarten to Grade 3 (students) are going to colour pictures that we drop-off and the Grades 4 to 8 (students) are going to draw a picture or poster of what the food bank means to them,” explained O’Neill.

The truly fiendish part is that in order to enter the competition the children have to drop off their drawing with a can of food at Van Horne.

Naturally Willowdale is running a similar contest involving school children and artwork because their pictures are always welcome.

“We put the posters up at the entrance

here because our residents like them so much,” said Philips.

Once the artwork has all been handed in, the residents at each retirement centre choose their favourite without knowing who the artist is, of course. The drive isn’t without its rewards for the artists either.

“The first prize is a $25 gift card, second prize is a $15 gift card and third prize is a $10 gift card,” said Philips Most of the residents do participate according to O’Neill and Philips and often their families help out as well.

“In the end we want the food bank to be the winner of this challenge,” said O’Neill.

Both residences are essentially dropoff centres for food donation and are open to anyone who wishes to make a gift of food this Christmas.

Skate exchange helps find blades for fun

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Community – Do you have some old skates hiding in the back of your closet or hockey bag?

Now is the time to sift through those hideaways in search of outgrown blades and pass them along to someone in need.

The South Crosby Recreation Committee is hosting a skate exchange Dec. 6 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Rideau District High School. There is no cost to pick up a pair of used skates. “(We) decided to hold a skate exchange this year so that as many young people as possible could have skates in readiness for rink time,” said Diane Haskins, a member of the recreation committee. It’s the first time, that she’s aware, that there has been an exchange.

Leading up to the exchange, for people who would like to donate used

skates, they can be left at either the South Crosby Public School, located beside the outdoor rink, during regular school hours or the Elgin Healthybodies Gym: Monday or Wednesday 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday or Thursday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday 9 a.m. to noon. This should be done before Wednesday, Dec 4. Folks are then welcomed to attend the high school to check out the skates – free of charge.

Located on Halladay Street, the outdoor rink operates under the umbrella of the South Crosby Recreation Committee, chaired by Brad Banks. It’s the only outdoor rink in the area, noted Haskin.

Students from South Crosby are regular users of the facility.

The SCRC is planning to host a special Sunday celebration for the opening of the rink – weather permitting; time and details to be announced at a later

date, noted Haskin.

In addition they plan to have a supervised skate time each Sunday afternoon while the rink is operating.

“The skate exchange is an attempt to create more interest in the rink in addition to providing skates for young people,” said Haskin.

In the past several years the SCRC has made some repairs to the rink house with the Township of Rideau Lakes providing better lighting, and in 2013, the township cleared out brush around the perimeter of the rink and repaired the rink boards.

“This has resulted in a safer and more pleasing appearance to the rink and rink house,” Haskin said.

Regarding the exchange, Haskin added: “The skates are donated and there is no cost for someone who wishes to obtain skates. It is an opportunity to get people using the rink.”

Township encourages residents to plant bulbs for spring Community - The Township of Rideau Lakes is in its fourth year of The daffodil project, Making Rideau Lakes The Daffodil Capital of Ontario by 2015.

The daffodil project is a beautification committee initiative inspired by the residents of Freeland Road, whose hillside blooms golden each spring with hundreds of daffodils.

Beginning in the fall of 2010, local beautification committees began plant-

ing daffodils in each hamlet in the township.

In 2012, the committee began purchasing bulbs in quantity from The Ferry Gardens in Rideau Ferry and offering them for sale to residents.

This year, in addition to the largesized bulbs from Ferry Gardens, the township is also offering daffodil bulbs from the Canadian Cancer Society.

Residents of Rideau Lakes are en-

couraged to plant daffodil bulbs in gardens and along fences (a clump of five bulbs every third post looks impressive each spring, where the leaves will not be mowed down after blooming. Planted once, daffodils will multiply and bloom year after year.

Corin Raymond performs at MERA Schoolhouse Nov. 24 Arts – Late in 2011, Corin Raymond, who appears Nov. 24 at MERA Schoolhouse, was having a beer with James Paul, owner of the studio that would be recording Raymond’s upcoming live album. He mentioned to Paul that he knew of a bar in Toronto that accepted Canadian Tire money. He was thinking he should get his friends to collect up all their coupons and have a party.

“Rogue Studios has always taken Canadian Tire money at par,” Paul told him.

That was the incident that gave birth to what Raymond calls the Great Canadian Tire Caper of 2012.

He put out word to his fans and friends that he was collecting Canadian Tire money to pay for the recording of his new album. Before long, he was receiving envelopes from far and wide, with everything from a lone five-cent coupon to hundreds of dollars worth of the scrip.

Then the news media got hold of the story, and Corin found himself interviewed on As It Happens and The National and CTV News and featured in the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star, and much to his bemusement, the Wall Street Journal.

He was even the subject of a skit on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, all for his unique approach to funding the recording.

In January 2012, Raymond recorded two nights of live concerts with his band, The Sundowners, and exactly a year later, returned to the same venue to release the CD package. And what a package it is: Paper Nickels consists of two CDs contained inside a 144-page hardcover book, with 57 photos, the lyrics and chords to all the songs, the story of where he found the songs and his experience of the artists who wrote them, and of course the story of how his friends, fans and total strangers helped him collect more than $7,300 in Canadian Tire money.

Submitted photo

Canadian singer-songwriter Corin Raymond brings the Sunday Schoolhouse Concert Series. Tickets are his talents to MERA Schoolhouse Nov. 24, as part of available at Tickets Please in Perth.

The Globe and Mail hailed it as “a live album that couldn’t be more ‘Made in Canada’ if it was scented with maple syrup, shipped by beavers and came with thimbles of Stompin’ Tom Connors’ blood.”

Raymond is no ordinary singersongwriter. He recorded three albums as part of the duo, The Undesirables, noted for their ability to fill an auditorium or other venue with an amazingly rich sound employing only two voices and a single acoustic guitar. His earlier solo recordings

have always included songs by some one or two of his favourite songwriters, but for Paper Nickels, Raymond collected and polished 20 songs by other Canadian artists, enticing his fans with the work of many artists they might otherwise never have heard.

Raymond’s other claim to fame is his onstage patter. He is a born storyteller, and often his introductions are as long as (or longer than) the songs themselves, but the songs and stories are always highly entertain-

ing. The warmth and pleasure with which he infuses his concerts are natural and genuine.

As for instantly employable songs, Raymond’s been lucky enough to have written several of those with Winnipeg songwriter Rob Vaarmeyer. In 2010 he and Rob wrote A Big Truck Brought It, a trucker song that got the attention of Garth Brooks’ manager and publisher in the spring of 2011. Raymond and Vaarmeyer threw that song to the lawyers, where a single-song agreement

is in the making.

Another composition of Raymond and Vaarmeyer’s, Take Me To The Mountain (But Not Yet), was used in an audition tape for a part in the Coen Brothers next film, where it earned Raymond a second look, making his Hotmail account a wee bit more compelling for a week or two last October. Most recently, the pair teamed up to write Don’t Spend It, Honey, the song which unexpectedly launched the Canadian Tire campaign and which has generated more fun than Raymond can even keep up with.

Raymond’s songs have also been covered by Dustin Bentall (who recorded Three Thousand Miles), Treasa Levasseur (who recorded both Asking Me To Give You The Blues and Help Me Over), Patricia O’Callaghan, Scott Nolan, Romi Mayes, Andrew Neville and The Poor Choices, Jonathan Byrd (who recorded their co-writes The Law and the Lonesome and May The River Run Dry – both of which have been covered by several other acts in their turn), Scott Cook and The Long Weekends, Steve Brockley, Maple Jack, Josh Cockerill, Greg Cockerill, Greg Hobbs, Claire Jenkins, The Strumbellas, The Ferraros, The Farmers, Raghu Lokanathan, Suzie McNeil, and Blue Rodeo.

Three different Raymond songs have been performed by three different artists at Massey Hall. His songs often get better gigs than he does, and he’s proud of that.

Raymond appears in the Sunday Schoolhouse Concert Series at MERA Schoolhouse in Maberly on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 2 p.m. Advance tickets are $22 and are available from Tickets Please at 39 Foster St. in Perth (Jo’s Clothes), by phone at 613-485-6434 or online at www. ticketsplease.ca. Tickets can be reserved at Tickets Please and held for pick-up at the door.

Non-members wishing to join in can sign up for a 2014 membership at an additional cost of $10.

The dinner commences at 6 p.m. There will be a silent auction as well so come early and look over the various quality items and make your bid. After dinner Bob and Louise from Gillagillou Bird

store in Almonte will tell us all about their business and will have a wonderful assortment of everything for the birds and bird lovers.

Plaques will be awarded for our annual flower show winners and the photo contest. We will be holding elections for the executive and directors. You are invited to attend after the dinner if you only want to participate in the elections.

CFUW host inspirational evening Nov. 18 with Susan McClelland Community – Nov. 18’s meeting of the Canadian Federation of University Women, Perth and District (CFUW) will host award winning, internationally published writer and journalist, Susan McClelland who will talk about “Victim to Survivor”. The meeting location is the Perth Legion building, 26 Beckwith Street East, Perth at 6:30 p.m.

McClelland was born in Toronto and spent part of her childhood in England, Florida and Canada where she grew up surrounded by writers, artists and scientists and was exposed from earliest years to politics, literature, the sciences

OPEN

and world issues. She earned an honors degree in political science from McMaster University and a Masters of Arts in Communication in Miami and interned at the New York Times’ Florida, Caribbean and Central America Bureaus.

Here she wrote an investigative series on several Canadian women incarcerated for smuggling cocaine into the United States from Jamaica. In 2005 after working for Macleans magazine as an investigative reporter and feature writer, she became a fulltime freelance writer, with her work published in top magazines

in Canada, the US and the UK, as well as publishing several books and making documentary films.

She is particularly interested in human rights and environmental issues.

In 2005 and again in 2008 she won an Amnesty International Media award for excellence in human rights reporting.

One of her books, the subject of her talk on Nov. 18, The Bite of the Mango, details the astonishing true story of 12-year-old Mariatu Kamara, who is a victim and a survivor of the civil war in Sierra Leone. She was brutally attacked and mutilated, and with

no parents or adult to support and care for her, amazingly survived as a result of her courage and great will to live. Eventually she was able to make her way to Toronto to try to pull together the pieces of her life – truly an inspirational story.

“We need more people in the trades and we want to give young girls the chance,” MacDougall added.

Skilled tradespeople earn competitive wages that can provide a

This is the first of three trades events the OYAP program is sponsoring. There will be different events in the coming months at the Perth campus of Algonquin College and at the Cornwall campus of St. Lawrence College.

1948 Ford police car found at Canadian Transportation Museum Lifestyle – On a recent visit to the Canadian Transportation Museum on the Arner Town Line about 30 kilometres south of Windsor, Ont., I had the pleasure of photographing a 1948 Ford Tudor sedan redone as a

period police car.

Right away, it reminded me of all the old movies shot in Los Angeles in the late ‘40s and into the ‘50s with 1948 Ford police cars.

These ’48 Fords apparently made up the entire fleet at one

time. And why not? With Henry Ford’s legendary V8 engine under the hood, these cars had lots of pep for chasing bank robbers and other lawbreakers.

The police car at the museum was built at the Ford factory in Windsor and was given a Canadian serial number: 050H48-17362D. The letter “H” designates the home plant in Windsor.

Five years later, production was moved to Oakville and all the cars built there had serial numbers with the letter “K”.

Velma Swarts of Harrow, Ont., donated this car to the museum on Oct. 16, 2003.

The original colour was grey and the odometer reading today is only 30,100 miles.

All body work and me-

chanical work was performed by volunteers in the 20’s garage at the museum.

The decision was made to transform it into a police cruiser with black paint and white doors and a flashing red light on the roof. It even has a police radio.

According to the museum files, Marc Bodechon on Westcott Road had a 1958 OPP police radio, amplifier, speakers, and microphone which he sold to Heritage Village (where the museum is located) for $100.

This car still has its original flathead V8 engine under the hood with 239 cubic inches cranking out a very respectable 100 horsepower, enough to get you a speeding ticket if you keep the pedal on the floor.

Top speed would be around 90 miles an hour. That’s more than fast enough for me!

The museum files indicate a transfer of ownership took place on Thursday, Aug. 26, 1965 to Russel Waters Motor Sales at 104 Queen St.

in Harrow, Ont. Perhaps the original owner traded the car in for something newer, and this might be where Velma Swarts acquired the car.

The Fords built from 1946 to 1948 look almost identical.

The pent-up demand for new cars caused by the shutdown during World War II guaranteed a steady market for new cars right after the war even though they were restyled 1942 models.

The first post-war Ford was the 1949 model brought out in June 1948, making the ’48 production run shorter than the two previous years.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Landscape design to benefit us and nature to be discussed Nov. 21 Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (MVFN) 2013-2014 public lecture series, Knowing and Caring Connect Us to Nature, continues Nov. 21 with its third presentation, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Landscape Design: Longterm Benefits for Us and Nature.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Anyone who possesses a curiosity or appreciation for wild nature will enjoy these lectures. Cottagers, hunters, fishermen, canoeists, hikers, campers, artists and seasoned field naturalists alike will find something to interest them as we explore what lives in Lanark County and how best to protect it for future generations.

Refreshments are offered at each lecture.

Picture our landscape â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hubs of human activity in towns and cities linked to one another by roads, set in a matrix of agricultural and natural land. Hubs are where most of us obtain food, shelter and water, and where we socialize, raise families, and retire. Just like us, wildlife (plants and animals) also relies on hubs for food, water, shelter, and places to reproduce. For wildlife, these hubs include provincial parks, nature reserves, and other large natural areas. Wildlife hubs are called core natural areas. Just like us, animals need to travel in search of food, mates, and other resources. By connecting core natural areas with strips of natu-

ral habitat (linkages), animals can move between core areas, giving them more living space.

So, we can say that natural cores and linkages are like cities and highways for nature.

But that is only part of the story. Natural areas in our landscape not only benefit wildlife â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they increase our well-being too!

Stop and think about it...Where does the oxygen we breathe come from? Where is water stored on the landscape, and where does our clean drinking water come from? Where do our wild game, fish, maple syrup, and timber come from? Where are the popular places in our area for canoeing, hiking, hunting, skiing, or horseback riding? Downtown Almonte or Perth?

Natural areas also provide us with less tangible cultural, spiritual, inspirational, and educational benefits. What other benefits (goods/services) can you think of that natural areas provide? A list of five is good, 10 fantastic.

Continuing to reap these benefits requires that we understand and acknowledge their magnitude and diversity. We must see natural areas as our natural capital stock and give them the weight they deserve in our decision-making processes.

How do we ensure that all these benefits of our natural areas are passed on to our grandchildren and their grandchil-

dren? You must have guessed.

We need to maintain the health of the ecosystems they contain that provide these benefits. We need to maintain all the components and interconnecting processes that naturally occur in these ecosystems. We need to maintain (designate and protect from detrimental human activities) a network of linked natural core areas. This is simply part of logical, practical landscape planning to ensure our survival.

Networks of natural areas are being identified and protected in many regions across the province including the Oak Ridges Moraine north and east of Toronto, the Niagara Escarpment, Halton County and, in our neighbourhood, the City of Ottawa. Thus MVFN invited Dr. Nick Stow, ecologist and senior planner for the City of Ottawa, to speak about how the city designed its natural heritage system for longterm nature conservation.

Further, we are accustomed to valuing things in dollar terms.

The field of ecological economics is growing and methods to assign dollar values to these benefits have been proposed.

Consider one example. The Ontario Greenbelt, which stretches 325 kilometres from Rice Lake in Northumberland County to the Niagara River, protects about 535,000 acres of lakes, wetlands, river valleys and woodlands. The value of this Greenbeltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mea-

surable non-market ecosystem services is estimated to be $2.6 billion annually, which is $3,487 per hectare.

Joni Mitchell reminds us not to take our natural areas and their benefits for granted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;til itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

gone.â&#x20AC;? Learn how they enhance our well-being and understand how we can ensure a harmonious, long-term connection with them. The path forward will be illustrated in MVFNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next lecture â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landscape Design: Longterm Benefits for Us and Natureâ&#x20AC;?

presented by Dr. Stow, Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., Almonte. All are welcome ($5 fee for non-members).

For further information, please contact MVFNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program chair Cathy Keddy at 613-257-3089.

CHEO'S CARE MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR LOGAN'S FAMILY

Logan Charbonneau

Like most six-year-olds, Logan Charbonneau has a zest for life. He plays hockey with the West Nipissing Sting in his home town of Sturgeon Falls, Ontario and loves to play with Lego blocks.

He loves his school, and although he can be shy when he meets new people, he always ends up loving them.

After being seen in CHEO’s Emergency department, Logan was admitted to CHEO’s 4 West medical unit where he was diagnosed with a general failure to thrive. Children who fail to thrive don't receive or are unable to take in, retain, or use the calories needed to gain weight and grow as expected.

Logan was adopted at birth. At three years old, he was diagnosed with both autism spectrum disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. His parents, Tammy and Jeff, say that two of his major challenges are difficulties with sleeping and eating.

For the past three years Logan has been struggling with his diet. “He has no appetite at all,” explains his father. “He would go days without asking for food.” Logan simply has not been eating enough and this has affected his overall health. His growing body needs nourishment to thrive.

Still struggling with his lack of appetite and having lost a significant amount of weight, the CHEO team wanted to find a solution that would help Logan receive the daily nourishment he needs to stay healthy and grow, as well as regain weight — all while letting him live as normal a life as possible. After testing and consultations, Logan had surgery to have a gastrotomy tube (also known as a g-tube) inserted in his stomach. A gastrotomy tube is inserted through the abdomen and delivers nutrition directly to the stomach.

Recently Logan began to complain about pain in his abdomen. For a child who doesn’t complain, this was worrisome. A trip to the local Emergency room in Sturgeon Falls ruled out physical ailments, but the problem didn’t go away. The hospital’s pediatrician suggested Logan should be seen at CHEO.

After a four week stay at CHEO, Logan was well enough to go home to Sturgeon Falls. To prepare for their return back home and the required follow ups, the family connected with CHEO pediatrician, Dr. Ann Rowan-Legg, who knew their doctor back home. Dr. Rowan-Legg provided the support and medical follow up required for a smooth and thorough transition.

Jeff and Tammy were very impressed with the level of care and concern shown at CHEO.

“

“From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience,” remembers Jeff. “They’re kind. They’re thorough.

They ask a lot of questions and they answer all of our questions.”

From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience.

”

“She not only put the wheels in motion, she made sure it was done at a pace that we’re comfortable with,” says Jeff. “It’s all based on what’s best for Logan.” The medical team consulted with the support services they use in Sturgeon Falls to make sure they were set up to take care of Logan when the family went home.

“The only thing we’re concerned about while we’re here is him. The rest is taken care of by CHEO,” says Jeff. Tammy adds, “They’ve been one step ahead.”

Logan’s home life will change a little bit but within a few months he should be back to the same active life. Now his parents know that he’ll have all the nourishment he needs.

“There have been times in hockey he couldn’t even finish a game because he was too tired,” says Tammy. Teasing Logan, she adds, “Now you can get strong for hockey!” Thanks to CHEO, Logan can look forward to hockey and so much more.

Mudds Humbug’s director indeed a triple threat and more

By PAT BLACK

Arts – My thespian friends will be well aware of the meaning of “triple threat,” in theatre jargon! It, of course, refers to an actor/actress who can not only dance, but also sing and act as well. The director of the Mudds upcoming production of Humbug, not only is a triple threat, but will also soon be able to add, “accomplished director” to her resume. I am speaking about Laurel Tye. I took the opportunity to sit with Laurel and ask her a few questions to find out more about this latest director with the Mudds.

Question: Tell me something about your beginnings. What got you into music? Who or what influenced your decision to become a teacher?

Answer: My parents were musical, but especially so, my father. He was an accomplished concert pianist who decided to confine his exceptional talent to his church, The Salvation Army. I heard music in the house almost constantly.

My three older sisters sang music, which my dad composed and were asked to perform on the radio in Detroit. I was too young but was determined that someday I would play the piano and sing.

I studied piano and theory from the age of six and studied voice from the age of 16. By the end of grade 13 I knew I wanted to study music at university. I was a voice major at the University of Windsor while singing in the Windsor Light Opera Society. One summer I worked with under privileged children in Chicago as a summer program coordinator for the Salvation Army. We

Laurel Tye is the director of the Mississippi Mudds’ upcoming performance of Humbug, which kicks off at the Carleton Place Town Hall auditorium Nov. 29. worked on crafts, games and stories in the morning, and in the afternoon we rehearsed a musical my father and I had written called, Wonderful Day. Their enthusiasm and bright spirit in the face of poverty and lack of opportunity touched my heart deeply. It was then, at the age of 19, I decided I wanted to become a teacher.

Q: Where did you earn your degrees?

A: The University of Windsor is where I earned my first degree in music.

I earned another undergrad degree later from the University of Toronto. Most recently I have earned a degree from Ottawa U. Q: How did you get involved with the Mudds?

A: A friend asked me to come out for Good News, a show the Mudds were rehearsing 22 years ago. The delightful company of such warm and friendly people cast a spell over me, which I have happily been under ever since!

Q: What is your preference? On stage or as music director?

A: Conducting is my passion. I have always had a group to conduct from the age of 15. It is definitely where I am most comfortable. I studied choral and orchestral conducting in university but prefer choral conducting. So much magic can be made with voices.

It’s fun to be on stage and take on the personality of a fictional character too.

Wearing costumes and make-up adds to the fun. My favourite role was that of the Blue Fairy in Pinocchio because I was given a gorgeous gown to wear, a crown, a wand and buckets of sparkles. I think there are still sparkles on the floor of the dressing room from my dress. My wings were huge and impressive. Having the opportunity to sing is also a joy. Singing with the chorus is fun and, if I get a solo, that’s even better. My favourite solo was ‘Ev’ry Time We Say Good-bye’ in the Cole Porter show about 17 years ago.

Q: What made you decide that you wanted to direct? Are you enjoying it?

Are you missing the music directing?

A: After 22 years I’ve watched many good directors in the Mudds. I thought that it might be fun to take what I have learned and try my hand at it. To my delight, the board of directors gave me the green light.

There is a wonderful reward in seeing my friends working so hard to con-

tribute to my vision. In this case, they have surpassed my dream. I also enjoy the hours of solitude whereby I can think through scenes and music. I sometimes hear music and dialogue blending in a certain way that I am thrilled to find my musician friends (Peter Brown and Kristine MacLaren) understand and employ.

That’s very exciting! I will always be at heart a music director but I can’t say that I’m really missing it in this show.

Humbug has provided me with yet another opportunity to stretch myself as artistic director. I think the secret to being a good one is to gather an amazing team.

There you have it folks, a little insight into this very talented lady – Laurel Tye. Tye is a principal at York Street Public School. She drives all the way from Orleans to be part of this group, at least twice a week. The Mudds are very lucky to have such talent in our group.
