Inside HUB improves pool safety NEWS with new AED device By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community - The HUB pool at the Gallipeau Centre is now equipped with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The device arrived on Tuesday, Nov. 19 and was immediately installed at the pool. “This has been the result of the efforts of pool lifeguarding staff, individuals who use the pool, the Rotary Club and the AED program through MP Scott Reid’s office which made this device affordable,” said Darlene Maclachlan, president of the HUB. It was in fact an individual who knew how important it was to have one on hand who spearheaded the whole process of acquiring an AED for the pool. “I’m a paramedic so I know how things work and if you have a defibrillator on hand you can save a life. They’ve got great lifeguards there, and it’s better to have the equipment they need for the training they’ve got,” said Greg Waters. His concern was shared by the staff at the pool who agreed that they needed an AED on site and the sooner the better. “The urgency is that we have an aging population and a lot of people who haven’t been exercising for a long time. The pool was closed for five years and now these people are coming back so an AED adds a layer of safety,” said Barbara Richmire, pool coordinator. Having an AED at the pool means that staff can respond to an incident immediately until emergency services arrive. “We’re all trained to use one, as part of lifeguard training,” said Richmire. They are also trained in CPR, but the AED is a tool that adds a level of security to both the staff and the public. “There is much more likelihood of survival with an AED than just doing CPR, because these new devices also analyze the patient’s vitals,” said Richmire. Determined to make sure the pool got the device, Waters started doing some research and
discovered that MP Reid had a program for providing discounted AED devices to venues that needed them. “They have a pool and we know that the best exercise for seniors and the disabled is swimming, so they’re kind of the perfect candidates for this type of device,” said Reid. The Canadian Heartland Program offers AED devices to qualifying venues with a package that includes the display case and device maintenance and monitoring through AED Authority Canada. “There was an incident in Toronto some years ago, where someone collapsed on a transit platform and a bystander saw the AED mounted on the wall, ran and got it, but when he tried to use it the battery was dead,” said Reid. That’s why the program that Reid offers adds a layer of security to ensure that devices are maintained properly with working batteries. “Included in the package is upkeep from the AED Authority, and they send out a reminder to clients to check their batteries, and once the client has complied they report back to the authority, so there’s also a paper trail,” said Reid. While the cost of these devises has dropped considerably over the years, it still costs about $2,000 to purchase a single device. Reid’s program pays more than half the cost and the applicant pays the rest. Through the mayor’s monthly meeting with the service clubs the HUB presented their case and it was the Rotary Club of Smiths Falls that responded to the need. “We had received a letter from the HUB looking for support. We discussed it and decided that it was something that they would certainly need and it was within our price range to help,” said Bill Baxter, president Rotary Club of Smiths Falls. Now that the device is in place Waters is breathing a sigh of relief. “It just seemed like something that needed to be done,” he said.

Honour loved ones with a light By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Events – The Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation’s Caring Community Tree of Lights celebration is on for Sunday, Dec, 1, at 6 p.m. The campaign is a fundraiser for the foundation and proceeds will go towards purchasing a new piece of medical equipment for the hospital, as there is no other funding for those purchases. “People have been coming in and making donations in the name of a loved on, and then we add a light to the tree in honour of that loved one,” said Lise Smith, executive director of the foundation. “It’s a really nice way to honour someone. I take advantage of it every year.” Just before Christmas, the foundation takes out a full-page ad in the paper and prints the names of all those who have been honoured on the tree of lights. In its 18th year, the campaign originally started following the death of Hal Botham, local radio broadcaster. For years, it carried his name and then went on to honour a number of prominent

people and service clubs in the community but this year is different. “The foundation had chosen in the past to honour, through the tree of lights, people who have been significant contributors to our hospital and healthcare in our community. For 2013, we have decided to put the focus on our fundraising drive for the green light laser prostatectomy. We believe this equipment will make a big difference for men in our community, our healthcare professionals and the hospital,” said Coun. Shawn Pankow, chair of the foundation. Nothing else has changed though; there will still be hot chocolate and cake served. Santa will make an appearance to hand out goodies to the children and a number of local businesses have donated items for the usual door prize draws. This year the Lombardy Glee Club and the Duncan J. Schoular Choir will provide the entertainment. “Everyone will gather in the cafeteria, then we’ll go outside and the two choirs will sing, Linda Bisonette, our CEO, will say a few words and then we’ll light the tree,” said Smith.

By ASHLEY KULP
Community – The spirit of giving is alive and well in Smiths Falls after the community helped bring in more than 45,000 pounds of food Nov. 23 during the Build A Mountain of Food campaign’s local food blitz. The food blitz took place at four locations throughout town: Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, The Garden Market, Food Basics and for the first time, Giant Tiger. The food (45,833 pounds) and cash donations ($3,456.87) from the day will benefit the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. According to Build A Mountain of Food campaign co-ordinator Hugh Colton, the Smiths Falls numbers are up 30 per cent over last year. “The communities are absolutely giving and it’s overwhelming,� he admitted, noting that last year, 32,233 pounds of food were collected. “It was a record breaking day.� Local volunteers and members of the Smiths Falls Bears braved the cool conditions at each location from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to help support the food bank. Colton said that Andress’ Your Independent Grocer also shattered their record for the sale of pre-packaged bags of food. “Last year, 500 had been sold but by 3:30 p.m. last Saturday, 609 pre-packaged bags had been sold at Andress’,� he said. The breakdown for that 45,833 pounds of food included 16,283 pounds from the general public, 9,300 pounds from local businesses and organizations, as well as 20,252 from the stores hosting the local food blitz.

REGIONAL NEWS
STEO prepared for inclement weather STEO staff review forecasts each day before 2 p.m. to check for weather alerts that may affect busing. If there are problems on the horizon, bus contractors are notified. Forecasts are reviewed again at 9:30 p.m. On the mornings that snow storms, freezing rain, or other weather problems are expected, the forecasting service, Pelmorex/The Weather Network, is contacted at 4:30 a.m. to check on weather conditions. Pelmorex/ The Weather Network is one of the most accurate forecasting services in the country. The same system is used by road crews from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. STEO staff members do not rely solely on forecasts, however, when deciding whether or not to cancel bus service. Consultation takes place with a team of contractors whose staff members check area roads at 4:30 a.m. if bad weather is expected. The region is separated into 18 zones with a contractor as a captain in each zone. The captain reports weather and road conditions to Cotnam directly, confirming the amount of snow and ice accumulation on roads, if snow or freezing rain is continuing, and providing details on accumulation and intensity. STEO, and the contractors, also consult with municipal road crews, police, and other school boards throughout
the region, before making the call. With such a large area, it’s not unusual for weather to be bad in some parts of the jurisdiction, and not others. In those situations the board only cancels busing in problem areas, or areas where weather is expected to pose difficulty for bus drivers by the time they pick up students for the return trip home. This means buses can be cancelled in all 18 zones, or cancelled in as few as one, when conditions warrant such an order. Parents may get frustrated if roads in their area look fine, but while one street may look clear, travel elsewhere in the immediate region may be dangerous. The final decision on bus cancellations is made by the director of education from each board, or his designate, based on Cotnam’s recommendations. The decision to cancel must be made by 5:45 a.m., as buses begin as early as 6 a.m. “We understand that cancelling buses in bad weather has a big effect on families, and we know that students are best served in the classroom,” said Cotnam. Once the decision is made to run, STEO cannot reverse it, even if weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse. Parents rely on that decision when they leave for work. Submitted by Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario.

News – With winter near, and the impending onset of inclement weather, Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) has improved the way it manages bus cancellations for the upcoming winter season. “STEO has worked vigorously to improve communication with parents and students about decisions to cancel busing if snowy conditions or icy roads make it unsafe to run buses,” said Ron Cotnam, STEO’s general manager and chief administrative officer. Letters have been sent to all parents of students in both the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario and the Upper Canada District School Board, explaining the process for issuing bus cancellation orders. STEO’s website offers easy access to transportation updates during inclement weather season. While STEO still works with area radio and TV stations to issue details about cancellations, the website means parents don’t have to wait for the next newscast to get details. They can log on at www. steo.ca to access information. “The decision to cancel busing is not taken lightly,” explained Cotnam. “It’s based on careful analysis of several factors, from up-to-date weather forecasts, to information from bus drivers who check roads on mornings when problem weather is expected.”

Garneau calls for Ford’s resignation, return of long-form census desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – You don’t go into politics to become popular. Marc Garneau, Canada’s first man in outer space, found that out for himself when he entered politics at the behest of former Prime Minister Paul Martin and discovered that the G-force pressure of lift-off in the space shuttle was good training for the pressures of political life. “When I was an astronaut, I was very popular,” said Garneau, speaking to the first year politics class taught by Perth Mayor John Fenik at Algonquin College’s Perth campus on Monday, Nov. 25. “Everybody liked me. Now, I am a politician,” he said with a laugh. “That is one of the transitions you make. If any of you enter politics…you have to be ready for the fact that people will tell you that they do not like you.” But as a former astronaut, reliant on reams of computer and scientific data, he told the students that the Harper government’s decision to scrap the mandatory longform census was a bad one. “I believe that policy should be based on evidence,” said Garneau. “It should be used to craft policy.” He admitted that for those who did fill out the census that “yes, you can find a few of the questions very intrusive…but it gave
you an accurate data base on which to base policy.” Without that accurate information, “you tend to make decisions based on ideology, and less on evidence.” While the students seated before him were a long way from retirement age, Garneau sounded out one of his party’s possible 2015 election platform planks, decrying the Harper government’s decision to raise the retirement age from 65 to 67. Getting back then to his audience, many of whom likely had student loans, he also suggested that students should not have to pay back those loans until they landed a job after graduation. Garneau is currently not only the Member of Parliament for the Montreal riding of Westmount-Ville-Marie, but is also the Liberal foreign affairs critic, former Chancellor of Carleton University, and former president of the Canadian Space Agency. With such a resume, one student commended his run for the federal Liberal leadership earlier this year. “I tried that. It didn’t work,” Garneau said with a laugh. “I ran for it because I had a lot of ideas that I thought were good ideas. But competition is competition,” and the eventual winner, fellow Montreal MP Justin Trudeau, felt he had ideas that were just as good. “It was very clear that Justin was way out in front,”
said Garneau, with himself in second place. By March of this year, Garneau gathered with his team to analyze an extensive survey of 6,000 Canadians, which laid bare that there was simply no stopping the Trudeau juggernaut.
“Do I soldier on bravely with Justin so far ahead?” asked Garneau of his staff. He eventually decided to drop out of the race, since “it all costs money. It would have added to my campaign See GARNEAU page 6

debt.” Not that he still doesn’t have detractors who still question his decision. “People wag their finger at me and say ‘You should have stayed in the race,’” said Garneau. “I hated to back out.” Garneau’s seat in the House of Commons is just down the hall from the Senate, one of two political hot spots in the country right now, the other being Toronto City Hall. On the senate scandal, which ensnared three former Conservative senators,
and a Liberal, he said that the punishment meted out by the senate on Pamela Wallin, Mike Duffy, and Patrick Brazeau, was acceptable. “I am a believer that if you do something wrong, you should pay,” said Garneau. “You also have to have your day in court,” to defend yourself. He reminded his audience that he lives in Montreal, where the city hall there has had its own scandals, with two mayors in as many recent years resigning over corruption allegations.

Ford, “I think he should step down.” He found himself in agreement with a fellow MP who is normally an ideological foe, Employment and Social Development Minister Jason Kenney. “When you are in an elected office, you have to bring a certain dignity to it,” Garneau said, before adding that, “nobody is perfect…I understand he (Ford) was elected, but too many things have happened,” since his victory in October of 2010.

Merrickville Aikikai open for business By STAFF
Business – Local martial artists interested in aikido now don’t have too travel too far from home to practice it. Merrickville Aikikai officially opened its doors on Sept. 21 at 1211 County Road 43, just outside of Merrickville. Owner and chief instructor Gary Roberts, a resident of the village, has been practicing the defensive art for 40 years. For the past eight years, he has also been the owner and chief instructor of the Ottawa Aikido Centre, at which he continues to teach as well. Aikido is a Japanese martial
art that translates into ‘way of harmony’ and uses natural body movement to deflect an attacker’s intent. “It only teaches you methods that are effective in a fight,” Roberts, a 4th Dan, said. It is the youngest of martial arts. “Aikido speaks to every single one of us in one way or another,” Roberts noted. “For me, the idea is to use meditation in action. It’s about the quiet mind while you’re moving.” Currently, the centre offers classes for beginners right through to the more expe-
rienced. Classes take place Monday and Friday evenings at 6 p.m., Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. and Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. for those 55 and older. The sessions last approximately an hour and a half and focus on demonstration and providing students with the opportunity to practice techniques. Classes are $20 up to a max of $100 per month. For more information on Merrickville Aikikai, look for them on Facebook. For an in-depth feature on Merrickville Aikikai and Roberts’ road to becoming an instructor, please see next week’s edition of the EMC.

Every day, Canadians are faced with spend versus save decisions that will have an eventual impact on their future financial life and the quality of their retirement years. Here’s the dilemma in a nutshell: “I know I should save for my retirement but that new big screen LED TV is on sale for a great price and it would be a terrific upgrade for our family room.” Sure, it’s difficult to think about a distant future plan (something intangible that is way down the road) when you can get something you want today, this is why many people don’t set realistic goals. But, in this case the solution seems obvious: Stay with the perfectly serviceable TV you’ve already paid for and put the money you would have spent on the new one into a retirement fund (or some other investment). Simple, right? But there’s much more to effective financial planning than investing in investments held within an RRSP or other savings vehicle. While it is undeniably true that the earlier you start saving, the better — especially within a tax-reducing, tax-sheltered RRSP where the magic of compounding will enhance your investment growth over time — the first thing
Manage Your Money you need to know is what you are saving for. In other words, you can’t measure a future need without knowing what that need will be. So start by carefully defining your objectives — some are straightforward, like your desire to buy a larger home at some future date; others require much more thought, like looking at your retirement from every angle and defining the level and duration of finances you will eventually need to achieve your dreams.
• What if your income — and thus, your ability to save — is affected by ill health, a workplace accident, a sudden unexpected expense, or even job loss? But don’t be deterred — there are answers to all these questions, ranging from an effective investment diversification strategy to insurance coverages that will protect you, your family, your income and your estate. Yes, comprehensive financial planning is complex — and also vital. Make the right decisions today and for your future by talking to your professional advisor.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Saying thanks to a caring community DEAR EDITOR: On behalf of Operation Christmas Child, I want to express my sincere thanks to all those who participated in any way. Special thanks goes out to Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church and all the volunteers who so graciously donated their time and talent. Thanks to Wills Transfer for taking the boxes on the first part of their journey and to the Perth Courier, Lanark Era and the Frontenac News for putting our story in their papers. Thanks to the Salvation Army Thrift Store and the staff for all their help, K.W. Outdoor Power Sales for use of their building and vehicles and McMartin House for the use of their building, without which we would not be able to distribute our boxes. Thanks to all the businesses that donated to the campaign and each
individual who so lovingly packed a shoe box, our thanks and also the thanks of each girl or boy who will open their boxes and their faces will light up with the true meaning of Christmas. I consider it my privilege to have served in this worthwhile endeavour as some of these children have never received a gift before and really didn’t know that there are people in the world who care about them enough to send this wonderful message all tied up in a little shoe box. May you and your families enjoy the true meaning of Christmas this year. Vivian Buchanan Perth
COMMENTARY
Be weather wise Editorial – Whether we like it or not, winter officially made its annual appearance earlier this week and sometimes we need a reminder on how to dress appropriately for the conditions. Playing outside in the snow can be fun, but the dangers of frostbite and hypothermia aren’t a laughing matter, according to the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. Frostbite, the freezing of the skins and layers of tissue underneath, can occur when temperatures dip below -4 degrees Celsius and can be hard to feel. If outside for prolonged periods of time, the health unit recommends you check for white or grey spots on the skin or areas that may have lost feeling. Tingling and pain can also be signs of frostbite, which normally affects the feet, hands and ears. Hypothermia, when heat is lost from the body faster than you can create it, is equally serious as once this happens you may not be able to think clearly. It requires immediate medical attention and if outside, you should watch for symptoms including: loss of memory, shivering, slurred speech or loss of consciousness. To combat the wicked winter chills, make sure you are bundled in layers of warm dry clothing, drink hot fluids, cover exposed skin when outdoors and be aware of the early signs of frostbite and hypothermia. To ensure you and your family stay warm this winter, the health unit also recommends a heated environment of 20 degrees Celsius be maintained. For more information, visit www.healthunit.org.
You made do or you did without in Depression years Lifestyle – How often I had begged Mother to find the few pennies it would take to buy just one bar of store-bought soap. But there was always a better place for her egg money, she’d say. And besides, there was nothing wrong with the bars of homemade soap she churned out once or twice a year. As well as my loathing for the homemade soap was my absolute dislike for the days Mother put aside to make it! That seemed to happen spring and fall. It couldn’t be too hot, or too cold. Winter had yet to settle in that year I remember with such clarity. The summer kitchen was still being used to store things, but soon it would be too cold to be nothing more than a place to pile the wood. And once the snow came, it was through the summer kitchen we went to get rid of as much snow off our feet as possible, before coming into the kitchen. Mother announced at breakfast that morning that Audrey and I were expected to hurry home from school because we would be putting supper on the table. “I’m making soap today,” she said. She had been saving lard from the fried bacon, roasted pork and anywhere else she could find a spoonful or two of fat. By the time the soap day rolled around, about four small honey pails of fat sat on
an old table in the summer kitchen at the ready. The tin of Gillette’s Lye was already bought at Scott’s Hardware in Renfrew, and we children were warned every day not to even touch the tin it came in, so deadly it was! “Poison. And it will burn a finger to the bone,” Mother warned. Every time I walked through the summer kitchen, I looked at the yellow and black lettered tin of lye like it alone had started the First World War. The containers Mother used to make the soap were big square black tins, much like the cookie sheets that stood on edge in the bottom of the kitchen cupboard. But these were shallow, and much larger, and as black as your boot. Even before we went to school, Mother would have started into the soap making. The tins (usually there were at least three in use at a time) were spread out on the old wood table in the summer kitchen. The kettle would be boiling on the Findlay Oval, and Mother would take it to the summer kitchen and half-fill the black tins with hot water. I would always hope we would still be home when she added the lye. I both hated and was entranced with that step in soap-making. Mother would pry off the lid with a knife Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

and evenly pour the lye over the hot water. And great gusts of steam would come off the tins, not from the hot water which would cool off almost immediately, but from the lye doing its dastardly deed with the water. There was an old wood spoon, with a very long handle, that was used for nothing else but stirring the lye into the water. It had a piece of binder twine through the little hole in the handle, and when not used for soap-making, hung in the summer kitchen, so that it wouldn’t accidentally be used for something that would be put in our stomachs. The fact that Mother wore a pair of Father’s old work gloves confirmed in my mind how deadly was the lye. We were never around long enough to see the next step, but we knew the little honey pails, which would have been sitting on the back of the cook stove to turn to liquid, would be brought close to the News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Jennifer Westendorp DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

table, and once the lye had been melted into the hot water, the lard would have to be stirred into the mixture. Into one tray Mother would drop in a few drops of vanilla. That tray would be used for our baths and face-washing. My sister Audrey said the hardest part of soap-making, was trying to blend the fats into the water and lye. Sometimes it took hours. And I would picture in my mind Mother with Father’s old work gloves on, stirring and stirring and making sure not a drop would touch her skin. By the time we got home from school, the big black trays of lye, water and fat, would have gelled and hardened, at least that was Mother’s hope. But sometimes, it seemed to take forever for the pans to set well enough to be cut into bars. Wile that was happening, Mother constantly jumped up from the supper table and went out to the summer kitchen to press a finger to the mould to see if it was ready to cut. I could never figure out how the deadly lye could lose its power just by adding water and lard! When it did (and I questioned the fact), it became the soap we would use in our baths on Saturday night, for washing our hands, shaved into slivers for doing the Monday washADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM
ings, and for anything else that needed to be cleaned with soap and water. By the time the evening was well on its way, Mother would bring the trays onto the kitchen table which had been spread out with copies of the Renfrew Mercury, and with the sharpest knife in the house, she would cut the soap into bars. Sadly, no matter how hard Mother worked to melt the lye, there was always a few pieces left that didn’t succumb to the hot water, and it wasn’t unusual at all, when washing, to have a piece of lye scrape across your body, leaving a scratch like one made by a mad tom cat! My sister Audrey and I and Mother were the only ones to use the soap made with a dash of vanilla, but as far as I was concerned, the vanilla did little to take away the strong smell of Gillette’s Lye. One day Mother bought a bar of a new soap called Ivory. It was for company, like Aunt Lizzie when she came from Regina, and when she left, it was wrapped in wax paper, and stored away until her next visit. So all through those Depression years, homemade lye soap was part of our lives, and very much a part of a time in our lives when you made do, or you did without. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is renewing his call for the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to immediately introduce legislation to amend the Municipal Elections Act. Clark said the amendments required include eliminating the excessively punitive penalty for the late filing of election expenses by municipal candidates. Currently, being even one day late in submitting this expense report means you automatically lose your council seat and can’t run in the next municipal election. The “lame duck” period between election day at the end of October and the date new councils officially take office on Dec. 1 must also be shortened, said Clark. “Time is running out to amend the act in time for the changes to take effect for next year’s municipal votes,” said Clark. “Every Municipal Affairs and Housing minister since the last municipal elections in 2010 has assured me

Orion Theatre Company Brings Les Misèrables to Perth this February Picture, and received eight Academy Award nominations, and won three Oscars. The film’s soundtrack has sold more than two million copies worldwide. And now, local theatre-goers have a chance to see for themselves what all the fuss is about. On Feb. 6, Orion Theatre Company’s production of Les Miserables will open at Code’s Mill on the Park in Perth for a twoweek run. Code’s Mill provides a wonderful cabaret-style theatre experience, with table seating and bar service. Based on the widely acclaimed 19th century novel by Victor Hugo, Les Misèrables tells the story of Jean Valjean, and his quest for redemption after serving
19 years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread, who breaks parole to start a new life, but is relentlessly chased by a police inspector Javert. It depicts the life of the poor – les misèrables – in early 19th century Paris, and the revolutionary spirit that existed amongst the students and working class who were frustrated by the inequalities and cruelties perpetuated by the ruling class and the rich. Set during the Paris rebellion of 1832, the play climaxes during an epic battle between revolutionary students and the army. Producing directors, Heidi Stepanek and Peter Dixon have assembled one of the strongest casts in its history. The cast is led by locals Peter Dixon (Jean

A number of Orpheus alumni from Ottawa have joined with Orion as well, including Lawrence Evenchick (Thenardier), Barbara SeabrightMoore (Mme. Thenardier), Andrew Galligan (Marius), Michael McSheffrey (Grantaire), and Erynn Paton (Feuilly). They are joined by a host of
names well-known to Perth theatre-goers: Jenn Vorano (Courfeyrac), Javier Mullally (Lesgles), Cameron McTavish (Prouvaire), Abigail Ramsay (Joly), Janice Reid, Garry Welsh, Scott Somerville, Andy Simpson, Jacqueline Ramsey, Murray Hodgins, and new-comer, Justine Sousa.

Local band BoB Spelled Backwards to appear in Bolingbroke Dec. 6 Community – BoB Spelled Backwards, the quirky folkcountry-psychedelic blues band featuring five members of the Dorner-Sullivan family, will perform their only concert of 2013 at the Bolingbroke Café (at the ABC Hall in Bolingbroke – 3166 County Rd 36) on Friday, Dec. 6. BoB Spelled Backwards, after performing widely in Ottawa and eastern Ontario in recent years, have been taking a bit of a break this year, to allow the individual members to work on other projects. Japhy and Noah
Sullivan have performed their own material as a duo, as well as leading a four-piece instrumental band called Conspiracy Of Sound, performing funky, folky, jazz originals. Meanwhile, Noah and Margaret Sullivan have also performed as a duo, appearing as Charlie In The Middle, and parents Danny Sullivan and Kathy Dorner have revived some of the material they performed in the 1990s with their band, The Dharma Bums. In the summer of 2012, the Dorner-Sullivans spent a week in Toronto, recording at The
Millstream, the studio of Canadian folk-hero and long-time producer, Paul Mills. The result was a five-song BoB Spelled Backwards EP, Thicker Than Water, that highlights the genrebusting variety of their extensive repertoire. The band has plans to go back into the studio in 2014 to work on their first full-length album. In the new year, they also have plans for more live performances, including a major charity fund-raiser in Ottawa next spring. Whether they’re playing in someone’s kitchen or living/
room, or on the stage of a festival or theatre, BoB Spelled Backwards are always ready to give it their all. With original songs ranging from soft-spoken folk ballads to reggae-tinged philosophical musings, their watchword is eclecticism.
The Bolingbroke Café is a monthly event, organized by Mike Erion, featuring a different musical act every month. Specialty coffees, teas, desserts and soft drinks are served, and the doors open at 7 p.m. for refreshments and socializing. BoB
Spelled Backwards will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6 at the ABC Hall (3166 County Road #36). Admission is $10 at the door. For more information, contact Mike Erion 613-273-8718 or email merion@kingston.net.

Countdown on for the Dominion Tankard curling championship Jan. 27-Feb. 2 By HIT N ROLL
Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Dominion Tankard starts in 60 days at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre (arena). The Dominion Tankard, which is the Southern Ontario provincial menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling championship, takes place from Jan. 27 to Feb. 2, 2014. The winner represents Ontario at the Tim Hortons Brier. The tournament is overseen by the OCA (Ontario Curling Association). The event is sponsored by the Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company. Northern Ontario has its own provincial championship known as the Dominion of Canada Northern Ontario Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championship. Since 1960, there have been five Ontario provincial champions from Eastern Ontario â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jake Edwards of Kingston, 1960; Eldon Coombe of Ottawa, 1972; Alex Scott of Kingston, 1975; Earle Morris of Ottawa, 1985; Rick Moffatt of Ottawa, 1999 and Bryan Cochrane of Ottawa, 2003. The original Tankard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Brier Tankard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was first
awarded in 1927 and stayed as the most coveted trophy in curling until 1979 when Labatt Breweries took over sponsorship from MacDonald Tobacco. The Tankard trophy went into hibernation until 2000. The Tankard is a treasured piece of Brier history. The second leg of the Grand Slam of Curling took place in Alberta last weekend . Once again teams from Ontario were prominent with four of them in the final eight. Each of these outstanding teams are potential participants in the Provincial Championships here in January. The quality of play was not as good as the first
Grand Slam event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precision shot making was more difficult because the ice was tricky and seemed to be tilted.â&#x20AC;? The defending Ontario champions, the Glenn Howard, Wayne Middaugh, Brent Laing and Craig Savill team (rink) has won this event for the past seven years. Are they ripe for an upset? By the way, Wayne Middaugh won his Junior Provincial Title in Smiths Falls in 1987. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other finalist rink was led by Joe Frans as skip. Some of our readers will recall that Joe grew up in Smiths Falls and began his curling career here. His father (Theo) was icemaker at our club in addition to his farming activities in the 1980s. The next big event and, one that has been anticipated by all top level teams, is the Olympic trials which take place in Winnipeg this coming weekend. Both the Rachel Homan and Glenn Howard rinks are amongst the favourites to be in Sochi in February. There will be food at the Tankard. Box lunches will be available from noon to 2 p.m.
in theâ&#x20AC;? Lockmaster Houseâ&#x20AC;? in the upper level of the arena. In the evenings from 5:30 to 7 p.m. delicious meals will be provided by local caterers and served by volunteers. Tickets for the meals are limited. They can be purchased daily at the event.
The ticket package order forms are available online at www.thedominiontankard2014.ca, at the arena and curling clubs in the region. Any of the packages would make a great Christmas gift. Single draw tickets are available. As described earlier, each
draw consists of five 10-end games and there will 11 draws in the round robin. For more information, please call 613-8123372 or the Smiths Falls Curling & Squash Club at 283-4700 or curling@bellnet.ca Slide into the Falls; do not miss The Tankard!

Books, documentaries shed light on JFK conspiracy theories lieve one individual, Lee Harvey Oswald, was the lone shooter in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas on that terrible afternoon half a century ago. The majority opinion expressed to me falls in line with what recent polls south of the border have discovered. In the lead-up to the 50th anniversary last Friday, one wellknown American polling firm found 61 per cent of those they questioned believe there was an organized plot behind Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assassination. What is particularly interesting about conducting a survey about JFKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slaying now is that so many millions of Americans who were alive in 1963 are now deceased. That supports my feeling that people today are just as intrigued by this remarkable story. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real life murder mystery that knows no boundaries! Last week I said I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the conclusions contained in the Warren Commission Report. Obviously many readers also disagree with the contents of that lengthy document. The 889-page outline purports to be the final word on Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assassination. As a career journalist my main interest is the news. It seems much of what we read and hear today is bad news although I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it was much different in the past. Human beings continue to be fascinated by negative occurrences.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
I will admit Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had my fill of the Rob Ford story. By contrast I can never get enough information about the Kennedy assassination! During the 50th anniversary week there was a veritable media smorgasbord of material about the assassination. Some stories and television documentaries went straight up the middle, focusing on the history and outlining familiar details about a news story that will probably never completely fade. Different ethics To me the best of the many TV documentaries was a PBS show which focused on how CBS Television handled coverage of the Kennedy assassination. I found the news ethics of the day particularly intriguing. Especially considering that the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;newsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;ethicsâ&#x20AC;? are rarely used together at present. Currently details about major events are instantly disseminated via the Internet, with little thought as to whether the facts have been checked and no concern about how incorrect information might affect those involved, their fami-
lies and friends. That approach is not ethical in my opinion! Fifty years ago CBS-TV and famed news anchor Walter Cronkite (the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;anchormanâ&#x20AC;? was coined for him) demonstrated a refreshingly different style. In fact Cronkite refused to go to air with word of Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death until it had been officially announced. That despite the fact CBS could have been scooped by other networks! He hesitated despite the fact his reporters had solid information from reliable sources that the president had suc-
cumbed to his wounds. Cronkite was worried how such terrible news would affect his audience. A far cry from the carefree â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some would say â&#x20AC;&#x153;carelessâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; approach of the electronic media today. To be fair there were also downsides to news reporting 50 years ago. In Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unwritten codeâ&#x20AC;? meant journalists turned a blind eye to the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many peccadillos. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m referring to the numerous sexual liaisons we now know JFK engaged in while he was president.
A certain Bill Clinton wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as fortunate in that regard. So, why should we care about an event that, despite the depth of the tragedy, happened 50 years ago? To answer my own question, I believe one has only to consider that the murder victim in this case was the most powerful man in the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;free world.â&#x20AC;? Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death undoubtedly altered the course of history in his country, Canada and the world. Of course See COLUMN page 22

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was confident there would be great interest in the column I wrote last week to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the assassination of United States President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Still, I could not have guessed how many readers would respond to my request for feedback on the murder of JFK. There must be a lot of people from my generation reading this newspaper? Either that or the assassination and its aftermath spans the generations and continues to be of general interest? I suspect thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mixture of both elements involved. But the volume of email I have received from readers on this subject is remarkable. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reply to every message. But thank you to those who read last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column and took the time to tell me where they were on Nov. 22, 1963 or to share details about how JFKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assassination affected them and their families. As I said in the previous article, the sudden and unexpected death of the young president was a massive shock. Kennedy inspired a generation and millions of people, including countless Canadians, were personally affected by his death. The majority of my correspondents feel the assassination was the culmination of a conspiracy. In other words more than one person was involved. Others be-

it matters. Besides, who wouldn’t want to know the real story behind such a world-shaking tragedy? Many people, including me, don’t believe we have the whole truth in this case. But what evidence is there to support such a contention? I believe the Warren Commission had only two objectives after the new president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, appointed them. First, they set out to prove Oswald was
the lone assassin. Secondly they wanted it known that Jack Ruby was the only person involved in Oswald’s subsequent murder. Those were the key findings of the commission. But there is compelling evidence the contents of the final report were altered to enhance their conclusions. Many of those who have closely studied JFK’s assassination believe the shortcomings of the Warren report are best detailed in the pages of author Sylvia Meagher’s book ‘Accessories After the Fact:
The Warren Commission, the Authorities and the Report.’ Those in the know consider Ms. Meagher’s 1967 work, which I read many years ago, to be the definitive volume on this extremely important subject. Her extensive research led Meagher to pen three books about the Kennedy assassination. Numerous theories There have been literally hundreds of books written about JFK’s murder. One estimate I heard last week is more than 1,000. Most are based on one theme or present one

conclusion. I believe many of the ideas presented are highly questionable. For example, a book that claims the Masonic Order was behind Kennedy’s killing. Those kinds of “theories” are a dime a dozen! What sets Meagher’s second book apart is that she lets readers draw their own conclusions. Obviously there is a big clue to her personal feelings in the title. Beyond that she simply presents documented information. During the time the Warren Commission was in session Meagher was a professional indexer. She undertook the mammoth task of cataloguing every page and exhibit of the Warren report. Eventually she decided to compare the contents of the final document to the recorded testimony of the many witnesses who appeared before the commission. She found literally scores of discrepancies. Witness testimony
is either missing from the report or it had clearly been altered. Surely that must have been done to reinforce the report’s conclusions? Meagher meticulously catalogued the apparent differences and outlined the obvious conflicts in print. The result is a book which is quite remarkable. Meagher doesn’t point fingers. Instead she leaves it to the reader to make up their own mind based on the information she presents. Peter Dale Scott, a noted Canadian-born JFK assassination researcher, is one of those who weighs in with an opinion about Meagher’s book. A website I visited quotes Scott as saying, “In her book she (Meagher) shows unequivocally the methods of distortion, suppression and apparent intimidation which were used to arrive at untenable conclusions.” Those who have analyzed Meagher’s extensive work feel that based on her considerable research the findings of the War-
ren Commission can’t possibly be taken seriously. Unfortunately at this point the book is out of print and difficult to obtain. Meagher died in 1989 at age 67. But if you are interested, why not check your local library or used book store? You might just come up with a copy. It is definitely worth the read. To me a comment made (numerous times) by the late Jesse Curry, chief of the Dallas Police Department at the time of the Kennedy assassination, is extremely telling. “We have no proof that Oswald fired that weapon (rifle) at President Kennedy that day,” Curry said. To me that statement alone calls into question the very tidy conclusions contained in the Warren Commission report.

How to use a roundabout Strawberry Tarts colour up Kemptville News - Roundabouts are a type of intersection at which all traffic circulates in a counterclockwise direction, to the right of a central island. All entering vehicles must yield to traffic already in the roundabout. Quick tips Slow down as you approach the roundabout. Choose the correct entry lane. Watch for pedestrians crossing the roadway when approaching or exiting a roundabout. Traffic in the roundabout has the right-of-way. Give large vehicles extra space to manoeuvre. Avoid passing other vehicles in the roundabout. Signal your exit. Benefits of roundabouts Roundabouts have a number of benefits over traditional intersections including: Improved safety - Reducing the number of vehicular conflict points and reducing vehicular speeds, in turn, reduces the potential for severe crashes and serious injury. Reduced speeds - A reduction in speed is necessary to negotiate the roundabout, whereas vehicles may not slow down during the green phase of a traffic signal. Increased capacity – A high volume of left turning vehicles is better handled by a roundabout than a multi-phased traffic signal. Fewer stops and reduced delays - Delay is significantly reduced by yielding at the entry of a roundabout, rather than stopping and waiting for a green light at a signalized intersection; or waiting for a gap in the traffic at a stop sign. Less idling and air pollution – Reduced delays mean reduced fuel consumption and improved air quality by reducing emissions. Reduced maintenance costs – The roundabout eliminates maintenance and electricity costs associated with traffic signals. Aesthetically pleasing – There is an opportunity for landscaping within the central island. Rules for roundabouts Slow down as you approach the roundabout. Keep to the right of the Splitter Island. Use the correct lane for your intended destination. Pay special attention to pedestrians who may be crossing the roadway. Watch for vehicles already in the
Community – The Strawberry Tarts of Kemptville were spotted attending the latest theatre production by The Kemptville Players Inc. The Red Hats have been active for seven years in our community. The Red Hats are a global society of women that connects, supports and encourages women in their pursuit of fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment, and fitness. The purpose is to change the hearts and lives of women and it evolved into a women's movement of women committed to supporting each other through fun and friendship allowing each individual the empowering permission to play. This grass roots social phenomenon encourages women to connect socially, emotionally and support each other in the pursuit of vital, active living through middle age and beyond. The founder is Sue Ellen Cooper. Red Hats began in 1998, with a friend purchasing an old red hat for a good friend. There are now 20,000 chapters in all 50 states and 25 foreign countries. "The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve and humor. We believe silliness is the comedy relief of life, and since we are all in
roundabout, including cyclists. Traffic in the roundabout always has the right-of-way. Entering vehicles must always yield. Enter the roundabout when there is an adequate gap in the circulating traffic. In the roundabout, keep to the right of the Central Island and travel in a Counterclockwise direction. Do not stop, pass large vehicles or change lanes within the roundabout. Use your right-turn signal when exiting the roundabout. If you miss your exit, continue around the roundabout again and exit. Large vehicles Large vehicles may need to use more than one lane when approaching, within and exiting the roundabout. Within the roundabout, large vehicles may also need to use the Truck Apron. Give large vehicles plenty of room to navigate within the roundabout. Pedestrians Never cross to the Central Island of the roundabout. The Splitter Islands will allow you to cross one direction of traffic at a time. Pedestrians should always wait for gaps in the traffic and only cross when it is safe to do so. Cyclists Experienced cyclists may ride through the roundabout as if they were any other vehicle. Before entering the roundabout, cyclists should carefully move into the centre of the appropriate travel lane. They should stay in the middle of the lane until they are clear of the roundabout. Less experienced cyclists should dismount and walk their bicycles, following the same rules that apply to pedestrians.

Underneath the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next." - Sue Ellen Cooper, Queen Mother The Strawberry Tarts of Kemptville gather to attend local events or simply do lunch. They have participated in the Canada Day Parade.
The Kemptville group has gone to Montreal for lunch with the Cornwall Group and two groups from Montreal. The Strawberry Tarts have also attended a Bling Fest in Montreal and even as far as New York for a weekend. They have participated in the August Pig Roast and can often be seen around Kemptville!

Emergency vehicles If you have not yet entered the roundabout, pull over to the right if possible and allow the emergency vehicle to pass you. If you are in the roundabout, take your intended exit and proceed beyond the Splitter Island before pulling over to the right to allow the emergency vehicle to pass you. Never stop inside the roundabout. The above information is from the Ministry of Transportation.

Severe weather on the rise, say Ontarians News – Almost half of Ontarians are concerned about severe weather and the potential impact to their homes, yet surprisingly only half are taking additional measures to protect their most valuable asset, according to research commissioned by leading home, car and business insurer RSA. About 64 per cent of Ontarians say that the frequency and severity of severe weather is on the rise, yet only half have taken additional precautions when it comes to protecting their home. With summer storms in the forecast for much of the province, now is a good time to consider what measures you can take.
There are a number of steps you can take now to prevent weather from wreaking havoc on your home and cottage: • Consider applying an additional moisture barrier along the eaves of the roof to prevent water intrusion. • Be sure to check flashing on your exterior walls where it may meet up with roofing to ensure it is sealed tight and not opening. • Trim weak branches or trees that could fall on your home under the weight of a heavy rain and wind. • Talk to your insurance broker to ensure you have the right coverage for weather related damages.

Ariel is about one-year-old Pebbles Pebbles is a large, mature nine and has already delivered a set of and a half-year-old female with a lovely black and white tuxedo coat. Pebbles is quick to let you know her likes and dislikes – she does enjoy being petted but will let you know when she has had enough. She prefers to be the only cat in the home, and while she resides in the cat condo with others, she keeps to herself and prefers to wait for her forever home in silence. She would enjoy a quiet home with a mature companion who will take the time to let her be comfort- kittens. She is now spayed and able and adjust to home life after ready to start her own life of her being surrendered to the shelter. It own. She is truly sweet natured, clean and sociable. She would be an ideal family cat, enjoys being held and petted, looking at windows and playing as all young cats should. One look at Ariel and you are sure to fall in love.

and that’s the face of Max. As personable as he is beautiful, as affectionate as he is good-natured, Max captures hearts wherever he goes. Known as a true gentleman, he is extremely friendly, sociable and playful around people. He walks very well on leash, and because he loves to run and explore, he eagerly invites anyone and everyone to join him. Enthusiastic, intelligent and only moderately vocal, his moderate to high energy level calls for plenty of exercise to tire him out, and enough stimulating activities to constantly challenge him. If you think you can keep up with handsome and happy Max, invite him over to your place to play. Then hold onto him. Forever.

lessness; identifying barriers and solutions to the issue; providing tools and resources for those who work to alleviate homelessness; encouraging networking and sharing of best practices; and engaging individuals, communities and the private sector in solutions. Cornerstone Landing provides rent supplements, gift certificates, and other supports as long as the affected individual stays in school and working towards course completion. A report issued earlier this year identified Canada’s homeless population at upwards of 300,000 people, with a third of them young people. Raising
trustees in the spring of 2013 to recognize and share with the system innovative teaching and work practices. Trustee Caroll Carkner said the board is seeking a student design because she has seen the high quality of artwork produced by UCDSB students. “It also makes them a part of the process,” said Carkner of the decision to seek a student design. “We know that there are innovative, artistic students out there in our system, and we want to give them an opportunity where they can see their artistic ideas having a real impact by acknowledging the work
of our innovative employees.” Designs must meet the following guidelines: • The contest is open solely to students within the Upper Canada District School Board and the T.R. Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education. • Designs must be no more than 21 centimetres tall and 12 centimetres wide. • The winning design must bear the UCDSB logo, the title “Trustee Innovation Award” and have space allocated on which to display the winner’s name, workplace, and year.
• While artists are able to use any media, entrants must include with their entry a list of materials required to create the award. The overall cost of producing each award must be no more than $50 – taxes included. • Students can work alone or as a team. • Designs must be submitted to trustee liaison officer Lisa Raymond in electronic format by no later than May 31, 2014. Entries can be emailed to: lisa.raymond@ ucdsb.on.ca. The awards will be presented to winners in the fall of 2014.
the Roof notes that families are the fastest-growing segment of Canada’s homeless population, and for the next three years, the national organization will place a special focus on developing a preventative/early intervention framework which addresses family homelessness. A report on youth joblessness issued by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives last month also painted a bleak outlook for young people trying to break out of the cycle of poverty, revealing that Ontario has the highest rate of youth unemployment of any province outside of Atlantic Canada. Figures compiled by the Ottawa-based think tank reveal that youth joblessness figures rival those of the worst-hit areas of
the US rust belt. “It is no understatement to point out that a lot of young people are in crisis, with one symptom of that crisis being insecure and precarious housing, couch surfing, and never knowing from day to day if one will have a place to study, to have some private, quiet time, to have a shower,” explains Cornerstone Landing’s community coordinator, Matthew Behrens. “That’s why we’re really honoured to be part of Raising the Roof, which has been in this struggle to end homelessness for the long haul. We’re also incredibly lucky to have such supportive local boosters in the stores that are selling the toques.” Anyone interested in pur-
chasing a toque to support Cornerstone Landing can visit Jo’s Clothes (39 Foster Street), Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer (at the customer service desk), and Fiddleheads Bar and Grill, across from Stewart Park. While Cornerstone is currently working to keep a number of young people both housed and in school, the organization also provides guest speakers for local churches, service clubs, and other groups interested in learning more about the issue and how they can get involved.

Studio Theatre dishes up Christmas feast of laughter for whole family By JOAN SONNENBURG
Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;During my childhood in England, it was always a Boxing Day treat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. The whole family can go â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Grandma, Granddad and all the little kids can go as a family outing,â&#x20AC;? says Patricia Parry, director of Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas pantomime, The Wonderful World of Mother Goose. And that is just what Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming production is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fun for the cast, fun for the crew, and most of all, fun for the entire audience, youngsters and oldsters alike. This tale is not a traditional nursery rhyme. Far from it. The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose is filled with madcap characters, zany and sometimes naughty dialogue, and classic songs such as Shall We Dance, Skip to My Lou, The Man I Love. The story involves the familiar fairy
tale character oaf Mother Goose, played as you have never seen her by actor Joe Weber. Poor old Mother Goose and her family are being thrown out of their humble cottage by the evil Clarence Creep, played by Hugh McCullogh. The Fairy Queen (Norma Cummings), decides to help her out by sending Priscilla, (Brenda Roberts) a magical goose who proceeds to lay golden eggs. Although Brenda has never been on stage in her life, and Norma is more often than not the director or lighting techmician), they are both finding it great fun to be on stage in this play. Brenda is just thankful she has no lines. However, as in any self-respecting fairy tale, the question arises, can such great riches bring Mother Goose lasting happiness? The question is answered by a cast of other characters who involve the audi-
ence in this wacky caper, with Discord, the evil fairy played by Krista Duff, pitted against Harmony, the good fairy, played by Laurie Reesor. Into the fray come Mother Gooseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly son Billy (Lucas Tennant), her daughter Jill (Satinka Schilling), Jillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiance Colin (Connor Lyon), and two comical characters, Onions and Sage, played by veteran actor/director David Parry and Paul Joyce who is usually happier promoting Studio Theatre productions than acting in them. A mixed cast to be sure, but they all have one thing in common: they are having the time of their lives. Those who have done previous pantos like Norma Cummings love this form of theatre. Krista Duff, who has not done a pantomime since high school, enjoys the general atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is funny,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
a fun-filled atmosphere with everybody just being crazy.â&#x20AC;? Fun for the cast, but even more fun for the audience members from fouryear-olds to 94-year-olds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids go to, you call something out and they tell you to be quiet,â&#x20AC;? says Lucas Tennant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pantomime gives a true sense of entertainment and participation. Even if a kid calls out something, there is no real rule. Everyone who shows up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tech people, audience members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a vital part of it.â&#x20AC;? The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose runs Dec. 5, 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 7:30 PM, with three matinees at 2 p.m. on Dec. 8, 14 and 15. Advance tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children under 12 at the Book Nook (cash only) and Tickets Please (major credit cards accepted, fees apply, (613) 485-6434 R0032315052_1114

Arts – Humbug! The Mississippi Mudds of Carleton Place will be performing their Christmas pantomime Humbug! this holiday season. Mr. Scrooge has transported himself from the realm of the 1800s and brought us into the 20th century and the cast of the original characters has been slightly augmented with amusing, shall we say, psychedelic actors. Since no panto is complete without a dame, this show has not one dame, but two – Mrs. Slapan (played by Bryan McManus) and Mrs. Tickle (played by Laurie Dickson), the bumbling ladies from H.E.L.L. (Home for the Elderly Ladies League). The topsy-turvy world of pantos includes the lead roles of Scrooge and Dickens being played by female actors in this version. Meredith Millman has taken on the role of Scrooge while Trish Smith narrates the story as Charles Dickens. Along with the Cratchet family, the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, the people Scrooge interacts with throughout his life, and the townspeople, it’s sure to be a crowdpleasing performance for all who dare to attend! Join Tiny Tim, Scrooge, Marley, Fezziwig, Belle and the rest of the cast for a yuletide story that will get you into the Christmas spirit with laughter and tears, singing and dancing. Performances will be at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Evening performances, at 7:30 p.m., are Friday, Nov. 29; Saturday, Nov. 30; Friday, Dec. 6; and Saturday, Dec. 7. Matinee performances, at 2 p.m., are Sunday, Dec. 1 and Saturday, Dec. 7. Evening performances are $20 and matinees, $15. Tickets will be sold at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce (132 Coleman Street, 613-257-1976). For more information, visit mississippimudds.ca.

Grade 10 girls get a taste of trades at recent UCDSB workshop News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kitana Albers is not a â&#x20AC;&#x153;girlyâ&#x20AC;? girl. So she fit right in Nov. 18 as she and 25 other Grade 10 girls from schools across the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) participated in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living the Skilled Lifeâ&#x20AC;? workshop at the Kemptville Campus of the University of Guelph. The event was held to give young
girls a taste of the trades and get them thinking about them as a career choice. The St. Lawrence Secondary School student learned about heavy diesel engines, got to â&#x20AC;&#x153;virtual weldâ&#x20AC;? using a welding simulator and then used the real thing to make a jewelry stand, before getting her hands dirty learning proper planting techniques in
the greenhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like traditional girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stuff like watching kids and making dinner,â&#x20AC;? Albers said of her reason for attending the trades day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really my thing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to keep my options open and try it out and see if there is something here I want to do,â&#x20AC;? she added.
Albers was one of about 150 students attending one of five trades education days being held last week at the agricultural university as part of the event. Thirty students a day from both the UCDSB and Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario are participating in the event, which will expose young girls to the value of the trades. They began the day hear-
ing from female welderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apprentice Elizabeth Woods about the value of working in the trades, including a good wage, the ability to be creative in your work and the availability of future jobs. The availability of future jobs is why the day was funded by a See TRADES page 33

REGIONAL NEWS TRADES From page 32
special grant from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, and organized by the university in cooperation with Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) facilitators from both boards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ontario is going to experience a real shortage of experienced tradespeople in the coming years,â&#x20AC;? said Alex MacDougall, OYAP facilitator
Connected to your community
for the UCDSB. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hopefully going to get young girls interested in the trades to help fill that need.â&#x20AC;? Studies suggest that in Ontario alone 26 per cent of the skilled trades workers will be retiring over the next ten years, said MacDougall. The day offered the introductory speech by Woods, followed by the chance to attend three sessions of nearly 90 minutes each in which the girls got a taste of the welding, hor-
ticulture and diesel engine mechanics trades. While Albers attended the event because of an interest in horticulture, she particularly enjoyed the chance to use a welding simulator at the event. The school brought in a simulator made by Lincoln Electric. Just like a video game, each girl who went through the simulation put on a helmet that took them into a virtual world. When they used the weld-
erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wand on a special piece of angle iron, they saw a weld run across the iron through the simulatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helmet. The machine then evaluated the work for important aspects of a weld such as travel angle, work angle, travel speed and position of the weld. Each student received a score out of 100 to let them know how they did. In the diesel seminar, the girls learned about the tools used in mainte-
nance, saw different kinds of engines, and had a competition in two-women teams to see which team could bolt a tire in place the fastest. In the horticulture seminar, the girls toured the greenhouse, were introduced to plants such as rosemary and learned how to properly pot and care for an English ivy plant, which they were able to take home with them.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told: Serious silliness at Full Circle Theatre Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Take three wellknown community performers, serious men in their middle years, men with deep plays such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on their resumes. Put them together on the stage at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre and tell them to perform Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some). Then get out of the way! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recipe for serious silliness and BarnDoor Productions December offering is baked to perfection. David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin tear up the stage in the funniest, fastest and most nonsensical tribute to the holiday season ever put on stage. It all stems from David Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep desire to perform Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Christmas Carol, a story he has performed many times, including a one-man version. The other two members of the cast are not quite as enthusiastic and agree on a compromise: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell every other Christmas story first, then Dickens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. The digressions include everything from Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (or rather, for copyright reasons, Gustav The Green-nosed Reingoat), a swing through the Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving Parade, a few brief commercial interruptions, the Grinch, Frosty The Snowman, Christmas traditions around the world, a fruitcake themed game show and much more, all performed by three people and all in about 90 minutes. Director Janice Jacklin, with more than 30 years ex-
perience directing everything from Sweeney Todd to The Wizard of Oz, has decided that her part in this is not so much direction as refereeing: blow the whistle and see what happens. When the dust settles, she picks the best of the free-for-all and adds it to the comedy pile. The result is nonstop fun. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, of course; in fact, Every Christmas Carol Ever Sung. There are Christmas ghosts and a Christmas goat. There are grumpy old misers and tiny little Whos. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even an inflatable beagle on a doghouse and, you know, nothing says Christmas like giant inflatable doghouses. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some), by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez, is a great family show, with fun for young and old, although we recommend those with a still-unshakeable faith in St. Nick be left with the baby-sitter (no matter what their age). Not only is it entertaining, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational, too: did you know that naughty children in Spain are told they will be abducted by a Santa dressed all in black who will carry them off with him back to Holland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that children in Holland are told theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be taken to Spain? Makes you think. In fact, the show does that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; makes you think. In between the laughs and the fun, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting little thread of thought about the place of Christmas in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world. Just a little thought â&#x20AC;&#x201C; enough to give you pause before the next piece of silliness brings the laughter back to the fore. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just
the ticket to generate the holiday spirit. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) will run at the Full Circle Theatre (Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
only ground-level, barrier-free theatre), 26 Craig Street, Perth, Dec. 6, 7, 12, 13, 14 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved and $22 at the

We will miss everyone; the good times and laughter we had, the morning regular customers that were there “regardless of the time”. We appreciate everyone that was there for us.

THOMPSON With the passing of our Mother (Lois) we would like to thank our families, friends and relatives who sent heart warming cards, flowers, dropped off food or shared some little story that involved mother over her 84 years. Even yet we still have people sharing their sympathy with a hand shake or a few kind words. We are blessed to be surrounded by a neighbourhood of this quality. You will live in our hearts forever. As always whether in joy or sadness the Heckston UCW had the resources to draw on and step in to welcome the community. We thank you for being there. On May 10 2013 there was a part of our lives that stopped and now we would be drawing on all the memories. With help from Victoria Byers and her staff at Byers Funeral Home we were allowed to focus on what was really important at this time, while they looked after all the details in a most respectful and professional manner. Thank you. We would like to thank Rev. Brian Barr for conducting the service for Mother as if he had known her all his life when in fact he had never met her before. We are thankful our community is made up of people like him. Thank you to Pat Sugarman for the music that allowed our thoughts to travel to a special memory we had of mother. Many thanks to the staff at Bayshore Home Health and Gamma-Dynacare for having a smiling face every time they came to the house no matter what time of the day it might have been. A special thank you to Dr. Blaine and his staff for all their care and attention to mother’s health requirements over the many years. DEATH NOTICE

Ruth Elinor (nee Robertson) Moore
March 3, 1920 ~ November 24, 2013 A life of ninetythree years defined by a sixty-eight year marriage, a spirit of independence, a zest for life, still driving her car and managing her affairs. Ruth grew up in the Toronto Beaches experiencing the 30’s and on through the war years as a military bride. Her husband George (1917 - 2007) was overseas and they would later return to Paris, France at S.H.A.P.E. Headquarters in the ebullient 50’s where they shared the post-war challenges and excitement of building a modern era alongside their American counter-parts. They settled back in Canada in Ottawa plus the Perth area lake country and finally in Perth itself. Life was a celebration, a hard work ethic with humour and a conservative take on politics well cured by life’s experiences. Still reading, still laughing, still a class act to the last, her spirit lives on. Ruth was a devoted Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother to her three girls Judy (Ken), Meredith (Dave) and Kingsley Ruth. A service and interment will take place at the National Military Cemetery, Beechwood, Ottawa, Ontario Saturday December 21st, 2013 at 10:30 A.M. with a celebration of her life to follow. As the Christmas Season approaches, donations in memory of Ruth to the Salvation Army would be appreciated. Arrangements are in the care of Blair & Son Funeral Directors, 15 Gore St. West, Perth, Ontario.

Winter tires and rims fodder for Car Counsellor Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I heard you on Lake 88 FM radio recently and I have a question. I will be in Florida for three months (January through March).

pressure sensors are an important safety feature, none of my customers have ever chosen to use them on winter tire and rim packages (yes, I explain the pros and cons to each customer). What these customers have chosen to accept is the responsibility we all had before the tire pressure sensing systems came out; we use a tire pressure gauge (available at any auto store for around $10-$15) and check our tires frequently throughout the winter. It only takes a few moments and should be done every few weeks or so and especially before heading out on a long trip. Having a set of dedicated winter rims has its advantages. It keeps your summer rims (especially if they’re alloys) from being exposed to winter salt and grit which can cause surface pitting and finish peeling. It also reduces the cost of seasonal tire changeovers. Depending on the costs of specific winter rims and your shop’s tire change-over fees, it usually takes at least four winters to break even cost-wise by using winter rims instead of swapping tires on your summer rims. It’s interesting that most of the latest safety gear on cars like tire pressure sensing systems, collision mitigation systems, lane departure and blind spot warnings all came about because collectively we as drivers have given up part of our responsibility to drive and maintain our cars in a safe manner. None of these systems would be needed if we simply did things ourselves like check our blind spots before lane changes or check our own tire pressures or leave enough distance between us and cars around us according to road and traffic conditions. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Already Steve has been with the company for 12 years and Chris, the younger son has been there for about eight years - so that dynamic is also working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a give and take relationship, and we get to spend every day together, which is a bonus,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Evoy, the younger son and co-owner.

He stayed with Performance Printing for nearly six years before making his first half-hearted foray into self-employment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bought a small business here in town called Copy Queen, it was really basic printing and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last,â&#x20AC;? said Carl. He returned to work for Performance for another year-and-a-half, before finally taking the serious plunge and going out on his own to start Impression Printing in 1989. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was quite an ordeal really, starting my own business,â&#x20AC;? said Carl and something he says would be very difficult to do nowadays.

News - Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be celebrating 25 years in business come January and this year Impression Printing was named Business of the Year by the Smiths Falls and District Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea we had been nominated. In fact it was a friend of mine who talked me into going to the chamber dinner,â&#x20AC;? said Carl Evoy, owner of Impression Printing. If the nomination and the award surprised Evoy they were not a surprise to his colleagues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he really deserved it,â&#x20AC;? said Valerie Kerr, office administrator who has been with Impression since it opened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the one time that Carl was lost for words!â&#x20AC;? According to Kerr, Evoy has been great to work with and though the business can get hectic, everyone works well together to give each job the attention it deserves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been doing business with Carl for as long as he has been doing business,â&#x20AC;? said Jim McPherson, Smiths Falls resident and frequent event organizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always makes sure you have an excellent product, at an excellent price and with excellent timing.â&#x20AC;? No easy feat in the printing business where so many jobs have a custom component, a twist and/ or a rush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work as a team,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Evoy, Carlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eldest son and co-owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody covers each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back, understanding that the job has to get done â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a 9-to-5 operation.â&#x20AC;? Originally from Smiths Falls, Carl says he just kind of fell into this business. His plan had been to become an electrician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to high school in Ottawa, because Woodroffe High had a really good electrical program in Grade 12,â&#x20AC;? said Carl. The plan was to go to Algonquin College after high school, but he ended up getting a part-time job at the Citizen on weekends, where he made a good impression because they offered him a job straight out of high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had an opening in the engraving room making photos for the newspaper, that was in the days of hot metal (plates),â&#x20AC;? said Carl. That was where he learned to run the small presses. Not long after that he decided he wanted to get married but he needed a better job, so he headed west. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went out to Calgary and worked for a print shop, and learned how to become a graphic stripper - I used to joke, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yeah I work as a stripperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? he said with a chuckle. That particular job which basically involved getting copy and photos ready for press is obsolete in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital world but it was good experience

Town sees significant decline in budget deficit There seems to have been a process error that led to the cost overrun on the refurbishing of the building. The main reason for the cost overrun was the third party review that was initiated by two town staff members who are no longer employed by the town. The review was not initiated at the start of the process but after the tender had been awarded and construction drawings completed. The result was a series of delays and change work orders which contributed to cost increases. “A third party review should have been done before awarding the tender,” said Dowdall. “This could have dragged on a lot longer but the amendments were dealt with in a spirit of collaboration to minimize expenses.”

Community – Four-year-old Ayden Banfield chats with Santa Claus during the Nov. 24 Breakfast With Santa event at the Smiths Falls Legion. Banfield is hoping to see a Barbie camper under the tree this Christmas.
News - At a meeting of Smiths Falls council on Monday, Nov. 25, a number of interesting issues were covered including a significant decline in the town’s budget deficit at the end of October and a question regarding the redevelopment of the old Smiths Falls water treatment plant. Mayor Dennis Staples raised the issue that there seems to be some confusion with regard to the arena surcharge. He wanted to clarify that the surcharge only applies to residents who do not live in contributing municipalities. It does not apply to residents of Rideau Lakes, or the other four municipalities that are currently expected to enter into recreation agreements with the town including Montague, Merrickville-Wolford, Elizabethtown Kitley and Drummond-North Pelletizer The pelletizer at the waste water treatment plant is finally up and runElmsley. Residents of those municipalities are covered by their township recreation agreements with Smiths Falls and are not subject to the $378 ning. The final cost has come in at $729,736.66. The biggest line item was the heat exchanger which according to arena surcharge. Ted Joynt, water waste water operations superintendent, had to be sole sourced because it’s a proprietary item.

To track your consumption, write down the number that is displayed on the face of the meter. The next day (week, month, etc.), record the new number that appears on the face. Subtracting the current meter reading from the initial reading will give your consumption for that day (week, month, etc.). The average Canadian uses approximately 0.3 cubic meters of water a day. Checking for leaks: Your new water meter is equipped with leak detection technology. To check your home for leaks, turn off all the faucets in your home. Ensure that no water is running anywhere in the home. Observe the meter. If the triangle is spinning, there is a leak somewhere in your water system. Leak Detection: If the triangle indicates a leak the most probable cause is the “flapper valve” in your toilet. There is an Easy test you can use to determine if it is. Lift the lid from the toilet tank and place a small amount of food colouring or dye in the water. Wait a few minutes and if the dye appears in the toilet bowl your “flapper valve” is leaking and needs to be replaced.

Disposable Not Flushable Please No Wipes in the Pipes!! Your toilet is not a trash can. Baby wipes, feminine, cleaning and disinfectant wipes, as well as toilet bowl scrubbers and some heavy duty paper towels might be labeled as flushable but these items should not be flushed down the toilet or go down the drain. These products do not break down in the sewer system and can cause plugs in sewer pipes and pumps, resulting in sewer backups, costly cleanups and sewage plant equipment replacement which can result in rate increases. What You Can Do To Help! 1. Do not flush objects down the toilet such as wipes, diapers, feminine hygiene products, Q-tips or dental floss. 2. Dispose of these items in your trash receptacle. 3. Inform those who clean your house or business of the proper disposal methods for these items. More information contact Town Hall at 613-2834124 ext 5502 SNOWBIRDS!! Contact the Town Hall if you want your water turned off before you fly south and avoid being charged for services. Please contact 613-283-4124 ext 1149 Due to safety concern and the upcoming winter season we must request that residents move rocks, hedges, garden borders, bricks, debris, etc. which encroach on town property 1 m back from the sidewalk or 3 m back from the roadway. We request this work be done as items may be drawn into the snow removal equipment causing risk of injury to operators, persons nearby and/or property. Please be advised it’s an offence to deposit snow on town property. FINES: Use of Streets By-law 5783-91

Mirror, mirror - reflections on Snow White
Community - Ah to be the centre of attention of othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reflections. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a daunting life of responsibility being but a spirit of the mirror. I am Speak True (David Wright), Queen Caligulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Sheila Jasiak) all seeing all truthful mirror on the wall. Fresh from my duties in the Smiths Falls Santa Claus parade, I foresee much in the future for Snow White (Paris Healey) and her Seven Dwarfish friends (Nathaniel Flinn, Samuel Flinn, Charles Fox-Doran, Daniel Chatwood Samuel Chatwood, Jeremy Jasiak, Grace Lee). But I get ahead of myself here because as much as we all know Snow White to be the fairest one of all, there is still the Queen to contend
with who believes she has claim to that title. Some say she is evil and they may be right but Blackwing (Jerry Logan) her faithful right hand man would defend her by saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;she is just misunderstood.â&#x20AC;? However, Blackwing himself admits to being evil through and through though only on the inside where it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really count! I also see that this duo of malicious schemers have hired two wicked woodsmen of the wild wood, Bogwort the self admitted brains of the pair (Slade Stoodley) and the hygienically challenged Stinkwort, (Garrett Pipher) to take care of Snow Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alleged beauty, but not if the warm hearted Dame Dolly Dumpling (Stephen McWade), the Queens
royal housekeeper and her happy go lucky son Danny Dumpling (Tanner Flinn) have anything to do with it. Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scent of Fairies in the air and that can only signify one thing, that Goodheart (Tanya Parent), a student fairy under the mentorship of senior fairy Wonderwings (Kim Chatwood) means that all is being magically watched and guided from afar. How will Snow White fare? Will good triumph evil? Are apples really a healthy alternative snack to sweets? Speak True sees all and this he knows for sure. Tickets for our matinee shows are almost sold out but check with our box office to find out for sure there
may be one or two left for you. But fear not and to avoid disappointment there are plenty of good tickets available to all our other shows. For I am Speak True and I cannot tell a lie. The fun starts at the Station Theatre Thursday, Dec 5 at 7:30 p.m. and continues Dec. 6, 7, Dec 13, 14 also at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. So come out and join us as we frolic into this wonderful pre-Christmas tradition of telling a well-loved fairy tale in a superfantasticallyamazing fashion!

talents. The school offers them specialized courses that are valued in the industry and allows the kids to earn credits that are career specific towards Red Seal certification. “The Red Seal is a special indicator on a high school diploma that shows a student has completed a SHSM and in some colleges that will advance the student to second year or in some industries helps them get hired,” said Keech. Getting a program like this off the ground isn’t easy. “It’s a fair bit of administrative work. We had to apply for the program through the Ministry of Education and the application process itself is quite in depth, and then we have to do quite a bit of reporting on the types of workshops we’ll be offering and, the certifications and expertise the students will be exposed to,” said Keech. Though it sounds daunting it was clear at the Arts Gala on Thursday that both the teachers in the arts department and the students were excited about the program. “It’s really a program about getting students engaged in school,” added Keech, “and showing them that school has practical application in the real world.”

Community – It’s no secret that the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute has an excellent arts program, and on Thursday, Nov. 21 the school held an Arts Gala not only to showcase student talent but also to launch a new program. The program is called the Arts and Culture Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) and is designed to open new doors for students whose interests are in the arts. “We’ve always had a strong arts program which is why it was a natural fit,” said Nancy Keech, vice principal. The performances and interactive arts activities at the gala certainly showcased some impressive talent and dedication from both the students and their enthusiastic teachers. “We started to see that there was some real potential to have a SHSM program here,” said Kristine MacLaren, arts department head and the lead for the new SHSM. The school has been running a hospitality SHSM for the past five years, but this is the first year they’ve introduced an Arts and Culture SHSM.
“It’s a way to capture those kids who may not fit into the standard academic programs in the senior grades,” said MacLaren, who heads up the school’s glee club – the RedHawk Rythmics. Although the ministry program is geared to Grade 11 and 12 students, SFDCI is encouraging students in lower grades to start participating sooner if they think that’s a path that suits their interests. “We’ll scoop them up in Grade 9 and 10 and we’ll work with their English and math teachers so they can apply those subjects to their major, and still complete the curriculum,” explained MacLaren. The program incorporates contextualized learning activities, so a music arts student might write a song or do a rap for the poetry component of English class. In business class they might learn how to pull together a business plan for their desktop publishing major, etc. The Arts and Culture SHSM covers a wide range of arts programs including photography, music, drama, media, communications, dance, and the list goes on. With the help of guidance coordinators students can tailor their secondary school curriculum to suit their interests and

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - December 4, 1913 A largely attended congregational meeting was held in the William street Presbyterian church last night, when the congregation ratified by a unanimous vote the action taken at a joint meeting of the session and managers in voting Rev. Mr. Coburn, the retiring pastor, a salary at the rate of $1800 a year from the 1st of July to the end of December. Mr. Wm. Hyndman occupied the chair and in a few well chosen words explained the object of the meeting to those present and expressed the regret of the elders and managers at Rev. Mr. Coburn’s departure. Rev. Mr. Coburn and Mrs. Coburn were then called on, Mr. Hyndman explained to them the action taken by the congregation.
50 YEARS AGO - December 5, 1963 For the first time in its North American history, the Young Men’s Christian Association has approached a community to request that the YMCA be allowed to conduct an extensive survey with a view to possibly establishing its services. The rule in the past has been that the organization is invited by the community. This change in procedure was announced on Tuesday evening by Edgar E. Smee, project director for the YMCA who received permission from Town Council to bring a team of “Y” personnel into the area to study the requirements of its services. Mr. Smee announced that through the Recreation Committee.

25 YEARS AGO - December 7, 1988 Decorating Christmas trees is not the only type of tree trimming going on at this time of year. Smiths Falls residents may have noticed the public works crews along with D and D Tree Removal Services, busily sawing trees around town. This tree trimming and removal is part of the town’s annual tree program, which has been in effect for about 25 years according to Public Works Director Don Willoughby. “Most of the trees we take down are trees that we’ve trimmed in the past,” he said. About 20 trees were slated to be removed this year and another 20 to be trimmed. Mr. Willoughby himself does most of the inspections of the trees. “Basically its a visual thing,” he explained adding that the town does receive calls from residents reporting trees which might be hazardous.

Making accidental snow angels still causes laughter
O
pinion - Winter. Even the most optimistic Canadians agree it’s here. For those of us who didn’t grow up here we’ve been experiencing winter for the past two months. Yes, for me it starts in October when the temperature drops below 12 degrees Celsius. Growing up, winter was a one-month event that saw temperature of about 10 to 13 degrees (above zero), and sunny. Imagine what my first Canadian winter was like. It is an indelible memory that has, over the years, provided much laughter, though at the time it was fairly traumatic. It was January, 1987. I was living in Toronto and working in Guelph. I had a new car and the commute on slushy highways had left my car in dire need of a wash. It was the weekend and I was staying with friends after my roommate moved back to the U.S. while I looked for a new apartment. It was a Sunday afternoon and I took it into my head to kill the time washing my car. Tabor and Loretta (my hosts) seemed to think that was a splendid idea, and they helped me find a couple of buckets, a sponge and rubber gloves. They helped me with my coat and hat, and I headed out armed with my buckets of warm water. They stood poker faced at the window. I waved at them cheerfully and then got down to the business of cleaning my car. I
10 YEARS AGO - December 3, 2003 Once again, Smiths Falls will set the tone for the CPR Holiday Train as it embarks on its fifth annual crosscountry tour to rally support for Canada’s food banks. The decorated freight train, lit up with thousands of coloured light bulbs, will leave from Montreal in the afternoon and make its first official stop here in town this Saturday, Dec. 6 pulling in to the Victoria Avenue station around 9 p.m. Once again this year, the Holiday Train co-ordinators at the Canadian Pacific Railway will sponsor a free half-hour show from its stage car. It will feature some of Canada’s best known and up-and-coming entertainers.
HOWAIDA SOROUR Heddy’s Ramble took the sponge, squeezed some of the excess water out and enthusiastically slapped it onto my car where to my utter surprise it stuck. I was so shocked I fell backwards into the snow and made my first accidental snow angel. The look on my face must have been priceless because when I looked up at the window, there were my friends doubled up in spasms. Lesson number one. Canadians have a twisted sense of humour! Sure, intellectually, I knew that water froze below 0 degrees Celsius. I also completely understood what had just happened to my sponge from a purely physics perspective. But this was OUTDOORS not in a walk-in freezer. Sigh. That first winter I had a heck of a time getting my head around the notion that water could/would/did freeze outdoors – as in entire lakes freeze. There is only one way to make ice in Egypt - in the freezer. While I did survive that first winter and even enjoyed it – it was Toronto after all – I do dis-
tinctly remember my total fascination with the way rain would fall on my car and freeze as the wipers pushed it to the side – it still amazes me that I didn’t run anything or anyone over that winter. I left Toronto in 1988 and came to Ottawa. Yeah. In 1989 I moved to North Augusta, to Land ‘O Nod Road. My family in Egypt still talks about those letters. I bought a beautiful old, three layer brick farmhouse on Land ‘O Nod Road. It was huge and it had a wood shed and storm windows. The kitchen was new. It had been renovated out of the ‘addition,’ what I later found out had been the summer kitchen. When the temperature outside dropped below 10 degrees, I had to put my kitten’s bowl of milk in the fridge so that it wouldn’t freeze overnight. You try explaining that to someone who has never experienced temperatures below zero, along with the address, I think my family thought I had finally lost it – an event they had been expecting for years! You all take this completely in your stride; you’ve even devised all kinds of amusements around this weather. You skate, you ski, you play hockey, you ice fish (WHY?) you snow shoe and snowmobile.

Bob Cheetham told council he’s most proud of the partnerships he’s helped build in the community. collaboration in the community in terms of capacity building, whether with the chamber of commerce, the Local Immigration Partnership, the arts and culture council or heritage,” said Cheetham. He has, without a doubt, left behind a far more cohesive town than the one he walked into. “He was a good face for the town; he was the kind of man that people felt comfortable around,” agreed Coun. Dawn Quinn. As far as Cheetham was concerned, that was the most urgent
task if the town was to regain its focus on economic growth and development. “It was always about building partnerships in a community,” he said. If there was one thing that surprised him when he arrived it was the lack of long term financial planning, he said, even though it was partially understandable given the manufacturing and service losses that had bombarded Smiths Falls.

A letter writer from Africa seeks help
DEAR EDITOR: I live in Africa, a long way from Smiths Falls. But I am trying to find members of a Canadian family who helped me overcome serious adversity in the 1980s. I want them to know how grateful I am. I am now a Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) working for an oil company in Uganda, engaged in extensive travel and other business responsibilities. I became handicapped when I was young and started using crutches for walking. I was also poor and had very limited prospects.
But Mrs. Judy Thomson, her husband Ken and daughters Rebecca and Judy stepped into my life and gave me hope and much practical assistance. Unfortunately, I have lost all contact with them. I know that they lived in the Smiths Falls area in the past. If you read this letter, Judy and family, please contact me. And if you know where I might reach them, please contact me. My email address is: chluzinda@yahoo.com.

After 27 winters I am still trying really hard to embrace your winter and not ask myself, “What was I thinking?” I have learned how to skate, and hope to cross-country ski this year and take another gander and downhill skiing but other than making accidental snow angels I have yet to master any of these things. So when you see me looking like the Michelin Man out there, try not to laugh, this dark-skinned woman was frankly not designed for this weather and while the mind is willing the body is struggling.

News – Monday, Nov. 18 was Bob Cheetham’s last day in Smiths Falls as the director of economic development. He has officially retired. Still, he was at council that night to summarize where the town had been when he joined the team in January, 2010, what has been accomplished and what still needs to happen. “I’m going to miss working here; I’ve been trying to establish this office so when the next person walks in, they have everything they need to get started right away,” said Cheetham in an interview last week. When Cheetham arrived in Smiths Falls, he found a town still reeling from job losses, lacking any strategic focus, fragmented relationships and a poor self image. He knew he had his work cut out for him from the start. “In the 29 years I have served on council in terms of not only Smiths Falls but my involvement with other municipalities as well, Bob was probably one of the most skilled economic development practitioners that I’ve come across,” said Mayor Dennis Staples. “We were very fortunate to have him here in Smiths Falls.” If there is one thing that Cheetham is proud of having had a hand in, it’s the partnerships he developed. “I think more than anything, I’m proud of the broad sense of
Cheetham worked on was the Turning Point document that was the culmination of a number of reviews including the Tourism Master Plan, the Downtown Revitalization Plan, the Waterfront Redevelopment Plan and the Arts and Culture Policy. “I worked with Bob on the Turning Point document and he was very committed and easy to work with,” said Quinn. Cheetham said he had hoped to see the 1.8-million square feet of empty industrial and commercial spaces filled before he left. “I’m pleased that we have Tweed in the old Hershey plant but I’ve worked on many development opportunities over the three years I was working here, and I would have liked to have seen it completely full with jobs created,” he said. His departure on Monday leaves the town without an economic development department. “We need to go out and looking for another Bob Cheetham, someone with the enthusiasm that Bob had,” said Quinn. Meanwhile, Cheetham, a former police officer, former and avid antique dealer and musician (he played the trumpet and saxophone) is going to need some time to adjust to retirement. “The biggest difficulty is going to be finding the balance in life, because I’ve spent 43 years working, I’ll continue doing some consulting work, but I have no intention of working full time again,” he concluded.

Parade fun lights up the night The Smiths Falls Santa Claus Parade was a hit among those who braved the weather to watch the event, which was an evening show this year. These are just some of the scenes from the parade that meandered from the community centre to the Kinsmen Park. Far left, two young members of the Smiths Falls JKA Karate wave to those lining the streets. Left, the Algonquin College Perth Campus float was brightly lit. Below, the moment everyone waited for: the glimpse of Santa Claus as he travels down Beckwith Street.

Eye disease specialist opens clinic By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
News – There’s a new clinic in town that will save a lot of people the long trip to Kingston. Dr. Sanjay Sharma, an internationally-recognized retina specialist, has now opened a Macula Clinic at Cornelia Court in Smiths Falls. “We heard from our patients that traveling to Kingston for their eye injections was very difficult for them and their family members. While our patients still have to have specialized testing done in Kingston, we think establishing a clinic in Smiths Falls provides better care for patients in this and surrounding areas,” said Sharma, professor of ophthalmology and epidemiology at Queen’s University who completed his training in retinal diseases at Harvard University. Eventually Sharma hopes to be able to have diagnostic testing done locally as well. The move is part of Queen’s University’s push to see that patients in their LHINs receive timely access to medical care in their own communities. “These treatments have made a huge impact on the quality of life of our patients. We think that being able to do the procedures in the Smiths Falls area will lessen the burden on patients and their family members,” said Sharma who has authored more than 200 scientific articles on retinal disease. “Our research shows that without timely treatment, patients can lose vision within a matter of weeks.” As Sharma explained, the macula is the small central part in the back of the eye that allows people to see fine detail. It’s essential for activities like reading, driving and recognizing faces. In both age-related macular degeneration and diabetes, the macula can become very wet with fluid which ultimately destroys vision. Since 2007, the conditions can be treated with medications Dr Sanjay Sharma, internationally recognized retina specialist, treats a that are injected directly into the eye according to Sharma. patient suffering from macular degeneration.
The treatments have been shown to stabilize vision in 95 per cent of people and significantly improve vision in nearly half of patients. In the Belleville and Brockville area, patients are already benefiting from the presence of Macula Clinics in their areas. Daphne Hall, a patient with the wet form of macular degeneration, who used to travel to Kingston for her eye injections, is benefiting from having the procedure done locally. “We are so appreciative of the doctors coming here. I no longer have to worry about how I am going to get back and forth to Kingston,” said Hall. Sharma is also an active researcher and among his areas of research he and his team look at how medications delivered through the eye can affect conditions like stroke and heart disease and is knowledgeable on those concerns. He’s also passionate about educating the public and patients about the signs of macula degeneration and what it is. He and his team have developed a series of clear and informative animations about eye problems and their treatment. To learn more about macular diseases and watch animations about these eye problems, visit his website at www. drsanjaysharma.ca. “If you notice new distortion or sudden vision loss, it is critical that you be urgently assessed by your eye doctor. Timely intervention is the key to retaining and potentially restoring lost vision,” said Sharma, For now the clinic hours in Smiths Falls are not fixed. “Hours will be variable to start, but we will be booking patients ahead and letting people know,” said Sharma. Eventually he thinks that clinic hours will settle into one day a week, likely Mondays. The local clinic is located at 91 Cornelia St. W. in Smiths Falls. To be referred to the clinic, call 613-544-3400, ext. 2227.

Year 15 for Smiths Falls Civitan Club’s Festival of the Trees Dec. 4 to 6 Events – The local Civitan Club is getting into the Christmas spirit early in December, with their “15th Annual Festival of the Trees” from Dec. 4-6. Chairperson Ginny Findley is looking forward to another busy and successful year. This is Findley’s third year working with the project and her first as chair. She says she is looking forward to the new challenge. “This is one of our big fundraisers and the membership really gets behind it,” she said. “But a big thank you goes out to the local businesses who every year show their giving spirit and they are who makes this a success.” Joining Findley on her committee this year are Irene Richardson, Bonnie Laming, Mary Lou Linton, Colleen Porter, Jeanette Crawford and Carolyn Trenholme. The festival runs from Tuesday, Dec. 3 and concludes with the tree auction and raffle drawings on Friday evening at the local Civitan Hall. Starting Tuesday the committee will be present at the hall to accept tree sponsors. Businesses who are decorating a tree for the festival, decorate their trees on Tuesday between 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. One of the highlights of the festival is “the Gala Dinner” on Wednesday evening where guests get into the spirit dining amongst the trees. This event is catered by the Civitan membership under the lead of club chef Gib Hodge. This evening is usually a sellout and always a memorable meal. Thursday evening from 6-9 p.m. the club will be open for a public viewing of the trees and raffle prizes at which time tickets can be purchased on raffle prizes. “Every year local businesses like A & B Ford, Edgetown, Town & Country Chrysler, Rob Roy’s, RCL Automotive, Co-Operators, and Garden Market to mention a few are back to support

Restoring an old relic Community - Jack Walker, a Smiths Falls veteran, built this replica of HMCS Haida, the Tribal-class destroyer that sank more enemy ship tonnage than any other Canadian warship in the Second World War, for Expo ‘67. It went on to become a tourist attraction along the Rideau and Ottawa rivers for many years and by 1980 had garnered more than one million visitors. When Walker passed away in 2007, a family friend, Dave Patridge took it upon himself to store it with the idea of one day restoring it to its former glory. Now Greg Brady is heading up a committee to restore the boat, which sleeps three. Shown here Brady (left) lends a hand as John McLaughlin, owner of Rideau Ferry Harbour, secures the boat before moving the 50-foot replica to a more suitable location for restoration.

way through the final period Leeson, assisted by Barnett, opened the scoring. With the goalie pulled late in third, the Nationals increased the pressure. The nail-biting final few minutes of play were made even more exciting with Kelly’s rapid and successive saves and Percy’s shot block to save the game and, as it turned out, the tournament. The Kings would walk away with a 1-0 victory with the shutout going to Kelly. The Kings would have to wait late into the night to learn they had earned a spot in the semi-final round. With no time to celebrate the Kings returned to the ice for an early re-match against the first place Kitchener Rangers. The game remained scoreless at the end of the first period but with a quick powerplay goal by the Rangers in the second period it became apparent that redemption for the earlier loss would not come easy for netminder Nadeau. The Kings responded soon after with a Barnett signature slapshot goal from the point by assisted by Manderson and Cordick. Before the second period ended Cotnam scored what would turn out to be the game winning goal with assists going to Nash and Keller. It was this goal that gave the Kings the confidence they needed to increase their forecheck and throw the smooth passing Rangers off their game. With the goalie pulled and an extra attacker on the ice, the Rangers fought hard to take the game into overtime with a slapshot from the point. Through the screen, Nadeau was able to punch the puck to the corner with a beautiful blocker save. The 2-1 win earned the Kings their spot in the final. Having bounced back from two initial losses in the tournament and landed in the final game the Kings craved victory. The undefeated Sarnia Jr. Sting proved to be a very physical opponent. It was a goalie’s game for the first seven or eight minutes with end-to-end action but the Kings would overcome penalty trouble and put the first marker on the board with a trademark goal from Barnett, assisted by Patterson. After receiving the puck from Keller, Shankar would seize the opportunity to rush it during a bad shift change by the Sting to put the Kings up 2-0. The first period ended with a 2-1 lead for the Kings. Assisted by Cordick and Keller, Nash would score a powerplay goal early in the second period. Before the second period ended Leeson assisted Keller on the final goal of the game to put the Kings in the lead 4-1. Steadfast goaltending by Nadeau would hold the score at 4-1 in favour of the Kings. Coaches Phil Patterson, Gauri Shankar, Brad Nash and trainer Dave Lannin, along with all the parents who made the trip were very proud of the boys’ efforts and accomplishments. Go Kings go!

Major bantam Kings celebrate second tournament victory
Sports – The Rideau St. Lawrence major bantam AA Kings, who feature three players from Smiths Falls – Ethan Percy, Tate Leeson and Nick Nadeau – travelled to Waterloo the weekend of Nov. 15 to compete in the Waterloo Memorial Tournament. Whether it was the five-hour drive or the excitement of another weekend away, the Kings got off to an unusually sluggish start. The tournament opener against the Waterloo Wolves Gold found the Kings fighting back from two quick goals against them in the second period. Late in second period Drew Cotnam dumped the puck into the corner creating an opportunity for Theo Todd who, despite being hauled down to his back in front of the net, managed to get his stick on the puck and slide it through the five hole of the Waterloo goalie. On a mission, Tyler Manderson stepped over the blue line and wired an arching shot that found its way into the net early in the third period. With the score tied at 2-2 the Kings comeback eased off when they found themselves in penalty trouble. Despite the solid goaltending of Hudson Kelly along with the strong defensive play of Cameron McLean, Tanner Barnett, Ethan Percy, Brett Lannin and Jacob Shankar that allowed the Kings to kill of the penalties, it just wouldn’t be enough. Two quick goals by the Wolves in the last minute of play would seal the fate of the Kings with a 4-2 loss. Later that day the Kings would face the higherranked Kitchener Rangers. Still looking for their legs the Kings fought hard all game but could not put the puck past the hot Rangers goaltender. Nick Nadeau worked hard to close the door on the Rangers for the entire first period but eventually gave up two goals in the second and another in the third to end the game with a 3-0 loss. With the dawn of a new day the Kings came out hard and fast against the familiar Seaway Valley Rapids squad. Kelly remained solid in net to allow Todd to open the scoring in the first period with a power play goal. Seaway tied it up at 1-1 early in the second period. Tate Leeson scored a go ahead goal before the end of the second period assisted by Brett Lannin. It would be a fruitful third period for the kings with four more goals scored by Michael Urban, Nolan Cordick, another for Leeson and one for Randy Keller and Todd, Leeson, Shawn Patterson, Percy, Lannin, Shankar, Brad Nash and Cordick all credited with assists. The final score of 6-1 in favour of the Kings was a key turning point in the tournament. Heading into game four the Kings knew that not only were they in a must-win situation but they would also need a little help to have any chance of advancing to the semi-finals. In his second game of the day, Kelly continued to give the Kings every opportunity by remaining solid in net as they faced the North London Nationals. Two thirds of the

All three cars in this story are parked in Herm’s driveway with Herm’s 1967 Silver Shadow flanked by son Greg’s ’69 Mustang fastback and son Bob’s 1994 Jaguar V-12 convertible.
Mustang has been in same family for 44 years Lifestyle – In 1969, tomato farmer Herm Dick purchased a new Mustang fastback with a 302 V8 and automatic transmission from Slater Motors in Leamington for $3,900. Herm and his wife Elizabeth enjoyed driving the car. Eventually, Herm gave the car to their son Dennis, who courted his wife in the Mustang. Herm later bought it back from Dennis for $500 and passed it along to son Greg, who still owns it today. About ten years ago, the Mustang was fully restored by Dennis Pilon, who demonstrated the perfect fit between the hood and front fenders by rolling a marble from the windshield all the way to the front of the car. This Mustang has now been in the same family for 44 years. Son Bob purchased his white 1994 Jaguar V-12 convertible from a dealer in Windsor in 2006. This past summer, he was standing beside his car in Tecumseh accompanied by Herm’s daughter Joan Epp and grand-daughter Jessica, this year’s Leamington Tomato Queen. MPP Percy Hatfield approached Bob and wondered why he was standing beside his car! A quick look at the license plate ended the confusion. Percy has an identical car and for a moment thought
Bob’s car was his car. Bob and Percy own cars with a distinguished history. Jaguar Cars Limited was founded in 1945 and produced many sleek-looking convertibles and sedans that raced at Le Mans. In recent years, the emphasis has been on luxury, and some owners claim a Jaguar built today is quieter than a Rolls-Royce! And that brings us to Herm’s 1967 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, purchased earlier this year from a young man in Richmond Hill, Ontario, who had received it from his father. On a nice sunny day recently, Herm treated Catherine and me to a ride all around Leamington in regal splendour. Herm’s Rolls has serial #SRX2386 and I am now doing some detective work to uncover the earlier ownership history of this lefthand-drive car.

The history of Rolls-Royce dates back to 1904 when Manchester electrical engineer Henry Royce teamed up with the Hon. C. S. Rolls to build high quality automobiles. The first few models had two, three, and four cylinder engines, followed by six cylinders. In 1959, Rolls brought out a 6231 cc V8 engine. The 1965 Silver Shadow introduced unit construction and all-around independent suspension. Herm’s ’67 Silver Shadow was built two years later and still looks like new! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Hydro One offers tips to prevent electrical fires News – Electrical fires accounted for nine per cent of all structural fires between 2007 and 2011. • Keep electrical cords away from heat and water as they can both damage the insulation and create a shock hazard. • Avoid octopus outlets. Clusters of wires and plugs can be a fire hazard along with using extension cords as permanent wiring. • Put safety caps on any unused elec-
trical outlets, especially if there are young children in the house. • Buy appliances approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and always disconnect small appliances before cleaning them. • When you’re changing a light bulb, be sure to turn off the switch or circuit. • If you’re renovating, remember all electrical work must be inspected and approved by the Electrical Safety Authority. This inspection must be done
prior to covering any wiring with drywall or any other wall/ceiling materials. • When purchasing a new home, get an electrical inspection before signing on the dotted line. It will show you if any updates to the wiring are required to bring the house up to code.

Lawrence catches fire again in Hunger Games sequel MOVIE: Catching Fire STARRING: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Donald Sutherland DIRECTOR: Francis Lawrence RATING: PG Arts – The world of The Hunger Games is dark, but there’s also something very gripping about it. Catching Fire takes us further into this story as the Games, the Capitol’s tool of oppression, becomes the spark of rebellion. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) have returned to District 12 after winning the Hunger Games, but they soon learn what Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) always knew. For victors the Games are never over. The victors are expected to tour the other districts, but there’s been trouble in the districts. Some have seen Katniss’ actions as an act of defiance. President
My Take MARK HASKINS
Snow (Donald Sutherland) tells Katniss that if she and Peeta don’t convince the public of their undying love than the consequences for her and everyone she knows will be grave. With the help of Haymitch and Effie (Elizabeth Banks) Katniss and Peeta do all they can, but it isn’t enough. Katniss is still a symbol of hope that Snow must destroy. To that end, for the 75th Hunger Games, Snow declares that the tributes will be chosen from among past victors. Once again Katniss and Peeta will
have to face the horror of the Games, but there’s a different feeling among the tributes and the people for these Games. Snow hopes to use these Games to squash that feeling. Others hope to use these Games for something else. As Katniss leaves for the arena Haymitch reminds her to remember who the real enemy is. Katniss knows who her enemies are. She also knows in the Games there are no friends. There were some discrepancies between the book and the film. Regardless, Catching Fire is an incredible film. This world with its stark contrast between
poverty and depravity is oddly fascinating. You’re drawn to the story and horrified by it at the same time. The difference I think is Katniss. She begins as a survivor doing what she has to. Then in the face of certain death she chooses to fight, and not just those in the arena, but those who put her there. In such a dark world hers is a story of the brightest hope. Visually this world is brought to life in remarkable detail. Still, without the right cast this world would be dead no matter how good the effects are. And this is the right cast. Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Philip Seymour
Hoffman, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Donald Sutherland are perfect. There just isn’t another word for it. There’s no mistaking the star of this film. Jennifer Lawrence shines brightly as Katniss. Her depth of emotion and sensitivity as an actor are such that it’s impossible to say where Lawrence ends and Katniss begins. I’m still not sure what it says about our society that a story about kids killing kids for entertainment is as popular as it is. I am sure that Catching Fire is an incredible film.

Jingle Bells Dashing throâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the snow In a one horse open sleigh, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er the ďŹ elds we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, O what fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Rudolph Deck the Red-Nosed the Halls Reindeer
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la la. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la la. Troll the ancient Yuletide carole, Fa la la la la la la la la.
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?
See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la la. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la la. While I tell the Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la la.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town You better watch out, You better not cry Better not pout, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna ďŹ nd out Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleeping He knows when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re awake He knows if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! O! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh! A day or two ago I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d his lot He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got up-sot. (Repeat Chorus) Now the ground is white, Go it while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song. Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the lead. (Repeat Chorus)
Frosty the Snowman
Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudolph with your nose so bright, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you drive my sleigh tonight?â&#x20AC;? Then now the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go down in history.â&#x20AC;?
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.
R0012442438_1128
Oh Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be, and the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me. Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go. Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills and snow.

O Holy Night O holy night!

A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn; Fall on your knees; Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky, look down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing the Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh. Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And ďŹ t us for Heaven, to live with Thee there.

O Little Town of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

The Holly and the Ivy The holly and the ivy when they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the woods, The holly bears the crown. The rising of the sun, the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a berry as red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To do poor sinners good. The holly bears a prickle as sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas Day in the morn.

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. And by the light of the same star, Three wisemen came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went.
This star drew nigh to the north-west, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Hail, the heaven born Prince of peace! Hail, the Son o Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings, Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon bended knee, And offered there, in His presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

Drugs and driving – a deadly combination offence under the Criminal Code of Canada. Most jurisdictions also have sanctions under highway traffic acts. In 2011, more than 90,000 impaired driving charges were laid in Canada. This number, however, represents only a fraction of the impaired drivers on our roads. • There is a growing body of drug recognition experts (DRE) in Canada, who work to enforce penalties for driving under the influence of drugs. In cases where impairment by drugs is suspected, sobriety tests are being used to check for the source of impairment. A DRE can be called in to access the condition of a suspected impaired driver and may collect or arrange to collect a swab, urine or blood sample. If the results come back positive for the suspected drug or drugs, charges can be laid under the Criminal Code of Canada. • Female drivers are almost equally likely as males to test positive for drugs. • Driving after cannabis use is more commonplace among those ages 15 to 24 than drinking and driving, according to a 2013 report by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. In that age group, 12.6 per cent surveyed admitted to driving after cannabis use; this compares to 10.7 per cent who drove after drinking. • Young drivers between 16 and 24 lead the way in fatalities that involved alcohol and/or drugs. According to statistics from the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, 27.6 per cent of fatalities among this age group were impaired by alcohol. Compare this with 26.9 per cent of fatalities who were impaired by drugs. Aware of licensing restrictions and initiatives that catch and punish drunk drivers, some people are turning from alcohol to substances such as drugs to achieve a high. But as the statistics indicate, the outcomes are even more – not less – dangerous and deadly. • Among fatally injured drivers 55 and older, drug use is more prevalent than alcohol. • The most common drugs found in fatalities are central nervous system depressants, cannabis, stimulants and narcotics.
Recommendations • Be proactive and stop drugged driving before it happens. • Be responsible. Never drive when impaired. • Do not combine drugs and alcohol. • Do not use illegal drugs. The impairment caused by illegal drugs can take hours and even days to wear off. • Do not use drugs of any variety to get high. • Know the side effects of your medications. Read the inserts that come with your medications and speak with your pharmacist about the drugs’ possible impacts on your driving abilities. • Be aware that drugs interact with each other. Review your list of medications with your pharmacist. • Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of your medication if alcohol is consumed. • With prescription and overthe-counter drugs, abuse or misuse can happen and needs to be recognized and corrected. This means that you should not exceed recommended dosages. You should not take someone else’s medicine, or use medicine to get high. Further, it means that you should read and respect labels and warnings. • As a host, monitor your guests’ behaviour. Monitoring or preventing drug use can be difficult. You need to be watching your guests for signs of unusual behaviour, such as jitters or unexplained mood-swings. If you suspect someone is impaired, speak up and make alternate, safe arrangements for transportation. • If you have friends or family members who use illegal drugs, clearly communicate to them that your home is not a place where they can get high. Be sympathetic and supportive by encouraging them to get the help they need to overcome their addiction. • Do not get in a vehicle if the driver is impaired. Make every safe effort to stop an impaired person from operating a vehicle. • Report impaired driving to the police. Whether by drugs, alcohol, fatigue or some other contributing factor, there is no excuse for impaired driving.

Lifestyle – The holiday season brings with it familiar and necessary messages reminding Canadians to drive sober. While impairment behind the wheel is most often associated with alcohol, motorists are also gambling with their safety and the safety of others by driving under the influence of drugs. These drugs include illegal substances, prescription medications and over-the-counter remedies. “Unfortunately, people are more afraid of being caught than being killed,” said Jack Smith, president of the Canada Safety Council. “They don’t think it’s going to happen to them until it happens.” This National Safe Driving Week, from Dec. 1 to 7, the Canada Safety Council seeks to educate Canadians that driving while under the influence of drugs is dangerous, irresponsible, illegal and becoming increasingly prevalent. It is posing a significant public safety risk that needs to be curbed through preventative measures, awareness and the enforcement of appropriate penalties. Drugged driving facts • The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse reports that more than a third – 35.3 per cent – of fatally injured drivers in Canada tested positive for impairing drugs in 2009. This compares with 40.9 per cent of driver fatalities in the same year where alcohol was the source of impairment. Simply put, drugged driving is just as deadly and prevalent as drunk driving. It is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. • Serious injury, driver or passenger death, hurting bystanders, destroying property, lost productivity, more strain on the health-care system – these are just some of the unfortunate, painful and yet totally preventable consequences of driving while impaired by drugs. • Drug-involved fatal crashes are more likely than alcoholinvolved crashes to occur during the daytime hours on weekdays. • Drugs are impairing because they reduce drivers’ reaction times and their attention to the task of driving. • Impaired driving is an
