Accidental find may solve water woes Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Montague Township will be monitoring the water levels in Atironto this week and into the coming months following the discovery of an opened water valve on Fifth Street. “I think we found the problem,” said Ron Haskins, the township’s ﬁre chief who is also tasked with checking the water meters in the community. “Once we got the valve turned off I think everything’s going to work out.” Last Monday township work crews were across the street from the point of interest on Fifth Street plotting out gas lines in preparation for further work to try and stop the runaway water issue in the community when they heard the sound of rushing water on their machines. They followed the noise to a resident’s home where they found a sinkhole and began to dig. What they found was a water valve for the home adjacent to it bent into the ground, while

a second valve was sticking out of the ground as it should be. It is suspected the valve was turned on to repair water issues to the home never realizing the valve sticking out of the ground was intended for future development and was not connected to any dwelling. Glenn Barnes, CAO for the township said if this valve is the culprit for the high water usage in Atironto the township will continue to monitor the situation for at least a few more months to ensure water usage doesn’t dip again. Haskins is optimistic this discovery will resolve the persistent water bills residents have been paying for years, but admits the process of isolating each suspected cause and testing it was lengthy. “We were a long time ﬁnding it, I have to admit it,” Haskins said. Barnes conﬁrmed the reading was done Dec. 1, but said he wouldn’t be able to release the information until March. “It’s premature for us to release any

information until we have gone through a billing period,” Barnes said. Residents of Atironto are now holding their breath and hoping the discovered water valve will signify the end of $400-$800 water bills. Now, residents like Nancy Lumsden are focusing on what the township will do to correct this error that has cost residents so much. “It was a simple mistake, but nobody wants to own up to it,” Lumsden added. “We should be compensated for that.” Delegation Atironto residents ﬁlled the township council lounge Nov. 25 to hear Molly King present a series of questions to the current council regarding the water in the subdivision. “I think if we get answers to these we won’t have to re-address it again,” King said during her delegation. Questions (which were submitted to the township on Thursday before the meeting) ranged from requests for docuSee WATER page SF2

News – After four weeks on the Build a Mountain of Food campaign trail, organizer Hugh Colton is proud to report that they are right on target. But what he’s most impressed with after his weekend in Elgin and Westport, is that these two “small but mighty communities” brought in a whopping cash count. “Look at these numbers… $12,500 from these two communities in cash donations. That’s huge,” he said Monday as he finalized his figures from the weekend, with just two more weeks remaining in the 11-community food campaign. “I’m surprised,” he added. “The cash count has always blown me away. The pound count (of items of food collected) is a little down, but it balances out at the end of the day.” In Elgin, the campaign was set up at Gordanier’s Grocery Store where they were able to

50 banana boxes from Quattrocchi’s and that’s another 2,100 pounds for that food bank.” Those numbers have not been counted into the figures for the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, but that is the plan, Colton said. There was another $2,000 donation on Wednesday night from the Perth Civitan Club. A new partnership has reared its head for the campaign as the Lanark County Ambulance Service has offered to collect food in Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place this weekend at several grocery stores. Not to be double-dipping, Colton said, but perhaps it will be a way for those who have used the service of the paramedics to have a chance to donate to the cause. “Or perhaps some people may have wanted to donated, but missed the opportunity,” he said. “We’re hoping it will be successful, and they have indicated they want to do it on an annual basis.” Look for the EMS teams out at Barnabe’s Independent Gro-

cer in Perth on Saturday morning, then in Smiths Falls at Food Basics that afternoon. On Sunday, the ambulance will be on site at Patrice’s Independent in Almonte in the morning and at Steve’s Independent in Carleton Place that afternoon. Week five will take Colton and the crew to the Portland Food Market on Saturday, Dec. 6, 9 a.m. to noon with all donations to the Portland Food Bank. From 1 to 4 p.m. the Merrickville Food Market will be busy during its annual Christmas in Merrickville, as donations to the campaign will be given to the Merrickville Lions Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign. Finally, on Saturday Dec. 13 from 9 a.m. to noon, Colton will wrap his road-touring campaign with final stops at the Athens Fresh Mark, with all donations to the Athens Food bank, and from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Delta Country Market with all donations to the Delta Food Bank.

In Westport, they collected $6,240.40 and another 585 pounds of food for the Westport Food Bank. “We had Jim McGlade and his crew at St. Edward’s Church collect an amazing $1,401 in their loonies and toonies drive, and Neil Kudrinko donated another $1,000 on top of what we collected that day. He had $5, $10 and $15 gift cards that got us another $400,” Colton said.

LAWS membership at odds with process of electing new board of directors akulp@perfprint.ca

Ashley Kulp/METROLAND

Ontario Landowners Association president Jeff Bogaerts, who facilitated the annual general meeting of the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) Nov. 30 at the Carleton Place Legion, discusses the organization’s bylaws with a member. A slate of 15 board members was acclaimed during the meeting. However, the packed hall of members immediately took issue with that process. Former board president Hoyland indicated directors are to be voted in by the membership at the AGM. “…We (membership) have no idea who the directors are. We need to know who they are and we have to vote,” she said. “We don’t know if the membership wants these particular people as directors of this organization.” Incoming director Piche said that the process followed was sat-

isfactory. “There were 14 nominations, there was a call for nominations from the floor and you have 15 board members. They are automatically acclaimed,” he stated. Bogaerts agreed. “Fifteen board members are needed, there were 15 nominees. There was no 16th nominee, therefore there will be no vote, therefore they are acclaimed,” he reiterated. Former treasurer of LAWS, Joan Schapansky, noted in years past, the membership has “always voted individually for R0012872706_0911

News – The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) has a new slate of directors, but the process of selecting them has the membership concerned. The board of directors was acclaimed during the organization’s annual general meeting (AGM) Nov. 30 at the Carleton Place Royal Canadian Legion. According to LAWS bylaws, a total of 15 director positions are available on the board. A nominations committee, headed up by former LAWS board president Melissa Rusk, had received 14 applications for director positions during the recent nomination process. Nominations were also accepted from the floor during the meeting, at which time acting board president James Kingsley put Rusk’s name forward as the 15th director. The new directors announced during the meeting, include: Rusk, Kingsley, Kathy Hoyland, Cathy Taylor, Jim Piche, Carleton Place deputy mayor Jerry Flynn, Johanne Marshall, Caroline Paterson, Alex Menzies, Tineke Doornbosch, Lauri Maitland, Dan Woods and Dave Linstedt. The official list of the board was not released as of press time. “Given that there are 15 names put forward and in the bylaws it states that there should be no more than 15, there will be no vote held,” noted Jeff Bogaerts, president of the Ontario Landowners Association, who facilitated the AGM.

LAWS’ sister organization, the Perth Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), said her concern is the qualifications of the incoming directors since the membership didn’t know who they were in advance. “My concern in LAWS moving forward into the future to be successful in today’s world…. we don’t know if any of these individuals have the skills that are required,” she said. “To build an organization you have to have a competent group of board members. The members should decide if we have a competent group and there should be a vote on those members.” Rusk noted that a skilled matrix was used to evaluate the skills of each nominee in order to ensure they fit with the organization’s strategic directions. “I can make that matrix available and we can run through these qualifications to see if everyone is in agreement,” she stated.

each director.” “There’s a motion, a seconding, discussion and a vote,” she said. “I understand what you’re saying, but I’m going through the bylaws and I don’t see that,” Bogaerts pointed out. Members also took issue with the fact that they hadn’t been given biographies on each of the board nominees prior to the meeting. Bogaerts indicated that information was available, if they asked and he read out the list of incoming board members. “I asked for documents required to do my job up here. I asked and I got the information I needed,” he stated. “This information was not held back, it was there for anyone who asked for it.” “This is totally inappropriate. It’s not the way it’s been done in the past and it’s not right to just put in all those members,” Schapansky stressed, adding that bylaws state directors should be elected. Susan Roach, a member of

Community Justice unveils new logo, board Habitat for Humanity recruiting families

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lanark County Community Justice (LCCJP) made several exciting changes to their organization at the annual general meeting held on Wednesday, Nov. 26. While continuing to provide the same excellent service throughout Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls as a leader in the use of restorative practices, the organization felt it was time to freshen up their look and unveiled their new logo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LCCJP has come a long way from its origins in 1998,â&#x20AC;? said executive director Beth Peterkin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to look at our branding and update our look.â&#x20AC;? Peterkin, along with program co-ordinator Sheri Halladay, lifted the cloth covering an easel to reveal the new logo which is composed of a stylized â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jâ&#x20AC;? to form a circle, with a definite point on one side. Chair Christine Peringer explained â&#x20AC;&#x153;The circle represents the healing forums we conduct bringing the accused person(s) and the complainants together to heal the harm that has been done in our community, and the point indicates the way forward.â&#x20AC;? The new logo was designed by the board who collected suggestions and ideas from many sourc-

es, combined ideas and narrowed the choices, finally deciding on a colour scheme. Over the next several months, the new logo will be rolled out on the LCCJP website (www.commjustice.org) as well as on letterhead, business cards and promotional materials. The highlight of the evening was an address to the membership by Crown Attorney Kimberly Moore. She first worked in Lanark County as an Assistant Crown Attorney from 2001 to 2010 and was appointed as the Crown Attorney for Lanark County in 2011. Moore spoke passionately about her belief in restorative practices, such as those of the LCCJP and gave the membership some insight into how decisions to refer cases are made. The annual general meeting was held at the Perth Museum and Visitor Centre and was attended by more than 30 people. In addition to the regular business

meeting and the unveiling of the logo, a new board of directors was announced. The term of several directors was complete which left some vacancies on the board. An application process was undertaken over the past six weeks and the new slate was presented to the membership at the annual general meeting by outgoing directors, Karen Smereka and Jim Higginson. Steve Brown, Betty Jo Dean, Jennifer Dickson, Murray Long, Brian Peters, Christine Peringer and Keith Pinkney were accepted as the board of directors for the coming year. For more information about LCCJP and the work that we do, we invite you to contact us at 613-264-1558 or by email at beth@commjustice.org. We are always pleased to receive invitations to speak at service clubs or other community groups. Submitted by Lanark County Community Justice.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region (NCR) is seeking up to 10 families who are interested in partnering with the organization and purchasing a Habitat for Humanity home. Habitat for Humanity NCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeownership model empowers hard-working, lowincome families to invest in homeownership. With the help of generous donors, sponsors and volunteers, Habitat for Humanity NCR builds and renovates simple, decent homes and then sells them to its partner families with no down payment and an interest-free mortgage. The families must be living in inadequate conditions and be able to meet specific financial requirements. They are required to complete 500 volunteer hours of â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweat equityâ&#x20AC;? before they can purchase their home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to say that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re offering a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hand up, not a hand out,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Alexis Ashworth, Habitat for Humanity NCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an excellent program in place for our partner families that provides extensive homeownership training and sup-

port, from effective budgeting and home maintenance to being a good neighbour.â&#x20AC;? The non-profit is currently building four semi-detached homes in Orleans and expects to build 10 homes in the Ottawa area over the next few years. Habitat for Humanity NCR does not compete with other builders as it services a clientele who could never afford to buy a house or qualify for a conventional mortgage. It is funded through donations from volunteers, individuals, businesses, service clubs, foundations, manufacturers and distributors. Houses are built by volunteers, skilled tradespeople and journeymen who are caring individuals. Manufacturers and distributors in the construction industry donate their products to help build houses and reduce costs. Habitat for Humanity NCR has built 43 homes and renovated eight properties across the region since it was founded in 1993. As a member of Habitat for Humanity Canada, it is part of a worldwide network that spans 100 countries and has built or repaired more than 800,000 homes.

People who are interested in applying to become a partner family should watch Habitat NCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groundbreaking online homeownership information video to learn if they are eligible to purchase a Habitat for Humanity NCR home. For more information about homeownership, sponsorship opportunities or volunteering, contact Habitat for Humanity NCR at 613-749-9950 ext. 225 or go to www.habitatncr.com. About Habitat for Humanity NCR Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region (NCR) is celebrating more than 20 years of building homes and building hope in our community. The non-profit organization mobilizes volunteers, sponsors, donors and tradespeople to build safe, decent and affordable homes and then sells them with long-term, no-interest mortgages to hard-working, lowincome families. People of all faiths and cultures are warmly welcomed by Habitat for Humanity NCR. Submitted by Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region.

we’ve begun to hear stories of discontent taking place in and around the shelter. Tensions and emotions were high…” she said. “As uncomfortable as this may be, it’s important and productive to acknowledge these feelings and find a way to move forward. Conflict can be a positive element for all groups.” Roach said conflict “erodes our foundation to the point where we can’t carry on effectively.” “LAWS may become perilously close to this reality,” she continued. The entire membership has compassion for animals or they wouldn’t be involved with the organization, Roach said. “We need to provide food, shelter, care and most of all, hope to our animals for a forever home,” she noted. “This is who we are, the people of LAWS. Our job is saving animals from an abusive past and connect them with new owners who delight in becoming a family.” The third guest speaker at the meeting was LAWS legal counsel, Terrence Green, who spoke about the directors’ liability and implications for LAWS. Green said he has been very active in the organization for the last six months. “Liability is a serious issue and every one of us do have liability in our daily lives, work or activities,” he stated, adding that directors who take on this role within

LAWS must understand that they are responsible for the “global picture of what LAWS is to become over the next year.” “The benefit of being on a board of directors is if a decision is made from a position of knowledge…they are called decisions of good faith,” he explained. “When decisions are made in good faith, the courts and legal system will not interfere with them.” However, when they aren’t, directors can be held liable. “It’s quite clear. People who are nominated and stand for election must know what they’re getting into.” The floor was opened up for

questions to Green and Lowson asked him to address the recent Metroland newspaper article where Kingsley stated only one staff member was let go from LAWS. “Can you tell us what the accurate numbers are?” she asked. “…This is neither the place, nor the time to do that. It’s part of the day-to-day operations of LAWS. It’s not something that should go to a meeting of members.”

organization’s financial situation during the AGM. Thompson admitted revenue was down significantly in 2014 ($318,603) over 2013 ($593,427), but attributed that to fewer intakes for pound services and a one-time anonymous $100,000 donation made in 2013. Expenses are also down, particularly in the areas of wages ($267,722 in 2014 compared to $386,450 in 2013) and vet expenses ($62,424 in 2014 compared to Treasurer’s report $102,712 in 2013), Thompson LAWS treasurer, Leann also stated.

“The bylaws don’t allow for that,” Bogaerts interjected. “Your bylaws do not indicate what you’re asking. You’re not even able to change the bylaws right now…” LAWS member Laura Lowson, also the bylaw enforcement/animal control officer for the Township of Montague, wondered if directors were elected in previous years, “where’s the grandfathering gone and why the secrecy in not putting (nominees) up on the website?” Hoyland said if the board of directors were acclaimed, she expected the membership would call a special meeting. “If you don’t allow the membership to vote, I have a pretty good feeling that there will be a special meeting of the membership to remove members from the board,” she said. “We should go ahead and conduct ourselves with how we’ve done in the past and carry on…” However, Bogaerts said the language in the bylaws dictates how the meeting is conducted. “This whole process has been hijacked. I can tell you now that a lot of members will leave…we have the right, as members, to elect the directors and you’re taking that away from us,” Schapansky exclaimed. “It’s not me, it’s your bylaws,” Bogaerts shot back.

Piche said there were two ways to deal with the issue: adjourn the meeting and resume it at a later date or accept the acclamation of the board and call the special meeting. “We have quorum, so that first one is not an option,” Bogaerts stated. “…Your bylaws are antiquated and I’m restricted by what your bylaws say…the bylaws are the bylaws.” Rusk suggested the nominees present could speak a bit about themselves. Three chose to do so: Doornbosch, a longtime cat volunteer with LAWS; Piche, a dog lover who has a background in bylaws and governance; and Woods, who believed his skillset could aid the organization. Guest speakers As the meeting was called to order by Bogaerts, he introduced new Carleton Place mayor Louis Antonakos, who said he was looking forward to strengthening the relationship between the town and LAWS. “The Town of Carleton Place is very committed to working with this organization to solve and improve all the outstanding issues we have out in our local community here and this county,” Antonakos stated. In her presentation to the membership, Roach reflected on the current unrest within LAWS and urged the membership to find a common ground. “Over the past several weeks,

Lanark County council to receive first 2015 budget overview Dec. 17

Hostel agreement proceeds Council has authorized the renewal of an agreement with various hostels throughout the county and Town of Smiths Falls to provide services for 2015. These include Rideau Ferry Country Home, Victoria House, Paradise Valley and Countryview Lodge, as well as a month-to-month agreement with Villa Montague (formerly Shardon Manor) until permanent ownership is confirmed. The program provides a permanent residence and some support for daily living for people with special needs, such as persons with serious mental illness, addictions, developmental disabilities and/or the frail/elderly. In a report to the community services committee, social housing manager Sandy Grey said this group would be at risk of homelessness without the program. Staff visit the hostels each year to review required standards and ensure compliance, and there is regular monitoring throughout the year. The health unit and fire departments certify facilities for health and safety requirements. With the cost of providing shelter increasing as energy, property taxes and food costs rise, council has also authorized an increase in the per diem rate provided to hostel operators, as well as an increase in the personal needs allowance rate. Domiciliary hostels are funded through the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative allocation provided to the county by the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Council accomplishments highlighted To mark the last meeting for the current term of council, warden Richard Kidd presented outgoing councillors with stained-glass plaques created by Mississippi Mills-area artist Stephen Braithwaite. He commended those councillors for their hard work and for the strength of ideas they brought to the table. “There is no use for us being here if we are all thinking the same way,” he said. “With a diverse group it is a lot easier to reach decisions.” Several outgoing councillors expressed their thanks for the support from council and county staff over the years and highlighted accomplishments and experiences. Council also accepted a report from chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves outlining a long list of those accomplishments by the 2010-2014 council. Several projects were related to infrastructure, such as the fire communications system, various road and bridge projects and paved shoulders. Corporate initiatives included development charges, recruitment and restructuring, asset management, a capital investment plan, the Sustainable Community Official Plan project, the sale of the 5N property and the renovation/new construction of public works facilities. Other highlights included the Renovate Lanark Program, the Ten Year Housing and Homelessness Plan, the Energy Management Plan, the Rural Connections High-Speed Internet Project, the Deer Lake evacuation, the Automated External Defibrillator program, the CP/Ottawa Valley Railway “Rails to Trails” project, OPP costing discussions, support

Receiving additional funds for homelessness initiative Council has authorized the acceptance of additional funding for 2014/2015 for the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI). CHPI was introduced by the pro-

vincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 2013 to consolidate homelessness-related programs. It aims to prevent, address and reduce homelessness by improving access to adequate, suitable and affordable housing linked to support services. The county received $876,053 for 2014/2015, with an additional $339,525 announced this fall. The most common assistance provided here is housing loss prevention, such as payment of rent arrears, energy arrears and last-month rent deposits. Using the county’s Ten Year Housing and Homelessness Plan as a guide and in consultation with community partners, staff will recommend a strategy for the additional funds to the community services committee in January. One program to be presented is a contract with a community partner to provide homelessness services outside of regular business hours for social services offices.

News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Nov. 26. Lanark County councillors will receive their first budget overview on Dec. 17 with a presentation about Lanark Lodge, followed by “Financial Friday” on Jan. 9, when the rest of the departments will present their proposed budgets. At the corporate services committee meeting earlier this month, chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves congratulated outgoing councillors on their efforts towards sustainability with the county budget. For 2015, Greaves is projecting growth of 1 to 1.5 per cent and an equivalent tax increase. “In the last two years we have increased the net capital levy by $1.1 million with total real tax increases of zero per cent and less than 1.5 per cent,” he said.

It’s simple: lock it or lose it

ditorial – With the Christmas season in full swing and with news this past week that the Ontario Provincial Police are taking part in the Ontario-wide Lock It or Lose It Campaign, now is as good a time as any to remind a surprisingly large segment of the population that leaving car doors unlocked or leaving items of value inside a vehicle and in plain view is, in a word, stupid. We respect the freedom of choice that local residents have when it comes to locking the doors of their homes, garages and vehicles. As much as it shouldn’t be the case, no one should be surprised these days when an unlocked car or truck becomes a crime scene. We know this has been an issue in portions of many communities in Lanark County for several years. Car owners find that someone has violated their property and made off with everything from wallets, purses, laptops and other devices. The police would report on the thefts and remind the public to lock their vehicles

and not to leave valuables in plain view or in their vehicles at all. That would work until the next thief comes along and takes advantage of the opportunity provided by owners who haven’t learned their lesson or choose not to change how they do things just because of some petty crook. And don’t rule out identity theft as a possible motive to open an unlocked door or two. Anyone who leaves credit cards or even credit card documents in a car could be at risk. Some police are now advising motorists to take vehicle ownership and insurance slips with them rather than leaving those materials unattended in a glove compartment – especially if those doors are unlocked. A kid stealing a few bucks from a coin holder is one thing; a more savvy criminal stealing your identity and ruining your credit is a much more costly possibility to consider. So if a local OPP officer leaves a note on your car indicating which safety precautions have been overlooked, be thankful for the advice and do something about it.

next morning. My sister Audrey had made sandwiches and packed them in separate brown paper bags with a couple oatmeal cookies, which would be our lunch, since we expected to be in Renfrew well into the afternoon. We would be leaving the farm early, after a hasty breakfast. Before we children were even out of bed, Mother and Father would have arranged everything on the flat bottom sleigh, on top of layers of quilts covered with sparkly white flour bag sheets, and more blankets on top. Each fowl had to be placed just so if we hoped to sell them quickly. We knew the butter and mother’s sticky buns would go as soon as Father parked the sleigh. Parking the sleigh was another rea-

busiest stores in the entire town of Renfrew. He parked the sleigh, unhitched the horses and with Everett driving the cutter, they headed for the stables at the end of Raglan street. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long until all the butter and the sticky buns were gone. I could see Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little change purse starting to bulge. This was going to be good day. I could feel it in my bones! And the excitement of visiting the five and dime store was mounting by the minute. And then came the men in the long white coats, just like old Doctor Murphy wore at the hospital, over their winter outerwear. They had red embroidery on their pockets letting everyone know they were from Canada Packers and they were all business, let me tell you. The dream, of course, was to have them buy everything you had on the sleigh in one fell swoop. They took off their big fur mitts and poked the turkeys, lifted a goose high

They obviously made Mother and Father an offer they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse, because I saw one of the white-coated men take a wad of bills out of his pocket as big as pickle crock and start counting out the money into Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstretched hand. Another of the men walked quickly away and before you could pledge allegiance to the flag, a big green truck pulled up beside our sleigh and they began loading everything into the cavity that looked to me like it could hold two full-grown heifers. And then our sleigh was empty! The look of sheer joy on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face was something to behold. Father, who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, by golly...well, by golly,â&#x20AC;? as he lit and relit his pipe. Emerson and Everett were sent to

with their pockets and change purse bulging at the seams, we five kids felt we had been done out of a day of excitement, all because three fat men wearing white coats cleared our sleigh with one fell-swoop. Turkey Fair Day was over for another year. Mother could see our disappointment and when the big sleigh turned into Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store at Northcote, she made up for it, giving us each a nickel to buy what we want.

Emerson headed for the licorice pipes, the others bought hard Christmas candy. I asked Mr. Briscoe to cut me off a couple slices of bologna, which I ate before we hit the cutter, so the day wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a total loss after all.

Free course available for Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program volunteers Community – It’s FUN to Move!, a new eLearning course for volunteers with the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program was just released. This free course covers basic skills to get started volunteering with the program as well as a new module on fundamental movement skills. The concept behind fundamental movement skills (FMS) is that it’s important for all of us to develop basic movement skills early. Mastering these skills set us up for a healthier, happier life. FMS include locomotor skills like hopping, jumping, and running; manipulative skills such as catching, kicking,

and throwing; and stability skills of balance, coordination, and twisting. For many participants in the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program, some of these skills can be hard to master in traditional school and sport environments. The program offers ways that riders can practice, improve, and stretch their capabilities in all areas. The natural movement of the horse causes the rider’s pelvis, trunk, and shoulder girdle to react in ways very similar to those of a natural human walking gait. The horse’s gait stimulates a natural instinct for the rider to balance and maintain good posture. Riders in the program also go through

a series of exercises that help to reduce spasticity, strengthen muscles, and increase coordination and flexibility. The new eLearning is geared towards volunteers who work with the participants and the horses. It helps volunteers better understand the active role they can play in developing participants’ fundamental movement skills. This training was made possible by funding from the Government of Ontario. It was designed and developed by Catherine Orfald of conex design. For more information or to try the course, see www.conexdesign.com.

Program, see www.therapeuticriding.ca/ Volunteers. About the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program Therapeutic riding is a unique and holistic approach to therapy, rehabilitation and recreation. The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program provides a safe environment introducing children and adults to the benefits and joys of the healing powers of the horse. It has offered a specialized form of horseback riding to people with physical and/or developmental disabilities in Lanark County since 1986. Volunteers are an integral part of the program’s team.

Lanark County Interval House encouraging third party fundraising events 1989 at Ecole Polytechnique, 14 women were killed in 20 minutes by a gunman who was specifically targeting women he identified as feminists. On a lighter note, Beauties of the Beast, a women’s snowmobile club is also holding a fundraiser on Jan. 31. They will be riding to Barry’s Bay, staying overnight and returning the next day. They have chosen LCIH as the organization to receive the sponsorship from these women riders. For more information, visit www.snowmobile.on.ca or contact jabedard@storm.ca. Importance of fundraisers Third party fundraising events have become more and more important to the sustainability of LCIH. While we receive funding from the provincial government, we raise almost twenty percent of our operating expenses through local activities.

As time and staff get stretched trying to make ends meet, we rely more and more on our extended community to help. This year saw several new or newly expanded events. We had the Wellness of Women (Wowfit) centre in Perth hold a yoga session and donate the proceeds in March. They in turn challenged other businesses in Perth, and Two Guys for Lunch reacted and held a spaghetti supper in May and donated all the proceeds to LCIH. In August, Amanda and Kelsi from Bayshore Home Health wanted to help, so they decided to “take flight with wings of Courage” and go skydiving. They gathered sponsors, and then jumped! There was so much support, this will likely become an annual event. September saw a large crowd at Angels Roost Organic Spa for “Loving You” personal wellness day. They had local organic foods, tarot reading, yoga, photo booth,

INCREDIBLE PRICING ON EXCEPTIONAL USED VEHICLES! WE KNOW CARS!

music, crafts and a lot of fun. Again, this expanded event will be repeated next year. In October, Shoppers Drug Mart and the people of Smiths Falls were very generous with their Tree of Life campaign and again this year donated the funds raised to Lanark County Interval House. Foodsmiths in Perth hosted a ladies day where they sampled coffees and treats, mini makeovers, demos and prizes and donated the funds to LCIH, this was their second contribution this year, as we also received their “bring a bag” donation. Foodsmiths collects the money saved from customers brining reusable bags, and donates the funds to a different charity each month. We are grateful for their support. In Carleton Place, Ballygiblin’s hosted a “Feed the Fight to End Violence Against Women” evening and patrons enjoyed an upscale dinner, served by celebrity servers, emceed by radio personalities and

the profits were donated to LCIH. This year we were very fortunate to be selected by the Keller Williams VIP Realty “Laughs for Charity” organizers. They hosted an evening of comedy, cocktails, live and silent auction and LCIH was one of three groups to receive funds generated by the event. November also saw three of the most important fundraising events that LCIH runs every year. Nov. 8 and 9 saw our 26th Women’s Fair and our seventh annual Violet Femmes gala took place on Nov. 21. Later this month, our winter fundraising mailed appeal will go out and we count on our community to be generous as always during this very busy, challenging and family-oriented time of year. For more information about LCIH’s programs, services and events, visit lcih.org. Submitted by Lanark County Interval House.

CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. So come on in and check out our exciting new selection.

Industry built around babies is just mind-boggling Lifestyle – There is a full-scale baby invasion underway in the Maguire household. The evidence is everywhere! Infant toys including stuffed objects, musical devices, plastic items, wooden blocks and something called “WubbaNubs” are scattered around the living room. For the uninitiated, a WubbaNub is a baby pacifier attached to a bean-filled stuffed animal. Kathleen is always saying we need more counter space in our kitchen. But at the moment my wife is quite content to have a third of the available space covered with formula containers, baby bottles and inserts, plastic serving bowls and spoons, a steamer and all manner of other items and devices. There is even a “Baby Bullet” which, by the way, is not a toy vehicle or weapon. It’s actually just a small blender for reducing vegetables and fruit to mush. For the first time in decades we currently have an infant high chair in our kitchen. On the lower level of our house some of the contents of the guest bedroom have been re-distributed in the family room. In their place is a combination crib/playpen. The first thing you see on entering the family room is a “Jumperoo” a spinning device which allows an infant access to a variety of activities and featuring lights, music and sounds. I’m sure most of you have already guessed that the reason for all the baby

fuss and bother is that we have a special guest in the house. Our little granddaughter Lily, along with her parents Heather and Indy, are on a long-term visit from Regina where they currently live. Heather (our daughter) and her partner, an engineer for an Ottawa-based firm, arrived in mid-November and will be with us until after Christmas. He is working and taking courses in eastern Canada at present. Despite the dramatic impact Lily and her parents have made on our home and our lives, we couldn’t be happier. Lily is our first grandchild and, at nearly nine months, she is an absolute delight. As I said about her in the column I wrote after her birth in March, I immediately fell head over heels in love with my new granddaughter. During this visit the bond between us continues to grow stronger. Lily comes with baggage – lots of it. And since her arrival our usually miniscule weekly trash and recycling output has more than doubled. So too has our grocery bill. But hey, that’s what grandparents are here for! During a month-long visit by the baby and her parents in August things were somewhat chaotic. There was stuff spread all over the house and Kathy was not amused.

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

better organized and, give her credit, she definitely is. The weekends before our family’s arrival were spent preparing the lower level of our home for their use. Now that they are here our laundry room, for example, is a picture of precision. Kathy has several fold-up bins in place for dirty clothes, all of them colour coded. We’ve all been given specific instructions which ones we are to use and which not to use. These days, the clothesline is generally filled with baby bibs, tiny shirts and pants. The bedroom closet and vanity were totally cleared and waiting for them. So too were the large shelves which normally hold my substantial collection of travel books, magazines and brochures collected during our many trips overseas and across this continent. They are in boxes (temporarily I hasten to add) and those shelves too are now filled with Lily’s “stuff”. Our special guests are not living out of suitcases this time around. Their Better organized Prior to this visit she vowed to be clothes are neatly hung in the closet or

folded and sitting in the dresser drawers. “Organization” is the buzz word in the Maguire household these days! Grandma, on the other hand, can’t stop buying things for the baby. Every time she goes shopping she comes home with something else. Last week it was a TV remote – well, a baby one, it doesn’t really change channels. One of Lily’s favourite objects of the moment is television controllers, because when she touches them with her tiny fingers red lights flash. All of the purchases of course only add to the incredible amount of material that will go with Lily when she travels to stay with Indy’s parents in Montreal at New Year’s and which her parents will have to haul back to Regina in early January. And Christmas is still three weeks away! After Lily and Heather had gone to bed one night last week (Indy was in Toronto on business) I sat looking at all the baby stuff in our upstairs living room and shook my head in amazement! Thanks goes to a number of our friends here who have loaned us toys and equipment that could not be easily transported from Saskatchewan but makes life with a baby much easier. Still, whatever happened to the days when a baby’s traveling kit was a pile of cloth diapers and a rattle? The diapers had to be stored somewhere and diaper pails don’t travel well.

So you can picture the commotion that went with that scenario. Not to mention the odor! Today it is all about disposable diapers. Diapers that are “guaranteed not to leak.” Very nice for modern parents. The used product ends up in a perfumed bag (biodegradable I trust) which is then deposited in the trash. Our granddaughter is quite the little fashion plate. Heather dresses her immaculately and everywhere she goes she is looking for the next size in clothes as Lily grows. I have been getting quite the education about the truly incredible industry which surrounds babies and child rearing in the new millennium. At one time department stores used to have small baby sections. As the demand for infant apparel and equipment grows, so too do those areas. Major retailers devote a lot of floor space to little ones “needs.” Whether they need it or not. Of course there are lots of establishments today which are devoted exclusively to infants. Some sell only toys (for children of all ages) while others deal mainly in clothes and foot wear. Baby shoes, boots and socks today are something to behold. Our Lily is quite the little fashionista when it comes to footwear. I want to make it clear that there is See COLUMN page 23

‘Christmas With The King’ Dec. 20 at Perth’s Studio Theatre Arts – Christmas was Elvis Presley’s favourite time of year, and carols and gospel music held a special place in his heart. In his annual Christmas show, “Christmas With The King”, world-famous tribute artist Gino Monopoli captures the essence of what Elvis was all about – he was happiest when he was relaxing with family and friends, enjoying the uplifting songs of the season, as well as songs from his own repertoire. On Saturday, Dec. 20 at 8 p.m. Gino Monopoli brings his popular Christmas show to the Studio Theatre in Perth, a fun-filled mix of popular and traditional music, in the spirit of Elvis at home in Graceland. It’s the premiere event of the 2014 holiday season. We were prompted to bring Gino back to Perth for a second time this year by the tremendous response to his sold-out show in June. We also wanted to offer something different from the standard type of Christmas concert seen year after year the world over. And a glowing newspaper article about Gino’s 2013 Christmas show in Smiths Falls made our decision to bring him back an easy one! Even though our Dec. 20 show comes just a few days after he returns from an exhausting tour of Australia, Gino has kindly agreed to postpone a scheduled vacation in order to be here with us in Perth. So we are especially pleased to bring this wonderful,

nothing elitist about baby wear and toys. Much of what is on the market is surprisingly inexpensive. Changing market Part of the reason for the lower prices today is the changing international marketplace, coupled with the fact discriminating buyers aren’t going to pay a fortune for clothes kids quickly grow out of. Consignment stores also offer a good alternative for anyone with babies and especially those on tight budgets. Many such outlets are operating in our community and across the region. The good news is that most infant apparel, toys, furniture and equipment is handed down or passed on to family and friends. That’s one tradition that has never changed during my lifetime. Today many young families donate their used baby clothes

Gino Monopoli, above in character as Elvis ‘The King’ Presley, will bring his annual Christmas show, ‘Christmas With The King’, to Perth’s Studio Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 20. family-friendly show to you, just in time for Christmas! Tickets are $30 (inclusive of taxes) at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, Perth. Call 613-267-6817 or visit Shadowfax.on.ca (credit cards accepted).

and materials to charity. I know there will be youngsters in Saskatchewan who will benefit from Lily’s lightly worn clothing for example. Last week I took Heather and Lily shopping one afternoon. We visited a new outlet mall in west Ottawa including a shop which is strictly for little ones. On the way out we bumped into a lady who, judging by her age had to be a grandmother. She paused just inside the front entrance and said to me, “Oh my God. I can’t go in here. I’m already tired just looking at all this stuff!” I laughed and nodded my head in agreement. It was mind-boggling all right. Admittedly there are highend market products for babies, some of which are well over the top. I feel that most of that kind of material – gadgets for example – is purchased for the gratification of adults and not for children who are too young to appreciate all the

bells and whistles. Is Lily spoiled? No doubt! But hey, that too is a grandparents’ right. Still, I have to laugh at what keeps her busy during the day and amuses her the most. Her wide array of store bought or loaned toys and baby gadgets? No, not at all. When Lily is cranky and needs to be kept occupied until bedtime it isn’t the expensive items in her parents’ baby arsenal that is brought to bear. Instead they simply hand her an empty envelope, a newspaper flyer or a scrap of paper. A huge smile comes over her face, she laughs out loud and has a whale of a time waving, bending, folding and tearing the paper. Lily is an advertisement for the fact that keeping it simple is the best course to follow when it comes to children.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brilliantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the word of the day at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It seems to be the word of the day. Patron after patron coming out of the first weekend of performances of BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (BDP) Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!) at Full Circle Theatre summed it up with the same sentence: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are brilliant!â&#x20AC;? Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!) is a remount of BDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday season offering from last year and a patron, who also saw it in 2013, exclaimed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How is it possible that they are even funnier than last year?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;? are a trio of veteran BarnDoor Productions performers. David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin bring a combined 80 or so years of theatre experience to the show and the result is hilarity. Audiences laugh from beginning to end of the 100minute show as they are treated to a whirlwind of fun, from Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeated (and failed) attempts to perform Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Christmas Carol to Laxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piratical rendition of A Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Yukon Cornelius (David Jacklin), Hermy The Orthodontist Elf (David Bird) and Gustav The Green-Nosed Reingoat (Joe Laxton) prepare to face the fearsome â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bumble in BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!). The hilarious and zany show runs Thursday through Sunday this week at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre.

Christmas With Whales to outrageous (and factual) Christmas traditions around the world and even a TV game show all about fruitcake. And there is much more, as well. Director Janice Jacklin keeps the action moving at a blistering pace, so much so that one high school student seeing the show asked â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can those old guys have that much energy?â&#x20AC;? The answer is experience and the fact that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old guysâ&#x20AC;? are having as much fun up on the stage as the audience does watching the show. There is plenty of opportunity for interaction and ad-libbing with the audience and for reacting to whatever comments that audience â&#x20AC;&#x153;volunteersâ&#x20AC;? may make, keeping the show fresh and exciting for the performers, as well as totally unpredictable for the viewers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a show for all ages and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of the most fun you can have about the holiday season. If you like to laugh, if you like to be entertained, if you like fun, then Every Christmas Story Ever

Re-think your drinking: Know the standard drink sizes drinking by providing safe drinking tips and times when zero is the limit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choice mattersâ&#x20AC;? is an important topic because of the way alcohol impairs our judgment and reaction time. Did you know it can take three hours to remove alcohol from your body from just two drinks? During the holidays and at all times, it is important to remember that, according to the Ministry of Transportation, even small amounts of alcohol affect your brain and it is hard to assess how impaired you might be. Plan ahead and choose not to drive if you are drinking. When are those times when zero is the limit? The guidelines recommend zero is the limit when you are: â&#x20AC;˘ Driving a vehicle; â&#x20AC;˘ Doing any kind of physical activity; â&#x20AC;˘ Responsible for the safety of others; â&#x20AC;˘ Making important decisions; â&#x20AC;˘ Taking medication or other drugs that interact with alcohol (such as energy drinks); and â&#x20AC;˘ Living with mental or physical health problems.

Planning to become pregnant and during pregnancy or breastfeeding are also times when no alcohol is the best choice. Low risk drinking supports healthy lifestyles. When it comes to alcohol, size matters. Following the low-risk drinking guidelines can help you decrease health risks! Understanding standard drink sizes matters since some drinks have more alcohol in them than others. Here are some things to keep in mind: â&#x20AC;˘ One standard drink means one, 12oz bottle of five per cent alcohol, beer, cider or cooler; one, 1.5oz shot of 40 per cent hard liquor (vodka, rum, whisky, gin, etc.); one, 5oz glass of 12 per cent wine. â&#x20AC;˘ Women should drink no more than three drinks on any single occasion. Men should drink no more than 4 drinks on any single occasion. To reduce longterm health risks, women should drink no more than 10 drinks a week and men should drink no more than 15 drinks a week. â&#x20AC;˘ Remember that a cooler, beer or cider may have more than 5 per cent al-

cohol which means it is not a standard drink. For more information on how to rethink your drinking, please visit our website: www.healthunit.org or call the Health ACTION Line at 1-800-660-

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines. These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption and make informed choices. The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes and limits for men and women, discuss when the limit is zero, and provide healthy alternatives and tips to decrease health risks. Drinking alcohol is a personal choice and the majority of people drink responsibly. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not asking you to stop drinkingâ&#x20AC;Śinstead we want you to re-think your drinking and gradually reduce the amount of alcohol you consume as part of a healthy lifestyle. If you choose to drink, these guidelines can help you decide when, where, why and how. Remember during the holidays that when it comes to alcohol, choice matters. The low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines can help you plan ahead when you are

And I have the sweet personality to go with it. They say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy-go-lucky, playful and good-natured. Aww shucks, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just a young medium-large hound mix who wants to make friends with everyone. I get along just fine with most dogs and would make an excellent family dog.

Baggins She is fluffy, black cat with stunning eyes and because of her longer hair needs regular grooming which she enjoys. Baggins was a stray cat, but so lovely and friendly that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure she had a loving home before. So far nobody came looking for her. We hope that one of our readers will recognize her as being their cat. Baggins really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be confined to her small kennel. She would love to be in a home on a warm clean bed where she gets cuddles and kisses.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently moved into the cat run where they get to play with other cats. Initially shy as they had never played with other cats, Lana went into hiding. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now both come out of their shell and enjoy having a little more space to wiggle around. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both very affectionate, healthy and very pretty.

Jack and the Beanstalk opens Dec. 4 for two-week run at Station Theatre Arts – The 2015 season of plays at the Station Theatre has been announced. And it’s a worthy successor to the great season ending this month with the hilarious Christmas pantomine, Jack and the Beanstalk. Next year, it’s a delightful mix of a couple of comedies, a mystery, a farce, the Canadian premiere of a children’s

musical and another Britishstyle Christmas pantomime. The theatre is offering patrons an opportunity to attend all of the six plays presented next year for just $99. This season ticket comes in the form of a “Six-Pack Flex Pack”. Patrons can select how they want to use their six vouchers to purchase tickets to any of our six shows

in the 2015 season. The deal – which is good up to the deadline of Feb. 22 – offers a saving of almost 20 per cent compared to the regular adult ticket price. Go to www.smithsfallstheatre.com for detailed information on the different ways the “Six-Pack Flex Pack” can be purchased and used throughout the next season. The voucher package makes a great Christmas gift. Don’t miss out. Jack and the Beanstalk, a play for young people of all ages, is set to run from Dec. 4 to Dec. 14, bringing frantic action, lavish costumes, dancing and familiar songs to the stage. Director Emily Duberville, who grew up in England attending Christmas pantos, has assembled a cast of talented youthful actors and experienced veterans and

readied them for an outstanding performance. Mike Adams stars as the Dame, a male cast in a female role in the best tradition of the English pantomime. Jenny Jasiak, age 15, plays the Principal Boy, Jack. Although young, Jenny has already been in four pantomimes in her stage career. Bethany Duberville, one of many Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) students in this production, plays the Principal Girl, Princess Demelza, in her ﬁrst major role. Some of the zaniest action revolves around Daisy the Cow, played by Sheila Jasiak and Shawna Merkley (front and back end respectively).

talk, and planning a time is difficult, as the situation is fluid,” he wrote.

News – Dillon Hillier, 26, the son of local MPP Randy Hillier, has joined in the fight against ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) on the side of Kurdish fighters or “Peshmerga.” Hillier flew to northern Iraq on Nov. 15 and has been fighting alongside the military coalition, whose name in Kurdish means “those who confront death.” In a battlefield interview, The Record News reached Hillier on his smartphone at an undisclosed location in northern Iraq. “I’ve wanted to do something like this for years,” Hillier wrote, adding “fighting for the Kurds is a good cause.” He said he was inspired by, of all things, media reports about Dutch and German bikers joining the fight against ISIS on the side of the Kurds and, now that he is fighting alongside the Peshmerga, he has found them to be “a professional military force.” In fact, as a more humble militia, when compared to his old regiment, the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry (PPLI), there is no “endless paperwork to do,” and that when the time comes to get something done, “they just do it.” He has posted photographs online of his time in Iraq, but tipped his hat towards his old regiment, writing: “once a Patricia, always a Patricia.” During his weekend interview with this paper, Hillier sometimes had to cut his conversation short. “There may not be a lot of time to

A father’s home front worry In his only Canadian newspaper interview on the subject, conducted on Friday, Nov. 28, Randy Hillier, the Progressive Conservative MPP for LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington said, “I’m very proud of what he is doing. I don’t want to amplify the dangers that he is in,” which is why, “I’ve been very reluctant to speak to the media,” having only issued a press release statement on the subject last month. Dillon was raised in Blacks Corners in Beckwith Township, before moving to the Perth area with his family in his teenage years. He graduated from Perth and District Collegiate Institute. He served in the Canadian armed forces with the PPLI, based in Shilo, Manitoba, having signed up at the age of 20. He served for five years, carrying out one tour of duty in Afghanistan. He was discharged this past March, and went to go work in Alberta, working first in Calgary, then heading towards the province’s oil patch for the summer months. “He’s joined up on very strong convictions,” said Randy. “(But) it certainly carries a lot of worry as well.” Randy said he is in contact with his son, though not as often as when Dillon lived in Alberta. “I have no idea and I’m sure he doesn’t either how long he will be there,” said Randy. In talking with his son, Dillon has

mentation to clarification on processes, charges, etc. One question directed at the reeve himself spoke of a suspected breach of Code of Conduct. It is alleged that in camera information was leaked to the public by the reeve, though nothing has been proven to date. Reeve Dobson asserts he answered residents’ questions on the topic in general terms, saying the Employment Standards Act requires the municipality to give a week or a month of wages depending on years of service. “That’s what I said and I didn’t say anything specific,” Dobson added in a phone interview with the Record News. “I haven’t done anything wrong.” Faye Goodberry-Easton has been a long time resident and spoke with the reeve at her door about the topic during his door-to-door campaign this year. She

News - A two-year process to update the zoning bylaw in Montague Township, which governs land use is nearing the final steps towards completion. “It’s been an awful lot of work, but well worth it,” said Reeve Bill Dobson. “Hopefully it will be good for the future.” The township’s zoning bylaw has not been updated since 1977, but once passed will be compliant with the new Provincial Policy Statement and other upper tier regulations. “You could say there was a lot of work that was done,” commented Glenn Barnes, CAO. Steve Pentz of Novatech made a presentation to councillors at their Nov. 25 council meeting outlining the key amendments recommended by outside agencies. Among them was the Town of Smiths Falls who had a couple of comments around future development. The town asked for language protecting the airport from development that would make it difficult to operate. “That’s kind of a hard one to deal with,” Pentz said. Novatech is recommending including a statement that will have the township consult Transport Canada and NAVCAN

alleges specifics on the terminated employee were given. “I remember very well,” GoodberryEaston added of her conversation with the reeve. This was one of almost 20 questions provided to the township last week. “These questions will be answered to you,” assured Reeve Bill Dobson. Unfortunately, it was not that night. King was granted an extension to the 10-minute maximum per delegation to complete her list of questions before council took a five-minute break to prepare their response.

for any development application impacting the airport. The next element dealt with Bayview Crescent. The town asked Montague to apply mandatory municipal services provisions to the Bayview Crescent area, which Novatech declined. “I would not touch that,” Pentz said. His report noted the Bayview Crescent area is not currently subject to similar zoning provisions. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) submitted 10 pages of comments on the proposed bylaw with much of it dealing with definitions and interpretation. “Honestly, I’ll say I wasn’t surprised by the comments,” Pentz said. One item of interest was the RVCA’s request to disallow gazebos, decks and the like that would encroach on water setbacks. “Decks are always an integral part of living on the water,” Pentz added. “They typically are water oriented features.” Pentz recommended leaving the section as is given the nature of the items in question. He offered to sit down with the RVCA once council approved the changes and a second draft of the document is complete. The meeting would serve to verbally explain the township’s position on various

issues such as those listed above. Once council approves the changes and a second draft of the zoning bylaw is created a second public meeting will be scheduled for the community to have a final look at the document. The first meeting was held in October with a small turnout, according to Pentz. Anyone who disagrees with the bylaw can appeal it to the Ontario Municipal Board. The consultant suspects this may occur for up to eight residents who are currently appealing a new agricultural zone on their property that was made once the Official Plan was updated. Barnes explained the new Provincial Policy Statement increased the criteria for lands that are to be designated as prime agricultural land. “Which increased the areas in Montague,” Barnes said. The contested lands were rezoned as prime agricultural, according to Barnes. This case is currently working through the appeal process. April is the next scheduled meeting to hear this issue. However, the zoning is reflected in the new zoning bylaw so it is reasonable to expect an appeal on this document will be filed. A date for the public meeting will be set once council has had a chance to review the document and approve it.

Mayor Pankow looks to first term of council with excitement sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Beginning this week the new town council has rolled up its sleeves and got to work on a mandate of moving the town forward towards a brighter future. “Our future will be what we’ll make it not what it will make us,” Mayor Shawn Pankow said on behalf of council as a whole. “We’re excited about the future of our town.” The mayor and each councillor in turn placed their hand on the Holy Bible and pledged an oath put to them by Hon. Justice Michael Quigley. “I’m totally honoured to be sworn in by you, sir,” remarked Coun. Jay Brennan. Quigley opened the swearing in ceremony by con-

gratulating all municipal politicians for their dedication to their community and willingness to continue a proud tradition that goes back to the time of ancient Greece. “It’s not only a swearing in, but it is a celebration of our democracy,” Quigley said. “The administration of the oath is just the beginning of the work.” The new council will begin with a heavy item on the agenda Dec. 8 when the zoning addition for the proposed Summit Energy plastics melting plant returns for discussion. Very shortly discussions around the 2015 budget will kick off, giving councillors their first chance to balance the budget while meeting the needs of the community. This Monday’s swearing in ceremony enjoyed a full house in council chambers, including retired mayor Dennis Staples and former

Park Avenue landlord-tenant conflict is now resolved

News - The locks have been changed and the cleanup process complete on Park Avenue following a Landlord and Tenant Board decision that stripped Steve Stoddard of his title as tenant. The Oct. 23, 2014 decision in favour of Elaine Rempel, co-owner of CRE Investments, referred to the definition of a tenant under the Residential Tenancies Act as someone who pays rent for the right to occupy a rental unit. Since no rent had been paid the board decision concluded: “I find the board does not have jurisdiction over this matter because Steven Stoddard is not a tenant as defined in the Act.” The board dismissed the application on these grounds as they couldn’t address an issue with an individual who doesn’t meet the definition of a tenant. This determination allowed Rempel to change the locks on her doors, but she can’t help but

wonder why it took four months to come to this conclusion. “This was our position the first week he was here that he was a trespasser,” said Dave Pringle, property manager. The decision may be a surprise for Stoddard, who was not in attendance at the Oct. 22 hearing. Stoddard’s current address is unknown, but he did speak with the Record News this fall where he showed proof of attempting to pay rent since moving in this past July. A trespass order was served on Stoddard July 21, 2014, but was not enforced by the police. Stoddard acknowledged this, but asked Pringle to send them to his lawyer to confirm their authenticity. Police are unable to comment on specific cases, however, Deputy Chief Mark MacGillivray did have this comment for the paper this summer: “We’re certainly assisting in any way we can in terms of keeping the peace.” According to Rempel, she dropped off two guns and a bag of

knives to the Smiths Falls Police. She and her volunteers spent over a month cleaning the apartment following the October decision. Linda Dalton, who lives in the building, volunteered to help over a number of weeks and confirmed the discovery of a number of items, including a wedding dress and one dangerous find. “When I was cleaning I had picked up an iron and it was still plugged in; it was on,” Dalton said. The experience has soured Rempel on the entire landlord experience, though she does note she has some good tenants. “I’ve discovered there really is no protection” for landlords, Rempel added. “I’m just going to sell everything and move elsewhere.” The Park Avenue property has cost her approximately $25,000 to date. Rempel has 32 tenants in Smiths Falls, but is considering leaving the landlord business and move into flipping houses.

councillor Ken Graham who combined have 49 years of municipal council experience. “The work that you do over the next four years will be work that you’re building on all the good people who have come before you,” Quigley added. “We, as the people of Smiths Falls are indebted to you for doing that.” Councillors each expressed their gratitude to the community for their confidence in them and to their

family for their support through the hectic schedules a municipal representative must contend with. Speaking directly to his family Monday evening, Pankow said: “I’m asking for your understanding and patience for this four years as we go through this journey together.” Mayor Pankow’s first action as mayor was to proclaim Dec. 6 National Day of Remembrance and Action on the issue of violence against women.

Community - As the Christmas season approaches, the Heritage House Museum is excited to host its annual Victorian Family Christmas Party on Sunday, Dec. 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. Step back into the 1860s to share in the sights, sounds, and flavours of a Victorian Christmas as you gather around our traditionally decorated tree in the parlour and enjoy a cup of hot apple cider with home-baked seasonal treats.

As you visit the museum you will also be able to enjoy the fantastic artwork currently on display as part of the 33rd annual Art Show and Christmas Artisan Market, while meeting several of the over 40 local artists featured in the show.

Council faces multiple priorities going into budget discussions Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - The new Smiths Falls council members take their seats this week and already a laundry list of action items and decisions lay before them including significant infrastructure spending, neighbourhood improvements, economic development priorities and community safety. The question is how do you address all the demands and balance the books? “There’s a lot of money that needs to go into these things to make them work,” noted Coun. Chris Cummings. “It’s an investment in our town,” Coun. John Maloney added. One of the more pressing investments councillors heard about during their orientation Nov. 26 is the need to repair the stone arch bridge on Beckwith Street. Lynda McKimm, town manager confirmed the town was successful in reaching the next stage of funding under the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund. Smiths Falls must submit additional paperwork on the project by Dec. 19 to remain in the running to receive much of the $2.2 million needed to complete the project (the town’s share would be $198,116). Staff said they should hear by March 2015 if they will receive the dollars, but noted the bridge is in dire need of repair with or without funding. “If that proves not to be the case [the funding is denied] we’ll need to regroup,” added Malcolm Morris, CAO.

“We’re focusing our energies to put together an application they can’t refuse.” At the very least the town must fix the abutment footing. The concrete under the water is starting to thin because the water is wearing it down as it turns against it. The biggest expense for this project would be the need to make the work site dry by blocking the water in that area. “It’s not imminent,” assures Vanessa Bernicky, engineering technologist of the required work. The town does have $200,000 set aside to complete this project.

notice to assume command during the event of a crisis such as the ice storm of 1998 or the organization needed to assist northern Ontario residents a few of years ago. Looking to the future, the fire department is keenly interested in moving forward with discussions to merge their department with the county ambulance service. Maloney asked about the idea of introducing training so that firefighters could serve as paramedics when first on the scene. “That really saves lives,” Beauchamp said in support of the comment.

Fire Prevention Plan March is also the date for when the Smiths Falls Fire Department expects to complete its Fire Prevention Plan. A presentation to council will take place in April or May. The plan will touch on key prevention elements such as an increased risk inspection program and public education, particularly around residential hazards and kitchen fires. “I can tell you that’s going to be our focus,” Chief Normand Beauchamp said. This October alone the department received roughly eight to 10 calls relating to a pot on the stove. “I was shocked,” the chief said. On Dec. 8 council will vote on who will serve as acting mayor for the purposes of the Emergency Plan. This individual must be available at a moment’s

Economic development Offering a reliable rail connection to and from the city could save lives by removing the congestion on roads. Nicole McKernan, planner put talk of a regional plan to link the City of Ottawa with outlying communities like Smiths Falls and perhaps even the City of Kingston on the table. “I expect in the next four years you’ll start seeing some traction” on this item, McKernan said. She outlined a number of upcoming agenda items including the creation of an updated Strategic Plan and the development of design guidelines. “Our Official Plan lays the foundation that allows us to construct guidelines,” she said. Such a document would provide a guide to incoming developers on the

town’s expectation in regards to aesthetics in key neighbourhoods. She notes the entire town is considered a Community Improvement Plan area. A recommendation will come forward seeking financial backing to this initiative to allow for an incentive program for property owners. Beautification and a healthy events list draws people to a community. The economic development department is currently working to gather local tourism data through surveys and a partnership with Parks Canada. Kevin O’Dair, community development coordinator said these numbers are critical in planning the way forward, particularly for big events such as the planned Pan Am games next year. “Now it’s an opportunity for the new council to say ‘let’s sit down and focus,’” O’Dair said. He noted the Turning Point document is nearly expired and the opportunity to create a Tourism Master Plan is upon them. The 2010 task force plans that were created, particularly the document focusing on downtown revitalization and waterfront development was singled out for some action in the coming year. “I think it’s time to take some of the studies and allocate some resources to them,” O’Dair added. “The downtown is the heart of your community.” Cummings noted the Economic Development Committee has been dormant for six years, but interest still exists within the community to sit on such an

entity should it be resurrected. The department is also recommending revamping the website as a top priority; creating a formalized partnership with the real estate community to share information and goals; and work with existing and new businesses who are interested in working in town through BR&E programs. A regional application to attract foreign investment has been submitted by Valley Heartland CFDC to complete the town’s attraction component. “We don’t want to lose sight of those opportunities that come from outside,” O’Dair said. He also encouraged councillors to think about what, if any, events the town wants to host in 2017 to be part of the nation’s 150th anniversary. Community services There’s no better place to host an event than at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. Art Manhire, community services manager, spoke to councillors having just one week under his belt. Manhire’s update was one of opportunity to find new uses for the centre by creating a brand for the facility that embodies the community it serves. He referenced the community of Whitehorse where he worked previously. Their facility went from $1.1 million in revenues to $3.7 million due to Manhire’s work of offering an eclectic array of events.

pinion - The weather outside may be frightful with the cold and wind chill ripping right through us, but the warmth of caring individuals helping others is melting the morning frost in Smiths Falls and Merrickville alike. The recent CP Holiday Train event brought about record crowds who stood, sometimes for over an hour in the cold, to be entertained by Roxanne Potvin and The Odds and support those needing to fill their cupboards during the cold winter months. Food banks throughout the region will be able to extend this warmth through a bowl of soup or a plate of spaghetti donated by local residents. I love this time of year for this reason. No matter where I turn there are examples of human kindness and love for one another being shown at every corner. Last Friday I had the opportunity to attend both Merrickville and Smiths Falls’ Holiday Train events. I arrived in the village a half hour early to find the crowd spilling toward the roadway. My word! This is when my coworker’s suggestion of a flying drone could have come in handy as I was certain I wouldn’t get anywhere near the stage for pictures. That is until I came across a little dip in the endless string of people waiting for the train along the tracks - right in front. Eureka! My feet couldn’t carry me there fast enough as I made my ‘excuse me’s’

and ‘pardon me’ through the crowd. I broke through the throng of people giving a deep sigh of relief when it finally dawned on me why such a massive crowd would leave a space six people wide by four people deep vacant in an open air concert. There sitting quietly waiting for the show were two residents in wheelchairs. My mom is in a wheelchair and I’ve seen the endless frustrations in trying to navigate narrow aisleways and displays meant for those standing. Seeing those two people braving the cold for a night of entertainment and support for food programs warmed my heart. Last Friday one of the season’s biggest celebrations in town was accessible thanks to the Merrickville community. The same could be seen in Smiths Falls where little ones were welcomed in front of adults so they could enjoy the show. If only we could keep this seasonal atmosphere going throughout the year. Life is so hectic sometimes the humanity of a situation can get lost. I think that will be my New Year’s resolution. In 2015 I am going to make a concerted effort to slow down and appreciate those around me and be sure to act when I can put a smile on someone’s face.

Smiths Falls schools accept donation from RBC golf tournament Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - A day of fitness on the links this summer has given many Smiths Falls area students the ability to better tackle their school day following a $15,500 donation to breakfast and snack programs from the RBC Golf Classic. The formal presentation was made Nov. 27 at St. James the Greater Catholic Elementary School’s breakfast program - one of 10 schools to receive funds in the Smiths Falls area. All programs fall under the umbrella of Food For Thought in Lanark County. “I think people really understand where the money is going. It’s something they can get behind,” said Matt Newby of RBC Perth who recently joined Nick Ritchie’s (RBC Smiths Falls) tournament planning committee. The Aug. 8, 2014 tournament was a great success and the second year the organizers’ have held it. Next year they hope to expand the good they can do. “Next year it will benefit Smiths Falls and Perth,” Ritchie confirmed. Plans are still underway for the 2015 event, including discussion on whether to host two independent events or one large one to support both families of schools. Ultimately, Ritchie’s vision is to make the tournament county-wide. The need is evident and for a number of reasons, be it fiscal challenges or simply that the child is hungry again once they make it to school. “Some are on the buses so early,” remarked volunteer, Joan Cobham. St. James’ program is open to anyone who would like anything from a drink to a full breakfast. Stephanie Spinelli, coordinator of the St. James the Greater Breakfast and snack programs, said receiving funds from businesses like the RBC means they can provide a greater

The number of people who continue to use this program has declined significantly following the opening of the walking track at the arena but there are still folks that enjoy the warmer venue of the high school. Maybe you are such a person. Check us out. Sincerely, Tom Brownell Lombardy

Heritage House Museum honours veterans at annual concert

Community - In his song, War Without End, David Archibald retells a story of two lovers split apart by war and their separate hardships. Archibald held up the hat during the Nov. 23 Farmsteads to Frontlines concert to show the audience where the soldier in his song kept his future wife’s picture during the conflict.

Community - A nearly capacity crowd sat attentively Nov. 23 to listen to David Archibald recount battles from the 1821 to the Second World War. Archibald is a song writer and entertainer from the area. The concert at the legion is an annual fundraiser for the town operated museum. Attendees enjoyed an array of refreshments and had the opportunity to bid on a number of lovely gift baskets, which were raffled off later on.

The local demand does translate into dollars and cents. In the case of St. James the Greater it amounted to $2,600 in breakfast program costs and $850 in snack program costs last year. The good news is the province is beginning to realize the true benefit of programs like Food For Thought Lanark County. Sharon Bjergso, partnership coordinator for Food For Thought Lanark

County is exceedingly pleased with the recent announcement of funding from the upper tier governments. No specific dollar figure has been announced, but Bjergso said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The investment has more than doubled.â&#x20AC;? She attributes this to the success in collecting data on the programs over the last number of years. Studies have followed students for four to five years collecting information on their progress through the education system when students have access to these programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They see the difference,â&#x20AC;? Bjergso said. Every school program is unique and relies on the power of volunteers to make them work. If you are interested in volunteering with your schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program please call them to find out more.

IN MEMORIAM DUFFY - In memory of a very special wife, Hazel Duffy, who passed away November 29, 1997. If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. It is lonely here without you, I miss you more each day, For life is not the same for me, Since you were called away. It broke my heart to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you Home. I seem to see in the soft dim light, A face I loved the best, And think of her when the suns last rays, Goes down in the far off west. Lovingly remembered Murray

their voices are perfect for a duet. Another regular, Molly Cooney, is well cast as Cinderella. She too has a sweet voice which was perhaps most evident on the solo ‘I Have a Dream.’ The Beatles’ songbook is at the forefront in this inventive musical. I really enjoyed ‘Good Day Sunshine’ and their 1960s classic ‘She Was Just 17’. The 15member chorus does yeoman service. I told you this show is quirky. Underlining the fact is the performance of “The Bailiffs” who are bent on re-possessing all of Cinderella’s furniture. Jenny Pfitzer, Kathleen Everett and Mary Alexander put in energetic and entertaining performances in the roles of Rag, Tag and Bobtail. They end up as flunkeys in the palace. Meanwhile Buttons, Cinderella’s family servant, secretly loves the young lady. But he is too shy to tell her. I thought the performance of Kyle Booth as Buttons was perhaps the most enjoyable of all. He was outstanding. This show wouldn’t be complete without a Prince and Clifford Glas does well in one of the most demanding roles. Of course there are the ugly stepsisters, named Tutti and Frutti, who are well played by male actors Brian McManus (he’s always a joy to see in action) and Peter Meyer. Anther performance of particular note is that of veteran actress Trish Smith as the Fairy Godmother. Smith has a strong voice and I enjoyed her lead effort on ‘Magic’ the closing number of Act 1. Kudos to Mudds’ mainstay Jim MacGregor who plays the frustrated King (no one lets him sing) and Karen Lapointe as Cinderella’s father, the appropriately named Baron Hard-Up. This very different show even has a family of Hillbillies. The work of Dobbin the Horse (Kate Cooney and producer Balazsi) adds a nice touch. Credit as well to Tony Stuart the musical director. This presentation is very much about the music. The band led by Peter Brown and including Tom Kemp, Cory Ell, Eric Hardie and Frank Martens is excellent. One of our companions said she could “easily sit and listen to them (the band) all night.” Now there’s a compliment. An integral part of every Mudds’ production is costumes and Cinderella certainly doesn’t disappoint. Judith Scott and her eight member costume team can take a huge bow. There were audible gasps from the large audience when Cinderella unveiled her gown for the ball. It is breathtaking. Tony Scott and the set builders have done well and the props are good. Cinderella continues this weekend with performances Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. The matinee is all but sold out although at press time a handful of tickets remained at $15 each. Tickets are $20 apiece and can be purchased at Read’s Book Shop. Call 613-257-7323 for information. Submitted by Jeff Maguire on behalf of the Mississippi Mudds.

Trio bring violence against women agenda into the light desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Bill Cosby, Ray Rice and Jian Ghomeshi. Not poster boys urging an end to violence against women – and yet, unintentionally, they have done a great deal to change how we think about domestic violence, in just a few short weeks. While Ghomeshi appeared in a Toronto courtroom last week, charged with four counts of sexual assault, and one choking charge, Cosby’s saga is still unraveling, and he has yet to be charged with any crime. As for Rice, an arbitrator has ruled that he can resume his on-field duties with the Minnesota Vikings after he was indefinitely suspended by the National Football League (NFL) when video appeared of him striking his wife, knocking her unconscious, in an elevator in Las Vegas earlier this year. For people who deal with domestic violence on a daily basis, it may seem like an example of two steps forward, one step back. “It was nice to see the NFL take a strong stance, and see commentators make a strong stance (between plays),” said Hillary Wilson, a residential manager with Leeds-Grenville Interval House in Brockville, during a telephone interview on Monday, Dec. 1. However, not being privy to the Rice negotiations, “it’s hard to know what went on behind the scenes.” She conceded that, after the NFL’s decisive actions, followed by the prospect of his dismissal being overturned, “on the face of it, it sends a mixed message.” As the Ghomeshi scandal enters its legal phase, Wilson sees positives, and drawbacks, as the story continues. “I think it’s good to see the police taking the issue seriously,” she said, with Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair urging women to come forward, and one of the CBC Radio star’s accusers, Trailer Park Boys actress Lucy DeCoutere, saying how professional and ac-

commodating his officers were in hearing her statement. “Police are getting more and more special training,” said Wilson. “It has made a difference.” When it comes to their interactions with both the Brockville Police Service and the OPP, “as a shelter here… the police have been very cooperative with us. We find the police are quite helpful.” One way in which she has seen policing change is that, when possible, a male and a female officer will be sent to a domestic violence call, and that the onus is no longer placed on the woman, with the question, “Would you like to press charges?” not being asked as much today. However, Ghomeshi will likely plead not guilty to all charges against him. “It’s not unusual that he would plead not guilty,” she said. Speaking generally, not about Ghomeshi’s case and its merits, she added that, by pleading not guilty, “it puts the victim in the place of having to tell her story,” all over again. And then, up on the witness stand, “you will have to go through all of those questions. It’s one of the things that the perpetrator counts on.” At her work, however, “we always believe the woman when she comes forward. That’s the role we take.” With all three scandals, as well as the ongoing sexual harassment scandal engulfing Parliament Hill, providing a lot of fodder for talk radio, comment sections and water coolers, Wilson reports that they have not led to an increase in calls to her facility, but, “it’s started a conversation about it.” Interestingly, “I discuss it more in my personal life,” than at work, where 10 beds in six bedrooms accommodate women and their children escaping abusive situations. “My hope would be that… it would make them (abused women) pick up the phone,” she said.

Because they stand out as such pillars of society, “people were reluctant to speak out about it,” and the alleged offences they carried out. She has seen for herself where a woman she has helped will have left an abusive partner who, outside of the family home, comes across as “charming and funny and a great neighbour and a good employee,” making the allegations against them even harder to believe. “When people have honed their persona… we are very quick to give the benefit of the doubt.” She pointed to Ghomeshi’s Facebook essay, posted on the day he was fired – hours before the Toronto Star’s first story of allegations broke that Sunday evening on Oct. 26 – where “he certainly tried to paint himself in the best possible light,” that he was being fired for his less-than-mainstream tastes in the bedroom. Dec. 6 commemorations The timing of the scandals, though coincidental, comes right in the middle

of an interesting period on the calendar for women’s shelters. Nov. 25 marks the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and Dec. 6, this year, marks the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, when 14 women were killed by a gunman who singled the female engineering students out for murder. The Interval House women’s shelters in Leeds and Grenville and Lanark County will both be holding events to mark the day this Saturday. The Brockville event will be held at O’Mally Kourt Fudgery, 55 King St. W., from 1 to 2 p.m. Opening remarks will be made by lawyer and activist Pamela Cross, along with a rose ceremony to commemorate the lost women.

News – Gerry Huddleston, Almonte General Hospital (AGH)/Fairview Manor Foundation executive director, has been charged with stealing funds from the organization. According to a Dec. 2 Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) press release, the OPP have been investigating the situation since receiving an Oct. 2 report. “...It was reported that a cash donation was missing and unaccounted for,” the release stated. “The Lanark County OPP Crime Unit commenced an investigation.”

Ghomeshi was, in Wilson’s words, “very progressive, and affable,” having minored in women’s studies at York University, protested for abortion rights, and cultivating an image as a modern, sensitive artist. Cosby, meanwhile, earned the name “America’s Dad,” during his sweater-clad Cosby Show days in the 1980s.

Billy and Darrell, two five-month old pups that have been altered, vetted and cared for by foster parents through Mel’s Farm. They are seeking their forever homes. On Saturday, a fundraising event, photos with Santa, is being held at Pet Alley in Smiths Falls, with donations to help care for animals like these two pooches that are a hound/shepherd mix.

Darrell, Billy seeking their forever homes

Photos with Santa event will help with their veterinary costs ljweir@metroland.com

News – Melanie Young’s photos with Santa fundraiser was so successful in Perth two weeks ago, that another event will be held Saturday in Smiths Falls. Close to $1,000 was raised thanks to a plethora of volunteers who made it a spectacular day in Perth, Young said. On Saturday, Santa is coming to Pet Alley, 45 Chambers St., and he wants his photo taken with your pet. Come down to Pet Alley from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and have Kat Durant take your photo and capture that special moment with your pet companion. A $20 donation will go to Mel’s Farm, All Animal Rescue, and that fee will get you a digital image of your pet. This time around, Young has some special pets that are up for adoption. Two five-month old hound/German shepherd mix are “sweethearts,” she says. She just picked them up on Nov. 28. As a result of not being able to spay

one female dog, 21 pups were born – 11 from one litter and 10 from another. “This is why spaying and neutering is so important,” Young says. “In one year’s time you can see as many as 200 more pups being born from these two litters if not spayed or neutered in time. To prevent this, we along with a couple members of our community took on the responsibility of re-homing these pups after they were fully vetted which includes being spayed/neutered, all vaccinations - rabies, microchipped, dewormed, and Revolutioned.” Young received a call from an associate saying these dogs needed help. Doing what they do best, Young and her volunteers went to work. “Winter is coming and there was concern over being able to find families for these pups before the snow started flying. They had tried for some time to find homes but soon realized it was a hard task. There are just so many animals available out there,” she said. “Too

many animals. “Together we loaded them up into two cars and took them to the vet. The ride was uneventful, which is a good thing,” Young added. “ The pups were quite well behaved considering they were from the country and had never been in a car before, never really seen traffic, never seen a vet.” She has named them Darrell and Billy. Darrell is the bigger and more social one while Billy is a little more reserved, she said. Both have great personalities and would be great with children, cats and other dogs. Adoption fee $275 is required to make these dogs a member of the family. That’s a small price to pay for all the vet care that they have had so far. Please go to www.melsfarm.ca to fill out an adoption application. Currently, Darrell and Billy are being fostered, but they are desperately seeking their forever homes.

ers. “We had the excess capacity,” he said. Nutrition is an important part of the puzzle, and providing nutritious meals is something the billet family ensures. The Buffams also do the players’ laundry, and sometimes, “it’s a challenge trying to figure out whose socks and underwear are whose” if their children are home, he said with a laugh. The Buffams also provide rides to school (as was needed with past years’ players who were attending St. John Catholic High School in Perth), to doctors’ appointments, and to and from the arena. “And if they want to go to Rob Roy’s (team sponsor and local pub in Smiths Falls) then they just have to call us for a ride home,” he said. Communication is key, Buffam said, to keep issues to a minimum. “They respect our rules,” he said. “If there is ever an issue, we talk it out.”

Sports - Fans might know that this year’s Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears hockey team has a contingent of local young players. But for those on the club’s roster who don’t have easy access to the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre – the Bears Den – the club depends on its billet homes. “We have 13 players this year who are billeted,” said Debbie Cassell. She and her husband Chris own the team. Debbie is this year’s billet coordinator, taking over the reins from Dave White. “Dave’s done a fantastic job over the years,” she said. “This is my first year, and it’s a learning experience,” but one that she said she’s enjoying. Cassell said they are always looking to find billet homes for these young players aged 16 to 20. The boys spend from August to April (or longer, depending on a playoff run) with their billet families. “These local families are responsible for these kids,” she said. “We have amazing billet families,” Cassell said. “They are so very important… they’re like a second family.” Head coach Mark Grady said if it wasn’t for these families, there wouldn’t be a hockey team. “They are probably one of the biggest assets we have as an organization,” Grady said. “We have to have them.” He said the key to success is to “stay out of the billet coordinator’s way” and as the coach, not the general manager, “I let the people who are good at what they do, do their jobs.” Grady said problems are “very minimal” but perhaps the biggest issue would be adapting to the lifestyle change… where they are culturally. “The coordinator does a good job of matching them up with families with

We’ve never had a problem.” Grady said the billet families are compensated financially, but “they certainly don’t do it for the money if you see the way these machines eat. We compensate billets as well as any team, or better, but at the end of the day, they’re not doing it for the money. They’re doing it for the right reasons. They want the young

She has taught me a lot… about myself, and about cleanliness. When I go home my mother is shocked that I’m actually picking up after myself.” He said his billet mother is like a second mom to him, “and she’s the best cook,” he said. “She spoils me rotten. I’m super grateful for all she has done. I thank her every day. I’ve gained a tremendous amount of life experience and maturity.” Pinios said he is enjoying his last year as a Bear, but it’s also a bittersweet season for this St. Paul’s School (New See BILLETS page SF17

Hampshire) graduate who will continue his education with a goal to becoming an actuary or investment banker. He has a scholarship to Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., where he will attend next fall. “There will be a lot of tears,” Seguin said, explaining her billets have been like her own children. Becoming a billet was not an easy decision for Seguin, a teacher at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, who has been doing this for the past three seasons. “I don’t have kids of my own, I’m a teacher, so other than my students, these guys are like my kids,” she said. “I never thought I’d ever do this, but at the time, my husband wanted to try it.” That trial basis turned into a full-time gig when they met their first player, Cole Allard. “Once we met him, we knew he wasn’t going anywhere,” Seguin said. Seguin and her husband separated in the spring of this year, and she was concerned about hosting a player as a single “mom.” She said she contacted the Pinios family when she heard that Michael was looking for a place to stay. “When Michael wanted to come back, I contacted his parents and told them of my situation,” she explained. “They were OK with it,” and she welcomed Pinios back for a second year. Respect – it’s a give and take relationship, she said. “They respect the home rules but I don’t have to enforce them. They have their general chores and clean up after themselves. It works well,” she said. Pinios’ father, Steven, said he wished he could create hundreds of billets like Seguin. “She is wonderful, amazing… if we could design a billet on a computer, it would be like her,” he said. “She’s caring and giving and sympathetic… a great cook, a disciplinarian. We are blessed. She has even come to our house.” Steven Pinios said he’s had the opportunity to drive the two hours to watch his son play about 10 times this season. Last year, he went “to about 40 games.” Another plus for Seguin having a player or two (this year she also has Chris Hawley) is that in the summer, when she hosts a child from Belarus, their time overlaps in August. “I’ve hosted a Russian boy for three years. Vadsim is now 14 and he really looks up to Michael,” she said. “Spending time together is good for both boys, we were lucky to spend time with Michael’s family in the summer.” Seguin said she has carried on a relationship with all the boys’ families over the years since she’s been a billet mom. “That’s something I won’t ever give up. I hate to see them go, but am also glad to see them return to their families with so much happiness.” She said she will miss their “family time” as she has hosted several of the players for weekend get-togethers. “This

Three of 13 billeted Bears players spoke with the Record News recently about how they are enjoying life on the road away from their home towns.

is where they hang out on the weekends,” she said. “I cook for five or six of them. I had several here for Thanksgiving.” Being the youngest of eight children herself, Seguin said she enjoys the times she spends with “her boys” around the dinner table. “It’s truly the most rewarding experience,” she said as to why she does it. Happy in Smiths Falls Pinios said he’s been blessed to spend this time in Smiths Falls. “The training staff is amazing… and having Rob Dopson, (goalie/defence coach) who played in the NHL, that’s a huge plus. Rob has been a great mentor for me… he’s helped me develop my mental game, and Coach Grady’s been great. We’re all treated like a pro team.” Pinios has been the go-to goalie as of

late, recording some big shoot-out victories. “I love shootouts,” he said. I just try and go out there and go a shift at a time… until the whistle goes. I just relieve myself of what has happened on the previous shift.” Being a goalie is something of a solitary position, he said. “It’s a team game, but at the same time, I feel alone. I just try and keep my team in the game, if I can.” Pinios has a younger sister, Maria. His mother’s name is Theo Dermatic and the family lives in Laval, Que. Josh LeBlanc, 17, is from Odessa, Ont. He’s billeted by Brian Lawson of Frankville. This is his first year away from home. The former Amherstview Jr. C Jets forward said he’s finding the jump to Jr. A hockey a great experience. So far this sea-

son, he’s No. 6 on the team’s scoring list with 18 points (7 goals 11 assists). “It’s a great organization and I love the team chemistry,” he said. When asked how he is adjusting to living life away from home, he said it’s great. “My billet family is like a second family to me,” he said. “When my mom told me that I’d have to do my own laundry and learn to live on my own, I wasn’t sure what to expect.” But he said his billet family has “been really great… they treat me like one of their own.” LeBlanc said his own family comes to the home games on Friday nights, since it’s not too far to drive. As for spending money, like most other players, LeBlanc has worked a summer job and saved for is other expenses. “My

parents are great too, to help me out financially,” he said. LeBlanc has an older brother, Cole, and a younger sister, Brielle, who sings the national anthem for the home games. He is the son of Paul and Wendy LeBlanc. Perhaps one of the hardest adjustments for Noah Gurr is moving to a small town like Smiths Falls from Vaughan, Ont., which is a little bit of a shock to the system. Gurr, 18, joins the Bears for his first year and is billeted with Penny Evoy in town. He said having a second-year player, Sebastian Barrett as a housemate made it a smoother transition to the billet environment. “Sebastian has helped for sure,” Gurr said. “It’s different, coming here from a big city but so far it’s been a great experience. It’s a really relaxed way of life here.” Gurr is a right winger, coming to the Bears from the ‘AAA’ Toronto Young Nats. Being used to lots of driving in the big city, he said now “I just live down the street from the arena.” He said being a Bear, “we are treated like rock stars in town” by the fans. “It’s a first-class organization. And seeing the crowds on a home game is amazing.” Gurr has a younger sister, Rachel and an older brother, Max. His parents are Marcie and Yuval Gurr.

Bears’ Doef, Henry head to World Jr. A Challenge selection camp Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Sports - Smiths Falls Bears forward Neil Doef, and Jared Henry, big defenceman, will make their way to Toronto this weekend for the selection camp for the

2014 World Junior A Challenge’s Canada East team. Assistant coach Walt Dubas said he is not sure of the process, but that Doef and Henry will be in Toronto for selection camp.

If successful, the players will be on the ice in Saskatchewan, with their head coach, Mark Grady, who has been named as an assistant coach to the team. “We’re going to lose Mark for the better part of December, so those assistant

coaches better be earning their wages,” Dubas said, tongue-in-cheek. He and Rob Dopson will be covering for Grady in his absence. Canada East will face off against Switzerland on Sunday, Dec. 14, and

on Tuesday, Dec. 16, they will meet the United States. The tournament is taking place in Kindersley, Sask. Coach Grady said he’d rather be here right now, compared to the weather that’s shaking in Saskatchewan.

Bears take another win in nail-biting shootout against Kemptville 73’s Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Kevin Groulx and Neil Doef were a little wide on this attempt to score on Kemptville Friday night, as the 73’s goalie Jacob Tugnutt flips the puck out of the crease.

Sports - Michael Pinios says he loves shootouts. It’s a chance for him to show the fans and coaching staff what he’s got, and that’s what he’s been doing lately. The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears goaltender has had four shootout wins in five starts, including Friday night’s 3-2 decision over the Kemptville 73’s. In an interview earlier in the week, Pinios said he enjoyed the opportunity to keep his team in the game. As a goalie, he said it’s kind of a loner position, and heading into a shootout, he likes to clear his head a bit. “I just skate to the boards and focus... get rid of the previous shifts and try to win one for the team,” he said, as to how he keeps his head in the game. Pinios was outstanding Nov. 28 - or rather, standing on his head, including in the shootout where three Kemptville shooters tried in desperation to get past the veteran netman. Kemptville held a 2-1 lead at the end of the first period with goals from Jason Tackett and Shawn Cameron. Taylor Henry replied for the Bears with a nifty wrap-around marker that found 73’s Jacob Tugnutt outside his goal crease. Henry was by himself on the goal scored after a few attempts to tuck it inside the corner pocket on Tugnutt’s open corner. Neil Doef was stopped on his attempt on a break-away when Tugnutt slammed the door on the Bears’ leading scorer, who was looking for his 40th point of the season. Karson McCartney gave the Bears the tying goal when he scored the lone marker in the second period. Through a scoreless third period, the action was fast and furious at both ends of the net, and the game could have gone

either way. Another scoreless period, this time the overtime frame, resulted as Tugnutt and Pinios played the stingy game, forcing the shootout. “Taking two points from that game was great when it could have gone either way,” said Bears assistant coach Walt Dubas. “It was not a bad end result. That game could have gone either way. Kemptville is coming on.” Kevin Groulx had the first goal of the shootout to record the winning marker for the Bears.

Stars of the game were all from the final seconds of the period to tie the Smiths Falls, including Henry, Doef and game before the buzzer. In the second Gloucester had goals Noah Gurr. There were more than 500 from the league’s sharpshooter Ryan fans in attendance. Kuffner who has 20 goals and 22 assists for 42 points.

didn’t have very good luck with their top line,” said Dubas. “They’re hard to handle.” The Bears outshoot the Rangers 17-6 in the third period after struggling in the second. “The first period was OK,” Dubas said. “Trouble is, you can’t win a game playing just 40 minutes. We struggled a bit in the second. We allowed space and they took advance of that… had a bad bounce in the third period.” In the third, Daniel Lombardi tied the rally when he scored from McCartney and Taylor Henry at 12:50. But the boys couldn’t get any more scoring as Gloucester shut them down and scored the winner with Joey Fallon’s goal with 13:48 showing. Gloucester cruised on to the win with David Richer picking up the W in nets, turning away 28 shots. Cole Skinner took the loss with 20 saves. Game stars were Richer (Rangers, first), McKenney (Bears, second) and Antonio Micucci (Rangers, third). The attendance was recorded at just 220 fans. The Bears are coming in to a tough December, especially with coach Mark Grady off to the world junior cup in Saskatchewan as an assistant coach. “We just played game 32… we’re starting to get into the grind of it. The physical aspect is getting tougher,” Duba said. With a current trade just finishing, the Bears gave up Brandon Lesway in exchange for Olivier Chabot from the Kemptville 73’s. They have also obtained Brody Barkley from the Morrisburg Jr. B Lions of the EOJHL. Coming up, Thursday, the Bears are in Kanata for a 7:30 p.m. start and on Friday, the team hosts Pembroke at 7:30 p.m. Smiths Falls hosted Hawkesbury on Tuesday night, but results weren’t available at press time.

Brooke Henderson among top three as Athlete of the Year voting winds down Sports - The Ontario Sports Hall of Fame is proud to recognize top amateur and professional athletes in Ontario, whose outstanding performances in both national and international arenas have inspired people across the province. The Syl Apps Athlete of the Year Award celebrates the contributions of top athletes in Ontario, and is awarded to the athlete who is determined to be deserving of such recognition. This year’s finalists include: Milos Raonic, tennis; Kyle Lowry, basketball; Brooke Mackenzie Henderson, golf; Patrick Husbands, horse racing; Russell Martin, baseball; Corey Perry, hockey; and Jose Bautista, baseball. The Ontario Sports Hall of Fame is looking to the public for the first time ever to select the 2014 Syl Apps Ontario Athlete of the Year. This is an important opportunity for the public to participate and have their say in who should be elected into the Hall. Visit http://oshof.ca/ and vote. According to the latest voting figures, Brooke was among the top three vote getters as of Nov. 27 along with the Raptors’ Lowry. Winners will be announced and recognized at a gala event in the fall of 2015 in Toronto. Recognizing outstanding athletes and celebrating their achievements supports Ontario in building a stronger province where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. “The idea of sports fans and hall supporters voting electronically for the Sly Apps Athlete of the Year Award is working. As president, I am proud to say of the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame has inaugurated this project giving sports fans a chance to truly participate in shaping the future of the OSHF,” said Bruce Prentice, president and chair, Ontario Sports Hall of Fame board of directors. “I am sure the OSHF’s vision will continue to grow and move forward.” Established in 1995, the Ontario Sports Hall

Brittany goes for LPGA Tour card this week Sports – Tiger Woods’ niece Cheyenne is there. So too is Morgan Pressel’s little sister Madison. But the one to watch at this week’s Stage III of the LPGA Qualifying Tournament for Smiths Falls residents is Brittany Henderson. The local resident successfully navigated through the first two stages of Q-School this fall. She’s now one step from gaining her tour card for 2015. To do that, however, Brittany – daughter of Dave and Darlene Henderson and younger sister of rising golf star Brooke – will have to finish in the top 45 among the talented field of 155 amateur and professional female golfers. A top-20 finish would give her entry to most of the tour’s fullfield events next year.

The entire field will play 72 holes (Wednesday, Dec. 3 to Saturday, Dec. 6) at LPGA International’s Hills and Jones courses in Daytona Beach, Fla. The top 70 and ties advance to a fifth and final round on Sunday, Dec. 7. According to lpga.com, the field features golfers from 30 countries. Henderson is one of 10 Canadians, including former LPGA Tour pro Lorie Kane of Charlottetown, PEI. Brittany teed off Wednesday at 9:39 a.m. on the Hills Course. Her playing partners were Jenni Jenq of Saratoga, Calf., and Maria Hernandez of Pamplona, Spain. Check www.insideottawavalley.com/smithsfalls-on-news for the latest throughout the week.

Voting is still open for Brooke Henderson, a finalist for the Syl Apps Ontario Athlete of the Year Award.

of Fame is dedicated to honouring athletes and personalities with outstanding achievement in sports in Ontario, Canada. Unveiled on January 13, 1998, the Syl Apps Award is emblematic of Ontario’s Athlete of the Year. Finalists are nominated by members of the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame Board of Directors and the Hall’s Advisory Board, a group of former athletes and sport administrators from across Ontario. To be eligible for the award, athletes must be Ontario-born or Ontario-based and made an outstanding and memorable contribution to Ontario sports during the previous calendar year. Previous recipients include Rosie MacLennan (gymnast), Patrick Chan (figure skating), Joey Votto (baseball), Daniel Nestor (tennis).

Sports - The RedHawks pulled off a double basketball championship last weekend. The teams travelled together to cheer each other on in the Panthers-Falcons Classic in Cornwall - a tournament the RedHawks have won multiple times in the past, but never a combined junior-senior championship. The senior boys defeated Arnprior and LaCitadelle in the preliminary round. In the semifinals, the senior Hawks won a thriller against an athletic and talented St. Lawrence team. The resilient Hawks continue to fight to the final whistle, clawing back from a seven-point deficit a number of times in the fourth quarter. The last run forced overtime where the Hawks finally pulled ahead. In the championship final, the RedHawks overcame the home court advantage of Holy Trinity (along with some home court officiating) and once again showed extreme resilience after fighting back from an early deficit, said Todd Spencer, coach. The junior RedHawks, were first this time to

the championship. The Hawks defeated the home squad from Holy Trinity, Cornwall in their final, which took place right before the senior game. The juniors controlled a small lead most of the game and held off a number of surges from HT to show their own resilience. The final result after two Smiths Falls and Holy Trinity finals, would be a double RedHawks tournament championship and 25 T-shirts. In preseason play, the Hawks program has counted for four tournament championship wins. The LCIAA home was Dec. 2 as Carleton Place was in town. Thursday, the seniors host Almonte at 1:30 p.m. and the juniors are on the court at 3 p.m. This weekend, the senior boys are heading to Queen’s to play in a tournament. Their first game Friday at 1:30 p.m. against Holy Cross. The juniors are up against Rideau District High School at 2:40 p.m. Friday in a tournament at Thousand Islands Secondary School in Brockville, and at 4:40 p.m. the juniors will play against St. Mary.

SMITH SMITHSFALLS FALLS

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

Sports - The Smiths Falls District High School RedHawks senior boys volleyball team had a hard-fought match against the TISS Pirates in the Upper Canada Cup final on Nov. 25 in Smiths Falls. Despite their two-game sweep over the Pirates in pool play, the Brockville team turned it around for the final, sweeping the Hawks in two straight. The RedHawks settled for silver, their first medal in senior boys volleyball in the past 10 years. To the right, coach Kristen Drouin gets her silver medal.

Sports – The Thousand Islands Secondary School Pirates used pool play as a warm up to the Upper Canada Cup finals Nov. 26 in Smiths Falls, earning the championship in two games straight to take the title. Conrad Walpot, coach of the Pirates, said the team was focused, knowing it was a championship match. In their first match against the hosting Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute RedHawks, the red birds swept the Pirates in two straight. “The first match of the day, we weren’t playing as well as we could,” Walpot said. “As the day progressed, we just got better and kept on playing better.” The Pirates had to get past the Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils, who had a few players missing with injuries. “It was a good day, despite the injuries,” said Kelly Paul, the Blue Devils coach. “We’ve got illness and injuries. Of course, with basketball starting right now, we’ve got some ankle injuries, and we had one not even make it to the bus...” Perth claimed the second set, 27-25, of their semi-final bout against the Pirates to tie the

match, forcing the third game, which TISS rallied to win, 15-8. TISS took the first set 25-18. “Perth gave us a good match (in the semis),” said Walpot. “I don’t think Smiths Falls played us as hard (in the finals) as they did in their first game.” Going from a half-court day to a full-court final didn’t seem to hinder the play of the Pirates. “For us, no it doesn’t bother us,” Walpot said. “We try and practise on a full court; playing half-court doesn’t happen too often through the season. We have been to other tournaments too where we’ve played centre court, so we have some experience there. It’s a little bit different, but we adjust.” As for the finals, the coach said it was a good match. “We could have played better but I’m happy with the results.” Across the court, Smiths Falls coach Kristen Drouin was ecstatic, despite the loss. “I think they (TISS) just got in their (RedHawks) heads. We are used to playing half-court all the time, so sometimes just having all the extra space around is a bit different. Unfortunately, in the first set, we just waited to long and same in the second… we waited too long to get in the game. It’s hard to claw back 10,

12, 15 points,” she said. The RedHawks tried their best, she said, “… just fell a little short, unfortunately.” The coach said the boys did some “really, really wonderful things today and I’m really proud of them.” It was a bonus day, she said. “I got to hang out with my guys again and we got to do some really great things. Overall, it was a really great day.” Drouin said she was happy that the boys earned a medal. “In the 10 years that I’ve been hear, we have never medaled in senior boys volleyball and we made it to a senior boys final. We have always been eliminated in the semis.” Falling short though, she said she did see that as a challenge. “It’s kind of frustrating, yes, but… bright side – we’ve done something that we’ve never, ever done here… since I’ve been here. So I’m really proud, and really excited. I’m sad that three of my guys are leaving, they’re graduating this year.” Those graduating RedHawks include Logan Craig, Kyle Hurlburt and Devin Wilkinson. “I’ll miss them a lot – I really have nothing to complain about,” Drouin said. “It was really wonderful. They’re all so funny.”

Region comes together to keep loved ones with dementia safe Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News – Stakeholders have joined forces in an effort to keep the county’s dementia clients safe, and challenge local residents to be part of the solution. A day-long working session at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre Nov. 27 focused on setting down the foundation for a county-wide plan to reduce the fatalities of dementia clients who go missing. “The biggest thing we’re looking for is to bring that person home,” added Const. Dave Murphy of the Smiths Falls Police Service. “We all have a pair of eyes – each one of us. We need the civilians to start looking for people.” Residents who see something out of place such as a person not dressed properly for the weather, looking confused or concerned and standing still for a long period of time; are encouraged to call 9-1-1 as this person may already have been reported missing. “We have to help one another,” said Sgt. Jeff Arnold of the OPP Emergency Response Team. The concept of creating a Finding Your Way plan for Lanark County is a timely one as the baby boomer generation continues to enter their golden years. Statistics from the Lanark County Alzheimer’s Society project there will be a 50 per cent increase in dementia cases in the next five years (or one million people diagnosed) nation wide. Drilling down to Lanark County, Sandra Lawn (session facilitator) estimates this means 1,320 individuals in the county today are suffering from some

form of dementia. “These are the people that we’re here to worry about today. Every single person is important,” Lawn said. She emphasized 90 per cent of seniors don’t have dementia, but the indication that the number being diagnosed will continue to rise makes creating a county-wide safety plan not only timely but necessary. Many in the room last week spoke of the obstacle of denial or downplaying of a loved one’s illness as one of the major difficulties in keeping all county residents safe. “I want you to still be independent and I want you to do as much as possible, but you still need to remain safe,” explained Robin Hull, education and support coordinator at Lanark County Alzheimer Society. Ken and Lorraine Martin are a local couple who have been living with Ken’s diagnosis of dementia for five years. They took a pro-active approach from the start and have sought out educational opportunities such as Nov. 27’s working session. “We’ve accepted it as something we can not change, but we can make better,” Lorraine added. “I’ll tell you this: denial is a killer.” The couple took home a lot of helpful information that day including a suggestion to notch out a piece of your loved one’s shoe so it makes a unique impression on the ground and can be discovStacey Roy/METROLAND ered easier by police.

someone with dementia. Police have found an area of no more than 2.4 km is ideal when trying to bring someone back alive. In rural areas the search region can grow much beyond this very quickly so swiftly contacting police is essential. Care facilities are also asked to inform police of who was in charge at the time the person went missing, as well as any known hazards or areas of interest the individual liked to visit close by. Most often people are found very close by where they live. Never underestimate they may be sitting in the garage,” Sgt. Arnold said. Officers will search the building first and then any areas of interest before branching out into a large ground search. Sgt. Arnold reminded those present that only one per cent of dementia cases will respond when called, so it’s critical family is involved from the beginning to identify areas of interest as soon as possible. Louise Noble with the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County suggested hosting a caregiver information night with the OPP to share this information and other helpful tips. This would be a day organized in concert with all agencies and would be one of many opportunities to work with the police in education initiatives. Part of the action plan includes increased coverage by the media. It was also noted greater sharing of information between the organization and police can only help to keep everyone safe.

lost. If you find someone you suspect could have dementia it’s important to keep calm, not approach them from the back, and use short and simple words. If needed repeat the question using the same words and stay with them until the police or family arrives. Providing a means to find your loved one can allow them to keep their independence while maintaining safety. Location devices offer this kind of peace of mind, but at a cost. The cost of effecting long-term change to such a wide issue in rural eastern Ontario is being addressed by a new grant program offered by Grants Ontario known as Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant. This program will provide up to $25,000 for communities under 20,000 people who are planning, implementing or evaluating programs that contribute to an agefriendly community.

Reader questions dealership charging for time when problem isn’t found Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I read your column with interest and have found many tips along the way. The column about recall info caught my attention as my car was one of the ones affected by the ignition switch problem. I scheduled an appointment, took the car in to the dealership where I had bought it and didn’t wait long before it was ready to go. After watching Fifth Estate (or was it W5?), I was really concerned. I thought some “pin” in the ignition would be replaced. But no…all they did was to attach a piece of “something” to the key itself, to make the ring-hole in the key smaller. My question is…how does making the keyhole smaller, affect the ignition itself? My car is a 2012 Buick Lucerne.” AP The GM ignition-switch recall (where the switch was replaced) for the Buick Lucerne only involved vehicles up to the 2011 model year. Your vehicle’s call-back was to reduce the size of a key ring you can attach to your Buick’s ignition key. Even with a properly working ignition switch, carmakers (not just GM) are urging people not to attach anything to their ignition key. Your dealer took the correct action. “Hello Brian, I enjoy reading your articles on the problems with the check engine light coming on in

vehicles. My 2012 Ford Explorer was sending a check brake system warning periodically and I was unhappy with the way Ford deals with these types of problems. I have an extended warranty for 150,000 km with no deductible. I was charged $100 for a dealer to check on this. They could not find the problem so they charged for the service. Later I took it back to my original selling dealer and they replaced a circuit board and that seems to have resolved the problem. I think Ford should repay my $100 but they say no. Is there any other way of resolving this? Ford told me it is their policy to allow dealers to charge for their time if they cannot find the problem. My policy is not to pay Ford for not being able to find a problem with their own vehicle. Ford did eventually resolve the brake problem afterwards and did it under my warranty.” I would appreciate your comments. SB Thanks for the readership and question. When it comes to diagnostic time required to identify specific repairs or parts needed, few dealerships or their technicians are ever happy with the time given by automakers in their warranty labour time guides. Some diagnoses are easy taking only a few moments for an experienced tech and some take hours

with shop manual diagnostic manuals requiring multiple tests on components and wiring harnesses that are often hard to locate and reach. That being said, this should be an issue between Ford and its dealership(s) not Ford and you. Offering a warranty that doesn’t cover all the labour is really of no value. The implied terms of most warranties indicate that if a covered part is found defective, the labour to diagnose and replace it will also be covered. About the only exception to this would be the extra time to remove non-factory equipment to access the part (having to take off trailer hitch you installed to access a covered bumper part for example). Carmakers also won’t cover consequential damages such as lost time at work, replacement fuel, etc. But they spell this out up front in their warranty contracts and booklets. I would suggest sending a letter to Ford of Canada’s head ofﬁce customer service department along with copies of

1973 Mustang Mach I helping to find a cure for cancer Community – Doug Fernick of Grimsby, Ont., is very pleased to see his 1973 Mustang Mach I displayed in dazzling yellow in the 2015 “Detroit Muscle Cruises for a Cure” calendar produced by Ray Vella of Mississauga, Ont. (info@rayvellaphoto.com). The calendar is $15 with all proceeds benefiting the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, one of the top five cancer research centres in the world. Ray photographed twelve muscle cars in colour for his 2015 calendar. Doug’s 1973 Mustang Mach I is the feature car for October. It was built in

Dearborn, Michigan, in May 1973 and the original delivery was to Kansas City, Missouri. Doug’s car features a 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8 with 4-speed floor shift manual transmission, 3:25 axle ratio, and 266 horsepower (the highest for Mustang of that year). It was the last of the full-size Mustangs. The roof is half vinyl, an option on the ’73 Mustang. Other features include power steering and power brakes, AM radio, tinted glass, two-tone hood paint, NASCAR hood, original yellow paint, and 70x14 raised white lettered bias ply tires. The first Mach 1 arrived as a

1969 model with high performance to compete with GM’s Camaro. Doug initially found his Mach 1 on eBay, but before he could buy it, someone in Grimsby, Ont., had purchased it. Doug figured the car had been sold to Wayne Hampton from Classic Car by Hampton. Doug contacted Wayne and before he knew it, Doug was

the new owner of the Mustang Mach 1. This was the start of a great friendship between Wayne and Doug and now they regularly attend cruise nights together. In the past six years, Ray Vella and his wife have raised over $45,000 for cancer research, with more than half coming from their Classic Car Calendars.

“When we started our fund raising back in 2009,” says Ray, “I participated in my first Ride to Conquer Cancer. This epic cycling journey, which began in 2008, now attracts over 5,000 cyclists making the 2-day trek from Toronto to Niagara Falls. “Inspired by this Ride, I began photographing classic cars and producing calendars. It has been a year round effort from arranging shoots, editing and selling the calendars at cruise nights, swap meets, and word of mouth. For the last two years, Global Appetite Inc. has been the corporate sponsor for the calendars, and
