Porn harms

Roger Loyer holds Ruby, a four-year-old domestic short-haired cat prior to surgery to remove her injured right eye. The collar was placed around her neck by staff at the North Lanark Veterinary Services to keep her from scratching at it. Loyer believes his cat was shot by an errant hunter, and wants to warn others to practice safety at all costs.

White Ribbon Campaign returns By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The banner promoting the White Ribbon Campaign Against Pornography will once more fly over Foster Street this October. Following a spirited but cordial debate at the town’s committeeof-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10, council voted to let the banner be hung over the busy street, by a count of 6-1, with the sole exception of Coun. Beth Peterkin. She also voted against an earlier motion to disallow any political or religious messages from banners on Foster Street. “I find the wording of the ‘Porn Harms’ banner a little harsh,” said Peterkin, adding she had concerns “with that wording being hung over our main street.” Mayor John Fenik however said the current policy should continue to stand, to allow the director of community services, currently Shellee Evans, to decide which banners should be hung on a caseby-case basis, though he emphasized that overtly political banners would not pass muster. “Whether it is Randy Hillier or Justin Trudeau, or the Jewish or Christian communities, it won’t be allowed,” said Fenik. “Council should give equal judgment. Would I support some radical Muslim group saying ‘Don’t teach women?’ I won’t.” Deputy Mayor John Gemmell also expressed his support for the banner. “We have cancer awareness week,” said Gemmell. “This is a cancer. I don’t have a problem with the banner. If the skinheads show up (and want to fly a banner) the answer is no.” Last year the town took the banner down early, after about four phone calls, and one email, in opposition. There was one email in favour of it. “There were complaints lodged at the town hall,” said Evans.

News – The sleek tabby cat is wary of a visitor, but she puts on a brave face behind the plastic white cone that circles her neck, put there by her veterinarian to keep her from scratching at her injured right eye. The four-year-old domestic short-haired cat, owned by Roger and Gwen Loyer of rural route Perth, is just starting to come around after a weeklong ordeal that will result in the removal of her eye through surgery at a local veterinary clinic, slated for this week. “We have gone through a lot with her… she’s like our kid,” says Roger, as he gently strokes the cat’s fur while Ruby purrs in his lap. The Loyers have four cats – three of them were strays that were dropped off over the years. They are all indoor/outdoor, altered cats that have noth-

ing but salmon, chicken and cream for breakfast. Dry cat food and water are always at their disposal. “When we let her outside last Saturday night, I figured she’d be home first thing in the morning, because they never miss breakfast,” Roger said. “But when Ruby didn’t come home, I got worried.” He’d been looking for her on their 100 acres of wooded property off the Tennyson Road, east of Perth. He wasn’t having any luck. “I found her on Wednesday morning… she was so close to death; it was horrible,” said Gwen. Ruby had managed to drag her wounded body home, and up a flight of stairs to her bed, but the Loyers took her to the North Lanark Veterinary Services straight away once they saw how badly she was wounded.

CDSBEO develops bully prevention plan discipline, schools are instructed to respond to and deal with difficult behaviours by using a restorative approach, allowing students to understand the effect of their actions. The approach facilitates an environment where relationships can be repaired and rebuilt. Additional specialized student supports are put in place when a serious or repeated case may exist in order to stop bullying and student victimization. The draft plan will be publicly available for consultation; any comments can be directed to Karen.Hogan@cdsbeo. on.ca. Use of copyright-protected works for education The Copyright Act (R.S.C. 1985) is the federal statute that governs copyright law in Canada. The act is intended to balance the interests that people have in using copyright-protected works with the rights of creators to receive payment for the use of those works. On June 29, 2012, the act was amended with the passage of the Copyright Modernization Act. A key amendment was the expanded fair dealing provision to identify education as one of the eligible purposes for fair dealing. The Ministry of Education has, in response, set out recommended guidelines to describe the conditions and limits of fair dealing for education, and by extension, the roles and responsibilities of school boards regarding the use of copyright-protected works in compliance with the copyright act. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Charlotte Rouleau, outlined the guidelines for fair dealing provisions to the board of trustees. These guidelines permit the use of copyright-protected works without permission or payment of royalties. To qualify for fair dealing, the use of the work must be for the purpose stated in the copyright act: research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire, and parody. In addition, use of the copyright-protected work must be fair; this means that a teacher can make copies of short excerpts for each student in her or her class, however teachers cannot copy whole textbooks. Examples of short excerpts include

a single article from a magazine, one chapter from a book, a newspaper article, or up to ten per cent of a copyrighted-protected work. Compliance strategies have been created for school boards, and the fair dealing guidelines have been distributed to all CDSBEO teachers. In addition, copyright posters which summarize the fair dealing guidelines have been posted for educators at Board computers, work stations, and photocopiers. Ontario EcoSchools certification Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental education and certification program for grades kindergarten to 12 that helps school communities develop both ecological literacy and environmental practices to become environmentally responsible citizens and reduce the ecological footprint of schools. Schools may apply to be certified as an EcoSchool through an annual certification process which assesses and recognizes accomplishments awarding points in six key areas of achievement. Curriculum consultant, Tanya Sesbreno, summarized the Ontario EcoSchools Certification Program for the board of trustees. In order to become certified, schools must consider the certification guide, which provides a quick reference tool for the five steps to certification. The guide also provides tips for successful completion of the certification process. Schools receive points for five areas of consideration which must be complete to obtain an EcoSchools certification. These five areas include: teamwork and leadership, energy conservation, waste minimization, school ground greening, curriculum connections to the environment, and environmental stewardship. Schools from the CDSBEO first began applying to become certified as an Ontario EcoSchool in 2009. That year, three elementary and three secondary schools became certified. Since then, applications from the board have grown exponentially each year. Nine schools were certified in the 2010-11 school year, 15 the following year, and 17 in the 2012-13 school year. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular meeting held Sept. 17 at the board office in Kemptville. A draft board bully prevention and intervention plan has been developed by the CDSBEO, in response to the Ministry of Education’s Policy Program Memorandum 144. Under this legislation, schools and school boards must provide students with the opportunity to learn and develop in a safe, inclusive, and accepting school climate. Research also indicates that early intervention is essential for both the victim of bullying and the child who bullies. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Dr. Donaleen Hawes, presented an overview of the draft plan to the board of trustees. To develop the plan, the board is soliciting views from principals, staff, students, parents, community partners, and the special education advisory committee. The plan focuses on building resiliency and using restorative practices for prevention, identifying targeted interventions, and providing specialized supports, including community mental health supports. Building resiliency and positive mental health is a central focus for the plan at the preventative stage. This approach is strengths based; encouraging students through positive supports which helps them to focus on developing their gifts. Resiliency surveys are used to help identify any students who may require additional supports to build resiliency. School teams focus on developing empathy, understanding and effective skills by using early prevention strategies and programs such as Roots of Empathy and WITS (Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, Seek help) and various social justice initiatives. Proactive classroom circles are used to support the building of an environment that is positive and inclusive. While many students respond positively to the prevention programs and activities, some students require more targeted interventions and specialized programs. Reinforced by the school code of conduct, and the use of progressive

Delta United congregation marks 185th anniversary Sept. 29 Events – Let’s celebrate! On Sunday, Sept. 29, starting at 10:30 a.m. the Delta United congregation will celebrate three milestones in the life of their congregation with guest minister Rev. David Timpson and special music by the choir. Refreshments will follow the service. The church celebrates 185 years having started as a Methodist congregation in 1828 with visits made by Saddle Bag Preachers out of Kingston. In the beginning the first settlers would meet in each other’s homes or at the school house and possibly the mill but they also congregated in the Anglican Church sharing space with the Baptists. A few years later the Anglican Diocese purchased the building.

They celebrate 125 years in their current building that includes the bell tower, sanctuary and hall. The Methodist congregation had built their first church in 1868 which in just 20 years they outgrew. In 1888, Beverley/Delta was a very prosperous community so the congregation managed to build their second church on land donated by the Russell family. In 1925 the Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists amalgamated to form the United Church of Canada, hence changing the name, but nonetheless the people continued to congregate in the same building. The celebration gives thanks to all who helped in any way with the renovations to the building. With fi-

nancial help from the federal government’s Community Infrastructure and Improvement Funding (CIIF) they have completed repairs/replacements to the main roof, installed an energy efficient propane furnace and a new hot water tank. With other donations improvements were made to the hall. The past is being celebrated with guest speaker Dr. Sandra Campbell, author of ‘Both Hands: A Life of Lorne Pierce of Ryerson Press’. Dr. Campbell will talk about the life of Lorne Pierce and his family who were prominent members of the community and the Methodist/United Church in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Copies of the book will be for sale and signed by the author.

New outlook, strong faith has given Lombardy man new lease on life By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Community – Caleb Robson’s positive attitude has made all the difference in his journey over the past few years. So has his faith.

The 52-year-old Lombardy man recently received a new kidney from his younger sister, Jodi, and he’s been chosen as this year’s Kidney Foundation ambassador. “She’ll do anything to get under my skin,” Robson said

with a laugh. “That’s my little sister.” Despite some medical setbacks – which Robson calls “little bumps” in the road – he says he’s chosen to look at the brighter side of things. The once-active, 270-pound

man, who played hockey and many other sports, faithfully, but admitted his diet was a little too much on the fast-food side, dropped nearly 100 pounds on the road to a new kidney. Prior to his kidney operation, he had to go through a series of surgeries to remove various organs where tumors were growing. A tumor was found on his pancreas in 2009, so out came his spleen and part of his pancreas. In 2011, he was diagnosed with diabetes, forcing him to take a look at his life and get into a healthy eating/ exercise routine. In short order, he’d dropped a significant amount of weight, all the while still ingesting medicinal cocktails to manage his creatinine level. “I look at all the labels now,” he said of his food. “It’s something I can’t take lightly.” But his kidneys were still failing, and even more so by the beginning of 2012 when he had to start dialysis. Working an early shift at his job at Kia, Smiths Falls, where he is the parts manager, Robson was able to drive himself to Kingston for dialysis which took about six hours: four hours on dialysis and two hours of driving time. “It made for really long days,” he said. Then he was transferred to

the Perth and District Smiths Falls Hospital’s dialysis unit, where he met his new team of nurses and fellow patients, who became his friends and extended family. “I can’t say enough about Debbie Hamilton (head dialysis nurse) and the girls – Darlene, Debbie, Shelley and Shelley, and Cindy… they’re all just amazing and very knowledgeable about diet and how to control fluid intake. Any questions I had, they were great to answer.” Early this year, Robson had part of his stomach and colon removed because doctors found another tumour. He was diagnosed with cancer, a prognosis he lived with for about three months. “It gets better,” he said, still smiling, as he related his story. “I was supposed to get my kidney – my sister was tested and she was the first one too, and everything was good to go. Then the doctors told me I had cancer. So I had to wait to see how I going to go through treatment for that.” That was in May this year… in June, he was told the growth that was removed from his stomach – along with part of his stomach, colon and now, gallbladder due to gallstone attacks he was suffering – was benign.

“We thought I had cancer,” he said. “But it turned out it wasn’t, so the kidney surgery could go ahead.” The transplant happened in an Ottawa hospital on June 27. His sister was in hospital for five days, Robson for six days. But all is not yet rosy, in fact, Robson, despite his jovial outlook on life, has to be cautious of disease due to his compromised immune system. “I have a surgical mask I need to wear in public so I don’t get sick,” he said. “I carry Purel (hand sanitizer) with me, but what else can I do but stay positive?” Not only has he been under medical stress, but there has been stress at home too. “We’ve had some financial difficulty, and had to put our house up for sale,” he said. It’s a home that he built for his family of five: his wife, Susan; daughter Ashley, and sons Jacob and Connor. “My wife is not too happy that we have to sell,” he said. “But that’s not the important thing. A house is just a house… home is where we make it.” Kidney foundation On Sunday, Sept. 29, the Perth community will be hosting the fourth annual kidney See KIDNEY page 4 R0012311575_0926

New United Counties housing and homelessness plan approved ognized for service Warden Ron Holman and council congratulated Township of Athens mayor Herb Scott Sept. 19 for receiving a long-service award at the Eastern Ontario Municipal Conference in Kingston last week. Scott was recognized for his 25-plus years of service to his community. Scott has served in municipal politics since 1982 when he was first elected as councillor for the Township of Rear of Yonge and Escott. Sitting council members encouraged him to run. He was elected reeve of Rear of Yonge and Escott in 1992. In 2001, following the amalgamation of municipalities, Scott became mayor of the Township of Athens. He would later serve as a councillor for the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley before being re-elected as mayor in Athens in 2010. “I still enjoy the job,� Scott said, adding his interest is having the township and Counties running smoothly. Scott attended the counties council meeting despite experiencing a large barn fire at his Athens family farm overnight. The barn was destroyed along with thousands of bales of hay and straw. Fortunately the family’s Holstein herd was not in the structure at the time. The Scott family has been farming in the Athens area Athens mayor Herb Scott rec- since 1950.

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council Meeting held Sept. 19 and the Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville on Sept. 18. The Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville has approved a housing and homelessness plan which will now be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) for review. The Housing Services Act of 2011 requires a 10-year plan. Deborah Gill, Leeds and Grenville’s manager of housing, and a working group spend the last 18 months developing a plan for Leeds and Grenville. The group worked in consultation with the Housing Services Corporation, the Ontario Municipal Social Services Association, and the Ministry. Three main goals have been identified. They include maintaining the current affordable services and housing, enhancing services to reflect the changing needs of the community and, thirdly, involving all stakeholders in the development and implementation of the housing plan. The ministry’s review process takes 90 days. Leeds Grenville staff will then review recommendations from the ministry early in 2014.

Miller Manor and The Maples water quality Operational and financial plans for Miller Manor in Mallorytown and The Maples in Spencerville were approved by the joint services committee on Sept. 18. The operational plan for each site describes the activities, personnel, policy and procedure, and responsibilities associated with operating and managing the well water system. Except for system-specific diagrams for each site, the plans and supporting procedures are the same. Under the Quality Management System there are required internal and externals audits, a risk assessment of the waterworks, an emergency testing exercise, and infrastructure and management reviews. A financial plan mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act has also been completed. Both plans will be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Monitoring and compliance activities are already in place and are funded through the Community and Social Services budget. Miller Manor and The Maples are the only two properties within the Leeds Grenville public housing portfolio which have drinking water systems falling under the Drinking Water Quality Management Standard and developed by the Ministry of the Environment and Ontario’s water sector.

walk, starting from Crystal Palace, with registration at 9:45 a.m. In the past three years, this event has raised $28,000, said Bruce Hill, senior development manager with the Kidney Foundation of Canada, who looks after this area from his Ottawa office. Money raised from this event goes into the national research fund, but locally, there are many programs and initiatives that are taking place, like a fun day, hosted in the spring at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club where 85 people were in attendance. “If we can bring a smile to someone’s face, then it was worth it,� Hill said. “Hosting

events where dialysis dependent people can have a little fun, dance, socialize, that’s a big thing.� He also added that education is one of the top priorities, which includes alking to people about their personal history, family history, diets (which if kidney disease is prevalent, then a low sodium/salt/potassium diet is followed) and exercise. “Stats are pretty significant. One in 10 people have kidney disease and may not even know it.� For instance, in Smiths Falls with a population of about 9,000 people, 900 of whom could have kidney disease. In Perth, where there are about 6,000 people living, another

600 people may have kidney disease. That’s 1,500 people just in Perth and Smiths Falls alone. “There are five stages of kidney disease and the first four are silent,� Hill said. “You don’t know you have it until, bang, you’re on dialysis and your life has changed forever.� The easiest way to see is through a blood test. “The next time you’re at your doctor, ask him to check your kidney function. It’s a simple blood test,� Hill said, whose own father succumbed to kidney disease. People with diabetes are more susceptible to kidney disease, and people who have had a transplant are more susceptible to cancer, he said.

Take Back the Night march continues plight to end violence against women Community – Bridge Street in Carleton Place was an uplifting scene on the evening of Sept. 19 when dozens of local residents and politicians came together to put a stop to violence against women. The occasion was Lanark County Interval House’s (LCIH) seventh annual Take Back the Night march, which began in the park behind the Carleton Place Town Hall with a special ceremony to empower women who are victims of harassment, sexual abuse and assault. LCIH provides residential and shelter programs as well as outreach services and transitional support to women and children throughout Lanark County who are the victims of violence. Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc welcomed those gathered and remarked how she wished this event wasn’t needed in the community. “We’re here to take back the night and I wish that wasn’t the case. I wish that there wasn’t any (of these events) and we didn’t have to take back the night,� she stated. She noted that Carleton Place is a safe community with strong police and protective services “yet why is it that women, and maybe men as well, feel uncomfortable walking the streets at night?� “As the mayor, I should feel safe and somehow it’s engrained in me to walk quickly or look over my shoulder,� LeBlanc continued, adding that getting the message out that this is a safe community is about events such as Take Back the Night. Other local politicians on hand during the evening were Carleton Place councillors Doug Black and Jerry Flynn, Beckwith deputy reeve Sharon Mousseau, Beckwith councillor Brian Dowdall, as well as Montague Township reeve and Lanark County warden, Bill Dobson. “Victimization against women must stop. It is a public health problem and a human rights issue, he said, urging people to step up and do their part to end the violence. “...If you see an incident, report it and make sure these incidents

are documented. We must change our environment to make our society equal for all genders.� Dobson said every member of the community has an obligation to “do our part to slow this process down and try to stop it.� He also commended LCIH for the work they continue to do. “This is an emergency like any other emergency service and I appreciate the hard work that Interval House does,� Dobson stated. Victim’s words Providing a poignant moment prior to the start of the march, Tracy Kwissa, spoke to the audience about the experience of her daughter, Emily, who was unable to attend the event as she is away at college. Emily was sexually abused by her stepfather at a young age and has written a memoir, Am I Not. “...She’s (Emily) still very young at only 20-years-old but has lived and her story is not for the faint of heart,� Tracy said. “Her stepfather began abusing her at three and before she was six-yearsold he raped her.� On July 20, 2004, what Tracy calls her “Independence Day,� she and her family packed up a few belongings and three dogs and left Colorado and her exhusband. She said the legal battle didn’t end there and continues today. It has cost her thousands of dollars and “left us financially and emotionally bankrupt.� The latest setback came recently when www.lulu.com, which had published I Am Not online, took it down after Tracy’s ex-husband claimed the book was full of lies. “Lulu gave up supporting other’s free speech and sided with an abuser,� she commented. “They’ve given power to the abuser over the victim.� “It’s a shame and another example of injustice in our community,� noted LCIH executive director Erin Lee-Todd. Tracy said this issue generated a lot of media and since then, I Am Not is back in print. She acknowledged the support of LCIH over the last 10 years since moving to the area. “...Without them (LCIH), the battle to be free of our abuser would not have

been a victory,” she said. Tracy then read a statement provided by Emily, who said the cycle of sexual abuse needs to end. “We’re taught not to wear short skirts, low-cut shirts, tight jeans and not to wear our hair in ponytails because people can grab it and also not to wear it down because it can be seen as sexual,” Emily wrote. “...We’re told all of this when most sexual assaults aren’t committed by strangers...The night does not belong to us, we are strangers in the night. We need to take back our bodies and our place in it.” “Children should be able to go to bed without fearing the monster that lies, not in the closet, but outside their bedroom doors,” Emily continued. “Tonight, we do together what we’re too afraid to do alone...we are taking back the streets we have always been told were dangerous.” Lee-Todd thanked people for attending the event, despite the fact that each year she hopes LCIH doesn’t have to hold the march. She said the organization will continue its work to speak up for victims such as 27-year-old Amy Paul, who was found dead in an Osgoode field last week. “She was a sex worker. There was no press release about her missing...,” she

stated. “...We’re human beings first and Amy Paul deserves respect the same as everyone else, whether she was a sex worker or not.” The same week Paul’s body was found, the Fallowfield train/bus tragedy also occurred and while Lee-Todd acknowledged the loss from that incident, “in a week from now, will we still be hearing about the bus accident, which was horrible and horrific? But do you think we’ll hear about Amy Paul? Think about that and what you’re going to do to make a difference.” As Lee-Todd conducted a vigil and read names of women who lost their lives to due to violence, members of the crowd placed a rose in the Mississippi River to honour them. A rose was also cast into the water for Paul. “Today that woman was Amy but tomorrow it could be me. Tomorrow it could be any of you,” she said. “It’s important to remember and reflect. It’s important to honour these women as we walk the street.” The LCIH shelter remains full with a large waiting list, but Lee-Todd said that keeps her striving towards ending violence against women. She acknowledged the valuable partnerships LCIH has with the Ontario Provincial Police, local municipalities, as well as LGBT Lanark County, the HIV/AIDS Regional

Service and the Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence advisory, which have strengthened the organization. “I want to assure you that despite what’s happening in this horrible world that tries to divide us, LCIH is standing strong...we’re going to be solid and we’re going to move on,” she continued. “There is nothing that’s going to stop us in this community from ending violence against women. We will not be silent. We will continue to take these risks for the flowers floating in the water and for those women I see tonight who I haven’t seen in ages and it’s so good to see.” In the end, Lee-Todd issued a challenge to the community. If someone sees an incident taking place, report it and stand up to violence. “Challenge yourself and your neighbours, because if you don’t challenge someone, we’ll keep putting flowers in the water,” she concluded. Armed with special Take Back the Night cowbells, courtesy of gift bags provided by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Occasional Local, residents then took to the streets in a united chant.

Eight weeks remaining in annual Canadian Aid for Chernobyl Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign News – The countdown is on‌ there’s only eight weeks remaining in the Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Kingston areas. Currently, 250 boxes are packed and ready to go. Campaign coordinator, Colleen Gray, is anticipating another 300 to 500 boxes will arrive at the drop off locations over the next two months. Gray stated that “typically we see a huge influx of filled boxes as well as bags of items arriving in the last two months of the campaign.â€? The Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign is in its 11th year of service to seniors living in Chernobyl. The program, which operates under Canadian Aid for Chernobyl, provides basic hygiene items, small house-

hold items and a large dose of kindness to the neediest individuals. The seniors receiving these care packages live very lonely and isolated lives in a state of poverty. The shoeboxes are hand-delivered to seniors on occasions such as birthdays, Seniors’ Day, Invalid’s Day, Veteran’s Day and special anniversaries. They not only provide basic care items but bring home and joy into their lives. Participants may fill a shoebox or drop off essential hygiene items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand and body cream, deodorant, combs, brushes, hand soap, shampoo, razors, etc.), at any of the locations. Individuals are encouraged to fill just one box and together the goal can be reached.

Shoeboxes will be shipped to Chernobyl for distribution in early spring 2014. Drop off locations are: LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark’s office (Brockville); Community Home Support Lanark County (Smiths Falls and Perth); Kemptville and District Home Support Inc. (Kemptville); and any Community & Primary Health Care (CPHC) office. Tax receipts will be issued for those who include their name, address and the original receipt(s). Campaign completion date is Oct. 31, however donations of filled boxes, miscellaneous items and cash donations are also accepted throughout the year.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Conservative energy plan doesn’t make sense DEAR EDITOR: In his article on energy policy in the EMC Sept. 19, the Conservative MPP from Leeds- Grenville tells us to see the Tories affordable energy plan in their website. The so-called plan is not only not affordable, it does not make sense. First of all, everybody knows that the cheapest and fastest way to produce energy is through conservation and there is not one word about conservation in their program. Secondly, the Tories state that nuclear will be the key future source of Ontario’s basic energy supply. However, they want people to have a choice in their electricity

suppliers so we will all check off who our supplier will be when we receive our electricity bill. No nuclear company would spend billions of dollars building nuclear plants when it knows that nuclear power will be more expensive than renewable energy and there would be no customers for its power. This would mean that, under a Tory government, there would be electricity shortages and we would be at the mercy of other jurisdictions when we would have to purchase power from them.

COMMENTARY Find the stars in your community Editorials – On a regular basis, this newspaper profiles the positive contributions youth are making in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area and it’s time for those actions to be showcased on a broader scale. It’s time once again to consider nominating a deserving youth for the 2013 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award, offered annually by the Ontario Community Newspaper Association (OCNA), of which this newspaper is a member, and sponsored by Direct Energy and TD Bank Group. One doesn’t have to look far to see youth impacting their communities in inspiring ways. Take a look on the sports field, students helping out others in school or at church. Any resident of Ontario, aged six to 17 (who is six but no older than 17 by Nov. 30, 2013) can be nominated in four different categories, including: those involved in a worthwhile service; a young person who contributes to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation; kids who go above and beyond to make life better for others over and above what would normally be expected of them; and an individual who has done a heroic act over the past year. According to the OCNA, up to 12 nominees will be chosen with the final recipients of the provincial award to appear at a gala in spring 2014. Help us pay tribute to the youth who will shape our communities into the future. Youth nominated for the honour will be personally presented with a certificate of recognitions and their contributions will be showcased in this newspaper. The deadline for nominations is Nov. 30. Forms are available online at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or by calling the OCNA at 905-639-8720 ext. 221.

Scratch proved her worth as a house cat on the farm Lifestyle – As far as Mother was concerned, there were no “ifs, ands, or buts” about it when it came to having pets in the house. They belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it. The barn cats had litters, it seemed to me back then, every time the weather changed. And every time a new batch of kittens came on the scene, I begged Mother to let me keep at least one in the house for a pet. I promised I would look after it. It would never wander through the rooms, and I would feed it myself, so there would be no spots on the kitchen floor, which Mother kept as clean as a whistle. “No cats in the house” she would say again! And so I would have to play with them in the barns, where they were allowed to wander freely, some in the cow byre, some in the stable, and often one or two in where Father kept the sheep. I would make sure they all had fresh milk every day, and of course, I gave

them all names. My brother Emerson said giving barn cats names was just about the craziest idea he ever heard of...especially when there were so many. I paid him no heed! They came in all colours, but mostly they were grey or black with white spots. And then one batch produced one that was golden brown with white around its neck, and a pure white tail. Emerson said it looked like its mother had been scared by a fox, whatever that meant. To me, it was the most beautiful kitten I had ever seen. But it didn’t look like its mother had much love for it. To me it always seemed to be pushed aside, and away from the other kittens. And it got thinner and thinner. Emerson said it wasn’t long for this world, and the best thing that could happen to it was to put it in a grain sack and take to the Bonnechere! Needless to say that sent me into fits of crying and I begged Mother to let me keep it in the house until it had grown a bit.

knit an extra dishcloth without being asked, a task I likened to cleaning the outhouse! Finally, Mother relented. It would have to be kept in a box at night. I would have to take it outside to “do its business”, and it would only be in the house until it was able to fend for itself out in the barn. I was so happy, and that night I printed in my diary that for the first time ever, I was allowed to have a baby kitten in the house! I called it Scratch...because it loved to scratch on the side of the cardboard box which was its home through the night. And it grew and flourished. How Scratch grew! And every day Mother would warn me

that soon it would have to join the other cats in the barn. The litter was born early in the fall, and as the nights got colder, I was eternally grateful that Scratch was in a warm spot to sleep. Just before I went to bed every night I took Scratch outside and then put her into the cardboard box. She was growing so fast with my tender love and care that soon she would outgrow her night bed. And then one morning, even before I was out of bed, I heard Mother let a scream out of her that I was sure could be heard across the 20acre field. I tore downstairs, not knowing what to expect. And there was Scratch, sound asleep outside the box, and beside her, half mutilated, were two very dead mice! Now, if there was anything Mother hated more than the common house fly or pet animals in the house, it was a mouse! She was sure they carried germs. It wasn’t so much that she was afraid of them; it was just that she thought they

were just about the dirtiest critters on earth! And there was little hope of keeping them out of the house, in spite of the countless traps spaced around the floor. Well, it was obvious how the mice had come to meet their maker. Scratch had done them in, that was obvious. And that’s what changed Mother’s mind about having a pet in the house! Scratch, as long as she was ‘earning her keep’ was allowed to spend the nights in the cardboard box in the kitchen. She spent most of the winter there, that year. But the day came when Scratch herself wanted to be out in the barns. She had grown full size, and remained the only cat with the odd colouring, and she sneaked around unheard and ignored the other cats completely. And when I saw that she much preferred the hen house over the cow byre, I wondered if there was more truth than poetry to what Emerson claimed...maybe there was a bit of fox-blood running through her veins. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Temple’s Sugar Bush hosts hypnotist show and dance Oct. 25

Among the advantages of quads are their cargo-towing capacity and the fact that they tend to be lighter weight and more agile than UTVs, which translates into less of an impact on lawns and other terrain. ATVs are also generally less expensive than UTVs. Their limitations however, lie in the fact that most are intended for one driver, though two-person models are available, and that they provide limited space for carrying cargo.

If you’re looking for a vehicle for a specific task, UTVs are a good choice because of the large number of implements and attachments available.

Community bands together for teen left paralyzed following car accident Community – A recent accident involving a young man who resides in the community of Seeley’s Bay has impacted many and reminds us how quickly life can throw us a curve ball and the importance of banding together and helping those in need. Zach Elliott had just turned 18 and was graduating from Rideau District High School with a dream of becoming a commercial pilot, and on June 13, he was involved in a tragic car accident and has been left paralyzed from the waist down. There will be a community event on Oct. 12 where a dance, complete with a live and silent auction will take place to help raise funds needed to help Elliott and his family on his road to recovery. Elliott is well known in the area. To many he may only be known as the extremely tall, polite, young lad with a big smile who has worked behind the meat counter at the local store for the last three years. However there is so much more to Elliott. He was an honor student at Rideau District High School in Elgin, he had a love for music early on and played the drums and guitar in a band with several other local young lads from high school. His

Zach Elliott love for music was carried on when he joined the Shiloh Church and started playing at services. But for those of us that know him best it was his sense of family, and his love of flying that he learned from his grandfather. Before getting his driver’s license at age 16, Elliott had already accomplished something that many of us would never be able to do; he clocked enough flying hours and got his recreational pilot’s license. Then in April, 2013, while still 17-years-old, he obtained his private pilot’s license. Prior to the accident he had just started working at the Kingston Airport as the line crew and he had done some aerial photography for the Kingston Fun Flyers.

Elliott is a determined young man and an inspiration for many, his faith keeps him strong and he hopes if possible to be the first paraplegic commercial pilot in Canada. The community of Seeley’s Bay wants to stand behind this young man and help reach his goal. Currently Elliott is in Saint Mary’s of the Lake rehabilitation hospital in Kingston and will be faced with months of hard work before being able to come home and regain his life. He and his family will require assistance with this and our goal as a community is to help offset any additional costs the Elliotts will have. Organizers of the event are asking local businesses, and community members for your support to help make this event a success, donations of new auction able items/services or cash will help make this happen. Donations for this event can be given to any member of the organizing committee and should be made by Oct. 5. For more information or to make a donation email Jan Holland at holland@bell. net or call 613-387-3750 or Nicole Peters at petersn@ outlook.com or call 613-9290042. Submitted by the organizing committee.

Canadian Cancer Society introduces $100 cost for transportation service News – To meet the challenge of growing demand and rising costs, the Canadian Cancer Society will begin charging a $100 registration fee for new patients in Ontario who register with the Society’s transportation service after Oct. 1. Since the 1950s, the Society has provided transportation to patients in Ontario who have no other way of getting to cancer treatment. The one-time registration fee will apply to new patients only and will help ensure the Society is able to continue helping patients with rides. The decision was made based on the changing landscape of cancer. Ontario’s population is growing and aging, which means that the number of new cancer cases continues to rise and with it, the number of patients needing help to get to treatment. The price of gas and other costs have risen significantly over the years while the need for transportation grows. “The Canadian Cancer Society is committed to providing transportation but the service is expensive — we spend more than $6 million a year on the program and we’ve seen almost a 20 per cent increase in the number of patients needing rides in one year alone,” says

Tanya Nixon, Senior Manager, Transportation, Canadian Cancer Society. “This was a difficult but necessary decision to ensure the future of our transportation service so that we can continue to help cancer patients get to treatment.” “More people than ever need our transportation service,” says Nixon. “In addition, we are challenged by an environment in which resources have become scarce both in terms of fundraising and volunteer recruitment. Like all charities, we must make our dollars go further.” John Buchan of Penetanguishene is a volunteer driver who has been driving patients from all over Simcoe County to and from appointments in Toronto, Barrie, Orillia and elsewhere for 10 years. “Cancer patients and their families are already dealing with a lot of stress without worrying how they’re going to get to and from their treatments. As a driver, I know how vital this program is for helping patients who have no other way to get to appointments,” says Buchan, who is also a member of the Society’s provincial Transportation Steering Committee. “I support this registration fee because it means we’ll be able

to continue helping cancer patients with rides now and in the future.” The transportation service is offered province-wide and meets the needs of all kinds of patients who have any type of cancer and a range of treatment needs of varying duration. Some patients have no access to public transit and no other means of getting to treatment and many find the cost of alternative transportation, such as taxis, and parking prohibitive. Typically, a registered patient uses the Society’s transportation service 10 to 17 times on one-way trips during the course of their treatment. New patients who may face financial hardship may be eligible for assistance through our compassionate program. The Society is committed to ensuring that no patient is denied a ride due to their inability to pay the entire registration fee. Last year volunteer drivers helped 15,500 patients in Ontario and drove more than 12 million kilometres, a distance that is equivalent to driving around the world almost 300 times. For more information about the change to the transportation program, visit Frequently Asked Questions on cancer.ca.

Tips to effectively close up cottage for the season Housing starts for August up slightly over last year Lifestyle – When it comes to closing up the cottage, every cottage owner has their own checklist and methods but it’s useful to review some best practises and perhaps add a few additional tasks to your to-do list to make sure that next spring, there aren’t any unwelcome surprises. In Canada, the top causes of cottage damage are wind and water. Fortunately, the risk of damage can be reduced by taking a few simple steps at the end of the season. “There are a few main areas to focus on when closing up the cottage before an Ontario winter hits,” says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “By tailoring your to-do list to take care of the most important areas first, you will be well on your way to ensuring a smooth winter and an easier time, come spring,” adds Dorner. Here are the most important tasks to take care of at the cottage this fall: • Drain the pipes: Make sure all water is removed by opening all taps

and valves. If your cottage is not winterized, the Canada Safety Council recommends filling supply pipes with non-toxic anti-freeze and wrapping pipes at key junction points to help protect against the cold. • Inspect your roof: A leaky roof can cause a lot of water-damage. Replace any missing or broken shingles. Make sure trees are trimmed so that wind and snow do not cause them to damage your cottage. • Electricity: If shutting the electricity off completely, Hydro One recommends turning off all appliances, the water heater and electrical room heaters before turning off the main switch at the electrical panel. If leaving your electricity on (for a security system or lighting) turn off the power supply to your major appliances at your main panel and shut off the power to any space heaters. • Fireplace and woodstove: Make sure your fireplace damper is closed to prevent animals from getting in. Block off the flues, stovepipes and chimneys. Chimneys from fireplaces

or woodstoves should be professionally checked to ensure they don’t have hazardous amounts of creosote. • Empty refrigerator and cupboards: Clean and defrost the fridge, leaving the door open to keep it fresh. Pack up the cupboards, including dry food and canned goods. • Walk through: Make sure that all utilities and appliances are unplugged and any potential fire hazards are removed (old newspapers, chemicals, etc.)

“Once you’ve taken care of the most important tasks, you will be able to turn your attention to the remaining cleaning and packing up, and of course the final goodbye,” says Dorner. If possible, have a neighbour or friend check up on your place periodically throughout the winter, this will provide some additional peace of mind. Submitted by the Ontario Real Estate Association.

Lifestyle – Housing starts in the Ontario region were trending at 59,187 units in August, compared to 58,292 in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates of housing starts. “The trend in Ontario new home construction edged higher for a second consecutive month in Ontario – stabilizing in the 55,000 to 60,000 SAAR starts range in recent months. Stability in resale market conditions very early this year combined with a gradual improvement in the job market has halted the slide in residential starts witnessed between the spring of last year and spring of 2013,” said Ted Tsiakopoulos, CMHC’s Ontario regional economist. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some sit-

uations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 67,767 units in August, up from 59,372 units in July. Row and backlog of apartment units breaking ground boosted activity while single and semi detached construction eased in August. Growth in construction was broad based with communities in and outside of the greater Toronto area posting increases. For the year ending August, Ontario urban starts are down 26 per cent from this time last year. As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions.

was seven and his father later married Ruth Crawford Seeger, a now recognized, notable modernist composer and also a lover of folk music. Music was a staple in the Seeger home as Pete’s four stepsiblings from his father’s second marriage all went on to also become folk musicians including Peggy, who was married for many years to British folk singer/activist Ewan MacColl (writer of ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’). Pete’s stepbrother Mike Seeger went on to form the New Lost City Ramblers. From these early musical beginnings Pete first learned the ukelele by himself and began entertaining community and his classmates with popular songs of the day and traditional folk tunes. In 1936, Pete, while travelling with his father and stepmother chanced on the Mountain Dance & Folk Festival outside Asheville, North Carolina where he heard the five-string banjo for the first time and the family later acknowledged this time as their “conversion experience” to folk styles of music. It was here Seeger apparently first picked up his early beginnings of learning the five-string banjo from festival organizer Bascom Lunsford and, in the fall, taking one with him when he headed off to Harvard on a scholarship. That banjo would become often his instrument of choice later, wherever he played; so often for little money, at rallies, community meetings, across the country for one of his many admirable causes. By 1948, he’d developed his own banjo that had an extra long neck, longer than a bass guitar by three frets which would become known as the Seeger banjo. It wasn’t until the late ‘50s that he started accompanying himself with the 12-string guitar. Pete’s skilled himself in the conscientious use of music to empower, encourage, enlighten and remind us of our past. We must remember he became quite involved in folk music at a time when folk music found a voice within politics, especially around the ideology – exploring university campuses. Pete gradually became active, joining the Young Communist League prior to the Second World War. His marks suffering, he lost his scholarship, dropping out in 1938. He’d developed a real knack for performing with that ukelele which he further polished via a summer job touring New York State with the Vagabond Puppeteers. Through the summer’s travel, shared meals and ongoing discussions with the rural families they’d play for, Pete’s commitment to activism was further nurtured, recognizing and learning to exploit his gifts of utilizing music in creative ways to promote solidarity as a mighty power for the common man, whether through unions, ra-

cial equality marches, parades or anti-war activities; organizing to bring about equality. Through his father’s contact he got a job in Washington, DC with Alan Lomax who was assistant in charge of the Archive of American Folk Song for the Library of Congress. Lomax had previously travelled with his father John Lomax, taking some primitive recording equipment into the fields and across the country to record what were then called “race” and “hillbilly” types of music for archive purposes. Now known as the ‘Field Recordings’ they brought musicians like Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, and Jelly Roll Morton to the American public, many becoming great blues, jazz and folk players of their country. Alan had a radio show ‘Back Where I Come From’ and encouraged Pete to perform, joining musicians like Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Burl Ives and Josh White in the then unique, racially integrated cast. This was during the Second World War. Their show once performed a command performance at the White House in 1941, arranged by Eleanor Roosevelt, entitled ‘An Evening of Songs for American Soldiers’. Hard to believe today but, due to the integrated cast it was not aired nationally. Pete’s activism further evolved into The Almanac Singers, which Seeger co-founded in 1941 with Millard Lampell and Arkansas singer and activist Lee Hays. They were a topical group, designed to function as a singing newspaper, promoting the industrial unionization movement, racial and religious inclusion as well as other progressive causes. Its personnel included, at various times: Woody Guthrie, Bess Lomax Hawes, Sis Cunningham, Josh White and Sam Gary. As a controversial Almanac singer, the 21-year-old Seeger performed under the stage name Pete Bowers to avoid compromising his father’s government career. Due to their political leanings, the Almanac Singers were eventually blacklisted and through fear of retribution, presenters refused to hire them. Pete took to the rails for a while with Woody Guthrie, learning firsthand the plight of the migrant workers in California and the south where he lent his musical support wherever possible and has continued to do so, ever since. Pete was in the US Army first as an aircraft mechanic and later as performer for the troops. In 1950 the Almanac Singers were reformed as The Weavers and had a string of hits on the popular hit parade such as ‘On Top of Old Smokey’ – a Lead Belly song, ‘Goodnight Irene’, which was 13 weeks at number one, ‘So Long, Been Good to Know You’ (Woody Guthrie), ‘Kisses Sweeter Than

Wine’ and ‘Wimoweh’, to name a few. They were playing the best halls and clubs until 1953 when they were blacklisted, due to the infamous MacCarthy era. A reunion was chanced in 1955 to what turned out to be a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall and a tour where concerts were recorded and large sales realized. Pete says he broke company with The Weavers because the rest were willing to sign with a tobacco sponsor and out of principle, Pete refused. I could go on for days with various stories about this remarkable man. He built his family’s own log home in the woods of upper New York State and for quite a long time had no hydro, running water or phone...an early hippy. He reemerged in the ‘60s as a protest singer, utilizing his songs such as ‘Where Have All the Flowers Gone’ or ‘If I Had a Hammer’, these songs copied and made famous by many other musicians. He was seen in the movie of 2007 still cutting and splitting his own firewood. He acknowledges it was only his wife’s ongoing support that allowed him to carry on. His activism has not stopped. He was a long time supporter and promoter of the now successful clean up of the Hudson River called the Clearwater Project. Through a long range vision of utilizing a large sailing ship that would sail up and down the Hudson, teach students, fundraise, they connected enough caring people to make enough noise to cause congress to pass laws, all for the importance of clean water. In the film, he explains his changing the word ‘will’ from the original spiritual to the more sing-able ‘shall’ in one of his most heard songs, ‘We Shall Overcome’. The power of song carries on and at 94, Pete’s still getting his message out there. In October 2011, he helped with an Occupy Wall Street march. This Grammy Award winner just keeps going.

Lifestyle – I just got back from visiting my folks, just outside Orillia. They’re 88 years young now and still able to help one another live in their own home so I try to get over to spend a few days with them each month to hopefully brighten their day, take them where they need to go and share those family stories you never quite got around to before. We are blessed to have my sister Jan and family living close to them to provide lots of support. This article was hatched there as my Dad usually has some favourite music on and one day it was a wonderful CD my brother Drew had compiled for them of Pete Seeger music. It reminded me of the many stories I’d read of Seeger over the years and the tremendous respect I’d developed for this principled, ‘Renaissance’ man – musician, songwriter, activist, now 94, widowed this summer, losing Toshi after 70 years of marriage. Again, thanks to our family musicologist, my brother Drew, my folks and I pulled out and watched a wonderful DVD called ‘Pete Seeger – The Power of Song’ (2007) which Drew had given copies to both them and myself last Christmas. It was my second time through it and I’ll continue to pull it out and watch every once in a while because of the clips of him at so many monumental events in time leading a crowd to sing. Woody Guthrie’s son, Arlo Guthrie quips somewhere, how gifted Pete is in the way he can lead an audience to sing along with him. I cannot recommend it enough and thought I’d share a bit about this remarkable man. Pete Seeger personifies of the power of song. Pete Seeger was born May 3, 1919 in New York into a musical family. His father was a Harvard grad, a musicologist who, in 1912, developed the first music program at University of California, in Berkeley and his mother was a concert violinist who later taught at Juilliard. When Pete was 18-months-old his parents and two older brothers headed out in a homemade trailer caravan type vehicle to “bring musical uplift to the working people in the American South”. Their pretentious intention was to present classical music throughout the south but within a short time on the road his father was introduced to and became enthralled with the local Americana music played in the hills on banjos, guitars, fiddles and jugs, a far cry from their classical roots. The elder Seeger later went on to work to help shape the Archives of Folk Music in Washington DC. It’s hard to believe, in our current time of political apathy there was a time when people gathered, discussed, argued, debated and marched for the issues of the day. We take for granted what principles of equal opportunity, racial equality, peace and freedoms were fought for within his (and my) lifetime. Hard to believe today that Pete’s father would be forced to leave his employ at the University of California for being a Pacifist, during the First World War. We’ve come a long way...or have we? His parents divorced when he

Athletes’ pay continues to soar into the stratosphere alleged use of performance enhancing drugs. He won’t be paid for the period of his suspension, should it be upheld by an independent arbitrator. The appeal hearing is scheduled to begin Sept. 30. Yes, money and top-flight athletes go hand in hand and that is a major topic of discussion among people today, just as it was when Ruth was busily re-writing the MLB batting record book in the 1920s and ‘30s. For fans of team sports the main focus is the season, the playoff or pennant races and ultimately, hopefully, a championship for their favourite team or teams. I’m a Detroit Tigers’ fan. At this writing the ball club is on the verge of a third straight American League (AL) Central Division championship. I’m hopeful of another strong playoff showing. Tigers rolled to the AL Pennant in 2012 before bombing in the World Series, losing four straight to San Francisco Giants, the National League titlists. The National Hockey League (NHL) campaign is just around the corner – a full season too this time – and locally all eyes are on the Ottawa Senators. Fans are anxious to see how Sens will perform without long-time captain and talisman Daniel Alfredsson? Or at the very least Ottawa fans will be anticipating

the club’s first meeting with the Detroit Red Wings, Alfie’s new team. That comes up Oct. 23 in the Motor City. The clubs are now in the same division and will face-off four times during the campaign. Despite the fact fans like me enjoy following their team(s) day-to-day throughout the various seasons it is difficult for most of us to relate to what athletes today are being paid. Only a tiny fraction of people ever achieve such riches! Salaries incredible Being paid so handsomely to play a game doesn’t compute for most of us. But clearly it does when the various leagues and their member teams consider the bottom line, which is making money. Because I’m a Tigers’ fan I will focus on them as one good example of massive player salaries. In 2008 slugger Miguel Cabrera inked what was then the richest contract in team history,

an eight-year $153m pact. Certainly if anyone warrants that kind of money, Cabrera does. At age 30 he has quickly overtaken the biggest run producers in MLB history. Last year the Detroit third baseman won the “Triple Crown� which goes to a player who combines the highest batting average with the most home runs and the highest runs batted in total. His award was the first in 45 years. The previous Major Leaguer to achieve the rare honour was former Boston Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, Canada’s Centennial Year. Not surprisingly, with two years left in his current deal, Tigers’ brass has already begun talks with the Venezuelan-born Cabrera about a contract extension. Cabrera isn’t the highest paid player on the Detroit roster however. Far from it in fact! Power hitter Prince Fielder set

Baseball. Internet returns alone have boosted baseball earnings in North America to the highest mark in the history of the sport. On the global sports stage nothing can knock soccer – or football as it is called in most of the world – from the top rung. Soccer, which is often referred to as “the World Game�, is No. 1. But outside of a handful of teams led by Spain’s Real Madrid, Manchester United of the English Premier League (EPL) and Barcelona, also of the Spanish La Liga, most teams are struggling to keep their heads above water.

a new team record in January 2012 when he inked a nine-year, $214m deal. Fielder, son of former Toronto Blue Jays’ slugger Cecil Fielder, has played well although his home run production has tailed off. The distinction of the largest contract for a pitcher in MLB history belongs to current Tigers’ ace Justin Verlander. He agreed (who wouldn’t) to a seven-year, $180m contract prior to this season. Verlander, who won the prestigious Cy Young Award and the AL Most Valuable Player in 2011, has struggled somewhat this season however. Tigers’ management and fans feel he is so competitive that he may be over trying in an effort to live up to the hype. But despite being down in victories his overall pitching statistics remain among the best in the AL as this regular season wraps up. The long campaign ends Sunday with the playoffs starting the first week of October. I have not used the term “earned� to describe athletes’ pay.

Lifestyle – In 1930 baseball legend Babe Ruth was under public scrutiny due to his high salary. After making $70,000 each of the previous three seasons the New York Yankees’ sensation had his pay packet increased by another ten grand. The Great Depression was in full swing at the time and with jobs at a premium people were lining up daily to eat at soup kitchens. Terrible times, so little wonder the American public were envious of ‘The Bambino.’ In today’s terms his 1930 salary would be worth approximately $1.1 million. At the time it was considered “astonishing!� Ruth was never stuck for words and he had a quick response when a reporter asked how he could justify making $80,000 to play baseball when then US President Herbert Hoover was paid $75,000 annually. “I know, but I had a better year than Hoover,� he replied. Today another Yankees’ superstar Alex Rodriguez is taking home a cool $32 million (m) per season. That’s eight times the pay of current American President Barack Obama. Of course A-Rod’s pay cheque may only last as long as his current appeal of a 211 game suspension imposed recently by Major League Baseball (MLB) for his

Still, the highest earning soccer players don’t come close to the best paid athletes in North American sports, unless you include the endorsement deals for a select few such as former English star David Beckham and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo. The National Football League and National Basketball Association in the U.S. also pay massive money for their top stars. Of course the real beneficiary of the Bale to Madrid arrangement is Tottenham. Sure, they lose a player who won both top awards in the EPL last season. But fearing a Bale exit they signed seven new players in the off season for a combined £115m. The transfer money from Real Madrid basically covers their signing spree. Oh yes, the 100 highest earning athletes in the world (according to Forbes Magazine) include 27 MLB players. Rodriguez at $32 million leads the baseball world. But he’s No. 18 on the overall list. Of the top 10 sports

is the demand for “customization” in today’s society. People are used to a wide variety of choices in every aspect of their lives, posing challenges for both businessmen and educators struggling to meet the needs of clients and students. “You can now go into a coffee shop these days and (instead of a basic coffee) order that half decaf, tall and skinny latté,” she said. “People can also do iPod purchasing where you can buy just the one song you really want. Again you are expecting customization through technology.” The demand for customized solutions is reaching into the school system as well, she said. Parents are now expecting an almost “private-school” level of attention for their children within the public school system, something which cannot be done with available resources. She believes that this is a trend teachers should be aware of as they work to meet

earners, five are Americans. Soccer’s Beckham ($47m) qualifies for the list despite announcing his retirement this past spring. He ranks eighth. The top five are led by golfer Tiger Woods ($78m), followed by tennis star Roger Federer ($71.5m), NBA stars Kobe Bryant ($61.9m) and LeBron James ($59.8m) with New Orleans Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees ($51m) rounding out the select list. The top 100 play 11 different sports with baseball first (27). There are 21 NBA players on the chart, 13 NFLers and 12 soccer stars. A total of 23 countries are represented on the elite roll. Not surprisingly 63 Americans are among the top 100 sports wage earners. Clearly they won’t be holding a tag day for the recently embattled Mr. Woods based on these numbers. All things considered it still totally boggles the mind! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.

video games has changed the way people think and become engaged with issues, she said. “It’s not just about video games that people are playing,” she said. “People are using games for learning as well, and trying to make learning a little more interactive and fun.” “The larger trend is about the need to be amused. People have so much stimulation at their fingertips right now that it is adjusting our expectations and our attitudes about what will engage us,” Buckner added. Educators must adapt instructional approaches to meet this trend. While Buckner readily concedes she is not qualified to tell educators how to incorporate games into the classroom, she will play a video featuring an entrepreneur trying to build a business based on the use of games in the classroom.

around 75 mph. I took it in to a local Nissan dealer and they attributed the noise to the tires which had been replaced the year previous but did not make this noise when they were first installed. I had them rebalanced twice to no avail. When I returned to Ottawa, I had the front discs and brakes pads replaced because one disc was warped. This hasn’t cured the front end noise and it still persists and the dealer still blames the tires. I suspect the wheel bearings again as the noise is similar to the previous one. I’ve had other bearing failures on other SUVs and the noise is similar. I’ve also had a four-wheel alignment done with the same result, no change. Any insight would be appreciated.� Peter With regards to fuel mileage, the US’s EPA (the only mileage rating source to use until NRCan gets the Canadian specs in line in 2014) rates your FX35 at 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway (US gallon) so your mileage while lower than it was, is still up to snuff. According to Nissan/Infiniti’s schedules the spark plugs aren’t due for replacement until 168,000 km, but this is a very ambitious projection of how long the platinum tipped plugs will last. I’d recommend having the plugs removed for inspection and having them all replaced if they’re worn. Dirty air filters are the number one non-driver cause of poor fuel mileage. Also, don’t discount the possibility that the fuel you purchased might have changed in formulation between the first and subsequent road-trips. Gasoline producers are adding more and more ethanol (ethyl alcohol) to their fuels with the US feds pushing for more use of E15 blends (15 per cent ethanol) and this can cause a drop in fuel economy. An easy test to distinguish between tire noise and wheel bearing noise is to gently (and safely) swerve the vehicle left and right while driving at lower highway speeds when the noise is noticeable (no wide swings or sudden moves are required). If the noise changes noticeably when swerving to one side or the other, then it’s most likely a front wheel bearing at fault. If not, it could be caused by tires, a rear wheel bearing, or something else. To check the tires you could try having them rotated and then road test the

Lifestyle – “Good Morning, I am a big fan of your articles. I grew up with a father that flipped cars like dimes and my spouse’s hobby is old cars. We were sitting around having coffee the other day and my dad says to the spouse, “Do you think it’s bad for my car if I turn the engine off and then put my van in park?� (Of course he asks the “guy�!) Spouse says no problem, I say problem. So we now have a friendly gentleman’s bet going on and I decided to ask the expert! It would be very much appreciated if you could end this little tiff. If I’m wrong...I’ll take it like a man! Ha ha.� Judi About the only difference it would make if you turned off the engine before putting the shift lever into park would be that the power brake assist would be lost when the engine quit running. If you already had your foot on the brake, this wouldn’t matter unless you released the pedal before shifting to park. You should make sure you apply the park brake before releasing the main brake after putting the shifter into park. You’d be surprised to know that without the parking brake applied the entire rolling weight of your vehicle is held by a small short metal rod in the transmission about the diameter of a pencil. When these rods wear because of lack of use of the parking brake, they can develop a groove that makes it harder to get the transmission out of park. “Hi Brian: I enjoy reading your column every week. It provides a lot of insight. Here’s what I’ve had to live with for the past year or so. I have a 2007 Infiniti FX35 with 118,000 km. When I bought the car three years ago, I was getting approximately 23.9 mpg (US gal.) premium fuel on a 1,500 mile road trip to Florida. Last year it dropped to under 21 mpg. Now I am down to 19.5 mpg. I change the air filter and oil regularly. It doesn’t seem to matter what speed I drive at: 60 mph or 75 mph, sometimes higher in order to keep up with traffic, A/C on or not, nothing changes. Would new spark plugs help or anything else that you can suggest? Here’s my second issue. I took it in to the shop with a noise in the front end. For a bit of background, I’ve had all the wheel bearings replaced under warranty two years ago. Last year the car developed a grinding noise in the front end. I went to the dealer and they said all that was needed was a slight adjustment to the brakes which was done. On my drive to Florida last year a slight vibration developed and an irritating rubbing noise at

Friends of Augusta Street Park need your help to make a splash! Fund offers us a chance to put our fundraising efforts over the top,� says committee member, Linda Nilson. “Aviva’s criteria fits perfectly with our vision of recreating Augusta Street Park as a safe, accessible community place where neighbours of all ages and abilities can meet, play, and relax.� The Augusta Street Park Community Committee has submitted their idea for funding for the splash pad phase of their plan through the Aviva Community Fund and is happy to have the support of Aviva Broker, Oegema, Nicholson & Associates. The committee sees this park element as more than just a splash pad for children but also a memorial water fountain of sorts in honour of all the hard community work done 40 years ago by neighbours who helped to bring water services and Augusta Street Park to the neighbourhood. The contest consists of three qualifying rounds from

The Bard of Avon comes to Carleton Place this October Arts – Othello, Shakespeare’s classic tragedy of love, betrayal and murder comes to the Carleton Place Town Hall theatre this October. Fifteen young people from Carleton Place, Almonte, and Lanark County will be presenting the tale of the Moor of Venice in the way it was originally intended – in the round, surrounded by the audience. Othello has been an audience favourite continually since it was written four hundred years ago. Its story has universal appeal: Iago, a soldier in the army of Venice, is passed over for promotion, and in his jealousy, seeks revenge. Pretending friendship, he sows seeds of doubt within his military commander and former friend, the Moorish general Othello. He convinces Othello that his new bride, Desdemona, has been unfaithful – while at the same time, Iago slanders the man who was promoted over him, the suave and intelligent Cassio. In the end, Othello, driven mad with doubt, mistakenly seeks revenge upon the faithful and unsuspecting Desdemona, who loves him still. Many theatregoers in the area will remember this group of young actors from previous Shakespearean performances. With the Mississippi Mudds this group presented Macbeth in 2010, and Much Ado About Nothing in 2011. And most recently, this year with the Almonte Valley Players, they presented Hamlet. Audiences will remember Hayley Fortier’s master turn as Hamlet in this spring’s pro-

duction. In this production of Othello, she takes on the role of the scheming villain Iago. Newcomer Dayna Stone takes on the title role of Othello. Leah West, who portrayed the mad Ophelia in Hamlet, now challenges herself with the role of Desdemona. And Katie Irvine, who lately played the nefarious villain Claudius, returns as the dashing Cassio. Connor Lyon, whose most recent role in Shakespeare was as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, returns to help out as assistant director – and takes the small part of Brabantio, Desdemona’s father, as well. Director Mark Piper returns for his fourth outing, as well. “I’m having so much fun with this Shakespearean company, I don’t know if I’ll ever stop,� he says. “And it’s been a great learning experience for me as well. These actors, teenagers though they are, have taught me a lot about both Shakespeare and about acting. Some of them have developed their talents nearly to the professional level, and it’s a great privilege to work with them.� It’s a chance to see some very talented local teens bring life to the story of “the one who loved, not wisely but too well.� William Shakespeare’s Othello comes to Carleton Place Town Hall Oct. 20, 25, and 26.

News – Each year, Aviva Insurance gives away $1 million in Canada’s longest running online community funding competition, dedicated to funding the little things that will make a big difference in communities. The August Street Park Community Committee in Almonte has worked hard over the last two years to encourage renewed citizen interest in the park. Community engagement has helped to build community “ownership� of this neighbourhood park which in turn has resulted in in-kind donations, successful grant applications and a new sense of community for the park neighbours. Perhaps you attended one of the free music concerts we provided through “5 Wednesdays in July.� These events drew a wide range of citizens to the park, raised money for the park, but most dramatically helped make many “friends� for the park. “The Aviva Community

1933 Ford hot rod turns up in Niagara Falls 44 years later, with upgrades! Lifestyle – Russell Boles of Niagara Falls, Ontario, writes: “Hi Bill, I have been enjoying your ‘Old Car Detective’ column for several years. “Back in 1968, I purchased my first and only hot rod from a friend in rural Niagara. Charley Crowther built it – a 1933 Ford two-door coach with a flathead V8, lovely canary yellow paint job and a silver naugahyde interior stitched up by his mother! I drove it as my only car for about a year, with a constant smile on my face. However, I was getting married in the spring of 1970 and reluctantly sold the car in the fall of ’69 as I could not afford to keep it. I’ve kicked myself for over 40 years for letting it go. I sold it in Stoney Creek and it changed hands several times and I lost track of it. “A few years ago, I learned that my old ’33 had returned to Niagara, next door to where it was built so many years earlier. I finally traced the owner and in late June 2013 was able to see the car again after 44 years! It is now bright red and running a 327 Chevy with many fine upgrades. Enclosed are pictures of when I owned it and again this year.” The 1933 Fords and the almost identical ‘34s have long been a favourite with hot rodders and restorers alike. The ‘33s were the first Fords with a grille set back at an

angle as a big step toward streamlining. They are still a delight to look at today, 80 years later. And what does Russell Boles drive today? “I have just purchased from a collection in Arkansas a nicely restored 1941 Chevrolet pickup. So once again I’m having

fun cruising. This one won’t get away!” I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON

A transplant story: two families joined by one beating heart By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Community – One family’s tragedy was another’s saving grace four years ago. Today, a young heart beats strongly for a local child, but it’s not without worry and stress. Phoenix Borrowman, now four years of age, was the recipient of a heart transplant in 2009, and since then, she’s been on daily doses of anti-rejection medication which are highly toxic, said her mom, Robin. “Phoenix takes two anti-rejection meds every 12 hours. These meds are doing an excellent job at helping her body not reject her new heart, but they are very toxic,” said Robin. “They suppress her immune system. She can become very sick, very rapidly.” It’s because of these rigorous doses of anti-rejection medications that Phoenix is on a strict low-potassium diet to save her kidneys. It’s for this reason, the Borrowmans have to keep an eye on what their young daughter consumes. “She may be in need of a kidney transplant, but at this stage she’s doing well,” Robin said. The first two years of her life, young Phoenix battled lots of bouts of pneumonia – about eight times a year. But, her mom added, she bounced back quickly, despite the child’s compromised immune system. Robin says her daughter was born (so they believed) healthy in April, 2009. It was around seven weeks of age when the tot became, what her mother described as “fussier.” By June, she was “really fussy” and on June 9, she took her to the Perth emergency department because the baby was distressed. During a dose of Ventolin to treat what was suspected as asthma, Phoenix’s heart stopped, she went pale and limp in her

mother’s arms. “They used epinephrine to revive her and a helicopter took her to CHEO,” Robin recalled. At the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the family learned that Phoenix had dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle that causes the main artery to become enlarged, or dilated. “We weren’t sure if she would make it through the next 48 hours,” her mom said, “and if she did, she would need a heart transplant.” On June 22, 2009, Phoenix was taken to SickKids Hospital in Toronto and on July 8, was listed for a transplant. Phoenix underwent an operation on July 22 when her heart stopped for a full 10 minutes. That’s when she was provided with a Berlin heart to act as a bridge to her real-heart transplant. “On Aug. 14, she received the gift of life,” Robin said. “On Aug. 28 she left the hospital and has never looked back.”

All locations, names and ages were deleted, as per Ontario requirements. Robin was tenacious in her search for the donor’s family, when a Google search turned up the last name, Tuma, which was the name of the donor family. Unsure of what to do with the information, Robin saved the newspaper articles and other information about the family and stored it with the rest of her daughter’s things from her hospital life. Meanwhile, in Miami, Fla., Sylvia Tuma had just been to a

psychic show that featured famous psychic John Edward. Out of the more than 300 people in the audience, Edward chose Sylvia for a reading. “He spoke about my daughter’s passing and he acknowledged that I donated her heart,” she recounted the story in a phone interview with The Perth Courier this week. “He said the letter ‘P’ was prominent and that I was going to have a very strong relationship with the family that received Natalia’s heart.” That psychic reading was on June 4, 2011. In Canada, Robin was making progress finding the donor’s

plant. Both moms have commented on this. “I don’t know if that’s just coincidental, but it could be that Phoenix’s eyes changed to Natalia’s colour… we think that is kind of cool,” Robin said. Sylvia said she can certainly see the similarities in their children, especially with the eye colour and shape. “I know Natalia is everywhere,” Sylvia said. “But I certainly see my daughter in Phoenix’s eyes.” In January of 2013, the Borrowmans took their three See HEART page P5

Sylvia. “But our Natalia was brain dead… I decided to donate her heart, because I was once on the other end of organ donation when my grandmother was waiting for a liver transplant back in 1989.” Because Phoenix’s heart cavity had dilated to accommodate her enlarged heart, the little girl could receive a heart from a child up to five years of age, said her mom. One of the characteristics that Natalia had, whose family is of Cuban descent, was striking brown eyes. Young Phoenix’s eyes are now brown, changing from ice blue just after the trans-

family. “I received a letter in the mail that came directly from Sylvia,” Robin said of the donor’s mother. “I immediately emailed her back.” For the next year, the moms got to know one another, via the Internet. “We developed a strong bond. Sylvia has become a very trusted and respected member of our family,” Robin said. Phoenix’s donor heart was from Natalia, 2, who drowned in a swimming pool while the family was on vacation. “It was a very hard decision for our family to make,” said

The committee reported that, around the age of 11, children start viewing pornography online. About 40 per cent of them access it as a result of an innocent word search gone awry, 17 per cent by clicking on a benign-looking link, 14 per cent through a “pop-up window,” and 13 per cent through a misspelled website. “Some would have us believe that pornography is harmless,” reiterated Gomes. But she pointed out that pornography can be addictive, and there have been documented cases where sexual predators of children have admitted that viewing that content online made them want to carry that impulse over into reality. “Our children deserve our protection and support,” said Gomes, noting that one in six men have been abused as

“They were shocked at the wording. They wondered if this was the Town of Perth’s position. One mother was not prepared to answer her daughter’s question in the back seat about what porn is.” Earlier in the discussion, Veronica Felizardo, of the Perth Inter-Church Committee, which is sponsoring the local campaign, agreed that it can be a sensitive subject to discuss with children. “How do you talk to a four-year-old child about pornography? It is possible, in a case-appropriate way,” said Felizardo. “I think it is great that people complained…I see that as the start of the conversation. I think it is wonderful that the community is talking about it.” Coun. Jim Graff said that while it can be a touchy subject for parents to discuss, he would rather see parents taking the lead on educating their children about the issue, than schools. “The school boards and this co-parenting crap should not enter into it,” Graff said. Even Fenik, who supported the banner flying, admitted that there was a conundrum in the situation. “I see the dilemma,” he said. If a banner reading “Family Planning: Consider Birth Control,” were unfurled on Foster Street, “we would get some reaction,” said Fenik. “I have struggled with this,” said Coun. Judy Brown. “Do we want to support a political agenda? This is more of a political message.” Felizardo noted that, while the committee backing the campaign is made up of representatives from several Christian denominations, “this issue is not for or against. There are serious crimes that are directly related to the viewing of pornography. I don’t see it as a belief system. It is based on fact.” Earlier in their presentation, the women laid out their reasons behind continuing on the campaign, which has been held locally since the 1990s. “Our children are exposed to the most degrading kinds of sexual violence,” said committee member Marleen Gomes, much of it unwanted, often because of an incorrect Internet search, with seven in 10 youngsters coming across harmful sexual content online. For Felizardo, seeing such images was akin to seeing a horrific car crash right before your eyes. “The images are something that can never be erased,” Felizardo said. Seeing such images online, “leads to them (children and women) being treated as objects,” said Felizardo. “It teaches children the wrong message about sex,” and sends other harmful messages as well, such as “making light of rape.”

Family’s pet cat will have surgery this week to remove injured eye From front page

“We couldn’t let her suffer,” he said. Ruby was put on medications through an IV drip, and ingested with fluids to rehydrate her. She was X-rayed and it was discovered that she has at least 10 pellets inside her neck and head from what Roger feels may be a stray gunshot – “or deliberate.” The veterinary clinic could not discuss the case,

stating it was confidential. However, Roger, a hunter himself, said he felt it was a gunshot that hurt his beloved cat. “At first I thought it may have been a stray gunshot from someone hunting partridge, but partridge season isn’t even open yet,” he said. “This is the reason why it’s so important, before you pull the trigger, to identify your target,” he said. “With hunting season coming upon us –

deer hunting is starting the first of October – safety should be the number one concern.” He had also thought Ruby’s injuries could have been due to severe cruelty, as if someone had caged her and deliberately shot her with a pellet gun. “She’s hurt… and it has been an ordeal for her,” he said. “She will have to have her eye removed but they can’t take out the pellets. It could kill her. Ruby’s a fighter though.”

Ruby’s been on medication that the Loyers have been giving her every day, and on Sunday, Sept. 22 she started eating solid food again. On Monday, she was eating salmon off a saucer. Gwen has been diligent feeding her fluids with a syringe. “She’s been fighting for her life,” Gwen said, giving Ruby’s fur a gentle stroke as she cooed to her. “Such a good girl.”

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church welcomes new, Korean-born minister on the “Spirituality of following Jesus, according the Gospel of John.” “My major goal is to equip and empower my people to be able to connect their own lives, to read the scriptures, so that they can connect others to God,” he said. He points to Peter 2:9, where it is written that, “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” With the ‘royal priesthood,’ he explains about the ability for everyone, not just priests and

News – It is somewhat fitting that the Rev. Sean Kim knows what it is like to be the prodigal son. Only for him, he was cast out of his own home by his father, because of his Christian beliefs. “I received my call when I was a high school student,” said Kim, the new minister at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Perth during an interview at the church offices next door on Monday, Sept. 23. “I started going to church at age 17,” every Sunday, and every morning as well. “I was the first convert out of my entire family. I went to church looking for the truth of life. I found that there is something in the church, in the teaching of the bible.” While he may have found peace reading the bible every morning in his homeland of South Korea, back at home, he had to keep his faith a secret from his father. This was not too difficult to do since he went to boarding school in the nearby big city, and could honestly tell his father that he was studying. “The little seed of God’s calling was growing,” Kim said calmly. But he wanted more. Which is why, at university, he sought out a missionary organization, the Korean equivalent of The Navigators, a Christian group found at many North American campuses. “I wanted to study the bible in university,” he said, and he enjoyed the one-on-one interac-

Hwangyong-Hamnida, or, Welcome to Rev. Sean Kim, seen here in front of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, where he conducted his first service as the new minister on Sunday, Sept. 8. tion. Back at home, however, “my father, he had a very strong Confucian background in his mind,” based on the ancient teachings of a Chinese philosopher. “He believed that the spirit of ancestors protected us,” he said. “When he found that I was a Christian, it was a very serious persecution.” He had two younger siblings still living at home, a brother and a sister, and “I left my home for peace sake. I wanted to protect my younger siblings.” Everything came to a head when Sean and his family were out working in the fields, and he heard the call of the church bells. “I heard the church bells ring and I said ‘I have to go now,’” recalled Kim. “And he said, ‘If you go, don’t come back.’” He had anticipated his father’s reaction, so he already had his bags packed, and headed off. “I was not hurt at all. I understood completely,” he said. But the story did have a happy ending for Kim. “After a year or so, indirectly, through my mother, he said, ‘You can come back,’” he said. However, ever stubborn, during visits home, his father would not let up, and would try to win him back to the Confucian way of thought – while he tried to get his father to accept Jesus.

“I tried many times,” he said. Towards the end of his life, Kim’s father ended up in hospital. He spoke to the pastor at the hospital, and asked that he get good spiritual care. “He died a Christian,” he said, a small smile on his lips. “While he was in the hospital, he got baptized. He accepted.” Born in South Korea, Kimi studied English literature at Chonbuk National University in Jeonju for his B.A., before studying for his Masters in Divinity at a Presbyterian theological seminary in Suwon to become a minister. At the seminary, he met his wife. “She wanted to be a missionary in China,” he said, though that is dangerous work with a Communist government that is hostile to Christian missionaries. Once they settled in Canada, she became a cake decorator. After his seminary studies, he served as an educational minister for four years, but “I found that I wanted to study with more concentration on the New Testament. (The) Masters in Divinity (program) is very broad. I needed deeper theological training. I wanted to expand my Christian world view.” His Christian, and world view, expanded at age 35 when he boarded a plane for Canada with his family, to study at Regent College, a theological

graduate school in Vancouver. “My original plan was to go back after my PhD,” he said. But, after seeing what the Canadian way of life had to offer, “we decided to settle down. I prayed which congregation would be my future congregation. It was a big leap.” His first, and so far only other Canadian posting, was in Thompson, Manitoba to, ironically, another St. Andrew’s church, in the nickel mining town. He and his young family – which includes wife Mary, and sons Samuel, 16, and Daniel, 14, who attend Perth and District Collegiate Institute – enjoyed northern Manitoba. “Thompson is a younger city,” he said. “I thought they would be a good congregation,” and he was not let down. Having grown up in Korea, he saw things in Canada’s winters that we who grew up with it may have missed. His observant eye was able to recognize eight different shapes of snowflakes, which are all formed according to the temperatures. “I enjoyed winter there. It was dry and cold, so, not bad,” he said. “I appreciated it a lot.” He also started another course of study in Manitoba, which continues here in Perth, doing a doctorate level research program through the University of South Africa’s distance learning program. He is writing his thesis

holy men and women, to have a little bit of the divine within themselves – an idea also embodied in New Age spirituality as well. “They stole our terminology!” he said with a laugh. Kim used to play badminton and still has his racket at home. “I’m ready to do it any time,” he said. He enjoys music a great deal. His wife sings while Daniel plays violin and Samuel plays trumpet and, at his first service at St. Andrew’s on Sunday, Sept. 8, Daniel played “Amazing Grace.” “The congregation loved it,” Kim said with obvious fatherly pride.

Heart recipient meets donor family children to Disney in Orlando for three days. Sylvia, her mother Gladys, daughter Bianca, cousin Alanis, plus Natalia and Bianca’s dad, Nelson, his sister, Mabel, and mother, Theresa, all converged in Orlando to meet the Borrowman family. “We spent three wonderful days enjoying wild rides and sharing special memories. While waiting in line, we had so many special moments to share intimate memories of Natalia.� Everyone was able to see how big, strong and beautiful Phoenix is now and how much she is thriving with her gift of life, says Robin. “We all said a very teary goodbye, not wanting to leave each other company.� In July, Sylvia, Gladys, Alanis and Bianca all came to Canada from their home near Miami, Fl. “We had an amazing week that included a photo shoot from Tiny Light Foundation- Photographer Jennifer Boggett, who donates her time to take photos of children who have life threatening illness,� Robin said. “We were able to honor Natalia in the photos.� They also met with a reporter for Today’s Parent, who featured Phoenix and Natalia in a story. “We also enjoyed local sights like Wheelers Pancake House. We then ventured to Toronto for some fun at Canada’s wonderland, CN Tower and the Toronto Zoo,� Robin said. “My mother has plans to meet with Gladys this winter

There is a change that she may need a kidney transplant, down the road. It’s due to this, that the family has been raising money for the Kidney Foundation since 2010. This year’s she helping with the Perth event, taking place on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 10 a.m. at Crystal Palace. The 5km event will take participants through town, ending back at the palace for a barbecue lunch with entertainment. According to the Kidney Foundation’s website, the walks are one of the largest community fundraising events in Ontario dedicated to raising funds for innovative research, vital programs and services that support people living with kidney disease. Building on the tremendous success of last year’s event, the foundation is reaching out the community to hit their target of $850,000 to help provide hope to the more than 10,000 Ontarians currently living with kidney failure. “No one signs up for kidney disease, but with your help, we can collectively take steps to ease the burden of kidney disease,� said Bruce Hill, senior development manager for the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

SICKKIDS ABO-incompatible heart transplantation, as explained by Phoenix’s heart doctor in an email exchange, is when a heart is used from a donor with a blood group that doesn’t match the recipient’s group. “The fact that this is possible to do in infants and young children was discovered at SickKids and we did our first one in 1996,� said Dr. Anne Dipchand, who is the head of the heart transplant program and a professor of paediatrics at the University of Toronto. “Since then, we have done over 50 ABO-incompatible infant heart transplants – the highest number in the world.� The youngest recipient, she said, was just a day old. Phoenix’s condition is not very common, “but about 40 per cent of the kids who get it, end up needing a transplant,� Dipchand said, and added that the child has done very well and has a “very good prognosis.� Dipchand said they expect her to have an “almost normal childhood (no To become an organ donor, visit http:// restrictions, able to do activities with other kids) and live into adulthood if all www.ontario.ca/health-and-wellness/ organ-and-tissue-donor-registration. continues well.�

OPINION

Connected to your community

Impact of horrific crash felt by many Editorial – The awful events of Sept. 18 in Ottawa cost six people their lives. Naturally we all have questions about what went wrong when a double-decker OC Transpo bus struck a Via train near Fallowfield Station in Barrhaven. Yet, our priority in these days following the tragic event should be to care for those affected and let them know that their neighbours are here to help in any way they can. We will find out what happened as the Transportation Safety Board and Ottawa police complete their respective investigations. We may never know exactly why events unfolded as they did, but we’ll have a general idea. In the meantime, we should all make an effort to avoid speculation. Guessing at the cause serves no purpose and can only be hurtful. There is also no good reason to point fingers at past decisions about the design of rail crossing on Woodroffe Avenue and the Transitway where the collision took place. That crossing met all the existing standards of the day and is no different than hundreds – or possibly thousands – of crossings across the country. If that crossing is inherently dangerous then there is much work to do across Canada, and the federal government will have to help other levels of government

pay to keep citizens of this country safe by separating train lines for roads in many places. The TSB has committed to sharing all its information when their work is done and has also promised to alert the public and authorities if they find a glaring safety issue during their work. We can ask nothing more and nothing less. But as for now, many residents across the region are bound to know someone who was on the bus, on the train or sitting in their car on Woodroffe Avenue when the collision occurred. This was a traumatic event, and those who witnessed it deserve our support to cope with the emotional fallout. Some will also know the families of the six people – Michael Bleakney, Connor Boyd, Karen Krzyzewski, Kyle Nash, Rob More and Dave Woodard – who lost their lives. Those family members need all the help and support this community can afford them. But perhaps forgotten among those who might be shaken by this tragedy are the OC Transpo bus drivers. It’s never easy losing a colleague, and many drivers may recall the times they’ve driven past that site and think it could’ve been them and their passengers. So next time you’re getting off a bus, take a moment to thank your bus driver for getting you there safe and sound – their job is far from easy.

Honourable Malcolm Cameron

Casting call for living rooms Lifestyle - I’ve been making a pest of myself in my neighbourhood lately, showing up at doors unannounced and asking weird questions, such as: “So, may I take pictures of your living room?” Just doing my job. The best and worst thing about being self-employed is the same thing: unpredictability. Sometimes I am so busy I can barely remember my own name, but when the merry-goround slows down, I fret. “Oh, woe! I have not been busy all day! Whatever will I do? We are all going to starve!” (Sometimes I forget that downtime is okay.) The best thing about the communications work I do is the unpredictability of the assignments. One day I might be writing about a council meeting and the next day I’m editing a booklet about geology or standing on the side of the road photographing rock cuts or researching info about nasty insects. (I love this stuff, although the cars flying by while I stood on the shoulder were a bit spooky.) A couple weeks ago, a good friend connected me with a new gig that was something completely different: helping to scout locations for certain scenes in The Best Laid Plans miniseries, part of which is being shot in Perth, as reported in this paper several weeks ago. The new CBC miniseries consists of six episodes that begin in early January and are based on the book of the same name by Terry Fallis, which won the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour and Canada Reads 2011. It’s a funny story that centres around an unlikely candidate for federal election named Angus McLintock, played by Kenneth Welsh, and his campaign manager, Daniel Addison, played by Jonas Chevnick.

watch some of the filming the last time the crew was here. It was neat to watch. Just like on TV! Not long after that, completely out of the blue, I was recruited to help. Too cool! STEPHANIE GRAY My job has been to scout locations for a few different scenes, including some local businesses, and to get permission from certain property owners for specific shots. I’ve also had to find a living room. Knowing so many people in my hometown has been immensely helpful for this task! The living room auditions have been interesting. The goal has been to try to find something near the site of some other filming that is happening that day, which is handy because it is close to my ’hood. In fact, my first candidates were folks who live along one leg of my old Heart and Stroke collection route. I’ve already seen some of those living rooms – at least from the front door. As it happens, though, despite much interest and enthusiasm, life has a way of interfering with schedules, and soon the list of “people I know with nice living rooms in the right area” dwindled due to prior commitments, renovations and vacations. So it was on to the “cold calls.” I, playing the role of Random Stranger, gave my pitch at various front doors in the hopes of being invited in to take pictures of a living room to send away to Those Who Make These Decisions. I am pleased to report no one slammed the door on me (in some cases it helped that my photo is in this here paper so I was not so random a stranger). This gig was also great exercise with lots of walking. My Fitbit was happy. It’s going to be so much fun to watch both the upcoming filming and the final product in January. I applaud the enthusiasm of people in our town!

THE EMC - P8 - Thursday, September 26, 2013

News – Well, the school year has started again. PDCI is back in full force with everyone settled into their schedules, student council and band started and our fall sports in full swing. Just three weeks into the school there are many events underway. On Friday Sept. 27, we will have our annual Terry Fox run. It will be during second period and will take approximately 30 minutes. It will go down Victoria Street to Isabella and then left onto Gore Street. We will continue all the way to Craig Street and then turn left on Beckwith. We will turn left on North Street and head back down Victoria to return to the school. After the actual walk there will be a barbecue serving hotdogs and hamburgers. We suggest students bring a white T-shirt to decorate in support of Terry Fox. We also ask that all students bring their permission forms to their second period teacher. All donations are accepted, so do what you can to support Terry Fox and cancer sufferers everywhere. The Lanark Library is looking for student volunteers to help with its reading rocks program. It will begin on Oct. 8 and last for 10 weeks. This is a great opportunity to complete your community service hours. If you are looking for a job rather than community service hours why not apply at “The Hub” (the Smiths Fall’s pool). They are looking for qualified swimming instructors. If you paid your student fee and want to pick up you student card, please come to the office during breaks or at lunchtime. Mrs. Chambers is looking for low brass players to be part of the band. If you play tuba, trombone, baritone or electric bass, please see Mrs. Cham-

News – September marks the start of the 26th annual fall fundraising campaign for the United Way in Lanark County, where the community comes together to help those in need. “This year we hope to build on the success of our last campaign, where we exceeded our goal by $42,000,” says board chair Johann Ramsaran. “That success allowed us to once again support our friends, our neighbours, our community – through our member agencies – who reach out to our seniors, our youth, and our disadvantaged in the County, to help them to a better life.” To celebrate the opening of the campaign this fall, United Way Lanark County will be hosting kick-off breakfasts in Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills, with the Perth breakfast taking place on Monday, Sept. 30 from 7 to 9 a.m., hosted by The Masonry Restaurant & Market (8 Wilson Street East in Perth), who are kindly sponsoring the breakfast.

“These breakfasts provide us the opportunity to let the business community know how important their contributions are, through the support they give with both employee and corporate donations to the campaign,” says Fraser Scantlebury, executive director of the United Way. Each breakfast will feature a brief presentation on the work of the United Way Lanark County, as well as testimonials from some of those who benefit from the help provided by the 16 member agencies of the United Way Lanark County. “This year, we hope community members will consider becoming an Everyday Hero,” said Ramsaran, “where for just $1 per day, you can improve lives and make our community stronger, and for $1 per day, you can be an Everyday Hero! The process is easy – just sign up to make payroll deductions with your employer at your place of work, or sign up with us to do it by direct withdrawals from your bank account or credit card. If

you need assistance, simply call our office at 613-253-9074 or go to our website at www. lanarkunitedway.com. For a donation equal to $1 per day, you have the opportunity to make a real difference in your community!” “We are really pleased that The Masonry Restaurant & Market is generously sponsoring our breakfast this year and we just need community members to let us know they will be coming by either calling 613253-9074 or sending us an email to info@ lanarkunitedway.com,” adds Scantlebury. “To help defray costs, we are asking for a $5 donation towards the breakfast. We hope as many community members as possible turn out to help us celebrate the start of the campaign.” For further information or to RSVP, please contact the United Way Lanark County office at 613- 253-9074 or via email at info@ lanarkunitedway.com.

Cous and company visit Perth on walking tour to raise PTSD veteran funds By TERRY O’HEARN

News – As the sun rose in Perth Monday morning, Sept. 16, Medric “Cous” Cousineau and his service dog Thai marched to the GWM Hospital Cenotaph to start day 47 of his epic journey between Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia and the city of Ottawa. An undertaking that began with a hope and a prayer on Aug. 1 had quickly steamrolled, as news media became aware of the implications this fundraising effort would have on veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Cousineau was hailed as a hero

in 1986 while serving as a tactical coordinator on an Armed Forces Sea King helicopter, when he and his crew responded to a call from an American fishing vessel in distress several hundred miles off the coast of Newfoundland. In spite of being injured during the mission, he managed to rescue the two men, and he was later awarded the Star of Courage by Governor General Jeanne Sauvé. After showing symptoms of PTSD following the traumatic incident, Cousineau experienced a downward spiral over several years, and he was forced to leave the military. Those symptoms

include night terrors, being easily startled, avoidance of people and places, flashbacks, and angry outbursts. Fortunately, Cousineau became aware of the opportunity to obtain a service dog to help him deal with PTSD symptoms, through Canine Assistance and Rehabilitation Education Services (CARE), and he and Thai were trained together in Concordia, Kansas. “Paws Fur Thought” was an idea born in 2012, after Cousineau and Thai completed their training and certification, to advocate for the pairing of other injured veterans

with their own service dogs. The initial goal was to raise funds for 50 dogs to help 50 veterans who suffer from PTSD. While the “Long Walk to Sanity” ended on Thursday, September 19, at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, the concept of “Paws fur Thought” will continue on with a core of dedicated and capable volunteers. Cousineau hopes to coordinate this from his home in Eastern Passage, NS. The distance covered was approximately 1,065 kilometers. The Perth segment of the walk moved from the Cenotaph

to Elmwood Cemetery, where veterans’ gravesites were visited, and on to other points of interest in Perth and vicinity including Links O’ Tay Golf Club, Town Hall, Perth Museum, Last Duel Park, and the Old Burying Ground. At the Burying Ground, local author and historian Irene Spence spoke about some relevant history at the gravesite of Col. Alexander Fraser from her book “Forgotten Hero”, which was co-authored with Ron Shaw. The tour continued to Spence’s residence, which had been the home of Fraser for many years until his death in 1872.

A reception and meal was held in the Members’ Lounge of the Perth Legion at 5:30pm, attended by many local veterans and dignitaries, including Mayor John Fenik. The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets (RCSCC Lanark 211, Carleton Place) performed a moving Sunset Ceremony near the end of the day. On Sept. 19, organizer RCAF Lieutenant Colonel Vaughn Cosman was able to report that “we’ve successfully concluded the Paws fur Thought, Long Walk to Sanity”. The total kilometers walked was 1,065, an average of 21.3 kilometers per day.

Successful Paws Fur Thought walk through Perth News – Many people need to be thanked for the success of our Perth segment of the Paws fur Thought - Long Walk to Sanity, which occurred here on Monday, Sept. 16.

The shine of the times

Lifestyle – This summer we packed up our camping gear and headed west for four weeks. Southern Utah to be exact: the land where John Wayne shot his westerns, and where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hid out. We ended up hiking five hours a day. Even rode horse back down into Bryce Canyon, through some of the most incredible scenery on the planet. Red stone mesas and arches as far as the eye could see. Through dusty desert landscapes that could take your breath away. It was the hot time of year, and we encountered temperatures up to 43 degrees. You can say, “Yeah but it’s a dry heat� all you want. At that temperature you still feel like melting. This trip has been a long time coming. We started thinking about it following a trip to the Grand Canyon seven years ago. But for one reason or another it kept getting put on the back burner. Money way too tight. Or we needed to be there for the support of friends going through a hard time. Or we were moving. Last time we went west our kids were 10 and eight. They could barely keep up and some parts of the adventure had to be tailored to their endurance. This time I had to work to keep up to my son who had grown from a short,

eight year-old to a six-foot powerhouse. We hiked, climbed, rode and took thousands of pictures that while beautiful, don’t do the experience justice. I look at those pictures now after six weeks or so and try to picture what it like actually standing there. Viewing the expanse of a canyon from the rim, or marvelling at the stars which seem so much brighter and closer in a sky unmarked by the pollution we belch into the sky from our factories in this part of North America. We have some incredible memories as a family. But somehow I fear that the vivid colour and immense beauty will fade over time. Our schedules will once more clutter. Our eyes and ears will adjust. And this day-to-day living could fall into a rut of routine that leaves wonder out of the equation. I know all too well how life can dull your senses. And make each day a little more dreary. And it isn’t just about natural beauty. Lanark County has some in-

credible sights and sounds, both natural and manmade. It is more about how we look for beauty and interact with it. On our travels, repeatedly we commented about God’s creativity in using the forces of nature like erosion to sculpt the landscape that inspired us, and that God is no less active in our part of the world. But sometimes we don’t pay attention to the beauty of the world around us or the people we encounter. We walk around not only numb to it ourselves, but polluting our world with our attitudes and action making it hard for others to see the world as anything but ugly. But what if we decided not to do that? What if today you decided, you want to make the world a better place for as many people as you can in big and small ways? What if you looked at things from God’s creative perspective and revelled in the artistry? Could it be that the world around us would start to look more like one we could be excited to live in?

Pope Francis’ gay, abortion comments ‘a teachable moment’: McNally Perth’s Catholic priest accuses media of taking ‘liberties’ with pope’s words By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Pope Francis made Fr. Brian McNally cram last week. The Argentine pope made headlines again last week when he spoke out on abortion, gay rights, and contraception, making Perth’s Catholic priest rush to read up on what his boss in the Vatican had said. “We cannot insist on only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods,” said the pope in an interview with Antonio Spedaro, editor-inchief of an Italian Jesuit journal in August. “The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time… The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently.” In another widely-reported quote, he wrote that “we have to find a new balance, otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards.” “He used the word ‘obsessed’, but he doesn’t say that that is the current state,” said McNally, pointing to his printed copy of the English translation of the pope’s article, an interview which was published simultaneously in 16 Jesuit magazines around the world. While the pope’s article may have been lengthy, he chided the more secular media, like The New York Times, for their coverage of the article last Thursday. “They took liberties with the way in which he expressed it,” he said, pointing to his markedup copy of the article which he had just spent an hour reading that very afternoon.

Above, a photograph of Pope Francis greets visitors and faithful to St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church in Perth. The Argentine generated worldwide headlines last week with comments about abortion, contraception, and gay rights. At right, the faithful observe ‘Holy Hour,’ at St. John’s this past Friday morning. Already, that very morning, parishioners were talking about Francis’ words in groups outside of the church after holy hour, and in a visit to St. John Catholic High School, a young man had already asked McNally about the headlines. While he despaired of how the headlines that may have accompanied the pope’s words, he did see a silver lining in that “it does become a teachable moment, even though it was taken badly out of context.” Late in the afternoon on Friday, McNally sat, green tea before him, in the priest’s house beside the church, in the dining room, a painting of The Last Supper behind him, and a picture of Pope Benedict XVI on the far wall, along with other religious artifacts in the slightly austere surroundings. McNally had looked up the pope’s speech on his iPhone that morning, and “I think it is a good

article, very long,” he chuckled, but “he is extremely articulate, very inviting.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in essence, the church’s rules, state that homosexual acts are a “grave depravity,” that are “intrinsically disordered. They are contrary to natural law… Under no circumstances can they be approved.” While Francis is not dismissing church law, many are seeing his words as a change in emphasis on what is important to the church, when compared to his predecessor Pope John Paul II and especially Benedict XVI. But earlier this year, during a press conference on board a flight back to Italy, after attending World Youth Day in Brazil, on the issue of homosexuality, Francis said that “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” “I appreciated Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict and it’ll

take the church and society years to digest their teachings,” said McNally. But, already, only six months into his papacy, McNally declared that Francis “has an impact comparable to that of John Paul II, a heroic figure,” credited by many as bringing about the end of communism. “Pope Francis brings a warmth and humanity to the papacy,” said McNally, a different approach from the more academic Benedict. “His heart is with the poor and vulnerable.” Also in the article, Francis stated that he wanted a ‘big tent’ church, which appears to be at odds with Benedict’s desire for a smaller, nimbler church, if necessary, that was more faithful to dogma, leaving more liberal Catholics to go elsewhere. “I guess it is a bit contradictory,” said McNally of the approach of the two popes. “It is a bit of a paradox… (But) the Roman Catholic church cannot have a

lowest common denominator on such things as the reality of God, the person of Jesus.” It is worth noting that Pope Francis is the first pope to have been ordained a priest after the major reforms of the church in the 1960s, commonly known as Vatican II. He is also the first Jesuit pope, and they have long had a commitment to social justice. According to the British magazine The Week, he has been known to cold-call the faithful about issues of concern, and even promised one new mother that he would see to it that her baby got baptized, even though it was born out of wedlock. In another change of tone, in a letter to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, he wrote about atheists that “the question for those who do not believe in God is to follow their own conscience…to listen and to follow your conscience means that you understand the difference between good and evil.” With regular moments such

as these, McNally stated that the pope was being “welcoming,” in a “culture that, in many ways, (is) opposed to the proclaiming of the gospel.” He also admitted that, within the church, “there has been a lack of clarity over the years.” He was also quick to point out that “he is not backing off from speaking clearly about the moral issues of the time,” adding that he had spoken out against abortion in an address to Catholic gynecologists that very day, as an example of the “throw-away culture.” The Perth chapter of the Catholic Women’s League declined comment on this story, and a phone call to the Perth chapter of the Knights of Columbus were not returned by this past Monday. Other Catholics leaving St. John’s holy hour last Friday morning also declined the opportunity to speak on the record.

Market season closes with community lunch on Oct. 5 Events - The Perth Farmers Market is celebrating the drawing to a close of the market season with a community lunch on Oct. 5. This continues last year’s tradition of a sit-down community meal that the market held to celebrate their 20th anniversary. A very successful fundraiser for the Table Community Food Centre, tickets must be purchased in advance at the market for planning purposes, and are only $10. Judy Dempsey, chef at the Table and original member of the Perth Farmers Market, will once again create the meal along with a group of volunteers. To celebrate the season she is creating a gluten free roasted vegetable lasagna, with Silkes carrot bread (on the side) and a seasonal dessert with coffee from Coutts Coffee (their special “Table” roast). The food will be served at 12 noon as a sit-down lunch along with music by Ali McCormic inside the beautifully decorated Crystal Palace. In order to purchase tickets, come to the market

Saturday and talk to the market assistant Peggy Land, email smackenzie@juno. com, or phone Sarah at 613-284-0578, or check out the Facebook page www. facebook.com/PerthFarmersMarket. Once again all proceeds will benefit the Table, and it follows the successful chilli cook off held Sept. 21 which raised $438 for the Table by serving a variety of chilli (and a bun) created by the vendors. Judged by the Board Members of the Table, the winning chilli was made by Coral Sproule of Queen Beet Farm; second place, Barb Hannush of Barbells, and third Sarah Mackenzie of Hollyhock Grange. The Farmers’ Market has truly enjoyed great support this year from the customers who came from near and far every Saturday morning, rain or shine to enjoy seasonal produce, hand made crafts and the great atmosphere. We look forward to eating with you on Oct. 5 Submitted by The Perth Farmers Market THE EMC - P16 - Thursday, September 26, 2013

While many patients with age-related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy, the two leading causes of blindness, were required to travel to Kingston to have vision-saving treatment, they can now stay in the Perth/Smiths Falls area to complete their procedures. Dr. Sanjay Sharma, an internationally recognized retina specialist has now brought the Macula Clinic to Smiths Falls to conveniently provide retinal care to patients living in Perth/Smiths Falls and surrounding areas. The macula is the small central part in the back of the eye that allows us to see fine detail. This is important for activities like reading, driving, and face recognition. In both age-related macular degeneration and diabetes, the macula can become very wet with fluid which can ultimately destroy vision. Fortunately these conditions can be treated with medications that are injected into the eye. These injections result in stabilization of vision in 95% of people and significant improvement in nearly half.

...to build brand awareness ...to stretch marketing dollars ...to make more money

“We have heard from our patients that traveling to Kingston for their eye injections was very difficult for them and their family members. While our patients still have to have specialized testing done in Kingston, I believe establishing a Macula Clinic in Smiths Falls provides better care for patients in this and surrounding areas”, says Dr. Sharma, a Professor of Ophthalmology and Epidemiology at Queen’s University who completed his training in retinal diseases at Harvard University.

Choose the marketing tools that are right for you!

“These treatments have made a huge impact on the quality of life of our patients”, says Dr. Sharma who has authored over 200 scientific articles. “Our research shows that without timely treatment patients can lose vision within a matter of weeks.” Patients in the Brockville and Belleville areas are already benefiting from the presence of having a Macula Clinic in their area. Ms. Daphne Hall, a patient with the wet form of macular degeneration who used to travel to Kingston for her eye injections is benefiting from the procedure done locally. “We are so appreciative of Dr. Sharma and his team coming here. I no longer have to worry about how I am going to get back and forth to Kingston.”

Hospital prepares for accreditation survey News - The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (the “Hospital”) is working enthusiastically to get things organized for the upcoming visit by Accreditation Canada. The hospital was granted a full three-year accreditation by Accreditation Canada following its most recent survey held in October, 2010. “Being accredited is very important to the overall reputation of the Hospital and the recognition it receives, “ indicated Lynda Hendriks, Chair of the Board of Directors. The preparation for the survey is lead by the Manager of Quality, Cathy Cassidy-Gifford and supported by Accreditation Assistant, Judy Town. “The staff, volunteers and physicians do an excellent job each and every day and I am proud to showcase our organization at every opportunity,” noted Linda Bisonette, President & CEO. The survey will run over the span of three and a half days beginning October 7 to October 10 with three surveyors visiting the two site facility to review all facets of the organization – from policies to practice.

Patient Care Services. The tracers will include discussions with front line staff, patients, families and physicians. “I have no doubt that the staff will shine during the course of the survey,” stated Dr. Caroline Ehrat, Co-Director of Emergency Services at the Great War Memorial Site of the Perth &

Smiths Falls District Hospital. Bisonette went on to say that, “despite the many changes required to balance the hospital budget, the staff and physicians have remained true to our Mission of fostering the well being of the people we serve.” The accreditation preparation process involved the completion of two online surveys, “Worklife Pulse” and “Patient Safety Culture”. The online surveys were completed during the summer months by staff and based on the results of these surveys, “roadmaps” were prepared by Accreditation Canada to assist the hospital in preparing for the October survey. The volunteer accreditation process is used by the Hospital and other Canadian hospitals for the purpose of evaluating one’s services against the national standard of delivery and to continuously improve the quality and safety of patient care. “We look forward to our survey and are anxious to welcome our peers from other Canadian facilities in their role of assessing the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital against the national standards,” added Dr. Peter Roney, Chief of the Medical Staff.

Rope rescue saves coyote in Tay Canal after three-hour ordeal said Fran. “The adrenalin kicked in and she just took off.� All told, the ordeal had lasted about three hours. “We all went home feeling very good,� said Fran. She could not thank Ferizell and his men enough. “This guy who had the rope, he knew what he was doing,� said Fran. “They were great people. They stopped work to help.� Shortly afterwards, a township truck arrived on the scene. She went back to thank Ferizell and his men twice more that week, and even stopped in to the Parks Canada employees at the site. “They said, ‘Oh, someone should have been here,’� she recalled. After the commotion, Fran tried to figure out just how the coyote had ended up in the water.

She had noticed a pile of excrement near the lock’s edge, and surmised that the coyote must have gotten into a scuffle nearby and fell in. “She must have swam and swam and she couldn’t swim any longer,� she said.

While coyotes may be a nuisance to some at the best of times, a kind hearted construction worker just couldn’t stand to see an animal suffer, trapped at the bottom of one of the Tay Canal’s locks on Sept. 3.

News – Quick thinking by a group of builders may have saved the life of a female coyote at Lower Beveridges Lock on the Tay Canal earlier this month. On Tuesday, Sept. 3, Fran Atkinson and her sister, Susan Greenley, were taking a walk near the locks outside of Port Elmsley, Drummond/North Elmsley Township, walking Fran’s Jack Russell, when “she alerted us. She sniffed the air, and started to bark.â€? When the two women looked over the side, they saw a coyote hanging on to the ladder at the side of the lock. “My sister and I were in tears when she looked up at us with her eyes,â€? Fran recalled. “It was pleading with its eyes‌ She was just shaking. The fur was dry, she must have been in there a while.â€? The duo contacted Fran’s husband, Brian, who contacted the likes of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the OPP. The police then contacted the Ministry of Natural Resources, according to Brian. “It was going to drown,â€? said Brian. “It was smart. It put its bottom legs on the bottom rung,â€? but it could not hold on indefinitely. The OPP told Brian that, if no one else was able to get the coyote out, they would see what they could do. Meanwhile, back at the lock, the two women were frantically trying to find any Parks Canada employees at either the upper or lower lock stations, but none were to be found. “There was no one at the locks, and no number to call,â€? she said. Nearby, workers, led by Ken Ferizell, were busy working on a house.

“I could hear them working away,� said Fran, who ran over and explained the situation. “I don’t think it can hang in much longer.� Ferizell made a number of phone calls himself before realizing that, if any help was to be had, it would have to come from someone at the scene. “These construction workers came over and hauled it up with a rope,� said Brian. One of the workers affixed the rope to the coyote but, before he descended the ladder, remarked to Fran that, growing up on a farm near Lanark, “we have nothing but trouble with coyotes. But you can’t look into those eyes and not help.� Once she was back on dry land, the coyote did not waste any time. “She just took off running,�

Spartans football teams open season with wins JUNIOR ACTION On a hot and dusty day the junior Spartans defeated last year’s LRFL finalists, Arnprior, 14-6. The offence was led by strong running performances from Tyler Murphy, Noah Noonan and Dawson Rockburne. Murphy and Noonan each scored a TD in the first half and Rockburne’s powerful inside running ate up much of the clock in the second half. Scott Seguin converted two point-after attempts to give the Spartans a 14-0 lead heading into halftime. The defence was solid The senior Spartans host crosstown rivals Perth and District throughout the game. Morgan Hendershott’s Collegiate Institute next Friday interception just before half Sept. 27. Sports – The St. John Catholic High School senior boys football team claimed a big defensive win in Smiths Falls on Friday, Sept. 20 in their season opener. The Spartans and the RedHawks played a big defensive game in the first half resulting in no score. In the second, Mike Brown scored the touchdown and Brandon McIntosh kicked a rouge for the 8-0 win. The stellar defence was led by Pat Pankow’s two interceptions that denied the RedHawks any opportunity of scoring.

stymied a potentially good Arnprior drive. The lone TD the defence gave up came after they had stopped Arnprior on a third down play, but a dubious penalty was called against the defence which gave the ball to Arnprior on the oneyard line. The special teams play was outstanding, noted the coach, Dominic Marando. “Jesse Vincent’s punts and excellent downfield tackling by the special teams unit had Arnprior pinned deep in their end of the field for most of the game.” The juniors host Carleton Place H.S. on Sept. 27.

Sports – The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings got their first win under their belts on Sunday afternoon when they travelled to Stittsville to take on the Royals in EOJHL action. It was a well-fought, hard-played 5-4 shootout win, said Colin Glenn, the team’s assistant coach and general manager. “The boys did well,â€? Glenn said. “They were down 3-0 against Stittsville and Michael (McLean, head coach) called a casual timeout‌ settled the troops down.â€? The timeout chat was to get the team to focus on the task at hand as they were getting into some penalty trouble, Glenn noted. The apparent calm that soothed the rattled nerves seemed to work as the Blue Wings fought back for their first win of the season. It probably was a little tougher for some of the boys to play on the ice against former teammates – and coach, as some familiar Perth names are now on the Stittsville bench. “It’s probably a little more personal for some,â€? Glenn said of the big win over Stittsville. “For myself it’s not. We needed the two points, didn’t matter who it was against.â€? Stittsville’s Talmadge Farnes had the only goal of the opening period, which he scored at the 12:40 mark, assisted by Brendan Moloney. Clay Carter and Eric Malloy gave the home team a 3-0 advantage before Perth’s Brock Stashick found the back of the net. Heading in the final period, Alex Vala scored on the power play, assisted by Zac Rodier but Stittsville bounced back with another power-play marker scored by Jesse Renaud, assisted by Ben Wade and Jeremy Nichols.

Blair Barr sunk a power-play marker, assisted by Adam Morton and Rodier to come within one. Adam Morton made good on his goal with less than a minute to play. The Blue Wings opted for the extra attacker to tie the game and force the overtime. Morton was assisted by Christian Beuti and Barr. After a scoreless overtime period, a shootout ensued with Bar and Rodier doing the damage for Perth. Ben Wade was the lone scorer for Stittsville, resulting in the 5-4 final. Jeremy Wright was the winning netminder; Jason Shaw took the loss. All three stars were chosen from Stittsville: Joey Laird, Farnes and Shaw. SHAWVILLE 5 PERTH 0 “It could have been 11-0 on Friday night if it wasn’t for Jeremy Wright,â€? Glenn said of the backstopping prowess of Perth’s veteran goalie. “He was one of the very few bright spots in the game‌ not a lot of help up front.â€? Once again, it was the penalty lament that hurt the Blue Wings as they had almost 40 minutes in penalties to Shawville’s 59 minutes. Glenn said the team “just can’t play short. It screws everything up – from lines to morale. We’re a team that can’t play in the box. For guys to spend six or seven minutes in the box, you can’t get anything out of them when they’re back on the ice.â€? Conditioning has been great, though, noted Glenn. “If we don’t get into penalty trouble we can roll with four lines and six D and everyone’s in the game‌ they’re happy. We were pretty pleased after Sunday’s game.â€? Clarence Beavers are in town Friday

night, 8 p.m. as their only game of the week. “Personally I think they’ve got the best one-two goaltending tandems in the league but like everybody else, they can be beat,� Glenn said of the Beavers. Fan support has been great so far this season, he added. “We’re getting the support,� he said. “It’s been nice.�

News – Clyde River walleye spawning bed enhancements were completed in August during a one-day working bee led by Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) and the Lanark and District Fish and Game Conservation Club (LDFGCC). The project focused on promoting more resident walleye spawning and strengthening the future populations by placing clean rock rubble on the bed of the river which is an ideal habitat for the fish. It attracted volunteers from across the region. “This project really appealed to a variety of groups, it was a simple and low impact enhancement that will improve not only the success of the species, but that of its environment,” said MVCA’s Andy Moore. The Kemptville-based Ontario Youth Stewardship Rangers and a crew of volunteers from Pinchin Environmental Limited in Kanata worked alongside Glen Neilson Construction placing materials provided by the MVCA, LDFGCC and Thomas Cavanagh Construction, who delivered the materials, and also donated one load of material for the project free of charge. “The LDFGCC was encouraged to work with such an enthusiastic group and get the job done. The day was a success that we hope to repeat with more projects like it around the area,” said Wendell Crosbie, the club’s president. Walleye, a popular summer and winter catch, are an important part of both a healthy watershed and a successful sport fishing region. With the Clyde River and Kerr Lake’s close proximity to Lanark Village it is a good area to attract anglers, especially during the winter months.

Volunteers and MVCA staff place rock on the Clyde River bed to promote walleye spawning and enhance the habitat.

Oil Lamps: Oil lamps or lanterns provide excellent light but can be a fire hazard if placed too close to combustibles. Keep oil lamps away from combustibles and out of the wind. Make sure they are kept in a secure place where they cannot be knocked over. Refill the lamps outdoors or away from combustibles and other people.

On Sept. 17 we started off with Patrick Graham from BMO Nesbitt Burns, and the Perth Rotary Club. Graham came to us to talk with the youth about finances. He specifically talked about Income and Expenses and how people are often

happy when their income is more than expenses, and people are often upset when their income is less than their expenses. He explain to the youth that there are simple ways of figuring out what your income is and what your expenses are, and that is to make a chart and write all your income on one side and all your expenses on the other and compare. He also talked with the youth about debt and how interest on debt works. He discussed

Operation Christmas Child’s shoebox presents help children in need worldwide Community – Children in developing countries receive a touch of Christmas through Operation Christmas Child. A simple shoebox will brighten the life of an underprivileged child and show them that someone in another part of the world cares about their happiness. Last year, Operation Christmas Child reached the milestone of delivering to children around the world 103,720,570 boxes collected worldwide since 1993. The Canadian total given for 2012 was 662,312 with Ontario residents contributing 255,661. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse and is the largest Christmas project of its kind. Shoebox gifts are given to children suffering in war, poverty, famine, disease and natural disaster, regardless of race, gender, religion or ethnicity. Through the giving of this simple gift and message of hope, these young and often forgotten survivors learn they are loved. Samaritan’s Purse also provides disaster relief in countries around the world that are in need including Canada. They respond to humanitarian crises with physical aid and a message of hope. In Canada, their Disaster Response Units, several tractor trailers outfitted with generators, pumps, hand tools, and safety gear, equip staff and volunteers to help in a tangible way for Canadians in need. In central Ontario, heavy rains and melting ice and snow created a devastating combination. Samaritan’s Purse helped homeowners clean out and prepare their homes for rebuild when several communities in the Muskoka region were forced to declare states of emergency. In southern Alberta, record river levels and melting snow from the Rocky Mountains combined with heavy rainfall to produce major floods in the city of Calgary as well as other southern Alberta communities. Three Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Relief Units and multi-

tudes of volunteers responded to help affected communities. Samaritan’s Purse works in more than 100 countries worldwide, enabling them to take Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to many places. Though they distribute boxes in those countries where they are working, if they are invited to bring boxes to other countries they will respond. Canadian boxes are usually sent to West Africa, Central America, and South America, as well as Haiti; and when requested, to other countries where, because of natural disasters or unexpected events, the shoe boxes are a powerful message of hope. Samaritan’s Purse also provides food, clothing, blankets, shelter, clean water, sleeping bags, medical supplies and hospital equipment. Filling a gift-filled shoe box is something personal that a Canadian can do to let a child, who has suffered greatly, know that he or she is valued. For many children, the shoebox is the only gift they have ever received, something many of us find hard to imagine, Operation Christmas Child brings hope for today, and Samaritan’s Purse provides resources for a better tomorrow. This year, the boxes will be shipped to Argentina, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Haiti. What gifts go in the shoeboxes? • Toys: stuffed animals, dolls, building blocks, balls, small cars, musical items (harmonica, whistles, etc.) • School supplies: pens, pencils, sharpeners, crayons, coloured pencils, erasers, notebooks, colouring books, solar calculators • Hygiene products: toothbrushes (customs will not allow toothpaste), soap (placed in a plastic bag), hair brushes, combs, hair clips and acces-

sories, small towels, etc. • Other: individually wrapped hard candy in a sealable bag, clothing (Tshirts, socks, hats, gloves and scarfs), sunglasses, flip flops, toy jewelry or lightweight tools. • A personal note and/or a photo of yourself or your family is appreciated by the child receiving the box. Choose to pack your box for a girl or boy, ages two to four, five to nine, or 10 to 14. The $7 that is suggested you include, if you are able, is to help with the shipping of the boxes. You may receive a thank you letter from one of these precious children as others have in previous years. In Cuya, Guatemala, a single mother was crying as she thanked the Operation Christmas Child team for the gifts they brought to their community, especially the gift for her daughter. In her daughter’s shoebox was a pair of shoes which went perfectly with her school uniform. The mother had not known how she was going to afford to buy the shoes before the school year started, as she couldn’t find enough work to pay for them. Another young child in Africa with a gift of drawing but could not buy the supplies he needed received a box from a generous Canadian family who had filled it with materials that he could be used to continue his drawing. These boxes do make a great difference in children’s lives! Not only do they show that they haven’t been forgotten, but often are the answer to some physical need in their life. We are very fortunate to live in a country where help is available if we are in need but in these countries there is no help available. They have to scrape by with the bare necessities never being able to give their children those things that bring that special smile to their faces. See SHOEBOX page 31

In addition to being escorted by Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers, the event included a silent auction and catered hors d’oeuvres by Leatherworks, as well as a Shepherd’s fashion show.

What should be in a hunter’s backpack? • a reliable source of fire; • a whistle; • a compass with a map of the area; • a GPS with spare batteries; • a flashlight; • a small survival kit (sold in big box stores, the size of a tin of sardines); • a small first-aid kit; • rope; • brass wire (for building a shelter or a snare); • an orange garbage bag; • a water bottle; • trail marking tape. If the weather is cold, bring along a small thermos with a hot drink, and don’t forget a few energy bars or a snack. This pack should

be with you every time you step out into the bush. Think of it not as your suitcase, but as your survival kit; you should always have with you the basics you’d need to stay warm and protected if you ever lost your way or got injured and couldn’t walk out. Every time you go hunting, tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back. Ensure that you contact this person in case of delay, either by cell or satellite phone or with the new satellite messenger technology, called “SPOT”. It is also recommended that hunters complete a first aid and survival course before venturing into the wilderness. Happy hunting!

DEER HUNTERS!

One of the most important pieces of equipment for hunters is a well-packed backpack or shoulder bag. Loaded with a few select essentials, it should be taken every time you go scouting or hunting. Be sure to choose a pack that is comfortable, weatherproof, and noiseless (doesn’t make swooshing sounds as you walk). Waterproof camouflage fabric is preferable but not essential. The extras you pack may depend on the distance you have to cover between your vehicle and your camp, but some articles should always stay in the pack. Here is a basic list of the items to be included: • a multi-purpose tool with a blade and small saw; • a survival blanket;

Three things to master As deer hunting season approaches, you’re likely beginning to feel the itch. This is a good time to review the secrets to a successful deer hunt. Sure, hunting’s not something you learn by the book, but better to brush up on theory than have to eat your pride with an empty freezer this fall. Taking care of details can make all the difference between returning home empty-handed or with pride written all over your face. SCENT A deer’s first line of defense is its sense of smell, so take every precaution to mask your own scents. A scent eliminator can be used on your clothes to remove any odors except for those present in the surrounding environment. Know how to take advantage of the wind by deciding which way it is blowing and where your game is travelling from before you set up your stand or blind. Pay careful attention to the lubricants that you use on your weapons. SOUND Deer have a very well developed sense of hearing, and any unusual noise can

startle them before you have a chance to shoot. Be sure to minimize any abnormal sounds coming from your stand or blind that could give you away. Wear a safety vest made of fabric rather than noisy vinyl or plastic. MOVEMENT A deer does not use its vision as much at its A good hunter always carries a sense of smell and hearing, but it is still a fac- backpack that contains a few estor that should not be neglected.

Ultimate anti-hero rules the big screen once again MOVIE: Riddick: Rule the Dark STARRING: Vin Diesel, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff and Dave Bautista DIRECTOR: David Twohy RATING: PG Arts – It’s kind of interesting to be cheering for the murderous psychopath. Though I suppose that was always the charm of the Riddick films. Betrayed by the Necromongers Riddick (Vin Diesel) is left for dead on a strange and harsh world. It’s the kind of planet where death waits for the unwary. In other words Riddick is right at home. Riddick claws his way back from the brink of death. Then he claws his way to the top of the food chain. Eventually he finds a mercenary outpost, and sends out a distress call making sure anyone who hears it knows who sent it. Then he waits. It isn’t long before two mercenary groups show up. The

My Take MARK HASKINS

first rag tag group, led by Santana (Jordi Molla), is only interested in killing Riddick and claiming the reward. The second more disciplined team, led by Boss Johns (Matt Nable), seems to be after something else. Riddick doesn’t care what they want. All he wants is one of their ships, and as long as they give it to him he won’t kill them all. Neither group is about to give up a ship, but Riddick knows something they don’t. He knows the rains are coming, and he’s seen what the rains bring. If they don’t get off this planet before the storm hits no one’s getting off.

Riddick: Rule the Dark takes us right back to the beginning. It’s Riddick versus the monsters in a battle that completely recaptures the intensity and thrill of the first film. It has those same elements of horror, action and that same twisted humour. Of course this time around we’re all well acquainted with the character of Riddick so the fun here is watching him do what he does best. You almost feel sorry for the mercs. There’s a pretty decent cast set up to be fodder for Riddick. Jordi Molla opens things up nicely as Santana. It’s not easy to play the kind of a psychopath that makes Riddick seem a

hero and provide comic relief, but Molla does an excellent job. Matt Nable does a fair job of portraying the straight and narrow soldier, and Dave Bautista provides a great climactic fight scenes. Then there’s Katee Sackhoff who plays Dahl. She steals her fair share of the spotlight with some great lines and a mean right hook. Of course this is really the Vin Diesel show. Riddick is one of the great anti-heroes, and I love the way Diesel plays him. When he’s in character everything about him becomes dangerous. In this third installment Diesel hasn’t lost a step or that air of menace. There’s never a doubt that Riddick is the most dangerous thing in the dark. Riddick is a slick film that gets back to its roots while it opens up possibilities for the future. I can’t wait for the next one. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

DEATH NOTICE

KING John Kenneth (Retired Almonte doctor passes away) Our dear father passed away on September 22, 2013, at the age of 84 on the Rosamond Wing of the Almonte General Hospital following complications due to a stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease. Born in Moncton, N.B., April 8, 1929, son of the late John and Pearl King, twin brother to Barry, Jean and the late Dorothy King. He was the beloved husband to Alma (nee Cooley) for 58 years and the father to John (Marilyn), Tim (Pam) and Heather (David). Dad graduated from UNB in 1950 with his BSc in Biology and from McGill in 1954 where he obtained his medical degree. John interned (general surgery) for five years in Montreal and Saint John, New Brunswick. A request for a locum from Dr. R. Bach brought Dad to Almonte, in 1959. A one year locum turned into 47 years of medical practice and devotion to the people of Almonte. We are convinced that if Dad were not faced by the challenges of Alzheimer’s that he would still be practicing medicine today. Dad was an accomplished athlete in many sports, excelling in track and rugby and was inducted into the Fredericton Sports Wall of Fame in 1999 along with his relay team that won the Canadian Championship in 1947. Even when Dad was not working directly with his patients he was involved in charity work through the Masons (Mississippi Lodge No. 147) and the Knights Templar in Alymer for 40 years. Dad’s intellectual mind, sense of humour, his caring and compassionate manner impacted many lives over the span of his life. Family and Friends Celebrated Dad’s Life at C. R. GAMBLE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL INC. 127 Church St., Almonte, ON. 613-256-3313 on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 from 11am to 1pm. Celebration of Life occurred the same day in the Chapel at 1pm. Reception followed in the Comba Suite of Gamble Funeral Home. Private family inurnment. A special thanks goes out to all the staff at the Rosamond Wing in Almonte who made Dad’s last days peaceful and who were an incredible support to our family. Thank-you to Dr. H. Abramenko for her medical attention over the years and to a special care-giver, Nancy Munro who has been a tremendous help to our family. If desired, John’s family would appreciate memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Society. Condolences & Tributes www.crgamble.com

LEARMONTH, David Richard September 1, 1950 - September 25, 2012 Dad It has been one year since you left us, The shock of losing you so suddenly still rips at my heart There are so many things that I didn’t get to tell you, So many things I want to share with you I remember so fondly the nights you came to see us, (just coming for a quick visit) you would always say I still remember you sitting at the table asking about our day I love the laughs we had together and the suppers too I miss you Dad, more than you could know, I really wish you didn’t have to go You have always been so supportive of me and I will never forget How great of a Dad you are to me. Daddy I love you to the moon and back and around the world Until we meet again xoxoxo Love Ann

BEAMISH – In loving memory of a son, brother and uncle, Jonathan Wr. Beamish, September 28, 2006. He is gone, but not forgotten, And, as dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come o’er us, Friends may think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow That lies within the heart concealed. Gone but not forgotten Love Mom and Herb Jason Jamie, Stephanie and Grady

Ten years without you have been hard. You were the first man that I loved, You were my first and only hero. I loved you for all your hard work and long hours so you could take care of our family, I loved you for the many times you were there for me when I needed you, I loved how I could tell that it was you anywhere just by hearing you whistling your tunes, I loved all your great stories and adventures about your life that you shared with everyone, I loved the sound of your deep, hearty belly laugh, I loved you for trying so hard to make me feel better after Ken passed away, I loved you for being there for Mom when she was sick and for always loving her, I loved you for being my Dad! Ten years without you have been hard. Missing you every day, Love Sandra xxxooo

COE, Charlie In loving memory of my dear husband, Charlie, who passed away September 27, 2011.

GIFF, Ronald Clarence “Butch� “Uncle B� In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle who passed away September 28, 2006. We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family

In tears we saw you sinking, And watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again? It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. Ronnie and Tammy, Jamie and Mallory Charlie and Emmett

We made our vows together, And said “till death do we part� So when God came and took your hand, My whole life fell apart. No one knows the heartache, I try so hard to hide, No one knows how many times, I’ve broken down and cried. When I look back upon our lives, Just one thing makes me glad, That you chose me to share with you, The precious years we had. Loving you always and forever, Your wife Donna Also loved by Richard, Kyle, Nick, Hailey-Dawn

LEVI - In loving memory of a dear Father and Grandfather, John Peter Levi, who passed away September 24, 1999. There will always be heartache and often a silent tear. But always a precious memory of the days when you were here. We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain. To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by the family.

Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, Our dearest one we loved you, In a very special way. If we could have one lifetime wish, The dream that could come true, We’d pray to God with all our heart, For yesterday and you. Love, Dad and Mom

ing the intimidation factor. “When students first come to class, they’re often worried they won’t be able to keep up,” explains Gray. “So it’s really gratifying to see them navigate confidently through the computer system and around the Internet by the time we’re wrapping up the course.” New this year is the computer help workshops, which take place Sept. 30 and Nov. 18. The college is hosting these two separate workshops this

fall, allowing up to 12 participants to register and get one-on-one guidance from an instructor on specific questions related to their own computer and needs. Participants will be able to email their questions ahead of time and the two-hour session will be the perfect opportunity to get their questions answered. For community members who want to build up their resumé, they can enroll in the Microsoft Office courses

scheduled for this fall. The courses include Microsoft Office for Beginners, Microsoft Office Advanced and Microsoft PowerPoint. The Continuing Education courses are offered to anyone over 18 years of age and registration is now open. Ready to register?

Shoreline stewardship manager serves Westport and Area Fall Colours as guest speaker at Oct. 2 RLHS meeting Studio Tour unfolds Oct. 12 to 14 By YVONNE HELWIG

Community – A shoreline stewardship manager with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is the guest speaker at the Oct. 2 meeting of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society. Andrea Kymko’s presentation will cover the importance of natural shorelines and ways to protect water quality while limiting shoreline erosion. As well, she will discuss how to establish a shoreline buffer using native plants. Kymko has a Bachelor of Science from Trent University with a joint major in Biology and Environmental Science. She started with RVCA in 2006 as a conser-

vation lands technician, and soon moved into managing the lake planning program. In this capacity, she actively partners with local lake associations and other government agencies throughout eastern Ontario to develop community action plans on shoreline stewardship. Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society meetings are the first Wednesday of the month at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall (24 Water Street, Portland). Admission is free to society members ($15 annually for 9 meetings a year) and $5 a meeting for non-members. Refreshments and door prizes are provided following the guest speaker.

Tickets to the society’s annual Christmas dinner, open to anyone, will also be on sale at the Oct. 2 meeting. The dinner is Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 6 p.m. at the Westport Legion. The $25 ticket includes hors d’oeuvres, turkey dinner, dessert and beverages, as well as entertainment by the Celtic Combo.
