News - Following a lengthy debate at Lanark Highlands council on Oct. 22, council voted to defer the award of the French Line Bridge replacement engineering design to a higher bidder and to bring the issue back to committee-of-the-whole (COW) for further discussion on Nov. 12. At a COW meeting on Oct. 1, the committee voted to award the design tender to engineering firm, GD Jewell, despite their having a tender bid that was nearly double the lowest bidder, HP Engineering. Following the COW decision, HP Engineering representatives wrote a letter to council and appeared as a delegation at the Oct. 22 council meeting to clarify the details of their tender prior to council ratifying the COW decision. At the Oct. 1 COW meeting, township staff submitted a report recommending the engineering firm, GD Jewell, be awarded the tender in the amount of $82,495. The report stated GD Jewell was instrumental in Lanark Highlands receiving funding to complete the French Line Bridge replacement. Further, staff indicated that GD Jewell provided engineering services to the township for the last three bridge construction projects. The report states that while HP Engineering had the lowest tenPhoto by DESMOND DEVOY dered amount of $46,330 there were a number of factors which led staff to score them lower than GD Jewell in the selection process.

HP Engineering Principal Engineer representatives, Luc Monette and Jan Podolak, made a presentation to council objecting to the information contained in the report to committee, namely the lack of experience for their company and the scope of work submitted.

News – The following are the highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held Oct. 24 and the Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville on Oct. 23. Name change for land ambulance service The Joint Services Committee has authorized a name change of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division. Effective January 1, 2014 the service will be known as the Leeds Grenville Paramedic Service and this will reflect a service provided by paramedics, which is standard across the province and comes at a time when the two main representing bodies, the Paramedic Chiefs of Canada and Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs, have changed their names to reflect the current direction of the evolving profession. Financial implications of the name change are minimal, a report stated. Ambulance response time plan submitted The Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville has endorsed a Response Time Standard established by the Leeds Grenville Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for 2014. Municipalities are required to submit Response Time Plans to the Ministry of Health and Long-Time Care (MOHLTC) by October 31 of each year by establishing performance targets for cardiac arrest and Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS 1-5) responses. “We’re setting a response time standard to monitor how quickly we are getting to our critical and most serious patients,� said EMS Chief Chris Lloyd. “EMS is doing a good job in responding to calls, and on average, the overall response time in Leeds and Grenville to the highest priority calls (Code 4) is 9

minutes and 13 seconds.� Factors that impact response times of an ambulance in Leeds and Grenville are the location of the call in relation to the location of the ambulance, call volumes, the geographic location, and the number of inter-facility transfers. William (Bill) Thake Memorial Bursary announced Counties Council has announced a 10-year fund in memory of the late William (Bill) Thake, former mayor of Westport. Beginning in 2014, two awards of $1,000 each will be offered to one graduating student from each of Rideau District High and St. John Catholic High schools. Each student must be entering his/ her first year (enrolled full-time) at a Canadian university or community college. They must demonstrate a financial need, community and school involvement, along with strong leadership characteristics and integrity. The fund recognizes Mr. Thake’s more than 50 years of commitment to serving his community as an involved citizen, volunteer, business person, and politician. Mr. Thake owned and operated a family business in Westport since leaving high school. In 1961, he was first elected to Westport Council. He was elected Mayor in 1969 and held the post until his death earlier this year. As mayor, Mr. Thake represented the Village of Westport on the council for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and served as Warden four times. Mr. Thake was the longest-serving counties councillor in the history of Leeds Grenville, serving 44 consecutive years.

Legion launches 2013 Poppy campaign News – The annual national Legion Poppy Campaign started as Legion members headed out to their local designated areas to offer poppies to Canadians. This year, it is hoped that more than 18 million poppies will be proudly worn by Canadians between now and Nov. 11, 2013. “Every year, for two weeks, thousands of Legion members volunteer their time to offer poppies and raise millions that will be provided to Veterans and their families in need,� says Gordon Moore, dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion. “While I am proud to be a Veteran, I am also particularly proud to be a member of

the Legion during this period when millions of Canadians answer the call to help our Veterans through the Poppy Campaign.� If you would like to make a donation and receive a Poppy and there is no Poppy booth nearby, please contact your local Legion branch and they will be more than pleased to help out. You can find your local branch using the Branch Locator feature on the Legion website – www.legion.ca. Since 1921, the poppy has stood as the symbol of remembrance, a visual pledge to never forget those Canadians who have fallen in war and military support operations. R0011948341_TF

We also appreciate the support of all of our sponsors, including Lake 88 and the Royal Canadian Legion Branches in Almonte & Perth – they help to make this show possible, along with the assistance we receive from all of the local high schools and both school boards - the UCDSB and CDSBEO.

Community - The atmosphere was electric on Friday, Oct. 25 at the Finale of My Town’s Got Talent, held in the Cafetorium of Carleton place High School, and presented by Metroland Media (EMC), Town and Country Chrysler and the Almonte Valley Players. It was a tough choice, but the celebrity judges managed to select the Top 5 from among 15 outstanding youth performances, and then it was up to the audience to select the final winner, along with the best Hosts and the Best Logo Design. “The choices this year were really tough,� according to Johann Ramsaran, head judge, a local drama teacher and chair of the United Way Lanark County. “All of the performances were of such high quality. Choosing the top five was extremely difficult!� Ramsaran worked with fellow judges Catherine Clark, a noted local musical director, actor and musician, acclaimed director of drama and musical theatre, Michael Gareau, from Ottawa and Orpheus Little Theatre, along with Jordan McIntosh, past participant and rising Nashville singer. After tough discussions, they chose the final five – Clifford Glas from Smiths Falls, Emma and Sophie Hans from Almonte, the trio Murray’s House (Isaac Matthews-Hanna, Wednesday Parnell and Tyler), and Madelyn Fyfe from Perth, and Alex Vala from Carleton Place. While the judges were deliberating on the final five, the MTGT team was counting the audience votes for host, and the duo of Melody Patten and Maddy Martin from Carleton Place won the hearts of the audience. “It was great to have the new categories of host and design this year,� noted artistic director Chris Bindhardt “as it allowed other youth who were not performers to be involved in the show.� The winner in the design category for the new MTGT Logo for 2014 was Katey Best from Almonte. “We are also proud of our house band, another new feature this year, which featured past performers from previous shows, Tanner Flinn, Sara Milligan, and Liam Mansfield, under the direction of Harriet Lavoie.� After announcing the final five, it was time for

Lanark County Council Briefs

Cost savings through insurance changes Council passed two insurance-related motions that are expected to result in cost savings. The first involves switching from paying premiums to the Workplace Safety Insurance Board to becoming self-insured. Nexus Actuarial Consultants Ltd. recommended the move in order to achieve longterm cost savings, adding the increased risk of self-insurance can be mitigated by purchasing external insurance for excess loss and occupational accident insurance. Other mitigating factors include the county’s excellent health and safety program, having an occupational health and safety specialist position and the county’s good (preferred) accident experience rate compared to other upper-tier municipal employers in the same WSIB rate group. Savings are anticipated in about eight years after a sufficient WSIB claims reserve fund of $2.5 million is built and after an $800,000 exit fee is paid to WSIB. “In the long term, there will be significant savings that will directly impact the operating budget as the WSIB premiums savings can be used to mitigate other budgetary pressures,� said Jennie Bingley, deputy treasurer. Council also passed a motion to transfer its group insurance benefits coverage to new carriers. Mosey & Mosey Benefit Plan Consultants said group benefit premium costs are facing pressure due to more high-cost drugs entering the market, the aging population, retiring baby boomers and an increased incidence of chronic conditions. By switching carriers, the county will experience an overall savings of about $450,000 in the short term. “Group benefits represent a fundamental portion of our total compensation package for municipal employees,� explained Bingley. “As employers, it is imperative that we continue to seek methods that allow us to offer a competitive, sustainable benefits program with responsible costs.� Capital Investment Plan approved Council has approved the Capital Investment Plan, which is updated annually. It focuses on capital spending to ensure a level that enables asset replacement without dramatic changes in the levy. The county’s financial objectives over the next few years include managing debt, reducing the use of reserves to finance recurring capital projects, having only moderate levy increases, reducing the infrastructure deficit and increasing preventive maintenance.

Over the longer term, asset enhancement, moderate tax increases, building reserves and continuing to emphasize preventive maintenance are the financial objectives. “Financial health translates into economic development,� says chief administrative officer (CAO)/treasurer Kurt Greaves. “Moderate county tax rates and solid, well-maintained infrastructure are two important keys for future economic growth as the county moves forward.� The plan sees an increase of 1.5 per cent in the draft capital budget for 2014, and it proposes specific cost- saving upgrades at various county facilities to reduce operating costs. Preventive maintenance for assets is increasing by five per cent per year, with capital spending increasing by two per cent per year. In addition, as debt is paid off, payments will be transferred to capital reserves or spent on capital. Additional capital needs in the next 10 years include a new public works garage, redevelopment of Lanark Lodge, additional ambulances and several county road projects. Ontario Works Service Plan accepted Council has accepted the Ontario Works Service Plan for 2013-2014, which is required every two years. Ontario Works provides employment and financial assistance to people in need. The plan reviews the previous cycle and addresses local influences such as caseload, labour market, community engagement and service gaps, while setting targets and outcomes and ways to monitor progress. Several strategies are in place to support movement towards employment. Service gaps were identified, such as waiting lists for social housing and mental health support; a need for supports for overall health; a lack of physicians, overnight/after hours child-care services and transportation; and a need for job-search and job-finding clubs. The plan indicates meeting the Ministry of Community and Social Services requirements is challenging due to a large number of clients who have restrictions and barriers but still require supports, as well as a mismatch between available employment opportunities and skill levels of local Ontario Works participants. The plan also pointed to several successes, such as encouraging clients to continue their education (completing high school and entering post secondary) and establishing good working relationships with Employment Ontario and other employment agencies. CAO appointed as clerk Council passed a bylaw that sees the role of clerk added to CAO/treasurer Kurt Greaves’ position. The recent administrative review undertaken by the county to increase operational efficiencies and maximize financial resources affected the position of county clerk. Although existing positions are being expanded to share the statutory responsibilities of this position, the Municipal Act requires municipalities to appoint someone to the position. Duties include recording proceedings of council meetings and voting, and maintaining bylaws and minutes. Tribute to community leader At the opening of the council meeting, councillors and county staff paused to remember 2010 Lanark County Awards of Excellence winner Jackie Seaton, who passed away last week following a battle with multiple myeloma. Councillor Susan Freeman (Tay Valley deputy reeve) noted that although Jackie lived in Harper in Tay Valley, his contributions were far reaching. A talented potter and devoted volunteer, his Empty Bowls project helped to provide funds to feed the hungry in the community. “He was a truly generous man who was not unknown to the political arena as well,� she said, describing his efforts to see equal rights and openness of government. Even as he battled his illness, she said, “he raised money for other victims of this disease.�

News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Oct. 23 in Perth. Council passed a motion to have staff generate a report outlining options related to a possible 50 per cent reduction in county councillor positions. The report would include a cost analysis, timelines and comparisons to other counties. Councillor John Fenik (Perth mayor) moved the motion as a result of the recent administrative review at the county, indicating it is important for council to examine the governance structure as well and the potential for savings. Councillor wages would also be reviewed. Staff will determine whether such structural changes could be accommodated prior to the municipal election in 2014.

Community – Sunflowers aren’t just a cheery blossom but can also serve as inspiration for area artists to support their community. Recently, Kricklewood Farm in Frankville organized the inaugural Art of the Sunflower fundraiser Sept. 22 to 29, which has resulted in a $1,600 donation to The Table Community Food Centre in Perth. Owners Dale Horeczy and Brad Daily invited artists to their farm to capture the beauty of their field of sunflowers, from which they create sunflower oil. They could spend as much time as they wanted on the land, using cameras or paintbrushes to create an original piece artists would then donate to the Art of the Sunflower show and sale. The initiative was launched with an opening reception Sept. 22 at the Herb Garden in Almonte that featured a live auction of selected pieces. The rest of the artwork was then available to bidders during a week-long silent auction. Some of the artists featured included Suzette MacSkimming, Bill Davidson, Jacquie Christiani and Jan Gilbert. Horeczy was overwhelmed by the response to the fundraiser. “It was a great event for the community,� he remarked as he handed over the donation Oct. 24 at The Table to its executive director Nancy Wildgoose. “It was really awesome to have people come out and see the artists and their work.� According to Wildgoose, the funds will be used to support the purchase of food and delivery of programming at

the The Table. “We have 10 innovative programs helping to fight poverty and hunger right here in our community,â€? she explained. “We’re really glad to have the partnership with Dale and his business. We use his product (sunflower oil) and buy it for the cooking we do here.â€? The Table’s mission is to provide healthy and quality food to everyone in the community and focuses on aiding low-income individuals and families throughout the area. “We have community meals here and cooking classes for children from as young as eight through to seniors,â€? Wildgoose said. “We use local products, healthy products.â€? The organization initially began as a food bank, but has grown into a mechanism to “grow health and hope in the community,â€? Wildgoose noted. The Good Food Bank is still located onsite, but is organized in a grocery store type layout which is more pleasing for clients. “We’ve been operating in this model for about a year and a half and we’re already seeing significant results in the community,â€? she said, adding that of its clients in Perth and the surrounding area, The Table serves approximately 1,800 people. “We’re empowering people and trying to create a respectful and dignified environment where people are welcomed at the door and served at the table.â€? â€œâ€ŚWe feed them good, healthy whole foods and pass along the joy of cooking, joy of gardening and the joy of sharing food with other people,â€? Wildgoose continued.

CFUW Heritage Perth Buy holly for holidays, support Canadian Guide Dogs Christmas House Tour Community – The tradition continues with the eighth annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour on Dec. 7 and 8, organized by Canadian Federation University Women (CFUW) Perth and District. Again we open the doors to some of the town’s most unique homes between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on each day. The eight featured homes will provide you with a wealth of ideas for decorating your home and for planning renovations. Heritage homes will remind you of the past; more modern homes provide a view of the newest and the best features of current styles. All homes, beautifully “dressed” for the season by area decorators, florists and the home owners will inspire you with new ideas for your Christmas décor. On Sunday, Dec. 8, the CFUW gift marketplace at The Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn and Spa will feature products made by artists within CFUW, along with their friends and relatives. Choose from ceramics, artwork, Christmas decorations, jewelry and books offered by prominent local authors, all of whom will donate a portion of their sales to the tour. Enjoy complimentary refreshments while you shop. In addition, the hotel is offering special rates to tour

ticket-holders who would like to stay overnight. Many local restaurants and one of our local churches have agreed to offer an express lunch for ticket-holders at a modest charge. In addition, they will donate a portion of the proceeds to the tour in support of our goals. Tickets at $30, in the form of a brochure illustrating the homes and their history, are available Nov. 1 from: Home Furniture (18 Gore St. E., Perth), Elizabeth Interiors (8 Chamber St., Smiths Falls), Tivoli Florist in Ottawa (282 Richmond Road, Westboro or 18 Clarence St. in the Byward Market, Almonte at Crush Marketplace, (14 Mill St.), Kingston at Oderin Kitchen Supplies, (57 Brock St.) and Westport at Pinecone of Westport (23 Church St.).

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

There were benefits to the spring bear hunt DEAR EDITOR: The recent bear attack near Peterborough is an important reminder to people and provincial politicians in particular, (because bear management is provincial responsibility) of the benefits of a spring bear hunt. Ontario’s spring bear hunt was a successful wildlife population management tool to assist in maintaining the abundance and density of bears at levels that minimized dangerous encounters between people and bears. On average, about 4,000 bears were harvested annually in the spring bear hunt, and about 70 per cent of these were male bears. Used in combination with a fall bear hunt, this two-pronged bear management system reduced bear densities, particularly male bears, and assisted in the control of the size of the bear population. This reduced aggression and cannibalism by male bears on other bears, predation on other species, such as deer fawns and moose calves, and reduced bear problems with people including reducing the probability of dangerous encounters with bears. So, the spring bear hunt provided benefits to people and society, and minimized costs associated with problem bears. The spring bear hunt was an excellent proven example of sustainable development in practice, where the benefits from a renewable natural resource were being maximized and costs to people and society mini-

mized. With no spring bear hunt, there are now more problem bears in the spring, summer, and early fall because there are more bears in the population. There are more aggressive, cannibalistic males in the woods that cause other bears to avoid them and thus, for example, seek food in other areas near people such as towns and cities. Berry crop shortages or failures worsen these effects. Female bears with cubs searching for food sources in the woods, but needing to avoid cannibalistic male bears, are forced to find food from or near people. Other methods to try and address problems with bears have failed. For example, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), trapping relocation of problem bears has a failure rate of 80 per cent for adult bears of either sex. So, proper wildlife management requires a spring hunt as it relates to reducing harmful interactions with humans, supplying benefits to people and society, but also as it relates to maintaining bear populations at levels more consistent with long-term average food supplies for the bears themselves.

COMMENTARY Be safe this hunting season Editorial – Staying safe while hunting out in the wilderness has more to do than just donning that fluorescent orange coat or hat. We are right in the middle of hunting season and many area hunters are taking to the fields for the sport, but the Ontario Provincial Police are encouraging people to take certain precautions so the experience doesn’t end in tragedy. If duck hunting, make sure to take boating safety equipment, as well as extra survival gear in the event it’s required. All passengers on a boat must have life jackets and be sure to tell a loved one when you depart and your estimated time to return home. Those making early morning or evening excursions should also have proper navigation lights. Anglers travelling through the bush in off-road or allterrain vehicles (ATVs) should exercise caution as well. In addition to wearing the traditional hunter orange hue, no alcohol should be consumed if operating an ATV and check Ontario’s Off Road Vehicles Act and your local municipality’s ATV bylaw before hitting the trails. All vehicles must be properly insured and plated and documents must be carried on the driver. Guns must be unloaded at all times when people are on them and passengers are not permitted on ATVs when they are operated on public roadways. Steep fines for driving impaired are an added incentive to obey the law. For first time offenders, a three-day driver’s licence suspension will apply; however second offenders will receive a seven-day driver’s licence suspension and will be required to take a remedial alcohol treatment program. Those who are caught a third time will have that suspension extended to 30 days, must take the alcohol treatment program and have an ignition interlock mechanism attached to your vehicle for six months. By adhering to a few simple rules, this seasonal tradition can be a safe one.

Young Mary has a fascination with hands Lifestyle – Often, when I was sitting at the old pine table at night, with the coal oil lamp giving off faint shards of light, I examined the hands of those around me. For reasons I was never able to explain, I was deeply interested in other people’s hands. Even though the same blood ran through our veins, there weren’t two of us with the same hand shapes. I would look over at Father, slouched in the old rocking chair close to the Findlay Oval, and I could see his hands holding the Ottawa Farm Journal. They were small hands, I thought, for a man, but I knew them to be powerful. They were calloused and wore the look of hard labour, and they could tie up a pig or roll a heifer with ease. But when he ruffled my hair, as he often did when he passed me, his hands were gentle and loving. My sister Audrey had long tapering fingers, and I always thought her hands were narrow, and I would look at them and try to compare them with my own, which, even with a young eye, I could

see that mine were wider by far. How I would envy Audrey her pretty hands! I knew too, that the reason she was able to do such beautiful hand work, and embroider French knots and lazy daisies on our tea towels and pillow cases, was because she had the perfect hands for the job. Even the hands of my three brothers differed from each other. Earl, the smallest, had hands that suited his slight build. Everett, the oldest of the three, had hands that were already beginning to show he would be expected to carry his weight on the farm. He complained of callouses and often said his fingers hurt. There was little sympathy for Everett...he was needed on the farm, and the sooner he got used to hard work and the callouses the better off he would be, Father told him. Emerson, the biggest of the three, but the middle son, had big hands. They matched perfectly his big frame, and his almost six foot height by the time he was 12-years-old. But Mother always said Emerson had Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

the hands of an artist. How she could tell, I had no idea. But she believed one day Emerson would be a great artist, or a builder of fine buildings with those hands. And so she squirrelled change out of her egg money from the blue sugar bowl, and took advantage of Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store one cent sale, and bought him art paper, and soft leaded pencils, so sure was she that Emerson’s hands would one day make him famous. And I would look at Mother, sitting at the end of the table, with her diaries spread out around her, and with a bottle of real ink in front of her, and a pen... she always wrote in her diaries with ink, News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Jennifer Westendorp DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

never with pencil...and if would look at her hands and then at mine...and I would think that our hands, of all those in the family, were the most alike. Her two little fingers, like mine, had a slight bend in them. And I would watch her, face down over her diaries, and I would hope that one day, I too, could fill scribbler after scribbler with my thoughts and wishes, just like my mother. We children were never allowed to read her diaries (“diaries are private”) she would say, and we knew better than go near them...stacked in neat piles on one of the top-most shelves of the backto-the-wall cupboard. Sometimes, she would write so quickly, as her thoughts came, and for so long, that she would have to stop and rub her fingers to ease the stiffness. And that’s when I would notice how much our hands were alike, even though mine were smaller by far. My interest in hands came naturally, I decided many years later, because they played such an important part in our lives.

early age to offer a hand to anyone older than they were and whom they happened to meet on the streets of Renfrew. Off would come the caps, and the hand would be thrust out in greeting. My sister Audrey and I were excused from handshaking, which was a great relief to me. And at an early age, I noticed the difference between a greeting handshake, and one that was used to close a deal. In greeting, the hands were pumped. Up and down, up and down, like a pump handle. But if a deal was coming to a close, and a handshake was needed, the hands met in a clasp, and one handshake was all it took. One pump, and the deal was made. It didn’t take a lawyer to make a deal binding...just a simple handshake. It was impossible to live in that old log house in Northcote, and not be aware of hands. Clean hands! Mother was a sticker for clean hands.

DEAR EDITOR: It’s been a bad year for the Conservatives. Five members of the government’s caucus have left while under investigation or facing outright charges. These five have something else in common: they were all appointed or promoted by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. After eight long years in power, this record raises unsettling questions about the judgement of our Prime Minister. Let’s consider the facts. Mr. Harper rode into office promising an accountable and ethical government. Yet just last month he re-appointed MP Dean Del Mastro to a senior position as a Parliamentary Secretary, a mere week before he was charged with four violations under the Elections Act. Mr. Harper kept MP Peter Penashue in his cabinet while under investigation for similar elections violations before he was forced out. Mr. Harper appointed Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau to the Senate, all of whom are under investigation by the RCMP and were found to have claimed inappropriate expenses in the Deloitte audit. And this list just starts to scratch the surface. It’s clear that the Conservatives believe there is one set of rules for them, and one set of rules for everyone else. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Lifestyle – To me one of the joys of restaurant dining is being handed a menu and having the opportunity to scan the food choices available and make a decision to suit your taste and your appetite. In North America at least that’s pretty standard. Restaurants, including the fast food places that are so popular these days, all have menus. And most are pretty extensive. If it is fast food you’re after the available items are normally posted on boards behind the cash registers. If you’re really in a hurry the most popular items are highlighted on a sign in the drive-thru lane. Sitting down to eat in a restaurant here normally includes an ample opportunity to pore over the menu and determine which choice appeals to you on a given day. It becomes habitual actually. In this country we expect to be given a choice, along with enough time to make the “right decision.” We enjoy traveling and something that becomes obvious to you very quickly is that North America is often very different from the rest of the world. That’s a good thing by the way. Variety, after all, is the spice of life! Earlier this month we were in Europe where we spent two enjoyable weeks touring southern Germany and areas of northeast France. Included was two days in the Alsace. The world famous wine producing was once part of Germany but it was annexed to the French Republic immediately following World War I. On an overcast, but dry day our friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc took Kathleen and I to the French pottery villages which are an interesting attraction in a small area just west of the Rhine River. The Haguenau forest, surrounding villages such as Soufflenheim and Betschdorf (10 kilometres further north) is rich in a type of clay ideally suited for the manufacture of pottery. The art began in Soufflenheim two centuries before the birth of Christ. Today there are still more than two dozen artisans in the village. They produce a wide variety of products including utensils used in the cooking of Alsatian recipes. The region is famous for its food as well as its wonderful wines. We watched as workers (mainly women) hand painted pottery which is unique to the area. Kathy loved it! She bought three pieces and would have purchased more if it wasn’t for the difficulty involved in transporting fragile objects overseas. Our suitcases could only carry so much. On the way in to Soufflenheim, Frank had noticed a particular restaurant he thought would be worth a try. We backtracked a little and quickly located the place. The sign out front read “Restaurant Au Boeuf”. “So, a restaurant specializing in beef,” I said to myself.

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

Unique experience This restaurant experience was unlike any Kathy and I have ever experienced! Inside the décor was very plain. On entering we passed the kitchen from which emanated a delicious aroma. In the cozy dining room a small bar stood to the left. Opposite the bar were tables covered with simple cloths. They resembled benches more than tables. The waitress was clearly run off her feet. The restaurant was very busy at lunch hour. She did manage to greet us with a jaunty “bonjour” as we walked in however. In the Alsace, similar to other parts of Europe, eating establishments are only open for limited periods. In addition, just like in Newfoundland, restaurants close so employees can go home for lunch. An odd concept for most North Americans I know and not the most convenient on a given day either. But hey, tradition is tradition. And the French, in particular, are very traditional! Alsatians descend on their favourite restaurants to take advantage of the relatively brief opportunity to enjoy a hearty lunch. When the kitchen closes you are out of luck. And in small French villages fast food establishments are non-existent, something that adds to their charm in my opinion. The whole experience in this particular restaurant – and Frank assured us there are many businesses which operate the same way – was culture shock for Kathy and me. We quickly discovered there was no menu. The daily special, which in some cases is displayed on a sign board, is all there is. Frank chuckled when he told us we had two choices, “Take it or leave it!” Lunch in France is substantial and an experience to be savoured – well, as long as the kitchen is open that is. It was a week day and the menu was chicken noodle soup, followed by a beef dinner served family style. Included were generous portions of beef, potatoes and creamed carrots. The bonus was lots of thick, rich gravy. The waitress judges the portions by the number of people at the table. As we watched with interest she emerged from the kitchen carrying bowls loaded with all of the above, destined for a growing number of diners. At the table next to ours, but facing the bar instead of the kitchen, was an impressive looking chap who was clearly enjoying his meal. As I watched he drained his soup bowl and when the beef dinner appeared he tucked in with gusto. He washed

it all down with a large glass of rose wine. I whispered across the table to Wendy, “Don’t look now, but de Gaulle is sitting behind you.” In a dark room and in profile monsieur would be a dead ringer for the controversial French general and statesman. It was his nose that created the illusion. An impressive schnoz indeed! We had entered the restaurant with the intention of having a drink and a snack. The meal being dispensed around us was far more than we were prepared to entertain at lunch-time. When our turn came we ordered soupe au poulet and baguette, along with a glass of beer or wine. A strange combination I know. But hey, we were on holiday! The waitress looked a little miffed that we hadn’t gone with the full menu. With a shrug of her shoulders she hurried off to fill our orders.

Salty soup The beer and wine was well received (Frank, the driver, had coffee). So was the baguette. Nobody, but nobody bakes bread as well as the French! The soup was long on noodles and heavy on salt. I said I thought they must have dropped the whole shaker into the pot but didn’t have time to make a fresh batch. If I had eaten all of it I would have had a month’s worth of sodium. So I stuck with the beer (a wonderful French brew called Fischer) and baguette. Of course with maps, cameras and shopping bags in hand we were a curiosity in the small town restaurant. Speaking predominantly English meant most of the patrons immediately pegged us as “Américaines stupide” (stupid Americans). During our brief stay one lone chap stood silently at the bar sipping a glass of spirits. In a French au Boeuf if you’re just having a drink you stand so you won’t take up a place at a table. I noticed that he regarded us with what appeared to be mild contempt, even though I came in wearing a baseball cap with the word “Canada” emblazoned on the front. A bit of a melting pot, North America! I have to admit I enjoyed the experience far more than the lunch. But travel is just that, an experience. One that is not to be missed! On the way to the car Frank pointed to a sign board at the roadside. “Tomorrow’s menu,” he noted. Once again the key ingredient was beef. “Take it or leave it,” I replied.

Countdown to the Dominion Tankard Sports – The Dominion Tankard starts in 88 days, at the new Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre (Arena). The event takes place from Jan. 27 to Feb. 2. Are we ready? Not quite but all the sub committees are geared up and ready to go – from tickets to entertainment and beyond. The Swing N’ Sweep in Perth, held on Oct. 18, was sponsored by the Perth Golf and Perth Curling Clubs. It was a most successful day, and enjoyed by all. Almost $1,300 was raised for the Tankard. Teams (rinks) from Manotick, Perth and Smiths Falls participated. The bad weather held off until almost all of the golfers were off the course. It was a scramble format with scores ranging from 33 to 42. Harry Hale’s (Perth) rink and Jim Marshall (Smiths Falls) were tied at 33. The Marshall rink, which also included Richard Burroughs, Ron Brus and Tom Thompson, were declared the winners. In curling, the Hewson (Smiths Falls) rink and the Godwin (Perth) were tied with 27 points. The Godwin rink, by Harry’s extrapolation, were the winners. The dinner was terrific, speakers were great and a grand time was had by all. Thanks to Harry, Harry, Russ and Cheryl for your efforts and for the monies received by your Tankard Committee.

Proper measures to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning erly.� Carbon monoxide is a by-product of incomplete combustion of fuels such as natural gas, propane, heating oil, kerosene, coal, charcoal, gasoline or wood. This incomplete combustion can occur in any device that depends on burning for energy or heat, such as furnaces, room heaters, fireplaces, stoves or grills and any gas-powered vehicle or engine. Gas barbecues operated inside the camp, grills or kerosene heaters that are not properly vented, or chimneys or vents that are dirty or plugged may create unsafe levels of CO. When properly installed, maintained and vented, any CO produced by these devices will not stay inside. “We all look forward to the fall hunt,� said fire prevention inspector Brian McCuaig, a hunter himself. “Don’t have yours ruined by a preventable mishap. Ensure your CO alarms and smoke alarms are working properly, and maintain a safe camp. Safety shouldn’t be compromised just because you’re not at home.� With more than 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters, and 710 member clubs, the OFAH is the province’s largest nonprofit, fish and wildlife conservation-based organization, and the VOICE of anglers and hunters.

News – The fall hunting season is ramping up across the province, during which time, thousands of hunters are heading for the bush to spend time at their camps and cabins. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and Kawartha Lakes Fire and Rescue want to remind hunters and others enjoying their rural properties of some of the unforeseen dangers that can prove deadly. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless and toxic gas and is often referred to as the “silent killer.� When inhaled it inhibits the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen throughout the body. It can poison the body quickly in high concentrations, or slowly over long periods of time. Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, burning eyes, confusion, drowsiness or loss of consciousness. In severe cases, CO poisoning can cause brain damage and death. “Whether you’re catching up with family and friends or reminiscing about past hunts, the camp is a place to unwind and enjoy our hunting traditions,� said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo. “It is, however, easy to get distracted and put safety on the backburner. The OFAH strongly encourages hunt camp owners to thoroughly inspect all heating equipment and appliances on a regular basis to ensure they’re working prop-

rides on a 108-inch wheelbase. The first generation of Camaros and Firebirds came in two body styles: a 2-door hardtop and a 2-door convertible. The second generation models appeared in mid-1970 with lowslung European styling and one body style: the 2-door hardtop, of which Darren Pike’s ’77 is a beautiful example. A Chevrolet 350 V8 has powered his Firebird since 1984. That small-block Chev V8 can trace its origins back to 1955, when Chevrolet brought out a V8 engine with 265 cubic inches, its first V8 since 1918 (yes, Chevrolet had a V8 in 1917-18 but it was too far ahead of its time and was dropped). In 1957, the “265” that came out in ‘55 was punched out to 283 and cranked out horsepower as high as 283 if you had the Super Ram-Jet Fuel Injection engine.

Another boost came in 1962 when the small block V8 was boosted to 327 cubic inches. The next boost came in 1967 when the small-block Chevy was punched out to 350 cubic inches, an increase of 85 cubic inches from the engine introduced in 1955. The Chev 350 V8 has been a favourite engine for street rodders for the past 40-plus years. They are powerful yet compact, and can be made to fit into almost any engine compartment. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

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

Lifestyle – Darren Pike of Hamilton, Ontario, writes: “Good day, Bill, I’m sending pictures of my 1977 Pontiac Firebird that I have owned for 29 years. I bought it in 1984, when it was only seven years old, and put 2,000 miles on it before the motor blew. That’s what I get for buying a car ‘as is.’ “So I went out and bought another engine, a 350 Chevy V8 from my friend’s dad for 300 bucks and with only 49,000 miles on it. All’s well that ends well. I’ve had that motor in my car ever since. It’s been a very reliable car and now has 160,000 miles on it. Fresh paint and bodywork was done nine years ago. From that day on, it’s been my boy toy and never sees rain.” Ten years before Darren’s 1977 Firebird was built, General Motors was having a milestone year with the launch of the Chevrolet Camaro and, a few months later, the Pontiac Firebird. Both these new cars rode on a wheelbase of 108 inches, and with their sporty good looks and choice of engines were designed to compete head-on with the Ford Mustang. Darren’s ’77 Firebird also

Health - Canada’s lowrisk alcohol drinking guidelines (2012) were created to reduce your risk of causing injury or harm to yourself and others. These guidelines recommend safe, legal and low-risk alcohol drinking practices. While these guidelines support a healthier lifestyle, you should be aware that drinking alcohol has many harmful effects on health.

Pre-movie trailer best part of this film experience MOVIE: The Counselor STARRING: Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt, and Cameron Diaz DIRECTOR: Ridley Scott RATING: 14A Arts – Before The Counselor there was a really good trailer for The Monuments Men. I mention this because the trailer for The Monuments Men was the best part of The Counselor. I've seen a lot of films that start in the middle of the story. It's a good technique for grabbing an audience's attention, and drawing them into the film. Of course at some point an effort is made to explain what's going on, and who the characters are. That never happens in The Counselor. In this incoherent mess I managed to piece together a few things. The Counselor (Michael Fassbender), whose real name we never learn, is a lawyer who decides to do a one-time drug deal.

My Take MARK HASKINS

He's working with Reiner (Javier Bardem) a shady night club owner, and Westray (Brad Pitt) the middle man who set things up between the Counselor and the Mexican Cartel. The Counselor's fiancée, Lara (Penelope Cruz), has a role to play, though it's never clear if she has any idea what's going on. There's also Malkina (Cameron Diaz) who is Reiner's sociopathic girlfriend, and who definitely knows what's going on. Other than greed I couldn't tell you why the Counselor would want to do business with a Mexican drug cartel, but needless to say things go wrong and horrible things happen to everyone

involved except the sociopath. The Counselor is working hard to be a slick and sexy film about flawed people making big mistakes. It's trying to walk that line between art and entertainment to create a stylistic film that comments on greed, death, and the choices people make, but in the end it doesn't work. It's a film that's trying too hard, and it's obvious that it's trying too hard. It has all the subtlety of a well-aimed brick, and about as much depth as a shallow puddle. The whole film is a series of intense conversations, with interesting dialogue that is all completely meaningless. There is a

lot of drivel about the nature of reality and how Diaz's character is like a cheetah. There's also something about the nature and beauty of killers, but it all soundes like a weak justification for what is a essentially an awful horror film. I'm always a little surprised when good actors make bad films, but I suppose it serves as a reminder that these people we tend to put on pedestals are only human, and capable of making mistakes. I wasn't particularly impressed by anyone's performance. I thought Fassbender was flat and he and Cruz were awkward together. Bardem was more like a cartoon character than a real person, and I have no idea what Pitt was doing. Diaz does play a rather convincing sociopath, but I'm not sure that's a good thing. I'm looking forward to seeing The Monuments Men, but I didn't need to pay $12 to see the trailer. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Meeting early hero Gordie Tapp brings memories flooding back Lifestyle – I know I’m showing my age but I recently saw one of my early heroes perform again; one that, back then, was more a “hero� out of youthful awe than anything. Allow me to explain. Television first entered my home in 1958. It was the new technological marvel of the day. In glowing black and white I was able to see Hockey Night In Canada, cartoons, Howdy Doody, Ed Sullivan and of course, Canada’s own Country Hoedown all from inside “the box� which sat in the corner of the living room. It was truly extraordinary for everyone but to this six-year-old tyke, back then, it was beyond description. It was mystical. Flash ahead a couple of years. My mother’s roots are a farm outside Wiarton, ON and while up there on vacation, through relatives, dad found out where Country Hoedown’s emcee, Gordie Tapp had a cottage so we went for a “visit�. It was before any seatbelt laws as I can still remember standing on the back seat with my brother and sister, leaning forward on the back of the front seat, in complete amazement as I met, for the first time, someone from “in the box�. Magically transformed into this rather normal sized man, complete with his beautiful moustache standing by our car, a smiling Gordie Tapp began chatting with my folks through the side window. My first TV celeb and I was in awe. My dad remembers clearly there being a pink Cadillac in the driveway, which Gordie confirmed as pink and tan

and bought from a local Wiarton dealer. Through my younger years I saw him perform a couple of times at the Wiarton Arena during the summer months and attended a taping of Country Hoedown once, always with that first connection returning. In researching, I found out Mr. Tapp was a graduate of the Lorne Greene (best known as Ben (Pa) Cartwright on TV’s Bonanza) Academy of Radio Arts. Gordie went on to host Main Street Jamboree on a Hamilton radio station, later moving to host CBC TV’s Country Hoedown from 1956 to 1965. Memorable for me from that show were Al Cherny on fiddle, Tommy Hunter, who later went on to host his own CBC show. I found out later, Gordon Lightfoot had been one of the square dance troupes on the show. Many of a younger era will best remember Gordie when he was a performer/writer for the CBS country variety show Hee Haw, which originally ran from 1969 to 1971, followed by 20 years of syndication. Hee Haw was inspired by Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In but was designed to be less topical and

focused on southern country music and humour. Tapp was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 1990, was presented the Order of Canada in 1998 for his charitable work over the years and in 1999 he received the Order of Ontario. Lanark’s own wonderful Arlene Quinn with amazing picker Rodger Coulombe were honoured to open the show for Gordie and thrilled the house. Nashville recording star Debbie Bayshaw thrilled the audience with her rendition of the Minnie Pearl character, complete with the legendary opening “HowwwDeeee�. Through researching I learned the Cousin Minnie Pearl character was actually the original creation of Sarah Colley-Cannon who started in theatre where she produced and directed plays and musicals in small, southern US communities. While touring she met a mountain woman who inspired the Cousin Minnie Pearl character with her way of speaking and style. In 1940 she was invited onto WSM-Nashville’s radio station show, Grand Ole Opry, appearing for more than 50 years as part of that show. Debbie certainly did a wonderful job of recreating the role, both musically and comically. She later performed many songs of her own. Gordie Tapp is now 91 years young and he’ll be the first to admit he’s slowed down physically. It seemed only natural for Gordie to start his act by singing the Cindy Williams/Bob Wills classic tune ‘Don’t Be Ashamed of Your Age’.

THE EMC - 26 - Thursday, October 31, 2013

This upbeat tune with lyrics “Don’t be ashamed of your age, don’t let the years get you down ...� epitomized his upbeat view of life and all it has to offer. He recognized how lucky he’d been with his work and all the other stars he’d gotten to know. I felt I was experiencing what vaudeville might have been like as he rattled off jokes and stories of his life. I can’t remember what I did yesterday and here he is rhyming off these longer jokes, complete with appropriate dialect. It was by listening to him do what he’s done all his life that I realized, yet again, I was witnessing what is becoming a lost art...storytelling. Where people used to learn and verbalize jokes and stories, computers have changed us so we now just push ‘forward’ rather than learn and recite. In speaking to backstage folk I found out Gordie actually had to be led around physically backstage and in fact, onto the stage, the microphone placed in his hand, but, suddenly in the lights, it was as if a hidden switch was turned on and he started into his routine like he’s done thousands of times everywhere, before. When done, he shuffled off stage to meet and chat with the audience, sell and sign his CDs and DVDs. The true country gentleman, he posed for pictures and was in no hurry to get away. I spoke with him after and asked him about Stompin’ Tom. He claimed he emceed a Canadian-themed concert in Nashville, possibly at the Opry and had Stompin’ Tom appear. Tom apparently came out with his board and began singing and stompin’ in his usual way and,

much to Gordie’s surprise, the audience booed him. Gordie said he didn’t know where to look, he was so embarrassed for Tom. He doesn’t to this day know why but that’s what apparently happened. Who knows? I thoroughly enjoyed the reconnection with my early hero; being able to witness an era probably gone by, but, as proven by the audience’s positive response, one fondly remembered and enjoyed. It was nice to see Burlington, ON, where Gordie lives has honoured him by naming one of their streets Gordie Tapp Crescent after this Canadian icon. Following the show we headed over to the Golden Arrow and were lucky to catch keyboard player extraordinaire Peter Brown and Johnny Richard on fiddle performing. Many people are unaware of the pedigree of these two. Peter toured across Canada with Mick Taylor (previously of the Rolling Stones) and has been a member of Mumbo Jumbo Voodoo Combo for many years, besides being the musical force behind the Mississippi Mudds theatre group. Johnny toured as a youngster of 11 or so with Canadian guitar guru, Lenny Breau’s parents’, Lonesome Pine & Betty Cody’s band, along with a then very young Lenny, when they all lived in the east coast. What a lovely sound this duo created, playing lots of covers and a few of their own. So much music, so little time. Peter hosts a jazz night here the first Saturday of each month with different guests. It was a memorable evening for all. Support live music everywhere.

Alsatian restaurant experience was intriguing one Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

began in Soufflenheim two centuries before the birth of Christ. Today there are still more than two dozen artisans in the village. They produce a wide variety of products including utensils used in the cooking of Alsatian recipes. The region is famous for its food as well as its wonderful wines. We visited several studios in the morning and marveled at the skill of the craftspeople. We watched as workers (mainly women) hand painted pottery which is unique to the area. Kathy loved it! She bought three pieces and would have purchased more if it wasn’t for the difficulty involved in transporting fragile objects overseas. Our suitcases could only carry so much. We started the day early and not long after midday we were ready for a lunch break. On the way in to Soufflenheim, Frank had noticed a particular restaurant he thought would be worth a try. We backtracked a little and quickly located the place. The sign out front read “Restaurant Au Boeuf”. “So, a restaurant specializing in beef,” I said to myself. Unique experience This restaurant experience was unlike any Kathy and I have ever experienced! Inside the décor was very plain. On entering we passed the kitchen from which emanated a delicious aroma. In the cozy dining room a small bar stood to the left. Opposite the bar were tables covered with simple cloths. They resembled benches more than tables. The waitress was clearly run off her

feet. The restaurant was very busy at lunch hour. She did manage to greet us with a jaunty “bonjour” as we walked in however. In the Alsace, similar to other parts of Europe, eating establishments are only open for limited periods. In addition, just like in Newfoundland, restaurants close so employees can go home for lunch. An odd concept for most North Americans I know and not the most convenient on a given day either. But hey, tradition is tradition. And the French, in particular, are very traditional! Alsatians descend on their favourite restaurants to take advantage of the relatively brief opportunity to enjoy a hearty lunch. When the kitchen closes you are out of luck. And in small French villages fast food establishments are non-existent, something that adds to their charm in my opinion. The whole experience in this particular restaurant – and Frank assured us there are many businesses which operate the same way – was culture shock for Kathy and me. We quickly discovered there was no menu. The daily special, which in some cases is displayed on a sign board, is all there is. Frank chuckled when he told us we had two choices, “Take it or leave it!” Lunch in France is substantial and an experience to be savoured – well, as long as the kitchen is open that is. It was a week day and the menu was chicken noodle soup, followed by a beef dinner served family style. Included were generous portions of beef, potatoes and creamed carrots. The bonus was lots of thick, rich gravy. The waitress judges the portions by the number of people at the table. As we watched with interest she emerged from the kitchen carrying bowls loaded with all of the above, destined for a growing number of diners. At the table next to ours, but facing the bar instead of the kitchen, was an

impressive looking chap who was clearly enjoying his meal. As I watched he drained his soup bowl and when the beef dinner appeared he tucked in with gusto. He washed it all down with a large glass of rose wine. I whispered across the table to Wendy, “Don’t look now, but de Gaulle is sitting behind you.” In a dark room and in profile monsieur would be a dead ringer for the controversial French general and statesman. It was his nose that created the illusion. An impressive schnoz indeed!

Tired of sitting at home looking out the window? Read Regional Roundup and EMC ads every week for ideas.

We had entered the restaurant with the intention of having a drink and a snack. The meal being dispensed around us was far more than we were prepared to entertain at lunch-time. When our turn came we ordered soupe au poulet and baguette, along with a glass of beer or wine. A strange combination I know. But hey, we were on holiday! The waitress looked a little miffed that we hadn’t gone with the full menu. With a shrug of her shoulders she hurried off to fill our orders. R0012172507_TF

Opinion – To me one of the joys of restaurant dining is being handed a menu and having the opportunity to scan the food choices available and make a decision to suit your taste and your appetite. In North America at least that’s pretty standard. Restaurants, including the fast food places that are so popular these days, all have menus. And most are pretty extensive. If it is fast food you’re after the available items are normally posted on boards behind the cash registers. If you’re really in a hurry the most popular items are highlighted on a sign in the drive-thru lane. Sitting down to eat in a restaurant here normally includes an ample opportunity to pore over the menu and determine which choice appeals to you on a given day. It becomes habitual actually. In this country we expect to be given a choice, along with enough time to make the “right decision.” We enjoy traveling and something that becomes obvious to you very quickly is that North America is often very different from the rest of the world. That’s a good thing by the way. Variety, after all, is the spice of life! Earlier this month we were in Europe where we spent two enjoyable weeks touring southern Germany and areas of northeast France. Included was two days in the Alsace. The world famous wine producing was once part of Germany but it was annexed to the French Republic immediately following World War I. On an overcast, but dry day our friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc took Kathleen and I to the French pottery villages which are an interesting attraction in a small area just west of the Rhine River. The Haguenau forest, surrounding villages such as Soufflenheim and Betschdorf (10 kilometres further north) is rich in a type of clay ideally suited for the manufacture of pottery. The art

News from Royal Canadian Legion Zone G6 – Ontario Provincial Command Editor’s note: The following is a special feature highlighting news from local Legion branches throughout Zone G6. Branch 95, Smiths Falls Branch 95 has been very busy over the summer. We have had numerous rentals for events taking place at the branch. Our Veterans Service Officer Jim Jenkins and our Branch Service Officer Jim Pevere had Pat Royle, the Provincial Service Officer, visit in June where they met with 24 veterans. They have been very busy since, following up with veterans and widows and helping them with paperwork. The community seems to be aware that Service Officers are available to help veterans, and they are getting many requests for information daily. We are now coming into our busiest time of the year and have many of our members volunteering to assist with the District Convention being held at our branch for the first time. The Poppy Campaign is well underway; getting support from retailers; orders are coming in, and meetings with the Volunteer Organizing Committee are ongoing. We hosted a dinner for new residents to the Town of Smiths Falls at the request of Welcome Wagon and LIP organizations. This dinner allowed new residents of the town to not only see our building, but to find out what the Legion has to offer. We participated in Volunteer Day at the local arena in early October to try and attract potential new members. Manning the tables were the President, Membership Committee, and the Veterans Service Officers. Our Ladies Auxiliary has been kept busy with the many luncheons referred from our local funeral homes, as well as dealing with clients for the Christ-

As part of the renovation of the Almonte Cenotaph, a joint project with the Town of Mississippi Mills, the names of Gunner John Lawrence Cleary and Private Arthur Edward George Stratford will be added. John L. Cleary, a farmer’s son, was born in Appleton in 1897. He attended Appleton Public School, St. Patrick’s High School, Ottawa and Ottawa University. In August 1916, he enlisted in the 72nd Queen’s University Battery, Canadian Field Artillery. In England, he transferred to the 1st Canadian Heavy Battery, shipping out to France in March 1917. He served at Vimy Ridge, Lens, Passchendaele and again at Lens. On May 26, 1918, he was severely gassed and hospitalised. An air raid on the hospital on May 30 left him severely burned and he was evacuated to England, where he died on Jun. 9, 1918. Unusually, his body was repatriated to Canada and is buried in the Catholic Cemetery in Corkery. He THE EMC - 28 - Thursday, October 31, 2013

Born in England in 1891, Arthur E.G. Stratford enlisted with the 130th Lanark & Renfrew Battalion in Almonte on Jan. 4, 1916. In England, he transferred to the 12th, and then the 75th Battalion, arriving in France on Dec. 9, 1916. His Battalion was in action, Mar. 1, 1917 in the Zouave Valley near Vimy Ridge, suffering 68 dead, 112 wounded and 31 missing, among them Private Stratford. He was 25-years-old, and was officially reported as being killed in action on Mar. 8, 1917. Part of the Legion’s mandate is to maintain the sacred trust of Remembrance – whether the death took place a year ago, or almost 100 years ago. Branch 244 Perth Like many other Legion branches in Zone G6, Branch 244 Perth was in full support mode for Medric “Cous” Cousineau’s epic walk between Eastern Passage, NS, and Ottawa. The event came to Perth Monday morning, Sept. 16, when Cousineau and his service dog Thai stood at the GWM Hospital Cenotaph to start day 47 of his journey, an undertaking that began on Aug. 1 to raise awareness, and as a fundraiser, for 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, and he managed to rescue the two American men despite being injured during the attempt. He was lat-

er awarded the Star of Courage by then Governor General Jeanne Sauvé. After suffering from PTSD following the incident, Cousineau was eventually forced to leave the military. “Paws Fur Thought” was an idea born in 2012, after Cousineau and his service dog 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. 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, the Old Burying Ground, and the residence of local author and historian Irene Spence, which had been the home of War of 1812 veteran Col. Alexander Fraser for many years until his death in 1872. A reception and meal was held in the Members’ Lounge of the Perth Legion at 5:30 p.m., attended by many local veterans and dignitaries, including Mayor John Fenik, and the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets of RCSCC Lanark 211, Carleton Place performed a Sunset Ceremony. The “Long Walk to Sanity” ended on Thursday, Sept. 19, at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. The distance covered was approximately 1,065 kilometers. See LEGION page 29

Branch 395 Lanark On Saturday Aug. 20, 2011, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 395 Lanark, held an appreciation event for veterans of the Afghanistan mission. The event was to remember those Veterans who have fallen, thank those who have returned home, and to celebrate how proud the Veterans and their families have made us to be Canadian. The celebration began with a wreath laying ceremony, followed by a special presentation to the Afghanistan veterans and a barbecue. The Veterans honoured are as follows: Chief Warrant Officer Ernie Hall, Sergeant Arthur Booker, and Master Warrant Officer Kevin Donnelly. Those veterans all have ties to the Lanark Highlands area. Dignitaries in attendance were: Randy Hillier, Progressive Conservative MP for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington; Peter McLaren, Mayor of

The Ladies Auxiliary sports program is underway and branch members in good standing are looking forward to their first tournament. Our shuffleboard game is back, thanks to Lanark Branch, and additional games are available. We have made many improvements to the building including a new deck beside the horseshoe pits built with volunteer labor and donations. Our Ladies Auxiliary is taking on more catering and does their share of TGIF dinners. They also host the annual Halloween party and Robbie Burns night. The membership is now gearing up for the upcoming poppy campaign and Remembrance Day service. Volunteers will be at the tables at the Metro store and Sobeys for the duration of the campaign. This year we have a special Dr. John Fowler, local historian and author Irene Spence, and 2nd Vice- event in the works called “Singing for President John Gemmell at grave of Col.

MVFN channels Gaia, goddess of Earth during recent presentation Community – On Sept. 19, members of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) enjoyed a most memorable presentation ‘From our Backyards to the Boreal and Beyond,’ by executive director of Ontario Nature, Caroline Schultz, as a start to MVFN’s series Knowing and Caring Connects us with Nature. Ontario Nature is a large umbrella organization that identifies and protects wild species and spaces through conservation, education, research, and public engagement. This includes seeking funds and donations, enlisting volunteers, and taking action through: publications, public meetings, hard work, co-operating (when possible) with government and industry, lobbying governments, and taking court actions when wrong is done. The magazine, Ontario Nature, is its flagship publication. It is a charitable organization representing more than 30,000 members and supporters and 140 member groups (such as the MVFN) across Ontario. Moreover, the umbrella shares space with some 23 or more allied organizations. Staff in the divisions of directors, conservation and science, membership and development, and communications are all excellent in what they do and most have university degrees. Caroline Schultz comes from Arnprior in the Ottawa Valley and was welcomed back by many younger members of the club. Schultz developed a deep love of nature along the seashores of County Cork and County Dublin in Ireland where she spent much of her childhood. She later returned to Canada to stay, earning a graduate degree in Ecology from the University of Toronto and a Masters of Management specializing in voluntary sector leadership. Employment in a number of resource firms and environmental organizations including Bird Life International helped relate learning to reality; a useful skill in her present mandate. Young, enthusiastic, personable, and an excellent speaker she and Ontario Nature offer much good knowledge and hope and deserve attention and support. If Schultz is not Gaia, perhaps we can call her Mother Nature for that is what the evening was about. She gave an impressive overview of the many and complex aspects of nature that I can present only briefly here. Nature supports all life and our welfare depends upon its supply. For example, our boreal forests are part of the lungs of the world where oxygen is released and carbon dioxide retained to give the air we breathe. Our notions of beauty and truth stem from nature, and our health depends upon it. Surely we should learn about, from, and care for nature. We are rich in nature in Ontario compared to Canada and the world. As examples, Ontario contains much of the fresh water and most of the boreal forest of the world. Virtually all areas are watered and produce: tundra, conifer and broad-leafed forest, wetland, and treed savannah. Each supports a large biodiversity of plants and animals although all are impacted by man.

Ontario Nature (ON) has worked to identify and inventory all species of wild life and their habitats, recognize special features, and flag those in decline and danger of extinction. A huge task! Examples are the second Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, and reaching 177,000 records for an Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas. Recognizing that plants and animals, as ourselves, need an adequate home or habitat to survive, ON has worked continuously to provide an enlarge nature reserves especially for special places and sensitive species. They give needed protection, space, resources, and connectivity. By 2005, ON had worked with others to obtain and protect 2.4 million hectares in 378 new parks, helped block development on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and in the establishment of Ontario’s 720,000 hectare Greenbelt.

The magazine, Ontario Nature, is its flagship publication. It is a charitable organization representing more than 30,000 members and supporters and 140 member groups (such as the MVFN) across Ontario. All are high achievements of ongoing work to establish ecological connectivity across Ontario and north and south through the Algonquin to Adirondacks Corridor. A major accomplishment in 2007 was the passage of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) declared the best in the world. The act was to identify endangered species and within a restricted period of time implement management plans to sustain them. More good work was done in education, especially of young. Ontario Nature is also “standing up for migratory birds” which Schultz explained are being killed in mass numbers when they crash into tall buildings in Toronto, especially those with reflective glass walls. With Ecojustice, they have taken landlords to court to force them to take mitigating measures, which can reduce mortality by 80 per cent. While Gaia may be pleased with what has been done there is much that should concern all about the state of Mother Nature. First is climate change. Much of Ontario could become dry grassland and desert. An older threat is the explosive growth of human populations. Most destructive impacts on nature are caused by us through loss of habitat, consumption, wastes, pollution and pesticides. Our ecological footprint shows what we take from nature and return as wastes for our rich lifestyle. Ontario has the fourth largest ecological footprint in the world, with Canada as a whole being eight. India has a footprint nine per cent that of Canada! To support our way of life to all people would take four planet earths and increasing demand! Our impact on nature shows in many ways especially in the decline in abun-

dance and extinction of plants and animals. Since the age of dinosaurs never has the rate of extinction been so high – about 1,000 times or more the natural rate! There are 200 species of plants and animals classified as endangered in Ontario. One is the magnificent Woodland Caribou of the Boreal Forest displaced by logging. Another the American Eel, once throughout southern Ontario, now runs are reduced almost 100 per cent by dams. Cleary our nature is diminished and the Endangered Species Act offered hope of recovery. But, unexpectedly, our Liberal government, in an omnibus bill has proposed sweeping changes in the act that will reduce and weaken its power to save species. Landowners will be exempt and exemptions more freely given. For example, forest operations may avoid environmental constraints for five years. According to Schultz “our environmental protections have been gutted and will hurt Ontario’s most vulnerable species and precious habitats – the wild species you love and wild spaces where you find peace.” Gordon Miller, our provincial environmental commissioner has echoed Schultz’s outrage on CBC radio and in the Ottawa Citizen. He notes Crown lands may go to private organizations! Remedial plans for the endangered Snapping Turtle have not left the shelf, while it is hunted with a limit of two per day. Ontario Nature, along with two other groups is now taking the government to court for “gutting the Endangered Species Act.” As concerned citizens and naturalists we must act in all ways possible to correct the wrongs of the government. Shultz told the MVFN audience “nature needs clubs like yours and your local action. We value when the grass roots get involved in big issues because then clubs can use them to fight local battles. We need you to be part of the collective voice.” Write to the Premier and the Minister of Natural Resources. Support Schultz and Ontario Nature: 214 King Street West, Suite 612, Toronto, ON, M5H 3S6, phone 1-800-440-2366, info@ontarionature.org. Schultz changed the focus of her talk from aspects in general to what you and I can do to enjoy and work for nature. Get Ontario Nature, the magazine for nature. The publication provides spectacular photography and outstanding writing. It covers all aspects of nature with articles by experts, and snapshots of important events such as the recent decline of pollinators including honey and native bees. Many pages discuss how to lessen our ecological footprint and enjoy a fuller, healthier life. One example is to plant a natural garden and landscape to enhance biodiversity. Repeated studies show the shocking numbers of birds killed by free ranging house cats that should be kept indoors. Above all, join the MVFN or a similar group for more speakers like our Mother Nature, fun, friendship and many other good reasons.

Flu season is fast approaching, get your shot Lifestyle – Influenza is a preventable illness that can be very dangerous to some individuals. Because influenza is extremely contagious and is capable of spreading rapidly from person to person, it is important for individuals to follow these steps to protect themselves as well as others in the community: Get a flu shot, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, keep frequently touched hard surfaces clean and disinfected, cover your cough, and stay home when you are sick. Flu vaccine provides adults and children with active immunity against the influenza virus. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit recommends annual immunization against influenza for any persons over six months of age. There is a new flu vaccine produced each year to protect against the three strains of influenza most commonly circulating during the flu season. Pregnant women are recommended to receive the influ-

enza vaccine. Children who are over the age of six months and under the age of nine and are getting the flu shot for the first time should get a second dose one month later. There are some people for whom the flu shot is not recommended, please check with the health unit for more information on this. Vulnerable populations in the community include very young children, pregnant women, people over 65, and adults and children with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, respiratory, cardiac, kidney disease or cancer. These individuals are at greater risks for serious complications from the flu. The flu shot is the safest way to protect yourself and your family and friends from the influenza virus. The vaccine protects about 70 per cent of people who get a flu shot. However, the protection rate in seniors is less, as their immune systems are

weaker. You may still get the flu even though you received your flu shot but being vaccinated will help to reduce the severity of your symptoms. You cannot get the flu from receiving a flu shot. The flu vaccine does not contain live virus and thus is incapable of giving you the flu. Most people have no reaction to having a flu vaccine while some report having tenderness at the injection site for a few days. After receiving a flu shot some people may experience a mild fever, feeling tired, or having muscle aches and this is considered a normal reaction to having a vaccination. It is not the flu.

are 15 community clinics being held this year from Oct. 28 to Dec. 17. Most area communities will have one flu clinic with three communities having two clinics. For more information about the flu and for a listing of free flu shot community clinics, contact the health unit at 1-800-660-5853 or 613-345-5685 or visit our website at www.healthunit.org. If it is not convenient for you to get your flu shot from your health care provider or the health unit clinics, call your local pharmacy for times and date they are providing vaccinations.

Community celebrates life of food advocate with memorial tribute By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – Jackie Seaton left his mark on this community and many lives he touched along the way during his 68 years of life. He died Oct. 17 after a two-year battle with multiple myeloma. Family and friends are invited to the “Gathering to Remember Jackie” Sunday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m. at Code’s Mill, 17 Wilson St., Perth. Born March 8, 1945, he was husband of Joni Seligman and father of three: Ami, Aden and Gita, as well as grandfather of two, Ivan and Noam. Daughter Aden remembers her father as one who was always present in their lives. “He had so many different parts of his life. My dad was very focused and at the same time, he was able to do a lot of things at once. He was so engrained in the community; even though he wasn’t born (in Perth) it quickly became his home when they moved there in 1980. Every year, (Perth) became more and more a part of them.” Even when Seaton was involved in things that were controversial, those who disagreed with him still stopped and listened, and considered… they respected him, Aden said. “I have lots of early memories working up in the studio, working with clay. He was keeping me busy… he involved us in a lot of the things he and Mom were doing.” When asked if she had a love of making pottery, she replied: “I certainly love his pottery and I use it every day.” She confessed that she did take her dad’s artistry for granted. “It (the pottery) was there… it wasn’t something I saw as particularly unique as it was always present, but I certainly appreciated the beauty of it. It surrounded us growing up.”

And still does today, she said. Over the last month of Seaton’s illness, he couldn’t produce any more pieces, but Aden says there are pieces at her parents’ home that still need to be fired. “He decided a couple months ago that he was going to have to step back from the Riverguild and give up being a member… his plan was to recover and make pottery for his friends and family, but unfortunately, that didn’t happen.” At the Riverguild – a co-op craft store – on Gore Street, the only pieces of Seaton’s pottery that remain there, are those that pay homage to the man and they are on display in the window. Joe Hansgen met Seaton about 30 years ago through the Riverguild. “Our friendship grew over the years,” Hansgen said. They were involved in projects, including Empty Bowls. “That’s such a worthwhile project. We don’t want to let it slip away.” When asked what he will remember most about Seaton, Hansgen said: “His clear moral vision. Not only did he think about that, but he did it. He didn’t just talk the talk, he walked the walk. That’s very admirable in my opinion.” Over his career, Seaton mentored a lot of people, including Rita Redner. “I regret that I wasn’t able to say goodbye to him in person and thank him, because he is the reason why I am where I am. It was because of Jackie. I’d known him years before and had gotten away from doing clay and was looking for an opportunity to get my hands in there again,” Redner said. “I contacted Jackie and he said, come here. That was in ’85/’86 and I worked with him for about a year and a half before I established my

He certainly has deep shoes to fill, if that is at all possible.” As for Empty Bowls Project, Redner said Perth and area pot-

He created relationships with businesses as well… like with Scotiabank. I was so impressed with his ability to create and maintain so many important relationships. He was very, very good to Food For Thought, YAK and The Table.” Wildgoose said they relied on Seaton as a major donor. “He made a big difference to us putting food on the table.” Wildgoose said what touched her most was Seaton’s speaking out about poverty and hunger. “He didn’t just run Empty Bowls, he made people sure See SEATON page P2

Nancy Wildgoose is the executive director at The Table. “He was one of my heroes… and a friend,” she said. “He was a force in the community. He built relationships, seemingly effortlessly, with everyone. Everyone, it turns out, knew Jackie. He developed wonderful relationships with the three food organizations that he supported with Empty Bowls. He served on boards and was always a voice of wisdom.

There is a commitment from the potters to fill the orders for bowls, to be sold in the spring at the Festival of the Maples. “We hope to continue it; it’s a huge commitment,” Redner said. “You can be assured that the reason it was so successful is because Jackie was such a skilled promoter. He left us with a very detailed template, which I’m very grateful for.” More than $10,000 is raised from this project on an annual basis, and since its inception, more than $100,000 has been

And I know that’s a story that’s repeated all over Perth this week as people will have some wonderful memories.” Lanark County schools Food For Thought program coordinator, Sharon Bjergso said Seaton has been instrumental in getting healthy snacks in the schools for children in all 34 schools in the county. “He had a real knack for raising awareness for hunger – especially in children – and you can’t put a price on that,” Bjergso said. “He was such a genuine person and grateful to those who purchased bowls for the project. He is a shining example of how one person can make a huge difference… definitely is one of our champions.” Tim Wynne-Jones, a local author, will not be in attendance this weekend, but he was in the process of preparing a bit of an essay about his friend of some 25 years, whom Wynne-Jones said Seaton was the person who brought him to Perth.

“I came here in 1988 as the writer in residence at the Perth (and District Union) Library, and he pushed for that without even knowing me,” said Wynne-Jones. Seaton was on the library board at the time. “We were supposed to stay 10 months, and we are still here,” he said. “Seaton’s a real family man, and our families became friends. But I also respected his intellect and his spirit. He was incredibly smart and informed. He had a huge concern for social justice, which I really was impressed by. I found him inspiring in that regard.” Wynne-Jones said he was always someone he could talk to, debate current events with. “He was an incredible person to talk to. He was always expanding his sense of how the world works, and I loved that about him. He had a sparkle in his eye and he never stopped learning.” Wynne-Jones said he also admired Seaton’s bravery. “When he saw something that was wrong, he would stand up and say it. He was articulate and clear and would take a side on it. And I respected that bravery.” If you would like to make a donation in memory of Seaton to either the Empty Bowls Project, email hanwood@ live.com or the Bloom Chair in Multiple Myeloma Research at the Princess Margaret Hospital, call 416-946-6560.

NOTICE OF PASSING

CONCERNING ZONING AMENDMENT BY-LAW 3358-74 PURSUANT TO SECTION 34 OF THE PLANNING ACT, R.S.O. 1990. C.P.13 TAKE NOTICE that, in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended, the Council of the Town of Perth passed By-law 3358-74 on the 22nd day of October, 2013 to amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law 3358, as it pertains to lands identified as PT Lot 9, PT Lot 10 Compiled Plan 8828; being Part 1 RP 27R 3606 and municipally known as 1 Sherbrooke Street, in the Town of Perth (File # D14-AC-03/13). AND TAKE NOTICE that any person, corporation, public body or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of Zoning By-law 3358-74 by filing file with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Town of Perth a Notice of Appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board setting out the objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection together with the fee required by the Board not later than the 18th day of November, 2013. An appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, an appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. THE PURPOSE of the application is to amend Zoning By-law 3358, to expand the provisions of the Business Park Exception One (C5-1) Zone to permit work/live units and to apply holding provisions. THE EFFECT of the rezoning is to define work-live units and permit a maximum of 12 work-live units occupying up to 50% of the leasable space within 20 m of Sherbrooke Street inclusive of one work-live unit permitted on the main floor. The units will have a minimum floor space of 83.61m2 (900 ft.2) and a maximum floor space of 200 m2 (2,152.8 ft. 2). Within a work-live unit a minimum of 50% of the floor area will be for commercial use; a maximum of 35% or 56 m2 (600 ft2) whichever is less may be residential space and the remaining floor area may be mixed use. The holding provisions apply to prohibit new residential occupancy until Building and Fire Code and site plan compliance is confirmed and will limit the initial development to three units until compliance with the new zoning standards has been demonstrated. THE KEY MAP below indicates the location of the lands affected by the proposed zoning amendment in relation to other lands within the municipality. A Copy of Zoning By-law 335874, information regarding the application process, and background materials may be examined between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays in the Planning Department at the Town Hall.

Holiday Train returns after absence TRAIN From front page

thousands of LED lights that adorn the sides of both trains with new holiday designs. Canadian Pacific Holiday Train Canadian Pacific’s annual Holiday Train program is considered to be the longest running fundraising program in North America. The Holiday Train program travels across Canada and the United States raising money, food, and awareness for food banks and hunger issues. The Holiday Train reaches more than 150 communities each year for a combined distance of 10,000 kilometres (approximately 6,000 miles). A typical Holiday Train event goes something like this: The train arrives and pulls to a safe stop in front of the crowd. The stage door lowers and the band opens with its first song. After that, a brief ceremony takes place which involves local food bank officials and other dignitaries. Once complete, the band resumes its show. After about a half hour that usually includes a mix of traditional and modern holiday-themed songs, the band plays its farewell show, the boxcar door closes, and the train slips off into the night on its way to the next stop. For 2013, Holiday Train supporters will enjoy the music of Jim Cuddy, Matt Dusk, Doc Walker,

Melanie Doane, Tracey Brown, Willy Porter, The Claytones and other musical guests. For more information on the performers and which train they will be on, please go to the Holiday Train website at: www.cpr.ca. Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 brightly decorated rail cars, including a modified boxcar that has been turned into a traveling stage for performers. They are each decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and holiday designs. Since 1999, the Holiday Train has raised close to $7.4 million and about 3 million pounds of food for North American food banks. Everything raised in each community stays in that community, and CP additionally makes donations at each stop.

Council debates why bridge tender not awarded to lowest bidder From front page

Tickets still available for fundraiser for balcony collapse victim’s children By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Tickets are still available for a fundraiser and silent auction for the children of Shannon Amy Guy, the Carleton Place woman killed in a balcony collapse while on her honeymoon in Mexico last month. The fundraiser and silent auction will be held on Friday, Nov. 22, from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. at Farrell Hall, 186 Gore St. E., Perth, for the benefit of Kaydence and Harmony Guy. Tickets are $10

and are available by calling 613-3260877, 613-200-9493, or 613-264-7336. Tickets are now also being sold at The Brick’s location in Carleton Place. The Toronto Dominion Canada Trust bank account number for a special fund set up for Kaydence and Harmony Guy, Shannon’s daughters with her husband, Paul Guy, is 3410-6303868, and donations are still being accepted. The event is being organized by friends of the family, Christine Mulville and Carey-Anne Woods.

Coun. Bob Mingie’s opinion was that public works staff needed to be convinced of the merits of HP Engineering’s proposal. “I don’t think we can make a recommendation they don’t support.� Coun. Tom Lalonde echoed this statement. “I agree with Bob (Mingie) that we need to satisfy the public works staff, we need to send this back to them and see if they’re satisfied.� Stewart’s frustration with the situation was evident when he pointed out

that staff had just indicated they would not be changing their recommendation before the next COW meeting and deferring action would only prolong the tendering process. In the end, council voted to defer the matter to the next COW meeting Nov. 12, with Stewart and Sinclair the only dissenters to the deferral. Following council’s decision, Lanark Highlands’ resident, Donna Creighton, voiced her disapproval over the deferral,

pointing out that if the bridge replacement tender is awarded to GD Jewell, it will be the fourth tender in Lanark Highlands not awarded to the lowest bidder because staff had issue with the experience or merits of the opposing bidder. “They’re (council) worried about staff approval but don’t care about the taxpayer who put them in there.�

recommendations made at committeeof-the-whole; we are not bidding the job as a superstructure, only replacement.� Monette encouraged staff to consult the references provided within their proposal, who would attest to the reliability, knowledgeability and dedication of HP Engineering. “We request staff’s recommendation to award this assignment to GD Jewell, and our proposal, be further considered,� Monette told council. Deputy Mayor Brian Stewart said he contacted the Township of South Glengarry, an HP Engineering reference, who provided a “very positive reference.� Stewart explained that South Glengarry had similar concerns with accepting a tender so much lower than its competitors, but that HP Engineering successfully completed the tender requirements and has since been awarded future contracts. When questions about the proposal were directed to staff, Thomas McCarthy, public works technologist, noted that the RFP was for the replacement of the substructure and superstructure and that “as we looked over the proposal we felt that the proposal was for the superstructure replacement.� Monette countered by reiterating that

their “intent was always to do a full replacement and as I said our fee structure clearly states that on page 10 of our proposal.� Stewart was of the opinion that HP Engineering had demonstrated the experience and expertise and didn’t feel the company should be penalized because they hadn’t previously done work for the municipality. “I’m obviously against awarding this to GD Jewell,� Stewart stressed, “I think in good conscience we can’t go ahead and pay $40,000 more for the same product.� Coun. Ken Sinclair was in agreement with Stewart. “They’ve (HP Engineering) confirmed to me tonight that it’s not that they don’t have the engineering experience, they’re an unknown company but I don’t think we can penalize them just for this. I’m convinced that the lowest bid does qualify in my mind to go forward.� McCarthy told council that despite the recent information provided by HP Engineering, his decision would not change before the next committee meeting. “We looked over it for a week. I talked to HP Engineering before I put forward my recommendation. I heard nothing today that would change my recommendation so you would get the same response at the next committee-ofthe-whole.�

Colton fans will be roasting guest of honour to kick start food drive campaign Community – Local man, mover and shaker, Hugh Colton has agreed to be the centre of attention when he will be “roasted” by fellow community celebs at the “Hugh Colton Roast” on Thursday, Nov. 7. Colton, who is well known for his tireless work as one of the stalwart champions of the “Build a Mountain of Food” campaign, who recently was awarded with the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce Community Service Award, will be on hand to receive some good-natured ribbing by friends, co-workers and community celebrities, all in an effort to support Lanark County food banks. “Convincing Hugh to accept was not difficult,” stated Perth Civitan chair, Trish McConnell. “Hugh’s desire to help with the local food banks is natural for him.” Civitan is hoping to help raise money as Colton

and the group at Town & Country Chrysler begin their 2013 Build a Mountain of Food kick-off campaign in November, which is now entering its sixth year. “Not surprisingly, there have been several community members who have put their name forward to volunteer for this event,” McConnell quipped. The event is proceeding to be a unique fundraiser for the Perth Civitan Club and should be a lot of fun for the audience, the roasters and of course the “Roastee.” The event starts at 7 p.m. with cocktails (no dinner), followed by the show at 8 p.m. The Perth Civitan Club is located on Highway 43, just outside of town. General admission is $20 or reserve a table of eight for $150. Tickets can be purchased online at www.perthcivitan.org or by calling any of the following Civitan members:

and agency review process, there are a number of minor errors and shortcomings which have been identified by the Township as it has begun administering the new Official Plan. As a consequence, the Township has identified the need for two Official Plan Amendments, as described below.

Rob Wittkie, Planning Administrator/Deputy Clerk Township of Lanark Highlands

Official Plan Amendment No. 2 The purpose of this proposed Official Plan Amendment is to correct minor errors and shortcomings in the text of the new Official Plan. It is considered to be a technical housekeeping Amendment which does not change the meaning or intent of any of the policies or land use designations in the new Official Plan. As well, it does not affect any of the policies which have been appealed to the OMB. There is no Key Map associated with either of the proposed Amendments since they have general application throughout the entire Township.

EXPLANATORY NOTE Background The new Township of Lanark Highlands Official Plan was approved with modifications by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on December 17, 2012, with one appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). As with all such new documents, especially those which have undergone numerous revisions as part of an extensive public

THE EMC - P7 - Thursday, October 31, 2013

Official Plan Amendment No. 1 The purpose of this proposed Official Plan Amendment is to correct a mapping error on Schedule B of the Official Plan. Schedule B identifies potential development constraints throughout the Township, one of which is the “Crown Land” constraint that effectively prohibits development on Crown Land. The proposed Amendment deletes the “Crown Land” designation on those properties which are privately owned (i.e., which are not Crown Land), and does not affect the basic land use designation on Schedule A of the Official Plan or the related land development policies.

Practise Halloween safety

ditorial – Halloween is that magical time of year when children get to dress up in wonderful and outrageous costumes walking the streets of the neighbourhood. The Ontario Provincial Police wish to remind parents about a few safety tips to make Halloween an enjoyable family event. The OPP will be on patrol throughout the area on Halloween to ensure “trick or treaters” are safe. Coming up with a creative disguise doesn’t mean that safety needs to be forgotten, so here are some safety tips to keep in mind: • Oct. 31 can be a chilly night so make sure that costumes are loose enough to be worn over warm clothing but not so baggy or long that trick or treaters can trip over their costumes, • Trick-or-treaters should wear sturdy walking shoes, • choose brightly-coloured costumes that will be clearly visible to motorists. For greater visibility, add or incorporate reflective tape into the costume, • make-up and face paint are better than wearing masks which can restrict breathing and/or vision. If you choose to use a mask make sure it is one that allows the child to see and breathe easily, • swords, knives and similar accessories should be made of soft, flexible material, • look for costumes, beards and wigs labelled “Flame-Resistant.” Nylon or heavyweight polyester costumes are best. Flame Resistant does not mean ‘fire proof’. Avoid costumes with baggy sleeves or flowing skirts to minimize the risk of contact with candles and other fire sources. Costumes made of flimsy materials have been found to burn more quickly when exposed to fire sources. Small children should never carve pumpkins. Instead, let your child draw a face on the pumpkin. Make your home safe for trick-or-treaters. Remove all objects around the outside of your house

that could cause children to trip or fall. Turn your outside light on so children will know they can visit your home. Keep candles, jack-o-lanterns, matches and lighters in a place that children cannot reach. Keep pets inside and away from trick-or-treaters and lit candles, especially if they are easily frightened or become over-excited in the presence of strangers. Check lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires or loose connections. Discard damaged sets. Do not overload extension cords. On Halloween, most “trick or treaters” set out around dusk but the youngest wave of ghosts, witches and rock stars might begin ringing your bell in the late afternoon. Parents should accompany their children each year until the children are old enough to go by themselves. Still, safety-minded parents can follow along at a distance to keep an eye on the children. Kids and parents should not ride in a vehicle with open doors. Everyone should be properly buckledup while riding in the family vehicle. Tell your children not to eat any goodies until you see them. Make sure that your child eats dinner before they set out, so they’ll be less tempted to eat their goodies along the way. Children should stay in well-lit areas and should only visit homes that have their outside lights turned on. Children should never go inside homes or cars. Children should walk, not run, from house to house and stay on the sidewalk or at the side of the road facing traffic, cross the road at the corner and look both ways before crossing the road. The best part about Halloween is the goodies, but before your children begin to eat their loot, make sure you examine it first. Throw out any treats that are not wrapped, those in torn or loose packages, or Lifestyle - Recently my any that have small holes in the wrappers. son came home with a piece

of paper explaining a science project he had to do. I read it. By gum, it’s the animal project! “Boychild!” I called. “This is awesome! This is the animal project!” He said something like: “Huh?” And that’s when I started prattling on about beavers and that old blue duotang with the beaver story and the drawings and I read it to him once when he was little and that’s the animal project I did in Grade 6 and oh wow isn’t this exciting! Oh… he’s not actually in the room anymore. Sometimes I wonder what stories my children will tell about me when I’m old. Maybe they’ll become columnists and repeatedly write embarrassing things about me in the newspaper. “And then I could hear my mother babbling on and on in the kitchen about blue duotangs and beavers. She was crazy then and she’s even loopier now!” Anyway, back to the animal project. Mine was for Mr. Pegg and it was a fictional tale based on science facts and I got an A+. In fact, Mr. Pegg and I still reminisce about that project. It was one of my first Great Works (er…maybe my only Great Work) and was an example of anthropomorphism – although I didn’t know it then. See, Chippy the Beaver told human-like stories about the dentist, school, marriage (complete with a fancy wedding supper menu featuring such delicacies as “bark and twigs mixed with trembling aspen chunks and maple tree sauce”) and her time at… you’ll love this… Lanark Lodge. (Get it? A home for senior beavers! Chortle!) Boychild’s animal project was due a few weeks after the notice was sent home. It indicated there would be class time to work on it, but some work at home might be required. Yay! I get to watch!

I kept waiting for Boychild to insist that we clear off the dining room table to make room for all the research books and the paper and coloured pencils for the drawings and the erasable STEPHANIE GRAY pens for the cursive writing. Alas, in this day and age we’ve got these new-fangled things called computers and the Interwebs, so I had a feeling I wouldn’t be seeing brochures and encyclopedias and books anytime soon. He settled on the hippopotamus as his animal, meaning there also wouldn’t be any probing interviews with his grandfather, the retired conservation officer. I’m pretty sure Dad never encountered a hippo in the wilds of Ontario. I prodded and Boychild insisted he was getting stuff done at school. I could, however, help set up the PowerPoint. (Definitely no cursive writing.) So I showed him how to plug his research into the slides and, in the process, I learned that hippos don’t actually sweat blood as is commonly believed. Rather, they secrete an oily substance that acts a bit like sunscreen. Huh! And did you know hippos are very graceful swimmers and can outrun a human when they haul their huge bodies out of the water? Now, if I had been writing this project, the hippo would have been named Henriette and she would have been in the Perth Triathlon. That’s the thing that’s tough to remember sometimes: our kids aren’t us. Not everything that lit a fire of imagination in us as kids is going to do the same for our little people. Fortunately, the world needs serious non-fiction projects about hippos just as much as it needs to know that Chippy the Beaver also offered maple pudding to her wedding guests, right? Although I would love to know where hippos go to live when they’re old….

Editorial - Shannon Guy’s story is heartbreaking. With three-year-old and nine-monthold daughters, you can imagine just how little time Shannon likely had for herself over these past few years. To celebrate her recent wedding with her husband, Paul, she travelled to Mexico for a honeymoon. The honeymoon was meant to not only celebrate their recent nuptials but to also have some reconnection time. Instead, Shannon lost her life in Mexico when a standing on a balcony that eventually collapsed. The devastating news has left family and friends reeling as Shannon’s daughters, Kaydence and Harmony Guy, will never see their mother again. To help address the girls’ financial future, friends have organized a benefit dance and silent auction set for Friday, Nov. 22. Taking place at Farrell Hall in Perth, the funds raised will go toward a trust fund set up in Shannon and Paul’s daughters’ names.

A Stance on cycling? One month ago, Gillian Scobie’s friend went out for a bike road. When cycling along Keays Road, which runs between County Road 511 and Harper Side Road, he was hit by a car. Left in the ditch with a broken tibia and fractured back, Scobie’s friend will face the next few months re-habilitating his injuries on top of recovering from a shocking hit. When she found out about her friend’s accident, Scobie wanted to do something about it. Frustrated with the perceived lack of road respect for cyclists, Scobie wrote a letter and sent it to local politicians seeking action. She sent a letter to Perth Mayor John Fenik, encouraging him to host a cycling-awareness week so that local driv-

ers can understand the rules of the road. Scobie’s actions are commendable, and here’s why: rather than complain about drivers or how no one has done anything to address this lack of awareness, she is making an effort to spread that information and understands that municipal councillors are a good starting point. With Lanark County council’s ongoing discussions about cycling and reviewing its long-term road infrastructure plans, perhaps Scobie should take her message to the Lanark County council, seeking their support for a cycling awareness initiative that would encourage drivers and cyclists to respect one another when out on the road.

Earl and Ann Savage. Tickets are $10 at the door. Walks with Tux I’ll be grilling Tux with some tough questions on our walks this week: what’s the square root of 81? Who was the fourth president of the United States? Pilbara is a region in which Australian state? Although neither of us knows the answers to at least two of those three questions, you likely do if you’re a trivia savant. You should put that knowledge to good use and sign up for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society’s trivia event happening on Sunday, Nov. 10. The Perth Chapter of LAWS will be hosting this trivia event at the Perth Civitan Club from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., and all proceeds will go to LAWS.

To the Editor, For the third time this year, staff at Lanark Highlands Township have recommended awarding a tender not to the lowest bidder with questionable justification. In the latest case, on Oct. 22, council considered a motion to award the contract for engineering services for the French Line bridge project to the second lowest bidder GD Jewell Engineering. Jewell’s bid ($82,495) was 78 per cent higher than the lowest bid from HP Engineering for $46,330. The motion to award the contract was based on a staff recommendation approved at a committee-of-the-whole meeting on Oct. 1. The staff recommendation was based on the statement that HP lacked experience and their proposal was for rehabilitation of the bridge or to replace the bridge over the existing abutments. An evaluation scheme had produced a total of 73 points (out of 100) for HP and 82 for Jewell. The problem is the staff report contained errors. HP responded to the COW decision in writing and made a presentation at the council meeting and clearly proved that their fees were for bridge replacement as required by the specification. The proposal did offer to look at other alternatives. As to experience, the three principals of the firm have a combined 65-plus years in bridge design. The evaluation scheme has some questionable numbers. For example, in the category “Understanding of the Assignment”, HP scored only eight out of 15, presumably based on the erroneous conclusion that HP was bidding on rehabilitation only. With this and numerous other questionable numbers it is hard to believe that the scoring was based on the facts. When a tender is received from an unknown firm, the references are critical. The reference checks did not produce a single negative comment and no one indicated that a project had problems or additional costs were incurred. In one recent case (South Glengarry) council was faced with a similar situation where the bid from HP was much lower than the others. However, the contract was awarded to HP, was successful, and HP has been used on subsequent projects. The debate at council was lively. The end result was a motion to defer the issue to the next COW meeting with a request to administration to provide additional justification for their recommendation. The issue took a bizarre turn at the end of the meeting when members of the public had an opportunity to raise questions or make comments. The mayor shocked everyone, including council members, by stating that confidential information pertaining to the issue had been received late that afternoon. It is baffling why the mayor and administration chose to conceal this information from council members and allowed them to debate the issue and possibly award the contract not knowing about it. The issue will once again be discussed at the COW meeting on Nov. 12. The most likely outcome is that council will go into closed session (whether the information qualifies or not) and will emerge to announce that the contract cannot be awarded to HP because of the confidential information. Stay tuned!

BUSINESS OWNERS/MANAGERS:

Young at heart heat up the kitchen opportunity to bring something to the table. Last session, Rosie organized a recipe-swap so participants could plan the coming weeks’ menus together. Talk of seasonality reigned, as meals often include produce harvested from The Table’s backyard garden — one week’s menu boasted a kale, cherry tomato and feta quiche and cucumber dill salad. (Featuring 10-metre dill, kale and tomatoes!) Variety, too, is the spice of this kitchen: upcoming sessions will include time in the garden, as well as a canning workshop and, of course, more stories. Rosie is impressed by how many friendships have formed between group members already. We see a cross-generational cook-off between this group and the After School Program in The Table’s future. Now that’d be a great story to share over a good meal! There is still room for a few more participants in Young at Heart. If you are interested or know someone who is, contact Rosie at 613 267-6428 X6 or come to a session at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays at 190 Gore St. E.

PDCI’s sporting life PDCI From page P9

On Friday Oct. 18, our Blue Devil cross-country team travelled to Almonte to compete in the Lanark County X-C Championship. Despite a very muddy course, all members of the team performed extremely well, setting many personal best times in their events. Tommy Sommerville was the senior boys LCIAA champion. Derek Oliver and Anique Baillon both placed 3rd and Stella MacDonald came 5th. A special note of congratulations is extended to our junior girls team of Anique Baillon, Kiera Bell, Robin Brownlee, Emelia Buker, Bree Lennox, Phillipa MacDonald, Chloe Todd-Bachelder and Taylor Dunlop for capturing the L.C.I.A.A. championship title. Also, our senior boys team of Tommy Sommerville, Stephen Schilke, Nigel Wilson, Derek Oliver and Tyler Carroll, for accomplishing the same feat.

The whole team moved on to EOSSAA at Brockville on Thursday. We had no OFSAA qualifiers but everyone did very well despite the very cold weather. Congratulations on a fantastic season team! Tryouts for the junior boys basketball team started on Tuesday. They will continue on Thursday. Let’s make a great team boys! Congratulations to the junior girls basketball team who set a PDCI record for points scored by a junior team when they defeated Carleton Place 74-12. On Friday October 18, the senior football team travelled to Carleton Place to take on the Notre Dame Warriors. From start to finish, the seniors owned the game, coming up with at 23-3 victory. The senior team also played their last regular season game on Friday. They fought our cross town rivals St. John’s and PDCI showed their support by wearing blue and white. It’s always a great day to be a Blue Devil

Community - In September, The Table Community Food Centre added a new community kitchen program to their schedule: the Young at Heart Cooking Group, which has been drawing a full kitchen’s worth of Perth-area residents between the ages of 60 and 84 to cook and share stories together. The Perth area is home to a high seniors’ population, so adding this program to the mix felt like a natural choice. Participants have vastly different experience in the kitchen: there’s the avid piebaker who joined the program to figure out how to get his crust just right, a couple of eager husband-and-wife teams, and a few beginners who want to learn new skills in a social environment. With guidance from coordinator Rosie Kerr, members of the group prepare a healthy meal together, and then sit down to share the food they’ve prepared and discuss topics that range from early kitchen inspirations to cooking memories, nutrition, and favourite recipes. The key to the program’s success so far is making sure everyone has an

Weighing in on fat talk during Fat Talk Free Week – take the challenge! Lifestyle – Many words and actions can hurt people’s selfesteem and body image. Fat Talk Free Week (Oct. 20 to 26) is a challenge dedicated to the elimination of language and actions that can damage self-esteem and create negative feelings about your body – particularly for girls and young women. “Fat talk� isn’t about being overweight. It is the language that we use about ourselves and others when we talk about dieting, losing weight and appearance. The challenge is to spend a week of “no fat talk�. The goal is to become more aware of your comments on your own or others’ weight with words that seem “harmless�, for example “does my butt look big in these jeans?� Think before using statements like “I’m so fat.� “I need to lose 10 pounds� and “She’s too fat to be wearing that swimsuit.� Statements that are considered fat talk don’t necessarily have to be negative; they reinforce the need to be thin – like: “You look great! Have you lost weight?� Fat talk statements seem harmless, but can create negative self-talk and feeling bad around simple actions like eating a piece of cake. Fat talk reinforces the idea that fat is bad and your self-worth is measured by the number on the scale. This past February, movie reviewer Rex Reed wrote a scathing review of Melissa McCarthy’s role in the movie “Identify Thief.� His criticism of her performance included insulting comments about her

weight that had nothing to do with her acting. In reality, a good or bad performance should not be based on a person’s body size. McCarthy responded beautifully by saying that she does not “beat herself up� about her weight because she doesn’t want “to pass that on to her (two daughters).� Research shows that girls as young as three years old have heard this “thin is best� idea. When people use “fat talk� they strengthen the image that being thin is the ideal size and that your value and happiness hinges on your weight and appearance. The idea of Health at Every Size promotes that healthy bodies come in different shapes and sizes and the best way to improve health is to honour our bodies. Health should not be measured by a number on a scale but be achieved by regularly moving your body in enjoyable ways, eating tasty and healthy foods and listening to your body’s hunger cues. The best way to promote positive body image is to avoid discussing weight or appearance and be critical of messages you see and hear. Instead of focusing on weight, appearance and size, shift your focus to strengths, accomplishments and abilities. Provide positive feedback and encouragement in other areas such as things you appreciate about someone’s personality, or something they have accomplished. If someone’s goal is to lose weight, comment on their determination to be healthy (not on the pounds lost). Positive self-esteem and body image are being pro-

MADD Canada and LCBO launch Smashed campaign to Ontario students News – The word “smashed� will take on a whole new meaning for students who see MADD Canada’s 2013-2014 school assembly program. Emotional and realistic, MADD Canada’s new program, called Smashed, demonstrates just how easily and quickly a night of partying can turn to tragedy when someone makes the wrong decision. MADD Canada and Ontario provincial partner LCBO officially kicked off the Ontario tour of Smashed recently. Thanks to the support of LCBO customers and staff, 1,050 presentations of Smashed and its French companion program, Impact, will be delivered to a half million students in schools throughout the province, at absolutely no charge to the schools. Smashed shows how characters Natalie, Pete and Kelly ditch a school dance to go to a house party with Johnny. Once there, Natalie starts drinking.

When Johnny, who has also been drinking, leaves the party to get pot, a drunken Natalie makes the terrible decision to go with him. Kelly and Pete do everything they can to stop Natalie from getting in the car but she won’t listen. Kelly calls 911 and then she and Pete get in her car to follow their friend. What happens next is a nightmare that none of the young friends could ever have dreamed. The fictional story is then followed by real-life stories of three people who are victims of impaired driving. “Smashed portrays a very difficult, yet very real, scenario for teens,� said MADD Canada’s national president Denise Dubyk. “It shows students how quickly one person’s decisions can cause a situation to spin wildly out of control and affect not only themselves, but their friends and others around them. We want students to think about and take precautions to protect themselves and

their friends and help prevent impaired driving incidents from happening on our roads.� Teens and young adults are over-represented in impaired driving crashes. Youth between 16 and 25 years old represented just 13.7 per cent of the population in 2009 but they accounted for nearly a third (31.1 per cent) of all alcohol-related road crash deaths. MADD Canada’s school assembly program reinforces the fact that every single one of the deaths and injuries caused by impaired driving is entirely preventable. “This combination of a fictional scenario that resonates with youth, along with very real and emotional accounts of actual impaired driving victims, reaches students in a direct and impactful way,� said Dubyk. “We are incredibly grateful to these courageous individuals for talking about their experiences, and we thank LCBO customers

and employees for their support in helping us share these stories with students all across the province.� “LCBO encourages students to make responsible choices and thanks to our generous customers and staff, we raised a new record of $1.47 million for MADD Canada and its school assembly program,� said Bob Peter, LCBO president and chief executive officer. “These funds help prevent impaired driving among Ontario youth and ensure that half a million students will see this program at no cost to schools.� Selling alcohol responsibly

is central to the LCBO. Staff challenged 7.8 million people in 2012-13, for failing to produce valid I.D., appearing intoxicated or attempting to purchase for a minor or an impaired individual. Service was refused to more than 322,000 people, with 84 per cent for reasons of age. In addition, LCBO’s year-round Check 25 program, where staff check the I.D. of anyone who looks 25 or younger, was enhanced in the more than 635 stores via a variety of materials which feature the tagline “25 or younger? Have your I.D. ready�. The goal is to build further awareness among customers of this

policy and help ensure that alcohol is not sold to minors. The school assembly program has been a cornerstone of MADD Canada’s youth services since 1994. Approximately one million students will see Smashed, and the French language program, Impact, across Canada in 2013-2014. For more information, or to check out a clip from Smashed, please visit our school assembly program page in our youth services section on the MADD Canada web site at www. madd.ca.

Cascading life insurance – it’s for the kids As a parent or grandparent, you want to pass your wealth to your children or grandchildren in ways that are the most effective and useful to them – and the most tax-efficient way. By purchasing a whole life or universal life policy on the life of your child or grandchild, you can invest money on a taxdeferred basis inside the life insurance policy and guarantee the insurability of your child or grandchild. As well the policy is transferred tax free and outside the grandparents’ estate to the child or grandchild. In addition, while you’re alive and contributing to a permanent life insurance policy, the cash surrender value (CSV), grows as you contribute – for their needs later to buy a house or fund an education after your death. The child can access the CSV of the policy in three ways: withdrawals, policy loans or as collateral for a loan. Each type has its own issues and taxation. The policy also guarantees the child’s insurability for the amount purchased and is under the control of the parent or

Manage Your Money grandparent during their lifetime. Here’s a specific example of creating a cascading effect of wealth through life insurance: You’re a grandparent, age 60, and you purchase a 20pay whole life participating policy on the life of your 5-year old grandson with an initial face amount of $500,000. The annual premium with maximum allowable deposit is $6,865 a year. The CSV at age 25 is $ 175,1141 and the death benefit is $1,163,9301. At age 80, you transfer policy ownership to your 25-year old grandchild, tax free, who can use the policy’s CSV as an additional asset that can be either accessed through a policy withdrawal, a policy loan or collateralization of the CSV. Each type has its own issues and taxation The policy continues to grow and when the child is 65, the CSV of $915,973 could provide the option of additional source of funding in retirement either through

withdrawal, policy loan or collateralization. Cascading your wealth to next generations is both a loving and a financiallysupportive gesture. Life insurance is one way. There are others. Talk to your professional advisor about the best choices for your situation. This is a life insurance policy illustration with values that are not guaranteed. The CSV and death benefits are subject to market fluctuations and may be different than the values illustrated. The CSV and death benefit are based on a Canada Life Wealth Achiever – Max 20-insurance illustration as of August 29, 2013. 1

BOND, Christopher- In loving memory of our cherished son, brother and uncle who left us so suddenly three years ago, October 29th, 2010. Another year has come and gone The sadness we feel still hangs on. To loose a son so young just doesn’t seem fair There were so many adventures we wanted to share. You touched so many lives along the way, In our hearts you will always stay. You are looking done on baby Rachel from above She looks at your pictures with so much love. The one comfort we have is you are no longer in pain One day we will all meet again. Chris we will miss and love you forever. Mom, Dad, Mark, Phil, Steph, and Rachel. BRYAN - In loving memory of Marie Bryan who passed away October 31, 2009. Although we smile and make no fuss No one misses her more than us And when old times we oft recall It’s then we miss you most of all. Sadly missed and always remembered by Jean and family FOX, Gary William Russell - In loving memory of a dear brother, who passed away November 6, 2008. May the winds of love blow softly And whisper so you hear That we still love and miss you And wish that you were here. Always loved Cindy and Katie Cathy, Pat and Family Karen and Nick Kelly FOX- In loving memory of our son, Gary, who passed away November 6, 2008. Memories are like threads of gold They never tarnish or grow old. Remembrance keeps you ever near As time unfolds another year. It isn’t what we write here Or even what we say, It’s what we feel within our hearts As we think of you today. Deeply missed, Mom and Dad Fox

PETERS, William Henry “Bill” – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, who passed away November 7, 2011. We little knew that morning God was to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful 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. Love you always, Joan, Bill and Marlene, Peggy and Harold, Angela, Anthony and Carmen, Riley and Aiden

MULROONEY, Linda – In loving memory of a very dear daughter, wife, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and a true friend to many who passed away November 5, 2005 – 8 long years ago. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time, nor reason, Will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without. Forever loved Mother Eileen Johnston

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

SCHONAUER – In memory of Douglas Schonauer, who passed away October 31, 2011. God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.” A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Forever in our hearts, Poppa we love you Wife Joanne (Bunnie) and family

OCTOBER NOVEMBER

Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way of

saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying…“We Remember”.

Kiwanis Club of Perth kicks off its ‘new’ year

Community – The Perth Kiwanis Club held its recent new year induction with a dinner out at Maximilian’s Restaurant in Perth. “October is New Year’s for Kiwanis and we’re rocking and rolling,” says Helen Gamble, president. “There’s a whole lot of shaking going on, and you can be part of it.” The new board of directors includes Gamble, Phil Anderson, vice; Marilyn Devlin, treasurer, and Keith Hall as secretary. Directors include Karl Delorme, Boyd Thompson, and Patti Lamarche who is also past interim president and assistant secretary. Marie Shaw (of the fifth-generation on the farm Shaws) and past president, is now Lieutenant Governor of Kiwanis District 13. “We’re proud of you, Marie – a coup for Perth, a coup for our club, a coup for you. Bravo!” says Gamble. Also a coup for Perth, and good for tourism, Shaw and the Perth Kiwanis Club are hosting a caucus meeting of area Kiwanians including a visit by Hope Markes, governor of the Kiwanis Eastern Canada & Caribbean District, in early April, 2014. Upwards of 150 people will be in attendance including many Kiwanis dignitaries. More information will be available when a venue has been determined. A new membership drive has been launched. This year the club is covering membership fees for anyone who hasn’t been a Kiwanis member (anywhere) recently, and will be providing a discount to renewing members. So it’s a great time to become involved and try the club out. “While we’re making changes, we’re keeping what’s good about our club which focuses on giving a hand up to children and youth,” said Gamble. “We’re continuing with our popular Terrific Kids program which encourages good citizenship in 11 area elementary schools. And we’re continuing to send four area teens to Kiwanis Key Leader Camp in Arden for a weekend each fall; all costs paid and transportation provided by Perth Kiwanis.” Kiwanis Perth also grants scholarships again to local high school students and support and donate funds to Lanark Youth organization, Youth Action Kommittee, Big Brothers & Big Sisters, air cadets, the program for children at The Table, Cornerstone

Landing, and many more. “We make comfort dolls for the police and children’s services. We conduct games at Conlon Farm on Canada Day. We help in the schools. We make a difference in lives. Joining would make a difference in your own life,” she said. Members decide themselves what service or fundraising project they want to help out with and how much time they have to give. It’s at their discretion; they’re in control, she said. “All we ask is that members do what they say they will. Support and encouragement is always at hand. Most of all, we encourage members to have fun and make friends.” Perth Kiwanis is perfect for anyone who wants to do something for the community. Whether twentysomethings, business people, empty nesters, newcomers, or retirees, we work and play together and get good things done. New members are always welcome. Call 613267-4662 or send a message to Beckwith@Cogeco. ca. Visit KiwanisOne.org and PerthKiwanis.byethost4.com. Submitted by Kiwanis Club of Perth\

POPPY CAMPAIGN 2013 PERTH-UPON-TAY BRANCH 244 THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION It has been the custom for many years that the annual Poppy Campaign in the Town of Perth has, in addition to the provision of the distribution by the members of Branch 244 at the entrances to several large stores during the twothree week period of the Campaign, also conducted a house-to-house Poppy Blitz on a selected evening; however, it has been found that the numbers of volunteers required for this Blitz has decreased over the last several years. Consideration of the matter of the Blitz has resulted in the decision that this year’s house-tohouse canvass should be abbreviated somewhat - in that some Legion members may decide to visit the homes in their own residential areas and offer poppies to persons who might not be able to travel to the main shopping stores during the period of the Poppy Campaign. Such members will be identitified by the wearing of a “Poppy Volunteer Ribbon”. It is pointed out that the main efforts of the Campaign volunteers will be concentrated on Brownlee Metro and Barnabee’s Independent Grocer. The appearance of the volunteers for Poppy distribution at these stores will be in addition to the counter-top boxes which are placed for display and donations within all the stores throughout the town. Branch 244, on behalf of The Legion in general, wish to thank citizens and shoppers in advance of the event for the generosity in the attainment of success in this worthy cause. It is pointed out that funds emanating from the Poppy Campaign are used in support of Veterans and dependents, and provision of Bursaries to qualified students who are continuing to higher education, etc. Kindly contact the Branch Office for further information at Telephone 613-267-4400 OR the Poppy Chair who will be present daily in the Poppy Office in the Branch.

many children do not complete primary school because they are required to help the family work. Providing micro loans to families is yet another way we support the Maya to become more self sustaining. Loans are used to purchase livestock which can be bred in order to sell some offspring, repay the loan and reap some profit. Raw materials can be purchased to produce the beautiful woven textiles Guatemala is known for. To date 35 loans have been disbursed, and all have been repaid so the lending cycle can continue. In the remote village of Pannamaquim the GSP has supplied a diesel powered corn grinder, built a chicken coup to house 100 laying hens, partnered with the Perth Rotary club to pipe in much needed water some 5kms in mountains and through the Sam Clarke memorial fund built

to fifteen years providing a better quality of life. Once completed the recipients consider their new stove to be one of their most precious possessions. It is hard for us to conceive that the Maya might never earn the $225 it costs to build an improved cooking stove in Guatemala. We use local materials and employ masons to carry out the work as long as our funds last each year. We have constructed over 5,000 stoves with donations from Canada and the US. To answer a common question, our work will never be done; there are still many thousands to be built and as stoves deteriorate they need to be rebuilt. The GSP is involved in funding some other important initiatives. We sponsor 15 students for continued education, for education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty for the Maya where

inhospitable land. The main goal of the Guatemala Stove Project (GSP) is to raise funds in Canada to build as many improved cooking stoves as possible in Guatemala. At the present time most families cook their meals in their small homes over open “three stone” fires which, fills the house with toxic smoke. The mother of the house, along with her children, are all breathing the noxious fumes from the fire. Needless to say the toxic smoke from the fire causes respiratory and eye infections, and other chronic illnesses which can lead to blindness and an early death. By building our masonry improved cooking stoves a safe cooking area is provided that vents the choking smoke up the chimney and out of the house. It is estimated our stoves can lengthen these peoples’ lives ten

Community - Our project is a home grown, grassroots effort born in the warm community of Brooke Valley, just a few miles west of Perth. Volunteers work countless hours to provide assistance for the indigenous Maya of the western highlands of Guatemala. The Maya derive their strength from their deep cultural, community, and family ties which provide them with resilience. They have a sense of belonging that most of us could only dream about. We Canadians plan and save for all our material trappings and secure retirement while the Maya struggle to survive from day to day, week to week and season to season. For the most part they are subsistence farmers. Life is very precarious in the highlands of Guatemala where the Maya have been pushed to eke out an existence on the county’s most

Opinion – From a time that I thought I had everything under control, to now experiencing life through the eyes of someone who, losing that control, or better still, relinquishing control to a stronger, more powerful Person. With much of my day spent sifting through the many thoughts and emotions that have zoomed through my head since receiving confirmation of having contracted Multiple Myeloma, I can’t help but think that God’s Hand is totally involved in all of what is happening‌ as hard a “pillâ€? as that was to swallow at first. I was losing control of my life but He was taking over‌ just to make a point of who really is in control! Now one could think that I’d be angry with God‌ why me, why now? But I’ve now concluded‌ why NOT me, why NOT now? It has resulted in evidence of so many graces that God has brought through so many prayers – graces, not only to me and my family, but also to so many other people with stories of healing of their own, both physically and spiritually. Many of these healings are the result of increased faith in their lives, because of reaching out to others through prayer. Do NOT under estimate the power of your prayers! I’ve also concluded that the choice my wife Elaine and I made of an alternate route to chemo is a road less travelled, and therefore, requires a greater amount of patience. Day by day is a learning experience into the unknown of a daily protocol of treatment, that can get tedious every now and then‌ and only my wife really knows how “impatientâ€? a patient, I can be. Almost four months into this affliction, with good days and bad, it still leaves me with the reassuring conclusion that I am in a win-win situation! I either get through this part of the disease to a point of remission and perhaps full healing, and spend some quality time in the ministry I was prepared to do as a deacon‌ or, I enter a very glorious place where I will spend eternity‌ finally getting to see God face to face. That has become a very exciting prospect! This is the reality I have come to accept! I now take each day at a time and take each small success in recovery as a sign of healing‌ but that it’s all in God’s controlling hand‌ it is His will that I have been trying to align my own life with, so that things become easier and effortless with peace, because they then become what He wants! His Will, His Control with my life! The community of Perth and area, and many parishes and congregations near and far, have overwhelmingly responded to the call for prayer‌ a very humbling experience. So I thank you all, dear friends, acquaintances, complete strangers, for the prayers, the cards, the mass intentions, the meals, the support and other expressions of generosity. My hope is to be here for quite some time yet, so that I may serve you and the community once again as a Deacon, because “my Hope is in the Lord!â€? I would like to conclude this brief article with a passage from scripture that has brought additional comfort at this time: “May you attain knowledge of God’s will through perfect wisdom and spiritual insight. Then you will lead a life worthy of the Lord and pleasing to Him in every way. You will multiply good works of every sort and grow in the knowledge of God. By the might of His glory you will be endowed with the strength needed to stand fast, even to endure joyfully whatever may come.â€?

Blue Wings win streak halts at six after shoot-out loss to Pontiacs By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Sports - The Perth Blue Wings had a big four-goal second period, but couldn’t get by the Shawville Pontiacs in Eastern Ontario Hockey League action Sunday night, losing to the visitors, 5-4 in a shootout, snapping a big six-game win streak. Assistant coach Colin Glenn said the boys are really just “playing the simple game” and staying out of the penalty box. “I don’t know what it is about Shawville… we were down, came back… just something about that team; they have us in the first period, and once we get back playing our game plan, it’s good… but last night, we couldn’t get it back.” Shawville scored the only goal in the first period, on a power play, when Mathew Labrosse got by Perth’s Jeremy

Wright. He was assisted by Brett Nugent and Danick Genest at 4:54 of the period. It was soon after that, when a boarding call to Perth’s Jimmy Pearson changed the tone of the game as Shawville’s Nugent had to be taken off the ice by ambulance attendants. “We’re not sure as to the extent of the injuries (to Nugent), said Glenn. “It was unfortunate. No one is saying much.” Shawville went ahead 3-0 early in the second period with goals from Julian Dumont and Guillaume Coovi-Sirois. Perth then fired up the bench and scored four back-to-back goals to take the 4-3 lead at the period break. Goal scorers for the Blue Wings were Alex Vala – from Zac Rodier and Blair Barr; Barr from Vala and Rodier; Andrew Davis on the power play from Austin Lamonte and Barr, and Ben Angus, assisted by Jacob Lyon and Kyle

Major injury halts play at weekend junior game By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Sports – A major injury to a Shawville Pontiacs forward seven minutes into the first period brought Sunday night’s EOJHL game against the Perth Blue Wings to a shuddering halt. Pontiacs’ Brett Nugent lay motionless on the ice as the Perth arena grew eerily silent. The music was cut and both teams pulled their players off of the ice. An ambulance arrived outside of the Zamboni doors within minutes as first aid staff offered the young man assistance, and blankets were gathered to keep him warm. “(He) turned back and exposed his number,” said Blue Wings owner Michael McLean, who, though he did not

see the hit from the bench, heard several accounts of what happened from his players. “It was a shoulder-on-shoulder hit. The call is boarding.” McLean was quick to point out though that the Blue Wings player involved, Jimmy Pearson, was not at fault. “The referee said it was non-intentional, which is huge,” said McLean. “He’s not that type of player. He’s a finesse player. He is in our top line,” he said of Pearson, who used to play for the Carleton Place Canadians. The family declined to comment on Nugent’s condition. The Pontiacs went on to defeat the Blue Wings 5-4 in a shootout. The two teams meet up again tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 1) at 7:45 p.m. at the Perth arena.

Dowdall. It was at the 13:05 mark in the final period when Shawville tied the score on Liam Poirier’s goal, forcing a scoreless overtime showdown, resulting in the shootout. Rodier was the only goal scorer in the shootout, with two from Shawville’s Labrosse and Christopher Bones to seal the win. The Blue Wings earned a point, despite the loss and now sit in second place in the EOJHL Valley Division, behind Arnprior. On Friday night, the team was on the road, earning a 3-1 win against the Metcalfe Jets. Perth led after the first period, 2-0, with goals from Rodier and Adam Morton. Assists came from Pearson and Barr, Steven Plescia and Brock Stashick. After a scoreless second, Metcalfe scored their only goal on a power play when Sean Bakker got by Wright, who recorded the win for Perth. Rodier closed the game with his empty-netter, unassisted at 19:19, for the 3-1 decision. “We’re keeping it simple. We’re rolling guys, which helps even more and we’re working hard in practice. Conditioning is a huge factor which is really working for us,” Glenn said of the team’s sprint up the standings’ ladder. “We’re one of the only teams that has two practises a week. The boys are getting full attendance at practise, which in itself is rare at Jr. B. The boys are having a lot of fun; obviously winning helps.” Glenn noted that the team is fairly young, and once they shook off the kinks at the beginning of the season, they’re getting their legs under them. When asked if there have been any surprises this season, Glenn said he was most impressed with the work ethic of the team’s younger set. “Their work ethic in practice and in games has been rubbing off on some

of the old guys, because when they’re working hard the older guys, if they want to take a stride or a shift off, they can’t, because the young guys are pushing them.” He said they’re really pleased with the younger boys, and “the veterans are doing what’s expected of them, getting us to where we are right now.” Coming up, the team hosts Shawville Friday night, at 7:30 p.m. Then they’re

off for a week before meeting Arnprior on Nov. 8, in what could be a battle for first place in the Valley Division. “It will be a good measuring stick, especially against Arnprior, because they’re first right now,” Glenn said. “Nobody gave them or us a chance at the beginning of the season to be where we are right now and take a look at the standings… they’re one and we’re two.”

Spartans reach Lanark football finals Sports – The Lanark County football finals will have a Spartan flare this Friday. Both the junior and senior teams from St. John Catholic High School won their respective semifinals on Tuesday to advance to the finals. Seniors defeated cross-town rival PDCI Blue Devils 33-0 while the juniors shutout Arnprior 14-0. The juniors will host the league final this Friday while it was expected the seniors would be traveling to Almonte for a showdown with the Thunderbolts. Last week, the cross-town rivalry

was in full force as both the senior and junior Spartans from St. John Catholic High School came away with two wins against the Blue Devils. In the senior game, Spartans Connor Sergeant once again enjoyed a highlight afternoon scoring four touchdowns in a 32-0 rout of the Blue Devils. Dylan Moyse added another TD late in the game. On defence, Michael Rapkins provided some highlight reel hits from the defensive back position. This win guaranteed the seniors home-field advantage for the LCIAA semi-final game on Tuesday, Oct. 29, against

PDCI. Results were not available at press time. In junior action, the Spartans ended their undefeated regular season with a 35-0 victory over the Blue Devils. This is the first time in school history that a team has gone 7-0 during the regular season. Tyler Murphy, Noah Noonan, Aidan Pierman score offensive TDs. The defence proved again to be solid and unbeatable. Travis Donovan, Andrew Holmes and Nolan McKinnon made outstanding plays, according to coach Dominic Marando.

The long, scary, but fruitful road to the priesthood for Perth native By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Pope John Paul II may have told the world “Be not afraid,” but Kevin Kelly admits that, yes, he was afraid. Speaking in front of thousands of faithful and curious, the first non-Italian pope in hundreds of years stood on a balcony overlooking St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City in 1978 and said “Be not afraid.” But for Kelly, as a university student in Toronto in his 20s, the calling to the priesthood was something he admits scared him. “At that time, it was not something I was comfortable with,” he admits during an email exchange with The Perth Courier over the weekend. “It was scary and was not at all aligned with the plans that I had for my life. I buried any feelings about being a priest for a long time.” Now, years later, in late August, Kelly, 42, professed his first vows with the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuits, of whom the current pope, Francis, is a member. His profession, the first major step towards becoming a priest, took place in Montreal at the original chapel of the first Jesuit university in Canada.

In between his time taking to the priesthood and graduating from university, he worked for many years in a senior leadership position at a multinational pharmaceutical company. He wasn’t the only member of his family who had followed through on his desire for holy orders. His father’s aunt, Francisca Kelly, was a Sister of Providence nun in Kingston, but still he was hesitant about pursuing the religious life. “It’s sad, but even with good friends, you don’t always discuss your biggest challenges and desires – you keep them to yourself, especially those that go against the current trends of today’s world,” he wrote. But he was grateful that he could count on the support of his family and friends when he finally did make up his mind to become a priest. “Most (of my friends) were very surprised when I told them, at least at first,” wrote Kelly. “Since then, many have said that it makes sense to them and that, in many ways, they should have seen it coming. I suppose, you get use to seeing people in a certain way and this was a very big departure from what I had been doing previously. My friends have been so supportive and…tell me often that they

New vendors sought for arts and craft show in Lanark

are so happy to see me at peace with my decision.” Kelly grew up in both Ottawa and Perth, spending many summers with his brothers in Stanleyville at Black Lake, where his parents, Christine and Gregory, now live. (He is the grandson of Betty Cosgrove, who is a Perth resident and attends St. John’s Roman Catholic Church.) He graduated from St. Pius X High School in Ottawa, but did not hear the call to become a priest until he was studying human physiology at the University of Toronto. He is now back at U of T, at Regis College, the Jesuit college, one of the founding schools of the Toronto School of Theology. Kelly will be studying philosophy for the next two years, and then will begin his theological studies for a Masters of Divinity. After another year of philosophy, he will start a “regency,” a chance to “investigate future ministries, like teaching at a school, working in a parish or retreat centre, or anywhere people need support and help. After that, I will go back to school and study theology. It’s a long road.” While a myriad of opportunities await him, he does not want to leave his busi-

church and are angry,” he wrote. “An important step to overcome pain or anger that exists is to talk about it and to be open to the other person’s story. I have learned so much from these discussions and people’s generosity in sharing their views.” In years past, seminaries of most Christian denominations would pump out a steady supply of young men to preach the word. Today, that number has dwindled down to a trickle, something that Kelly is aware of. He chalks some of this up to many younger people not necessarily being “exposed to role models of people in religious life.” He said he was lucky to have such models, including Fr. Brian McNally at St. John’s. “It’s probably harder for them (younger people) to see themselves in religious life today. It goes against what society tells us we should want,” Kelly wrote. One Catholic figure who appears to have intrigued, if not necessarily completely won over, today’s youth, is Pope Francis, who attended World Youth Day in Brazil earlier this year.

Community – Gregory Smith is no stranger to organizing successful shows where artisans and crafters unite for a common goal. The Lanark leathersmith, who started the Starving Artist Market Place in Almonte two years ago, wants to host an event in December in his home town. “The Lanark Civitan Club has been good to offer the space for a Dec. 7 show and sale,” he said. “I’m looking for some more vendors.” Smith, who is now a member of the Civitan, says he wants any funds raised from the event to be set aside for a new roof for the Lanark club. “That hall definitely needs a new roof,” he said. Smith has a goal to turn this show into an annual one. “There are many crafters and artisans in this area, who have loads of talent,” and he wants to have a show for the Christmas holiday. “I didn’t want to have it the same time as many others are going on, so I thought later in the season – closer to Christmas – would be a good time,” he said. For more information, or to book a table, please call Smith at 613-259-2534 or email: leathersmith@live.ca.

ness training behind. In fact, he feels he can bring a lot from his previous life’s work with him into the church. “I would like to integrate my experiences working in the business world with spirituality,” he wrote. “Many people feel disconnected between what they do at work and the bigger purpose of their life – I certainly have. We are often not comfortable discussing our challenges and fears or the things that really matter to us with our colleagues and yet we spend as much time with them as we do with our families – sometimes even more.” For Kelly, he may have heard God, so to speak, on his way to class, but he now realizes that “God’s plans for us are not always very tangible. God doesn’t call us on the phone or meet us at Tim Hortons for a coffee to talk about it. God speaks to us through our friends and family and in our quiet moments of reflection – which most of us don’t’ get a lot of,” he wrote. While family and friends, many of whom travelled to Quebec for his vows, including his grandmother, are supportive, others are “puzzled” by his decision. “For some, it’s because they have been deeply hurt by their experiences with the

Long road to the altar for Perth man PRIEST From page P17

“Pope Francis is a very inspiring individual – and I say that not because he’s a Jesuit!” wrote Kelly. “He is humble and welcoming. He speaks clearly and in a way I can understand and relate. He is also so full of hope. These traits are not always obvious for people trying to connect with God and find their place in the church.” Like Pope John Paul II, from Poland, Francis was the church’s first Latin American pope, and first from the new world. In that vein, Kelly too is coming to the priesthood not in the traditional way, as a young man fresh from school, but from the world of business – something he hopes to bring with him from the boardroom to the pulpit. “I would like to integrate my experiences working in the business world with spirituality,” he wrote. “Many people feel disconnected between what they do at work and the bigger purpose of their life – I certainly have. We are often not comfortable discussing our challenges and fears or the things that really matter to us with our colleagues and yet we spend as much time with them as we do with our families – sometimes even more.”

anger that exists is to talk about it and to be open to the other person’s story. I have learned so much from these discussions and people’s generosity in sharing their views.” While many adults will change jobs up to a dozen times in their lifetimes, priestly duties will be Kelly’s last game changer. “I am so grateful that even at this point in my life I have been given an openness to change paths and do something new, something that I didn’t plan and that was scary at first, but something that I knew I needed to investigate and experience,” he wrote. “I am so grateful that I have.” He adds that society’s increasingly secular outlook may make choosing a religious vocation more difficult for people, Submitted photo he notes that “the rewards and happiness Kevin Kelly, a former part-time far outweigh any fears you may have.”

WASTE REDUCTION WEEK IN CANADA OCTOBER 21-27 Waste Reduction Week engages and empowers Canadians to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. The theme this year is “Ease My Load”. WRW’s “take action” message calls on all Canadians to adopt more environmentally conscious choices. The Waste Reduction Week educational resources provide information and ideas to reduce waste in all facets of daily living. Reducing waste is one solution to the many environmental challenges we face: climate change, water pollution and preservation of natural resources. Let’s all try to do our part in remembering the 3R’s – REDUSE, RE-USE & RECYCLE and making this philosophy a part of our daily lives! Together we can have a positive influence on climate change and the world we share.

CHANGE YOUR CLOCK CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES Residents are reminded to set their clocks back one hour at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, November 3rd, 2013. This is also a great time to check the batteries in all of your smoke alarms as there is no use in having alarms with flat batteries. Press the button on the front of your alarm and see if it beeps, if it doesn’t then it is time to replace the batteries. This is also the time of the year when a lot of us start to feel a bit glum and down.

WHAT GOES UP – MUST COME DOWN Residents are reminded that burning of household garbage is a major uncontrolled source of pollution in Canada. Burning garbage at home or at your cottage is one of the largest known sources of dioxins and furans in Ontario. Dioxins released into the air from burning garbage fall onto leaves of plants that farm animals eat and when we eat the fats in meat and dairy products from animals raised on those plants, we ingest dioxins. Remember dioxins in our bodies can cause a variety of health problems.
