CARLETON PLACE – Wendy LeBlanc still wonders about the boy she couldn’t reach. The Carleton Place mayor threw out her prepared remarks last week as she stood before hundreds of elementary and high school students, and instead spoke from the heart about one of her former students. “I could never find out why Michael was such a sad little boy,” said LeBlanc, during an assembly in the gymnasium of Notre Dame Catholic High School. “I could never get him to smile, no matter what…I never succeeded. At that time, there was no help for Michael or any kids like him. I failed.” Years later, Michael was on a class trip to Amherst Island, near Kingston, Ont. “Michael walked out into the water, and he drowned himself,” LeBlanc said, looking out over a completely quiet gym. “I thought, ‘What could I have done to have prevented that?’” On this day, however, LeBlanc was hopeful for the future. “I’m looking at you today and I’m seeing a tremendous change,” she said. “You, to me, are the champions of change. You’re wonderful young people.” See BRAVE, page 3

Lumber baron’s building up for sale BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – In 1875, John Gillies built a machine shop for his 20-yearold son, Alexander, on Rosamond Street in Carleton Place, right on the bank of the Mississippi River. Now, the building is up for sale for an asking price of $795,000.
Gillies was one of the Ottawa Valley’s original lumber barons, who migrated from Scotland in 1821 and started in the lumber business in 1840 – building multiple factories and mills. His son Alexander passed away only three years after his father built him the machine shop, the result of a drowning. See LUMBER, page 5

It was this inspirational seminar that gave light to a fundraiser and benefit for the children of Japan, recently devastated by earthquakes and tsunami. The event is to be held at Saje Wisdom Salon & Spa on Monday May 16th from 3-9 pm and will offer many silent auction items donated from the community as well as spring makeovers reflecting the styling that was part of the Hollywood seminar; a beautiful mix of Japan’s heritage from Kyoto and the modern lines of Tokyo. Strong lines and balanced fluidity like that of the Kendo Ballet are a strong influence on this latest collection from Shu Uemura. Donations to the cause can be made in person at Saje Wisdom Salon & Spa or online through Save the Children Canada, search KyoTokyo Collection for the Children of Japan.

Brave New Minds Walk part of health week Continued from front The students, who came from various schools from all over Carleton Place, had converged on Notre Dame to take part in a Brave New Minds Walk, held as part of Children’s Mental Health Week, which was organized by Open Doors on May 6. LeBlanc added that mental illness need not be a taboo, that it can touch anyone’s family – even her own. “My brother is mentally ill,” she said. “And you know what? We said ‘Oh well, that’s just Wayne.’” As Wayne got older though, his behaviour did not improve, and it ended up costing him his marriage and access to his children. “For a long time, I was embarrassed to let people know he was my brother,” admitted LeBlanc. One day, though, she had an epiphany, as she saw him walking down the main street in Carleton Place, pushing a trolley with his possessions. “He’s my brother. He’s my brother,” she said quietly. “I hadn’t had anything to do with him for 10 years.” She now sees him every day. Wayne has since been diagnosed with a mental illness and is getting the help he needs. “Our brother and sister relationship is the best it’s ever been,” LeBlanc said.

ing through. “If you see a kid with a disability, be kind to him, because we are all the same,” said Smith. Hugh Colton, the afternoon’s host, certainly knew how Smith felt, having only been diagnosed
recently with ADD himself. Colton told the kids to get help if they felt they needed it. “Don’t wait 47 years like I did,” said Colton, the marketing and promotions director for Town and Country Chrysler in Smiths
Falls. “These teachers are here to help you and they have great ears.” Colton repeated a message that the students had been hearing all day, that discrimination against people with mental illness was not cool. “There is no one to blame for it. There is no shame. Step up,” Colton said. “Hold your head up high…If you have an issue, a problem, ask for help.” About 14 per cent of children in Carleton Place have had to call on the services of Open Doors. “I think that the future of children’s mental health has less to do with what we do in our offices, and more to do with what is happening in this room,” said Amber McCarton, Open Doors executive director. “We’ve got this magnificent thing inside of our head and we hardly pay any attention to it at all, until something goes wrong…Mental health should be as normal as dental health.” McCarton appealed to parents to listen to their children, and hear their fears. “If you are inclined to be a worrier, that something bad is always around the corner, it is our job to see that it is ok to worry,” said McCarton. “It is safe to talk about heaviness, to talk about darkness.” She did note, however, that “the world is better than the one I grew up in.”

Cycle through two centuries into Bicycle Month New events planned for Mississippi Mills this June
In Mississippi Mills, an entire month is devoted to the sport – or mode of transportation. Jeff Mills got passed a copy of Momentum Magazine, which is found online at www.momentumplant.com, in 2008 by a member of town staff who knew he was an avid cyclist. “I noticed that there were cities in Canada that had bicycle months,” Mills said. “What would happen in a rural Ontario small town bicycle month?” He starting looking into options for Mississippi Mills to have its own bike month, and in June 2009, with the support of the town and a Transportation Canada grant, Bicycle Month was born.
BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – This summer both cycling and basketball will be celebrated throughout Mississippi Mills. The history of basketball is well known in Almonte, but what made the wheels start turning? What exactly is the history of the bicycle? Baron von Drais built what has been credited as the first bike in 1818. It didn’t have any pedals, so riders would push with their feet and then glide forward. It quickly became an upper-society craze in France. Sharon Babaian is a historian with the Museum of Science and Technology and author of a historical report about the bicycle. “Cycling is interesting because it’s one of those things that has these different phases and periods of popularity, but it never faded away” Babaian said. She said that the idea of human powered machines has been around for centuries in old drawings, but the first real machines were in the early 1800s. Early models weren’t the most efficient or safe contraptions. Builders had to establish basic principals of gravity and balance – while getting the machines to run with as little friction as possible. In the 1860s, builders were developing pedals for the bikes and getting ready for another surge in popularity. They developed a velocipede, with one large wheel in the front with attached pedals, and a small wheel in the back. After it was displayed at the Paris Exhibition in 1867, the craze set off again. “That spread to the United States, to Britain, all over the place,” Babaian said. Even though the design was not all that remarkable compared to the cycles seen on the roads today, “they sold dozens and dozens and hundreds and hundreds of them,” she said. As the 1870s hit, Britain had become the main manufacturer, and Canada was beginning to see cycling clubs pop up. For the most part, only men would ride bikes because of their height, and lack of skirts. Since “there were not enough people prepared to risk life and limb” to ride the bicycles, Babaian said, companies had
NOT JUST SPANDEX

Last year’s Bike Month in Mississippi Mills included a new use for pedal power: running a blender. It’s not what bicycle inventors might have envisioned, but it looks like fun. to focus on making the bicycle safer and more useful to women and young people. “If you hit something you did a header,” she said. “You would almost always go straight over the handlebars and be launched forward into the air.” BIKES AND TRIKES To make the bicycle safer, developers made multi-wheel – and multi-person – cycles. The tricycle and quadricycle had two variations, the sociable, where two riders sat side by side, and the tandem, where one rider sat behind the other. Mechanics were gaining knowledge of metalworking, so the bikes were getting stronger and lighter, Babaian said. By 1877 the first continuous train drive showed up on the quadricycle, but it was 20 years later before the familiar safety bicycle model was introduced. SAFETY FIRST Between 1885 and 1899 the basic formula for the bike people now use was created. Called the safety bicycle, it
had two similar sized wheels rotated by a chain, pedals and handlebars. Babaian said that several people have claimed to have invented the safety bicycle, as it’s called, but there is no evidence to support one creator. It was through these years that Canadian companies began to start creating their own bicycles. Companies such as MasseyHarris, which made agricultural equipment, started to expand their manufacturing power into bicycles. The profits were on fire, said Babaian. And so was the fad. Profits weren’t the only thing coming in. Bicycle criticisms had started, including from doctors who said women would turn into “horrible, nasty, women” from riding bikes, Babaian said. “There was a claim that if you ride your bike too much, you would get bicycle face,” she said. “A permanent incredibly strained look.” Bicycles beat the critics, and soon men, women and children alike were using bikes for transportation and leisure.
MODERN DAY Bikes started to dwindle in popularity as the car was invented, Babaian said. Bicycle clubs across Canada continued to thrive though, and began popping up all over. Though the current club is slightly over 25 years old, Almonte had its first bicycle club in 1900, keeping up with the rest of the country’s bicycle madness. “Then the 70s, 80s and 90s lead to a revival in people commuting by bicycle, said Babaian. “Which we are still seeing today.” 1985 saw the revival of the Almonte Bicycle Club, which started an annual Valley Rally cycling event – which ran up until the year 2000. The Almonte Bicycle Club continues to run today with over 40 members who work their way up to rides of 100 to 120 kilometres. BICYCLE MONTH Riding a bike is now something most people learn as a child and become used to seeing on the roads.
“It’s not about getting in Spandex on Saturdays,” Mills said. “What we tried to do was offer as many kinds of portals to cycling as possible.” Bike Month will once again feature events like bike polo, films nights, a bicycle rodeo and sponsored rides. Mills said the bike polo will be a highlight for some. “It’s more of a sport the way snowboarding was in its infancy,” he said. “It’s wild and crazy and lots of fun.” Now in its fourth year, Bicycle Month is growing bigger and more diverse. This year there will be some new events to look forward to. Almonte Olympian Perianne Jones will be visiting her hometown during June and will lead rides for future Olympic hopefuls and their families and a training ride. There will also be new bicycle tours through Almonte, with a variety of themes. Tours will include a Mississippi Mills garden tour, architectural tour, and local growers farm gate tour, which will start at the Almonte Farmers’ Market. “It’s pretty cool for a town this size to take this on,” Mills said. Cycling has grown into more ways than Baron von Drais could have imagined when he invented his gliding machine in the 1800s. Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month has a packed calendar of events that include the weekend warriors to children on training wheels, and everyone in between. “This project is like a giant month-long potluck supper,” Mills said, “with whatever community groups want to bring to the table.” For more information and a calendar of events, visit www. mmbicyclemonth.ca

Gillies kept the building for his own business usage, using it to manufacture mill machinery and small machine engines. The waterfront location didn’t serve Gillies as well as he would have liked, as the property deed entitled Archibald McArthur control of the water on his property across the way, as well as on Gillies’ side. The property was purchased by Bates and Innes Mills for felting operations after Gillies died. Currently, Powerbase Energy Systems Inc. rents the office space. “The building has been here forever,” said realtor Matthew Firestone from Century 21 Explorer Realty, who is selling the building. The four-storey building has been converted into office and factory space, and the real estate agent is hoping to sell it as an office. Firestone said he had shown it to several interested parties, but could not say who the new owner of John Gillies’ 136-yearold property might be.

Eastway plans to add more jobs
Appleton resident concerned about well water quality CATHY JAMES An Appleton resident is concerned about her home’s water quality and says a proposed property development in her neighbourhood will further reduce the quality. Michelle Niefer spoke to the Lanark County council at its May 4 community development meeting to express her discontent with the application to develop five lots in her neighbourhood. She insists it will affect the area’s water quality. “Twenty-eight years ago, I was the third house on the street and it has since grown,” she said. “Since then the quality of water has gone downhill.” She said water testing results demonstrate a decreased quality of water over the past three decades, as her well is now pulling water from another aquifer. Holding onto a mason jar filled with water, she pointed to black particles lying along the glass bottom. “This is my water,” she told councillors. “It’s not just myself who is concerned about the five new properties, some of my neighbours are as well.” Planning consultant Kevin Mooder then presented his recommendation to council to go forward with the subdivi-
sion application, which has been in the works for more than two years. The proposed development would extend Hillcrest Drive in Appleton, making room for five single-family homes. When the application was initially submitted in 2008, the conservation authority raised concerns about its water quality parameters and proximity to the Appleton swamp. To address this concern, the developers drilled a separate well for each property. SEPARATE WELLS “The applicant decided to put a well on every lot, therefore there is no interference with existing neighbours’ quality and quantity of water,” Mooder said. Testing revealed the new wells do not affect neighbouring wells, including Niefer’s water supply. “This puts Mrs. Niefer’s concerns to rest,” Mooder said. The applicant’s agent, Bill Holdsmen, then spoke to council. He outlined the applicant’s efforts to appease concerns, completing a series of reports, including a hydro-geological report. “The conservation authority and town was concerned, but now they’re satisfied with these efforts,” he said.

Mooder recommended council approve the draft subdivision application, so long as the developers adhere to the 23 conditions outlined in the draft approval. Such conditions include that the properties are at least 30 metres back from the wetlands as well as prepare and submit a storm water plan. Councillors were concerned about the new wells’ effects on adjacent properties, especially once they’re used on a daily basis. But Mooder reassured council they would have no impact on the neighbouring wells. Town of Mississippi Mills Mayor John Levi said the reports bring assurance. “Niefer’s house is 28 years old and these wells have nothing to do with degradation of her water quality,” he said. “We are not being supportive of this development.” Council passed a motion supporting Mooder’s recommendations and will vote on the motion at the end of the month. Following Mooder’s presentation, Niefer told the Canadian-Gazette she still isn’t convinced the property development won’t diminish her water quality. “I think it will still have an effect,” she said.
STAFF CARLETON PLACE – Eastway Emergency Vehicles opened shop on Industrial Avenue in April, and hiring has continued since then, says company president Neil Greene. “We’ve hired four people since and we hope to hire several more,” Greene said earlier this week. The company purchased a building on almost three hectares of land earlier this year, and has already turned down an offer to sell some of the land. Greene said he’s thinking about the longterm plans for the company. “We’re not going to sell, in case we ever need it,” he said. “We’re good for a while.” He said the company – which manufactures firetrucks – moved some operations to Carleton Place from an Ottawa site. “It’s been very busy,” he said of the set-up process in Carleton Place. “We’re at about 65 per cent production right now.”

Kids in the House, a Trudeau’s return?
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says
T
he joke going around Parliament Hill is that most of the new MPs on Parliament Hill are the class of 2011. Unless you’re a New Democrat. Then, you’re likely to be called part of the Kindergarten Class of 2011. In fact, you could say that parliament’s Quebec caucus is brought to you by the letters N, D and P, and the number 102. But jokes aside, a lot of the conversation since election night has been about the NDP, and well it should be, considering their best-ever showing, making them Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. It is good news that the new MP from Sherbrooke – Pierre-Luc Dusseault – is Canada’s youngest-ever MP at age 19. Overall, four students from Montreal’s McGill University are now headed to Ottawa. In spite of the jokes about the Honourable Member for Las Vegas, Ruth Ellen Brosseau, seeing so many young people on the benches will change how young people view politics. No more turning on the parliamentary channel to see a sea of wrinkles and grey hair, but scattered about, people who look and sound like them. Yes, some will disappoint, but many will rise to the occasion. Sometimes, people succeed best against lowered expectations. Who’s to say that there might not be a future prime minister amongst this crop of young people, not just in the NDP ranks? In all of this though, whither the Liberals? Once one of the most successful political parties in the western world, the Liberals now have only 34 seats in the House of Commons. While it is too early to tell who will lead the party’s decimated ranks, we again come to the issue of youth and a humble suggestion – why not Justin Trudeau for interim leader? It would show the electorate that the Liberals too are serious about young people. Former prime minister Jean Chretien has been touting former Ontario premier Bob Rae as interim leader, but Rae would be better as the party’s future, full-time leader. He may come across as cold, impersonal, and a terrible economic manager. But consider where his party is, and the not-so-obvious intellect and talent he has on hand, and he may have the stamina to take on such a thankless task. He’s done it before – sure, didn’t he used to run the Ontario NDP?

LETTER
Thank you from Mississippi Lake RV Resort To the Editor: Much of Carleton Place was affected by the aggressive storm that occurred on April 28. Mississippi Lake RV Resort was no exception. The aftermath left us with dozens of trees down, hydro poles on the ground and an immense amount of debris. Over the last week and a half, crews have worked tirelessly to aid in clean up to get us up and running for the much anticipated 2011 season. The outpouring of help and words of encouragement has been overwhelming. We would like to take this opportunity
to thank those folks who have helped us during this trying time. As always, we have been able to depend on the fast and exceptional workmanship of many people, including Andrew and Curtis at Canadian Tire’s automotive department in Carleton Place. After I got a flat tire on my tractor, which crippled my clean-up efforts, you both went out of your way to ensure it was repaired immediately. Without the help of everyone, we would not be where we are right now. Here’s to a great 2011 season! Kelly Haime Beckwith Township

The fat lady may not have sung yet for proportional representation (PR), but I think I can hear her warming up in the wings. Many of you will remember that this issue was put to bed here in Ontario four years ago with our first provincial referendum since the 1920s. Only five ridings in the whole province, all in the Toronto area, voted to change our system of how we elect our MPs and MPPs. Elsewhere this decade, two referendums in British Columbia and one in Prince Edward Island have seeminly nailed the coffin shut on PR coming to a polling booth near you any time soon. Last week, we saw a Conservative majority government elected - with 39 per cent support. Stephen Harper deserves to be in the driver’s seat, but it’s a little disproportionate. Even the election of Elizabeth May as Canada’s first elected Green MP showed that, yes, the Greens can see the inside of parliament and don’t need PR. Still, after nearly seven years of miniority rule, Canadians were weary and wanted an end to this cycle of brinksmanship. Later the same week, on May 5, Britons went to the polls and defeated a referendum on PR by a huge margin, about 60 per cent to 40. Only 10 areas voted for PR - places like Oxford, Cambridge and Lambeth, mostly intellectual or university settings. But, here’s the interesting thing. The British Liberal Demcrats were heavily pushing for a Yes vote in the PR referendum. Now that they have failed, according to The Guardian, the party, in a coalition government with the Conservatives (not sure if it’s a coaliton of the “reckless” kind), is now going to push for reform of the House of Lords, their upper chamber, calling it archaic. And what of Stephen Harper, who promised an elected and accountable senate, lo those many years ago? Ah, yes. Cue the chirping of crickets from 24 Sussex.

Appleton gets own exhibit at museum DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
APPLETON – The village of Appleton will get its moment to shine as the subject of the first exhibit of the North Lanark Regional Museum’s 2011 season. The official opening for both the museum and the Memories of Appleton exhibit will be Sunday, May 22 at 2 p.m., at 647 River Rd. Light refreshments will also be served. The exhibit will feature displays of old photos and artifacts connected with the history of the village. The launch will feature a chat by long-time Appleton resident Eleanor Wright, who will discuss living in Appleton village. “It just seemed to be the time to do it,” said Ed Wilson, president of the North Lanark Historical Society. “Eleanor Wright has lived in Appleton village her whole life…She’s just amazing. She knows people that were there since forever.” This year is also important because it marks the 175th anniversary of the establishment of Ramsay township. Wilson noted that Appleton was a thriving community, and was originally called Appletree Falls, and later Teskeyville. By the 1870s, it was home to more than 600 residents, and had: • Several mills. • A tannery. • A cheese factory. • Two black smiths. • Two churches. • A general store. • A post office. • A municipal hall. Wilson noted that the society recently took possession of an old pipe organ that had once been set up in one of Appleton’s churches, which will be on display a the museum. “We’re going to have it upstairs,” said Wilson. “There’s two pedals – one works. We’re hoping to have it working on May 22.” The organ was donated by George Monette. “That’s a significant item,” said Wilson. The Appleton exhibit continues on until June. Other displays on the history of Ramsay will be added in July and August. Wilson is hoping that the museum will be able to do more exhibits on the villages of Mississippi Mills, like Clayton and Blakeney. For more information, contact the museum by email at appletonmuseum@hotmail.com, or by phoning Doreen Wilson at 613256-2866 or Brian Tackaberry at 613-256-4221.

Carleton Place resident takes gold in U.A.E. Alison Tremblay and her coach Peter Tremblay travelled to the United Arab Emirates on April 11, to compete in the 2011 World Professional Jiu Jitsu Cup. Arguably the most prestigious tournament in the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the cup attracts the top competitors in the sport from around the globe. The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, holds a series of trials around the world in which he sponsors the winners of each of the absolute divisions to travel to travel to the U.A.E. to compete
in the World Professional Jiu Jitsu Cup. Only three of these trials were held in North America in 2011, and through her win at the New Jersey trial, Tremblay became one of three athletes to be sponsored to compete. With over 20 of the best competitors in her division gathered from around the world, Tremblay performed incredibly, finishing in third place. Tremblay dominated her first opponent, from the U.A.E., and her next opponent, from France. Gaining momentum by the third round, Tremblay fought a strong match
against an athlete from Spain, finishing ahead on points. In her semifinal match, Tremblay came out strong against the much heavier opponent . However, in the end, she narrowly lost on points. Through her efforts, Tremblay took away bronze. Overall, the trip proved to be a success for Alpha Mixed Martial Arts, on the strenghth of Tremblay’s performance. Alison Tremblay had a successful trip to the United Arab Emirates. Submitted photo

Participants in the Skills Link program through Perth’s Youth Action Kommittee provided input on addiction from the perspective of Lanark County’s young people. Nineteen-year-old Tyler Gaylord said he believes one of the biggest myths about addiction is that is a youthoriented problem. “It’s more than just youth who are troubled,” he said. “It’s everybody.” There are currently five municipal drug strategy groups in the Lanark County area, which operate in Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills, Beckwith Township, Lanark and another group that encompasses Tay Valley, Drummond North Elmsley and Perth. A meeting for parents in the region is being planned, which is expected be held at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place.

People struggling with addiction now have one more place to go for help, thanks to a methadone clinic that opened in Smiths Falls on May 2. The facility is equipped to service up to 200 patients, said Dr. George Kolbe, one of the doctors behind the initiative. It is located at 13 William St. Kolbe spoke during a meeting on prescription painkiller abuse in Lanark County, at the Perth Civitan Hall on May 6. The meeting, hosted by the Lanark County and Town of Smiths Falls municipal drug strategy committee, is the seventh meeting on prescription painkillers the group has held in the past two years. The audience consisted of parents, youth, police and other members of the community. Kolbe said the new clinic will help Perth and Smiths Falls residents, who often had to travel to larger centres such as Brockville and Ottawa in order to reach a methadone clinic. “Some were hitchhiking throughout the winter,” he said. Kolbe said his biggest message to the crowd at the meeting was the role shame plays in addiction. People who need help are often afraid they will
simply be seen as an “addict,” and many won’t seek the help they need, even for other medical conditions. “I think that’s one of the biggest barriers to accessing treatment,” he said. The fear of this stigma can be so debilitating, Kolbe said sometimes people won’t go to the hospital even for a medical emergency. “They will put themselves at huge risk to avoid being viewed as an addict,” he said. “Even patients that have a serious medical issue, I literally have to force them to go.” Reducing the stigma about addiction is key to treatment, and Kolbe likened current public perception about addiction to how mental health issues were perceived two decades ago. Public education and other advancements since that time have helped people realize depression and other mental health issues are medical conditions.

What Can Investors Learn from Maple Syrup Producers? Here’s a fun fact: Canada produces about 80% of the world’s supply of maple syrup, according to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. And we’ve just finished the big production season, which runs from February through April, so now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of our labours. Even if you are not personally involved in making maple syrup, you can apply some of the lessons of its creation to other aspects of your life — such as your investment strategy.

RV park blames flooding on MM field Public works officials from both Beckwith, MM on hand for fact-finding visit DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – BECKWITH TOWNSHIP – Public works officials from both Beckwith Township and Mississippi Mills converged on their joint border last week to find out what was causing flooding at the Mississippi Lake RV Resort. Richard Haime, owner of the park, is blaming a vacant field on the north side of Town Line Road for flooding his Mississippi Mills property. “All of this guy’s water is pouring down here,” said Haime, standing in the middle of the road with the officials on May 6. “It’s pouring onto our property. You’re ruining my business. It (happens) every, every year.” Haime claimed that his park sustained more than $100,000 in damage after last month’s severe windstorm and that the damage, coupled with the flooding, has pushed back the park’s opening by at least three weeks. Troy Dunlop, Mississippi Mills director of roads and public works, said that the culvert that runs underneath the road from the field to Haime’s property was most certainly not installed during the last eight years. “We can research the history,” Dunlop said, who added that this year has seen record amounts of rain as well. “This isn’t a municipal drain,” said Dunlop, pointing to the culvert. “It’s a natural water flow.” “It’s easy to throw up your hands and say it’s a natural water course,” replied Haime. “When they put the road in, they should have put it in higher. This stuff
comes up through my roads. It blows holes in my roads.” Dunlop repeated that he had no record of any municipality putting the culvert in. “Somebody’s opened that up,” charged Haime, pointing to his land near the drain. “It wasn’t there before. It was one of the county’s trucks that came in and did that,” to widen the ditch. Dunlop replied that the meeting had been pulled together in two days and that it would take some time to come up with some answers. “I’m paying my damn taxes to you guys to solve this,” said Haime. “There’s nothing more we can do (now),” said Mississippi Mills Mayor John Levi, on the scene, who later was taken on a private tour of Haime’s property to survey the water and wind damage. The meeting followed a presentation Haime gave to Beckwith Township council on Tuesday, May 3. “Close it off,” Haime said of the culvert at the council that night. “Make it so that the water stays in Mississippi Mills,” in the empty field. “There should be a municipal drain,” said Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd, who promised to then arrange a meeting with Mississippi Mills. “It can’t be a long, bureaucratic process,” Kidd added, stressing the need for action. “If there’s nothing over there, why not plug it up?” Haime added that he is now getting flies from the stagnant water caused by the flooding. “I’m getting it 24 hours a day,” said Haime.
• Don’t focus on just one area. Each year, when maple syrup producers tap a tree, they drill a hole in a new location; the old hole will produce sap for only one season, as the tree needs time to heal and recover. As an investor, you can also face problems by focusing on just one area. For example, if you invest only in aggressive-growth stocks, and a market downturn affects these stocks in particular, your portfolio will likely take more of a hit than if you had also invested in some less-aggressive stocks, bonds and other securities. Keep in mind that diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
Here are a few suggestions:
• Be patient. There’s no such thing as “instant” maple syrup. Generally, sugar maple trees require 20 years before reaching the size at which they can be tapped. As an investor, you also need to be patient before reaping the rewards of your efforts. In fact, many successful investors hold quality investments for several decades, all the while enjoying the potential benefits of growth, income or both. While there’s no guarantee that the passage of time will turn all investments into winners — and, as you’ve no doubt heard, “past performance can’t guarantee future results” — it’s nonetheless true that the longer you hold quality investments, the better your chances of overcoming short-term volatility and achieving positive results.
• Provide the right environment. Basically, eastern Canada and the northeastern and midwestern U.S. are the only areas on earth with the geology, climate and soils necessary for a sap flow sufficient to produce viable amounts of maple syrup. To achieve your financial goals, you also need to ensure the right “environment” for your investments. That means you must provide the right “nutrients” by staying invested through up and down markets, and you need to avoid “toxins” such as chasing after hot stocks or taking on excessive risk.
• Cultivate the right skills. Maple syrup producers must know exactly what they’re doing, from boring holes, inserting taps and collecting the sap to boiling it off and filtering and bottling the syrup. As an investor, you, too, must know what you’re doing. You must choose a mix of investments suitable for your risk tolerance, time horizon and longterm goals, and you must adjust your investment mix over time to accommodate changes in your life. As the investment world is not always easy to navigate, you may want to work with a professional financial advisor to help ensure you make the right moves at the right times.
You may never tap a maple tree, but by tapping into some of the techniques used by those who do, you can make progress toward “sweetening” your investment results in the years to come.

Condo apartment block planned for Coleman Street STAFF
Photo by Desmond Devoy
HERE’S LOOKING AT YOU Kathleen Nicholson of 2 Birds In The Hand shows off a hat she designed, which was on sale at the Handmade Harvest Craft Sale at the Almonte Agricultural Hall on May 7.
CARLETON PLACE – A developer is seeking approval to build a threestorey condominium apartment building at 240 Coleman St., between McNeely and Park avenues. Andrew Cinnamon, a developer who has built similar apartments in Kemptville, would like to construct the 46-unit apartment building, and hopes to begin work this summer. His company is called Park View Homes, which operates out of North Gower, in southern Ottawa. Apartment construction on the Coleman Street site, which covers just under two hectares, meets the requirements of the town’s official plan and its designation for residential development. Cinnamon’s application to start work was discussed at a May 3 planning and protection committee meeting. An agent speaking on behalf of Cinnamon called the condo apartment plan “fairly unique” as it has underground parking for 30 cars, as well as 42 spots above ground. He said the market for condominium apartments is strong, with many ma-
ture couples and young families keen to buy. The property has already been cleared and a wooden perimeter fence is being installed. The company hopes to begin occupancy in mid-2012. Concept drawings displayed at the committee meeting showed an apartment block with balconies, mixed siding materials, and a shingle roof built with many different angles and overhangs. The appearance was commended by some members of council. The development plans drew some questions and comments from members of the public. One asked about the risk of the land draining onto nearby properties, but was told the Park View Homes site must meet planning requirements to contain its own runoff. Town staff also confirmed that there is enough capacity in existing water pipes beneath Miguel Street to supply the future condo occupants. The development application was expected to be discussed by town council on Tuesday, May 10, at which time the application could be approved.

Gratitude walk raises organ, tissue donation awareness Afghan-Canadian wanted to see more of his country, outside of big cities DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – The best way to see the country – especially your new, adopted homeland – is by foot. And if, by going down the road, you also raise awareness for organ and tissue donation, so much the better. “I’ve been meaning to do it a long time ago. I wanted to see what was outside of Toronto,” said Shaheem Joya, an Afghan refugee who is walking from Ottawa to Queen’s Park in Toronto to raise awareness of this good cause, and to show his gratitude to Canadians. “I’ve been sitting a lot for the last four months for school,” he said with a laugh, as he finished off a meal at a fast food restaurant in Carleton Place, having hiked down the Trans Canada Trail from Stittsville on May 6. Joya left Parliament Hill on May 5 and headed towards Stittsville. “When I left Ottawa, at night, I just ran out of gas,” said Joya. “In Stittsville, there is no hotel. I have a sleeping bag, so I found a quiet place to sleep.” Joya stayed at the Baron’s Motor Inn on Highway 7 for free, thanks
to the generosity of the owner, before heading on to Smiths Falls. He had helped his sister move to Ottawa when she started studies at the University of Ottawa. Rather than take Highway 416 up to Ottawa, he chose to drive through Smiths Falls. “We stopped off in Smiths Falls. I said, ‘Where are the falls?’” Joya recalled. “Maybe they are hiding, maybe they are small?! It’s still a beautiful place.” After Smiths Falls, Joya headed off to Jasper, Ont., before heading south to meet up with Highway 2. He will pass Kingston, Trenton, and Coburg, before reaching Queen’s Park in Toronto by May 21, and shedding a light on the nearly 4,000 Canadians who are in need of donations. “It’s been good,” Joya said of his journey so far. “People are kind, helpful, they cheer you on.” This is not the first major journey Joya has been on. Born in the Afghan capital city of Kabul in 1983, he left Afghanistan when he was three years old, to escape the fighting between the Afghan mujahedeen and the Soviets. His family

Walking for organs, gratitude Continued from page 14 moved to Peshawar, Pakistan, loading everything they owned onto three donkeys and a horse, and escaping through the mountains along mountain passes. The Joya family moved to Canada in December of 1996. His family settled first in Montreal, before leaving for the Toronto suburb of Scarborough with his five sisters and two brothers. He actually looked forward to seeing snow up close, and hearing it crunch underneath his feet, as he had seen in movies. After high school, Joya attended the University of Toronto where he completed an undergraduate degree in genetics. He continued his studies in the master’s program at U of T in cell biology, before taking an interest in law, and working at a law office in 2008. He decided to pursue a legal life, and was accepted to McGill University’s law school in Montreal, where he has just finished his second year. Once he wraps up
his walk, he will be interning at a law firm over the summer, and he hopes to concentrate on intellectual property law. Joya returned last year to Afghanistan, to see Kunduz province in the country’s north where his mother and father were born, raised, and got married. While he was delighted to see long-lost relatives, he was intrigued by their interest in his new, adopted homeland. “When I went to Afghanistan, everybody asked ‘What is it like in Canada?’” he said. “When I came back, I realized why people like going to the west, to Canada. It seems like everybody wants to be here.” Replicating his awareness walk in Afghanistan would be frought with dangers, which is partially why Joya is so glad to be in Canada. “I’m walking from one place to another and no one is going to bother me,” said Joya. “That’s a big thing, to be able to walk in security. I am grateful for where I am in life, from where I started.”

Vegas-bound gymnasts set to take on the world GEOFF DAVIES geoff.davies@metroland.com
It’s business time for five of Lanark County’s finest young athletes. The girls, all between the ages of 12 and 16, are training full-tilt for their July journey to Las Vegas. There, on seven square metres of sprung hardwood floor, under bright lights, rolling cameras, and the crowd’s gaze, they will face off against aerobic gymnasts from across the globe. It’s the world championships of their sport, and it’s fast approaching. The team is now training 15 hours a week, but they’re all smiles, and they’re definitely not nervous. “Getting on the big floor with all the lights and all the craziness, that’s the best part,” said Kasey Whalen, 16, of Almonte, in a pre-practice interview. “You feel like you have fireworks in you.” You might even take Whalen’s words literally after seeing an aerobic gymnastic performance. ‘COMPLEX, DYNAMIC’ As soon as the music starts, the athlete explodes. From that moment on, they’re bouncing constantly, like a basketball with batteries, pausing only for a display of mid-air splits or to hold and impressive pose on the ground. “It’s complex, dynamic movement,” said their coach, Louise Miller, defining a sport that’s been around since the late 1980s. “It has to be big, it has to be showy.” In Canada, though, the sport is just over a decade old, Miller said. That’s also about how long Miller has been working with this team of girls, since some were as young as three years old. The team going to Las
Vegas consists of Katrina Wright, 16, of Perth; Andrea Reith, 15, of Perth; Allison Tolgyesi, 14, of Almonte; Kailey Sweeney, 12, of Almonte; and Whalen. In Perth, they train under the name Saltos Athletics. But in Las Vegas, in their sport’s world championship event, they’ll be known as Team Canada. “We are the only Canadian national team. There are recreational programs that are popping up throughout Canada, but we are the only competitive national-level program,” said Miller. Miller herself is largely to thank for that. She is the sport’s most qualified coach north of Mexico. Selected and sponsored by the Canadian gymnastics authority, she has completed two of the three tiers in the Fédération Internationale Gymnastique’s coach training program. That’s more than any other coach in Canada or the United States, she said. Not bad for someone who first learned aerobic gymnastics from books and videos. Saltos first opened in 1997, and since then Miller has grown the club to include about 150 athletes training in various gymnastic disciplines, hip-hop dance, and cheerleading. They hail from all over the region, from Lombardy to Lanark. But, Miller admits, the aerobic stream is her primary focus, and has been for some time. Aside from the five-girl national squad, Miller also trains a younger quartet of provincial competitors. In fact, she’s recently back from a trip to Washington, D.C., with them all in tow. The provincial squad – consisting of Hannah Adrain, Tessa O’Collin, Chloe Lynn and Gillian Bentley – and the national team went, along with three U.S. clubs, to what Miller describes as an “invitational,
workshop-style event”. More than just a fun adventure, it also afforded the girls an opportunity to practice on a proper, competition-quality gymnastics floor. Made of hardwood planks on top of springs, these can cost as much as $25,000, so none exist north of the border, Miller said. The trip was especially important for the five preparing for the world championships, as they got direct feedback on their performances from qualified judges. “Normally, you don’t speak to the judges,” said Miller. PAN-AM With a trip last November to Brazil, for the national squad to compete at the Pan-American games, Miller has logged a lot of miles lately. “In order to get good competition, we have to travel outside of Canada right now,” she said. There, all five finished in the top 10 of their category, qualifying them for the Las Vegas event. In the past, no more than two of Miller’s athletes have qualified, a fact that adds extra weight to this year’s accomplishments. With so much athletic prowess, it’s no wonder the girls developed a fan-club while overseas: a small pack of Brazilian boys, who would chase them around, armed with only an English dictionary. “I was starting to get in bodyguard-mode because they were getting a little harassing, but it was entertaining…they kept singing Justin Bieber songs, because, of course, Justin Bieber is Canadian,” Miller said. “There’s a lot of craziness when travelling with five teenagers, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Franktown run attracts two paralympians DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
FRANKTOWN – The Where’s Franktown? Run, sponsored by Calvary Christian Academy, was held on Saturday, May 7, and attracted hundreds of runners from as far away as Quebec and Kitchener, Ont. Funds raised from the race – used by many area runners as a training run for the upcoming Ottawa race weekend – went not only to the school but to help pay for training and travel costs for Carleton Place-based blind paralympic runner Noelle Klawitter. She was joined by fellow paralympian Leah Robinson of Kitchener, who placed fifth in the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, China. The results of the three races were: 15 km race (68 runners in total) 1. Andrew Roberts (55:46.3) 2. Andrew Armstrong (56:22.3) 3. Steve Cann (56:38.6) 10 km race (84 runners in total) 1. Tommy Des Brisay (34:39.0) 2. Jon Ruddy (35:25.9) 3. James Harrington (37:38.9) 5 km race (308 runners in total) 1. Frank Wright (18:38.4) 2. Jackie Bonisteel (19:15.7) 3. Graydon Almsted (19:22.8)

New Home Warranty
NC)—To protect the warranty that you are entitled to as the owner of a newly built home in Ontario, routine upkeep is essential. Improper maintenance, or just plain neglect, can result in damages that your warranty won’t cover. Tarion Warranty Corporation, the non–profit, private corporation established in 1976 to protect new home buyers according to the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act, suggests the following tips to help prevent moisture damage: OUTSIDE THE HOME • Fix the caulking around windows and doors and on the roof if it becomes cracked or separated. • Keep flowerbeds and landscaping at least six inches or 150 mm away from the top of the foundation. Placing soil near or above the top of the foundation allows moisture to come into direct contact with the structure of the home. • Clear eavestroughs of debris regularly and extend downspouts so that water is directed away from your home. Water that flows around the foundation could
eventually find its way into the basement. • Have your roof inspected regularly to ensure shingles, flashing and chimney caps are in place and sealed properly. INSIDE THE HOME • In the summer, dehumidify the basement to avoid condensation buildup on the cool foundation walls.
systems in your new home – including heating, electrical, plumbing and air conditioning – will both help safeguard your warranty and ensure you enjoy your home to the fullest. A more detailed Home Maintenance Checklist can be found online at www.tarion.com. If you have any questions about your warranty, contact Tarion at 1–877–982–7466.
• Repair leaky pipes and fixtures immediately. Clean and completely dry any areas that are dampened or wet within 48 hours. • Investigate and identify any musty smells and odours. They are often an indicator that there is a hidden moisture problem. • Purchase a “hygrometer” to monitor the relative humidity in your home. Ask your builder about additional maintenance tips. He may also be able to provide information about proper maintenance for specific products provided by manufacturers. Knowing how to properly operate all the

Snoopy and the gang play at Notre Dame ‘You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown’ featured at high school last Thursday through Saturday BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy and Sally were all joined by their friends to put on You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown at Notre Dame Catholic High School, Wednesday through Friday. They put on three evening shows, and five day time performances for feeder schools like St. Mary’s Catholic School, who got to walk over and take in the show on Thursday morning. The biggest laughs from St. Mary’s came whenever Snoopy, played by Josiah Jones, took the stage. Amanda Clement stood out as Lucy, and had a lot of laughs for her performances with Shroeder, played by Lucas Lesperance. The play also stared Gage McRae as the title character, Charlie Brown, Madison Rousselle as Sally and Connor Lyon as Linus. The performance differed from the usual high school play that is longer and “more Disney like,” said director Dimitrios (Jim) Giannarapis. “It was a breakaway from past shows and a little bit different,” he said. The performance was a series of short scenes, ranging from about 20 seconds to three minutes. The scenes were classics from the Charlie Brown series, created by cartoonist Charles Schulz.
The musical was adapted by Clark Gesner in the 1960s, but choreography and staging for Notre Dame’s show was all done by the students. “I stepped back and watched it all happen,” said Giannarapis. Scenes ranged from Shroeder’s distaste of Lucy’s musical marriage proposals, to Snoopy’s song-anddance number about the happiness of suppertime. All the while, Charlie Brown tries to make sure he is, in fact, a good man and pursues the little red haired girl. And it was a happy ending, as Lucy got the closing line after Charlie Brown lead the group in song. “You’re a good man, Charlie Brown.”

Students medal at Tech Skills Championships BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
A skill set is like a set of hands, was the theme of Katie McGregor’s podium winning speech. The Carleton Place High School Grade 12 student won a silver medal in prepared speech at the Ontario Technological Skills Competition in Waterloo last week. She used the analogy of hands to tackle the assigned topic Canada’s youth have the workplace skills needed for the future. The thumb was life skills – with other fingers representing technical skills, workplace skills, learning skills and social skills. Katie said the topics are similar from year to year, so in her third year, she had a new challenge. “It’s a fun challenge to make each year’s speech different,” she said. “Because in reality, these topics aren’t interesting.”

Katie McGregor, a Grade 12 student at Carleton Place High School brought home a silver medal in prepared speech at the Ontario Technological Skills Competition in Waterloo last week. Katie won the competition at the national level last year, and the defending champion had to face a new group at this year’s regional championships. Last year she automatically
won, as the only competitor, but this year she had to defeat the 10 other students competing in Cornwall in early March to qualify for provincials. Prepared speech is just one of many competitions held at the championships. Other categories include carpentry, hairstyling and job interviewing. Almonte and District High School took home a medal in the robotics competition. The team of students Warren Vibert-Adams, Blair Sonnenburg, Stuart Douglas and Derek Mavis brought back a bronze medal. Katie will head to the University of Toronto in the fall for International Development. She said she encourages students who haven’t participated in the skills competitions before to get involved because they are an amazing experience. “I get nervous just like anyone else,” she said.
Caldwell plans gala fundraiser BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – The price of lunches, hockey equipment and school supplies can sometimes get too costly for parents. Caldwell Street Public School will hold a fundraiser for Champions for Kids on May 19 to help solve the problem. The Upper Canada District School Board started the Champions for Kids program in 2008 to help out students or families who are struggling financially by providing equal opportunities. The program has funded summer camp, hockey, soccer and dance registration for students and helped with medical needs that aren’t covered by Ontario’s health care, such as glasses, dental care, or EpiPens. Caldwell will hold the fundraising gala from 5 to 7 p.m. at the school, located at 70 Caldwell St. in Carleton Place. “It conveys a very clear message to the parents in the school and our students that we really do care about them,” said teacher Donna Ward, who is the school’s Champions for Kids representative. “And that we are willing to provide for them so that they have as many opportunities.” The fundraiser is a community
event, and all are welcome to join staff and students in a barbeque and activities like wagon rides, a bike rodeo, book sale, craft table and more. Since Champions for Kids was founded, they have raised over $360,000 which has gone back into communities. FEW DENIED Children and families in need are recommended by teachers to principals, who submit names to the foundation. “In my administrators’ opinion, very few are denied if a need has been determined, Ward said. “The Champion for Kids foundation is happy to provide.” Ward said that the money raised goes into a common fund, which can be applied to students at any of the board’s 89 schools. Statistics have shown that 16 to 18 per cent of children in Eastern Ontario are living without basic necessities, Champions for Kids says on their website, championsforkids. ucdsb.on.ca It shows students that their teachers care about their success not just in the classroom, Ward said. “We not only care about the children here, but their life outside of school.”
Join us to celebrate the Almonte General Hospital’s 50th anniversary The Almonte General Hospital is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a community reception on Thursday, May 19, 2011. The reception will take place from 3-5 p.m. in the dining room of the old Fairview Manor. Highlights of the program will include remarks from special guests, including Carleton Mississippi Mills MPP Norm Sterling and Mississippi Mills Mayor John Levi. A commemorative plaque will be unveiled and light refreshments will be served. “We invite everyone to come out and celebrate this important milestone in the history of our hospital and our community,” said Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor CEO Mary Wilson Trider. The Almonte General Hospital, located at 75 Spring Street in Almonte, accepted its first patients on May 4, 1961. Ontario Health Minister Matthew B. Dymond, MD,

officially opened the hospital on May 31, 1961. Six beds were added to the Hospital in 1962, and a physiotherapy room was opened in 1965. In 1969 the Hospital purchased and installed two new diagnostic X-ray units.
During the 1980s, the Hospital opened the regional Obstetrical program and regional Day Hospital program. In 1982, Governor General Ed Schreyer and his wife, Lily officially opened the Hospital’s Rosamond Wing, which provides complex continuing care to patients. The Hospital began operating the Lanark County Ambulance Service in partnership with the County of Lanark in 2000. The $29-million Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor Redevelopment Project, completed in 2008, was officially opened by Premier Dalton McGuinty. The Redevelopment Project included the construction of a new 112-bed long-term care home and the expansion and renovation of the Hospital to include a new Emergency and Ambulatory Care Department, an expanded Obstetrical Unit and major renovations to its physical plant. A 15,000-square-foot covered link connects the Hospital, new Manor and old Manor buildings.

BECKWITH TOWNSHIP – The Township of Beckwith Township will not be borrowing any money to fund its 2011 budget. “This is what we came up with,” said Reeve Richard Kidd in presenting his budget to the township council on Tuesday, May 3. “We’re not borrowing any money this year.” The township is expecting total expenditures of about $6,166,158, with revenues from fees, grants and reserves totaling about $3,579,436. “Which means that we have to come up with $2,586,722,” said Kidd, which will likely come through taxes. According to budget documents released at the meeting, for every dollar paid by a residential homeowner, the township receives 36 cents. The county receives 42 cents and the school board 22 cents. One of the largest public works projects on the go is the anticipated improvement to the section of Seventh Line between Highway 15 and Tennyson Street. “It’s a road that definitely needs to be upgraded,” said Kidd of the projected $777,530 costs. “It has served us well.” Another upcoming cost is a dry fire hydrant, at a cost of $2,000, which the fire department is trying to add at the rate of about one per year. Projected costs to the fire hall itself on Ninth Line Road in Blacks Corners stand at $17,850. On the recreation side of the ledger, Kidd reported to council that the public works department will be trying to complete two kilometres of major trails this year, from Carleton Place to Beckwith Public School. The trail system will cost the municipality about $271,535 this year. The waste management fee stays where it has been since 2009, at $160, applying to residential properties only. Kidd explained that the reason why taxes were not going up this year was because of property assessments.
“The taxation is actually going down by 1.25 per cent, but that’s because of the increase in value (of homes),” he said. The average assessment of residential properties in Beckwith increased by 6.13 per cent this year, with new residential growth of 2.7 per cent projected for 2011. The total combined residential tax rate will decrease by 1.25 per cent this year. For a house valued at $100,000, the total municipal tax bill for 2010 would have been $1,040. This year, the same property valued at $100,000 would be $1,027. Final tax bill installments are due on June 22 and Sept. 21. The municipal offices will be open on

The Light Up the Night (LUTN) committee is hoping the residents of Mississippi Mills and area have yard sale fever Saturday, May 28, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., in the parking lot at Levi Home Hardware and Building Centre in Almonte. Yard sale enthusiasts can reserve a table by calling Calvin Murphy at 613-256-1077, ext. 24. Tables are $10. The year 2011 marks the 21st year that the LUTN commit-
tee will be hosting the musical Christmas show with Wayne Rostad and friends on Mill Street. The event, which will be held Friday, Dec. 2, attracts thousands of area residents. “The yard sale is one of our many fundraising events for LUTN,” said committee chair Nancy Fulton. “We rely on the generosity of the people to raise the necessary funds to bring great music and Christmas cheer to the community.”
The Almonte Civitan Club, tremendous supporters of LUTN, will be hosting a barbecue on May 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with all proceeds going to the musical show. The Cedar Hill Zion United Church Sunday school children will be hosting a bake sale with all proceeds going to CHEO.

Arklan jumps for a good cause On several occasions Arklan Community Public School students and staff members have shown that they have lots of school spirit and that they care a lot too. On April 1 the whole school participated in an initiative called Jump for Japan. Everyone in the school skipped, hopped and jumped their way to raising more than $985 to help Japan recover from the devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis.
Kathleen Thurston’s Grade 6 class held the responsibility of organizing the event. To prepare, they researched facts about Japan, made posters and designed a huge banner that said Jump for Japan, which decorated the gym. “It was really great seeing everyone be physically active and showing that they care at the same time,” said Grade 6 student Peyton McClelland.

Local 4-H club members take part in annual clipping clinic
Light Up the night yard sale May 28
On Sunday May 1, 4-H beef clubs across Ontario were united in the fifth annual 4-H clipping clinic at Burt and Nancy Grundy’s polled Herefords farm. Children ages nine and over attended the clinic to learn how to clip, groom and show either a Simmental or Hereford cow. After we finished clipping the cattle, there was a great presentation on sprays and all other equipment that any show farmer may need, including how to use the equipment. There was a good reason for them to tell us what to do in the show ring: we had to show some one-year-old cows! The cows were judged by a man named John Thurston.
He gave us some great advice to anybody who wanted to start judging. He said, “Don’t give up, and ask questions.” We would like to thank Jennifer Hess for organizing the fifth annual 4-H clipping clinic which was an amazing experience. Now to any past or present 4-H members this will sound very familiar: I pledge my head to clearer thinking; my heart to greater loyalty; my hands to larger service; my health to greater living, for my club, my community and my country.

Iain Davidson chosen as Legionnaire of the Year 2010 CARLETON PLACE – He joined the Legion in 2005 and almost immediately became involved with the welfare of branch 192 by joining the executive and has held a number of positions since. Our Legionnaire of Year sits on many committees. Throughout this past year he sat on the finance committee, the poppy committee, cenotaph restoration and rededication committee and still found time to sit on the ways and means committee. He’s worked tirelessly throughout the year and this was quite evident during the poppy season. He helped organize, worked many shifts distributing poppies and was instrumental in organizing the Remembrance Day ceremonies. He also sat on the committee for the Veterans Dinner. He’s volunteered at many a fundraiser, even going so far as to don some lovely gowns and beach
attire during the annual fashion show. Recently he took the time to Sweat for a Vet in order to help raise money for a defibrillator for the branch. If you haven’t already guessed who I am talking about, it is our president Iain Davidson. As anyone on the executive can attest, Iain is not afraid of hard work. It was not uncommon to see him in the back yard of the branch with a shovel or a rake in his hand helping to do some task, or helping in the front yard weeding flower beds. He will roll up his sleeves and ask - what do you need me to do, whether it be peeling potatoes in the kitchen or repairing something that has broken. He also volunteers at offsite functions such as Canada Day and Riverside Jam. Iain also spends quite a bit time doing his public relations thing, writing newspaper
articles for the local paper, doing up posters for various branch activities etc, in general just getting the word out. And he does all this while fulfilling his duties as branch president. Our zone commander Garry Pond has informed me that Iain completes all Legion correspondence, reports and paperwork in a timely and very professional manner. Iain gives freely of his time and his efforts are much appreciated and I feel he is quite deserving of this award. Iain it gives me great pleasure in presenting you with this award. Carleton Place Legion president Iain Davidson, right, has been named Legionnaire of the year by the branch, in large part for his many volunteer activities. Submitted photo

The end of April into early May brings red-coloured birds to our feeders, or on water near us. Two of these species are rednecked grebes and rose-breasted grosbeaks. On April 23, Clayton Lake, Bev Relfe took pictures of eight red-necked grebes. The picture was taken from their balcony as they were afraid these grebes would fly away if they went down to the dock. Just outside Carleton Place, on Mississippi Lake, Peggy Stewart called to report one of these grebes in front of her home, May 2. Three hours later, a second grebe appeared. Two days later, Georgina Doe and I went over to Peggy’s, hoping to spot one of these red-necked grebes also. We searched along the shores and did not see one. However, many buffleheads were swimming there, plus several common mergansers, greater scaup, and a pair of mallards, but no grebe. As we were packing our gear, Georgina had a last look. Wait
a minute she said, get the scope out again. There near shore was one red-necked grebe. We were very pleased. A belted kingfisher called as it flew by. The rose-breasted grosbeak is another bird with a beautiful deep pink bib on the male bird. The size and shape of the red patch varies considerably from male to male. The females are streaked, brown birds that resemble huge sparrows. In Almonte, Jim Robinson mentioned that they have had rose-breasted grosbeaks since May 1. Randy Marinelli, Beckwith Township, reported his first sighting on May 6. Our neighbours had these birds May 7. One male bird came to our feeder when I was at a meeting. At 5 p.m., May 7, I saw a rosebreasted grosbeak at our back feeder. The first ruby-throated hummingbird returned to Pakenham, seen by Ray Holland. By May 7, Ray had a Baltimore oriole in his yard. Please call Lynda: 613-256-5013, or email: Bennett@magma.ca, with bird reports.

Even though it is being held on Friday the 13th, the parents are hoping that a fundraiser to help their son, badly injured in a car crash, will prove to be a lucky evening. The fundraiser for Luca Ruggiero, who lives in Carleton Place, will be held at Sacred Heart High School, 5870 Abbott St. East, in Stittsville, on Friday, May 13, from 7 to 10 p.m. The evening will feature a rock concert with several high school bands, including the up-and-coming performers Open Sky, which organizers hope will appeal to younger people to get involved. There will also be a silent auction at the event. “I will share my story of hope, since my son has been at CHEO, and how people have reached out to us,” said Luca’s dad, Jimmy Ruggiero, who teaches special needs children at the school, and who also serves as a youth pastor at Chapel Ridge Free Methodist Church in Stittsville.
“He’s recovering quite well. We weren’t sure that he was going to make it through. He’s stabilized now.” He commended the Ottawa Catholic School Board for waiving all fees so that the event could be held at the school. Ruggiero will be attending the event with his wife Katie and daughter Alexis. The family moved to Carleton Place last August, but the family has been grateful for the support shown to them by their school, church and wider community. “It’s been encouraging,” said Jimmy. “It makes a difference to have people around you, knowing that they support you and are praying for you. People have been so amazing.” While he is eager to have his son home from hospital, there is a long medical road to recovery for his three-year-old boy, who is still in hospital in Ottawa. “It’s going to take time,” Jimmy said of Luca’s recovery. “It’ll take up to a year for him as an outpatient.”

CP Farmers’ Market moves to new digs DESMOND DEVOY
Tire site is being redeveloped by the town. “We have no choice but to move,” Dunlop said with a laugh. “We knew last fall, even before we ended last season, that the Canadian Tire building would be coming down. Wendy (LeBlanc), even before she became mayor, said it would be a priority to develop that site.” Dunlop assured shoppers that there would be plenty of sandwich boards at the old site to direct the forgetful to the new location. In 2010, the market had about 16 vendors, and a number of new vendors have signed on for 2011, including Tilly’s Steakhouse, which will bring a smoker on site. Chef Roger Weldon is promising sausage, pulled pork and even smoked chicken for hungry shoppers. “Provided the wind is blowing in the right direction, we should be getting a lot
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – If you go looking for fresh farm produce at the intersection of Beckwith Street and Lake Avenue East on Saturday, May 14, you’ll likely be disappointed. That’s because the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market will be taking up new – albeit temporary – residence at the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, 142 Franktown Rd., when it begins its summer season on May 14. It will be held at that location until mid-October, from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday. “They were kind enough to let us go over there free of charge,” said Scott Dunlop, the market’s president. “We hope we can do some cross-polination,” and bring business to the wool growers. The market’s old site at the Canadian
of people,” said Dunlop. Not only has vendor involvement and diversity increased, so too has the size and diversity of shoppers. “We used to get a lot of seniors, then socially-conscious families,” recalled Dunlop. “Now, it’s everyone. People are getting out of trucks with steel-toed boots,” to pick up some fresh vegetables. Opening day at the market will also mark the community garage sale. Last year, the market was able to raise $600 for the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. “It was a pleasant surprise,” Dunlop said of last year’s first-ever sale. “I think that that hospital is a gem. We get very good, quality service from the professionals there.” Dunlop is hoping to reach out to Carleton Place residents in the newer subdivisions who might not be familiar with
the farmers market in their very own backyard. “They have a surprised look on their face,” said Dunlop of first-timers. “They’ve lived in Carleton Place for years, and never knew about the market.” Dunlop would also like to tap in to the big flow of traffic along Highway 7, and divert some of those cars up Franktown Road to their market. In an email exchange with Norm Meyers, head of traffic at the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s eastern region engineering department, the ministry revealed that on Saturday, July 25, at a recording spot on Highway 7, 0.6 km west of Highway 7: • 1,342 cars were headed eastbound from 8 a.m. to noon. • 1,960 cars were headed westbound from 8 a.m. to noon, for a daily volume of 6,374 cars.
