Almonte man killed in crash DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

An Almonte man was killed in a road collision in Lanark Highlands Township on May 17. Carleton Place town councillor Doug Black identified the deceased as his nephew, 45-yearold Terry McDaniel. McDaniel has a son, Ryan, who is in his last year of high school. Black said that the family was still working on funeral arrangements as of Wednesday morning. “It was a shock, big time,” said Black, who was called out of the community issues committee at Carleton Place town hall when he learned of the news. The meeting was suspended out of respect for Black’s family. The Lanark County detachment of the OPP believes the crash occurred at 6:10 p.m. on Pinegrove Road, east of Lanark. Police believe that a car operated by McDaniel was heading eastbound and, failing to negotiate a curve in the road, it entered the westbound lane where it was struck by a second passenger car travelling westbound. “He was on his way to watch the hockey game with his dad,” reported Black. “We were outside of the town hall when the ambulance went by.” The driver of the other car was a 45-year-old Lanark-area woman who sustained non-lifethreatening injuries. She was taken by ambulance to Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital, after which she was airlifted to the Ottawa Hospital. McDaniel meanwhile succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Both drivers were the sole occupants of the vehicles. Please check www.yourottawaregion.com for updates on this developing story.

Focus on ending violence against women DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

ALMONTE – Charlie Sheen is the man. Or, at least the idea of what a “real” man is in the eyes of western cultural media. This past week, students from all over Lanark County met at a special conference convened by, and for, young people to discuss violence against women. While the conference, entitled “Where Is The Love?” and sponsored by Interval House women’s shelter, was a serious matter, the day was not without its moments of

humour. In assigning the discussion topic of what a “real” man was, the conference’s guest speaker, Michael Kaufman, co-founder of the White Ribbon campaign, had some rules for groups. “I don’t want you to be reasonable, thoughtful human beings (in your answers),” said Kaufman. “I want you to be a guy….whose ideas of what a real man is is based on what he sees in video games, TV shows, movies, music videos.” The students certainly did not disap-

point. Along with the Charlie Sheen answer, they responded that “real” men were… • Players. • Athletic. • Self-centred. • Rich. • Straight. • Always right. • Badass. • Straight up G. • Emotionally controlled. See VIOLENCE, page 3 468197

Continued from front And, of course, “real” men wear Old Spice. “Of course, we’re exaggerating this a bit,” said Kaufman. “We’re not supposed to feel emotional. Horny and hungry are not so much feelings as they are body functions.” He added that none of the “attributes” on the list was an accurate portrayal of what real men are like. Kaufman co-founded the campaign in the early 1990s with a municipal politician from Toronto who has since gone on to bigger things – NDP leader Jack Layton, now the leader of the opposition in Ottawa. When Layton’s name was mentioned, many students in attendance began clapping and cheering. “You’ll notice in the debates, Jack was the only one to speak out on violence against women,” said Kaufman. The men founded the campaign partially as a way to show that real men were opposed to violence against women, and as a reaction against the Montreal Massacre in December 1989 at L’Ecole Polytechnique. The two were challenged by some of the women in their lives, including Olivia Chow, Layton’s wife and now an NDP MP in her own right.

How do you spell “playah?”: Michael Kaufman, co-founder of the White Ribbon campaign, writes down one of the many irreverent comments gleaned from the conversation about what makes a “real” man, at the Where’s The Love? conference on May 11. “We know that you guys aren’t violent,” said Chow. “(But) why aren’t you guys coming out against violence against women?” The campaign has since spread around the world to more than 60 countries. “All over the world, we’ve got

a problem. It’s not a problem you created,” said Kaufman, speaking at the Almonte Civitan Hall on May 11. “When I was in high school, like, 300 years ago, we didn’t talk about dating violence,” said Kaufman. “We didn’t hold conferences like this.”

He pointed out that one in two women in Canada, has experienced some kind of violence at the hands of a man. “This doesn’t mean that 50 per cent of guys are violent. One man can be violent against more than one woman,” said Kaufman. “Violence is a human possibility, but it is not inevitable.” For teenagers, a flashpoint for harassment can be on the dating scene. He spoke to the young men in the room to let them know that getting a girl drunk in order to take advantage of her was not only immoral, but illegal. “You get someone drunk to have sex with her, that’s date rape, that’s sexual assault,” he said. But violence against women, usually at the hands of men, often starts earlier in life than that for some women, who saw their own mothers attacked by men for the most trivial of reasons. “Women who work at women’s shelters, they hear the most bizarre things,” said Kaufman. The women they work with hear that their men beat them for not properly ironing a shirt, for not having dinner waiting for them on the table, or because the children were being loud. Even with growing public awareness of the issue, Kaufman was incensed that portions of the legal community do not ap-

pear to have caught up with the rest of society. “To this day, it’s still difficult to get a conviction for sexual assault,” said Kaufman. “This violence happens because we let it happen.” He pointed to several high profile sexual assault cases. One judge in Winnipeg threw out a conviction because “he (felt the convict) didn’t have good moves, basically,” said Kaufman. A female judge in Montreal said that a young girl had been sexually assaulted because she had “dressed provocatively.” The Toronto resident also did not mince words when speaking about equality in relationships to the youngsters. “You’ve heard of that expression ‘My better half ’? It’s B.S. We’re all whole,” said Kaufman directly. “Relationships don’t complete us as a human being… If we want to end the violence, we have to end inequality.” Towards the end of his speech, Kaufman apologized for the failures of his generation in stopping the violence, and held out hope that this generation would finish the job. “My generation didn’t do a good enough job making sure you never had to witness that when you were little. I apologize,” said Kaufman. “You can do it a lot better than we did.”

Violence against women no laughing matter, teens learn

Schools share successes, frustrations of anti-violence campaign DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

ALMONTE – Even with a message as important as stopping violence against women, local teens are finding out that you can’t reach everyone. At a conference organized and attended by area youth at the Almonte Civitan Hall on May 11, a delegation from Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place told the packed “Where Is The Love?” conference that they couldn’t reach everyone. The Notre Dame White Ribbon campaign committee had organized a pledge to be taken around the school for students to sign, affirming that they would not be violent against women. “There were two people who didn’t sign it,” said Krista MacWilliams. “One guy, his argument was, ‘Oh, this is sexist, why isn’t it about guys too?’” said Mitchell McGregor. McGregor explained that “an overwhelming amount of violence is against women,” and after some more discussion, his fellow student did end up signing the petition. For McGregor and MacWilliams, it was harder to reach one female student. “Her logic was, ‘It’s none of my business,’” said MacWilliams. The committee had a goal of getting all 500-plus students to sign the pledge. Accounting for absences, and the refusal of one girl, they ended up getting 480 students to sign their pledge.

Notre Dame has also held dress-down days to raise money for Interval House women’s shelter, who also helped sponsor the conference. Other schools also shared their success stories and frustrations. “We decided to create T-shirts, black and pink, stating, ‘Dating violence is never OK,’” said Melissa Teal of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, who added that an anti-violence banner painted by students still hangs in the school’s main hall. Teal also related how her committee was able to spread their message of nonviolence through positive reinforcement. The committee travelled around the school asking students what they knew about the issue. “If they knew what it was, we gave them candy,” said Teal. “If they didn’t, we told them and then game them candy.” Brittany Young of Perth and District Collegiate Institute donated a cheque for Photo by Desmond Devoy $50 to Interval House, from their school Hands Up! Participants in the student-led Where Is The Love? conference raise their hands bake sale.

AGH Physiotherapists advise on how to ease into summer the SMART way Summer activities like gardening and golf improve flexibility, strength and endurance. However, you need to protect your body from strain and injury. Here are some tips from the Almonte General Hospital Physiotherapy Department on how to ease into summer activities the SMART way. S - Stretch - Begin with a warm-up. Stretch major muscle groups to prevent injury. Gardeners should warm up with easy raking or a five- to 10-minute walk. If you golf, practise your grip on the club and practise your back swing by raising the club to waist level and slowly increasing the height to a full swing. Start with lighter clubs first. Don’t forget to cool down; stretching during and especially after an activity goes a long way toward preventing strains and injury. M – Move - When raking or hoeing, keep the tools

close to the body and your back straight. Move your feet instead of twisting at the waist to decrease the strain. Use your arms to decrease twisting at the trunk. When weeding, don’t bend from the waist; squat or kneel on a pad instead. Know your limits when lifting. Keep the load close to the body, and use your legs not your back. Rehearse your golf swing to make it efficient and easy. Push your golf bag instead of pulling it. If you carry your bag, try carrying it over both shoulders and alternate sides. Learn the golfer’s bend to pick up your golf ball. A - Add it up - Pace yourself. Do more difficult tasks first, before you are tired out and more likely to overexert. Taking frequent stretch breaks, changing positions and tasks often will allow you to use different muscle groups and avoid overuse. Take breaks, rehydrate, and do gentle stretching to keep limber.

R - Reduce strain - Use ergonomic tools and techniques to reduce strain. Gardening tools with long or extendable handles reduce over-reaching and bending, especially when weeding and pruning. Use high potting benches. Using a foam kneeling pad to protect knees or a kneeling bench with handles to help you stand after kneeling are both good ideas. Try an ergonomic-handled rake. When golﬁng, use ergonomic equipment and always use clubs that are the right ﬁt for your body and level of expertise. Consider a golf bag that has wheels, which places less strain on the shoulders and back and provides a place to rest your foot, shift weight and decease strain. T - Talk to a Physiotherapist - Physiotherapists are mobility experts who can help you increase mobility and strength, decrease pain and improve balance and overall function. Enjoy your summer activities by being SMART.

Police take on stealth summer tactics BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

LANARK COUNTY – Police officers will be taking out multiple sets of wheels this summer. No, they aren’t trading police cruisers for convertibles – they’re trading the set of four wheels in for two bicycles. The Ontario Provincial Police has 20 authorized bicycle officers for Lanark, Almonte and Carleton Place this summer as part of the Lanark County bike safety initiative. The bicycles offer a lot of advantages for the officers, including connecting with the community. OPP officers Dave Bird and Rob Croth did a bike tour of Carleton Place on May 13, which included schools, parks and a cruise down Bridge Street. Croth said that multiple people stopped them to ask questions about police services or talk about issues that they wouldn’t have phoned in. “The key is to talk to people oneon-one,” Croth said. The bike officers provide an advantage to the 2011 property crime initiative, which includes the recently launched graffiti campaign. Since graffiti is more likely to

occur in uneasily accessible locations, bikes are useful along paths and parks and allow officers to closely monitor areas not accessible by cruiser. “The unique thing is it allows the surprise element,” said Croth. “We have the stealth element.” Bird said that the bikes work positively in two ways for the officers. While they are more visible to community members who want to see officers out, they are less visible than an approaching cruiser to people who don’t want to bump into law enforcement. A bike patrol can respond to all of the same calls a cruiser can, and OPP always have an officer who can respond in a cruiser if needed – demonstrated when Croth got a flat tire during his Carleton Place tour. With this week being Police Week, Bird said he was happy to increase bicycle visibility through bike rodeos and school visits. While the officers will be responding to normal police duties and calls, the bicycle officers will also make sure to enforce bike safety and laws, and encourage good safety practices. The wheels of justice will be seen around Lanark County right into the fall and Halloween.

‘You can take the list and start checking them off’ O’Connor anticipates flurry of legislation at Parliament BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

Armed with a majority mandate, the Conservatives head back to Parliament with a loaded legislative agenda. The House of Commons can expect a flurry of government bills during Parliament’s spring session said Gordon O’Connor, the newly elected MP of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. First on the agenda is the Speech from the Throne and the Tory budget, which had been stalled by the opposition parties, eventually triggering the May 2011 federal election. O’Connor said that a majority will prevent the opposition from delaying or killing the Tories economic and other legislative policies. “A majority means we don’t have to have an election (for four years),” he said. “It allows the government to think longer term.” It also means the passage of a lot of stalled Tory bills, added O’Connor, including an omnibus crime bill, the purchase of F-35 jets and the start of a campaign of spending cuts to eliminate the deficit by 2014. “We will implement what we said in the campaign,” he said. “You can take the list and start checking them off.” That list includes plans to scrap the long-gun registry and look at Senate re-

enlist the support of the provincial governments, he added. “There aren’t enough provinces online to amend CPP,” he said. Pension reform promises to be a big issue with an increasing number of seniors – 10 million within two decades – heading for retirement. “We have to think about how we’re going to look after these people in the future,” he said. The Conservatives will stack House committees to assure passages of government bills, said O’Connor. “When you have a majority governCarleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon ment you have majorities on all commitO’Connor tees,” he said.

But the federal government needs to under his belt.

The 71-year-old retired brigadier general was first elected to the House of Commons in 2004 and was re-elected during the 2006 and 2008 elections. He has served in Cabinet as Minister of National Defence, Minister of National Revenue and Minister of State and Chief Government Whip. The Tories ran on their record shepherding the economy through a recession and their budget plan for the next four years. “Keep the economy going, that was the main interest,” he said. The Conservatives aim to eliminate the deficit by 2014, after which they will increase the annual contribution limit to Tax Free Savings Accounts from $5,000 to $10,000. “It’s been very successful, it’s a good way for people to save money.” It should be interesting to face the NDP, which now holds the position of the Official Opposition after picking up 102 seats, said O’Connor. “They got 60 or so new members and a lot of youngsters who have no life experience and no parliamentary experience, so it will take a while for them to catch up.” O’Connor anticipates less drama in the House over the next four years. “A lot of these silly games will disappear in Parliament,” he said. “I think you’ll even see the question period quiet down.”

Vandals destroy downtown planter Downtown BIA co-ordinator calling on community to keep watchful eye and report suspicious activity DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – An area business leader is calling for increased vigilance after vandals caused more than $500 in damage to a planter near the downtown bridge. “This is out of control. We need the community to watch,” said Carleton Place Business Improvement Area co-ordinator Cathie McOrmond. “When you see that, call the police.” She is certain that more than one vandal was at work over the weekend, when both planters at the north end of the downtown bridge were knocked over, and one was badly damaged. “It would take intentional destructive behaviour to break that,” said McOrmond. “One person could not do it on their own…There’s no way one person did that.” McOrmond estimated that each planter costs about $500. She first saw the destruction this past Saturday morning, so the damage was likely done on Friday night. The planters were installed in 2010, “and we had just put earth in them.” Plants were due to be put into the planters on May 27, but those plans

are now in flux. “We have all of these people who volunteer for Communities in Bloom, are ready to help,” said McOrmond. A police report has already been filed through the town. This is the third time that the same planters were knocked over, but it is the fist time that permanent damage has been done to one of them. McOrmond wouldn’t say whether she believed that it was the same people responsible for the actions. McOrmond said that she believed the vandals deliberately broke the planter this time as an act of defiance against her group for continually correcting the planters. “You guys keep putting it back up, so we decided to break it,” she said, which runs counter to the normal notion of repairing damage and removing graffiti as soon as possible to deter repeat attacks. “Be active community watch members, report it to the police,” said McOrmond. “We need to take an active role in addressing this type of behaviour.” But McOrmond remained defiant in the face of hooligans who wish to destroy her efforts to beautify the Photo by Desmond Devoy downtown. “It won’t stop it,” she said. “We’re Vandals knocked over both flower pots at the north end of the downtown bridge in Carleton Place still a beautiful community.” overnight on May 13, causing significant damage to one.

A holiday steeped in British tradition

Republican rogues gallery of candidates DESMOND DEVOY Des Says

ictoria Day is our gateway to the summer season after a brutally long winter. We head to the cottage, the beach, go on a road trip or host a back yard barbecue. Whatever your reason to celebrate this weekend, we often forget why we have this holiday. What we are really celebrating on this May long weekend – now some 110 years after the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 (she was born on May 24, 1819) – is the birthday of whichever monarch happens to be on the throne at the time. Lumping all the monarchs’ birthdays together seemed to be the way to go. Victoria Day has also been known as the Queen’s Birthday, Empire Day, and Commonwealth Day. The holiday name was changed to Empire Day in the 1890s when enthusiasm for the British Empire was at a peak. By the mid-20th century, however, the Empire had given way to the Commonwealth, so the holiday became known as Commonwealth Day. In 1977, Commonwealth Day was moved to the second Monday in March and Canadians continued to celebrate Victoria Day in May. Victoria was born Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg at Kensington Palace in London, the daughter of Prince Edward and granddaughter of King George III. Towards the end of George III’s life it became a matter of some concern that none of his 15 children had heirs. George’s eldest son George IV took the throne after his father’s death. However, due to the death of George IV’s daughter Charlotte in 1817 and the fact that he was estranged from his wife, the succession was still in question. Under pressure from Parliament and the public George III’s fourth oldest child Edward married the German princess, Victoire of Saxe-Coburg. She was 31 years old. On May 24, 1819 Victoire gave birth to a daughter. She was christened Alexandrina Victoria, and it is this monumental birth that we have to thank for one of our favourite holidays. But the question remains, why do we celebrate Victoria’s birthday when there have been five monarchs on the throne since her reign? Well, aside from how obviously amazing it is to have a long weekend just when we need to kick-start the summer season, there is historical precedence at work.

COMMUNITY

Earth Day message still resonates with students (The following are letters from Grade 3 and 4 students at Arklan Community Public School in Carleton Place about the environment.) Dear Editor, I strongly believe that all of the citizens of the world shoud clean up all of the littered places in the world for earth day. Firstly, animals do not get harmed from eating it and getting very sick of choking. Or sharp peices could cut them or they could fall and it could kill them if they landed on it if no one cleaned. Secondly, we could end up haveing a garbage dump for a home and we don’t want that at all. It also could kill all the plants and we’d lose food and die because no plants no life. So you see this is obvily why all people of the would should clean up on ereath day. Sincerely, S Samuall

Dear Editor, I strongly sugest that everyone should pick up some garbage on earth day. Firstly, animals can get hurt because in the ocean if garbage gets in the water animals can die. Secondly, if no one picks up garbage it’s going to look like a dump because we won’t be picking up our garbage. Thirdly, air pollution can make people sick because if people breeth it in it can get stuck in your lungs. So now you see that everyone should go out on earth day and pitch in. Sincerely, Mikayla Dear Editor, I think not littering is a great idea. If we recylce than animals won’t chocke. Like when you don’t recycle they will chocke. The plastic could be sharp. Like getting a cut from a metal nail.

You know that something is wrong when two of what had been your top contenders for the highest office in the land are reality TV stars. The Donald, aka Donald Trump, star of The Apprentice, revealed this week that he would not be seeking the Republican Party’s nomination for president. The banner now falls to fellow reality star Sarah Palin, star of, well, Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Oh, yeah, and I think she used to be governor there too. So far, for all of the steam generated from Obamacare, the deficit, the wars and the rise of the Tea Party, the rogues gallery of candidates lining up to replace Obama is growing thinner. Just as the capture of Saddam Hussein in 2003 probably helped put the kaibosh on Howard Dean’s hopes to capture the Democratic nomination - even before his I Have A Scream speech - so too might the killing of bin Laden put a chill on some Republican aspirations. The Donald dropped out of the racing having accomplished, er, what exactly? Oh, yeah. Getting Obama to release his long form birth certificate. Cold comfort to those having their home repossessed or looking for a job or stationed in Afghanistan. Another contender, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, has also dropped out of the race. I am genunely sad to see him go because he brought some much needed comedic relief (the comedy provided by Palin and Trump was more of the mortifying variety.) First of all, he was endorsed in 2008 by none other than Chuck Norris. Well, he’s got my vote. What is he focussing his attention on now? Why, a crappilyanimated history series for kids, in which Ronald Reagan saves America from itself and knifewielding thugs wearing “Disco Sucks” T-shirts. The race may not be attracting the A list, but it is entertaining.

Earth needs our help: Arklan students From page 8 You could pollute water. Like swimming in a dirty pool. That’s why it is a great idea. Sincerely, Aidan Munro Dear Editor, I think that people should clean up our town so it is healthy and clean. Garbage can harm animals and plants. It will hurt or kill living things. Makes our town look like a garbage dump. Grass, plants would die no food = no life. neurotoxin can spread. It is very bad for living things. That’s why it is a excellent idea to clean our neighborhood Sincerely, Aiden Thomas Austin Dear Editor, I think we shold have a community clean up. We sholdn’t liter becauce it wil ckil all of th plants.

If the plants die we will die with out osgen. the animals will die of eating or driking the garbeg. If the impoten animals like bees the wold will be diskosting. the wold will be dangres.

That’s why I think that we should pick up peoples garbage. Sincerely, Hailey

Canada treats some children poorly To the Editor, I am a bit upset that I am finding myself feeling this way, and from no fault of my own, simply for trusting my government who I thought understood who I am as a Canadian. My values and beliefs, you know those things we all hold dear and which ground us as Canadians: truth, justice, kindness, love, freedom and equality, just to name a few. I personally believe and I teach my children that everyone in Canada is equal. I also let them know that things such as education and healthcare are a “given,” shall we say, available to everyone. I now know that is not true. It seems that depending on where one’s ancestors were originally born has a definite bearing on what the federal government says this wonderful country will offer you. Now you would think that if a country was going to have such a policy then it would logically be directed at persons/people who were born out of the country. Not

that I agree with this. But you know like the United States – you cannot be president if you are not American born. However in Canada that does not seem to be the case. Yes as illogical as it sounds here in Canada if your ancestors happened to be the first people who ever walked on the soil we now know as Canada – our First Nations – you are not entitled to the same education, healthcare and welfare services as the rest of Canadians. But do you know what makes me feel even more disillusioned with how the government is treating some Canadians is that this inequality is targeted at children. Why do First Nations children get an estimated $2,000 to $3,000 less per student each year for education? They are the fastest growing population in Canada. How do you feel about the fact that seven First Nation youth have gone missing or have been found dead since 2000 because they had to leave their family to attend high school? I must tell you

Submitted photo

First Nations children enjoy a dip in Lake Weagamow, an Aboriginal community north of Red Lake in northern Ontario. I would not send my 13- to 15-year-old away to school? Would you? Why does the government continue to allow the rest of Canada to believe that First Nation people are being provided with millions of dollars that ensure they are being treated well and really should not be complaining, when in fact documentation from within the federal government says differently? Last but not least, why are First Nations children not given the same opportunities as my children? A number of us were lucky

to hear Cindy Blackstock, executive director, First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada, speak about these issues at St. Gregory’s. I urge people to take it upon themselves to know what is happening to the children of Canada.

Council sticks to no free handouts policy Shuts down idea to donate rental cost back for fundraiser BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Mississippi Mills council denied the request on Monday night from A Night for Sendai fundraiser to waive the rental fee for the Almonte Old Town Hall. Council has a policy in place that they do not provide free rentals for town facilities, which include the Old Town Hall. The fundraiser was a musical night with local acts that raised money for tsunami victims in Japan. The rental cost for the fundraiser was about $560 – which Coun. Bernard Cameron suggested the town charge the fee, but issue a donation in an equal amount back to the group. “We said we would still entertain the request for a donation,” he said. “I’m saying our donation be equivilant to the fee.” The majority of council disagreed, and said that council had to stick to the policy that they created. Coun. John Edwards said that the town was already subsidizing the fee for the hall and that with the money going out to maintain the hall, it was unrealistic. Mayor John Levi was in agreement with most of council and said that community groups needed to look at having sponsors cover the hall rental fees. “We decided to get out of the donating hall buisness,” he said. The only other councillor in support of Cameron’s proposal for a donation was Coun. Shaun McLaughlin. “I was there that night, there were 25 acts, all local and a fantastic volunteer effort,” he said. “To me, this is a way to say thank you and to tell a very talended music community we support you.” With no extra money in the budget to make a donation and a policy in place, council defeated the motion with 9-2 vote against it.

CARLETON PLACE – When Shean Donovan and Chris Schwartz went to Carleton Place District High School together, Schwartz was two grades above Donovan and a stand-out volleyball player who just passed him in the halls. Neither expected that some day they would work together for a National Hockey League team only 20 minutes down the highway. Donovan played for the Ottawa Valley Titans and went on to play for the Ottawa 67s. He achieved his goal of making it to the NHL, and got to stay close to his roots, playing for the Ottawa Senators. Schwartz went on to play professional volleyball, and later work for the New York Islanders. He was offered a job with the Ottawa Senators as the strength and conditioning coach, and the opportunity to come back home couldn’t be passed over. So the two athletes from Carleton Place found themselves working together at the top ranks of the hockey world, Schwartz training Donovan off the ice. “Wherever you’re from, if it’s the same, you have a bond,” Donovan said. Even though Donovan retired from professional hockey last year, the pair continues to work together; training future professional hockey players. They are running a summer training program, and Donovan is co-ordinating an additional youth camp, in Beckwith and Carleton Place over the summer. “I’m proud to have grown up in Carleton Place,” Donovan said. “They can relate to us moving on, they know I played there. And I can let them now it’s not that far away.” Schwartz agreed and said it’s great for the young players to see locals reach their goals. “They can see two guys that have gone on and done it,” he said.

SUMMER PROGRAM This summer, Donovan and Schwartz will be regulars in Carleton Place and Beckwith as they lead their programs. They will be using the Beckwith and Carleton Place arenas and Heritage Fitness facilities for the programs. “We can pass on what we’ve learned,” Donovan said. “And bring it right to where they are.” Both Schwartz and Donovan said they remember the hours spent in the car, shuttling back and forth to games and practices, and were eager to take the camp back home. Donovan’s camp is for players aged 6 to 12 and is open to all levels of players, who will be on ice three hours a day. The first session runs July 18-22 and the second session July 25-29. Donovan will team up with Schwartz for a second summer program for elite level pee-wee and bantam players, aspiring to play on AA or AAA teams in the fall. The program runs from July 5 to Aug 18 and isn’t a summer day camp, like Donovan’s open camp. Instead, it is combination of off ice conditioning and on ice training on Tuesday and Thursday evenings throughout the summer off-season. It runs two phases, with the first phase strictly off ice training. In phase two in August, players will start to hit the ice. It can be hard for players to sort through piles of information regarding fitness and nutrition off ice, which many aren’t coached on at their minor teams. Donovan said he appreciated having Schwartz as a trainer “so I don’t have to read all the books.” “He’s able to pass on the information,” said Donovan of Schwartz. “But obviously, success comes down to hard work.” Both programs have started to fill up and more information is available at www.proexperiencehp.com

Be an athlete first. 2. Be strong and always getting stronger for maximum movement efficiency. 3. Nutrition, don’t be the majority of minor hockey players with poor nutrition.

Work on fundamentals and strong skating. 3. Practise skills on and off the ice.

Mississippi Mills council was packed on Monday night, as the Almonte Raiders showed up to present the town with a cheque for $1,000. Mayor John Levi, front left, accepted the cheque from Peter Guthrie. Peter’s son, Ryan, announced the team pledged to raise another $4,000 for arena renovations and will rename a dressing room after Peter.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS - Peter Guthrie showed up at the Mississippi Mills council meeting on May 16 to present a cheque to council for arena renovations from the Almonte Raiders hockey team. He didn’t know that the rest of the team, who also came to the council meeting, had a surprise for him. Before Peter presented the $1,000 cheque to Mayor John Levi, his son Ryan Guthrie stood up to make an announcement. “We made a commitment to raise $4,000 more over the next four years,” Ryan

said. “And to name a dressing room the Peter Guthrie dressing room.” The team raised money to donate to the town for arena renovations in appreciation of upgrades at the Almonte arena, where the team plays on Friday evenings. “You’ve given a great hockey experience for numerous individuals,” Ryan said. “You’ve devoted lots of time coaching minor hockey and providing support to the committee.” Peter was presented with a plaque and said he will look forward to using the next dressing room. “Oh, it’s great,” he said. Council had the most visitors they’ve

had in a while, as the entire team showed up to present the funds, which they raised

by organizing a trip to play on the ice at Scotiabank Place.

The Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation is thrilled to announce that it has received a gift of $2650 from the Spring Country Show hosted by local musician Wade Foster.

“Wade is a very talented musician and I would like to thank him for deciding to do this event on the Foundation’s behalf”, stated Chantelle Troy, Manager/ Community Relations Officer with the CPDMH Foundation. “It was a very entertaining that showcased wonderful performances from local artists and of course DoubleBack was an amazing house band!”

Wade and the CPDMH Foundation would like to thank everyone who attended the release party for making this gift possible.

“The show would not have been possible without the support from DoubleBack and the other artists that performed throughout the evening and I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of this event,” stated Wade Foster. “I’m thrilled with what we were able to accomplish on the Hospital’s behalf and I would like to extend special thanks to Bob White for helping to organize the event” Wade was born and raised in Perth and he has been playing the fiddle since he was 7 years old.

New truck class added to Almonte truck pull on May 29 DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

ALMONTE – This year’s Almonte truck pull is boasting a new chipped diesel class for trucks. “Last year we had a lot of trucks show up,” said show organizer Bryan Bridges. “(Some newer model trucks) can modify the horsepower in the trucks. They can move it up from 100 to 400 horsepower. We figured we needed to have a class for them if we wanted them to come.” This is the first year that trucks will be assigned to categories based on their weight capabilities. Brydges noted that a Chevrolet might be able to haul 4,000 lbs., but a Ford might be able to pull 4,500 lbs., so adding 500 lbs to the Chev’s weight would balance things out. “The people won’t come back if it’s not fair,” said Brydges. The Almonte Truck, Tractor and Lawn Tractor Pull will be held at the Almonte Agricultural Fairgrounds on Sunday, May 29, starting at 10 a.m. Admission is $5, children under 12 are free, if accompanied by an adult. The event is run under the umbrella of the Eastern Ontario Truck and Tractor Pull Association. The day also boasts: • Free parking. • Beer gardens. • 50/50 draw. • Barbecue.

Proceeds from the barbecue will go to help the Lanark County 4-H club pay for their exchange program to Ponoka, Alta. All proceeds from the event go towards the North Lanark Agricultural Society, and its drive to rebuild a barn that burned down last year. While Brydges admits that there are probably bigger shows in the Valley, the Almonte pull has grown in recent years. Last year drew between 800 and 1,000 attendees, with more than 120 exhibitors in 20 classes. Part of the reason for the increase in traffic, both vehicular and personal, was adding the lawn tractor component in 2008 and adding the truck component in 2006. “It really gets your family oriented people,” Brydges said of the lawn tractor pulls. “It’s quite a bit safer (than trucks)…so it gives the kids something to do.” Brydges has run the event since graduating from university in 2004, having taken over from his uncle. He also has a GMC Sierra Quad 4X4, but jokes that he will probably be too busy to do any pulls at the event. All of the events take place on the same track, and Brydges encourages families to come on by, and not to worry about the noise. “If you’ve ever been to Scotiabank Place with the monster trucks, it’s not like that,” he said. For more information, click on www.almontefair.com, or call Brydges at 613-2293326.

Get It Here card offers rewards for shopping locally DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

ALMONTE – Hey shoppers, come and get it. The Mainstreet Almonte Attraction and Promotion (MAAP) group recently launched its Get It Here card, which aims to help business, promote good causes and help you, the shopper out too. “It’s a loyalty card,” explained the card’s driving force, Cynthia Stuart of Appleton Gift and Basket. “You would purchase it for $20 and we’ll have community groups selling it.” About $5 from each purchase will be given back to the community group that is selling the card. The cards first started circulating at the Spring Handmade Harvest at the Almonte Agricultural Hall on May 7. They were also sold at an event for Therapeutic Riding on May 9, and will be ready for sale at a fashion show at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum on June 9. Card holders will also be given special discounts, like 10 per cent off of your bill at J.R.’s restaurant, or $10 off to have your air conditioning or furnace cleaned. “Every day we’re getting more and more businesses on board,” said Stuart. The money raised from the program will also go towards helping members plant flowers and improve signage in the downtown core of Almonte. “We needed a way to raise funds to invest into downtown,” said Stuart. “In order to make the downtown more attractive to visitors.” Already, 28 area businesses are taking part in the card program.

“We have a bunch of businesses that are trying to figure our what their reward will be,” for card holders, said Stuart, before they jump on board. “There seems to be a lot of interest in it.” During the program’s opening weekend at the Agricultural Hall, Stuart had some convincing to do to let people know what the card was really about. “People though it was a gift card, instead of a rewards card,” said Stuart. “So, there is a bit of education.” They ended up selling about a dozen cards though that afternoon. She added that for every $100 spent in the local community by shoppers, $68 of that money stays in the local economy. By comparison, spending the same amount of money at a national chain store means that only $43 stays locally. If you are interested in a card for yourself, you can click on www.get-it-here.ca, or via: • Information office at the ground floor of the Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St. • Appleton Gift and Basket, 65 Mill St., Almonte.

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FIELD NATURALISTS Take a walk on the wild side with the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) at MVFN’s Spring Gathering 2011, on Thursday, May 19, at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall. All are invited to enjoy a delicious banquet and keynote presentation, Natural Faces of Wild Mississippi Places, by internationally recognized ecologist and Lanark County resident Paul Keddy. Keddy is well qualified to speak about the “wilder” features of our area that make it a unique and special place to live. When Keddy was younger he spent many hours canoeing on the Mississippi River and hiking in the surrounding forests. He is probably best known locally for his book Earth, Water Fire: An Ecological Profile of Lanark County. Now in its second printing as a revised edition, this book is an

Take a walk on the wild side easy-to-digest, delightful and informative sail through the surprising natural history and recent geological history of this area. “In my lifetime many of the places I once loved have been turned into subdivisions or carelessly logged,” he says. “Species that I used to see are missing, or there are only a few individuals remaining where they were once abundant. We forget so soon. For example, people have already forgotten that Passenger Pigeons, now extinct, are recorded as having nested in Beckwith. “Today species including chorus frogs, musk turtles, and Blanding’s turtles and even eels are in decline. Even populations of bull frogs and snapping turtles, which were once abundant along the Mississippi are far less common. Our challenge is to identify the causes of the declines and reverse them. The key in nearly all cases is to maintain the habitat that the species need.” Several years ago, Keddy returned to live in Lanark County

but continues to do restoration related work for wild places elsewhere. In this talk though, he does not want to talk about alligators in the Everglades, or salmon in San Francisco. These sorts of species get lots of attention from residents of Florida and California. He wants to talk about our own wild species, the ones in our own county in particular, and the Ottawa Valley in general. These wild species are ambassadors for the wild habitats in which they live. The Almonte Civitan Community Hall is located at 500 Almonte St., just west of Highway 29. A reception beginning at 6 p.m. will be followed by a banquet and Keddy’s presentation/ Tickets are $30 and must be purchased in advance by Friday May 13, from: • Brenda Boyd at 613-256-2706. • Read’s Book Shop, 130 Lansdowne Ave., Carleton Place. • The Nature Lover’s Bookshop, 62 George St., Lanark.

Tilly’s is a Smokehouse on the Trans Canada Highway along the Carleton Place corridor specializing in “smokehouse Cuisine”. Smokehouses are always ﬁnding ways of preparing non traditional cuts of meat in slow roasting methods of cookery. Smokehouses are also “masters of the grill”. Grilling is fast cooking at high temperature over high heat, kind of the opposite of true bbq smoking which is slow in-direct heat. Smokehouse is becoming popular in this area because it is a true meat and potatoes meal, utilizing a quality cooking process with less popular cuts of quality meat providing lower prices for the customer. Beef brisket, pork shoulder, beef ribs or blade roasts can all be turned into fantastic products with a expertise, time and a little T.L.C.

Pakenham slo-pitch league wants its money back Injured player’s car broken into, league money stolen JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Talk about hitting a person when they’re down. Thieves used a boulder overnight Sunday to smash out the back window of a car owned by Pakenham Mixed Slo-Pitch League player Lori McGrath of Arnprior and steal $375 in league money. What they likely didn’t know was that McGrath’s car was left in the parking lot of Pakenham’s Stewart Park because the rover for the Ideal Roofing Packers team was injured in a collision with one of her own players. McGrath left the Sunday evening game on a stretcher and was taken by ambulance to Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. Luckily McGrath suffered no broken bones, but Tuesday she was still in a neck collar, bruised, swollen and sore. And also sore at the thieves who damaged her car and stole much-needed money from the league coffers. Given the crude method of break-

ing into her car, McGrath suspects the culprits are youth. “If it’s kids who took the money, I’m appealing to them to turn it in, no questions asked,” she said. If any area parents notice their kids have money they shouldn’t have, “get them to give it back,” she added. McGrath can be contacted at 613-623-9238. She learned about the break-in in a call from police Monday morning informing her that her car’s window had been broken and the glovebox ransacked. The money taken had been collected from players to go toward paying diamond fees, trophies and running the canteen, explained McGrath, the league’s treasurer. Anyone seeing anyone acting suspiciously around McGrath’s blue Toyota Corolla parked in the Stewart Park canteen area between 9 p.m. Sun-

day and early Monday morning should call police. Her stolen cell phone was found nearby at the skateboard park. McGrath said the theft is a shame because it’s a setback for the eight-team league that is making a name for itself in area slo-pitch circles. The league attracts players from all over the Valley and strives to be as inclusive and as much fun as possible, she said. That’s why losing money collected from players hurts so much. “It’s really important in keeping our costs down as much

as humanely possible so more and more people can come out…have fun and be active,” she said. McGrath said she’d be even more upset if the theft had happened in August when she collects money from players for a CHEO fundraiser.

display to give the visitor a visual appreciation of the kinds of machinery and equipment the millworkers had to use. Explanatory banners and panels will walk the visitor through the process of making textiles, “from sheep to shawl.” The MVTM captures an integral part of Canada’s

social, economic and cultural heritage, especially of the latter half of the 19th century and early 20th century. During the period of industrialization in Eastern Ontario, the communities of the Mississippi Valley relied to a great extent on textile mills for employment and economic growth. So many

mills were spread along the rivers of the valley that the region became known as the “Manchester of Canada.” Fabric of a Small Town is housed on the redesigned and renovated second floor of the museum, which is located at 3 Rosamond Street East in Almonte.

Carleton Place celebrates 101 years of Scouting Back to Basics camp to be held May 27 to 29 To celebrate Carleton Place Scouting’s 101st year, Valley Highlands area is holding a three-day camp on the weekend of May 27 to May 29. The camp will be held at Riverside and Bodnar parks on the lovely Mississippi River in Carleton Place. The camp will focus on the basic camping and canoeing skills that have been the basics of the Scouting program for a century. The public, former Scouters, and anyone interested in Scouting is invited to drop in and check out the camping, canoeing, skills competitions, games and other activities. Scouting was started in Carleton Place in 1910 at the Zion Memorial Church by William Moore who came to Canada in 1909 to work in the woollen mills. Moore met Lord Baden Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement, during the Boer War in 1899. Moore was part of the battalion of Lord Kitchener’s army which relieved Baden Powell’s army at Mafeking. Baden Powell wrote his guide to Scouting during the Boer War. It is believed that the Carleton Place troop was the second troop to start in Canada following Merrickville, which started a year earlier. The spirit of Scouting caught on quickly in the area with groups opening in the nearby towns of Smiths Falls, Almonte, and Perth. More recently, groups have opened in Beckwith, Drummond Centre, and Elmsley.

Today, these groups are included in the Valley Highlands area which extends from Pakenham to Port Elmsley and Lombardy, and from Merrickville to Arden. Over the years, Scouting has seen many changes. Today Scouting includes boys and girls from ages five to 25. There are now five sections for youth: Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers. Scouting provides its youth with basic skills that they will use throughout their lives. The youth are taught many survival skills including camping, hiking, cooking, canoeing, orienteering by compass and stars, lashing, and first aid. The older youth also experience high adventure trips which include wilderness and white water canoeing and kayaking, high ropes, repelling, and snowshoeing. Today’s Scouts also learn many modern skills including computer skills and the use of GPS’s. Everyone is invited to check out the many activities planned during the weekend. Most of the activities will take place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, with a campfire at Riverside Park between 8 and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday evening. The official closing ceremonies will take place on Sunday at 1w p.m. at the outdoor amphitheatre behind Carleton Place High School. Guests are asked to sign the guest book at the registration desk at the entrance to Bodnar Park when they arrive.

Many churches had not even heard of predicted end of days on May 21 desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The end is not nigh, so don’t cancel your plans for the long weekend. A Christian group in the United States, Family Radio, along with other Christians, is predicting that the world will end this Saturday, May 21, but local clergy are telling their followers not to worry, that life will continue on beyond the predicted apocalypse. “We are not preparing for the end of the world,” said Father Augustine Mendonça, of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Carleton Place. “To date, nobody has asked me if it is true or not,” about the predicted end of the world. Mendonça noted that the Catholic church does not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, and that while the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John predict the end of the world, he believes that the end of the world is not know to anyone, except God. “We always believe in the second coming of Christ,” said Mendonça. Mendonça’s words were echoed by his Protestant brethren across town. “The 21st? We’re getting very close,” joked Rev. Tony Boonstra of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Carleton Place. “You’re the first person to men-

tion it.” On a more serious note though, Boonstra said that the Presbyterian faith does not have an opinion on end of the world predictions. “We don’t get into that kind of stuff and I don’t want to speak against that,” said Boonstra. “Why feed that hysteria?” But Boonstra was sympathetic to people who did find solace in their belief of the end times. “It’s the apocalyptic approach that rears its head when things get a little hopeless,” Boonstra said. Some Christians would like to see the end of the world as we know it, and there are aspects of this world that Boonstra would like to see changed. “I can agree with a longing that the world that we live in has a lot wrong with it,” said Boonstra. “We are working towards the end of this type of self-destruction.” In an email to the Canadian Gazette, Rev. Glen Snider of the Cornerstone Community Church in Almonte, a Free Methodist congregation, passed on an email from Bishop Keith Lohnes about the May 21 end date. “He has some highly controversial teachings,” Lohnes wrote of Harold Camping of Family Radio. “Some people in your church may be following the predictions

of this man. Jesus said that no one knows the day or the hour – except the Father.” “Keith’s comments…pretty

much sums up where we stand,” Snider wrote in an email. Lohnes added that his plans for the week-

Protests take new angle against sexual violence SARAH BINGHAM Something’s a little different this year as May marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Canada. All over the country and now spreading into the United States, protests known as Slut Walks are cropping up. These events are a reaction to the shocking comments of a Toronto police officer this January at a safety meeting at York University. The officer stated that women should avoid dressing like “sluts” to avoid being raped and victimized. Not only do his comments suggest it is the victims fault for being raped, they also conjure images of women having to keep covered from head to toe so they don’t tempt men into raping them. His assertion is offensive and completely ridiculous. Unfortunately, he is not alone in his opinion. Slut Walks are a forum for

women and men both to speak out against the practice of blaming the victim, to speak out against sexual violence, and to speak out against the traditionally negative connotations associated with the word slut. It is a word that has been used to label, marginalize and devalue women. Based on what? Her sexuality, or more commonly, her perceived sexuality. Protestors reject the common practice of shaming a woman because of her sexuality. Whether a woman is comfortable expressing her sexuality or not has absolutely no bearing whatsoever in a situation of non-consent. As the familiar chant from another famous protest, Take Back the Night, goes, “Wherever we go, however we dress, no means no, yes means yes!” In fact, having the freedom to choose to wear what we want is a pretty highly valued freedom in Canadian society. This right

feeders, May 6. Out in Beckwith Township, Randy Marinelli had his first of the year rose-breasted grosbeak that day. In rural Almonte area, Bob Woods had the first pair of bluebirds checking out the nest boxes. A new reporter from Ashton sent an email telling of five blue jays at her feeders. Many red-winged blackbirds are around, and an American bittern was seen in a marsh area this spring, too. Two birds Colleen Havel described sounded like a pleated woodpecker nearby, and an eastern phoebe was giving its plaintive call. Lorie Bates spotted a sandhill crane in a corn field between Pakenham Village and Waba, May 8 and was able to capture the event with her camera.

singing. Turning back, I heard songs from a large field. Looking through my binocculars, there were two male bobolinks at the top of a shrub. Wonderful to see their colours. Driving past the wren box area, I finally heard one singing in the distance. At the end of April, in Carleton Place, Joyce and Mike Jaques had had a house wren and a gray catbird in their backyard. They were able to go to Mud Lake, in Ottawa, to see some of the reported wood warblers. In addition, a warbling vireo visited. In this Britannia conservation area, yellow, and yellow-rumped warblers were seen, plus palm and northern parula warblers. Some ruby-crowned kinglets had returned. Diane Milley, also of Carleton Place, had two rose-breasted grosbeaks at her

Strictly For the Birds

When one puts up bluebird nest boxes, one hopes these birds will accept them. Talking with friends who live on the 8th Concession, Ramsay Ward, May 8, they had eastern bluebirds come to examine the nest boxes. They had nested there last year, but this year, they flew away, and did not return. Sitting on their back porch, a loud noise was coming from the box area. House wrens had taken up residence. Even local tree swallows were out of luck. That morning, I thought I’d try to see or hear house wrens on Bolland Road. There are nesting boxes along a fence line. First trip by, no wrens. Only eastern meadowlarks and American robins were
