County police? Lanark-wide police force possibility discussed ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com

Lanark County council will put policing under the magnifying glass as the county is set to explore various options, including a county-wide police force. At last Wednesday’s county council meeting, chief administrative officer Peter Wagland said policing was determined a priority as it was discussed at the strategic planning session that Lanark County council held Sept. 10. He said during that meeting council recommended the county obtain a costing from the OPP for a Lanark County Service, as well as options for a county-wide police force.

A working group, supported by Wagland, will now be established to determine whether a county-wide police force would be a viable option, from an economical standpoint. Lanark County warden, Sharon Mousseau, said the policing options had actually been discussed at prior strategic planning sessions. “Many of us in lower-tier municipalities are reviewing our costs as they’re going up,” said Mousseau. “It was a common issue to all of us at the local level.” Wagland said the working group will review the costs of existing police services in local municipalities in the county.

ALMONTE - There was a moose on the loose this weekend, and after a chase by the Lanark County OPP, he was caught and sedated. Officers from the Lanark County OPP and the Ministry of Natural Resources tracked down the moose, first reported by a motorist at about 6:40 p.m. on Friday.

The caller saw the moose along Hwy. 29 at the edge of Almonte. When officers arrived, there was no trace of the moose – until the next morning, when residents started reporting about 8 a.m. that the moose was tracking through backyards in Almonte. One woman reported the moose feasted on her garden. See ‘MOOSE’ Page 4

PAKENHAM – Terry would have been proud. Students at the Pakenham Public School had set a goal of $1,200 for their annual Terry Fox Run on Wednesday, Sept. 28. They ended up beating that goal, and then some, raising $2,800. The Grade 7 and 8 class raised the most money of any of the classes at the school. Anna McHardy won the most money of any student, while Jillian Ferguson raised the most money of any student in Grades 4 to 6. Ethan Lockyer raised the most money of any of his Grades 7 and 8 counterparts. The students spent the morning walking the streets of Pakenham, taking in the early autumn colours.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – The Mississippi Mills Police Services Board is hoping that whoever is elected, or reelected, premier today, will hold the line on rising policing costs. “The cost of protection to persons is going up at a rate higher than inflation,” said Grant Chaplin, chairman of the board, after its meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 4. “If you keep overspending, the pot will run dry.” Chaplin said he and his board want the government elected today to see where savings can be attained in the police services and for tax money to be spent better. He pointed to arbitration rewards as the chief culprit for rising pay and benefits for police officers and civilian police employees. “The cost-of-living is different be-

cause if you live in the north, a quart of milk costs $8, (but) your housing costs may be lower,” said Chaplin. “The fellow who works in Barrie, and the fellow who works in Hawkesbury and the fellow who works in Downsview, get paid the same … We are all saddled with whatever cost is agreed with for the police.” Even in to the home stretch of the campaign, Chaplin said he had heard nothing from Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty, Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak, New Democratic Party leader Andrea Howrath or Green Party leader Mike Schreiner that specifically addressed rising policing costs, but that the PCs have said that they will review the arbitration process itself as a whole if elected. “I’m not familiar with any case in Ontario where salaries have been rolled back,” during the arbitration

process, said Chaplin. The move by the Mississippi Mills PSB follows in the footsteps of a meeting of the police services board association of eastern Ontario, and a campaign by the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB). “Without question, the top issue facing police services boards in Ontario is the rising cost of policing,” said Alok Mukherjee, chair of the Toronto Police Services Board and president of the OAPSB, in a press release dated Sept. 26. “Over the last decade, the cost of running a municipal police service has increased exponentially. Ontario communities are struggling with ballooning police budgets that are not sustainable. That’s why we are calling on all three party leaders to commit to a review of costs and the continuation of current grants.”

MOOSE ON THE LOOSE Lisa Code took this photo, above, of the wayward moose as it stood in a soy bean field on Clayton Road near Highway 29, just north of Almonte in Mississippi Mills on Friday, Sept. 30 around 7 p.m. She says the moose stood there for some time, walked a few steps towards the road, and then eventually turned and walked back across the field towards the woods. Code was glad to hear that the moose was safely tranquilized and relocated. “Hopefully he’s happy in his new home, and hopefully it’s far enough from civilization to give him some space,” she said.

Thieves target unlocked vehicles Lanark OPP are investigating a string of vehicle thefts overnight Wednesday, Sept. 28. On that night, 12 vehicles, in the central part of town off Lake Avenue were reported entered. All of the vehicles targeted were left unlocked, or had windows partially open. There were no cases of vehicles entered by force. Police say more vehicles could have been victimized, but not reported. Most of the cars were parked in residential driveways. POT SEIZED A Controlled Drugs and Substance Act search warrant was executed at a McArton Road address. Police also seized two pick-up trucks and one car allegedly stolen in Ottawa. Police say the projected street value of the seized drugs is estimated at about $ 20,000. A 30-year-old man and 39-yearold woman are charged with one count each of possession of schedule-2 substance for the purpose of trafficking, as well as three counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. The accused were released from custody on a promise to appear. They are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice of Ontario in Ottawa, on Nov. 9.

A boundary restructuring of Carleton Place and Beckwith was formalized at the Lanark County council meeting Sept. 28. The council passed a bylaw to authorize the boundary adjustment agreement between the two municipalities, which sees a realignment of municipal boundaries in three areas. The Township of Beckwith gives up land to the Town of Carleton Place on Lake

Avenue West, Maple Lane and Cavanagh Road. Lanark County warden and deputy reeve of Beckwith Township Sharon Mousseau said the process started during the last term of council. “A lot of this is just housekeeping,” she explained. She said some of the land included in the restructuring already belonged to Carleton Place, but there was one parcel of land on Cavanagh Road that is privately owned.

Mousseau said the land included in the restructuring belonged to a property owner in Beckwith. “They came to us wanting land amalgamated with Carleton Place,” she said, noting that property had been sold to a developer and it would make more sense to have it on the town’s water and sewer system. She said that while many people phoned to ask questions about the changes, there was little interest expressed at several public meetings held at the municipal level

and the county building in midSeptember. According to county documents, most of the Lake Avenue West area is already owned by the Town of Carleton Place and is designated Roy Brown Park. A report by county director of clerk’s services and clerk Cathie Ritchie said discussions are underway to locate a new Mississippi Conservation Authority Facility in the park. The same report notes the Maple Lane area is also owned

CP parking wars move from street to courtroom Northridge Manor tenant taking legal action against town DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – The latest round in the parking wars at Northridge Manor has grown to include a new civil action against the Town of Carleton Place. “It’s going before the courts shortly,” said Ralph Lee, the lead lawyer who is representing Northridge Manor tenant Tim Hagel. “The issue at hand is one of property rights.” While a date for the judicial review has not been set, Lee confirmed that the town will be served with papers sometime this week or early next week. Lee has already alerted Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and all members of Carelton Place town council by sending them letters. “In my view, the town’s response was not adequate,” said Lee. The issue goes back to last November, when the Northridge Manor homeowners association approached Les Reynolds, the Town of Carleton Place’s director of protective services, about adding the private Northridge Manor street to the municipal

bylaw allowing the town to enforce town parking laws on private property, like it does with the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. The Northridge Manor CoTenancy Committee had voted 23 to 15 at its annual general meeting to ask the town for their street to fall under bylaw enforcement protection. At the town’s community and protective services committee meeting on July 26, Reynolds told the committee that the street “was never meant for onstreet parking. (But) bylaw enforcement doesn’t have the right to enforce traffic bylaws on private property.” Reynolds added that he had concerns about a fire truck being able to access the site if cars were parked illegally on the side of the road. “If this was a fire regulation, this would have been dealt with a long time ago,” said Lee. The committee voted four-totwo not to seek legal advice. “That’s a mistake on the town’s part,” said Lee. “They should have sought legal advice.” A letter was sent by the town’s

chief administrative officer, Paul Knowles, on Thursday, Sept. 29 to Lee. Knowles wrote that “parking on the private street in Northridge Manor must be controlled to ensure proper access for emergency vehicles. The Town will continue to cooperate with the property owners to achieve proper access. However, it remains the owner’s responsibility to ensure proper access is maintained. Please keep us informed regarding the issues identified in your letter.” “We’ve measured it (the road),” said Lee. “We know that fire trucks can go through there.” Lee also pointed out that nearby narrow streets, like Rear and Emily near the downtown core, where on-street parking is allowed, could also be targeted for parking enforcement. “Fire is not the issue here,” said Lee. “There are lots of narrow streets that the city cannot ticket. Who’s next?” Hagel has long asserted that the association did not have the right to speak on his behalf on the matter and that parking en-

and the town, but could not say much beyond that. “It being a legal matter, it was discussed in a closed session of council,” said Knowles of the in-camera session where councillors and LeBlanc discussed the matter. “He (Lee) is welcome to discuss it, but I can’t … Even individual councillors can’t discuss it.”

Can private care save Ontario health care?

War crimes for one, defence for another DESMOND DEVOY Des Says

ealth care was one of the big issues in this provincial election campaign, but the issue of privatization was certainly lurking in the wings of the discussion. Indeed, during a seniors issues forum sponsored by the Mills Community Support Corporation and the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark County at the Almonte Curling Club last Wednesday, the issue was certainly a hot topic, with some clear distinctions being made between the candidates. Not surprisingly, NDP candidate Liam Duff was opposed to the idea, since, he felt, allowing user fees for example, would open the door to a two-tier health care system, with a robust system for the rich, and an anemic system for the rest of us. Interestingly, Progressive Conservative candidate Jack MacLaren, appeared to leave the door open to the idea of allowing some private care in to alleviate the strain on Ontario’s overburdened emergency rooms and operating theatres. The issue has been in the news provincially as well, with the Ontario Medical Association (OMA), which represents 26,000 doctors, floating the idea this past weekend that would allow for some procedures – such as colonoscopies, cataract surgeries and hip or knee replacements – to be taken out of hospitals and performed at a clinic. Following a visit to the Kensington Eye Institute, a not-for-profit clinic in Toronto this past July, OMA president Dr. Stewart Kennedy wrote in his blog on the OMA’s website that: “Kensington has improved access to care and helped reduce wait times. I think patients and our health care system would benefit if there were more Kensington-type clinics performing more procedures outside of the traditional hospital setting.” Some locals are already making their views on user fees and privatization known. Jammie Bannon, public education co-ordinator of the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark County, pointed out that, while things like liposuction and elective cosmetic surgery were fine for private clinics, things like medical user fees “alienates a lot of people who can’t afford medically necessary procedures.” No matter who wins today’s election, one of the first matters to be dealt with is just where we want to draw the line in the sand for private care. Just because it’s private does not mean it’s bad. But neither should we allow the day where we see ATMs popping up in our emergency rooms.

New hospital would replace, not supplement, existing one To the Editor: I would like to clarify a misconception expressed in your paper’s editorial of Sept. 29 (‘Tight race clouds new hospital debate’ Canadian Gazette) that suggests that the goal of hospital redevelopment is a second hospital in Carleton Place. In 2007, Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital received approval to proceed with a business case to redevelop the existing hospital. After assessing several options for redevelopment in collaboration with community and partners, the Board of Trustees determined that the best solution to address the shortfalls and limitations of the current facility was to build a new hospital to be located near the intersection of Lake Avenue and Maple Lane. With a more functional layout and de-

signed to integrate within a health campus of health and social service agencies, this expanded model of care would enhance the patient experience and result in a more cost-effective system of health care delivery. The proposal for the present hospital is that once services are transferred to the new site, the current site will be sold, either with the existing building in place or with that building demolished. Net revenues from the sale of the site will go towards the community’s share of the cost of the new hospital. Planning is currently underway to progress the business case to the next stage of approval.

It seems that everyone is a war criminal these days. Some people are genuinely war criminals, from former Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic to Liberian dictator Charles Taylor. But during a recent book signing event in Boston, several members of Veterans for Peace tried to make a citizens arrest of former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney as he hawked his new book. Members of the NDP warned that, during his trip to Montreal, Cheney could find himself open to being arrested for war crimes. Author Christopher Hitchen has been after former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for years as a war criminal. In Ireland, former IRA chief of staff Martin McGuinness, Northern Ireland’s former Deputy First Minister, is running for president. The chattering classes in Dublin are saying he would be a terrible choice for president because, if he went abroad as president, he too could be arrested for the nefarious goings on he got up to during the 1970s. (And you thought our recently-ended campaign was nasty.) But here’s the thing – unlike Cheney, McGuinness is a leftie. Veterans for Peace are also accusing Barack Obama of being a war criminal for his actions in Libya and for not immediately pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Yes, Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winner. Some groups are also targetting former British PM Tony Blair as a war criminal because of the misadventure in Iraq. I can kinda make that connection but here’s what I find ironic – this all started on his watch in 1998 when former Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet was detained in Britain under an arrest warrant from a crusading Spanish judge. Like in Henry IV where multiple soldiers were dressed up as the king to protect the real king, how can we spot the real criminals with so many on the lam?

We deserve doctors who put patients first To the Editor: It is with great sadness that I am witnessing the demise of a health care system that has served our citizens very well for years. It is also with tremendous sadness that I am seeing such a change in our medical providers. I sometimes wonder what is being thought of when one decides to become a doctor. Is it truly because you care for people, your fellow human beings and want to make a difference in people’s lives. These are the people who trust you to help them survive situations that can come to each of us with a number of different situations and at different times in our lives. The people who choose you to care for families from birth to the elderly. These are the people who put their lives in your hands. I know for sure these are the people who don’t want to feel like a number instead of a person truly cared about.

The medical system we are so lucky to have enjoyed in our country of freedom has been abused in the past. Yes, for years, by we the people by taking problems to the emergency department that truly could have been taken to the doctor’s office. Things that in other countries would not be taken to emergency due to cost or lack of health insurance. The cost that has been placed on our health care system by this has caused a strain to the care we have taken for granted and a cost that has now put it in jeopardy. That being said I now see that the health care providers have taken this burden a step further. They have asked their patients not to go to a walk in clinic but to go to the emergency department. This is a much costlier solution and puts an increased burden on health care. Is it not more effective to keep a certain amount

FOND FAREWELL It was a fond farewell to Robert Demerath and Cindy Halcrow, who have both left the town of Mississippi Mills’ staff. Diane Smithson, Demerath, Halcrow and Mayor John Levi were among those enjoying a reception in Halcrow’s honour on Sept. 29, as she moved to a different position in Drummond/North Elmsley, and Demerath entered retirement.

Mississippi Mills welcomes a new municipal clerk BRIER DODGE

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – The town of Mississippi Mills has welcomed their new town clerk, Shawna Stone, to replace the outgoing Cindy Halcrow. Stone has shifted into the Mississippi Mills position from the same job at the Township of Essa, in the Barrie area. She left Essa to move to Ottawa when her husband got a job transfer, so when the job posting came into her inbox on her last day of work, she knew she should apply right away. “I was able to hit the ground running,” she said, of the transition into the new job. She is coming from a fairly different council – with only three councillors, one per ward, a deputy mayor and a mayor-at-large, so she’s used to working with a smaller number. Stone also worked with council at the town of Innisville in the clerk’s office, but got her start in a large city, in the recreation department in Windsor. She worked her way up from a lifeguard and then summer jobs in university, to a fulltime town employee. Starting in a large city let her “see how the big machine works,” before she headed to a smaller area. Stone originally hails from Windsor, where she completed her undergraduate degree in political science. She followed that with a Masters degree, also in political science, from Laurier University. Experience in a variety of different sized councils has given Stone a good perspective on different ways to ap-

And she’s quickly getting the hang of Mississippi Mills. “It’s not just a small town feel,” she said. “It’s very real, come-on-in.”

CP water, sewer rates rise nearly four per cent Town plots out 100-year strategy for water, sewer projects DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – Water rates for town residents are set to rise next year by 3.95 per cent. Town treasurer Phil Hogan informed the corporate services committee on Sept. 21 that a household of between one and two people would see an increase of $28.71, to $755.53 a year, while a household of three to five people will see an increase of about $30.16, to $793.65 a year. (The rate increases were passed by town council on Tuesday, Sept. 27). Hogan informed council that a lot of the wealth spent on the sewer and water systems in town was not visible that it was a type of buried treasure. “The pipes that run underground are

worth multi-millions of dollars,” Hogan said. “A lot of these components can have a life cycle of about 50 to 100 years,” adding the average age of a pipe is estimated at 23 years and the town water tower is about 25 years old. One of the largest sewer projects on the very near horizon is work that needs to be done on Lake Avenue East in 2014, which should cost about $1.2 million. There are questions too about contamination on some stretches of that road, extending from the plume on Beckwith Street, which is currently still under construction. There are other major renovations and projects on the horizon: • sewage plant tertiary treatment, 2028, $2.8 million;

• sewage plant expansion, 2020, $9.5 million; • water reservoir expansion, 2019, part one, $3.8 million; • water plant reservoir, part two, $7.5 million. Another major project that is closer to getting off the ground next year is work needed on Frank Street, which have some of the town’s older pipes, built in 1916. “This is one of the sites that has major pipe issues underground,” said Hogan, at a cost of about $342,000. “In all honesty, it never ends. There’s always a steady stream of work.” A smaller project is work that is required on Mill Street next year, at a cost of $65,000. While Hogan does not have a crystal ball, he made an attempt at looking into the next 100 years of possible costs for

sewer and water work, for a bit of forward planning. “I did up a 100 year forecast,” Hogan said. “It’s not entirely accurate … It’s making a lot of assumptions. But it can be safe to say that I won’t be here (in 2080),” he joked. But he did note that, because of infrastructure investments being made now, “after 2019, we will start to save money,” since town hall will not have to defer needed infrastructure spending because of forward planning decisions made today. He also advised future councils to save for a rainy day, keeping in mind the average life span of things like sewers and pipes. “Because there is a limited life cycle, we want to put money aside,” Hogan said.

Candidates get earful from seniors at issues roundtable ‘Political speed dating’ candidates session in Almonte covers topics from dementia to transportation DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

ALMONTE – Provincial candidates in Carleton-Mississippi Mills can no longer claim ignorance about seniors issues, after an afternoon spent discussing matters near and dear to the elderly. “We thought that is would be a good idea to talk about seniors since it is a growing segment of the population,” said Mike Coxon, executive director of the Mills Community Support Corporation, which sponsored the event at the Almonte Curling Club on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Coxon stressed that the debate was necessary to make Mississippi Mills a more “age-friendly community.” Progressive Conservative candidate Jack MacLaren, Liberal Megan Cornell, Green Scott Simser and New Democrat Liam Duff were all in attendance. Cynthia Bredfeldt of the Family Coalition Party of Ontario was not in attendance. The candidates circulated around several tables, meeting with senior voters and members of community agencies that deal

with seniors issues. POLITICAL SPEED DATING At the table the Canadian Gazette sat at, Duff was first up in the “hot seat.” “It’s like political speed dating,” the 22-year-old University of Ottawa student joked as he sat down. At the table, he was joined by moderator Nicole Guthrie, community and cultural programmer for the Town of Mississippi Mills, as well as Jammie Bannon, public education coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark County, former Ottawa Hospital surgeon Norman Futter and his friend Peter Trau, a retired engineer. Joining them for the first half of the afternoon was Janet MacLaren, a nurse at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital and Jack MacLaren’s wife. When pressed on how the NDP would pay for its health care changes, Duff said that his party would free the salaries of hospital CEOs, and reduce tax breaks for large corporations, as well as cut emergency room wait times by 50 per cent. “It needs to be deconstructed

“There are people using the hospital emergency room that don’t need to be there,” said Duff. Mrs. MacLaren pointed out that her hospital needs more emergency room doctors and that younger doctors were leaving the hospital for other prov-

inces because of decreased salaries. She also charged that six operating rooms were closed for eight weeks last summer because of budget constraints, and that while there are additions being made to her hospital, but that there is not enough money to run the existing wings of the hospital at full capacity. Later in the afternoon, Cornell refuted Mrs. MacLaren’s comments about the Queensway-Carleton Hospital. “I can guess who that person is (who gave that information),” Cornell said. “I’ve heard this spiel before.” Cornell said she has met with Alex Munter, the chief executive officer of the Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Unit), who discussed the accountability contract signed between the hospital and the LHIN. “It’s up to the hospital as to when those surgeries are performed,” said Cornell, adding that a funding announcement was made at the QueenswayCarleton in past July, which she says will bring 3,500 more operations to the operating room.

Continued from page 14 “It’s not micro-managed by the LHIN,” said Cornell. “That’s their (the hospital’s) business. It’s easy to paint things one way.” She also stated the decision to close the emergency rooms was “an operation decision. They still fulfilled their obligations.”

quoted the doctor as saying. “I can spend more time with patients because I’ve made my money.” Bannon, however, had reservations about private care. “That alienates a lot of people who can’t afford medically necessary procedures,” Bannon said. DEMENTIA CRISIS

MEDICAL USER FEES When asked about user fees, Duff was emphatic about his party. “I don’t think so,” said Duff. “You run the risk of a two-tier health care system.” Trau, however, pointed out that countries like Great Britain and Ireland have both private and public health care branches. MacLaren didn’t rule fees out entirely. “I’ve talked to different folks, doctors,” said MacLaren. “I’ve had doctors tell me that the LHINs are no good. I’ve had doctors tell me not to spend more money on health care. Spend it more wisely. He met one Kanata-based doctor who does cosmetic Botox treatments, and does both private and public duties. “It works for him,” MacLaren said. “We already have private health care.” He met the doctor for a chat, and was told that the doctor’s private practice made his public experiences at the Queensway-Carelton Hospital better. “I don’t have to go through a pile of patients to make my money,” MacLaren

Bannon kept the candidate’s feet to the fire over the issue of what she called the coming “dementia crisis,” as the riding faces an increasingly graying population. When asked what he and a possible P.C. government would do to stick-handle this crisis, MacLaren admitted that he did not know much about the issue. “I don’t know,” MacLaren said. “I’m not an expert in health care. I’d ask around and find out what needs to be done. It’d be foolish of me to say this is what needs to be done…(But) I would make myself available.” Bannon pointed to MacLaren, and the other candidates, that there is no Alzheimer’s day program in Almonte, which would provide a drop-off program for burned-out caregivers. There is a day program in Carleton Place that is funded through fundraising efforts. “Most people who are 80 years-old don’t want to drive to Carleton Place, especially in winter,” said Bannon. Bannon charged that the Champlain

LHIN is one of only a few LHINs in the province that does not fund Alzheimer’s day programs. Because Perth and Smiths Falls, for example, fall under a different LHIN, their day programs are funded. “Once they (Alzheimer’s patients) are in the day program, we notice that they can stay at home a lot longer,” said Bannon. “It’s a cycle. People get burned out and they end up in the ER and there is a clog there.” PAYING THE BILLS

Simser’s time at the table was dominated by more financial issues. “Our economic approach is very different from the other parties,” said Simser. “We are proposing a carbon tax…That will be enough money for health care.” Trau also pointed out the effect that property taxes are having on seniors, and their ability to stay at home. “It’s absolutely ridiculous to increase the perceived value of a house based on sales of other houses in the area,” said Trau. “They should be based on the value that the house was sold for,” and only after it is sold again, should the value be adjusted. “That’s what forces many seniors to sell and become destitute,” said Trau, since they cannot keep up. Simser said he was not unsympathetic to their plight, but questioned the fairness of one senior paying $50 a year in

taxes, while his or her next door neighbour foots a tax bill of $4,000 a year. WAIT TIMES Futter challenged Cornell on her government’s wait times. “If you had cancer in 2002, you were in and you were operated on (right away),” charged Futter. “(Now), the average wait time for prostate cancer is three months, sometimes longer. The wait times have gone up significantly.” Futter noted that the longer someone has to wait for cancer care, the less likely they are to beat the cancer and survive. Cornell asserted that wait times had, in fact, gone down. “You obviously disagree,” she said. “We have reduced wait times. I can’t speak to specific wait times for specific diseases.” “One of the main challenges (in health care) is wait times,” said Bannon. Cornell conceded that, in some parts of the health care field, wait times have not improved as she would have liked. “Emergency room wait times haven’t budged, so we need to work on that,” said Cornell. “People will always be breaking their arms. People will always be in car accidents. But if we can get people with chronic conditions out of the ER, that will help.” The event was sponsored by the Mills Home Support Corporation, the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark County, and Lanark Home Support.

Agriculture top focus of Pakenham debate BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

PAKENHAM – An all-candidates meeting for the CarletonMississippi Mills riding Sept. 29 covered the basic questions on HST, health care, and global warming. But the event, organized by the Arnprior Region Federation of Agriculture catered to the area farmers, who were armed and ready to go with questions. The queries were asked by organizers and submitted in writing ahead of time. Progressive Conservative candidate Jack MacLaren, who is a past-president of the host organization, had the most direct experience farming, maintaining a farm himself – but other candidates were well versed on agriculture policies. The Family Coalition candidate, Cynthia Bredfeldt, declined to answer several questions, stating she was not briefed on the Family Coalition stance on those particular, specific issues. A hot topic, most heavily supported by MacLaren, was the deregulation of farmers. The NDP’s Liam Duff perhaps said it best, noting that while campaigning, “I talked to one

HST ON GAS

MARKETING BOARDS The first question asked candidates was about the importance of milk marketing boards, which the federal government is pressuring to remove. All candidates, except Bredfeldt who declined to answer, supported the milk marketing boards, despite federal interferences. “We do our hardest to work at protecting the marketing board,” said The Green Party’s Scott Simser. “The federal government hasn’t agreed to their 60 per cent of the cost (of the business risk management).” “As a farmer in this community, I have a strong sense of how important dairy is,” said MacLaren. “One of the backbones of Ontario because they have a stable income.” JOB CREATION Candidates were asked what their plan was to tackle the second recession - with job creation

Duff ’s strategy was to “grow our way out.” with helping pay salaries for new hires, helping medical students forgive student debt, and overall watching the dollar. “We want to grow our way out, you have to watch where you’re spending your money,” he said. Simser suggested freezing tuition fees in the coming year, and then only increasing them by the rate of inflation. MacLaren wants to target small business growth. “I think

that is the key to success.” Later in the debate he used the example of every small business in Pakenham being able to hire one extra employee, and the huge income boost it could bring to the community. Cornell’s approach was unique to the other three, talking about an innovation strategy. “If you don’t have an innovation strategy in this kind of economy, you’re going to get left behind … it’s investment and venture capital. “We’re the only party talking

Gas prices are a hot topic in the rural areas because of the high percentage of people who relay on their cars to get to work, and the distance they travel. Gas costs can significantly affect a rural family much more than an urban family, with access to public transit. While Liberal Megan Cornell, MacLaren and Simser supported keeping the HST on gas, Duff and Bredfeldt felt it should be eliminated. “HST is broad-based, and the whole concept is that it is as broad-based as possible and not on absolute essentials, such as food, so, no, we would not take it off,” Cornell said. “We think the HST shouldn’t exist on a lot of things - heating and hydro, you need gas to get around. We want to protect you,” Duff said. “Government’s source of income is tax. We have a big debt we need to deal with; there is a limit of how much we have to offer because of the debt load,” MacLaren said See ‘CANDIDATES’ Page 18

Election

Candidates asked about good stewardship Continued from Page 16 The final question examined what the candidates would do to provide support for agriculture to maintain stewardship. “That’s a question dear to my heart,” said MacLaren. He said farmers are very proud of their land, and don’t need rules to make sure that they are being good stewards. “It’s good business to be a good environmentalist,” he said. “I’m going to admit that this isn’t an area of expertise for me but I have listened and asked a lot

of questions,” Cornell said. She said there is a need for fair and incentive-based programs. Simser said that the best way to approach it would be an alternative land use service, where farmers could use extra land, such as wetlands, to benefit the environment. Bredfeldt stated: “The family coalition has a few specific policies for agriculture. They will propose right-to-farm legislation regarding standard farming practices.” Duff said that he wants regulations to be looked at on a case-by-

ALMONTE – Now’s your chance to go gray for a day. Even if you’re not lucky enough to be a member of the age 65-plus club, you can still come out and see what is on offer for the Golden Oldies community with the first-ever Seniors Expo Wednesday, Oct. 12 at the Almonte Civitan Hall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The venture, which is slated to attract about 40 vendors, is a joint operation between the Almonte Baptist Church and the Mills Community Support Corporation.

Carleton Place, Carp, Pakenham and environs. There will be several seminars throughout the day, including one hosted by Benson on aging and spirituality, as well as seminars on Alzheimer’s, and one from the Mills Corporation on their assisted living program for frail seniors in north Lanark County. “(It is a chance to) come and get together and see what is available in this area,” said Benson. It is hoped seniors will be able to be bused in from area retirement homes for the expo. “Things are starting to come together,”

“We had been talking to Jeff (Mills, of the corporation) over the last two years about what our church could do in the community, to complement what they were doing,” said Pastor Paul Benson. One of Benson’s parishioners, Margo Smith, had attended a similar expo when she was a parishioner at a church in Brockville, so Benson approached the Mills about supporting an expo for the area. “We felt that that was something that was needed and that seniors would enjoy,” said Benson. The expo is not limited to seniors just in Mississippi Mills, but Smiths Falls, Perth,

said Benson, who was in the midst of final preparations during a meeting at his church Oct. 4. “There is an extraordinary amount of help for seniors.” The expo will also feature musical entertainment and door prizes, and the vendors will include social service agencies, support groups, retirement homes, local attractions, pharmacies and seniors activity groups. Admission is free. Interested vendors are asked to call Smith at 613-256-9162 or via email at margos@ripnet.com. “Every one of these exhibitors is an expert in their area of expertise with seniors,” said Benson.

CP machinery firm gets ‘Top Gun’ status for jet part jobs DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – A new certification has an engineering factory in town ready for takeoff. Rose Integration recently earned its AS91000 Revision C Certification, which puts it in line to start building components for defence and aerospace planes. While you won’t see F-35 fighter jets being rolled out of the plant’s back door near Industrial Avenue, the company, which began by making high tech components for the high tech sector 30 years ago, will now be able to make parts for the next generation of military and commercial planes. “It allows us to get into the aerospace industry, where the quality control in much higher,” said company president Graham Whitelaw, explaining the new status means Rose Integration is better able to source raw materials, making it one of the first 10 companies in Canada to reach this level of certification. “It’s really the aerospace and

defence quality standard,” said Mike Ballerscheff, the company’s sales manager. The company already has ISO 9000 certification, which is a general management standard for companies. The federal government’s decision earlier this year to purchase a large order of F-35 fighter jets did play a part in the company’s decision. “We’d love to be a part of that,” said Whitelaw. “We haven’t done any direct quotes on that yet.” While Rose will not be bidding on the project itself, some of its clients will be. “We’ve identified the aerospace sector as a target market for us,” said Ballerscheff. Since the company is well positioned to make things such as landing gear and controls, areas “we think we would do very well.” But the attention to detail required for the certification goes beyond simply what the defence forces require. “If someone is getting on an aircraft, the level of detail … is important to somebody,” said Whitelaw. About a decade ago, when the high tech sector took a nose dive after the dot com bubble burst, “we found ourselves with a pile of machines and no market,” said Ballerscheff. So, the compa-

The mighty machine costs about $1 million and was part of the recent expansions to accommodate making aerospace components at their Carleton Place firm. ny had to diversify, and quickly, moving in to making components for mining equipment, industry and transportation. In 2009, the company erected a new building addition of 5,000 square feet, and it has purchased $2 million in new equipment to get ready for its aerospace ventures. Whitelaw notes the company’s staffing levels are up by 35 people since “the recessionary days,” and it currently has 95 workers. “(And) that’s not directly related to the ramp-up we’re expecting,” said Whitelaw.

Being able to trace back raw materials right back to the steel plant, for example, is an important component of the company’s new certification, for which their employees have been trained. When tracing steel, for example, Rose now needs to see a certificate of conformation from the mill in, say, Hamilton. “Some are pretty tough to find from European materials,” said Ballerscheff. Rose often gets a lot of its materials from Great Britain. “We’re searching the globe.” Just like Canadian television stations have to have Canadian

content, so too do some of the contracts Rose works on have to involve Canadian content components. “We work with our clients to provide Canadian content forms,” said Ballerscheff. As a result, record retention is an important part of keeping an eye on every link in the chain. If a government inspector should happen by unannounced for an audit, he or she may ask: “You say that that flight control accuator is 100 per cent Canadian? Can you prove it?” said Ballerscheff, which is an important reason to have the paperwork in line. Even with the military mission in Afghanistan having come to an end, and the Libyan air mission appearing to enter its final phase, Rose Integration, which was founded by German immigrant Hans Rose as a small machine shop over 30 years ago, is still betting on the defence industry. “There is a renewed focus on defence and air force funding,” said Whitelaw. Even at that, a plane is still a plane. “The requirements are different,” said Whitelaw, but the overall concept remains the same.

Three high schools compete for top honours in food drive BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Notre Dame Catholic High School has challenged the two other local high schools, Almonte District and Carleton Place, for bragging rights in a food drive. Whichever school can collect the most non-perishable food items will win the contest – and with Notre Dame aiming for 2,000 items, it could be a big tally. The contest was spearheaded by Tammy Bovaird and her Grade 12 religion class at NDCHS, which started collecting food Sept. 19. The schools have until today (Oct. 6) to collect as many items as they can, in order for the Lanark County food bank to receive the items by Thanksgiving. “This is wonderful just before Thanksgiving because we are spending about $3,000 a month on food right now,” said Nadine Kennedy of the Lanark County Food Bank. In the past month, Kennedy has had 16 new families sign up for the food bank services, and is having problems keeping basic items such as soup on the shelves. She has had to go out and buy soup – something that

has never happened in her years of volunteering. Families who use the food bank are only allowed to come in once in a 30-day period, which means some families will do without a little bit longer in order to guarantee food on the table for Thanksgiving. “It’s tricky for a lot of families, and some families will do without to try and time their visit so that they might get extra apples, we might have a turkey or two,” Kennedy said. “We try to be as generous as we can, but this summer was really hard on us.” The extra food donated by the high schools will help re-stock the shelves, and allow the food bank to free up some funding. “We always do a food drive, but this is the first competition,” said Bovaird. “There’s a little bit of bragging rights, and at NDCHS they get a dress-down day if they win.” “The schools, they just always come through for us,” Kennedy said. Anyone who wants to donate to the Lanark County Food Bank can drop off items at the Independent Grocers in Almonte and Carleton Place.

Jr B Thunder split Sat./Sun. games

Highest CJHL ranking ever for CP Canadians after weekend wins BRIER DODGE

brier.dodge@metroland.com

BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

The Almonte Thunder lost their home opener 6-4 to the Renfrew Timberwolves Saturday. Two goals each from Derek Lowry and Kyle Killeen weren’t enough to stop the Timberwolves. Troy Anderson was in the net, and was able to stop 27 of the 32 shots. The Thunder faired better against the Stittsville Royals the next day, coming out on top with a 4-2 win. Stittsville scored the initial two goals, but the Thunder came back with four consecutive goals, from Lowry, Drake Clancy and two from Killeen. Anderson continued in net, stopping 25 of 27 shots. Lowry is currently ranked 10th in the league for overall points, with 11 in six games. The Thunder next play at home this Saturday, Oct. 8 at 7:20 p.m. against Metcalfe.

CARLETON PLACE – For the first time in franchise history, the Carleton Place Canadians have broke into the top 20 teams in the CCHL, which includes the 10 Junior A leagues across the country. The team is currently ranked 18th, in between the number 17 Fort McMurray Oil Barrons, and ahead of the 19th place Stouffville Spirit. The Canadians are in good company – the Cornwall Colts are currently the number-one ranked team. PLAYER OF THE WEEK The Canadians’ Shayne Morrissey has been named the Central Canada Tier 1 Junior A player of the week. Morrissey was named second star in both weekend games, and is currently sitting in second place in the league scoring after locking in an extra six points this weekend.

SHOOTOUTS The Canadians notched two wins this weekend – both ending in shootouts. The team travelled to Cumberland Friday, where they were down 3-0 halfway through the game. Daniel Kolenda got the team on the board with only minutes left in the second period. Morrissey scored unassisted to start off the third period, which was answered by a Cumberland goal 12 seconds later. With the team down 4-2, Dustin Darou and Jay Llewelyn pushed the team into a tie-break position. After a scoreless overtime they went to a shootout. Anthony McVeigh and Brandon Seatter found the net in the shootout, and with only one goal let in by Joe Yetman, the team had their first win of the weekend. The shootout drama wasn’t over for the weekend yet though – the team would find themselves in a strangely familiar situation again Sunday The team was in Cumberland,

The Canadians face off against Hawkesbury over the weekend. They came out on top after a shootout win. and ended the game in a tie after a goal by Morrissey and a pair by Kolenda. With a 3-3 draw on the table, the team went into their second shootout of the weekend - another goal by Kolenda and a tally by Llewlyn let goalie Yetman pull

through and stop two of three Hawkesbury shots to cinch the second win. The team has two home games this weekend, Friday night against Ottawa at 7:45 p.m. and Sunday against Gloucester at 3 p.m.

CPMHA announces new sponsor to help fund powerskating SUBMITTED BY THE CPMHA The Carleton Place Minor Hockey Association is thrilled to announce its newest corporate sponsor. Tomahawk technologies has joined the growing list of sponsors for this season’s minor hockey club. Recognizing that good skating skills are the foundation of good hockey play, CPMHA was in the process of tendering outside power skating instruction for all novice, atom and pee wee house level teams to augment their current practice regime. President Paul Ross has been pursuing avenues to fund more instruction for our players. “We are trying to provide more for our players while maintaining a fiscally responsible bottom line.”

In the past, the association has not had the opportunity to partner with outside corporations to assist it in running programs. The newest program, ‘Tomahawk Technologies Power Skate Program’, will see a minimum of two on-ice sessions with each of the identified age groups. Ross said that “we are thrilled to be able to offer professional skating instruction to our players.” Tomahawk Technologies owner Robin Mulloy contacted the club to see what his company could do to help this season. Robin is a familiar face at the arena with his son playing with CPMHA for the last five years and Robin regularly assisting on the ice since this time. CPMHA thanks Robin and Tomahawk Technologies for their sponsorship this season.

Almonte Lawn Bowling Club concludes successful year SUBMITTED BY THE ALMONTE LAWN BOWLING CLUB After an earlier decision to fold operations, several members of Almonte Lawn Bowling Club (ALBC) formed an operation committee and decided to continue to pursue the ancient sport of lawn bowling in the community. Serving the municipalities of Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and area, the committee mounted a membership drive and concluded the year Sept. 30 with 31 members, many of them new to the game. ALBC was formed in 1933 and has occupied the same building and greens on Robert Street in Almonte ever since. According to photographs and trophies found around the clubhouse, the former members have enjoyed a vigorous program of tournaments and social events. ALBC belongs to the provincial affiliate of Ontario Lawn Bowls Association and is a member of District 16 of that organization. It is the only club in this area, the nearest being in Galetta, Goulbourn

and Smiths Falls. Whereas dozens of tournaments and competitions were held in District 16 during 2011, ALBC had not gained sufficient expertise to participate. It did, however, hold one successful in-house tournament in late August, organized by Loreen Stewart and Claire and Bob Moore. ALBC held its annual meeting Sept. 6, with 28 members and guests present. After a pot-luck dinner, the group got down to business and elected a new board of directors and approved the club’s very first constitution and bylaws. A budget was struck for the coming year and was based upon an increase in membership and several fundraising events. In a special occasion at the AGM, retiring members Bob and Claire Moore of Carleton Place were presented with a certificate of appreciation for long years of service in promoting the sport of lawn bowling and keeping the club active. ALBC member Marina Johnston of Almonte made the presentation and also presented a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Claire, to a cho-

rus of a standing ovation. Members of the new board of ALBC include past president Claire Moore, president Cliff Bennett, vice-president and chair of training and competition Denis D’Avignon, secretary Jean Kidziun, treasurer Deborah McKay, membership convenor Irene Arrowsmith, directors of grounds and property Guy Chaput and Ken Brown, tournament convenor Loreen Stewart, social convenors Jan Peterson and Marina Johnston, and directors-at-large Jim Reid and John Arrowsmith. The president and vice-president will represent the ALBC at District 16 meetings. At the first meeting of the ALBC board, decisions were made to offer to hold one competitive tournament in 2012, apply for grants to replace the club’s ancient greens cutting machine and also the deteriorating boards around the greens, hold at least one public open house, rent the facility for other purposes during the summer, and offer an associate membership. For more information on ALBC, contact Cliff Bennett at 613-2565013 or bennett@magma.ca.

Neighborhood Tomato takes a tour BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – It’s always important to get your veggies, and a new project in Mississippi Mills brought more tomatoes to local groups and residents.

The Mills Community Support group partnered with a wide variety of community organizations to plant raised tomato beds in different gardens. On Sept. 30, community partners were able to meet each other and see the impact of their partnerships by taking a tour called the Harvest Safari Lunch.

The tour visited the different gardens, including at Lanark County Support Services, Community Living’s Edward Street home, Almonte General Hospital day program, Mills Community Support, Almonte Country Haven and TYPS Youth Centre. The program combined everything from labour skills of woodworking classes at Almonte District High School to the donation of soil to $1,000 from The Hub. The boxes were pre-fabricated in the shop classes from local lumber, and filled with soil and seeds to grow tomatoes. Beverly Trotman, a Community Living Association of Lanark County resident, sits outside her home with the tomato garden planted as a part of the program, organized by the Mills Community Support, during the tomato tour in Mississippi Mills.

The tomatoes are either eaten by residents, or donated to the food bank if there are excess. “We get it quickly, we get rid of it quickly,” said Al Jones of the Lanark County Food Bank. The tour was lead by Jeff Mills, who launched the program in the spring. “We just thought we’d have this harvest safari lunch so the partners could meet each other and see what we’ve grown,” he said. Next year, he hopes to expand the project to smaller 4-foot-by-4-foot boxes for seniors living at home. The raised boxes are significantly easier to garden from, and allow inexpensive and convenient access to a healthy, local food source.

How to Get Started on an Investment Plan STACIE ROBERTSON A successful financial life is like taking a road trip: unless you know where you want to go, you’re not going to get there.

Series kicks off Nov. 26 Almonte’s 2011-2012 Folkus Concert Series begins its 11th season with a new artistic director, Amanda Sears, who has used the excellent acoustics of the Almonte Old Town Hall to lure an exciting line-up of talented performers. The series consists of four concerts, two of which feature seasoned and popular artists, and two of which promote emerging artists. Kicking off the series on Saturday, Nov. 26, Folkus presents Toronto-based songwriter Royal Wood. When Folkus members heard Wood, Sears wasted no time signing him to open its concert series. Music critics, too, are immediately entranced by Wood’s lyrics, voice, piano work, and melodies. He has been described as a sober, slick Tom Waites who sings ballads of love, loss and life that are intelligent, real, intense and honest. The opening act is Toronto folk/rock artist Sarah Burton. On Saturday, Jan. 21, there is a double bill featuring Cindy Doire and Kelly Sloan. Montreal-based singer Doire is a troubadour and vagabond who has built a large fan base in Canada and Europe, one fan at a time, with her “get in the van and drive” philosophy and her joy at playing small venues. She is a thoughtful songwriter and a performer who can channel the moody atmosphere of French singers, and pin you against the back wall with a Joplinesque wail to shatter your soul. She shares the program with Nova Scotia-based Sloan, whose music is a blend of country, folk and soul. Her songs are delivered in a voice that is timeless and reveal a rich, intimate and vulnerable inner world. Sloan is no stranger to Almonte. She was raised in town and fans usually look forward to their regular Sloan fix at her annual Christmas concert. Not this year though. This year she is performing exclusively for Folkus, giving fans a chance to see her in concert on the Old Town Hall stage. On Saturday, Feb. 25, Folkus is excited to present Toronto-based artist Hawksley Workman. Six times nominated, two-time Juno

award winner Workman is a prolific songwriter, producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, actor and author, whose 12-year career has produced as many records. He has played nearly a thousand shows in over 15 countries and his work is extremely diverse, defying categorization, and is always ambitiously creative. As a performer he blends his songs with engaging storytelling and has a penchant for the flamboyant and the unexpected. The opening act is Almonte native Kyle Spinks. The Folkus series concludes Saturday, March 24 with a double bill of Ottawa groups Silver Creek and the Brothers Chaffey. Formed in 2006, Silver Creek ‘s music conveys the fundamental truths of human experience in songs of love and heartache with strong, heartfelt lyrics set to catchy melodies. They share the evening with the Brothers Chaffey, a rootsrock-country sibling duo. Both these bands have played the Cisco Stage at Bluesfest a number of times and are frequent performers in the Ottawa area. Both bands bring something new to the Old Town Hall: Silver Creek has new material for an album due out in late fall and the Brothers Chaffey are working on a new sound with new band members. Both bands bring their all to the concert stage with full bands, providing fans with a great opportunity to support two popular local acts as their stars begin to rise. All concerts are held on Saturday evenings at Almonte’s Old Town Hall. Show time is 8 p.m. and doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available either as a series pass or as single concert tickets. To ensure you get in to see these four concerts, make sure to buy your series pass early. They are available in advance of singles and cost $88. Purchase by Paypal at www. folkusalmonte.ca, or at Mill Street Books in person or by phone at 613-256-9090. Individual concert tickets will be $27 per show ($12 for students), available as of Nov. 1 at Mill Street Books or at the door on the day of the show.

Just like you would plan a trip, you should map out your finances. Realizing your financial dreams requires goals and a strategy for reaching them. No matter what you want from your financial life, a good plan will get you there faster. Get started by setting clearly defined longterm goals and time frames for reaching them. For example, do you want to save and invest for retirement, buy a home, put money aside for your children’s education? Your objectives must be realistic. If you set lofty goals that are unattainable, you’ll end up frustrated-and perhaps give up on financial planning altogether. Don’t expect to retire in luxury if you live a modest lifestyle, or buy a mansion on an average salary. And keep in mind that it will take many years to reach some of your goals-including saving for retirement and financing your children’s post-secondary education.

ing the year through automatic withdrawals from an account at a bank or other financial institution. The money goes into your RRSP or other investments. You also need to structure an investment portfolio so it is capable of meeting your objectives. Choose investments that will generate the returns you require, at a risk level you’re comfortable with. Your portfolio should be diversified among the basic asset classes-cash and cash-equivalent investments, fixed-income and equities. This will provide exposure to greater returns potential and protect against the frequent ups and downs typical of a narrow range of investments. A financial advisor can help you define your goals and strategy, as well as choose appropriate investments. A professional can also help you regularly review your strategy and investment performance to ensure you’re on track to reaching your goals.

Advertorial

You can ensure objectives are realistic by assigning them a dollar value. Once you know exactly how much money is required, you can determine how much to save and invest, and the level of annual investment returns required to meet your targets. The wealth you accumulate will be a function of the amounts you regularly set aside and the returns that money earns. You’ll be able to execute an effective savings and investment strategy only after you establish a firm foundation for your financial life. This foundation is the money you need for basic necessities such as food, shelter, insurance coverage and a cash fund for emergencies. What you have left over after your day-to-day needs are met is your potential investment pool. In other words, it’s the cash that you can put toward long-term goals.

LYNDA C. BENNETT Strictly for the Birds

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Did you know that turkeys were given to South Americans by the Spaniards in the 1500s. Native Americans used them for food and feathers, but others avoided them, thinking they represented cowardice, since turkeys ran away from enemies. In any case, enjoy your Thanksgiving turkey with family and friends. A banded blue jay was seen by Dwayne Seger, in the Glen Isle area, Almonte, Sept. 15. Other news includes Terry Kotjila hearing a barred owl, in Mississippi Mills, Sept. 15. In Pakenham, Ray Holland was awaked early by a screech owl at 4 a.m., Sept. 25. Three days before, a pair of red-bellied woodpeckers were feeding in his garden. Sept. 28, at 5 a.m., two barred owls called loudly outside our house. A merlin flew into a window at Lorraine and Leonard Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home Sept, 15. It survived the crash, but was not improving. Leonard was able to catch it. Placed in a box, he took the merlin to the Wild Bird Care Centre in Ottawa. It is doing well so far. Most ruby-throated hummingbirds have flown south, but Mrs. Jim Barr, Pakenham, had two feeding on flowers in her garden, Sept. 25. A pied-billed grebe in Carleton Place by the boat dock, at the west end of Lake Avenue, was seen by Georgina Doe Sept. 23. Just outside town, Ursel Brown, riding McCaffery trail with two friends, Ilona and Joy, had excellent views of a juvenile red-tailed hawk, sitting on a telephone wire. In Beckwith Township, at the end of September, Randy Marinelli has had a northern harrier visiting, and an eastern phoebe is still there. He saw a brown creeper, and a white-throated and chip-

brown thrashers and a white-throated sparrow in their garden. Please call Lynda at 613-256-5013, or email bennett@magma.ca with bird reports.

Canadian Gazette - October 6, 2011

The

Entertainment

Theatre news from across the county IAN DOIG Well, now things are starting to heat up a bit! Perth’s Studio Theatre Productions has brought to the stage of the Studio, Neil Simon’s semiautobiographical musing Chapter Two, a comedy-drama about second chances. It continues well into October, with 8 p.m. performances on Oct. 7 and 8 and 2 p.m. matinées on Oct. 9. Tickets are $20 in advance at the Studio Box Office (also open Saturday mornings until Thanksgiving) and The Book Nook on Gore St, or $22 at the door, or from Tickets Please (613485-6434) (www.ticketsplease. ca), and students – show your

student’s ID at the door up to an hour before opening and get rush seats for $10. Across town, BarnDoor Productions is rolling into its 17th season, fresh from the opening of their new performance space, the Full Circle Theatre, and ready to hit the stage in October with the world premiere of a brand-new, (unauthorized) sequel to Noel Coward’s perennially popular Blithe Spirit! Free Spirits looks at what happens to Coward’s characters seven years after, and is as filled with fun and wit and surprises as Coward’s original, but with the added bonus of, not just two ghosts as Coward wrote in, but up to five. And they’ll all be haunting the stage at the new

Full Circle Theatre, on Highway 43 in Perth. The show runs Oct. 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 16 and 23 at 2 p.m. Information or tickets are available through www.barndoorproductions.ca. Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre bring their production of Shakespeare’s MacBeth to the stage of Carleton Place’s Town Hall on Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. and the Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are available from Arts Carleton Place, at 132 Coleman Street, (l 613-257-2031). Almonte’s Valley Players are supporting My Town’s Got Talent. Produced by the VP’s student executive member, Jeff Gourgon, the show has just held auditions in Perth, Smiths Falls,

Carleton Place and Almonte and will go on stage on Oct. 22 at Almonte District High School. It’s a feature that’ll showcase talent from all over Lanark County at least, and that alone should guarantee a full house, not to say a lot of cross-county rivalry. From what we see and hear, November is shaping up to be an exciting month in as well. Two big items are the Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play Festival at Perth’s Studio Theatre and the Perth Community Choir’s annual musical extravaganza – Anything Goes – on the Mason Stage at PDCI. As well the Kemptville Players are gearing up for a production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap – the longest-running stage production in history, and the Valley Players are co-producing (with the Town of

Mississippi Mills) an original musical about local great James Naismith; amongst many other achievements, the inventor of basketball. Touted as being both funny and dramatic – and with some Canadian/American political overtones –“Naismith is Colour Blind and He Can’t Drive” sounds like a lot of fun, as well as being local and very topical. And on the audition front, BarnDoor is casting its December show, an expanded revival of their 2009 musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ other Christmas story, The Chimes. Please go to www.barndoorproductions.ca for information on casting and more. So get ready for a full season’s worth of really top-flight theatre right here in our area. For theatre-goers and performers alike, it should be some season.

Driver fails to stop for school bus while using cell phone A 22-year-old Perth man was charged with two offences under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act after failing to stop for a school bus on the morning of Friday, Sept. 30 An officer from the Lanark County Detachment OPP saw the school bus stopped on Rideau Ferry Road with lights activated and stop sign displayed. Children were boarding the bus. A southbound pick-up truck passed the bus without stopping. The officer saw the driver was using a hand held device at the time. On conviction the failing to stop offence carries a total fine of $490 and six demerit

points and the hand held device offence carries a fine of $155. Meanwhile, Smiths Falls Police issued a news release urging drivers to obey the law forbidding the use of cell phones while driving, noting they “have quickly become a leading cause of car crashes.” Studies have proven that drivers on a cell phone are four times as likely to be in a car crash, say police. Talking on one reduces a driver’s reaction time by nine per cent and slows braking down by 19 per cent. Police remind motorists the law also pertains to laptops, MP3s, hand-held gambling devices and iPods.

Pumpkin tour this weekend features Mississippi Mills artists The annual Crown and Pumpkin Studio Tour takes place in Mississippi Mills. The 15th annual Thanksgiving weekend tour features stops in the Almonte, Clayton and Blakeney areas. Admission is free. This year’s includes some intriguing new features, including a goat walk. The tour runs all three days of the weekend, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Discover the craftsmanship and skill of local artists and enjoy fall’s vibrant colours. “It’s our 15th tour, and to celebrate we have 15 stops, but we started numbering at zero, for Ground Zero, at Union Hall,” explained Barbara Mullally, one of the tour organizers and a veteran exhibitor. Quirky, but with seven artists, including three new ones, Union Hall is a good place to begin.” There’s something new this year. Soap maker Anita Dworshak Beauchesne is opening her goat farm and soap workshop to visitors. Located on the 9th line of Darling Township, about 15 minutes from Clayton, Wild Rose Country Homestead (Stop 2) consists of 100 acres of rolling, well-treed land. “I always dreamed of having my own log cabin in the bush, and when I found this property, I knew it was the right place to settle,” admits Beauchesne.

After considering what type of livestock to raise, she chose goats. “This land is best suited to goats because they are browsing animals, and there’s a lot of brush.” She now has 75 animals, including 35 breeding stock and their kids. Beauchesne uses the pure, undiluted milk from her goats to make a natural, moisture-rich soap. Angora goats provide a lovely fleece, and this year she will be offering mohair roving for weavers and spinners. The big feature of the weekend at Wild Rose will be a daily, one-hour “goat walk” at 10 a.m. The walk, accompanying the goats, will have a leisurely pace, with lots of breaks while the goats stop to munch the greenery. Children will have an opportunity to feed the goats as well. “Kids like kids,” Beauchesne says. The 2011 tour also has six new artists: Raphael Kerem, a broom maker; Tanya Deacove, a bookbinder; author and illustrator Susan Jolliffe; fibre artist Maggie Glossop; potter Ian Paige; and Jean Morrow, a painter. Catering will be available at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte. For a map and a full list of the over 30 participating artists and craftspeople, see the web site at www.crownandpumpkin.com.
