CP Rail begins to pull up its railway tracks STEVE NEWMAN Steve.newman@metroland.com
It’s appears to be the end of an era. Canadian Pacific Rail is making plans to pull up tracks on its Smiths Falls to Mattawa line. The last train, the first in many months, startled residents when it went up the Valley Tuesday. Ed Greenberg, a Calgary-based spokesman with Canadian Pacific Rail, says the
process to salvage its railway ties, rails and related equipment will start this month. He said Canadian Pacific will pull up about 25 miles of track, between Renfrew and Pembroke. The remaining 160 of the 185 miles of CP track between Smiths Falls and Mattawa will be salvaged in subsequent years, he added. See ‘LOSS OF TRACKS’ Page 3

RARE DISEASE
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – While the Communities in Bloom (CiB) judges will likely be back to Mississippi Mills in years to come, the municipality certainly made a good first impression on the visitors from southern Ontario. “This is one pretty community and one active community,” said Charlie Dobbin of Richmond Hill, a CiB judge who, along with Angela Vieth of Waterloo Region, dropped into the area from July 27 to 29 to nose around. “After we leave here, we’ve got a lot of work to do.” The judges, who had just come in from a tour of Cornwall, stressed that they were not just looking at general tidiness, but also landscaping, heritage, conservation and environmental actions. “Your hanging baskets, they’re wonderful,” said Vieth, pointing to the bridge just outside of the Almonte Old Town Hall during their wrap-up presentation July 29. “This is very much a front garden program,” added Dobbin. “It is our face to the world.” “Those gateway signs are beautiful,” said Vieth. Vieth commended the local committee for getting young people involved in clean-up efforts. “That’s great, you rarely see that,” said Vieth, who added she enjoyed seeing the rain barrels being used behind The Hub, which are used to water the community garden near the Almonte public library. Mississippi Mills town Coun. Val Wilkinson welcomed the judges, and thanked them for the chance for the whole community to shine as a complete entity. “Our villages have long wanted some attention, and this is giving it to them,” said Wilkinson, since the judges’ itinerary included places like Blakeney, Appleton and Clayton on their tour. “The farms around here are beautiful,” said Vieth. “I grew up on a farm and they don’t always look so pretty.”

Loss of tracks to be a blow to counties
Continued from Front “Track materials will be utilized in other key areas of the CP network,” he explained. “I’m not in position to provide statements on the (railway’s) state of the nation,” said Greenberg politely, before emphasizing that CP’s focus remains on freight operations in Canada and the United States. The action will be a major disappointment for both Lanark and Renfrew county councilors, who have been trying to keep the rail line open. Greenberg suggested the end of railway service began when Rail America ended its lease agreement with CP over a year ago. The decision to salvage the railway tracks, and related equipment, is strictly a business decision, he said.
“It’s well documented Rail America terminated its lease agreement on these rail lines in 2009 and 2010, and then combined with the fact our company is efficiently using our core network, these lines are no longer required for operations.” As part of the salvage process, Greenberg says contractors “will be responsible to leave the right of way in a clean orderly fashion, free from railway debris. Road crossings will be restored to their (original) condition.” Lanark County, Renfrew County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron have each claimed first right of refusal for the abandoned rail beds for their respective section of the line between Smiths Falls and Mattawa.

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS
Continued from Front There had been a bit of a spruce up before the judges’ arrival, in places like Almonte’s Kirkland Park, and removing graffiti from the rock-cut at the intersection of County Road 29 and Cedar Hill Side Road, but some communities leave such tidying up until the last minute. “We’ll hear the sound of lawnmowers half-a-mile in front of us and (see) people frantically running with green garbage bags,” said Dobbin. Vieth was effusive in her praise of Pakenham. “We dropped in to Pakenham yesterday. It was gorgeous,” she said. “First impressions really count.” The duo also discovered that the Pakenham General Store is the oldest continuously operated store of its kind in Canada, having first opened its doors in 1840. Vieth also called the Mill of Kintail “beautiful.” The area’s natural beauty is evident, but during their walkabout of Almonte July 28, the judges’ took in the town’s architectural diversity as well. “The repurposing of the buildings here is wonderful,” said Dobbin. “You’re close to everything but you’re off the beaten track.” She did note that she had concerns about the lack of a grocery store in downtown Almonte, but Mississippi Mills town Coun. Alex Gillis pointed out that intensification for downtown Almonte was part of the town’s official plan. Vieth also commended Fay Develin for putting together a good information package on the area for the judge’s consideration.

Sizzling success at Bridge Street Bazaar CARLETON PLACE - For the sixth year in a row, the downtown segment of Bridge Street was closed for traffic for the Bridge Street Bazaar. More than 100 vendors set up shop along both sides of the street Saturday, filling the sidewalks with a variety of different wares. Accompanying these vendors was an abundance of live enter-
tainment. Music of all sorts of different genres were present, ranging from traditional Equadorian pan flute music to a mob of square dancers jigging to country music. The BIA estimated that 8,000 people attended the event – and as most barbecues were sold of out food by 2 p.m., the visitors were certainly hungry.
Top - Members of the Mississippi Squares emerged from under the tent beside the post office to begin square dancing on the road.

Bottom - Jean Marie Seguin, a musician busking with an electric guitar and a small battery-powered amplifier, enlivened the bazaar.

Legion readies for Afghan veteran appreciation day Carleton Place and area residents encouraged to honour soldiers whose combat mission ended last month DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Area residents can show their appreciation to the men and women of the armed forces, who are coming home from Afghanistan after Canada’s longest armed conflict. Iain Davidson, the past president of the Carleton Place Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192, is hoping residents from the town and beyond will be on hand to welcome the troops home for Afghanistan Veterans Appreciation Day on Sunday, Aug. 14, just as they did for Victory in Europe – VE Day – in 1945 and to celebrate the end of the First World War in 1918, “The town turned out to welcome the troops home and that’s why we’re encouraging the churches in town, to ring their bells at 1 p.m.,” said Davidson. The Ocean Wave Fire Company and the Carleton Place OPP have also agreed to turn on the sirens of their respective vehicles at the same time. The 42nd Field Regiment (Artillery) Lanark and Renfrew Scottish regiment from CFB Petawawa will also be taking part in the ceremonies as the day’s
special guests. “There is certainly a sense of relief that the combat phase of the mission is over,” said Davidson of the end of Canada’s combat role. “But (there is) the knowledge that those still over there are in danger. They’re still on the front lines and in the line of fire.” Three of the Carleton Place Legion’s members have served in Afghanistan, Leading Seaman Nicholas Montpetit, who served two tours in Afghanistan and is now serving on Canada’s west coast: Master Corporal Cheryl Crispin, now returned from Afghanistan: and Corporal Mike Dwyer, now serving at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa. The day will begin with a colour parade forming up in front of Carleton Place town hall at 12:30 p.m., before marching to the Carleton Place cenotaph in Memorial Park at the intersection of Franklin and Beckwith Streets. The parade will be led by the Renfrew Highlands Pipe Band. The sentry of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets 211 Lanark will take their positions at the cenotaph at 12:50 p.m. Also at 12:30
p.m., the Carleton Place and District Community Band will provide a musical interlude, with the wreath-laying ceremony at 1:05 p.m. The parade will return to town hall at 1:40 p.m., where the keys to the town and the freedom of the town will be presented to Afghanistan veterans by Deputy Mayor Ed Sonnenburg. “They (the 42nd Field Regiment) will accept the freedom of the town on behalf of the veterans, having served there,” said Davidson. At 2 p.m., the parade will continue over the bridge towards the legion branch at 177 George St. The branch president will present commemorative baseball caps to the Afghanistan veterans upon the parade’s arrival at 2:15 p.m. The entertainment and barbecue lunch will kick off at 2:30 p.m. The live entertainment will be provided by Dave Brown and the Valley Rovers as well as Johnny Spinks, and will begin at 3 p.m. Davidson himself did not see the veterans return from the Second World War, being only twoyears-old in 1945. “My best recollection is of the
Korean War and reading the announcements in the paper that the war began and when it was over,” Davidson said. “They (Korean veterans) were not really recognized for their contributions as the World War Two veterans were, even though they were as much on the line.” He admitted that the nature of war has changed a lot since the time of the Korean War and the two world wars. WAR CHANGED “It was a clear point in them when ceasefires were signed, and the enemy surrendered,” said Davidson. “In this case, it’s an ongoing event and there will probably never be a clear end to the war. It’s no longer armies fighting against each other. It’s more like a civil war.” He also pointed to the first Gulf War of 1991, where “the U.S. declared victory and pulled out,” of Iraq. The end of the Vietnam War in 1975 ended with the Americans in retreat. While the nature of war has changed, with the Afghanistan mission, so too has the face of the Canadian veteran, no longer
completely an old man with medals in a wheelchair on Remembrance Day. “It’ll certainly change what we think of as the face of the veteran,” said Davidson with the young men and women’s return. The average age of a Second World War veteran is now 86, while it is age 81 for a Korean veteran. “Time is not on their side,” said Davidson. “We’re looking to have the younger veterans join the Legion,” adding that the Legion must change too. While Canadian warplanes are joining their allies in the skies over Libya now, Davidson believes that it will be some time before Canada embarks on another major military mission. “We have used up a lot of our resources and now it is time to regroup and give a chance for the ones who have been spending so many years in Afghanistan to come home and spend some time here,” said Davidson. There will be transportation available for veterans who wish to be in the parade or attend the cenotaph service, but are unable to march the parade route. Please call the branch at 613-257-1727 to request transportation.

Sending out an SOS for stories of substance abuse DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Everyone has a story to tell of the uncle who always got drunk at Christmas dinner, or your friend’s sister who got addicted to Oxycontin. Now you can see those stories on stage, as part of an open call for stories of addiction and substance abuse, being organized as part of a multi-media stage production entitled SOS: Stories of Substance, organized by the Mississippi Mills municipal drug strategy committee. “We think that there will be powerful stories inside of each person,” said Jane Torrance, a liaison with the committee, and the community co-ordinator for the Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families. “We thought we’d like to do a theatrical production since we are such a dramatic community.” While the story of the drunken uncle has unfortunately become a common cultural reference point, Torrance is hoping telling the story from a personal perspective will shed light on just how pervasive the problem is in the community. “Everybody has an Uncle Bill who gets drunk at Christ-
mas time and then he’s fine the other 364 days of the year,” said Torrance. She hopes that the play will teach younger viewers that, “You don’t have to be Uncle Bill,” and that they will stress a message of moderation rather than abstinence from alcohol. Story submissions or queries can be emailed to sos.storiesofsubstance@gmail.com by Monday, Aug. 15. People can also come in to have their stories taped or dictated to a volunteer during a private meeting. Any stories taped will be re-recorded using an actor’s voice for the stage production to further protect the storyteller’s identity. “We are going to protect the anonymity of people, even if they don’t want to be protected,” said Torrance, adding it protects family members as well. The stories will then be taken and amalgamated in to the larger theatrical production. The Valley Players have come on board the project as mentors. “We haven’t identified the actors because we don’t know the parts,” said Torrance of the work in progress. The script will then be workshopped, with an eye towards a fall production, likely at a local venue like the Almonte Old Town Hall. There would probably be eve-
ning performances for adults, with daytime performances for school children in the area. While the details of the production are still being ironed out, Torrance and the committee have been putting out feelers in to the community, and other organizations, such as the Almonte and District High School Glee Club and the Sage Age Theatre Company, have both expressed an interest in being part of the production. PUPPETS, SONGS “We’re going to have the puppets,” Torrance said of Puppets Up! founder Noreen Young’s contribution. “And Fern White has said she will write a song.” The idea for the play sprang forth from the creative minds of Young, Rachael Eades of Taking Young People Seriously in Almonte, Almonte and District High School principal Laurie McCabe, Mississippi Mills chief administrative officer Diane Smithson, and Pakenham’s volunteering dynamo Fern Martin. The show will not simply be a collection of monologues, but will also likely feature dance, film and other stage elements. The local branch of the Lions Club has also put money to-
wards busing students in from Pakenham Public School to see the finished product, and the Town of Mississippi Mills is also supporting the initiative. “I already feel it is successful because we have people sitting around the table talking about it who were not talking about it a year ago,” said Torrance. She hopes that that play will be eye-opening not just for youngsters, but adults too. “So many people think that it is a youth issue,” said Torrance. “It is not. It is more of an issue for adults,” but she added it is easier to change the minds of youth through education, but adults can still pick up a lot. “We can tell them (adults) that their (kids’) first drunken experience would be at 13,” said Torrance. “We don’t want to tell them that it (would likely be) at Light Up The Night … The numbers for Lanark County are quite high for (young people’s) first drink.” Torrance hastened to add the play will not be a somber tragedy, bereft of any humour or lightness, and heavy on despair. “It won’t be all serious because we are a funny bunch,” said Torrance. “People will hear a different message and they will be entertained.”
Carleton Place accountant dies in boating mishap STAFF A well-known Carleton Place accountant was killed Monday when hit by a boat while swimming. John Warren Snelling, a Certified Public Accountant who worked out of a Bridge Street office, was hit by a boat on Wolfe Lake near Westport in the late morning. Snelling, 67, was reportedly swimming alone when he was struck by a boat pulling a waterskier. OPP were called to the scene, but have determined the boat wasn’t breaking any rules and no charges are likely. Snelling was known for his community service and generosity. He volunteered time in support of the local hospital, food bank and his church. Snelling was one of eight people killed in Ontario during tle long holiday weekend, say OPP. Police report six persons were killed in six separate collisions on OPP-patrolled roads throughout the province. There were also preliminary reports of one All-Terrain-Vehicle death and the one marine incident resulting in the loss of life.
Sleep Lab Added to the list of Services at CPDMH CPDMH’s vision is to be the communities’ leading partner in the provision of integrated healthcare services and the organization is constantly looking at ways to better serve the residents of our community. As a result, the hospital has added a sleep lab to its list of services. “We were receiving reports of long wait times for sleep lab services with no options close to home. This meant that our patients were waiting a long time for an important service,” stated Toni Surko, CEO of CPDMH. “We felt if was important to address the issue and we are thrilled to be able to provide the necessary services of a sleep lab closer to home.”
dents, poor job performance and decreased quality of life,” stated Lino DiNardo, Director of Corporate Development for the Hospital Alliance Group. “If you’re snoring, have daytime sleepiness or any of the disorders I have mentioned, please consult your physician for a sleep test. Our Specialists looks forward to helping you manage any sleep related ailments and will provide guidance in the treatment of such disorders.” A referral from your family physician is needed for the sleep lab so please talk with your doctor if you have any concerns about how your sleeping patterns may be affecting your health.
The sleep lab began providing services on June 21st and is operating in the Hospital’s Ambulatory Care Department from 9 pm – 6am, Monday – Friday. The lab is designed to conduct overnight sleep studies to help diagnose a wide range of sleep disorders, from insomnia and sleep apnea to snoring, narcolepsy and night movement disorders such as restless limb movement. As the demand for the service increases, it is expected that the hours will be expanded to include the 7 nights of the week. The service is being conducted in partnership with the Hospital Alliance Group which was formed to increase healthcare services to communities that could benefit from having multi-disciplinary specialists. The main objective of the company is to help provide diagnostic services to hospitals that might not have access to sleep and other specialists. “The Hospital Alliance Group is very excited to be working with CPDMH to provide sleep lab services to the community. We know that sleep disorders affects 15-20% of the population and if left untreated, can result in high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart attack, impotence, depression and arrhythmias. Sleep disorders patients also have daytime sleepiness which increases motor vehicle accidents, work related acci-

Nycole, you got some ‘splainin’ to do
Tragedy seems to bring out the crazies DESMOND DEVOY Des Says
Q
uebecers sent 59 New Democrat MPs to Ottawa this past May. Those winning 59 all went up against Bloc Quebecois candidates, and beat them fair and square, by all accounts. They did not vote for the BQ by proxy by voting for the NDP. That would be like voting to support the Liberals by voting Conservative, even though Quebec is not immune to strategic voting. But this week came word that the NDP’s new interim leader, former union leader Nycole Turmel, was a member of the Bloc Quebecois from 2006 until just this past January. A month later, she ran in the Gatineau area as a New Democratic candidate. We’ve seen this before in Quebec. Former Premier Lucien Bouchard literally belonged to, ran for, or at least flirted with, almost every mainstream party in the province. Even the late Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau, supported the NDP before running for the Liberals in 1965. Outside of Quebec, one is either a federalist or one is not. Within Quebec, however, the labels are a little bit more fluid. Even so, it underlines some of the uneasiness fellow Canadians are having about just where the NDP’s now burgeoning Quebec ranks sit on the whole soverignty debate. Canada’s youngest-ever MP, 19-year-old Pierre-Luc Dusseault of Sherbrooke, stated on a radio show this past spring that “the NDP and I respect soverignty. Soverignty will be done in Quebec. Quebecers will decide if they want to be a country.” As M. Dusseault’s comments, reported in the National Post, demonstrate, the Orange Tide lifted many ships, some of whom may have separatist leanings. We’re not sure since some of the candidates were given somewhat of a free ride on Jack Layton’s coat-tails. Just because someone was once a separatist does not mean that they should forever be precluded from holding high office in the federal system. But there are serious questions that need to be raised since Turmel – as least until Layton’s hopedfor return in September – will be the head of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition for the next several weeks. Her job title says she must remain loyal to the Queen. Can she do the same for Canada?

InSpire Church sets vision To the Editor: Several of you in this readership, both from those who do, or do not attend churches in the Carleton Place and surrounding areas, have heard about this new inSPIRE Church (“Place of worship,” Canadian Gazette, June 23). You may still have questions as to who we are and what’s our vision and purpose. Well, thanks to this great paper, we have this opportunity to explain. My name is Rick Lamothe, married to Donna. Both of us took early retirements as captains from the Canadian Forces back in 1994. We both had been working at National Defence in Ottawa. I am actually an Ottawa native while Donna is from Newfoundland. We moved to Vancouver in 1994 where I did my masters of religious education. We came back to Ottawa in 1998 where we started, from nothing, Sequoia Community Church. Sequoia has become a great church because of its practical involvement in the community. It is well known and well
loved in Barrhaven. Now that 13 years have passed, we felt it was time for a more comprehensive and holistic vision in how to live healthy lives and bring the practical reality of church into the community. So what is inSPIRE? It is an intentional look at the different components of what makes up everyone’s life - spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational and emotional. In the Great Commandment, God asks us to love Him with all of who we are and then to love our neighbours as ourselves. The best way to love is when we are intentional about maximizing health in those five areas of our lives. Then we can love God and others to the fullest. At inSPIRE, we are going to offer journeys and churches all over the National Capital Region, in both English and French to accomplish this goal. And the first inSPIRE Church will be in Carleton Place, led by my American buddy, Pastor Scott Ridenour.

The freaks don’t come out at night any more, they come out on talk radio. And in the Italian cabinet. The atrocious shooting spree and government building bombings in Norway last month have been widely condemned by, well, anybody with a working heart and brain – and well they should. Even the shooter’s lawyer has admitted that his client is, well, no way to put this nicely, nuts. But every tragedy hits what I like to call the Idiot Wall. That’s when someone decides that the world has been holding its breath to know what they think about the incident – or, put another way, every nutbar feels that, they too, deserve their moment in the sun. Comedians especially think that they can mine comedic gold out of a sensational headline – often with varied results. Comedian Gilbert Gottfried was fired as the voice of the Aflac duck on the TV commercials because of supposed “jokes” he made about the Japanese disaster triumvirate of earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster this past March. As the poor people of Norway grieved for, and buried, their dead, and came to terms with what had happened in their normally sleepy corner of the world, right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck decided that he needed to get his two cents worth in. He felt the need to remark that, maybe, the teenagers gathered on Utøya Island were like the Hitler Youth, because their camp-out was organized by the Norwegian Labour Party. “(It) sounds a little like the Hitler Youth,” said Beck on the radio. “Who does a camp for kids that’s all about politics. Disturbing.” Yes, who would run a camp for politically-minded youth? How about you, Beck. The Vancouver Sun reports that his own political organization holds a “Constitutional Champions Summer Patriot Camp.” See ‘KILLER’, page 9 Publisher’s Liability: The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever arising from errors in advertisements beyond actual amount paid for space used by the part of the advertisement containing the error.

Opinion
do not see new church as rival,” Canadian Gazette, July 25). We feel people don’t care much for denominational labels these days - they just want to focus on the main essence of the Christian message. Being non-denominational, we will be able to partner with any kind of churches, independent of their denomination. That excites us. Pastor Rick Lamothe Stittsville
Continued from page 8 It’s a camp for children, similar to the Tea Party’s Summer Camp being held in Florida and Missouri. (A word about making a comparison about anything in this day and age to Hitler – don’t. Just don’t. It is so not worth it, makes the debate lose focus, and ultimately does more harm than good.) Torbjørn Eriksen, the former press secretary to Norway’s prime minister, Jens Stoltenberg, correctly pointed out that
the young people were gathered “to learn about and be part of democracy, the very opposite of what the Hitler Youth was about. Glenn Beck’s comments are ignorant, incorrect and extremely hurtful,” according to quotes in The Daily Telegraph. And it’s nice to see that the Italians have gotten that whole fiscal crisis, and north African refugee problem under wraps. How else to explain comments by a former minister of Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi’s cabinet,
Francesco Speroni, who said that the Norwegian shooter’s “ideas are in defence of western civilization.” Great minds think alike – and fools seldom differ. And when it comes to defending western civilization, we’ll let sane people take care of that, thank you very much. As Bill Clinton once said, “Our words really do matter. There is this vast echo chamber, and the words fall on the serious and delirious alike.”

ALMONTE – Every parent knows that their child is one in a million. Melissa Percy, however, wishes that her child wasn’t one in 600. That’s because her daughter, three-year-old Autumn, belongs to a very exclusive club, of young children who suffer from Smith Magenis Syndrome (SMS). “It’s a deletion in chromosome 17,” explained Percy as she sat at her family kitchen table in Almonte, bouncing her daughter on her knee, while her husband Jarvis gave some milk to their youngest child, 15-month-old Amelia. “She’s missing some important genes,” she added, explaining the disease passionately, but what must also be for the thousandth time. “It affects her sleeping, behaviour, both physically and mentally.” Her sleeping pattern is also inverted, and she produces melatonin during the afternoon when it is supposed to be produced naturally in the body at night. The University of Maryland’s medical centre’s web site defines melatonin as a hormone that regulates “the body’s circadian
rhythm … (which is) an internal 24-hour ‘clock’ that plays a critical role in when we fall asleep and when we wake up.” So, 3 p.m. feels like our 3 a.m., making for a sometimes cranky little girl. As such, mom and dad have to be militant about her schedule, which took them twoand-a-half years to get her on to: 6:30 p.m. is dinner, 7:30 p.m. bathtime, and 8 p.m. is bed time, no ifs, ands or buts. Melissa and Jarvis have tried melatonin strips, which, while they do get her to sleep, make her even more aggressive the next morning. “I would rather not sleep than have her banging her head all day,” said Melissa. Another symptom is multiple temper tantrums, which come one after the other, lasting from two to three hours, which can also result in head-banging. Autumn also has a hard time swallowing, which has affected which types of foods she can eat. She was eating pureed foods until about a year ago. According to Melissa, there are only 600 such cases in the world, including her daughter. “It’s very, very rare,” Melissa said. “Parents usually only find out when their kids go to school.

Jarvis Percy lifts his daughter Autumn, 3, high up into the sky in their living room. Usually it is chalked up to autism.” Melissa and Jarvis, however, demanded that genetic testing be carried out on their first-born daughter when she was only two weeks old when they realized that something was not quite right. “We had a couple of doctors suggest that it could be Downs Syndrome,” said Melissa. They finally received their diagnosis and it came as a shock,
not only to the parents, but the doctor as well. “She said, ‘I’ve never diagnosed this before,’” Melissa recalled the doctor saying. “But we’ll learn this together.” All the doctor had to go on was what she had been able to glean from medical websites, underscoring just how little medical research has been done on the syndrome. After she was diagnosed, neither Jarvis nor Melissa told anyone about their
daughter’s condition, outside of their extended family, until the physical signs became more apparent. “She’s developed much slower than a normal child,” said Melissa, who added that when her friend’s children were hitting their milestones, Autumn was lagging behind. “She’s nine months old and she should be sitting up,” said Melissa. When other parents would boast about their child’s milestones, Melissa would find herself thinking, “hmm, when is this going to happen for me.” It took Autumn about a year to begin crawling, and she was 25 months old when she began to walk (sister Amelia, by comparison, began walking at 13 months). “Autumn had to work so much harder to get there,” said Melissa. She is just starting to talk, though she is learning sign language and is undergoing speech therapy. See ‘TODDLER’s’, page 13

Education
ADHS alumni revisit school after 50 years SAM COOLEY A reunion was hosted Saturday for past Almonte District High School alumni, who gathered at the Community Centre. Inside was a gallery of age-old photographs printed off and pasted on the walls with memorable quotes on the sides. Photos of former principals, past track and field events, and classes from the 1950s and 1960s were viewed with smiles by an older generation. Garry Currie, a past teacher and coach at Almonte District High School, held tours of the school in the afternoon Saturday. An older dark-haired man pushed open the side door to the school and approached the group assembling for the tour. Bob Carruthers had graduated from the very same school over 50 years ago. Although living in Stittsville now, Carruthers had lived in Carp. He rode in to Almonte on the first school bus to ever come to the school. “At one point in time,” noted Currie, while running the tour, “30 per cent of the school was from Carp.” Many other differences were noted during the tour. Passing by one out-of-placelooking brick wall, Currie pointed to it. Back when the school was heated with coal, that segment of the wall used to be a coal chute. Now it has been sealed, and today a thin metal radiator stretches along the wall. Des Millar was a graduate of ADHS in the late 1950s. He was excited to see the
shop classes and tech rooms, as well as the gymnasium. Most of what he saw he described to be incomparable. Millar‘s expression lit up as he observed all the different aspects of the automotive shop at the school. When brought to the gym, he was blown away “We had a small gym,” he said, eyes wide “Not even half this size!” With all the obvious differences and additions made to the school in the past 50 years, the alumni did mention some nostalgia that they felt while walking through the hallways. “This is still the same,” said Carruthers as he walked up a small flight of stairs, “I always remember going from one class to another and having to walk up and down small staircases everywhere I went.” Carruthers also said the rules for smoking were more strict back in the 1950s, which is surprising. “I remember being told I had to walk at least a block away from the school in order to smoke,” said Carruthers. Nowadays, many students stand only a few feet outside the school. Passing by the display cases of football jerseys brought a smile to some faces, ones who once played on the same team with the same level of pride that can be seen today by ADHS students. If one thing has not changed, it is the level of pride found in the attitudes of past and present football players. “Almonte always won the tournaments back in the day,” muttered Millar as he Bob Carruthers (left, graduated 1953) peers through the window in to the Communications Technology classroom, filled with computers and gadgets of the 21st century. peered into the Gymnasium.
Des Millar (graduated 1957) walks through the gym, amazed at the vast size difference between it and the gymnasium that existed in the 1950s.

ALMONTE – The Hub, located on Mill Street in Almonte, is looking for extra garbage bag tags. The Hub needs to dispose of donations that are not suitable for resale or recycling, some of which are large. Extra Mississippi Mills garbage bag tags are an appreciated donation and can be dropped off at The Hub. Mississippi Mills garbage tags are mailed out the third week of August and are valid from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31.
Toddler’s brave SMS battle Continued from page 11 Even with her difficulties, her proud mum is quick to note that “she’s the most loving child,” and is the unofficial “greeter” at the Almonte Day Care Centre. Melissa commended the social service agencies at Lanark County and Mississippi Mills for all of the help they have provided her daughter, which has made a difficult situation a little bit more manageable. “I try to educate people as much as I can,” said Melissa. “I some days wish she had Downs Syndrome, because then you can physically see that she is different.” Sometimes she has even had to explain the disease to emergency room doctors, who look at her as though she simply Google’d some symptoms online and stuck that moniker on her daughter. “I really want her to be accepted,” Melissa said. “I want people to understand that it is not bad parenting or she is not being a bad child. It’s out of her control.” The Percy family is aware of only two other families like theirs in Ontario. They visited one of the families in Sault Ste. Marie, and recently met up with another family in Ottawa whose little girl was diagnosed back in February. “We’re very lucky to have met them,” said Melissa. “They completely understand it.” The Percy family remains hopeful for Autumn’s future. “I never say Autumn won’t do this,” said Melissa. “I know that she will. It’ll just take her longer.”

Local beaches closed due to E. coli levels Beaches in Almonte and Carleton Place were closed this week after testing high for E. coli levels. Higher than normal levels often result from heavy rainfall. Bacteria levels are detected in
water samples, which are collected from several areas around the beach on a weekly basis. “Every week there seems to be one or two,” said Susan Healey, communications co-ordinator for the Lanark Leeds and Gren-
ville health unit, which monitors the beaches. New results are posted Friday mornings on the health unit web site at http://www.healthunit. org/water/test/beach_results. htm

Dump truck collides with SUV in Almonte ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@metroland.com
A Gatineau man was airlifted to hospital via Ornge Rescue Helicopter after his SUV collided with a dump truck at 10:23 a.m. at the intersection of Old Perth Road and Regional Road 29 near Almonte on Wednesday, July 27. The driver of the dump truck, an Eganville man, was unharmed. Police did not release the name of the driver of the SUV but did say he was in serious condition. Sgt. Rob Croth of the Lanark County OPP said the road was shut down for three to four hours while police conducted their investigation. Traffic between Carleton Place and Almonte was diverted to Ramsay Concession Road 8. One local resident, Pamela Turgeon – who lives on Old Perth Road - said this section of Regional Road 29 is particularly dangerous due to the high volume of traffic and drivers constantly overtaking each other. “If you’re not speeding 20 kilometres over they just overtake you,” she said. “It’s just begging for accidents.”
No charges laid as community mourns GEOFF DAVIES geoff.davies@metroland.com
PERTH - The hunt for the truck that killed Benjamin Rogers is over. On July 27, four days after the 18-year-old Tay Valley Township man was found dead on Highway 7, Ontario Provincial Police announced the tractor-trailer operator had turned himself in. The driver, a 25-year-old Belleville man, told police he may have been the one who hit Rogers. He said he thought Rogers was a deer when his truck struck him near Innisville at about 2:50 a.m. in the early hours of July 23. In a press release, police said evidence collected at the scene
and independent witnesses confirm the driver’s account. There are no charges pending, say police. The flag on the front lawn of the Stewart School flew at halfmast last Thursday morning, when about 400 people filled the gym for Rogers’ funeral service. A recent graduate of Perth and District Collegiate Institute and an avid hockey player, outdoorsman and athlete, Rogers was mourned by family, friends, colleagues and teammates at the July 28 service. He leaves behind his parents Colleen and Lawrence, brothers Curtis and David, his girlfriend Brittany Strank, his grandmother Mary Nagle, and several aunts, uncles and close friends.

A country hoedown had a local flavour Sunday at Wendy’s Country Market near Lyndhurst. Some half dozen chefs, producers, growers and farmers alike met in a market-style atmosphere complete with hot-buttered corn and entertainment by the Grindstone Cowboys. Glen Albert, and his son Danny, 13, of Almonte, are part of that band. Danny will be a street performer this weekend in Almonte at the annual Puppets Up! event Aug. 6 and 7.

Pure Earth Water
Water is in the news! Is your tap water good for you? What about bottled water? Are we being eco-friendly buying all those plastic bottles of water? What is the best water? What is an affordable water solution? So many questions. Let’s look at what we do know: we all need water , lots of water, clean, mineralized, alkaline water. Why? Because the human body is 75% water and the human brain is 85% water and extremely sensitive to dehydration. Mild dehydration can slow your metabolism by as much as 3% - that’s a lot. Water is the main source of energy. Did you know that lack of water is the number one cause of daytime fatigue? Many people exist their whole life in a state of low-level dehydration. We can eat right, supplement and exercise and still not reach optimal health unless we are effectively hydrated – with good water.
So what are the important characteristics of water? Purity and pH are key to good water says Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD (The pH Miracle). “By providing alkaline water to neutralize and remove acid from the tissues, you’ll stop the body from gleaning alkaline substances from other body parts to do the job – from leaching calcium from your bones. How do we get clean, mineralized water? Creating a “healthy water” means removing the harmful agents while retaining beneficial minerals. According to Dr. John Sorenson, a leading authority on mineral metabolism, “Minerals in drinking water are more easily and better absorbed than minerals from food.” Santevia Gravity Water Systems recreate the Earth’s perfect process of purifying, mineralizing, alkalinizing and vitalizing water. Each drop of ordinary tap water is gravity dripped, resulting in long-contact exposure to earth-derived elements transforming it into the most vital and complete pure water

desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ALMONTE – When it comes to outdoor adventures, an Almonte family has certainly lived the lives of high-seas explorers. Not only did Lisa and Marc Labonte, owners of the new Vamos outdoor apparel and equipment store at 14 Mill St., sail three-fourths of the way around the world, but they started their young family on the ocean as well. “We were living in Ottawa and it had always been a dream of my husband’s to sail around the world when we retired,” said Lisa. But the couple, who worked in the high tech sector, decided that with the dawn of the new millennium, they had had enough of the rat race, and so they decided to jump ahead a few years. “We were able to save some money and buy an old boat,” said Lisa. “We quit our jobs, sold off all of our possessions and set sail. We’ve always sought out new adventures and the world is such a great place to explore.” The couple decided that they would remain on the seas for three to five years, “or as long as we thought we were having fun,” said Lisa. While the couple liked spending more time together and working as a team, working in a confined space, with the same person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, did take its toll. “There are a lot of adjustments that have to be made,” said Lisa. She estimated it took up to 18 months to fully become accustomed to their new way of living. The couple plied the waters of the Caribbean for 18 months before making a trail to the Panama Canal. “Once you get into the Pacific Ocean and head west, there’s no turning back,” said Lisa. While there are many tropical birds that fly over the south Pacific, the stork was somehow able to find the couple’s boat in the midst of the vast waters. “We realized we were pregnant with baby number one and we decided to stay in New Zealand to have the baby,” said Lisa, with a smile. “We knew we would be there for a while.” They pulled ashore, and spent a time traipsing around New Zealand in a converted camper van, before arriving in the city of Nelson where daughter Emilie

was born on May 3, 2005. After the birth, the young family headed back out onto the ocean, as hurricane season came to a close. They sailed towards Thailand, making their way through Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Singapore. Sailing through Indonesia, with its hundreds of islands, large and small, proved to be the most daunting part of that stretch of the trip. “Travelling now with three of us on board was not without its challenges,” remembered Lisa. “My husband did a lot of single sailing while I looked after my child.” Keeping an eye on a child, even on dry land, can be a full-time job, and making Submitted photo sure an infant learning to crawl did not go overboard, made the difficult task of Lisa and Marc Labonte pose on the deck of their ship, the Nahanni, anchored off the coast of the island of Bora Bora in French Polynesia in the south Pacific Ocean. parenting even more so. “The boat was like a whole play pen,” said Marc. “The boat was fish-net from top to bottom,” to keep Emilie penned in. “We never took our eyes off of Emilie for two years,” said Marc. “When we got to Singapore, I was burned out.” Mother Nature also made things difficult for the family, such as gale force winds and 30-metre waves during the journey. The old boat also created its own drama, with engine breakdowns, torn sails and the like. “We were sometimes caught up with bad weather coming through (and) we would lie on the floor of the bridge and take 20-minute turns sailing,” said Marc. THANKS TO In Indonesia, pirates were another hazard to contend with. Sometimes, Marc CHIROPRACTIC CARE would receive warnings over the radio that a boat was headed right his way. “You have a few moments of panic (thinking it is pirates), until you look out and see it is a fishing boat, and they want 3 Costello Dr. Carleton Place • (613) 253-8813 to sell you fish,” said Marc. Marc found the straits of Indonesia w w w.murphyhealthcentre.com 487671 poorly mapped out, so he would sometimes have to take the dinghy out while the boat was anchored to check out the depths of the water. However, for all of the difficulties that came with raising an infant on the ocean, there were positives too. “We were fortunate that we were able to spend all of this time as a family when she was so young,” said Lisa. The couple now has three children, Teah, born May 26, 2008, born shortly after their return to Almonte, and Ben, Thursday, August 18 born March 3, 2010. See LAND-HO, page 20 11:30am - 2:00pm

Continued from page 19 “We were beginning to feel we were missing our friends and our family,” said Lisa. “Having kids changes you.” The couple decided in Thailand to sell their boat, the trusty Nahanni, when they found out that they were pregnant with baby number two. While spending years on the waves might seem puzzling to some, for Marc life back on dry land is proving to be an adjustment. “It’s culture shock,” said Marc. “You’re back in the rat race. ” Meanwhile, the store will have its official opening day this Friday, Aug. 5 at 10 a.m., just in

I am hoping to fill that void.” The couple and their family still remain active even after having put down roots here. “I’m a running enthusiast,” said Lisa. “We would surf, we do a ton of water sports. We’ve been paddling, canoeing for 20 years. We are always hiking. My husband is an avid free diver.”

People First ‘changing lives for the better’ Advocacy group celebrates its fifth anniversary JOHN CARTER John.carter@metroland.com
It was a good-old fashioned love-in. The fifth anniversary of People First, held at the Carleton Place Legion July 21, was an evening of celebration and pride in the accomplishments of the advocacy group for people with intellectual disabilities. About 100 people attended, including most of Carleton Place council. People First of Lanark County president Kory Earle was recognized for his efforts in reviving the organization in Lanark County and turning it into a force on the local scene. He was praised for his success in promoting awareness of the People First goals, for gaining respect for the organization from all levels of government, creating mutually beneficial partnerships, and most of all being a friend and inspiration for the group’s members. As one member said in an impromptu speech at the event, “we thank him for letting us talk it out.” Former Community Living executive director Rick Tutt told the assembled group of wellwishers that the Lanark unit is the most active People First
It was an evening of laughter and tears for People First president Kory Earle.
group in the province. In recognition of his leadership skills, Earle has been elected People First of Ontario president. The organization has become “an important force” that is “much respected” in the community, said Tutt. “It’s played a huge role in people’s lives.” Tutt, who asked Earle and Dave Mckillop to revive the group five years ago, said he is proud of the progress they have made. “You’ve become our role models,” he said. In introducing Earle, Dee Dee Steele said he has a special ability to cheer people up and make them laugh. He has helped many people over rough times and could help many more if People First was given greater funding, she said. In his speech, Earle said the group has made great strides in ensuring its members live in dignity and respect. “We have given people a voice …. and changed many attitudes (in the community),” he said, noting they successfully lobbied to have strikers stop picketing group homes. FOOD BANK CHALLENGE Earle issued two challenges to the audience and the community. He urged people to donate regularly to area food banks. He pledged $20 worth of food and challenged everyone to do the same. “Don’t judge people (using the food bank), just know they need help,” he said. He also appealed to everyone to discourage the use of the ‘R’ (retarded) word. It’s insensitive and hurtful, he said, stressing everyone deserves acceptance and respect. Earle said support from the members and the community has made the success of People First possible. He had special praise for People First executive assistant Kathy Sequin, who received the President’s award for all her hard work and dedication to the cause. “She does a remarkable job,” he said. Janet Kent, who received the special wishes award from Earle and vice-president Joan Morin, as she is moving to Rockland, is an example of the benefits of membership. She has come out of her shell and made great strides, now inspiring others to be the best they can be, said Earle.

live,” presented Earle with a certificate. The town had officially proclaimed July 21 People First Day in Carleton Place. “The efforts to take control of your lives is an inspiration to us all,” said Flynn, who has been a backer of the group from its beginning. “All of us have disabilities,” he said. “Some are a little more visible than others.” Former Mississippi Mills Coun. Brenda Hurrle, who emceed the event, said Earle’s enthusiasm and understanding needs to be emulated in the larger community. Local school trustee Anne McRae applauded Earle for his courage in taking on the task of reviving the organization and for advocating on behalf of others. Kim O’Connor of the Mills Community Supports said the two groups will continue to work together, drawing on each other’s expertise. Earle’s parents, Paul Earle and Cindy Showers, and grandmother were also on hand to present him with awards.
“She has helped our program create acceptance and respect in the community,” he noted, adding she also raised more than $1,000 in walkathon pledges for People First. In return, Kent and Morin presented Earle with a gift of appreciation and affection. Several other awards were presented, including a five-year certificate award to the Town of Carleton Place for its support. Both Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Coun. Jerry Flynn praised Peoples First’s contributions to Carleton Place.

PAKENHAM – How fast can one shear a sheep? Why not drop by the Pakenham Fall Fair on Aug. 13 and find out. “We have a sheep-shearing demonstration ‌ (and) we’ve been trying to get Ross Creighton out for years,â€? said Nicole Guthrie, the cultural and community programmer with the Town of Mississippi Mills, about the fair’s newest addition. Two other new faces who will be front and centre at the fair will be Al and Toby Barratt, who will open this year’s fair and lead off the noon parade. They will be recognized in keeping with the fair’s tradition of putting local farming families in the limelight. “We’ve honoured a lot of the farm community,â€? said Guthrie. “Al and Toby have put in a lot of hours in to the fair,â€? as well as with the Pakenham Horse Association. Guthrie is also hoping another fan favourite will return this year. “We are hoping that the military comes back this year,â€? said Guthrie, following up on last year’s display of military hardware from Canadian Forces Base Petawawa. “That was a great addition to last year’s event.â€? While the soldier’s are returning from their long engagement in Afghanistan, road warriors from the town’s roads and public works department will also likely have their own hardware on display, like snow plows. “(Kids) like to get up and climb on
the equipment,� said Guthrie. The Pakenham Fall Fair will be held Saturday, Aug. 13, at the Pakenham Community Park and the Stewart Community Centre, 112 MacFarlane St. The fair opens with a breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. at the fairgrounds concession stand at a cost of $6 per person. The meal will be served by the McMillan’s ladies’ broomball team. If you are still hungry, the Cedar Hill Zion United Church Women’s group will be hosting a bake sale in the lobby of the community centre at 9 a.m., the same time as the viewing of the fair exhibits begins. For even more food options, there will be a farmer’s market on site from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., roughly the same time as the craft and trade show, though that ends at 4 p.m. The food continues with a barbecue and refreshments at 11 a.m. in the canteen. The fair officially opens at noon at the baseball diamond, followed by a parade. At 12:30 p.m., the fair will welcome its newest attraction with a sheepshearing demonstration. There are plenty of activities at the children’s tent beside the baseball diamond for the younger set with a petting farm at 10 a.m., fun and play starting at 11 a.m., frog jumping competition at 1 p.m. and a teddy bear and stuffed animal competition at 1:30 p.m. The horse show begins at the ball diamond in the park starting at 9:30 a.m., while the more bovine-minded can see the 4-H calf show at Fred Millar Field
at 10 a.m. The petting zoo opens at 10 a.m. beside the baseball diamond. The horse-skidding event has been moved to noon, and for Guthrie, it is an event not to be missed. “If you’ve not seen a horse skidding (a log), it is well worth the low price of $3,� said Guthrie. The Madawaska Pleasure Riders will also have a course set up for the horses after lunch. The Fall Flower and Vegetable Show will also be held Aug. 12 and 13, hosted by the Horticultural Society. Children can also take part in an arts and crafts competition.There will also be competitions for quilting, knitting and crocheting, sewing, arts and crafts, photography, baked goods, pickles and relish, jams and jellies and other foods. “It’s a great thing to do to stay inside and make some crafts for the fair on a hot summer day,� suggested Guthrie. She also had another suggestion to beat the heat when you are at the fair. “Visitors can bring their bathing suits and have a dip in the river if the water quality cooperates,� said Guthrie. According to research carried out Submitted photo in the Pakenham library, scouring the The horse show is one of the crowd favourites at the Tweedsmuir papers, written between Pakenham Fall Fair, being held Aug. 13. 1855 and 1862, the oldest mention of the Pakenham Fair was in 1861. But even then, the writing indicated that that year’s fair was not the first, meaning that the fair is more than 150 For Mrs. Mary Yuill of Pembroke & Guests years old. SATURDAY, AUGUST 6TH at 9:30 AM “It would be nice to have a concrete Viewing at 8:00 am date,� said Guthrie to nail down an anheld at the Cobden Astrolabe Arena niversary date. ’81 Terry Taurus 22’ house trailer (like new), riding lawn mowers,

After scoring one run in the first, the Attack bats were rolling and they scored seven in the second and four in the third to end the game. Kirsi Maharaj and Bronwyn Ferguson were 2 for 2 and had key hits in the rallies. Kiley O’Connor picked up a triple and Godin a homerun. The Valley girls’ bats were hard to stop now, as they next mercied another Peterborough squad 20-2 in three innings. Baylis, Kelly Meek and Julia Dick were hot offensively and scored three runs each. Cardona allowed two runs in the first but settled in and struck out four in the next two innings for the win. The fourth game was between the Attack and the only other undefeated team, the Pickering Heat. As in the previous games, the Attack started fast with three runs in the first inning. Pickering would not fold, though, and scored two in the second and two in the third for a 4-3 lead. The Attack would not be denied, as they had multiple hits from Alisha O’Connor, Cardona, Kiley O’Connor and Meek including homeruns by the O’Connor girls to produce a 10-

The Ottawa Valley Attack girl’s fastball team headed to Port Perry on the weekend to try to qualify for the Provincials. The team, sponsored by NeilCorp Homes/West End Forming, not only qualified but came home with the gold medal in the 12-team double-knockout event. The team has members from several Upper Ottawa Valley communities, including Carleton Place, Almonte and Pakenham. In the first game against Peterborough, pitcher Jean Cardona, threw a one-hitter, striking out 11 and led the team to an impressive 6-0 win. The defence was solid as Cardona faced only 24 batters in seven-innings. Alex Baylis of Carleton Place started a two-run Attack first inning with a single and scored on Aisha O’Connor’s triple. Cardona grounded out to second to plate O’Connor. In the third inning, the Attack increased the lead to 3-0 on a walk to O’Connor, a stolen base and a Cardona single. Kiley O’Connor led off the fourth inning with a double and scored on a single by Emily AtkinsonJones for a 4-0 lead. In the fifth, with Alisha O’Connor on, Tawny Godin hit a homerun to add two more runs to for a 6-0 lead. In game two, the Attack faced Ajax Raiders, who had beat Barrie Storm in their first game.

Gold, silver, bronze for AMMAA
POLO FOR HEART
A team of six Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) competitors and their coach – all from Alpha Mixed Martial Arts (AMMA) in Carleton Place – won gold, silver and bronze medals at the Jiu-Jitsu World Championships in California in June. “Not bad for a club from a small town like Carleton Place,” said the proud team leaders. The team competed in the Mundials, the largest (more than 1,500 competitors) and most important tournament held by the International BJJ Federation. Rindi Piepers won his inaugural bout, and in his second match developed a solid lead on points, but tapped to an arm bar before the round ended. Michael Tremblay, one of 116 competitors in his division, demonstrated near perfect jiu-jitsu in his first match, easily applying an arm bar and getting his opponent to tap out. His second challenger came out stronger than the first, but Tremblay surrendered him to an arm bar as well. In the third match, he faced a far more technically sound opponent. In an impressive match, he lost narrowly 4-2 to the eventual silver medalist. Lisa Tanguay and Alison Tremblay fought in the same division, with Tanguay
Polo players Laura Willson and Constance Reiss ride through the rain to give a preview of what is to come during the Ottawa Polo for Heart Tournament to be held this weekend, Aug. 6 and 7, at Huntingford Farm on Upper Dwyer Hill Road. The two-day competition will raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario and will be the first professional polo tournament Ottawa has seen in over 20 years. Photo by Courtney Symons
losing in the first round to the eventual gold medalist. Alison was a competitor to be reckoned with, quickly submitting her first opponent to an arm bar. In match two, she again dominated her opponent from beginning to end. In the finals, Alison fought a very tough back-and-forth match, but lost narrowly on points. Her amazing effort earned her a silver medal. Sherri McCann came out strongly in her first match, finishing with a 4-0 lead. She moved on to the semi-finals, but despite her best efforts was submitted by the competitor who would later take the gold. McCann’s performance allowed her to take the bronze medal. On day two, Alison, Tanguay, and McCann competed well in the absolute division with competitors from all weight classes, winning five matches between them. On the third day of competition, Jessica Mcneil won gold, the second consecutive year AMMA has returned from California with a gold medal. The team’s unsung hero was coach Peter Tremblay, who worked with each athlete to improve the weakest components of their game and organized several fundraisers to make the trip possible.

Politics
STAFF Megan Cornell, Liberal candidate in the upcoming provincial election, is a community activist and self-proclaimed consensus builder who claims to mirror the provincial Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding’s image as a family-oriented, high tech, community-based haven. Speaking at her nomination meeting on July 9 at the Kanata Recreation Centre, Cornell portrayed herself as a consensus builder whose
NDP candidate to be chosen this Sunday
experience working in the community means that she can best represent the riding and its residents at Queen’s Park. Cornell pledged to fight for the interests of families and individuals in the riding, such as working for a health hub facility like the one currently being developed in Orleans. Such a health hub would have a specialty seniors diagnosis centre, youth mental health facilities, family health teams and other health services. She also promised to be a watchdog on education issues, helping solve overcrowding issues in local schools and championing the need for new schools in the area. As a daily user of public transit, she painted herself as a person who knows the importance of an efficient and affordable public transit
system. As a former president of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce, she came out in support of supporting the business community. “Small businesses really do form the backbone of our community,” she said, noting their role not only in providing jobs but ensuring that local communities are thriving and liveable places. A mother of two young sons, she portrayed herself as the candidate “who understands the pressures of raising a family in this hectic, justin-time life.” She said that as an MPP she would work with the many groups and individuals in the community for its betterment. The Carleton-Mississippi Mills provincial riding includes Stittsville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Kanata, West Carleton and Mississippi Mills.
MP to meet constituents in Almonte session Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor will hold a meet-the-constituents meeting in Almonte Tuesday, Aug. 16. The 6:30 p.m. round-table session at the Almonte Library is one of a series of six the MP is holding in the riding. The meetings are held to give constituents an opportunity to raise issues with their MP. The sessions allow O’Connor to identify concerns in the riding and meet with constituents on a personal level. Constituents are invited to just drop by and say hello or talk about a specific issue. The round-table discussion will be followed by private meetings held on a first-comefirst-served basis. As well as the Almonte meeting, there will be gatherings in Kanata Aug. 8, Carp Aug. 9, Stittsville Aug. 10, Richmond Aug. 15 and Fitzroy Harbour Aug. 17.

Liberal candidate prepares for election
Coldwell Banker Rideau Heartland Realty Ltd.
CANADIAN GAZETTE STAFF MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Two candidates, Jim Houston of Munster and Liam Duff of Kanata, will face off at the nomination meeting for the NDP candidate in the upcoming provincial election. The nomination meeting will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 7 at the Mlacak Centre in Kanata. “We’ve seen a spike in memberships and strong interest following Jack Layton’s success federally and the rise in the polls for Ontario Leader Andrea Horwath, and locally this is translating into an interesting nomination race,” said Morgan Goddard, president of the C-MM NDP provincial riding associatio Houston, born in Almonte, is a retired Canadian Auto Worker member and worked as an aircraft instrument technician at Sperry Gyroscope-Honeywell Aerospace. Now a Munster resident, he is married with two sons. “I entered to effect real change in Ontario and win this riding for the NDP,” said Houston. “The NDP has always meant to me a party of the people, and when elected they are the party for the people.” In a stark contrast, Duff is a 21year-old University of Ottawa student focused on engaging youth in politics. He comes from a military family, with his father an artillery major in the army, and his mother with a background in municipal politics. “Our strong voice in Parliament is now echoed by that of a generation of young people who will inherit the fallout of our decisions today,” Duff said. “The wisdom of the NDP is currently aligned with the energy of the youth. Let’s use that and move forward.” People interested in getting involved or learning more about the NDP can view the website at www.ontariondp.com, or contact the local riding association at cmmNDPadmin@gmail.com.

Second time lucky for Georgina Doe On July 21, second time lucky for Georgina Doe, Carleton Place. We had looked that morning for an hour, without success, for the western meadowlark. Georgina returned in early evening, and was rewarded with excellent views of our rare visitor, the western meadowlark. It is a life bird for Georgina. One of her photos accompanies today’s column. A week later, Georgina and I travelled to Cornwall, looking for a glossy ibis, another visitor from the southern U.S.A. The site was in the western part of Cornwall, off Richmond Road. A walking path to an abandoned spur line leads to views over the
LYNDA C. BENNETT Strictly for the Birds
swamp on both sides of the tracks. Our first bird was a green her-
on fishing among the cattails. Then we met Brian Morin, an excellent birder from this area, who took us along the tracks, and pointed out the glossy ibis. It was happily feeding among the reeds, with a solitary sandpiper walking along a log close beside it. We had wonderful views. Across the swamp, four Canada geese were preening. Then we heard some common moorhens calling close to us, but behind some shrubs. All of a sudden, out they marched, one after another, all seven, the adult’s bright red bill very distinctive. We tallied 17 species while there, including killdeer, Wil-
son’s snipe, and a single mallard. Driving to and from Cornwall, we must have seen almost 100 American crows. At home, I’d had a call from Joyce and Mike Jaques, who had also visited Cornwall to see the ibis. On Thursday, July 28, the western meadowlark was still present at the intersection of Panmure Road and Upper Dwyer Hill Road. On July 24, Donna Metcalf observed a pair of sandhill cranes in Pakenham Ward, on Concession 12, by the RCMP stables. The next day, in Almonte, Pip Winters called to tell about a female rose-breasted grosbeak feeding one youngster at the feeder,
while a second one watched. A pair of northern cardinals are also there. Please call Lynda: 613-256-5013, or email: Bennett@magma.ca, with bird reports.

Ride for Rescue Cats starts, ends in Almonte Aug. 14 DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ALMONTE – Toopie rides again! For an event intended to help abandoned and abused cats, Toopie the dog will again be putting aside his species’ in-born animosity towards felines and will again don his own doggie helmet to take part in the Ride for Rescue Cats on Sunday, Aug. 14. “He was a star attraction last year,” said ride organizer Frances Bryerton. “He did the entire ride with his owners.” Toopie rides in his very own custom-made, protective bag. “When a dog rides for cats, you know it’s worth supporting,” said Bryerton. The ride leaves from Levi Home Hardware, 476 Ottawa St., Almonte, and registration is from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m., with cyclists heading out at 10 a.m. The cost for riders is $20 each, with each passenger costing $10. Riders and passengers can ride for free if the bike raises $50 in pledges for the Country Cat Sanctuary near Kemptville. This is the second year for the ride, which only drew 23 riders for last year’s event. “We got bombarded with rain, and thunderstorms and our cover-all nearly blew away,” said Bryerton. “Terrible, terrible weather.” The ride will take in Almonte, Appleton, down to Buds on the Bay in Brockville, before a return journey to Almonte. Bryerton is considering making next year’s event a poker-run style event. Bryerton said that she was motivated to put together the ride, along with her husband ‘Big Al’ Bryerton, because she saw how many cats needed
help, and the sorry shape some of them were in. “I would find it too difficult to work with the cats that come in,” said Bryerton. “Cats are cute when they are kittens, but once they go past that stage, they aren’t that cute. They’re seen as garbage.” Some cats show up at the shelter with ears and tails cut off. “The abuse is incredible,” she said, shaking her head. The sanctuary is currently full, and the no-kill facility is not accepting any more animals at the moment. The ride was inspired by the tale of one eightweek-old kitten named Jack who was too far gone to be helped. “If there were more opportunities to have cats spayed and neutered, it would prevent cats like him from being born,” said Bryerton. “I take my hat off to anyone who does rescue work.” Not every cat owner who has to abandon their pet does so for entirely cruel reasons though. Sometimes, it’s a matter of survival. “Do I get my cat spayed or do I feed my children?” Bryerton said. “If every vet would spend one day to just spay or neuter 10 cats, it would reduce the litter problem.” She and her husband have been riding for the past three decades, and they currently drive a BTX 1300. For details, please call Al or Fran at 613-256-3726.
Jack the kitten is the inspiration for the Ride for Rescue Cats. Jack was an eight-week-old kitten who was so badly off that the Country Cat Rescue could not save. Submitted photo

Passengers tried out the new unmanned Via Rail station for the first time Tuesday, Aug. 2. The new facility – located at 46 Union St. (Highway 15) – was moved from Victoria Street in downtown Smiths Falls. Allen Caine, a retired CN Rail worker, was on hand to check out the new station. He said often travels to Montreal or Toronto for the day with his wife to some shopping. “This is real nice,” he said. “If they wanted to do the right thing they could put a few more benches in.” He also said the parking lot looked nice but may need more spaces. The lot was at about half capacity for its first day. “It’s convenient to get to,” said Susan Hanna, a consultant out of Almonte that splits her time between her offices in the Ottawa and Toronto areas. She was happy to hear of the additional stops coming to the Smiths Falls station in 2012. “That’s fantastic, just wonderful.” For more information, on Via Rail stops in Smiths Falls, call 1-888-VIA-RAIL (613-842-7245) or visit viarail.ca

SERVICE SPECIALS
A/C Evacuation & Recharge Service The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Powered by a belt, the air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system. The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where pressure and temperature are reduced. The now-cool refrigerant travels through the evaporator in the passenger compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns to the compressor where the cycle begins once again. • visually inspect the air conditioning compressor drive belt for cracks or damage • visually inspect accessible components for leaks or damage • check the operation of the air conditioning compressor and other air conditioning components • evacuate refrigerant from the system • vacuum test the system • recharge the air conditioning system using the appropriate refrigerant to the system capacity according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications
