Area Tories mum on MacLaren LAURA MUELLER

Coun. Gary Strike will be at Ground Zero for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and he’ll bring the condolences of many area residents with him.

Ottawa-area Tories were hesitant to wade into the controversy growing around Carleton-Mississippi Mills candidate Jack MacLaren this week.

Remarks made by former Ontario PC premier Ernie Eves at an appreciation dinner for MPP Norm Sterling have shown a growing division within the Tory party.

Eves criticized his own party for failing to defend Sterling, a 34-year Queen’s Park veteran, who was

ousted during the riding’s nomination process on March 31.

MacLaren, a far-right wing politician associated with the Ontario Landowners Association, won the bitter nomination battle.

“I don’t care who hears this,” said Eves. “The treatment that Norm got from his own party was not very polite, was not fair, it was not loyal, it was not compassionate, it was not even and it was not honest,” Eves said during a dinner for Sterling.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – When Diane Anderson’s family bought its homestead west of Appleton in 1919, only the greatest minds of science fiction writers could have fathomed that solar power would become a reality.

Indeed, just after the end of “The Great War” a year earlier, there was no

Mississippi Mills, and the field across the road was – and remains – a farming concern.

While the Anderson property has been severed to make room for the local golf club, cash crops and the three acres on which her homestead is built, the nearby field may soon seem likely something out of a H.G. Wells novel.

Back to School 2011

Back to class at area secondary schools All new high school students were welcomed on Sept.

1 with incoming student barbecues and tours. Students and parents were welcomed by Mayor John Levi at Almonte District High School, and enjoyed lots of snacks

at the Carleton Place High School barbecue. Students were able to get locker assignments, check out their classroom locations, and meet some of their teachers.

Notre Dame held two orientations, one for their incom-

ing Grade 7 students, and one for the incoming Grade 9 students. Students were able to meet their senior students, whether student council, link crew, or senior buddies.

Left, students at ADHS who had already completed their 40 hours of volunteer service, required to graduate, were entered into a draw for prizes - ranging from free admission to school dances, to getting their homework done for a night by principal Laurie McCabe.

ALMONTE – Parents from Almonte schools will be taking a closer look at the high school’s transition to the 7-12 model, thanks to a parent reaching-out grant.

Almonte and District High School (ADHS) will be adding two more grades in September 2012, Grade 7 and 8.

The school council applied for the grant, which is in place to let parents undertake projects that will involve them in their children’s education.

“It allows parents to determine within their own community what their needs are,” said ADHS school council chair Maureen Dagg. “What they are assisting are parents to get other parents involved.”

ADHS was not the only school involved; other Almonte and Pakenham elementary schools have also applied for funding under the parent reaching-out grant for the same purpose of examining the 7-12 model.

“We decided to join forces with the other schools to come up with a more master proposal for money that we would all pool together,” said Dagg.

The schools will work together to plan parent-focused events, planned by other parents. The events could range from guest speakers, to bussing to other 7-12 schools to look at how they run.

“By engaging parents in the process of the transition, we hope to overcome any perceived and real barriers to student success,” read ADHS’s proposal to the Ministry of Education.

“We are hopeful that it will lead to more successful parent engagement throughout intermediate and senior high school years in our school.”

The transition into the 7-12 school leaves ADHS parents wondering if the courses and programs their 9-12 students have access to will suffer, or grow, under the new model.

Grade 7 and 8 parents want to make sure the transition, which will see all Grade 7, 8 and 9 students beginning at ADHS next

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

September, runs smoothly.

In June, ADHS principal Laurie McCabe said it will be a positive move for the younger students, as they will gain access to more facilities. It will benefit older students because of the funds allocated to the school for renovations, as the younger students will be taught in their own area of the school.

Dagg said she feels that if any principal is up to the job, it would be McCabe, who is an “incredible principal.”

Dagg spoke at the Grade 9 welcome barbecue at ADHS on Sept.

Lanark County flag on its way to 9/11 events in New York DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – When you’re watching the commemoration of the 9/11 attacks on television this weekend, keep an eye out for several familiar Canadian flags in the crowd that were signed by the people of Lanark County.

Carleton Place town Coun.

Gary Strike will be bringing seven flags from across the country to the commemoration ceremony on Sunday, Sept. 11 in Manhattan.

“We’re going to walk them in to the Ground Zero area like the (Royal Canadian) Legion would do,” said Strike during an interview earlier this week. “I intend to get as close to the event as possible. (I will be) marching two flags on flag poles.”

After the ceremony, he intends to present two of the flags to the New York City fire department.

“I have nothing pre-arranged,” said Strike. “I’m just going to walk in and present it (the flags) to whoever is there…But it’ll be quite an honour to do this. I hope it all works well.”

Strike will be travelling to New York City tomorrow (Friday, Sept. 9), and staying with

his son Ron Strike and co-organizer Robert McDonald at a hotel in New Jersey.

There will be several flags that Strike will bring with him from across Canada. They include flags signed by police officers and fire department staff in locations like: • Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

• Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador.

• Moncton, New Brunswick (which also toured around the province).

• Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.

• Ottawa.

• Lanark County.

• Edmonton, Alberta (which also toured around the province).

The Lanark County flag has been signed by town councils in Carleton Place and Beckwith Township, by Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Reeve Richard Kidd, as well as by all members of Lanark County Council, and members of the Ocean Wave Fire Department, Lanark County Ambulance Service and the Carleton Place OPP detachment.

“This flag has about 2,000 signatures on it,” said Strike, looking down at the Lanark County flag. “This flag is neater than

Carleton Place town Coun. Gary Strike proudly holds aloft one of the seven Canadian flags that he will bring with him to New York City for the 10th anniversary commemorative cermonies of 9/11 at Ground Zero in Manhattan. One flag, signed by more than 2,000 Lanark County residents, will be donated to the New York fire department. most of them,” he joked.

The City of Ottawa flag has been in circulation since July and has been signed not only by Mayor Jim Watson, but also by

every fire department and police detachment in the city.

Strike received the flag from Edmonton on Tuesday.

“They were impressed,” Strike

said.

“We are honoured to be part of it,” wrote Brad Hoekstra of the Albert Firefighters Association, in an email to Strike.

While he was still awaiting the Gander flag to arrive before his departure, he had heard from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office about his intended donation.

The flags cost about $70 each, and Strike is encouraging Canadians to wear read on Sunday, Sept. 11 to show their solidarity with our southern neighbours.

“We’re trying to have people wear red on Sunday for the national day of remembrance,” said Strike. “(We want to) show Canada’s continued support of all our American friends that were affected that fateful day in history.”

Last year, Strike donated a signed Canadian flag to the American Embassy in Ottawa, where it has since been framed and hung in a place of honour.

That flag was signed by Lanark County police, fire and ambulance workers.

Defence Minister Peter McKay has taken three of Strike’s signed flags with him when Canadian forces were serving in a combat role in Afghanistan.

Auxiliary Preparing for the 12th Annual Ride of Splendor For many, the start of September signifies the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall. For the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Auxiliary, September means Auxilians are busy preparing for the Ride of Splendor. This year, the 12th Annual Ride of Splendor will be held on Sunday, September 18th.

“The Ride of Splendor is one of the signature events on our calendar and we look forward to the event every year”, stated Jean Jones, President of the CPDMH Auxiliary. “Even though we start organizing the Ride during the summer months, the committee becomes more focussed on planning the activities for the event at the end of the Labour Day weekend.”

The Ride of Splendor is a planned motorcycle tour throughout the Ottawa Valley. Participants have the option of choosing to travel routes that vary from 100 to 300 kilometres in length as well as the choice of paying a flat registration fee or collecting pledges to enter the event. As with past events, the Ride of Splendor will feature door prizes, awards for highest funds collected, a dice roll and a silent auction. To accommodate the growth in the number of participants, the year the registration and lunch has been moved to the Carleton Place Arena.

For10 years, the event was organized by Auxilians, John and Flora Neave. Sadly, Mr. Neave passed away last November.

However, Mrs. Neave was certain her husband would want to see the event continue.

“The Ride of Splendor was near and dear to John’s heart and I know he would want it to continue even though he could no longer be a part of the event,” stated Mrs. Neave.

“Unfortunately we were unable to participate in the event last year, but I am pleased to be involved with the event again and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with some of the people who have been involved with the Ride of Splendor since its beginning.”

dor. “However, we plan to put on an event that would make John proud and I hope we are able to reach an overall total of $100,000 raised. If we reach our target, then I know we will have honoured John’s wishes and the 12th Annual Ride of Splendor will be an overwhelming success.”

“This will be the first year that we will have hosted the Ride of Splendor without any input from John and we know that his presence will be missed,” continued Mrs. Jones.

Since its inception, the Ride of Splendor has raised over $92,000 for new equipment and building improvements for CPDMH. “I am so pleased to be involved with the Ride of Splendor and I know that this year will be significant for everyone involved because John is no longer with us,” Stated Rhonda Pinon, CoChair of the 2011 Ride of Splen-

Flora Neave, Jean Jones and Rhonda Pinon with a cheque representing the proceeds of the 2010 Ride of Splendor.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Several service groups will be making sure that voters get plenty of opportunity to meet with all of the candidates in both ridings in the upcoming provincial election race.

“We started off by looking at several areas we are involved with (including) people with disabilities, seniors, developmental services,” said Mike Coxon, executive director of the Mills Community Support Corporation, which is co-hosting a debate on Sept. 15 with the help of The Hub. That all-candidates meeting, for those running in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding, will be held at 7 p.m. at the Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St. The debate will be a formally moderated event, focusing on seniors, affordable housing, developmental services and general questions.

Later on in the month, the Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families will be hosting an all-candidates round table on Thursday, Sept.

22, at 40 Bennett St., Carleton Place, from 9 a.m. to noon, for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington candidates.

That debate will focus on issues of poverty, family issues, children and youth, but the Mills Corporation will still have a hand in the debate.

“They run in to issues with respect to issues of poverty and affordable housing (for seniors),” said Coxon. “It’s political in that we’re trying to raise these issues, it’s apolitical in that we’re not endorsing anyone.”

The Mills will also be hosting a “Dialogue on Seniors Issues,” event on Monday, Sept. 17 at the Royal Canadian Legion branch, 100 Bridge St., in Almonte, at 6 p.m., though Coxon noted that this event is still subject to the availability of candidates’ participation. This would be a more informal event, with candidates circulating amongst tables to chat with seniors and their friends as an after-dinner activity, during the regular supper socials held at the Legion.

“These are opportunities where seniors congregate anyways,” said Coxon. “They provide an opportunity for people to meet…(and) to really understand the expectations of the people.”

Coxon also hinted that groups like People First of Lanark County, and the Community Living Association, are hoping to host some informal meet-and-greets

for their members, which could even take place in members homes, if arrangements can be made.

Meeting candidates one-onone, away from a formal, moderate debate, is something Coxon would like to see in this election. “(There is) theatre that you might expect when you have a room full of people and you need to get your platform out,” said Coxon. “If I was a candidate, I would rather meet seniors than

perform.”

There will also be another debate at the Stewart Community Centre, 112 MacFarlane St., Pakenham, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 29, also for candidates in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills ward.

That debate comes just two days after leaders of the provincial parties hold their televised election debate in Toronto on Tuesday, Sept. 27, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on all major stations.

Be alert, stay safe

One cool cut during my buzz cut date

E

ven if you try to time it the right way, on your morning or evening commute, sometimes you just can’t help crossing paths with those lumbering beasts of the right lane - the big yellow school bus.

The big yellow and black bumble-bees of the boulevard are certainly lumbering, aggravating for stopping at each-and-every railway stop - even lines that last saw trains decades ago - and even scary for their wide turns.

But for all of a school bus’s idiosyncrasies, we as motorists need to be mindful of them because of their precious cargo - our kids.

It’s back to school time again in Lanark County, and the smallest of the small students are still being hammered with the message of dealing with crossing signals, keeping within sight of the bus driver, et cetera.

But when they see mommy, daddy, grandpa, grandma or another trusted adult waiting for them on the other side of the road, for some kids, all of those lessons get thrown out the window. Kids live in the moment, which is both liberating, and sometimes dangerous, as they dart across the road.

Pardon the pun, but respect is a two-way street, and we can set an example for these wee ones, and their older classmates too, who will themselves be behind the wheel sooner than we might imagine.

Seeing someone peel around a parked school bus, lights flashing, sign extended, and race off into the distance certainly sends the wrong message and not only may cost someone’s life, but may give a young boy or girl a wrong message - that you can get away with cutting corners.

Being a good driving example to our kids can also mean being more courteous on the road. We may remember the first time we saw our dad flip someone off for cutting them off, but repeating good road etiquette every time you get behind the wheel will also last a lifetime. We’re amazed at what our kids pick up, and the lessons they learn now, may well save their lives later.

One of the reasons why drivers can be so aggressive is that, behind the wheel, our normal body language is obscured and/or hidden, so we miss those subtle physical nuances that keep our anger in check.

Whether little Johnny is crossing the road in front of you, or little Susie is watching your navigate the end-of-summer construction from her booster seat in the back, remember that you have a lot riding on your wheels.

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says

Register online to be an organ and tissue donor For the first time ever, Ontarians can now register as organ and tissue donors online through a new website, BeADonor.ca. Every registered donor has the potential to save up to eight lives.

Previously, Ontarians could only register as organ and tissue donors in person at a ServiceOntario centre or by downloading, completing and mailing a Gift of Life Consent Form.

By logging onto BeADonor.ca Ontarians can also confirm their current status as an organ donor. Many Ontarians mistakenly believe that the signed donor card they carry in their wallet means they are registered, and that is not the case, as this card pre-dates Ontario’s registry.

“Getting more Ontarians registered as organ and tissue donors is critically important to prevent needless deaths on the waiting list and to cut the wait time for patients in need of a transplant,” said Dr. Frank Markel, president and CEO of Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN).

“By making it possible to register online, we’ve made it easier for Ontarians who haven’t yet registered because

they didn’t know how or it wasn’t convenient.”

While over 80 per cent of Ontarians believe that giving consent to donate in advance of their death is an important thing to do, less than 20 per cent of eligible Ontarians have registered their consent to donate organs and tissue.

“As long as people are waiting for organs and tissue donations, it’s important that we make registering to become an organ and tissue donor as quick and easy as possible. This online donor registry will give hope to over 1,500 Ontarians, and their families, who are currently on the waiting lists,” said Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long Term Care.

By registering consent to donate, an individual’s information is recorded and stored in a secure Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care database so it can be made available to families at the right time, for the purpose of ensuring the patient’s donation decision is known and respected. With evidence of their loved ones’ registered consent, almost all families consent to organ donation.

Within a week, the above photograph has become out of date.

The curls are gone.

I had a date with Madame Levesque’s buzzers and got a level three buzz cut.

I first got the idea from my friend Justin - in 1997, when we were sitting in Mr. Fernandes’ Grade 11 math class. Once again, it looked as though I had not combed my wild, curly hair, though I had spent several minutes that morning trying to tame it, to no avail.

“Devoy,” said Justin. “You should just shave it off and start over, man.”

Well, hair rebelliousness came a little late to me, but with the late summer heat, my head was starting to bake under the wavy hair and I decided to go for broke.

Having gotten a haircut earlier this year, my daughter made strange with me when I picked her up from day care, so before I picked her up this time - considering how much more severe my cut was this time - I put on a baseball cap.

She ran into my arms and we went home (the highlight of any daddy’s day, having his little girl run to greet him.)

She was playing in the other room while I started in on dinner, and I slowly took off my cap.

She looked over a moment later, and did a little double take. She got up from her toys, wandered over - and started playing with my now much-shortened hair. It’s still a plaything for her now and I’m glad it didn’t scare her.

I am glad I did it and have no regrets. It is, admittedly, a big change in my appearance.

As my mother used to say, “A change is as good as a rest,” and I want to thank everyone for the good reviews. Best of all, I don’t have to bother combing my hair any more, and I’m done washing it in, like, 12 seconds.

I’m glad I did it, but I have promised my wife that the curls will return, one of these days but maybe in a different colour!

Former Caldwell vice-principal is new Arklan principal DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@hotmail.com

CARLETON PLACE – Jim Duncan had at least one thing in common with his students when school resumed this week.

Duncan and his students were seeing a lot of familiar faces in the hallways and classrooms of Arklan Community Public School in Carleton Place – the students because they were back in class, Duncan because he had started out his career in school administration at Arklan. It is the school where he had first been appointed as a vice-principal five years ago, for what would become a three-year engagement.

He then became vice-principal at Beckwith Public School, before transferring to Caldwell Street Public School in Carleton Place as vice-principal for four months.

While there will certainly be a bit of onthe-job training, as with any new job, Duncan said that he has already gotten at taste for his new role thanks to past principal mentors.

“I was always treated like an equal, so a lot of planning that principals get to do, I got to do as a vice-principal,” Duncan said. “They prepared me well.”

However, there are a few new components to the job, like hiring, that he is still new to. He estimates that between 70 and 75 per cent of the teachers and staff are the same at Arklan as they were when he left, and that that has made his transition across town a little easier.

“I’ve had a real big head start,” said

Duncan.

While he takes pride in both Arklan and Caldwell, he did concede that there are differences between the two schools.

“Caldwell is mostly French immersion,” and will be entirely French immersion by next year, he said. Arklan students get instruction in Canada’s other official language for 200 minutes a week, compared to 700 minutes a week at Caldwell.

Another difference is Arklan’s music program, with two music teachers on staff.

“We’re quite thrilled with that,” said Duncan. “Some schools have lost that music program.”

The school has a class set of guitars for the Grade 6 class, while grades 7 and 8 will be taught band instruments.

“We’re lucky to have both guitar and band,” said Duncan.

While he stressed that he wants to continue on Gina Camerano’s good work as principal, he is looking to bring the concept of “collaborative inquiry,” to the teacher’s staff room.

“A lot of individual teachers are doing great things, with their door shut,” said Duncan.

He wants the best practices of different teachers to be shared around, as happened recently when Beckwith Public teachers met with Arklan teachers to share their ideas.

One idea of Camerano’s that Duncan is keen to continue is the eldership mentor-

ing program forged between Arklan and the Waterside retirement community across McNeely Avenue.

“They have a lot to give,” said Duncan.

One new initiative being spearheaded at Arklan’s head office will be “Awareness Days” in mid-October, which will feature puppet shows that send a message to make kids more sensitive and aware of the feelings of others, on issues ranging from deafness to autism.

“They’re going to be a little bit more empathetic,” said Duncan.

Puppets are one thing, but real-life artists will be brought in to complement the arts program at the school to help kids with interesting new initiatives like a claymation project. “(It will) allow teachers to learn along with students,” said Duncan of the embroynic artists-in-the-classroom, which will be spread out throughout the year.

Kids go back to school with full back packs, and dignity DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – The number of younger children requiring emergency backto-school supplies in Lanark County has grown.

“There were many more, an increase in the numbers for younger kids this year,” said Cattis Esbensen, manager of Connections, an educational charity that links up needy students with a back-pack full of school supplies each year.

Esbensen estimates that her charity delivered 60 backpacks for students in junior and senior kindergarten, compared with 36 such requests last year.

The kindergarten back packs are filled with glue sticks, crayons, scissors, zip-lock bags and Kleenex.

“This year, we’ve prepared 229 kits for kids from junior kindergarten up to Grade 12,” said Esbensen, during the Connections barbecue fundraiser at the Carleton Place Staples store on McNeely Avenue on Thursday, Sept. 1, which saw Coun. Jerry Flynn grilling the hot dogs.

“Some kids were just as excited about the Kleenex as the box of crayons,” Esbensen said.

The sixth annual Staples supply drive, and 2011, marks the fourth year that the Carleton Place branch has been participating by making requests for cash donations at their registers. The Staples store raised more than $460 from fundrais-

ing activities.

Last year, the organization handed out about 224 back packs, at a cost of about $25 each.

“Families are not receiving enough social assistance,” said Esbensen of some of the reasons for the demand. “If you live on ODSB, you hardly get enough to cover your rent and utilities. You can eat, but not nutritiously.”

The backpacks were picked up for distribution on Aug. 15.

“I had one mother who phoned me on Monday, Aug. 29,” said Esbensen. “She had just moved from another part of Ontario. She had two kids, grades 6 and 8.”

Esbensen showed up at her “tiny, tiny hovel of an apartment,” and she was delighted to see the gratitude on the faces of the two young students when they were presented with their supplies.

“It’s sad. (The mother) said, ‘We can buy things on Sept.

21, cheque day.’ But she didn’t want her kids to stand out,” said Esebensen. “I think that the schools should supply all of this stuff.”

The demand for the back packs varies across Lanark County. By community, the numbers were: • Smiths Falls: 80.

• Perth: 60.

• Carleton Place: 46.

• Almonte: 19.

People looking to make donations can contact 613-257-2779, ext. 101.

CARLETON PLACE – Don’t put off reading this article until later.

It may save your job.

The Canadian Career Academy at 92 Bridge St. in Carleton Place, funded by Employment Ontario, wants to help you identify the “time bandits,� that make you look up at the clock after an hour on Facebook and say, “Hey, where did the time go? It’s 4:20 already?�

The academy hosts a number of seminars throughout the year, but if you’re having trouble making it to meetings on time, or are addicted to cyber-slacking, mark down on your calendar Wednesday, Sept. 14, 9:30 a.m. for their seminar on procrastination and motivation.

Set two alarms if you have to. “For people who are unemployed, there are two blocks of time – asleep and TV/Internet time,� said Trevor Strudwick of the academy, who wrote the seminars and will deliver them. “The time that they have available to them is a gift.�

Strudwick promises that his hourlong seminars can help attendees make the most of their time at work. “It’s so important in the work world to be punctual,� agreed co-worker Briane Bassett.

When Strudwick started working on the procrastination part of his seminar, he was tempted to find some jokes about

Are hours of “cyber-slackingâ€? at the office, on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, resulting in a mountain of paperwork on your desk? A new seminar may offer you a way to help you manage your time better and not put things off until later. this sometimes humorous subject – until he realized just how serious it was. “It’s just a fascinating issue of human nature,â€? said Strudwick. “There are good jokes to be made. But it’s crippling‌It’s really a debilitating thing.â€?

Strudwick said it’s a marker for several disorders, including depression.

Anyone who has ever pulled an allnighter in order to get an essay on a teacher’s desk for the next morning, might believe that an impending deadline is just the adrenalin jolt they need to keep on task and stay focused. “We’d call that a crisis maker,� said Strudwick, of a worker who is perpetually under the gun, even if he usually pulls through at the last minute, by the skin of his or her teeth.

Strudwick knows of what he speaks. “I was a master of procrastination myself,� he admits. “I am now more organized than I was.� “I was in the same boat,� said Bassett.

But she learned a good motto that helped her become a more focused gogetter. “Nothing says just do it like just do it,� Bassett said.

Bassett herself runs the academy’s social media outlets, like Facebook posts and Twitter feeds, but she keeps her time on these sites strictly professional, though she knows how addictive they can become. “We talk about the idea of time bandits,� said Strudwick. “Text messaging, excessive Facebooking, are time bandits.�

During the seminar, Strudwick will “stop the clock,� and let attendees think about their own time bandits.

The academy, whose services are offered free to the public, is also planning

seminars on conflict and communications and dealing with difficult people. “It’s a brand-new service,� said Strudwick.

A job fair for the OPP is also in the process of being scheduled.

The seminars and job fairs at the academy this month include: • Wednesday, Sept. 14 – Seminar on Procrastination and Motivation, 9:30 a.m. • Wednesday, Sept. 28 – Seminar on Time Management, 9:30 a.m. • Monday, Sept. 18 – Royal Canadian Mounted Police job fair, 1 p.m. • Wednesday, Sept. 21 – Full-time furniture assemblers job fair, 10 a.m., hosted by the academy and Zylog Systems Ltd.

Dr. Kate Miller’s back-to-school health and safety tips Now that the kids are back to school, make sure they have a healthy and safe year. Here are some back-toschool health and safety tips from Almonte family physician Dr. Kate Miller.

It is also important to keep a sick child at home, to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. “With almost all infectious diseases, you are most contagious for the first couple of days,” says Dr. Miller. “So keep your children at home when they are coming down with something. A sick child won’t learn and will infect other kids.”

Pack a nutritious lunch – “Anything you prepare yourself and put in a container is much healthier than pre-packaged foods,” says Dr. Miller. “Most prepackaged lunch foods are high in fat and sodium and low on nutrition.”

Dr. Miller suggests packing real fruit and fruit juice or water in your child’s lunchbox. “Using leftovers from meals you have made at home for your child’s lunch is easy, quick, cheaper and more nutritious that pre-

packaged foods,” she adds.

Don’t spread contagious bugs – “Make sure your children wash their hands and cover their coughs,” advises Dr. Miller. “Make sure their classrooms have tissues and hand sanitizer.”

Go to and from school safely – “Make sure your child knows how to cross the road safely,” says Dr. Miller. “If your kids bike to school, ensure they wear helmets. It is also important to continue to practise sun safety to protect your children from the sun’s harmful rays.”

Pre-packaged snacks and drink boxes may also be poor choices. “Granola bars tend to be high in sugar and low in fibre,” explains Dr. Miller. “Drink boxes tend to contain fruit drink, which is high in sugar and has artificial colour and flavours.”

Make sure vaccinations are up to date – “Children aged four to six are due for a set of vaccinations, so don’t miss those shots,” advises Dr. Miller. “The province has also just started paying for a second chicken pox vaccination, so a child under 10 should receive it. Later this fall, make sure your child receives a flu shot.”

BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Maria Hawkins has the bullying blues.

The Blues in Schools founder and musician wants to bring her musical, antibullying and acceptance interactive performance to local schools.

She has already received funding from Bluesfest for every performance that she books in the area, and has already performed at the Carleton Place Day Care Centre.

The day care crowd is one of many: she has a separate show for preschool to Grade 1, one for Grade 2-8, and one for high school-aged students.

For the preschool crowd, they divide up and role play, putting on a mini show called “We Do Better When We Work Together” with all the typical storybook characters – prince and evil witch included.

But in this show, the characters have to help the evil witch, who is being a bully, and help her make friends. An out of the ordinary plot twist, for a not-so-ordinary show.

The secondary shows are a lot more serious, focusing on the places where students are bullied, or were bullies can end up.

After a black mould problem left her sick, unable to work, and homeless,

Hawkins ended up on the other side of the social services workers she had performed for, needing assistance, and shelter.

While living in a shelter, Hawkins met kids and adults who had either been bullied to the point of leaving school, or kicked out of school for being a bully.

These kids had spiraled downwards after leaving school, getting into activities to support themselves that no parent would ever want for their child.

Hawkins, who already had experience performing in schools, and with motivational messages for government and corporate clients, such as social workers, knew she could use her experience to create performances targeting bullying.

She is no stranger to getting things to happen, having helped found Blues in Schools, a well-respected Bluesfest-run program. She has also been honoured with a long list of community awards, including CHUM Hometown Hero, Judy Roy Heart and Soul Award, United Way Community Building Award and Canada Council on Women Amazing Woman of the Year.

She started a similar program years ago, targeted towards adults with developmental disabilities, to help them stand up against bullying.

It was her way of helping adults who were like her younger brother, who is both physically and mentally disabled.

“But it starts the dialogue about bullying before I even get there.”

After visiting over 25 Ottawa area schools last year to perform the bullying presentations, she is ready to bring her presentation to Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills. She has already reached out into the Valley, performing at several schools in Arnprior and Renfrew.

Bluesfest sponsors part of the cost of each performance – she has a full band on stage – and she is having a fundraiser at Tilly’s at an undecided fall date to raise more money for local performances.

Right now, the cost per performance is $200-$300 per school, which could be lowered with additional funds raised.

TARGETS THE TORMENTORS

Maria Hawkins performs in Carleton Place earlier this summer.

“A lot of what I do is because I can’t reach him,” she said.

When she adapted her idea for schools, it quickly had the students talking.

“It’s called Stop the Bullying for the grades 2-7 presentation, which some people think is a harsh name,” she said.

Hawkins focuses on eliminating bullying, but also has compassion for students who are bullies, because there is always an uncertainty over what they are dealing with at home.

“One of the most touching letters I got came from a Grade 3 student after the performance at his school,” she said. “He wrote, ‘I didn’t even know I was a bully… but I am.’ If I were to die tomorrow, I would be happy because of everyone I’ve been able to meet and with everything I’ve been able to do.”

Grand finale for Showtime at the Station The season finale for Showtime at the Station, at the Old Train Station on Coleman Street in Carleton Place, was held on the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 31.

The Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce had hosted a series of family-friendly musical and cultural entertainment all summer long, every Wednesday night.

For the final perfor-

mance, the venue welcomed the Rag and Bone Puppet Theatre from Ottawa, who staged the popular French-Canadian folk tale “The Flying Canoe.”

Performing outside was an unusual step for the troupe, who normally perform at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans, where their season begins on Sunday, Oct. 2, with special guest star, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson.

ASHTON – Sisters Serena and Sara Van Aert have come a long way in just one summer sailing together, and set they’ve their sail highs in a goal to eventually compete together in the Olympics.

The Van Aert sisters started sailing competitively outside of Cadets, where they first learned to sail, and have no plans to stop anytime soon.

They’re typical sisters, two years apart in age, and exchange an “are you kidding?” glance when asked if they manage to sail together without ever fighting.

Both attend Sacred Heart Catholic High School – Sara in Grade 12, Serena in Grade 10.

Sara has been sailing for four years, but this year Serena was convinced to join her sister at the HMCS Ontario in Kingston this summer, a six-week sailing program through the sea cadets.

“I learned to love it,” Serena said, citing the people involved as one of the reasons she took to the sport.

After success against other cadets, their father Bill decided to invest in a Club 420 sailboat for

can University for the sailing team, or attend Algonquin College and continue to sail in Ottawa.

No matter the future training path, the girls have a clear vision of where they want to be in sailing competitions, heading to national and Olympic level competitions.

“We’re going [with the goal] to win,” Sarah said. “But it’s a lot of practice for us to get there.”

the girls to use in competition against non-cadets.

In Ontario, few sea cadets switch into the civilian side of racing, more common with coastal teams, who often place in the top three at sea cadet national sailing championships as a result.

Aside from the cost of purchasing a boat, the pairs need to commit to a training schedule and travel to regattas across North America – a potential logistical worry the Van Aerts don’t have.

The sisters have travelled together to compete in several large regattas, including the Club 420 Canadian Championship in Sturgeon Lake, Ont., and the Canadian Olympic Regetta Kingston (CORK).

They are now focused on competing every weekend in September, ending in the High School Club 420 championships.

The Club 420 is one of several boats used for racing – a two-person boat, often used for youth or junior level races.

The exact Olympic boat that will be used in the future is still to be finalized by the Olympic Committee and international governing body, but the pair hopes to upgrade to race in the

Sisters Serena, left, and Sara Van Aert at a regatta this summer. The sisters are cadets with RCSCC Lanark, located in Carleton Place, and were accepted to sail training at HMCS Ontario in Kingston, this summer. qualifying competitions that could lead them along the path.

Currently, one of the women’s Olympic boats is the 470, the senior boat to the junior Club 420 the Van Aerts use.

The 2016 Summer Olympics are a clear goal for the pair, who have a training plan and path ready to go.

They will travel to Florida in the winter to compete, and hopefully both spend their 2012 summer training in British Columbia.

Sara, who has her Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) bronze sail VI and green in-

structor’s qualifications is ready to train at the British Columbia sea cadets-based camp, and Serena is hoping to get her last level to catch up – she is currently a CYA bronze sail IV. The intense six-week program this summer had them out on the water almost every day, an important part of sailing, since the athletes never know what type of water and wind conditions they could face on the day of a huge regatta.

Sara has another year left in sea cadets before she is too old for the program, but hopes to either be recruited by an Ameri-

RCSCC LANARK The girls are part of the RCSCC Lanark and Navy League of Canada programs that allow sea cadets to attain qualifications up to the level of a CTA sailing instructor at no cost. The Van Aert family, including military parents, is proud of the program that teaches leadership skills, good citizenship and physical fitness. They would like to invite any youth who are interested in learning to sail, or to participate in cadets, to any of the RCSCC Lanark’s training nights on Wednesdays in September, between 6:30 and 9 p.m. at 137 John St. in Carleton Place.

Mudds youth tackle Shakespeare JUDITH SCOTT In the world of the theatre, it is known as “the Scottish Play.” Actors will not speak its name aloud backstage, for fear of the curse that still lingers over the play, 400 years after its composition. And who can blame them?

Murder, betrayal, treason, and black magic are its subjects. Evil ambition and insanity are its themes. And seven of its characters die before the final curtain.

And yet, Macbeth still fascinates.

This October, just before Halloween, 14 actors between the ages of 13 and 17 who have felt that fascination will be presenting Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy at the Carleton Place Town Hall.

Director Mark Piper is proud of his young cast.

“I got really lucky with the casting of this one. I suppose it was the name Macbeth that drew them out – everyone knows about the dark mood of the play, and the complex nature of the characters. It drew out a bunch of really talented teens looking for a challenge. I just hope I’m to the

challenge of directing it – but frankly, I couldn’t resist it, either,” said Piper.

This is the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre’s first foray into the world of Shakespeare. The company will be presenting it in the round, on the floor of the Town Hall Theater, with minimal sets and costumes.

“I want to show off how much the cast has done with the words that Sir William has given them,” said Piper. “Even now, halfway through rehearsals, I can tell – they’ve caught the bug. They’re coming up with their own ideas, and their own interpretations of the various parts. It’s very gratifying to see this level of creativity.”

Bad luck or not, it seems, Macbeth still has the power to mesmerize.

Tickets go on sale after Sept. 12 at the Arts Carleton Place Information Centre Gallery and Gift Shop, 132 Coleman St. for the three performances at the Carleton Place Town Hall, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m., Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Solar farm concerns linger for residents From front page There will be rows upon rows of black solar panels tilted south to soak up the suns rays.

“I think we’re still trying to understand more about it and the benefits of it,” said Anderson, as she gazed upon information boards put up by Almonte Solar Inc. during a public open house at the Almonte Old Town Hall on Wednesday, Aug. 31.

“By the sounds of it, it’s pretty much a done deal,” said Anderson.

“How do you fight it? It’s like anything else – money talks,” agreed fellow resident Dan Berger. “The only thing I’ve learned about solar is that it’ll cost us more money to have it.”

While the pair were glad to have the opportunity to meet with company representatives, they said that they had also been caught off-guard by the company’s plans, which had been in the works for more than a year.

“We read about it in the paper about four months ago,” said Berger. “We didn’t know anything about it.”

Anderson’s main concern is where the driveway leading out of the solar field will come out on County Road 29, though the current design calls for it to exit near the gravel pit.

“With the gravel pit there, there will be more congestion,” said Anderson.

But her concerns did not end there.

“What’s it going to do with water tables? Is it going to create more drifting snow?” asked Anderson.

The aesthetics of the new project were addressed in artist’s renderings of how rows of trees planted along the side of the road would, in time, obscure the view of the panels from motorists and local residents.

“It’s going to take 10 years before the trees are tall enough so that you can’t see the panels,” said Berger.

The duo were also concerned that the company that is proposing the project, Almonte Solar Inc., was not

From left, Michelle Chislett of Almonte Solar, Mississippi Mills residents Diane Anderson and Dan Berger examine the map of the affected area during an public open house in the auditorium of the Almonte Old Town Hall on Aug. 31. named after Mississippi Mills, when it is located in the southern end of the municipality, and is closer to Appleton and Carleton Place than Almonte.

“When it’s called Mississippi Mills, it’ll cost more money,” said Berger.

“It seems like it’s more Mississippi Mills,” said Anderson.

“It would have been nice if someone locally had been on that team,” added Anderson. “It seems that most of their representatives are from Toronto.”

Many of the team are, indeed, are from the Toronto suburb of Markham, but some of the consultants are also from Guelph, Ont. “There’s people making decisions that haven’t even seen it (the field),” charged Berger.

Almonte Solar had several information boards arrayed around the auditorium.

One of the boards at the open house was dedicated to “What we’ve heard from the community so far.”

• Groundwater: “Solar farms typically do not have a significant effect on groundwater quality or quantity.”

• Aesthetics: “Beckwith Solar has committed to planting a vegetation barrier along County Road 29.”

• Glare: “Panels are designed to absorb, not reflect, sunlight.”

• Dust: “Very little soil movement is required in comparison to most construction projects.”

• Noise: “Solar panels do not emit noise.”

The company also stated that there are several benefits to such a solar field, including helping “decrease reliance on other energy generation sources,” and that it will “increase the municipal tax base with new income streams,” as well as job creation.

The company’s “project schedule” board indicated that there will be a second public open house in March of 2012, following the draft REA report being made public in January. The application to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is slated to be made in the second quarter of next year. The anticipated start date for construction would be in the first quarter of 2013, with the “commercial operating date” set for the fourth quarter.

The board also indicated that, in the year 2032, the solar field will either be in the process of “repowering/decommissioning.”

From front page 1 The dinner was held at the Canadian Golf and Country Club in Stittsville on Aug. 25.

Eves later clarified his comments on a Toronto talk radio show, saying that “Tea Party” elements within the Conservatives were behind the poor treatment of Sterling.

In an interview with this newspaper last November, MacLaren said it was “fair” to compare the local Tories move to supplant the riding’s old guard with the Tea Party’s attempt to move the U.S. Republican party further to the right and the Wild Rose Alliance party’s attempt to pull Alberta politics in the same direction.

“All across the western world countries are willing to stand up a little more. I am willing to fight for my culture and heritage and what my forefathers fought for,” MacLaren said at the time.

TORY CANDIDATES MUM Brad McNulty, a representative with MacLaren’s campaign, said MacLaren didn’t want to comment on Eves’ remarks because he wasn’t at the Aug. 25 dinner to hear the comments.

“He wishes Norm the best, whatever he decides to do with his career,” McNulty said. “He is looking forward right now.”

In fact, none of the Tory MPPs from

surrounding areas were willing to comment on Eve’s statements when contacted by the Canadian Gazette.

But Carleton-Mississippi Mills Liberal candidate Megan Cornell said she wasn’t surprised by Eves’ remarks because she has heard similar concerns from residents throughout the riding.

Cornell said the comments expose the divisions in the PC Party which had led her to throw her hat back into the ring for this election.

“There was a lot of respect for Norm and how he did politics,” Cornell said.

“It’s not just how Norm was treated but what Jack is offering. There is a fairly common sentiment in the riding that that’s not at all what we’re about here.”

That worry isn’t just shared by Liberal supporters, Cornell said.

“Certainly the concern I am hearing from a really large number of Progressive Conservatives in the riding is that the name of the party and the membership of the party has been sort of co-opted by this group who figured out how to, kind of, manipulate the political process and get their candidate in and now are hoping that no one notices who, in fact, the PC candidate is,” Cornell said.

Cornell said Progressive Conservatives are coming to her side and some prominent Tories are expected to publically endorse her in the coming weeks.

Regardless, Eves is “well respected” and his comments will undoubtedly have an impact on the campaign, Cornell said.

CONTESTS WITHIN ‘FAMILIES’ TOUGH: HUDAK

MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean, did not respond to a request for comment.

Nearby Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington PC MPP Randy Hillier, himself a former Ontario Landowners Association member and founder, was not available for comment before this newspaper’s deadline.

However, the Ontario Liberal Party was quick to send out a press release when Hillier re-posted a blog entry by Jeff Goodall entitled “Pinko re-tread Ernie Eves tries to sabotage Ontario PC’s.”

With files from Robert Benzies, Toronto Star, and Derek Dunn, Arnprior Chronicle-Guide.

Tory leader Tim Hudak addressed Eves’ comments during an Aug. 31 media scrum in Toronto, saying MacLaren was chosen by party members.

“Everybody is held to account by the local membership. And local members choose who the candidates are,” he said.

Hudak said it is “tough” when parties “have a contest within the family.”

“But it is democracy, and democracy can sometimes be messy,” Hudak said.

“But we have a democratic party and we will be working with Jack MacLaren to win that seat as part of a PC government.”

Yoga in Almonte Hudak said Sterling served his province extraordinarily well as at Spirit Matters a respected cabinet minister.

“He’s had impacts on positive developments in health care and the environment and he was a dean of the legislature,” Hudak said.

A representative from Norm Sterling’s Queen’s Park office Transform your body, grow your soul... said the MPP declined to comment on the matter. in a beautiful and tranquil space.

CARLETON PLACE – The Canadians are well on their way to the start of a good season, winning their first three games at the end of August against Gloucester (6-1, 8-4) and Nepean (3-1).

The team has been in training camp and pre-season games, filling some holes from departing 201011 players, such as Nic Pascoal, Ryan Lowe, Charlie Millen and Tanner Hildebrandt. Hildebrandt was recently traded to Smiths Falls in exchange for defenseman Dustin Darou.

Over the long weekend, they fell in two close games against the Smiths Falls Bears (5-4, in overtime) and the national champion Pembroke Lumber Kings (2-1).

In the Aug. 31 game against Nepean, goals were scored by Elias Ghantous, Theo Hannah and Tyson Stewart. Stewart was the first star, with Jim Pearson as second and Ghantous rounding out a Carleton Place sweep as the third star.

Against the Bears, the team was 4-4 going into overtime, but was beat by a Smiths Falls goal about three minutes in. Jay Llewellyn was the only star for the Canadians, getting the third star honours.

The Pembroke Lumber Kings are a team to watch, fresh off a national victory, with several returning players. The Canadians took an early 1-0 lead after a goal from Kyle Phillips, but left two goals from the Lumber Kings unanswered to suffer a 2-1 loss.

The Canadians will start their regular season games at the CCHL showcase this weekend at the Kanata Recreation Complex, taking on Nepean on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Ottawa on Sunday at 2 p.m.

As of the first regular season game on Saturday, Direct Energy will be donating $5 for every goal the Canadians score to the Carleton Place Minor Hockey Association.

Mary Bridget Trottier (née Merchant)

The Funeral

Died at the age of 90 on August 25, 2011 in Almonte, Ontario of natural causes. Mary was predeceased by her husband Lloyd Trottier (Dec 23, 2004), and her beloved son Tom (Nov 2010). She is survived by her loving sister Helen Mayer of Sturgeon Falls, and nine of her ten children: Maryclare (Rick Southam), Terry, Kathy, Karen, Patrick, Sherry (Ayal Shaaked), Kevin, Todd and her dear Gerry. Mary will also always be remembered by 23 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.

Friends may call at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave., Carleton Place, on Monday September 5, 2011, from 11:00 a.m. until the funeral service at St. James Anglican Church at 1:00 p.m., with Rev. Fr. David Andrew officiating. Interment to follow at United Cemeteries.

Mary was born on December 29, 1920 in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario to Mary Clara Sloan and Herbert Merchant – the fourth of nine children, and the first daughter and grand-daughter for both families. Mary’s dedication to service and education shone in her commitment to excellence in nursing, motherhood and volunteer work. Always intellectually curious and independent – traits that continue in many of her daughters, grand-daughters and now great grand-daughters – Mary was a cherished daughter, wife, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend. Mary lived a full and happy life. Her warmth, wisdom and wit will be dearly missed, especially by her devoted daughters Sherry and Maryclare, and the caring staff at the Almonte Country Haven, all of whom had the pleasure of Mary’s company over the last few years of her life.

Mary’s love of song and singing were with her until her last days, as was her joy of a car ride in the sunshine, and an ice cream sundae with caramel sauce. Thank-you Mom, for teaching us that dementia is more than the loss of memory but also learning to treasure all that is left. We are with you always.

Carleton Place Scouting gears up for another exciting year

BY ELIZABETH DOCKER

Photo by Desmond Devoy

EYE ON THE PRIZE Patrick Rivers, 8, centre, has his eye on the prize as he sizes up his throw at the bean-bag toss, as his mother, right, and volunteer David McNeely look on at the Olde Thyme Fair in Carleton Place’s Memorial Park, on Aug. 27.

Carleton Place Scout leaders met on Aug. 25 to plan another exciting year of fun for the youth in Carleton Place.

Scouting is based on the movement Lord Robert Baden-Powell began over 100 years ago. Scouting now provides programs for boys and girls aged 5-26.

Each program is suited to the youths’ interests and skills based on their ages.

Beavers (ages 5-7) enjoy nature walks, hikes, games, crafts, tree planting, and family sleepovers.

Cubs (ages 8-10) is built around a badge program; they enjoy games, crafts, music, the outdoors, and camping.

The Scout program (ages 11-14)

emphasizes fun, friends and family, the environment, self-esteem, and leadership skills.

The Venturers’ motto (ages 14-18) is “challenge”, and all their activities, such as camping, white water canoeing, wilderness survival, and rock climbing, are exciting and push their boundaries.

Rovers (ages 18-26) continue with the physically challenging activities, but they also incorporate serving the community in their program.

As with any volunteer organization, adult leaders are a key part in providing enjoyable, safe, and knowledgeable programming for the youth. Leaders receive training and the support of Scouts Canada and local team members.

In Carleton Place, Beavers meet

Thursdays between 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Cubs meet Mondays between 6:458:15 p.m. Scouts meet Tuesdays between 6:30-8:30 p.m. Venturers and Rovers set their own meeting and activity schedules.

This year, registration takes place on Thursday, Sept. 8 from 6-8:30 p.m. at St. James Anglican Church Parish Hall on Edmund Street.

Come meet our leaders and find out more.

If you’re not 100 per cent sure about Scouting, your child can attend two meetings before making a final commitment.

Call Elizabeth at 613-253-3118 for more information about Carleton Place Scouting, or visit www. scouts.ca for registration forms or information about Scouts Canada.

Arm yourself against this silent killer.

Do you have gas appliances or water heaters? Is your home heated by a gas or oil furnace?

Do you enjoy fires in a wood burning or gas fireplace?

Is your garage or carport attached to your house? Have you ever run a gas generator inside your home?

“CO alarms provide the only form of early warning for carbon monoxide,” Heller warns. “Without these life-saving devices, undetected CO can result in early symptoms of headaches, nausea and fatigue which are often mistaken for the flu. Prolonged exposure leads to brain damage and death.

If you answered yes to any one of these, you need to learn the facts about carbon monoxide—and you need to install a CO alarm.

Often called the ‘silent killer’, carbon monoxide is odourless, tasteless and invisible. If not vented properly, or if appliances or heating devices malfunction, CO can cause sickness, debilitating physical and mental issues and, ultimately, death.

Despite ongoing warnings from safety officials, thousands of Canadians are exposed to carbon monoxide each year and some die. The only way humans can detect deadly CO is with a CSA-approved carbon monoxide alarm.

Since many of us have gas water heaters, stoves, fireplaces or attached garages, CO is truly a fourseason danger. But the onset of autumn brings increased potential exposure to CO as heating systems are turned on, fireplaces are sparked and cars warmed up.

“Most CO alarms cost in the range of $30, just about 2 cents a day over their lifespan, a nominal price to pay for the safety of yourself and your family,” Heller adds.

• 59 per cent of Canadians do not have a CO alarm.

• 44 per cent do not have heating systems checked annually.

• 18 per cent believe CO alarms are only required if you have a gas furnace.

She offers these home safety tips: • Have a licensed inspector check heating systems and other fuel-burning appliances, including furnaces and fireplaces, annually.

• Install one-CSA approved CO alarm on each level of your home and outside sleeping areas.

• Keep clear all exhaust flues and ducts including those used by water heaters, ranges and fireplaces.

• Test all CO alarms monthly and replace them every 5-7 years.

• Change the batteries at least once a year.

With the multitude of devices in a home that emit carbon monoxide, she urges Canadians to take steps now to avoid tragedy down the road.

More carbon monoxide safety tips can be found online at www.safeathome.ca. www.newscanada.com

County CAO hopes accurate date will help with sustainable funding ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com

JUNIOR VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION

“It is just one example of the value of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus and the advocacy work they do,” she said.

Susan Freeman, deputy reeve of Tay Valley Township, said any correct information provided for the report will only benefit the current funding situation.

“I think that any ammunition we can gather about eastern Ontario will be very helpful for the next government,” she said. “This is part of what we have to keep doing.”

Junior volunteers from the Almonte Memorial District Hospital/Fairview Manor were honoured at Mahogany Spa in Carleton Place on Aug 29. The event was hosted by Hot 89.9 radio host Josie Geuer.

Missing from photo are David Burn and Ryan Mousseau.

Peter Wagland, CAO of Lanark County, was before his county colleagues last Wednesday night, urging local municipal councils to provide relevant, up-to-date data for a sustainable funding report being created by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus.

Wagland said the project is designed to help municipalities in eastern Ontario demonstrate the need for financial sustainability initiatives to the province.

The report will show which issues set eastern Ontario apart from the rest of the province.

“Our goal is to define factors that determine sustainability,” he said, noting as an example that this geographic region has an abundance of crown land. “About 14,000 acres of crown land is in eastern Ontario,” he said, adding that this is the only region in Ontario with that much.

“We get no money coming in from that, no funding, no tax dollars, but we still provide police, fire and emergency services to those areas.”

Wagland said that by documenting these issues and providing accurate information, the report being created will establish creditability for the issues and thereby help support requests for

new funding in this region. The report will also look at the impact of declining provincial grants and the serious capital infrastructure deficit.

To compile the information properly for the report, Wagland said that each municipality must give accurate data to the consulting firm hired by the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus to undertake crafting the report.

“We’re requesting that you direct your staff to provide us with correct information,” he said to county councilors last week.

He also asked county Warden Sharon Mousseau to “draft and distribute a letter to local municipal councils encouraging and requesting their participation and support in the eastern Ontario sustainability funding report process.

Strictly for the Birds On Aug. 30, as I drove into As my friend from Perth writes, the value of water, especially fountains Almonte, a young of the year red-tailed and the sound of running water, attracts hawk flew up from the ditch, at the interbirds. At one home in Carleton Place, the section of Highway 15 and County Road

29, to perch on the telephone wires. When I returned home, six barn swallows were jostling for position on the wires along Clayton Road.

Travelling from Almonte to Carleton Place via Appleton Road/County Road 17, a great blue heron is often seen in a stream that flows under this road. On Wilson Street, in the fields before the highway, 25 Canada geese and 30 ringbilled gulls were foraging on Aug. 31. In the Mississippi River, at the west end of Lake Avenue, six mallards were dabbling near shore as some kayakers were paddling.

We still have at least one pair of rubythroated hummingbirds coming to their special feeders. Talking with Elsa Geuer in the grocery store in Almonte, she mentioned still having hummingbirds in her yard. Hummingbirds begin their migration in fall. They migrate during the day, and usually fly singly. Winter is spent in Mexico and Central America. They fly nonstop across the Gulf of Mexico, able to store enough fat beforehand to make this spectacular over-water crossing.
