Sports – Carleton Place Canadians clinched their first-ever Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) Bogart Cup championship on Easter Sunday afternoon. And they won it in the most dramatic fashion possible. Vinny Post’s goal at 6:50 of the first overtime period capped a relentless Carleton Place comeback which finally gained momentum when star defenceman Kelly Summers tied the contest 1-1 with just over three minutes left in regulation time. The visiting Smiths Falls Bears had led the pivotal fifth game of the Bogart Cup final series 1-0 from the 8:25 mark of the second period. Rookie sensation Neil Doef picked up a rebound and put it high into the Carleton Place goal past a helpless Guillaume Therien to open scoring following a scoreless first period. From that point Canadians, playing in front of another capacity crowd at Carleton Place and District Community Centre, applied steady pressure. But they could not beat acrobatic Smiths Falls’ netminder Michael Pinios who was fabulous making 35 saves. With the clock winding down it appeared the series would go to a sixth game in Smiths Falls Tuesday. Enter the league’s best forward Andy Sturtz and the CCHL’s top prospect Kelly Summers. Sturtz, who won the regular season scoring championship in the league, made a pinpoint pass to sophomore blueliner Summers as he raced to the corner of the Bears’ cage. The Golden Lake, Ont., native deftly steered the puck just inside the post to tie it. Carleton Place dominated the overtime. In fact Bears didn’t get a shot in extra time with virtually all of the action in the Smiths Falls zone. With tension building and the overtime moving toward the seven-minute mark, Almonte native Tyson Stewart fired the puck just wide of the Bears’ goal. His shot ricocheted off the end boards and came straight to Post. The Clarkston, Michigan native had an open side of the

Community – Here comes Carleton Place’s inaugural bridal show. Whether it’s contracting a photographer, selecting a musician or booking a caterer, the Just Say Yes!

Shannon, husband Patrick O’Neill and Alex Munro are co-organizers of the event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Tania & Rick’s

More than 30 local vendors and businesses will provide a diverse selection of products and services to choose from. “It was very important for us to go with local vendors,� Shannon said, “and they represent every industry.� Participating vendors include At The Altar Wedding Photography (Michael Gauthier), Main Event Entertainment, The Floral Boutique, I Do Cakes (Lorrie Gauthier), Rental Village Carleton Place, Cody Party Carleton Place and Ballygiblin’s Restaurant & Pub, just
Learn how to build a heritage fence at Algonquin College Community – Scott Dobson has an accomplished skill and his work can be spotted for miles across the county’s farmland – he builds heritage rail fences. While it’s widely popular across the region, heritage fencing requires a knowledge that has dwindled over the years. You now have the opportunity to use Dobson’s expertise and gain your own heritage fence-building knowledge as Dobson will teach a workshop at the Algonquin College Perth Campus on June 7. The one-day session will give you the fundamental knowledge and skills to build an unusual type of rail fence known as a sheep fence or Indian fence - one of Dobson’s signature fences. Dobson will be accompanied by Eugene Fitch – a local old-timer with
stories to tell, and a book about fences under his belt. This is a hands-on workshop. Participants will take part in an in-class workshop before constructing a five-rail fence on the campus site. Experience is not necessary, but you’ll need to bring gloves, lunch, a camera, and a fencing tool (if you have one, but it is not necessary). Registration is now open for the workshop. You can call the campus at 613-2672859 ext. 2691 or pop by the campus in person at 7 Craig St. in Perth. To learn more about the heritage fencing course, as well as the other Continuing Education courses on offer this spring at the Algonquin College Perth Campus, please visit its website at algonquincollege.com/perth.

Each bride will receive a ballot for a chance to win some great door prizes, and score extra discounts from some of the vendors who will be at the show. “If brides register in advance for the event they receive five ballots,� Shannon said.

Munro and wife Tania purchased their dance studio’s new building, the former LCBO property, three years ago. Together they are working to grow their business, which boasts the largest dance floor of all studios in the
National Capital Region. “Alex approached me about doing the bridal show,� Shannon said. “Many people don’t realize the businesses and services Carleton Place has to offer, as well as its unique venues.� “It’s also a good way to bring people to their location to see the dance studio,� she continued.

cipal Suzanne Morrison, president of the Ontario Principals’ Council District 28. “His legacy will live on for a long time,” added vice-chair Jeff McMillan. “The contribution he has made to this board and to the students of Upper Canada is immeasurable.” Pietersma’s final focus will be to ensure that a zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use by students at school events is enforced by the system. At Pietersma’s urging, the board passed a resolution that will create a new strategic plan charter to address the issue focus-
ing on student-driven solutions. It will encourage the expansion and reactivation of Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving chapters in our high schools. Principals will also ensure strict enforcement of current policies and procedures banning use of drugs and alcohol at proms and other events to avoid the tragedies that can result from impaired driving. “We must have the courage to keep our students safe,” said Pietersma. “They’re too important not to.” Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

equal access to French immersion and core French programming throughout the board. Pietersma instituted the Accountability Framework, a system that ensures goals and accomplishments of the CREW Strategic Plan are meeting the objectives set by trustees. He was also a champion of expanded social media and the use of iPads, smart phones, and other personal devices in the classroom. He led the board through a difficult challenge at the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) last school year, after the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) pressured members to withhold support for extracurricular activities following the passage of Bill 115, which withdrew the ability of ETFO members to strike. In April 2013, the OLRB ruled in favor of the UCDSB. The precedent-setting decision confirmed that where a collective agreement exists, counseling the withdrawal of voluntary activities is considered an illegal strike and is not permitted. The victory was not without its price, as teachers and their union vehemently resisted the challenge. “But when we saw that the decisions made by ETFO were affecting our students we could not stand idly by,” said Pietersma. “We had to take action. I think it was worth it.” Director David Thomas said such courage in the face of strong resistance has been a hallmark of Pietersma’s tenure. “Greg will always be recognized for his character, particularly his ability to precisely take an issue and apply it in the context of how it will impact students positively or negatively,” said Thomas. “Greg never faltered from the challenge of doing the right thing for students in spite of the fact it might have impacted him personally. The hallmark of his tenure is a deep sense of social justice.” Principals and fellow trustees say they will also miss Pietersma. “The principals definitely appreciated his commitment to improved student learning in our board and his support for arts programming, quality daily physical education and professional learning within our system,” said prin-

News – A man who focused the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) on student achievement, fought to maintain local control of decisions, and brought the board into the age of social media is stepping down. Chair Greg Pietersma announced April 14 he will not run in the fall of 2014 as school trustee for Dundas County. After spending a decade in school politics, the father of four wants to refocus his efforts on his business, and other new projects. “I view the job of trustee and chair as a significant commitment,” said Pietersma, owner of Pietersma Tinworks near Chesterville. “There is no schedule really because things happen and you have to constantly change your day and reflect on solving problems because public education is so important. There are other projects I want to pursue and in order to be fair to the job of trustee I want to step back and let someone else pick up the baton.” “One of the things that galvanized my decision is that my son Sam has joined my company and I want to take the time needed to help develop his skills and provide him the mentorship he needs going forward,” he added. During his tenure as trustee, vice-chair and chair he has overseen significant changes in the board that have improved student learning. He oversaw the Building 2020 process which realigned our school structure, closing smaller schools and amalgamating them, and building new facilities so that children could enjoy improved programing, as well as expanded social and extracurricular activities. “It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do,” Pietersma said about Building 2020. “When I was first elected I never thought I would be championing closing schools. But I became aware of the challenges of running small schools – that they couldn’t offer our students rich experiences with such small numbers in the classroom. We had to put our students first.” The process also brought about the successful Grades 7-12 model for our secondary schools, and ensured that every family has

Community – Relay For Life begins during the day, when the sun is shining bright and the excitement and energy is flowing through the community. The setting sun symbolizes the time when a patient is diagnosed with cancer. The day is getting darker and this represents the cancer patient’s state of mind as he or she feels that life is on an unknown journey. As the evening goes on, it gets cooler and darker, just as the emotions of the cancer patient do. Around 1 to 2 a.m., Relay participants have been walking for hours and may begin to feel tired and the desire to take a break or go home. This represents the time when a cancer patient starts treatment. It is at this time that many patients become exhausted, some sick, not wanting to go on, possibly wanting to give up. Just as the cancer patient cannot give up on his or

Mick Armitage Band has busy summer including appearance at Merrickville Car Show Community – After more than 30 years in the music business Mick Armitage continues to spend his nights and weekends entertaining people. With more than 1,000 shows under his belt the affable drummer and vocalist has no intention of quitting the music business. “I’m the weak link in the band,” Armitage says modestly. “But I just love to play. We are doing 20-25 events a year these days. “I tell the guys (band members) that we will keep playing until they (public) stop calling,” Armitage chuckles. “I work and I play music – that’s my life. “When I hear the cheering and shouting and watch the people dancing it is all worth it.” The Mick Armitage Band will be headliners at the ‘Spring Fling 2014 Charity Concert’ scheduled for Irish Hills Golf Club near Carp on Saturday, April 26. The venture begins at 8 p.m. and tickets are $25 apiece. The event, presented by Wanda Clark, broker for Keller Williams VIP Realty, will assist the ongoing battle against the growing problem presented by Type 1 Diabetes. Clark says all proceeds of the Carp benefit will go to assist the Torontobased Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Canada (JDRF). The organization also has an eastern Ontario office on Merivale Road in Ottawa. The motto of JDRF is, “Improving Lives, Curing Type 1 Diabetes.” Armitage says he and his band are pleased to be involved in such a worthwhile endeavour. “Wanda (Clark) is the chief organizer and she puts so much effort into this. Last year we raised more than $6,000.
“Diabetes can be such a devastating disease. We hope this event will sell out as we work to assist JDRF,” he states. Armitage says tables of 10 are available for April 26. To purchase individual tickets or tables telephone Armitage at 613-226-9178 or Clark at 613223-3310. The Mick Armitage Band will be joined by three other well-known Ottawa Valley and West Quebec entertainers. Vocalist Gail Gavan and the father-daughter team of Louis and Kaitlyn Schryer are special guests for the occasion. The always popular Gavan is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. Louis Schryer is a worldclass fiddler. His daughter Kaitlyn is an accomplished step dancer. “Louis is the cream of the crop,” Armitage says enthusiastically. “And Kaitlyn was just nine years old when she started dancing at shows we were playing.” This month’s show is a warm-up for a busy summer season for Armitage and his band including an appearance at the Merrickville Car Show in July. Long history The nucleus of the current Mick Armitage Band has been performing together since 1997. But Armitage’s band days date back to 1983 when he helped form the Arnprior-based group ‘Racoons on Ice’. They played together for 14 years, performing across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec. However, it is with the group that bears his name that Armitage has found his greatest success! They have performed nationally and internationally. “We’ve played on both coasts, we’ve
performed in Mexico six times and in 2006 we did a tour of Ireland,” he outlines. The band has been off the bar and night club circuit for years. “We book mainly with private clients and organizations. We play at fundraisers, like the one at Irish Hills Golf Club this month. We do shows of every kind including fairs, festivals and private parties,” Armitage explains. “Our business is almost all referrals – word of mouth. “I’ve definitely been around a long time. I know that because I am now playing at the weddings of the kids of the same people I played for (wedding parties) over 20 years ago.” He jokes his band is “mainly a warm weather act. “We don’t do many shows in the winter. Right now we’re doing about 25 shows in nine months. That works out to about 2.8 a month,” he laughs. He credits his four fellow band members with the group’s success. “We know over 500 songs, 90 per cent of which is classic rock. We’re a ‘Boomers’ band now.” Besides Armitage on drums and vocals the other members of the band are vocalist/bass player Grant Tomkinson from Westmeath, Stittsville’s Bruce Baker on saxophone and vocals and Al Bragg on the pedal steel. Bragg “The Reverend” also provides additional vocal support. Armitage calls his longtime bandmate (Bragg) “the best pedal steel player in Canada.” Like Gavan, Bragg is also a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. The newest member of the band is lead guitarist Pete Foret. The Aylmer, Quebec native has more than 30 years’ experience as an arranger, musician, composer and band leader. He has

performed with Alanis Morrisette, Martha Reeves and other world-class acts. Foret replaces long-time guitarist/vocalist Al Tambay. “Pete subbed for Al. So when Al had to leave the band due to other commitments Pete came on as the regular. We are fortunate to have him in the band. “Basically we switched one for the other. Al now subs for Pete. It works,” Armitage laughs. A native of Shawville, Quebec Armitage started playing music in his youth and soon his focus became the drums. “I grew up during the Rock and Roll era in the 1960s. That was my influence,” he recalls. His late mother Mary (Spearman) was a native of Stittsville. His father, Dr. Roly Armitage, is a highly respected veterinarian and horse breeder who is known across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec. Armitage Sr. is now 89 and living in Dunrobin in the West Carleton section of rural, west Ottawa. “Dad is still a going concern.” Last May the elder Armitage was among Canadian veterans who attended armistice ceremonies in Holland. A young Roly Armitage served with the Canadian Army during the liberation of western Europe in
1944 and early 1945, including the offensive which freed The Netherlands from nearly five years of Nazi occupation. “He was in the artillery. I am very proud of my Dad. He’s an amazing man,” his proud son observes. Armitage Jr. is a full-time civilian employee of the Department of National Defence and he resides in Ottawa. Busy year The Mick Armitage Band has another very busy year ahead. On Saturday, June 21 they will perform at a private, corporate party planned for the newly renamed Canadian Museum of History (formerly Canadian Museum of Civilization) in Gatineau, Quebec. Sunday, July 13 they will make a return engagement as part of the entertainment at the annual Merrickville Car Show which features live music from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The car show, the largest event of its kind in Canada, is located at the Blockhouse beside the Rideau Canal in historic Merrickville, southwest of Ottawa. On Thursday, July 17 the Mick Armitage Band makes yet another appearance as part of the City of Ottawa’s summer ‘Concerts in the Park Series.’ The classic rock concert will be staged at Fitzroy Provincial
Park in Fitzroy Harbour from 7-8:30 p.m. Admission is free and a barbecue will be held on site sponsored by the West Carleton Youth Committee. Saturday, July 19 they will be part of the entertainment at the Canadian Shark Championship at Britannia Yacht Club in Ottawa. Weddings and family reunions are also on the band’s list this summer. But on Sunday Aug. 31 the band returns to the Shawville Fair for a 16th consecutive year. They will perform from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. On the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 27 they will be part of the live musical entertainment at the annual Carp Fair. Visit the website www.carpfair.ca for the schedule and times. They already have a Christmas party booked in December and next Feb. 8 the band will perform at Dr. Roly Armitage’s 90th birthday party which is scheduled for the Constance Bay Legion Hall. Asked for the secret to their success Armitage Jr. responds, “As Hans Christian Andersen (Danish author and poet) once said ‘Where words fail, music speaks.’” For complete information on the Mick Armitage Band and their schedule for this year and early 2015 visit the website: www.mickarmitageband.com.

Community – The annual Pakenham Home Show was held at the Stewart Community Centre on April 5. There, event-goers could find someone to fill all of their home-related needs, from hot tub sales companies and roofers to appliances and furniture. Above, in their colourful, flower-filled booth, Jill Moxley, left, and Gwen Fleuelling, right, of the Pakenham Horticultural Society had many passers-by dreaming of spring.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Consider becoming organ, tissue donor DEAR EDITOR: April 20 to 27 is national Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week Are you registered as an organ and tissue donor? More than 95 per cent of Ontarians agree that organ donation is a good thing, yet only 25 per cent of Ontarians are registered as donors. Perth is 31 per cent, Smiths Falls is 26 per cent and Carleton Place, 25 per cent. Are you on record as a donor? You need to register even if you signed a donor card. A signed donor card is not recorded in the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s database and may not be available when needed. Go to www.beadonor. ca and with your health card number you can find out if you are on the data base, and if not you can be registered in a few minutes. You can also register at any ServiceOntario Centre. People over 50 mistakenly think they’re too old to be organ donors even though they are most likely to need transplants (In 2012, more than 60 per cent of recipients of deceased persons organs were over 50). In Ontario in 2011-2012, 47 per cent of the 222 people who gave the gift of life through organ donation after death were 50 or older, and 11 per cent were 70+.
More hospitals are moving to the “routine notification” program. This requires staff in the emergency departments and critical care units to report every death or impending death so that The Trillium Gift of Life Network can identify potential donors and includes all deaths of patients 79 years of age or younger on all floors of the hospital. Every donor has the potential to save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of up to 75 others through tissue donation. Organs include heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys and small bowel. The most common types of tissue transplanted are corneas, skin, bone, cardiovascular tissue (heart valves and veins) and connective tissue (tendons, ligaments). By talking it over with your family you will make it easier for your loved ones to consent to organ and tissue donation on your behalf. Be sure you visit www.giftoflife.on.ca and www.beadonor.ca for more information. One person dies every three days waiting for an organ. It doesn’t have to be this way. Recycle yourself – be a donor.

COMMENTARY Take caution with social media Editorial – Social media can be a wonderful thing – connecting people to one another in many different ways and for many different reasons. From Facebook to Twitter and pinterest there are many sites to choose from. Recently, police issued a warning after receiving several complaints from women in the area. The women have reported being contacted by a male over Facebook with the “pretext of selling something and then insisting on being added as a friend.” This male has then attempted to meet with the females, or made remarks deemed as inappropriate over Facebook. This has prompted the police to remind the community to follow safe rules of practice when online and on social media sites. They advise to “Not add persons as friends on Facebook unless you are completely comfortable with that individual.” They also point out that adding people on to your account also allows them to potentially see the profile pages of your friends. Double checking security settings on the account is something police also remind facebook users to put on their immediate to-do list. If for some reason an account holder has added someone by mistake, or find they are uncomfortable with that person, the police advise to block them immediately. In the cases mentioned above, the local police report, “A person of interest has been identified” and investigations are continuing. Always remember to take caution when going online. If you are unsure or uncomfortable don’t “Friend” them. When using the internet one can never be absolutely certain with whom one is dealing.
Mary learns there’s no such thing as a family pet on the farm Lifestyle – It was a wet and long spring that year. And the winter coldness was yet to fade away to warmer days, leaving a chill in the air that seemed to penetrate our very bones. But it was lambing time, and the joy of welcoming those tiny little bodies of wool out on the farm in Northcote, took away the greyness of the season, and filled my heart with unspeakable joy. Although I never wanted to see the actual births, it wasn’t long after the deliveries that I was in the barn, leaning on the board rail of the lambing pen, watching the mothers nudge their babies and they, with wobbly legs trying, to find firm footing. That year Father was pleased with the number of lambs born in the barn, and with two or three ewes yet to birth, everything pointed to a bit of relief from the cares of the Depression. There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was
all around us. When the very last ewe delivered, two tiny bodies emerged, but alas, one was as black as ink. Father who prided himself on the white wool he took to market, shook his head, and then said, “don’t think its going to make it anyway...it’s just a little runt of a thing, I doubt if it will see the end of the day. At that very moment I claimed the little black lamb for my very own. I called it Lambie most of the time, but sometimes, called it Blackie. I asked Father if I could look after it, and from then on, the little lamb and I were inseparable. I fed it milk from a little bottle belonging to one of my dolls, and to my utter joy, not only did it survive that day, and the night, but began to show signs of growing into a healthy and sturdy sheep. I was too young to know that you didn’t raise domestic animals on the farm as pets. They would eventually end up at the marVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

ket, or in the smoke house. Or, more than likely, I just put the thought out of my mind. Lambie and I would grow old together. And it grew, and only when I was at school or in the house, or in bed, were we apart. It followed me around the barnyard, and while it was still tiny, I carried it in my arms as if it were a little puppy. And I watched in wonder, as Lambie grew. I even hated to go off to school and leave Lambie behind. My brother Emerson thought it was pure nonsense to have a lamb as a pet. “It’s not a lamb anymore,” he News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Laura Armstrong DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-283-3182 ,ext. 138 Classified/Regional Roundup 613-283-3182 Judy Michaelis x122 email: jmichaelis@theemc.ca Cheryl Code x133 email: cheryl.code@metroland.com Fax: 613-283-5909

said. “It’s a full grown sheep.” As if that made a whit of difference about how I felt about Lambie. It would always be a baby sheep as far as I was concerned. I remember the day everything changed. It was a cold and wet late spring day. I wondered if summer would ever come. We had to wear our rubber raincoats to the Northcote school, and rubber boots and carry our shoes with our books and lunch. As we neared the house after school, I could see that Mother even had the lamps lit, and for once I didn’t go to the barn, but stayed in the cozy kitchen. And then it was suppertime, and I still hadn’t gone to the barn to check on Lambie, sure that it would be as warm as toast on a mound of hay with all the other sheep. Our supper was ample as usual, and just as I was tucking into my bowl of apple crisp, Emerson, who had been unusually quiet all through ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea McMurtry SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM
the meal, asked me if I enjoyed my meal. Which was unusual for Emerson, because he was usually only interested in his own stomach. I assured him I did. “Well, you just ate Lambie,” he said. I looked around the table. No one raised their eyes. Mother busied herself at the stove, and Father reached over and patted my hand, and told me again that we couldn’t raise farm animals as pets. Nausea swept over me like a cold wet blanket, and I ran to the privy like someone possessed. My stomach ached from being so sick and I thought I may not survive. Could anyone die from a broken heart, I wondered? The feeling of utter sadness and helplessness stayed with me long after that fateful night had passed. It was the night I vowed never again in my lifetime would I ever eat a mouthful of lamb. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

BarnDoor Productions closes 19th season with Broadway’s second-longest running play Arts – It’s 19 years, almost to the day, since Perth’s BarnDoor Productions (BDP) mounted their very first show, playing in public school gymnasiums in three towns in Lanark County. A lot has changed for Perth’s original community theatre since then: for one thing, the group long ago outgrew school gyms and now own and perform in their own ground-level, barrier-free theatre. What hasn’t changed is the hard work and sweat that BDP’s company of community players put into every production. What they do is “amateur” in the best sense of the word, meaning they do it for the love of the work. What they produce on the stage goes far beyond what the word “amateur” often implies. One of the comments given after BDP’s very first performance in 1995 was “Of course, most of your people are professionals,” when none were. Even at that early time in their history, BDP’s company of players presented work that, in the words of the Perth Courier, “belies their amateur status.” Nineteen seasons later, BDP is opening their 93rd production, taking on one of the most honoured and challenging plays of the last decade, the secondlongest running Broadway play of the 2000s. Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage, translated by Christopher Hampton, won the French Moliere Award for Best New Comedy, the British Olivier Award for Best New Play and four Tony Awards on Broadway including, of course, Best New Play. For a comedy to win the Tony for Best Play is rare; for the same comedy to also win the Olivier for Best Play is unheard of.

It’s all very civilized…for now. From left: Don Mackay, Karen Bernique, Chris Angel and Kristy Angel are featured in God of Carnage, the final show in BarnDoor Productions’ 19th season, which opens this God of Carnage is, on the surface, a simple story about two sets of parents who meet to discuss their sons’ schoolyard fight like civilized people. We find, by the end, that the veneer of civilization is very thin in places. It’s a play of minute detail and twists of character that presents a very tough challenge for its cast of four. BDP’s company are drawing on ex-
week at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth. Two sets of parents meet to discuss their sons’ schoolyard fight in a civilized manner – until the civilization wears off. The show runs April 25, 26, 27, May 1, 2, 3 and 4.
perience to meet the challenge. Chris and Kristy Angel, who played Nick and Honey in 2012’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, play a very different married couple this time around, with a very different take on married life. Karen Bernique, who helped reveal the Secrets of a Soccer Mom for BDP in 2008, brings a real touch of neurosis and more to her role, while Don Mac-
Kay, whose first stage appearance was in 2012’s The Cricket On The Hearth, Rehearsed, steps into a major role as a self-assured, dominant lawyer, more intent on his clients than his family. In all, the four present a lighted powder keg, ready to explode. When it does, it is with a balanced blend of both comedy and insight – a show with both pratfalls and philosophy.
It takes a deft directorial hand to shape such a play and BDP producing director Janice Jacklin brings over three decades of directorial experience to the task. What Janice brings to a show is a unique skill, the ability to craft a production so that the audience rarely notices that there even was a director, which is a rare gift. God of Carnage is a great show to highlight the kind of work that BDP’s company produces time after time. It is funny, exciting, engrossing and a little bit enlightening and a fitting finale to BDP’s 19th mainstage season. Of course, once the main stage season ends, the summer season begins and BDP is presenting two classics for 2014: the Victorian thriller Gaslight (actually written in 1938) in June and the 1670s comedy The Country Wife, one of the most outrageous plays of the classical repertoire, for July/August. And, once those are done, it’s time for BarnDoor Productions’ 20th anniversary season for 2014/2015, but that’s another story. God of Carnage runs April 25, 26, May 1, 2, 3 at 8 p.m. and April 27 and May 4 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved, or $22 at the door. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884. No credit cards are required, simply bring cash to the performance. All performances are at the barrier-free, ground-level Full Circle Theatre (26 Craig Street, Perth) near Last Duel Park. More information and online ordering is at www.barndoorproductions.ca. Submitted by BarnDoor Productions.

Europe by rail provides countless travel options Lifestyle – After the winter we have had (we were still having it when I wrote this column) it is not surprising summer and vacations are on the minds of so many readers. In the wake of my recent column on Ireland I received
numerous emails from people who A.) Outlined their travel experiences on the Emerald Isle or B.) Offered suggestions on places to visit in Ireland. Thank you for the feedback everyone, it is always great to hear from newspaper readers. Due to

my email volume I don’t get a chance to answer every message. But I do want to emphasize how much I appreciate all of your comments and suggestions on every subject I write about. A Carleton Place friend hailed me on the street one day recently while I was out for my afternoon walk. “I’m not happy with you,” she said. “What have I done this time,” I replied. “You’re going to Ireland,” she said, flashing a wide grin. She was pulling my leg of course. But she still made it clear she is jealous! “I don’t blame you,” I added. “Isn’t it a wonderful country?” “You had better go to Wicklow,” she offered. I assured her the picturesque county, south of Dublin, is on our itinerary this summer. Last week I met another friend downtown. After exchanging pleasantries he informed me he was leaving for Banff by train the next day. He makes an annual pilgrimage by rail to Alberta and the Banff Springs Hotel where, as a student, he worked for the summer in the hotel kitchens. He traveled by rail then too. And he enjoyed the experience so much he now feels his year is incomplete if he doesn’t repeat that journey. I know exactly how he feels. Some travel and life experiences are so wonderful they cry out to be repeated as often as time and money will allow. As I continued my walk I felt this column coming on. For me there is no better way to clear my head and think about what lies ahead than when I am walking. Thinking about our planned Ireland trip and hearing about my friend’s rail excursion to Banff prompts me to extoll the
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
virtues of train travel in Europe. I’ve mentioned my love of rail travel in past columns and features in this newspaper. Like my local friend, I never tire of rail excursions. Not only is it a fast, efficient way to get from point A to point B, it is also a great way to see our continent and any other country you choose to visit. There are far too few rail options in Canada and the United States I am sad to report. Unfortunately we are so tied to motor vehicles in North America that passenger train service is sporadic at best and nonexistent in many places. Terrible decision Locally it was so incredibly sad to see the last railway line through our community torn up last summer. It marked the end of an era, but it also means train service is unlikely to be restored here – ever! It would be cost prohibitive to even consider that kind of infrastructure again. So, very short sighted decision making and we will all pay a price for it! In Europe it’s a totally different story. Great Britain for example continues to be utterly dependent on railways. Fewer people own motor vehicles there because trains and buses are so frequent and dependable in most communities. The government there encourages citizens to use mass transit and the railways are alive and well. Newer, better trains are being added all the time and lines are continually upgraded in an effort to provide faster, more efficient service. Clearly
the thinking is the exact opposite of what governments here are considering when it comes to mass transit. Outside of our biggest centres, passenger rail service and/or light rail is not an option for many Canadians including communities across the coverage area of this newspaper. On our first private visit to the United Kingdom in the mid-1990s my wife Kathleen and me began a love affair with train travel which continues to blossom. I clearly remember our first trips in England. We took the high-speed service from King’s Cross Station in London north to York which, interestingly, happens to be home to Britain’s National Railway Museum (it is well worth a visit too). We were there in just over two hours. By road the same trip would have taken more than twice that long. The next day we decided to visit the Yorkshire seaside community of Scarborough which, among many attractions, has interesting castle ruins perched high atop a cliff overlooking the North Sea. On a clear day the views up and down the coast are unlimited. You can see for 30 miles (nearly 50 kilometres). Beneath the castle walls and overlooking the sea is the grave of novelist Anne Brontë, one of the famed Brontë sisters. She died young (age 29) and is interred in St. Mary’s churchyard. We made the short journey to and from Scarborough on a so-called “Sprinter” a two-car train designed for short haul trips. It was a slower and
bumpy ride. But I can still remember the lovely, green Yorkshire countryside we passed through. In places our train scared sheep who were grazing near the tracks. They bolted across the fields, tails high in the air. Since that time we have visited the UK many times and we have traveled the length and breadth of England and Scotland on the train. Flying is faster of course, but you see very little from the air. The train quite literally opens a window to the country you are passing through. There is so much more to see. Apart from being stranded at Stansted Airport (in the County of Essex north of London) on a hot – yes, it can be very hot in England – summer afternoon we have had few negative experiences on the train. Trains are frequent, generally on time and they are an efficient way to get around in England and other European nations where heavy road traffic often leads to total gridlock. We would far rather take the train than drive ourselves. Besides, they drive on the wrong side of the road in the UK! German experience Kathy and I and our friends the LeBlanc’s have also had very good train travel experiences in Germany in recent years. Getting around that country couldn’t be easier on the high speed train service and using the trains is so convenient. If you fly to Frankfurt am Main (simply Frankfurt to most people) there are two railway stations right at the airport. One is for domestic travel, the other for international train service. Traveling south via Mannheim, Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden we reached our destination, Offenburg, so quickly we were amazed. We then picked
up our rental van and proceeded with our tour of the Black Forest and the nearby Alsace Region of east-central France. Our planned visit to Ireland this summer will also include liberal use of the train. It will be our first time using the rail service on the island but given our past European experiences we have no hesitation in booking trains there. We plan a combined train/ coach (bus) tour of the south coast in the Irish Republic and the west coast up to Galway. From there we will return to our base in Dublin before departing, again by rail, for Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. The four of us love the train and we are thrilled at the prospect of seeing sections of Ireland from the comfort of a railway carriage. Personally, I would recommend the train to anyone planning a visit to the British Isles, Ireland or Continental Europe. From air hubs such as London, Glasgow, Dublin and Frankfurt you can quickly and efficiently travel virtually anywhere across the European continent. Besides train/coach excursions there are also trips which combine train and sea travel. Your travel agent will be happy to outline the many options available to you. We can hardly wait to depart on our latest European adventure. Using the train will simply make our journeys all the more enjoyable! It’s a lesson we need to apply here in order to reduce our growing dependence on motor vehicles. More public transit is the way to go and you need look no farther than Europe to see how well it could work here.

Do you have a chronic illness, making day-to-day living tiring? If so, Living Well is a program for you! Participants from Country Roads Community Health Centre are talking about the program and how it helped them build their confidence and take charge of their health problems. One person said, “Liv-

A detailed look at how car markers rank in terms of recalls Lifestyle – With all the talk of recalls lately (GM’s ignition switches and Toyota’s latest multi-model call-back) it might be helpful to put some perspective on things. A popular US used vehicle website; iseecars. com has compiled a ranking sheet to show how carmakers stack up in terms of the number of recalls per vehicles sold. While this is a strictly US based statistical study, the ratings are fairly accurate for Canadian vehicles. How does your favourite auto manufacturer stack up? See the attached chart, which shows manufacturer recall rate trends. “Hello Brian, This is a question that affects all those who have separate rims for their winter tires. Like many others, I have my winter tires mounted on separate rims, for easy changeover. I also have Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) installed on my winter rims. In my case, both the summer and winter tires run at 32 psi. When I switch to summer tires, does the TPMS have to be recalibrated? If so, this would seem to preclude lots of folks from being able to swap out their own tires and rims.” Paul Most vehicles will adapt to a seasonal change in tire pressure sensors without any special intervention. It usually only takes a 15-minute drive or less for the vehicle’s TPMS receiver to adapt to the different sensors. This depends on the make and model of
the vehicle and the type of sensor used. In my counter experience few drivers ever opt for winter tire pressure sensors, mainly due to cost and their susceptibility to seizing from salt and moisture contamination. Here are a couple of tips (now known as hacks) that are worth trying. If you’re constantly dinging your car door(s) on the walls of your garage, consider slicing a pool noodle in half and fastening it to the walls. This next one sounds crazy, but there is science to back it up. To extend the range on your vehicle’s remote entry fob, hold it against your head while pushing the button. It’s actually the liquid in your skull that makes

Ruth Margaret
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother. Ruth passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 30, 2014. Born on April 10, 1925, Ruth grew up in North Bay, Ontario the daughter of William and Tina Rankin who owned the North Bay General Store. After high school she left North Bay and moved to Toronto where she attended and graduated as a Registered Nurse at the Toronto East General Hospital. In the summer of 1946 she met a young man at a resort in the Muskoka’s Allan Somerville and started a relationship that would lead to marriage in 1948. They would start their new life in Hamilton, Ontario and a few years later relocate to Niagara Falls with three sons. Nine years later they would move to Perth, Ontario where Ruth resided with her family for most of her married life. Ruth would later move to Fredricton, NB where she resided for her remaining years. Ruth was a loving and caring woman who had a deep love for her husband and family. She enjoyed her nursing years and worked hard at being a devoted wife, mother, and mentor. She enjoyed her golf, curling, bridge, baking and social gatherings. An avid reader, Ruth always had a book in hand. She was a loyal sports fan, always cheering for her Hamilton Tiger Cats and Toronto Blue Jays! Her various dogs gave her love and comfort, particularly in her later years. Ruth was predeceased by her husband of 45 years Allan, her brother Bill (Sheila) Rankin, and her sister Betty (John) Marchington. Ruth is survived by her sons Grant, Rob (Terri), David (Donna), grandchildren Christopher, Barrett, and Brendan, as well as several nieces and nephews. Ruth will be missed by all.

IN MEMORIAM
COUTTS, Bill – In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, who was taken from us April 24, 2011. It’s hard to believe 3 years has passed. We lost a husband, father and grandfather with a heart of gold. How much we miss him can never be told. He shared our troubles And helped us along, If we follow his footsteps, We will never go wrong. What he suffered he told but few, He did not deserve What he went through. Tired and weary he made no fuss But tried so hard to stay with us. We prayed for a miracle all in vain, That God would make you well again. But God knew best, we had to part, It eased your pain but broke our hearts. We cannot bring the old days back When we were all together. The family chain is broken now, But memories live forever. He was a father so very rare, Content in his home and always there, On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests, God bless you, Dad You were one of the best. So if roses grow in heaven God, Please pick a bunch for us. And place them in Dad’s arms, And tell him they’re from us. And when he turns and smiles, Place a kiss upon his cheek, And hold him for awhile. Lois Coutts & family
Forever Young NELSON, Larry Jr. July 18, 1964 - April 18, 2013 – My loving son Larry, who passed away a year ago today. God saw you getting weak and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, come with me. Sadly missed by Mom, Uncle John and Aunt Kathy
RIP BRENNO May 1, 1951–April 17, 2012 My darling Rip – Dear Dad, We love you and miss you more than words can explain, And our hearts continue to ache every second of every day, But knowing you are watching and taking care of us like always, somehow helps us to breathe and carry on. You are my everything and I can’t wait to hold your hand again. “We Love you more” With all our Love, Lo, Jenna and Steven XO

The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. As of July 1, 2014, our “We Remember” publication will only run in

OBST, Wanda - In memory of a dear, fun and loving sister and aunt, who was taken tragically in a car accident, April 23, 2003. Time passes… our grief remains… You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Forever in our hearts… Deb, Doug and Erin

communities more resilient and reduce damages. These could include: increased flash flood protection, better systems to deal with freezing rain episodes and extended power-outages, improved culverts and storm water management systems, and water conservation measures for low water periods. With municipalities and conservation authorities struggling under budget constraints, the identification and prioritization of adaptation measures and early implementation of the most urgent ones is important. Dr. Bruce illustrated one proven method for undertaking a climate change risk assessment at municipal and regional levels, together with an example of a visual display of the risk levels of various climate impacts. Dr. Bruce acknowledged the very useful work that has been done by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority on water quality and aquatic ecosystems in the Tay watershed and Perth region. One very helpful undertaking was the flood plain mapping done in 2012; he highlighted the need to update this every five years as climate conditions change. He stressed that community organizations and individuals can and should play active roles in promoting and undertaking measures to adapt to the changing climate; deciding on priority measures should be based on widely shared analyses. Two complementary approaches are needed to address climate change issues: 1) To adapt; and 2) To reduce global and local emissions to slow the
rate of change. The speaker observed that Canada is clearly a laggard nation in implementing emissions reduction strategies especially compared with countries like Sweden which has similar latitudinal climate issues to Canada. A chart of projected provincial greenhouse gas emissions indicated a slow reduction across the country but a growth in emissions from the oil sands operations, although the industry is making significant efforts to reduce those emissions. In conclusion, the speaker emphasized that climate change is here and is increasing. Impacts will continue to increase for several decades in spite of reduction efforts which will slow the rate of change. The water sector is facing major impacts, and a portfolio of adaptation measures is essential to protect communities and the water sector. The talk provoked very active questions and interesting discussion.

Province’s spring turkey hunt just around the corner April 25-May 31 Lifestyle – Nothing says springtime like the sound of a distant gobble in the turkey woods. The spring turkey hunting season starts Friday, April 25 and runs to Saturday, May 31 and this season offers more opportunities for Ontario hunters than ever before. Sustainable wild turkey populations in Ontario have allowed for additional spring and fall hunting opportunities in 2014. For the first time, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has introduced new spring turkey hunting seasons in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 42 (Sudbury district) and WMUs 47, 49 and 50 (North Bay and Parry Sound districts). A new fall hunting season will take place in WMU 59 (Pembroke district). The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), along with other advocates, began working with the MNR more than 25 years ago to restore wild turkeys in the province. “The reintroduction of the
THE EMC - 36 - Thursday, April 24, 2014
eastern wild turkey to Ontario is one of the province’s most successful wildlife recovery stories,” OFAH biologist Dawn Sucee says. “With more than 70,000 birds estimated in Ontario, populations seem to have stabilized in many areas. In other areas of the province, the range continues to expand naturally.” This is great news for Ontario turkey hunters who may not have had a turkey hunting season in their WMU previously, or for those who are interested in travelling to new hunting grounds. These additional turkey hunting opportunities were established in part using information submitted by Ontario hunters. Mandatory turkey harvest reporting enables MNR biologists to analyze populations and make recommendations on management. Successful turkey hunters must report their harvested bird by no later than noon the day after it was harvested.

Controversial zoning bylaw amendment passed By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
News – After a long and controversial battle, the Town of Mississippi Mills has passed a zoning bylaw amendment that will allow Minto Inc. to build a townhouse development within an established neighbourhood in Almonte. At their regular meeting on April 15, Mississippi Mills town council passed the amended zoning bylaw, which gives Minto the go ahead to build a townhouse complex in a 40-year-old Almonte neighbourhood, which currently houses only single-family homes. “The zoning bylaw did get passed,” said Diane Smithson, the town’s chief administrative officer, in an interview after the meeting.
“However, the residents who were opposed did get the developer to make several concessions, which rarely happens. I think it was a good compromise in the end.” The new zoning for the property, which is located at the corner of Harold Street and Gale Street in Almonte, is Residential Third Density Exception 9 (R3-9) Zone. This new zoning will allow for the construction of a maximum of 12 two-storey townhomes on the lot. Background The original public meeting for the zoning bylaw amendment to the property, which is currently owned by Minto, happened at a Committee of the Whole meeting back on Feb. 4. At the meeting, Minto was pro-
Team
posing a zoning bylaw amendment from the original zoning of Residential First Density (R1) Zone, which would have allowed for the construction of single-family homes like the ones surrounding the property, to a Residential Third Destiny, Subzone AA (R3-AA) Zone. The proposed zoning would have permitted the construction of highdensity townhomes that could have potentially reached up to three storeys in height. However, the recommended zoning bylaw amendment was never passed on to council that night. After an overwhelming number of residents expressed their opposition to the proposal, Committee of the Whole deferred the decision until a See MINTO page A/CP2
Community – Now that it finally looks like spring has arrived in earnest, the Town of Mississippi Mills has a week full of warm weather events coming up. During this week, Monday, April 21 and ending Sunday, April 27, Mississippi Mills will be hosting three of its annual springtime staples: Arbour Week, Pitch-In Week and the culmination of the famous tree sale. Arbour Week In an effort to gear residents up for spring, Arbour Week is held by the town to “rekindle your love of trees,” and to help re-plant local forests and both private and public spaces. Beginning on Tuesday, April 22 and running until Saturday, April 26, Arbour Week is a time to plant trees and other plants for the good of the community. Tiffany MacLaren, the town’s community economic and cultural co-ordinator, said that the town’s annual tree sales show that many Mississippi Mills residents are faithfully buying and planting young trees in the community. “This wonderful trend is more pressing now than ever since within the next five years we are going to lose most, if not all, of our ash trees due to the Emerald Ash Borer,” she said. Arbour Week is meant to be a time to raise awareness for tree planting and also to designate a time to make more of an effort to plant trees. In addition, the town’s beautification committee has issued a challenge to residents: they want to see increased tree planting efforts over the next four planting seasons that lead up to Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. Their goal is to see 2,000 new trees planted locally each year. Two Arbour Week themed events will also be held in celebration of the initiative. Dr. Ian Nadar held a talk on Wednesday, April 23 about the threat of the Emerald Ash Borer at Almonte Old Town Hall. See next week’s issue for coverage of this event. Also, on Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m. in Appleton Bay Park, local Alison Ball will
be presented with the 2014 Tree Champion Award. Following a ceremonial tree planting, there will be a Tree Talk with Roc Cretien and an opportunity to learn about the Appleton Wetlands and the annual Mississippi River Shoreline Cleanup. Pitch-In Week Held over the course of six days, from April 22 to April 27, Pitch-In Week is a time for residents to come together to help clean up the community. During Pitch-In Week, individuals are encouraged to take to the streets of their neighbourhoods to pick up stray garbage clean up the land. Pitch-In garbage bags are available at a number of local locations: Nicholson’s Sundries, both the Pakenham and Clayton General Store, Appleton Mail Boxes, Baker Bob’s and the Almonte Old Town Hall. Also, on Saturday, April 26 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m., an organized Pitch-In event will be taking place to clean up the streets and parks in downtown Almonte. Interested individuals can call 613-256-1077 for more information. Tree sale Mississippi Mills’ annual tree sale is coming to a close. Tree pick up for pre-ordered trees will be on Saturday, April 26 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the town’s municipal office (3131 Old Perth Road, Almonte.) Don’t worry if you haven’t ordered any trees yet, though – you may still have a chance. Trees are available for order right up until April 18. Visit www.mississippimills.com/trees to view the catalogue of big trees available for purchase from the Mississippi Mills Chamber of Commerce or call Kathryn at 613256-7886. Little trees can also be purchased from the town’s beautification committee. Saplings – trees ranging from two to four-yearsold – can be purchased for $3 or $4 by calling Bonnie Hawkins at 613-256-1077. The Neighbourhood Tomato organization is also selling 220-litre rain barrels for $55 each. They can be ordered at www.rainbarrel.ca and can be picked up at the same time as trees on April 26.

meeting could be arranged between the local residents and the builder. Eventually, on Feb. 26, representatives from the group of opposed residents was able to meet with Mississippi Mills town planner, Steve Stirling, as well as representatives from Minto to discuss the proposed amendment and to talk about concerns. In the end, Minto agreed to change the proposed zoning bylaw amendment from the original proposal of Residential Third Density, Subzone AA (R3-AA) Zone to the now accepted Residential Third Density Exception 9 (R3-9) Zone. The major differences between the two zonings is the minimum rear yard setback and the maximum development height. The original proposed zoning would have allowed for a six-metre rear yard setback and a maximum height of 11 metres (potentially high enough for three storeys) whereas the new zoning will allow for a rear-yard setback of 7.5 metres and a maximum height of nine metres. According to the report compiled for council following the meeting, the opposed residents felt that the reduced maximum height would be enough to quell their fears of having tow-
ering three-storey townhomes in their neighbourhood. Following the residents’ meeting on Feb. 26, a report was brought forward to the April 1 Committee of the Whole, asking that they recommend the new zoning bylaw amendment to council for approval.

Lanark Animal Pound in Montague Township leashed until 2015 tgesner@perfprint.ca
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Yet again, several residents came out to Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning and protection committee meeting last Tuesday, April 15, for the latest discussion concerning the proposed Lanark Animal Pound (LAP) in Montague Township. In offering an update, Coun. Doug Black, the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair, noted there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough support from LAP working group members to construct a facility that would house both a municipal pound and a new Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) shelter. The LAP working group consists of a number of Lanark County municipalities. At a March meeting of the working group, â&#x20AC;&#x153;concerns were raised by a number of municipalities about using tax dollars to support a nonmunicipal organization as well as
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sole-sourcingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the operation of the pound,â&#x20AC;? Les Reynolds explained in a written report to council. Reynolds is Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of protective services and fire chief, as well as a member of the LAP working group. With the latest proposal off the table, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the consensus was to move forward with the original concept of building a municipal pound at the location in Montague and issuing a request for proposal (RFP) seeking an individual or organization (including LAWS) interested in operating it,â&#x20AC;? Reynolds indicated. At this time, the anticipated cost to construct a facility that would meet the needs of partners is $180,000. Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share would be $29,558. Furthermore, the annual operational costs are projected to be $56,900 with Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share being $11,350. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The final costs and our share of them will, of course, depend on the
number of municipal partners, the contracted cost to construct the facility, and the response to the RFP for operation of the facility,â&#x20AC;? Reynolds noted. Carleton Place currently rents five pound spaces at LAWS; however, the agreement runs until the end of 2014. Delay All LAP working group partners received an email from Montague on Monday, April 14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Montague confirmed its commitment to the (LAP) project, but stating with some gaps that need to be filled in and other significant issues they are facing, and due to staff workload, they probably arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared to start construction until sometime in 2015,â&#x20AC;? Reynolds said. A recommendation was introduced by Black and carried to direct staff to continue to monitor the development for plans for the LAP,
and the relationship with LAWS continue to be strengthened. Mayor Wendy LeBlanc noted a letter recently received from LAWS president Kathryn Hoyland indicated the shelter â&#x20AC;&#x153;would be willing to continue partnering with Carleton Place for pound service,â&#x20AC;? with a guarantee of uninterrupted services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kathy wrote â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am looking at numbers and can comfortably say we can do it for no more than what you would be paying for the Lanark Animal Poundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? LeBlanc continued. The last paragraph of Hoylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correspondence proved important to the mayor. It read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the second January meeting Les Reynolds indicated Carleton Place was happy with the services currently provided by LAWS, and I would like an opportunity to discuss this face to face to see if we can come up with a solution.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like she is already looking at what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proposing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to strengthen our relationship and continue with the arrangement that we already have with LAWS until we get more information from
Montague,â&#x20AC;? LeBlanc said. Reynolds noted there was a clause in the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing agreement with LAWS that allows for renewal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see us doing this,â&#x20AC;? he said.

way 30 minutes after the game ended. A capacity crowd of 1,100 filled the community centre to watch the absorbing match. Counting regular season and playoff action Carleton Place won 10 of 11 games against arch rival Smiths Falls this season including all six regular season meetings. CCHL championships aren’t easy to come by, as Bears can attest. Smiths Falls last won the title 39 years ago in the spring of 1975. Bears claimed back-to-back championships in 1974 and 1975. They haven’t won the title since. Carleton Place claimed this year’s best-of-seven championship series 4-1 in games. Canadians took a stranglehold on the set by winning three straight games. Smiths Falls, who played well in every contest, secured a 5-2 triumph in front of a record home crowd of nearly 1,800 fans on Good Friday to extend the series. Bears’ goalie Michael Pinios was outstanding in the series finale, kicking out 35 shots and nearly leading his team into a sixth
Credits opponents Carleton Place head coach and team owner Jason Clarke was relieved the series didn’t go any farther. “They (Bears) played really well. I wondered if we were ever going to score on Pinios (Sunday),” he said. In the midst of the wild on-ice celebration Sunday, CCHL commissioner Kevin Abrams presented the league championship trophy (it’s officially called the Bogart-Nielsen Cup) to team captain Elias Ghantous with a beaming Clarke looking on. All of the players and coaches then posed for the traditional group photo, setting off even more cheering and clapping from their deliriously happy fans. Among the full house was LeBlanc. She attended every game except those played on Tuesday when council regularly meets. “I am so impressed by the players. On and off the ice they represent the team and the town so well. Many of them volunteer in the community. They work at the daycare and the library. The kids just love them. They are good role

They clearly demonstrate that sports and athletics are not mutually exclusive.” Clarke gave his players four days off following Sunday’s big win. Daily practices resume tomorrow (Friday) and the team travels to Montreal Tuesday where they are scheduled to begin the Fred Page Cup next Wednesday night. The winner of the Montreal-area tournament will compete in the Royal Bank Cup Canadian Junior A hockey championship in Vernon, British Columbia May 10-18.

Community – Crafters, get your glue guns ready – the spring edition of Handmade Harvest is just around the corner. In order to accommodate the sheer number of vendors, this year’s spring show will, for the first time ever, be spread over two full days: Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4. “Normally the fall show is two days,” said Emily Arbour, the show’s creator, “but we decided to go two days for the spring show this time, too.” Handmade Harvest is a twice-a-year handmade craft show that has become a much-anticipated event among locals and out-of-towners alike. Started by Arbour and her then business partner, Colleen Hewitt, a few years ago, the show has grown to be a massive Almonte attraction. This year, Arbour has taken on a new business partner, husband Brad Weir, after Hewitt, owner of Almonte’s Crush Marketplace, decided it was time to focus on her family. Hewitt and Crush Marketplace still have a place in the show she helped create though, as one the event’s sponsors. This spring’s show will feature more than 50 different vendors each day, who will fill the North Lanark Agricultural
with Friends, a pop-up espresso bar, who will be serving Equator Coffee during the event. “People will also see a lot of puppets represented at the show,” Arbour said, going on to say that since Puppets Up! is such a big attraction in Mississippi Mills, it only makes sense to tie in the two. Being a local business owner herself, Arbour, who operates Mill Street’s Hello Yellow store, is a big fan of supporting Mississippi Mills companies, and is working closely with the Almonte Print Shop and Almonte

Tenth annual Where’s Franktown? Run set for May 10 Community – The tenth annual ‘Where’s Franktown?’ Run, presented by the Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) is scheduled to take place Saturday, May 10. The event began ten years ago at the CCA to promote student health and physical activity but quickly turned into a community event after the school decided to invite local people to participate in the run. Every year the run continues to grow, last year about 500 runners participated and this year that number is hoped to increase. “We have runners of all ages,
from two-year-old kids in the onekilometre event to 70-year-old men,” said Tom Bourne, principal at CCA. Runners from all over attend the Franktown run. People come from Toronto, Montreal, Kingston and the Ottawa area. One of Ottawa’s top triathletes, Bruce McNicoll has promoted the run by saying “What a wonderful event!” “Warm hospitality, a variety of fast, accurate courses, very cool awards, and the absolute best post-race food ever! Two thumbs way up for Where’s Franktown.” The event offers four races and four scenic flat routes that are per-
fect for runners to attempt their personal best times. The one-kilometre event is a family fun walk/ run that starts beside the CCA property on Irvine Road at 9:30 a.m. The 5km, 10km and 15km all start and finish on Church Street in Franktown. These longer runs will be run on back country roads without traffic throughout the scenic Franktown countryside. The 15km will start at 9:30 a.m., the 10km run will follow at 10 a.m., and the last race, the 5km run will begin at 10:10 a.m. “The event should wrap up around 11 a.m. and awards will be given out after all the races are complete,” said Bourne.
The event is scheduled to continue through rain or shine weather. The courses are very well liked by all runners, as the flat, well marked routes allow runners to attempt their personal best times. Water stations are available throughout all the courses and Champion Chip timing through Sportstats is available. “The event encourages runners from all ages to participate and all proceeds go to the CCA,” said Bourne. Prizes go to the top finishers and there will be a barbecue.. For more information, call the school at 613-283-5089.

Winter wren back in area this spring Strictly for the Birds LYNDA C. BENNETT
Outside town, Gerry Brown called to report a Common Loon on Mississippi Lake, April 13. Also outside town, three days earlier, Randy Marinelli noted an American Woodcock, and another loon by the Carleton Place Canoe Club. He has a Fox Sparrow visiting, and hears a Yellow-
bellied Sapsucker drilling in his woods. The famous songster of spring, the Winter Wren, is back on territory at his place. Ray Holland, Pakenham, has had both Field and Savannah Sparrow in his garden. Ray has seen a male Northern Harrier, and a Wilson’s Snipe. Moving down to Appleton, April 15, David Thomson sent pictures of Cedar Waxwings busy feeding nearby. They stayed for an hour, then flew off. Please call Lynda at 613-2565013 or email bennett@magma. ca with bird reports. R0012651280_0417
Lifestyle – Spring is definitely here. Eastern Phoebes have returned. April 9, three days after Georgina Doe spotted one in Carleton Place, Howard and Mary Robinson saw one in Mississippi Mills. Two days later, one visited our home. Howard reports a White-throated Sparrow, April 15, in their garden. Sandhill Cranes flew over Shaun McLaughlin’s property, April 9, and Shirley Deugo heard Cranes flying over her house in Cedar Hill three days later. Shaun heard a Red-shouldered Hawk calling. After it left, some Blue Jays did imitations of the call. East Almonte, Ray Sample has a pair of Northern Cardinals, many Red-winged Blackbirds, and lots of Dark-eyed Juncos. In Almonte, Bob Woods saw his first of the year Killdeer, April 11, flying over their back field. On Country Street, the Osprey has returned to the nest site at the baseball diamond, seen by Dave, April 12. Outside Almonte, Lil Mohr watched a male Eastern Bluebird checking the nest boxes, April 13. In Carleton Place, by the river, Mike Jaques reported a Great Egret, April 12. That morning Cliff and I went to find it, and met Georgina Doe there, too. What a great sight to see this large tall white bird. The egret stayed around, as Bill and Carole Flint watched it walk about their yard for half an hour. They sent me a photo, which accompanies the column.

The human face, cost of cancer
ditorial – It’s a club nobody wants to join. Losing a loved one to cancer, sadly, is becoming even more common, and not just because of our greying population. Better detection is going a long way towards helping arrest and even turn back the ravages of cancer, but, it also means that the number of people who know that they have it is growing too. Grandpa didn’t die of ‘old age,’ as we may have told ourselves decades ago, when people, like the normally tough John Wayne, refused to utter “the C word” but we now know he died of cancer. Today, one in three people will be touched by cancer. In the years to come, that number will jump to one in every two people. Look at the person sitting beside you now. One of the two of you will get cancer, statistically speaking.
There is a bigger discussion that can be had about addressing the causes of cancer instead of the symptom of cancer. But that is a topic for another day, and one that is cold comfort for those who are in the midst of battling the disease. This month, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Month, there are some voices who cut through the well-intentioned din of noise about cancer eradication, research, and prevention. One of those voices is from right here in our area, a teacher at the Catholic high school in Perth. Dominic Marando is used to speaking in front of his students, even sharing personal stories. But the story of losing his wife Maureen is one he is not comfortable sharing – in fact, it is one he wishes he would rather never have had to tell at all. After years of gentle prodding by orga-
nizers of the school’s Relay for Life committee, for the 2014 kick-off assembly, Marando decided that, now 10 years since his wife’s death, this was an opportune moment to open up his heart to the school. He joked that he was about to lose all of his “street cred,” but behind the humour, in an utterly silent high school gymnasium – Marando told the tale of his wife’s long journey with cancer, how it touched him, how he prayed for God to let her live and then, ultimately, how one morning, he found himself praying that he would let her die, and release her from her pain. There wasn’t a dry eye in the whole front row, and, we are sure, quite a few red eyes throughout the assembly as well. There are a lot of platitudes bandied around at this time of year. We believe in them, but we sort of gloss over them when we read them or hear them. Together we can defeat cancer. Be part of the crusade for the cure.
Who are you running or walking for? All very well and good, noble sentiments to be sure. But it is the names and faces and stories and hearts of the dearly departed that stare out at us from old photos that mean the most, that are the real driving force in the battle with cancer. The sudden whiff of a familiar perfume inexplicably drifting by on the breeze, a favourite song on the radio, even the way the sunset catches the summer haze on one particular evening, and we are right back there with them again. They are there in spirit, but while there is still time this April, let us do what we can to support the fight against cancer, to create more time, to make more memories, so that those sunsets and songs can be shared with the one we love, so that we too do not have to follow in brave Mr. Marando’s footsteps, in a lonely salute to a loved one in front of a big crowd.

Easter fun with everyone Opinion – Easter weekend is a time to celebrate a religious holiday, visit with family and friends and enjoy the spring weather. As I was working April 19-20 I didn’t get to spend much of Easter Sunday with my Carleton Place relatives; however, I did enjoy the occasion surrounded by other people’s families. It was a perfect Easter Sunday at Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush in Pakenham, with everyone making the most of the outdoors. The 160-year-old farm offered a plethora of fun activities: Easter egg hunt, maple syrup taffy pops and cotton candy, face painting, horse drawn rides and petting zoo, as well as access to the facility’s 120seat restaurant, gift shop and maple sugar camp (production facility). You will find some of the photographs I took in this week’s Canadian Gazette. Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush, situated on 400-acres, is run by Shirley Deugo, a fourth generation Fulton, and son Scott Deugo (fifth generation). It is a four-season destination, and definitely a place people should put on their to-visit list. It is aptly located at 399 Sugar Rd. Later in the day I covered Game 5 of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) finals. Once again, over a thousand fans were tightly packed
into the Carleton Place arena to watch the Canadians battle the Smiths Falls Bears, Tara Firma and the atmosphere was totally electrifying. Hockey fever unquestionably provides a common bond for small communities. Although both teams played extremely well the Canadians ultimately hoisted the Bogart Cup after a thrilling 2-1 victory in overtime. Vinny Post (#18) scored the goal. Enthusiastic fans spilled onto the ice to celebrate, with the song We Are the Champions by Queen playing loud throughout the arena. After a brief rest the team will next compete for the Fred Page Cup near Montreal, which begins Wednesday, April 30. Go, Canadians, go! It was after 6 p.m. by the time I made it to my in-laws house to enjoy a warmed up roast beef dinner. It was delicious, and my five-year-old nephew kept me company while I ate. He even entertained me with a couple of jokes. Why did the golfer bring an extra pair of trousers to the golf course? In case he got a hole in one. After a long day I was home and in bed – exhausted – by 9 p.m. If you have any comments or questions for Tara Gesner, she can be reached by email at: tgesner@ perfprint.ca.

DEAR EDITOR: Today (April 22) is Earth Day, following a glorious Easter weekend. While spring floods this year have caused problems for many, it also holds an opportunity for us each year when Beckwith clean-up days coincide with high water levels. Every year, our family cleans a two-kilometre stretch of the 9th Line, including the stretch of wetlands on either side of McGibbons Creek (an estuary of Mississippi Lake). When the water is high enough, we take our canoe and rakes and bags and haul garbage from the deep ditches and the water course itself. It is an endless task because some people continue to see the water as a cheap, convenient place to toss trash. This year in a few hours we hauled out more than 10 full large garbage bags of litter, half of it recyclables. We also pulled out an old propane tank, a car door and seat, two computer monitors and a bag of men’s shoes. There are of course a plethora of fast food containers, cans, water bottles, etc. Sadly, we have only made a small dent in what is there. I find it hard to imagine anyone is still unaware of how much we all rely on healthy wetlands to purify our environment, how dangerous these items are for fish and wildlife and how frustrated the rest of us feel when we see nature so disrespected. We just have to keep on talking about this, raising awareness and hoping that one by one the people who do this will change their behaviours. Until then, the rest of us need to keep on pitching in, to try to restore the damage done.

I was wondering if there was a way to get this message across on social media (specifically Facebook)? I can guarantee that many people feel the same way and that this message can get across.

day in May â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world hand out comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, our event is unique to Carleton Place,â&#x20AC;? McOrmond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the only community going the business-to-business route.â&#x20AC;? She called it a fun family event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the young and young at heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Participants return stamped mission cards to either Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Shop or Tania and Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dance Studio to enter a draw for prizes,â&#x20AC;? McOrmond said. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, Korny Klowns Entertainment, well known
throughout the local community, will be at Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Shop offering free superhero face painting and balloon sculpturing. Area buskers are also invited to come downtown, set up and perform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just let us know first,â&#x20AC;? McOrmond said. Although organizers are hoping for good weather, Free Comic Book Day runs rain or shine. Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Shop is located at 135 Bridge St. and Tania and Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dance Studio is situated at 55 Lansdowne Ave (former LCBO location).

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dress up as your favourite superhero or better yet, invent one, and bring your super power to downtown Carleton Place on Saturday, May 4 for Free Comic Book Day. The local Business Improvement Association (BIA) hosts the popular event, now in its fourth year, in partnership with Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Shop and Tania and Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dance Studio. Festivities run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hundreds of people will attend Free Comic Book Day, which begins at Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Shop or Tania and Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dance Studio but then extends across
the BIA district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Participants obtain their mission card at either of these locations,â&#x20AC;? BIA project manager Cathie McOrmond said. Sixteen businesses are handing out comic books this year, and thousands (multiple titles) were ordered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Participants travel from business to business to have their mission card stamped and collect a free comic book (while quantities last),â&#x20AC;? McOrmond explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great way to bring people downtown to see what we have to offer,â&#x20AC;? she continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and hopefully, they return and shop locally.â&#x20AC;? Free Comic Book Day is a single day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; always the first Satur-

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A person over the age of 65 is likely to be targeted by a con artist, true or false? The answer is true. This coming Tuesday, April 29, the Carleton Place Seniors Forum presents its third event at Carambeck Community Centre, entitled Seniors Take Charge. The free gathering, which runs from 10 a.m. to noon, includes a meet and greet with Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment commander Derek Needham and
Carleton Place community sergeant Rob Croth, important information to protect against fraud, a question and answer session and lunch. Seniors are over and over again targeted for many reasons: they live alone, have more disposable income and are generally more trusting, to name a few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recently there was a news story about a 94-year-old lady in Toronto who was bilked of all her life savings by a couple,â&#x20AC;? said Carleton Place Coun. Doug Black, who is also a member of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Police Services Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very sad!â&#x20AC;?
He noted the OPP was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very eager to undertake this and other community-oriented sessions,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;we, the Police Services Board, are equally promoting community engagement from the OPP.â&#x20AC;? Lanark County and Carleton Place community services officer Sean Trahan outlined a brief overview of next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation, which is sponsored by the Canadian Antifraud Call Centre, in conjunction with the OPP Crime Prevention Section. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to reduce the number of seniors who are affected by consumer fraud and fall victim to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;financial vio-
lenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. Scams may be received by mail, telephone, fax, Internet, newspaper, magazines, doorto-door or any other method of communication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The presentation focuses on telemarketing, door-todoor and Internet fraud,â&#x20AC;? Trahan noted. An OPP produced video will complement the material that speaks about different types of scams. For additional information or to register for Seniors Take Charge, contact community programmer Jessica Smith at 613-257-1704 or jsmith@carletonplace.ca.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Wednesday, April 16, at the monthly Mississippi Mills Chamber of Commerce meeting, dozens of local residents and business owners turned out to discuss Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown development and parking. Held at the Barley Mow restaurant, the April Chamber meeting covered the topics of Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current downtown parking issues and also the upcoming construc-

Community – With help from the Almonte Horticultural Society, students in Grades 3 and 4 at Naismith Memorial Public School found their green-thumbs when they learned to plant seeds on Wednesday, April 16. Later on, when the weather gets a little warmer, the students will be able to plant their seedlings outside on the school grounds. Top, Grade 3 students Madelyn Guthrie, 9, Bryn Swrjeski, 8, and Mackenzie Baldwin, 8, pose for the camera after planting their first seeds.

Advances in point-of-care program enhance patient safety
required. The ability of the new glucose meter to archive previous results has also increased significantly, from 480 to 5,000 results. Patient safety drives everything we do. All users of the Accu-Chek Inform II meters must participate in Cobas Academy, an online training program, and must demonstrate their ability to perform testing successfully before they can use the meter for patient testing. Training and competency of each user is tracked electronically and is validated upon annual recertification. The Accu-Chek Inform II meter requires health care providers to enter their personalized ID code prior to each use, along with a patient specific ID, allowing for
an audit trail of all testing performed on the meter. This process helps to protect patients and ensures that our point-of-care testing program meets national standards. The meters are also configured to require the users to perform quality control testing at least once every 24 hours, prior to proceeding with patient testing. Previously, RNs and RPNs were required to manually document quality control and patient test results in a log kept with each meter on the units. With the new glucometer, control results and patient test results are transmitted through the Hospital’s wireless network to the Cobas IT program, which is maintained in the laboratory. This electronic transmission decreases the probability of transcription errors, and will eventually allow for results to be transmitted directly into a patient’s electronic medical record (EMR). Kristina Groulx is the Charge Technologist in the AGH Laboratory. National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week is April 20-26. We thank Kris and her colleagues for their important contributions as members of AGH’s care team. R0012661145/0424
By Kristina Groulx Almonte General Hospital (AGH) provides an environment that encourages staff members to continuously look for ways to improve our patient care process. By assessing and implementing new and improved technology and instrumentation, we are better able to meet the needs of our patients. One such improvement has been achieved with the recent implementation of Roche Accu- Chek Inform II glucometers, which went into active use across AGH on April 2, 2014. The new glucometers are just one part of the pointof-care programs run at the Hospital that allow for testing to be done at the patient’s bedside. This gives the Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) quick and accurate test results, ultimately allowing for more timely management and treatment of our patients. The newly introduced glucometers require only 0.6 microlitres of blood, obtained from a finger pick, compared to the previous technology which required 4.0 microlitre. They provide a result in only five seconds, instead of the 26 seconds that was previously

MIXER their employees needed to park near their businesses. Unfortunately, he also said that a solution has not yet been found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working on coming up with ideas to solve the parking problem here in the downtown,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but so far we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a concrete solution.â&#x20AC;? Stirling did say that the town is currently working on acquiring a new piece of land that could be used as parking in the downtown area, but he could say no more than that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to do is not so much increase the number of available spots, but to work on creating more convenient locations for people to park,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we have seen is that people are wanting to park on Mill Street itself.â&#x20AC;? After Stirling asked if there were any questions, discussion broke out about the time limits imposed in several of the parking lots downtown. Many of the downtown lots have three or four hour parking restrictions on them, in an attempt to deter business owners from occupying a valuable parking spot for a full eight-hour day. However, many of the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendants expressed a concern for the practise of issuing tickets to tourists who have spent more than four hours visiting the town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagine spending a lovely day shopping in Almonte, having a nice meal, and then getting back to your car to discover youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got-
Downtown development In 2015, it is very likely that the downtown core of Almonte will be undergoing major construction. Dunlop began his short presentation on the future upgrading of the downtown coreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure by explaining why the massive overhaul is needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most, if not all, of the infrastructure in the downtown core is operating past its useful life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to be replaced sooner rather than later.â&#x20AC;? What this means is that, in 2015, Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown area will be ripped up in order to replace water mains, sewer lines and anything else buried underground that needs upgrading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, the downtown needs an organ transplant,â&#x20AC;? he said, a fit-
While digging up the streets of the downtown core might not be ideal for business, Dunlop said, it presents a great opportunity for progress as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives us a chance to redesign and make better the downtown area,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can plan for things like better parking when we put everything back together.â&#x20AC;? Over the next several months, the town will be planning for the upgrades needed in the downtown area, and will be working with the community to develop a plan for the area when the project is finished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Planning is the best thing we can be doing for this,â&#x20AC;? Dunlop said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With proper planning we will get the best investment we can out of this project.â&#x20AC;?

Two Mississippi Mils staff members, Troy Dunlop, director of roads and public works, left, and Steve Stirling, planner, right, spoke at the April Chamber of Commerce meeting to discuss Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown parking and development issues. ten a parking ticket,â&#x20AC;? one resident said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is going to leave a negative impression of the experience, which was otherwise quite enjoyable.â&#x20AC;? To this, Stirling responded that while the practice of issuing parking tickets was implemented with good intentions, the town might be able to look into removing the time restrictions on parking in the downtown. Additionally, the issue of business owner parking was discussed. While many of the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participants seemed to understand that parking downtown should be a priority for visitors, sometimes it is just unfeasible to park further away from their businesses. At one time, the idea of issuing parking passes to downtown employees and business owners was discussed, but Stirling was quick to point out that that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve

ting metaphor for the surgery the area is soon to undergo. The purpose of the April 16 meeting, Dunlop said, was to begin what he said he hopes will be a very involved conversation with business owners and locals for the duration of the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to take around 15 to 18 months of major planning before any construction even begins,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we want business owners and everyone else to be very informed and involved.â&#x20AC;? Since the overhaul of the infrastructure downtown will be such an invasive process, the Town of Mississippi Mills wants to work with local business owners, especially those in the affected areas, to ensure that no business is lost.

called the Bogart-Nielsen Cup) to team captain Elias Ghantous. A beaming head coach and team owner Jason Clarke looked on. Special moment “What a feeling,” an elated Clarke said. “It is just so unbelievable to be able to share this (victory) with all of our fans, supporters and sponsors; a very special moment.” “This was so hard to do. We worked so hard (in the series),” he added. Clarke is fast to credit Smiths Falls and especially goaltender Pinios for their efforts. “They were very good. He (Pinios) was excellent. I wondered if we were ever going to score on him,” he said. “How fitting that our top forward (Sturtz) and our top defenceman (Summers) were involved in the tying goal. We dominated the overtime,” Clarke added. The cheering and yelling inside the arena was still going on half an hour after Post netted the game winner. Among the capacity crowd was Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc. “This is really wonderful,” she said. “I’ve never seen anything so exciting.” “Jason and his coaching team have done a fabulous job and the players have put Carleton Place on the sports map,” the mayor enthused. “Not many teams have
had such a meteoric rise.” LeBlanc was referring to the fact that this is just the fifth season for Carleton Place in the more than 50-year-old CCHL. Canadians joined the league in 2009, becoming the 12th and newest entry in the Ottawa and eastern Ontario based loop. The mayor didn’t mention it at the time but Canadians’ victory allowed her to win her friendly bet with the Town of Smiths Falls. At a recent Lanark County council meeting LeBlanc challenged Smiths Falls’ councillor Ken Graham (in the absence of mayor Dennis Staples). As a result of Canadians’ series victory Smiths Falls will fly the Carleton Place flag for one full day outside of their town hall. League commissioner Abrams called the win “an exciting end to a special season by the Canadians.” “Congratulations to Jason Clarke and his staff for assembling an excellent squad. I think dealing with the challenges in the second round, falling behind 2-0 (to Pembroke) and again 3-2 in games, really helped his team mentally,” Abrams said. Canadians swept Kemptville 73’s in the quarterfinals but needed the full seven games to get past perennial champions Pembroke Lumber Kings in the semi-finals. “I am looking forward to them (Canadians) representing the CCHL at the Fred Page Cup in Saint-Jérôme (Quebec) and

The Bears were second overall during the regular season but they finished a full 24 points behind the streaking Canadians who broke or tied every league record for winning this season. Carleton Place rang up 110 points in 62 regular season contests and they also set new marks for wins and home ice victories while tying Pembroke’s 2009-10 mark for most road wins. They also established a new CCHL standard for most consecutive home ice triumphs in a season, reeling off 18
straight at the community centre. The team won seven of the 11 league awards announced at the end of the campaign. Sturtz was the top scorer with 104 points in 58 appearances including a CCHL best 51 goals. The Buffalo, New York native was also named the league’s Most Valuable Player. Summers was named the Top Prospect. Clarke took home both coach and manager of the year honours. Trophy so important But Clarke, who also coached the former Carleton Place Legion Kings (now Almonte Thunder) to back-to-back Valley Division Junior B championships in 2008 and 2009, says all of the Canadians’ success this season would have meant little if they hadn’t won the playoff title. “That was our goal and we achieved it. I am absolutely delighted,” Clarke said. Carleton Place now has the opportunity for more playoff glory. By winning the CCHL title Canadians advance to next week’s Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian championship tournament. This year’s event is being played in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec a suburb of Montreal April 30-May 4. The four-team event also involves the host team along with the Quebec and Maritime Junior A champions. Carleton Place opens the competition next Wednesday (April 30) when they take on the host Saint-Jérôme Panthers at 7:30 p.m. (Watch the Canadian-Gazette EMC for full coverage of Carleton Place Canadians at the Fred Page Cup).

My son has been told he has ‘growing pains’ because he has sore legs at night, what can we do?
Both of these problems can be extremely uncomfortable for people and affect not only the person suffering with the pain but usually an entire household. These problems affect sleep quality therefore decrease a person’s potential during the day, at work, at school and at play. Some research reveals that Growing Pains and RLS have shown to be related to: Magnesium insufficiency Spinal misalignment Excess lactic acid build up in the muscles Prolonged stress Compromised neurology In general, the health professionals guide indicates that medication should only be considered if non-pharmacological methods
have failed. Most recently, the treatment of choice has been chiropractic care combined with an increase in activity through exercise to help both children and adults. Clinically, we see dramatic improvement with leg pain and discomfort in all age groups through caring for the person’s spine and nervous system. We opt for very specific home exercises, a thorough chiropractic care program and proper nutritional counseling to help alleviate and eradicate this problem for our patients. My recommendation would be to contact our office through email or telephone and we can help you find a chiropractor in your area and answer any questions you may have.

There will also be a question and answer period at the end. This workshop is for caregivers, front line staff, families, friends, neighbours or

Community – Traditionally, Mills Community Support has provided support services to frail, elderly seniors in our community. We continue to do so by providing Meals on Wheels, transportation, congregate dining programs, nature walks, foot care clinics, to name a few of the services and supports available. We are now looking into new programs for the health and well being of our “younger seniors” in Mississippi Mills in an attempt to get people healthy and active, not only physically but mentally as well. Tai Chi is a new program that we are offering and the first 12-week session saw some 25 participants take part in the program. A second 12-week session starts on April 24 and runs until July 10. This program is held at the Almonte and District Community Centre (upstairs) every Thursday evening from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at a cost of $100, payable in advance for the 12 weeks. We are offering a Healthy Brains Stay Sharp program being presented by Fit Minds which showcases different ways to keep our brains healthy and functioning properly. Our first six-week session saw 15 participants enjoying some social time along with brain exercises and we are now offering another six-week session – every Wednesday starting April 16 from 11 a.m. to noon at 67 Industrial Drive, and every Thursday starting April 17 from 11 a.m. to noon at 375 Country Street Apartments. The cost for this six-week program is $25 per person, payable in advance. How would you feel if you had a loved one, neighbour, friend, or co-worker who was in need of CPR or First Aid and you were not able to assist because you were not trained to perform CPR. So many times we see on the news that someone’s life has been saved by having access to an AED (automated external defibrillator) machine in a public space and there being someone nearby who has had the training to perform and use an AED machine. The Mills is now offering standard CPR/First Aid/AED training with a class on June 14 and 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in our board room at 67 Industrial Drive in Almonte. This is a two-day certification course and you must attend both days in order to receive your certificate. The cost

Carleton Place to receive $27,500 grant from province tgesner@perfprint.ca
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carleton Place will receive $27,500 from the provincial government to aid in the growth of its north industrial park, which is almost at full capacity. The grant, by way of the rural economic development (RED) program of the Ministry of Rural Affairs, will help fund the development of engineering plans to expand Bates Avenue, which is located near the north industrial park.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very pleased the town was successful in obtaining the RED grant to assist us with the expansion of the north industrial park,â&#x20AC;? economic development coordinator Jasmin Ralph said. The goal is to attract more high-tech companies. Ralph explained the project would open up valuable industrial land for incoming or expanding businesses, as well as provide space for the municipal public works yard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project is part of our long-term
economic development plan,â&#x20AC;? she said. The province is providing $125,826 by way of the rural economic development program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To help grow and diversify rural Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, we must continue to provide local communities with business-friendly tools, resources and supports,â&#x20AC;? Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal said in a media release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the rural economic development program, these rural communities will be better positioned to attract investment,
create jobs and grow their economies.â&#x20AC;? There are three industrial/business parks in Carleton Place: north industrial park, south business park and Hooper Street business park. The largest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the north industrial park â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x153;supports over 500 jobs in the construction, high tech and other industries,â&#x20AC;? according to a media release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The north industrial park currently has a large, approximately 17 acre area in the north west corner that is inaccessible by roads and servicing,â&#x20AC;? it stated.

TIPS AND ADVICE FROM OUR LOCAL EXPERTS! Finally the winter is over!
Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get to work in the building industry. We are already 4 to 6 weeks later than usual staring this year. Because of that and the very wet conditions that just means that we have a lot less time to do the same amount of work this year. I have mentioned several times the importance of planning, well this year is a very good example of why. he shortened season everything is behind schedule already. That means crews, trades, suppliers and manufactures are going to be swamped, some will even be forced to turn work away this year. So if you are planning on a project this year from renovation, additions, a new build or an outdoor project. You best book your trades people now and secure your supply of required products so they can commit to you now. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to the last moment and hope you can get your choice of contractors and product on time. You could well be disappointed. The good tradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people will be gone ďŹ rst. To be able to get someone later, on the spur of the moment might be at a limited choice and at a premium. When your contractors get to your project they will not have any time to wait. If what they need to do their work is not on site, correct or on time they might be forced to leave, in order to keep their commitments. If you need to get something custom made or a special order, such as windows, roof trusses, ďŹ&#x201A;ooring or plumbing ďŹ xtures, get them ordered now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to materials waiting on your project then your project waiting on them. The lead time on some of these products can go from a few days or weeks, to 6 to 8 weeks over night. Start your plan now for everyone to show up on schedule, from the foundation crew, followed by the framers, electricians, plumbers, insulators, drywallers, and the ďŹ nishing trades. Keep each one informed of the progress of the project, so any adjustments can be made in scheduling. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget good trades are very busy and need to juggle several jobs and commitments trying their best to keep everybody happy. Book now, book early even if your project is months away. That time will come up hard and fast. emember the three most important aspect of any project. PLANNING, PLANNING AND MORE PLANNING. You will ďŹ nd all good trades and suppliers very accommodating: HOWEVER Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on theirs.

Comparison is the Thief of Joy!
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comparison is the thief of joyâ&#x20AC;?. Theodore Roosevelt wisely observed this. With spring (hopefully) in the ofďŹ ng, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolve to STOP constantly comparing ourselves to others (especially before swim suit season arrives)! It is a useless, unhealthy habit, as there will always be those who will appear better off than ourselves and those who will appear less well off than us. We also know how deceiving appearances can be, so what are we actually
ÂŤ Janice Crowe Director
comparing ourselves to? Usually, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some faked advertizing image designed to encourage us to feel inadequate unless we buy whatever is being sold. Some people believe that comparison will motivate and inspire, but if the standard is unrealistic or inaccurate, the comparison will be invalid and even dangerous. Besides, the supposedly â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;accepted standardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; against which we are supposed to measure ourselves constantly changes, making achieving it only transitory at best. Take a cue from nature; let your individuality blossom with the spring rebirth! The daisy is as beautiful and essential to the ecosystem, as the rose. We gain nothing by comparing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;apples and orangesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We are each unique, with different strengths and weaknesses. Comparison merely creates, either a false sense of superiority, or a false sense of inferiority! Embrace the unique, special, irreplaceable YOU, who never existed before and never will again! Enjoy the contentment, peace and self-conďŹ dence found when you stop comparing yourself to irrelevant standards, and just be the unique, special person you are.

Select the Right Life Insurance
When shopping for life insurance, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face several important decisions. One of the most basic may be whether to purchase term life or whole life coverage. Understanding the beneďŹ ts and risks of each will help you determine which policy best meets your current and future ďŹ nancial needs.

Kids and Houseplants
Its always a pleasant surprise to see how well children take to houseplants. With the simplest of instructions kids can be taught to care for their own houseplant in their bedroom. Choose a carefree but fun plant like a spider plant or maybe a cactus. It does not need to be large. Place the plant in a bright windowsill in the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room and put a small watering can or even plastic cup of water beside it. Gentle reminders to add a few drops of water to their plants each night at bedtime is all that you need to add. In this simple way you can introduce your child to a lifetime hobby. As the plant grows and they assume ownership and exhibit pride, many beneďŹ ts and much enjoyment will follow. Try it out at your house. You will be amazed.

Chiropractic Care & Add/Adhd
So, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treat ADD or ADHD. However, as a neurological disorder, and chiropractic care reduces nervous system disturbances, many children suffering with ADD or ADHD experience relief from inattention,

distractibility, impulse control, restlessness, and difďŹ culty concentrating with chiropractic care. Yes it is smart to remove food colouring, preservatives and additives from their diet. Yes it is smart to remove dairy, gluten and wheat, or any other allergen from their diet. Yes it is smart to remove sugars ( that includes pastas, cereals, crackers!) and artiďŹ cial sweetners from their diet. Yes it is important to remove chemical toxins from their environment. BUT these are all wise choices you should be making whether or not these are associated with your child having ADD or ADHD. So you remove all of this from your childs lifestyle, then what? The most obvious check up I feel is necessary, a check up by a chiropractor to determine if there is interference or disturbances within their nervous system. We often ďŹ nd problems in the upper neck in these children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which could have occurred during birth process, or from a fall or injury. The fact is that there is a link between the spineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alignment, brain stem dysfunction and ADHD. A thorough assessment will reveal any distortion that is leading to this poor child being unable to self regulate, calm down and sit still! Parents are often surprised just how awesome their child is once irritation on the nervous system is removed. As parents we all want whats best for our children. If your child has been told they have ADD or ADHD, get them checked by a chiropractor and help their body restore itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health naturally - and set your child up to succeed and to truly be all that they were created to be!

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Monday, May 5, the Arklan Community Public School primary/junior choir will be joining hundreds of thousands of children across Canada and around the world singing the Music Monday song, Is Somebody Singing, which was co-written by Commander Chris Hadfield and Ed Robertson of The Barenaked Ladies, and first commissioned by The Coalition for Music and CBC Music for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthto-orbit Music Monday event. Commander Hadfield will again be joining these coordinated music events this year, but this time will have his feet squarely planted on Earth. Music Monday is an annual coordinated event that brings together thousands of students, musicians, parents and community members across Canada to show how important music education is in the lives of our young people and to show the fun they have in making music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music belongs in our schoolsâ&#x20AC;ŚLearning music enhances student development in so many ways. Research supports the link between learning music and student successâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? said Holly Nimmons, executive director of The Coalition for Music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every music program that is cut or eroded anywhere in Canada will have far-reaching implications for our schools, our communities and our nation. Cuts to music programs are a loss for our children and the next generation.â&#x20AC;? The community is invited to join the students of Arklan Community Public School in joyfully celebrating music education at the tenth anniversary of this
Music Monday event. Opening remarks will begin at 12:40 p.m. on Monday, May 5 in the Arklan school gym, followed by the choir performance of the Music Monday theme song, Is Somebody Singing. Following this, more musical entertainment will be provided by the choir, and vocal and instrumental mu-

MPP’s bill to see business on escarpment By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Local MPP Jack MacLaren’s bill related to the Niagara escarpment made it through seconding reading last week. Tabled April 10, the Bob Mackie Act would allow an exception be made to the Niagara Escarpment Commission’s rules to allow for an archery business. Bob Mackie, a friend of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP, died of a heart attack on Feb. 8 after a lengthy legal battle to keep his business open. “He’s a brave man who stood up for principle and died as a result,” MacLaren said. “It bled him dry, financially, and he was in court until the day he died.” An ecologically-sensitive area, the Niagara Escarpment is a refugee against most private
businesses. However, MacLaren insists the target-shooting business safely backed onto the escarpment (not a neighbour’s), was quiet, provided a valued service and contributed to the tax pool. “He was not hurting anybody and everyone enjoyed having his business,” said MacLaren, who became friends with Mackie while both held highprofile positions in the Ontario Landowners Association. He admits Mackie was in the wrong when it came to a building on his property, but opposed the commission when it passed an order prohibiting archery after a neighbour complained. Although Mackie’s property, near Beamsville, is zoned agriculture and not commercial, MacLaren’s bill would allow for this one exception to the escarpment’s planning and devel-
opment act. “It’s a tribute to a poor man who died fighting many years for what he felt was right,” MacLaren said. “He represents people all over the province suffering from (government intervention). I’d be happy if any small person called me for help.” Once per year backbench MPPs are allowed to table a private member’s bill. They usually fail to pass, but give the MPP a chance to voice their opinion in the legislature on a pet issue. The Bob Mackie Act could reach third reading, but a spring election is expected; that would kill all bills. MacLaren said the act would not affect the Carp Escarpment. He was unaware of the Huntley Highlands group attempting to bring rules to the Carp ridge area.

Greco’s Fat Loss
One of the best ways to spring cleanse is to add whole food smoothies to your day. We all know that it is important to get your 8-10 servings a day of veggies and fruits but with a busy life how do you fit it all in? Our solution…. WHOLE FOOD SMOOTHIES! Simply blend away and voila, you can easily get your daily target!
A recent study done by The International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism tested the degree that the metabolism was elevated after exercise with a group of individuals that didn’t eat breakfast and a group that did. They tested how many calories were burned, 12 and 24 hours after the aerobic workout. The results showed that the amount the metabolism was elevated after the workout was much greater both 12 and 24 hours after for the group that did eat breakfast. As well, the group that ate breakfast resulted in much more fat being used for energy rather than carbohydrates. To sum it up, pre-workout breakfast has a long-term value for fat loss. By eating breakfast, more fat will be burned during the work, and the metabolism will be elevated to a much greater degree up to 24 hours post workout.

Land trust conservancy finalizes agreement for Keddy Nature Sanctuary Community – In late January, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) finalized its newest conservation easement agreement with Paul and Cathy Keddy on their beautiful 530-acre property located in the northeastern corner of Drummond-North Elmsley Township. The Keddys, both professional ecologists, first discovered this spectacular property back in the ‘70s, long before the area was designated a Provincially Significant Wetland Complex. Here follows Cathy’s account about their decision to legally protect their property forever. “One of the first decisions we made when preparing for marriage back in 1976, when we were still students at Dalhousie University in Halifax, was to buy our first 100 acres of forest in Lanark County. Many thought we were foolish. But we had walked that property and seen 30 pairs of Great Blue Herons nesting in a wetland. How better to celebrate a marriage than to protect these magnificent creatures. Over the years we camped and eventually built a small cabin where we spent many happy weekends. As we got to know the property better, we found a stream that flowed to the east, and a patch of wild orchids in a seepage area. We owned neither. But over time, these properties came on the market, and we added them to our debt load. Twice we could buy a property only after it had been logged. This was painful, but we knew that whatever the short term damage, the trees would eventually regrow and wildlife habitat would recover. The last property was the toughest, and we were able to buy it only after the landowner had quite deliberately increased the price and sold the logging rights, just to be spiteful. The skidders were already felling huge beech trees as we signed the mortgage papers. Paul’s parents very generously contributed $20,000 so we could buy out the logging company before it felled the 30

At this point we were the proud owners of a square mile. Now there is a commitment. Not only were we responsible for protecting the forest, and for making our monthly payments, but at home we had two growing children, while on the land we had populations of salamanders and frogs and warblers and
turkey vultures. What a family! When Paul became ill in the early ‘90s, finances were stretched to the limit. Eventually, our family moved to Louisiana for eight years where Paul earned enough money to pay off the accumulated debts. Now it was all ours! But there would be little point in protecting 120-year-old oaks or populations of wild orchids if the next
owner would simply log them or create estate lots. We were determined to pass it on intact. The Nature Conservancy of Canada was interested, but by the time we returned from Louisiana there was a new local land conservancy on the scene, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. We were delighted that they agreed to become partners, and take over from us in the

long run. And 999 years, renewable, is indeed a long-term arrangement! Each of us will die. We know that when that happens to us, all the wild creatures we have known over the past 50 years will be safe from developers and loggers. They will carry on their lives without us. The 120-year-old oaks and hemlocks will live several more centuries, and then, when they die, become homes for owls and hawks and tree frogs. Yes, we could have sold the land, and burned through the money on expensive cars and luxury cruises. But, we would have been no happier. And, as they say, you can’t take it with you. What about our sons and the issue of inheritance? The boys are thrilled that a property with so many happy memories will stay just the way they remember it. Moreover, the easement agreement we signed leaves each of them the option to someday live on the edge of the property and enjoy it with their own families. And the salamanders and frogs and warblers and turtles and all the rest of the innumerable inhabitants, while they may not speak our language or understand land trusts, will be left alone to carry on their lives in relative peace. We cannot think of a more satisfying conclusion to our lifetime project.” The MMLTC is delighted with the choice the Keddys made and knows it will have untold benefits for generations to come. Paul and Cathy have already compiled an initial inventory of species on their property, including several species at risk. To add to this list, the Lanark County Stewardship Council will be hosting a 24-hour Bioblitz at the Keddy Nature Sanctuary on Friday, June 6 to Saturday, June 7. Species experts from area naturalist clubs will be invited to assist with this event. Watch for more information coming soon on the MMLTC website at www.mmltc.ca.

It also had power steering and power brakes. “I fell in love with the car and I promised him I would keep it in my newly constructed double garage and only drive it for occasional pleasure use. Maurice was willing to sell it to me but his wife was not. I telephoned them several times over the next three years but she would not give her consent. “Finally, in the summer of 1976, I asked if I could come over and talk to them about the car. I offered them $1,000 more than what the car was worth and she said it would have to be cash. I hustled to the bank, brought a handful of hundred dollar bills back to their house, and laid them out across the kitchen table. She counted the money several times, looked at Maurice, and told him to sell me the car! “I owned that car for thirty-one

Lifestyle – Ken Tuffnail lives just outside Stratford, Ontario: “Hi Bill: In 1973 I was looking for an old second car in good shape for my wife to drive back and forth to town. I asked my father if he knew of any. He mentioned his neighbour up the street, Maurice H., who had an old car in his garage. “One Saturday in the summer of 1973, I approached Maurice, who remembered me as a kid, and I asked about his car. I told him I was looking for an older car for my wife, and although he was willing to sell it to me, he would not sell it to me as just an everyday vehicle. “He asked if I would like to see the car. He opened the garage door and staring at me was the rear end of a huge red car. I said to him: ‘What is it?’ He said it is a 1955 CHRYSLER WINDSOR DELUXE NEWPORT SPECIAL CLUB COUPE. The car was in pristine original condition inside and out with 41,000 miles. For that year, it had a new body, new 301 Spitfire 188 HP engine, and completely new styling.

Passionate dance promoter provides lessons at Swing into Spring Arts – To hear Tania Munro speak about the art of dance is to seriously believe that anyone –regardless of lack of rhythm, or the annoying problem of having two left feet – can learn to happily twirl about the dance floor when the music begins. It’s a passion that will be on display Saturday, May 3 at 7 p.m. sharp at the Perth Civitan Club when Munro offers free dance lessons in advance of that evening’s big band extravaganza with the renowned Standing Room Only Big Band. Munro – who this year marks ten years for her Carleton Place-based Tania’s Dance Studio, recently renamed Tania and Rick’s Dance Studio – has loved the art of movement since she was a little girl in El Salvador, where Latin and salsa rhythms were everywhere. Her family came to Canada in 1988, where she began taking dance lessons in Ottawa and eventually ended up teaching
there as well. She subsequently moved out to Lanark County, operating out of her home before eventually taking over the old LCBO building at 55 Lansdowne Avenue in Carleton Place, where they have been for three years. Munro says her students range in age from eight to 76, and vary from individuals wanting to make sure their dancing feet are ready for a wedding day, to those looking for fun ways to stay active without necessarily having to go to a gym. “There’s a real social aspect to it, and lots of couples meet each other at the studio and become friends, going out together and attending different dance events in the area,” she says. “It’s really rewarding to do this work because many people come in to try something new and different and as they learn, you can see their self-esteem go up, and they carry themselves with

more pride and confidence,” she says. “It’s also very humbling for me because I get to meet so many great people and hear their stories when we are doing the dance lessons. We get to be able to say that our work is part of what makes people’s lives better and happier, and who can ask for more than that?” When she first moved to Carleton Place, Munro says she sometimes ran into an attitude that frowned on dance as inappropriate for the stereotypical “manly men,” yet as word about her work got around, she saw, bit by bit, men who fit that profile begin showing up. “They learned that dancing was not just for women and that men who can dance are quite popular with the ladies!” Munro laughs. “Sometimes you see a fiancé or wife bringing their husbands in kicking and screaming, but before they know it, they are having fun.” Munro is looking forward to the May
3 Swing into Spring event. “Standing Room Only always creates such a buzz when they perform,” she says. “You could always have a DJ or a CD of swing music, but it is very different when the musicians are there playing their instruments and they connect with the dancers. It’s like their energy feeds off each other and builds throughout the night.” Although Munro has no specific plans for a 2014 10th anniversary party as yet, Tania and Rick’s Dance Studio is holding a grand opening to celebrate the new partnership with Rick Ruggles on Saturday, May 24. Doors for Swing into Spring will open at 6:30 p.m., with the free dance lesson at 7 p.m. and big band swing music until 11 p.m. It’s all part of the official kickoff to the Classic Theatre Festival’s fifth anniversary season. Tickets to Swing into Spring are available by calling 613485-6434 or online at classictheatre.ca.

Honda ready to compete with other players in minivan field with Odyssey Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough job, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2014 Honda Odyssey I enjoyed for this review came from the Honda Canada press fleet. For the first time since I started writing these reviews, a car manufacturer actually supplied a demonstrator that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fully loaded model. As minivan buyers are a pretty priceminded group, Honda supplied the SE level trim version (one up from the entry level) of their Odyssey to demonstrate that they can compete on price point as well as a number of other important areas in this segment. The Odyssey starts at $31,819 for the LX level and takes the price tour up to $46,879 for a well-trimmed Touring model. My eight passenger SE came in at $30,874; yes actually cheaper than the base LX level, proving Honda is ready to compete with the other players in this field. All prices are before destina-

tion fees, dealer prep, taxes, or current incentives. Like all Odysseys, my SE tester came with a 3.5 L V6 (putting out 248 hp) mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This power-train combo has a long and successful history with Honda and moves the 2,000 kg transport with ease. It comes with everything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect plus dual-zone HVAC, second row power windows, remote entry, seven-speaker audio with Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity with text messaging, rearview camera, fold-in-floor third row seating, and eight passenger capacity just to hit the highlights. Unlike most minivans, the Odyssey provides serious storage (846 L) behind the third seats, meaning the family and their luggage can get to their destination at the same time. The first thing you notice when getting in the Odyssey is a low exterior door handle (about the average personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belt line making it easy to grab when your hands and/or arms are full) and the easy step in height.

Even with empty seats (either up or stored down) there was very little body noise and absolutely no rattles. On rough and twisty spring frost-heaved
roads, the ride was smooth, and tight and surprisingly un-minivan-like. Controls and handles are well laid out and the only complaint I had in this area was related to smallish HVAC controls mounted high up on the centre stack. Forward and side

The Odyssey is rated at 10.9 L/100 km city and 7.1 L/100 k highway (25.9 mpg and 39.8 mpg respectively). The US ratings are 22.8 mpg city and 33.6 mpg highway (converted to imperial gallons). Using the Canadian ratings the Odysseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 79.5 L fuel tank should deliver a mixed driving range of around 800 km and cost about $95 to fill at $1.27/L. The P235/65R17 tires my tester (and every level of Odyssey except Touring) was equipped with, are available in a very large range of makes and models for around $150-$250 each. The Odyssey is rated to tow 1588 kg (3494 lb.). While the Odyssey SEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price tag might be higher than certain competitors, it delivers enough added value to justify the price and most used vehicle valuation companies peg it at holding its value better than anything else. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for a family hauler thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned its marks, then check out the Honda Odyssey. Yours in service, Brian Turner

Science fiction film fails to deliver despite strong performances radical procedure to upload Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consciousness into a computer. RIFT gets wind of what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and tries to stop them without success. Will gains access to the internet, and from there expands and evolves. There seems to be no limit to what Will can accomplish. He begins making quantum leaps in technological advancement. Will begins to make plans to change the whole world, but is it really Will or is it something else, and what will this change really mean for humanity? Transcendence is a fascinating piece of science fiction. I love the way it questions the very nature of consciousness, and what makes us human. It would make a great read, but as a movie it is boring. It moves painfully slow as it attempts to hammer home the morality of what Will is doing, and fails to engage the audience. This failure is due to two main flaws in the film. The first is a failure to properly develop the love story between Will and Evelyn. I needed more between
them to believe she would be willing to go to any lengths to save him, and he to save her. The second flaw is the lack of development of Paul Bettanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character Max Waters. Max is the hero of the story. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the person who bridges the gap between scienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for good and for harm, yet this idea
While the story kind of loses the audience the cast is still very good. Johnny Depp is an incredible character actor who makes full use of his talents here.

Author of Tax is Not a Four-Letter Word says paying taxes is a good thing derek.dunn@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Next to weather, Canadians love to commiserate over taxes; especially when incometax filing season is at hand. Not so much Alex Himelfarb. He wants to change the way Canadians view paying taxes. From the H&R Block commercials bemoaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tax painâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the backside to the dominant narrative that public revenue is money forcibly taken from hardworking taxpayers: the assumption is taxes are bad. And any person or party calling for a tax hike is laughably unfit to rule. Himelfarb is co-editor of Tax is Not a Four-Letter Word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Different Take on Taxes in Canada. The compilation of essays by many leading experts explores various aspects of tax policy. Himelfarb filed already, well ahead of the May 5 extended deadline. Doing so didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the least faze this Ottawa resident and Government of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former most-senior non-political official. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just fine with filing my taxes,â&#x20AC;? said Himelfarb, one-time clerk of the privy council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a truly privileged life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the son of immigrants and this country has done much for us.â&#x20AC;? But what of those who are not grateful for government services? those who either donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate or need programs like welfare or the old age pension system, public education or universal healthcare? Himelfarb says class stratification can reach such extremes that the ultra rich believes it is entitled to all it has, that it earned its wealth (even if inherited or had educated employees). Conversely, the poor can loose all hope and believe the system is rigged. Meanwhile the middle class will resent those beneath and forgive those above. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we need to have a conversation on how we can restore the public good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The book is really about taxes as a proxy for how we think about our obligations toward one another and our responsibilities to the public good.â&#x20AC;? The great bulk of taxes are used to pay for social programs
that benefit the vast majority of Canadians, a point Himelfarb says has been lost amid the last 35 years of Thatcherism and Reaganomics that insist on decreasing taxes ad infinitum. The issue hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been as polarized between left and right. From the early to mid 20th century most progressive social programs in the US and Canada were put in place by rightwing administrations trying to stave off communism. Leftwingers were often libertarians suspicious of government as an instrument of tycoons and their corporations. When the generation that won the Second World War returned from Europe both sides favoured social programs to aid the transition back to civilian life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why left and right donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work very well. Progressives understand the state is necessary to contain the market and a strong civil society is needed to contain the state,â&#x20AC;? he said. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why he talks about value for tax dollars, as do all moderates, because blind trust in the state is as foolish as blind trust in the markets. Both are capable of tyranny. Less means more But what of the commonly held refrain: tax people and corporations less and business will thrive, creating more jobs and more tax revenue? Trickledown economics has been tried for the past 35 years, culminating in the 2008 economic meltdown caused by deregulation and profit concentration, Himelfarb indicated. He cited a recent bipartisan Congressional Research Service study showing tax cuts didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver on their promises. Then there are the obvious successes in social welfare nations in northern Europe where standard of living and happiness indicators far surpass the laissezfaire economies of the US and Japan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The market is not everything. Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the evidence that tax cuts deliver anything but suffering and pain,â&#x20AC;? he said. Suffering and pain is something tax cut advocates often point to, saying the private sector is suffering therefore the public
sector must be reduced. But most mainstream economists agree that, when in recession or near recession there must be stimulus spending on the public side to bolster the economy; and when the economy rebounds, governments should scale back. That is exactly what the late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty eventually agreed to do. Himelfarb agrees that a large government presence in the economy cushions against booms and busts. Sunshine lists and union bashing among cynics contribute to a culture that denigrates the public sector. Himelfarb said the highest level public servants are paid less than counterparts in the corporate world. But that is a weak response for those who say the highest paid in both sectors are raking in too much. He added that it is untrue that public servants donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contribute anything. To those who advocate austerity measures in the public sector, they need to explain why it is good for traffic gridlock, escalating post-secondary costs, healthcare wait lines and more to continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at least force our politicians to answer questions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are fond of asking how much a new idea is going to cost, but not what is lost when they cut taxes.â&#x20AC;? As for those who say they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay any more; those on fix incomes, or among the working class: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always better to pool money rather than go it alone, Himelfarb indicated, and lower income citizens tend to get back more than they pay in. To others, some of whom fake hardship to mask greed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If I have suffered, others should suffer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I would just say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a race to the bottom that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a part of.â&#x20AC;? Tax and spenders Another common refrain is this-or-that candidate is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just another tax-and-spendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Liberal or New Democrat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of many catch phrases mouthed by neocons on talk radio and in most daily newspapers that often goes unchallenged, as if the right capitalizes off of base emotions while the left is fumbling through the
rules of rational debate. Himelfarb, instead, turns it around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, they are tax-and-spenders. All politicians tax and spend. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they do: tax, spend, and reallocate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a question of those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
versus those who do. Even neoconservatives tax and spend. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a question on what: they tax and spend on military; progressives tax and spend on health care and social justice.â&#x20AC;? However, a recent example of a tax cut was when in 2006 newly
elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper, against the advice of most economists, cut the GST from 14 to 12 per cent. It made for a nice photo op, critics said, but also cost $14 billion a year in See TAX page 50

Province, OPP remind people what to do as bears come of out hibernation The potential for human-bear conflicts increases when there is little natural food available for bears. If this happens, black bears will search for other food sources, such as garbage and bird feed, which can draw bears to populated areas.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nuisance bears are a very serious public safety concern and while our government is taking steps to address this issue, it is also important for Ontarians to do their part in helping to minimize bear attractants. Taking simple steps to properly store gar-

Strawberry breakfast parfaits with wheat berries a great way to start the day Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This is an easy summer entertaining brunch idea. The parfaits can be made ahead to allow for relaxed and easy entertaining. Wheat berries are a true whole grain. They are loaded with nutrients; add a slight crunch and subtle nutty flavour to the parfait. Layers of luscious, creamy whipped ricotta, chewy wheat berries, slices of Ontario strawberries and maple syrup for sweetness, will have everyone endlessly dipping their spoons and clanking the bottom for more. Preparation time: 15 minutes Standing time: 12 hours Cooking time: 90 minutes Serves: 8

We are citizens who want to act in the common good.â&#x20AC;? He called it a question of taxing fairly and spending wisely. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the conversation he eventually wants the public to swing back toward.

gressive mayors are elected in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary, and Halifax. New Yorkers elected a mayor who promised to increase taxes on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealthiest citizens. Republicans are doing a rethink on where the Tea Party has led them, which is out of touch with the majority of disenfranchised voters. US President Barak Obama
talks a lot about equality; federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau talks about the middle class, but also about inequality; federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair would roll back corporate tax cuts and possibly increase capital gains taxes, though he vowed to freeze individual income taxes. Himelfarb thinks many 2015 municipal elections will be focused
on equality issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like there is something happening out there.â&#x20AC;? He said more and more citizens are catching on to the fallacy of the rugged individual fighting the world to satisfy his greed for material gain. Even the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, a conservative who famously said the whole is worth more than the
sum of its parts, would have trouble identifying with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neoconservative, Himelfarb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear what they are trying to conserve,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, we are more than consumers and taxpayers with no obligations to one another. We are citizens figuring out what kind of future we want and are trying to build it.â&#x20AC;?
