Community – Going retro means funky clothes, crazy hairstyles and rad lingo. For cancer survivors, at the third annual retro-themed Relay For Life it can also mean a time to reflect on their medical journey. The Mississippi Mills Relay For Life is set for June 6 at Gemmill Park from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. where participants will boogie around the track to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Last year the 34 local teams raised more than $125,000, this year the volunteer team has set its goal for $135,000. As of press time they had raised 41 per cent of the goal, $55,700, which media cochairs Moira Wilkie and Anna Zielinski, think is amazing. “Our community is so giving,” said Wilkie. “A lot of the money comes in that night as people can donate right up until 2 a.m. so I am really encouraged at how

much has been raised so far.” The event starts with a Survivors Reception at 5:30 p.m. and the opening ceremony kicks off at 7 p.m. with a Survivors Victory Lap. Wilkie says the Relay is open to the public and invites anyone to come and see what it’s all about. “Come out, enjoy the experience and maybe next year you can join a team,” said Wilkie. One of the most moving parts of the event is when the luminaries that line the track are lit. Each one is a bag that holds a candle and has a name of a cancer survivor or a loved one who has lost their battle with cancer written on it. “It’s an amazing experience to see the track lined with these decorated bags,” said Wilkie. “The first time I saw them lit up was at the Relay in Lombardy. It was so spirited and it reminded me that there are so many people who are worse off than me and that every little donation helps.”

Last year there were 700 luminaries lit up. This year the goal is to honour 800 people with their light shining. The luminaries cost $5 and can be ordered online or right up until 8 p.m. the night of the Relay. There will be plenty to do to help the hours speed by including local entertainment, Zumba classes, foot soaking stations and other support systems on hand. In 2013, there were 487 relays held across Canada with more than 161,000 participants and more than 33,000 cancer survivors raised $46.5 million. The money raised funds cancer research, compassionate services and support for those living with cancer and ways to stop cancer before it starts by promoting healthy lifestyles and advocating for policies that protect our health.

News – The four candidates vying for residents’ votes in Carleton-Mississippi Mills were grilled with a number of tough questions on Monday evening at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham. The all-candidates debate was hosted by the Arnprior Region Federation of Agriculture. Moderator Andrea McCoy-Naperstkow, president for Lanark Federation, posed questions on hydro, Almonte’s Enerdu project, rural/farming taxes and more to local candidates: John Hansen, New Democratic Party; Rosalyn Stevens, Liberal; Jack MacLaren, Progressive Conservative; and Andrew West, Green Party. Hydro The first question, one that has gained a lot of traction during the election was: what will your party do to rein in the escalating hydro rates? Stevens admitted that it was a question that was on everyone’s mind and she thinks people need

to look at hydro from a very wide scale perspective. “When our government took office we took over a broken system,” said Stevens. “The PCs had tried to privatize hydro and messed that up big time and we were left with a $12 billion debt that they tried to tack on to your bills as the debt retirement charge.” She said her party is trying to pay that off two years earlier than planned, saving taxpayers $70 each right away. “We are working hard to make sure we have a system that will support our needs,” Stevens said. “Sometimes that means investing in infrastructure but we have the plan to mitigate cost as well.” MacLaren had three key ideas when it came to hydro: stopping the Green Energy Act because he thinks “we cannot afford it,” ending the Ontario Power Authority and privatization. “We would look at breaking up and privatizing Hydro One because Hydro One is an unaccountable government agency. It’s out of control and very See DEBATE page A/CP2

Incumbent Hillier insists he is still a Hudak cabinet contender desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – If Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives form the next government at Queen’s Park on June 12, MPP Randy Hillier has not ruled himself out of contention for a cabinet position. The Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP was removed from his duties as the Tory Labour Critic last summer by Hudak, following a disagreement about labour legislation. But when pressed about the unlikelihood that a possible Hudak cabinet would not include Hillier amongst its ranks, Hillier bristled. “Why would you say it is not likely?” he asked. “You are reading far too much (into it.)” Hillier had a falling out with Hudak about legislation that would have allowed construction company Ellis Don to hire non-union workers. Hillier ended up voting with the NDP against the bill, and he was dismissed after internal emails sent by Hillier to party brass were leaked to the media. But Hillier said he feels that the fall-out may stand him well. “There is a level of regard that people have for shooting straight,” he said. “I would not suggest for a moment that, in the world of hypotheticals, that everything is set in stone.” His confidence stems, in part, he says, from his record in Toronto, where says he has “introduced more legislation than any other member at Queen’s Park,” including recall legislation, a bill calling for the repeal of Bill 119, tax and expenditure legislation – all told, about

14 bills introduced since 2011, seven more than the nearest member, who has introduced seven bills. He has also put forward 30 motions in the house, on everything from improving diagnostics and testing for Lyme disease to getting Carleton Place a new hospital. This is Hillier’s third election in seven years, first winning the seat in 2007, and while he sets that first race in a separate category, this election and the 2011 race, are, for him, carbon copies – including two of the three opposition candidates he is running against. This time out, however, some of the legislation he railed against two-and-a-half-years ago has come to fruition. The Green Energy Act, for example, passed in 2009 and became law a year later and now the full effects of that legislation are being felt, leading to one of this campaign’s front-and-centre issues. “The biggest issue is the ability to keep up with the cost of living,” said Hillier, the cost of hydro being “the most acute example of that…The people are just absolutely frustrated. It’s more than annoyed.” He pointed to a deal signed by the American state of New Hampshire with Hydro Quebec to purchase electricity at a rate of 4 ½ cents per kilowatt hour. In Ontario, however, “we put in place (a) 20-year contract to buy windmill power at 80 cents a kilowatt hour,” which has led to inflated energy costs. To combat this, Hillier said his party would ensure that there are no more solar or wind contracts put forward, would end green energy subsidies, and that local governments would have more control on the existing contracts. However,

Randy Hillier the contracts that have already been signed might be harder to regulate. “We do have the authority cancel those (existing) contracts, but their could be a very negative consequence to that,” said Hillier, as businesses need a certain level of confidence that contracts they sign with the government will be honoured. A PC government would also seek out cheaper hydro-electric contracts with Manitoba and Quebec, as well as resurrecting a Tory motion to get rid of the debt charge to clear the old Ontario Hydro debt. “From all the indicators, more than enough money has been taken from peo-

EMBERS CAN HELP MAKE YOUR VISION A REALITY

Planning your outdoor kitchen Spring has arrived and so have magazines filled with beautifully designed outdoor kitchens to dream about. The dream can become a reality with a practical plan in place. As with interior spaces the outdoor kitchen needs to be both functional and fit your lifestyle. Choosing a grill is the most important part of planning your outdoor kitchen. Embers offer a selection of grill sizes in natural gas and propane as well we carry the Big Green Egg charcoal BBQ. If you are interested in quick cooking you want a gas grill, if you want to experience the low smoked flavors of food adding a charcoal BBQ is a must. Knowing how you are going to use your space and a typical crowd size while using your outdoor kitchen will help with determine layout and which appliances should go in your outdoor

ple to discharge the debt,” said Hillier. However, the Liberals and NDP defeated this motion in the last session, though he promised it would be reintroduced after this month’s election. While the Green Party is bringing back its proposal for a carbon tax, Hillier’s party is proposing the polar opposite – a tax on green energy profits. “I don’t see any benefit in increasing the cost of living to people,” said Hillier. Over the last seven years, he said he is most proud of “my personal advocacy on the issues they (constituents) face. That is very rewarding for me.” He also pointed out that he is one of the few MPPs around to have their home phone number still listed in the phone book. One of the latest polls, for the Toronto Star, places the PCs neck-and-neck, at 36 per cent, with the Liberals, with the NDP at 20 per cent and the Greens at seven, but he refused to be drawn on how he thought the numbers would play out. “Polls and figures and statistics are a mug’s game,” he said. “The polls have been up and down and all around. Where will it be on June 12? I have no idea.” While Hudak has ruled out any coalition should Ontarians vote in another minority government, NDP leader Andrea Horwath has not. “Those things are beyond any one person’s control,” said Hillier, adding that the Liberals and NDP, in both the house and at the committee level, have voted together 97 per cent of the time in the last session. “We have had a de facto coalition for the last three years,” something he charged was dishonest to

the people of Ontario, and pointed to the “accord” government between David Peterson’s Liberals and Bob Rae’s NDP from 1985 to 1987, which was made public at the outset. “It is a moot point,” he said of any potential coalition talk. “I don’t know what will happen and to speculate what will happen…would be foolish.” At a number of debates held around the riding, including two last week in Carleton Place and Smiths Falls, Hillier was challenged on his party’s pledges to both cut 100,000 bureaucratic jobs, and also create one million jobs. “We said 100,000 positions would be gone, not 100,000 jobs,” said Hillier. “The bulk of those would be through attrition,” working at a rate of about five per cent of the 1.2 million strong civil service, or roughly 50,000 people per year. “That number will be achieved through attrition. We will do it over four years,” and through changes at Hydro One, Ontario Power Generation, and other bureaucracies. The Liberals and NDP have been challenging the math on the one million jobs pledge, but he noted that construction jobs, for example, which often are for finite periods, are measured out in “person years.” “When you indicate a job, there is no job that lasts forever,” said Hillier. “Most economists do end up quantifying it.” He also shot back that the 300,000 jobs promised by the Liberals with the creation of the Harmonized Sales Tax had yet to materialize, the same as the promised jobs flowing from the Green Energy Act.

Survivor reception, victory lap at Relay For Life an opportunity to celebrate being alive Cancer survivors invited to take part in both events in Smiths Falls June 13 Editor’s note: Leading up to the June 13 Relay for Life in Smiths Falls, we will be highlighting the stories of some of the team members, activities and events scheduled to take place in a series of articles. Community – Susan Niblock attended the Relay For Life (RFL) the first year it was held in the region in 2000 and was so impressed by what she saw that she became involved in the event for the next 10 years either as a member of a team or captaining her own team. In 2012, despite undergoing chemotherapy treatments in the midst of her own cancer fight, the Smiths Falls area resident still managed to take part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap. Last year, due to her reconstructive surgery, she was unable to participate in the RFL in Smiths Falls but she plans to be at this year’s event on June 13 at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track. “I am very pleased to take part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap,” says the breast cancer survivor. “Not everyone is able to. I am so thrilled I am a survivor. I am so glad I am able to do this for myself. I think it is honouring to those who helped me. I really want to celebrate being alive and well. I made it.” The Survivor Reception will start at 5:30 p.m. on June 13 and will continue until the opening ceremonies at 7 p.m. There will be appetizers and refreshments available during this time, as well

WMD Photography will be offering free portraits for the survivors who participate in the evening. “It is our hope that we can give them something beautiful that will lift their spirits a little and thank them for being a part of the Relay,” says Bill Davidson of WMD. A cancer survivor is defined as a person with cancer of any type who is living with, through, or beyond cancer. By this definition, survivorship begins at diagnosis. In 2013, 47 survivors attended the RFL in Smiths Falls. Survivors interested in taking part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap at this year’s event are encouraged to register in advance by contacting Melissa Hillier who is coordinating the survivor activities for the Relay. She can be reached by email at melissa_hillier@hotmail.com or by phone at 613-850-1664. “We are encouraging survivors to come out and take part in the reception and victory lap,” says Hillier. “Please join us as we celebrate, remember and fight back against cancer.” To learn more about RFL in Smiths Falls can contact the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Community Office of the CCS at 613-267-1058 (toll-free 1-800-3672913) or email lanarklg@ontario.ca.

Candidates paint stark differences on key election issues crat budget,â&#x20AC;? said Parkhill.

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; From balancing the books to bees, from a new hospital to old battles, last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-candidates debate in Carleton Place covered a lot of ground, in a riding that also covers a lot of ground. The Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce sponsored the all-candidates debate at the town hall on May 29, which brought in incumbent MPP Randy Hillier of the Progressive Conservatives, Bill MacDonald of the Liberals, David Parkhill of the New Democratic Party, and Cam Mather of the Green Party. Balanced budgets The first question of the evening came in written form from a member of the chamber, read into the record by moderator, Donna MacDonald, about the provincial debt. According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, the provincial debt stands at more than $271,000,000, as of Monday afternoon, with each person in the province owing about $19,950, and the questioner wondered what the candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective was on balance budget legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only am I in favour of it (the legislation), I put forward a motion (in favour) of it,â&#x20AC;? Hillier said. Under his motion, the government would have to include

is fully costed,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald. There was also a 10-year infrastructure plan that, he said, speaking as a former mayor, help municipalities better plan out their budgets. The Green Party would also support legislation to balance budgets, but the answer was an emphatic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? from Parkhill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important that government has the flexibility to get

through hard times,â&#x20AC;? said Parkhill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get through the Great Depression by sitting on our hands and balancing the books.â&#x20AC;? He added that New Democrats were good at handling money, pointing to NDP governments on the Prairie provinces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are looking for a balanced budget, it is a New Demo-

Corporate tax cuts Chris Cormier, region four vice president of the Ontario Public Sector Employees Union (OPSEU), inquired about corporate tax cuts from the panel of politicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Democrats do not support additional corporate tax cuts,â&#x20AC;? said Parkhill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (corporations) have been getting away with murder.â&#x20AC;? The Green Party agreed with this assertion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Green Party would not support any further corporate tax cuts,â&#x20AC;? said Mather, but it would offer more help for small business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax system is one of the most competitive in North America,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald. Hillier however, set himself apart with his assertion that â&#x20AC;&#x153;lowering the corporate tax rate (is something) I was in favour of,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to lower the tax rate for everybody.â&#x20AC;? Daycare The introduction of all-day kindergarten was heralded by former Premier Dalton McGuinty as one of his signature achievements, but the move has had unintended consequences along the way. According to questioner Sandy MacGregor, licensed child care programs have suffered,

with layoffs in some programs as the more profitable older children get scooped up by kindergarten, leaving less-profitable younger children and babies to be cared for. She charged that Lanark County now has a waiting list of more than 100 families on the waiting list for subsidies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we have seen is the unintended consequences of the full-day kindergarten (program),â&#x20AC;? said Hillier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that the only way to address that is to change the ratios and criteria,â&#x20AC;? for the number of teachers and early childhood educators required for each class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our municipalities are tapped out. There is not enough money there.â&#x20AC;? MacDonald defended the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Liberal Party was the one that brought in all-day kindergarten and it has proven to be popular,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) I know that some daycare centres have suffered.â&#x20AC;? But even at that, he stated that parents are saving, on average, $6,500 a year because of the new program, and that his party has also raised the child benefit allowance. Mather noted that his party supports not-for-profit, universal daycare, and it would encourage workplace daycares, while Parkhill pointed to his autistic See DEBATE page 6

children, and what he alleged were failures in the system that let them and others like them, down. “They (the Liberals) were aware of the need for children’s services,” he said. “I have seen (autism service) waiting lists grow.” Pointing to MacDonald, Parkhill said that “he can talk about all the money he is throwing at it…it ain’t getting to the kids that need it.” As for daycare as a whole, “it needs to be affordable, it needs to be licensed,” Parkhill said, holding up the Quebec model as an example. New hospital for CP One of the recurring themes from the last election is Carleton Place’s desire for a new hospital, to replace the aging Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. Parkhill said that the issue has “very much (fallen) on deaf ears,” and he laid the blame at Hillier’s feet. “We haven’t seen any movement at all (on the issue),” said Parkhill. “It is absolutely criminal that nothing has happened on this.” Mather said that his party was very focused on preventative medicine, and looking at ways of keeping people at home for longer. “I will try to find the money to help you get your health care,” said Mather. “I don’t know why you don’t have one yet. I will do everything I can to get you one.” However, he added that the model currently being used, with everrising costs, was not sustainable. With health care spending pegged at $18 billion in 2002, it has risen to $50 billion in 2014. “We have increased health care spending by seven-and-a-half per cent per year since 2003,” Mather said. MacDonald pointed out that he arranged meetings between a delegation from the hospital and Health and Long-Term Care Minister Deb Matthews at the Trillium Dinner in

Ottawa, and that Premier Kathleen Wynne met with another similar delegation at the Civitan Club hall in Perth last summer to discuss the matter. “I am not in a position to go out and advocate as an elected official,” said MacDonald, but he did so as a private citizen. “Our elected official has not advocated for the new hospital.” Hillier disagreed vehemently on this, pointing out that he has contacted Matthews, Alex Munter, the former chief executive officer of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), as well as making statements at Queen’s Park, and delivering petitions. “(For) 10 years, we have been advocating for this hospital,” said Hillier. “The LHIN approved this. They were set up to make decisions. There is direct political interference preventing Carleton Place from getting a new hospital.” Public health care Herve Cavanagh, president of OPSEU local 466, inquired about continued public funding of the health care system. “Publicly funded health care, yeah, absolutely,” said Hillier, before adding that “we are advocating more choice for people,” which could include private options. “Instead of it just being allocated by government bureaucrats…we are proposing that that (health care) be opened up, that people contract out that care,” Hillier said. “I support publicly-funded health care,” said MacDonald. He pointed out that the Liberals have increased funding to community care access centres and for home care. He added that hospital funding is also up by 50 per cent since 2003, that hospital wait times have been reduced, with 23 new hospitals built – compared to the 18 hospitals closed by the Harris government in the 1990s, and thousands of nurses given pink slips. “The Green Party supports

publicly-funded health care,” said Mather, but added that “we would advocate for more public-private partnerships.” Parkhill works in the health care sector himself, but charged that “we are seeing a non-commitment to community-based access to services,” from the Liberals. Hydro One irate landowner waved two hydro bills in front the panel – one from Quebec, one from Ontario, both from properties he owned. The Ontario bill was for $583 for one month. The Quebec bill? Seventy-five dollars for two months. “Where do you begin on the hydro file? It’s a catastrophe,” said Hillier, who said that he brought his own energy bill to the energy minister – and he wasn’t believed at first. “They (hydro bills) are driving people out of Ontario,” he said. “We can buy hydro from Quebec and Manitoba at much lower rates when we need it.” MacDonald pointed out that “the reason that energy is cheaper in Manitoba and Quebec is because they have cheaper water rates. (But) I agree with you that rates are too high. That is because of the delivery charge.” He urged that the delivery charge be taken off of bills, and that hydro infrastructure payments be made out of the government’s “general coffers.” Mather agreed that “it is an unfortunate situation. Electricity is hard to make,” which is why he lives off of the grid in Tamworth. He also urged Ontario to go nuclear-energy free, since it gets a lot of its energy from nuclear, while Quebec appears set to phase out its only reactor, but added that he agrees with buying cheaper Manitoba and Quebec hydro. “Profiteers are just gutting our hydro system,” said Parkhill. “We need to take Hydro One as our own entity and make it work for us. It won’t be easy, it won’t be cheap, it won’t be quick.”

Education When it comes to education, “these issues are near and dear to me,” said Parkhill. “We have seen our students pushed aside, pushed aside, pushed aside. We have seen 10 years of neglect under Dalton McGuinty. He painted himself as the education premier. (But) Dalton McGuinty has doen more harm to education than John Snobelen,” Mike Harris’ education minister from 1995 to 1997. “We know what it means when we see these cuts to education coming in,” said Parkhill. “These kids that will flourish with a bit of extra help will fall behind (without it),” he added. Mather brought up a Green campaign plank that his party intends to merge the Catholic and public school systems, to create one public school system, with English and French streams. “Most provinces in the country have eliminated faithbased school boards,” he said. Hillier chided the Liberals for implementing Bill 115, which forced labour contracts on some school boards. Because of that, “we ended up with a whole bunch of work-to-rules,” and one-day, rotating strikes across the province – even though the Tories voted for the same bill with the Liberals. MacDonald however defended the Liberal record on education, saying that the sector has seen a 53 per cent increase in funding since they took office in 2003. He claimed that there were higher test scores, more teachers on staff, and full-day kindergarten. “The only party that supports education and will continue to support education (is the Liberals,)” said MacDonald. Hillier however noted that while student enrollment has gone down by 250,000 students over the last 10 years, costs are rising and payroll has gone up too. Hillier also contended that grades were actually going down and that “our education

plan. If the plan is brought in, however, “you might as well kiss another 300,000 jobs goodbye.” MacDonald, however, said, “I absolutely support the Ontario Pension Plan. There are too many people who, when they hit retirement age, they cannot pay their own way. I think this should have happened a long time ago.” Mather admitted that since “it is a new policy, we have not had a chance to talk about it in our platform…But it does talk to the future.” Parkhill noted that he also does not favour an OPP, but would rather “like to believe that through negotiations and discussion, that we could improve the CPP. We would be far better off if we beef up the CPP,” he said, rather than creating another level of bureaucracy.

system has a heavy administrative burden. We are too bureaucratic in our education system. We need a breath of fresh air.” Ontario pension plan Premier Wynne has made a proposed pension plan, to compliment the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) in much the same way that Quebec’s system does, a cornerstone of her party’s re-election effort. But Hillier was having none of it. “I am opposed to the Ontario Pension Plan (OPP) as presented,” said Hillier. “It is a new payroll tax. There is not only the contribution of the employee, there is also the contribution of the employer,” adding a new cost to them. He advocated instead for a program like Australia has, where a mandatory two per cent of a worker’s pay is put into a registered retirement savings

REGIONAL NEWS

Lanark County council declares June 1 to 7 as National Access Awareness Week News – “The purpose of National Access Awareness Week is to raise understanding about the issues that affect people in our community who have disabilities,” said Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve). “About 1.85 million people in Ontario have some form of disability, especially as they get older, and we need to continue to find ways to provide equal access and opportunities for full participation in all aspects of Canadian life.” National Access Awareness

Week was first established in 1988 after Rick Hansen’s “Man in Motion” Tour, which promoted better community access for people with disabilities. The week celebrates achievements made by and for people with disabilities, and is a chance to promote access for people with all disabilities who encounter barriers preventing them from full participation in daily activities. “Right now one in seven people in Ontario has a disability, and that number is expected to be one

in five by 2036 as the population ages,” said Coun. Ed Sonnenburg (Carleton Place deputy mayor), chair of the county’s accessibility awareness sub-committee. “They face obstacles that prevent them from working, travelling and having full enjoyment in their communities. The county’s accessibility goal is to eliminate barriers to facilities, services and workplaces.” The sub-committee advises county council on how to make the corporation more accessible

for people with disabilities and aims to remove any existing barriers over time and to prevent new ones from being created. It was developed as part of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act and its key role is to advise council regarding its annual accessibility plan. “This can include reviewing site plans for new and existing municipal buildings, and checking bylaws, purchases, significant renovations, leased facilities, municipal capital facilities and goods and services provided by

the municipalities,” Sonnenburg explained. “We liaise with local municipalities and other accessibility advisory committees and we monitor federal and provincial directives and regulations.” There are many kinds of barriers, such as doors that are too heavy for a person in a wheelchair to open, signs and documents that are difficult to read for a person with a visual disability or a telephone that a person with a hearing loss cannot use. “We are committed to becoming an inclusive county in which

all persons with disabilities can exercise their civil, political, social and cultural rights on an equal basis with other persons,” Kidd said. “We want to ensure that everyone has the right to live in conditions of dignity, respect and peace.” The accessibility advisory sub-committee meets on average four times a year and its decisions are recommended to the county’s corporate services committee and then to council.

News – To commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day on June 6, The War Amps YouTube channel will feature iconic footage of Canadian troops storming Juno Beach in Normandy in 1944. These famous scenes were the first motion pictures the world would see of the D-Day invasion. The cameramen who scooped the international press were soldiers from the Canadian Army Film Unit. The War Amps is releasing a newsreel every week on its YouTube channel at YouTube. com/warampsofcanada. Left, army cameramen assigned to capture the first wave of the D-Day invasion. Submitted photo

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Why does Hillier’s Hitachi boondoggle hurt LFLA farmers? DEAR EDITOR: Our local MPP, Randy Hillier, complains about the Samsung boondoggle when he criticizes the green energy policies of the Liberal government. He also says that farmers should not be getting revenue from solar panels at the expense of hydro ratepayers. His solution is to have our electricity produced by “cheap” nuclear. This means that if Mr. Hillier gets his way, billions of dollars will be paid to companies like Hitachi, Toshiba, or SNC Lavalin (which is being investigated in Quebec for bribery and corrupt practices) to refurbish or build new nuclear reactors. Also, Mr. Hillier has implied that Ontario could import electricity from Quebec. Mr. Hillier thinks that it’s OK to pay out billions of dollars to big foreign companies and other provinces but not thousands to our own farmers to allow them to stay on their land and produce food for us.

Since the price of nuclear is going up and the price solar energy dropping dramatically, it will actually be cheaper to get our energy from green renewable sources such as solar, wind, and biogas produced locally by our farmers than from nuclear reactors. All of our green energy comes from public private partnerships where companies or farmers have to invest their own money and get a fixed rate for the energy they produce as opposed to nuclear power where the province has been on the hook for cost over-runs. We see this every day on our hydro bills when we have to pay off the “stranded” debt produced by nuclear power. Mr. Hillier should stand up for his constituents and support local farmers by paying them instead of Hitachi for our electricity. Wolfe Erlichman Godfrey

COMMENTARY

We must remember Editorial – This year marks a number of significant military anniversaries for our country, including tomorrow (June 6), which serves as the 70th anniversary of D-Day during the Second World War. D-Day, also known as the Normandy landings which were part of Operation Overload during the war, saw more than 150,000 soldiers from Canada, the United States, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom storm an 80-kilometre stretch of the coast of Normandy. Twelve-thousand men lost their lives that day, but helped to secure a significant Allied victory in the war. In this day and age, it’s sometimes easy to forget the sheer scale of the two World Wars that shaped so much of our past, simply perhaps because we didn’t experience them. That’s no reason to be apathetic. We should be sinking up as much of our history as we can and there’s no lack of footage out there to view. A perfect example is our editorial photo this week, which captures army cameraman assigned to capture the first wave of the D-Day invasion on film. In honour of D-Day, the War Amps’ YouTube channel will feature footage of Canadian troops storming Juno Beach and each week a different portion of footage is being released. How incredible it is that we have these newsreels. It’s all part of a project that’s been unfolding over the past two years to make Canadian Army newsreels available to the public. Maybe it isn’t pretty, but we should all take a more active role in learning about our history. On June 6, remember to take a moment to remember those who sacrificed their lives so we could all enjoy our freedom.

Emerson insists on proper burial for all animals Lifestyle – Emerson was having no part of it! Ronny and Terry had come from Montreal for their usual long summer holidays, and Ronny, just as aggressive as Emerson, insisted he was quite capable of playing a leading role in burying the dead bird. Emerson was high on burying anything that had died on the farm, and having what he called a proper funeral. He drew the line on the long list of farm animals that ended up in our smoke house and on the old pine table at mealtime. Thank goodness, or we would be having a funeral service every few days! What he called a proper send-off was saved for birds, squirrels, or anything else that roamed the large acreage that was our farm at Northcote and which had passed on for one reason or another. He was known to drag a dead groundhog a half mile to give it a proper service. Now, the service usually included us five children standing, (although my sister Audrey, the oldest was get-

ting less and less enamoured with the whole idea) around in solemn wonder as Emerson said a few words, put the deceased in a shallow hole, covered it up, stuck a twig in the mound, and then we were supposed to stand and meditate for at least a full three minutes, which Emerson measured off by counting backwards. That Saturday the dead bird was discovered in the barnyard, and Emerson didn’t take long to announce that we should all gather behind the silo as soon as we finished our breakfast. Ronny said he would be glad to help with the service. Emerson said that wouldn’t be necessary, he had the service down pat. Knowing Ronny, he had other plans. Well, Mother wasn’t letting any of us away from the house until the kitchen had been redded up, and that included Emerson pitching in. We all had our special chores, and nothing interfered with Mother’s routine, dead bird, or no dead bird. Ronny was to take the table scraps out to the back stoop for our old ColVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 104

lie dog Sport, who, like the rest of us, was well aware of our mealtime routine, and was already sitting on the bottom step waiting for whatever morsel was coming his way. As Ronny was heading out the door, Emerson hollered, “We’ll meet at the silo in five minutes.” Finally the red and white oilcloth covered table was wiped clean, the dishes washed, dried and put away, and the floor swept. We all headed for the back door. Audrey couldn’t be coaxed out of the kitchen. “Nonsense...just plain nonsense,” she could be heard muttering.

as Mother was concerned. As long as our chores were done to her liking, she was happy! Emerson always wore his cap at these ceremonies. I thought that strange since you wouldn’t dare wear a cap in church, and this was supposed to be as close to a church service as you could get without actually going to church. He also took the battered hymn book with him. He would have loved to take the bible which sat in the parlour on the twig table, but Mother drew the line on that! No bible left the house to bury a dead bird. Emerson led us solemnly out of the house, down the back steps and across the front yard towards the silo behind the barn. Little Terry had no idea where he was going, but he sensed excitement in the air, and holding my hand tightly, he skipped along as if we were going to a party. Ronny was already at the site. And it didn’t take a university graduate to figure out what he had done.

at one end of it, and there stood Ronny standing in solemn wonder with his hands folded in steeple position and his eyes closed. Ronny had buried the bird. Well, Emerson lost all sense of piety, lunged at Ronny, dropped the hymn book, and was about to tear into him when Everett and Earl got a good hold of him and held him back. Ronny had the good sense to head for the house where he knew Mother would never let Emerson lay a hand on him. The rest of us stood around the little mound. I have no idea when he did it, but Ronny had taken a scrap of paper, woven it through the twig at the head of the makeshift grave, and printed in black red crayon, “Goodbye Bird”.

June 6, 1944: Recalling Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role 70 years later Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a wet and wind-swept spring afternoon in Normandy, France. And Wally Mace was excited! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look boys, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put the steeple back on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;er,â&#x20AC;? Wally exclaimed. He was pointing a finger as he quickly moved back and forth along the centre aisle of the bus. Wally was bent at an odd angle as he tried to see out of the moving coach. What he had spotted was a church in one of the beachside communities behind Juno Beach, a place which should be well-known to every Canadian.

Exactly 70 years ago tomorrow, on June 6, 1944, two brigades from the 3rd Canadian Division waded ashore and fought their way inland as part of one of modern historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boldest and most successful military invasions. Wally Mace, a 17-year-old from Carleton Place, was one of those soldiers. The event itself is best known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;D-Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the nickname for Operation Overlord, the massive Second World War Allied assault on the French coast that helped bring an end to the Na-

tory of World War II and its aftermath. Seven decades later it is likely this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observances will be the last major event related to D-Day which will be attended by actual veterans of the invasion. The ranks of the Canadian, British and American troops who spearheaded Operation Overlord are rapidly dwindling. In 10 years, on the 80th anniversary, it seems unlikely many â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if any â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will still be alive. a Wally Mace didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live to see the 70th anniversary. He died in 2009 in his 85th year. The incident I describe at the beginning of this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column occurred in May 1995, shortly after Wally and more than 20 other Second World War veterans from Carleton Place, Lanark County and Ottawa attended another very special event in The Netherlands. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland and the 50th anniversary of the end of Second World War in Europe. Wally and the other area veterans marched proudly in the national liberation parade in the city of Apeldoorn, in southeastern Holland. All along the route the elderly veterans were cheered by a crowd estimated at half a million (Apeldoorn has 157,000 permanent residents). Canadian troops, including

Wally, played a major role in freeing tiny Holland from five years of German occupation and Nazi tyranny. Throughout the parade the estimated 8,000 veterans involved were handed bouquets of flowers, hugged and kissed by women and were slapped on the back or shook hands with the male parade watchers. Unforgettable scene I saw it firsthand and it is a truly incredible scene that is forever burned into my memory. As the then publisher of the Carleton Place Canadian and Almonte Gazette newspapers I, along with my wife Kathleen, was invited to accompany the local contingent to the landmark anniversary observances in Holland. The late Alan R. Barker, founder of the Carleton Place funeral home of the same name, was the organizer. An Almonte native, Alan was part of the ill-fated Canadian invasion of the heavily defended German-occupied port of Dieppe in August 1942. Less than two years later he was part of the successful assault against Adolf Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much vaunted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atlantic Wallâ&#x20AC;? on D-Day. The invasion that hastened the end of the Second World War in Europe. Like Wally, Alan fought his

way through France, Belgium and Holland as part of the ultimately successful war in the west. In May 1995 he was accompanied to Europe by his wife Melba, the first female mayor of Carleton Place. Sadly both have since passed away. I wish to pay tribute to both of them this week. They were very special people. The 50th anniversary trip Alan organized changed my life. I have been writing about veterans ever since and I will continue to do so as long as I am able. They are truly amazing people who deserve more recognition than they have received in my opinion. During that trip, following five days in The Netherlands, our group travelled to France. We spent two days in and around the city of Caen, during which we walked the Normandy invasion beaches. We also visited several war cemeteries including BĂŠny-surMer Canadian War Cemetery where just over 2,000 of our countrymen are interred. Most were killed during the early stages of the Battle of Normandy, including on D-Day itself. To say the least it was a very moving experience! For Wally Mace the 1995 odyssey marked his first time

back on Juno Beach since he waded ashore on D-Day and survived to tell the tale. More than 300 Canadians weren’t so fortunate. They were killed in action on the first day of the attack. To finish the story I started, the church Wally was referring to became a grim focal point for Canadian soldiers in the hours following the invasion. German snipers occupied the steeple, picking off anyone and everyone they set their sights on. The end of that chapter came quickly said Wally, a member of the 30th Artillery Battery. “We (Canadians) put a couple of rounds into ‘er (steeple) and down she came,” Wally outlined. “No more snipers,” he added, with satisfaction evident in his voice. Not long after our return from Europe Wally’s wife Florence (she passed away in 2012) told my wife an interesting sidebar story. “That trip was so good for Wally,” Flo told Kathy. “He can finally sleep. He’s had nightmares ever since (the war) and now they’re gone.” The trip to Normandy had finally given him some closure. I mentioned that Wally was 17 in 1944. The standard for a soldier at the time was 18. He told me he tried to join the war effort when he was 16 but was refused. A year later recruiters evidently turned a blind eye. The underage Wally got his wish and joined the army. Canada’s contribution Tomorrow, among the quickly

dwindling ranks of D-Day veterans will be a number of Canadians. I’m sure many of them faced the same dangers Wally and his mates did during the war. I hope the experience of being at Juno Beach again will be as good for them today as it was for my friend 19 years ago. I will now offer some facts about D-Day that demonstrate just how important the Normandy invasion and its aftermath were. I also want to underline the important role Canadians played in this epic battle. For those who were living in German-occupied countries at the time, the invasion couldn’t come soon enough. Adolf Hitler’s “1000 Year Reich” lasted a mere 12. But the death, destruction and savagery unleashed during such a relatively short period in world history has few, if any, parallels. Tomorrow’s observances will focus on just one day. The day German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel predicted would be “The Longest Day.” For both the Germans and the Allies! Rommel, the man charged with repelling the long expected invasion, knew the first 24 hours would be crucial. If his troops were able to hurl the Allied forces back into the Atlantic, the course of the war might have been very different. It turns out Rommel was both right and wrong. He bravely predicted the German defenders would win the day. Fortunately he was wrong. But he was certainly right about the first day being the most critical. It is the Allies’ success on that momentous day that will be remembered Tuesday.

D-Day is marked (the letter ‘D’ is actually just the first letter of Day – or in this case THE day) every June 6. As mentioned there are fewer of the actual participants left to mark the anniversary with each passing year. More than 14,000 Canadian troops were involved in the initial Juno Beach assault. There were also two British and two American invasion beaches on the Normandy front. A little known fact is that during the first hour of the attack the Canadians suffered 50 per cent casualties. That is comparable to American losses on Omaha Beach which is usually the first area mentioned when it comes to D-Day casualties. Another seldom acknowledged fact about D-Day is that it was Canadian soldiers who advanced farther inland, on that first day, than any other attacking force. As they did throughout the war in Europe the Canadians were handed a difficult task and they executed it to perfection. D-Day statistics show there were 946 Canadian casualties, of which 335 were killed. All Canadians should remember, respect and honour their sacrifice tomorrow. We owe them the freedom we enjoy today. Last week I read a newspaper death notice on Herb Pragnell from Almonte, another of the veterans from our 1995 excursion. I then looked at our photos taken at the time. Herb was the last surviving veteran from our group. God bless him – God bless all of them!

Hospice volunteers help ease the pain of loss for grieving families day season, which are addressed in the groups. “It could be changing what you normally do for Christmas and not being afraid to do that,” said Bowie. Support group members are encouraged to bring mementos of the deceased – like photos, objects, even music – to memorialize them at the group. A lot of hospitals have their own volunteer-led bereavement programs that complement the work done by Bowie’s group. There is a bereavement nurse at the Carleton Place and District Memo-

News – At least you get a chance to say goodbye. The pain of losing someone close to you may never really ever go away, but while you can take steps to manage that memory, and not let it overtake you, there are subtle differences in the dynamics between dealing with the fallout of a sudden death, versus one that was long-anticipated – though, by no means is the grief easier in either circumstance. “All losses are difficult in different ways,” said Rebecca Bowie, co-ordinator of the volunteer hospice visiting service, during an interview at her office at Community Home Support – Lanark County (CHSLC) in Perth. “They are so hard to compare. I wouldn’t say it is any easier if you know that someone is ill.” While a terminally-ill patient may be able to put his or her affairs in order, say their goodbyes and even make peace with estranged loved ones, the emotional burden is still difficult for those left behind. However, there is “a big difference when there is unfinished business,” when someone dies suddenly. Take, hypothetically, she says, a man, aged 60, who is looking forward to retirement, His children are raised, and he is anticipating graduations, marriages, and children for them, a sudden death can create a lot of regrets for what could have been for the widow and the rest of the family, in the envisioned golden years that included him. “That’s really difficult because it is the plans and dreams that are not complete,” said Bowie. “It’s all the plans that don’t get to happen.” No matter what type of grief one goes through during the mourning period after losing a loved one, “it’s always a shock,” said Bowie. Even if the patient has been ill for a decade, and has had three or four near misses, being rushed to the hospital in really rough shape, the fifth time, “after 10 years, you call the ambulance, and they don’t come home.” While the patient is in the somewhat uncomfortable position of having weeks, months, even years to contemplate their impending departure from this life, the family members and loved ones face the further obstacle of what comes afterwards. “Well, what do I do now?” is a common question asked by long-term caregivers when the loved one finally succumbs. “My life has been looking after this person for 10 years. You don’t know what somebody means to you until they die. Sometimes people really don’t know what the people mean to them and they are broadsided… it is a void they didn’t expect.” For the patient, as their journey progresses from diagnosis onwards, they

Their role changes.” Hospice visiting service Her more than 60 volunteers visit “people living with a life-limiting illness,” serving not only the patient, but also their family, often setting up weekly volunteer visits that go beyond simply finding out if the patient is taking their medication but, also “companionship and understanding… loss is a part of life. We are here and we have empathy for someone, because you can never really know what it is like for the person.” “I go out and visit them in their home and see what their needs are,” said Bowie. “We fill in the gaps with trained volunteers. I go in and visit them and see where they are.” During early-stage visits, she does not broach issues like DNRs, or do-notresuscitate orders, but, as the bond between volunteer and patient grows, the volunteers tend to become advocates on their patient’s behalf, continuing on their visits when the patient is transferred to hospital, hospice, or long-term care facility, from their home. “As the illness progresses, we may have more than one volunteer in there,” said Bowie. But the visits do not just help the patient. “It’s often respite care for the caregiver.” The volunteers go through a 36-hour palliative care training course, facilitated by an educator from the South East Local Health Integration Network. Many volunteers go on to complete the second level of the training. One such volunteer with CHSLC is Perth area resident Jennifer Jilks, whose

own experiences caring for her mother and father as they endured terminal illnesses, led her to write a novel, Living and Dying with Dignity in 2008. She said she helps prepare families for the grieving process in any way she can. “I tell family members to write the eulogy and obituary before their loved one passes away. It helps you reflect back on what they did that was positive,” she stated. Jilks often aids in the process by capturing a client’s thoughts and wishes on paper during her visits. “Sometimes they (client) have a message for family and I will write that down,” she said. At times, what a loved one facing end-of-life ponders can be surprising for the family. “One of my clients, the son read out part of what I had transcribed at the their funeral and spoke about their happiest moment. It was when they turned 16 and were able to quit school. Not when their kids being born or getting married, but quitting school,” Jilks remarked. “Another lady told me about how she wanted her funeral to be. She wanted it to be nothing like her husband’s. He was a jazz musician and for his funeral, musicians walked the streets and played in his honour,” she added. “…I pass all of this information on to families. Life and death is all part of the same continuum.” The volunteer hospice visiting service has two-month bereavement support groups in the county: • Carleton Place, last Wednesday of each month, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., at the Waterside Retirement Residence, 105 McNeely Ave. • Perth, second Wednesday of each month, 1 to 3 p.m., at Lanark Lodge, 115 Christie Lake Rd. To register, please call 613-2676400, or email rebeccab@chslc.ca, but “anyone can come the groups. It is nice if I can know ahead of time. No one is forced to speak. (But) usually people do talk.” There are often timely themes tied to the seasons, like the ongoing holiTHE EMC - 20 - Thursday, June 5, 2014

rial Hospital, and the new Hub Hospice Palliative Care centre, 70 Clyde St., in Almonte. “There used to be more palliative care in the hospitals and we are trying to get that back,” said Bowie. While many patients want to remain in their home for as long as possible, with long-term care facility waiting lists what they are, they may end up having to stay at home for longer than is medically advised, because there simply is not enough room.

Community – “If society wasn’t so grief phobic, I’d be out of a job,” says Barbara Carroll, hospice volunteer and bereavement support/group facilitator. That statement pretty much sums up the social need and the role that Carroll and others like her play in helping people prepare for the end of life and renewal. She is a grief counsellor who helps people through their final days and supports those they leave behind. “We’re not that good at dealing with people who are grieving because of death, separation, infertility, miscarriage or retirement,” she says. To that end Carroll volunteers as grief counsellor both one-on-one and as a group facilitator. “I like intense emotions and palliative care and grief work is where you get them,” she says. An immigrant from New Zealand, Carroll has had graduate training in mathematics and psychology. She worked as a university lecturer for 15 years and then as a fibre artist for another 15 years, now she’s on a third career as a grief counsellor, and that’s an important distinction she says. Her role is that of a counselor, not a therapist. It’s not an easy road and there are times when she wonders about the way that dying patients are treated in hospitals. “There was a patient I visited in the hospital and he was obviously dying – but the physiotherapist came in and said ‘come on you have to get up and walk to keep those muscles moving’, and I remember thinking, ‘why?’,” she says. That’s just an illustration of how we view death, less as a right of passage and more as a battlefield. Acceptance is not in our social vocabulary, but it is in Carroll’s. “I was called by a woman I had

been seeing, who said her husband was dying and I’d better come over if I wanted to see him. When I got there he was so obviously already on his way somewhere else I didn’t want to drag him back,” she recalls. That passive acceptance is a large part of what grief counselling is about, according to Carroll. “With grief there is nothing wrong with you, you’re just grieving but the message people get is ‘get over it. If you’re emotional stay home, or go to the washroom,’ “ she explains. Grief isn’t a disease or a problem that needs fixing; it’s a normal process, but it’s one that is best navigated with support. “I’m just there to listen, I’m just there validating the reality,” says Carroll. “There was one client I was visiting who had a nurse and personal support worker helping her care for her dying husband. At one point I turned to her and commented ‘my goodness, this is like grand central station.’ She looked at me and burst into tears – I had just validated her sense of lost privacy and space and it was a relief for her,” says Carroll. That is in an important aspect of what Carroll and other volunteers like her do – simple validation. “One reason I would go into home would be to give the primary caregiver a break,” says Carroll. By doing so she will spend time with the palliative patient, often supporting them as well. “I’ve had people say I hate not dying, I’ve turned my wife into a slave,” she says. Being there to hear those words is the therapy she provides. Each situation is different she says, which is part of what keeps her interested and motivated. Some people need more or less support. “I worked with a man who was undergoing treatment his wife didn’t See GRIEF page 21

Different situations demand different strategies, and she might do some grounding techniques with someone who is grief stricken. “I might get people in despair to just breathe and pay attention to their physical symptoms, because there are often a lot of things going on – exhaustion, intense grief and loss. These are all emotions

agree with, so I was there to support them both,” says Carroll. By support she means, simply being there, being a sounding board, a listener, a companion. The biggest part is supporting the caregiver while they are performing that role and most importantly once their patient has left. “It’s a huge loss to the caregiver – they don’t know who they are anymore,” says Carroll. In older societies there would have been an extended family around to offer support directly or indirectly but today too many people find themselves alone. “Some people have no family support – no friends – they may really need the interaction but are just too needy. People like that may fall into despair, if they don’t have resources, they may just stay there. They may turn to drugs or alcohol anything to ease the pain – it becomes too big for them and they can’t deal with it,” explains Carroll. Often the people who will be left behind have been so busy caring for the patient they haven’t had time to prepare themselves. “Or you may have a client who is grieving the loss of a spouse but they may also have

that increase a person’s sense of vulnerability and so fear,” she says. A person who is grieving, explains Carroll, walks into a glass tunnel and her role is to walk along beside the tunnel. “The privilege of having total strangers tell you a tragic story they’ve experienced or their thoughts about dying, those are such privileged moments,” she says. While she experience a great deal of satisfaction from both one-on-one counselling and group counselling it isn’t something she could do fulltime not does she need to. Generally Carroll will spend two to three hours with a client and not every week. “I couldn’t see 20 or 25 clients a week, that would be too much,” she says. While this is work that gives her a great deal of satisfaction and even joy, she says it does take its toll. “There is a team of us (who) do this grief counselling and we get together once in a while and that helps,” she says. On the other hand the purity of the relationships she forms with grief stricken clients is one that she cherishes. “You see people at their most vulnerable and at their most magnificent and you don’t see that every day,” she says with the open simplicity that is her trademark.

Part Three of a Four-Part Series

Life after death: Many tools available to help grieve a loved one By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

News – The process of grieving a loss is arguably the most difficult aspect of life we face. Seeing a loved one at peace after facing a terminal illness can give comfort, but what about those left behind? Hospice doesn’t just support your loved one during their terminal illness, but can also provide much peace for family members afterwards. Beth Donovan Hospice (BDH), which has been serving the areas of North Grenville, Merrickville and South Ottawa for 22 years, has a “very robust” bereavement program, said executive director Dawn Rodger, which they are always enhancing. “We want people to know they’re not alone and what they’re feeling is completely normal,” Rodger said. “It’s a process, they are thrust into this new life they hadn’t anticipated without their loved one. It’s about how to relate your experience with others’ experiences. It’s normal, it takes time to have a healthy grieving process.” One of the biggest ways the organization is doing this is with the addition of counsellor Suzanne Duc, who holds a Master of Arts in counselling psychology. She became part of the team in July 2013. “Our professional counsellor on staff, Suzanne, provides oneon-one counselling for those anticipating death or who have lost a loved one,” Rodger said. In a report Duc gave at BDH’s annual general meeting earlier this year, she noted that grief and bereavement counselling is available in individual, couple and group formats, home visits, workshops, volunteer training in bereavement and support, as well as trauma and loss presentations. “Our services are available to

all those in our catchment area suffering from life-limiting illness, their caregivers (whether family, friends or members of their health care team), as well as anyone who has suffered human loss,” Duc explained. “We have a number of groups, including those specifically for loss of spouse, loss of child and loss of a loved one due to suicide,” Rodger said, adding that all counselling done is in accordance with the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists. Duc started off working one day a week (eight to 10 hours), but thanks to a LHIN grant in December 2013, allowed BDH to expand their counselling services (free of charge) to 20 hours per week. “Year-to-date numbers for 2014 reflect a substantial year over year increase with 198 individual sessions taking place representing a total of 31 clients served,” Duc stated in her report. However, there is on average, a three to four week waiting list for those seeking individual counselling appointments with BDH. Variety of workshops Everyone experiences grief in a different way therefore BDH has a variety of workshops to help, whether it’s an eight-week closed spousal bereavement group offered this past winter; surviving the holidays sessions co-facilitated by BDH Chaplain, Pastor Daniel Massey; or a Kemptville District Hospital presentation on compassion fatigue. “Our goal is to support members of the community with their grief and bereavement needs in a client-centred fashion,” Duc stated. “There is no limit to the number of sessions offered nor is there always a fixed session length. Clients take an active role in their own treatment and most attend therapy

In the future, Duc said the plan is to organize group programming to run them quarterly and focus on specific topics. “This vision is based on research evidence which suggests that planning groups based on similar types of loss is experienced by participants as more helpful to their overall grief recovery pro-

cess,” she noted. As BDH moves forward with its counselling program, Rodger said a partnership with Yorkville University will be a big part. Currently, the organization mentors a student going through training to become a counsellor. “Not only will supervision in this regard permit students of Yorkville’s counselling psychology program to complete the necessary requirements of their graduate degree program over a six-month period; it will also reduce and hopefully eliminate our current

wait list condition given the addition of counselling resources,” Duc explained. Expanding community outreach programming with more structured volunteer bereavement training is another goal of BDH. “In cases were professional-level counselling support is not required, we aim to provide peer support as the client(s) deems appropriate either through telephone outreach initiatives or home visits,” Duc said. “There is a 24-hour training period and great community partnerships through other local Hospices and Bereaved Families of Ontario to train our facilitators,” Rodger stressed. Community education and awareness is an important aspect of ensuring the word gets out about the support services that are available. Duc said there are talks to become a bigger presence in local schools to help with suicide awareness and prevention. “...Moreover, we hope to

build upon newly established relationships with local physicians and community service organizations to promote our counselling services and to provide much-needed grief and bereavement education to primary care providers,” she stated. Rodger, who also serves as the chair of the Champlain Regional Bereavement Task Group, said she is happy BDH has involvement on a regional level. She has played a role in developing a regional bereavement plan, which will be a tool for hospitals, Hospices and long-term care facilities. “A recommendation has been brought forward to the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Board that it would be helpful for service providers to have a bereavement plan... in order to increase access to services in communities in which individuals live,” Rodger explained.“...It (plan) will help give organizations a means to start implementing bereavement care programs in their organizations.”

News – The following are questions posed by the Citizens’ Democracy Forum, a multi-party group of supporters of all provincial parties and the answers received from candidates in the provincial election for the ridings of Lanark-Frontenac- Lennox & Addington and Leeds-Grenville. 1• With our ‘first-past-the-post’ voting system producing ‘majority’ governments that receive considerably less than a clear majority of votes cast… and as a result, substantially fewer eligible voters actually choosing to vote... do you and your party agree that, because the views and interests of the majority of electors is not usually represented in our legislatures, this is a serious flaw in our democracy that needs to be addressed forthwith? LIBERAL LFLA: We want to restore the public’s trust in government. We would like to see more Ontarians engaged in the political process. Through our Open Government initiative we’ve already taken tangible steps to make Government more transparent, accountable, and engaging. We’ve opened-up government data, proposed an expanded mandate for the Ontario Ombudsman, and sought to improve disclosure of MPP expenses. Our Plan for Ontario builds on these achievements, committing, for example, to move on the recommendations of the Open Government Panel and to reintroduce our Accountability Act. With respect to electoral reform, unlike other parties, we acted. We

established a Democratic Renewal Secretariat and, in 2007 after a lengthy public consultation across the province, we gave the people of Ontario a choice with a referendum on electoral reform. The people of Ontario chose to stay with the ‘first-past-the-post’ system we currently have today. GREEN: Canada is one of the few parliamentary democracies in the world that still uses the first past the post system. This voting system does not result in governments that reflect the values and wishes of voters, nor does it foster the involvement of diverse voices in decision-making. It often leads to majority governments elected by a minority of voters. The Green Party of Ontario recognizes this as a flaw in our democracy. The Green Party of Ontario supports proportional representation for Ontario. Electoral reform will eliminate the need for strategic voting, reduce negative campaigning, and ensure every vote counts. NDP L&G: Yes, New Democrats believe that people shouldn’t feel their vote doesn’t count if they don’t vote for one of the major parties. New Democrats supported changing the system in the 2007 referendum but because of the rules set up by the Liberal government, weren’t allowed to openly campaign for it. We also believed it suffered from negative media coverage and a lack of information about the proposal and the Citizens’ Assembly that recommended it. PC L&G: The Ontario PC Party

conducted widespread consultations in developing our platform for the June 12 provincial election. While many issues were identified as important, changing Ontario’s current voting system was not a priority. However, I do believe there are changes to our voting system that must take place. Specifically, I’m referring to the accuracy of our list of electors maintained by Elections Ontario. The poor job Elections Ontario does in maintaining this vital information, which is the primary method for candidates – and Elections Ontario itself – to connect and engage with electors is something I raised at Queen’s Park following the 2011 provincial election. Here is a copy of my Member’s Statement, which received praise from members of all three parties: Ontario Hansard - 23-November2011 Mr. Steve Clark: Thank you, Speaker, and congratulations on your election as Speaker. I rise to speak today about an issue that concerns all of us here in this Legislature. I’m referring to the most fundamental aspect of our democratic system: the right of people to cast their ballot. I’m asking my fellow MPPs to join me in demanding that Elections Ontario clean up its disgraceful voters list. We were all disappointed with the historically low voter turnout on October 6, when fewer than half of Ontarians voted. I believe that one of the main

reasons is their frustration of being left off the voters’ list entirely or the incorrect information they were given about where to vote. I’m sure everyone in this Legislature heard horror stories from people at the doorstep during the campaign. I had people tell me they had lived at the same location for decades and dutifully voted in every election, only to discover they had suddenly vanished from the list. Others were shocked to find several names listed on a home they’d lived in for generations-except their own. Many were so offended by this omission, which they took as a personal insult, that they refused to vote in protest. I also recall a couple in Portland, in my own riding, who could literally throw a stone and hit the side of the polling station they’d voted at for years, yet their voters’ card sent them to a polling station 30 minutes away. They took the time to get it fixed, but I’m sure many others said, “Why bother?” I call on Elections Ontario to look into why the voters’ list is such a mess and fix it before more Ontarians become disenfranchised. Unfortunately, Elections Ontario has done nothing to improve the situation in the nearly three years since and I pledge that if successfully re-elected on June 12, I will continue to advocate on this issue.

Popular Country Gardens magazine features local couple By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Carleton Place homeowners Jessica Locke and John VanBeek are enjoying their 15 minutes of fame – and rightly so. The couple’s uniquely crafted backyard shed and beautiful gardens are featured in the summer issue of Country Gardens, a Better Homes and Gardens publication that celebrates the spirit and romance of gardening as a lifestyle. “We are absolutely thrilled, and our family and friends are so excited for us,” Locke told the Canadian Gazette recently. The duo also received congratulations from mayor Wendy LeBlanc, and since their edition of Country Gardens came out, “we’ve had a few cars drive by the house,” Locke said with a smile. Last July, Locke and VanBeek opened their garden for the inaugural Blooming Arts and Garden Tour, presented by Carleton Place in Bloom and Arts Carleton Place. Seven different gardens in town were featured. When VanBeek purchased the century-old brick home at 136 Lake Ave. W. in 2005, the only thing in the backyard was a maple tree. “The first thing he did was construct a fence for the dog,” Locke said. “John loves to build!” Next came a screened gazebo – her favourite feature in the backyard. “We love being outdoors, but we don’t like the mosquitoes,” Locke said. The backyard’s pièce de résistance is the garden shed, which was constructed using lumber from a 1890s cow barn.

Top right: Other outdoor highlights include a stone patio, water fountain, wood deck and fencing and more than 100 types of perennials in eight gardens. Right, a screened gazebo is a favourite feature in the famous backyard. “We had dinner in it the other night,” Locke said, “and during winter, we sit inside with a heater and watch the snow fall.” Other outdoor highlights include a stone patio, water fountain, wood deck and fencing and

more than 100 types of perennials in eight gardens: brown-eyed susan, daisy, daylily, clematis, echinacea, hollyhock, hosta, iris and vine, for example. Many of the flowers are purchased from the Carleton Place

and District Horticultural Society’s annual Perennial Plant Sale. “I love it (backyard),” Locke said. “I come home from work and I feel I am in a different place.” Every summer the couple adds a new garden. Locke also grows herbs and vegetables including beans, onions, peas, peppers and tomatoes. She called the neighbours, who are always stopping by for a visit, excellent.

“We are very lucky,” Locke said. “We are in a great spot.” The quest to be in Country Gardens magazine actually started three years. “Every September the publication holds a contest for amateur gardeners,” Locke explained. At first, unable to upload photos of her backyard to the magazine’s website, Locke found a Facebook page and posted a couple of pictures. “One of their editors saw them and contacted us,” she explained. Representatives from Better Homes and Gardens arrived in Carleton Place on July 28, 2013. Taking pictures and conducting interviews, they spent one-anda-half days there. “The editor called us last November and said we would be in the magazine’s summer issue,” Locke said. “However, we had absolutely no idea that we would be featured on the cover.” Rumour has it that the magazine selects five fronts before

narrowing it down to one, she noted. VanBeek grew up in Hamilton, in southern Ontario, and his parents always had gardens. “My mom had plenty of gardens at home,” Locke noted, “and we grew most of our own food.” She hails from the Eastern Townships in Quebec, and moved to Carleton Place in 2002. The couple met by way of the Good Food Company Café on Bridge Street. Locke was a waitress and VanBeek was a devoted customer. So, what’s next for the couple’s oasis that they share with their two dogs: Hunter and Sam? “We are always working on a project,” Locke said, “and because John would like somewhere to barbecue, we may extend our stone patio.” Going forward, one thing is for sure. Locke’s gardening will continue to nicely compliment VanBeek’s handiwork.

expensive,” said MacLaren. “There are other private electricity distributors in Ontario that are small companies like Mississippi Power in Almonte...We should look at the idea of breaking up Hydro One, privatizing, creating competition and lowering prices.” West told the large crowd the best way to lower energy cost is to use less energy, and the Green plan is to put in $4 billion over four years for retrofits. “Not only would that help reduce your energy cost, it is also expected to create over 50,000 new jobs, many in this riding,” said West. West also wants to look at importing power from Quebec, which he says would save $1 billion per year and wants more local power. Hansen pointed out that each party is just blaming the other for the current situation. “The Liberals blame the Conservatives and they forget the billion dollar scandals, the Liberals plan is back door privatization,” said Hansen. “Privatization, if the Conservatives do it the way the Liberals were doing it, it’s not going to work.” Enerdu The proposed Enerdu hydro electric generating station in Almonte came up a number of

Stevens told the crowd that there had been countless calls/ invitations to MacLaren and he had not shown up once. “So my view on this is we need local representation. We need someone who is going to listen to the community and take the file forward,” said Stevens. “It may be too late because he hasn’t been doing his job. If I am elected on June 12 I will take the file and take it directly to cabinet and see what we can do.” MacLaren countered by saying that he has talked to residents and the proponent, who he says is following due process. “I support industry investing in the community,” said MacLaren. “I do not stand in the way of that as long as they are not hurting the environment or the people.” He pointed out that the project is not new and they are going to be building on an existing facility. “They are going to expand the building and put in a newer and bigger generator that will produce more electricity but they are not raising the water level any higher than it was before,” said MacLaren. “They are just carrying on an existing business to make it more efficient and productive.”

West pointed out that he has also been present during the ongoing debate surrounding the project and questioned how it will affect the Gallagher generating station. He also challenged where the current government has been on the issue. “The Liberal government has done nothing to stop the project from going ahead,” said West. “It’s full steam ahead.” Hansen said that he has heard from a number of people who are against the project and thinks it will produce an extremely small amount of electricity compared to other stations. “It’s going to be very destructive on the environment, on the upper part of the river and it’s going to create a lot of noise downtown and people don’t want it,” said Hansen. Splitting ministry In regards to the splitting of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Rural Affairs, each candidate had varying opinions. MacLaren stated that both are valuable fields but there was nothing wrong with one office. He also pointed out the current minister (Premier Kathleen Wynne) lives in Don Valley. West wanted to form a food and farmers council to consult with, Hansen spoke on reducing the number of ministers and Stevens said she sup-

ported two voices at the table for agriculture. In conclusion, Hansen said while canvassing door-to-door, he is hearing residents are tired of the Liberal scandals and the NDP has a plan that believes in the province. West stated that MacLaren was going to win the election, which saw some chuckles from members of the crowd, but emphasized that if people vote Green it will show MacLaren that his party’s issues matter. MacLaren finished by saying the Conservatives will bal-

ance the budget in two years, create jobs, reduce the red tape for businesses and will cancel the Green Energy Act and the Ontario Power Authority. Stevens stated her party is going to invest in people not job cuts and that the riding needs representation. She then quoted what she called a “shocking” statistic from Hansard stating that MacLaren had not mentioned Almonte, Pakenham, Munster, Constance Bay once at Queen’s Park but had mentioned Quebec 83 times. “We are not in Quebec Jack,

we are in Carleton-Mississippi Mills and we deserve somebody who is going to stand up for our concerns, our issues. You deserve someone who is going to listen to you, who’s going to respect you and who’s going to take your issues forward to Queen’s Park,” said Stevens. “But if you go by Jack’s numbers I guess there are no issues here.” The 2014 provincial election takes place on Thursday, June 12.

Mississippi Mills hires new fire chief, employees By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

News – The Town of Mississippi Mills held a special council meeting on May 27 to deal with a number of personnel issues. The first issue was to accept the resignation letters of Jodi Collins, election assistant and Shawna Stone, town clerk.

The council then entered into a lengthy in-camera session to address the hiring of three new staff members. When council resumed out of camera it passed three bylaws including one to hire Smiths Falls fire prevention officer Pascal Meunier as the new fire chief. After a non-unanimous non-recorded vote, the bylaw was carried.

Meunier replaces long-time firefighter Art Brown and officially starts on June 15. A retirement party will be held for Brown on June 7 at the Almonte Community Centre at 7 p.m. in recognition of his 45 years of service. Also hired were John McMulkin as a junior planner/planning coordinator and Nancy Ziebarth as an election assistant.

NDP candidate champions Green candidate focuses on hard work, incrementalism transportation and school By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – When asked about the incumbent MPP, CarletonMississippi Mills NDP candidate John Hansen often recalls a meeting in March with 20 unemployed computer engineers. It didn’t go well. “Jack MacLaren was asked what he would do for high tech. He basically said nothing,” Hansen said. “He said go into mining or forestry; that’s where the jobs are.” The exchange left a deep impression on Hansen, himself a retired high tech employee. By nature a passionate and driven individual, the perceived indifference to the plight of people in dire straits motivates Hansen to attend little-publicized events in far-off regions of Carleton-Mississippi Mills and talk to as many voters as possible. “I think, I mean I know I have a lot of value to add to complex and serious issues,” Hansen said. “I’m a passionate individual and I work very hard.” On secondary qualities, PC MacLaren and NDP Hansen couldn’t be further apart. MacLaren is a farmer who focuses on libertarian issues such as property rights and the hard-

John Hansen ships faced by seniors on fixed incomes. He won the 2011 election largely on standard Tory messaging that says government can’t do anything as well as the private sector and lower taxes always improve the economy. Hansen has lived in Kanata for about 35 years, and focuses on transit issues and investing in start-ups. While campaigning he meets many young people at the door. They are well educated, have large debts, but can’t find work. At bus stops many say they have a job, but their spouse or adult child either can’t find one or work for minimum wage. Many others say they have work, meaning “consulting”

work, but that often means they don’t have a predictable cash flow, Hansen notes. “I’ve lived in the community for over 30 years. And worked in the community and understand what people have been going through. It’s tough out there in high tech, but also in government and other sectors Ottawa has traditionally created jobs,” Hansen said. However, Hansen doesn’t talk like the prototype New Democrat. Trained in the hardgrinding work of sales, where you rise or fall based on verifiable numbers, he is a champion of hard work, doing more with less. He supports social programs as a means of bolstering the economy. He doesn’t pull at the heartstrings, saying the misfortunate need to be shown compassion for compassion’s sake. He talks about reducing the cost of household bills and bringing good-paying jobs to the riding because it will benefit all. “We are a middle-of-theroad party,” he said. “Not the tax-and-spend Liberals nor the slash-and-burn Conservatives. We’re incrementalists. The debt and deficit are bad, but we can make payments on schedule.”

board amalgamation By ADAM KVETON adam.kveton@metroland.com

News – Green Party candidate Andrew West says his party is a great fit for the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding, with its fiscal conservatism and strong stance on protecting the environment. With a rural agricultural sector as well as an urban centre, “a lot of our plan makes perfect sense (for the riding),” said West. The 39-year-old University of Ottawa law student is making his first run at the ballot, bringing along experience in university politics and volunteer background with various political party campaigns. West does not live in the riding, but grew up in similar circumstances in the Bruce-GreyOwen Sound riding, he said. “People do like fiscal responsibility, but a lot of the community is rural, and there is a lot of agriculture,” he said. “The Green Party is strong on many fronts to do with food and water and agriculture in general.” Protecting the Greenbelt and

Andrew West working to conserve the Beaver Pond area in Kanata are a few of his priorities, he said, while focusing on some of the major issues for residents, like transportation, education and jobs. West said the Green Party would support Ottawa’s light rail transit project, and would set aside $3 billion to fund transit in Ontario. He commented that the city’s most affordable plan, one that would have the Confederation line stop well short of Kanata, is not good enough, and that the number of local bus routes have to increase. If elected, the Green Party would look to reallocate taxes rather than increase them, he

said. That would include closing HST loopholes and doubling the employer health-care tax exemption from $450,000 to $900,000 for businesses with payrolls less than $5 million. The tax exemption would be offset with a one per cent increase in Bay Street corporate taxes and would increase local jobs, said West. The party’s biggest money saver would be amalgamating the public and Catholic school boards. This would save $1.2 to $1.6 billion a year, he said. As for the party’s stance on energy creation, West highlighted a home retrofit grant of $4 million over four years. “The Green Party is all about conservation. So rather than adding new generators and new nuclear plants ... we would rather see money put towards home retrofits to conserve energy,” said West. The Green Party would continue to subsidize green energy creation, but work on keeping things such as windmills at a greater distance from residential areas, he said.

Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital PaʤȲʑnɢPaʤȲʑnɢ-CʑnʤȾeɍ, CʑnʤȾeɍ, Quɪʙiʤɨ DʢʖɃʑɚ

WOW! Technology Right at the Bedside CPDMH now has seven WOWs as well as three wall-mounted devices.

June 2nd was a WOW day at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH). The vision of an integrated electronic patient record got one step closer with the launch of the new Patient Care System (PCS).

Sherrard says the opportunity to collaborate with other local hospitals as part of the Champlain Association of Meditech Partners (CHAMP) project is a key part of CPDMH’s success. The hospitals are working together to develop a regionally shared electronic patient record to support better care.

PCS allows nurses, physiotherapists and dietitians to complete all of their documentation electronically right at the bedside as they monitor each patient. Other care providers can access the patient’s history, care plans, ongoing assessments, as well as lab and diagnostic test results - all in one place.

Congratulations to Valerie Sherrard, Manager, Patient Registration/ Records and Meditech Lead and Laurie Scissons, Nurse Manager and Meditech Clinical Lead - and their entire team!

It means an improved workplace for our staff and more coordinated care for our patients.

“This is an exciting step,” adds Toni Surko, CEO. “It means an improved workplace for our staff and more coordinated care for our patients. It’s all part of how we are shaping a healthy future for our communities.”

The equipment is called a WOW - a ‘workstation on wheels’. “We tested various devices to see what will work best in Carleton Place,” notes Valerie Sherrard, Manager, Patient Registration/ Records and Meditech Lead. “We looked at factors such as the size of the devices, storage options and power supplies.”

“Patients will be able to go to any of the hospitals involved and their patient information will be there,” she explains. “It will result in safer care, a reduction in duplicated tests and quicker reports. Everyone will be using the same best practices.”

Liberal candidate hails from Almonte adam.kveton@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Liberal candidate for Carleton-Mississippi Mills, Rosalyn Stevens, says at the heart of the upcoming election is a choice between the Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan to â&#x20AC;&#x153;cut, slash and burn,â&#x20AC;? and the Liberalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart investments.â&#x20AC;? Stevens signalled that choice as the major issue this election, but added that close to her heart is early childhood education and child care. The 28-year-old Stevens is a native of rural Almonte and has lived elsewhere in the riding. She currently lives in Nepean to be closer to Carleton University where she is studying political science. This is her first time on a ballot. Stevens said she represents a good balance of the rural and urban interests of the riding, something she said is currently missing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This area has been underrepresented and Jack (MacLaren,

Rosalyn Stevens Conservative incumbent) is not a team player,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He picks and chooses parts of the riding that he wants to represent, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not the way to do the job.â&#x20AC;? One of the comments she has heard from residents is that â&#x20AC;&#x153;even staunch conservativesâ&#x20AC;? are not being represented, she said. Job creation and transportation are two of the biggest issues in the riding, she said. Stevens cited the Liberalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; funding support for various businesses, as well as the $220 million pledge

to high-tech giant Cisco over the next 10 years to provide 1,700 jobs, as an example of the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job creation strategy. Stevens contended that most of those 1,700 jobs would be coming to the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make sure that we are investing in business to make sure that those jobs are being created,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Liberals are committed to supporting Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light rail transit plan, said Stevens, with $14 billion in the proposed budget for transportation outside of Toronto and Hamilton. Stevens would not say whether or not this kind of funding and other proposed service improvements to things like geriatric care would increase taxes, though she said it could.Early childhood education and child-care supports are important issues for Stevens, she said. As for how to support those kinds of initiatives, Stevens said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can promise you right now that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something very close to my heart and something that I will look into.â&#x20AC;?

Incumbent not taking voters for granted By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jack MacLaren won the last election by about 9,000 votes, but that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped him from knocking on as many doors in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still more people out there to bother,â&#x20AC;? he said with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not taking any of them for granted.â&#x20AC;? Currently the Progressive Conservative MPP in the riding, MacLaren hails from MacLarenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing on the Ottawa River in West Carleton where his family has held deed since 1826. A gentleman farmer with one and a half employees, 550 acres of corn and soya along with beef cattle, he is also well educated. He has a degree in civil engineering from Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University. MacLaren has a strong interest in private property rights as past president of the Ontario Landowners Association. He won the PC nomination in a controversial race against the incumbent MPP and went on to win in the 2011 election with 50 per cent of the vote. He cites his experiences

Jack MacLaren at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and as head of a provincial rural rights organization as reason for qualifying him to represent the riding. Having travelled around the province meeting with folks from all walks of life and business people at all levels, he feels confident in understanding the problems they face. A husband and father to three nurses, he is opposition critic holding three portfolios: democratic and senate reform, infrastructure, and transportation. He is a standing committee member on justice policy. MacLaren maintains government often does a poor job of serving its residents and too often is interfering in areas it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be involved in. He was prompted to enter politics by a passion to â&#x20AC;&#x153;push

backâ&#x20AC;? against a growing government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are over regulated. Did you know there are 385,000 regulations in the province of Ontario?â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you ever imagine there are 385,000 things you could do wrong?â&#x20AC;? The most important issue facing his constituents, he said, is the escalating cost of living. The solution is for government to control cost it is responsible for: reduce tax on electricity, properties, and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seniors on fixed incomes, lower middle class people, these are the ones that could be taxed out of their homes; See PC A/CP6

News – The views in downtown Almonte will change if a power plant development goes ahead, according to a new study. However, the industrial and power development character of the cultural landscape will not change. The Town of Mississippi Mills council chambers were overflowing on May 27 as residents crowded in to hear the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the Enerdu expansion and re-development project to the town’s Heritage Committee. The HIA was requested by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport to comply with the Class Environmental Assessment for Waterpower Projects (not under the Heritage Act), the other condition was a detailed hydraulic modeling to be submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. Comments on the HIA will be accepted until June 18. The next steps include obtaining all of the final approvals and the goal is to start construction on the project in fall of 2014, with commissioning planned for 2015. Contentworks Inc. was hired to complete the HIA and Julie Harris, president of the company, presented her findings to the committee. In her report she detailed numerous findings on her assess-

ment on what kinds of impacts are likely to occur during and after the construction of the project. “The cultural landscape is dynamic and has already absorbed many changes and can absorb some more, that’s the reality from my point of view,” said Harris. “The Enerdu project is about power production and activity that has been at the core of the community for a long time…the Enerdu project will change the views up the river but the character will not change.” The draft HIA includes 13 recommendations including engaging a qualified architect to provide input into the design of the powerhouse so the appearance is consistent with heritage conservation standard, and any opportunities to lower the intake of the weir to allow water to flow over the top should be considered. Committee chair Jason Gilmore asked if it is the responsibility of the ministry to see that these are required recommendations or if it is up to Enerdu. “I’m sighing because it’s not clear,” said Harris. “Because this is not done under the Ontario Heritage Act, it isn’t clear. One of the purposes of this whole process is to allow time for dialogue to consider the recommendations.” Committee member Delma Devoe strongly challenged if the project will make the landscape stronger or weaker.

“I’m happy you acknowledge and recognized how significant of value these views are to the community…I think it is really clear that there are a lot of significant negative effects for the views, giving the negative impacts on the view and that we all agree its critical, cannot the deduction be logically made the changes made to the landscape will make it weaker,” said Devoe to a large round of applause from the gallery. Harris responded by stating that the landscape will never be frozen in time and will continuously be changing, a number of people in the crowd started to laugh during her response. “It’s going to be changing over time. The issue is if this project will be so damaging it should be stopped, we always look at these things when looking at a heritage environment,” said Harris. “Something is going to change on that site overtime, so do you try and freeze it or stop power production on that site? There are a lot of changes that are going to happen over time. By admitting that change is a part of a landscape that is evolving doesn’t mean that you want to freeze everything in time and that is the reality. I know it’s not the pleasant reality but do I think it will have some negative impacts, absolutely, but it’s not just yes or no, it’s an organic thing.” Devoe responded by asking if, at this time, what will make

the landscape character weaker couldn’t be deduced. “People will disagree but in my opinion, this is a landscape that is strongly industrial, historically and I don’t see it weakening that industrial character at all,” said Harris. Comments can be submitted to Muriel Kim from BluMetric Environmental Inc. via email: mkim@ blumetric.ca and to Harris at: info@contentworks.ca. The entire HIA can be found on the Town of Mississippi Mills website (www.mississippimills. ca) under the town hall section/ committees agendas and minutes.

that are being taxed out of their homes.” Asked which aspects of his party’s platform will be most important to voters in the riding, MacLaren pointed to the tackling of “wasteful spending” and rising public debt and deficit. He noted the Liberal government “gave away” $5.7 billion to 39 businesses in the 27 days before the election was called. He doesn’t believe those who called it an investment. “An investment? It was an investment in getting themselves re-elected,” MacLaren said.

Waterside Retirement Community commemorates five years tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Perth town crier Brent McLaren gave an official opening cry to start the festivities marking the fifth anniversary of Waterside Retirement Community (WRC). Overlooking the Mississippi River and nestled alongside the Trans-Canada Trail, WRC in Carleton Place is an active living and wellness rental retirement destination. WRC, operated by V!VA Retirement Communities (VRC), opened its doors in December 2008. WRC community director Denise Tessier welcomed special guests including mayor Wendy LeBlanc, VRC president Eli Marder and director of operations Michelle Chisholm, Carleton Place Senior of the Year Carol Dryburgh, WRC community and team members, family and friends on May 29. “Reaching a fifth anniversary milestone is a momentous occasion,” Tessier said, “and this is especially true for us here at Waterside, as we are the first V!VA retirement community to do so.” Afternoon festivities included musical entertainment, speeches, cake, alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails, hors d’ oeuvres, photo fun booth, balloon release, candy bar, flash mob and much more. Gazebo On May 13, 2009 the late Jordan Bernamoff, founder of V!VA Retirement Communities, celebrated the official grand opening of WRC with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. Nearly two years later, on

Feb. 16, 2011, Bernamoff passed away after a short battle with cancer. “We are not only here to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Waterside Retirement Community, but to dedicate a gazebo in honour and memory of Jordan,” Marder said last week. The VRC president noted Bernamoff had a vision for changing the retirement industry. He believed every retirement community should be built for real people. “This gazebo should be a reminder for everyone, as it is to me, of the time that Jordan spent making everyone’s day great,” Marder said, “and just as importantly, the passion he brought to each day. Tessier commented: “Jordan always said that ‘life was about the journey, not the destination’.” A plaque will be affixed to the gazebo.

V!VA’s team members. “They understand and embrace what we are trying to do in this industry,” he said. LeBlanc called WRC such an important part of Carleton Place. “Not only is it an imposing building in a very special area of our town, but it means a lot to our residents,” she said. The mayor noted the W in Waterside stands for welcoming.

LeBlanc read a special poem. It’s one she always reads at birthdays and anniversaries. It is as follows: “Count your garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall; Count your days by golden hours don’t remember clouds at See FIVE page A/CP10

A stark election choice in LFLA

ditorial – The choice could not be more clear. The candidates made sure of it. At the all-candidates debate for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington held at Carleton Place town hall last week, hosted by the local chamber of commerce, there were many things in abundance, from rhetoric to accusations to denials. The one thing in short supply was ambiguity. The four candidates – incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP Randy Hillier, Liberal David MacDonald, New Democrat David Parkhill and Green Cam Mather – all staked out their own political ground, sometimes overlapping – sometimes miles apart. While Hillier is the incumbent, he has sat on the opposition benches for the last seven years, so the heavy lifting fell to MacDonald, having to both defend the good, and distance himself from the bad, of the last decade of Liberal rule. On the one hand, he tried to take credit for good points like all-day kindergarten, while openly admitting that workers in the day care sector were unintended victims of the plan. But then, annoyingly, he tried to distance himself from Liberal scandals, mentioning more than

once that he was not part of the government at the time, essentially, trying to have it both ways. Hillier was not immune from this either. He seemed to revel in making hay of the Liberals’ misfortunes, much of it of their own making. However, he too had to temper his remarks on education and health care, with memories of the Harris government’s fights with teachers, and cuts to nurses and closing hospitals still in the minds of voters. It is interesting that Hillier chastised the Liberals for passing Bill 115, which imposed contracts on some school boards – but failed to mention that his own party voted with the Liberals to get it passed. Deficit reduction offered a stark look at the party platforms for taming the province’s runaway finances. Hillier talked up his proposed tax and expenditure limitation bill. Parkhill, however, set himself apart saying that government needs the “flexibility” to deal with economic crises like the Great Depression. MacDonald said that the province was on its way to being back in the black by 2018, while Mather said he would support balanced budget legislation. On health care, another stark example. Hillier

supported publicly funded health care – for the most part, but left the door open for more choice, as he calls it, in the system, allowing for more private investment in the system. It is his belief that bureaucrats should not be making all health care decisions, but, rather, more should be left up to individual choice. Interestingly, Mather said he favoured more public-private partnerships, while Parkhill vowed to keep public health care public. MacDonald crowed about his party’s increase in funding to all sectors of health care, from more hospitals and nurses to more home care money, but steered clear of how the massive jump in health care spending could be sustained. All four men bring something positive to the table. Hillier is the go-to guy for petitions, giving voice to frustration, and tabling more bills – by his own account – than any other MPP. There is no doubting his passion. He is to be commended for giving voice to those frustrated over high electricity prices, probing the propane shortage this past winter, and tapping into discontent over wayward politicians over his recall legislation. As for MacDonald, his is exactly the type of sober, intelligent public servant you would want running the day-to-day administration of your shop. No drama, no surprises, just the hard networking and, as Oprah says, doing the work

needed to get the job done. MacDonald is to be commended for arranging crucial face-to-face meetings between delegations from the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital and Premier Kathleen Wynne and Health and Long-Term Care Minister Deb Matthews about the proposed new hospital. David Parkhill brings a personal approach to politics – having two children with autism, he sees firsthand how this province can fail its students, especially those with special needs. Working in the health care field, he also sees the deficiencies in our system, and wants to make it better. We need the NDP in this province, to continue to have that third choice, as Queen’s Park’s conscience. Green Party candidate Cam Mather practices what he preaches, growing organic food, and living off of the energy grid. We are not advocating which candidate to vote for next Thursday, June 12. But we do encourage you to vote. And we will give the final word to Mather, who may well have had the quote of the debate: “I am concerned about doing the right thing,” he said on climate change, though he well could have been speaking on many issues. “You don’t want to hear about it. But I will do something about it. I hope you vote for me. But I don’t care if you like me.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Consider dog’s barking behaviour Male Indigo Bunting captured at local feeder DEAR EDITOR: Summer has officially arrived and with it the perpetual problem of annoyingly loud dogs left outside to bark for hours on end. I do not know if other Almonte neighbourhoods have yet experienced this aggravation but certainly my neighbourhood has on several occasions. It is beyond my understanding how inconsiderate dog owners can either sit in their home and ignore their barking dog or else leave the dog outside and go away from the house for an extended period of time with no thought of the aggravation to their neighbours. I am certain many neighbours of such boorish behaving individuals want to notify the local bylaw office but elect not to because they believe it will create only

friction in their neighbourhood. Friction or not, a dog’s incessant barking is a sure fire way to ruin a pleasant afternoon sitting outside. On May 31, my wife and I were exposed to the nonstop yapping of a little dog somewhere in our neighbourhood. Just as we came inside the dog stopped yelping and peace returned for all. If you are a dog owner stop and think before putting your pet outside and tuning yourself out. Take a moment to focus on your dog’s behaviour and if it is barking be courteous enough to your neighbours to bring the dog inside. Let your dog serenade you inside and limit his annoying behaviour to your own home. Al Jones Almonte

Reader gives kudos to Little’s Automotive DEAR EDITOR: I often boast of local services that achieve great goals. It is good to recognize them for their efforts in making customer satisfaction a top priority, along with adding more services which they can offer us and to let them know they are appreciated for putting in the time for doing so. Little’s Automotive in Carleton Place has reached such a goal. Val Biasotto owner of Little’s has recently been approved and is now a member of the Used Car Dealer Association (UCDA). From what I understand UCDA gives these licences out with great discretion and they are not easily obtained. I am so proud to know that a service in our own back yard has become one of the elite few. Along with great customer service Little’s now can offer a fine selection of affordable

vehicles to folks like myself who do not purchase expensive new cars. One thing about Little’s that has never changed is their great desire to expand their services and have each and every customer leave completely satisfied. This is a goal they reach continually in my opinion. They are a business with a huge heart, honest, caring and a true desire to do the very best they can. I would just like to send out a sincere and heartfelt congratulations to Val and his staff on becoming a member of the Used Car Dealer Association and wish you great success on this new endeavour. If you know of a business that has made a positive impact in your life, achieved a goal, then let them know. Fran Bryerton Carleton Place

Georgina Doe and Ray drove up to Carbine Road, and both heard the Whip-poor-wills and Thrushes again on May 24. Georgina and I drove up there May 25, but only one Whip-poor-will and Veerys were heard. The other thrushes were silent. In Carleton Place, Marion Miller has a large Canada Goose family, with 12 youngsters, that visit her home. Lots of American Goldfinch and a White-throated Sparrow also visit.

lane. Two chicks scurried across, the third stayed put, despite soft buzzy sounds from mother. Judy was able to come close enough to nudge the chick, and it scooted over to mom. In another area of the Mills, John Connelly has a male In-

digo Bunting that comes regularly to a feeder. He was able to take some good photos of the bird and one accompanies this column. He also noticed a Baltimore Oriole on apple trees on Tatlock Road, south of Clayton. Cliff and I conducted the 24hour Baillie Birdathon, Thanks to all our sponsors. Seventy per cent of the money goes to Bird Studies Canada, and 30 per cent goes to the Nature Fund Bursary. Please call Lynda at 613-2565013 or email bennett@magma.ca with bird reports.

Chilling puppets descend on local museum for eerie night of fun June 13 tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday the 13th will be a night of spooky and kooky puppet fun in Almonte. The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum and Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival are welcoming Doc Wuthergloom and his Haunted Medicine Show to the museum on June 13. The Doc sent a special message to the citizens of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spirit-Choked Enclave of Almonte.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too long you have suffered from monsters under your bed, demons in your closets, and spectres in you potato cellars. Ghouls lurk hidden in every corner, waiting to drag you

into dull malaise with their perfidious supernatural malfeasance!â&#x20AC;? Wuthergloom said in his letter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But never fear! Salvation is close at hand! Merely attending my Haunted Medicine Show on June 13 is guaranteed to rid your unhappy existence of goblins, gremlins, ghosts, ghouls, and garmonbosia!â&#x20AC;? Wuthergloom, is portrayed by Eric Woolfe, who will perform with more than 20 hand and rod puppets, razor blades, and an eternally cursed 142-year-old travelling exorcist. In a release on the event Woolfe calls Almonte the very mecca of Canadian puppetry and is thrilled to be performing here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Haunted Medicine Show is a creepy, creeky, ghost story in the

tradition of the travelling pitchmen from days gone by,â&#x20AC;? stated Woolfe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It combines puppetry, storytelling, parlour magic and a ghoulish sense of macabre fun. And I look forward to bringing it to you all.â&#x20AC;? Puppets Up! artistic director Noreen Young describes him as quite a character. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very unusual, funny and dark,â&#x20AC;? said Young. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of crazy humour and audience participation. He puts razor blades in his mouth, has crazy puppets, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bizarre, definitely for an adult audience.â&#x20AC;? Michael Rikley-Lancaster, executive director/curator at Mississippi Valley Textile Museum explained that the show is a fundraiser with the

festival, a 50-50 split; he thinks it will be an exciting event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun, unique experience to see an artist of his calibre,â&#x20AC;? said Rikley-Lancaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting celebration of art, textiles in the costumes and to celebrate the great things the community has to offer, with puppets and the museum.â&#x20AC;? Although the spooky date wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planned, it just ended up working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noreen and I are always talking about working together and we had Friday the 13th open and it ended up just being a perfect weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Rikley-Lancaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gave him options and it just fit into place,â&#x20AC;? added Young. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hook for promotion, it makes it unique. The gallery in the museum

fits itself to that atmosphere with the layered walls. We hope to do more shows at the museum leading up to the festival and this just seemed like a perfect opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Tickets are $20 and are available at the museum (3 Rosamond Street East) and at Baker Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (73 Little Bridge Street). Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Young reminds people that the show is suitable for an adult audience of 16-years-old or older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He sings, the puppets sing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of kooky,â&#x20AC;? said Young. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen many puppet shows like his, I think everyone will enjoy it but you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have your pants scared off.â&#x20AC;?

The Hub celebrates 40 years as staple in community akulp@perfprint.ca

Community – It’s hard to imagine Almonte’s downtown without The Hub serving as its anchor. Since 1974, Almonte Community Co-ordinators has been supporting the local community through its nearly new shop, The Hub (118 Mill Street), and on May 30, they celebrated their 40th birthday in style: with a sale. In appreciation of their dedicated customers, that entire day, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., every item in store was 40-cents. The infamous birthday sale is something that’s been going on for a number of years now, said The Hub treasurer Mary Lou Souter. “On our 25th anniversary, we had a sale and decided to make everything the amount of your birthday and since then, it’s gone up a penny every year and here we are rounded off again at 40 cents,” she stated. “This birthday sale really is the best,” remarked Glenda Jones, The Hub’s president. “It’s a time when people come from all over the place and it just amazes me.” The Hub currently has a membership of approximately 150 members who are dedicated volunteers. Jean Moore, who has been volunteering on Tuesday afternoons at The Hub for the last 10 years, was chosen to cut the special 40th birthday cake. “It’s gone by so fast,” Moore said of her time volunteering with the organization. “I enjoy it so much.” “I think it’s great to have people come from all over and they say we have the best items. I think they’re right,” she added. History There were 14 founding members of Almonte Community Coordinators back in 1974 when talks were being held to get The Hub. Two of them, Fern Martin and Marg Sabourin, were at the May 30 celebration and reminisced. “I think it’s truly amazing that in 1974, the men in this town said it (Hub) would never last because a group of 14 women can’t get along. They were sitting in the Superior (restaurant) pronouncing our demise,” Martin laughed. “Now it’s 40 years later, and this

place is the centre of the community.” Sabourin noted that the organization’s goal was always to “help people that needed help.” “It shouldn’t cost a million dollars to dress someone,” she said. The two women are proud of how every donation of clothing or item that comes to The Hub is recycled. If it isn’t suitable to go out on the floor, The Hub works with secondary organizations who can use the materials. “Everything is basically used,” Martin said. “It (The Hub) has done its job,” Sabourin remarked. “And more,” added Martin. “There is so much money that goes back into the community…” Close to $60,000 was raised last year alone that went back into the community through donations to organizations such as the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum; United Way Lanark County; Almonte General Hospital; Lanark County Community Justice; Lanark County Interval House and the Lanark County Food Bank. Support also went to local schools and student bursaries and a large chunk ($39,000) went to help The Hub support its secondary project, the Hub Hospice, which is now on its own. “Projects like the funding of the Hub Hospice, when we are able to give back to the community in huge measure, it shows what we can do as a group together,” Jones said. The popularity of The Hub led to the addition of a second location Rebound, 10 years ago. Located at 14 Industrial Avenue, it features used furniture, household décor, small appliances and electronics, and also serves as an electronic waste depot. It has outgrown its previous location twice in the past decade and moved to its new spot this past winter. In addition to the birthday sale, The Hub organizers also took the opportunity that day to make a $3,500 donation to the Almonte Skate Park Committee. Jones said it represents a week’s profits from the thrift shop. “We worked with (the skate park committee) so they could encourage people to shop during that week and on the weekend, they had demonstrations and a barbecue. It was a nice time,” she stated. “When we can do part-

Above, during the event, a donation of $3,500 was also made to the Almonte Skate Park Committee.

International Puppet Festival, which will also mark a decade this year, and a promotional spot for television was filmed.

The Hub president Glenda Jones welcomes supporters to the birthday celebration.

My neck pulls and pains when I turn my head to one side. Is this something I am going to have to learn to live with or can you help? I am worried about passing my Vehicle License exam. Great question this week and I understand why you are worried.

your neck and holding this position for a long time, for example.

Many people are struggling with maintaining a normal movement in their neck. This lack of movement shows up mostly when you attempt to look over your shoulder. We see adults as well as infants with this problem also known as ‘wry neck’.

If your neck pain has been a recurring, long-standing problem, it can be caused by a number of problems like degeneration or decay within the upper spine and neck, a disc problem or even a more serious pathology.

Adults start to worry about their ability to turn right and left when driving becomes more difﬁcult. Checking the blind spot and backing the car out of a driveway or parking spot all require a full range of motion in the neck.

June is Bicycle Month in Mississippi Mills; numerous events planned tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – Cyclists of all ages, it’s time to get your gears going, strap on your helmets and hit the streets. It’s June and that means it’s time for the sixth annual Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month and there are a number of local events planned to get residents to experience the town by bike. Jeff Mills and Bob Woods are the cochairs for Bicycle Month and they are both looking forward to what the events have to offer. “I think it hits a whole bunch of levels,” explained Mills. “There is global warming, childhood obesity, you can choose to exercise every day and you can choose to bike over taking a car a number of times!” Mills explained that getting on a bike also takes into effect ‘the Human Scale.’ “You can get outside, ride and smell the flowers!” he said. Woods explained the events help address two reasons why more people don’t cycle. “We are putting on these events because the two things that prevent people from cycling are they feel alone or mechanical problems,’ said Woods. “We are organizing these events and saying to people come on out, you won’t be alone and with a group there’s always someone to help.” They have also produced a local bike map that is bilingual so bikers can see what there is to offer in town. “We are reaching out beyond locals,” said Mills. “This is a means to an end. We hope to be declared a Bicycle Friendly Community, have greater infrastructure, safer roads and don’t ever forget the economic impact for tourists as well.” One event that runs the entire month is the Silver Chain Challenge, which is a friendly competition between Renfrew County and Lanark County where residents log each kilometer they bike over the month of June. The challenge is a partnership between the Physical Activity Network Renfrew County, Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. The goal of the challenge is to ‘inspire and promote more active and healthier communities.’ “People can log in and put in their kilometres. It’s an appreciative challenge,” said Mills. “We give extra points when people choose their bike over their car, we reward good behavior.” To participate in the challenge visit: http://www.silverchainchallenge.ca/.

As of press time, Lanark County has a slight lead over Renfrew County with 413.3 km biked versus 411.6 km, with Mississippi Mills logging 325.3 km. One of the most popular events is Birders on Bikes on June 8 at 8:30 a.m. leaving from the rear parking lot of Heritage Court (14 Mill Street) hosted by Gilligallou Bird Store in Almonte. “We have had Birders on Bikes since the start and some years they have collectively seen 75 species of birds,” said

Mills. “You bring your lunch, binoculars and it’s just a nice leisurely pursuit enjoying the back roads of Mississippi Mills.” A new event this year is Chicks on Mountain Bikes, a women’s only event June 14 at 10 a.m. It will start at the Almonte Riverside Trail at Strathburn Street and riders will cycle along the Mississippi River, along the trail, to the Mill of Kintail and back again for a total of 14 km and is open to

all skill and experience levels. “It’s to try and help women who might be interested to feel less intimidated. A local resident came forward, and it’s sponsored by Vamos Outdoors and we are hoping it will gain some traction,” said Woods. One of the key events for the month is the Tour de Mississippi Mills, a selfguided tour, ranging from 18 to 100 km, on June 21 starting at Coady’s Garage (30 Mill Street).

Two wheels for four-legged friends June 14 in Almonte By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you love animals, motorcycles, or both, get ready to ride to help felines. Now in its fifth year, Ride for Rescue Cats goes next Saturday, June 14, in memory of Little Jack, and all proceeds benefit Country Cat Sanctuary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The call to rescue Little Jack, an eight-week-old kitten, came too late, and unfortunately he never got an opportunity to be loved by a family,â&#x20AC;? event organizer Fran Bryerton said. Located in the Kemptville area, Country Cat Sanctuary is home to tortured and abandoned cats and kittens. It is a non-profit, registered charity. Ride for Rescue Cats leaves Levi Home Hardware Building Centre in Almonte at 10 a.m. Registration is from 9 to 9:45 a.m., or participants can pre-register by phone (613256-3726) or email (fluffyb@ xplornet.com). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tommy Levi is once again supporting this ride by allowing us to set up in his parking lot,â&#x20AC;? Bryerton said. The cost to participate is $20 for riders and $10 for passengers, or free with $50 in pledges. Ride for Rescue Cats is open to all bikes, riders and clubs, and it offers a great rural, scenic route with lots of different roads to suit everybody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also welcome folks in cars to come along and take

part,â&#x20AC;? Bryerton noted. Although this is a rain or shine event, Bryerton is hopeful for sunny skies and a great day of safe riding. Returning to Almonte after the ride (typically around 1 p.m.), participants enjoy a light lunch, and plenty of prizes will be handed out. The top two riders with the most pledges receive unique, hand carved awards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to keep until next year. The pieces are by Daniel Kuryliak. Support needed If ever there was a time to support rescued felines in need, it is now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each and every day there are felines tossed out like yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garbage left to survive on their own,â&#x20AC;? Bryerton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For that reason fundraising dollars are needed more now than ever to help with ongoing medical needs and spaying and neutering.â&#x20AC;? When Mystery arrived at Country Cat Sanctuary she was a bag of bones and needed to have her leg amputated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily, she made a full recovery and was adopted into a very loving home,â&#x20AC;? Bryerton said. It takes a special type of person to rescue a cat that has been left abandoned in an empty house for five weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They find it emaciated, dehydrated and barely able to stand,â&#x20AC;? Bryrton said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and surprisingly, the animal is still

happy to see a human and welcomes the help.â&#x20AC;? In another instance a cat had its eye poked out and its body cut with a sharp object. It was left on the roadside to die. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am sure their heart breaks every time they are called to do a rescue and the feline is too far gone,â&#x20AC;? Bryerton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only good thing is that these felines are lovingly held, comforted with soft words and are not alone when they pass on,â&#x20AC;? she continued. Individuals unable to participate in Ride for Rescue Cats can help in other ways: drop off a donation on ride day, adopt one of the many cats waiting for a second chance in life, sponsor a feline in need or donate food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are so inclined to adopt one of the many rescues, you will never find a cat more loving, as they are just grateful to be alive,â&#x20AC;? Bryerton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Felines are one of the most forgiving creatures after suffering horrendous abuse and have proven to be the most devoted pets.â&#x20AC;? For information about the work the Country Cat Rescue does, please visit them online at: www.countrycatrescue. com. Levi Home Hardware Building Centre is located at 476 Ottawa St.

R0012736605_0605

As Mayor of the Town of Carleton Place, I am concerned about the following provincial issues and how they impact the citizens of our growing community: 1. We need, want, and deserve a new hospital in our community.The Champlain LHIN fully endorsed and supported the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital’s proposal for a Health Hub in June 2012. How are you going to support this community priority moving forward? 2. The change to a full-day Kindergarten program in Ontario schools caused significant financial problems for both municipally- and privately-owned day cares, leading to increased fees for families as well as daycare closures. What solutions do you have that will ensure daycares operate in a financially viable manner without impacting the quality and safety of care provided? 3. Carleton Place has made significant strategic investments in its infrastructure in the past. Taxpayers have paid directly for the majority of this work even though provincial infrastructure grants are awarded to communities who have not made the same investments. We need predictable funding grants. What changes to this system do you propose? 4. Over the past five years, a group of politicians and citizens, recognizing the need, have worked diligently to increase the number of units available in Carleton Place for reasonably-priced Seniors’ Housing. What incentives do you propose to encourage Seniors’ Housing? 5. The residents of Carleton Place are satisfied with the quality of service provided by the Ontario Provincial Police. They are not satisfied with the unfairness of the billing model, with some communities including our own, paying hundreds of dollars more per household than other communities. What is your plan to address this unfair situation? I will post the questions and responses of the candidates on my website. For those wishing a paper copy, please contact me at 613-253-0019.

The Watering Restrictions By-law 04-14 is designed to regulate and control the usage of water, within the Almonte Ward, in the hot summer months. Between May 1st and September 30th each year there are limitations on who can water and at what time. Odd number houses may water on odd calendar days and even numbered houses may water on even numbered days.

honours; while the Cy Bryce Hockey and Scholastic Ability Award went to Larry Smith. The award also included a $500 bursary from TD Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He spent countless hours at home (working on his education) and achieved an 83 per cent averageâ&#x20AC;Śhe deserves everything he gets in the future,â&#x20AC;? Clarke remarked. The Jenna Lang trophy for top graduating player was bestowed upon Ghantous, who Clarke joked may someday have a career in fashion design due to his snappy suits. Most gentlemanly player went to Brett Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Andrea and Devin Campbell was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most underrated player. The Coaches Award for the player who comes to the rink everyday and gives his all was presented to Luke Edwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played for us for three years and he literally hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said one word about anything. When he struggles or is playing well, his mood is always the same,â&#x20AC;? Clarke said. Dwayne Sawyer, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment manager, was named Volunteer of the Year. McVeigh made history all on his own during the evening as the last member to play for the team since its inception as a Junior A club five years ago. To that end, Clarke announced a new award in his honour: the Anthony McVeigh Heart and Soul Award, given to â&#x20AC;&#x153;a person who just does everything that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to do on and off the ice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Anthony McVeighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach,â&#x20AC;? said Clarke, who mentioned that he is heading to Utica College in New York in the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an unbelievable person and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I got to know you.â&#x20AC;? As the evening wound down, Gary McGee, vice-president of hockey operations for the club, talked about the storied season the Canadians had just concluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows who the Carleton Place Canadians are now, the question is, how did this happen? Because of you: the players, coaching staff, supporters, parents, billets for players, etc.,â&#x20AC;? Clarke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without you, there is a considerable piece missing from the puzzle and I thank you allâ&#x20AC;ŚYouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excellent hockey players but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even better human beings.â&#x20AC;? Final last words came from Clarke himself, who admitted that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how this season could be topped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚWe spent 276 days together and have had a few tiffs here and there, but you have forever changed my life and I thank all of you guys for making me a champion with you,â&#x20AC;? he concluded.

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There were many emotions hanging in the air at the Carleton Place Arena May 21 for the Carleton Place Canadians Junior A year-end awards banquet. While there was a somber note for the players saying goodbye, there was an excitement on just how the team can build on the historic season they laid down this year. Following a catered dinner in the arenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper hall attended by council representatives, supporters and family members, the awards portion of the evening got under way, which saw scoring superstar Andy Sturtz scoop up a handful of awards, including Most Valuable Player (MVP), Molson 3 Stars trophy, scoring leader, and Fan Favourite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Most Valuable Player is not just based on hockey, but how people conduct themselves on and off the ice,â&#x20AC;? Clarke said of his reason for naming Sturtz the MVP and noted his volunteerism done outside the team. The Central Canada Hockey League and Fred Page Cup champion teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, general manager and head coach, Jason Clarke took a few moments to properly thank each of the players on the Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roster with a special team poster highlighting their success. Guillaume Therienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solid goaltending helped make the Canadians a force to be reckoned with during their run to the RBC Cup final; Larry Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication on and off the ice earned him the RBC Scholastic Award; captain Elias Ghantous, who Clarke calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;true gentleman,â&#x20AC;? gave the team the strong leadership it needed; and late-season addition Anthony Latina gave the team his best hockey in the playoffs. Hometown boy Stephen Baylis, of Carleton Place, got a standing ovation from his teammates when Clarke announced him as the captain of the Canadians next season. Baylis also earned the most improved player award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Stephen) is the ultimate, ultimate, ultimate competitor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen anyone who hates to lose more than I do,â&#x20AC;? Clarke joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will see this guy play on TV one day and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen anyone that good at killing penalties. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an absolute great kid and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be prouder to announce that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the captain of our hockey club next year.â&#x20AC;? Taped around the hall were messages of support for the Canadians and Rick Schnaufer, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of game day operations, said that while guests may have thought they were done by local schools, the grade two and three classes at Ellison Elementary School in Vernon, British Columbia, are responsible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They picked us (Canadians) to follow and made us posters and we brought them back for people to look at,â&#x20AC;? Schnaufer explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(While in Vernon) we were able to spend a morning where we went to the school and the players played with kids outside and were invited into the library to sign autographs. It was really, really niceâ&#x20AC;Ś and a great experience for everybody.â&#x20AC;? Kelly Summers, star defenceman who is expected to be drafted into the National Hockey League this summer, was named the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top blueliner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a decision that to me, was a very, very tough one. I think we could have five winners as we had the deepest line in the league,â&#x20AC;? Clarke commented. For the first time ever, Vinny Post and Craig Pefley shared Rookie of the Year

During the open house Hyacinth Chatterton, left, was presented the Bruce Childs Community Club award from the Ontario Tennis Association in recognition of outstanding contribution to the Almonte Club, from Almonte Tennis Club president Chris Barlow. challenge (dual level). On the list as well is the everpopular interclub-activity, where members from various clubs in the area are invited to join ATC members for weekly round robins. Partway through Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, a special award from the Ontario Tennis Association (OTA) was presented at courtside by Barlow (club president) to Chatterton (club pro). This Bruce Childs Community Club Award is presented by the OTA in recognition of outstanding contribution to community tennis. On behalf of the club, Barlow expressed much appreciation for Chattertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing role in bringing many innovations to ATCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adult program over the

past few years. Approximately 40 attendees visited the ATCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open house last Saturday, many participated in the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s round robins, and several adult members and their families either joined the club, or renewed their memberships. The club maintains an important partnership with the Town of Mississippi Mills, and with their ongoing assistance and co-operation, a practice board will soon be in place once again next to court three. Everyone is invited to visit the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www. almontetennisclub.ca, not only to receive an overview of what is being offered, but also to follow the user-friendly instructions to join the club for the 2014 season.

Carleton Place and Beckwith Music Society plan June 7 gala concert Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As president of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Music Society, I am proud to announce that the first music festival in Carleton Place and Beckwith

was successfully conducted Tuesday and Wednesday, May 27 and 28 in the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium and in Beckwith Council Chambers.

Puppet workshop set for June 7 in Almonte Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Puppets Up! festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop series is one of the finest in all of North America. Partnering with JB Arts in Almonte (64 Mill Street), the next workshop will focus on production and creation. On June 7 professional television puppeteer and puppet builder Trish Leeper will offer â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Performing Puppets for TV or YouTube.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; With a background in mime, movement, mask and theatre Leeper began her career as a puppeteer playing Ma Gorg in the TV series Fraggle Rock. Since then, she has worked extensively with Jim Hensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muppets on The Jim Henson Hour, numerous Muppet Specials and ongoing characters for Sesame Street/Sesame Park. In her entertaining workshop, Leeper will introduce

students to television puppetry by teaching the art of movement and character interpretation for the camera. Students will work with a television monitor and learn how to manipulate puppets in front of a television camera. Bring your own puppet or use one provided. In no time, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how to produce your own puppet skits for video and YouTube. The class is intended for adults and is limited to 10 participants at a cost of $65 per student. Class starts at 10 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m., located at JB Arts 64 Mill Street, Almonte. To register or for more information, call 613-2203005 or visit https:/bookwhen.com/jbarts.

The festival was adjudicated by Steven Fielder of Barrie, who remarked on the high quality of the music teaching in the area, judged by the performance of local students. Fielder has adjudicated in all parts of Canada and last weekend, following the Carleton

Place and Beckwith Music Festival, travelled to Nova Scotia to adjudicate that provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival. On Saturday, June 7 at 7 p.m. the winning student from the Carleton Place and Beckwith Music Festival will be playing at a gala con-

cert in the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium. Everybody is welcome. For more information, call Joy Hodgkinson at 613-253-1454. Submitted by Joy Hodgkinson, president, Carleton Place and Beckwith Music Society.

Some of the thousands of daffodils that have lined Highway 29 this Spring are pictured above, the flowers were planted by volunteers from the town’s Beautification committee. She reminds people that if they do want to plant some of their own bulbs to find a spot that is not mowed. Residents can even plant spent blooms as well. She encourages people not to throw them out, but to hang on to them until planting season. The project would not be possible without the efforts of a

number of volunteers. “Thank heavens for our volunteers. It’s not an easy job, you have to dig down six inches, and it’s a fair amount of work. You can plant 100 bulbs in an hour, which is pretty significant. We need more volunteers to help and every hour is appreciated,” Martin said.

If you do have spent bulbs, or would like to donate bulbs to the project drop them off at the culture and recreation office in the Almonte Old Town Hall or contact Tiffany MacLaren, community economic and cultural co-ordinator, at tmaclaren@mississippimills.ca or 613-256-1077 ext. 22.

Community – Volunteerism is blooming in Mississippi Mills. Did you notice the many beautiful daffodils that lined the banks of Highway 29 this spring? If you are lucky you can still see a glimpse of the thousands of bulbs that have bloomed thanks to hours of volunteer hours. The Town of Mississippi Mills Beautification Committee has planted approximately 6,000 bulbs over the last four years on the Indian River hill, Cedar Hill corner and a few in Blakeney, led by volunteer chair Fern Martin and Ed Lawrence. “We started with 400 the first year and that didn’t seem much so then we did 600, 2,000 and then last year we planted 3,000. That seemed better,” said Martin. “That was a lot of digging but we are getting a lot of notice this year. They have really made an impact this year. With the long winter we had we really needed to see them!” One thing that has saddened Martin is that people are clipping the flowers and taking away the true meaning of the project. “The idea is for the community to enjoy them and not on someone’s dining room table,” said Martin. The goal is to plant them all along Highway 29, but she admits that is a long way. “I am really hoping people will like the daffodils and start a patch of their own,” said Martin.

Plenty of excitement this June at Full Circle Theatre Arts – Even though Vacant House Theatre are Otttawa’s newest professional theatre company who have already had a solid, well-received hit with their very first production, the Leah Cherniak, Robert Morgan, Martha Ross comedy, The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine; when they bring that show to BarnDoor Productions’ Full Circle Theatre in Perth this Friday (June 6), they will be stepping onto a stage (as a company) for the first time! The paradox of that is that The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine is a play about a young couple living in a cramped basement apartment, which Vacant House Theatre performed last April in Ottawa – in a cramped basement! Moving onto a stage makes for a very different experience for both performers and audience, and the young troupe are excited to find out what those differences will be. That Vacant House is up to the challenge is evident from the reviews of their first production: “This is a very special theatre experience, folks, and I definitely urge you to strap on your backpack...for (an) outing you won’t soon forget,” said Kevin Reid, writing in The Visitorium blog. Valerie Cardinal, On Stage Ottawa said “... a charming tale, alternately touching, hilarious and absurd. I think Leah Cherniak, Robert Morgan and Martha Ross’s script can rightfully be called a modern Canadian theatre classic.” The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine is about a young couple learning to live with each other and Vacant House’s production of it is funny, exciting and captivating. Featuring a cast of young regional professionals, including Perth’s own Alexis Scott who has previously appeared on BarnDoor Productions’ stages in The Chimes and Dark of the Moon, it’s a unique opportunity to see a Canadian classic in a fresh and funny staging by up and coming new talent. The Anger In Ernest And ErnesSubmitted photo tine runs for three performances only, Friday, June 6, Saturday, June 7 at 8 Karina Milech and Patrick Kelly are Ernestine and Er- production The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine to p.m. and Sunday, June 8 at 2 p.m. at nest when Vacant House Theatre brings the Ottawa Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, June 6, 7 and 8 only.

Full Circle Theatre. Hard on that, BarnDoor Productions will launch an event-filled summer at Full Circle Theatre the very next Friday. That’s right, June 13, which is an appropriate and auspicious date for the show that is opening, the classic thriller Gaslight. Patrick Hamilton’s 1936 script is a tense, engrossing psychological thriller that made stars of Vincent Price and Angela Lansbury. It’s a tale of a woman’s descent into madness – but why and how is a story that is as filled with flickers and glimmers and uncertainty as the gaslight that provides the mood of the play. Set in mid-Victorian times, Gaslight (or Angel Street as it was called on Broadway) has been made into two movies, in 1940 and 1944, the second starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. It has even become a psychological term, “gaslighting,” meaning to cause someone to question their sanity. BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has brought their own brand of high-energy, high-excitement performance to the show, trimming the now-public-domain play by some forty pages, turning it from a rather old-fashioned three-act into a tense, fast moving and gripping two hour production. Those who saw last June’s Deathtrap from BDP will remember the kind of edge-of-the-seat excitement that Gaslight will re-capture. Theatre-goers should note: Gaslight, and BDP’s July/August production of the classic comedy The Country Wife, will begin at a special “summer” start time, 7:30 p.m. for evening performances and 1:30 p.m. for matinees. Gaslight will run June 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 7:30 p.m. and June 15 and 22 at 1:30 p.m. Along with some special musical events this summer and the presence of workshops and performances by The Academy For Musical Theatre, Full Circle Theatre will be busy, indeed this summer. Information can be obtained and tickets for Ernest And Ernestine and Gaslight can be reserved by calling 613267-1884 or going to BDP’s website at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

Key stuck in ignition leaves motorist seeking help

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

at least removed for cleaning, repair, or replacement. Any good quality lock deicer will have a light lubricant formulated into its make-up and a shot or a few drops twice a year (depending on the environment) should keep things moving. The most common failure on any vehicle with a remote trunk-lid or lift-gate release is the seizing of the lock cylinder on these panels. They are exposed to a constant barrage of wet salty brine from our winter roads and they seldom get used as drivers prefer the convenience of the power release. If you’re faced with replacing one of these, your costs can be reduced by treating the lock cylinder to a little desalination bath with CLR Brand calcium, lime, and rust remover. If you have the skills or can coerce a home-driveway technician to remove the lock cylinder for you (it’s a fairly easy DIY job), simply place it in a bowl with enough CLR to cover it. Remove any attached plastic parts. The cylinder will immediately start foaming as the cleaner dissolves the salt de-

posits. This and a little elbow grease with a used toothbrush can bring a stubborn lock back to use avoiding the price of a new one. Keep in mind, most off-shore brand vehicles (and even some Detroit-Three models) don’t supply non-coded lock cylinders; they are only available pre-coded with a new key. “Hi Brian We have a BMW sedan that has a feature where the engine turns off when stopped in traffic or at a light and automatically turns back on when you press on the accelerator. It has an on/off switch just below the main start button. We often find this ‘eco stop-start’ feature is on even when we have turned it off. We assumed we accidentally brushed by it and accidentally turned it back on but you got me wondering...is that part as flimsy as GM’s and does driving over bumps, etc., affect it by turning it on and off?” Many thanks, Colette This idle-stop feature that is present on all gasoline-electric hybrids and is now being ad-

opted by traditionally powered vehicles as a fuel economy system, started being used by BMW on their 3 and M series and even the Mini line back as early as 2008. But unlike hybrids, the BMW version has its share of detractors thanks to a reportedly harsh and delayed take-off from a stop after the idle-stop had turned off the engine. The driver option to defeat this (by means of the dash button) is reset to active (idle-stop on) every time the vehicle is restarted. M series owners are able to deactivate this feature on a more long-term basis by selecting a ‘last-user’ mode that ‘remembers’ drivers’ preferences. Other BMW lines can have this done via a computer re-flash at an authorized dealer. BUSFUSION, a Volkswagen camper camping event returns to the Almonte Fairgrounds from June 5 to 8.

Lifestyle – “I read a recent article on ignition switch and lock concerns with interest. By coincidence, yesterday my key got stuck in the ignition and could not be removed. This is on a 2012 Hyundai Accent Hatchback. When the mechanic finally removed the key by disassembling the steering column, we could see a slight scarring barely visible to the naked eye on the key. Could you tell me if this is a problem that the Accent has or could the key have been scarred in some other way that caused the problem The mechanic had to ‘wiggle and jiggle’ to get the key out.” John The Accent isn’t particularly known for ignition lock problems but these symptoms can appear on just about any automotive lock cylinder. The cause is most likely a lock tumbler that isn’t retracting to let the ‘cuts’ of the key pass by as it’s going in or out of the lock. The tumblers are equipped with small springs and travel in a machined slot. Dirt, grit, and dust can accumulate and cause tumblers to stick. Simply spraying in a lubricant may not solve the situation and in some cases this might make things work. Never use spray lubricants with any thickness like lithium grease (they can trap dirt). If a few drops of light lube don’t solve things, the lock will usually have to be disassembled or

Diamond in the rough: a 1964 Impala SS convertible transmission. Dave had a special reason for wanting to buy this car. He had learned to drive on his parents’ light blue ’64 Impala 2-door hardtop. It had a 283 with Powerglide, plus tilt steering and a rear seat speaker. On July 20, 1969 (the same day Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon), young Dave was on a motor trip with his parents when they stopped at a motel in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Their ’64 Impala broke down and they had to get the valves ground the next day. After getting home, Dave’s parents bought a new car and the ’64 Impala was retired to Dave’s grandmother’s farm across from Colasanti’s north of Ruthven. Dave as young as eight began bombing around on the farm in the ’64 Impala hardtop. Now he has a ’64 Impala SS convertible. It needs a new floor but he got the engine running, and all engine parts are original except for an H.E.T. distributor (more

reliable than points). When I last talked to Dave about his car, he said he was planning to give it a complete mechanical restoration but not a cosmetic restoration, which would entail new paint, new interior, new whitewalls, new top, new chrome, etc. I hope to return for more coverage of this car with this title: “Twice the fun for half the money.” I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free auSubmitted photo tographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETEC- Dave Taves with his 1964 Impala SS convertible.

Lifestyle – It arrived at the home of Dave Taves north of Leamington, Ont., on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013: a weather-beaten 1964 Chevy Impala SS convertible. Dave works with Dan Fistor in nearby Windsor. Dan’s brother bought a five-dollar lottery ticket in London, Ont., in the 1980s and won the car! It was running and driveable but needed work. Dan’s brother parked it in an underground garage in London and the last license sticker was for June 1996 when Dan’s brother passed away. Dan inherited the car. The car now came to Windsor to Dan’s brother-in-law’s heated garage. Before that, it was stored in a pole barn and had to be moved three times because of loss of storage. One day nearly two years ago, Dan phoned Dave to say someone wanted to buy the car, and he asked Dave what he thought it was worth. An offer for $2,500 had come in and the odometer reading was 38,613 miles. Dave asked Dan if he might regret selling it. Dan thought about this for another year, then sold the car to Dave. It arrived at Dave’s house on a trailer. It has the original 283 V8 and two-speed Powerglide

Students speak of experiences in Guatemala mission trip News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board meeting held May 20 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO board of trustees had the privilege of hearing testimonials from Catholic secondary students who had the opportunity to participate in the Guatemala mission trip over March break. Clearly moved by their lifechanging, profound experiences, the group gave an emotional and heartfelt account of their time in Guatemala, and how they were particularly moved by the children at the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos (NPH) Orphanage. Thirty-nine students, along with ten supervisors, from seven secondary schools, participated in the experience. Upon their arrival, the group travelled immediately to the NPH Orphanage in San Andres, approximately one hour from Guatemala City. Working at the orphanage was truly the core of the Guatemala mission trip experience. Here, the group stayed for six days, assisting with construction projects, building maintenance, gardening, and teaching English lessons. After-work activities at the orphanage included soccer games, dancing, and lots of interaction with the children. Participants then left the orphanage and visited the lakeside resort town of Panajachel on day seven, where they had a guided tour of a

Mayan village and visited a local market. On day eight, participants had a guided tour of Antigua, the old colonial capital, and enjoyed a group dinner at a local restaurant. This special evening was an opportunity to reflect upon and discuss the experiences they encountered throughout their time in Guatemala. Each person who attended the trip brought with them supplies to help the orphanage which included games, playing cards, and colouring books. In addition to toys and other fun items, ten suitcases filled with clothes, blankets, toiletries and school supplies, as well as one suitcase full of medical supplies were brought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These would have made a world of difference to the nurses and the children,â&#x20AC;? explained Phil Boyd, a student from St. Luke Catholic High School, during his testimonial. The trip provided students with the opportunity to make a difference in a global community, and many commented on how this experience has helped them to understand poverty, and that happiness can be achieved despite lack of material goods. The students thanked the board for their prayerful and financial support of the mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is obvious that there has been a great emotional attachment to the people and the culture, and the whole experience,â&#x20AC;? responded board chair Brent Laton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know you bring those lessons and experiences back

Catholic Education Week Each year, the Catholic community of Ontario engages in a weeklong celebration of the unique identity and distinctive contributions of Catholic education during Catholic Education Week. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catholic Education: Serving in the Love of Christâ&#x20AC;? took place the week of May 4 to May 9. The week began with the celebration of the annual board-wide mass, which was led by Bishop Marcel Damphousse of the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Marg Shea-Lawrence, gave an overview of the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events, which was followed by a video presentation. Throughout the week, CDSBEO schools shone a great light on the ways in which CDSBEO Catholic schools serve in the love of Christ. The week was marked by special activities and events for all grade levels, including prayer celebrations, service activities, celebrations of the arts, sporting events, and fundraisers; indeed the spirit of service was the hallmark of each event. The video, which highlights some of the many happenings at CDSBEO schools during Catholic Education Week, can be viewed on the CDSBEO YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/CDSBEOVideo). Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

2015 Nissan Micra: Good things really do come in small packages

BRIAN TURNER

erage sized adults without cramping. A tall roof line which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drop to the rear protects head-room for rear passengers. Wide opening doors mean easy entry and exit and the hatchback lift-gate has a suitably low lift-over height for easy cargo loading. Large windshield and door glass surfaces give a great view outwards and help to alleviate the impression of being in a sub-compact. And surprise; the rear door windows actually go all the way down! Cup holders and storage pockets abound in the Micra, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect console armrests or storage bins. On the road, the Micra is surprising-

My Take MARK HASKINS

made a mistake. Unfortunately only true loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kiss can break the curse, and Maleficent doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe such a thing exists. Maleficent is a rich and gorgeous movie. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of fantasy you can completely immerse yourself in and become lost. The detail, the colour, the lighting everything evokes a sense of wonder and awe. It is a true work of beauty. The plot is intriguing. There are no villains or heroes in the traditional fairy tale sense. There are simply people who make mistakes, and either try to make amends, or allow themselves to be ruled by them. It gives the classic tale a very modern twist. Sharlto Copley expertly crafts the character of Stefan as a flawed and mortal king. Sam Riley is brilliant as Maleficentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shape-changing raven. Elle Fanning easily falls into the role of the innocent and naive princess. But of course the real story here is Angelina Jolie. Maleficent is wonder and power. She is an unearthly force of nature and Angelina Jolie revels in every inch of this character. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sight and a performance to behold. Fairy tales have a way of capturing our imagination which is probably why we keep telling them over and over again. Maleficent continues that tradition.

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Every generation has its fairy tales or, to be more precise, their version of fairy tales. These stories have evolved and changed with every telling over hundreds of years. Maleficent is the latest re-telling of a classic fairy tale, and what a re-telling it is. In this tale of Sleeping Beauty there are two kingdoms at odds with one another. In one kingdom lives the mortals, and in the other lives the magical fare folk. Among them lives the fairy Maleficent (Angelina Jolie). As the biggest and strongest of the fairies she is their self-appointed protector. As a child Maleficent met a human. The two became friends and over time became something more. Maleficent loved Stefan (Sharlto Copley), but Stefan was ruled by ambition. He betrayed Maleficent by stealing her wings to secure his throne. It broke Maleficentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, and she vowed vengeance. When King Stefan and his Queen have a daughter Maleficent takes it as her opportunity for revenge. She curses the little princess then leaves Stefan to wallow in his despair. Stefan, in a blind panic, does all he can to avoid the curse including secretly sending his baby girl to live with three pixies. All the while Maleficent, and her raven Diaval (Sam Riley), watch the princess waiting for the curse to take hold. Maleficent protects the young babe, and watches over the little girl, until one day Maleficent steps from the shadows to meet Aurora (Elle Fanning). The meeting is not what Maleficent expected, and she wonders if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

out sacrificing performance. NRCan ratings for the Micra automatic are 8.8 L/100 km city and 6.6 L/100 km highway (32 mpg and 43 mpg respectively). As this vehicle is not for sale the US, there are no EPA ratings available. The 41 L fuel tank should provide a mixed driving range of just over 450 km and cost about $47 to fill at $1.33/L. On the maintenance side of the coin, the Micra promises to be just as cheap. The P185/60R15 tires on my tester are available from a very wide selection of makers with many in the $100-$175 price range. Front brake pads and rotors will set you back $92 and $97 respectively, an air filter costs $22, and a dealer oil change runs around $40 (no synthetic oil required). For a great commuter car that can serve a variety of tasks well at an outstanding price the Nissan Micra is well worth a look and a test drive.

ly peppy and the longer-than-average wheelbase for this segment, allows for a solid and smooth ride as well as more interior space. Its exterior aerodynamics minimizes the effects of cross-shear winds and keep things quieter than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect for a car of this price. The 109 hp engine output allowed the Nissan team to use a final-drive gear ratio that keeps the engine from revving high at highway speeds and leaves some reserve power for passing and lane merges. Even the use of A/C doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause a hunt-and-surge engine speed syndrome that plagues a lot of small displacement engines. In-town manoeuvering is a breeze thanks to the Micraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall size, good sight lines and an electric power-steering system. While this vehicle is aimed squarely at urban commuters, it is quite capable of longer treks without passenger discomfort. The reasoning behind a dual fuel injection system (two injectors per cylinder) was to provide a 57 per cent finer fuel spray for improved mileage with-

said Christian Meunier, president of Nissan Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been extensive support from the global leadership team to make this happen, recognizing the potential of the Nissan brand within Canada, and the importance of bringing cars that will resonate with Canadian consumers.â&#x20AC;? If it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already been drilled into your head from preliminary advertising, the Micra starts out the price journey at $9,998 for the entry-level version with a 1.6 L DOHC 4-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The power plant is equipped with dual fuel injection and variable valve timing and puts out 109 hp. My tester from Smiths Falls Nissan was the SV version with an automatic transmission priced at $13,698 (all prices before destination fees, taxes, and any current incentives). The top dog in the Micra clan; the SR comes in at $15,748. My SV level was impressively equipped with power windows/locks, cruise control, air-conditioning, remote keyless entry, rear wiper, rearview camera, cell-phone hands-free system, six-way driver seat, steering wheel controls, audio with auxiliary inputs, and a block heater, (yes, it was made for Canada). While this is a subcompact, interior room is comfortable with higher-thanexpected seating providing leg comfort for longer journeys.

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. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. 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 2015 Nissan Micra I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Smiths Falls Nissan. Nissan has fired a major shot across the bows of their competitors with the introduction of a sub $10,000 vehicle and from a first drive aspect; it looks like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten things right. The 2015 Micra is setting some new rules in this game and consumers are destined to be the winners. While the Micra is aptly named a global car by Nissan (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being sold in 160 countries), it will not be offered for sale in the US. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very rare to offer a car in Canada that is not also offered in the United States and with Micra, Nissan will be the only mainstream automotive brand to bring a high volume car specifically for the Canadian market,â&#x20AC;?

Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Installing a carbon-monoxide alarm near the sleeping areas of your home will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas. It is a good idea to invest in a battery-operated alarm that will continue to work during power failures.
