Canadians tailgate party set for Sept. 7
NEWS
By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca
Community – While summer rages on outside, the Carleton Place Canadians are preparing to start their 2013-14 season off with a bang Saturday, Sept. 7 with an old-fashioned tailgate party prior to their home opener versus the Smiths Falls Bears. For the third straight year, Carleton Place’s Sister City Committee is coordinating the tailgate party along with the Canadians, at the Neelin Street Community Centre, which includes activities for the entire family from 1 to 5 p.m. Then at 5:15 p.m., the puck drops inside for the main event: an afternoon match against local rivals, the Smiths Falls Bears. According to sister city committee chair Jeff Maguire, the idea for the Tennessee-style tailgate party came as a way for the group to get involved in the community. “It’s been quite successful... and is a little bit of a payback to the community for their support of us,” he remarked. “They’ve been really good to come out to our events...and this is one way for us to thank them and also assist our Junior A hockey club, who we feel are contributing to the younger set in a very real well.” “We’ve been planning it now for about six weeks. It’s going extremely well and we’re quite confident,” Maguire continued.

News – Tuesday, Sept. 3, was the first day of school for area students. Starting senior kindergarten at St. Gregory School in Carleton Place, five-year-old Nolan Boal waits for the bus at the corner of Park Avenue and Miguel Street in town.
“We’re pleased that it’s Smiths Falls the Canadians will be playing as well.” The party will be held outside, taking over the arena parking lot. Begley Street will also be closed off to allow for games for kids, including hockey drills; and the 2013-14 Canadians roster will be officially introduced with all players on hand. A coach’s corner type discussion is also in the works. “We will have a stage set up and people have the opportunity to meet the players, and coaching staff and ask questions about the new season,” Maguire explained. Several musical acts will take that same stage, being provided by Cavanagh Construction, throughout the afternoon including favourites the Bowes Brothers and local country sensation Brea Lawrenson. Lawrenson’s most recent song ‘Honey’, is in heavy rotation on Y101. She penned it with Franklin, Tennessee’s (one of the towns with which Carleton Place is twinned, along with Comrie, Scotland), Dawn Beyer. “Her (Lawrenson) new song is doing extremely well and has been receiving a lot of radio air time. We’re (sister city committee), quite pleased for her,” Maguire noted, adding that the committee helped facilitate some of Lawrenson’s contacts in Franklin. “We did introduce See PARTY page A/CP2
Famous, well-loved Poutine Queen food truck fried by fire By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

News – When you’re craving a fast food meal in Almonte, you don’t have a ton of choices and unfortunately, fried-food cravers will now have one less option to turn to. The famous and well-loved Poutine Queen food truck has been closed due to a recent fire. Early in the morning on Saturday, Aug. 24, the truck’s refrig-
erator caught fire, subsequently scorching and melting much of the interior of the vehicle. “Of all the things in a food truck that could catch fire, I never expected that it would be the fridge,” said Jennifer Lemieux, Poutine Queen’s owner. Firefighters arrived on the scene before Lemieux had been notified of the blaze and extinguished the flames before they could do any
further damage. “There was no one there at the time; it was so early in the morning,” said Lemieux. “So thankfully there were no injuries at all.” While Lemieux’s insurance company is still investigating the fire, she says there is no suspicion of arson or a breakin. “It was just a freak accident,” Lemieux said. “A really unfortunate, sad accident.”
The Poutine Queen has been a favourite Almonte hotspot for the last four summers, and in that short time it became the number one food truck in the Ottawa Valley, says Lemieux. The truck was parked behind the Almonte Beer Store for its first season but soon moved to its current location beside the ESSO gas station. The truck quickly became a hit with its fresh cut fries, original poutine combinations and other menu

items. It will take more than a fire, though, to knock down Lemieux. Though nothing from the existing truck is salvageable, she said she plans to rebuild and establish a new Poutine Queen truck for the next season, and that it will return to its familiar location. “We’ll be back,” she said, “and we’ll be back with a vengeance.”

News – Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) Lanark Petty Officer Daniel Vincent, of Almonte, recently returned from a five-week trip aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Henry Larsen, where he spent the summer touring Canada’s arctic. Vincent was one of two cadets selected from across Ontario, and one of only four from across Canada to represent the cadet organization on this once in a lifetime trip. During his time away, he got to visit places most people didn’t even know existed. He experienced such things as endless days with no darkness, helicopter flights and boat excursions through iceberg fields, and even curious polar bears checking out their ship. Vincent even had a chance to chip an ice chunk off an actual glacier to cool down his drink. As a result of the trip, he has achieved certificates of competency that are recognized outside the cadet program. Another routine part of cadet training is attending summer camps at various locations in Canada. As part of each camp’s training program, proficient cadets are awarded for their efforts. During this year’s summer training at HMCS Ontario in Kingston, two Carleton Place cadets were fortunate enough to receive awards for their efforts. Cadet Leading Seaman Isabelle Bourget was awarded Top Cadet on completion of her general training course, while Cadet Master Seaman Ella Wiggins was awarded Most Improved on completion of her basic seamanship course. RCSCC Lanark accepts new members between the ages of 12 and 18 during the first few weeks of September. If you are interested in learning more about the cadet program, please come see us on Wednesdays between 6:30 and 9 p.m. at the Navy League building at 137 John Street.

Walk to ease the lives of ALS sufferers at upcoming Sept. 14 fundraiser By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Community – Walking to raise awareness and funding for the research and care of ALS – Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig disease – sufferers has become something of a tradition for Judy Lavender. However, last year Lavender found herself abroad on Walk for ALS day. Loath to miss it, she approached the tour group. “We were in Florence [Italy] and we were going to do some walking that day, so I told them it was ALS Walk day. I didn’t know any of the people before the trip but everybody thought it was a great idea, so I gave them all purple ALS bands, which I happened to have,� said Lavender. That meant a lot to Lavender. Her husband was diagnosed with the debilitating and fatal disease 20 years ago. The Walk for ALS is fast approaching again this year, and the local walk, takes place on Saturday, Sept. 14 and raises funds for the Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville region. “There are 28 walks taking place across Ontario (94 across the country) and 60 per cent of the funds raised go to client care and 40 per cent supports research directly,� said Lianne Johnston, regional manager ALS Canada. The care aspect of the funding is crucial to anyone struggling with ALS. “ALS is considered a fatal rapidly progressive neurological disease. About a 1,000 people in Ontario have ALS; 80 per cent of those afflicted will die within two to five years,� said Johnson. In those short years those afflicted will need a lot of tangible support just
to cope with the disease progression, and that’s where ALS Canada comes in. “ALS Canada will do home visits and assess the needs and connect families with available support,� said Negin Neghabat-Wolthoff, director marketing and communications at ALS Canada. “They also donate equipment, such as assistive devices, communication aids, wheelchairs, and specially equipped hospital beds.� Due to successful funding, Canada is also at the forefront of ALS research and exciting things are happening this year according to Neghabat-Wolthoff. “(The year) 2013 has been an unprecedented year in ALS research breakthroughs. Recent clinical breakthroughs and recent discoveries of genes associated with ALS are expected to change the landscape of ALS treatment,� said Neghabat-Wolthoff. Last year, the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville 5 km walk or 10 km run out of Smiths Falls raised $39,000 and the goal this year is to raise $42,000. The walk starts from the Smiths Falls Legion, Branch 95 on Sept. 14 at 9 a.m. “The 9 a.m. start is so participants can get registered, then the opening ceremonies start at 10 a.m.,� said Sandra Burson, who has been organizing the event in Smiths Falls for the past 15 years. Registration is $20 and can be raised through pledges. There is no minimum pledge amount. Every dollar counts, according to Burson. Not only that but ALS Canada offers participants various rewards for their fundraising efforts. The break down works like this: $100 – cool purple T-shirt; $250 – T-shirt and ball cap; $1,000 – T-shirt and picture frame;

Council formally adopts slogans Council approved a recommendation by the economic development committee to ratify two slogans for tourism promotions. The county has been actively promoting the region as “The Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario” and the “Maple Syrup Capital” for many years, which has been a successful messaging tool to distinguish Lanark County as a tourism destination. Slogans are not usually protected by copyright, however, and the ratification of these two serves to formalize the county’s use of this messaging in public documentation. The tourism department may consider developing other new slogans or taglines related to maple syrup and maple experiences. County receives AEDs Lanark County has received 13 Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) as part of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s funding program in conjunction with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. As a
result, the county is continuing to increase the number of recreational and community facilities and schools that now have this life-saving device. Each year the county identifies potential sites and applies for the funding. The implementation of and training for the devices are coordinated through the Lanark County Ambulance Service. Since the program began in 2007, the county has received 48 AEDs, which have been located in local public facilities and schools across the county. Rick Hannah, the county’s emergency services coordinator, says the AEDs combined with CPR have proven to save lives. “This is just one more tool to be able to help someone. The use of CPR with AEDs improves one’s chances in a major way,” he said. Transition funding allocated Council has approved a recommendation allocating funds for local initiatives through a one-time grant made available by the Ministry of Community and Social Services. The $340,000 grant is designed to assist with the county’s transition to the new Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI), which consolidates some existing programs and eliminates others. CHPI aims to help people experiencing homelessness to obtain and retain housing or to help those at risk of homelessness to remain housed. Lanark County Social Services developed a 10-year Housing and Homelessness Plan through community consultations to determine gaps, identify goals and objectives, and to develop or expand programs to identify issues. The funding is allocated to six short-term initiatives to improve affordable housing in Lanark County, including hiring a housing support worker for two years, financial support for community partners to attend the National Conference on Ending Homelessness, development of a two-year pilot program to fund residential space with the Susan Shirley Program (a non-profit maternity home and parent training centre), rental supports in partnership with Lanark County Interval House for two years for those fleeing domestic violence, funding for the Renovate Lanark Home Repair Loan program to help those applicants on a wait list and funds to expand the rent support program for two years.
County receiving gas tax allocation Council has authorized the county to enter into an agreement with the province for the Provincial Tax Gas Funding. The 2013 allocation of $429,000 for the county was announced by the Ministry of Transportation in July. The funding was first announced in 2004 to provide investment in public transit. Funds must be placed in a separate reserve and any costs related to public transit
capital and growth in service can be funded from the reserve. Upcoming meetings County council, Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m.; economic development, Sept. 4 at 5 p.m.; public works, Sept. 4 (following economic development); community services, Sept. 18 at 5 p.m.; and corporate services, Sept. 18 (following community services).

News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Aug. 28 at the county administration building in Perth. The inaugural Lanark County Harvest Festival is set to go on Sunday, Sept. 8 in beautiful Beckwith Park, 1319 9th Line Road in Beckwith Township, just 10 minutes west of Ottawa. The event runs between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and features local producers, food seminars, musical entertainment and children’s activities. “There are eight seminars,” said warden Bill Dobson, “so not only will you be able to buy great local food, but it’s going to be an educational day.” In additions to dozens of local food vendors, seminars include foraging for edible wilds, garlic, herbal remedies, permaculture, apples, maple syrup and plants. The festival is a collaboration of several groups, including Lanark Local Flavour, Lanark County farmers’ markets, the Lanark County Agricultural Committee, Lanark County and the Township of Beckwith.

Perth man raises more than $4,000 for cancer society through fundraiser akulp@perfprint.ca
Community – Bruce Raby’s recent kayaking trek along the Rideau Canal has given the local Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society a $4,400 infusion. The Perth man successfully completed his second annual Kayaking to Beat Cancer fundraiser, paddling 115 kilometres over three days, from Aug. 10 to 12. For six years prior he kayaked from Kingston to Ottawa and has raised more than $25,000 total. “It was fantastic,� Raby said of the voyage. “It makes me feel good that I can do this. I can make a little difference and as I get older, I’d like to believe that you can make a difference for somebody or someone in life and this is just a way I feel I can make a little difference.� “I’m doing something that I really enjoy. I got to paddle with my son, which is tremendous, and I paddled alone the last day but I’m doing it for a cause that is so terrible,� he continued. “People are suffering and dealing with cancer and it makes me feel guilty that I enjoy doing this, but it’s one way I can help...Hopefully it’s (funds raised) able to do some good for some people.� Accompanied by his son Andrew, Raby started out bright and early from Last Duel Park on Aug. 10 and they made their way to Kilmarnock before stopping at a bed and breakfast for the night. After taking time out to drop off a Japanese student his family hosted for a few weeks, Raby and his son were back on the water and made it to Pirate Cove Marina in Kemptville before setting up camp for the night. On the final day, Aug. 12, Andrew headed back to work and Raby opted to complete the rest of the trek alone. “I got up quite early and was on
the water by 8 a.m. and I wanted to see how far I could get on my own and it took me two hours to get to Hurst Marina,� he said. “I was feeling pretty good and just kept paddling.� “...For eight hours non-stop I paddled. I pulled out a sandwich while I as waiting to go through the locks, but I never got out of my boat until 4 p.m. when I made it to Dow’s Lake,� Raby added. He said the weather was “great� for paddling over the three days and he relished the time spent on the water. “I enjoy the quiet and serenity and the feeling of being alone (on the water),� Raby said. “It lets your mind and body get in sync with what you’re doing.� In the past, Raby has attempted to enlist more people to paddle with him in the fundraiser, but said he likes keeping it a small and intimate fundraiser. “I would like to have lots more people paddle with me because I could raise a lot more money, but one of the advantages (of keeping it small), is that you don’t have to worry about other people,� he explained. “I can paddle as fast as I want, as long as I want and I can stop when I want to. And I’m able to be in sync with myself while paddling.� Raby collected just over $100 on the water while on his trek and said he heard “some good and some bad stories,� and received encouragement for what he was doing. Generous sponsors Another aspect that has made his Kayaking to Beat Cancer initiative so successful is the support Raby has received from local businesses and the generous public. “The support people have given me means quite a bit,� he remarked. “It helps me get the message out there that I am on the water and trying to raise money.� Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth, Steve’s Independent Gro-
cer and Walmart in Carleton Place allowed him to set up a booth to fundraise for donations. Walmart also matched monies raised, dollar for dollar. Hinton Dodge Chrysler, G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction, A&B Ford, Perth Motors, G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction, all contributed to the cause, as well as LCBO stores in Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Kemptville and Manotick, which allowed Raby to collect funds through their coin box program during the month of July.
“I need to have businesses supporting me as well and I think that’s important. Some of these organizations do their own big fundraisers for whatever causes they’re supporting, so it’s still nice when they find a way to support me, one individual, doing this,� Raby stated. Raby also appreciated the media publicity from the EMC, as well as Lake 88.8 and the Lanark Era. He also received complimentary lock passes from Parks Canada. To thank those who made donations of $20 or more, Raby, also
an amateur photographer, entered names into a draw for one of his nature and landscape prints. The lucky winner was Donna Doelman of Kingston and Bennett Lake. Even though he finished the fundraiser nearly a month ago, Raby is already busy thinking about next year’s event, which he said might include a few changes. “What’s going through my mind now is next year to extend the length of the paddle up the Rideau system more and start at maybe Westport,� he said. “Why not?�

News – Randy Hillier (MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington) is pleased to once again be a participant at the Institute for Liberal Studies’ Canadian Property Rights Conference. Hillier, who has made a career of defending the importance of property rights in Ontario, will be on hand at the Second Annual event to further promote the importance of enshrining property rights in the Constitution, an effort he and his federal counterpart MP Scott Reid have attempted in the past. Last year, Hillier spoke twice at the conference, held
annually in Ottawa. This year’s Canadian Property Rights Conference will take place Sept. 13-15 at the Lord Elgin Hotel in Ottawa. Headlining the conference with the keynote address will be former Leader of the Official Opposition and Federal Cabinet Minister, the Honourable Stockwell Day.

News – Nominations for the Bill Thake Memorial Award for Economic Development Leadership in Leeds Grenville are now open. This annual leadership award recognizes an individual who has volunteered his or her time to improve the economic growth and vitality of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Presentation of the award will be at the annual United Counties Economic Development Summit on Nov. 22 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 27. All nominees will be honoured during the luncheon portion of the summit. “We are fortunate to have so many residents who volunteer their time for the benefit of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville,” United Counites warden Ron Holman said. “It’s an honour to recognize their commitment.” The award’s namesake, former Westport mayor Bill Thake, passed away in June and is greatly missed, Holman said. “He contributed so much to our communities over the years. The leadership award is aptly named in his honour and now becomes a memorial award,” he said. During his extraordinary lifetime, Thake was recognized as being the longest-serving mayor in Canada. He was first elected to the Westport council in 1961 and later became mayor in 1969. He was a mentor to many. He worked hard to develop a strong economy in his village and communities across the United Counties. Thake’s municipal experience spanned more than half a century with 52 years of service. He was United Counties warden for four terms, including 2011 when this award, also called the Warden’s Award, was first introduced.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Underfunding First Nations education a costly mistake DEAR EDITOR: While the Conservatives have spent the summer talking about their forthcoming First Nations Education Act, they continue to ignore the elephant in the room: the federal government dramatically underfunds First Nations students’ education. For a country like Canada, it’s shocking that only a third of high school students on reserve graduate each year. And while the reasons are complex, one stands out: the federal government, which is solely responsible for financing First Nations education, only funds First Nations students two-thirds of the average funding per student that the provinces provide to other schools. This financing gap contributes to lower test scores, stunning drop-out rates and a failure to equip students with the tools they need to compete and succeed in the modern workforce. It’s a big problem, especially since more than a quarter of the Aboriginal People in Canada are under 14. This is a huge loss for our economy. Canada is coping with a lack of highly skilled people in the workforce, a problem which is projected to
worsen. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and other business leaders say higher investments in Aboriginal education are needed to employ this generation. One study found that by increasing Aboriginal education rates to the same level as non-Aboriginal Canadians could add $160 billion to the economy over the next seven years alone. Sadly, nothing is being done, government spin notwithstanding. Despite the Conservatives being in power for almost eight years, the Auditor General found the government cannot demonstrate any progress in closing the First Nations education gap. Their record of neglect is shameful. And they continue to deny there is even a problem. Giving all children a high-quality, relevant education and an equal opportunity to succeed is a core Canadian value. It is the right thing to do, and it’s also good for economic growth. It’s high time we closed the gap. Carolyn Bennett, MP Liberal Party of Canada Aboriginal Affairs Critic
COMMENTARY Back to school Editorials – Those big yellow school buses returned to local roadways this week with a flourish. Summer is over and school is back in session and it wouldn’t hurt for motorists to take a refresher on road safety. The Ontario Provincial Police and CAA take back to school road safety very seriously and now that school has begun again, motorists should adjust their commutes to work accordingly. By Ontario law, vehicles travelling in both directions must stop completely when approaching a school bus with its red lights flashing. Due to steep fines, drivers who fail to do this will only do it once as first offenders could be forced to shell out between $400 and $2,000 and lose six demerit points from their licence. The fines increase for repeat offenders with the possibility of facing up to six months in jail. School bus zones, posting speeds of 40 km per hour are also there for a reason. Drivers should exercise caution and beware of exceeding the limit. Those who drive 16 to 29 km per hour over the limit in these designated zones could pay a fine and lose three demerit points. If you feel the need for speed and drive 50 km per hour over the posted school zone limit, be prepared to be handed a fine of up to $10,000 and a suspended licence. To avoid these situations, motorists should educate themselves on the rules of the road and get in the habit of watching for school buses and zones, and always stopping for school buses with flashing red lights. If driving within a school zone, watch for children crossing the street and adjust your driving accordingly. There’s no such thing as being too cautious when it comes to road safety.
First day of school was always a special occasion Lifestyle – We thought nothing of the three and a half mile trek to the Northcote School. There were others who walked much further. And if, for any reason, we had to make a stop at Briscoe’s General Store, that meant at least another mile, as we had to walk the Rink Road to get there, bypassing Plaunt’s road which was our usual way of getting to and from school. When we got to the end of our long lane, and onto the Northcote Side Road, we would meet up with the Thoms, our next-farm-over neighbours. And Velma and I, best friends, would hold hands all the way to the school. My three brothers wanted no part of we younger ones, and they would tear ahead of us, leaving us behind, as if we had the plague! It was a dirt road all the way, and by the time we got to school, even our socks were covered with dust, and our shoes looked like they had been through a war! I was in boys brown brogue laced shoes that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, and I secretly prayed that the hateful shoes would fall apart
one day, and I could wear my Sunday-go-to-church shoes, which were just marginally better than the boys’ brogues. This time of year, my three brothers, who every year Mother swore had grown a foot over the summer, had new running shoes to wear that first day back to school. They covered their ankles, and laced from the toes to the tops, and had thick black soles. If Mother didn’t order them from Eaton’s catalogue, they were bought in Renfrew where Mother bargained for the best price, paying the princely sum of .98 cents a pair. And the stores in Renfrew weren’t too happy about trading a couple chickens or fresh eggs like Mr. Briscoe did at the general store in Northcote. The boys were well warned to be careful with the running shoes, because they would be the only ones they would be getting. Even if they fell apart, Mother warned! “No scuffing along the side road,” she would bellow, as we all headed out the lane that first day back to school.

shoes, the brothers would have to resort to wearing their gum-rubbers, which made their feet sweat. If enough boys were in their gum-rubbers all at the same time at school, the whole place smelled to high heaven, causing Miss Crosby to fling the windows wide even on the coldest fall days! And so it was, that first day back to the Northcote School, the three brothers in their new running shoes which they weren’t allowed to put on their feet until that morning, me in my boys brogues that had been shined with bacon fat, and our lunches in clean brown paper bags, we headed off. At the end of the lane, Velma waited for me. The Thoms boys and my three brothers raced off down the dirt News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Jennifer Westendorp DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

road. Boys never carried their lunch bags openly. They tucked them inside the front of their shirts, which did nothing to keep the sandwiches in one piece. We girls put our lunches in our book bags, in with our new scribblers, and whatever books Mother had to buy at the drug store. And always we girls carried a freshly laundered handkerchief, neatly folded, tucked in our book bag as well. If Kleenex had been invented back then, we certainly didn’t know about it! Mother always tried to have my sister Audrey and I wearing something new for that first day back to school. Not store-bought of course. Something she would have made from a leftover from the hand-me-down box, or from a well-bleached pair of flour bags. Mother favoured making blouses. Simple blouses, with little round Peter Pan collars, and she would search through her sewing basket until she found pieces of rick-rack braid which she would sew around the cuffs of the puffed sleeves and the round collar. Very clever, was my Mother, I thought back then.

Even though we had seen the neighbourhood children many times over the summer, at church picnics, ball games, and family get-togethers, on that first day back to school, it was as if we hadn’t laid eyes on them for years! There would be the Briscoe twins, in identical dresses. My little friend Joyce, always with something brand new that had probably come out of Walker Stores in Renfrew, and of course, bad Marguirite would have had a new permanent wave in her drug-store bleached Shirley Temple curls, and she would be in shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, and little white socks with lace around the tops. And there would be our same teacher...Miss Crosby...in the same dress she had worn on the last day of school two months before. And she would still smell of lilac talcum powder, and her black laced shoes would be so shiny, you could see your face in them.

Lifestyle – Western society has struggled for years trying to come to terms with how to manage marijuana. Is it safe? Should it be legalized or decriminalized? What will the ramifications be if public use of this drug, commonly called “pot” is given equal status with public consumption of alcohol in the eyes of the law? Cannabis, the official name for the plant from which marijuana is derived, is big business in North America. Marijuana is now being sold legally (for medical use) as well as illegally. Health Canada now allows individuals to apply for a prescription for medical marijuana following a set of rules and procedures. The drug is favoured for pain control with respect to certain medical conditions. That is one of the factors advocates cite when calling for an end to the current laws against growing, selling and possessing marijuana. Despite the fact so many Canadians now view marijuana use as “no big deal” challenges to the current laws in the federal courts have failed to achieve results. The various pot-related sections and subsections contained in the Criminal Code of Canada and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act remain in effect. In general terms it is still against the law to grow, sell and possess marijuana. It is for that reason that controversy erupted recently when newly elected Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau publicly admitted he has “puffed” on marijuana cigarettes since he became a Member of Parliament. Trudeau is now viewed by many as a hypocrite because in the House of Commons in 2009 he voted in favour of Bill C-15 which outlines mandatory minimum sentences for pot. The same year he also made anti-marijuana comments. But last November he told a high school audience in Prince Edward Island that he favours decriminalization of pot. Now he has admitted to smoking it since becoming an MP. Official Liberal Party policy by the way advocates legalizing marijuana in order to keep it out of the hands of children. I don’t think many people would view Trudeau’s actions as particularly troublesome if he had admitted to inhaling pot while he was a teenager for example or perhaps during his university days. Telling the world that you have used marijuana since being elect-

ed to Parliament and yet voting in favour of mandatory minimum sentences makes his position on the subject rather unclear. I think it shows extremely poor judgement on Trudeau’s part and it underlines my personal feeling that he is unfit to hold high office, let alone serve as an MP. But that is the wonderful thing about democracy. Even poor candidates win elections. Consider Toronto’s mayoralty! Against the law The biggest surprise for me in the wake of Trudeau’s ill-advised admission is the public reaction to it. Based on the polls I have seen, the majority of Canadians couldn’t care less. The reality is that possessing marijuana is a crime in Canada and by flouting the law then surely someone in Trudeau’s position is sending the wrong message no matter how liberal (pardon the pun) his own views may have become. Justice Minister Peter MacKay is among those who criticized the Liberal leader. At the same time he reiterated his government’s position. They have no plans in the works to legalize or decriminalize marijuana. MacKay was immediately pilloried by some for his remarks. One of his critics, a University of Ottawa law professor, disagrees with the minister’s statement that “it’s currently against the law to smoke dope.” The prof contends that while the courts in Canada say it’s against the law to possess marijuana, it is not a crime to smoke it. Surely he is splitting hairs? If you’re smoking pot then you must also be considered in possession of the stuff. A silly argument I feel! And yet such a comment points to how muddled the whole situation surrounding marijuana use has become. Yes, it’s against the law but it seems the courts treat simple possession with such leniency that it is hardly worth pursuing by the authorities. That situation was highlighted last month when the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police voted overwhelmingly in favour of re-
forming drug laws in this country. But only to a point. Police chiefs want officers to have the ability to ticket people found in possession of 30 grams of marijuana or less. The chair of the association’s drug-abuse committee says police currently have two choices: turn a blind eye or lay down the law to its full extent. Officers can caution an offender. Otherwise they have to lay formal charges resulting in what the committee chair calls “a lengthy and difficult process.” If proven the individual would have a criminal conviction and a criminal record. The police chiefs argue that ticketing offenders for possessing small amounts of pot would be “far less onerous and expensive.” It sounds similar to how police currently treat consumption of alcohol in public places. On the other hand police chiefs made it clear that, like the federal government, they don’t favour legalization or decriminalization of marijuana. Those who are licenced to grow and sell marijuana legally for medical use say the ticket system proposed by police amounts to decriminalization. There’s no question such a program would tend to diminish the seriousness of the offence which is why it is controversial. MacKay, on hearing of the chiefs’ proposal, repeated his government’s position. Although he had no immediate follow-up on the recommendation, the justice minister did say he appreciates the input. Which direction? Many American states have moved to decriminalize or legalize marijuana. But US federal laws remain unchanged. So, which is the best way to go? Driving while impaired is just as dangerous whether alcohol or drugs are involved. That fact has been recognized in Canada’s criminal code for many years. But while motorists impaired by alcohol can be given a spot check, determining impairment by drugs (including marijuana) is more complicated. Blood may have to be drawn and tested. Police are increasingly concerned about productive use of available resources. Therefore they are looking for ways to cut corners and prevent officers from being tied up for lengthy periods
on cases which have a marginal bottom line. Simple possession of marijuana (small amounts) is not dealt with severely in most cases. On the other hand is the matter of how much money the illegal growth and sale of marijuana generates for the criminals involved. The return on investment is huge which is why organized crime is involved in trafficking marijuana. I can honestly say I’ve never tried marijuana. First and foremost it is against the law to possess pot. But I don’t smoke and I have zero interest in marijuana or any other drug. Pain reduction aside, I don’t see any other practical use for marijuana. Opponents of pot say it leads many users to look for a bigger high and therefore leads to addiction. Proponents of legalization say marijuana use is harmless. However, the most recent study results I saw – last week in fact – warn of the risks of smoking marijuana, especially for teenagers. The Canadian-America probe concludes that “the nature of the teenage brain makes users of cannabis among this population particularly at risk of developing addictive behaviours and suffering other long-term effects.” A review of more than 120 studies, as well as original research by the authors, strongly suggests consuming cannabis during adolescence interferes with natural brain development and may hardwire some teens to develop addictions in adulthood. The research makes a strong connection between marijuana use and mental health problems along with addictive disorders. Worse still, the review warns marijuana could be considered “a gateway drug” to highly addictive heroin and cocaine. The study disputes what the authors call “the growing perception, particularly in adolescents and young adults that cannabis is harmless, especially compared to other abused substances like nicotine and alcohol that are legal.” This kind of scientific data is alarming and supports the Canadian government’s position that marijuana use should not be legalized or decriminalized. I am very interested in readers’ views on this controversial subject. Please share your opinion with me. Your thoughts may even lead to a follow-up column!

Assessing voice problems in children
Kemptville welcomes Dollar Tree Business – Dollar Tree is one of the latest businesses to open its doors in Kemptville. On Aug. 31, a ribbon cutting was held to officially open the store. From left: North Grenville councillor Tim Sutton; Dawn Whitmore; councillor Barb Tobin; store manager Lorrie Briggs; general manager Paul Reynolds; and Ashley Willan.
Lifestyle – Some children have harsh or raspy voices. They may have a voice problem. Some voice problems in children are because of breathing or reflux issues, or the child may have some undetected nodules or polyps in their throat. Some voice problems are present at birth and some may develop later. All children with voice problems must be seen by an ear nose and throat specialist to determine the cause of the problem. Voice therapy with a speechlanguage pathologist may also be needed,

Symptoms of voice problems that may develop: • Weak cry (in infants and toddlers) • Hoarseness or frequent laryngitis • “Scratchy” throat complaints or want water to soothe their throat • Breathy, airy speech • Trouble being heard or understood, especially in school or group settings What parents can do to help their children have healthy voices: • Rest the voice. Have quiet time and let your child do something fun like reading, crafts or playing a game. • Reduce noise. We all speak louder when we are around other sounds, such as the TV, music, or other conversations, so try to keep outside noise to a minimum. • Have a meaningful conversation with your child every day. This will lessen attention-seeking behavior, like yelling, when your child has your attention. • Take turns in conversations. This allows for conversations without people raising their voices to be heard. • No yelling! Discourage yelling in the house. Instead of yelling from one room to another, walk to the room where the person is that you want to speak with. If your child shows any of the symptoms above or if you are concerned, please see your family doctor. Your doctor will be able to help you to take the next steps in helping your child.

If you are concerned about your child’s speech and language development, call the Language Express Preschool Speech System at 1-888-503-8885/613-283-2742. A speech-language assessment can identify your child’s strengths and needs, and can help you prepare your child for success in communicating, reading and writing.

CDSBEO introduces new spiritual board theme for 2013-2015 school years Catechism of the Catholic Church, 15 prayer services, and more than 50 references to the Catholic Graduate Expectations. In addition, the elementary curriculum expectations are drawn from a newly developed Religious Education Policy document. Summer literacy and numeracy learning project For the past four summers, the CDSBEO has had the opportunity to participate in a summer learning program for students in the primary grades, that focuses on building literacy and numeracy skills while integrating physical activity, the arts, recreation and rich field experiences. The Council of Ontario Directors of Education continues to coordinate and provide leadership for these summer programs, which are funded by the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat. Children attended full days for one or both of the threeweek sessions which were offered to grade one, two and three students, between July 2 and Aug. 9. Program teacher, Sarah Nielsen, and tutor, JoséeAnne Couture, presented to the board an overview of the experiences of the 95 participating students, who were from six CDSBEO elementary schools in Cornwall, and three elementary schools in Brockville. The sessions, which were hosted by Immaculate Conception Catholic School (Cornwall), and St. John Bosco Catholic School (Brockville), were taught by qualified teachers and tutors. The program focus was to support students in acquiring the essential Ontario curriculum literacy and numeracy expectations and to sustain or
increase their individual skill development. Strong evidence supports that summer learning loss affects nearly all young people, and summer learning loss results in long-term, life altering consequences for some learners. A high quality and engaging literacy and numeracy program, which needed to be different from typical schooling, was planned by the summer learning team. Students also had the opportunity to participate in a variety of other learning subjects, including art, music, dance and physical education. Several experiential learning opportunities were provided through swimming, tours of local ambulance stations/fire halls, and also visits to a local bird sanctuary, to help deepen the opportunities and skills of children, while also capturing their interest. Plant and maintenance project overview for 2012-2013 Over the course of the last year, the CDSBEO plant and maintenance department has worked diligently toward the completion of an extensive number of upgrades within schools, and board facilities. Manager of plant and maintenance, Bernie Kehoe, presented to the board an overview of the considerable number of projects completed in 44 board facilities, including more than 5,200 work orders, and 120 projects. Classroom additions and renovations were completed at four schools to accommodate new full-day, every day kindergarten programs. Additions/renovations were constructed at the following facilities: St. Finnan’s Catholic School, Alexandria (one classroom renovation),

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Aug. 27 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO’s unveiled the new spiritual theme which will be the religious focus for the next two school years. “Witnesses to Hope – Remembering, Celebrating, Believing” is linked to scripture through 1 Peter 3: 15-16a, which reads, “In your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence.” Superintendent of school effectiveness, Marg SheaLawrence, outlined to the board, they ways in which the theme will translate throughout CDSBEO schools via the religious education program, as well as integrated features for other curriculum areas. A school resource package with key learning objectives structured around the themes of hope, remembering, celebrating, believing and witnessing, provide staff and students with prayers and activities which will be integrated into student learning opportunities. Intermediate and senior classroom activities around the theme will be taken from resources provided by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, which integrates subjects such as poverty, social justice, the environment, and religious freedoms. Additional features of the package include more than 100 daily prayers for announcements, more than 80 scripture references, more than 60 references to the
St. Anne Catholic School, Cornwall (two-classroom addition), St. Gregory Catholic School, Carleton Place (three classroom addition), Holy Cross Catholic School, Kemptville (four classroom renovation), and J.L. Jordan Catholic School, Brockville (one classroom renovation). These new classrooms will be ready to accommodate students for the 2013-2014 school year. In addition to the four major construction projects, a myriad of additional facility upgrades were carried-out un-
der various government grant initiatives. These upgrades include: painting, replacement of flooring and window coverings, asphalt and improved drainage upgrades, flag pole installations, ODA (Ontarians With Disabilities Act) compliant projects, roofing replacement, washroom upgrades, and HVAC, water system and electrical improvements. Playground and gymnasium equipment was also inspected at all schools, and repairs were completed over the summer months. Kehoe also reported that
several projects are currently in the design phase, including a 12 classroom addition at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place (completion September 2015), a four-classroom addition at St. Mary-St. Cecilia in Morrisburg (completion September 2014), and one-room additions and renovations at seven schools to accommodate full-day kindergarten (completion September 2014). Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

KOLYNCHUK Patrick “Pat” James January 18, 1957 Saskatoon, SK August 24, 2013 Calgary, AB
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden accidental passing of Pat Kolynchuk on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at the age of 56 years. Pat was born into a very musical family in Saskatoon, SK where he took up the love of drums at a very young age. In the 1970s, Pat and his brother Ken formed a band called “The Collins Brothers” and they played professionally for fifteen years. Besides music, Pat’s other passions were flying and scuba diving. Pat was also known for his ever positive approach to life, his smile and his wicked sense of humour. Of course, coming from Saskatchewan, Pat was a huge Riders fan and was looking forward to seeing his Riders win the Grey Cup this year at Mosaic Stadium – “Go Riders Go!” Pat is survived by his loving wife Bonnie Mulville; sister Linda Kolynchuk; brother and best friend Ken Kolynchuk; mother-in-law Bernice Mulville; sisters and brothers-in-law, Beth Mulville (Rick Johnston) and Berna Saul (Dave); nieces and nephews, Amber Johnston, Aaron Johnston, Stuart Eales (Daylyn), Michael Saul and Andrew Saul; and his faithful furry companion Kalo. Pat will also be sorely missed by his family, his dear friends, especially Linda Nagel, Dave Klein and their family, and by Drs. Jit Gohill, Arun Lakra and their staff and patients at the Calgary Ophthalmology Centre where he enjoyed working as a licenced optician for the past eighteen years. Pat was predeceased by his mother Josephine (1968), father John (2007), father-in-law Barry Mulville (1999), and niece Stephanie Saul (2010). As per Pat’s wishes, a private family service will be held at a later date. Forward condolences through www. mcinnisandholloway.com. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice. The Kolynchuk/Mulville family would like to thank Constable Bulford of the Waterton RCMP Detachment and the A/ Sgt Barker of the City of Calgary Police for their professionalism and support during this time. In living memory of Pat Kolynchuk, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek Chapel, 14441 BANNISTER ROAD S.E. CALGARY, AB Telephone: 1-800-661-1599.

CARLSON John Macdonald
John passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at the age of 86. He is survived by his loving wife Margaret and his caring daughter Mary. He is also survived by his sons Jamie and Peter and their families. Blessed with a kind heart and a quick wit, he loved to entertain friends and family with reminiscences from his days on the Iroquois in the Canadian Navy, of working in the mining industry in northern Quebec, of learning the art of horticulture in Ottawa South, and the adventures of farming in Oxford Mills. Although he loved travel, he was happiest at home in his garden. He will be remembered for his way with words, his intelligence and his ingenuity, but most of all for being loveable Old John. John was a non-conformist who preferred to leave this world quietly, which he did. At his request, there are no plans for a funeral. Friends and neighbours may stop by at his home on Saturday afternoon, September 7th for a celebration of his life and a glass of Irish whiskey. Donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society or Kemptville District Hospital Foundation.

MOORE, Lorna June 3, 1939 September 7, 2009 Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartaches When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you Silent the tears that fall Living our lives without you Is the hardest part of all. You meant so very much to us Your heart was kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you. The special years will not return When we were all together But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever. Sister Joyce (Ron), Brother Preston (Kay)
FERGUSON - In loving memory of our mom and granny Doris “Dodie” Ferguson, September 01, 2011 Miss you every day Love Dave, Theresa, Jacob, Ethan and Chelsea. I’m Free Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow: I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full I’ve savored much, Good times, good friends, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Don’t lengthened it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. -Author: Unknown

DAMON McCAMON JR. February 11, 1983 – September 7, 2012 It’s been one year since we lost the most wonderful man and Daddy I know. They say there is a reason. They say that time will heal. But neither time nor reason will change the way we feel. Cause no one knows the heartache we try so hard to hide and no one knows how many times we’ve broken down and cried. We cannot bring the old days back when we were all together. The family chain is broken now but our memories live forever. Our house is empty without your laughter but I know you’re in heaven watching over and looking after us. I didn’t see this coming. It hit me by surprise and when you left this world a big part of me died. Your smile could brighten anyone’s day no matter what they were going through, and I know everyday for the rest of our lives we will be missing you. Love forever Donna, Anthony and Addyson XOXOXOXO

Association members considered other ways of supporting the 2015 edition of the plowing match before determining that the cookbook with its back cover ad for the Seed Growers and their annual Ottawa Valley Farm Show provided the highest profile opportunity available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of our mandate,â&#x20AC;? said new OVSGA president John Roosendaal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use some of the proceeds from the farm show to support worthy agricultural causes in our region.

He replaces Kinburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bruce Hudson who shepherded the farm show through its move from Lansdowne Park to the Ernst & Young Centre. Roosendaal praised his predecessor for successfully completing â&#x20AC;&#x153;the toughest job for any president.â&#x20AC;? In filling vacancies, lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orignal farmer Cecil Cass moved up the executive ladder to first vice-president, while David Blair of Pakenham was elected second vice-president. Roy Carver of Ottawa has been named a director at large. Mary Joynt of Smiths Falls and Tom Van Dusen of Russell were given new one-year contracts as association secretary-treasurer and farm show manager respectively.

Community Stream Steward Program receives federal funding News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) Community Stream Steward Program (CSSP), a multi-partner conservation and stewardship initiative, is pleased to receive $30,100 in funding from the newly established
Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program. The program was launched in June by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans and will provide $10 million over two years to help local groups fund conservation
projects that support the protection, restoration and rebuilding of recreational fishing habitat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fishing is enjoyed by more than two million residents and visitors to Ontario. The provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250,000 lakes and innumerable rivers and
streams offer unbeatable fishing opportunities, and the variety of species available is second to none,â&#x20AC;? said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fishing in Canada is big business and contributes over $8 billion
annually to the national economy. This funding will help ensure the protection of fish and fish habitat and provide enhanced fishing opportunities for present and future See STREAM page 35

Almonte resident reports suspicious man in alleged dog snatching attempt By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
News – Pet, companion, man’s best friend: dogs are known to play several different roles in the lives of their human owners, but for some, like Almonte resident Yvonne Jones, they are much more than that. For Jones, her three-yearold purebred boxer, Scully, is like her child, and her closest companion after her own, human children had left the nest. “My dog is my family,” said Jones. “I would be so upset if anything ever happened to her.” But on Thursday, Aug. 22, Jones says she could have lost Scully forever. She and her dog were playing fetch on the grass behind the chip truck on Martin Street North, near Main Street in Almonte, when a man approached the dog with a rope in his hand. Jones says she thinks he was trying to steal her. “He was so bold,” said Jones. “He walked up to the dog like he owned her, even though he could see me standing there.” Jones says the man drove up in a burgundy-coloured van that had a gate behind the front seats and a roof rack. The man was approximately six feet tall and appeared to be in his early 60s. He wore long gloves and rubber boots and left the van door open while he watched the dog. When Jones confronted the man and asked him what he was doing, Jones says that he said he thought the dog was a stray and that he was going to take her to animal control. “It was like he was trying to take my child,” said Jones. “I just couldn’t believe it.” Jones said she thinks that

Yvonne Jones says she considers her three-year-old pure- area who is using the stolen animals for dog fighting, afbred boxer, Scully, to be one of her children. Jones said she ter a suspicious man approached her dog with a rope on fears that there is a dog snatcher in the Mississippi Mills Thursday, Aug. 22. Scully is not the first dog to be stolen from the Almonte area. “You see posters for missing dogs everywhere around town, even in Carleton Place,” she said. “One lady said she had her two dogs stolen right out of her back yard in June.” However, local police have
Team
only had one reported incident of anything of this nature, which they received recently, on Saturday, Aug 24, says Const. Sean Trahan of the Carleton Place Ontario Provincial Police. “We have had no further reports of dogs going missing
under suspicious circumstances or of dogs being stolen,” he said. Jones, however, said she is convinced that someone is stealing dogs from the area for a dog fighting ring. “Dog fighting rings are big money,” said Jones. “I
wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they’re doing.” Trahan, though, says that there have also been no reports or suspicions about dog fighting rings in the surrounding area. “We cannot confirm that there is anything suspicious
going on,” he said. But Jones is adamant that she is going to raise awareness about what happened to her and Scully until someone is caught doing what she said she is sure is behind the multiple missing dog posters. “Scully is so special to me. I don’t know what I would do if something happened to her,” Jones said. Jones wears a hearing aid and says she is almost fully deaf without it. Scully, who has never had any formal training, alerts Jones to knocks on the door, phone calls and other sounds, helping Jones to cope with her day-to-day life. Scully is helpful in more ways than that, though. Jones has had seizures in the past and even now has frequent fits due to a condition she lives with. Scully can sense these things before they happen and will alert Jones and help her find a safe place to be before they occur. “Scully is much more than just a dog to me,” said Jones. “She could save my life someday.” Jones plans to start a campaign to find out what exactly is going on in her community. She says she won’t stop until she has put a stop to it. “I’m going to keep going,” she said. “I want whoever is doing this to know that I am out here, looking for them.” While Jones is determined to put a stop to what she believes is a dog fighting ring, Trahan says he wants to stress that there has only been one reported incident. “We have not had enough reports to start a full investigation,” he said. “But we urge anyone with information to come forward.”

OPP investigate suspicious person in Almonte News – On Aug. 24 at approximately 2:50 p.m. Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a report of a suspicious person in the town of Almonte. A female dog owner was walking her dog in the area of Main Street and Martin Street North around 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 24 when she stopped to play ball with her dog on a vacant lot. The

this behaviour was odd and later called police. The male is described as, early sixties, approximately six feet tall with grey hair. He was wearing long pants, rubber boots and rubber gloves. If anyone has any information they are asked to contact the Lanark County OPP at 1-888-3101122 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Maguire commented. Municipal politicians are also getting in on the excitement of the new hockey season. Maguire said Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc recently issued a challenge to Smiths Falls counterpart Dennis Staples, which he has accepted. That weekend, the Canadians and Bears face off first in Smiths Falls on Sept. 6 and then again the next day in Carleton Place, so LeBlanc suggested the losing town wear the other team’s jersey and fly the other municipality’s flag on their town hall flagpole. The afternoon gives the sister city an opportunity to showcase what they’re all about to the community. “We will be talking about the sister city program and student exchange, which is underway right now with four students and two adult chaperones over in Comrie,” Maguire stated. “They are there until the end of this week.” “The tailgate party is a great
way to sell our student exchange to youth,” he added. “...We’ve had over 40 kids involved in this over close to eight years.” The 15-member sister city committee traditionally offers a student exchange to Franklin in the spring of each year and one to Comrie every two years. They fundraise to complete all of their efforts through events such as the newly-named Sister City Committee Gala Ball held each September, May’s Wine’d Around Downtown, and the fundraising Sister City Barbecue at the Bridge Street Bazaar in August. “Our community does not pay for this. This does not come out of taxpayers’ dollars,” Maguire stressed. “Even though we’re a town committee, we raise our own funds. The town does not pay for any part of this.” The tailgate party will take place rain or shine and Maguire said organizers are prepared if the elements decide to wreak havoc.

Carleton Place Giant Tiger, which sells Canadians souvenirs in store, will have a booth set up offering a selection of items and kids can have their faces painted or receive a Canadians tattoo. As well, anyone who enters the grounds for the party will be issued a ticket and entered into a draw for a series of door prizes. “This event is very family-oriented and there are lots of activities for kids,”

Strongman competitors descend on Town of Carleton Place Sept. 14 By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
Community – Strongman competitors are the stuff of legend, but you don’t have to move to Iceland or Poland to see one. With thousands of dollars in prize money at stake, six strongman champions will battle it out in Carleton Place on Saturday, Sept. 14, competing in five events. The sport of Strongman involves strength athletes who are dedicated to pushing to the limits of their performance. Local resident Volunder (Wally) Thorbjornsson, seven-time Icelandic champion in powerlifting and captain of his homeland’s powerlifting team, spearheaded next weekend’s competition. An accident in 1997 ended Thorbjornsson’s powerlifting strongman career. Today, he is a property developer. Thorbjornsson arrived in Canada from Iceland approximately 11 years ago. He spent the first couple of years
in Ottawa, before moving up to Mississippi Lake where he resides with his wife and four children. Admission to the strongman competition is free. “This type of event always attracts a lot of attention,” said Thorbjornsson, “and I want to bring more visitors to town, put us on the map.” The first two events are the log lift and 20-ton truck pull, taking place at the Market Square and beginning at 11 a.m. The final three events take place on the Wool Growers’ property, commencing at 2:30 p.m. They are the 600-pound farmers’ walk, 400-pound Husafell Stone and overhead 200-pound dumbbell press. Each event is scored, and the contender with the highest total is declared the winner. “I picked the events,” said Thorbjornsson. “They are well known, entertaining to watch and the safest for competitors.” Food vendors will be on site at both the Market Square and Wool Growers. Competing next Saturday are Jean-

Francois Caron (Canada’s Strongest Man 2011 and 2012), Ben Ruckstuhl (Ontario’s Strongest Man 2013), Maxime Boudreault (Ontario’s Strongest Man 2012), Paul Vaillancourt (Ontario’s Strongest Man 2009, 2010 and 2011), Mike Saunders (Quebec’s Strongest Man 2012) and Ari Gunnarsson (Icelandic Strongman). Magnus Ver Magnusson, four-time (1991, 1994, 1995 and 1996) winner
of World’s Strongest Man title, is the competition’s referee. Sam Dubé is the announcer. Ver Magnusson and Thorbjornsson are lifelong friends. “Magnus is the biggest name in the sport,” said Thorbjornsson. This past March, while attending the annual Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio together, the duo spoke about bringing a competition to Carleton Place. “I would like to turn this into an annual event – an international competition at the highest level,” said Thorbjornsson. Competitors arrive in Carleton Place on Friday night, Sept. 13; however, Ver Magnusson will come earlier, visiting with his good friend. “I think everyone is getting together on Friday night at Guidos,” said Thorbjornsson. He is hoping for good weather and a great turnout on Saturday, and thanks all competition sponsors and helpers. “I am working with a small club out of Gatineau – Hyperforce Strength
Athletics,” said Thorbjornsson. “Most of my staff (on Saturday) will be out of that group.” The Market Square is located at the corner of Beckwith Street and Lake Avenue. The Wool Growers is located on Franktown Road. Partnering Thorbjornsson said he spoke to the local Business Improvement Association (BIA) and Chamber of Commerce about a possible venue for the strongman competition. “The Market Square was suggested because the farmers’ market annual chili cook-off is that morning,” he said, “and cross-promotion is a good thing.” Prior to the start of the afternoon events at the Wool Growers, the competitors will head up to Carambeck Community Centre to participate in the Walk to End Childhood Cancers, which begins at 2 p.m. The fundraiser benefits six-year-old Bridget Rose Zavitske. She has stage IV Wilms tumor, a rare kidney cancer.

Legion Week kicks off in Almonte with pig roast Sept. 14 Community – Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 Almonte is kicking off Legion Week this year with a pig roast on Saturday, Sept. 14. Live entertainment, featuring Johnny Spinks and Friends, will start at 3 p.m. and the meal will be served from 5 p.m. onwards. “Legion Week is an opportunity for the community to come together to celebrate the work that the legion does to assist our veterans and others in the local area. Last year’s pig roast was sold out. We would encourage people to get their tickets early, to avoid disappointment,” said local legion president John Souter. To wind up the week, there will be an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22, highlighting the research done by Almonte District High School students. Under the direction of history teacher Jennifer Yake, grade 10 students

researched the biographies of Second World War names, taken from the Almonte, Pakenham and Clayton cenotaphs. Primary research took place at the National Archives of Canada, with follow up interviews with surviving relatives. Enquiries came in from as far away as British Columbia and Scotland. Some of the student work was of such a high standard that one biography is now posted on the Canadian Military Engineers website and two are on the University of New Brunswick’s Teacher Education website. “These young people certainly give meaning to the phrase ‘Lest We Forget,’” added Souter. They have done an absolutely wonderful job and we hope that members of the public will turn up on Sept. 22 to meet some of them and to perhaps fill in a few gaps in their family history.”

Syria: Hurry up and wait Editorials – What does it take? In years to come, if we do nothing in Syria, what will our children, or grandchildren say? What did we do as people died, foaming at the mouth, convulsing in agony, suffocating to death? Why did we just stand idly by as evil was allowed to run amok? Our lack of action appears as validation, despite yet more empty words. If the various rebel groups are finally able to coalesce and push the evil Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power, they will be able to say that the west did nothing while the Syrian people suffered, while they, and their Islamist allies, actually did the heavy lifting and saw Assad out the door. Failing to act now may mean we have to contend with an Islamist state in years to come, partly of our own making, a breeding ground for terrorism against a west that did sweet nothing in their hour of need. The cost of doing nothing is too high, and we will never forgive ourselves in years to come if we don’t, when some other dictator uses chemical weapons. We need to be part of rebuilding Syria, once that day comes, but in order to do so, we need to get rid of Assad. The Syrian people will not know a day’s peace if he continues in office. And his Aug. 21 chemical attacks on his own
people in the Damascus suburbs show that he no longer has the moral leadership – as though he ever possessed it – to govern. As American troops stood poised to push Saddam Hussein’s army from Kuwait in the early 1990s, President Bush the elder felt compelled to say that the war in the Persian Gulf would not be another Vietnam, so long was the shadow cast by that conflict. Now, Obama is in an odd position – a Nobel Peace prize winner who opposed the invasion of Iraq, and doubled down on Afghanistan, is now poised to walk down the same road as Bush the younger: launch military action against a brutal Middle East dictator who has gassed his own people, without a mandate from the United Nations. As of this writing, the United Nations inspectors have not delivered their final report. The British House of Commons has already rejected Prime Minister David Cameron’s call to arms, the first time since the 1700s this has happened, mostly because of political expediency displayed by Ed Miliband, the Labour leader. The Syrians are already painting this as a show of weak-will against the Syrians – this can only give comfort to the Assad regime. While time seemed of the essence, with British
and American missiles ready to rain down on Syria as soon as this past weekend, now, Obama is saying that it could take up to a month for action to take place – time enough for Assad’s evil forces to hide their movable hardware out of harms way, or to nestle them in amongst civilian targets. By going to congress, Obama can politically make the best of a bad situation. If congress votes against authorizing war, Obama has an ‘out’ available to him. If congress backs his plan, he can point to the support of the people’s representatives in carrying out the mission. The evidence is compelling, and while we will not use words like “smoking gun,” or “slam dunk,” we are convinced that military action is needed, in a narrow, limited way, to degrade Assad’s capabilities to gas his own people with sarin, or other deadly gasses. France, America, NATO, and preliminary UN reports link the Assad regime to the chemical attacks last month. They are the only group with the capability of carrying out such attacks within Syria. The rebels are by far angels in this conflict. They too are guilty of atrocities, and elements of
the rebel forces have unsettling links to al-Qaida and other Islamist groups. But then, so too is Assad, essentially a puppet of Iran, being propped up by Hezbollah fighters. Because of obstruction from Russia and China, the United Nations route is simply not an option at this time. Diplomacy has not worked during the last two years. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan tried and failed in his efforts to bring peace. All diplomacy will do now is buy Assad more time to kill more of his enemies. Clearly, he does not care if he kills or makes refugees of half his country, so long as his administration survives. NATO will have to take this on, and, already, their secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said this week that to not respond firmly would “send a dangerous signal to dictators,” that they can, essentially, do whatever they want. What is needed is a no-fly zone over Syria, a blockade, if possible, of arms from Russia and other countries, to Assad’s forces. There are no easy answers in this conflict, and no clear good guys. But the proper thing to do is to pick a position, side with the Syrian people, and do the right thing.

Protection of vulnerable persons needed Opinion – Jerry Hawley received 20 years in prison for starving his disabled brother to death. Ontario Superior Court Justice Lynn Ratushny delivered the sentence in Brockville on Friday, Aug. 30. Taking into account pre-sentence custody, Jerry will spend in the neighbourhood of 17 years behind bars. At the age of 41, Jamie Hawley weighed merely 57 pounds when he passed away in May 2008, reportedly covered in bedsores and feces, and suffering from pneumonia. As the details of this case came out, I was sickened. My heart was broken. How could anyone treat a human being so poorly? Jamie had cerebral palsy and an intellectual disability. Moreover, he was confined to a wheelchair. “People with disabilities should be able to live a life with respect and dignity!” said Kory Earle, president of People First of Ontario (PFO), “and they should feel safe at all times.” PFO advocates on behalf of all people with disabilities. Convicted of manslaughter, Jerry’s criminal trial ended earlier in the year (February). He pleaded guilty to the charge – after the presentation of the prosecution’s case. “Severely neglected, Jamie was used for his money, his disability benefits,” said Earle. The PFO president attended last week’s sentencing. “It was without any question one of the hardest days (for me),” he said. “However, it was all about ensuring Jamie got justice.” People who are vulnerable need to be protect-
ed and have their voices heard. PFO is satisfied with the sentence handed down to Tara Firma Jerry. “Jamie, may you rest in peace knowing that justice was served,” said Earle. Jerry’s 17-year-old daughter, Kiesha Hawley was in the courtroom on Friday. Some people may feel sorry for her. When Earle left the courtroom, he said Kiesha made an “inappropriate comment.” It was: “You all should be shot and killed for your attitude.” Furthermore, he claimed the teenager gave him the middle finger. “This blew me away,” he said. Going forward, as a society, we need to ensure vulnerable and disable residents are protected, and what happened to Jamie is not repeated. On Aug. 21, PFO offered its full support to the family of an autistic boy who received a heartless and disturbing letter recently. The one-page, typed letter was delivered to Brenda Millson of Newcastle, grandmother to 13-year-old Max Begley. He was diagnosed with autism as a toddler. The letter stated that Max “is a hindrance to everyone and will always be that way.” It went on to say that “they should take whatever non-retarded body parts he possesses and donate it to science.” What is this world coming to? The letter concluded with the author stated that Max’s family should “do the right thing and move or euthanize him.” I pray for mankind.

Improve with improv, gain confidence with Be Your Best Acting School kkent@perfprint.ca
Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; You stand up in front of a large crowd of strangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; staring eyes, while they wait, in absolute silence, for you to deliver your presentation. Sweat beads on your forehead and your heart starts to pound. You stammer through your opening lines and pray that it will be over quickly. Public speaking is perhaps one of the most common human fears. We fear making a fool of ourselves, messing up a line, and ultimately, we fear judgement. We lack the confidence it takes to stand comfortably in front of an audience, and therefore dread anything that involves doing so: including any school speeches or presentations. Jennifer Laale, founder of Be Your Best Acting School, hopes to change that. By teaching children aspects of the performing arts and improv, she says she can instill the confidence that it takes to not only speak comfortably in front of a group of people, but also to do whatever it is that they need to do in everyday life in order to succeed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about building confidence and learning to embrace what we might perceive as mistakes,â&#x20AC;? she said. She is now introducing some new classes and projects into her regular rotation, including an anti-bullying workshop, a topical class in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school system. Laale started Be Your Best Acting School 18 years ago when she moved back

Jennifer Laale, founder of Be Your Best Acting School, hopes to help children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and adults â&#x20AC;&#x201C; overcome their fears and gain conďŹ dence by improving with improv and theatre. to Almonte after spending time travelling. She hoped to use her background in performing arts and business to help people become the best they could possibly be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mantra is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Think positive, act kindly, be all you can be, while having fun,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Laale, adding that all of her students can recite it by heart, and do so at the top of their lungs whenever they are asked. And for the last 18 years, she has been
helping kids to follow that mantra in their everyday lives. Laale majored in business and minored in dance at Simon Fraser University, and has always been involved in the performing arts through school productions and plays. After she graduated and travelled, Laale started up a few theatre groups with some friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found that there was a lack of
work for women in the industry,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so we started our own companies.â&#x20AC;? After a few years of that, when she was 23, she decided to settle down in Mississippi Mills and start her acting school. She now teaches multiple classes in Almonte and Carleton Place that are geared towards kids (and adults) of all ages. Through these classes she instructs her students how to gain confidence by helping each other to look and feel good and by embracing all mistakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to teach the kids to turn mistakes into something incredible by improving with improv. There are no true mistakes,â&#x20AC;? said Laale. Over the years, Laale has had dozens of students, a few of whom went on to become locally famous, such as Josie Geuer, from Ottawa radio station the New Hot 89.9, and Jeff Semple, a journalist with CBC. Many of her students, however, went on to become quietly successful, doing the things that they never thought they could do, and they have Laale to thank. A testimonial from Laaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website( www.beyourbest.ca) from 14-year-old student Maleeka Thaker says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a time when I was to afraid to even get up and speak in front of my class, and last year I managed to get the lead role in my school play! I owe it all to you and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for this term!â&#x20AC;? Currently, Laale is working on a video she is calling â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Power of the Performing Arts,â&#x20AC;? in which she interviews her past
students from 18 years ago to now and asks them what they got out of her classes and how it is affects their lives now. Other new classes Laale has in addition to the anti-bullying workshop are: a professional YouTube class, where students are recreating past productions and posting them on the famous video site; and a film and TV class for high school aged kids where she teaches the business side of acting. In addition to her confidence-building improv classes, Laale also offers Gleestyle classes, including a mother and daughter Glee class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible, the magic that happens between a mother and daughter after they spend three and a half hours dancing together,â&#x20AC;? said Laale, laughing. Laaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall session of classes starts Sept. 16 with a 10-week package of classes. After Christmas, another 12-week session will begin for students who wish to continue. Classes currently run in Almonte at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church on Mondays and in Carleton Place at the Zion Memorial United Church on Wednesdays. Classes run based on interest, so Laale urges potential students to call her and express their top picks as soon as possible so she can arrange to run that particular course.

Adding new bird to list was a treat Live Man Auction benefits United Way Oct. 5 Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As I mentioned last week, shorebirds are flying south. Looking into the Almonte waste sanitation ponds from Wolf Grove Road, I saw several Lesser Yellowlegs feeding along the shore. Another birder came by to see what I was looking at. It was Mike Runtz, one of our best birders in Ontario. He was going to walk in to the Potvin Tower on Concession 8, Ramsay ward. I joined him. From the tower platform, good views were had of several shorebirds feeding vigorously. One Greater Yellowlegs was in a far pond, with at least 12 Lesser Yellowlegs nearby. At least four Semi-palmated Sandpipers foraged, then Mike spotted two Bairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sandpipers. These birds were slightly larger than the semi-pals, with wingtips that extend slightly beyond the tail. They are also a warmer

brown colour over the back. A new bird for my year list was a treat. On Aug. 25, Cliff Bennett and Joechim Moenig went to Appleton to explore the wetlands there, by canoe. While checking the maple trees, they observed two Northern Flickers, a Bald Eagle, one Northern Goshawk, three Great Blue Herons, two Green Herons, five Wood Ducks, one Black Duck, a Common Loon, and one Spotted Sandpiper. Even three to four Eastern Phoebes were there. Two weeks ago, Georgina Doe was returning to Carleton Place, driving down Ramsay

As well, Cliff spotted a Pileated Woodpecker in the woods on Aug. 22. Starlings seem to be everywhere as you drive to an appointment or to town. One large flock of more than 80 Canada Geese was feeding in a field on Ramsay Concession 7. Ray Holland, in Pakenham, still has a White-throated Sparrow in his garden. He noted 86 Common Nighthawks over town on Aug. 24, in early evening. They were not calling, but fed as they continued their southern migration.

Canadians open season with two-win, one-loss weekend blair.edwards@metroland.com
Power play fizzles In the game against Ottawa, Carleton Place couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convert on the power play despite six chances with a man advantage. The Jr. Senators were also kept off the scoreboard during two chances on the power play. Canadians forward Tyson Stewart opened the scoring in the first period, with assists from Jim Pearson and Forest Donovan. The lead held until less than six minutes into the second period, when Jr. Senators defenceman Joseph Shecter scored, assisted by Mike Martin and Hunter Racine.
Two minutes later, Jr. Senators forward Justin Charbonneau added to the lead, with assists from Greg Jansz and Eric Clitsome. Jr. Senators Zac Tierney gave Ottawa a two-goal lead nearly 13 minutes into the second period, with assists from Ryan Collins and Chad Millett. With nearly three and a half minutes to play in the second, Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forward Andy Sturtz put the puck in
the net, assisted by Vinny Post and Evan Peterson, making it a one-goal game. But the Senators regained their two-goal lead mid-way through the third period, with Charbonneau scoring his second of the night, assisted by Clitsome and Jansz. The Canadians played their next two games against the Nepean Raiders (Sept. 1) and the Gloucester Raid-

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carleton Place Canadians bounced back from a seasonopening 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Jr. Senators with back-to-back 5-1 victories last weekend. Playing in the CCHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Fall Showcase at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata (Aug. 30 to Sept. 2), the Canadians outshot the Jr. Senators 31-21 Aug. 31, and carried a one-goal lead into the second period, when Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offence ignited for three goals in less than 10 minutes. Carleton Place played its first three games of the season at the Kanata arena during the Showcase. All 12 teams played three regular season games to kick off the 2013-14 season at the Sensplex during the Labour Day weekend. Scouts and recruiters from teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Canadian universities lined the stands to evaluate players during the 18 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important as everyone

Seniors attended 55+ Eastern Regional Games in Cornwall Aug. 20 Sports – On Aug. 20, 55 members of District 7A Senior Games Association travelled to Cornwall to participate in the 55+ Eastern Regional Games which saw more than 400 players from Deep River to Kingston compete in over a dozen different types of activities. The organizing committee, under chair George Baker, received rave reviews for the facilities, food and operation of the games.
Our small district, which covers Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Beckwith and part of Lanark Highlands, came home with several gold medals. For these games they had special medals created with a map of their area, so although second and third place were acknowledged, only first place winners received a medal. Gold medals went to Lila Wade and Donna Bennett in euchre; Ron and Jan Pettem in bid-
euchre; Nancy Cameron and Denyse Brisbois in women’s darts; Heather Lovitt won in women’s singles bowling (age related category); Joanne MacDonald in ladies golf B level; and Barry Pascoe in golf – men’s Callaway. Congratulate them if you meet them for bringing honour to our area. The local district subsidized each player towards their travel expenses since they carpooled. The proceeds from the quilt raf-
fled off in June produced funds for this. Amy McPhail was the winner of the quilt. This district is searching for new enthusiastic seniors to help organize activities here. We need representatives on the executive
– especially some from the Pakenham, Lanark Highlands and Beckwith areas since we cover a wide area. We also need convenors for the Winter Games so if you have an interest in skiing, skat-
ing, hockey, etc., contact Nancy Cameron (njcameron99@hotmail.com) or Marilyn Snedden (msnedden@storm.ca). We’d love to hear from you as these events cannot go ahead without volunteers to run them.

CCHL and Gongshow Gear to grow partnership in 2013-14 hockey season Sports – The Central Canada Tier 1 Junior Hockey League (CCHL) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Gongshow Gear as the official supplier of lifestyle hockey apparel to the league. Last year, Gongshow Gear sponsored the CCHL “Movember” campaign where more than $8,000 was raised in support of prostate cancer and mental health. This year, a major sponsorship has been expanded to include: Labour Day Super Showcase Player of the Game, Hockey Day in Canada Player of the Game, CCHL Goal of the Month, CCHL monthly 3-Stars and the overall 3-Stars for the season. The 12-team league is coming off a great season last year boasting solid parity and former Cornwall Colt Michael Pontarelli earning “Most Outstanding Player” for all of Canada. Kevin Abrams, commissioner of the CCHL is looking forward to another competitive season and very excited over this part-
nership, “we’re thrilled to have Gongshow Gear as a major partner, it’s a natural for us as our players love wearing it and we can both grow our game and apparel together.” The CCHL is one of the many Jr. A leagues that Gongshow Gear has aligned with but the CCHL is a special place as both Gongshow founders Ger McNamee and Craig Kennedy (Kanata Stallions) and Troy Duncan, sales manager, are all alumni of this very league. Duncan, a former Ottawa Junior Senator is thrilled to sponsor the very league he played, “the fact that many of us played in the Central makes it that much more special, it’s the perfect demographic for Gongshow Gear and it means a lot that we can give back to the league that provided us so many great memories.” About the CCHL The current 12-team league began in 1961 and has grown into one of the top Junior A leagues in North America. The league has representation from the eastern
Ontario region which spans from Brockville, Cornwall, Hawkesbury, Pembroke, Smiths Falls, Kemptville and Carleton Place. The city teams include: Nepean, Kanata, Ottawa, Cumberland and Gloucester. The league currently has 251 college commitments to colleges in Canada and the United States and strives to provide opportunities for all players to advance within and beyond the league. CCHL has 18 alumni currently playing in the NHL – these include: Claude Giroux, Dan Boyle, Patrick Sharp, Marc Methot, Jimmy Howard and Wayne Simmons. About Gongshow Gear Gongshow was founded in 2002 by three teammates in the Central Junior “A” Hockey League after identifying the need for a hockey apparel brand that would accurately represent the exciting and exclusive lifestyle that hockey players live. Gongshow was the first Lifestyle Hockey Apparel brand in the
world to hit the market in 2002, and this game changing company has since grown into the largest hockey lifestyle clothing brand in the world – selling in more than 500 retail locations, in 15 countries internationally, and has hailed comparisons to such pio-
neering lifestyle brands as Billabong (surfing lifestyle), and Burton (snowboarding lifestyle). Gongshow is dedicated to a core set of philosophies and strengths: design superiority, highest level of material quality and workmanship, edgy and
trend setting hockey expression, a focus on consumer to brand connection, and strong partnerships with retailers and suppliers For more information on the CCHL and Gongshow, visit www. centraljuniorhockeyleague.ca and www.gongshowgear.com.

If you attended the highly successful 8th Annual Bridge Street Bazaar just last month, you might be surprised to know that this great event came about following a trip that BIA Manager Cathie McOrmond made to the Main Street Festival in our Sister City of Franklin, Tennessee. Cathie knew the event had potential to work here in Carleton Place so she gave it a made-in-and-for-Carleton-Place tweaking, and we’ve since watched the event become ever more popular. And speaking of our BIA … we’ve heard nothing but compliments on the beautiful flowers in the downtown core this year. Over 15 years ago, the late Mayor, Brian Costello, became a champion for beautifying the community and was one of the founding members of Carleton Place in Bloom. He saw firsthand how our twinned community of Comrie, Scotland had benefitted from the Scotland in Bloom program and knew it could work here. And what a success that program has become!

But, most notable of all the Sister City activities are the over 40 student exchanges that have taken place between Carleton Place youth and their ‘twins’ from Scotland and Tennessee in the past seven years. These exchanges give students opportunities to learn at first hand the culture of another country, and to develop long-term relationships with friends from other parts of the world. High school students apply to participate, take part in a screening process, and are matched with students who take part in a similar procedure in their home country. Adult chaperones accompany the students on their exchange trips.
As important as ‘home’ is to all of us, we can always benefit from learning about the culture and practices of other communities. Carleton Place and its Sister Cities of Comrie and Franklin are wonderful examples of what successful twinning relationships are all about.

For the first 3 months
These are just two of the community-wide benefits we have gained from being twinned with Comrie, Scotland and Franklin, Tennessee. The annual Wine’d Around Downtown event in May and school visits with American artists, authors and scientists arranged through the US Embassy are also on the list of events that are a direct result of the relationships. Loosely based on the famous tailgate parties south of the border, the Sister City Committee joins with the Carleton Place Canadians hockey team to kick off another great season of Junior A hockey at the Tailgate Party from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 7, followed by the home-opener game. Now here’s an event where the whole family can join in on the fun!
Initially funded with a small annual budget from the Town, the Sister City Committee is now completely self-supporting. Its biggest fundraising event of the year is the Annual Gala Ball at the Town Hall on September 28. This year’s theme is Evening in Paris and the night will be one to remember.

People First of Ontario ready to elect new leader; challenging times ahead tgesner@perfprint.ca
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In October 2014, People First of Ontario (PFO) will elect a new president, guiding the organization through the next three years. The current leader is Kory Earle. Last Wednesday, Aug. 21, Earle held a press conference in Carleton Place to talk about the challenges that lie ahead for PFO. Although the organization that promotes equality for all persons receives financial assistance from People First of Canada (PFoC), other sources of stable funding must be secured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must get our ducks in a row and start searching for funding for the long haul.â&#x20AC;? PFO must have a solid plan, ensuring it can continue to be the voice for vulnerable people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People First of Ontario has made great strides over the years,â&#x20AC;? said Earle. PFO is truly thankful to have the support of volunteer advisors; however, many more are needed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people who believe in the organization and its mission. Moreover, local chapters must be supported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is extremely important that all members are heard,â&#x20AC;? said Earle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all, this is their movement.â&#x20AC;? There are a number of important issues that must be dealt with: putting an end to picketing in front of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes, employment and inclusive education, to name a few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have done much on the picketing issue, but we need to do more,â&#x20AC;? said Earle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get this bill passed so that peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives are no longer affected. This time is now!â&#x20AC;? Employers in Canada hire only 26 per cent of people with disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my view, this is shameful,â&#x20AC;? said Earle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This needs to change.â&#x20AC;? PFO wants individuals with so-called disabil-
ities put in regular classrooms, not segregated from everyone else. Since day one of his advocacy, Earle has been opposed to institutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no room (in the world) for institutions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each person deserves to be treated equally in the community they live.â&#x20AC;? As a leader, Earle has made some tough decisions; however, he has enjoyed his time with PFO. Bright future After nearly seven years as leader of People First of Lanark County (PFoLC), Earle bid farewell to the organization on Feb. 1, in order to spend more time with his family and look after his health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a hard decision, but I believe I achieved what I set out to do (locally),â&#x20AC;? he said. The PFoLC board passed a motion on March 13 to make Earle the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honourary member. Two weeks later, on March 27, the 27-yearold announced he would seek the presidency of PFoC, running in the 2014 election. Owing to his time at PFoLC, Earle has had the privilege to stand for many people, becoming a very important advocate for vulnerable people and inclusive communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Far too often people get judged and bullied,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is why I continue to fight each day.â&#x20AC;? The head office for PFoC is in Winnipeg; however, if elected, Earle would continue to reside in Carleton Place, travelling back and forth for monthly meetings.

New store in Pakenham has rustic, primitive country charm to spare By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
Business – Distressed furniture, rustic accessories and rural charm seem to be big trends in home décor lately, and one store in Pakenham is cashing in on the popular style with its country theme. Olde Crow Creek celebrated its grand opening Saturday, Aug. 31 with a storewide blanket sale, where all of its charming items were available for 10 per cent off. Described as “primitive country” by owner Angie Bemister, the store sells everything from rustic furniture to old and rusty milk cans. “I’m just passionate about things like that,” said Bemister. “I
was always such an avid consumer of everything like this so I thought, ‘Why not open a store?’” The grand opening featured a barbecue and sold drinks to benefit the Lanark County Food Bank and a crow mascot who handed out candy to kids and mingled with the customers. The store was officially opened at 11 a.m. that day when Mississippi Mills mayor John Levi and two town councillors helped cut the ceremonial ribbon. Bemister runs Olde Crow Creek with her husband, Steve, and sells five different lines of candles, rugs, cards, linens and something called rosehips. “Rosehips are the dried seedpod of a wild rose, and they come in a variety of scents,” said

Bemister. “It’s almost like potpourri, but much more pleasant.” According to the store’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ OldeCrowCreek), rosehips come in a wide range of scents, from Nutmeg Vanilla to Lemon Drop Cookie. Right now, the store is decorated in oranges, reds and yellows, and is filled to the brim with scarecrows and pumpkins for fall. Bemister says that the store will always sell fun, seasonal items in addition to its regular stock. After working a corporate job for several years, Bemister decided it was time for a change and took possession of her store in May of this year. The store had its soft opening Aug. 3 and has been see-
ing growing business ever since. “We’re starting to see people come from Stittsville, Kanata and from everywhere, really, which is what we had hoped for,” said Bemister. “But everyone from Almonte, Pakenham and Carleton Place has been really supportive, too.” As a resident of Kinburn for the last nine years, Bemister said she sometimes had to travel quite far to find items like the ones in her store and she has had people tell her that they are glad to have a store of that kind closer to home. “We’ve had a few ladies in two or three times already,” said Bemister. “I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who loves this stuff so much.”

Fifty dogs for 50 veterans in 50 days; fundraiser brings awareness of PTSD By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – Every journey begins with a single step. For Canadian Armed Forces veteran Medric Cousineau and his service dog, Thai, their journey began on Aug. 1, setting out on a 50-day walk to Ottawa. “They are raising awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among veterans,” said Brian Comeau, “and raising funds to acquire dogs (like Thai) for other veterans suffering from the condition.” At present, Veteran Affairs Canada does not fund service dogs for veterans. Comeau is the 1st vice president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 (Carleton Place). “On Sept. 17, Medric and Thai will come through town,” he said. Carleton Place is the eighth leg of Cousineau’s walk, dubbed Paws Fur Thought.
“His goal is 50 service dogs for 50 veterans in 50 days,” said Comeau. The estimated price tag: $350,000. Legions along his route are organizing fundraising events and making donations to Cousineau’s cause, said Comeau. Keeping Cousineau and Thai company – his wife, Jocelyn. The trio hail from Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. “They walk about 21 kilometres every day,” said Comeau. “Obviously, they are not walking the whole way.” Along the way, supporters have overwhelmed Cousineau. “People have come from miles away to see him and talk to him,” said Comeau. “I am told he is very humble and has a big heart.” Cousineau was paired with Thai, a yellow Lab, in August 2012 by way of the Canine Assistance and Rehabilitation
Services Program (CARES), located in Concordia, Kansas. A former Sea King helicopter navigator, Cousineau was seriously injured during a daring rescue mission off the coast of Newfoundland on Oct. 6, 1986. “He was lowered during a violent storm to rescue to American fisherman,” explained Comeau. “He was battered and almost drowned.” For his bravery, Cousineau received the Star of Courage. Unfortunately, his injuries resulted in serious mental health uses (PTSD), which Cousineau has struggled with for more than 26 years. With her keen sense of smell, Thai can detect changes in her
owner’s body chemistry when he is about to have a nightmare. “Thai will poke him, wake him and change his focus, forcing him to interact with her,” said Comeau. “She has made a huge difference in his life.” Carleton Place and area residents are invited to meet at the cenotaph (corner of Franklin and Beckwith streets) at sunrise (6:45 to 7 a.m.) on Sept. 17 to begin a 20-kilometre walk around town. Cousineau will visit several points of interest, including Market Square, police and fire headquarters on Coleman Street, Carleton Place Manor, Old Train Station, Riverside
Park (Victory Trees), Canoe Club, DRS Technologies, Army Navy & Air Force Club, hospital, Waterside Retirement Community, Stoneridge Manor, Legion, Moore House, Roy Brown mural and Town Hall. “He will stop and talk to people and accept donations along the way,” said Comeau, “and I know it’s a school day, but it would be great for kids to come out and cheer him on.” A talk with Notre Dame Catholic High School students is planned for the afternoon. “In the evening there will be a social gathering at the legion,” said Comeau. “People can come out and meet Medric and Thai.” While at the Moore House,
local Coun. Rob Probert will give a talk about the municipality’s most famous resident – Roy Brown, the First World War flying ace officially credited with shooting down German pilot Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron) on April 21, 1918, in the skies over war-torn France. “At the town hall, mayor Wendy LeBlanc will present Medric with the key to the town,” said Comeau. Cousineau expects to arrive in Ottawa on Sept. 19. “His walk will end at the Canadian War Museum,” said Comeau. Donations to Paws Fur Thought can be made online at www.pawsfurthought1.com.
SAFETY TIPS Heating and Cooking: Never use propane or charcoal barbecues indoors. They are designed for outdoor use only and can quickly cause a buildup of carbon monoxide.

can Council (1962-65) a number of changes occurred in Roman Catholic worship, two of the most prominent being the change from Latin to the vernacular in liturgies and the priest facing toward the congregation instead of away from them. This change in direction was facilitated by the construction of new freestanding altars. In many older churches the original altars were built near the sanctuary wall and had high rear façades. Unfortunately in many Catholic churches these original elaborate altars were torn down in the decades following Vatican II. At Holy Name of Mary Church, the original marble high altar is still
intact and is used to reserve the Blessed Sacrament (the Eucharistic bread consecrated at Mass) while the altar of sacrifice at which the priest presides is located in front of it. It is this newer and simpler wooden altar of sacrifice, installed around 1962, that is being replaced. In the early church Christians were persecuted and often had to gather to worship in private, if not secret. There was a custom of celebrating the Eucharist on or near the tomb of a particular martyr on the anniversary of his or her death. When the church became legal for the first time in the Roman Empire in the fourth century
church buildings began to be built. Many of these early church buildings were constructed over the tombs of famous martyrs (e.g. St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basilica in Rome) but later it became more practical in building churches to simply enclose a small piece of the bodily remains of a martyr or saint (i.e. a relic) in the altar stone on which the Eucharist was celebrated. In the original high altar at Holy Name of Mary Church are relics of the martyrs St. Irenaeus and St. Marcellinus. At our Sept. 12 dedication, the Archbishop will be inserting a relic of the beloved Saint AndrĂŠ Bessette (1845â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1937), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brother AndrĂŠâ&#x20AC;? of Montreal into a cavity in the new altar.
The artisan for the new altar is Mr. John Smit of Dunrobin. He has previously built altars for St. Isidore Parish in South March and Our Mother of Perpetual Help Church in Braeside. Accompanying the new altar is a matching ambo from which Holy Scripture is read. A lectern will complete the trio. Smit will be in attendance for the altar blessing as will the donors of the altar, ambo and lectern. The blessing of the new altar will take place in Holy Name of Mary Church at 7 p.m. on Sept. 12 with a reception at the church to follow. All are welcome.

Lanark County stone and to make it 90 feet by 50 feet with a tower of 15 or 16 feet. Andrew Bell was named as architect. His plans went out to tender, five being received. On April 27, 1869, the award went to Messrs William Willoughby and Oakley. As more money was needed, the Protestants of Ramsay were generous as well as some members of Parliament. On June 29, 1869, the cornerstone of the new church was laid. Building continued through the summer and into the autumn and although the scaffolding was still in place, the roof was on and the dream of the parishioners was realized when Mass was celebrated on Christmas Day in the new church. In recent years, many improvements have enhanced the property of Holy Name of Mary Church. One of the first items was landscaping to set the stage. This was followed by exterior painting on the doors and windows. The interior restoration was a meticulous process as old paint colours and design details were unearthed. The stained glass windows have been restored with only two left to be completed. A new washroom, with handicap access, designed by Peter Mansfield, was installed and tucked into an alcove accessible from the parking lot. A new sound system has been installed in the church. The rectory has been renovated. Also, the marble Communion rail still stands. The large pipe organ, still in use, is a Warren, manufactured in Montreal and donated in 1875. The original high altar of marble still stands in the church which is very rare in most churches now. Father Lindsay Harrison, current parish priest for both Holy Name of Mary and St. Declanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Darling provides the historical background to the installation of the new altar. After the Second Vati-
R0032279898
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Thursday, Sept. 12 of this year, Archbishop Terrence Prendergast will bless and dedicate a new altar at Holy Name of Mary Church in Almonte. Local residents will be interested in the historical background of the Catholic church in our area. Until the 1840s, the spiritual needs of Catholic parishioners were attended to by Father John McDonough, parish priest in Perth. His jurisdiction covered the whole of Lanark County. Travelling by horseback, he said Mass in the homes of various parishioners. In 1842, Father John Hugh McDonough, successor to Father John McDonough, proposed to the local Catholics the idea of building their own church to serve Ramsay, Darling and Lanark. Daniel Shipman, an early entrepreneur in this area, before it was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almonteâ&#x20AC;? donated a gift of land consisting of one and a half acres. This location on Bridge Street remains to this day. The original church in Ramsayville was a frame structure measuring 40 feet by 60 feet and featured clapboard exterior with lathe and plaster interior as well as a small bell tower on the peak of the roof. Sadly, on Christmas night, 1868, flames were seen leaping from the church windows. The building was destroyed; only a few relics remained included the altar stone. Insurance was recovered but the amount of $1,514.66 proved to be precious little to build a new edifice. The determined parishioners vowed to be in a new church for the next Christmas. Temporary quarters were found in Reillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall. A building committee convened on Jan. 6, 1869. A subscription list was opened. People hastened to pledge whatever possible. Some even mortgaged theirs homes or farms. A decision was reached to build the new church of

Nurturing our national nature in Canada’s National Parks By MARY ROBINSON
Lifestyle – Éric Hébert-Daly, national executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS), recently addressed the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) at their 25th anniversary Spring Gathering in Almonte on May 16. In his keynote presentation, ‘Looking Back and Looking Ahead: Nurturing Our National Nature,’ Hébert-Daly revealed three key shifts which have taken place in the approach to conservation in Canada’s National Parks: i) a shift in focus from visitor experience (or tourism) to ecological integrity; ii) a shift from unilateralism to multilateralism in planning; and iii) a shift from parks as isolated spaces or ‘islands’ to networks. Shift to focus on ecological integrity In discussing the first shift, Hébert-Daly referred to Canada’s first national park, established 127 years ago at Banff. When the government heard about the wonderful hot springs discovered by railway workers there, they realized this ‘wild’ natural wonder would be a great attraction for visitors, especially Europeans. The wilderness with its untouched natural beauty represented the country’s ‘soul’ and could be used to showcase Canada. This was the primary reason the National Park program began. In time, more parks were created and activities such as camping, hiking and canoeing became synonymous with Canada’s parks. People loved them and came from all over the world. However, infrastructures to support the cars, campers, food and waste

Right, Éric Hébert-Daly, right, national executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, with Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) board member Iain Wilkes, in Almonte for MVFN’s Spring Gathering, inspired with his “Nurturing our National Nature” talk which focused on historical shifts in approach to conservation in Canada’s national parks. had to be created. Eventually we began to lose sight of the ecological values of our parks, and the wildlife that people were coming to see began to disappear. CPAWS came into existence in 1963, to help monitor and save nature within the parks and to preserve it for future generations. In the 1980s and 1990s CPAWS and local partners in Banff pushed hard to prevent Park encroachment by developers of the Banff town site. This led to a national panel on the ecological integrity of our national parks. Scientists and conservationists recommended that ecological in-
tegrity become the first priority in park management and the National Parks Act was changed accordingly. Scientists were hired by Parks Canada, and ecological monitoring and measurement became a reality. However, looking forward, this priority is being challenged. Parks Canada has suffered massive cutbacks and as a result, ecological monitoring in Canadian parks is hard hit. Developmental pressures in our parks are being felt again as illustrated by Hébert-Daly in a slide he showed of the Jasper Discovery Walk – a massive
glass-bottom platform, overhanging a cliff in Jasper National Park. The intent was to offer visitors an unobstructed view of wildlife, however, animals such as mountain goats will not migrate into areas with such overhangs. Another challenge to ecological integrity in the national parks is that wildlife such as caribou or moose do not recognize park boundaries. Therefore, we need to protect not only what is inside the parks, but we need to consider the impact of development outside the parks as well. With a photo of Gros

Morne National Park as a backdrop, Hébert-Daly talked about the proposed oil fracking just 100 metres outside the park. Clearly, we need buffer zones around the parks so the entire ecosystem will remain healthy and survive. Shift to multilateralism in planning national parks The second big shift around conservation efforts was a shift from a unilateral approach in planning and decision-making to a multilateral one that includes all stakeholders. In the early 1900s the creation of na-
tional parks was done on a very ad-hoc basis. Later, in the 1970s, a look at the ‘big picture’ led to plans to create national parks representing each of the 39 distinct ecoregions in Canada. Presently there are 42 national parks representing 26 eco-regions. Also, in the past, local residents, including First Nations communities were ignored in the creation of our national parks. Hébert-Daly related a story from the 1970s, about a small Lutsel K’e Dene First NaSee MVFN page 38

Shift to focus on ecosystems in national parks In the past, efforts were made to pro-
is becoming increasingly diverse, with immigrants arriving from places which did not offer experiences of wilderness such as are found in our National Parks. Canada is fortunately taking interesting approaches to ensuring that everyone can get ‘back to nature’. This includes creating some ‘island’ parks again which are not connected to others, but which will nevertheless serve a vital purpose. Rouge National Urban Park, in the middle of Toronto, is a new park which will be Canada’s first
national urban park. It cannot be held to the same ecological standards as other national parks, but it will be of great value in providing access to nature for the huge population at its doorstep. Hébert-Daly concluded by acknowledging we have established some amazing protected areas in Canada over the last 127 years. However, we will need constant vigilance in the future to establish and maintain the ecological integrity of our parklands and waters. We cannot act unilaterally to protect places without
inhibiting our future success. We are all inter-connected with our natural environments, and our public natural areas need to be planned and managed at a broader scale than in the past. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists natural history lectures will resume with a new series beginning in September. Details will be released to the media in early September and posted at mvfn. ca. Mary Robinson is a member of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

tion community on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake accessible only by boat or plane. Officials from Ottawa made an unannounced visit to inform the community of plans to develop a national park there. They were listened to and then escorted back to their plane. From then on Hébert-Daly said, to the people of that First Nation community, the word ‘park’ became a ‘four-letter’ word, as the community feared for their land rights and the conversion of their home lands into a public campground. The approach to conservation at that time was clearly unilateral and many ‘bridges were burned’. In more recent years, consultations have involved everyone who will potentially be impacted. For example, the same Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation community is now in negotiation with Parks Canada to create a national park where residents will be the interpreters of their own land and will lead the eco-tourism initiatives. A new 30,000 square kilometre park to be named Thaidene Nene (Land of the Ancestors) is to be announced soon. It will be a fully co-managed national park and an economic model for future generations.
tect natural areas on their own. However, there needs to be interconnectivity between protected wild spaces to maintain the ecological integrity of entire ecosystems. Creating a Caribou Recovery Strategy, for example, is a good first step in caring for the species, but we need to take care of much more to maintain traditional migration routes of these animals, to permit adequate mixing of individuals within the different geographic populations, and to ensure forestry and logging operations do not negatively affect the herds. We need to look at the bigger picture, says Hébert-Daly. Land-use planning, which some may find ‘boring’ is a critical tool for carefully examining the potential of the landscape as a whole, with all relevant players at the table deciding on the best possible use of land. We also need to re-examine what we value in our culture and how to pass this on to the future. We tend not to attribute an economic value to two of our most important resources: clean water and air – the very things that keep us alive and healthy. CPAWS is supporting David Suzuki and his 30 x 30 Nature Challenge for Canadians to get outside in nature for 30 minutes for 30 days in May. This is increasingly important when approximately 80 per cent of Canada’s population live in the cities. Not only that, Hébert-Daly pointed out, our population

Federal government highlights continued support for small businesses surance (EI) premiums by crediting up to $1,000 on their payroll account. As of Aug. 2, more than $209 million has been credited to over 549,000 eligible employers. “Our government is continually working to improve business conditions in Canada, and one of the ways to do this is by keeping taxes low for jobcreating businesses,” said Braid. “Measures like the Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit and the Hiring Credit for Small Businesses help reduce the tax burden on employers and make it easier for companies to grow. In an uncertain global economy, our government’s tax initiatives for jobs and growth is working and serving Canadians well.” This tax relief builds on the support provided to apprentices through the Apprentice Incentive Grant provided in budget 2006 and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant, which was introduced in budget 2009. The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is a federal tax incentive program administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that encourages Canadian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct research and development in Canada. The SR&ED program allows Canadian-controlled private corporations, to earn a refundable Investment Tax Credit (ITC) of 35 per cent on up to $3 million in qualified SR&ED expenditures for SR&ED carried out in Canada. The ITC is fully refundable on qualified SR&ED current expenditures and 40 per cent refundable on qualified SR&ED capital expenditures. For more on the Hiring Credit for Small Business, go to www.cra.gc.ca/ hiringcredit. Additional information on the Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit, and other investment tax credits can be found at: www.cra.gc.ca/smallbusiness and select “Investment Tax Credit.”

News – The Honourable Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., M.P., Minister of National Revenue, and Peter Braid, Member of Parliament for Kitchener, participated in an event and roundtable discussion Aug. 28 in Kitchener with high-tech industry business owners at Communitech Hub to highlight the important tax relief and other measures available to Canadian small businesses. These incentives help small businesses across Canada to create jobs and economic growth. The Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit (AJCTC) is one of the Harper Government’s key measures aimed at providing support to Canadians, including programs and services for those entering the labour market and those looking to upgrade their skills and training. The AJCTC provides businesses a maximum credit of $2,000 per year for the first two-year term of hire for each eligible apprentice. The government also recognizes the importance of supporting the job creation capacity of small businesses by giving them additional incentives to hire new apprentices in eligible trades. As of Oct. 1, 2012, approximately 13,250 employers used the credit to deduct more than $108 million on their income tax returns for the last tax year. “Our government has made real progress in offering tax relief measures that support a more skilled and educated workforce. These initiatives are helping Canada build a strong foundation for future economic growth and job creation,” said Minister Findlay. “Through tax relief measures, grants and support for training programs, we are encouraging apprenticeships and careers in the skilled trades.” Economic Action Plan 2011 introduced the Hiring Credit for Small Business (HCSB). The HCSB stimulates new employment and supports small businesses, while providing relief from the employer’s share of employment in-

Lifestyle – Jean-Claude and Lucille Marcoux of Mt-St-Hilaire, Quebec, are the proud owners of a spectacular piece of automotive history, a 1954 Nash Ambassador Custom Country Club Airflyte two-door hardtop. This turquoise beauty was built in the Nash factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and purchased new by a couple in Kamloops, British Columbia. It was the only car they ever owned! The husband died ten years before his wife, who stored the car till she passed away at age 84. Their family sold the car to an elderly man in Vancouver, who soon fell ill and decided to sell the car. Jean-Claude tells the story: “A man living near Hull, Quebec, across the river from Ottawa, bought the car sight unseen and had it shipped by rail in November 2002. We went there to look at a Studebaker Avanti he had for sale, but when my wife and I saw the Nash we just fell in love with her. It didn’t hurt that Italian designer Sergio Pinin Farina had something to do with her special beauty. Lucille has baptized her ‘Palazzo’ in keeping with her Italian-inspired design.” “We wrote the man a cheque, and were soon on the road heading east. The ride was fantastic – quiet, smooth, and powerful. On that day, I drove her through the 38,000 mile mark. Our Nash was brought to a good mechanic who took her through a complete inspection, tune-up, and minor repairs. He discovered that our new antique was not equipped with fuses but had breakers! Just like in a house…imagine! In 1954! Then our beauty got a brand new paint job. She still had her original turquoise paint that needed some ‘freshin’ up.’ Also, the back bumper was re-chromed. The interior is original except for the front seat recovered with material shipped from Oregon.” “During the last ten years, we’ve been travelling all around Quebec, accumulating thumbs-up and trophies, oftentimes also in the US, even winning First in Class in the 2007 Nashional held in Boston (also featured in Collectible Automobile magazine as part of their coverage of Nash). She’s a knockout and people just love her! I can’t tell you how many people approached us asking if she was for sale (she’s not!).”

Acoustic Blue Monday sees Vancouver duo rock The Cove Inn Arts – The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer from Vancouver, made up of musicians Shawn Hall and Matt Rogers – one of the hottest blues duos in Canada these days – delivered a fabulous show Aug. 26 at Acoustic Blue Monday (ABM) at The Cove Inn, Westport. Coming off a dynamite performance at the Limestone City Blues Festival in Kingston Saturday night, Aug. 24, in front of thousands of people they brought the same great repertoire and energy to the intimate setting of The Cove. The audience absolutely loved them. In fact, one table last night came up from Kingston to catch them again after seeing them for the first time Saturday night. It was not a full house though, unfortunately – about 75 per cent – a bigger crowd than the two previous ABM shows at The Cove this summer but still disappointing for promoter James Doran of Choose
The Blues Productions who puts on these shows. “Look at the quality of artists that we have brought in for this series – some of the best in the country,” he said. “And consider that guests get a sumptuous Cove buffet dinner along with the terrific entertainment – plus some great door prizes – all for only $45! You can spend that much on dinner alone in many restaurants. I just can’t understand why we aren’t sold out for every show. Hopefully we’ll get a big turnout for the last show of the season with Suzie Vinnick to help decide whether we will do this series again next summer or not. I would hate to have to end it but it’s use it or lose it.” Those who did attend weren’t disappointed. “Great music; a wonderSubmitted photo ful evening,” said first-time attendee The latest Acoustic Blue Monday was held at The musicians Shawn Hall and Matt Rogers.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hi, I decided not to chance missing any of this great summer weather weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had so far, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking this week off. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d still love to hear from you with any questions you might have on anything automotive. Perhaps as the summer winds down, how about some comments, stories, opinions, or epic tales of vacation travel by auto. Any lessons learned on the leisure lanes? Any roadside horror stories? How about some tales of triumph of ingenuity over machinery meltdown? Love to read them and share them with our EMC readers! See the email address below (pictures are always welcomed). Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the week off without letting you know that classic chrome season is quickly coming to an end, so get out and catch the classics and the rods while you still can! Like on Sunday, Sept. 8 in Wendover for the Canadian Classic Cars Cruise Night from 3:30 to 8 p.m. Check out www.canadianclassiccars.ca for more information. Or over in Perth, the Mike Bowes Fall Cruise-In rolls into the parking lot of the Perth Civitan Hall on Highway 43 on the outskirts of Perth from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dash plaques go to the first 100 vehicles, door prizes, barbe-

St. James of Jerusalem Anglican Church in Jellyby bids farewell Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a church in the valley by the wildwood, No lovelier spot in the dale; No place is so dear to my childhood, As the little brown church in the vale.
The words of this old familiar hymn come to mind when one envisions St. James of Jerusalem Anglican Church, Jellyby, located on Concession Nine, ElizabethtownKitley. This despite the fact that the church in question is a beautiful red and yellow
brick house of worship having â&#x20AC;&#x153; a central tower with a soaring spire and adorned with pointed windowsâ&#x20AC;? and features an exterior painted clock face on the tower, possibly intended to remind people of the service time and may, in fact, have been intended to
be replaced, in time, with an actual clock. The simple interior with its stunning stained glass window above the communion table features Christ crucified with a medieval knight kneeling at the foot of the cross. This window was a gift of friends in England of the Rev. John Stannage, clergyman in charge of the Mission of North Augusta at this time. As well, while not located in a vale, but rather amid flat farmland, the sentiment of the hymn is undoubtedly accurate to all those for whom this church has been dear throughout their lifetime.
After families, such as the Jelly family, arrived in Canada from Northern Ireland, via United States, and after worshiping in nearby North Augusta for a time, a decision was made on Dec. 1, 1863 to make their dream a reality and build their own neighbourhood church with Mr. John Jelly, Esq. and Mr. Joseph Godkin â&#x20AC;&#x153;appointed church wardens of the intended churchâ&#x20AC;?. The location was considered ideal with it being so close to Jellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station, on the Ottawa and Brockville Railway. Under the guidance of the Rev. John Stannage, on a site
given by Mr. John Jelly, with an acre of land set aside for a graveyard and with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very liberal subscriptionâ&#x20AC;? from John Jelly, the church of St. James, Jellyby was built. From The Canadian Churchman dated Jan. 18, 1865 issue: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new church to be called St. James was opened for divine service on New Years Day, on the Tenth Line of Elizabethtown. The mercury was down to zero, that is 32 degrees of frost, but this did not hinder an immense concourse of people from assembling from all See CHURCH page 45

After close to 150 years, St. James of Jerusalem, Jellyby held its final service on Sunday, Aug. 18.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Easyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;simpleâ&#x20AC;? decisions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always add up to the right financial/estate planning answers. Here are a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I canâ&#x20AC;? decisions to consider just a bit more carefully. I will add an adult child as the joint owner of my investments or property because it will make the distribution of my estate easier. While there are certain situations in which joint ownership of assets can be a sound strategy, you need to look at it from many angles: â&#x20AC;˘ Are you willing to give up control of the asset(s)? â&#x20AC;˘ If your child separates or divorces, do you want the asset(s) potentially divided between your child and an ex-spouse? â&#x20AC;˘ What happens if your child goes bankrupt? â&#x20AC;˘ Are you okay with disinheriting the children of your child, if your child dies shortly before you do? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you intend that your joint owner should share the asset(s) with other beneficiaries (including your other children) in your will or has no obligation to share? If the joint ownership contract between you and your child is not explicitly worded, it could lead to expensive sibling infighting that could eat up the assets. Why go to the expense of retaining a lawyer when all I need is a Will Kit? For starters, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have
Manage Your Money access to expert advice about whether your clause selections are appropriate to your situation. A simple â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitâ&#x20AC;? program wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask key questions about your family and estate structure, such as: â&#x20AC;˘ Is yours is a blended family? If so, you could inadvertently disinherit children from a previous relationship â&#x20AC;˘ Is a beneficiary disabled? If so, it is usually advantageous to establish a discretionary trust in your will to protect that beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to receive social assistance payments. If the beneficiary is mentally disabled, then a trust will also allow you to choose someone to manage the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inheritance. â&#x20AC;˘ Is the charitable organization you wish to leave your estate to properly registered with the CRA as a charity? If it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a tax credit. Nor will a â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitâ&#x20AC;? program provide tax advice or assess the different tax liabilities each beneficiary could face, leading to an inequitable distribution of your estate. In addition, when a lawyer prepares your will, the lawyer has certain obligations under the law to make a basic assessment of your capacity, which could become important evidence later on, if some family members want to challenge your
will. I will give significant sums of money to family members during my lifetime. Whether the money is â&#x20AC;&#x153;giftedâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;loanedâ&#x20AC;? to your children for whatever reason, without the proper advice and direction, there could be a minefield of problems down the road. For example, if the arrangement isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly documented, it could be argued that it was, indeed, a loan or may result in one child receiving a significant gift during your lifetime that unfairly reduces anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inheritance. What you should or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do in situations like these isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always clear. Your legal and professional advisors can bring clarity you need to every aspect of your financial life. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

parts of this and the adjoining townships, thus showing the interest they take in the work of God’s Church. The building will accommodate only 200, but 300 at least crowded into it on this occasion, many standing and filling the aisles and the porch, and the old school house nearby had to be warmed to receive those that could not find entrance into the church and who, otherwise, would have been frost bitten.” Another interesting point from this same issue recounts “Cold as the day was, one of the North Augusta choir took the harmonium from that church in his sleigh, over the snow banks, for the pleasure of helping the music in the new church on that occasion, and for that purpose he had to travel eighteen miles, while Miss [Eliza Ann] Checkly, a young lady of 12, who played the harmonium at North Augusta, was only too happy to do the same at the opening of the new church. Let us hope and pray that this Church may be the means of propagating and keeping up the truth of God’s Pure Word in this place to the latest generation.” And with the dedication, faithful efforts and Christian devotion of those early families - with family names of Gilpin, Berry, Walsh, Pritchard, Moorehouse, Jelly, McLean, Steacy, Greaves, Cosgrove, Bell, Godkin, Tackaberry, Colborne, Chamney, Connor, Langtry, Sutton, Stinson, Davis, Rowsome, Quinn and Payne and the many, many later families - “the little brick church in the glen” lived on serving the community as a place of worship, a place for baptisms, marriages, celebrations of special church events as well as funerals for 150 years. And now we arrive at the year 2013 and reality is dictating changes in the way we worship, the places in which we worship and the number of Submitted photo places that can be sustained in a twenty-first century world. With Above, one of the intricate stained glass windows featured that same trust that was present at St. James of Jerusalem.
in 1864, albeit with a somewhat different sentiment, we must look to the future remembering the words of the prophet Jeremiah, “ ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord. ‘plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Jeremiah 29:11 On Sunday, Aug. 18, a Ser-
vice of Secularizing St. James of Jerusalem, Jellyby took place. St. James of Jerusalem can be reached via County Road 15, to Jellyby Road, travel 7.3 km west on Jellyby Road to just over the railway tracks or from Rockspring’s former General Store, travel 1.4 km east to Mills Road, travel south on Mills Road 2.4 km and then onto Jellyby Road, travel 1.9 km to St.

In the Sportsman portion of the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown Shane Pecore and Doug O’Blenis started on the front row with O’Blenis getting the early lead into turn one. O’Blenis would lead the opening four laps until defending track champion Chris Herbison took control of the race and would open up a full straightaway by lap 10. On lap 13 Tristan Draper spun off turn three bringing out the yellow. When the green flew Herbison was able to keep the top spot but Jon Mills, Dylan Evoy, Shane Pecore and Ryan Poole were starting to make a run. Mills was fresh off a win last week and was working on Herbison but the defending track champion stepped up the pace and pulled away from Mills by the halfway point. With Herbison well out in front of the field the best battle on the race track was for the second spot as Dylan Evoy tried several attempts to get by Mills as they put on a great side by side battle over the next 10 laps. On lap 28 Tristan Draper spun in turn two. On the restart Herbison had clearly the fastest car on the racetrack as he pulled away from the field with Mills, Evoy, Shane Pecore and Steve Barber charging hard in the top five. Chris Herbison has had a season of struggles but he put it all together on this night scoring his second win of the season and in the process wrapped up the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Sportsman Triple Crown. Mills settled for second with Dylan Evoy, third and Shane Pecore locked up the title by taking the green flag and closed out the year with a fourth place run. Jonathan Ferguson rounded out the top five. The Rookie Sportsman were set to close out their season as Scott McGill and Riley Gill led the field into turn one with Gill taking the top spot away. Gill has been turning heads as of late and fresh off a Rookie Sportsman win the night before at Can Am was looking to

On the restart Gill continued to lead but Jasmine David was starting to put the pressure on. David made several attempts at the lead as the laps wound down but Gill was able to hold off all challenges. On lap 11 however Gill’s great run came to an end as he slid off turn 2 handing the lead to Jasmine David. From there on it was no contest as Jasmine David closed out a great rookie season by taking her second win of the year by a full straightaway. Richard Raison came home second with Chris Bakker finishing third and in the process claimed the Rookie Sportsman title. Scott McGill and Riley Gill rounded out the top five.

The top two raced nose to tail through the final four laps but Pascal Racette was not to be denied as he scored his second win of the year over Fetterly who secured his fourth straight track title. Travis Andrews, John Gifford, and Darrick Eaton rounded out the top five.

Massey would hold the top spot until lap three when Marc Matthais brought out the yellow after a spin in turn three. On the restart Joe McNichols was able to work through traffic and take the lead away but points leader Quincy Roberts was right behind him in the second spot.

Sports – Track titles and bragging rights were on the line this past Saturday, Aug. 31 at the Brockville Ontario Speedway (BOS) in all division plus the final points in the first ever Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown for the 358 Modified and Sportsman divisions. The Modifieds were set for 50 laps of racing and with the heads up start format Lee Ladouceur and Jeff Sykes led the field to Gary Vandermeer’s green flag. Sykes was able to use the outside groove to take the lead away as Ladouceur, Danny O’Brien, Brian McDonald and Pat O’Brien completed the top five spots. Sykes was on rails in the opening laps as he held a six-car length lead working the outside lane to perfection until the first caution flew on lap 12 for defending track champion Kyle Dingwall spun in turn four. When the green flew Sykes continued his great run with Danny O’Brien, Brian McDonald, Pat O’Brien and Jason Riddell making up the top five. Danny O’Brien was in pursuit of the lead on lap 20 as Sykes began to enter into lapped traffic. Five laps later, Danny used a slick move in turn three to take away the spot using the bottom side of the speedway. On lap 28 the yellow flew for Luke Stewart who slowed with a flat tire. On the restart Danny took command of the lead but behind him Lee Gill was having quite an adventure. After a near flip in his heat put him 15th on the starting grid Gill tried at will to keep pace with his championship rival. After surviving contact with the wall and dodging several race cars along the way Gill was able to break into the top five by lap 30. On lap 36 the yellow flew again for Joe Banks who spun off turns one and two. When the green flew Danny had the fastest car on the track and despite two late race cautions he would cruise on the his sixth win of the year and clinch the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet 358 Modified Triple Crown with older brother Pat coming home second. Lee Gill came home third sealing up his fifth career

things, but it should never be boring. How boring is it? Well in one of the many chase scenes the director decides to shoot it from the perspective of a camera on the hood of Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. So all you see is the hood of Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car chasing the tail gate of the bad guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. It goes on so long I began to think Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez had quit, and this was the only way the director could finish the film. Frankly the rest of the film
isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much better. To be sure a lot of cars get wrecked, but it just goes on and on and on and it never seems to go anywhere. They could have done more with the main characters to make the film interesting, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother to name two of the four. As far as casts go Voight and Budig are barely worth mentioning as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re barely in the film. I thought putting Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez in the close quarters
of a fast car and a tense situation might be interesting. I was wrong. They play stock characters and give stock performances. Gomez manages to look the part of the bratty rich kid, and Hawke manages to look like he knows how to drive, and that is about it. If you need to see a film with one long car chase, get a copy of The Blues Brothers because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you wreck a bunch of cars.

Children’s entertainers team up New trapping program to provide with conservationist for new album recreational and outdoor benefits to youth Arts – Award-winning Canadian children’s entertainers and stars of Treehouse TV, Splash’N Boots, along with leading Ottawa-based conservationist, Little Ray (director of eastern Ontario’s largest exotic animal rescue, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo), have teamed up to bring you a brand new album, “Keepin’ It Green”. Dedicated to conservation, the new album will feature 10 original Splash’N Boots songs that will keep kids of all ages dancing to its infectious melodies, all while educating listeners about a variety of endangered species found across Canada. Available Aug. 30 at Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo locations across Canada and at www. splashnboots.com, a portion of all proceeds from “Keepin’ It Green” will help support conservation initiatives in your community. “We are so excited about this collaboration with Little Ray,” says Nick Adams, the group’s ‘Splash’. His partner, Perth native, Taes Leavitt is ‘Boots.’ “Conservation is an important topic today, so we are happy to help educate our fans through our music.” “This Splash’N Boots album is a great vehicle to further educate kids and parents alike about endangered species and conser-
vation,” says Paul “Little Ray” Goulet, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo’s director. “We are thrilled that visitors at our zoo will be able to listen to this album at home and continue learning after leaving our facility.” Based in Ottawa and founded in 1995 by husband and wife team Sheri and Paul Goulet, along with the addition of the zoo’s curator, Matthew Korhonen, in 2000, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is proud to have the largest and most diverse animal education outreach program the country has to offer. Annually, they tour coast to coast, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, presenting and performing at museums, fairs, festivals, schools, and more. Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is partners with the SPCA and Humane Societies across Canada, as well as provincial and federal authorities for the placement of unwanted and confiscated reptiles and amphibians. Crowned Canadian Children’s Group of the Year at the 2012 SiriusXM Indie Awards and with several music videos on heavy rotation across the country on Treehouse TV, Splash’N Boots have seven CDs and two full-length DVDs under their belts, as well as more than 1,500 international festival and theatre performanc-
es. Never showing any signs of slowing down, the breakthrough duo recently released their sixth album, “Coconuts Don’t Fall Far From the Tree” which shot up to number one on Bandcamp in its first week. In the fall of 2011, the cuttingedge duo sold-out 2,000 seat theatres in 11 cities across Canada with Treehouse LIVE for the Roll Play Live Animal Party tour – based on Treehouse TV’s award-winning show Roll Play. Subsequently, the breakout pair landed an additional four music videos as well as four half hour episodes of Roll Play that aired nationally in the summer of 2013 on the popular children’s network. Splash’N Boots are constantly connected to their fans via social media channels. With a growing following on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, the two have a lot in store for 2013, including several more Kitchen Jam appearances at Sick Kids Hospital; an organization they continually support, recently donating $1,000 after selling their first 1,000 copies of their “Back in Yellow” CD.

News – The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and the Ontario Fur Managers Federation (OFMF) congratulate the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for introducing a youth trapping program in the province. The announcement was made at the OFMF annual general meeting held in Napanee over the Sept. 24-25 weekend. “Trapping is a heritage activity and by providing an opportunity for youth to be involved, it will enhance their appreciation for the outdoors and instill a lifelong dedication to conservation,” said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo. “The OFAH is pleased that the MNR recognizes that a youth trapping program will not only provide recreational and outdoor benefits, but also pass along knowledge of an activity that is part of the cultural fabric of Canada.” Beginning this fall, youth between the ages of 12 to 15 will be eligible to obtain a trapping license. The license
will permit youth to possess, prepare and sell pelts commercially. To qualify, youth must successfully complete the Fur Harvest, Fur Management and Conservation Course (FHFMCC) and be accompanied by a licensed trapper 18 years of age or older. The FHFMCC provides training with an emphasis on safety, humane trapping techniques and sustainable wildlife management practices. “The Ontario Fur Managers Federation has worked closely with the MNR to make this program a reality, and we are delighted that the government has agreed to move forward on this vital and timely initiative. The introduction of a youth trapping program will allow us to teach young people about the rich history associated with trapping in Ontario, and ensure that future generations understand the key role that trapping and trappers play in terms of conservation, sustainability, wildlife management, protection of crops and livestock
and public safety,” said OFMF president Karl Lindstrom. “Trapping is considered an activity of significant historical, social, cultural and economic value in Ontario for centuries, and one that results in economic benefits to the communities and individuals. Ontario trappers have worked tirelessly for many years towards a program like this which will guide youth to be safe and responsible trappers,” said Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti. For more information, including how to apply, visit www.mnr.gov.on.ca or www. furmanagers.com. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is Ontario’s largest, non-profit, fish and wildlife conservation-based organization, representing 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters, and 710 member clubs. To learn more, visit www.ofah.org. Submitted by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.

OPP: Many off-road deaths attributed to impaired driving and no helmet News – Two recent fatal off-road vehicle (ORV) incidents in one day and a spike in preventable ORV fatalities have the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issuing an important reminder about the dangers of riding impaired and not wearing a helmet. On Aug. 12, the OPP investigated two separate fatal incidents involving ORVs, bringing the total number of lives lost in OPP investigated ORV incidents to nine for 2013. According to the OPP, the two most common factors noted in 2013 fatal ORV investigations are not new to collision investigators. Of the nine fatalities this year, alcohol consumption was a factor in five of the incidents and six of the nine victims were not wearing a helmet. The OPP is issuing an important reminder to all off-road vehicle riders to take the following important safety measures in order to make it home alive and well after a safe and enjoyable riding experience: • Always wear a comfortable, well-
fitted and fastened approved helmet • Never drink and ride • Take a safety course and get to know your equipment • Stay in control and ride within your skill level • Know your responsibilities wherever you ride • Let someone know your trip or activity plans More detailed information about best practices for off-road vehicles and the related laws in Ontario are available through the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) at the following at: www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/ pubs/atv/. The OPP would like to encourage everyone to be a GOOD rider: • Get a helmet on • Operate within your skill level • Obey the laws • Don’t drink and ride Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Community – The second annual Live Man Auction to benefit the United Way of Lanark County is set for Oct. 5 at the Carleton Place Curling Club. Last year’s event raised close to $7,000 for the organization. Above, Ed Merkley, former manager of the Carleton Place LCBO, upped his bid at last year’s auction by strutting his stuff to the song “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” by country music duo Big & Rich. Merkley offered two hours of physical labour and a gift basket. Men wishing to take part in the event should call 613-912-1959.
