Community – The first Lanark County Harvest Festival was held at Beckwith Park Sept. 8. It brought out crowds of people who braved the cool winds to enjoy a day of music and area vendors showcasing local flavours. Geared at supporting businesses and farmers’ markets, the effort was spearheaded by Lanark County Tourism. Above, sisters Autumn Donnelly, 5, left, and Ella Donnelly, 3, show off their pretty painted faces for the camera.

News – The residents of Mississippi Mills will have a chance to give their input on the size of their town’s council at a series of open houses this month. Three meetings will be held by the Town of Mississippi Mills in order to hear any comments, questions, concerns and opinions the public may have on the four models being considered for the composition and size of council. The size of the council of Mississippi Mills has been under review for more than 10 years, since a review was conducted by the firm Wilson and Wade in 2000, according to a backgrounder document compiled by the town. At the time, the firm recommended that the council’s 11-member structure be reduced to one with seven members, but the recommendation was turned down after discussion. Then, in 2004, another review yielded a similar conclusion, but it was turned down by council members at the time. Now, the size of council is again being revisited after a review earlier in 2013 by Fournier Consulting Services resulted in three recommendations: that council be reduced to five or seven members; that a deputy mayor be elected; and that the current ward system be retained. At three public meetings throughout the month of September, the Town of Mississippi Mills will hear the input of local residents as they are required to do by law. After the meetings have been held, the information heard at the open houses will be brought to a Committee of the Whole meeting currently scheduled for Oct. 15. “The open houses are held in order to hear the public’s opinions and to inform them of any decisions that could be made by council,” said Diane Smithson, chief administrative officer for Mississippi Mills. “They are also a chance for the public to

get answers to any questions they may have.” Committee members will then deliberate over the four options available for consideration, while keeping the public’s opinions in mind, and will come to a decision on which of the models is best for the community. Though the deliberation of the Committee of the Whole may take several meetings, the final decision, if there is one made, will be brought to a council meeting tentatively set for Nov. 19. At this meeting, council members will pass a bylaw confirming the chosen model. The new council model, if there is to be one, will take effect in time for the election in October 2014, but the system must be decided upon in time for January when anyone hoping to run for council must submit their application. “Anyone running for council must submit their papers in the new year,” Smithson said. “That’s why everything has to be done before then.” The models There are four models currently being considered by the Town of Mississippi Mills, including one to keep the status quo. Each model follows the current ward structure of the town that has been around since amalgamation in 1998 and also conforms to the ratios of effective representation for each ward. The option numbers for each model have been taken from the backgrounder released by the town on the subject. These are the four options chosen as best for the community out of a large number of original structures. They are: • Option 11: This is the status quo model. The Town of Mississippi Mills currently has a council that is comprised of 11 members: the mayor, four councillors representing Almonte, four councillors representing See SIZE page A/CP2

For Brandum though, some of the real satisfaction comes from how the REAL Deal has touched and helped people, and created local jobs in the environmental field. “We’re very proud
that we have hired from the ranks of our volunteers, and that a number of our volunteers have gained confidence and life and work skills at the REAL Deal and have ‘graduated’ to regular jobs in the community,� she says. The REAL Deal is on Facebook where it regularly posts pictures of new items, its monthly silent auction, special sales and repurposing ideas. The store also keeps a Wish Book, calling customers should their particular item come in. And, it keeps some customer comment books. “Those are so gratifying to read,� says Brandum. “One customer commented that we were ‘busier than Walmart,’ another that she had found her youth here, yet another that the REAL Deal is the best used store in eastern Ontario, and another who found a set of dishes that reminded her of when her children were young – it’s those stories that really touch you.� The REAL Deal Reuse Store is located at 85 William St. W., in Smiths Falls and is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 613283-7999 to check if they can take your donations or to find out if they have a certain item.

News – The REAL Deal Reuse Store is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a storewide 50 per cent off sale. It’s a way of thanking the thousands of supporters who understand how important it is to keep good stuff out of area landfills – and who have consequently helped the REAL Deal to grow. “Between donors and buyers, we now have 10,000 visits a year,� says Susan Brandum, executive director of the REAL Deal. The REAL Deal is a project of the Rideau Environmental Action League, a 24-year-old environmental charity based in Smiths Falls. The store, which is a social enterprise, receives donated goods from householders and renovators, and sells the goods, putting the proceeds into its other environmental projects. It carries kitchenware, decorative items, art, books, sports and recreation goods, jewelry, collectibles, antiques, furniture, small appliances, lighting, hardware, doors, windows, renovation materials, flooring, bathroom vanities, sinks, gardening supplies, pet supplies, craft materials, cds and kids videos, cards, and numerous other things. With the initial support of Guy Saumure & Sons, REAL launched the REAL Deal seven years ago, in the old Parks Canada building opposite Drummonds Gas. But that building had to be torn down, and the REAL Deal was in limbo for a year until it moved into its current location at 85 William St. West, an old municipal works building no longer used by the Town of Smiths Falls that is opposite the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. “Just those few years ago, not a lot of people understood what we were about. But that has completely turned around. People get it now. They’re happy to buy used when the item is available, and they’re really happy their old stuff finds a good home. Today, we’re diverting about 35 tonnes each year from area landfills,� says Brandum. In the five years at their current location, they estimate they have diverted about 140 tonnes from landfills. And the REAL Deal has been something of a model for a few area municipalities that have set up their own reuse centres at their dumps. New customers at the REAL Deal often ask why their purchases are weighed before they leave, and why the clerks ask for their municipality. That’s because the operation collects the weights on goods donated, purchased, and sent to its free tables, to other non-profits, to recycling and to garbage, so it can report those numbers to the municipalities that help support it. Those include Smiths Falls, Drummond/North Elmsley and Montague. Those municipalities in turn get a little extra revenue from Waste Diversion Ontario for the diversions. (Experienced customers occasionally remind the clerks to weigh, if, in a rush, the clerk has forgotten!) The REAL Deal has two part-time paid staff, manager Tracy Thomson, who has a particular passion for collectibles and antiques, and assistant Don Harvey. But it would not function without its incredible group of volunteers. On any given day, from four to eight volunteers are busy on cash, receiving, pricing, cleaning and sorting. About half volunteer the full three days the store is open, meaning they put in 18 hours a week. Over the course of a year, about 35 volunteers contribute to the REAL Deal, and put in an impressive total of 4,500 hours. The REAL Deal is also now a tourist

My Town’s Got Talent showcase coming to a high school near you this month Community – It’s September – time once again for My Town’s Got Talent auditions – where we look for the best talent in Lanark County to showcase at the finale. This year, the event will take place in Carleton Place on Oct. 25. Auditions for this year’s show will take place during the last week of September, with the judges stopping from 4 to 9 p.m. at St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Sept. 23; Smith Falls District Collegiate Institute on Sept. 24; Almonte District High School in Mississippi Mills on Sept. 25, and Carleton Place High School on Sept. 26. The goal: to select the 15 semi-finalists for the show. At the finale, presented by Metroland (EMC) and Town and Country Chrysler, along with Lake 88.1, our celebrity judges, with help from fans in the county through an on-line poll, will select the five finalists. Once again, the evening will feature the audience voting for the overall winner from those five finalists. “The finale in Perth last year was outstanding,� according to Christy Bindhardt, artistic director. “We had an incredible variety of talent, from dancers to solo singers to trios to a guitar instrumentalist to a slam poet.� If you can dance, do poetry, drum, do comedy, or are the best entertainer in whatever you do, then we want you out at our auditions! “All of the details for auditioning are on our website,� noted Bindhardt. The website is www.mtgt.org, where you can also see photos of last year’s
show, which was won by Alexander Cox from Carleton Place. In addition to the auditions for performers, there are also two new categories for youth to participate in. “We wanted to give more youth an opportunity to participate, so this year we are having a Host Competition and a Logo Design Competition,� said Bindhardt. “For the hosts, we are looking for actors, comedians, or youth who just love to talk, to try out to be part of the finale event. The semi-finalists in this competition will each host a athird of the first part of the evening, and then the winner will host the exciting final five portion of the night – and again, the audience will vote for the host with the most!� In addition, there will be a contest for the budding designers in Lanark County who think they are able to create a new logo for My Town’s Got Talent. “We have had the same logo for two years, so it is time to create a new one – and what better way than to have the youth of the county design one for us,� said Bindhardt. “The audience will see all five semi-finalists work at the finale, and will select the winner as well. It’s an opportunity for even more youth to become involved in My Town’s Got Talent!� The venue for this year’s Finale show is the Cafetorium of the Carleton Place High School. “Following tradition, we are moving the Finale to another town again,� said show producer Fraser Scantlebury of the United Way, “and this year, it is Carleton Place’s turn to shine on Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. After the excellent
reception we had in Perth last year, and before that for two years in Almonte, we look forward to strong support from the folks in Carleton Place for this year’s show. We will be going all out to make the finale a professional and fun event for everyone – both the contestants and the audience.� “Once again, this year’s event will feature the ability for fans to vote for their favorite act by donating online to the United Way Lanark County,� continued Scantlebury. “These votes will be combined with the judges’ choices to select the five finalists, who will then perform once more for the audience, who will then vote for the winner. Audience members receive one ballot each, and when the five performances are over, we count up the votes immediately to see who wins. It’s a fun-filled, action packed night, where fifteen hopefuls battle it out to be in the final five, and then go on to try and bring back the title of best in Lanark County to their hometown!� As in previous years, the event is in support of the United Way Lanark County annual fall campaign. All donations at the door for the finale will go towards the United Way’s youth initiatives in Lanark County, supporting the United Way’s five youth centre member agencies. “This is an excellent opportunity for the county to see what our youth member agencies do for the young people in their communities,� noted Johann Ramsaran, chair of the board of the United Way Lanark County. “All five – Carleton Place Youth Centre, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, YAK Youth Centre
SMITHS FALLS KINSMEN in conjunction with ‌
in Perth, Smiths Falls and District Youth Centre, and Take Young People Seriously (TYPS) Youth Centre from Mississippi Mills – will be helping out at the auditions and the final show. At the finale, community members will have the opportunity to meet youth from each centre, and learn about what their local youth centre is doing in their community.� An event such as My Town’s Got Talent takes the generous support of the community, and the United Way would welcome any local businesses or organizations that want to help out and
sponsor the finale. Please contact Emily Danaher, fund development officer, at the United Way Lanark County office (613-253-9074) for further details. “Once again, it’s now up to the youth of the County to come forward and sign up for the auditions,� said Bindhardt. “We have the judges getting ready – and we want to see the best in the county at the auditions. Just go to www.mtgt.org for all the details, or contact the United Way at 613-253-9074, and we will see you there!� Submitted by the United Way of Lanark County.
Runciman to post detailed expense reports on website News – Senator Bob Runciman announced recently he will soon start posting his expenses on his website. “The Senate, as an unelected body, should set the gold standard for public access to spending practices,� Runciman said. “I will post details of spending for travel, hospitality, expenses while in Ottawa for Senate sittings, and other details of my office and research budget.� Runciman said he will follow the lead of Senator Doug Black, of Alberta, who earlier this year became the first member of the Senate to post detailed expenses on his website. Black made accountability a major plank in his 2012 election campaign for the Alberta Senate seat. “I’ve always believed we have an obligation as Senators to be as transparent
as possible, and recent news about Senate spending has only reinforced that belief,� Runciman said. “This is taxpayers’ money and they have a right to know how we’re spending it.� Runciman noted that he was part of the Mike Harris cabinet that implemented the sunshine list in Ontario, requiring the annual disclosure of salaries above $100,000 in the province’s broader public sector. “I think that’s the type of transparency that the public wants, and deserves,� he said. Runciman said he hopes to have the reporting system up and running, with details posted at www.bobrunciman. com, before the Senate resumes sitting this fall.

Hope 4 Hope to host ball tournament Sept. 21-22, benefit dance Oct. 12 Community – Hope 4 Hope is a group of family and friends who have rallied together to raise money for a dear family member and a dear friend. Last year, Hope (Wilkinson) Healey, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After a 12hour surgery, she was told she was cancer free. She continued to be sick for a while, but then began to feel better. Unfortunately, the cancer is back and doctors have told her there is nothing more they can do for her. Hope 4 Hope understands all of the unique challenges Hope and her family are and will be facing. Our goal is to fundraise to be able to provide Hope with some comfort and peace of mind knowing that there is and will be some sort of financial assistance from all the en-
deavours of her family and friends. Beginning in July this year, Hope’s mother and aunts held an online auction with proceeds used to send Hope and husband Joe to Niagara Falls for a well-deserved peaceful and private get away. While visiting Niagara Falls, Hope and Joe were overjoyed with all the generosity, kindness and support they received. Since then Hope 4 Hope has had a yard sale and is continuing with selling of Hope 4 Hope wrist bands. We also received an incredible offer from Walmart (Smiths Falls) to allow us to sell wristbands and have an ‘In Kindness’ donation jar. Walmart (Smiths Falls) has generously offered to match all money collected dollar for dollar. Upcoming events are a Mixed
Slo-Pitch Ball Tournament and a benefit dance. The ball tournament will be hosting 12 teams in Lanark on Sept. 21 and 22. Once again tremendous support and hard work by organizers will be raising support and funds for Hope. The tournament has received donations of some equipment for the tournament. Organizers Dan Wilkinson and Julie Nagle continue to collect donations for raffle items and will also be selling wristbands to help cover costs of barbecue items. All of the proceeds of the tournament are going to Hope 4 Hope. Also coming up on Saturday, Oct. 12 is a benefit dance which will be held at Smiths Falls Civitan Hall. We have been very fortunate to have two live bands with us for
the evening. Royale with Cheese and rukkus have generously offered their musical talents to play great dancing tunes for our guests. The evening will begin at 5 p.m. with a barbecue available for guests to have a bite to eat before the dance begins at 7 p.m. We will also be offering door prizes, raffle draws, a 50/50 draw and a light meal will be provided later in the evening. We are continuing to canvass local merchants, family and friends for contributions of door prizes and raffle items. Anyone interested in contributing in any way, contact Sheila Beaupre at either 613-283-9266 or sheilabeaupre@ripnet.com or Christine Brown at kianraylin@ gmail.com. Submitted by Hope 4 Hope.
Community – The storms that day could have knocked the power out, but it wouldn’t have made any difference. North Bay’s Matthew Hendry, in Smiths Falls for work, got a real kick out of peddling to produce power for the REAL-sponsored Tune Your Ride show Aug. 22. Once the rain finally stopped that day, musicians and singers Jessica Moore, Abigail Lapell and Dana Sipos put on a concert for about 25 people and boaters in Victoria Park. Tune Your Ride peddled from Toronto to Ottawa.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
No safe time to drink alcohol when pregnant DEAR EDITOR: For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines. These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption. The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes, limits for men and women, recommendations for youth and when zero is the limit. Specifically, guideline 4 recommends that the safest choice for those who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding is no alcohol at all. Alcohol exposure in pregnancy can cause birth defects and brain damage to your baby. This lifelong disability is called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and it does not go away as the child ages. For more information and resources, call the health unit or visit our website. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit kicked off a “No safe type, no same time, no safe amount” campaign Sept. 6 and 7 in Smiths Falls and Perth. This message refers to the recommendation that there is no safe time (or trimester) during a pregnancy to drink alcohol, no safe type or brand of alcohol during pregnancy (including coolers,
beer, wine and spirits) and no safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Information was available at any of our partners’ locations in Smiths Falls and Perth: Rob Roy’s, Red Fox, The Golden Arrow, Fiddleheads Bar and Grill, and O’Reilly’s Pub. Fifty per cent of pregnancies are unplanned, so it is possible you drank alcohol before you realized you were pregnant. If this is the case, stop drinking immediately and contact your health care provider. It is important to maintain your health throughout your reproductive years, even if you aren’t planning to have a baby any time soon. This includes monitoring your drinking and living a healthy lifestyle. Remember, if you are not actively preventing pregnancy with a reliable method of birth control, you are planning a pregnancy. A great alternative to drinking alcohol at any time is to substitute alcoholic drinks for non-alcoholic cocktails, also known as “mocktails.” Mocktails are a delicious and fun way to have a drink without the effects of alcohol. For mocktail recipes, visit www.healthunit.org/alcoholdrug/ alcohol/mocktails.htm. Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit
COMMENTARY Time to show off your talents Editorial – Dust off those tap shoes and grab your microphone! Fall is just around the corner and the United Way of Lanark County is once again busy planning its My Town’s Got Talent event. This year’s event will be held in the Carleton Place High School cafetorium on Oct. 25, but there’s still plenty of time for local youth to take part. In addition to the traditional categories (dance, comedy, poetry, etc.), there is also a host competition and logo design competition component to this year’s My Town’s Got Talent. The semi-finals get underway throughout the county during the last week of September, from 4 to 9 p.m.: Sept. 23 at St. John Catholic High School in Perth; Sept. 24 at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute in Smiths Falls; Sept. 25 at Almonte District High School; and Sept. 26 at Carleton Place High School. During the finale, fans throughout the county will select the five finalists, along with help from celebrity judges. This initiative is a great opportunity for the youth of our communities to showcase their special skills, have fun while doing so and raise much-needed funds to continue the efforts of the United Way. All donations will go towards the non-profit organization’s fall campaign and support its youth initiatives in Lanark County, which includes five youth centres. Those looking to lend a helping hand through sponsorship can contact the United Way at 613-253-9074.
Fall fair left a lasting impression for Mary this one year Lifestyle – Weeks had passed since the Renfrew Fair. But I couldn’t get the picture out of my mind. It haunted me when I lay in bed at night, and many times during the day. Had not Uncle Lou sent Mother money in an envelope with the sole purpose of taking us five children to the Renfrew Fair, there is a good chance we may not have gone that year. Mother said money was scarcer than hen’s teeth, and that year we may have to miss the fair. It would be the first time ever, and how Uncle Lou knew of our situation is beyond me. But he always seemed to be there with a helping hand when we needed it most. So crisp bills came...not American, even though Uncle Lou lived in New York, but Canadian money simply sent in an envelope in the mail, with a note scrawled on a piece of note paper saying “enjoy the fair”. So we were going after all. The usual preparations took place. A big lunch packed in an 11 quart basket... shards of ice from the ice house in a glass jar of iced tea...sugar cookies,
and a bowl of sliced cucumbers, radishes, and green onions...there was no such thing as plastic containers, or saran wrap back in the 30’s. A couple blankets to throw down on the grass, and we were all set. Mother had doled out Uncle Lou’s money to each of us to spend as we wished. Audrey said she was sure she had kept back a bill or two, and we kids would never see it. It would go right into the sugar bowl with Mother’s egg money! The three brothers vanished into the crowd at the fairgrounds almost before Father brought the old Model T to a stop. They were told not to spend their money on food...there was plenty under the blanket on the grass! Mother would go to see the embroidery work and the baking, and Father would head for the livestock. My sister Audrey was saddled with looking after me, although there was no danger of a youngster of my age wandering off alone in those days. I knew where the blanket was, and I would be perfectly safe to come Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
and go as I pleased. Audrey said she would give me one half hour, and that was it. Then I was on my own. I told her I would like to just walk around…and wander in front of the big tents where the side-shows were, knowing perfectly well going inside was forbidden territory for me. But always out on the platform was a look of what a quarter would get you inside. I was fascinated at one stage where a little monkey sat on a chair eating a banana. I have no idea what was in the tent, but Audrey assured me it wasn’t suitable for the eyes of a sixyear-old! We wandered on, me holding tightly to Audrey’s hand, passing one tent
after another, all looking very forbidding to me. Then we came to the last tent in the row. A man, who looked like hadn’t seen bath water for a year, was honking through a horn affair inviting people in to see what he called “the oddities of mankind.” I had to ask Audrey what oddities meant, and she said just to look up on the stage. And there stood two little people. Their hair had been cut close to their heads, and they stood just a few feet tall. Their faces were wrinkled, and even at my young age, I saw such sadness and despair in their eyes as they scanned the crowd around the stage. They looked so frightened, and the man kept yelling out to the people in front, that for a quarter...“just twentyfive cents” he said, go into the tent and have a closer look. My heart went out to those two little people on the stage, in the blinding sun, and unbearable heat, and I wanted to climb up the steps and yank the horn out of the man’s hands, and go to the little people and put my arms around them.

I wanted to tell the people who were willing to part with a quarter, to turn away, look the other way. And I started to cry. My eyes connected with one of the little people, and her face, I thought softened, and I smiled in her direction. But the man was already shooing them off the stage and into the tent where those who had paid could get a closer look. I asked my sister why people would pay for this, and I told her I wanted to go to where our blanket was and sit for a spell and try to get the picture out of my mind. That year the rides didn’t seem as much fun, and the candy floss not as sweet. The picture stayed with me long after the Renfrew Fair was over. Like two lost souls, they were. When I went to bed at night after that day at the fair, when it came time for what Mother called our “silent prayers”, I remember the two little people, and I prayed that someone would rescue them from the man with the horn, and the hot tent, and the eyes of strangers. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

CRUISING Community – On Sunday, Sept. 8, the annual Mike Bowes Memorial Cruise-In at the Perth Civitan drew a large crowd despite the cold wind. People from all around the Ottawa Valley brought their cars and enjoyed coffee, barbecue and the craft show. Above Michael Giroux stands with his 1962 AustinHealey, which has only been on the road for one year after he spent over 14 years renovating it. To the right, Bert Brennan shines his ’51 Pontiac, which he restored himself, after the drive to the show.

What to ask when choosing a realtor? Considering taking in renters? Read this first Lifestyle – When it comes to choosing a professional real estate team – from a realtor to a lawyer and home inspector, what do you need to know before selecting who you are going to work with? While there are a number of variables – if you’ve worked with the individual before, if they come referred by someone you trust and how much time you have to spend interviewing – there are some questions that you should ask before making any decisions, says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “For starters, there are over 55,000 realtors in Ontario so narrowing down your search can be a challenge! Look for someone whose knowledge and expertise best suit your needs by doing your research first and asking lots of questions,” says Dorner. Here are some specific
questions to ask realtors, lawyers and home inspectors, courtesy of the Ontario Real Estate Association: What to ask a realtor: • Registered in Ontario and a member of a real estate board? • Credentials, background and references? • Years of experience and area of focus? • Recent sales and listings in the neighbourhood? • Track record for getting list price? • Knowledgeable about the market and financing options? • Opinions on marketability of the home? • Types of services on offer to assist with the buy/sell process? What to ask a lawyer: • Real estate experience? Number of real estate transactions handled? • Availability outside working hours?
this week in
• Fee structure and services provide for fee? • Estimate of all associated legal costs? • How/when will you be alerted, should costs appear likely to exceed estimates? • References? What to ask a home inspector: • What does the home inspection cover? Not cover? • If further inspection is required, what then? • Experience and qualifications? • Cost of the inspection?
“The right real estate team will help guide you through the nuts and bolts of the transaction and really simplify the process – but be sure to ask all your questions up front and choose your team carefully,” says Dorner. Submitted by the Ontario Real Estate Association.
EMC Lifestyle – For homeowners, renting out a room in your home, a basement apartment or purchasing an investment property can be an appealing way to help with the mortgage, utilize extra space or make a real estate investment. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, beyond the additional income, a rental property can be a valuable asset to your investment portfolio, as well as useful for family needs (including housing an aging relative or perhaps as a home for collegeaged children close to campus). “While there are clear benefits, before you consider becoming a landlord, make sure that you have a good grasp of what getting into the rental property business really entails,” says Dorner. Here are a few tips for pro-
spective landlords to get started: • Read the Residential Tenancies Act: Know your rights and responsibilities as a landlord. Understanding the act will help protect you as a landlord and also provide clarity on the roles of landlord and tenant. • Screen tenants: Choose your tenants carefully. Make sure that you have prospective tenants fill out an application, check their references and finally, carry out a credit check through a credit bureau. • Talk to your insurance company: Make sure to notify your home insurance company to avoid liability. • Ensure your rental suite is legal: Make sure your suite complies with municipal bylaws. If the suite is not up to standards, you will not be able to get insurance. • Learn from other landlords:
Do your research and talk to successful landlords who know the lay of the land. Tapping into the expertise of successful and experienced landlords is invaluable for first timers. Understand the responsibility and time commitment necessary in being a landlord and, if you are considering renting out a room in your home, make sure that you are comfortable making concessions in terms of your personal space and privacy. “It is also important to keep in mind that whether your rental suite is in your home or another property, the onus is on you to be available for dealing with anything that goes wrong – from a flooded basement to a broken toilet, you will need to be on call to deal with these situations if and when they should arise,” says Dorner.

Lifestyle – With another school year quickly approaching, it’s a great opportunity for students living away from home for the first time to develop good energy saving habits to reduce electricity bills and save money. To help students become more energy efficient throughout the school year, Hydro One has a handy list of tips: 1) Find out whether your electricity usage will be included in your rent or whether you will be billed separately. 2) If you will be billed separately, check whether Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing applies to you. This pricing plan will help you determine when the cost of electricity is lower throughout the day to better manage your electricity use habits. If you prefer studying late at night, you’re in luck as the lowest charging rate of electricity is at this time. To track your TOU electricity use, sign up for My Account today. 3) Turn off lights when they are not needed, especially if you know you are going to be out for the day. 4) Turn off your computer at night and use built in energy savings standby and hibernate functions when you are not using it throughout the day. 5) Be sure to turn off your television when not in use. LCD and LED models are the most energy efficient so be aware of older, hand-me-down television sets that could be draining your energy usage. 6) Air conditioning can use up a lot of electricity. In order to save money, open windows and consider using a fan, especially during peak hours. 7) Unplug your electronic devices when they are not in use to avoid what is known as phantom power. Phantom power is described as energy consumption that is still being drawn from household gadgets, electronic devices and appliances while they are switched off but plugged in. Plugging your appliances into a power bar can reduce unnecessary power use. 8) During the winter months, keep doors and windows closed, dress warmly, hang thick-lined curtains to keep the heat in and install weather stripping around the doors. This will allow you to minimize the use of electric heaters which use up a lot of energy. 9) Find out how your hot water is heated. If your unit uses a hot water heater, the amount of hot water you use will impact your electricity bill. Although you may enjoy taking long hot showers at home, you will find these showers quickly add up when paying your bill. Also ensure that you have your landlord fix any leaking taps to avoid sending extra money down the drain. 10) If you have a washing machine in your unit, try washing your clothing in cold water and during off-peak hours. Clothes dryers also consume a lot of energy so try and air-dry your clothing over a balcony or in the washroom if possible. Drying clothing during off-peak hours can also help you save money. 11) If possible, install compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) or LED lights which use significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs. Also consider using lamps to light your work area instead of lighting the whole room. 12) If you’re heading home for the holidays be sure to turn off your lights and unplug electronics before you leave. Submitted by Hydro One.
Arts – Fifteen young, local actors, aged between 12 and 17 have been rehearsing this summer to present the Shakespearean tragedy, Othello. It’s a story of love destroyed by manipulation, betrayal and jealous rage. Come and join the young actors of the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre in the round at the Carleton Place Town Hall as they present the first show in the Mississippi Mudds 2013-2014 season theatre line-up. There are two matinee performances at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 20 and Saturday, Oct. 26. Evening performances at 8 p.m. are Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26. All seats $10. You know the story of Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, and very likely you’ve seen it more than once, indeed perhaps have seen two or more versions of it. Even so, it’s an odds-on bet that you’ve never seen a version like this! Alistair Clinton has taken Dickens’ classic and played mischievously with the characters and dialog to turn it into a comedy

Kept simple, roundabouts can be very useful tool most cases. Those weren’t my first thoughts on encountering a roundabout in England however. Instead it was a worried “which way do we go here?” Because in Britain the largest roundabouts provide multiple options and it can be extremely confusing, especially the first time around. And around and around! I will readily admit it was roundabouts that cured me of the temptation to drive in the United Kingdom. My best advice? Use public transit and leave Britain’s roundabouts to the British! Driving on the left hand side of the road is confusing enough. Throw in some huge traffic circles and you have to pry my fingers off the steering wheel at the end of the journey. Still, I will readily admit these complex installations usually work very efficiently. The first circular junction in England opened in 1909 at Letchworth Garden City in the county of Hertfordshire, just north of London. The Letchworth roundabout was intended for the “modern automobile” but also to provide a central island for pedestrians. In Great Britain the modern roundabout really hit its stride in the 1960s and since has evolved into the “beast” I referred to earlier. Sorry, too busy and confusing for me in many cases! Common in Europe However, roundabouts need not be so intimidating. They are in widespread use in Europe. During a visit to Germany and France in 2011 (our friends were driving thankfully) we traveled through countless circular intersections. In most cases drivers had three choices. Go around to

the right (yes, they drive on the right hand side of the road in Continental Europe) and remain on the same road. Exit to the right and take an intersecting artery or circle the island and proceed along a route on the left hand side of the circle. Reasonably straight forward. In fact I’m sure I could manage those kinds of roundabouts! In 2010, the year before our visit to the Black Forest and the Alsace, France could claim more than 30,000 roundabouts. I’ll take the ones in the Alsace over those in Paris however. A Parisian roundabout is a synonym for “hell” based on what we witnessed in the French capital back in 1995. When in Paris stick to public transport, that’s my opinion! Despite my misgivings with respect to certain roundabouts I have seen the light in more recent times. I quite like the ones which are popping up in communities across our region, most notably in Ottawa where many more are slated for development. The reason I have warmed to roundabouts is mainly related to traffic flow. Certainly there is a calming effect involved because drivers are forced to slow down in order to navigate a traffic circle. Very different than in Canada and the United States where motorists are con-
stantly trying to beat traffic lights. Redlight running is a dangerous epidemic. The real advantage though is in keeping traffic moving. Red lights and stop signs force cars and trucks to come to a halt. On busy roadways the resulting back-up of slow moving vehicles (tailbacks as they are called in the UK) can be very time consuming and therefore extremely frustrating for drivers, especially during morning and evening rush hour. Traffic circles evolved early in the 20th century in the US but didn’t particularly catch on until the 1990s when roundabouts came into limited use in parts of the country. Circular intersections met with opposition from Americans who, like me when we first traveled in Britain, knew nothing about them. In fact Americans’ inability to exit roundabouts has been mocked on film. Do you remember Chevy Chase in that hilarious scene from ‘European Vacation’? He became trapped in a London roundabout. Priceless! As we move farther into the 21st century, traffic planners in Canada have discovered the usefulness of traffic circles. I can recall when the only one of significance in Ottawa was at the intersection of Queen Elizabeth Driveway and Prince of Wales Drive, near the Arboretum at the Central Experimental Farm. Now there are a number of them in the nation’s capital, although the only ones I have encountered are in quiet, suburban parts of the city. As I mentioned, many more are on the drawing boards. Kemptville, in our readership area, has at least three that I am aware of. Almonte
has a rather impressive roundabout on its eastern boundary. Last Wednesday I drove our daughter to Ottawa airport to catch a flight to her new home in Regina. I thought we had lots of time. But to avoid all of the construction I was already aware of in Ottawa’s west end I took a more southerly route, hoping to skirt around the trouble spots. I wasn’t the only one! When I reached the intersection of Fallowfield Road and Old Richmond Road the line-up of traffic ahead of us was depressing. We literally crawled from that point until we cleared the busy Barrhaven community. For a time I feared Heather might miss her required check-in time. The reason for the long, slowing moving string of vehicles? Traffic lights! There are three or four in quick succession which caused a back-up on the twolane road that stretched for at least two kilometres. As we inched forward in frustration I broke the silence. “Roundabouts! That would make a big difference here,” I told Heather. “There wouldn’t be a tie-up like this if there were roundabouts at the intersections instead of traffic signals.” I realize roundabouts have their limitations which I’m sure some of you will point out. I would like to see it kept simple here. Roundabouts with half a dozen exits are no fun at all! On average however I think their time has come in Canada and particularly in our largest urban centres.

Lifestyle – I can well remember the first time I encountered a roundabout. When you are driving in England and you come to a roundabout it is not something you soon forget! The highways and byways of Great Britain are notoriously crowded. Try heading to an English seaside resort on August Bank Holiday and you will see what I mean. Roundabouts are another matter entirely. These European highway fixtures have very quickly come into vogue in Canada and eastern Ontario in particular in recent times. But in case you have yet to experience one – which is entirely possible – roundabout is just another word to describe a traffic circle. To further explain, these transportation marvels are circular junctions where traffic is slowed but never really stops. Instead vehicles flow in one direction around a centre island and the driver has a choice of several exits which merge with intersecting roads. When approaching a modern roundabout motorists must always yield to vehicles which are already in the roundabout. Once the lane you plan to enter is clear you can proceed around the circle and either continue on your present route or exit directly onto an intersecting roadway. There are lots of descriptions and diagrams on-line if my explanation fails to suffice! There’s no question roundabouts are safer than traffic signals because they eliminate red light running and the possibility of so called “T-bone” crashes which can be so deadly. They also keep traffic flowing at a much better rate in

Dancing through high school: Almonte local accepted to prestigious ballet program By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
Arts – Ballet is often thought of as one of the most beautiful, refined and difficult forms of dance there is, and so to be accepted into one of the country’s best ballet schools is no doubt a great accomplishment. What’s even more impressive is that one Almonte teen has been accepted before she even starts high school. That is exactly what Lauren Mendham has done. At only 14 years of age, she has been accepted into the Quinte Ballet School of Canada – one of the top five ballet schools in the country. And she has only been seriously studying ballet for one short year. “I’m so excited and happy,” said Lauren. “It’s what I love to do.” Lauren, who looks like she was born to be a ballerina with her long, blonde hair, blue eyes and tall build, began dancing only seven years ago when she and her parents decided it looked like a fun activity to take on outside of school. She began learning several different styles of dance, from jazz, lyrical and contemporary. She spent almost six years immersed in these styles at the Almonte Academy of Dance until last year when she decided she wanted to focus on ballet. “Ballet is my favourite,” Lauren said. “I love to perform and dance.” When she began focusing solely on ballet, Lauren began dancing at Footworks Dance Academy in Carp, where she dances anywhere from 20 to 30 hours a week. Add in hours spent at school and doing homework and Lauren is left with little time to do anything else. “It’s hard to kind of balance
everything,” Lauren said. “But once you get used to it, it gets easier.” Lauren’s schedule is so busy, actually, that her mother, Carman, says that she has to finish up homework during breaks at dance practice, and that she rarely has time to be social. “It is hard to find time to hang out with my friends,” said Lauren. “That’s one of the reasons why I’m so excited to go to this school.” Getting into a school like the Quinte Ballet School of Canada is no easy feat. Lauren had to go through a rigorous auditioning process that included a whole summer of camp and competing against hopefuls from around the world. In the end, as far as her mother knows, Lauren beat out dozens of other dancers to become one of only 23 students. Lauren’s new school, and her first year of high school, began Tuesday just like any other high school – but her experience will be quite different than regular school. The Quinte Ballet School of Canada starts accepting children at the Grade 6 level and acts as a high school-dance school double. Students attend their regular classes at Centennial Secondary School, which is attached to the dance academy, from 8 a.m. to noon; then they switch from regular teenagers into the uber-talented individuals that they are and attend dance classes from 1 to 7:30 p.m. – for a draining 12-hour long day. “It is a long day,” said Lauren, “but it’s not anything I’m not already used to. Plus, once you start dancing, you just want more and more.” Lauren will also be getting a different living experience while she attends the four-year
Team
program at the ballet school. The school, which is located in Belleville, is almost three hours away. She will have to move out of her parents’ house, something that most children don’t get to do until college. “I never expected to see Lauren moving out at only 14,” said Carman. “It is really strange to think about.” As the youngest of three, Lauren will be the last child to move out, leaving her parents to deal with the empty nest four years earlier. “It will certainly be quieter around here, that’s for sure,” Carman said. When she is not back at home visiting her family for weekends and holidays, as she has assured her parents that she will do, Lauren will be living with a billet family and with another girl who will also be attending the school. “I’m really looking forward to it,” said Lauren. “I might get to have a bit more of a social life now that all of my friends will be dancing as much as me.”

Lauren Mendham, 14, has just started at the Quinte Ballet School of Canada, one of the country’s top five dance schools. She is one of just 23 students accepted this year.
Getting into the Quinte Ballet School of Canada is not Lauren’s only claim to fame, however. Only recently she auditioned for an opportunity to dance with the Alberta Ballet Company and was chosen to play a toy soldier in a rendition of The Nutcracker performed at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Lauren has also competed in several dance competitions, including provincial and national levels, in cities including Ottawa and Montreal. In the future, she hopes to be a professional ballerina or a ballet choreographer. “I just want to keep dancing,” she said. “It’s a big part of who I am.”

OPP hires from within, Needham chosen as new detachment commander By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Just as everything changed on 9/11, so too did everything change quickly for Derek Needham, the new detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, just last week. On Wednesday, Sept. 4, the then Staff Sergeant sat before an interviewing committee as one of the candidates to replace outgoing Insp. Gerry Salisbury, who had been the detachment commander for 16 years before announcing his retirement. By the next day, an OPP press release went out announcing that Needham was to be Salisbury’s replacement. Needham was still on vacation, and would take up his position on Monday, Sept. 9. And you thought you had a lot of work waiting for you when you got back to the office after vacation. “I was thrilled to have the confidence and support of the staff,” said Needham of the decision. As one enters Needham’s office, the first imposing image that meets one’s eyes is a blown up, mounted image of the front page of the 9/11 edition of The Record from Bergen, New Jersey, of three emergency workers raising the red, white, and blue at Ground Zero on the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001. “It’s a reminder of the reasons why we do some of the things we do,” said Needham, settling down in a seat beside the iconic image of that terrible day 12 years ago this week. “It represents a turning point in a lot of ways, to law enforcement, to how we do business.” Needham had only been on the job as an OPP officer for a few years at that point, and the memories of that day still

Insp. Derek Needham, the new Lanark County detachment commander for the OPP, stands beside a squad car during his first day on the job. stick with officers who were on the job that day. A native of Kanata, he first served in Morrisburg for a year, before moving to Arnprior for five years, then a five-year posting as a sergeant in Kirkland Lake, before moving to Perth in May of 2009. “I was about five,” when he knew, he said during an interview this past Monday. “‘Policeman’ was (written) there quite often,” as his career of choice, even after other boys and girls had abandoned the notion. But, unlike others for whom policing is their life’s dream, he did not act on the idea until he was in his 20s.
“I wasn’t 20 or 19 coming out of high school,” said Needham. Instead of taking police foundations, he went to Carleton University where he studied economics, before applying to the OPP and taking up police training. Once he graduated, “Dad was pretty proud,” even more so since no other family members had sought out a career with the police. While never taking anything for granted, Needham admitted that Salisbury had succession planning on his mind for some years before his retirement. “You have to make sure that when you walk out the door that there was someone competent to take over,” said Needham, who would often accompany Salisbury to police service board meetings across the county, or even act in his stead when Salisbury was away. While taking nothing for granted, Needham applauded the selection committee for choosing from within the Lanark County ranks. “It makes it easier to lead the transition,” said Needham. “I’m already up to speed with what the issues are and who the people are.” While Salisbury certainly left his mark on the detachment, Needham does not foresee a huge shift in the way business is done at the Highway 7 offices. “There won’t be any huge changes. We run a pretty well run detachment here,” said Needham, though he admits that there are “minor adjustments that we have to make,” with the Perth Police Service’s amalgamation, which occurred last April. “(But) I’ll make changes if we have to,” said Needham. In his spare time, he enjoys cycling
and martial arts. “I love cycling. Lanark County has some beautiful roads,” said Needham. As for his martial arts, he likes to mix it up a bit, pursuing both karate and mixed martial arts. “The karate is great for the mind and the body,” he said. “It is a great way to unwind. It’s a great hobby.” As for mixed martial arts, he has only been in one competition, an exhibition ring fight – which he lost on points, but which he also called, “a good experience.”

It is similar to the Option 10 model but without a deputy mayor position. • Option 7: This model reduces council to the often recommended size of seven and would be comprised of: the mayor, an elected deputy mayor, two councillors representing Almonte, two councillors representing Ramsay and one councillor representing Pakenham.
Smithson says the role of the deputy mayor would act as the mayor’s right hand man/woman: he/she would take responsibility for chairing council meetings if the mayor is absent and would attend events in the case of a scheduling conflict or other absence by the mayor. The deputy mayor would also become the second representative on Lanark County council alongside the mayor.

Needham is quick to stress that he truly enjoys working in Lanark County, and an experience that very morning in the grocery store across the road drove that point home to him. As he perused the produce, an old lady noticed his police uniform and told him, “make sure you pick something healthy.” “Now, where else would you get that, except Lanark County?” he asked with a smile. “Because we (our officers) are plugged into the community, people are not hesitant to approach us.”

PUBLIC NOTICE – WATER RESTRICTIONS DURING RENOVATIONS OF THE ALMONTE WATER TOWER During the months of September and October, the Town of Mississippi Mills will be moving forward with extensive renovations to the Almonte water tower. The renovation project led by McDonald Applicators (New Brunswick) will include a complete cleaning and restoration of the tank coatings as well as various mechanical repairs and upgrades. The scheduled maintenance work involves fully draining the tank, removing all loose paint materials where necessary, and applying new paint finishes throughout all internal and
THE EMC - A/CP2 - Thursday, September 12, 2013
external surfaces. The tower will also be refinished with a new white and blue colour scheme along with a rebranded logo approved by Town Council. The estimated cost of the overall project is $450,000 once all engineering, construction and stand-by costs are factored in. The 625,000 gallon water tower has not been painted since it was originally constructed in 1992, and coating systems are otherwise considered to be past the useful service life. The Town will continue to supply safe and clean drinking water to Almonte residents and businesses for the duration of this major project, however conservation measures will remain in place for the duration of the project. Residents are therefore advised that summer water restrictions will be extended from the normal date of September 30th until October 18th as follows: r 0EE OVNCFSFE BEESFTTFT NBZ XBUFS PO PEE calendar days between the hours of 5am and 9am as well as the period from 7pm till 11pm r &WFO OVNCFSFE BEESFTTFT NBZ XBUFS PO FWFO calendar days between the hours of 5am and 9am as well as the period from 7pm till 11pm The Roads and Public Works Department will also be doing its share to implement conservation measures including suspension of hydrant flushing activities as well as suspension of bulk water sales for the duration of the contract.

Olde Barracks vandalized again; five youths suspected By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – Acts of destruction continue at the Olde Barracks on County Road 29 in Mississippi Mills. Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating after the structure was vandalized twice on the Labour Day weekend. Grant Purdy, owner of The Book Gallery in Carleton Place, has rented space in the building for the last six years, storing thousands of books. “The damage is appalling!” he said. Const. Kim Stapleton is the officer in charge. “I don’t want to comment too much at this time on the investigation,” she said. “I do have five suspects. They are youths.” Stapleton said charges being considered include mischief, break and enter and trespassing. “I don’t want to give you too much information at this time,” she continued, “and I haven’t interviewed everyone.” The Book Gallery, located at the corner of Lake Avenue and Victoria Street, has more than 120,000 new and used books in stock, and another 50,000-plus in storage. “We’ve made two major purchases since Christmas,” said Purdy. “Most of one purchase was in the room trashed – the old dance studio. It’s the classroom at the front of the building.” “We are the only used bookstore in the Ottawa area still buying books,” he added. The majority of the books unboxed and tossed around the room were about history and war.
“These books were organized and ready to go upstairs (to storage),” said Purdy. “There’s at least $5,000 worth of work required, just to get them sorted, repacked and in a usable state.” Steve Hamilton, an employee at The Book Gallery for the last six years, made the shocking discovery on Monday, Sept. 2. The following day, more vandalism occurred. This time, it was on the second floor, and access to the level was gained after padlocks were smashed. “We have tried to barricade the area to keep them out,” said Hamilton. Trespassers gain entry to the building through broken windows and doors. Many of the books stored at the Olde Barracks are sold over the Internet. Almonte businessman Mike Hughes owns the Olde Barracks, one of the few Canadian Cold War installations in the Ottawa area. “Since we have been renting space, the building has been vandalized several times,” said Purdy. Earlier this year (March/April), vandals put 15,000 science fiction books on the floor, knocking over a bunch of bookcases. In a preceding incident, many of the structure’s windows were smashed. As a result, damage is obvious from longterm exposure to the elements. “The space is useful to me at the moment,” said Purdy, when asked why, despite the ongoing vandalism, he continues to leave inventory inside the building. “The rent is acceptable.” Hamilton noted other concerns within the building: broken glass, flooding, black mold and graffiti. The Town of Mississippi Mills is
looking into the situation at the Olde Barracks, according to fire chief Art Brown. “Between the fire and property standards, we should be able to rectify this,” he said. “The town is sending him (Hughes) a notice.” “I am heading out to buy new locks
to secure the second floor of the building,” said Hamilton, “and we will clean the downstairs area that was vandalized, bringing our books upstairs.” The Olde Barracks was constructed in 1962 – a bomb shelter for federal employees. The two-storey structure occupies 12,000 square feet above ground
and 6,000 below ground. As the Cold War tension improved, the Olde Barracks has been a training centre for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the location of the United Way of Lanark County offices, dance studio and an enrichment school. The building is now vacant.

Local developer appealing council decision to Ontario Municipal Board By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – “What’s going on here?” asked Bill Katsoulis, owner of the Thruway Restaurant in Carleton Place, during the town’s policy review committee meeting on July 23. Katsoulis had just learned council – on the advice of the town’s solicitor – would vote to reconsider a motion adopted a month earlier relating to his application for development. On June 25, after months of back and forth with the town, a 4-3 decision paved the way for phase one of Katsoulis’ proposed 55,000 square foot project to move forward. Motion number 12124-20 eliminated a condition requiring the developer to extend (at this point in time) an existing natural drainage course located on his property. “(As a result,) NU Globe Developments Ltd. initiated legal action against the town, and we then sought advice from our lawyer,” said Mayor Wendy LeBlanc. “Council was advised to re-
verse the decision.” “By doing so, the town follows its normal procedures, deals in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner with developers, and protects the interests of taxpayers from unnecessary lawsuits,” she continued. NU Globe Developments Ltd. also has a development application to the town for a proposed multimillion-dollar project that neighbours the Thruway Restaurant. Seeking $1 million, NU Globe Developments Ltd. alleges the municipality favoured the Thruway Restaurant’s development plans over its interest. On July 23, council adopted motion number 13-124-13, which reconsidered motion number 12-124-20 and amended it by deleting the words “excluding Condition No. 1 on 124277.” The motion carried on a vote of four in favour (LeBlanc and councillors Doug Black, Rob Probert and Gary Strike), two opposed (councillor Louis Antonakos and Jerry Flynn) and one member absent (Deputy Mayor Ed Son-
nenburg). Katsoulis is appealing council’s decision to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), citing unlawfully reconsidering its decision to provide Katsoulis with a development permit. The developer’s solicitor is Michael Polowin, a partner in Gowlings Ottawa office. He practices in the area of commercial real estate and municipal and planning law. “Council did not have the legal authority to do what it did,” said Polowin. “A final decision was rendered on June 25.” Specific milestones (steps) apply to development applications. Notice going out to the public, for example. Polowin said that when council adopted motion number 13-124-13 on July 23, which reconsidered motion number 12-124-20 and amended it, the development review process was not followed. Furthermore, contained within motion 13-124-13 were the words “that Council hereby encourages the two developers, NuGlobe and Thruway to settle their

outstanding dispute regarding payment for the intersection on McNeely Avenue without involving the Town of Carleton Place and seeking funds from the taxpayers.” “A condition of development cannot be linked to litigation,” said Polowin. What’s more, this can only be about the development of Katsoulis’ land, not the town’s land or other people’s land (Franktown Road properties) Polowin called the advice given to the town by its solicitor “bad.” The solicitor is confident the OMB will rule in Katsoulis’ favour. “They may even award costs,” he said. “The town knew this was wrong, but they did it anyway,” added Polowin. Background Paul Knowles, the town’s chief administrative officer (CAO), told the Canadian Gazette that for many years, the area east of Franktown Road, including the defined ditch that drains Franktown Road and Highway 7, has drained into a
swampy area that has been historically located on NU Globe Developments Ltd.’s property and the Thruway Restaurant’s property. “During the Walmart project it was determined that the proper way to develop and drain this area was to construct an environmentally sensitive drainage course that would connect the existing ditch to the outlet culverts on McNeely Avenue,” he explained. “This would provide a proper drainage outlet for the entire drainage area.” The first phase of the drainage course was constructed by Walmart. During a meeting on June 18 of this year, it was agreed that both NU Globe Developments Ltd. and the Thruway Restaurant would provide a portion of the drainage course to complete the connection from the existing ditch to the outlet culverts on McNeely Avenue, said Knowles, thereby allowing for the future development of properties along Franktown Road.

Local filmmakers work on documentary highlighting Enerdu project News – Almonte filmmakers Robert and Sharon Newton have been busy this spring and summer working simultaneously on two Almontecentric documentary films. The first focuses on the highly contentious, proposed Enerdu project. It tells the story of an entrepreneur wanting to build a sizable hydro electric plant in the centre of town, and a group of citizens rising up to prevent it. Appropriately, the film is entitled ‘Opposite Banks’. It examines the passion that the citizens of Almonte have for their town, how the project might impact the community, the communication issues that arise when emotions are high, the split in opinions about the project, possible repercussions to
relationships among the residents, and some of the tactics employed by each side in the struggle. The filmmakers have gone to great lengths to take a balanced, unbiased approach to ensure an accurate telling of the story. The film will premiere on Thursday, Sept. 19 at the Almonte Civitan Hall. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the film will begin at 7:30 p.m. Admission will be $10 at the door. The second film is the highly anticipated follow-up to the Newtons’ successful 2012 film ‘Almonte’s Interwoven Past’, which covered the history of Almonte from its inception in the 1820s until the beginning of the end of the mill era in the late 1950s. The new film, ‘Almonte: Transitions’,
will pick up where the first left off and continue right on up to the present. ‘Transitions’ is still in the production stage and the filmmakers would like to reach out to the people of the community who would have pictures, videos and 8mm films of the town taken during the time period that the film covers that they would be willing to share for use in the film. If you do, please call 613-256-2483 or email robnewton@bell.net. The date for the release and premiere of ‘Almonte: Transitions’ has not yet been finalized, but is expected to be late November. Details will follow as Submitted photo soon as they are available. More information on both films is The above picture shows the opening title sequence from the docuavailable at www.newtonproductions. mentary highlighting the Enerdu project. The film premieres on Sept. ca. 19 at the Almonte Civitan Hall.

Mississippi View: What’s making news in and around town By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
News – Here are this week’s needto-know stories in Mississippi Mills. Mississippi Mills Town Council, Sept. 3: 451 Ottawa Street The Council of the Town of Mississippi Mills has approved the East Half Lot 15 at 451 Ottawa Street in Almonte – setting in motion construction that will bring a new health food store to the building complex that houses Equator Coffee Roasters.
Skatepark The Almonte Skatepark Committee gave a presentation before Committee of the Whole Sept. 3 to reveal the final design and outline the costs and construction plan. Sarah Robertson, a member of the skatepark committee, said that the final design is similar to the previous design done by Spectrum Skateparks but that they have removed the stone seating area due to its high cost. “We think we can get another, effective seating area for much less cost,” Robertson said. The project will run at a cost of $500,000 for a 10,000
square foot park. Coun. Denzil Ferguson asked Robertson whether, for that price, the Almonte Skatepark was a Cadillac or a Chevy. “It’s definitely closer to a Cadillac,” said Robertson. “It’s of very high quality and it will blow the other skateparks in the area out of the water.” The original plan was to have construction begin in the spring of 2014, but Robertson says there is almost no hope of that happening. “We would like to start construction before the snow flies next year,” she said. “We’ll be

lucky to do that.” Accessible washrooms The Committee of the Whole recommended that the council award a tender in the amount of $14,099.87 to Mississippi United Construction Ltd. to construct accessible washrooms for the Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. The project was joint with a watersoftener installation, which has already been completed for $1,831.86, leaving the budget for the washroom component at $9,668.32 from the outlined $11,500. The over-expenditure of funds
will come from the unused reserve funds from the Almonte Branch Accessibility Project. Public meetings There will be two public information meetings held by the Town of Mississippi Mills to discuss the motion to allow the operation of All Terrain Vehicles on roads in Lanark County. The first meeting will be held at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 5 p.m.; the second will be held at the Almonte Community Centre on Thursday, Sept. 19 also at 5 p.m.

Hockey fever kicks off for another season Editorial – Students are now settled back in school and there’s a crispness in the air that signals fall is just around the corner. What else is synonymous with fall? The start of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) season, of course. And our hometown Carleton Place Canadians are certainly kicking the season off right. Though they opened their 2013-14 schedule with a loss against the Ottawa Jr. Senators during the CCHL Fall Showcase at the Bell Sensplex Aug. 31, the team quickly turned things around. They followed their season opener with a 5-1 win against the Nepean Raiders Sept. 1 and handed the Gloucester Rangers a 5-1 loss in their final game of the three-day showcase event. Fresh off a 3-2 overtime win in Smiths Falls the evening before, the Canadians held their home opener Sept. 7 in a re-match against the Bears, serving up another 3-1 loss to them. Prior to
the game, the Carleton Place Sister City Committee welcomed the community to come meet staff and players with the hockey club at a tailgate party at the arena. Local fans were also invited to talk shop and find out what staff have up their sleeves for the season. It seems like just yesterday crowds were cheering on the Canadians as they entered the playoffs last season, but were ultimately defeated in a semi-final series against the Cornwall Colts in a heartbreaking Game 7 loss. During that game, the Neelin Street Arena was filled with more than 1,000 cheering fans, which also reaffirmed Carleton Place as a passionate hockey town. The semi-final loss didn’t taint the fact that last season’s finish was the best in the Canadians’ four-season history in the CCHL. They handily won the Robinson Division title with an impressive 40-19-1-2 record, earning second place overall in the league. It was something that wasn’t lost on head coach and gen-

eral manager, Jason Clarke, who at the time noted the division win was “something special.” Clarke’s leadership with the club earned him the CCHL’s coveted ‘GM of the Year’ award from the league. Their inaugural playoff run fittingly began with a quarterfinal series against local rivals, the Smiths Falls Bears. The Canadians fought hard throughout the entire best-of-seven series and it paid off when they won in just five games, earning them the semi-final showdown against Cornwall. Since playing their first Junior A game on Sept. 11, 2009, the young hockey club has failed to disappoint its com-
munity, providing thrilling hockey that showcases the calibre of talent on display in the CCHL today. Early season standouts for the Canadians include forward Evan Peterson and captain Elie Ghantous. Goaltender Justin Laforest has also been a key factor on the ice. And you don’t have to go far to watch this exciting hockey. Individual and season ticket prices are reasonable and the hockey club offers discounts to students, seniors and children. There’s no excuse to not be sitting in the stands as the Canadians kick off another thrilling hockey season.

Reader: Guest speaker at property rights conference to spread “toxic” message Editor’s note: The following letter is in response articles which appeared in the Sept. 5 edition of the Canadian Gazette: ‘MP Reid excited about Canadian property rights conference’ and ‘Hillier enthusiastic about upcoming property rights conference Sept. 13-15.’
DEAR EDITOR: MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier have said they are “excited” and/or “enthusiastic” about the Property Rights Conference in Ottawa from Sept. 13-15. One of the speakers is from the Cato Institute – an American libertarian “think tank,” initially
funded by one of the infamous Koch brothers. The Cato wing nuts have never met a regulation that they like. They are opposed to any attempt to provide for clean air, safe drinking water, controls on any financial institution, legal protection for mi-
nority groups, science-based public policy. The Cato Institute is opposed to public education, public transit, public health care (especially our universal health care), Social Security (Canada Pension Plan/ Old Age Security here in Canada). And the list goes
on and on. The Cato Institute is so far out of the mainstream of public policy groups in the United States that it has to fund many conferences there and around the world in order to spread its toxic messages. It is perhaps reasonable to
assume that there is a major financial involvement of the Cato Institute in the conference in Ottawa. One would hope for better judgment on the part of our elected representatives. Doug Phillips Smiths Falls
Columnist asks readers for favourite places to spot hawks Lifestyle – Our Almonte waste sanitation ponds still have good mud flats for migrating shorebirds. On Sept. 1, Joyce and Mike Jaques walked the trail to the Potvin viewing tower on Concession 8, Ramsay ward. Besides several different shorebirds feeding there, they spotted two Red-necked Phalaropes as well. Not to be outdone, the next morning I walked the same trail to the tower. More than 10 Lesser Yellowlegs, one Greater Yellowlegs, one Semi-palmated Sandpiper and two Baird’s Sandpipers were there. Finally, one juvenile Red-necked Phalarope was in my spotting scope view. I had a good look at this

Phalarope, with its distinct black cap. Only one Canada Goose was present, but in the trees beside the tower, more than 10 Cedar Waxwings were feeding on berries. On Aug. 31, Cliff Bennett with Al Seaman, returned to the Appleton wetlands area. Bird species noted were different from the ones seen Aug. 25. They spotted a Pileated Woodpecker, two female Common Mergansers, one
female Common Yellowthroat, 20 Black Ducks, and five immature Cape May Warblers. The Common Loon, Eastern Phoebes, and Bald Eagle were gone. In a note in OFO News, the newsletter of the Ontario Field Ornithologists, Cindy Cartwright talks about what birders are looking up in the sky for, in fall, besides shorebirds. These birders are looking at migrating raptors, trying to identify them as they pass. There are 15 regularly occurring raptor species observed in Ontario each autumn. Three from our area that leave mid-September are the Broadwinged Hawk, Osprey, and Bald Eagle. Do you have a special lo-
cation where you like to watch hawks? Please call and tell me about it. Last week, on Concession 7, Ramsay ward, Georgina Doe returned to this area Sept. 2, and observed more than 120 Ring-billed Gulls in the fields. Resting on a puddle in the middle of one field, were several Mallards. Sandhill Cranes were spotted by Ray Holland along Highway 15/County Road 29, in fields past Bennies Corners Road, Sept. 3, as they move further south for the winter. Canada Geese are beginning to move south as well. Please call Lynda at 613-2565013 or email bennett@magma.ca with your bird reports.

Community – Fans of the Augusta Street Park music festivals that were held in July could have something else to celebrate soon, as Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole has given the go ahead on fundraising for the proposed splash pad. At its Sept. 3 meeting, Committee of the Whole carried a motion recommending that council approve the plan of the Augusta Street Park Committee to proceed with fundraising for phases two to five of the park’s plan, which includes a phase-five splash pad. In 2011, the Augusta Street Park Committee brought to council a fivephase plan to improve the condition of the small park located in an up-andcoming residential neighbourhood in Almonte. Then, in February of this year, council approved phases one through four, leaving phase five to be considered at a later date. While the first phase of the park’s improvement has been completed, the committee needs funding for the remainder of the work. According to the report compiled for the meeting, the Augusta Street Park Committee is looking to enter an online community funding competition by Aviva Insurance, who awards more than $1 million each year to sponsor the little things that will make a big difference in the community. To apply, the committee must submit their application by Sept. 23.
Community – It’s time to flex your baking muscles! Waterside Retirement Community (WRC) in Carleton Place is ready for fall, the most colourful season of the year, by way of its annual Apple Bake Off – now in its fifth year. The contest is open to all Carleton Place residents. “Five years!” exclaimed Alison Lunn, lifestyles manager at WRC. “It is absolutely amazing!” So dust off your pie plates and cake pans and bring your best apple recipe on Thursday, Sept. 19 to WRC, located at 105 McNeely Ave. “Entries must be delivered by 1 p.m.,” stressed Lunn. Judging begins at 1:30 p.m., followed by a taste testing for everyone to enjoy at 2:30 p.m. Prizes will be handed out to first, second and third place finishers. A trio of special judges will award points based on apple essence, eye appeal and overall taste. “Recipes can be anything apple,” said Lunn. Dishes submitted last year: almond apple torte, apple blossoms, apple dumplings, apple pie, apple strudel, autumn apple crisp, baked apples with whipped cream, cheesy apple torte, honey caramel apple bundt cake, oatmeal apple cookies and upside down apple cake. “One year we had an apple pizza,” said Lunn. For additional information about the Apple Bake Off, contact Lunn at 613253-2010. Therefore, while the splash pad and phase five have not been approved by council, the committee asked for permission to fundraise for it and the other uncompleted phases. “We would rather apply for funds for all of the work that has yet to be done,” said Calvin Murphy, Town of Mississippi Mills recreation co-ordinator and a member of the park’s committee. “Not only would potentially receive more funds, but we would just rather do

it all in one shot.” Committee of the Whole members had some concerns and input for the park’s committee to hear. Coun. Denzil Ferguson brought up the issue of the decision that if there were to be a splash pad installed in Almonte, it would be built in Gemmill Park, but Coun. Shaun McLaughlin said putting all the town’s amenities in Gemmill Park would be a mistake. “Not all the attractions need to be in

the centre of town,” McLaughlin said. “Especially since they’re getting a new skatepark. Why can’t the splash pad go somewhere else?” Mayor John Levi said he was concerned about Augusta Street Park’s ability to accommodate a large number of people, saying that the splash pad would surely attract numerous people from all over town. “When the five Wednesdays in July concerts were held, we had probably 70 to 100 people there

Augusta Street Park makes a splash at council, goes ahead with fundraising each time,” said Coun. Watters, referring to the music festivals held at the park, “and no one ever had a problem parking.” In the end, Committee of the Whole decided to recommend that council allow the Augusta Street Park Committee to proceed with fundraising for all five phases, including the splash pad, and that they would deliberate over the actual construction of the project at an upcoming meeting.

Mississippi Mills author wins silver Global E-book Award for first novel By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Love and war, war and love. These are subjects that have been written about perhaps more than any other, because of their confusing and unpredictable nature. These conflicting concepts are also at the centre of the newest book by a local Mississippi Mills author. On Aug. 19, Mississippi Mills town councillor and author Shaun J. McLaughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first novel, Counter Currents, was awarded silver in Dan Poynterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global E-book Awards in the Historical Fiction (Modern) category. The book, which now holds one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier e-book awards, is set in the era of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Patriot War. The story begins in the year 1837 and follows protagonist Ryan, 19, as he joins Bill Johnson, a real historical figure who has been called the Pirate of the Thousand Islands. The story weaves real and fictitious characters through a narrative that deals with the conflicting ideals of love and war, all while focusing on what

McLaughlin says is Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forgotten war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found the subject of the Patriot War fascinating,â&#x20AC;? said McLaughlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such an interesting part of our history here and yet no one remembers it.â&#x20AC;? The war began in 1838 after rebels in the United States attacked Upper Canada, which is now Ontario, 13 times. At least 85 people were killed and several Americans were shipped to a penal colony in Tasmania. McLaughlin began writing the novel after his love of history and his interest in the Patriot War compelled him to do so. First he wrote a novella with the same plot, which is a condensed version of Counter Currents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of my friends read it and said they liked it,â&#x20AC;? said McLaughlin of his novella. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then the owner of Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tale told me I should turn it into a full length novel, so I did.â&#x20AC;? The self-published novel hit the stands in March of 2012 after months of research, reading and writing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say that 95 per cent of my research was done online, by reading

four months to write, a relatively short amount of time for a full-length novel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a while, in fiction writing, the plot directs itself,â&#x20AC;? said McLaughlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things often happen that you never planned to happen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they happen because the characters demanded it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very different from non-fiction.â&#x20AC;? McLaughlin began his writing career as a journalist, earning his honours degree in the profession from Humber College in 1975 and his Masters in journalism from Carleton University in 1995. His blog, Raiders and Rebels, has been his forum for his history-buff thoughts for years, but now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken a shine to writing novels. He has written two non-fiction history books now, which have both been published by The History Press out of the United States. The first, called The Patriot War Along the Michigan-Canada Border, will be released at the end of September. Also in the works is the sequel to Counter Currents, which McLaughlin has given the working title Black Southern Sun. The novel will follow the main

character, Ryan, as he is in Australia immediately after the ending of the first book. The plot will cover the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest gold rush and Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only rebellion in history. He hopes to have it on store shelves by 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The award will help tell readers that my book is of good quality and plot and worth reading,â&#x20AC;? said McLaughlin, explaining that in the world of selfpublished e-books, a lot of stories can be riddled with grammatical errors and bad plots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most e-books are lucky to sell 150 copies,â&#x20AC;? he said. His book, to date, has sold more than 800. Winning the award also means he will receive a silver sticker that he can print on the cover of his novel, which was designed by his wife, Amelia Ah-You. His book is currently sold in all e-book formats, including Amazon, Kobo and iBook, as well as in the old-fashioned hard copy format at Mill Street Books in Almonte and Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Store in Carleton Place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write for the money,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do it because I feel drawn to, almost compelled.â&#x20AC;?

Community – Participants braved the cold, windy day on Saturday, Sept. 7 to compete in the annual Fall 400 Dragon Boat Festival at the Carleton Place Canoe Club. Above, two dragonboats slow down after crossing the finish line in a close race. Left, people constantly milled around the posted race results and schedules, looking for their team names. Below left, the Prior Chest Nuts, donned in pink in support of breast cancer awareness, paddle down to the start of their final race. Below right, despite the chilly autumn temperatures, kids were playing in the splash pads at Riverside Park, soaking through their jackets.

Ed McPherson is the new Lanark County Ambulance Service Chief The new Chief of the Lanark County Ambulance Service (LCAS) plans to elevate the organization’s service level and visibility in the community. “We are currently working to qualify our paramedics to start IVs (intravenous fluids) in the ambulance, instead of waiting until the patient gets to the Hospital,” says Ed McPherson, who assumed the role of LCAS Chief on May 27, 2013, following the retirement of James McIsaac. “We also hope to introduce a full Acute STEMI program, which will allow the paramedics to transfer this type of major heart attack patient directly to either Ottawa or Kingston where they will receive advanced cardiac care.” Changing the look of the LCAS ambulances and uniforms is also part of the new Chief’s plans. “This will lead to a higher visibility of our professional paramedic service,” Mr. McPherson explained. “We also want to be more involved in the community and in identifying people at risk, so we can work with other agencies to assist them.” Born and raised in Perth, Mr. McPherson was studying psychology at Queen’s University when he took a
summer job with the Perth Ambulance service. “I loved it right away,” he said. “I left Queen’s and enrolled in the Algonquin College ambulance program.” After graduating from Algonquin in 1981, Mr. McPherson took a part-time job with the Perth ambulance service, and also became one of 60 paramedics hand-picked by the then- Ontario Ministry of Health to train paramedics across the province. He has been involved in a variety of provincial and regional
training and certification programs ever since. While still working part-time in Perth, he also took on a full-time job with the Ottawa ambulance service, and, for one four-year period, worked full-time for both services. He became Perth Base Supervisor in the late 1990s, Perth Base Manager after the LCAS was formed in 2000, and Deputy Chief in 2003. Almonte General Hospital (AGH) operates the LCAS, in partnership with Lanark County. LCAS’s 85 paramedics serve Almonte, Perth, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Lanark. “LCAS is one of three hospital-based services in Ontario,” said Mr. McPherson. “We benefit from the power of the County behind us and all the expertise at AGH.” In addition to his role at LCAS, Mr. McPherson has been a member of Perth Town Council for 20 years. He currently chairs Council’s Finance Committee. He and his wife have three children. “I love my job; every single day is different,” he says. “Even after 32 years, I enjoy it as much today as the day I started.”

IN MEMORIAM
ROSBOROUGH, Margaret (Currie) – November 2, 1936 - September 16, 2012. One year ago today we lost the most significant woman in our lives - treasured mother, mother-in-law, nanny, great nanny, sister, sister-in-law and mistress. No one knew when she went into the hospital in late August she would never return to her beloved family and home. She fought a hard battle but she just wanted to go to sleep - knowing in her heart she would be reunited with her “Johnnie”. Oh how she missed Dad. They say time heals but the pain of loss is as strong today as on the day we lost her. Mom lives on in all of us and we thank God we did have her for as long as we did. Loving and missing you always, Debbie, Cindy, Michael, JoAnne, Monty and Families

Since you’ve gone first and I remain One thing I’ll have you do Walk slowly down the path of death, For soon I’ll follow you. I want to know each step you take, That I may walk the same, For some day down that lonely road, You’ll hear me call your names. Always remembered and loved, Ruth

JOHNSTON, Clarence F. – Sept. 1, 1928-Sept. 2, 2003 – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. He is gone but not forgotten, And, as dawns another year; In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near.

HUDSON September 15, 1989– March 8, 2009 Pumpkin, If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven, And bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say ‘goodbye’, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to love you, No one can ever know. But now I know you want me, To mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times, Life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today, A hallowed place within my heart, Is where you’ll always stay. Love your Fairy Godmother Corny

Connected to your community
Stepping into the spotlight at recent MERA concert changed, its great to see live music now available at The Golden Arrow Pub & Eatery (previously the Crown & Thistle) in Perth. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve caught a couple of
father and son together but this evening brought not only father Chris on pedal steel, harmonica, guitar and trumpet but sister Jenny providing some vocals on a few and brother-in-law Joey Wright on mandolin and guitar throughout. Close family friend, Melwood Cutlery joined in on a George Jones song â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;She Thinks I Still Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Like I said, it was a rare occasion. Now Dan is a shy, quiet guy. He tends to speak through his instruments and in that light he filled the room all night. Whether on mandolin, guitar, vocals or harmonica he excelled. Playing a Willie P. Bennett song, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Country Squallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, opened the show followed by Charlie Sizemoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Really Goneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Joey and Dan smoked the place with a mandolin duet of one of Joeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tennessee Blues/Liza Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I took a seat in the front row just so I could get a glimpse of the fingers at work and between Dan, Joey and also Chris on pedal steel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to say much was a blur. It was spellbinding playing. You could feel Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shyness at the beginning but as things moved along and the comfort of the room and family swaddled him, his most inner self was exposed through his picking and harp blowing. He was definitely in the spotlight and he shone. Wonderful versions of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wino The Clownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by George Jones and Jenny joining on vocals of Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; song â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Take Your Time and Do It Rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kept the show in the stratosphere. Jenny also joined Dan on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Halls of Folsomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and a spine tingling a cappella duet of the gospel tune, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Willinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; To Tryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Dan shared heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d played in a jazz band with his dad for 10 years and together they played â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nearness of Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a Hoagy Carmichael tune with Dan playing Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sweet sounding Joe Pass Signature hollow body guitar which added a vintage, classic sound. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the venue mystique only added to the offering of such timeless, well played tunes. Thanks everyone who made this evening a memorable one. Check out MERAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website (www.meraschoolhouse.org) for some more great upcoming shows. Though the name has

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was like stepping back in time as we ran from the dryness of our car through the pouring rain and stepped, like the thousands before us over the years, into the security of MERA (McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners/Elphin Recreation and Arts) run historic McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners Schoolhouse, built around 1860. Rural community buildings like this were used for all sorts of gatherings of the local populace besides the educational origins and it was for one of these noneducational but enchanting evenings of music that we scurried into the schoolhouse, welcoming its dryness and seeping history as well as the camaraderie of others organizing and attending. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help noticing the well-worn hardwood floors throughout, wood panel walls, chain hung lights and a large wooden spinning wheel perched in reverence atop an ancient upright piano overseeing the concert room. Historically themed quilts and weavings grace the walls as we settle to take in a rare occurrence. We often become familiar with music groups via their front performers, rarely hearing much of the backing musicians. Multi-instrumentalist Dan Whiteley is one of those â&#x20AC;&#x153;behind the scenesâ&#x20AC;? or usual backing sidemen who share their talents to make someone else sound just that much better. A member of one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most notable musical clans, he is multiple Juno awardwinning Jenny Whiteleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Toronto keyboardist, Jesseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, blues veteran Chris Whiteleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son and blues/gospel balladeer Ken Whiteleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nephew. Growing up in a musical household he got an early start recording with his sister Jenny on Raffi and their father Chris and uncle Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discs before Jenny and Dan formed the 1998 Juno nominated bluegrass group Heartbreak Hill whom I had the privilege of seeing at Festival of Friends in Hamilton on a couple of occasions. Over the years, Dan has played â&#x20AC;&#x153;behind the scenesâ&#x20AC;? for Fathead, Prairie Oyster, Amy Milan, Luther Wright, Jenny Whiteley, Joey Wright (his brother-in-law) to name but a few. I point out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;behind the scenesâ&#x20AC;? usual location of Dan because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what made this evening even more special. Dan was stepping into the spotlight to promote his new CD aptly titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of the Spotlightâ&#x20AC;?. Even more special was Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guests as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often we get to hear

LOCAL NEWS A week later, on June 25, Katsoulis told council that the creek would be dealt with in phase three of his planned project. Furthermore, he expressed it was extremely important for phase one proceed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a deadline for getting the anchor tenant (McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) in the ground,â&#x20AC;? said Katsoulis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, no project.â&#x20AC;? As a result, motion number 12-12420 was carried. Opinion â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the advice of our solicitor, this item was revisited at last eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting (July 23) to ensure that the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisions reflected impartiality and could not be interpreted to favour one developer (Katsoulis) over another (NU Globe Developments Ltd.),â&#x20AC;? said LeBlanc, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and to ensure consistent application of policies.â&#x20AC;? She explained the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term practice requires developers to include provisions to accommodate upstream development. For example, during the first phase of the Canadian Tire Store construction, the services and drainage were extended to McNeely Avenue so that the properties west of McNeely could develop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Tim Hortons and Walmart, both west of McNeely, were constructed, provisions were required to be put
in place to extend services to the west boundary line in anticipation of further upstream development occurring to the west,â&#x20AC;? said LeBlanc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a common, standard planning practice.â&#x20AC;? As stated above, Katsoulis informed council he would deal with the drainage issue when he develops the remainder of his property, in phase three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By permitting Mr. Katsoulis to do this work at an unspecified later date, it could impede the timely development of upstream properties,â&#x20AC;? said LeBlanc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could be construed as favouring one developer over another.â&#x20AC;? Probert fully supported the decision made to return to the original planning requirements expected on the Thruway Restaurant proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no cash requirement to be spent by the developer (Katsoulis) at this time,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it will give certainty to the planning process for that entire area of the town.â&#x20AC;? Probertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote on July 23 was consistent with his vote on the original motion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When calmer heads prevail, I hope this project can proceed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council is blamed and accused of causing delays and putting up roadblocks on this development. I do not think that is the case and do think that normal planning policies need to be and should be followed by members of council.â&#x20AC;? Black, chair of planning and protective services, is very pleased with the majority of council voting in favour of
the motion presented on July 23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that sound planning principals have been followed and both developers being treated fairly, we look forward to the completion of both these exciting projects for the Town of Carleton Place,â&#x20AC;? he said. Strike explained his vote on June 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was led to believe by the developer that voting in favour (of including condition number one on 124277) would hold up the construction of McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and we would loose or the developer would loose McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want that to happen.â&#x20AC;? The next morning, after the vote, Strike said that he realized that was not true and he had made a mistake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This action would impede NU Globe Developments Ltd.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development, the Franktown Road property ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future development and our new proposed Industrial Park on the Doyle Property, which represents millions of dollars in development fees and future taxes to the town,â&#x20AC;? he said. Strike offered to correct the mistake by rescinding the motion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Developers must pay their fair share of all costs related to their development,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The town or the taxpayers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay anything towards the cost of a development. There have been occasions, however, where the town has extended services knowing that it will recover all costs, including interest when developers connect to those services.â&#x20AC;? According to Knowles, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was im-
portant to protect the interest of the upstream properties and ensure that the Thruway (Restaurant) provided their portion of the drainage course within a defined time.â&#x20AC;? However, recognizing the Thruway
Restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns with timing, the town has said nothing related to the drainage course is required until June 2014 so as not to interfere with the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Katsoulisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anchor tenant for phase one of his development.

Harvest lanterns light labyrinth Sept. 21 Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Saturday, Sept. 21, the warm glow of lanterns of all shapes and sizes will illuminate the path of Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community labyrinth for the fifth Harvest Lantern Labyrinth Walk. Festivities take place at 7 p.m. behind the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum at the corner of George and Baines streets in Carleton Place. The Labyrinth Committee (TLC) of Carleton Place invites you to bring out your lanterns and join an evening walk. Luminaries will be flickering along the labyrinthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path and colourful handcrafted lanterns will be set aglow in Labyrinth Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Borrow a lantern from us or bring your own creation!â&#x20AC;? says TLC chairperson Debby Lytle.
Along with a candlelit path, expect to enjoy music, and refreshments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all chosen for the harvest theme. For those who are new to the labyrinth experience, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect chance to visit the site and discover the serenity and simplicity of walking a labyrinth. The Harvest Lantern Labyrinth Walk has become a popular fall event, as individuals and families from across the region bring along their festive lanterns, enjoy a walk in the crisp autumn air, and cozy up to a roaring bonfire. Garden benches and a wheelchair-accessible contemplation ring encircle the labyrinth for those who wish to relax and watch the candlelight. Thanks to support from the
Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Town of Carleton Place and individuals and businesses within our community, this permanent labyrinth exists for people to use at any time. Volunteers from the labyrinth committee are also available onsite each Tuesday from 9 to 10 a.m. until the end of October to answer any questions you may have. For more information, or if you would like to help to set up the luminaries prior to the walk, please contact Debby at 613257-1014.

Middleville Fair welcomes visitors for one-day agricultural adventure By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
Community – If you’re looking for something to do this Saturday, check out the Middleville Fair. One of the longest-running agricultural fairs in Lanark County, the event opens the gates at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14 and welcomes hundreds of visitors through to about 8 p.m. “We have some new and exciting things this year,” says Audrey Kostaszek, the secretary-treasurer, who has been with the fair board for five years now. Prior to this, she spent 18 years with the Almonte Fair, a three-day event. “This (Middleville Fair) is a lot of fun, and even though there are no rides, we do have a lot of children’s activities like games and crafts,” she says. “It’s a total agricultural experience.” This year’s pumpkin theme is encouraged to be adapted to entries in the home crafters exhibits. Children are also going to have fun with pumpkin races, adds Kostaszek. “We have a new event
this year called the veggie races and we encourage kids to put wheels on a pumpkin and race it down a ramp,” she explains. “It should be a lot of fun.” About 10 vendors will be on site so visitors can help support local farmers by purchasing produce and crafts. Demonstrations of rope making will be taking place, as will sheep shearing, blacksmithing, and a farrier demo. “We will have a gentleman on site doing horseshoe demonstrations, which is new this year. I think that’s much more interesting than watching a horse running in circles around a track,” she says with a laugh. The popular children’s scavenger hunt will take place again this year with
cash and prizes for the top three finishers. A kids’ teddy bear picnic is another popular attraction. A pet show will be on tap at 11 a.m. along with judging of cattle, pigs, chickens and sheep. The hall will be open to check out the exhibitors. Musical entertainment will be performed by Barry and Jude with special guest, Ray Adams. And what fair is complete without some good eats? The always-popular ham and bean luncheon will be on tap at 11 a.m. and a turkey dinner will begin at 4:30 p.m. “It’s a great little one-day fair,” says Kostaszek. “You can learn a lot, see a lot and see your friends.” For a detailed events’ listing, visit www.middlevillefair.ca.
Sept. 25 AGH event cancelled News – The Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor Foundation’s Sept. 25 donor recognition/ equipment viewing event has been cancelled. For

Jim McCready named True Professional by International Society of Arboriculture By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) has selected five individuals as the 2013 class of True Professionals of Arboriculture. The diverse group includes Carleton Place’s Jim McCready. “Jim is such an excellent choice for this international award,” said mayor Wendy LeBlanc, “and this adds to other honours bestowed upon him for his work in urban forestry.” During the 2011 Tri-Valley Conservation Awards, he took first place in the individuals/family category. The ISA’s True Professional recognition program, established in 2009, honours arborists and tree care professionals for their positive impact on the industry in and around their communities and the world. Furthermore, it increases the public’s understanding of arboriculture and the professional skills of today’s arborists. McCready is a program forester with Tree Canada and owner of McCready Tree & Forestry Consulting in Carleton Place. He is a registered professional forester and certified arborist. Moreover, he is president of the Eastern Ontario Model Forest and chairs
Jim McCready the Carleton Place Urban Forest/ River Corridor Advisory Committee. On Aug. 5, ISA president Terrence Flanagan honoured McCready during the society’s annual conference and trade show in Toronto. He said McCready promotes ISA’s best practices for urban trees and urban forestry across the landscape. “He encourages the growth of healthy trees across eastern Ontario, fosters tree planting projects with Tree Canada, and drives the development of the Regional Forest Health Network,” added Flanagan. “This recognition from an international organization has taken awhile to sink in,” said McCready in a statement to the media. “ISA stands for the promotion of good arboriculture practices for urban trees and urban forestry. I try to carry out the ISA message by
working with groups and individuals who have a love of trees, but lack the knowledge to care for them.” McCready is a graduate of the University of Toronto. He became interested in urban forestry by way of the person who defined the term, Dr. Eric Jorgenson. “Jim has been the chair of the Carleton Place Urban Forest/ River Corridor Committee since its inception in 1998, following the devastating ice storm,” said LeBlanc. “Jim’s thoroughness in evaluating ice-damaged trees resulted in the tree canopy in Carleton Place suffering less damage from chainsaws than neighbouring communities.” McCready has worked with all levels of government to seek funding, partnered with elementary and secondary schools, and trained municipal staff to care for the tree canopy. “I strongly believe that there are very few, if any, communities of the size of Carleton Place that can boast of the quality and quantity of the programs that Jim McCready, as chair of the Carleton Place Urban Forest/River Corridor Committee, has brought to our town,” said LeBlanc. ISA, headquartered in Illinois, is a non-profit organization supporting tree care research and education around the world.

SPORTS Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the lawn bowling season at Almonte Lawn Bowling Club (ALBC) drawing to a conclusion, skill levels have improved to the point where all bowlers can participate in an inhouse tournament. This all-day annual event was held on Monday, Aug. 19, at the local greens and ten teams registered to compete for the Thompson-McNeely trophy. Many new bowlers participated and expressed delight with their improved playing ability. The Thompson-McNeely trophy was established in 1994 in honour of Roy and Vera Thompson, longtime avid bowlers with Almonte Lawn Bowling Club. It was constructed by the Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son-in-law, Allan McNeely. The first winners were Roy Thompson, skip and the late Des Delaney. Due to the high heat level of the day, only two, ten end games were played. Competition was stiff with the winners, the husband and wife team of John and Helen Howe, narrowly winning the day. Final scores were equal so the winner had to be determined by lowest points scored against them. The Howes were presented with the ThompsonMcNeely trophy, plus small keeper trophies and cash prizes. The runner-up team of Al Jones and Leo Brown, received a cash award. The high single game was won by the team of Ken Brown and Irene Arrowsmith (assisted by Jim Reid in the second game). All players received prizes from the gift table. The tournament was organized by Denis Davignon. The final big tournament of the season for ALBC is being held on Sept. 7. This event is a District 16 contest for novice bowlers only. A novice bowler will have less than four years experience with the sport. ALBC will have several contestants in this event. Beginning now, until the end of the season next month, lawn bowling at ALBC is free. All mem-

THANK YOU to The Fall 400 for an Amazing Dragon Boat Festival! H
Championships Race with a time of 1:47.05. Well done everyone!
eld this past Saturday, September 7, Riverside Park was filled with spectators from across Eastern Ontario who were cheering-on the more than 1100 paddlers and drummers racing down the Mississippi with to the finish line! It was a wonderful day led by a new committee of volunteers who hosted an impressive and very well-run event. From the organization of officials and the 46 registered teams, to the T-shirts and thoughtful lunches provided for volunteers, the Foundation could not speak more highly of what an honour it was to be both a part of, and the charity of choice for, this event! The CPDMHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dragon Boat team, MONSTERS OF MEDICINE, race down the Mississippi River during the 2013 Dragon Boat Festival.
Below: The CPDMHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dragon Boat team, MONSTERS OF MEDICINE.
During the event the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation raised funds selling water and apparel to spectators and paddlers alike: thank you to Shoppers Drug Mart and Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Independent for the donations of water; CP signs for the beautiful booth; Safety House for the amazing apparel and water bottles; and to the Hospital staff, Auxiliary and Foundation friends for your help and hard work. Competing in the races were the MONSTERS OF MEDICINE, the CPDMH team which came in a VERY close 2nd in the Community
The Dragon Boat Festival is run by an independent group of volunteers with the mission to host the best (fun & well-run) small, one-day dragon-boat event in Eastern Ontario.

This was the first year for The Fall 400 Festival committee to host the Dragon Boat Festival. The past Carleton Place Dragon Boat Festival committee had left a lasting 12 year legacy of well-run events. Following closely in their footsteps, the new committee has proven that they have what it takes to continue the legacy! A huge THANK YOU is extended to all Fall 400 committee members, their hard working spouses, friends and community volunteers. Our gratitude goes out to all the participants, community groups and sponsors who helped make this event a great success. Special thanks is also extended to the Carleton Place Civitan Club who ran the 50/50 during the day and who donated the proceeds of the raffle to the Hospital.
At Right, the CPDMH Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s H2O Bar was a great hit selling Water Infuser Bottles featuring the logo of the Fall400.

Wick Witch Candle Co. crafts up fragrant creations in Merrickville Business – Rather than the eye of newt and bat whiskers found in a traditional witches’ brew, a new sorceress in Merrickville is cooking up a different combination using fragrant oils and soy wax. Lianne Kulp-Aultman is the face behind Wick Witch Candle Co., which recently opened a new location in the heart of Merrickville within the historic Aaron Merrick building at 108 St. Lawrence Street. The block also houses the Yellow Canoe Café, Mirick’s Landing Country Store and Unraveled. Previously situated in Perth from May until August of this year, she made the move to the small village on Aug. 26. Wick Witch Candle Co. specializes in producing small batches of hand-poured 100 per cent all natural soy wax candles whose fragrant concoctions are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional candles, right down to the stylish reusable containers. A creative soul who enjoys refinishing antique furniture and thrift shopping, this business seems like anything but a job to Kulp-Aultman. “It’s arts and crafts every day for work and that’s not work at all,” she commented. No stranger to Merrickville, having called it home a few years back, Kulp-Aultman jumped at the chance to return. “This space became available and I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a lot more exposure and traffic,” she said during a recent interview. “The locals in Perth were so supportive but I was missing out on tourist traffic from the main streets. It was too secluded a location.” And she has been welcomed back with open arms. “The reception has been good so far. Word is getting out and it’s still pretty new, but all of the

One of the newest businesses to open in Merrickville is Wick Witch Candle Co., which specializes in 100 per cent, all natural soy candles. Owned by Lianne Kulp-Aultman, the store is nestled within the historic Aaron Merrick building in the village. Above, Kulp-Aultman displays her eco-chic teacup candles. Above right, the interior of the shop transports customers into a vintage setting. businesses in the building have been really supportive as well,” KulpAultman remarked. Stepping into Wick Witch’s intimate boutique, customers are immediately transported into a vintage
setting, complete with whimsical lighting antique fixtures which proudly display the lovingly crafted candles, available in 14-ounce apothecary style, eight-ounce rustic mason, six-pack tealights and
flameless wax melters, as well as individual votives. One also can’t miss the wall of antique teacups in store, one of the most unique aspects to Wick Witch. Due to the low burning point of soy wax, the fine bone china of the treasured teacups makes the perfect vessel for an elegant candle. KulpAultman offers pre-made up-cycled teacup candles or clients can bring in their own (or a treasured jar) and have it paired with their favourite smell. “I like doing (custom candles) in a customer’s favourite teacup, jar or container because it personalizes it. I think that people also enjoy being able to interact with the crafter making the product,” KulpAultman stated. “It’s not from some big warehouse, you can see it being made onsite and it’s positive for the environment.” Those teacups also take on another life as a garden candle on a copper tube, which can also be purchased in store. Kulp-Aultman uses a natural citronella scent to keep bugs at bay and once it has finished
burning, the cup can be wiped clean with soapy water and transforms into a bird feeder. Kulp-Aultman said she has perfected an abundance of 21 scents and there’s something for everyone. There’s no question that the bestselling fragrance is Wick Witch’s signature Bad Witch, a sensual and spellbinding aroma featuring patchouli, sandalwood, musk, amber and sage, mixed with the fruity clementine and mango. “I have to pour Bad Witch almost every day to keep up with demand,” she said. Its sister scent is the lighter Good Witch, a romantic infusion of citrus tones, violet flower and sweet grass. Other popular fragrances include Ginger Lime, Clementine & Green Tea, Woodland Willow, Maple Sugar, Orange Pekoe, Warm Vanilla Sugar and Minty Green. She recently unveiled her fall 2013 scents: Chutney Spice, featuring pumpkin, apple and clove; Ginger Nutmeg, reminiscent of a See WICK WITCH page 38

OPP seeing steady drop in Labour Day weekend traffic deaths
ginger molasses cookie; as well as warm and inviting Cinnamon Cider. Kulp-Aultman said she is also currently preparing her Christmas line which will feature mistletoe and peppermint smells. Long road In six years, the Toledo native has come a long way from making candles just a few short blocks away on Lewis Street to opening her own business. “I was selling candles off my front porch on the weekends when I lived here in Merrickville,” Kulp-Aultman commented. “I’ve had people come up to me and say that they’d been searching for me and can’t believe that I’m back in Merrickville.” Her passion for soy candles developed while working as a flight attendant with Zoom Airlines. “When I was flying around with Zoom, I fell in love with a brand on the west coast and when I came back to Ontario, I couldn’t find it or anything like it,” she recalled. So she did the next best thing and decided to make her own. “I started by ordering five pounds of (soy) wax at a time, experimenting and trying to make my own, now I’m up to ordering 500!” She decided to turn it into a business when, after six years with the company, Zoom went

While taking small business courses, perfecting her scents, candle blends and packaging, Kulp-Aultman was a regular on the local craft show circuit. “You make a lot of bad candles before you make a lot of good ones,” she joked. She has a passion for the candle making process and providing a product that is also environmentally responsible was important to her. There are many benefits to choosing soy candles, she pointed out. “I really like that soy is clean burning, lasts twice as long and is from a sustainable, renew-
able resource,” Kulp-Aultman explained. “The oils, wicks, everything is all natural and the candles are dye-free. There are no scary ingredients that you can’t pronounce.” “There’s the education aspect too. People still aren’t sold on soy because they don’t know the benefits of soy over traditional paraffin wax,” she added. “I’m trying to change that.” Wick Witch Candle Co. is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.wickwitch.com or look for their page on Facebook.
News – With a busy 2013 Labour Day Long weekend behind them, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) reported three fatalities in OPP jurisdiction over the weekend, but they are relieved to see a steady decline in the number of Labour Day weekend traffic deaths. As part of their ongoing efforts to save lives, the OPP stepped up enforcement on highways, waterways and trails over the weekend and particular attention was being cast on motorists who were caught driving distracted. Sadly, a 16-year-old male died after being struck by a motor vehicle while he was skateboarding. A 41-yearold woman died in a motor vehicle collision after being ejected from the vehicle and another man (age unconfirmed) died when he lost control of his off-road ve-
hicle (ORV). “Despite the tragic loss of three lives this past weekend, when we look at the last five years, I am encouraged to see a 23 per cent decline in Labour Day weekend fatal road crashes in OPP jurisdiction and a 100 per cent drop in marine fatalities on OPP policed waterways,” said Chief Superintendent Don, Bell, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division. “In contrast, Labour Day weekend ORV fatalities are up 25 per cent over the same five-year period and I encourage the ORV community to work with the OPP to reduce these numbers,” added Bell. “It was disappointing to see distracted drivers continue to pose a risk to road users this past weekend, with our officers laying 397 distracted driving charges compared to
107 impaired driving charges,” said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support. According to Beechey, aggressive driving continues to be a significant problem on long weekends and the Labour Day weekend was no exception with 6,078 speeding charges and 64 street racing charges being laid (for driving 50 km/h or more over the posted speed limit). Various other charges were laid, including 535 seat belt charges and a total of 87 Warn Range suspensions were issued to drivers with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in the 0.05 to 0.08 range (or 50 to 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood). Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

St. John Ambulance announces ‘Caring for Our Community’ capital campaign The ‘Caring for Our Community’ campaign will have an official launch on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2014 with a celebratory breakfast at CJ’s Banquet Hall in Brockville. In the next five months, preparation and planning for this campaign launch will take place. The chair of the ‘Caring for Our Community’ campaign is Richard M. Dumbrille of Maitland. He is joined on the campaign team by Sandra Lawn (Prescott); Craig McQuitty (retired Colonel – Canadian Forces, Ottawa, ON); Jim Fairfield (Brockville); Doug Labron (Brockville); and Margaret Wicklum (Brockville); with Jodi Wallace (St. John office administrator) and David Dargie (campaign coordinator) as support staff. “We have a strong campaign team that will be supplemented by the members of our brigade and our many friends and supporters throughout Leeds-Grenville and Lanark counties,” said Dargie. “We will be announcing our honourary R0012224644_0725
News – Jeff Shaver, (retired Lieutenant Colonel – Canadian Forces and former Commanding Officer of the Brockville Rifles), who is chair of the board of directors for the St. John Ambulance Branch of Leeds-Grenville & Lanark announced Sept. 6 that preliminary work has begun on a $350,000 capital campaign that will run from February 2014 to September 2014. The ‘Caring for Our Community’ capital campaign has a goal of raising $350,000 to be used for dissolving the current mortgage on St. John House and building an enclosure on the Abbott Street property to protect the brigade’s service vehicles from inclement weather. “By eliminating the debt on our home base – St. John House in Brockville, we will free up resources that can then be used for our operating costs,” Shaver stated. “Similarly, our building project will help our service vehicles be better prepared for deployment during the winter months and help to ensure a longer life for the vehicles.” Since 1959 the St. John Ambulance Brigade has been caring for the LeedsGrenville & Lanark communities. St. John Ambulance is a volunteer organization that receives no direct government funding. The local brigade has been honoured provincially two years in a row for their volunteer efforts, leading all Ontario St. John Ambulance branches in the number of volunteer hours per person. The local brigade provides: First Aid, CPR & AED training; medical first response services; therapy dog services; youth services; and car seat safety services. Shaver had previously announced that David Dargie has been appointed as campaign coordinator for the ‘Caring for Our Community’ capital campaign. “David Dargie has a deep history of fundraising in the local area, as well assuming leadership roles in large events such as the Ontario Senior Games, the Canada 55+ Games and The Great Waterway Classic,” Shaver observed. “His extensive network of people and organizations, plus his work in the local media as host of several cable television programs, will help raise our profile in the local communities.”

At the Valentine’s Day launch, we will reveal plans for a large scale event that will give many people a chance to enjoy themselves and in turn help support our capital campaign. Many opportunities to get in involved in our campaign will be offered to our local communities. Watch for more announcements later this fall!” Submitted by the St. John Ambulance Branch of Leeds-Grenville & Lanark.

Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Love offers challenges to actors and laughter to audience edy couching a thought-provoking message about the human condition. As Tennant puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I like most about this play is how genuinely it reflects some relationships. I hope people laugh at the humour, but also walk away with a different perspective as to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationships.â&#x20AC;? As for Grey Masson who plays Bud, he has his own reasons for liking this play. He says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very funny, very touching â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I get to kiss a girl.â&#x20AC;?

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done any acting, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know it is as demanding art. On top of memorizing pages of lines, the actor must put his own personality aside and try and inhabit the skin of another person for several hours. Not an easy undertaking. So imagine what it is like for the actors in the Perth Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening production of Old Love who must be two or more characters during the course of one play. On the surface, this story by Norm Foster seems straightforward enough. Bud meets Molly, the bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, falls in love with her, but for 25 years is forced to worship from afar. He marries, but is eventually divorced. Then Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband dies and the door is open for Bud to renew his romantic pursuit. Seems like an uncomplicated plot. But hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking Norm Foster here, the playwright whose quirky sense of humour has made him a favourite of theatre companies and audiences across Canada and the US. The story is told through a series of flashbacks, meaning we see Bud and Molly at various ages along with a parade of characters from their past: Arthur, Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now dead husband; Kitty, his ex-wife; Arthur Jr., his son; Kendra, Arthur Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife; a sarcastic secretary, and three girlfriends from Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post marital past. So where does Foster start Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renewed pursuit of Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affection? Why Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral, of course. Foster allows the cast to be made up of two, four or seven actors. Veteran director David Parry has opted to use four actors. Grey Masson plays Bud Mitchell, who used to work for Arthur until Arthur sold the company. Bud stayed on and is now the boss of the company. Jennifer Pfizer plays Molly Graham, Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, now pursued by Bud. Lucas Tennant plays Arthur, Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philandering husband, and also, Arthur Jr., Arthur and Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, a shy fellow, married to Kendra. While Juli Heney doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play one of the main characters, she makes up for it in quantity and variety of minor characters. She plays not only Kitty, Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambitious, social-climbing wife, but Kendra, Arthur Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domineering wife; Shirley, Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary; and Claire, Delores and Sandra, Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriends. A challenge? Definitely. Says Jenny Pfitzer who plays Molly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depicting

The Studio Theatre in Perth is getting set for its opening production of the season, Norm Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Love, which will run from Sept. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. with matinees on Sept. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Above, Lucas Tennant and Juli Heney rehearse a scene. the passage of time clearly and credibly is as interesting as it is challenging. Over a span of over 30 years, we will see Molly and her relationships evolve as the various vignettes are played out. She will run through a virtual rainbow of emotions and attitudes. She will be happy, sad, sarcastic, wistful, scared, brash, sardonic, angry, caustic and gentle... to name but a few.â&#x20AC;? The others agree. Lucas Tennant (Arthur and Arthur Jr.) finds the change in personality of his characters particularly challenging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One is
a self obsessed business tycoon who believes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suave but really itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his money that makes him desirable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the second character is so much a push over he has to ask others what it is he should be feeling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible fun to explore the depths each one will sink to as they interact with others. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually looking forward to being hated as the first character,â&#x20AC;? Tennant added. Like most Foster plays Old Love is a delightful mixture of hilarious com-

Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam to visit Hawkesbury Harley dealership Sept. 14 By THERESA FRITZ theresa.fritz@metroland.com
Community – It will be 50 shades of anarchy in Hawkesbury Sept. 1415. That’s when Charlie Hunnam, star of the FX television show Sons of Anarchy and newly named to play Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of E.L. James 50 Shades of Grey, visits Goulet Motorsports HarleyDavidson in the eastern Ontario community. Hunnam’s first time visit to the community follows sold-out visits from former Sons cast member Ryan Hurst (Opie) in March and current cast member Tommy Flannagan (Chibs) in June. Hunnam, 33, will be at Goulet Motorsports Sept. 14 from 5-10 p.m. for a meet and greet, autograph signing and dinner under a big tent outdoors. The cast visits to Hawkesbury are a partnership between Goulet Motorsports and Full Throttle Events. Full Throttle is a promotions company based in Lachute, Que. organizing exclusive meet and greet events with stars of the show. “It was an idea that I had when I first met the cast (of Sons of Anarchy) in Texas…they were excited about it,” explained John Younkie of Full Throttle Events. “And then we expanded it nationally. We travel all over Canada.” Younkie, who buys his motorcycles from Goulet Motorports, said the partnership with his home dealership was a natural thing. From there, the

Sons of Anarchy start Charlie Hunnam will be meeting fans at Goulet Motorsports in Hawkesbury Sept. 14 then he and two other castmates will be leading a fall motorcycle ride Sept. 15. VIP meet and greets expanded to other Harley dealerships across Canada. And the events attract patrons willing to pay anywhere from $125 to $250 for the chance to rub shoulders with their favourite television outlaws. “We have nothing but great reaction to these events,” Younkie said.
The events draw not only local residents, but also fans from Ottawa, Montreal and beyond. “They are a huge draw. This time, we have people coming from New York, we have a couple coming from Alaska, a couple from Boston…it is quite something,” Younkie com-

Sunday’s triple bill And while the Sept. 14 event is sold out, fans of the show need not despair. As a special add on, Hunnam’s castmates Flannagan and Mark Boone (Bobby) will join him Sept. 15 for a fall motorocycle ride. The ride cost $25 and will include a breakfast. Kickstands will go up at 11 a.m. for the scenic ride with the three actors riding as grand marshals for the event. After the ride, participants as well as the public are welcome back to Goulet Motorsports for lunch. The event will be licensed and music will be provided by Texarillo. Around 1 p.m. Hunnam and company will be available for photo sessions on a first come, first served basis. Younkie said this will mark the first time the three Sons stars are in Canada at the same time. The sixth season of Sons of Anarchy begins Sept. 10 with Hunnam reprising his role of Jax Teller, president of the outlaw motorcycle club’s Redwood Original Chapter. Boone is the vice-president of the club and Flannagan is the sergeant-at-arms. “We expected around 125 or 150 to take part in the ride. We have 580 people taking part,” he said. “All three (actors) will be onstage. Imagine the president, VP and secretary of SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original) will be together. They will be there until 4 p.m. and then we have to get them back to the airport.” Goulet Motorsports is located at 189 John St. in Hawkesbury.

This marks her second year in the community with her tailored program. The first year was a big success and we hope to have even more success this year with Beth and her program that teaches respect for animals and the importance of responsible pet ownership.

Rebuilt 1949 Hudson street rod on the road again! Lifestyle – Our phone rang. It was Eugene Barna calling to let me know that his son Peter was on his way from his home in Atikokan, Ontario, to Leamington, where he grew up, and he was driving his newly completed 1949 Hudson street rod – and would I like to see it when he rolls into town? “Yes! Yes! Yes!” was my reply. I had met Peter about three years ago when he rolled into town behind the wheel of his yellow street-rodded 1934 International pickup truck. At that time, he mentioned that he was working on a 1949 Hudson, and I said I hope to see it down here someday. That day arrived near the end of June 2013 when I drove over to his parents’ home here in town. The Hudson was parked in the driveway and facing the street. What a beauty! The gleaming Ruby Mica Pearl (’08 Sub-
aru colour), dazzling chrome, and big wide whitewall radial tires made the car look like a picture right out of a glossy magazine. I was treated to a drive around town as Peter told me the story behind the car. Another resident in Atikokan had purchased the car some time ago in Pinawa, Manitoba, a small town northeast of Winnipeg. It had been off the road for several years and was complete but needed a total rebuild. It was the Super Six model and still had its original flathead six engine. Peter purchased it and the fun began. He disassembled the

The body work proceeded and included new inner fenders custom-made with a ’76 Nova front clip. The engine compartment now is a dream to look at. The engine is a 454 big block Chevy with 4-bbl Edelbrock carb and intake. A serpentine belt from Billet connects the alternator, A/C compressor, water pump, and power steering pump to give the engine a superclean design. The master brake cylinder is under the dash to further enhance the clean design of the engine compartment. The trans-
mission is a 700R automatic with a 9-inch Ford rear end from a ’76 Bronco. Peter had to search far and wide for a rear end with the proper width to clear the rear tires and found one near Oshawa. The only piece still missing is the stainless trim for the rear window. With Peter’s perseverance, we know he’ll find it! I’m always looking for more stories.

From engine noises to tinting – car counsellor covers variety of topics “Hello Brian, Just an update on something I sent earlier. This past weekend I saw a car, in Orleans, with the driver’s/front passenger’s window so dark that the driver had to put his windows down about 6” so he could make a U-turn. At least he knew he had restricted vision and didn’t just ‘go for it’ like some drivers.” Lorne Facey I don’t know why this is still a grey area in Ontario. In BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, applying aftermarket tinting to either of the front door windows is illegal. In Manitoba, the law spells out the amount of light that tinting must allow in or out in terms of percentages. These regulations allow less tinting on the front door windows than rear glass. The reasons from these jurisdictions for limiting tint range from reducing vehicle collisions, lowering risks to pedestrians, to improved police officer safety. Tinting is still a very popular option for new and used vehicles alike as drivers appreciate the improvement in air-conditioning performance, reduced glare inside the vehicle, and increased privacy. The Ministry of Transportation regulations leave enforcement pretty much up to the attending officer’s judgement. So there’s really no such thing as ‘Police Approved’ tinting. Until there’s a collective cry for more regulation or an increase in collisions caused by dark tinting, I’m not holding my breath to see things changed here. But if

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, My 2006 Chevrolet Impala has valve lifters that are making noise. Should I add (an engine oil) supplement or not. It has over 500,000 km on the odometer.” HB If the lifter noise goes away after start up, the hydraulic lifters may be ‘leaking down’ and losing their ability to react to valve-train movement. If the noise is there even after warm up, one or more lifters may be collapsed altogether. Either way, an additive that would thicken the engine oil enough to resolve this, may to more harm than good by blocking small oil passages. At 500,000 km there may be other valve-train components that are causing the noise. There are a variety of additives on parts stores’ shelves that can help a tired engine without increasing the risk of creating a sludge problem. But be aware, there’s no such thing as a mechanic in a can. Excessive valvetrain or upper engine noise usually means something has worn past the point of maximum tolerance and replacing a part(s) is usually the only way to rectify the situation. As this type of job can easily approach or exceed $1,000 it would be wise to consider the vehicle’s overall value before proceeding. Oil additives are relatively cheap and easy to try and if they don’t work out, then an oil change is all it takes to get rid of them. You might want to consider trying one of the high mileage engine oils at your next oil change.

world could you live with enormous protected wetlands on the edge of town, great blue herons on the side of the river, hackberry trees lining the waterfalls, and large tracts of deciduous forest just outside the town? Sounds great. But just what is living in those wetlands and forests? There is much more than just deer and bears. The theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public talks is about exactly this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; connecting with and appreciating our natural surroundings and understanding how they are linked to big picture nature conservation. So how did Caroline fall in love with nature and come to connect with Ontario Nature? Discover this, know about nature in your backyard, care about the boreal forest, and forge connections to nature in distant places you may never visit by attending Caroline Schultzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From Our Backyards to the Boreal Forest and Beyondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 19 at the Almonte United Church (106 Elgin Street). All are welcome ($5 fee for non-members). For further information, please contact MVFNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program chair Cathy Keddy at 613257-3089.

polar bears flying south. But certainly most of the birds are on their way. Geese, grebes, loons, herons, cranes, grosbeaks and blackbirds will be passing through soon. Thus our backyards matter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether they are measured in square feet or square kilometers. Nature-friendly gardening and land stewardship can provide resting areas for migrating birds and can help pollinators such as native bees and butterflies. We can plant trees, protect our forests, leave the shoreline at the cottage natural, or plant native shrubs to replace lakeside lawns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is something each of us can do to make Lanark County better for wildlife. The cumulative effects of such simple actions are very powerful when thousands of people do them. This will help to ensure that Lanark County not only keeps its natural beauty, but increases it in the future. Working to ensure that municipalities have robust natural heritage systems in their Official Plans and opening the doors to the wonders of nature, especially to our youth, are also vital for ensuring that we protect the biodiversity that sustains us. But, our backyards are connected beyond the boreal! Everything we do here in Ontario has an impact beyond our borders. This ranges from the importance of sustaining vital migratory or breeding habitat for birds to minimizing our carbon footprint to sustaining our freshwater systems that are part of the global hydrological cycle. Everything is connected. Imagine, we have responsibilities as global environmental stewards and we should be proud of this. But Ontario has the fourth highest ecological footprint compared with 60 countries around the world. Canada has the eight highest. We need to earn the right to be proud as proactive environmental leaders. Lanark County is a beautiful place to spend the year, but life is always more enjoyable when you know enough about your surroundings to appreciate them. Where else in the

The bears are fattening up on a bumper crop of acorns. Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autumn. And one of the regular events of autumn is the start of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (MVFN) new lecture series, this year entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Knowing and Caring Connect Us With Nature.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; MVFN is very fortunate to have an outstanding speaker to start the season. In her presentation, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From Our Backyards to the Boreal and Beyondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Caroline Shultz, executive director of Ontario Nature and conservation biologist, will speak about the enormous boreal forest (half of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land area) which is just to our north, how it is connected to our backyards, and how our backyards are connected to nature beyond the boreal. The boreal forest is the land of conifer forest, home of the woodland caribou, and a vast nursery for songbirds and waterfowl. Many of these visit Lanark County each spring, on their way north, and each autumn, on their way back south. Songbirds that breed on the very edge of the tree line near Hudson Bay may very well rest in a tree in your own backyard on their way back to the rain forest for the winter. As well, the boreal forest has vast wetlands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Hudson Bay lowlands region is one of the ten largest wetlands in the world. Its extensive peatlands store massive amounts of carbon keeping it out of our atmosphere where it could do great damage to our climate. Its vast freshwater ecosystems play a major role in global hydrological cycles. Boreal forest conservation further ensures an abundance of wild forest and freshwater foods and sustainable livelihoods for northern residents. Many of wild the boreal inhabitants are about to move south in the coming month. Not the polar bears or caribou of course. At least, no one in the field naturalists has yet seen flocks of

Fibrefest fun Community – The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum and Almonte Community Centre were still full of Fibrefest patrons taking in the different arts Sept. 7, despite the chilly weather. Above left, visitors admire the tapestries, which were mostly woven with alpaca fibres, while other art lovers wander around the museum. Above right, Alex Johnson, owner of Crisp, and handmade accessory company, says it takes her four to six hours to create one of her thick, hand-crocheted shawls. Below left, Jen Muise, a hot glass sculptor, stands with her beautiful, hand-crafted glass beads and buttons, which can take her up to two hours to create. Below right, colourful yarns like these could be found all over the arena at Fibrefest.
