RELAY FOR LIFE

akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – There is strength in numbers and nowhere is that more evident than with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser.

Locally, the rebirth of the Smiths Falls Relay for Life kicks off this Friday evening, June 7 at 7 p.m. at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI). In nearby Almonte, the Mississippi Mills Relay for Life in Gemmill Park will also unfold that night, with both events concluding at 7 a.m. Saturday morning, June 8.

Over the course of those 12 hours, teams will come together to walk and run the track, honouring those who have lost their lives to cancer and celebrating the ones who have beat it.

This is the signature annual event for the Canadian Cancer Society and funds raised will benefit the local Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit, based in Perth.

This year’s edition of the Re-

lay is particularly poignant as 2013 marks the 75th anniversary of the society.

“We want everyone in the community to come and visit us (in Smiths Falls and Mississippi Mills)” noted Amanda Gifford, fundraiser coordinator of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.

“See what Relay for Life is all about and hopefully next year they’ll be so moved by the event they’ll want to put in a team.”

Gifford indicated that the opening ceremonies for both Relay for Life events begin at 7 p.m., followed by the Survivor Walk and the parade of teams.

Once the sun goes down, the track will be illuminated in light during the emotional luminary ceremony, set to take place at 10 p.m.

Gifford said monies brought in from the Relay for Life will go towards cancer research, as well as local support services, including transportation and peer support programs.

Smiths Falls Locally, the Relay for Life is being revived in a big way this year. Having previously been held at the Lombardy Fairgrounds for the past 14 years, organizers have moved it to the SFDCI track in an effort to engage the community more.

The theme ‘Groovin’ For a Cure’ was announced during the Relay launch back on March 7 at Chuckles Jack in Smiths Falls.

Participants are encouraged to travel back in time to the 1960s and dig out those bell bottoms.

“It’s a cozier setting based on participant feedback,” noted Canadian Cancer Society volunteer engagement coordinator Laurie Blackstock of the venue switch, back on March 7. “This site will provide us with a sense of community. It’s smaller and will bring people together more.”

Forty-one teams walked and ran in last year’s Relay, which included 451 participants, 97 survivors and the lighting of 532 luminaries. According to Gif-

ford, similar numbers are on par for this Friday’s event.

“We have 22 teams on board and quite a few are very large.

Participant numbers are more than we expected, so we’re happy,” she remarked.

A total of $149,000 was raised at the Lombardy event last year, short of their $223,000 goal. Because this is the inaugural year for Smiths Falls, Gifford said no goal has been set.

“We’re not sure what to expect this year,” she said. “...We’ll raise what we can and go on from there for next year.”

Pakenham will come out to support the effort.

“We had a woman, Allison Vaughan, approach us and she loved the Relay for Life and participated in it in Ottawa. She wanted to bring it home to Almonte,” she explained. “...And that first year blew us right out of the water!”

With a goal of $38,000, the Mississippi Mills event nearly tripled that, bringing in $111,000.

This year’s target is to raise $144,000.

“We have 33 teams signed up for the Mississippi Mills event,” Gifford stated.

She stressed that there is still plenty of time to make a donation to either Relay for Life event or to purchase a luminary.

“People can donate or purchase a luminary online at www. relayforlife.ca or do it at the event,” Gifford said.

Mississippi Mills Gemmill Park in Almonte will be transformed into an exotic destination as the second annual Relay for Life event there carries the theme ‘Tropically Relaying for Life.’

Gifford said the inaugural year for the fundraiser wildly exceeded the cancer society’s expectaFor more information about tions. She hopes residents from Relay for Life, visit www.relayAlmonte, Carleton Place and forlife.ca.

Former Central Frontenac mayor to fight for rural families as Liberal candidate for LFLA EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Central Frontenac mayor Bill MacDonald has been nominated as the official candidate for the Ontario Liberal Party in the next provincial election, pledging better representation for the rural and small-town families of Lanark-FrontenacLennox & Addington.

MacDonald was officially nominated June 1 during a Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington Provincial Liberal Association nomination meeting at St. James Major Catholic Church hall in Sharbot Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am honoured to represent the Ontario Liberal Party and support Premier Kathleen Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of a fiscallyresponsible, fair society,â&#x20AC;?

MacDonald said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to being the voice for real, positive change that will help people in their everyday lives here in Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because our families deserve better representation.â&#x20AC;?

An owner of a logging and forest management company in Sharbot Lake, MacDonald has a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing families and small businesses. In his 18year experience in municipal government he has served for nine years as mayor of Central Frontenac and two years as warden of Frontenac County. He has volunteered with Frontenac Lodge, Sharbot Lake United Church, and the Sharbot Lake and

District Lions Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 2007 our riding has been stuck in the gridlock of fruitless opposition politics,â&#x20AC;?

MacDonald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its current PC MPP is focused on opposition stunts, ignores our most pressing issues, and even votes against budgets before reading them. During my 18 years as a local councillor, mayor, and county warden in Frontenac, I have always put the needs of our community first. As your MPP I will be your strong voice in government at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and work for what is in the best interests of all communities across this very large riding.

MacDonald especially looks forward to championing the commitments made in Premier

Kathleen Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 budget and working for several important local projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 15 per cent reduction in auto insurance will be a huge help to families here in Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to investments in rural and small-town infrastructure, improved home care for seniors, and better jobs for our youth, the priorities of her budget will help people in their everyday lives. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right vision for rural and

small-town families, the right vision for Lanark-FrontenacLennox & Addington, and the right vision for Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

UCLG awards $2.75 million contract for County Road 44 overpass EMC News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council, joint services committee, and United Counties’ governance and finance committee meetings are listed below.

Counties council has awarded the County Road 44 and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) overpass replacement project in North Grenville to Dalcon Enterprises. Dalcon submitted the lowest of four tenders at a cost of $2.75 million.

CPR is to cover 85 per cent of the overall costs to a maximum of $2,025,885, leaving the Counties share at approximately $700,000 to $800,000 and including the Leeds Grenville share of the design and construction administration cost and contingency amounts.

The Counties budget has provided for a total of $1.3 million for the project.

Regional cultural plan under consideration The Leeds and Grenville joint services committee has asked Counties staff to prepare a report on the viability of a regional cultural plan.

The request comes after a presentation this week by Howard Alexander, a founding member of the newly-formed Brockville Arts Council. Alexander is proposing a regional plan involving all Leeds and Grenville municipalities as cultural activities are a tourism draw and are a creator of economic development.

A regional program will help market cultural, recreational, and sporting events, Mr. Alexander said. He noted more than half of the Brockville Arts Council members are from the area outside of the City of Brockville.

Maple View Lodge arbitration award The United Counties of Leeds and Gren-

ville and the Ontario Nurses Association received an arbitration award on May 15.

The Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) represents the Registered Nurses at Maple View Lodge, who certified on July 29, 2010.

Maple View Lodge, located in the Township of Athens, is a 60-bed facility owned by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

It employs three full-time, four part-time, and six casual staff members represented by ONA. After extensive bargaining for a first collective agreement, the outstanding issues between the parties went before an arbitration board as required by the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act. The term of the first collective agreement is from Aug. 17, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2012.

Counties council was advised that staff will be meeting with ONA representatives to ensure an efficient implementation of the new collective agreement. In addition, Council was advised to expect a significant impact on the budget for Maple View Lodge as a result of the arbitration award. A study of the full financial impact is continuing.

One of the requirements of a board of arbitration is to take into consideration the employer’s ability to pay, in light of its fiscal situation. The United Counties also requested the board take into consideration a long held view that a first contract award ought not to introduce a collective agreement that would be typical in a mature bargaining relationship that has taken numerous rounds of bargaining.

It does not appear to the United Counties that the arbitration board took either of these two key factors into account.

Counties human resources manager, Kristen Argue-Hobbs said the Counties values the care provided by the Registered Nurses. However, the arbitration award is disappointing to

Forget fast and furious, try slow and cautious at Slow Bike Race

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Slow Bike Race was held in the parking lot of the Lanark County administrative offices in Perth on Wednesday, May 22, to kick off bike month.

The winner was actually the politician who crossed the finished line last â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost seems counter intuitive to a bunch of people genetically pre-dispositioned to finish first-past-the-post, as it were.

Organizer Jeff Mills, while he had everyone lined up at the starting line, could not resist the opportunity to do some lobbying for his beloved pet project of expanding shoulders on county roads to accommodate bikes.

Who could blame him, seeing as he had a bevy of county politicians in front of him, a captive audience, if only for a minute, awaiting his word.

While Mississippi Mills mayor John

Levi literally went off the rails and ended up on the edge of the parking lot, the race was â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonâ&#x20AC;? by the slowest of the slow, Lanark Highlands Township Deputy mayor Brian Stewart.

UCDSB to host fifth annual Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk June 16 in Kemptville have the choice.â&#x20AC;?

Crawford said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also thrilled that the event has once again partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville which will be hosting Ribfest at the same location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both events have one common goal in mind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to support children in our communities,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the walk/run, participants are invited to visit Ribfest next door and enjoy the kids zone, face painting, bounce house, petting zoo, pony rides, skee ball, basketball, arcade games, balloons, and of course, ribs!â&#x20AC;?

Prizes will be awarded to the participant who raises the most money in pledges, has the best costume (for centipede teams), shows the best spirit and is the youngest and most senior in age.

Registration begins at 9 a.m., with a 10 a.m. start for the one-kilometre event and a 10:15 a.m. start for the five-kilometre event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past four years, we have contributed over $10,000 to Champions for Kids. It is truly rewarding to know that the money raised goes right back into the hands of families who see the benefits immediately.â&#x20AC;?

The minimum pledge is $20 for families or individual runners, and $100 for centipede teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve run twice now,â&#x20AC;? says North Grenville District High School principal Steve Sharp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wonder-

ful experience; lots of fun with my family and colleagues for a great cause. Then we got to eat some ribs!â&#x20AC;?

Crawford would like to thank TD Canada Trust locations in Kemptville and the Brockville Shopping Centre for their ongoing support of this event. For the last three years, TD has sponsored student centipede teams from schools in their local area.

New this year, branch managers from Perth, Prescott and downtown Brockville have joined in to sponsor teams from Glen Tay Public School, South Grenville District High School, and Brockville Collegiate Institute.

Crawford would specifically like to thank TD representatives Kimberly Bologna of Kemptville, Joe Dorrington of the Brockville Shopping Centre, Michael Rath of Perth, Lisa Tyo-Chatterton of Prescott, and David Keenleyside of downtown Brockville for getting on board.

In addition, Crawford would like to thank accountant Anthony Fritz for sponsoring a Lyn Public School team, Team Solutions for sponsoring a team from Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Lawrence College for sponsoring two teams to participate, and Walmart for sponsoring a student team from Kemptville Public School for the third year in a row.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is gearing up to host its fifth annual Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strive for Five!â&#x20AC;? on Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day (Sunday, June 16) at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville.

This year, event organizers have a goal to raise $5,000 for the foundation which supports families of children who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to play sports or enjoy the arts outside of school hours, as well as families whose children require medical care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited to reach this goal, and we know we can do it,â&#x20AC;? says event chair Sarah Crawford.

As in previous years, participants are invited to participate in the onekilometre or five-kilometre walk/ run as individual participants or centipede teams. Centipede teams are groups of five to eight people who walk or run in costume and stay tied together in some unique way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are challenging schools, staff, school councils, community partners, daycare providers, and all interested parties to submit a centipede team of at least five members,â&#x20AC;? says Crawford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Centipede teams are a lot of fun for groups of families, friends, or coworkers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also understand that some of us would rather finish the event individually, and not tied to a team,â&#x20AC;? laughs Crawford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That option is still very popular too!

Healing through horses with Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program

By PAGE TAYLOR

EMC News – Have you ever wondered how a horse can help?

Since 1986, the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program (LCTRP) has been enriching the lives of both human and horse alike by providing specialized lessons for those with physical and/or developmental disabilities. The program, which celebrates its 27th anniversary this year, offers rehabilitation and recreation for children and adults from ages two to 70, with some of the older riders having been with the program for almost 20 years.

Cedar Rock Farm, near Perth, run by owner Pat Nolan, is one of the two farms in the region that offers lessons, the other being Willaway Farm near Carleton Place.

“Today, there are more one-on-one kids (pairings), so we have more volunteers. Ideally we need nine,” said Maria Hofbauer, the riding instructor for both farms, during a lull between the horses getting brushed and tacked up and the kids starting to arrive during a recent visit. Looking up at the bloated clouds looming over the outdoor riding arena, Hofbauer confessed that this Wednesday lesson may need to be put on hold.

“The horses have to be very quiet and people-tolerant,” she said. “But if it thunderstorms, even these horses get uneasy.”

Nickers from the four steeds nearby seem to punctuate her statement. The horses, two decked out in English saddles and two dressed in mere bareback pads, waited patiently beside volunteers for their riders. Their names are as pleasant and friendly as they are – Monkey, Cricket, Ebony and Calabar.

Out in the riding field, Jane Irwin, a volunteer with the LCTRP for close to

six years, set up a table with colorful plastic toys and foam swords. Framing the toy table, which stands in the center of the field like the hub of a wheel, are poles that protrude from the ground in a perfectly straight and evenly spaced line. Weave poles, as they are called, are used in a more relaxed version of the sport “pole-bending” where horses duck in and out around them at a walking pace.

Balancing on top of the poles are large, plastic rings.

“These are the rings that they pick up and we ask what color they are,” Irwin explained. “The volunteers will hold up the rings and they (the kids) have to get it with the sword.”

She demonstrated by spearing the foam sword through the ring. It may not be jousting, but the activity is a great way to practice balance and handeye coordination, “which the little boys just love,” Irwin chuckled.

However, the program doesn’t aim to put the cart before the horse when it comes to the physical benefits of the lessons. Improvement happens gradually, but when it does, it is a victory.

“We had a little boy who couldn’t sit up on his own, and was too impatient to listen to stories. With the program, his balance improved and his parents saw him at home sitting quietly and coloring and it’s pretty amazing,” Hofbauer expressed.

But the physical improvements are not the only positive of the program.

Another benefit that is gained through therapeutic riding is the self-assured air instilled in humans that goes hand in hand with being around horses. It is often said that horses can sense emotions, and that calm, purposeful movements are needed to reassure the horse. The riders build confidence with the free-

dom that horseback riding offers.

“We had another little boy who didn’t speak, but after a few months, he would walk around his house saying ‘Whoa Ebony, whoa Ebony,’ which is what the volunteers were repeating to the horse he was riding,” continued Hofbauer.

As the kids start to arrive, the horses were brought to the mounting block and volunteers helped the riders onto the horses. Bennet Kaslof, who has been with the program for two years, was all smiles as he was set atop the dark mare Ebony.

“It was a struggle at first, but now he gets excited when the time comes,” commented Bennet’s father, Larry Kazlof, as he watched the lesson with the other parents.

“It’s so rewarding,” attested Jane Irwin in whispered awe from behind the fence. “I’ve never seen Eila smile before.”

Eila VanWingerden, riding astride Cricket, has been in the program for five years, and has seen improvements in her trunk control and balance.

Despite the success and longevity of the LCTRP, Hofbauer noted that keeping it running can be difficult.

“We have to apply for grants every year, and we are always looking for volunteers and donations,” she said, going on to explain that Cedar Rock Farm plans to build a walk-in-shelter for the horses once the funds have been acquired. Saddles are also required, among other equestrian equipment.

Hydro One helps save butternut trees in eastern Ontario on the endangered species list.

In 2006, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) started the Butternut Recovery Stewardship Planting Program to find and collect seeds from healthy, native, pure butternut trees. The seeds are then planted and grown in hopes that some may be naturally resistant to the butternut canker disease. One-year-old butternut seedlings are distributed to participating landowners across eastern Ontario

to re-establish the population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to be able to contribute to the recovery of this important tree species,â&#x20AC;? said Terry Forrest, eastern Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest technician supervisor for Hydro One. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hydro One is committed to preserving and protecting this important species for future generations. By partnering with organizations such as the RVCA and local landowners we can work together to achieve significant environmental

projects throughout Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

Rose Fleguel, RVCA butternut recovery specialist hopes these seedlings will replace the dead and dying butternuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have planted over 14,000 butternut seedlings since 2006,â&#x20AC;? says Fleguel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope the seedlings will grow vigorously enough to reach seed bearing age and continue the existence of the butternut tree.â&#x20AC;?

It is unknown whether some butternut trees have any resistance to the

disease, although some researchers believe it likely exists in some individual trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an unknown as to whether these seedlings will be the key to saving this beautiful tree,â&#x20AC;? says Fleguel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be idle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we need to start the recovery process now.â&#x20AC;?

Participating landowners help by monitoring the trees, reporting back each fall to track the over-all survival of the seedlings each year.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Reader says earlier pesticide letter lacks “substantiated evidence” DEAR EDITOR: Stew Hamill’s letter to the editor (May 30) concerning Jeff Maguire’s earlier opinion piece on the pesticide ban lacks any substantiated evidence and certainly contains no rational discussion or scientific authority.

Hamill admits that everything he says to justify the ban is just opinion and speculative. Further, he suggests that toxic chemicals are a “leading candidate” in the death of birds and people, but surely the toxicity is the issue in a discussion of the ban. Asserting as fact that the chemical is toxic, in a debate as to whether the chemical is toxic, leaves little room for discussion.

In fact, the academic research I’ve reviewed concerning 2-4,D overwhelming declares it not a danger to humans or animals. Of course, in the mind of Hamill and those like him – liberal progressives” I think they’re called – it’s not open to discussion. “It’s for your own good, you

know; chemicals bad, me good, so take it or leave it.” The tyrant indoctrinates the masses, through lies and half-truths, to achieve his own interests, which of course are not saving birds or people, but control and power. The masses, minions now mini-tyrants, follow willingly, believing the tyrant’s interests are their interests. Nowhere is this more clear than in modern environmental activism.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” (C.S. Lewis) Terry Bennett Carleton Place

COMMENTARY Rally for Relay EMC Editorial – Something inspiring is happening this Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 and you’re all invited.

The Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track and Gemmill Park in Almonte will be illuminated with candles and messages of hope and remembrance during the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life celebrations.

The signature event for the society, the Relay is a 12-hour inspirational event where participants, cancer survivors and sufferers come together to walk and run throughout the evening. They will listen to music, share stories and make new friends as they raise funds for cancer research.

And all of the funds raised through the Mississippi Mills and Smiths Falls Relay for Life fundraisers stays in Lanark County and will be used for cancer support services as well as transportation and peer support programs administered by the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.

This year in Smiths Falls, marks the rebirth of the fundraiser as it will be held for the first time at SFDCI, having previously called the Lombardy Fairgrounds home for the past 14 years.

Anyone who hasn’t experienced the Relay, either as a participant or onlooker, certainly should. To witness the triumphant smiles on faces during the Survivor Walk, or read the handwritten notes to loved ones who have passed on during the nighttime luminary ceremony, it puts into perspective why this is so important; to make cancer history.

For more information about the Relay for Life, make a donation or purchase a luminary in memory of a loved one, visit www.relayforlife.ca.

Once given a chance, dandelions had a place at the table EMC Lifestyle – “Woman, we have been eatin’ those on this here farm for a hundred years,” Father said to Mother.

I could see Mother wasn’t impressed.

“They’re weeds, Albert,” she said.

“Plain and simple weeds. I never heard of anyone eating weeds!”

We were at the breakfast table. And we five children were looking at Mother and Father as if we were watching someone in a tennis match. I didn’t think Father was going to win this one!

The subject under discussion was dandelions. They covered what we called a lawn, but was really just our front yard, since we didn’t own a lawn mower, but when the grass got too high, one of the brothers tackled it with a scythe. It was hard to tell what was grass and what was dandelions.

On the way to school that morning, I asked my much older and wiser sister Audrey if she ever heard of anyone eating dandelions. She said she had. Once at her friend Iva’s house. She couldn’t remember what they tasted like.

Now, it wasn’t unusual for Father to whip up a German meal. In fact, we all enjoyed what he cooked...all except fried blood pudding which I even

had trouble looking at when it came to the table. When he fried sauerkraut, it never tasted at all like the batch Mother would make. Father would rinse it many times, put it in a fry pan with butter and chopped onions, and it wasn’t ready to eat until it had turned a golden brown.

His German potato pancakes were usually made on a Sunday night. The potatoes were shredded, rinsed, squeezed dry, and then mixed with eggs and of course, chopped onions. We kept him busy at the Findlay Oval turning out his pancakes barely giving him time to eat them himself, we loved them so much.

Of course, they were well lathered with butter and maple syrup too.

And now it was dandelions. Well, I was with Mother on this one! I had no desire to eat weeds that were pulled out of the front yard where goodness knows what animal had trampled all over them.

No siree.

That Saturday morning Father ordered the boys to meet him in the yard with their jack-knives. He was carrying a milk pail and got down on his knees right in the middle of the yard, and showed the brothers how to dig up a dandelion, right down to, and includVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

ing the root. It didn’t take long to fill the milk pail.

He hauled the pail over to the cement step at the pump and filled it with water. He sloshed the dandelions around with his arm in the pail up to his elbow, dumped the water out, and repeated the performance. Mother was standing at the kitchen door with her arms folded across her chest, as if defying Father to bring the weeds into the house.

Well, that’s exactly what he intended on doing. He laid out a spanking clean tea towel on the bake table, and shook what water he could off the dandelions and laid them out flat, cutting off the long roots. Then he folded the towel over the pile of weeds and patted it with his flattened hand.

time this was going on, there wasn’t a word spoken between Mother and Father. It was as if they hadn’t laid eyes on each other in their entire lives.

Father took down a big pot from the shelf over the stove and piled in the dandelions. He poured in a scant dipper of water, sprinkled in a handful of salt, and slid the pot to the front of the Findlay Oval. Then he went over to his rocking chair, lit his pipe, crossed his legs, and waited.

The table had already been set for dinner...we always had dinner at noon hour...supper was what we had at night, and Mother had roast pork and potatoes in the oven. It looked very much like we had a choice...either eat the dandelions as a vegetable, or settle for sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.

Father was certainly in charge of the big pot, already boiling gently on the stove. Mother was having nothing to do with it. He tested the innards with a fork, and when they were done to his liking, he poured the dandelions into the sieve, pressed them down with the wood spoon, and plopped them into a big bowl.

He took the wood spoon, dug it into ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

the butter dish, almost emptying it, and swirled it into the dandelions. He set the bowl in the middle of the table, and we all looked at it, no one daring to be the first one to dig in.

Emerson, the most daring of the lot of us, took his fork, and tested one boiled leaf. I never took my eyes off him. He rolled it around in his mouth, and reached out for the bowl, ladling a heaping pile on his plate. “Just as good as your potato pancakes,” he said.

It didn’t take long for Mother to admit that the dandelions had a place on our dinner table. She did demand to oversee the washing of every last leaf, however.

From that Saturday, like Father’s potato pancakes and fried sauerkraut, his boiled dandelions often found their way to our plates.

She did however, draw the line on eating the fried roots. Father said she didn’t know what she was missing. “I’ll take that chance,” Mother replied.

EMC News – Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville will receive a Fire Safety Award from the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council at a ceremony on June 12 in Toronto.

The annual Fire Safety Awards recognize outstanding contributions to fire protection and prevention in Ontario.

Rob Wittkie, a former volunteer firefighter, and his wife Kitty Wittkie, an employee of Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, are well aware of the importance of fire safety to the lives of children. So much so that in 2009, they approached the Lanark County fire chiefs with some ideas about making the homes of vulnerable children safer from fire.

To enhance safety, Wittkie and her supervisor, Pat Finnagan, developed the following strategy to ensure client homes were being protected by working smoke alarms.

When a caseworker visited a home, he/she would check for working smoke alarms. If there were none, the caseworker would supply them.

If any major fire safety issues were noted, the fire department would be contacted to follow up. The idea received the fire chiefs’ enthusiastic support, and the program was underway.

Since the inception of this initiative, 381 smoke alarms and 96 batteries have been distributed to clients of Family and Children’s Services in Lanark County.

In 2011, Rob was called to testify at the inquest into the deaths of a mother and two children in a Toronto house fire.

The Crown Attorney’s office was aware of the Lanark County program and felt that, since the fire victims had been under the care of the Children’s Aid Society, it would be of interest to the jury.

As a result of those inquest recommendations, a provincial program involving Children’s Aid Societies across Ontario has been implemented.

“The Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville has been instrumental in getting important life-saving information to those who are sometimes hard to reach,” said Ted Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal and chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council.

“Thanks to Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, hundreds of families in Lanark County are now protected by working smoke alarms.”

The Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council gratefully acknowledges the support of its sponsors in this event: Technical Standards and Safety Authority, The Co-operators Group, Kidde Canada Inc., Home Depot of Canada Inc., Proctor & Gamble Inc., Electrical Safety Authority, CSA Group, Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Roxul Inc. and Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada.

Chubby Checker becomes honourary resident of Beckwith Township promoter,” he said.

Over the years the two have stayed close, visiting and staying with each other.

Checker resides in Philadelphia with his wife of nearly 50 years, Catharina.

In the summer of 1960 he became a sensation with his version of Hank Ballard’s song, ‘The Twist’. What’s more, Checker’s dance, The Twist, transformed movement on the dance floor – people dancing apart to the beat.

His career is laced with honors and legacies, including 36 hit records, 250 million records sold and a 2012 induction into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.

These days, Checker still maintains a plump schedule of concert performances and personal appearances.

Darnell-Stokes is also a musician. During the ‘60s and ‘70s he performed throughout Ontario, Quebec and the eastern U.S. with his band, the XL’s.

Chubby Checker performs a song on the piano at the Beckwith Township municipal office on May 16.

He was in the area visiting Chuck Darnell-Stokes, his longtime friend and resident.

R0012141409_0606

EMC News – He was born Ernest Evans, but people worldwide know this American singersongwriter as Chubby Checker.

In the area last month for a performance at the Casino Lac Leamy in Gatineau, Checker called on his longtime friend, Beckwith Township resident Chuck Darnell-Stokes.

“The day before the show (May 16) he was visiting and wanted me to show him around,” said Darnell-Stokes.

The duo made a special stop at the municipal office, thrilling both staff and Reeve Richard Kidd.

“I was honoured to have Chubby Checker drop into the township office,” said Kidd. “Having an international entertainer sing while playing our piano will go down in Beckwith history.”

He thanked Stokes for organizing the afternoon.

In recognition of his visit, the township’s leader presented Checker with a plaque on behalf of council, declaring him an honourary resident of Beckwith Township. The performer was thrilled with the recognition.

Darnell-Stokes said Checker is a very downto-earth person, someone who always remembers his friends. “He is a shy type,” he continued, “and when he is not performing, he is very reserved.”

Darnell-Stokes would love to bring his friend back to Beckwith Township to headline a fundraiser for the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. Unfortunately, associated costs would be in the region of $35,000 and backers would be required.

He said the show could be held at the Beckwith Recreational Complex, and other entertainers – a mixture of country and rock and roll – might include Marty Stuart, a five time Grammy-winner and Grand Ole Opry star, as well as Canadian group Ambush (made up of Mark McDonell, Riq Turner and Tom VanCoughnett).

Approximately 2,500 people attended Checker’s show on May 17 at the Casino Lac Leamy.

Any businesses, organizations or individuals interested in supporting a possible concert can contact Darnell-Stokes by email at westone@storm. ca.

Smiths Falls fly-in breakfast busy despite weather

By JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC News – Despite the windy and off and on rain showers that swept through the area on Sunday, the annual fly-in breakfast at the Smiths Falls Flying Club went off without a hitch.

Organizers, according to the vice president of the club Bernie Scobie, have in the past, planned for at least a thousand visitors but the weather has the final say. “In the past,” said Scobie “we would have pilots from as far away as western Canada come for breakfast.”

There were not many flyers enjoying weekend trips thanks to the weather but as usual the flying club had a full house of hungry visitors for breakfast who arrived by car. The breakfast has become a

60-year tradition for the club.

One pilot, Don Kugler from New Jersey made the trip up to Smith Falls for the breakfast. He set out from the Sky Manor airport before the weather became an issue. Sky Manor is located in Pittstown New Jeresy.

“It is a small privately owned public use airport that myself and a group of other pilots own,” explained Kugler.

He comes up every year when he can and stays at his parent’s cottage. He lives in New Jersey and in Florida. This year it took Kugler only an hour and forty-five minutes to make the trip which is 240 nautical miles and more than 6 hours by car.

Kugler flies a Vans RV-8. “It is a high performance custom built airplane that I completed construction on in 2003,” said Kugler. The

airplane took five years to build. It currently has 1100 flying hours to its credit. The small but efficiently designed airplane seats two people and is made entirely of aluminum. The airplane has a cruising speed of 175 knots which on the ground would be the equivalent to 210 miles per hour Helping out with all those breakfast ham and eggs are a great group of volunteers including members of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets 585 Rideau Squadron.

The cadets have been helping out with the annual flying club breakfast for the past fifteen years said Captain Richard Buckley.

The cadets volunteer to help with serving the breakfast and clean-up as well as keeping the parking organized and marshaling any aircraft that arrive at the club for the breakfast.

Household Hints

Small museums offer window to local history

R0012141598_0606

EMC Lifestyle – Museums have been high on my personal radar recently. So much so that I am moved to offer some thoughts about the role museums play in the life of every community that has one or more of these important institutions.

I am a founding member of the Roy Brown Society in Carleton Place which is dedicated to developing a full-fledged aviation museum.

Carleton Place residents made a significant contribution to the incredible story of flight. Most prominent among them is Captain Arthur Roy Brown. He is the First World War flying ace who shot down Germany’s Baron Manfred von Richthofen on April 21, 1918 during a dogfight in the sky above war ravaged France. Richthofen, later nicknamed ‘The Red Baron’, was the highest scoring airman of World War I with 80 victories to his credit.

The first phase of what, hopefully, will be an even larger museum, is now open in historic Moore House located opposite the Carleton Place Town Hall. The initial displays, most of which are dedicated to Brown and 14 other World War I pilots from Carleton Place, are now available for public viewing on Friday and Saturday afternoons.

I took a shift at Moore House Friday on behalf of the society. It was very quiet because word is not yet out that the museum is open to the general public.

The photographs and artifacts our small group has compiled to date are fascinating. They offer insight into a local story which, surprisingly, has achieved very little recognition here since the fateful aerial showdown between Brown and Richthofen 95 years ago.

The Brown-Richthofen saga is far better known internationally than it is in Canada. The evidence is in the

large number of books written on the subject as well as the massive amount of material available on the world-wide web. Some of the items currently on view in Moore House were purchased via the Internet.

For any readers planning to visit Carleton Place in the near future there is also an impressive mural depicting the aerial battle in 1918.

The spectacular, 40-foot by 40-foot mural was formally dedicated during a ceremony last November. It is painted on the side of the building which houses the offices of local MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier at the intersection of Bridge and High Streets. That’s on the opposite side of the Central Bridge from Moore House.

Local museums, such as the fledgling Roy Brown facility, are a window to the communities they serve.

Through displays of all kinds they offer visitors an opportunity to trace the history of the community and the district to which they are dedicated.

Two years ago we visited Germany and France in the company of our friends and regular travel companions Frank and Wendy LeBlanc.

During his military career Frank spent 11 years criss-crossing Germany as a member of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. His wife Wendy (she is now the mayor of Carleton Place) was a teacher who taught at several schools during her

time in the country.

Local museums During our 2011 visit we were based in the picturesque village of Gengenbach in the breathtaking Black Forest region of southwest Germany.

From there we also toured the Alsace wine producing region of east-central France.

In my opinion no visit to any country is complete without checking out some of the local museums.

On our first full day Wendy scanned her guidebook and discovered a museum in the village of Steinach, not far from Gengenbach, they had never been to.

Not unlike small museums here this particular facility is run by volunteers. An affable, elderly gentleman welcomed us. He and Frank, who is fluent in German, were soon engaged in conversation.

All four of us were fascinated by the little Steinach museum which is filled with many excavated artifacts including a large collection of arrow heads and weapons (among them

Connected to your community

were numerous hand fashioned knives and small tools) from past civilizations.

Our guide directed us to the basement, a rather musty smelling place. It contained many more interesting objects from the history of the community and the region.

The visit left us wanting more and we found that in the numerous centres, large and small, we toured during our 10day stay.

That’s the thing about local museums. They provide snapshots (often literally) of the communities they serve, giving visitors an introduction to the district and the country they are exploring.

It is no different here. I am sure the local museum where you live has a great deal to offer. Unfortunately most people tend to ignore some of the wonderful places and opportunities available in their own communities. Small museums struggle to attract an audience. That’s a shame because so much hard work goes into the displays and the information available is incredibly interesting and important.

On May 17 my wife Kath-

leen and I attended the opening of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum’s 2013 exhibit. The museum is located in the former Victoria School, the same place where one Roy Brown attended classes when he was a lad growing up in Carleton Place.

This year’s exhibit is entitled ‘Traveling Through Time.’ It’s an ingenious way of promoting, not time travel, but rather how Canadians, and specifically people in our district, got around over the years.

From a photo of the steamer which once plied the waters of the Mississippi River and lakes, to a look at the first motor vehicles here, to souvenirs of the taxis and the buses (do you remember Colonial Coach?) which once served the area, the display offers intriguing glimpses of how the transportation network developed locally.

In winter horses and cutters, skis, snowshoes and even skates were among the modes of transport favoured by many.

There’s also a look at how traveling salespeople impacted the economy as well as information on the service stations (local garages) which were so

important before the arrival of major automotive dealerships.

I spent a lot of time viewing information, documents and photos in a cabinet dedicated to the late George Doucett (18961974). Besides operating his well-known insurance business he also served as both the MPP and MP for this district. Doucett spent 20 years in the provincial Legislature including serving as the Ontario Minister of Highways. Among his many accomplishments was overseeing the

development of Highway 400, a major provincial artery which runs north from Toronto.

Among the transportation artifacts on display is an old wooden spoke wheel. The photo collection includes some historic pictures featuring Bennett Motors and the late Vic Bennett Sr. The firm continues to operate very successfully here.

The Carleton Place museum display perfectly illustrates what I am attempting to articulate this week. Local museums

are far too important to miss.

Take the time to visit the museum in your community soon.

I’m sure you won’t regret it!

I think this rather profound statement, which I have heard a number of times, helps sum up the role of museums in our lives, “If you don’t know where you’ve been, how can you know where you’re going!”

Residents speak out against dog grooming business proposal

By DIANA FISHER

EMC News - Monday’s Committee of the Whole session began with a public meeting concerning a zoning amendment to allow for a residential dog grooming business at 103 Stonewalk Drive.

For over an hour, residents of the Stonehaven subdivision voiced their concerns about increased traffic and decreased property value if their neighbour Kathryn Pentland-Bruck is allowed to open the small business in her home.

Pentland-Bruck gave a thorough business plan presentation, assuring those present that her plan is to start business on a part-time basis, working up to a schedule of three to five client visits per day between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. She does not expect to have more cars parking outside her home than would fit in her four-car driveway and she has no plans to erect an outdoor holding pen for the animals.

The current zoning for the property allows for a variety of home-based businesses such as those operated by hairstylists, architects, insurance agents, medical practitioners and even veterinarians. Pentland-Bruck said she didn’t feel her proposed business would be much of a stretch as an acceptable use from that perspective.

Concerns from the neighbours included increased traffic, animals on the loose, unsightly fencing structures and decrease in their property value as a result of this potential business. The matter has been deferred to June 17, when another public meeting

will take place. In the interim, the applicant is expected to provide further information to address her neighbours’ concerns.

Underground shooting range approved All information has come in and all questions have been answered with respect to an amendment allowing an underground shooting range on Mussell Road. The matter was previously deferred on two occasions pending further information from the proponent, Andrew McCue. As a shooting range is possibly one of the most regulated operations in the country, McCue really just needed the time to reassure council of all the rules he must follow in order to maintain an operating license for his business.

If McCue’s license to operate the shooting range is ever revoked by the Chief Firearms Office or his property is one day sold, the fortified facility that houses the underground shooting range becomes an illegal structure and will have to be demolished.

At Monday’s meeting, Councillor Tim Sutton asked that a mechanism be put in place to notify the municipality if the owner’s operating license is ever revoked. Senior planner Phil Gerrard agreed that the site plan agreement could include this stipulation.

Following this assurance, the Committee of the Whole recommended council approve the application for zoning amendment.

LOCAL NEWS BRIEFS From page K1

Fred Heller, Project Manager for Kemptville Meadows, gave a presentation to council last night to provide information on the redesign of Phase 3 of the subdivision. The area behind Phase 2, previously marked for future development, will be used to turn the forty-eight stacked townhomes in the original Phase 3 plan into forty-eight street townhomes. Director of Planning and Development Forbes Symon noted Heller was not required to appear before council on this matter but had offered to do so for informational purposes.

Heller has been working with municipal staff and a modification to the site plan is required but all approvals are in place. The price level of the units will not change with this design modification. Symon also stated Kemptville Meadows is providing a very important opportunity for affordable housing in the community.

Economic Development intern Rebecca McEvoy is back working with the municipality and this year she will be focusing on a revitalization plan for the Rideau-Sanders Triangle. McEvoy says the first step is a series of community consultations with business and private stakeholders.

There are over 50 businesses in the triangle, and a number of private residences.

The vision for this area is to develop it into a link between the Highway 43 corridor and the Old Town Kemptville downtown core by incorporating mixed use and infill properties, redevelopment of brownfields and a number of key deliverables.

Councillor Terry Butler asked if a traffic study would be part of the analysis and Forbes Symon said that traffic would be a key component of an overall comprehensive vision of changes that need to happen in this area. McEvoy plans to update council in August so that the project can be reassessed.

Are you looking for a full-time position? We offer a casual work environment. This position is suited for someone reliable, self motivated, with great customer service skills and knowledge of the automotive business. Knowledge of the French language would be an asset but not necessary.

Must be computer literate and be able to update existing websites for our company.

You can register by phone at 613-258-3203 or in person at the centre.

EMC News - Vandals hit the Giving Garden on Saturday night causing extensive damage to the property.

Organizers noticed the destruction when they checked the garden on Sunday morning the day after a very successful Planting Day at the Garden.

The picnic table had been thrown on top of the gazebo, tearing the canopy and bending the frame; two concrete benches were turned over and one smashed; and a beautiful Giving Garden sign was completely destroyed.

Last fall, a Giving Garden picnic table was stolen.

On Saturday, volunteers installed a new table, donated by the LA Group, and anchored it securely to a post with a heavy chain. The culprits must have been upset with this deterrent and decided to make an angry statement of their own.

Organizers are grateful that the damage was restricted to material only and not to the garden itself.

On Saturday twelve hardworking volunteers had spent the morning planting this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden plots and weeding the large perennial circle.

The sad irony of this incident is that the Giving Garden was started by the late Terry McEvoy to combat this kind of behaviour.

The sign that was destroyed included one of Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite

Organizers say that this wanton and cowardly act of destruction by a few bad apples is an insult to the memory of one of North Grenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest residents.

It does not reflect the kind and generous community that we live in and it will not deter them from continuing the good work of the Giving Garden.

Anyone who may have witnessed something suspicious around the Giving Garden on Saturday night is asked to please contact the OPP.

A fun introduction to hockey

Photo by JOSEPH MORIN

EMC Sports - On Saturday, June 1, the Kemptville District Minor Hockey Association hosted an Esso Fun Day event for girls to try hockey for the first time. The event, sponsored

by Esso and Hockey Canada, was a free on-ice session where girls new to hockey could try skating with full equipment on, passing the puck and playing an actual game of hockey with no pressure to commit to a full season. The girls received an Esso/Hockey Canada jersey and it appeared that all the participants had a fun time on the ice. Kemptville Storm coaches and players volunteered their time for this fun event. KDMHA thanks Esso and Hockey Canada for sponsoring the jerseys and ice time.

Cleaning up for all that talent Kemptville Youth Centre executive director Robin Heald stirs the paint while the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing intern Alexandra Smith sands down a wall in preparation for painting. The two were the among the many volunteers who dropped by the centre on Saturday to help get ready for the KYC Kemptvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent event on June 7.

Junior Golfer Sponsorship Program The Ownership and Management of Equinelle Golf Club is proud to announce for the first time, our new Junior Golfer Sponsorship Program.

This exciting new program starts June 15th and will run throughout the summer at Equinelle Golf Club. Our program will include five ( 5) participants that will receive instruction on a weekly basis, unlimited use of our practice facilities and weekday golfing (after 1:00pm). All of these benefits are totally FREE of charge. They will also receive a logoed hat and golf shirt compliments of Equinelle Golf Club.

We are hoping to get a mix of boys and girls interested in participating in this unique opportunity at Equinelle Golf Club. We are looking forward to many submissions from local children living in North Grenville. Golf is our way of giving back to the community and we hope interested parties will submit their entry to: info@equinellegolf.ca Or drop off to our Pro Shop to the attention of Katharine Usher-Vollett, General Manager

What’s in your pocket?

E

MC Editorial - A cell (or smart) phone or computer can hold a lot of secrets. It’s another world for many people.

It’s a place where you can lose yourself, create a new identity, become someone you’re not.

Granted, in today’s society, getting through a day without being plugged into something electronic is practically unheard of. Smartphones are needed by working society as people respond to emails, create appointments, check in on their kids, plan the grocery shopping – all at the click of one’s finger… or thumb.

Hand-held devices, laptops and tablets go everywhere one can travel comfortably.

Walk down the street, go grocery shopping, to a show or a restaurant - anywhere you go – there are people plugged into their devices: texting, listening to music, making calls, Googling, shopping.

Our worlds are so integrated in our devices that if we misplace it or leave it at home one day, or heaven forbid, it needs a factory reset for some techie glitch, then the world will collapse around us.

So what is on that smartphone in your pocket? Would your spouse show you his or her phone if you asked?

What about your child’s devices? Would they let you near them?

If the answer to those questions is “no”, then it may be time to get some answers.

Adults, you’re on your own here, but as far as your children are concerned, in today’s world, where it seems everyone has a cell phone, there are even more precautions that parents need to take to ensure

E

their child’s safety.

This is not just about bullying via text messages, or phone calls, but it’s about sexual predators. Smartphones allow children and youth the opportunity to get online to pornographic sites, dating sites, Facebook accounts, look at photos and watch videos.

Const. Sean Trahan, OPP officer with the Lanark OPP Detachment in Carleton Place, visited The Stewart School last month where he shared concerns about predators online who are seeking young victims. “It’s not like in the old days when you would find your dad’s old Playboy magazine,” Trahan said as he talked with students and parents about internet safety.

The constable said that some of the top hits for children and youth with cell phones are ‘porn’ and ‘sex’. These two searches are in the top 10; right after Justin Bieber and video games.

Trahan recommended students not share their email passwords with anyone but their parents. He also said that activating a firewall and backing up all files to help keep your children safe.

By being open with your children and their electronics, you can keep a better handle on what is happening in their world. Ask them to share with you; don’t put them on the defense, but encourage them to talk about their safety plan, and the judicial fallout about sexting (sending and receiving lewd or nude photos of others), pornography and bullying.

It’s better to scare them with the truth than ignore the issue all together.

Wonderdog’s no fan of summer storms

MC Lifestyle - I love a summer storm. I’m not crazy about 50 kph winds that rip the tin roof off the stable but I love a cracking thunderstorm with lightning and rain.

Especially when I’m sitting on the sun porch, under the blanket on the love seat, with a cup of tea and a good book.

The farm animals do not share my fondness for Mother Nature’s fireworks display.

The last time we had a storm, I watched with interest as the sheep led the way up from the pasture as the clouds opened and dropped torrents of rain on their fleece.

They speed-walked as fast as they could up the field, their udders hobbling their steps and their little ones tripping along behind them.

I could hear them complaining all the way up the pasture, “my wool is shrinking!” The horse doesn’t mind the rain, but she sure moves at the first rumble of thunder.

Then she makes thunder of her own, racing up the field with those big dinnerplate hooves tearing up the soil in her wake.

The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER

I’m always afraid she is going to trip on a stone and break a leg and that will be the end of her. But you can’t get her to slow down when she’s spooked.

Just stay the heck out of her way. 1,800 pounds of scaredy cat at 50 kph, kicking up sod.

The cows are usually safely tucked in the barn well before the storm. They seem to be very perceptive when bad weather is coming and they get in out of the way of it before the lightning strikes.

The cats love to watch the storm, from a dry, safe place in the hay loft.

They aren’t fond of getting wet either.

No one hates storms more than Cody the Wonderdog. Well before the wind and the rain, he starts fussin’ to be let into the house.

He seems to know the difference be-

tween a regular rain and an electrical storm, long before the rest of us. Rain drives him into his doghouse.

A thunderstorm drives him right up the wall. If we aren’t home to let the dog into the house during the storm, he breaks off his leash and runs.

He runs and runs until someone lets him in, somewhere. Saturday afternoon we got a call from the neighbours at the end of the road. “Are you missing a black dog?” This is the second time in a month that the dog has run away during a storm.

I looked out the window and saw the broken lead hanging from the clothesline run. “Uh, yeah, I guess we are. Sorry; we’ll come and get him right away.”

No worries, said the neighbour. The dog was having his nerves calmed with a juicy hamburger. Right.

The Farmer swears his dog was not nervous about storms before I arrived six years ago. He says Cody would just go in his doghouse and sleep through the storm. Apparently I taught him to freak out during a storm.

Well that just doesn’t make much sense to me, because I’m not afraid of storms and the dog seems to react the

same way whether I’m home or not.

And I think a lot of dogs are afraid of thunderstorms. My sister’s dog, a Rottweiler/Shepherd mix named Mandy used to bust in the screen door when there was a storm, and hide under the nearest bed.

In the years that she lived at my mother’s house, the dog must have busted the screen a total of six times. Dad would take the door off, bring it to Blair at Home Hardware for re-screening, and hang it up again. Next storm, same thing.

Eventually the frame of the door was so bent you could barely get it open.

Mom would be at an event of some

Salvation Army memories EMC News - My husband, Simon, and I have been the Directors at The Salvation Army in Kemptville for almost 3 and a half years now. I’ll never forget arriving in Kemptville late November, just as the Christmas ministries were getting into full swing. It was a very busy season and we had a lot to learn.

Stephanie Gilmer very graciously introduced us to so many of the kind and generous supporters in our town. I remember standing with Melanie McElhinney at the OPP BBQ, swapping life stories and rejoicing in all of the things we had in common, most of all, a deep love for Jesus and a passion for making His love known. It was a very welcome.

I’ll never forget the night that I received a phone call at my home from a man who was in desperate need of oil to keep his furnace running through the night. Simon was away but my parents were visiting from out of town. So, I left the kids with them while I bundled up to brave

Big Brothers Big Sisters basket draw the cold winter night.

I arrived at The Salvation Army and he was already there, waiting in his car with his wife.

As I rushed to get out of my van, I slipped and fell hard on the ice that was underfoot. The gentleman hurried over to my aid. I was so embarrassed! I said to myself, “Hurry up, Allison, get up! Ow, ow, ow!” I tried to walk as if it didn’t hurt, up the stairs and into the building.

Thankfully, I was able to retrieve the gas vouchers so that the man could get his oil (he was very grateful) and my ankle/shin was fine in the end.

I’ll always remember that night that I went out in the cold and fell on the ice, all in an effort to help a family stay warm for the night.

It’s why I do what I do.

EMC News - The Scotiabank in Kemptville is giving back to their community by having a Spring Basket Draw to raise funds for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville.

Local author releases book on presidential trivia

By SABINE GIBBINS sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC News – Who was the only President with an earned PhD? Which U.S. president served in four different wars during his 40 years in the military?

What was the significance of the numeration 118,574 in the life of John F. Kennedy?

These are just a few of the trivia questions greeting the reader as they open up local author and staunch library supporter Pat Babin’s book, Presidential Trivia, a book designed to quiz one on all American presidents. It was published by Friesen Press, which operates out of British Columbia.

The Kemptville resident, who was born in Fort Kent, Maine, has always been fascinated with the United States presidency ever since April 12, 1945 – the day when Franklin Delano Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia “What I remember most vividly about that cool spring day in my hometown of Fort Kent, Maine, was the prevalent expression of sorrow, particularly among adults,” he writes in his book.

“For us, it meant a day off from the Baxter School. All we knew was that FDR was the man who had brought us out of the Great Depression and, oh yes, provided us with electricity.”

The book is available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book. Babin says the whole process took him about a year to complete.

In between devoting much of his energy to fundraising efforts with the Friends of the Library in North Grenville, he spent hours poring over written material about each of the 44 presidents.

“I had stacks and stacks of notes, and boxes full of index cards,” he recalled.

“I came up with more than 190 items.

There was a lot of detective work involved; I had to double-check every item.”

The fun part of writing the book was, no doubt, the research, he says. The challenge, however, was separating fact from fiction.

“Sometimes there’s more myth than fact,” Babin said.

Dedicated to his parents Juliette and Alvey, the book is separated into 22 different trivia sections, with answers found at the back.

The book is introduced by a quote from former president George H. W. Bush, which states, “The day will come – and it is not far off – when the legacy of Lincoln will finally be fulfilled at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue when a black man or woman will sit in the Oval Office. When that day comes, the most remarkable thing about it will be how naturally it occurs.”

This very statement tells a lot about American politics today, with president Barack Obama at the helm.

An educator by profession, he received his Master of Science in Educational Administration from the University of Maine, Orono, and his Ph.D in

Kids Fun Run/Walk planned for Father’s Day participant who raises the most money in pledges, has the best costume (for centipede teams), shows the best spirit and is the youngest and most senior in age.

Registration begins at 9 a.m., with a 10 a.m. start for the one-kilometre event and a 10:15 a.m. start for the five-kilometre event. "In the past four years, we have contributed over $10,000 to Champions for Kids. It is truly rewarding to know that the money raised goes right back into the hands of families who see the benefits immediately."

The minimum pledge is $20 for families or individual runners, and $100 for centipede teams.

“I’ve run twice now,” says North Grenville District High School Principal Steve Sharp. “It was a wonderful experience; lots of fun with my family and colleagues for a great cause. Then we got to eat some ribs!”

Crawford would like to thank TD Canada Trust locations in Kemptville and the Brockville Shopping Centre for their ongoing

support of this event. For the last three years, TD has sponsored student centipede teams from schools in their local area.

New this year, branch managers from Perth, Prescott and downtown Brockville have joined in to sponsor teams from Glen Tay Public School, South Grenville District High School, and Brockville Collegiate Institute. Crawford would specifically like to thank TD representatives Kimberly Bologna of Kemptville, Joe Dorrington of the Brockville Shopping Centre, Michael Rath of Perth, Lisa TyoChatterton of Prescott, and David Keenleyside of downtown Brockville for getting on board.

In addition, Crawford would like to thank accountant Anthony Fritz for sponsoring a Lyn Public School team, Team Solutions for sponsoring a team from Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Lawrence College for sponsoring two teams to participate, and Walmart for sponsoring a student team from Kemptville Public School for the third year in a row.

community partners, daycare providers, and all interested parties to submit a centipede team of at least five members,” says Crawford.

“Centipede teams are a lot of fun for groups of families, friends, or coworkers.”

“We also understand that some of us would rather finish the event individually, and not tied to a team,” laughs Crawford. “That option is still very popular too! It’s nice to have the choice.”

Crawford said she’s also thrilled that the event has once again partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville which will be hosting Ribfest at the same location.

“Both events have one common goal in mind – to support children in our communities,” she says.

“After the walk/run, participants are invited to visit Ribfest next door and enjoy KIDZONE, face painting, bounce house, petting zoo, pony rides, skee ball, basketball, arcade games, balloons, and of course, ribs!”

EMC News - The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is gearing up to host its fifth annual Champions for Kids Fun Run/ Walk called “Strive for Five!” on Sunday, June 16, 2013 – Father’s Day – at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville.

This year, event organizers have a goal to raise $5,000 for the foundation which supports families of children who can’t afford to play sports or enjoy the arts outside of school hours, as well as families whose children require medical care.

“We’re so excited to reach this goal, and we know we can do it,” says event chair Sarah Crawford.

As in previous years, participants are invited to participate in the one-kilometre or five-kilometre walk/run as individual participants or centipede teams. Centipede teams are groups of five to eight people who walk or run in costume and stay tied together in some unique way.

Dr. Clark M. Kerr, 59, passed from this life on Sunday, May 19, 2013 in Lubbock, Texas. Born to Evelyn and Archibald Kerr in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada in 1954, Dr. Kerr was the youngest of four children. A curious and intelligent child, Dr. Kerr graduated High School from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute in 1972 as an Ontario Scholar, before moving on to the University of Ottawa.

Earning his place at the University of Ottawa Medical School two years early, Dr. Kerr received his Doctorate of Medicine in 1978. After completing his Internship and Residency in Internal Medicine in Ottawa, Dr. Kerr was awarded a fellowship at Duke University to specialize in Infectious Disease in 1981. This unique specialty brought him to Lubbock in 1989 to head up the new Infection Control program for what is now the Covenant Health System.

Practicing here in Lubbock in various roles, Dr. Kerr maintained his status as a premier expert in infectious and tropical disease and infection control, eventually growing a successful private practice with others in the field. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the young age of 38, Dr. Kerr eventually retired from medical practice in 2001. Following this retirement, Dr. Kerr put his medical expertise to use by serving as a medical legal consultant and expert witness. As a young man in Canada, Dr. Kerr was saved by Grace. Throughout his life, he took every opportunity to share the Gospel with those he came in contact with. Although regarding Texas as “God’s country”, Dr. Kerr also enjoyed many happy summers at his cottage on the Rideau Lake near his childhood home. Dr. Kerr was an avid reader, dog lover and extensive traveler. He will be remembered by all who knew him for his commitment to his patients and his profession, his unique sense of humor, and his generous spirit.

Survivors include his son, Andrew Kerr and his wife, Courtney; mother, Evelyn Kerr; brothers, Bill Kerr and wife, Carol, and Tom Kerr and his wife, Carol; and sister, Patsy Harlow and her husband, Phil; along with many other dear friends and loved ones. Dr. Kerr is preceded in death by his father.

WEIR, Dianne November 12, 1944 - June 7, 2010 It has now been 3 years since you left to join our moms and dads in heaven.

It is still hard for me to believe that you are gone. What keeps me going is that I know I will see you again, God willing. Jeff and Donna have been very supportive over the past 3 years and they miss and love you very much. You would be very proud of Jeff. He is the man he is today because of you. I want to walk down the beach again with you hand in hand looking at the ocean and that is not going to happen, very sad. I only have memories and it is not enough. I miss you every day Dianne. You are and always will be “The girl of my dreams, my princess”.

Sadly missed but never forgotten.

Duncan, Jeff, Donna, Joanne, Carole, Patti, Laird, Bob, Karen, and so many of your long time friends.

CORDICK, James H. – In loving memory of my husband, my friend, who passed away June 9, 2003.

We made our vows together and said Till death do we part.

When God came and took your hand, My whole world fell apart.

No one knows the heartache I try so hard to hide, No one knows how many times I’ve broken down and cried.

When I look back upon our life Just one thing makes me glad, That you chose to share your life with me.

Always loved, always remembered Wife Doris

IN MEMORIAM

JUNE

“WE REMEMBER” Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is

also our way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973.

Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying…“We Remember”.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

WYNN, Gloria In loving memory of a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who passed away June 11, 2012.

A year ago the Angels gathered near your bed so very close to you.

They knew the pain and suffering that you were going through.

We thought about so many things, as we held tightly to your hand.

Oh, how we wished that you were strong and happy once again.

But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky.

Where Jesus held his outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye.

We struggled with our selfish thoughts, for we wanted you to stay.

So we could walk and talk again, like we did just yesterday.

But Jesus knew the answer, and we knew He loved you so.

So we gave to you life’s greatest gift, the gift of letting go.

Always in our thoughts and to never leave our hearts, Penny, Art, Matt, Jenn, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

IN MEMORIAM

RITCHIE-HILL, Cheryl – In loving memory of a dear daughter, mother, wife, sister and aunt who passed away June 8, 2012.

God looked around His garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Forever in our hearts Love Mom and family

IN MEMORIAM

KNIGHT - In loving memory of my parents Gordon, who passed away June 29, 1996 and Lyllis, June 12, 2007 The moment that you died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their Mom/Dad Treat them with tender care.

You will never know the emptiness As when you turn and they’re not there.

Loved and missed everyday, daughter Heather

TriCounty Addiction Services Needs Volunteer Board Members TriCAS provides health promotion and addictions counselling to families and individuals in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville who are challenged by alcohol or other drug misuse, problem gambling, or concurrent mental health and addiction issues.

We would be especially pleased to invite you to our Annual General Meeting if you share an interest in our work and would like to volunteer to become a Member of our Board of Directors.

We are a non-profit corporation which is funded by the South East Local Health Integration Network, and we also report to the Champlain LHIN. Our Directors are responsible for setting policies that guide our services and for ensuring our accountability in our funding agreements with the SE LHIN. Directors meet monthly throughout the year and may also participate on committees which report to the Board. Making addiction services available to our communities is as important as providing mental health and medical care. The work of the Board and its committees addresses the best ways to do that, how to ensure the quality and effectiveness of our services, options to integrate services with other agencies, and the most advantageous deployment of our resources in a time of provincial fiscal restraint.

If you live or work in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville and would like to contribute your time, expertise, or life experience to our work, please contact Helen Latimer-Hanah, Administrative Secretary, by e-mail at helen@tricas.on.ca or by phone at 613-283-7723 Ext 311. For more information about our agency, please visit our website: www.tricas.on.ca, or drop into our offices and pick up a service pamphlet (Smiths Falls– 88 Cornelia Street West; Brockville – 1805 Oxford Avenue). If you are unable to attend our AGM but would like to meet at another time, we can then discuss with you the next steps to take in order to complete an application to become a Member of our Board.

Help give your baby a healthy start: Have alcohol-free pregnancy EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 four recommends that the safest choice for

those who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or 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.

Over the next few months, the health unit, along with local partners, is promoting the message â&#x20AC;&#x153;No safe time, no safe type, no safe amount.â&#x20AC;?

your health throughout your reproductive years, even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 alcohol-

From page 34

and no safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. 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

ic drinks for non-alcoholic cocktails, also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;mocktails.â&#x20AC;? Mocktails are a delicious and fun way to have a drink without the effects of alcohol.

OPP makes progress on supporting healthy workforce, workplaces EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has sent its second quarterly update to the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman, with details on its progress in further addressing the issue of operational stress injuries (OSI) affecting OPP members.

The OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OSI Working Group is

undertaking an in-depth review of the Ombudsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations and the OPP is reporting quarterly on various activities including educational and awareness-raising initiatives.

In partnership with the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human resource services, the OSI Working Group is piloting a workshop which is

being held in various locations across the province for managers at the rank of staff sergeant, and above. The Managing for a Healthy Workplace workshop focuses on injury, illness and employment accommodation; return to work; Workplace Safety Insurance; employee assistance programs; and workplace dis-

crimination and harassment prevention including respect in the workplace and conflict management. This training encourages managers to explore practical strategies for overseeing a healthy workplace while reducing stigma associated with employment accommodation.

The OPP is also continuing to build

Regular employment at the fish fry

Volunteers get the job done

EMC Events - Members of the Mount Zion Masonic Lodge 28 held their 33rd fish fry event at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Saturday evening. Taking tickets at the door are Joe Marshall and John McCowan. Joe Marshall, on the left, is 90 years old and has had the same job at the ticket desk of the fish fry for the past 20 years. He has been a member of the Masons for 53 years.

EMC Events - The Mount Zion Masonic Lodge 28 fed hundreds of people on Saturday night at the North Grenville Municipal Centre during their annual fish fry. Cooking up all that delicious ocean perch were an army of volunteers. Another group of volunteers made sure all that food got out to hungry people.

GARDENER’S CORNER

CHURCH LISTINGS

Ducklings For those of you that follow this column, you know how I feel about ducks. On May 23rd I picked up three new ducklings from the local feed store. They come from a hatchery and never get to meet their Mom. They are fuzzy little yellow day old ducklings and come in a cardboard box. Ducklings imprint on the first thing they see. The first thing they saw was me. From now on, I’m their Mom. Day old ducklings need some special care.

They need warmth and water and feed for little ducks. All has been provided. By the second day, the imprint was obvious. When I lower my hand into the enclosure they are eager to climb into my palm and be stroked.

If cuddled, they will nod off.

In absence of a mother duck, they will take considerably longer to get their feathers oiled up and become waterproof. I wish I could help. Instinct seems to take over. One of the ducklings is dipping his beak in the oil gland and getting his feathers oiled. I hope the other two are taking notes.

Customers at the nursery were just charmed with the new additions to our staff. In a few weeks they will take their place in our pond.

The two adult ducks we already have in the pond are both drakes. One is a Rouen and “Little Peep” is a Rouen/Muscovy cross. If one was a hen, the new duckings would be welcomed unconditionally. I’m not sure how two drakes will react. I’m going to take baby steps introducing the new ducklings.

The new ducklings are Pekin. They will be white and look like small swans. They will follow me everywhere, after all, I am their Mom. When a duckling imprints, they look you in the eye and they hold your gaze. They have remarkable vision and have been snapping mosquitoes out of the air.

I have lost ducks to predators. With each loss I have learned more about how better to protect them. It doesn’t alter the fact that every one of them had a special place in my heart (especially Huey). Once you bond with a duck, everything changes. They are the most charming and placid creatures. They are funny and a constant reminder of the best that nature can be.

I’ve said this before. If you can have poultry in your garden, do it. You will never regret having chickens or ducks. We are getting big brown eggs from our hens and they love to squat down and be petted. We get eggs, manure and pest control. The ducks give us perspective about what is important in life. Family, simplicity and a boundless enthusiasm for life.

I have high hopes for my baby ducks. I will keep you posted on their progress.

Garden well.

SINKING IN DEBT?

EMC News - Organizers of the ‘hot dog and a deal’ at Olde Porch Primitives thank everyone for coming out and making it a successful Spring Sale. Tents, tables, chairs and firefighter (Brad Jackson) were donated by the Kemptville Fire Department.

Debbie Van Gurp thanks her husband Gerry for all his help and her girls Pam Perrin, Amie Jackson and Yvonne May for working so hard to bring everything together so nicely as always.

It’s time for sixth annual South Nation Forestry Tour EMC News - It’s the best deal around for a sightseeing tour of part of Eastern Ontario that’s also an environmental learning experience.

It’s South Nation Conservation’s 6th annual Forestry Bus Tour and it’s absolutely free including lunch. The tour departs SNC offices in Finch June 12 at 8 a.m., returning at 4:30 p.m.

Participants travel in style on a comfortable coach rather than a school bus. Between full stops, points of interest are described.

“It’s one of the ways SNC increases awareness of its forestry activities within the watershed and everyone is welcome,” said Josee Brizard, SNC Team Lead, Forest Resources.

The only restriction is a limited number of seats allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.

They can be booked by contacting 877-984-2948 or aclark@nation.on.ca. Deadline is June 7.

The focus is forestry and the tour will concentrate on the north-eastern region of the watershed. Stops will include the recently opened Leitrim Boardwalk, a donated Hallville property, a sweat lodge at Moose Creek, and a Christmas tree farm.

A group lunch will be provided at Sand Road Maple Farm, Moose Creek.

Not only does the tour offer a chance for residents to view some important and interesting sites, but they also get to meet SNC staff and learn more about its programs and services, Brizard said.

She pointed out the tour is timely with growing public concern over deforestation due to

increased demand for land to put into residential development and farm crops.

According to a recent analysis, while forests across Eastern Ontario grew considerably over the 20th century from a low of 10 per cent, today’s figure is still only 28 per cent. Forest fragmentation is increasing and habitat for some species is in decline.

With final results to be published soon, the analysis conducted by SNC and several partners covered 6,700 square-km. It involved a review of 5,200 aerial photographs.

“Loss of forest cover and habitat are just some of the issues to be discussed during the tour,” Brizard observed.

“It’s a day well spent for anyone with an interest in their natural surroundings.”

Ride for Dad arrives in Kemptville EMC Event - Participants in this summer’s Ride for Dad came through Kemptville on their way back to Ottawa. When the riders arrived at the North Grenville Municipal Centre breakfast was waiting for them. Martin and Aurel Adam were among the first to arrive. They are from St. Albert. Despite the threat of thunderstorms and rain organizers were thrilled with the event. There were 1,600 riders who raised $375,000 for local prostate cancer research and awareness.

Revitalization plan under way EMC News - The Municipality of North Grenville has recently begun work on a Revitalization Plan for the RideauSanders triangle in downtown Kemptville. The plan will lay out a vision for the future and begin the process of identifying opportunities to develop the area into a vibrant neighbourhood and key connector of the County Rd. 43 Commercial Corridor to the North and Old Town Kemptville to the South.

The Rideau-Sanders triangle is a strategic location which lends itself to many exciting op-

portunities for future growth.

Comprehensive community consultation will be a critical part of the planning process in order to ensure that the recommendations brought forth are in harmony with the needs and values of our residents and business owners alike. Community members will be given the opportunity to engage in the consultation process by participating in public walking tours and attending town hall meetings throughout the summer months. More information about these opportunities will be shared soon.

“The time is right to focus efforts on this key growth area” says Teri Devine, Economic Development Coordinator.

“With change, comes opportunity and this area has incredible potential for both residential and commercial investment attraction if we work together to form a shared vision.”

For more information on this project and how you can get involved, please contact Forbes Symon, Director of Planning & Development, at 613-258-9569 ext. 125 or fsymon@northgrenville.on.ca.

Opening month has Ladies League of Rideau Glen in full swing

By CECILE FORTIER

EMC Sports - In spite of some extremely hot days at the beginning of our season, lady golfers were out in great numbers.

Then cooler weather prevailed until the last few days of May. The first tournament of the season was the "de Havelin".

Twenty-two players participated in this tournament where pairs are partnered by lowest to highest handicap.

It gives everyone a chance to be a winner. Whether you laugh or cry at the outcome, the challenge is always there.

Some finish in frustration while others outshine their opponents.

The winners were: 1st place: Jean Pot-

vin & Mary Shore.

2nd place: a tie between 3 pairs. Marjorie Graham & Nicole Deslauriers outplayed the others on the back 9, so won 2nd place. Congratulations Ladies!

On a regular Tuesday game, cloudy weather gave way to thunderstorms and deluge rain.

Play was stopped and out of nowhere appeared not one but two "Sir Galahads", picking up the ladies off the course and driving them back to the clubhouse. Thank you Sir Ron Tracy and Sir Eddie Watt for your thoughtfulness and gallantry.

It was greatly appreciated by those who accepted your offers.

The Thursday morning 18 holes league has had a late start again because

of inclement weather. But at last the ladies got their second start of the month in one extreme to another. Twelve ladies braved the intense heat and humidity to play at their favorite sport. Whether they be in their late "golden years" or younger, all enjoy their game and there is always that one good shot that keeps bringing you back to play. At the end of the month game and dinner/meeting, more ladies then ever participated.

The game that Nicole and Dorothy chose was "Bingo, Bango, Bungo".

The game entailed 1 point for the first on the green, 1 point for the closest to the pin and 1 point for the first to putt into the hole. The winners: 1st place: Marg Coffell at 19 pts out of 27; 2nd place went to

Irene Barkhouse and Libby Price with 13 pts. It was a fun game enjoyed by all.

Mary Shore, the president, thanked our great chef Eddy Watt for his superb dinner. She also reminded the ladies to sign-up for the other remaining tournaments and the "Friendlies" coming up soon. On a more serious matter; Mary also announced the plaque for our dear friend, Fran Crawford was installed on the "Memory Bench". The ladies league has lost a very cherish member of "our golfing family". Fran was with the league for many years. Everyone enjoyed her friendship and her playful way of teasing. She would be on the course with her friend Diane, scurrying along the fairways to see how fast they could play. No-

body could keep-up with them. Fran's unconventional way of hitting the ball had amazed people, but it worked for her and she stood by her methods. Her odd stance and way of hitting brought her many winnings at different tournaments whether at Rideau Glen or other courses. She will be greatly missed and always remembered by all.

Also we offer our deepest sympathies to Helen MacKenzie who just lost her husband Bill. We do remember Bill being a very good golfer having played with him in the mix seniors league.

Already one month gone in our short season. Let us enjoy the rest and not complain too much if the weather does not cooperate with our play.

MP announces call for proposals for projects led and inspired by seniors EMC News - Every day, in thousands of communities across the country, Canadian seniors are making a difference, and initiatives such as the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) are helping them do so, says Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville.

On May 22, Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors), launched the 2013-2014 NHSP call for proposals for communitybased projects.

This is an excellent opportunity for organizations that promote the wellbeing of seniors to take action.

“I encourage them to submit their applications before July 5, 2013,” Brown noted.

Organizations may receive up to $25,000 in grant funding per year on projects that focus on one or more of the following objectives: volunteering, mentoring, expanding awareness of elder abuse, social participation and capital assistance.

There are many organizations in

Canada that are dedicated to helping seniors maintain a high quality of life and continue to be active, participating members of their communities.

“This year alone, our government is providing more than $33 million to support 1,750 community-based projects for seniors across the country. Since its

beginning, the NHSP has funded more than 12,200 projects in hundreds of communities across Canada,” Brown adds.

Organizations can receive funding towards projects that empower seniors to share their diverse skills, knowledge and experiences with others by volunteering

EMC Sports – The Central Canada Hockey League has expanded its season-opening Showcase weekend for the coming season.

Now billed as the ‘September Super Showcase’, the event will take place over the Labour Day weekend at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata and stretch across four days – Friday, Aug. 30 through Monday, Sept. 2.

Also, each team in the league will now play three games instead of two over that stretch. A total of 18 exciting games open the Central League’s 53rd season.

As the original league showcase hosts, the CCHL has maintained innovative concepts to having league games played in a common venue as a means to attract scouts, recruiters, fans and families to a season opening kick-off.

To avoid conflicts with other league partners in Canada, and to enhance an already excellent event, the CCHL has adopted an expanded showcase.

As the longest running Junior A league in the country, and as a leader in player development and promotion, the CCHL announces the following schedule of games:

The year 1812 will be ‘blown up’ at Fort Wellington this weekend EMC News – Parks Canada is excited to host 1812 On Tour, a travelling experience that brings to life the stories of a war that helped define Canada as a nation, at Fort Wellington National Historic Site on Saturday and Sunday, June 8 and 9.

Get to know some of the heroes of the war, take your photo in front of huge inflatable 1812 numbers, and learn about the most important landscapes, forts and buildings that make up the more than 20 Parks Canada War of 1812 national historic sites in Central

and Eastern Canada.

The weekend will feature two action packed days of activities that reflect the local importance and impact of the conflict.

The fort’s bicentennial 1812 troop, the Glengarry Light Infantry will be encamped at the fort, cooking over open fires, and recreating and interpreting the War of 1812 era for visitors of all ages.

The familiar green coats of the fort’s traditional Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment will also be onsite performing musket and rifle demonstrations throughout the

weekend.

The 1812 era gunboat, the real focal point of the fort’s new visitor centre, links the significance of the river to the action on the ground. As an important cargo transfer point, Fort Wellington played a critical role in defending British supply lines that used the St. Lawrence River to move military wares from England into Lake Ontario.

Come out and join the fun. Activities for the whole family start at 10 a.m. and go until 5 p.m.

“The war of 1812 marks a sig-

nificant period in Canadian history. At Fort Wellington, visitors will experience first-hand, Canada's rich history brought to life,” said Kim St. Claire, Superintendent, Parks Canada Georgian Bay and Ontario East Field Unit.

“Bring family members, or friends, and discover experiences that inspire Canadians and international visitors alike.”

For more information on this or other special events, please contact at Fort Wellington at 613925-2896 or email ont-wellington@pc.gc.ca.

Studio Theatre’s ‘Proof’ full of surprising twists and revelations

By JOAN SONNENBURG

EMC Entertainment – Family. One way or another, we have one. It may be next room, next door, or next province.

We may get along, we may bicker, we may be estranged from them. Or they may have passed on. But we all have, or have had, family at one point in our lives.

Studio Theatre’s final production of the season, ‘Proof’ by David Auburn is a story about a family in a situation that is becoming increasingly common: a child becoming the caregiver of an aging parent. Says director Jeremy Dutton, “More and more there are families who are going through this. Especially as money goes down for those in charge of ill people. As the population ages, well sorry folks we need more care especially if we’re sick.”

Catherine is the daughter of a brilliant mathematician who has lapsed into insanity. She has given up a promising career to care for her ailing father, and now she fears that she may be developing the same affliction. Claire, her sister, who arrives to help out, only makes the situation worse by taking over and making Catherine feel even more inadequate. To further add to the problem, she suspects Hal, a young student who was working with her father, of stealing a long-sought after mathematical formula from her father’s papers. The story is filled with surprising twists and revelations as we learn more about Catherine and her family.

‘Proof’ features four of the areas most accomplished actors. The role of Catherine is played by Mary Ann Majoury who appeared as the young impressionable nun in ‘Doubt: A Parable’. Catharine Coleman of Station Theatre in Smiths Falls is her sister Claire.

Hal, the young math student is played by Lucas Tennant, a young man who is well-known to Studio Theatre regulars. Talented and versatile, Tennant has appeared in a multitude of differing roles from a 17-year-old to a

Perth’s Studio Theatre is preparing for their final production of the rehearse a confrontation scene. ‘Proof’ opens June 6 and continues season, an adaptation of David Auburn’s ‘Proof.’ Above, from left: cast June 7, 8, 14, 15, at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. June 9 and members Lucas Tennant, Mary Ann Majoury and Catherine Coleman 16 at the theatre. husband and father from the Saskatchewan prairie. The challenging role of the father, Robert, is played by another Studio Theatre regular, Alfred Von Mirbach.

The plot is complex and intriguing, but above all, it speaks to all of us who deal with family issues. As Tennant so succinctly puts it “It is a brilliant story about families and relationships, about trying to care for people who

have been taking care of you. It’s role reversal. You get trapped, you get lost in taking care of someone and you lose sight of yourself.”

While ‘Proof’ is a story about families and relationships, it does contain mature subject matter and some coarse language. Audience discretion is advised.

‘Proof’ opens June 6 and continues June 7, 8, 14, 15, at 8 p.m. with Sunday

matinees at 2 p.m. June 9 and 16. Tickets are $20 in advance or $22 at the door. Advance tickets (cash only) are available at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E. in Perth.. Credit card purchases can be made at Tickets Please 39 Foster St. in Perth (613-485-6434). There are also $10 student tickets available at the door on presentation of I.D. If you’re considering an anniversary or birthday gift, why not give the

gift of entertainment. Gift certificates are available for all performances, so watch for our exciting, upcoming season soon to be announced.

Studio Theatre is located at 63 Gore St. E in Perth, overlooking the Tay Basin. For further information, visit www.studiotheatre.com or call 613267-7469.

The minister also stated that 2013 was designated the International Year of Water Cooperation, and cited some of the work the government has undertaken in this regard.

“We are working with our international partners, such as the United States in the Great Lakes, and with our provincial and territorial counterparts, to improve and protect our important water resources,” Kent said. “Our government has worked with the provinces and territories to bring about Canada’s first national standards for wastewater treatment.”

Kent stated that such focus and cooperation was also key to addressing other environmental issues and challenges.

“Canadians should take this opportunity to celebrate our rich and diversified environment, to reflect on our numerous achievements and to think and prepare for future challenges,” he said.

“Collectively, we must never lose sight of the importance of a healthy environment in which to live, grow and raise our families.”

Canada’s Minister of the Environment, the Honourable Peter Kent, noted that the week was a time to reflect on our collective environmental achievements and stewardship, for all Canadians today and tomorrow to enjoy.

“Canadian Environment Week is not only a great opportunity to celebrate our achievements in protecting our natural environment, but it is also an excellent opportunity to further inspire all Canadians to work together to do even more to preserve, protect and restore our land, our air, and our water,” he said.

EMC News – Equator Coffee Roastery and Café of Almonte held a fundraising event in late April at their café where participants were encouraged to bake with beans – coffee beans, that is. They were raising money for a trip to Nicaragua in May where they will build a school for their coffee producers’ children. Above, this lemonade stand was a popular pit stop as Samantha Holden, 12, serves up the cool beverage.

Kent pointed to some of the government’s important environmental achievements: • The launching of the joint-monitoring plan on the oil sands; • More stringent regulations in a variety of areas, to combat climate change through a sector by sector approach and fulfill our commitment of reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent below 2005 levels by 2020; • The cooperation with provincial and territorial counterparts, to improve air quality for all Canadians; • On the international stage, the government’s investment of $1.2 billion towards climate change fast-start financing to further help developing economies reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, which is a global challenge; • Canada’s collaboration with a variety of business and international partners to encourage innovative environmental technologies and clean energy; • The advancements made for the protection of wildlife, water and land in Canada—protected areas in Canada now account for an area that is nearly the size of Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland combined.

Stellar Canadian casts at upcoming Classic Theatre Festival season following her memorable turn as Gittel Mosca in last season’s ‘Two for the Seesaw’. Gordon’s comic chops will be on full display as she fends off the attentions of Ottawa’s Richard Gélinas, a celebrated veteran of the National Capital theatre scene (‘The 39 Steps’, ‘Stones in His Pockets’, ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’, ‘Eddie May Mysteries’), and Trevor Pease, who divides his time between TV and film (‘Nikita’, ‘Cybergeddon’) and stage (Upper Canada Repertory Company, Theatre New Brunswick, among others).

“Simon is known for his sparkling dialogue, hilarious plots and lovable characters. ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ reflects the theme you see in a lot of his plays of opposites who attract but who also have to work through their differences to get along, just like the sloppy/neat freak roles in ‘The Odd Couple’ and the snarky vaudeville veterans in ‘The Sunshine Boys’,” says Smith.

‘The Marriage-Go-Round’ (Aug. 9 to Sept. 1) caused some stir on Broadway as it featured a happily married, brilliant academic couple (one of whom is the Dean of Women) whose lives are turned upside down by a Swedish blonde bombshell who wants the husband to father her baby so that the child inherits both beauty and brains. The couple is played by Scott Clarkson (who has previously performed critically acclaimed star turns in the festival’s productions of ‘The Fourposter’ and ‘Two for the Seesaw’)

Tempting the professor will be newcomer Elisabeth Lagerlöf, a graduate of the legendary New York City American Musical and Dramatic Academy who is equally at home on stage (Theatre New Brunswick, Theatre Caravel) and film (‘Prey’, ‘Beware the Pickpocket’, and the XBOX web series).

EMC Entertainment – From July 12 to Sept. 1, the fourth season of professional summer theatre in Perth, courtesy of the Classic Theatre Festival, features a variety of returning talent along with new faces who have graced stages across the country, in addition to considerable film, television and radio work.

Early bird tickets are on sale until June 8, guaranteeing discounted tickets with the option of choosing dates later.

Director Laurel Smith, who will helm the comedic productions of Neil Simon’s ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ and Leslie Stevens’ ‘The Marriage-Go-Round’, is pleased with the star power she has assembled this summer to work alongside Ottawa set and lighting designer David Magladry, Mississippi Mills costume designer Renate Seiler, and local production manager Nolan Popplewell.

‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ (July 12 to Aug. 4) could have been drawn from today’s headlines about the red state/blue state divide that currently animates much of the U.S. political culture. Simon, looking at a similarly polarized America in 1966, created the story of two free-thinking liberal magazine writers who fall for a conservative southern belle and Olympic swimmer who’s about to marry a U.S. Marine.

The “girl,” in this instance, is played by Kate Gordon, a regular at Upper Canada Playhouse who returns to the festival for a second

New law would prohibit Quebec workers on Ontario construction sites

played here by Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Hare, with a broad range of theatre credits, as well as appearing in over 40 films and TV shows, including â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The West Wingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;RFKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Queer as Folkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hollywoodlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wind at My Backâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Daydream Believers: The Monkeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lonesome Doveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The festival takes place at a new venue this year, the lov-

ingly restored Full Circle Theatre at 26 Craig St. in Perth. In addition to a new Cottagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flex Pass and season pass, the Festival also features a series of getaway packages (www. classictheatre.ca/packages) that offer prospective visitors both daytrip and overnight stays.

The festival is also collaborating with the Perth Museum on a new exhibit entitled Now and Then: Found Treasures of Canadian Theatre History,

focusing on the development of modern Canadian theatre, with still photos, costume designs, and paintings by legendary actor Gordon Pinsent among the many archival gems that will be on display June 20 to Oct. 10.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bill likely unite all three parties at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park even if critics say it will divide Canadians.

Jack MacLaren says he is getting plenty of support all around for his private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill to prevent Quebec construction companies from bidding on Ontario contracts. The PC MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills introduced the Fairness is a Two-Way Street Act in the legislature on May 29. It made it through the first reading. Although private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills rarely become law, he is confident this one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; similar to one passed when Mike Harris was premier in 1999, but killed by the Liberals in 2006 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get support from all three parties,â&#x20AC;? MacLaren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They realize it is not fair.â&#x20AC;?

If the bill makes it past third reading, construction projects

on the Ontario side will be off limits to Quebecers. While there is no formal ban of Ontario contractors on the Quebec side, MacLaren said he hears regularly from locals who find the red tape and other hurdles make it next to impossible to win Quebec contracts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of tit for tat,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are protecting our rights and Ontario jobs.â&#x20AC;?

Critics say it is unconservative to promote what amounts to protectionism. MacLaren appears willing to take the heat to force Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. He said if they make it easier for Ontario contractors, he is willing to do the same for Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Ottawa is lucrative for Quebec contractors with hospitals, businesses and more needing work done from time to time, and especially the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.1 million light-rail project. If the law comes into effect, companies that break it could face a fine up to $25,000 a day; workers could be on the hook for

$2,000 per day.

Among those that would have to change its ways is the City of Ottawa. Last year it hired 30 Quebecers to remove snow instead of Ontario truck drivers.

Although the Parti Quebecois governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inclination is toward protectionism, the province is reeling from a corruption scandal involving construction companies and may move toward cleaning up the rules in the future.

Flowers that are pretty enough to eat

By DALE ODORIZZI Lanark County Master Gardeners

Master Gardeners has bright orange or yellow petals and has been used for centuries to give a beautiful to give a beautiful saffron-like golden colour without saffron exorbitant cost in everything from cakes to casseroles. Use the petals only, not the whole flower.

• Daylilies are completely edible but the flowers are the prettiest. Each has a unique flavour, sweet or savory, raw or cooked or fresh snacks right off the plant. Remove the pistils and flower base for best taste.

• Lavender combines well with other herbs. Use sparingly as it has a powerful fragrance. Sprinkle a few flowers on ice cream.

• Rose petals taste as good as they smell. They are best used in desserts and confections such as rose petal jam.

Use only unsprayed roses.

Try vegetable and herb flowers which have the same taste as the more familiar part of the plant, only milder. Try squash or zucchini flowers in soups or stir fries or deep

fried in batter or sprinkle a few bright flowers of scarlet runner beans on a casserole.

Flowers of chives, onions, garlic and leaks are very decorative so add a few to salads or stir fries.

Herbs are a great source of edible flowers. Pale blue rosemary or pink or purple thyme add visual interest as well as flavour. Borage is grown for its pretty sky-blue flowers and has a mild cucumber-like taste.

Never eat these flowers.

While some flowers are edible, others are extremely toxic. The iron clad rule for eating mushrooms applies here too – unless you are 100 per cent sure of the flower’s identity and are sure it is safe to eat, do not eat.

The following are some commonly grown flowers that must never be eaten: Buttercups (Ranunculus), Castor Beans, Crocus, Daffodil, Delphinium, Foxglove, Hydrangea, Lily of the Valley, Monkshood, Morning Glory, Petunia and Sweet Pea.

EMC Lifestyle – We often think vegetables are for eating and flowers are for looking at. You can combine the two to add flair to your food with flowers.

Make sure that your flowers are edible and that they have not been sprayed with chemicals, making homegrown, unsprayed flowers or those grown by organic growers the best.

Edible flowers should only be used in moderation to add zest or as a beautiful garnish.

Some of the best flowers to eat are: • Nasturtiums are ideal to brighten a tossed salad. They have a watercress-like taste.

The leaves are edible with a peppery flavour and the large round seeds have been used as a substitute for capers.

• Violets are small in size and sweet in flavour, making them best suited for desserts.

Crystallize them for fancy cake decorations or cut them up and sprinkle on ice cream or freeze them in ice cubes to flavour cool drinks.

• Pansies are extremely colourful and versatile. Use them whole or cut up in desserts, salads or side dishes.

• Pot Marigold (Calendula)

1958 Ford custom 4-door loses gas tank on way to dance those were the days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I forgot to mention that when the trunk floor let go, it took not only the gas tank but also the spare tire, bumper jack, and lug wrench. We had to leave those in the bushes because there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anywhere we could put them with five guys going to the dance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trunk floor was full of holes when I bought the Ford. At that time (1966), we still had a lot of unpaved gravel roads so when driving the old Ford (of course right at the speed limit), the dust would enter through the holes in the floor and completely fill the inside of the car.

Before leaving to go out at night, I would go to a nearby stream and soak a blanket with water, then spread it out over the trunk floor.

This helped greatly with keeping the dust out but I guess it also added to the demise of the floor.â&#x20AC;?

It was a rust bucket and had a 223 cubic inch six cylinder that was knocking its brains out, but I loved the beautiful new set of green and white vinyl seat covers it had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One night, me and a few of my buddies were going to a local dance and the whole trunk floor fell out, complete with gas tank.

We put a 5-gallon pail on the back seat and relieved my dad of about 10 feet of his acetylene hose, which we ran from the pail to the fuel line.

Only problem, after about 10 minutes, the gas would soften the hose and it would collapse, causing the old Ford to starve for fuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would yell out to one of my buddies in the back seat to pull the hose from the can and blow in it as hard as they could.

That would open the hose long enough to give us another 10 minutes of fuel. However, it got us to the dance and back. Like I said,

Canadians can cancel wireless contracts after two years under new CRTC wireless code EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On June 3, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued a wireless code that will make it easier for Canadians to understand their contracts and sets out their basic rights.

The code will apply to new contracts for cellphones and other personal mobile devices starting on Dec. 2, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day, Canadians rely on wireless devices while in their homes, at their jobs, at school or travelling abroad,â&#x20AC;? said Jean-Pierre Blais, chairman of the CRTC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years.â&#x20AC;?

The wireless code addresses the main frustrations that Canadians shared with the CRTC, which included the length of wireless contracts, cancellation fees, roaming charges and other indus-

try practices. Among other things, individual and small business consumers will be able to: â&#x20AC;˘ Terminate their wireless contracts after two years without cancellation fees, even if they have signed on for a longer term. â&#x20AC;˘ Cap extra data charges at $50/month and international data roaming charges at $100/ month to prevent bill shock. â&#x20AC;˘ Have their cellphones unlocked after 90 days, or immediately if they paid for the device in full. â&#x20AC;˘ Return their cellphones, within 15 days and specific usage limits, if they are unhappy with their service. â&#x20AC;˘ Accept or decline changes to the key terms of a fixedterm contract (i.e., two-year). â&#x20AC;˘ Receive a contract that is easy to read and understand.

The wireless code will apply to all service providers in Canada. In particular, the code will apply in full to

postpaid services (where customers pay a monthly bill after using their services), and where applicable to pre-paid wireless services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wireless code is a

tool that will empower consumers and help them make informed choices about the service options that best meet their needs. To make the most of this tool, consumers

also have a responsibility to educate themselves,â&#x20AC;? Blais added.

The participation of a large number of consumers and the collaboration of the wireless

industry will ensure the wireless codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful implementation.

land trust is the perfect vehicle to enable this type of protection. The MMLTC is a private, non-profit charitable organization that works to preserve land with significant ecological value. Its catchment area includes the entire Mississippi River watershed, north to the Madawaska River. Since its inception in 2003, the conservancy has taken under its protection 1550 acres of land including the spectacular Blueberry Mountain, one of the Seven Wonders of Lanark County.

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Join us on Sunday, June 16, to visit the latest wilderness acquisition of the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC). The beautiful High Lonesome Nature Reserve, with its network of trails that wind by creeks and beaver ponds, through leafy glades, beneath tall white pines and across wild meadows replete with butterflies is a marvelous example of what can happen when community members support their local land trust. This peaceful oasis of tranquility is a welcome getaway from the stress of daily routines. What a deposit we make in the memory bank of our children when they experience such natural beauty!

Young and old alike are invited to join naturalist trail guides to explore this enchanting property in the Pakenham Hills. Take this opportunity to experience a diversity of wildlife habitats and learn about the ecology of a Provincially Significant Wetland complex.

A variety of trail length options will be available from a Rabbitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Romp, to the more relaxed Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hill Saunter, a Curious Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Circuit, and a Pond Prowl through the evergreen borderlands.

The 200-acre High Lonesome Nature Reserve was donated to the conservancy by the family of the late Barry Spicer whose heartfelt wish was to see this beautiful area fully restored to its natural state and protected for all time. A

Desjardins is rushing to insure their clients that the information they collect in this voluntary program will not be given to third-party groups but they won’t be able to deny access provided through legal search warrants or court seizure orders.

Most vehicles today have the computer hardware and software to collect and store such data and much more built into engine, transmission, and body controllers and even some have a factory-installed dedicated flight recorder module.

A recent high-profile collision that resulted in the death of an area driver saw some of this evidence presented in criminal court. Experience in the U.S. is showing that the carrot of lower insurance premiums is drawing a lot of customers and Desjardins expects the same on this side of the border.

Like with anything regarding insurance, you need to understand risks and your comfort or discomfort with them. If you don’t mind giving up some privacy in exchange for cash and you feel your lifestyle doesn’t represent the type police or legal types would be interested in, then this may be for you. If you have several family members on your policy and you have concerns about their driving habits, this would be a convenient way of monitoring their

EMC Lifestyle - The Ontario government’s recent pledge to reduce auto insurance premiums by 15 per cent has more than a few changes in store for drivers.

The NDP have recently charged insurance companies of unnecessarily raising their rates in preparation for the 15 per cent reduction regulation that’s mandated by the most recent provincial budget. Now, either by coincidence or through strategic timing (you guess which) one insurance firm is announcing an Ontario roll-out of their voluntary driver self-monitoring program to provide some substantial discounts to those hit by premium sticker-shock (that’s just about all of us).

This monitoring, which has been established in the Europe and the U.S. for a few years now, is currently in use in Quebec and under consideration in Alberta. It will be offered in Ontario

by Desjardins Insurance (look for more companies to follow). It involves the use of a vehicle data recorder that is plugged into the auto’s onboard computer diagnostic port (usually found under the left side of the dash).

On a regular basis, the insured driver is required to upload the info stored on the recorder to his/her insurance company via a cabled connection to a home PC or wirelessly through a smart phone. The company will review such data as maximum speed, aggressive acceleration or braking, and distance travelled for starters.

The Desjardins system will also have the capability of tracking and recording destinations and routes taken through GPS with date-stamping. Good driving behaviour can earn you lower premiums (the maximum figure of 25 per cent has been touted by Desjardins).

Users will have access to a secure website to bring up a dashboard display of their driving records which, according to Desjardins, will allow them to adjust their driving habits if they

CDSBEO students tell of life-changing March Break mission trip to Guatemala capital, and enjoyed a group dinner at a local restaurant. This special evening was an opportunity to reflect upon and discuss the experiences they encountered throughout their time in Guatemala.

The trip provided students with the opportunity to make a difference in a global community, and many commented on how they now feel compelled to contribute more locally, in their own communities. Students also noted how they have come to realize the importance of family, as well as how they now have a better understanding of poverty.

St. Michael Catholic High School (CHS) teacher, Mary-Kate Bridson, who travelled with the students, remarked, “This trip is just so worthwhile and unique. The students were able to immerse themselves in the NPH family. We saw the sadness, but we also saw the possibility for hope.”

The students presented the board with a hand-painted card, as well as a purple woven cloth, in recognition of their support of the mission. The cloth, which will be used as an altar cloth in the Advent and Lenten seasons, was purchased in a women’s cooperative in Guatemala, and has been blessed by board chaplain, Father John Whyte.

Catholic Education Week Throughout Catholic Education Week, CDSBEO schools shone a great light on the ways in which the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations are being met throughout the system.

The week began by highlighting

that students and staff are discerning believers formed in the Catholic faith, through the celebration of the annual Catholic Education Week Mass, presided by Archbishop Brendan O’Brien. Across the system, school communities also gave witness to this expectation through school masses, living rosary celebrations, and bible activities.

Superintendent of School Effectiveness, Marg Shea-Lawrence, gave an overview of the week’s events, which was followed by a video slideshow presentation. In addition to various religious celebrations, students also participated in social justice events such as the poverty march in Brockville, a Russell community barbecue fundraiser for Lesotho, and fundraising for local food banks, among other causes.

These actions exemplify how CDSBEO students understand the call to be responsible citizens who give witness to Catholic social teaching.

Other activities such as a Mother’s Day tea and special parent evenings remind students that they are called to be caring family members.

Interim financial report presented Administration presented an interim financial report to the board of trustees covering the period Sept. 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. The interim report includes a financial section along with reporting on two nonfinancial indicators, enrolment and staffing. The report also includes comparative figures for the same

reporting period last year.

The financial summary presented indicated that the board is currently spending within the 2012-13 revised budget, with only a slight savings indicated to March 31, 2013.

The savings to March 31 are mainly

due to timing differences in the recording of expenditures and are not expected to result in a significant surplus for the 2012-13 year. Enrolment and staffing comparisons were also presented, and are in line with the estimates submitted in December 2012.

EMC News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s May 21 board of trustees meeting at the board office in Kemptville.

The CDSBEO Board of Trustees had the privilege of hearing testimonials from Catholic secondary students who had the opportunity to participate in the Guatemala Mission Trip over March break. Clearly moved by their lifechanging, profound experiences, the group gave an emotional and heartfelt account of their time in Guatemala, and how they were particularly moved by the children at the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos (NPH) Orphanage.

Forty students, along with ten supervisors, from seven secondary schools, participated in the experience.

Upon their arrival, the group travelled immediately to the NPH Orphanage in San Andres, approximately one hour from Guatemala City. Working at the orphanage is truly the core of the Guatemala Mission Trip experience.

Here, the group stayed for six days, assisting with construction projects, gardening, helping in the kitchen, and working at Castillo Magico, a home for orphans with special needs. After-work activities at the orphanage included Spanish lessons, dancing, a visit to the nearby village of Parramos, and lots of interaction with the children.

Participants then left the orphanage and visited the lakeside resort town of Panajachel, had a guided tour of a Mayan village and visited a local market. On day ten, participants had a guided tour of Antigua, the old colonial
