Pair of wins gives Canadians 2-0 quarterfinal series lead over Bears By JEFF MAGUIRE
EMC Sports – Carleton Place Canadians overcame a slow start in Smiths Falls Sunday afternoon (March 17) firing three second period goals on the way to a 4-1 victory over the host Bears. The triumph gave Carleton Place a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven, Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) quarterfinal series. Canadians, the Robinson Division champions and second place finishers overall in the Tier I Junior A league this season, won the opener by the identical score on home ice Friday. Games 3 and 4 were played Tuesday and Wednesday with a fifth game scheduled for tomorrow (Friday) in Carleton Place at 7:45 p.m. Playing in front of more
than 950 fans at Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre, Carleton Place came out flat in the first period Sunday. Bears outshot the visitors 13-7 in the opening frame. Thanks to some strong defensive play and solid goaltending by Brandon O’Neill, Canadians were able to get to the first intermission in a scoreless tie. They looked like a different team in the second period! Canadians outshot Bears 10-8 and outscored them 3-1. Right winger Luke Kasteel connected from the high slot early in the middle frame. Bears’ forward Michael Buonincontri tied it on a bang-bang play three minutes, 13 seconds later. At the 8:11 mark Carleton Place took a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Scoring leader Alex Globke triggered the go-ahead
marker while Bears’ forward Karson McCartney was serving a tripping penalty. The back breaker for the home team came just past the midway mark of the second period. Centre Evan Peterson won a face-off to the right of Smiths Falls’ goalie Jimmy Howe. He unleashed a quick shot which beat Howe cleanly. That goal prompted a loud cheer from the large Carleton Place fan contingent on hand! Already up by two goals early in the third, the visitors put the game to bed when light scoring forward Jackson Howe triggered his first post season goal at the 2:23 mark. Canadians played a strong defensive game, tying the Bears up virtually every time they skated into the Carleton Place zone. See CANADIANS page A/CP5
EMC News – New programs are on the way at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM) thanks to a provincial grant. The Cultural Strategic Investment Fund grant for $39,016 from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport will be split equally between the MVTM and Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum in Carp, as the two museums applied for the grant together in the fall of 2012. They officially signed the contract with the government just last week and Michael Rikley-Lancaster, executive director at the MVTM, is truly excited for the funding. “We are two national historic sites, we each have our strengths and weaknesses but together we can make each other stronger,” said RikleyLancaster. “For us we are excited because it is falling in line with re-developing our programming with a focus on more youth development.” Both the MVTM and the Diefenbunker have industrial collections, historic machinery and the unique facilities that will provide special learning for students interested in science. “Youth engagement is so important to us at the Diefenbunker,” stated Henriette Riegel, executive director of the Diefenbunker in a release on the funding. “Our facility is a unique piece of engineering and operated as a state of the art communications centre throughout the Cold War. To be able to engage young people’s interests in science and engineering is such an inspiring way to use our spaces. Given the current underrepresentation of women in technical and scientific fields, it is a great way for girls in particular to develop a life-long interest in science, technology,

engineering and math.” The grant allows both museums to develop innovative science and technologybased programming for children and youth. “I would like to create a majority of hands on and interactive learning activities,” said Rikley-Lancaster. “I have lots of ideas but nothing is firmed up yet.” Rikley-Lancaster sees similarities in both museums as they are both based on different technologies and the new programs will focus on those individual strengths. “We, as a woollen mill, used water power,” explained Rikley-Lancaster. “We are going to research that and develop into programs for how it was used then and now.” Other technologies they will be researching from the industrial era include sheep shearing, the weaving process and the dying of the wool to name a few. “I find the dying of the wool really exciting because it uses chemistry, which is a different science base, and uses the colour wheel. The sky really is the limit for the programs we can create,” said Rikley-Lancaster. They are currently in the initial phase of research to create these programs and will be assisted by two parttime positions funded by the grant. One person is split between the Diefenbunker and the MVTM, the other will be part-time at MVTM and a third part-time employee will work strictly at the Diefenbunker. “Each is working on developing programs and working with curriculums,” said Rikley-Lancaster. “The programs will be complete and we hope to implement them in 2014.” There will be many variations of the programs such as birthday parties, March Break, summer camp, PD days, etc.

EMC News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) board meeting held March 5 at the board office in Kemptville. The Student Success Program supports meaningful graduation outcome based on the strengths, interests and learning needs of all students. CDSBEO schools provide students with support, expanded learning opportunities, and flexibility to individualize their secondary school program and post-secondary destinations. The Specialist High Skills Major Program (SHSM) is a specialized ministry approved program that allows students in grades 11 and 12 to connect their learning with a specific economic sector, while meeting graduation requirements. Superintendent of School Effectiveness, Mark Musca, presented the benefits of the SHSM program to the board, as well as some news on expansion of the program for the upcoming year. “The SHSM program enhances the transition from secondary school to apprenticeship training, college, university and the workplace,� Musca reported. “The first programs at CDSBEO schools commenced in 2007-2008 at St. Michael CHS, Notre Dame CHS, and St. Francis Xavier CHS.� This year, the board offers 17 programs in all ten secondary schools. In the current 2012-2013 school year, 321 students are participating in a SHSM. The program is set to expand next year with the addition of new programs at St. Luke CHS and St. Matthew CSS, which will both gain a Hospitality and Tourism SHSM, pending ministry approval. Students enrolled in the SHSM component have the opportunity to customize their secondary school education to suit their interests and talents. Learners develop specialized knowledge and skills, earn credits that post-secondary educational institutions and specific sector partners recognize, and gain sectorrecognized certification and careerrelevant training. In addition, the program allows students to identify, explore and refine career goals to make informed decisions about their future. The board is excited that these opportunities are available to our students, as the program has proven its value in guiding students to successfully develop a clear path for their desired career outcome. Progressive use of technology enhances learning Students at St. Andrew’s Catholic School, in St. Andrews West, are reaping the educational rewards of some great classroom learning experiences, via some forward-thinking use of technology. Teachers at the school have progressively embraced technological tools, creatively deploying some exceptional apps to help boost student engagement, and facilitate all types of learners. School principal Marlene Picard, along with a team of teachers from the school, presented an overview
of some of the technology currently used in the classroom, and how it has helped to enhance learning, improve student behaviour, and engage students on a new and innovative level. Grade 7/8 teacher Sean Tierney, is helping to inspire his students through some friendly competition with another CDSBEO school. Using the app Chicktionary, a popular literacy building activity whereby students are provided six letters and three minutes to arrange and re-arrange the letters, students construct as many four, five, and six-letter words as possible. “Student motivation for this activity is very high, and students often request a three-minute challenge at the end of a literacy lesson,� Tierney explained. Thanks to connections made with another school, the class posts high scores on the class website as a challenge for students from Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School in Lanark. Gregory Light, the MEP classroom teacher, has found benefits in using a free, online program called Class Dojo, which helps teachers improve classroom management quickly and easily. Based on a points system that utilizes personalized graphics to individualize each student, the program has proven to be a fun and inspirational tool through which students are encouraged to complete assignments or remain on task. “In my experience using the program over the past few months, I have noticed that it encourages positive behaviour, while helping to limit disruptive or negative behaviour,� added Light. In addition to various apps, the school has added Skype and Google Hangout as additional ways to expand the classroom learning experience to involve others in various parts of the world. The software has been used to connect internationally for professional development sessions during staff meetings, as well as to allow students to communicate with other students in countries such as Switzerland. The communication tools have been used to enrich learning through cultural comparisons, as students discuss similarities in traditions, such as how Christmas is celebrated. The experience has extended to the development of language and mathematics skills, as learners composed and asked high level thinking questions, and graphed their similarities and differences. In addition, mapping skills were incorporated, as students gained understanding of the geographic location of their new learning partners. This summary is just a sample of some of the strategies that are being employed by teachers at St. Andrew’s, which has pursued technology options to attain learning goals in a variety of subjects. Since media is ubiquitous, the school has adopted a philosophy to ensure that students become critical and reflective consumers of visual communications. As such, media literacy has become an integral part of the teaching strategy within every course. The group is continuously searching out and
testing new apps for enhanced student motivation and learning. Inquiry research project inspires learning process The Early Primary Collaborative Inquiry (EPCI) initiative is an annual research project implemented by the Ministry of Education, under the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat. The project aims to highlight evidence-informed teaching and learning practices that support young learners from junior kindergarten to grade 2. The inquiry provides support for teachers to “inquire� about their teaching and learning practice so that others may learn from their experience through a structured sharing process. Curriculum consultant Nancy Prest, and junior kindergarten teacher from Immaculate Conception Catholic School, Christina Lapierre, presented an overview of the EPCI to the board, which included an overview of the focus and strategies for this year’s inquiry. Since its beginnings in 2009, 17 elementary schools from across the board have participated, or are now participating in, the EPCI. In previous years, the EPCI planning team developed the inquiry research path based on student data analyzed at the board level. The research was also guided by the Board Improvement Plan. Schools invited to participate were those which identified similar areas of weakness as that which was targeted in the inquiry. These schools would pursue the inquiry in their classroom, and then join together to collaborate findings and share strategies. Based on quantitative data analysis, the focus of inquiry in past years had been on targeted instructional strategies which impact students’ ability to communicate higher level thinking and understanding. For this year, the inquiry has shifted to one based on qualitative data and student voice. Educators are creating their inquiries based on their own wonderings about their students, guided by the interests and curiosity of the children. Inquiry, in its simplest form, is natural curiosity. “When children are engaged in inquiry, they are wondering about, exploring and investigating the world around them in order to make sense of it. When educators allow their students to learn by pursuing their wondering about things, it is called student-led inquiry,� reported Prest. When educators themselves are engaged in inquiry, they are wondering and thinking about their impact on student learning, by observing, listening, and responding to their students. Teachers who are engaged in this sort of inquiry have a growth mind-set, and hope to build their own capacity as they respond to their students. Collaborative inquiry is inquiry that is enhanced by the knowledge building that happens when a community of learners inquire together. The team from Immaculate Conception Catholic School includes See CDSBEO page 4 THE EMC - 2 - Thursday, March 21, 2013

The Little Sisters of Hoboken welcome their newest members By PAT BLACK
EMC Entertainment – The convent has been all abuzz these past few months, welcoming their two new members: Sister Mary Luke (Caitlin Doyle) and Sister Mary Joseph (Cathy Hutton). The ladies have come from different areas of the Valley, Doyle from Balderson and Hutton from Munster. After much thought, they left their current positions to join what they think is a pretty busy and exciting convent. Doyle was a visual arts high school teacher. She may fit right into the Opportunity Room at Mount Saint Helen’s (we just won’t give her the details about that room just yet, give her a bit of time), and Hutton is a bank manager. Hopefully she can help the sisters with their prize money and invest it well, so we can get
a 60� big screen! Reverend Mother is beside herself with excitement. Not only does she have two young new members, one has teaching skills and God knows Robert Anne could use some direction but the financial background will surely help their prize money grow! And let’s not forget to mention apparently the ladies have some acting, singing and dancing experience as well. They joined the convent just in time to be part of this second show! Always nice to keep the Rev happy! (Ask Sister Bob about that.) Hutton performed many, many years ago when in high school where they performed ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ (that’s when she got the calling I’m sure). Doyle first did a lot of directing, but once
she set her feet on stage as part of ‘Guys and Dolls,’ ‘Anything Goes,’ and ‘La Cage Aux Folles’ with the Perth Theatre, she knew acting was for her, directing, she claims, was a lot harder! Both of the new sisters are enjoying rehearsals, although Doyle wishes she lived closer. They are loving how organized rehearsals are, how much fun they are and how many new friends they have made. The Little Sisters of Hoboken are very happy that they decided to leave their busy lives behind and join this crazy bunch of nuns. Now get out there and get your tickets and see
our newest members in action, along with the veterans of Mount Saint Helen’s. ‘Nunsense Two: The Second Coming’ will be presented by the Mississippi Mudds at the Carleton Place Town Hall April 25, 26, 27, May 2, 3, 4 at 8 p.m. with a matinee April 28 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available from the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce on Coleman St. Special price of $15 on opening night only. Call 613-2571976 for information or visit mississippimudds. ca. Pat Black is a member of the Mississippi Mudds publicity team.

The team has participated in a regional face-to-face session, held in Kingston, which hosted all eastern region board teams. Since then, additional web conferences with educators from across eastern Ontario have helped to further the professional discourse. Lapierre reported that deep discussion, sharing, and new learning has been a pivotal part of the experience for the team. “We saw a shift in the way
we think about our students and our own professional stances. Through this collaborative process we have learned that the discomfort that we were feeling as our thinking was pushed to new perspectives, was actually a sign of growth and new learning,� identified Lapierre. “We have continuing opportunities to collaboratively share conversations we have had with our students, observations of them as they learn, and samples of their work.

High school drama is “alive and well” at Full Circle Theatre next week EMC Entertainment – The Spring Thaw High School Drama Festival marks the return to live onstage action at the Full Circle Theatre on March 26 and 27. Three regional high schools will present two short productions each, three per evening, in a “pre-festival” to fine-tune their productions for the upcoming province-wide Sears Drama Festival. Perth & District Collegiate Institute will present ‘My Narrator’ by Norm Foster and ‘Roman Fever’ by Hugh Leonard; Perth’s St. John Catholic High School will stage ‘The Overcoat’ by Tim Kelly, based on a story by Russian author Nikolai Gogol, and ‘Anne-Arky’ by Lindsay Price; and St. Mary Catholic High School (Brockville)
will offer another Lindsay Price play, ‘Flaky Lips,’ and ‘Wake-Up Call’ by Stephen Gregg. One play from each school will be presented each night beginning at 7 p.m. Each production is between one-half hour and fifty minutes long. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults; available at the door only. The very next night, March 28, Full Circle Theatre welcomes back the great J.P. Cormier for what should be another sold-out concert. Touring this year with Sydney, Nova Scotia bassist Emily Dingwall, Cormier has been called “one of the most important guitarists of his generation.” His fiery fingerpicking and tremendous energy on stage still
deliver great entertainment after more than 30 years on tour. Tickets for J. P. Cormier at Full Circle Theatre are available at Shadowfax, Foster St. in Perth (www.shadowfax. on.ca or 613-267-6817). The big musical theatre news of the spring is BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) April presentation of ‘Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris.’ This engrossing “all-music” musical is a whirlwind tour of the music of Belgian composer Jacques Brel, whose songs influenced the shape of popular music for a generation. With many tunes you will know and many you may never have heard before, it’s a musical without characters or plot, but with
TB skin test often required for work/school EMC News – TB stands for Tuberculosis. It is an infectious disease that usually attacks the lungs. Although the incidence of TB is low in our area, it is important to prevent the spread of Tuberculosis and protect vulnerable people. As a way to protect vulnerable populations, a TB skin test may be required by employers, agencies, colleges and universities. Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through the air, when people with TB cough, laugh, sneeze, sing, or even talk. However, to be infected with TB, a person usually has to have repeated contact with someone who has TB disease. Signs
and symptoms of TB disease include: · Cough lasting three or more weeks · Fatigue · Night sweats · Loss of appetite · Fever · Weight loss · Positive TB skin test There is a difference between being infected with TB and having TB disease. Someone who is infected with TB has the TB germs, or bacteria, in their body. The body’s defenses are protecting them and they are not sick. Someone with TB disease is sick and can spread the disease to other people. A person with TB disease needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. World TB Day, March 24, is designed to raise awareness that tuberculosis today remains an
epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of several million people each year, mostly in developing countries. Testing for TB can be done at the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit and at many doctors’ offices. It will require two trips - one to have the test done and one to have the test read and interpreted two to three days later. For more information about TB, visit www.healthunit. org/infectious/tb/tb.htm or call 1-800-660-5853. For important public health updates, you can like our Facebook page.

drama, comedy and excitement galore. BarnDoor Productions has brought together a cast of five and a five-piece band to put together a new staging of the show for a new millenium. The original show, debuting in 1968 and running for four years and 1,800 performances, was very much a child of the sixties. BDP’s new staging brings new sounds and new ideas to it, showing that, while their composer may have passed away, his songs are very much alive and well. BDP’s strong cast and band, and the brilliant show itself, mean that ‘Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris’ will be the musical theatre event of the season. The show runs April 12 to
21. Tickets for Jacques Brel and details on it and other events at Full Circle Theatre are on BarnDoor’s website: www.barndoorproductions. ca. While you’re there, have a look at BarnDoor Productions’ 20132014 season, their 19th overall. Beginning with BDP’s 90th production, the series includes the two longest running Broadway plays of the 2000s, a crazy, sexy off-Broadway smash hit, a very special Christmas offering and one of the best (and naughtiest) classic comedies ever written. Subscription details (and audition dates) to be announced soon. Spring is about to spring and the Full Circle Theatre is springing with it!

Public does nothing to help teenage sexual assault victims By SARAH BINGHAM
EMC News – What would you do if you saw a teenage girl being sexually assaulted right in front of you? If you saw a grown man violating her; saw her hitting him and doing all that she could to fend him off? If you were one of the many people filling the crowded OC Transpo #95 bus at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 19, you would do absolutely nothing. Kaleigh Langdon,18, was riding the bus home after work when she was sexually assaulted by an unknown man on the bus. Not one person on the bus said or did anything to help her despite the fact she repeatedly hit him and swore loudly at him. She later reported the crime to the police who have since arrested Racil Hilan, 34, for two separate strings of sexual assaults on multiple victims on OC Transpo busses. Last summer, videos and pictures of a 16-year-old girl being tormented and raped by numerous offenders at a high school party were posted online. These videos show many people standing by watching, filming the atrocity or simply turning away and allowing the horrific crime to continue. Not a single call to 911 was placed and no witness reported the vicious assault to police despite incontrovertible proof that more than two dozen witnesses were present
during the rapes. Worse yet, no one put a stop to it or tried to help the young victim. Two high school football players have been found guilty of multiple charges. Sadly, these are not isolated incidents. You may be asking yourself what kind of person would do nothing when something like this happens right in front of them? You may be thinking only a monster would allow a sexual assault to take place in plain sight and do nothing. Yet the truth is these witnesses are regular people just like you. They have jobs and lives, and bills to pay. They are the neighbours you make small talk with, buy your groceries from, and hang out with on weekends. They are the “public.” These silent witnesses are, in fact, an integral component of our collective safety plan. We tell our daughters to stay in public, well-populated spaces. We tell them there is safety in numbers. But we never tell them there is a possibility that no one will care if they are being assaulted. That it is entirely likely people will stand idly by, watch and do nothing at all to help them. The assumption that our daughters, our sisters, wives, girlfriends will be safe in public is based on two dangerous beliefs. The first is the overwhelming practice of thinking she somehow invited the sexual
attention. It is extremely common to hear things like, “She led him on,” “She shouldn’t have gotten drunk,” “Did you see what she was wearing?” Do not assume that she welcomes the attention of a rapist or pervert intent on groping or violating her. Know that no victim wants to be sexually assaulted. Ever. It is always the fault of the person doing the assaulting. It is traumatic
enough for the victim to experience the assault itself without having to suffer through the additional trauma of victim-blaming as well. The second dangerous belief that prevents girls and women from finding safety in public is the expectation that witnesses will intervene, do something, anything, to help keep someone else safe. This presumption does not take into account
the vast majority of people who feel disconnected from strangers, who simply refuse to get involved, refuse to notice others and who work very hard to “mind their own business.” And that is problem. Stop! Just stop minding your own business. Be aware of your surroundings and the people in it. Notice them. Recognize that as members of our community and our society, we have
children, youth and women who experience abuse and can refer men to the appropriate resources.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Federal government needs to be accountable for First Nations issues DEAR EDITOR: Like most of us in Lanark County, I received the latest of MP Scott Reid’s controversial Householders on Friday. This one, like other issues before it, is an assault on the credibility of First Nations leaders and, like other issues before it, includes a completely disingenuous reader survey. I am asked to decide between being in favour of accountable government for First Nations or against it. Talk about loaded questions! Mr. Reid, no group of Canadians has ever been subjected to as much scrutiny for the funds they receive from the federal government as have native Canadians – and no group of Canadians has ever had as little control over the disposal of these funds. Let’s remember that money transfers from the feds to First Nations are a government-to-government transfer resulting from a treaty signed by both parties, not some kind of charity – just as
the federal government is constitutionally obliged to transfer a portion of its tax revenue to the provinces. Can you imagine the reaction of the Ontario government if the federal government publicly questioned whether or not it is using federal transfer payments honestly? We call them First Nations, because they are nations. What business does our federal government have telling them how to run their elections and do their bookkeeping? We are not “giving” them money – we are paying for the use of their lands for the last 200 years – and paying precious little at that. This householder must be seen first, as an attempt to sow discord between chiefs and the residents of reserves and, secondly, as an attempt to increase the misinformed distrust that many CaSee LETTER page 9
COMMENTARY Put on purple March 26 EMC Editorial – March 26 is Purple Day for Epilepsy. As March winds down, Epilepsy Awareness Month, this one day has been set aside in dedication of raising awareness of epilepsy. While it is called Purple Day, the colour is more specifically lavender, as explained by the Epilepsy Resource Centre. Purple or lavender, whatever the shade, the colour signifies a sense of togetherness, for those with epilepsy or seizure disorders to know they are not alone in living with their condition. According to the Purple Day website, research dictates “an estimated 50 million people” suffer from epilepsy worldwide, most beginning at the “extremes” of age - old age and childhood. While so far there is no cure for epilepsy, there are treatments, drugs which are used as therapy. The drugs aid in suppressing seizures. Other treatment includes surgery, whereby the “region of the brain that triggers the seizures, without affecting vital functions such as language, memory, movements and sensation,” is removed. For those with a loved one who has a seizure, the website suggests staying calm, removing objects which might cause harm from the area, to not hold the person or restrain their movements, do not put anything in their mouth, turn them on their side as the seizure ends, do not offer food or drink until the person is fully alert and to stay with the person until they are thinking clearly. Epilepsy is a condition of the brain, “characterized by recurrent seizures,” however, according to the website, one in 10 people will experience at least one seizure event in their lifetime. A single seizure though, is not epilepsy. Purple Day was originally founded by a nine-year-old girl in Nova Scotia who was dealing with epilepsy. Her goal was to raise awareness of the condition and to erase the stigma surrounding seizure disorders. For more information about Purple Day please visit www.purpleday.org.
Mary became talented at bringing herself to another place EMC Lifestyle - At an early age, I developed an ability that I thought at the time, saved me from many a disappointment, worry and even heartache, and put me in another world. It took a lot of patience, and a great deal of practice, and much trial and error, but when I had perfected the exercise, it gave me great satisfaction and peace of mind. Through deep concentration, and forcing my mind away from an unpleasant situation, I was able to move my thoughts from the source of my anguish, and into a more pleasant place. This time of year, many was the time I had to put into practice this talent I had developed. The ice was gone out of the Bonnechere and the current was fast, and the mud pout could be seen from the shore. The three brothers had been watching the spring breakup for weeks, and now the time had finally come. I hated the very thought of the method used by the brothers to catch the fish. Using spears, some of which were made from a pitchfork from the barn,
they straddled an old tree that had fallen across the river at a narrow point, and stabbed them without mercy. When the mud pout became part of our supper, Mother, aware of my squeamish stomach, would put a slice of meat on my plate, or let me have scrambled eggs. And as I sat at the supper table, I would put into place my talent. I would picture in my mind pieces of bologna, my very favourite treat, sitting on the platter of mud pout in front of me. And even when my hateful brother Emerson would smack his lips for my benefit, I was able to change in my mind, the picture of the mud pout and turn it into bologna. This talent was put to good use at the Northcote School on more than one occasion too. If bad Marguirite was getting on my nerves, which happened at least once a day, I would picture her in my mind with homemade flour bag underwear under her skirt. She made sure every girl at the Northcote School knew that her underpinnings came from Walker’s Store in Renfrew!

could even see Pride of the Valley written across her seat! Emerson often said I was scared of my own shadow, and that wasn’t all that far from the truth. In the dark of night, in my bed, the sounds in the country terrified me. The whippoorwills in the distance, making their eerie cries, the wolves howling as they skirted the barnyard looking for their next meal, and the old house cracking from the frost in the dead of winter were all sounds that kept sleep at bay. Then I would call on this special talent I had developed over time. When these sounds surrounded me in my bed, I would force my mind’s eye to a street corner in Renfrew, to see the News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Stacey Roy, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Tiffany Lepack, Sabine Gibbins DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

Salvation Army band playing and singing their rousing hymns. I would be able to block out the frightening sounds around me, and sleep would come. This escape talent came to good use on Sundays too. We sat in the front pew at church. Our minister, a giant of a man, would come swooping down the aisle and climb into the little cubicle raised above the floor, scanning the congregation before he said a word. I was sure he was singling me out with his eyes, and knew every sin I had committed since the Sunday before. His thundering voice shook the rafters, and his enormous surplus billowed out as he waved his arms, looking for all the world like a large black bird. That’s when I would look over his head to a spot on the blue painted wall. I would pretend I was an angel, and my mission in life, in my mind, was to help the starving Armenians. These were the people Mother always said we took the food right out of their mouths if we didn’t eat everything on our plates. I thought they lived in Arnprior.

eye of this little floating angel high in our church, I pictured myself doing good deeds. The fear of the minister vanished. Every Friday afternoon without fail, Miss Crosby read from a storybook she would bring to the Northcote School. There was no such thing as a library at the one-room schoolhouse back in the ’30s. I would sit enthralled...not so much with the story, but from the sound of Miss Crosby’s sweet voice as she read from the book. She read with such inflection, you could picture yourself right inside the story. And it was then I would again transport my mind to another place. I would picture myself all grown up, far away from Northcote and the oneroom schoolhouse. In my mind’s eye I would be standing before great crowds of people, and I would be telling stories. The stories wouldn’t come from a book but would be of my own creation. Such were the unachievable dreams of a young child of the ’30s.

The Rideau is an iconic tourism asset with the potential to be much more of a significant driver of international visitation. It is Ontario’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Canadian Tourism Commission’s Signature Experience program is anxiously looking forward to welcoming some new Rideau-based programs but the current uncertainty of the waterway’s future is threatening this development. The impact of the cost-cutting measures would have devastating effects on the Rideau communities, tourism operators and stakeholders that depend on the Rideau. A concerted, long-term solution is needed. We support in principle our Rideau mayors and also the recent Regional Tourism Organizations’ (RTO) call to action in their letter dated Feb. 25 to bring Parks Canada, involved agencies and government organizations, the private sector and other key stakeholders together to develop a strategy to provide SPECIAL PECIAL TTRUCKLOAD RUCKLLOAD PURCHASE PURC CHASE for sustainable operation of the waterways into the future; and +1 Ê extend the moratorium on reductions - / to operating schedules until a long term strategy is developed.

DEAR EDITOR: The following is a letter sent by the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association, to the Honourable Peter Kent, Minister of the Environment, on March 14. The Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association is writing on behalf of its member municipalities, counties, Chambers of Commerce and its over 2,400 tourism industry partners. The Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association (RHRTA) comprised of the Rideau Canal and its adjoining towns and villages positions the entire Rideau Heritage Route as a tourism destination by promoting the region’s authentic experiences. As the region’s DMO, one of our main objectives is to build awareness of the Rideau corridor as a world class year round destination by promoting our tourism experiences with the goal of increasing the number of visitors and extending length of stay. We will continue to work with all our municipal, provincial and federal partners as well as Chambers of Commerce for tourism development projects & in delivering tourism marketing programs to help strengthen existing businesses and create a positive climate from economic growth in the area but the current uncertainty of this key asset proves to be an increasing challenge. As you are aware, the Rideau Canal attracts close to one million visitors each year and we thank Parks Canada for its continued

Support cancer society during Daffodil Month DEAR EDITOR: Every three minutes another Canadian is faced with fighting cancer. Throughout April, volunteers throughout Lanark, Leeds & Grenville and across Ontario will be working together to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society during Daffodil Month. Join the fight against cancer April 3 to 6. We ask that everyone wear a daffodil pin throughout April, and, most importantly, on April 27 which is Daffodil Day. For a small donation, Canadians can
wear the pin to show solidarity with those living with cancer, letting them know they are not alone. Money raised during Daffodil Month helps the Society do everything it can to prevent cancer, fund research to outsmart cancer and empower, inform and support people living with cancer right here in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville. The Canadian Cancer Society is marking its 75th anniversary in 2013. It is an occasion to celebrate our successes over 75 years while recognizing the work that still needs to be done in our
fight for life. It is only with the support of our volunteers and donors that the society will continue to save lives and support people living with cancer right now. Visit fightback.ca or call 613-2671058 for more information about Daffodil Month, where to get your daffodil pin or to volunteer.

Conservatives don’t walk their talk on farmers DEAR EDITOR: The Conservative Party likes to say that it supports our farmers. The facts say otherwise. This month, a new Conservative federal-provincial agricultural agreement goes into effect setting the course for farming in Canada for the next five years, marking an unprecedented attack on programs designed to help farmers manage their risk – backstops necessary to farmers in tough times. Among the shocking cuts to the business risk management (BRM) suite are cuts to AgriInvest, which helps cover income declines and provides funds to mitigate risks and invest in the farm,
slashing its funding by 33 per cent. More surprisingly, they also take a huge chunk out of AgriStability, which helps cover declines in producers’ average income from previous years, hacking off as much as $411 million a year, for a total cut of more than $2 billion over the five-year program. With these cuts, the Conservatives are leaving producers more vulnerable when bad times hit – and doing so despite clearly hearing from farmers how valuable these programs are. Instead of cutting red tape – they cut all the reasonable assistance farmers rely on in times of need. These cuts to BRM come on the heels
An Evening with
of short-sighted plans to eliminate the Agroforestry Development Centre in Indian Head and the PFRA’s Community Pasture program—which both provide essential public services for producers that don’t have viable private business models—as well as reckless cuts to food inspection, which leaves the door open to another XL Foods-like crisis. The next time you hear Conservatives boast about their support for farmers, you might want to ask them about that record!

New conservation authority report cards provide check up on state of Ontario’s environment The report cards, which start rolling out March 18 online at www. conservationontario.ca, specifically look at how water and land resources are connected to each other and how our actions impact the health of those resources. “Watershed reporting helps to communicate baseline information on watershed health, to identify local and regional differences, and to show us where to target our efforts for the most impact,” said Hibma. Examples of activities that conservation authorities, landowners and their partners do to improve conditions in local watersheds include watershed planning, stewardship initiatives such as tree planting, rural water quality activities, water conservation
programs, flood and erosion control, stormwater management and green infrastructure. Ontario’s water and land resources provide important ecological, economic and societal benefits and should be protected. Forests, lakes, rivers, natural spaces, wetlands, soils, plants and animals are all necessary for clean air, safe drinking water, sustainable water supplies, food, fuel, energy and most important, healthy bodies and minds. Challenges such as urbanization and climate change significantly impact the health and resiliency of our watersheds which we need in order to adapt to changing global and local conditions. In order to plan how to protect these important resources, it’s critical to monitor conditions and
then analyze them in order to find out what it’s telling us about changing conditions in local watersheds. “We’re very pleased to launch the first of these watershed report cards,” Hibma said. “More will be added as they are available.” The report cards report on three resource categories: surface water quality, forest conditions, and groundwater quality. The purpose of the report cards is to inform people living in Ontario about local conditions and to provide a management and evaluation tool for conservation authorities and other practitioners to measure environmental change and target programs. The conservation authorities’ watershed report cards are designed
R0011981712_0314
EMC News – In conjunction with Canada Water Week, Ontario’s conservation authorities have started to release a new series of watershed report cards that provide a check up on the current state of many of Ontario’s watersheds in terms of lakes, rivers, streams, groundwater and forest conditions. “Conservation authorities have been monitoring and assessing local conditions across Ontario for years and these report cards bring that information to the general public in a very user-friendly, informative way which we hope will help all of us make good decisions about how to protect important water and land resources that we rely on every day,” said Dick Hibma, chair of Conservation Ontario.
to be an ongoing product and will report once every five years. In between report cards, conservation authorities will continue to provide information and updates on local issues and conditions in many other ways. To find your local report card, please visit www.watershedcheckup. ca.

a forever home with a quiet patient family where they can spend their lives together. Melody is a special petite orange tabby lady. She’s a little older than most cats we have a LAWS at the moment; probably 12 to 13-years-old. She was found in November by a kind person who brought her in. She was badly matted, covered in fleas and very sick when she made her entrance at LAWS. She stayed in our cat ICU for several months before she recovered enough to be adoptable. Now, she is healthy, full of spark and has lots of trust in people despite her bad experience. She loves to have her belly scratched. Melody even rolls over for you without asking, but being picked-up by strangers is not her favourite thing (yet). We hope a kind hearted person will give this lovely lady a good home for the remainder of her years; she really deserves it.

Featured pets Jango and Tori are two sweet, but somewhat shy cats who have become buddies. Tori is a two-year-old female torbie with beautiful markings. It took the LAWS staff and volunteers quite a while to win this shy gal over. She has been at the shelter 10 months; far too long. Since Jango came into her life, she seems happier and much more trustful of people.

the trunk. They’d drove in from Sudbury. We managed to get indoors, to our relief, joining about 75 people of all ages. From a sunny arrival, ten minutes later it was snowing so hard I couldn’t see the end of the building. The snow didn’t last long but these gusts kept happening through the next four hours as the line grew outside around the Memorial Gardens. Oh, and the stories... While heading from the parking lot to the building a car pulled up and two friends, bleary-eyed, stepped out. Dave Gunning and JP Cormier from the east coast were just heading in to a soundcheck but stopped to chat for a moment. They’d been to the family funeral the day before and so had travelled hard to get there, each having toured with Tom for periods of time and both incredibly humbled to be asked to be part of Tom’s wish list as players for his own memorial. They humbly travelled far. My friend spoke to a guy who shared he’d been in a bar somewhere in Ontario years ago and was trying to pick up this gal he’d met. When she said she was from Elliot Lake he said he knew a Stompin’ Tom song about there and their conversation continued to the point they’ve now been married many years. They drove a long way to be there. Some guys next to us travelled from Iroquois Falls, northeast of Timmins. One of them stated, “When we first heard his music we laughed but then we realized he was singing about us.” They’d
been singin’ Stompin’ Tom songs for the past 30 years together so they made the trek in his honour. I think that’s how it happened for many of us. I remember hearing Tom’s tunes first on an 8-track one of my friends would play as they drove me home from “Slumber College” and seeing him at The Horseshoe Tavern in ‘Tranna.’
We laughed and laughed but the tunes were infecting and you couldn’t help remembering at least one of his tunes. Mine was ‘Goodbye Rubberhead’...don’t ask me why. Later, when he returned his Junos I held him in higher esteem as with so much quality music See MUSINGS page 23

EMC Lifestyle – For most who attend concerts, club shows, etc., it’s “the moment”... that “moment” they are being entertained that they take home with them. What many fail to realize is what’s gone on to make that event happen. Most don’t realize while the entertainer is doing just that for you, entertaining, they are not with family, they miss most family and other important functions being on the road for hours and hours between shows, good weather and bad, for weeks or months at a time. For two musicians, it was the other way around recently, as friends, fans, fellow musicians travelled far to remember them. As I jumped in the car I knew I was going to miss ‘Hockey Night in Lanark,’ my old timer game so rarely skipped by myself, but it was with good reason. Each of us in the car had our own reason for travelling the two hours to Peterborough to attend Stompin’ Tom’s Memorial. One lad far younger than I brought along a program from a 1973 Stompin’ Tom concert he’d gone to with his long departed dad, while growing up in New Brunswick and wore a Stompin’ Tom t-shirt he’d got at a more recent show in Ottawa. Another lad, not known for being a music lover and rarely leaves his property, was interestingly first to jump at the chance of going with us, out of respect and the fond memories Tom’s music brought him. So, off we went with a Stompin’ Tom CD on repeat. We were not alone...they travelled from everywhere...a pilgrimage! We arrived at 1 p.m. knowing the doors didn’t open until 5 p.m. and the memorial started at 7 p.m., but we wanted to make sure we secured one of the 3,800, first-come first-in, free seats. Scoping out the parking lot, there was already a car with a life-size Stompin’ Tom cut out standing beside, the car’s previous inhabitants milling about and his music blasting from

being made in Canada, we should be recognizing them here now (and I’ll add I feel we should be upping the percentage of Canadian music being expected to be played on radio). As I learned to appreciate acoustic and country music I became increasingly impressed with Tom’s songs and patronage of our country. I’d never heard the song ‘Wop May,’ about a Canadian flying ace. Well there was a woman there claiming to be his granddaughter and she and all her family were there, young and old. Another person had a brick-sized speaker box that played his whole Stompin’ Tom library from his cellphone to the crowd. The commonality of our reason for being there seemed to make us all instant friends. He played her grandfather’s tune several times and

I have since looked Wop May up and now see why Tom wanted to tell his story. In our waiting area, people came prepared with lawn chairs. They shared pizzas and of course, more and more stories. At one point a 12-year-old lad started up what turned into a rousing version of ‘The Hockey Song’ and he knew all the words. An older man I spoke to, whom I realized had an intellectual disability, came up by bus from Oshawa to pay his respects. You could tell how much it meant for him to be there. All economic strata were represented as were age groups. After four hours of waiting together we were one big happy family. I won’t go on describing the whole event because it’s been covered lots but I will share the following comments. After all that wait, finally sitting down and the bars being opened, the crowd
started to get into a kitchen party atmosphere but it was noteworthy and a proud moment when all partying ceased out of respect as Tom’s casket was carried onstage by an RCMP colour guard. His Order of Canada medal sat on a pedestal as did his guitar beside it. His wife Lena placed his black hat on top of the casket and leaned his last stomping board against it. The Peterborough Pop Ensemble did a beautiful vocal version of ‘O Canada’ I’d heard once before in the same location, for the Peterborough Pete’s season opener, and was equally impressed. And yes, there were more stories. Brian Edwards, his longtime promoter; Ken Dryden; the Honourable Adrienne Clarkson; and an old high school colleague of mine, Deane Cameron, past president of EMI and the one who got Tom back out on the road after a 12-year hiatus, kept the crowd entertained with their remembrances,
as Tom had planned. Then there was the music. Tim Hus (who’s played O’Reilly’s in Perth) had been opened for Tom on his last tours and was apparently felt by Tom to be a sort of protege. Sylvia Tyson and Cindy Church, Dave Gunning and JP Cormier, his band made up of many players from many eras, Dave Bidini and Damhnait Doyle all musically shared as Tom had wished. The kitchen party came to an end with a rousing group sing of ‘Sudbury Saturday Night’ before Tom’s casket was carried off. Just as those who travelled afar, so will his legend travel and continue to grow. It was a truly memorable event. A few days earlier I attended a smaller tribute but one in which the same travelling from away happened out of respect for the wonderful musician, community spirit and all round good guy, Ray Donaldson. The
Lanark Civitan Club was packed with fans from all over. Musicians and fans travelled far to show their respects... guitar ace Steve Piticco came from Brighton, Andy Schick on pedal steel came from Kingston, Dan Washburn on bass came from Stirling, Jerry Lee from Renfrew, John Voss from Sharbot Lake and sound man Dave Perry from Brighton were joined by locals Freddy Dixon, Harry Adrain, Driftin’ Doug and Mary Clapp to name a few. Charlie and Val Smith played and also organized the event that raised over $1,700 for the cancer society. I’m sure Stompin’ Tom and ‘Raymi’ were both at their respective tributes and were humbled to know people took the time to travel one more time to remember all they’d shared. Music moves us in mysterious and wonderful ways. Support live music forever.

Pakenham on international stage at Miami Fashion Week By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca
EMC News –Tara Caldwell will bring a touch of Pakenham to a city that is known for its heat and parties. Caldwell won the 2013 Miami Fashion Week Graphic Artist Poster Competition and is there this week to accept her prize. She is currently finishing the graphic design program at Algonquin College after graduating from Almonte District High School in 2009. Caldwell entered the contest as part of a class requirement that has each student find a contest to enter. To find the contest she simply Googled ‘Graphic Design Contest’; that was the easy part. “It took a couple of months to put it together. I had ten other drafts and I had a lot of revisions,” said Caldwell. “I got a lot of feedback from my teachers, classmates and friends, which helped a lot.” The winning design has a large ‘M’ for Miami featuring a runway model from last year’s event. Part of the criteria was to only use images from past events. “I emailed them to ask if I could use a photo and they sent me access to a site with a gallery of photos,” said Caldwell. “I liked her (model’s) look, it was really intense and I added the veil over her eyes in Photoshop.” Merri Grace McLeroy of Integrated Marketing Strategies was the main judge for the poster competition and thought Caldwell’s poster was very strong. She called the design very fresh, dramatic, fashionable and strong.
“I loved the architectural look of it. It’s very structured with clean hard edges and had a very high fashion impact,” said McLeroy. “It spoke fashion very well; the dramatic and theatrical aspects of fashion. The international competition had 40 entries and McLeroy says Caldwell’s design stood out. “It’s a particular look and it’s different look with a very strong and powerful graphic,” said McLeroy. As part of her prize, Caldwell also won a one-hour review of her portfolio with McLeroy. Caldwell said she is interested in fashion but is by no means an expert; however the design came to her after she realized there was a strong connection between the letter ‘M’ and the fashion world. She explained that the letter ‘M’ reminded her of a deep neckline that many of the models wear on the runway. She then carried this concept through to her poster, combining the giant ‘M’ with the model. Caldwell also used photo manipulation, font treatment and sizing, to complete her poster. She had to submit her entry by Jan. 30 and found out via email she had won while in Pakenham over her recent reading break from school. “It was pretty crazy. I was at my parent’s house and I was just casually checking my email when I saw it,” recalled Caldwell. “I jumped out of bed and ran and told my dad I had won the contest.” Both her parents, Eric and Julie Caldwell, are very proud of their
Team
daughter’s accomplishment. “I was really happy with how it turned out but I didn’t think I would win,” admitted Caldwell. “I was optimistic but I knew my chances of winning were slim, but this is a nice surprise.” She feels that the win validates that she is going into the right profession. “It gives me more to expand my design career and winning this contest assures me I am going in the right di-
rection,” she said. She is now in the Sunshine State from March 19 to 26 and has won admission to the show where she will receive her award as the International Student Graphic Artist of the Year on stage in front of international media and be presented with a cash prize. “I’m so excited. It will be so nice to add the award to my portfolio and it will be really cool to see my poster all over Miami,” Caldwell concluded.
BIA to give nearly 50 per cent of costs to raise Market Square By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
EMC Business – The Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) wants to extend its main street project (MSP) repayment. Cathie McOrmond, coordinator of the BIA, said the extra time is sought after in order to contribute 50 per cent up to a maximum of $75,000 to the net cost of the construction of a roof over the concrete slab at the Market Square Pavilion. This will make the area usable for a variety of functions, in addition to the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market. The MSP, completed several years ago, resulted in the purchase of decorative lighting and benches, sidewalk repairs, grates installed around trees, attractive welcome signs put in at each entrance to town, and so on.

The provincial government covered 50 per cent of the MSP costs, while the town and BIA each contributed 25 per cent. Although this occurred before McOrmond was hired, she explained the BIA borrowed its share from the municipality, and under an agreement, the business organization would pay $20,000 every year for 20 years to the town to cover its portion. At March 12’s policy review committee meeting, council agreed to the BIA’s loan request and authorized proceeding with the new roof project. Furthermore, town staff, the BIA and Coun. Gary Strike (a BIA board member) will meet to resolve the details. The cost of the roof is estimated to be $150,000. The BIA is contributing to the final costs minus all other sources of funding, with the See BIA page A/CP2

exception of the contributions from the Town of Carleton Place and the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market. The Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce is pursuing funding ($30,000) from the Ontario Trillium Foundation for this project. “We are waiting to see what happens,” said McOrmond. “If we obtain other grants, our cost is reduced.” To help the cause, residents are invited to purchase an engraved paving stone from the town at a cost of $150. They will be personally inscribed and then permanently set in place at the Market Square location. “The BIA wanted to see it (Market Square) completed,” said McOrmond. “The opportunities (it presents) are endless: movie nights, mini festivals, arts shows, musical entertainment and much more.” What’s more, a roof offers protection from the weather – and not just rain. “People walking around can take a rest and get out of the sun,” said McOrmond.
She noted the BIA is looking at organizing walking tours downtown and offering boxed lunches, which can be brought over to the Market Square and enjoyed. The BIA would like to receive significant recognition (onsite and publicly) for its contribution to raising the roof, said McOrmond. Owing to the BIA funding a large portion of the money needed to raise the Market Square roof, it has requested the town waive the user fees associated with the use of the Market Square or its grounds. A committee is now in place to resolve the details, said McOrmond. “They should be able to work it out in one or two weeks,” she continued. Making up the committee are Paul Knowles, Joanne Henderson, Ben McNeely, Strike and McOrmond. The structure will be built as soon as possible in 2013. “Council greatly appreciates the BIA’s offer towards the completion of the Market Square roof,” said Strike. “It demonstrates a strong spirit of cooperation and partnership between the BIA and the town.”

New St. James Anglican Church hall concerns neighbouring residents By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carleton Place residents living in the area of St. James Anglican Church, as well as several members of the congregation, voiced their concerns and support for the demolition of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing office add-on and the construction of a new parish hall in its place, on March 5. The group made their comments about the church, located at 225 Edmund St., during the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning and protection committee meeting. Lisa Young, director of planning and development, said the town received a development permit application (Class 3) for the project, which would remove the existing addition and replace it with an assembly hall, classrooms, offices and accessible washrooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of which will be easy to get to from both an internal and external perspective. It would be a 6,800 square foot project. The entrance to the parish hall would be from Edmund St. (see drawing). The existing parish hall will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;mothballed,â&#x20AC;? according to Rev. David Andrew. Concerns from nearby residents include parking and pedestrian movements, lighting, increase in noise, dust and debris during construction, and human activity with the neighbourhood. Parking is currently available across the street on land owned by the church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two handicapped spaces have been dedicated on the street,â&#x20AC;? said Young, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and with most of the churches in the community, it is very much understood residential streets are used to

A rendering of the new St. James Anglican Church hall in Carleton Place. The project encompasses the removal of the existing office add-on and the construction of an addition with an assembly hall classrooms, offices and accessible washrooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of which will be easy to get to from both an internal and external perspective. The entrance to the parish hall would be from Edmund Street. accommodate some of the parking.â&#x20AC;? The landscape plan includes additional landscaping along William St., and prior to construction, the existing trees to be retained will be protected through the placement of fencing. The guidelines for working around trees will be followed. Details related to lighting ensure there is no spill over to neighbouring properties, said Young. The height of the project is in keeping with the residential provisions, and the architectural design and height is
reflective of the residential neighbourhood as well. From the property line to the new building it is approximately 15 feet, said Young. Discussion and comments â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to commend the committee for bringing us a document that we can actually view,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Louis Antonakos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks fantastic! You have done a good job.â&#x20AC;? He asked about the kitchen facility in the new hall and whether it would
be commercial or standard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a kitchen associated with it, but whether or not it is a commercial kitchen, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the details,â&#x20AC;? said Young. According to the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architect, Larry Gaines of Almonte, the kitchen would be the same size as the current one in the existing hall. It has a sixburner stove, convection oven and microwave ovens. Coun. Rob Probert asked about the occupancy capacity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a little less â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about
225,â&#x20AC;? said Gaines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupancy is 250.â&#x20AC;? In regards to members of the congregation parking on the nearby streets, Coun. Gary Strike stated residents must be able to get in and out of their driveway. Bill Graham lives on William St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Originally, I was dead set against this proposal to build the new hall across from my property because of the historical nature and history, openness and peacefulness of the area,â&#x20AC;? noted Bill Graham, who lives on William St. However, Graham said he now understands that the St. James Anglican Church congregation realizes this (project) is necessary and it is time for change; a move to something more modern, more useful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was born on William St. 67 years ago, and I spent 50 of my years on William St.,â&#x20AC;? he said. Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather and grandmother and their nine kinds moved there in 1912 as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears the intended usage of this new building is to be greatly increased, but we must remember it is a parish hall and not a community centre,â&#x20AC;? he said. Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest concern is onstreet parking. He requested the parking in front of his home and on either side of his driveway be addressed and rectified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The introduction of this development is forever going to change this area,â&#x20AC;? said Graham, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we have the right as taxpaying citizens, homeowners and long-time residents to want to keep our neighbourhood as quiet and See HALL page A/CP4

Familiar face takes over as ADHS principal tlepack@perfprint.ca
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There is a new leader for the Thunderbolts. After 30 years in education and six years at Almonte District High School (ADHS) Laurie McCabe has retired as principal and Ron Ferguson, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former vice-principal, took over the reins on March 18. The new vice-principal will be Kelly Weir-Burtt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been an irrefutable exhilarating and rewarding educational experience that I am incredibly fortunate to have had. The last six years at Almonte and District High School have been a fitting end to my educational career that first started as an office administrator, then kindergarten teacher at Naismith Memorial Public School,â&#x20AC;? said McCabe in an email to the Canadian-Gazette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have been challenging years that have seen lots of educational change but I truly believe that the school is now very well prepared and positioned to move forward to become a truly inclusive 7-12 school that embraces 21st century learning.â&#x20AC;? McCabe believes the school is in good hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Weir-

Resident Ray Springer echoed Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments about traffic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an accident waiting to happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I seriously hope the town puts in four stop signs instead of two at Edmund and William streets, and reducing the traffic speed as is done in other neighbourhoods. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dangerous for cars, dangerous for citizens.â&#x20AC;? He was a bit surprised there was no communication with the neighbourhood from the church during this whole process. In regards to the current parish hall, â&#x20AC;&#x153;mothballing it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it for me,â&#x20AC;? said Springer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to know what the short and medium plans are for that building, and I would like to have a commitment from the church that if they make a change they first consult the immediate people in the community.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am humbled by Mr. Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change of heart tonight, as well as Mr. Springerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good comments,â&#x20AC;? said Rev. Andrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to begin with an apology, and the apology would be we did not and we should have consulted our neighbours prior to the public documents going forward. I accept full responsibility for that.â&#x20AC;? St. James United Church has been a part of the neighbourhood for 179 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have absolutely no desire to do anything that would negatively impact our neighbourhood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the neighbourhood we share,â&#x20AC;? said Rev. Andrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this was to be a white elephant, something that would detract from the neighbourhood, it never would have got past our own parish council.â&#x20AC;? For 179 years the community has blessed the church and the church has blessed the community, he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main reason we are doing what we are doing is to make our facility accessible,â&#x20AC;? said Rev. Andrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The church at present is not accessible. One of two exits at our
church caused great concern to the Ocean Wave Fire Company at our last inspection.â&#x20AC;? The Sunday school currently meets across the street at the parish hall and every Sunday morning 15 to 20 children between the ages of three and 10 cross the street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the new facility, the Sunday school classrooms are incorporated on the same side of the street as the church, which eliminates a huge safety concern,â&#x20AC;? said Rev. Andrew. The church has done its best to address the parking situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new hall will be for the whole community,â&#x20AC;? said he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and our neighbours will be welcome to use it.â&#x20AC;? Rev. Andrew hoped council would look favourably on the proposal and apologized again to the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbours. Council carried a motion to proceed with the development permit agreement. As mayor Wendy LeBlanc is a longtime member of St. James Anglican Church, she declared a conflict of interest and did not participate in the vote or prior discussion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honour to be the principal in such a great community, I am looking forward to it, this is a great school with fantastic students,â&#x20AC;? said Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daughters are very young but hopefully one day they will go here, too.â&#x20AC;? He has a number of goals for the future of the school but tops on his list are to continue the roll out of the grade 7-12 school model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall it has gone really well this year and we have received a lot of positive feedback, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to welcoming the grade 6 students for orientation after March Break,â&#x20AC;? said Ferguson. Ferguson has been an administrator at five local schools and the principal for three schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s challenging but also very rewarding,â&#x20AC;? said Ferguson.

CANADIANS From front page
The home team held a slight 25-24 shots edge, based mainly on a strong first period effort. Canadians’ coach and general manager Jason Clarke isn’t taking anything for granted despite his team’s early advantage. “We have to win four games, not two,” he said Monday morning. “We know that Mark (Grady), Rob (Dopson) and Walt (Dubas) do a great job with that hockey team,” Clarke said, referring to the Smiths Falls’ coaching staff. “I expect them (Bears) to come out really strong in the next game. They will be playing desperate hockey and we will have to be prepared for them.” Slow start Clarke admits his team wasn’t clicking in the first period of game two Sunday. “Our passing was off. But it was our first playoff period on the road and we did play well defensively. Brandon (O’Neill) had a good period and we were able to keep them (Bears) off the scoreboard. “We made some adjustments and things went much better the rest of the game.” The other three opening round series in the CCHL have all been com-

But Monday morning Pembroke Lumber Kings and Hawkesbury Hawks both stood on the verge of playoff elimination. The fourth place Lumber Kings were beaten 4-1 at home Sunday night to trail the fifth place Nepean Raiders 3-0 in games. Nepean, the defending league champions, won a pair of 2-1 decisions last Wednesday and Friday to gain the advantage in the best-ofseven. After completing a surprise sweep of Carleton Place in last year’s quarter finals, Hawkesbury are on the brink of being swept themselves this time around. Ottawa Junior Senators, first place finishers during the regular sea-
son, edged the visiting Hawks 4-3 Saturday night to take a 3-0 stranglehold on that best-of-seven set. Hawkesbury qualified for the post season on the final weekend of the campaign, edging out Kanata Stallions for eighth place. Not surprisingly the showdown between third place Cornwall Colts and sixth place Brockville Braves is a dandy! Colts edged Braves 2-1 in Cornwall Sunday night to take a 2-1 lead in games in that best-of-seven. Friday night in Brockville the teams engaged in a more than four-hour marathon. Joey House’s goal at 5:03 of the third overtime period gave Braves a 3-2 triumph. Colts won the opener 5-2 in Cornwall Thursday but needed an

empty net goal to put it away. In Canadians’ win at Smiths Falls Sunday, forwards Kasteel, Peterson and Howe each had a goal and one assist. Carleton Place native Stephen Baylis set up a pair of goals for the winners. O’Neill had the “luck of Irish” on St. Patrick’s Day. He kicked out 24 shots for the goaltending win. Jimmy Howe stopped 20 shots in a losing cause for Smiths Falls. The home team was assessed eight of 15 minor penalties. Peterson, Kasteel and Baylis made it a three star sweep for Carleton Place. Capture opener Canadians got their post-season off on the right foot Friday night, winning the opener of their quarterfinal set with arch rival Smiths Falls in front of nearly 800 fans at community centre. Last spring Carleton Place, who finished fourth overall during the campaign, lost their home opener to fifth place Hawkesbury by the identical 4-1 count. Hawks went on to complete a surprise four game sweep. Carleton Place had the territorial advantage in game one, outshooting Smiths Falls 30-19 and holding period leads of 1-0 and 2-1. Canadians put the contest away with two unanswered markers in the third. Team ace Globke opened scoring
at 7:47 of the first period. Anthony McVeigh’s shorthanded effort, at the 6:17 mark of period two, turned out to be the winner. Bears’ only goal was a powerplay effort by veteran forward Jeffrey Carroll with a minute and a half remaining in the middle frame. Late season scoring surprise Garrett Moore provided all the insurance Canadians would need with a powerplay strike at 4:06 of the third. Three minutes, 44 seconds later Lucas Gonu iced the win. Globke led all scorers in the game with a goal and one helper. O’Neill wasn’t severely tested. He made 18 saves for the goaltending win. Patrick Martin was steady in the Smiths Falls’ cage, turning aside 26 shots. Each team was handed six penalties. The only major was a misconduct to O’Neill for not proceeding directly to the bench at the end of the opening stanza. Globke, McVeigh and Baylis, who set up the winning marker, were the three stars. If necessary game five goes in Carleton Place Friday at 7:45 p.m. A sixth game would be in Smiths Falls Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.. If needed a seventh and deciding game would be in Carleton Place next Tuesday (March 26) starting at 7:30 p.m.

Unlock the health services available in your own backyard EMC Editorial – We all have the power to determine our own health. What you put into your body can directly affect your energy level and how you perform on a daily basis. In today’s society, it has become even more imperative for people to take ownership of their own health and be an active participant in what’s affecting their bodies. To do that, however, it’s important to be aware of the programs and services offered in our own communities. Many need to seek these things out and it can be a difficult task, but the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH), its foundation and auxiliary are doing all the work for local residents with a special initiative this Saturday, March 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Neelin Street Community Centre. Dubbed the Community Health
Fest, the venture will bring health care providers and community partners together all under one roof so residents can see exactly what is available to them. Furthermore, it supports CPDMH’s strategic plan, which is dedicated to fostering community engagement and encouraging the public to see what’s in their own backyard, in terms of health care. Organizers have ensured this will be a beneficial event for the whole family, with features for young and old. Have your blood pressure tested, hearing checked and receive a massage, all while the kids take a turn around the skating rink, enjoy face painting in a kids zone or take a turn through the Hand Hygiene House of Horrors. The best part: it’s all offered free of charge (thanks to several sponsors) so there’s no excuse not to attend. CPDMH has been working on this
initiative since last fall and they have pulled out all the stops. In addition to more than 35 information booths, 16 complimentary health series seminars will run throughout the day. The topics include something to interest everyone: substance abuse and suicide in relation to youth, diabetes awareness, craniosacral therapy, denture care, epilepsy, advanced care planning and retirement living. Or perhaps you want to find out how your posture affects your health, learn about physiotherapy, discover the benefits of your local health food store and gluten-free living, how to maximize the health of Fido; it will all be covered in half-hour sessions during the event. The Community Health Fest seems to be ahead of the trend and other
communities are jumping on the bandwagon. Smiths Falls, for one, will host their Healthy Living Festival this summer. Another reason it’s beneficial to learn about the programs your hospital has, might also save residents some gas. Many travel to specialists in Ottawa and perhaps farther, but often your local hospital can make the same treatments available to you. In this day and age, saving time and money is something everyone can appreciate. We applaud CPDMH for having the foresight to engage its community like they are. When people know the types of services their local hospital and its partners can offer, they are able to make more informed decisions about their health. And taking control of your own health always makes good sense.

Katching up with my niece Kat EMC Editorial – It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about Kathryn, my adorable niece, and so much has happened, too. Kat – as I like to call her – is getting ready to celebrate her first birthday. I can’t believe it! It seems like only yesterday that I was at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto with my sister, brother-in-law and mother waiting for her arrival. Although my mother and I planned to be in the delivery room for this momentous occasion, circumstances beyond our control prevented it. Instead, Kat made her way into the world by caesarean section on April 15. She was eight pounds, alert and lovely, had beautiful little lips, and a smidgen of soft hair. Kat is a miracle baby. After years of trying to get pregnant and two unsuccessful in vitro fertilization attempts, my 44-year-old sister and her husband at long last accepted they wouldn’t be parents – unless furry babies count. Months later they were surprised but elated to learn they were expecting. Birth defects are one of the things women worry about the most during pregnancy, and there is an increased risk for women who are over age 35. Kat was diagnosed with torticollis. One in 250 infants are born with the condition in which the head is tilted to one side. In Kat’s case, the muscles on one side of her neck did not develop correctly in the womb and she could not turn her head to the right. The majority of torticollis cases can be resolved with straightforward stretching exer-
cises. However, physical therapy, increased time on her tummy and changes in Tara Firma sleeping position weren’t enough for Kat. She was fitted for a helmet and we were told she would wear it until she was a year old. We couldn’t believe how quickly Kat’s head improved with the helmet. About a month ago we got the news the helmet was coming off early. Kat is perfect in my eyes! On Monday (March 18) I got the news she pulled herself up and stood for the very first time. It only lasted 30 seconds, but she stood. My sister, brother-in-law and Kat reside in Brooklin, near Whitby. It’s about a three-hour drive from Carleton Place. Unfortunately, I don’t get to see Kat a lot, but we do “talk” weekly on the telephone. Lately, we’ve been Skyping. It’s hilarious! My sister puts Kat in her highchair and trains the video camera on her. When I accept my incoming Skype call, there she is sitting and smiling at me. We talk, sing songs and read books. Last week I showed her how to blow a kiss. I also have a five-year old nephew, Gage. He’s a doll, too. The other night we played 3D bowling on my phone. He won! I love listening to him tell me about what he’s learning in school. Becoming an aunt is completely out of one’s control. When your sister or sister-inlaw becomes a mother, you become an aunt. It just happens and it changes your life. Being an aunt is everything I thought it would be.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Resident promotes open house on April 18 is much less intimidating. Individuals can make a comment without being shouted down or being intimidated by people who don’t necessarily agree with them.” They have “moved away from audience and council back and forth approach,” according to the mayor and the “nervousness” associated with public disclosure of feelings and opinions, according to Les Reynolds, secretary of GNGN, to an “open” forum. I must state that myself as a member of this committee, GNGN, and having presented the 30 recommendations to council in December 2012, the five volunteers who made up the non-political component of this committee are no longer required, let alone consulted regarding the survey or subsequent presentation. In my humble estimation, having read these two articles, my conclusion is that this present council is all about control of the debate and situation via staff and elected officials without due regard for accountability or transparency. The political stifling of public opinion is based upon lack of record and a divide and conquer mentality via the present council. I personally disagree with this style of governance; thereby the obvious result: controlling any public record of disagreement, let alone have the elected officials, staff, accountable for what they’ve said, where and when. I refer to the Ontario Ombudsman’s report from October 2012 on this very style of governance which states that most municipalities in Ontario still operate in secrecy: www.ombudsman.on.ca/Newsroom/ Press-Release/2012/Some-Ontario-municipalitiesstill--shockingly-secr.aspx?lang=en-CA). This council was elected two years ago on “accountability and transparency.” Democracy is best practised when open and documented for the record. Otherwise it’s about control and anything but accountable, leading to the fiasco documented in the Canadian Gazette Feb. 28. Jim Kowbel, GNGN member, Carleton Place

DEAR EDITOR: It was with interest and disbelief that I read two articles and one editorial in the Canadian Gazette Feb 28. One on the front page ‘Council declines offer for Hooper St. property, another on page 10 ‘Good Neighbours Great Neighbourhoods open house April 18,’ and the subsequent editorial via EMC regarding development in Carleton Place on page 8. It would appear that the main issue with the article concerning the Hooper St. property and the subsequent uncertainty as to who was where when, what was said, and the confusion resulting in accusations which obviously couldn’t be substantiated due to “lack of record,” further resulted in the developer withdrawing his proposal for a 9.2-acre industrial park on Hooper St. in Carleton Place. Councillors indicating a purported offer, a closed meeting discussing the offer amongst council, the mayor (Wendy LeBlanc) not sure of attendance for some of the discussion, staff opinion not part of record yet clearly an opinion was given via staff? Chair councillor Doug Black held “in camera” sessions about the proposal with fellow councillors, yet there was no record of what was said by who, when, and where. “In camera,” I assume, just means “closed meeting?” This same “lack of record” is evident in the approach taken via council to the presentation of Good Neighbours Great Neighbourhoods (GNGN). The top 12 out of 30 recommendations were unveiled in a “controlled presentation” with easels and separate presentations via councillors. Doug Black chair of GNGN, the mayor on GNGN committee and staff, also noted a citizen’s objection, in council chambers, citing the “lack of public awareness and open dialogue on the subject.” I agree with the objection. All of this in the name of “it became much more civilized by having boards around the room where people could go and express their opinion and be listened to in polite fashion,” according to the mayor. And further “the other method (open discussion),

Town of Carleton Place holds third Official Plan meeting By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The third public gathering to create a new Official Plan (OP) for the Town of Carleton Place was held upstairs at the town hall on March 5, during a meeting of the planning and protection committee, which was chaired by Coun. Doug Black. Residents were given an opportunity to voice their concerns regarding the wording of the document with Pierre Mercier and Jane Almond, planning consultants with McIntosh Perry, who were hired by the town to assist in preparing the OP. Mercier has been working with Lisa Young, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of planning and development, as well as council and other staff for more than a year to develop a 20-year plan for Carleton Place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to make sure we canvass as much of the opinion as possible from local residents to make sure the document we come up with at the end is very much reflective of community values,â&#x20AC;? said Mercier. Almond will be looking after the second part of the process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; renewal of the development permit bylaw (DPB). â&#x20AC;&#x153;These documents are what manage planning for the Town of Carleton Place,â&#x20AC;? said Mercier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are important documents because everything that happens on land is going to controlled by these documents in one form or another.â&#x20AC;? An OP is reviewed every five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the policy document,â&#x20AC;? said Mercier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to be consistent with provincial policy in terms of how we deal with growth, how we deal with environment, etc.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also sets the stage for all the other rules the town will use to make sure future development in Carleton Place is done in accordance
with local and provincial standards,â&#x20AC;? he continued. Some changes have been made since the first draft of OP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are trying to do with this plan is refocus long-term development in Carleton Place to the downtown core,â&#x20AC;? said Mercier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is wrapped around it and all policies are intended to try to revitalize the area; to basically make what makes Carleton Place unique amongst other downtowns really stand out.â&#x20AC;? OP details Mercier explained the OPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mississippi district, the older, historical side of Carleton Place, is composed of: â&#x20AC;˘ Downtown district â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Focus on preserving and revitalizing the central business district. â&#x20AC;˘ Mississippi district residential â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Policies apply to the traditional residential area. â&#x20AC;˘ Mississippi district thoroughfares â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Policies designed to improve linkages to the downtown core. â&#x20AC;˘ Mississippi district strategic properties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Identifies specific parcels with the potential for development supportive of the downtown core. â&#x20AC;˘ Mississippi district transitional sector â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Areas adjacent to the downtown core where future development will provide opportunities for complementary design and uses. The Mississippi district provides for a mix of residential, commercial and recreational uses while maintaining the character of individual neighbourhoods. It encourages new medium and high density residential uses to help stimulate commercial and recreational activities in the downtown core. The rehabilitation/conversion of vacant buildings is encouraged, while protecting the heritage character of the district. Moreover, it provides
opportunities for new waterfront linkages, enhances pedestrian circulation and orientation, encourages cultural activities and facilities, and promotes and supports the protection of urban street trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Highway district is what people see when they first come to Carleton Place,â&#x20AC;? said Mercier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big box stores, for example.â&#x20AC;? It supports a diverse range of commercial uses that meet the existing and future needs of the community and reduces the need for residents to shop elsewhere. High aesthetic quality is promoted in all commercial areas that reflect the local character, and the needs of local commercial uses to attract visitors and tourists are addressed. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, it minimizes the impacts of commercial uses on adjacent sensitive land uses. There are four Employment districts in town, which support the expansion of the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment base by way of flexible land use policies that recognize the dynamic nature of a changing regional economy. Employment districts provide for commercial and industrial uses that require larger land areas, as well as ensure access to efficient transportation links. They provide industrial development opportunities that will not result in land use conflicts, enhance economic development opportunities within town, and minimize the impacts of commercial uses on adjacent sensitive land uses. Residential districts promote sustainable, efficient and diverse residential neighbourhoods; offer a diverse range of housing types and densities; and provide for a range of uses (residential, parks, pathways and recreational facilities, schools and places of worship, home occupations, community and social service
facilities, and existing local commercial uses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also trying to put a focus on green infrastructure and municipal amenities,â&#x20AC;? said Mercier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This speaks to parks, trails and protecting the environment. However, it also speaks to roads, sewers, pipe services and more. Therefore, we put this all into one section to move the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies towards something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greener.â&#x20AC;? He said all this is going to take awhile to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The OP is very big on supporting all development having to bring in pedestrian and cycling components â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a consideration of the development approval,â&#x20AC;? noted Mercier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Developers will need to play ball with the municipality in order to get their development approval.â&#x20AC;? Built infrastructure includes: construction and maintenance of roads, bridges and structures; supply and distribution of water; collection and treatment of wastewater; management of storm water; collection and disposal of solid waste; construction and maintenance of energy distribution facilities; and communication and telecommunication infrastructures. The OP also encompasses general design policies, implementation policies and plan administration. Questions and comments For the most part the tone remained civil during the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions and comments segment. Resident Mark Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no stranger to Mercier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had a long list of questions regarding See OP page A/CP11

“That’s a question I can’t really address,” responded Mercier. “What counter measures are there for an applicant to ensure the process under the DPB is followed?” questioned Katsoulis. “If I believe an application is complete, but town staff does not believe it is complete, what measures are there to facilitate my application moving forward?” “I am assuming you went to see your councillor and brought it up,” said Mercier. “It’s an internal administration issue,” he continued. As an applicant, Mercier told Katsoulis he has a right of appeal. “You appeal it to the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) and demonstrate to them that it is complete,” he said. “Can staff just make up their own rules?” asked Katsoulis. “No, there is a process that is established,” said Mercier. However, he noted administrative issues, resources and workload always come into play. “It’s not a well-oiled machine all the time,” said Mercier. “There are human factors that come into play. The intent is to try and get it done efficiently. Forty-five days is a legal, hard number. If you submitted your application and you don’t have your answer within 45 days you can go to the OMB.” “I am going through this now,” said Katsoulis. “This process, the power that has been given to staff does not make things efficient.” He said more red tape has been brought to him, in order to slow down his application. “I have evidence of this,” said Kat-
soulis. “What changes are being made to speed things up so people can get on with developing and stop being bogged down?” Mercier asked Katsoulis about his development, who said it was zoned highway commercial. “You are not happy with how the system’s functioning,” said Mercier. “That’s an administrative problem. However, I’ve heard the opposite from a lot of other developers.” “Obviously, you weren’t here at the last meeting,” said Katsoulis. “I wasn’t here, but I have heard the opposite,” said Mercier. “It’s a town that’s growing. There are a lot of development pressures here, and I’m not surprised things get bogged down.” He promised to take Katsoulis’ comments to heart. “I believe there are changes to be made,” said the developer. “The OP lays the framework (what you can and cannot do), but the development permit bylaw is yet to come,” stressed Mercier, “and there will be public meetings.” Carleton Place staff has been working with the town’s current DPB for the last three years. “I think developers should have more input,” said Katsoulis. “You will,” said Almond. “We are going to have an open house. You can come up and talk to us and give us specific examples so we can go back and tweak the document and make it work in a more efficient manner.” In the next couple of months there will be an open house on the development permit bylaw, said Mercier. In regards to affordable housing, Coun. Jerry Flynn asked if 10 per cent of housing construction is to be designated affordable.
“The target is 10 per cent affordable,” said Mercier. “However, I think just about every house in Carleton Place is affordable because you have to take into consideration the Ottawa market.” “Well affordable means nothing without identifying what affordable is,” said Flynn. Mercier said a figure is provided by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. “It’s very well known that contractors can’t afford to build affordable housing,” said Flynn. “That’s why we don’t have affordable housing for seniors in Carleton Place. There is no money to build affordable housing, so let’s not fool people here.” “We have to meet the provincial policy statement, councillor,” clarified Mercier. “We have to establish a target and that is what the OP is doing.” Flynn said affordable housing for seniors is at the top of the town’s priority list. The next step “After tonight’s public meeting, we will be looking at whatever other revisions we have to do to the document,” said Mercier, “but essentially it will be ready for adoption by council.” Once council adopts it, it would either go to the province for final approval or it will go to Lanark County for final approval. “Lanark County is in the process of doing an OP,” said Mercier, “and once it has its plan, it would approve all the local municipal plans in Lanark County.” “It is an important process,” Mercier said of the OP. “Your comments are appreciated.” Please visit the Town of Carleton Place website for updates on the process to create a new Official Plan for the community.

11th annual Summer Hospital Golf Classic set for June 21 The 11th annual Summer Hospital Golf Classic to raise funds for the Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor will be held this year on Friday, June 21 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club. A number of generous sponsors have already agreed to support the tournament, which is the Foundation’s largest annual fundraising event. Last year’s tournament raised $80,000 for the purchase of essential medical equipment. “Sponsors are essential to the success of our golf tournament,” said Almonte General Hospital/ Fairview Manor (AGH/FVM) Foundation Executive Director Gerry Huddleston. “Many sponsorship opportunities are available and sponsorship funds go directly to help purchase medical equipment, which is not funded by any level of government.” Mr. Huddleston, golf committee chair Guido Patrice, key tournament organizer Bert McIntyre and other members of the golf team are now
approaching potential sponsors for this year’s tournament. Registration for the tournament is $125 per player, and includes 18 holes of golf, a power cart, a served chicken dinner and barbecue lunch. The action gets under way with a shotgun start at noon. Golfers will have free access to the driving range, putting greens and chipping area at the Canadian prior to the tournament.
The event can accommodate 216 golfers, and up to 80 additional guests for dinner. Another highlight of the day will be the live and silent auctions of a wide array of donated items. “Register early to avoid disappointment, because our tournament always sells out,” said Mr. Huddleston. For more information, or to register, please contact Gerry Huddleston at 613-256-2514, ext. 2297 or by email at ghuddleston@agh-fvm.com. Mr. Huddleston can also be reached at home by calling 613-256-7924. Foundation Development Coordinator Kathy Brooks can be reached at 613-256-254, ext. 2296 or by email at kbrooks@ agh-fvm.com. You can also register at www.agh-fvm.com/agh/ ecommerce/Donate_campaign.asp “This is our best fundraiser of the year,” said Mr. Huddleston. “Support quality care, close to home by supporting the Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor.”

MARCH
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”.

Seymour Ethel Irene Seymour (née White)
(aka Renée Marquette) Peacefully, in her 101st year on March 16th. Born in December 1912, Ethel led a rich and colourful life shortly after she met her true love, Harold, at Danforth Technical High School in Toronto. Harold made his living in show business with a series of dance acts, and in 1934, during Prohibition, they were secretly married in Montreal between supper-club shows at an illegal speakeasy run by gangsters; their best man was the club’s bouncer. Upon returning home from World War II, Harold, who was in the Tin Hats Entertainment Corp of the Canadian Army, formed a dance/ marionette supper-club act with Ethel, and became known as Hal & Renée Marquette and Their Marionettes. (Think Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers with puppets.) They toured many supper clubs and vaudeville theatres throughout Ontario, Quebec, and New York State in the 1940s and ‘50s. With the huge expansion of the automobile industry after WWII, the Shell Oil Company hired them to help open up service stations throughout North America. And so they became a touring marionette road show, much like the ancient Punch & Judy puppet shows roaming England 200 years ago but instead operating out of the side of an early version of an 18-wheeler. As well, they played countless Fall fairs in Ontario, Quebec and BC on behalf of Shell, including in Toronto the Royal Winter Fair, the Sportsman Show and the CNE. Hal and Renée Marquette were pioneers in Canadian television and helped to inaugurate the CBC’s English-language TV network on its first day of broadcasting, September 8, 1952, with their marionette act. As well, they became the puppeteers for the popular Canadian Howdy Doody TV Show, which began airing in November 1954 and lasted five years. Ethel leaves two children, three grand-daughters, nine great grandchildren, and very recently one great, great grand-daughter. Harold died in 1980. Her daughter Marilyn and son Chris (Perth) would like to thank Hilltop Nursing Home in Merrickville, Ontario, and the Carolina Retirement Suites in Perth, Ontario, for their excellent care of Ethel over the past five years. Services were held privately for the family. Those wishing may consider a contribution in Ethel’s memory to the Arts or Theatre program of choice. Arrangements are in the care of Blair & Son Funeral Directors, Perth. Blair & Son Funeral Home, Perth (613) 267-3765 to send your condolences or for further information visit www.blairandson.com

program, Families Get Together. Families Get Together is a sevenweek program that promotes healthy cooking and eating, physical activity, and positive selfesteem. You and your child(ren) aged six to nine will come together to enjoy a fun-filled and active program,

If you already have an incorporated business or you’re about to start one, you can choose how you wish to be compensated – by way of a salary (including bonuses) or through dividends from shares you own in your company. The choice is up to you – but there are a number of factors that you should know about so you can make the most informed choice. Salary • A salary is a deduction to your company but it will also attract both employer and employee Canada Pension Plan (CPP) premiums and, in some provinces, payroll taxes. • A salary generates Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution room, CPP benefits and is necessary if you wish to establish an Individual Pension Plan (IPP). Dividends • Dividends are paid out of after-tax corporate profits. Corporate income in excess of the small business deduction (SBD) limit ($500,000 federally and in most provinces) is subject to higher corporate tax rates. Dividends paid out of dollars above the SBD are eligible for a more advantageous personal tax rate. Dividends paid with dollars taxed at the lower SBD rate are noneligible, resulting in a lower

Dividend Tax Credit for the shareholder and, consequently, attracting more personal tax than an ‘eligible’ dividend.
and could more than offset the reduction in future CPP retirement benefits – if you use the correct investment strategy.
A mix of salary and dividends • In the past, tax professionals advised business owners to pay themselves at least enough salary to reduce corporate profits below the SBD limit. But corporate taxes have now been lowered to a point where more tax can be deferred by leaving income in the corporation – so it can make sense to retain high tax rate income inside the corporation for investment. To the extent that you require cash on a regular basis, salary is still the preferred compensation choice until corporate income is reduced to the SBD limit.
Other considerations • Creditor protection – many provinces have rules preventing professional corporations from using holding companies or trusts as creditor proofing strategies so it may be prudent to hold a significant portion of retirement assets in registered IPPs or Guaranteed Income Funds (GIFs). Addressing compensation issues now will improve your ongoing financial stability and retirement nest egg. Your professional advisor can help make the best choices for you.
A pure dividend strategy • Taking compensation solely as dividends means that you will not be able to contribute to investments held in an RRSP, will lose access to CPP disability benefits and may not qualify for group disability plans. This strategy can, however, allow more income to be saved inside the corporation than could otherwise be contributed to investments held within a RRSP or to an IPP

Increase the Maplelope population and support the Chamber of Commerce By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Have you spotted the Maplelope? One way to help the local Maplelope population is to purchase a tree through the Mississippi Mills Chamber of Commerce annual tree sale. For those unfamiliar with the creature, the Maplelope was first spotted last year around sugaring-off season, when he became the mascot for the tree sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Maplelope is a delightful creature who just wants everyone to plant trees and have fun,â&#x20AC;? said Chamber president Kris Riendeau. She explained the tree sale was started 14 years ago by Al Potvin and last year the campaign needed a little â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sprucingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were lucky because local artist Sam Hamilton was the first person to spot him and he was able to do some wonderful drawings,â&#x20AC;? said Riendeau. She thinks the Maplelope, who is specific to Mississippi Mills, would encourage local residents to purchase a tree so he has more to hide in or so he can eat the leaves. A family of Maplelopes might also be close by so more trees are needed! For the Chamber tree sale there are a wide variety of trees to purchase including flowering, shade and fruit trees. To look at the different tree options,

EMC Business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce has a new staff member. Catherine Kuhn joined the business organization on Feb. 12 as office administrator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very excited to have Catherine join our team,â&#x20AC;? said Chamber manager Jackie Kavanagh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her experience in retail and as a business owner will be a great asset in helping us to develop programming for our members.â&#x20AC;? Kuhn lives with her family in Beckwith Township.

Above, with MacLaren and Elliott is Fairview Manor director of resident care, Pam Murphy, third from left; AGH president and chief executive officer, Mary Wilson Trider, second from right; and hospital board member and finance committee chair Susan Muston.
MacLaren tours riding with Ontario PC Party Health Critic EMC News – Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren hosted the Ontario PC Party Health Critic and Deputy Leader MPP Christine Elliott on a tour of Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding on March 15. The MPP from Whitby-Oshawa got a firsthand look at the exciting developments taking place at Almonte General Hospital and saw how it’s blazing a trail for others to follow. The MPPs were led on a tour of the facility by hospital chief executive officer (CEO) Mary Wilson Trider, and members of the hospital’s board of directors and staff. “I wanted Christine to see first hand the good things that are happening at the Almonte General Hospital,” said MacLaren. “The Almonte General Hospital was identified by NRC Picker as one of Ontario’s top performing hospitals. This rating was for acute care patient satisfaction and for the number of emergency department patients who said they would recommend the hospital to their family and friends.” Friday’s tour also gave Elliott and MacLaren an opportunity to discuss with the hospital’s leadership team the Ontario PC’s recently released white paper: ‘Paths to Prosperity: A Healthier Ontario.’ “They are a leader among small
hospitals in Ontario and have set an example of how integral a dynamic health care facility is to the success of a growing community like Almonte,” added MacLaren. After the Almonte General Hospital visit, MPPs Elliot and MacLaren met with about 15 parents, private caregivers and concerned citizens to talk about autism. The discussion dealt mostly with the overwhelming emotional and financial stress on parents and the grossly inadequate support from government in the form of treatment programs and financial aid. “As a society, I believe we have a moral obligation to help those who are unable to help themselves,” said MacLaren. “I’ve spoken to many parents with special needs children and most are having a hard time getting them into programs and are facing real financial hardships. We must do better.” To read about innovative ideas for our healthcare system, download ‘Paths to Prosperity: A Healthier Ontario’ and the 11 other policy discussion papers released by the Ontario PCs in recent months, please visit: www. jackmaclarenmpp.com.

Peter Karp and Sue Foley bring show to Almonte March 23 blew the roof off the joint. The chemistry between the two is palpable. Delaney and Bonnie? Conway and Loretta? More like Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. The whole point is that, while onstage, they’re the equal, in their chosen Americana genre, of anybody. It’s magic.” Sue Foley and Peter Karp will perform Saturday, March 23 at Almonte Old Town Hall (14 Bridge St.). For tickets, please visit the Mississippi Mills Music Works website at www. mmmusicworks.ca. About the artists Peter Karp is a gifted, award winning singer/songwriter and American troubadour. He’s a master songsmith, an accomplished guitarist and pianist who repeatedly transfixes audiences across the US, Canada and Europe. Critics compare his songwriting to John
Hiatt and John Prine with impressive guitar and slide licks infused by his love of Albert King and Elmore James. Karp personifies the amorphous Americana sound, seamlessly blending roots music with a high sense of entertainment. Sue Foley from Ottawa, Canada is considered to be one of the finest blues/roots artists working today. At 16 she embarked on her professional career. By 21 she was living in Austin, TX and recording for legendary blues label Antone’s Records. Throughout the 90s she took to the road with her paisley Telecaster and honed her craft working/sharing the stage with such artists as BB King, Buddy Guy, Lucinda Williams and Tom Petty. In 2000, after moving back to Canada Sue won the prestigious Juno award and a record breaking 17 Maple Blues Awards. For more information about the duo, visit www.karpfoley.com.

EMC Entertainment – On the heels of their second CD release ‘Beyond the Crossroads,’ and nine months on tour which brought them across the U.S., Canada and Europe, Peter Karp and Sue Foley will preview a new show, ‘High Spirit Blues’ in Almonte March 23. ‘High Spirit Blues’ is a show that will be featured in churches, town halls and festivals across America and will bring together elements of blues and roots music with high-energy spirituals. “Our aim is to uplift people,” says Foley. “We want everyone walking out feeling better than when they came in. We’re writing songs with themes in mind. Positivity, renewal, absolution.” “These times are trying – in the heart and in the streets,” added Karp. “Time to fire up the amps and blow heat.” In a love concert review, Goldmine magazine said, “When Peter Karp and Sue Foley came to town and plugged in, they

New Almonte teen drama club seeks members MADD sends sobering message to local high school students tlepack@perfprint.ca
EMC Lifestyle – Drama helps you become a different person and entertain others all while having fun at the same time. A new Teen Drama Club in Almonte aims to help youth gain courage, optimism, hope, strong work ethic, honesty, perseverance and improve their interpersonal skills. Davie Hartley is the group leader and started the initiative to ensure all local teens had a place to express themselves through drama. “There are some teens that have difficulty getting involved due to different challenges. I wanted to start a program for teens who felt that they can’t participate in mainstream drama programs,” said Hartley. “Our club identifies any challenges the teens might have and work around those challenges.” The group started in January and the first month focused on group development and February dealt with story development, script writing, lighting and staging. The five youth presently in

Art /
Studio 9, which has been generously donated by the owner. There is no cost to join and the club is open to any youth in the area ages 16 to 19. Hartley has also partnered with a number of different local businesses to provide workshops for the youth involved in the club. The workshops include: set design backdrops by Sarah Moffat of S.M. Art/Studio 9, shadow puppetry by Megan Spenser of Pond Lily Puppets, promotional creations by Jeff Banks of JB Arts and more are planned in the near future. Each of the workshops will be incorporated into the yet unfinished production, for example. they will be using the shadow puppet techniques they learn from Spenser for part of the show. Hartley assures that no experience is necessary and encourages interested youth to come on out. “It’s a fun time for the kids,” he said. The goal is to present their performance in June at a yet to be determined location, after months of rehearsal and planning. For more information on the club, contact Hartley at hartley.davie43@gmail.com.
EMC News – On March 1, the students of Almonte District High School (ADHS) were shown a presentation by the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada’s school assembly program; with guest speaker André Laflamme who is the bilingual school outreach field representative for MADD. This school production communicates with the youth by using their language and scenario’s they could or have already found themselves in, and encourages them to make smart decisions. The MADD organization’s main focus is to prevent drinking and driving whether it’s by calling a taxi, a trustworthy friend, a parent/guardian or even staying the night. All grade 7 to 12 students gathered in the school gymnasium and were shown a short but valuable video involving a group of teenage friends, a cottage, alcohol, and one bad decision that altered everything. The video ended with three
very real, painful stories of families who were torn apart by either their own or other’s poor decisions to drink and drive. Glancing around the room you could see many students were trying their best to hold back tears; it was apparent that many were deeply touched by the harsh realization of the video. When the presentation was over, the lights came back on and a few of the teachers shared their own personal stories of how drunk drivers have affected their lives. These stories were touching as well, as many don’t think these things can happen to them but to hear someone from your own home town experience such horrific incidents was a brutal awakening. On behalf of our school here at ADHS we thank MADD for sharing such an honest, moving presentation. It has helped many students come to a realization and will positively affect their decisions in the future. Submitted by Jessica Dalgity of Almonte District High School.

MVTM set to launch ‘150 Years of Canadian Weddings’ exhibit vernissage April 6 EMC Events – The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM) has several remarkable wedding dresses tucked away in its collection. When the museum’s curator attended a local fashion show that featured only wedding dresses, inspiration struck, and a new exhibit was born. Entitled, ‘150
Years of Canadian Weddings,’ it showcases a unique selection of gowns, representing the decades from the 1860s to present day and will be at MVTM from March 19 to May 18. At the vernissage on Saturday, April 6 from 2 to 4 p.m., Rev. Heather Kinkaid will give a talk on the evolution of marriage. Rev. Kinkaid
owns the earliest dress in the collection, a brown two-piece ensemble from 1865, which is in remarkable condition. Another highlight is the Rosamond family wedding veil and dress, worn by several generations of brides from the family that originally owned the woolen mill which now houses the museum. A beau-
tiful handmade dress from the 1920s was never worn, the groom leaving for the west when his future bride was too ill with the measles to meet him at the altar. Although most of the dresses in the exhibit are delicate shades of white, there are some very attractive coloured styles, representing the more practical
decades of the ‘30s and ‘40s. A stunning dress from the ‘50s was worn again in the ‘80s by the daughter of the original bride. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday. Admission is $5 and members are free. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum.

EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A small contingent from this area represented our District 7A Senior Games Association very well at the 55+ Winter Games at Huntsville on Feb. 26 to 28. Four ten-pin bowlers and one skater competed in tough weather conditions with the bowlers winning a gold medal in close competition against 10 teams. They had to travel to Barrie to play while George Wilson skated in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;predicted timeâ&#x20AC;? competition at Huntsville. More than 900 seniors who stayed at the Deerhurst Skyline Resort ,competed in 10 winter sports which had to be played in many different venues. The closing ceremonies were held at the Deerhurst Skyline Lodge. Guy Chaput, president of our local senior games association, reported the bowlers bowled 286 pins above average to win the two-day competition. Members of the team are Ray Henderson, Ken Brown, Brian Truelove and
When he started out, he wanted to work overseas in developing/ third world countries but he came to the realization there were people here at home who needed help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of things we can do here. We need to start locally and then go globally. I hope to motivate the students,â&#x20AC;? said Ferguson. His first job after teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college was as a principal at a school in Kenya where he helped develop plans and restructure the school. He also still travels overseas to help out in other schools and was recently in Haiti. He has also been the principal at Pakenham Public School, vice-principal at R. Tait McKenzie Public School and A. Lorne Cassidy in Stittsville, and before his administration positions he also taught at various local schools.

Wikipedia says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A team is comprises of a group of people linked in a common purpose.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It goes on to explain that a group in itself does not necessarily constitute a team. Teams normally have members with complementary skills and generate synergy through a coordinated effort, which allows each member to maximize his/her strengths. Team members need to learn how to help one another, help other team members realize their true potential, and create an environment that allows everyone to go beyond their limitations.

Certified cancer coach offers sessions in Perth beginning March 26 By CAITIE McRAE
EMC News – Not everyone can make a positive out of their personal hardships. But Michelle Thibodeau has done just that. Thibodeau, 53, is a registered holistic nutritionist in Stittsville, something she pursued after stints as an administrative assistant and personal trainer. At first glance, some would say her inspiration must have been her healthy, active lifestyle. But it wasn’t. It was her husband, Ottawa firefighter Patrick Thibodeau, who succumbed to brain cancer in 2006 after battling harder against the disease than any flames he ever fought. After his death, she was perusing through emails from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, the institute where she obtained her certification, when she spotted it: a newsletter about the National Association of Professional Cancer Coaches. And that’s when Thibodeau decided to become a cancer coach. “When my husband was ill, we were constantly weighing our options, deciding which treatment approach to take,” Thibodeau said. She adds that Patrick was far from the stereotypical coach potato male. He was a firefighter, after all; a fit, healthy eater who understood the importance a healthy lifestyle has on the immune system. Likening that sentiment, Thibodeau decided to combine her expertise in nutrition with her own experience with cancer. But it’s far from a simple personal endeavor. Thibodeau says it’s filling a void in Ottawa’s healthcare. “I’d say 95 per cent of doctors aren’t trained in nutrition,” she said. When asked if it should be mandatory for nutrition courses to be implemented in medical schools, she affirmed they “absolutely” should, adding that having a strong immune system is the pivotal requirement for preventing, and defeating, diseases like cancer. This can be done, according to Thi-
bodeau, through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes. After five days of intensive work at the Maplesoft Centre in Ottawa, Thibodeau completed her training to become a certified cancer coach. The training program, started originally by a nutritionist, involved learning specific protocols for dealing with cancer scenarios. A grueling treatment like chemotherapy, for instance, is widely known for its debilitating side effects, something Thibodeau said greatly compromises a cancer victim’s immune system and ability to fight off the disease. In this case, many are left sicker than they were before. But Thibodeau isn’t ignorant to the agonizing pain and horrors cancer victims can suffer through on a daily basis. She just suggests there are better remedies than the accepted approach. Her son Sean, 29, was diagnosed with melanoma in June 2011. After inhospital chemotherapy, he continued the intensive treatments from home, but had to stop. “He was feeling like crap,” Thibodeau said. “He was too tired to do anything, wasn’t able to see his friends or go out at all.” He decided to give up on chemo (“Entirely his choosing,” Thibodeau said) and soon after she completed her training as a cancer coach. Sean was open to holistic treatments, so she decided to put what she learned into action. Sean had a PET (positron emission tomography) scan two weeks ago. He’s cancer free. Thibodeau attributes the good news to her son changing his eating habits from that of a typical twenty-something-year-old to being more conscious of his meals, lifestyle and adopting healthier eating habits.

Stittsville nutritionist Michelle Thibodeau will be offering cancer coaching sessions at Lotus Wings holistic centre in Perth, beginning March 26. Thibodeau is the only certified cancer coach in Ottawa. als in the health field, from physicians to psychiatrists. “More people are looking into it because they want to get better, not be made sicker,” she said. Echoing Thibodeau’s theories on strengthening the immune system through natural means is Denise Carpenter-Ducharme, a Reiki master and co-owner of Lotus Wings holistic centre in Perth. Battling lupus and chronic food al-
lergies, Carpenter-Ducharme turned to exercise, diet and vitamins as a way to ease her symptoms. It helped. But when she began practicing Reiki, the difference was like night and day. “The healing was exponential,” she said. Seventeen years later, CarpenterDucharme is still dedicated to Reiki and practices a holistic approach to life, maintaining that Lotus Wings be a
cooperative wellness facility. “We have practitioners doing everything from massage therapy to esthetics to Reiki,” she said. And because of that, Lotus Wings is opening its doors to Michelle Thibodeau and her cancer coaching sessions for the public. A non-profit community program, Thibodeau will be conducting these sessions over the course of three Tuesdays, beginning March 26. “It just fit perfectly,” CarpenterDucharme said, in regards to letting the center host Thibodeau’s sessions. “Of course we can do this. This is something we can give back to the people this impacts.” To register in advance for the sessions, go to Thibodeau’s website at www.nuhealings.com. Carpenter-Ducharme applauds Thibodeau’s cancer coaching, saying “If I was ever diagnosed with cancer, I’d use Michelle’s approach.” Both women are hopeful that holistic healing will become a more accepted route as the years go on. Thibodeau theorizes that any skepticism comes from people not caring enough about their health until they realize they don’t have it. “A lot of people don’t value their lives as much as they should,” Thibodeau said. While the cancer coaching sessions for the public are for a limited time, Thibodeau does private coaching as well. She’s the National Association of Professional Cancer Coaches’ only certified coach in Ottawa and her coaching consists of 18 hours and follow up sessions once a month for up to five years. Asked what her late husband Patrick would think of her endeavours, she’s cheerful in her response. “I think he’d be very, very happy for me,” she said assuredly.

Stompin’ Tom made impression in Carleton Place Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
those years as he drifted across the country, working here and there and trying to make a name for himself as a musician. During his stay in Carleton Place, before the customers arrived to enjoy their seven-ounce draft and pickled eggs, Connors swept the floors and did odd jobs around the sprawling threestorey hotel.
R0011969873_0314
Popular song He evidently enjoyed Carleton Place and its people too. He wrote his popular Ottawa Valley tune ‘Big Joe Mufferaw’ during his stay. Carleton Place is prominently featured in the lyrics, along with several other valley communities. The day after Connors’ passing, messages were attached to the wrought iron railings and bouquets of flowers were placed outside the restaurant and hotel complex which is now generally known as Carleton Heritage. Only the attached pub, Guido’s, is currently operating. The façade of the former Mississippi Hotel is the same, but the place has undergone major renovations since the late Lorraine Lemay (she was a widow at the time) sold the hotel. It is currently owned by the Seccaspina family who are in the midst of making more improvements. Amid the flood of publicity that occurred following Connors’ passing, some have suggested he “saved the place.” That isn’t literally true of course. It was private money that saved the historic building from demolition in the 1990s. Connors did have enough affection for the place to send a letter(s) deploring the possible destruction of the then derelict hotel. Last week I spoke to some of those who remember Stompin’ Tom’s brief stay in Carleton Place in the 1960s and his subsequent appearance there
in the 1990s. Carleton Place native Jerry Flynn, now a town councillor, remembers sneaking into the hotel and seeing Connors perform. Flynn says Connors was a quirky and unusual character even then. A staunch supporter of his native land, Connors sent his six Juno awards back. He opposed the organization presenting awards to Canadian artists who lived and earned most of their living outside this country. He also had a memorable dispute with the CBC over a television musical special. Frank LeBlanc, a Nova Scotia native, was a young soldier working at a communications site in the district when he bivouacked at the Mississippi Hotel in the ‘60s. He remembers Connors, who was wearing his trademark Stetson and cowboy boots, mainly in his role as a general handyman around the hotel. LeBlanc, who met his future wife Wendy during his stay in Carleton Place (she is now the town’s mayor), calls Connors “a pleasant guy” with a “dry sense of humour.” He says the fledging entertainer had obviously been through tough times. But he enjoyed drinking a few beers and “shooting the breeze” with people in the beverage room. Bob White, now the senior facilities operator for the Carleton Place Department of Recreation and Culture, vividly recalls Connors’ return. He performed at the local arena in the early 1990s. “At intermission one of Stompin’ Toms’ road crew came running into the (arena) office. He asked if we had any super glue.” “I think we might,” White told the man. “Let me have a look.” “Bring it to the dressing room if you do,” the fellow replied, scurrying off. White located a tube of the substance and headed to the referee’s dressing room where Connors was taking his break. “He cracked something on his
guitar and he used the super glue to repair it. “When I went into the room all you could see was cigarette smoke and Moosehead beer,” he laughs. Stompin’ Tom was a heavy smoker and drinker. The glue proved to be the solution. Connors was back on stage for the second set, his trusty guitar in hand! Everyone who enjoyed his music has their favourite song. It isn’t ‘The Hockey Song’ or ‘Big Joe Mufferaw’ I will
remember when I think of Stompin’ Tom. Instead it will be ‘Tillsonburg’ his ode to his time working in the tobacco fields of southwestern Ontario. Early in my newspaper career I covered the Ontario Flue Cured Tobacco Growers Marketing Board in Tillsonburg for the daily St. Thomas TimesJournal. Connors’ meaningful lament “Tillsonburg – my back still aches when I hear that word” will always resonate with me, mainly because it
is so accurate. There’s no question he was an original entertainer and a true patriot. His contribution is appreciated by millions of Canadians and he will be long remembered. As one of the handwritten signs in front of the former Mississippi Hotel says, “Keep on stompin’ Tom – RIP!” If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

EMC Lifestyle – Last week they eulogized a Canadian entertainment icon in Peterborough. The hockey arena in the Liftlock City was jammed to the rafters for a memorial service for music legend Stompin’ Tom Connors. Fans came from across the country to celebrate his life and career. In the wake of his passing, at age 77 from kidney failure on March 6, a host of communities instantly laid claim to being the birthplace of Connors’ success. From Timmins and Toronto, to Kemptville and Kazabazua, to his actual birthplace Saint John, New Brunswick and the hamlet where he grew up (Skinner’s Pond, Prince Edward Island) everyone wanted a piece of his success story. It’s true that Connors passed through and performed in all of the places that recently trumpeted his presence. Like so many musicians and songwriters, his was not an instant success story. He often played for a pint of suds or a bed to sleep in. Long before the popularity of ‘The Hockey Song’ and ‘Bud the Spud’ a totally unknown Tom Connors arrived in Carleton Place (his nickname was bestowed later during a performance in Peterborough). Connors coasted into the town on fumes and immediately headed for a place that was within his comfort zone. The local hotel! With his guitar case under his arm and empty pockets Connors prevailed upon David and Lorraine Lemay, the then owners of the Mississippi Hotel, for a chance to earn a dollar or two, a bottle of beer and a soft bed. Like so many others Lorraine Lemay (she also owned the Kemptville Hotel where Connors later played) took pity on the aspiring country musician. He was soon gracing the small stage in the downtown Carleton Place landmark. There’s a debate over the year. But based on my interviews for this column the majority opinion is 1966 or 1967. His stay was a short one, no more than a month. That was typical for Connors in

1955 Lincoln Capri: Who owns this car today?
after that saw two more Lincolns cross the finish line first. The 1955 Lincolns were the last cars of this make to win the race. The origin of the Lincoln automobile is interesting. The car is named after Abraham Lincoln, who served as president during the American Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865. His term of office then, as now, was four years, and in the middle of
the war, he had to campaign for reelection. A young man named Henry Leland was old enough in 1864 to cast a vote for Lincoln, and he was elected to a second term. Fifty-six years later, that same Henry Leland began building cars named after his boyhood hero. The Lincoln automobile went into production in Detroit in 1920. Leland was now in his mid-70s,
and two years later sold the Lincoln Company to Henry Ford for eight million dollars. Edsel Ford (Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son) greatly influenced the beautiful styling of the Lincoln through the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;20s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s, and especially with the classic Lincoln Continental of 1940. The 1955 Lincoln Capri formerly owned by Bernie Cheeseman maintains that tradition of beautiful styling. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always looking for more stories. Email gilltsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Rideau Valley Conservation Area (RVCA) Foundation recently received a very welcome gift of $50,000 to finance its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy Streams, Natural Shorelinesâ&#x20AC;? project in the Rideau watershed. The funds, through the SHELL FuellingChange Program, were given as a result of some vigorous and successful online voting for our local project in competition with many others from across Canada. Thanks to the many votes we received from our community supporters. The Healthy Streams, Natural Shorelines project will provide coordinated, community-based stream and shoreline restoration to vulnerable or degraded watercourses. Most of the restoration opportunities (including large-scale tree planting, shoreline buffer plantings, erosion mitigation efforts, garbage cleanups and agricultural best management practices) have already been identified through years of monitoring by the City of Ottawa, the City Stream Watch program, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) and community groups. The Healthy Streams, Natural Shorelines project takes the next step and actually does the restoration work on the ground.

He bought the car in Los Angeles and drove it back to Hamilton. I went to look at it and we made a deal for $1,100. He told me he rides his bike in the summer and would never drive this car in the winter and so he put a for sale sign in the window. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It won first prize in its class in a car show in Toronto in 1976. I sold it to a fellow in Beamsville who was going to give it to his wife for a birthday present. I shed a tear when the new owner drove it away. I also gave him all the awards it had won. This model was the last Lincoln to win the Mexican Road Race, and Lincoln won that race four years in a row.â&#x20AC;? Lincoln brought out a new overheadvalve V8 engine in 1952. In that same year, the new Lincolns that competed in the Mexican Road Race achieved spectacular results. The first five cars finishing the race were Lincolns! This grueling race, also known as the Carrera Panamericana, was nearly two thousand miles long, stretching all the way from Juarez (south of El Paso) to the border of Guatemala. The following year, the first four winning cars were Lincolns. The year

Come and see why it’s better at
Even magic can’t save this flat comedy MOVIE: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone STARRING: Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin and Jim Carrey DIRECTOR: Don Scardino RATING: PG EMC Entertainment – The Incredible Burt Wonderstone wasn’t bad. It wasn’t good either. In fact it wasn’t really anything. It’s just kind of there in a state of perfect mediocrity. Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) headline the biggest magic show in Vegas. Their magical friendship began when they were kids, but the friendship, like the act, has grown sour. Anton is under appreciated and Burt’s become a colossal jerk. While Burt and Anton are doing the same old show Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) is wowing, shocking, and disturbing audiences on the streets of Vegas. So they try to freshen up the act, but it all falls apart. They split up and Burt finds himself unemployed and penniless. Burt hits rock bottom. He’s forgotten why he got into magic in the first place. If he’s going to get back on top he’s going to have to find the magic again. Fortunately he gets a little help from his former assistant Jane (Oliva Wilde), and legend-
BENNETTS
My Take ary magician Rance Holloway (Allan Arkin). With their help Burt might be able to pull off his biggest trick yet; a comeback. I’m not really sure what to say about The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. There isn’t anything about it that stands out as glaringly wrong or offensive. The story moves from A to B in a logical order, and all the actors deliver their lines and hit their marks. Yet there isn’t anything about it that stands out as brilliantly funny either. It’s a difficult thing to put my finger on, but it seems the film attempts to walk the line between an absurd comedy and a heartfelt relationship piece, and the two canceled each other out. There are mildly amusing moments, but no laugh-out-loud moments. There are some heartwarming moments, but nothing to truly move an audience. The whole thing just falls flat. I figured with a cast like this
Óä£ÓÊ 6Ê * Ê /

""- Ê ,"
MARK HASKINS
you couldn’t go wrong, and it didn’t go wrong, it just didn’t go right. The very thought of Steve Carell as an over-the-top Vegas stage magician is funny. Alan Arkin is just the man to play a retired yet legendary stage magician. Olivia Wilde is who I’d pick to be the beautiful assistant who dreams of becoming a magician. There’s no one better to play the second fiddle Anton Marvelton than Steve Buscemi, and Jim Carrey is the perfect person to parody the current crop of shock magicians. It’s a good cast, but it doesn’t work. It’s hard to say if they suffer from a lack of chemistry, or if it is their delivery, or simply the material they have to work with. I suspect it is a little of everything, and like the rest of the film they are all kind of flat. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone may not be good, and it may not be bad, but if it isn’t anything it isn’t worth your time. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

How to choose tomatoes from seed catalogues By ANKARET DEAN
EMC Lifestyle – Tomatoes, we are told, are the most favourite vegetable grown by gardeners in North America. This is partly because our climate is ideally suited for their growth, lots of warm sunshine and a long frost-free growing period. Because of this, there are now more than 700 varieties tomato which have been developed. Huge ones, tiny ones, early ones, late ones, disease-resistant ones are available and we still have the heritage ones. The choice is rather daunting and here are a few pointers to help you make up your mind. Firstly, you must decide if you want to grow tomatoes for canning and making paste, or for summer eating. If this is so do you like little cherry tomatoes or big ones for making sandwiches? Secondly you must consider the size of your garden, and the growth habits of the different varieties. Do you want huge sprawling plants or neat tidy ones? This can be understood by the terms determinate or indeterminate. For the big sprawling plants choose the indeterminate types, these keep growing and producing until frost, they fruit for a long period of time, and they need a lots of space. Alternatively the determinate tomatoes are much more easily contained; they grow in a shorter period , flower, fruit and then it is all over. This type is also good for people who like to can and make sauce as it is all over in a couple of weeks. Disease resistance is important as tomatoes are vulnerable to several diseases which will weaken the plant end reduce the crop. The seed catalogues list the type of disease for which the tomato will have resistance, by using a letter. For instance, verticullium is
(V), fusarium (F), root nematode (N), tobacco ,mosaic (T) and lastly attemaria (A.) The length of growing time until they bear fruit is also a consideration for those who live in the north where the frost-free days are fewer and the sun less strong. The number of days
Master Gardeners
is is always mentioned in the catalogues. Most of the cherry and beefsteak varieties are indeterminate, they grow huge and will fruit until frost. Heritage tomatoes are becoming a popular choice for many gardeners. They have not been developed
for their looks or disease resistance, but are well known for their delicious taste. Starting tomato seeds indoors is a popular hobby. One word of warning, do not start them too soon. Once they germinate and start growing they really need lots of room.

Emissions testing in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;New York State of Mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
of age or older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Brian, I always enjoy your column. My 2003 Pontiac Vibe has been riding really rough lately, with a virtually constant â&#x20AC;&#x153;drummingâ&#x20AC;? sound coming from the passengerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side mostly. On bigger road imperfections, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bumpâ&#x20AC;? is especially pronounced and unpleasant to car occupants. I had the car serviced at my GM dealer where I purchased the Vibe new. Both front lower control arm bushings were said to be separated from their sleeves. The bushings no longer available as separate parts, so both said control arms were replaced at a cost of $582.92. There seemed to be some slight improvement so I asked for a further assessment. I was then told the upper control arms would need to be replaced, $1,000. I hesitated on that work, so my question to you is whether the upper control arm replacement is the solution? Any advice from you would be appreciated. Alanâ&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes hard to hear a noise but usually always
Yours in service Brian Turner

to identifying vehicles failing due to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not-readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; status). This represents about 4.3 per cent of the total. Two reasons for their better pass performance might well be the fact that for most vehicles tested their system will overlook one of the 11 monitors inspected if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not reporting to be ready (for vehicles from the 1996 to 2001 model year it will overlook two) and this sampling includes vehicles far newer than Ontario. If you consider only those model years of New York vehicles that would have been tested under Ontario rules, their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not-readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; failure rate climbs to 5.3 per cent. Here the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not-readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; failure rate in January was 8.0 per cent and in February it was 6.7 per cent. For cost comparisons the fee for a New York state emissions combined with a safety inspection (both are required annually) is $21 in the upstate area and $37 in New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metro area. Remember in Ontario emissions testing is only required every two years for most vehicles seven years
impossible to see one. That being said, there are no front suspension upper control arms for your Vibe as it uses McPherson strut suspension without upper control arms. Your shop may be referring to rear upper arms, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for me to say. My advice would be; if there is no safety issue, no wheel alignment faults, nor suspension function problems associated with this noise nor any risk of sudden failure of a crucial part, you may want to live with the noise unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbearable to drive. A vehicle over 10 years of age is bound to have a few creaks and groans. If you decide to go ahead with this repair and, as this is the second time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked your techs to deal with this, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also suggest you ask your shop what they plan on doing if the noise isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resolved.

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As promised in a recent column, I did some digging into how other car owners are making out with their jurisdictionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; emission tests. As you may be aware the new testing process that Ontario introduced in January of this year has raised some concern due to higher than expected failure rates. The primary problem is that the vehiclesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on-board computers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t registering as being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the test and so the consumer is charged $35 and sent away with the instructions to â&#x20AC;&#x153;drive the vehicle some moreâ&#x20AC;? and to bring it back another day for retesting. I sent off some inquiries to other regions that use the same type of test. The good folks at the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles were kind enough to forward me a lengthy report on their emissions testing program covering the 2011 calendar year. New York State introduced our current style of testing in 2004 and they test vehicles as young as two years of age. Keep in mind that not every area of the state requires annual testing but they do test millions of light trucks and passenger vehicles every year. Of the just over two million light duty vehicles that were tested in the New York City Metro Area in 2011 for example, 88,503 failed the initial scan without having a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;check engineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; light on (this is the closest their report gets

Salvation Army continues to accept discontinued penny EMC News – The Salvation Army recently announced that it will collect discontinued pennies through the launch of its Penny Drive to help people in need across Canada. The public can donate their pennies to any one of the 120 participating Salvation Army thrift stores. Each penny will benefit community-based Salvation Army programs and services that provide food, shelter and general assistance to the vulnerable and marginalized. “With the end of the penny comes an opportunity to give back and provide hope and dignity for people in need,” says Graham Moore, territorial secretary for public relations and development for The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda. “A single penny may be seen as worthless, but we see value that can change lives.” With approximately 35 billion pennies currently in circulation in Canada, each penny donated
to The Salvation Army can add up to make a difference for local communities. Pennies will help The Salvation Army continue providing feeding assistance, shelter and other social services to Canada’s most vulnerable citizens. For example: • 35 billion pennies ($35,000,000) is enough to feed every homeless person in Canada for a year; • 7,200 pennies ($72) is the average cost a month to pay for diapers; • 88,700 pennies ($887) can pay the average monthly rent in Canada for a family in a twobedroom apartment; and • 130,800 pennies ($1,308) can pay the average yearly public transit pass per year in Toronto. “The pennies don’t even need to be rolled,” says John Kershaw, managing director for
The Salvation Army’s National Recycling Operations. “”You can bring them in bulk and we’ll take care of the rest.” The Salvation Army’s Penny Drive was developed by the organization in response to the federal government’s decision to take the coin out of circulation, and the penny’s final distribution on Feb. 4. Salvation Army thrift stores participating in the campaign will accept pennies over the next few months. In order to locate a penny donation site at one of our participating thrift stores, visit: www.SalvationArmy.ca. As the largest nongovernmental direct provider of social services in Canada, The Salvation Army provides aid to more than 1.8 million people each year. With your donation of pennies, you can help make the difference between someone receiving a warm meal or going hungry, sleeping outside in the cold or having a warm night of
sleep indoors. About The Salvation Army The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that began its work in Canada in 1882 and has grown to become the largest non-governmental direct provider of social services in the country. The Salvation Army gives hope and support to vulnerable people today and everyday in 400 communities across Canada and more than 120 countries around the world. The Salvation Army offers practical assistance for children and families, often tending to the basic necessities of life, providing shelter for homeless people and rehabilitation for people who have lost control of their lives to an addiction. When you give to The Salvation Army, you are investing in the future of marginalized and overlooked people in your community.

Romance fraud takes huge personal and financial toll EMC News – One of the fastest growing and most devastating fraud schemes in Canada is perpetrated through romance scams, according to members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) AntiRackets Branch. The romance scam has been around for decades. However, with the prominence of the internet and online dating sites being commonly advertised, it has opened up a large audience for scammers seeking vulnerable people wanting a relationship. It makes the scammer’s life easier because he or she can direct their efforts at building a friendship right away and not have to worry about finding the potential victim who is seeking a relationship. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) in 2012 there were 1,460 complaints from Canada of romance fraud. Of those, 1,047 victims were identified and their combined financial losses exceeded $14.8 million – more than any other identified financial loss due to fraud. Almost 70 per cent of all victims were in their 40s and 50s. “The impact of romance fraud is staggering, both personally and financially. All computer users should educate themselves and use best practices to ensure their personal and financial security,” said Deputy Commission Scott Tod, OPP Investigations and Organized Crime. “Only give out your personal information where it is absolutely necessary and when you trust the person you are dealing with.” Single or recently unattached people – often female – are the victims of criminals who initially approach their targets online. Usually this occurs through email blasts, social media platforms, or singles and dating-related ‘meet’
websites. In some cases, prolonged interaction with individuals has cost some victims tens of thousands of dollars before the relationship ends – usually after the culprit gets what they want. “Dating and romance scammers try to lower your defences by appealing to your romantic and compassionate side. Ask yourself – ‘Would someone I have never met really declare their love for me after only a few letters or emails?’ If the answer is no, report it to police,” stated Detective Inspector Paul Beesley, OPP Anti-Rackets Branch. Police add all fraud is under-reported. However, the romance scam not only affects a person financially, it is an emotional roller coaster. Therefore, a victim is dealing with emotional and financial losses leading to the crime being under-reported. If you suspect you or someone you know has been a victim of romance fraud, or if you have already sent funds, don’t be embarrassed – you’re not alone. Contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS). • Check website addresses carefully. Scammers often set up fake websites with very similar addresses to legitimate dating websites. • Never send money, or give credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust. A request to send money to a foreign country to someone you have never personally met should be a red flag. • Don’t give out any personal information in an email or when you are chatting online. Like any scam, use your computer to your advantage. Educate yourself. Check the name, the company name, and the addresses used. March is Fraud Prevention Month.

Marie Binelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newborn son was undergoing surgery for a hernia at CHEO during her speech at the launch of the We All Win lottery in support of the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Ottawa Hospital. She says the family is extremely grateful for all the support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that really is a wild week of winning,â&#x20AC;? said Cheryl Hammond, vice-president of corporate events for the CHEO foundation. Every grand-prize home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; located at 252, 254, 256 and 258 Keyrock Dr. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; comes completely furnished with appliances and furniture, thanks to Sears Home Store. People are welcome to drop by to see the homes from noon to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays. There is also an additional VIP early bonus draw. Ticket buyers who purchase by midnight on March 22 will be entered into a draw for 1,000 three-packs of bonus tickets. Those who purchase by midnight on May 10 will be entered into another early bird draw for $75,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The We All Win lottery is really aptly named,â&#x20AC;? said Matthew Sachs, with Urbandale Construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no better cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It benefits everyone in the community.â&#x20AC;? Doctors, nurses and staff at CHEO and the Ottawa Hospital see more than two million patients every year.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are here in our community when we need them,â&#x20AC;? said Vanessa Lee, a reporter and anchor with a local television station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All these reasons (are) why everyone in the community should be supporting (these hospitals).â&#x20AC;? Funds raised through the We All Win lottery help equip the staff with up-to-date equipment and supports life-saving research to find cures for diseases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, CHEO will always have a special place,â&#x20AC;? said Natalie Larocque, Sears regional vice-president of eastern Ontario. Her son was diagnosed with diabetes at a young age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a parent you have so many worries,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding the hospitals help provide peace of mind, knowing patients are getting the best possible care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have a story.â&#x20AC;? Tickets are $100 each or three for $250. They can be ordered online at weallwin.ca, at any major bank, the grand-prize townhomes, by mail or by phone at 613-737-4946 or 1-877-730-4946.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marie Binelli feels so strongly about CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good work that she took the time to speak at the launch of the We All Win lottery while her son was undergoing surgery at the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital. Her son Jacob was in surgery for a hernia on Friday, March 8, during the kickoff of the Ottawa Hospital and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario lottery in Kanata Lakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our son is currently receiving treatment at CHEO today,â&#x20AC;? said Binelli, adding she was able to be at the launch because she knew he was in capable hands. Jacob was due to be born on March 8 this year, but instead was born prematurely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our son was very young and sick in his early days,â&#x20AC;? said Binelli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful for all the support â&#x20AC;Ś for all the difference they have made in our lives,â&#x20AC;? she said. Binelli was given a CHEO bear for Jacob as she stepped away from the podium during the launch of the lottery.
