EMC News – An open meeting was held in Carleton Place May 1, in council chambers to discuss a major downtown development proposal.

Led by Volunder (Wally) Thorbjornsson, the $80 million project is being pitched by a local group of developers, landowners, shopkeepers, lawyers, realtors, designers and more.

“I appreciate we are doing this in a public meeting and that we have a full transparency of what is being done,” said the Icelandic developer. “It’s important to us!”

The players, calling themselves the Downtown Development Group (DDG), have offered to purchase municipal property and undertake significant commercial and residential development in the downtown area, involving re-facing, renovating and demolition and construction.

Properties include the old pawn shop on Franktown Road; train station (Coleman St.); SRC Music building (Moore St.); former Tim Hortons downtown; Beckwith St. lot beside the farmers’ market and the house beside it (39 Beckwith St.); the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery; Olym-

pia Restaurant building, 84 Mill St.; Allan St. (old curling club lot); garage building (Precision Automotive Service) at 215 Bridge St. and 210 Bridge St.; and neighbouring properties.

Bringing people downtown (urban living), the project would result in 237 residential units: 150 for sale and 87 new tenants, in addition to retail and services.

“I have attended many national BIA conferences,” said Cathie McOrmond, Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) manager. “It is emphasized that urban living in your downtown core will greatly benefit businesses and the area in general.”

The development proposal has been in the works for approximately six months.

“There needed to be a big picture solution to address the downtown core,” said Coun.

Louis Antonakos.

Antonakos is a founding member of the DDG. “One of the properties under consideration is next to one I own,” he said.

The politician declared a conflict of interest and did not participate in last week’s policy review committee meeting – as he has done during other discussions on the agenda item.

Thorbjornsson told the Canadian Gazette the proposal required a lot of thinking outside the box.

“I don’t see anyone else doing this,” he said.

Antonakos concurred. “This is a challenge and we needed a leader, someone who was driven,” said the councillor. “Wally stepped up.”

“I like challenges,” said Thorbjornsson, “and this concept piqued my interest.”

Both Antonakos and Thorbjornsson said the project is for the greater good of the community.

The developer has been working with town treasurer Phil Hogan to investigate the potential impact on the municipality’s tax base.

“There are two great gains for the town,” said Thorbjornsson. “The downtown core will be redeveloped and rejuvenated, and there will be huge financial gains for the town over the next few decades.”

Offer and conditions Discussion took place on a handful of properties within the DDG’s proposal.

The group would purchase Allan St. and Beckwith St. See PITCH page A/CP12

The local Business Improvement Association (BIA) in partnership with Read’s Book Shop and Treasures ‘N’ More hosted the affair.

from our fans so that number is growing,â€? said Arbour But what about other small towns you ask? “The sky is really the limit,â€? said Fallak, â€œâ€ŚEach small town has their own landmarks, their own story to tell and so the Almontees model is very scalable.â€?

Work has apparently already begun on a line of Carleton Place Tshirts, which will be called CPTees, and the duo is consulting with locals on what landmarks they’d most like to see.

Creativity isn’t scarce between these two, who both have years of experience in marketing and advertising. Arbour is the co-founder of the wildly popular Handmade Harvest Craft Show (May 4 in Almonte) and she’ll also be opening a handmade-centric gift shop on Mill St. in Almonte later this summer. As for Fallak, he operates a home dÊcor business in town called VersaTile, which transfers photos and designs to marble tiles.

The two have joined forces and created Small Town Thinking, which they describe as ‘an idea generation and creative execution agency.’ Almontees is the first project under the Small Town Thinking umbrella. “We’re trying to be disruptive.

We want to bring big ideas to small towns – there’s so much potential to do great things here,� said Fallak.

And that leads to another initiative of Small Town Thinking: the CreativExchange, which is a monthly meet-up of local business owners and entrepreneurs. “There are a lot of people doing great things in the small communities outside of Ottawa, we wanted to create an environment where we could get them all in the same room at the same time,� said Arbour.

The free evenings are currently an informal open forum format, which allows everyone a chance to ask for advice on a problem, share successes and exchange ideas. “It’s all about sharing. Ideas, resources, successes, failures, share R0011948341_TF

EMC Business – Two local entrepreneurs Emily Arbour and Dan Fallak are looking to take small town pride to the next level and they’re starting in Almonte. The duo recently launched a project called Almontees, a line of T-shirts featuring stylized versions of iconic landmarks and signs in the area.

Since first appearing on Facebook in a post reading “Meet Almontees: a nostalgic line of Almonte inspired T-shirts,� the project has gone viral, well, at least about as viral as a hyper local project about Almonte can go. “We are floored by the reaction Almontees has gotten. Our project launch on Facebook was shared over 400 times and the post was seen by over 30,000 people,� said Fallak. “I think anyone who has ever lived in Almonte and is on Facebook saw the post.�

He might be right. A quick scan on other social media reveals this tweet from Hot 89.9 radio personality and Almonte native Josie Geuer: “I already ordered SIX!�

Arbour and Fallak confirm that orders started coming in right away for the first collection of shirts, which includes designs featuring the Almonte water tower, the Black Watch Tobacco ad that is painted on a large wall in lower Mill St. and the iconic Superior Restaurant sign. “Being from Almonte is like being a part of an exclusive club. These iconic landmarks really resonate with Almontonians both currently living here and ones who’ve moved away – in fact, we got an order from Vancouver on the first night,� said Arbour.

The shirts are currently only available online at almontees.com, but there have already been requests from shop owners in town to carry the line in their stores.

These unisex shirts are the first in a series of ‘collections’ that will be released over the course of the spring, summer and beyond. “We have about another eight shirts designed already, and we are getting a lot of great suggestions

Songwriting troubadour appears at MERA Schoolhouse May 12 EMC Entertainment – A new generation’s balladeer troubadour coming to MERA Schoolhouse Aengus Finnan, acknowledged as one of the best of Canada’s new breed of songwriting troubadours, will make a rare appearance at MERA Schoolhouse on Sunday, May 12, at 2:00 pm. The DornerSullivan family is promoting the concert under the aegis of their “Incident at Shakey Acres� brand, though the event will be held at the MERA venue. “It’s such a great space for music,� says Danny Sullivan, “and Aengus is one of my personal favourite singersongwriters. There are so many great music fans in this area, and I wanted them to get a chance to see him perform.� Finnan has only performed rarely in recent years, concentrating his energy instead on founding the Shelter Valley Folk Festival in Grafton (near Cobourg), then taking an administrative position with the Ontario Arts Council. “I talked to Aengus at a music conference last October,�

Sullivan says, “and he said he was starting to do live performances again, but he wasn’t out looking for gigs. He told me he only played when someone asked him. So I asked him.� “I think of Aengus as the iconic balladeer of his generation; a new Stan Rogers or Gordon Lightfoot. We’ve seen a lot of our great musical talents and personalities passing on over the last little while – Stompin’ Tom, Rita MacNiel, Tam Kierney and others. If you’re wondering where the new generation of talented performers is, to me it begins with Aengus Finnan. His songs tell the great stories of the ordinary people of this country – both past and present. And his voice and melodies are the kind that get under your skin and live there, from the first time you hear them.�

Born in Dublin, Ireland to performing parents, and raised in Shelter Valley, Ontario on an organic cooperative farm, Aengus Finnan studied Visual Arts at Lester B. Pearson

and performances in Japan and Australia. Since 2004 Aengus has been working behind the scenes in the music business, founding a festival, serving as president of the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals and currently as the Touring and Audience Development officer for the Ontario Arts Council.

He also founded Art Beat (a community outreach initiative for the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals), co-founded

The Way We Feel (a Gordon Lightfoot Tribute concert series), helped establish the Northumberland Arts Council, and chaired the inaugural Park Theatre Foundation Board. As a side project he renovated an old general store/butcher shop in his boyhood hometown of Grafton and there ran The Lawless Gallery of Fine Art featuring the work of Canadian painter Michael Glover. The Gallery was also home to a

winter concert series.

The Aengus Finnan concert at MERA Schoolhouse in McDonald’s Corners will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 12.

Tickets are $20 and are available from Tickets Please at 39 Foster St. Perth (Jo’s Clothes) online at www.ticketsplease.ca or by phone at 613-485-6434. For more information or to reserve tickets, phone 613-268-2376 or email shakeyacres@hotmail. com.

Aengus Finnan, a songwriting troubadour, will appear at MERA Schoolhouse on May 12. Tickets are on sale now.

United World College, Theatre at Concordia University in Montreal, and graduated as valedictorian for the Faculty of Education at Nippissing University in North Bay. He has worked as a research diver and ornithologist in Alberta, and as a school-teacher in Moosonee on the remote Canadian James Bay coast and in Inuvik (in the Canadian Arctic).

His 1999 independent debut CD Fool’s Gold drew critical praise and included his much requested love song ‘Lately’ (featuring the backing vocals of Juno Award winner Jenny Whiteley), while his 2002 sophomore release North Wind, garnered even more acclaim and showcased his touring band and friends Trevor Mills and David Rogers, as well as Serena Ryder on backing vocals. The album features primarily original songs as well as an intriguing adaptation of a grim and rarely recorded traditional Ontario lumbercamp song ‘Lost Jimmy Whelan,’ as well as select covers of material by Slaid Cleaves, Maria Dunn, and Bill Caddick. From this album his

original songs ‘Rolling Home’ and ‘O’Shaughnessy’s Lament’ were awarded the prestigious New Folk Songwriter’s Award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas.

Aengus has an unreleased live album recorded at a 2003 fundraising concert for the inaugural Shelter Valley Folk Festival, as well as an album of field recordings of Robert Service poetry he recorded throughout the Yukon. He produced a community fundraising album called Valley Voices in 2002, and later co-produced Coastline of Our Dreams, an Ian Tamblyn tribute album. His songs have been recorded by numerous artists including Irish American tenor Seamus Kennedy and Newfoundland songstress Joy Norman. His song ‘Lightfoot’ was included as a bonus track on ‘Beautiful’, Canada’s first ever tribute to Gordon Lightfoot released by Borealis Records.

Aengus spent six years touring (1998-2004) including highlight performances at the Yukon International Storytelling Festival, The Kennedy Center for the Arts, in Washington DC,

EMC News – Dr. Wayne Hammond of Calgary has seen the existing social services programs for children these last 20 years and challenges those in education and child care to move away from a diagnosis-geared approach to a pro-active, strength building approach. “Shift from what’s wrong to what’s strong,� Dr. Hammond said during his presentation at a special presentation at SFDCI May 1.

Throughout his career of working with at-risk youth Dr. Hammond has seen the negative impacts students face when labeled with a learning disability or behaviour problem at a young age. In acknowledging the fact that 70 per cent of children diagnosed in elementary schools out grow their diagnosis at some stage, Dr. Hammond challenges the professional world to focus on behaviour and learning difficulties by building on students’ strengths and not allowing those they work with to be labeled or label themselves. “If you’re only focused on people’s behaviour then you’re missing the boat because behaviour comes from something,� the doctor said.

He proposes focusing on the feelings behind the behaviour, which often leads to a lack of resiliency.

To do this educators, parents and child care workers have to develop a relationship of mutual respect by listening to children and building a

point will experience failure. Those who survive and thrive in the world have learned to get up after being shut down. “I’m a big believer in not trying to protect people from risk,� Dr. Hammond added to parents. “Your job is to mess your kids lives up three-tofour times a week� so they learn to rebound from it.

He urges parents to challenge their kids with age appropriate responsibilities and chores to develop the ‘I can do this’ attitude. By doing this and unwaveringly supporting your child’s passion in life, Dr. Hammond feels every child will be able to live independently in the world despite economic changes or challenges they face.

The doctor believes the future economy will have more to do with creativity and entrepreneurism than a university education.

Why the shift now? The economic realities of today dictate a much-needed change in how social service programs in Canada are being delivered. Dr. Hammond noted funding is reducing while case loads are ever increasing. Taking a pro-active approach could turn this trend on its head, but it will take a reconfiguration of the existing funding formula that would commend good work with funding rather than forcing professionals to prove how deep the need is through labeling their clients. Once this is completed,

Lanark County approves Sustainable Communities Official Plan

Planning for accessible signals Council has approved a policy regarding the installation of accessible pedestrian signals. These would be used at intersections that have traffic signals to provide crossing information to blind, visually impaired and deaf-blind persons.

The policy stems from a countywide assessment to determine need for the signals on county and local municipal roads.

Currently, there are 33 signalized intersections in the county and the policy was developed by staff from the county, Perth, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills and reviewed by respective accessibility advisory committees. The intent was to develop an evaluation tool that would prioritize signals for retrofits to include accessible pedestrian signals.

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act encourages this action. Grants may be available for retrofitting certain intersections, and the policy will provide a consistent county-wide approach for planning to meet needs of blind, visually impaired and deaf-blind persons.

The adoption of the policy came on the same night that warden Bill Dobson (Montague reeve) declared May 26 to June 1 as National Access Awareness Week.

Commercial use policy approved Following a public consultation process, a commercial use policy for community forests has been approved by county council.

The policy ensures any commercial activities on the properties contribute to the environmental, social and economic well-being of the county by providing for orderly use and sustainable management of the community forests. It is designed to ensure that resources in the forests are made available in a fair and equitable manner. If anyone has an enquiry about commercial use in the community forests, each application will be looked at individually and an appendix for each type of use would be developed for the policy.

High scores for Lanark Lodge The county’s long-term care home, Lanark Lodge, received high scores in its 2012 Resident/Family Satisfaction Survey, which helps staff to determine trends and plan for improvements.

There was a 28 per cent response rate (the average is about 20 per cent), and results showed 98 per cent of respondents were overall satisfied with the quality of care and services in the home, which is consistent with the previous year.

The home rated very high scores (92 to 100 per cent) for making family members feel welcome, personal grooming, cleanliness, courteous staff, caring and compassionate nursing staff, activation services, meal choices and therapy programs. “The remarkable rate of satisfaction achieved in overall care and services, as well as the individual ratings in a number of specific domains, speaks to the high level of concerted effort to promote the best care and services for our elders in Lanark County,� said Lanark Lodge director Deborah

Community meetings planned As part of the county’s process to develop a 10-year housing and homelessness plan, a series of community meetings are scheduled. As a followup to meetings held in December, staff will review input that has been received and provide an overview of priorities and strategic objectives that have been developed.

The plan will address the housing needs of local residents, the services that are currently provided, gaps in services and goals for addressing those gaps. The vision is to provide residents with access to safe and healthy homes that help to build strong local communities. All residents and services providers in Lanark County are welcome.

Meetings are scheduled for May 1 in Smiths Falls from 9 a.m. to noon at the Smiths Falls Legion, 7 Main St. E., and in Carleton Place from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the Carleton Place arena (upstairs), 75 Neelin St.

Dr. Hammond would like to see an equal amount of effort put on the middle years of childhood development. Currently, the early years and teenage years are full of support programs for families to tap into, but the years of six to 11 are lost despite the fact that a child’s brain continues to develop in those years.

The doctor applauded the work of those professionals in the room that night, saying “For some of you here you’re doing pretty amazing things.�

That is the truth. The evening’s purpose was to hand out the Raising the Bar certificates of achievement to 18 Lanark County delivery centres.

Approximately 18 programs were recognized May 1, 13 of whom achieving gold level status and three being receiving acknowledgement for the first time from the program.

Raising the Bar is a voluntary standards program for licenced child care centres that recognizes places that go above and beyond the Day Nurseries Act. “The every day work that you do has not gone unnoticed,� said Mary Lou White, staff member with Lanark County.

Those to receive recognition this year include: Rideau Child Care, Carleton Place Child Care Services, Linda Lowe Day Care Centre, On-

Pidgeon. “The staff of Lanark Lodge should be recognized for their diligent efforts and their ongoing commitment to fulfil our mission of people caring for people.�

Norwood thanked council and citizens for their support. “It was a nice feeling to have the community behind me. Thanks to everyone for voting,� he said.

Following the presentation, Norwood performed the song for council.

EMC News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, April 24 at the county administration building in Perth.

Council has approved the modifications negotiated with the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for its Sustainable Communities Official Plan (SCOP).

The plan and recommended modifications are now with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for final review, and a “Notice of Decision� is expected to be issued shortly. In accordance with the Planning Act, the ministry’s decision will be subject to a statutory 20-day appeal period prior to the official plan coming into effect.

The SCOP, called “Sustainable Lanark,� combines an integrated community sustainability plan with an official plan (a first in Ontario) and was developed to meet the requirement of the Federal Gas Tax Transfer Agreement. It was developed in consultation with local municipalities and the public and is intended to provide a land-use framework that recognizes and supports local municipal Official Plans.

This is the first Official Plan for Lanark County. It can be viewed at www.lanarkcounty.ca/Page387.aspx.

Councillor Susan Freeman (Tay Valley deputy reeve) thanked staff for their hard work on the plan and their attention to detail.

New Healthy Hikes campaign launched Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) along with Conservation Ontario and their partners are kicking off a brand new provincial hiking campaign today, called Healthy Hikes.

Healthy Hikes runs until Oct. 31 and will highlight the many ways our environment boosts human health and how Ontarians can energize their body and mind simply by spending more time in nature.

Ontarians are encouraged to take the Healthy Hikes challenge by registering online and then recording their time spent hiking in the more than 270 conservation areas owned and operated by conservation authorities across Ontario for a chance to win great prizes.

MVC owns operates three conservation areas in the Ottawa Valley: the Mill of Kintail, Purdon, and Morris Island. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An increasing body of evidence suggests that spending time outdoors can provide many health benefits including increased energy and immunity, increased weight loss and fitness, increased Vitamin D production, reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression, and a reduced risk of diabetes, heart attacks, and cancer,â&#x20AC;? says Kim Gavine, general manager of Conservation Ontario, the organization that represents Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36 conservation authorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some doctors have even started prescribing hikes in local green spaces for their patients suffering from a variety of preventable illnesses.â&#x20AC;?

Conservation authorities collectively own over 2,500 kilometres of trails, and the conservation areas that they operate help protect ecologic features such as wetlands, forests, rivers and streams, and great lakes shoreline, all of which contribute in invaluable ways to our overall health and well-being. The air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink are impacted by the health of the natural environment.

Other organizations partnering with Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities include the Canadian Mental Health Association, Trees Ontario, York Region, the Ontario Trails Council, Ducks Unlimited Canada, The Bruce Trail Conservancy, and the David Suzuki Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had amazing partners come on board,â&#x20AC;? says Gavine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are hosting or partnering with conservation authorities on events, promoting activities, and providing some great online resources related to the health benefits of spending time in nature.â&#x20AC;?

By participating in the various events, challenge participants receive 200 bonus points for attending. There are already close to 60 events in the calendar, and many more are anticipated throughout the campaign. From â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;brain boostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hikes, healthy lifestyle days, geocaching events, various guided hikes, and a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day yoga event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is something suitable for every age and fitness level!

MVC is hosting two Healthy Hikes events at the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area for you to earn bonus points: the Heritage Trail Run for Bev already held on May 4 and free admission Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day on June 16. The event codes will be posted on site during the events so you can collect your bonus points online when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done. Remember all hikes at our conservation areas are worth points.

There are $2,500 worth of great prizes up for grabs for challenge participants and the grand prize, a $1,200 Merrell gift card, was very generously donated by Merrell themselves.

For more information on Healthy Hikes, the available prizes, challenge rules and regulations, events, and how to participate, visit www. healthyhikes.ca. Happy hiking!

Conservation Ontario is the network of 36 conservation authorities, local watershed management agencies that deliver services and programs that protect and manage water and other natural resources in partnership with government, landowners and other organizations.

Conservation authorities promote an integrated watershed approach balancing human, environmental and economic needs. Conservation authorities are organized on a watershed basis.

petroleum products. Every piece of plastic ever made in our lifetime, still exists.

They do not decompose; they photodegrade. The sun’s rays eventually break them down into small toxic pieces, which contaminate the soil and water and get into our food chain when animals ingest them.

Organized by the MVFN Environmental Issues Committee, chaired by Blakeney resident Theresa Peluso, an anti-plastic bag campaign will be launched in early May and will include distribution of a fact sheet on the issue, surveying current users and distributors of plastic bags, conducting a poster contest within schools, and publishing a final report.

This MVFN environmental issues campaign is designed to encourage the use of reusable cloth bags.

A constant message of the campaign will be to simply avoid buying goods that come in plastic bags. Another thrust is to encourage local businesses not to use them in the first place. As the campaign unfolds, the group will be seeking volunteers to help get the message across. If you are willing to assist, contact Theresa Peluso at reduceplasticcampaign@ gmail.com.

“Her leadership skills, strong commitment to faith, and cordial personality will ensure that the students’ voices are heard,” Fry continued.

EMC News – Canadians use up to 15 million plastic bags every year and the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) plan to do something about it in this area.

MVFN’s major concern is centred on what these bags are doing to the environment when disposed of. If you tied together every plastic bag we use annually in Canada, they would circle the globe 55 times.

Many of them end up in our watershed, plugging drains and sewers and creating an unsightly mess.

Worse still, they cause great harm to wildlife. Birds get tangled up in them, especially water birds; turtles and other mammals ingest them; whales and dolphins confuse them for jellyfish and gobble them up. Some fish think they are frog eggs and eat them. The result is usually suffocation or acute indigestion leading to death.

Masses of plastic bags are strewn all over the countryside. Not necessarily dumped or discarded by people, a large amount of plastic is wind-borne from landfill and construction sites. Canadian plastic bags have been found as far away as Scotland. Flotillas of plastic bags are found in the middle of our oceans and ocean currents slowly carry them on to other shores.

Plastic bags are made from non-renewable

EMC News – The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) is pleased to announce that Terron James, a grade 12 student at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, has been elected as the next Catholic student trustee for the CDSBEO.

After being elected at the Student Senate meeting on April 26, James remarked, “I am ecstatic to have been elected Catholic student trustee for the upcoming school year. I look forward to working with the members of the Student Senate, and the board, to discover what we can accomplish.”

Director of Education, William J. Gartland commented on the election results.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Children’s Resources on Wheels marks 25th anniversary DEAR EDITOR: We would like to recognize and say thank you to our volunteers who give their energy, skills, and time freely to Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW).

This year, CROW is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Over the last 25 years, CROW has been fortunate to have volunteers in many and varied capacities. Since we are celebrating CROW’s birthday, we thought it would be appropriate to look at what has happened or changed in the last 25 years or quarter century. Many things we take for granted today were not invented or available 25 years ago and have changed our world considerably.

For instance: we can communicate with people on the other side of the world in real time from practically anywhere; we can write something and communicate it to billions of people by using text messages, Facebook, or Twitter; we do not have to rely on the mail; if we want to learn something or find out about something, we don’t have to research it in books at our local library; we can do a Google

search and find out more information than we know what to do with; watch world events unfold in real time rather than waiting for the 6 p.m. news; we can view products, shop, and compare prices without leaving our house or chair; and we can surf the web, download music, and watch movies all via the Internet. We don’t need to have a television anymore.

However, the list we just provided does not include:the face to face conversations; the personal contact with people; the expressions on people faces whether they be smiles, frowns, or concern; or the sounds of laughter and compassion.

This is why we feel it is so very important to recognize and pay tribute to the people who serve and volunteer at CROW now and over the last 25 years. Thank you past and present volunteers!

COMMENTARY Go exploring EMC Editorial – Now that the nice weather seems as if it’s here to stay, it’s the perfect time to rediscover what our local communities throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville have to offer.

The buds on the trees have opened, flowers are beginning to bloom and our towns are jam packed with events to take in. The season has breathed life back into the areas in which we live.

A big indication of this are the numerous yard and garage sales popping up throughout the region. Merrickville recently held its community-wide garage sale, giving people an opportunity to rid themselves of items that collected dust over the winter months. Another opportunity will be May 25 when the Light Up the Night hosts its annual garage sale in the Levi Home Hardware parking lot in Almonte.

The rebirth of spring is evident in other municipalities as well. North Grenville is getting set for its annual celebration of spring, the Dandelion Festival, set to take place the final weekend in May; and Smiths Falls is preparing for the revitalization of their popular summer tradition, the newlynamed Rideau Rural Roots Festival in July. Carleton Place is also putting the finishing touches on their unique Wine’d Around Downtown event May 25.

The season culminates with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraisers June 7 and 8 in Mississippi Mills (Gemmill Park) and Smiths Falls (Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute). Even if you aren’t participating, enjoy an evening of entertainment, capped off with the emotional luminary ceremony when the sun goes down.

Whether you’re enjoying an afternoon along the Rideau Canal or in Perth’s Stewart Park, visiting the Merrickville Ruins or spending a Saturday at the farmers’ markets throughout the area, get out and explore what our communities have to offer.

Each day of the week was marked with special chores EMC Lifestyle – My sister Audrey said she was tired of the same old routine day in and day out. Since I was so very young when she made this comment, I had no idea what routine was.

So I asked Audrey to print the word in my scribbler, and say what the word meant. Even at that early age I was very interested in words, and kept a record in a fat scribbler whenever I heard one I hadn’t heard before. My scribbler was getting quite thick, and even though I went over it often, I would forget what a word meant, and Audrey would have to explain it to me all over again. Which didn’t please her in the least!

Well, Audrey could say what she liked about routine and how bored she was with it. But I liked how our lives on the farm were so orderly, and as far as I was concerned, I wanted nothing to change.

Every Monday morning, our beds didn’t have to be made up, because that was the day, the sheets were stripped, and Mother did the washing.

It didn’t matter if the snow was coming down in buckets, or it was raining so hard you could barely see the

barns, Monday was wash day. And I knew that on Monday night there would be fresh sheets on our beds, taken right off the clothesline and smelling of spring and the outdoors.

That night, I didn’t mind in the least going to bed.

And every Tuesday, when we came from school, we could smell in the kitchen, the scent of newly ironed clothes. Shirts would be draped over chairs, tea towels stacked neatly in a pile on the kitchen table ready to be put in the drawer in the back-tothe-wall cupboard. Even our pinny aprons would be ironed and hanging on the hook by the stove. Without fail, Tuesday was the day the ironing was done.

And our mealtimes never varied.

Breakfast was the very same every morning. Big bowls of porridge, fried potatoes and back bacon, and thick slices of homemade bread slathered with butter and jam.

Dinner was always at noon hour.

There was no such thing as lunch in the middle of the day. The routine of mid-day dinner never varied. Father expected, and got, meat and potatoes, Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

one or two different vegetables and an ample piece of homemade pie. After all, his work had begun at dawn, and even though his breakfast was ample, by noon hour it had worn off, and he was more than ready for what he called ‘a decent meal’.

The routine continued at supper... always there was meat and potatoes but dessert would be preserves. And we never went to bed without something to tide us over to morning. I couldn’t imagine this routine being broken. This was all part of our life on the farm.

Friday night was always the time to get ready for peddling Mother’s wares in Renfrew the next day. There was a regular routine that never varied as long as we lived in Northcote, 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

and was one of my favourite evenings in the entire week. Audrey and I would gather the eggs from the hen house, and Audrey would wash them in warm soapy water, and I would dry them with a clean flour bag tea towel. Mother would weigh them into their sizes on the egg scale...small, medium and large, and we would carefully pack them into 11-quart baskets. Mother’s sticky buns would be wrapped in wax paper, freshly plucked chickens singed, and laid out on the bake table on a clean white sheet, ready to be packed in the Model T in the morning.

And every Saturday without fail, Mother headed into Renfrew to go door-to-door with what we had prepared the night before.

Perhaps this was why Audrey complained so much about the routine.

She was usually left at home to clean the house, whereas I was allowed to go with Mother.

That didn’t mean I was spared from Saturday chores however. When we got back to the farm, it was my job to churn the butter in the middle of the kitchen.

ny, sitting on a straight-back chair, I plunged the round wood disc into the fresh cream, waiting for the change in the sound coming from deep in the churn, when I would know that my labour had paid off, and soon there would be butter. Saturday was butter day, and that never varied.

And Saturday was bake day. Bread would be ready for the oven by the time we got back from Renfrew, pie crusts would be filled, and always a slab cake would be at the ready just in case neighbours dropped in for a game of euchre that night.

Every night, without fail, we had our prayers. They were said on our knees around Mother who sat in the rocking chair in the corning of the big upstairs hall, which my sister Audrey and I called our bedroom.

And our prayers never varied.

Sometimes we prayed so long, I would doze off with my head on Mother’s knee. And another day would be done. Another day, just like the one before it. Marked with its special chores for that day of the week. And Audrey would lament again about the boredom of it all.

Planning meals can help save time and money

By SARAH PATTERSON and DIANNE OICKLE

Planning meals can save time Planning even just a few days worth of healthy meals and snacks will save you time later in the week when it comes to shopping and meal preparation. Use leftovers in your meal plan. For example, cook a whole chicken Monday night, and have a chicken stir-fry Tuesday night.

This will make sure food doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to waste and will save you time during meal preparation the next day.

Make a grocery list. Check to see what you already have on hand in the kitchen, and make a quick list of what you will need from the store.

Knowing exactly what you need to buy can help make your grocery trip more efficient.

Visit our website at www.healthunit.org/nutrition for more information on this workshop and for links to many other online and community resources.

You can also contact the Leeds, Grenville, and Lanark District Health Unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toll-free Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853 or 613-3455685.

Sarah Patterson, is a Dietetic Intern and Dianne Oickle, is a MSc, RD, Registered Dietitian/Public Health Nutritionist with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

A plan for when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a plan It is not always realistic to have a meal planned for every day of the week. For those inevitable nights when you have not been able to pre-plan a meal, have a backup plan. Have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;emergency meal kitâ&#x20AC;? stored in your pantry that contains a few ingredients that can quickly be combined to make a meal. An example of an â&#x20AC;&#x153;emergency meal kitâ&#x20AC;? may be a bag of pasta, a can of tuna, a can of mushroom soup and some frozen veggies. These ingredients can be thrown together in a pinch to make a tuna noodle casserole. Having a back-up plan like this can save you from spending money on take-out!

Plan to grow your own fruits and vegetables Start a backyard garden, join a community garden, or plant some indoor potted vegetables and herbs.

Planning meals can save money Having a grocery shopping plan can help you save money and prevent you from buying something you already have. Plan your meals around what is on sale at the stores you shop. Reading store flyers will help you save money and may also help spark meal ideas! Plan meals around what fruits and vegetables are in season as produce is often cheaper when in season, and will be fresher and tastier too!

What is a complete meal?

In order to get all the nutrients we need in a day, it is important to eat a variety of foods from all four food groups in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Guide: Vegetables and Fruit, Milk & Alternatives, Meat & Alternatives, and Grain Products. To create a complete meal, simply include at least three out of the four food groups from Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Guide. For example, a peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread with a glass of milk is a complete meal. A cheese omelet with a handful of carrot sticks is another example of a complete meal.

EMC Lifestyle – Recently we discussed a request from a reader looking to find out which new compact or sub-compact vehicle could actually be used for towing (the majority of carmakers no longer recommend these classes of cars for towing a trailer of any weight or size). One error in my response was regarding Honda. They did take the time to reply to my request for towing ratings and indicated that their Civic was rated to tow a trailer weighing up to 1,000 lb. My column indicated otherwise and I apologize for the error. However I did forward that information directly to our reader and he replied: “Thanks for the info Brian--I have now ordered a new Honda Civic.”

Roger I had a chance on a recent warm and sunny Sunday to attend a great sustainability fair in North Grenville at the Municipal Centre in Kemptville. This event has been running for six years providing attendees with information on everything green from energy efficiency and generation to local foods to waste reduction, and horticulture and recreation. Last year for the first time, two electric vehicles were parked at the entrance and the interest and feedback from the public was enough to convince the organizers to bring a more developed display this year.

So one of the arena ice surfaces was converted into display space and Chris Weissflog of EcoGen Energy helped co-ordinate a full slate of electric and gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles from manufacturers such as Nissan, Smart, Toyota, General Motors, Ford, and Tesla along with some privately owned e-bikes and all-electric autos. The new vehicle displays were staffed by local dealership consultants and were kept very busy answering questions from a steady stream of interested

Carleton Place water plant back to normal after shut down May 5 EMC News – Early Sunday morning, May 5, Carleton Place Drinking Water Plant operators received an alarm indicating that there was a problem and that the treatment plant had shut down.

Drinking water continued to be supplied to the water system from the town’s elevated tower.

Upon investigation it appears a raw water flow meter malfunctioned which caused higher than desired levels of chlorine and fluoride to be added to the water. The alarm triggered action before any water left the treatment plant.

The Ocean Wave Fire Company and the Carleton Place Public Works Department were brought in to assist with the pumping out of the below ground storage tank at the plant and flushing of hydrants. This event and corrective ac-

tions were reviewed with both the Ministry of the Environment and the health unit.

The town continued to be supplied with water from the elevated tower during repairs and flushing operations. By 5 p.m. fluoride and chlorine concentrations were within acceptable levels and the treatment plant was restarted. At no time, during this event, did any chlorine or fluoride level exceed provincial guidelines. This was achieved through safeguards in place at the treatment facility and the response of the Ontario Clean Water Agency Operators, the Ocean Wave Fire Company and Carleton Place Public Works Operators.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to call public works department at 613-257-6201.

Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Franktown Run returns May 11 tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Attention all athletes and non-athletes alike!

The ninth Annual Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Franktown Run, presented by Calvary Christian Academy (CCA), is scheduled for Saturday, May 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we first started the run it was to promote health and physical activity in our students,â&#x20AC;? said Trish Irwin-Kitt, administrative assistant at CCA, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we decided to invite the local community as well.â&#x20AC;?

The school never imagined the run would become so popular. In the region of 500 runners (of all ages) participate. They come from Toronto, Kingston and Montreal, as well as the greater Ottawa region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Runners will always travel to get to a good run,â&#x20AC;? said IrwinKitt.

Promoting the run, one of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top triathletes, Bruce McNicoll said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a wonderful event! Warm hospitality, a variety of fast, accurate courses, very cool awards, and the absolute best post-race food ever!

Two thumbs way up for Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Franktown?â&#x20AC;?

The rain or shine event offers four extraordinary routes. The one kilometre (km) family fun

run/ walk starts just off the CCA property, on Irvine Road at 9:30 a.m. The other runs start and finish on Church Street in the village of Franktown. They have spread out start times: five km at 10:10 a.m., 10 km at 10 a.m. and 15 km at 9:30 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always hope for good weather,â&#x20AC;? said Irwin-Kitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most years we have been blessed with no rain, but the race goes on either way.â&#x20AC;?

Courses are well liked by runners. They are flat, well marked and take place on country roads for the most part. Water stations line all courses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neighbours often sit out to cheer on the runners as they pass their houses,â&#x20AC;? said Irwin-Kitt.

Champion Chip by way of Sportstats will provide chip timing.

Other highlights of the day include large barbecue buffet (burgers, salads, muffins and desserts); free babysitting service (8:30 to 11:30 a.m.); hand painted wooden finishers medals for five km, 10 km and 15 km runners; engraved medals for the top finishers; and assorted prizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bags are given to all runners as they pick up their race kits,â&#x20AC;? said Irwin-Kitt.

CCA strives to promote healthy living. A good fraction of students do the run.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage all CCA children to participate,â&#x20AC;? said IrwinKitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The school has a running club in which the students have all been training three times a week.â&#x20AC;?

The school is hoping Carleton Place resident and world-class blind runner Noella Klawitter will be in attendance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did come speak to the students recently and to officially launch the training for the run,â&#x20AC;? said Irwin-Kitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has been a great inspiration to our students.â&#x20AC;?

Registration fees are as follows: 15 km ($50 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; adults, $30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youth); 10 km and five km ($35 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; adults, $20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youth); and one km family run/walk ($10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; adult and youth). To register, go to runningroom.com or calvaryca. com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Runners can also register in person at the school or by mail,â&#x20AC;? said Irwin-Kitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We accept registrations the day of the event, although it is very helpful to have them in advance.â&#x20AC;?

If enlisting on race day, (8 to 9:15 a.m.) there is an extra charge of $5 (15 km, 10 km and five km courses). Once again, all proceeds from the run benefit CCA. For more information about the race, contact the school at 613-283-5089.

EMC Events – Flowers everywhere are blooming this spring and some of the best will soon be on display in Pakenham.

The Pakenham Horticultural Society is hosting its annual Spring Flower Show on Wednesday, May 16 at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Church.

Sherryl Smith, the co-president of the society, encourages the public to come out and see the displays by the group’s members.

“We would be delighted to have people come in and look at what we are growing,” said Smith.

“People go to a lot of trouble for the display and we would like more people to appreciate them. We have some members who will have some fabulous designs.”

There will be a number of different display classes including spring bulbs, garden flowers, spring vegetables, houseplants and other decorative classes.

“People bring in their specimens of flowers and they are judged for prizes,” said Smith.

While the judging is taking place, guest speaker Elizabeth Schiecher, a Roseafrica-accredited rose judge will speak.

“I’m intrigued by her,” said Smith. “She is from South Africa and she’s bringing a slideshow on a big rose show that was staged in South Africa and it should be really interesting.”

The public is welcome to attend both the speaker’s presentation and the show itself, however only members of the society are able to display their flowers.

Plant sale The horticultural society will be holding its annual plant sale at the 5 Span Feed and Seed (2488 County Road 29 in Pakenham) on Saturday, May 18 from 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine.

The sale will include a wide variety of perenni-

als, shrubs and seedlings.

“It’s a major fundraiser for our club and all of the items will be very reasonably priced,” said Smith. “Most of the plants are well-established, from our area and tried and true.”

Plus there will be volunteers on site to answer any questions. For more information on either event, contact Smith at 613-624-5307 or to find out about the society, visit http://www.gardenontario.org/site.php/pakenham.

EMC News – Garbage bag tags are no longer needed in Mississippi Mills, unless you need extra bags on garbage day.

As of June 1, residents in Mississippi Mills will have their garbage pick up reduced from 60 times per year to 52 times, with one bag per week and an extra bag permitted at Easter, Christmas and New Year’s. Bag tags will continue to be available for purchase at a cost of $2 per tag and previous year’s tags will still be accepted.

The motion was approved at the Town of Mississippi Mills council meeting on April 16, but not before a number of councillors raised concerns on the new proposal.

Coun. Gary Dalgity told his council colleagues he had received a number of phone calls on the issue and was worried about large families who may not be able to pay for more tags and that some people may just leave the garbage on the side of the road.

“It’s a double tax as far as I see it,” said Dalgity. “In my view people are happy.

To change it now we will get lots of complaints.”

Coun. Val Wilkinson noted at the recent Pakenham Home Show she found people were pleased with the new system and the fact residents would not longer need tags.

“The difference is not a lot,” added Wilkinson.

“I think there may be some problems but we need to move forward with a system to encourage recycling.”

Coun. Alex Gillis agreed with Dalgity.

“He has legitimate concerns. People pay for a service and we are reducing it,” said Gillis. “I have a lot of difficulty with this.”

Currently, the town mails out 60 bag tags to each residential unit per year which is used as a means to manage the set limit.

Both chief administrative officer Diane Smithson and roads and public works director Troy Dunlop reminded councillors of the new recycling program that will be coming into affect on June 1.

The new curbside waste collection and curbside collection service will see substantial changes in the variety of new containers that will be accepted in the blue box. Currently, recycling of glass and plastics numbered one and two are accepted.

However, under the new contract residents will be able to recycle plastics numbered one through seven (excluding six) which includes items such as milk cartons, juice boxes and frozen juice containers.

“The town has invested in a waste master plan and we have a goal of a 60 per cent diversion rate and we have to work towards that,” said Dunlop.

“I think with a 35-tag grace period that is a significant grace period and yes, people pay $2.45 in a waste levy, but they are paying for the new recycling collection.”

Coun. Denzil Ferguson noted that he had not heard any major complaints and the plan needs some clarification with existing tags.

“I think we are taking a step in the right direction,” said Ferguson.

Previous year’s tags and tags that were issued for 2013 will remain valid.

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

“It will encourage people to recycle,” added Coun. Shaun McLaughlin.

Coun. Duncan Abbott was concerned about houses that have three different units.

“How does the truck know where there are three apartments in a house,” questioned Abbott. “Or one bag a week with three kids is a challenge. I think some kind of step by step introduction should be done. I think we are putting a big load on people starting at June 1.”

Coun. Bernard Cameron clarified the use of one container per week.

“It’s not a bag but a container. That’s 15 kg per week,” he said.

“The recycling aspect is huge, if we kept the bags as is they won’t change their habits.”

He also noted that there will be people who are able to donate the tags they don’t need to different community groups to help those in need.

In the end, the motion was carried on a recorded vote with five councillors in favour of the new collection and Coun. Paul Watters, Abbott, Gillis and Dalgity voting against the motion.

Changes to garbage collection June 1 in Mississippi Mills

EDITORIAL

Fiberal mistakes, our money EMC Editorial - Well, turns out that father doesn’t always know best.

Former “Premier Dad” (aka Dalton McGuinty, remember him?) has admitted to Queen’s Park’s justice committee this week that it was his decision to shutter gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga, costing Ontario taxpayers untold billions.

Now, at least he admitted that he and his government were wrong in pushing the plants in the first place and that, well, turns out that the people of those two communities were right. Easy for him to admit that now. (In fairness, both the Tories and NDP also promised to cancel the plants.)

What is galling is that while the Liberals had passed laws requiring that industrial wind turbines be located at least 550 metres from homes, did no one in Toronto think that there should be a similar rule about gas plants?

The fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, last month, was tragic, and similar questions were raised about why such a facility was lo-

cated so close to a residential area. But at least in Texas, many such plants already existed in what had originally been rural areas which, in time, with urban sprawl, became surrounded by homes.

Mississauga and Oakville, by comparison, are already built-up areas.

McGuinty had the gall to tell the committee that no children would now have to go to school beside a gas-fired station. Oh, will somebody please think of the children? Oh please, how about scuttling the plan at the drawing board stages instead? Who would look at this plan and think that it was a good idea to have a gas plant in the vicinity of a school?

This fiasco once again highlights all the things that were wrong with McGuinty’s years in office - no regard for taxpayer’s money, a sheer bullheaded “I know best,” mentality, and weak leadership.

Ah, what leadership, to make a decision, then leave someone else holding the bag.

Now we are all on the hook for $585 mil-

lion. The auditor general has already stated that cancelling the Mississauga plant cost $275 million during the 2011 election, about $85 million more than the Liberals have admitted to. The Oakville gas plant cancellation cost all of us $310 million, not the $40 million that the Liberals claimed. McGuinty says he didn’t know it would cost as much. This is complete balderdash, according to the head of the Ontario Power Authority, who has testified that the government knew, at the time, that the costs would be higher. Guess it depends on who you believe.

Premier Kathleen Wynne appears to have learned a few tricks from her old boss.

Finance Minister Charles Sousa delivered a budget so heavily laden with $1 billion in gifts for the Ontario NDP - buying their support with our money - that leader Andrea Horwath

must have thought it was Christmas morning. Drummond Report be damned, we need to keep staving off an election in a desperate attempt to cling to power, rather than face an election we know we will likely lose.

Sousa said that 60 per cent of the Drummond Report has been implemented. And yet, we are still significantly in the hole for the foreseeable future. Quebec next door is taking serious steps to reduce its deficit before Ontario will. They face many of the same problems we do, with a declining manufacturing economy, and they also have a minority government.

And yet, they are taking the deficit seriously, with their Finance Minister, Nicolas Marceau, promising a zero deficit by 2014.

It’s a sad day when Quebec’s separatist government is doing a better financial job balancing the books than we are.

Blooms Spring is also a time of hope and new beginnings. We can see this hope in our communities if we look hard enough. One example is the second Garden of Hope on Coleman St. in Carleton Place that is blooming with daffodils, a symbol of hope, especially for those battling cancer.

The garden is a joint partnership with the local chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society and Carleton Place Nursery Ltd. and every time I drive by, I am inspired to know those flowers represent someone brave enough to fight cancer.

And soon enough it will be time for the second annual Mississippi Mills Relay for

It seems like yesterday, almost 10 years ago, that we had our first date! And yes, we did get married on Mother’s Day weekend but we are lucky and blessed to have one of the most caring, kind, loving, supportive, nurturing mothers anyone could ask for!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Memorial Park a tribute to veterans, not a playground DEAR EDITOR: After almost three years of waiting, and through the dedication and hard work of the volunteer members of the local cenotaph committee, the Town of Carleton Place has received the final pieces to the local Memorial Park Cenotaph expansion and restoration. Those final pieces were the arrival of two inoperable C-105 mm Howitzers on May 2 that are now located on each side of the local cenotaph.

However, following their arrival and placement, I was very disheartened to see less than one hour following their arrival, four adults sitting on one of the benches located in Memorial Park and watching their pre-school children climbing and playing on these two artifacts. I was almost ready to cry.

Memorial Park is not a playground.

It is a local park dedicated to all of our veterans from our community who volunteered to go off to war and fight for our freedoms. The names of those local soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice are inscribed on our cenotaph. These two newly obtained Howitzers now form a part of our cenotaph.

The area in which cenotaphs are located in local communities across Canada are considered sacred grounds and should receive the respect and dignity they so rightly deserve. They are located in parks such as our Memorial Park in Carleton Place to preserve the memory of our war dead and veterans. They are not to be used as play areas.

If it were not for those individuals from Carleton Place and other communities across Canada who paid the supreme sacrifice, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms that we have today. Such freedoms as being able to take our young children to parks and let them play. For children being children, they do love to climb on things and have fun.

However, there are other parks in Carleton Place that are designated as playgrounds, and I would ask parents that they respect our Memorial Park and our cenotaph area for what it stands for and do not allow their children to use it as a play area.

EMC News – On Thursday, May 2, two C1 105mm Howitzer artillery guns arrived in Carleton Place bound for the cenotaph. The guns are part of the cenotaph restoration project, which has been in the works for nearly three years. The guns arrived from Ottawa on a transport truck donated by Thomas Cavanagh Construction. Above, one of two Howitzer artillery guns roll down Franklin St. on its way to the cenotaph.

Pain is a GOOD thing!

Think about that for a moment. Why would PAIN be a good thing when the top Google search in the World is for ‘Back Pain Relief’?

I believe that fevers, pain, vomiting, and diarrhea are ALL good. The reason is because all of these things are the language your body uses to communicate with YOU. You don’t always listen, but it doesn’t mean that the communication is WRONG. Fever is the way your body kills bacteria and viruses.

Vomiting and diarrhea serve as your body’s natural defense to remove the bad from inside out. Pain means you have reached your limit.

A limit in inflammation, being over-worked, emotionally overloaded, overwhelmed, stressed and broken. All of these are good signs to tell you to seek help, to realize you have reached your maximum AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, to realize you are still ALIVE. Celebrate your FEVERS, VOMITING, and DIARRHEA, and most of all your PAIN. Know that CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS help you gain certainty over time that your body knows best and you can trust it.

The Evening Grosbeak returns to Lanark County Drugs, alcohol and teens donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix Strictly for the Birds LYNDA C. BENNETT

Best of all, he had two Fox Sparrows and the first reported Chipping Sparrow of this year. To top it off, a small group of Evening Grosbeak visited that day. These birds have been few and far between this year in Lanark County.

Early morning on April 22, 5:30 a.m., I drove over to Lanark Concession 12, in Lanark-Highlands. I hoped to hear/see new species for the year.

Slowly driving and stopping frequently, I heard a Winter Wren singing. As I came to the parking area by the boat

launch, I heard a loud Swamp Sparrow.

Three loons were on the lake, a female mallard by the shore, and a male Hooded Merganser rested on shore. I was surprised to hear a Ruffed Grouse drumming, while watching a beautiful sunrise.

Later on, being early for an Almonte luncheon, I parked on Old Almonte Road and rolled the windows down. A Savannah Sparrow sang from close by, but I could not see it.

A phone call that day, from Mike Jaques of Carleton Place, told of a Palm Warbler in town.

That evening, Ray Holland of Pakenham, called to report seeing an Eastern Towhee and two Brown Thrashers in his area. Great to hear of the return of these spring migrants.

Please call Lynda Bennett at 613256-5013 or email bennett@magma.ca with your bird reports.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following is a regular feature provided monthly by the Mississippi Mills Municipal Drug Strategy Committee.

Did you knowâ&#x20AC;Śthat alcohol is a drug and the most commonly used one among students. The leading cause of injury and death among teenagers is impaired driving.

Summer is coming and graduation can be fun, but be aware and plan your partying.

Not drinking is an option! Remember, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal to serve alcohol to those under 19 and to allow minors to drink. â&#x20AC;˘ Plan ahead and make smart choices. â&#x20AC;˘ Organize alcohol-free activities, such as dancing, games and contests. â&#x20AC;˘ Always have a buddy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; safety travels in numbers.

â&#x20AC;˘ Let your family know where you will be and how to contact you. â&#x20AC;˘ Always have a back-up plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; e.g. taxi, call home, stay at a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house.

If you choose to use, know the risks. Always be aware of your surroundings and never get in a car when the driver has used drugs or alcohol.

If, despite your precautions, someone passes out, never leave them alone. They could be suffering from alcohol poisoning. Call 911 immediately and turn them onto their side, with their head on its side as well, to prevent choking if they vomit.

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In Clayton on April 16, Jenny Doyle watched a Bald Eagle soaring over her home. Many Darkeyed Juncos still feed beneath her feeders. The same day, Howard Robinson noted three Common Loons on Clayton Lake. He has an Eastern Phoebe, three Northern Flickers and a Brown Creeper on his property. Mid-afternoon, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was heard.

Not far from Howard, Bev Relfe called to report the ice is out of Taylor Lake. She observed two loons and a Belted Kingfisher that have returned.

The next day, April 20, Bev spotted several Bufflehead ducks by Command Bridge (on Galbraith Road).

In Beckwith Township, Randy Marinelli heard a Wood Thrush on April 16. Then two White-throated Sparrows came on April 17, plus a Redshouldered Hawk, Barred Owl, and the first Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Snipe for his spring list.

Annual Light Up the Night Garage Sale set for May 25 in Almonte tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to clean out your closet for Light Up the Night (LUTN).

The 23rd edition of one of the largest outdoor Christmas concerts in Canada may be a while away yet (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set for Friday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m.), but plans are well under way to make it the best yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have excitedly starting our planning,â&#x20AC;? said Nancy Fulton, chair of the LUTN committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a fantastic committee who are working hard but nothing is confirmed yet.â&#x20AC;?

Starting off the planning is the annual Light Up The Night Garage Sale on Saturday, May 25 in the parking lot Levi Home Hardware (476 Ottawa St.) in Almonte from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

People can rent a table for only $20, with all proceeds going to LUTN, or do-

nate items that volunteers will sell with funds going towards the event. Those wishing to drop items off can do so from 6 to 9 a.m. on the day of the sale.

Fulton is very thankful for everyone who donates items to the sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of people in the community who love LUTN so they are more than willing to donate items,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the community and townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support we would not be able to have the event.â&#x20AC;?

Fulton thinks its always a very fun and social time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always neat things to find at the sale,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know people come out to meet their neighbours and chat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just such a great community event.â&#x20AC;?

There will be plenty to take in while looking for a hidden treasure including a performance by the Mississippi Mills Hy-Linersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dancers from 10 to 11 a.m., a

barbecue put on by the Almonte Civitan Club from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and a bake sale in support of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario organized by the Cedar Hill Sunday School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of baked goodies too!â&#x20AC;? said Fulton.

Last year approximately 20 tables were rented, the traffic flow was excellent throughout the day and overall was very well attended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great morning. Last year we had a really big crowd,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to come out, enjoy themselves, hopefully find a good treasure, all the while supporting LUTN.â&#x20AC;?

There is no limit to the number of tables that can be rented by community members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tom (Levi) is very generous and supportive of the event and we can take as many tables as needed,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton.

Those wishing to rent a table are en-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are willing to rent tables up to couraged to contact Calvin Murphy at the Town of Mississippi Mills: 613-256- the day of (the sale),â&#x20AC;? said Fulton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We 1077 ext. 27 or cmurphy@mississippi- want to help as many people as we can because they are helping us.â&#x20AC;? mills.ca.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two donations to the Life Skills program (Lanark County Support Services) from the Carleton Place Civitan Club ($500) and The Exchange ($500) were happily accepted last month. The funds will go towards gas for the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle that gets participants to many job stations each week.

properties from the town for $50,000 each. Although the purchase price is significantly less than the appraised values of $190,000 (Allan St.) and $245,000 (Beckwith St.), the offer also includes incorporating 39 Beckwith St. into the new development project on Beckwith St. and 135 and 139 Charles St. and 45 and 58 Allan St. into the new development project on Allan St. The Allan St. project encompasses the construction of 36 condos (three 12-unit buildings). The condos would be valued at $350,000 each, and 36 units at this price equals a $12.6 million initiative.

The town’s chief administrative officer, Paul Knowles recommended council accept the $50,000 offer.

“I think this is one of the less important things that should be considered,” he said.

Knowles noted the same $12.6 million project in a brand new subdivision would require new streets, sidewalks and more to be built and maintained.

“It is definitely to the town’s advantage to encourage in-fill development,” he said, “and this is a provincial trend.”

Another condition sought after by the DDG is that all properties involved be exempt from development and building permit fees and all other fees normally charged for similar projects.

The town has recently provided an exemption to development charges in the downtown (strategic properties) to encourage new projects; however, some of the DDG’s proposed undertakings are outside the boundary.

Staff recommended council consider amending the development charges bylaw to expand the boundary in the downtown area, but for no other fees, including sewer and water, to be waived.

“You can redraw the map, but you

just can’t exempt things,” said Knowles.

“Council can approve and amend bylaws, but council can’t exempt people from bylaws. Frankly, it’s against the law.”

He cautioned that if a bigger circle is drawn, there is a good chance other projects would be captured.

“I have the bad habit of not automatically taking the first price,” said deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg. “I wouldn’t mind seeing us go back with a counter offer.”

“I assume Wally is in this to make a profit,” he continued. “He’s not in this because he likes us. He is a businessman and I fully appreciate he should make a reasonable profit. Can he do that and give the town a little more?”

We are averaging approximately 70 (housing) starts a year in Carleton Place at full price, said Coun. Doug Black.

“If we undertake this, is it going to be at the consequence of the starts occurring in the subdivisions?” he asked.

“Are we taking away from the (town’s) natural growth?”

“You are comparing apples and oranges,” said Thorbjornsson. “The proposal we have for the downtown core is completely different than what is happening in the subdivisions.”

“Our motive is not purely financial,” he continued. “We are a local group that lives here and works here. We are ready to invest in the rejuvenation of the downtown core. If our motives were strictly financial, we would be out in the subdivisions like the other developers. It’s time the private sector steps up and gets things done.”

Coun. Gary Strike noted that council is subsidizing individual properties and “not opening it up for everybody.”

“Right now we have a façade program (grant) for the BIA area,” he continued.

“Everyone can participate in that. However, in this project there are only certain people that are going to benefit. I don’t

think it’s fair to the other ones. The taxpayers are subsidizing it.”

“Gary, you are so far off topic,” exclaimed Thorbjornsson. “The taxpayers are going to be the beneficiaries in this case because of long term financial benefits. This is revitalizing the downtown core, and if you think you are subsidizing some properties, you have it wrong.

The investment is coming back many times over.”

Strike reiterated his point to Thorbjornsson. “We are subsidizing by lowering the price of our properties,” said Strike. “If you want to pay full price, I don’t have a problem with it.”

“You want to sell it at full price and get no future gain, rather than adjusting the land price today and reap the benefits for the rest of time?” he asked. “That’s pretty poor business.”

“No matter who we sell it to we are going to benefit,” countered Strike.

“Some appraiser has come up with the value of $190,000 for the Allan St. lot and $245,000 for the Beckwith St. property,” said Thorbjornsson. “But what is an appraisal? It’s an indication or someone’s best guess on what the market will bring.”

He said the town failed to prove the value of those properties and no information from those appraisals has been shared.

“In the case of those two properties the market has spoken,” continued Thorbjornsson. “No other offers have been received and therefore the offered price is the best and highest value available to the seller.”

Perhaps the true value of those properties for the town lies in the opportunity being presented by the DDG: jumpstarting the revitalization and beautification of the downtown core.

“This is a task that council promised before the last election,” said Thorbjornsson.

Moreover, he pointed out that dealing with a local group would have a much greater impact on the local economy than dealing with someone from outside the community.

The DDG would deal with local trades and cater to businesses at home.

“The investment does not leave once the tenants and the new owners move in,” said Thorbjornsson. “It stays in our community.”

At this time there are several major developers in the various stages of building in Carleton Place.

“None of these developers have shown any interest in undertaking the task we want to do,” said Thorbjornsson. “In-fill and redevelopment is risky business.”

Assembling the DDG was no easy task.

“Our proposal has to be a private and public partnership,” said Thorbjornsson.

“Without extended participation from the town, this opportunity will be lost.”

He stressed the DDG is not asking for a financial contribution but merely the adjustment in land prices and waiving of regular fees, which would yield a very positive cash flow to the town, and breathe new life into the downtown core.

“This opportunity can’t be wasted,” said Thorbjornsson. “We can’t drop this ball.”

“Does something on property number one need to happen in order for something on property number two to go ahead?” asked mayor Wendy LeBlanc.

“Could these developments occur by themselves?”

“The reason I have been successful in building the group we have formed is that I have intrigued the people who are already invested,” answered Thorbjornsson. “They already live here and they already want the greater good for the downtown core. They are willing to take a financial risk because they believe

it will turn things around. Will they be willing to build one building that won’t really change anything? I doubt it.”

The right spirit has been drummed up in the DDG to tackle a task that has been worked on for many years without a lot of results.

“If we do what we have proposed, we believe it will bring the pride of ownership back to the downtown,” said Thorbjornsson. “We think it will snowball into all the smaller developments.”

“I think everyone here realizes that when you ask a question you are not asking it because you are against something,” said LeBlanc. “I just think it is a question that needs to be asked.”

“We’ve studied that main street to death, spending tens of thousand of dollars,” said Coun. Jerry Flynn. “It’s stagnant. It’s the same main street that has been sitting there for decades.”

“With all that’s proposed here, there’s going to be 237 units,” said Strike. “Twohundred and thirty-seven units mean about 500 people. Five-hundred people represent a new policeman and fireman and education (schools).”

According to a media release issued by the town: “This proposed investment in the downtown area by the private sector closely aligns with the goals in the town’s new Official Plan to revitalize the downtown. It also perfectly complements other private redevelopment projects recently approved in the downtown and municipal projects like Market Square and expanded public space on the river at the town hall.”

At the end of the meeting, which Coun. Rob Probert chaired, a couple of issues were outstanding: sale price and payment of development charges.

On Tuesday night, May 7 (after Canadian Gazette went to press), a counter offer was discussed at the planning and protection committee meeting. See next week’s edition for details.

Creating a culture of safety for everyone Creating a culture of safety for patients, residents, employees, physicians, midwives students, volunteers and visitors is the mandate of the Occupational Health and Safety Committees for Almonte General Hospital (AGH), Fairview Manor (FVM) and the Lanark County Ambulance Service (LCAS).

“The two committees, one in the Hospital and Fairview Manor and the other in LCAS, have worked very hard to improve our culture of safety,” says Rena Bowen, who is the Director of Special Services for AGH/FVM and is an advisor to both committees. “They have done a very good job.”

North American Occupational Safety and Health Week is May 5-11, 2013. Its goal is to focus employers, employees, partners and the public on the importance of preventing injury and illness in the workplace, at home and in the community.

“Thanks to the work of the Committees, the ratings in all three divisions for Creating a culture of safety for everyone. workplace injuries are better than the average for their counterparts across the

province,” said Ms. Bowen.

Each year, the two Committees focus on five different occupational health and safety elements, ensuring that AGH, FVM and LCAS comply with provincial legislation and meet regulatory requirements and standards.

All employees are aware of which five elements being addressed each year. Employee training is provided, if required.

In 2013, two of the five elements the Occupational Health and Safety Committees are focusing on include a review of the organization’s health and safety policy statement and worker

wellbeing.

“For example, for worker wellbeing, we may do a session on how to stay healthy when you work shifts,” explained Ms. Bowen.

President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider keeps staff updated through her staff/CEO forums on the progress the organization has made in the area of occupational health and safety.

The AGH/FVM Occupational Health and Safety Committee includes two worker representatives who belong to the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), two worker representatives who belong to the Ontario Nurses’ Association, one worker representative who belongs to the International Union of Operating Engineers and one non-union worker representative. An equal number of management representatives also sit on the Committee.

The LCAS Occupational Health and Safety Committee includes two worker representatives who belong to CUPE and two management representatives.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The majority of Ontario businesses employing workers are covered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). However, under new legislation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bill 119 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; independent operators, sole proprietors, some partners in a partnership and some executive officers who work in construction are obligated to have WSIB coverage.

Randy Hillier, Ontario PC Labour Critic and Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) representing the riding of Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, said the intended goal of Bill 119 is to capture more people to pay mandatory premiums who are unlikely to ever claim for an injury.

The bill, which was implemented this year (Jan. 1), forces independent contractors in Ontario to pay for inferior, redundant mandatory WSIB coverage, he added.

Last month at Beckwith Hall, the MPP hosted a well-attended information session to discuss Ontario labour

legislation. Topics of discussion included WSIB (Bill 119), College of Trades (apprenticeship ratios and compulsory trades); closed tendering, and cardbased certification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill 119 was passed in 2009,â&#x20AC;? said Hiller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, it was not implemented until this year.â&#x20AC;?

He noted construction businesses are permitted one exemption from the rule â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a person who does not perform any construction work on any building site, including on-site supervision.

Moreover, coverage is not required if the sole proprietors, partners, independent contractors or executive officers engage in home renovation construction work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renovation work only includes work where the constructor is paid directly by the homeowner,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier.

Bill 119 creates a penalty for independent operators in construction who fail to register with the WSIB within 10 Photo by TARA GESNER days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Repealing it would take a change in Last month in Beckwith Township, Randy Hillier, Ontario PC Labour Critic and local Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) hosted a wellgovernment,â&#x20AC;?

DICK Elaine Louise Dick (Maiden Name Dean) Born in Toledo, Ontario on January 29th, 1935 - Passed away in Lanark, Ontario on May 2nd, 2013, Elaine, who cherished her family, passed away at home with her husband, daughter, and grandson, at the age of 78 years old, following a difficult battle with cancer and will be sadly missed. Elaine had 12 brothers and sisters, and was the second oldest daughter of the late Albert Dean and Nellie (Catchpole) of Plum Hollow, Ontario. When Elaine was in her early 30s, she left Ontario and travelled to Didsbury, Alberta to marry Calvin Jack Dick. For 40 years, she worked a variety of jobs alongside her husband on a small mixed beef farm. Elaine had fond memories of being a caregiver in the Didsbury Region and described it as a job that gave her much joy. Prior to her move west, she spoke often of her time spent as a “mender” at the Glenayr Knitting Mill in Lanark, Ontario where she worked after her mother’s death when she returned home, from Toronto, to help her father care for her younger siblings. In 2007, Elaine and Calvin moved back to Lanark, Ontario where she spent the last few years of her life surrounded by her siblings, numerous nieces, and nephews. She will be greatly missed by her immediate family. Elaine loved to dance, enjoyed music and concerts, playing cards, was a gifted knitter and canner, and took every opportunity to travel to various places. She enjoyed spending time with her family, friends and was a dedicated grandmother. Elaine is survived by her husband Calvin, daughter Talva, and grandson Ethan.

She is pre-deceased by her parents and siblings; Gerald, Joy, George, and Sharon. She is survived by her siblings Charles, Gary, Ross, David, Albert, Richard, Randy, and Debra.

Elaine’s family would like to sincerely thank the compassionate staff from the Cancer Clinic at the Kingston General Hospital, the Palliative Care team from Saint Elizabeth’s Health Care, the Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), Red Cross Care Partners, Bayshore Home Health, and Dr. Azarat. We could not have been able to provide the care Elaine needed without you. A memorial service will be held on Sunday May 19th, 2013 at 2:00 pm, at the Blair and Son Funeral Chapel, Perth. Friends and family in Alberta who will be unable to attend the service in Ontario will have an opportunity to pay their respect during a memorial barbeque in the summer of 2013 in Didsbury, Alberta. The date of the service will be announced in the Didsbury Review at a later date. Donations can be made to the Palliative Care Division of either Saint Elizabeth’s or to the CCAC home health services.

Jeff Barr Celebration of Life At Jeff’s request we are having a Celebration of Life on Sunday, June 2, 2013 from 2-4 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club. Please join Cynthia, Tom and Jordan for an afternoon of food, laughter and memories.

DAWSON John “Craig” It is with extreme sadness that parents John and Mary Dawson, with brother Mark, announce the death of their 35 year old beloved son, John “Craig” Dawson, on Wed., May 1, 2013, at his home in Plano Texas, in the arms of his loving wife, Catrina. Craig suffered with Stage IV Malignant Melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. He fought a courageous battle for four years.

There is joy in knowing that he is at peace with his Lord and Saviour in heaven.

Craig was born on Dec. 25, 1977, at the Riverside Hospital in Ottawa. He married his wife, Catrina Gilchrist, on Oct. 19, 2002, in Milwaukee, Wis. They have one son, John “Truman” Dawson, age 4. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Dudley and Evelyn Craig of Kemptville, Carl Dawson of Winchester, and Aunt Kathy Craig of Brockville. Craig attended Commonwealth Public School in Brockville, where he was known as the “computer whiz kid,” and Thousand Islands Secondary School. He graduated from Carleton University in Ottawa with an Honours of Commerce Degree in 2000. In his summers, he enjoyed working with both Vriend Construction in Greely and D&C Masonry in Kemptville. After graduation, he was employed in New York City as vice-president of finance for AIESEC, United States. He was a member of the Society of Management Accountants of Ontario. After moving to Texas from Florida, he was a financial analyst for Xerox in Dallas. Craig was a handyman extraordinaire, a water safety instructor, an excellent cook, and a straight-faced amateur comedian. He loved to water ski at the cottage known as “Little Chesterville on the Rideau,” near Kemptville. His spiritual education began at Trinity United Church in Chesterville, and continued at both Brockville Wesleyan and Standard Churches. He was the bookkeeper at Cornerstone Wesleyan Church in North Gower. Craig and Catrina are members of the One Community Church in Plano. Craig’s faith guided his servant heart throughout his life, including his participation in Kairos Prison Ministry, and the Appalachia Service Project. A Memorial Service to worship God and celebrate Craig’s life will be held at Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, 6556 Prince of Wales Dr., North Gower on Sat., May 11. Visitation is at 1:30 pm with the service at 3 pm.

Memorial donations may be made to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, the Kemptville District Hospital, or Cornerstone Wesleyan Church. Catrina will host another celebration of life on Tues., May 14 at 2 pm at Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco, Texas. Donations there are requested to go to the Mary Crowley Cancer Research Center.

Thanks to everyone for their outpouring of love and prayers.

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

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

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

Walter (Wally) Pullen 1933-2012 It’s been a year since you’ve been gone and each day I miss you more.

My Precious Love Sometimes I tell myself, that you’re not really gone.

I feel your tender touch and no longer feel alone.

I see us walking hand in hand like we use to do.

It’s hard for me to accept… that your life on earth is through.

There were so many dreams we had not yet fulfilled, all the hopes of a future that we were going to build.

All our friends and family have been so very kind, they try hard to ease my broken heart and my troubled mind.

But how can my heart be mended, when it has broken in two?

Part of my heart is still on earth, the other part left with you.

It is hard to see tomorrow, when I can’t accept today, Because the “Love of My Life” has been taken away.

I will always miss you, Sweetheart, time will not erase the pain, All the raw emotions of losing you, words will never explain.

I will cling to the warm feelings, you brought into my life, maybe somehow it will ease my confusion and emotional strife.

Someday we will be rejoined in Heaven up above, but while I’m still on earth I will cherish every memory of our precious love.

Somehow those precious memories will have to carry me through, Until the time comes for us to walk hand in hand for an eternity… together… me and you.

Your loving wife Janet

CRAWFORD, Judy – January 1, 1948May 11, 2011.

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

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

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

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

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

In our hearts forever, Don, Mandy, Julie, Shelby, Kyla, Brianne, Blaire

THE EMC - A/CP15 - Thursday, May 9, 2013

LOCAL NEWS tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The Almonte Lions Club (ALC) has announced the names of nine Almonte District High School (ADHS) students who are the 2013 finalists for the prestigious Robert Tait McKenzie Scholarship Award.

The candidates are Andy Bassett, Kathryn Hallett, Morgan Jeffries, Justin LaForest, Maddie Nolan, Taya O’Connor, Bailey Smith, Billie Storie and Warren Vibert-Adams.

“These finalists were selected by an ADHS nomination committee, based on academic excellence, contribution to the sports life and social life of the school, as well as leadership and voluntary service,” said Ann Bird, chair of the Almonte Lions Charitable Foundation (ALCF).

The ALCF believes the youth of today are the key to a caring and prosperous tomorrow.

Nominees will be honoured at the 47th Annual Robert Tait McKenzie Scholarship

Awards ceremony and dinner on Tuesday, May 21 at the Almonte Civitan Hall – at which time the winner will be announced.

“Once again the finalists are amazing individuals,” said Bird.

“It will be challenging to choose a winner.”

The ALC sponsors the prestigious affair. The ‘Joy of Effort’ is the night’s theme.

The award is given to memorialize Almonte’s native son of Almonte. The local service club initiated the scholarship in 1967 as a Canadian Centennial project.

McKenzie was a medical doctor, athlete, artist and sculptor. In Almonte in 1931 he restored the old gristmill, which he named the Mill of Kintail.

The mill is his memorial, a museum displaying some of his sculptures – war memorials, athletic pieces and medallions.

All nominees will be given three minutes to shine in front of the audience (business and community leaders, friends, parents, teachers and more).

The victor is decided by a group

consisting of ADHS staff and trustees from the ALCF. The honour carries with it a monetary scholarship and a miniature bronze replica of the ‘Joy of Effort’ plaque – the wellknown McKenzie sculpture, which graces the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden.

Every year the Robert Tait McKenzie Scholarship Awards ceremony and dinner attracts a sellout crowd.

This year’s guest speaker is Joanne Winslow-Spragge, an ADHS graduate and first winner of the award. “She will speak of her ‘Joy of Effort’ as she moved on from ADHS then returned home to make a difference in the Almonte community,” said Bird.

Tickets for the affair cost $25 each and are available at the ADHS office, Baker Bob’s in Almonte (73 Little Bridge St.) and from any Lions club member. Festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. In 2012, Ali Morton was declared the winner.

For additional information, call Bird at 613-256-1169.

“The Ontario Labour Law states that only 48 hours are given to respond to notice of certification,” said Hillier. “A majority of workers on a job site can vote in favour of certification to unionize the entire workforce.”

Scott Reid, local Member of Parliament (MPP) also attended the information session.

“I believe enough is enough on all our labour legislation,” said Hillier.

He reminded information session attendees, “Democracy does work when people speak out.”

College of Trades The Ontario College of Trades is the new regulatory body for the province’s tradespeople. It is responsible for issuing licences and certificates of membership, investigation and discipline mechanisms, setting standards for training and certification, reviewing and setting apprenticeship ratios for all trades, and deciding which trades become compulsory.

At first, membership is compulsory for only the men and women who work in the 22 trades in which certification is a must, such as electricians, auto mechanics and sheet metal workers.

“There are currently 157 trades in the province,” said Hillier.

The college is similar to those for doctors, teachers and lawyers, he continued.

Membership rates for 2013: apprentices, $60; tradespersons, $60; journeyperson candidates, $60; journeypersons, $120; and employers and sponsors, $120.

“The idea behind this is to end up with a Quebec-based model,” said Hillier.

Another topic discussed April 3 was closed tendering – a closed agreement between unions and municipalities or government agencies that prevent any form of tendering by other competitors.

Providing an example, Hillier explained the Toronto District School Board is bound to a closed tender agreement with the Maintenance and Construction Skilled Trades Council.

Almonte family recounts MVTM launch Roger’s House experience Rosamond exhibit on a person’s soul. It can be devastating, unexplainable and heavy with grief.

But they are so skilled and grounded that they never let those struggles impact on the care they provide, or lose sight in the greater picture. They have the ability to process those experiences in a manner that enables them to continue in this profession. They are a true inspiration to the community that they serve and deserve to know that they are greatly appreciated.

Although all of these qualities make them unique, these nurses take things one step further.

When we adopted our son Oliver, they threw us a baby shower. When our feelings and emotions became too much for us to handle, they listened, hugged us and absolutely held us up when our daughter took her last breath. On the occasion where Sue and I were able to take a break, they held our daughter, loved her and cuddled her, always letting her know she is loved and will never be forgotten.

The look in their eyes and the love coming from their entire body was undeniable and what makes them above all others.

For me to say thank you to the nurses at Roger’s House will never be enough. This week I choose to celebrate the undeniable fact that there may have been a special group of women who just might have loved Zoey as much as I did. Knowing the women that they are and seeing them with many other exceptional children, I cannot deny that this love is given to all the children and the families who receive services at Roger’s House. That, in and of itself, is incredible.

Roger’s House is a home away from home because it has been able to employ the greatest nurses who make the home a home.

On behalf of all the families and children who have been blessed to have experienced your level of care, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our wish for you is to continue to be able to give your gift to many more exceptional children and their families.

Please also know that you are forever in our thoughts and will always and proudly be remembered as part of Zoey’s life journey. It is because of you that we were able to embrace and aspire to be better caregivers and for that we will forever be grateful and thankful for your existence.

EMC News – Almonte has had many important families in its history who contributed to the town that we know and love today. One of those important families is the Rosamonds.

A new exhibit at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, ‘The Rosamonds: A Woven Family Legacy,’ will revisit what made this family so important with a special history exhibit commemorating the family’s contributions to the industrial mills of Almonte. The exhibit will also interpret the social impact this family had on Almonte and its citizens.

Housed in the former offices and warehouse of the Rosamond Mill, the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum presents ‘The Rosamonds: A Woven Family Legacy’ exhibition from May 14 to July 20, with a special vernissage on Saturday, May 18 from 2 to 4 p.m.

EMC News – The following was written by Almonte resident Melissa Pfeil, who is grateful for the care provided by nurses at Roger’s House during the illness of her late daughter, Zoey.

As I wake today, there are but a few things I will forever be grateful for. In this moment of reminiscing, I know full well that a simple thank you will never be enough for all that I have been blessed with. As I take the time to celebrate and commemorate the life that was once lived, I cannot but be brought to the realization that there were several individuals who enabled me to breathe during the most difficult time in my life.

I have been blessed with an exceptional wife, the person who has seen me at my worst, but who takes the time every night to tell me she loves me. I have three amazing children, who I know have given me reason to continue to face each day. And I was blessed with the most inspirational daughter, who has taken her last breath, but continues to offer me gifts from heaven.

As I remember and cherish the memories of my little girl who has forever changed me, I also remember the most amazing nurses at Roger’s House, because they too have forever changed me.

Our family spent many days at Roger’s House in order to receive some much needed respite, but to also receive some guidance about how we can continue to meet the ever changing medical needs of Zoey. During these days and weeks our family was embraced, accepted and received unconditional love and support.

Nursing Week is more than a week where we celebrate and let the nursing profession know how they are appreciated for the hard work that they do. To our family it is about offering our thanks, not only for the exceptional work that the nurses at Roger’s House provide, but also for their ongoing commitment they have for children who are faced with life limiting ailments.

The nurses at Roger’s House provide such an elite level of care that there are no comparisons that can be made to others. They are a true gift and represent the nursing profession with great poise, professionalism, skill, and competency.

There is no secret that the job they do can be wearing

Relay For Life fundraiser aims to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flush cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; through research law, dad and second sister who also lost their battle.

The Relay For Life experience is one of varied emotions from sorrow to hope when the survivors take to the track for the survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lap. The Walkie Talkies group has three survivors that have taken part in this joyful celebration of what fundraisers like Relay For Life have been able to achieve.

The 2013 relay event taking place in Almonte June 7 and SFDCI June 7.

Both events start at 7 p.m. and marks the 75th anniversary of the Canadian Cancer Society. The society is celebrating this special event by launching a website (www.75years.cancer.ca) where 75 stories are shared that covers all the ways the society has positively impacted the fight against cancer.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A bright blue or yellow potty is adding a touch of colour to some Smiths Falls and Carleton Place area lawns this season as part of an ongoing Relay For Life team fundraiser.

The Walkie Talkies relay team, who will be taking part in the June 7 relay event at Gemmill Park in Almonte this year, is hosting this unique communitywide fundraising initiative to tackle the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $5,000 fundraising total from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully with the potty weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll raise more than that,â&#x20AC;? said Tasha Waugh, team member.

The potty was first deposited on the lawn of a family and friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawns, but has since made its way around the community. Each person to receive the potty can then pay $5 to have it removed, $10 to remove it and find out who sent it to them; $15 to remove it, find out who sent it to them and have it sent on to someone else or $20 for all the above and potty insurance so it never returns to their lawn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have our first victim of nonpotty insurance,â&#x20AC;? Waugh said.

The fundraising initiative has received a positive response from unwitting participants so far, including Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc who was in her garden Monday, April 29 when the potty was unexpectedly delivered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really was a lot of fun. We had a good laugh at that,â&#x20AC;? LeBlanc said.

Following a waste audit that found that the average family diverted only 29% of possible recyclables, five Lanark County municipalities, working under the lead of our Carleton Place Public Works Development Coordinator Wayne Fraser, made significant changes that will move each municipality closer to the Provincial Government target of 60% diversion.

R0012081039

By making recycling easier and accepting more recyclables, Carleton Place is encouraging its citizens to participate to a much greater degree than in the past. Virtually all plastics, including plastic bags, can now be placed in blue boxes for curbside pickup, and for the first time, milk cartons, juice boxes and frozen juice containers are accepted, too.

I’ve heard some grumbling that because the town is changing to one un-stickered garbage bag allowed per week (with three bags over the Christmas holidays) households will have six bags fewer per year than in the past. That’s true, but quite simply, good recyclers will find the new limit easy to meet because of the additional, often bulky, plastics allowed in blue boxes.

Sometimes changes such as those coming into effect can result in increased costs, yet this new program will actually result in considerable savings for Carleton Place and some of its partner municipalities.

In fact, by working together, the Continuous Improvement Fund and Waste Diversion Ontario provided Carleton Place with a grant covering 90% of Mr. Fraser’s salary while he oversaw the creation of our new multi-municipality recycling strategy. With more items being recycled, less garbage will go to expensive landfill sites and the tipping fees associated with dumping garbage will decrease. A higher waste diversion rate will give each municipality more annual incentive funding from Waste Diversion Ontario. And, best news yet, by hiring the company Matrec for waste collection and recycling services, the town will save $100 000 annually for the next seven years over the costs in the past.

Watch the EMC, your mailbox, slideshows in public buildings, and the town website for information in the coming weeks. On June 1, Carleton Place is becoming greener and our tonnage to landfill is becoming leaner.

Extra sets of bowls are available for new members. Thanks to the sponsorship of Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place, the club received a new set of bowl carriers, making moving

ALBC was formed in 1911 and has occupied the same building and greens on Robert St. in Almonte since 1933. According to photographs and trophies found around the clubhouse, the former members have enjoyed a vigorous program of tournaments and social events.

ALBC belongs to the provincial affiliate of Ontario Lawn Bowls Association and is a member of District 16 of that organization. It is the only club in this area, the nearest ones being in Galetta, Goulbourn and Smiths Falls.

Explore the works of local artisans at Brooke Valley Spring Tour May 18 to 20 EMC Events – The area known as Brooke Valley, 15 minutes west of Perth, was resettled in the late 1960s by young people seeking a quiet back-to-the-land lifestyle in which to live and raise their children. Trendsetters without knowing it, they grew their own local organic food and lived simply. Learning from the farmers living around them, they reduced, re-used and recycled long before it became popular.

Over the ensuing years, most residents of this area made their living as artists, carpenters and teachers.

They have contributed to many dramatic, artistic, literary and musical events in Perth and the surrounding area.

When these folks needed something they did not have, they created it. When parents wanted a familycentered, cooperative school with a strong emphasis on creativity, they formed Brooke Valley School. This school has been successfully running for over 35 years. Employment sometimes being hard to find, the local artists opened a cooperative art gallery for their wares, the Riverguild Fine Crafts, an excellent store located on Gore Street in Perth, also in existence for 35 years.

Later, the Perth Autumn Studio Tour was launched to showcase the work of local artists on display in their own studios. The Brooke Valley Spring Tour followed this long line and got underway in 2007.

The Brooke Valley Spring Tour is now in its seventh year and takes place Victoria Day weekend, May 18 to 20. It features the work of many wonderful artists whose work is gathered in two main locations just three kilometres from each other.

Tour goers can enjoy free chamber music concerts twice daily at studio 2, partake of delicious desserts and beverages at studio 3, and buy locally grown annuals and perennials sold by the parents of Brooke Valley

The Brooke Valley Spring Tour kicks off its seventh season May 18 to 20 and will feature artists at three different stops throughout the area, including the works of painter September Scribailo, left, and the musical stylings of Richard Hoenich and his Chamber Music Concerts, above.

School also at studio 3.

A map and detailed descriptions of the artists work can be found on the website www.brookevalleyspringtour.ca but for the readers benefit, here is a brief taste of what can be experienced.

At the home and studio of potter Rita Redner (studio 1), Redner will have her beautiful and functional

stoneware pottery. Familiar guests are Barb Mullally and Robert Pauly.

Mullaly’s passion for the creative process is evident in her work. It reflects her love for jewelry design and fabrication, and her enjoyment in solving technical challenges.

Pauly is best known for his fanciful cocktail hats decorated with feathers and handmade silk flowers.

He also makes art quilts that explore the use of colour. New this year at studio 1 is Diane Falvey of Stony Brae Farm with her tasty, homemade preserves, jams and jellies made from fresh in-season ingredients grown on her farm or locally sourced. Her tasty products are noncertified organic and contain no additives or preservatives.

Studio 2 is the location of the Chamber Music Concerts. Lead by bassoonist and conductor Richard Hoenich, the concerts are free of charge and will be held twice daily at 1:30 and 3 p.m. They offer an array of chamber music selections by a diverse group of musicians and will vary each day. Parking is available down the hill from the studio.

The third studio features artists, food and plants. This is the home and studio of Anne Chambers, who produces functional pottery for everyday use and special occasions glazed in colours reflecting her rural environment. Guests include September Scribailo with her encaustic paintings, natural beeswax, damar resin, and pigments. Anais Fritzlan also returns this spring with her pleasing and practical purses and bags.

A new addition to studio 3 is Susanne Leduc, a jeweller working in the newest jewelry metal, niobium, a lightweight, modestly priced alternative to gold for people with metal sensitivities that can be coloured.

Studio 3 is also the location of the plant sale, a great place to buy your bedding plants while supporting Brooke Valley School at the same time.

Desserts and beverages provided

by Anna Lianga will be served in a café-style setting on a delightful screened-in porch. Her tasty offerings include gluten and vegan options and there will be organic coffees and teas available.

Altogether, this tour is a wonderful outing for the day, an opportunity for a picturesque drive through the country, with sights, sounds and tastes for everyone. We hope to see you there.

Please note that not all studios accept credit/debit cards. If you have any questions, please call 613-2678759 or visit www.brookevalleyspringtour.ca.

Pivotal time for one of Canada’s closest friends comes and goes thank Canada for the significant role played by the Canadian Army in helping free Holland from five years of Nazi occupation.

Tulip festival The gift of tulip bulbs was the catalyst for one of the best known and most colourful events in Canada’s capital city, the annual Canadian Tulip Festival in OttawaGatineau. This year’s festival began Friday and concludes on Victoria Day (Monday, May 20).

Certainly the Dutch royals have never forgotten the kindness of Canada and its people during the painful period in which they were forced from their homeland and sent overseas for their own safety.

Princess Margriet is a major link between the two countries. She has visited the land of her birth on numerous occasions. Margriet has been in Ottawa many times. Last year she received an honorary doctorate from McMaster University in Hamilton.

I had the experience of seeing and photographing Margriet. But that was in Holland and not Canada.

My wife Kathleen and I had the honour of accompanying a group of World War II veterans from Carleton Place (where we reside), Lanark County and Ottawa to ceremonies in The Netherlands in May 1995. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Holland and the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.

Princess Margriet was among the dignitaries who attended a special service of remembrance at Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery near Nijmegen in southeastern Holland (near the German border) on May 6, 1995.

More than 2,300 Canadians killed during the Dutch campaign, including a number from Carleton Place, Lanark County and communities across eastern Ontario are interred at Groesbeek.

I was covering the WW II anniversary events in Holland for the newspaper group I worked for at the time. I distinctly remember taking Margriet’s photo as she walked past our position (no more than a metre away) on a sunny, hot spring afternoon.

The princess was in the company of her husband Pieter van Vollenhoven Jr., a lawyer who, until recently, chaired the Dutch Safety Board. The couple have been married for 46 years.

Their four sons all carry the title Prince of Orange-Nassau which is the official designation for the Dutch royal house.

In the days leading up to the investiture of King Willem-Alexander, the streets of Amsterdam were awash in

orange, the national colour.

The date of the ceremonies was chosen to coincide with ‘Queen’s Day’ in Holland, April 30.

Queen’s Day has always been an excuse for partying in Holland.

The investiture provided even more reason for celebration. It’s estimated nearly a million people joined the street party in Amsterdam last Tuesday with bands playing and a carnival atmosphere pervading the

country’s largest city and constitutional capital.

Earlier in the day an estimated 25,000 jammed Dam Square to see their new monarch in person.

Most were dressed in the colour of the House of Orange or they had donned orange hats, wigs or pretend crowns.

As the former Queen Beatrix stepped on to the balcony of the Royal Palace her eyes welled with tears. The 46-year-old was accompanied by his wife Maxima, a former investment banker from Argentina who is Holland’s new queen.

Some controversy surrounded the marriage in 2002 because Maxima’s father served in Ar-

gentina’s military dictatorship 30 years earlier. Today polls show she is even more popular than her husband! During the official ceremony held in the 600-year-old De Nieuwe Kerk (or New Church) the king swore an oath to uphold the Dutch constitution. The monarch is not officially crowned although a crown and other trappings of the position were on display during the ceremony.

The Dutch throne was stripped of its political influence by an act of parliament last year.

Among the dignitaries on hand for the much anticipated event were Britain’s king in waiting Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Dutchess of Cornwall.

Canada was represented by Governor General David Johnston and his wife Sharon.

My memories of The Netherlands are of a clean country, with an efficient transport system and picturesque farms and communities. It is a nation all Canadians should visit if at all possible. Because no one is more popular in Holland than Canadians!

By sheltering members of their royal family and helping free the country from tyranny Canadians earned a permanent place in the hearts of the Dutch.

EMC Lifestyle – The tulips are blooming in Ottawa and The Netherlands has a new monarch, the first king to rule the tiny European nation since 1890. There is a very real connection of course!

Newly-crowned King Willem-Alexander is the son of former Queen Beatrix who formally abdicated last Tuesday (April 30) after 33 years in the mainly ceremonial role.

It wasn’t the same kind of abdication that rocked Great Britain in the 1930s. King Edward VIII voluntarily gave up the throne in order to marry “Mrs. Simpson.” The twice divorced Wallis Simpson caused a scandal when she stole the heart of England’s monarch. Government and public opposition prompted by the king’s intention to marry Simpson (thus establishing her as his consort) eventually forced Edward’s hand. He agreed to step aside in favour of his younger brother Albert. The father of the present Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Albert was crowned King George VI. By comparison the situation in Holland last week was very deliberate and well planned. Nor is abdication unprecedented there. Princess Beatrix (she reverts to her birth title) has followed in the footsteps of her mother, Queen Juliana and her grandmother, Queen Wilhelmina.

Princess Beatrix, 75, has simply retired. So in this case the word “abdication” carries a much softer tone than it did in Britain in 1936.

The Canadian connection to the Dutch royal family was once well known, even familiar, to most here.

In our “modern world” that is probably not the case anymore. The teaching of history – even modern history – has taken a beating in Canada in recent times!

For those who aren’t familiar with the story I will explain. In 1940 a young Princess Beatrix and her sister Princess Irene fled the Nazi occupation of Holland. In the company of their mother, Crown Princess (later queen) Juliana they crossed the Atlantic where they lived in exile in Ottawa until the end of the Second World War in 1945. Beatrix’s sister, Princess Margriet, was born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital in 1943. The maternity unit was proclaimed “extraterritorial” by the Canadian government so that Margriet could be born a citizen of The Netherlands.

Following the family’s return to Holland, Queen Wilhelmina gave Canada a gift of 100,000 tulip bulbs, the familiar national flower of The Netherlands.

The gift was given to express the gratitude of the Dutch royals for their safe exile in Ottawa as well as to

Solid cast helps latest Iron Man film approach perfection MOVIE: Iron Man 3 STARRING: Robert Downey Jr. Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Ben Kingsley DIRECTOR: Shane Black RATING: PG EMC Entertainment - The modern superhero is far from perfect. They make mistakes and they deal with a host of issues. While the modern superhero may not be perfect Iron Man 3 is pretty close.

After the events in New York Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a mess.

He spends all his time in his workshop, he can’t sleep and he’s beginning to have panic attacks. He needs to pull

himself together because there’s a new threat on the horizon.

The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) is a terrorist who has made it his personal mission to teach America a lesson in fear. He strikes without warning and without mercy. All of America’s military and intelligence agencies have been focused on finding the Mandarin including James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) the newly minted Iron Patriot. Unfortunately no one can find him.

Then the Mandarin blows up Mann’s Chinese Theater. Tony’s former bodyguard and friend, Happy (Jon Favreau), is caught in the explosion. In the heat of the aftermath Tony challenges the

My Take MARK HASKINS

Mandarin, and the Mandarin answers.

Using attack helicopters and a small army of a new kind of super soldier the Mandarin attacks Tony’s home destroying everything. Tony manages to get Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) to safety, but he’s dragged down to the bottom of

the ocean. He escapes, but his amour is wrecked, his home is destroyed, and the world thinks he’s dead.

If he’s going to defeat the Mandarin he needs to unravel the mystery of the Mandarin and find him. He’ll need to do it soon, because the Mandarin has Pepper, and he plans on striking again.

Robert Downey Jr. was born to play Iron Man. We’ve seen the cocky billionaire superhero genius before, which Downey does so well, but he also gives us the vulnerable and flawed man inside the armour.

I can’t imagine anyone else playing Pepper Potts. Gwyneth Paltrow abso-

lutely shines in this film. Her Pepper is the perfect partner to Downey’s Tony in every conceivable way.

Ben Kingsley gives the Mandarin a whole new twist in a performance I can only describe as genius.

Guy Pearce steps into the story as Aldrich Killian the head of Advanced Idea Mechanics or A.I.M. Killian is as brilliant as he is maniacal, and Pearce is perfect.

Iron Man 3 is how you make superhero movies. Great effects, great action, great performances and a great story.

Our vision for the event is for an inclusive gathering that will bring together young and old, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, church and secular in a shared journey of listening, learning, and reconciliation.

The focus of the event is the history of the Algonquin Nation and its territory. It is a history that our community needs to know, as Lanark County exists on Algonquin Lands. Land settlement negotiations continue at this time between Algonquin leaders and the Government of Canada.

There is value for all citizens in knowing and understanding the Algonquin history so that we are informed and can appreciate the

complexities, promote justice and support reconciliation during this process. Through education, such things as stereotypes, misinformation and misunderstandings, as well as fears, can be discarded and replaced with a new relationship grounded in mutual respect, friendship and understanding.

The event is co-sponsored by The Town of Carleton Place and KAIROS: Ecumenical Justice Initiatives.

Perth’s Studio Theatre to finally receive elevator

The Perth Studio Theatre is currently undergoing renovations to install an elevator in the building. Above, standing at the bottom of the elevator shaft, site supervisor J.P. Howard, right, shows Studio Theatre board president Bruce Neil the location of the rails and hydraulic cylinder. a most gracious and accommodating neighbour, permitting us to use his showroom as our main entrance and box office during performances, which, by the way, have continued unabated throughout the past two months in true show business tradition, the show must go on.

Indeed, we haven’t missed a beat (or a performance) since the project began, thanks in large part to close coordination and planning on the part of the prime contractor, Guy Saumure and Son from Smiths Falls, and their on-site supervisor, J.P. Howard. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and everyone is working to complete the project as quickly as possible while

minimizing inconvenience to our valued patrons. The successful run of ‘$38,000 for a Friendly Face’, which ended this past weekend, went off without a hitch despite the construction, and there are a number of upcoming musical events and a comedy show in May. So it’s business as usual at the Studio Theatre while we renovate to serve you better. Visit us in May for the best in musical entertainment, and watch for the announcement of a special event to mark the completion of our elevator installation and other renovations. For details about upcoming shows, please visit studiotheatreperth.com.

Province unveils plan for new infrastructure fund EMC News – The Ontario government plans to create a fund of $100 million for 2013 to 2014, to help small, rural and northern municipalities build roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure.

The government recognizes the unique needs of these communities and the importance of high quality infrastructure in all areas of the province.

This would also help support the local economy and construction jobs across Ontario.

“Across the province, Ontario’s infrastructure challenges require tailored solutions. This fund would help small, rural and Northern com-

munities build the infrastructure they need, while creating jobs and building our economic prosperity,” said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne.

This investment would be the first step of a comprehensive transportation plan for rural and northern Ontario.

Making sure every part of the province can move with ease is part of the government’s plan to create jobs and build a prosperous and fair Ontario.

“Our government’s infrastructure investments are strengthening communities and creating jobs for people across Ontario. This important new

funding program would continue to stimulate local economies while helping municipalities take care of their most critical infrastructure priorities,” said Glen Murray, Minister of Infrastructure and Minister of Transportation.

The new fund should be available

by Oct. 1 and the province will consult on the components of a permanent program for roads, bridges and critical infrastructure investments in small, rural and northern municipalities.

The government recognizes the importance of infrastructure and has invested approximately $85 billion in public infrastructure since 2003.

EMC News – That’s right, the Studio Theatre in Perth has just gotten ‘the shaft’…but not in the way you might think! It’s an elevator shaft, focal point of a major renovation project to provide full and easy access for everyone to the secondfloor auditorium.

With more than $103,000 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, a contribution from the building owners, and money raised by the Studio Theatre itself through 50/50 draws, fundraisers and donations, the reality of a full-service, self-operated elevator is now closer than ever.

Just last week, construction of the elevator shaft and an adjacent elevator equipment room was completed, in preparation for installation of the elevator itself, support rails upon which the car will ride, and the hydraulic and electrical equipment.

The installation will be undertaken over the next few weeks by Cambridge Elevator of southwestern Ontario, followed by testing and safety certification prior to the unit entering service.

THE EMC - 51 - Thursday, May 9, 2013

1939 Chrysler Royal produces a decade of lasting memories EMC Lifestyle – Ralph Coles of Hamilton, Ontario, writes: “I learned to drive on a 1939 Chrysler and I courted my future wife of 62 years in that car.”

The Coles lived in the northern Ontario town of Charlton, where they operated a hardware business.

In the summer of 1939, shortly before the war, Ralph’s dad and mother, Newton and Beryl Coles, headed for New York City in their 1935 Dodge. When they reached Toronto, the transmission was howling and they looked around for a better car.

They visited Ontario Automobile, a large Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in downtown Toronto, where they saw a dark blue 1939 Chrysler Royal sedan with fresh new styling in the showroom. They tried to buy it but the dealership would not give them enough for their trade-in.

Returning to their motel or tourist cabin on the lakeshore, they spotted a Chrysler dealer sign at a one-bay service station.

The owner/operator was a sub-contractor for Ontario Automobile and gave them a good trade-in for their ’35 Dodge. The Coles then bought from him the exact same car they had seen on the showroom floor in downtown Toronto! Their car had a Windsor factory price of $1,316 and Toronto delivered for $1,343.

A flathead six of 245 cubic inches cranked out 100 horsepower.

The Chrysler had 4-ply tires, and Mr. Coles, being a Goodyear dealer for many years, ordered a new set of 6-ply tires. Now they were off to New York.

At the outskirts of the city, young men jumped on their running boards and offered to drive them downtown. Dad kept driving himself right to Times Square. They visited the Empire State Building and the World’s Fair, and they saw a new gadget called television.

Ralph and his mother frequently applied a special white paint to the tires, and these “whitewalls” looked just as good as real ones.

When he was 14, Ralph was given permission to drive the Chrysler in the winter to get water from a river. The roads were slippery and Ralph slid into a cement flume sticking out from the power house.

“My dad could say more to you with a look than with words and he was not amused,” recalls Ralph.

“The Chrysler dealer in New Liskeard straightened and repaired the front fender, replaced the headlight, and straightened the bumper, all for $28, when some labourers made only a dollar a day.”

Ralph’s dad kept the Chrysler for ten years, then traded it for a 1949 Studebaker Champion, but that’s another story…

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

THE EMC - 52 - Thursday, May 9, 2013

Grateful for CHEO’s Support Jonathan was diagnosed with epilepsy, a complex neurological condition. Although some people with epilepsy have mild symptoms, others like 2WVI\PIV PI^M N]TT Æ MLOML KWV^]T[QWV[ \PI\ TMI^M him unconscious.

After the initial excitement that his seizures were under control thanks to medications commonly used to treat epilepsy, they returned with a vengeance. In fact during one such episode his parents had to call 911 to ensure their son would make it to CHEO as quickly as possible because he was struggling to breathe.

By Isabelle Mailloux Pulkinghorn

Jonathan Puerto was born healthy but a few weeks later began having seizures after he woke up from his naps. Worried, his parents Elizabeth Pineda and Jose Eduardo Puerto took him to their pediatrician who referred them to CHEO. Under the trusted care of Dr. Sharon Whiting, a pediatric neurologist, Jonathan underwent testing to identify the cause of the severe seizures he experienced on a daily basis, some of which left him ]VKWV[KQW][ IVL Å OP\QVO \W JZMI\PM Tests revealed a lesion on the front left side of his brain, the result of a stroke he had likely suffered at birth. Then at six months of age, following additional testing to eliminate other conditions,

To make things worse, when Jonathan was six years old, he had a severe allergic reaction to the standard seizure drug that paramedics carry and went into anaphylactic shock.CHEO specialists were able to help him and to search for another medication to control his seizures.Dr. Whiting PMZ[MTN KITTML XIZIUMLQK [MZ^QKM[ IVL WNÅ KQIT[ I\ Ottawa Public Health to lobby for Jonathan. They _MZM ^MZa ZMKMX\Q^M IVL VW_ PI^M I [XMKQÅ K KIZM XTIV [XMKQÅ KITTa \IQTWZML \W VMML[ IVL 2WVI\PIV now carries his new medication with him at all times to ensure paramedics can access it when he needs to be transported to CHEO. “That is the CHEO difference. Our son’s doctor took the time to not only identify the best medicine for him, but she made calls herself to various agencies to ensure they’d use this new medication to keep our son safe,” explains Elizabeth, who shudders as she recalls a particularly severe seizure that lasted 24 hours. “Without that care plan, Jonathan’s life would be at risk.”

Further tests revealed that Jonathan also suffers from cerebral palsy, and he’s since been diagnosed as having autism.Despite those additional challenges, Jonathan is thriving. He speaks three languages, and is in a special needs grade four class where he loves working on the computer, playing with trucks and being with his friends. One role he particularly enjoys is that of older brother to his 18 month old sibling David.

Ultimately, the goal is for Jonathan to live his best life, seizure-free and safe. For now, there has been some progress: though he still has occasional seizures they only last 10 minutes or less, as opposed to hours at a time—and their frequency decreased from daily episodes to once every two weeks.If Jonathan’s seizures were to come back at a higher frequency, the next step would be brain surgery but his parents are hopeful that he can avoid that… at least for a while.

“Jonathan is a good boy and he’s so handsome,” coos Elizabeth. “My husband and I are very proud of him because despite all his health issues he remains a positive little boy who is very loving and caring.

Every morning he wakes up with a smile on his face.

We are lucky to have him and his brother David.”

Jonathan will be ten years old in June.With the help of his loving family, their friends and the expert CHEO staff, this young boy can trust that he is in good hands and that he will be well cared for with a treatment plan tailor-made to his needs.And this is something the Puerto family is truly grateful for.
