EMC News – What would the world do without volunteers?

The Town of Mississippi Mills honoured one of its greatest helpers Friday night, May 10, with the dedication of the Ron Caron Auditorium at Almonte Old Town Hall (AOTH).

The well-attended affair featured musical entertainment by Fiddleheads from Barrhaven and Noreen Young puppets, Miss Mills and Jacob Bluejay, as well as drinks, cheese and light snacks from Café Postino and Foodies Fine Foods.

“I am pleased to speak tonight on this very special occasion in honour of Ron Caron,” said Coun. Alex Gillis. “I’ve known and admired him for a very long time.”

The two men worked side by side on the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM) board of directors and building committee, and currently sit on

the AOTH committee.

Mississippi Mills has a terrific volunteer movement which makes its arts and cultural life possible.

“Ron is one of our many volunteers, a very remarkable volunteer,” said Gillis. “This is why we are honouring him by dedicating the Ron Caron Auditorium.”

Applause erupted from the crowd, who gave the honouree a standing ovation.

The AOTH auditorium is Caron’s special love and he, its friend and helper. For 25 years (1989 to 2013) he has offered unconditional and dedicated support to the auditorium as an advocate, leader, committee member, technical advisor, designer, builder, electrician, lighting technician, sound technician, donor and doer.

“This applies to all areas of this auditorium, this marvellous venue (from the front hall to back stage),” said Gillis.

It was Caron and a small group that carried the scaffold-

ing upstairs and built it to hang the curtains at the back of the hall and on the stage. Caron and his wife also built and hung the frame and lighting for the art exhibits in the hall.

Furthermore, Caron has been active with the MVTM and town clock at the old post office, as well as many events and festivals.

“He’s provided uncountable hours and invaluable support, dedication and sacrifice to the cultural life of the community,” stressed Gillis.

Maureen Nevins, chair of the AOTH committee, recognized Caron as an absolutely exceptional volunteer deserving of very special recognition. ”The (AOTH) committee’s recommendation to name the auditorium after him was considered to be most appropriate,” said Gillis, “and it was well supported in the community and approved readily by council.”

EMC News – Carleton Place councillors will get the chance to learn more about both sides of the debate regarding fluoridation in drinking water.

The occasion will come June 4 at an information session – held upstairs at the town hall at the start of the regular Carleton Place council meeting at 7 p.m.

Council finalized details for the gathering at last Tuesday night’s (May 7) physical environment committee meeting, which was chaired

by Coun. Jerry Flynn.

Parties for (Dr. Paula Stewart, medical officer of health at the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit) and against (Rob J. Fleming, president of Canadians Opposed to Fluoridation) will make a presentation and address questions from council members.

“Mr. Fleming is coming from Waterloo,” said Flynn.

“I would hate to restrict the amount (of time) of his presentation, as well as the medical officer of health.”

Coun. Louis Antonakos requested staff not have a loaded agenda June 4.

“Therefore, it gives us the appropriate time to deal with this,” he said.

Mayor Wendy LeBlanc suggested the presentations be limited to 20 minutes.

“I think 20 minutes each is more than reasonable,” she said, “and there will be a fair amount of time for questions.”

Antonakos agreed with LeBlanc.

“However, I have a question,” he said. “What about members of the public in the gallery? Are they going to be permitted, encouraged to participate – ask questions?

Is this only for committee members? I would hope the public would be invited to

participate.”

The town’s chief administrative officer (CAO), Paul Knowles said he already received one request to register to speak on the agenda item.

“I suggest we follow our normal procedure, which is the flexibility of the chair,” said deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg.

“I want clarification,” said Antonakos. “This is very important. Is there a commitment from this council to allow comment on this particular item that evening?”

“How many hours, or are you simply talking about a comment?” asked Sonnenburg.

“That is a separate question, deputy mayor,” stated Antonakos.

“The time is one thing.

The other is: Will we entertain questions from the gallery?”

“It is up to the chair,” said Flynn.

LeBlanc agreed with Sonnenburg that normal procedure be followed.

“However, I just want to remind everyone that the initial reason for having this was to educate council on both sides of the issue,” she added.

“I think we need to make sure council members have ample opportunity to ask all the questions they have.

Time permitting, we go to questions from the floor – as we normally do.”

Coun. Doug Black asked if council would be making a decision on June 4.

“I think it would be premature,” said Flynn.

Coun. Rob Probert said he is not entering into any debate during the information session.

Flynn reiterated the session is informational with an opportunity for questions.

According to Knowles, Carleton Place has fluoridated its water supply since 1962.

Landowners learn how to co-exist with beavers at recent workshop

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No one likes bad neighbours and beavers could be described as the peskiest kind. A recent workshop in Perth showed landowners how to work with the industrious rodent rather than against it.

Stewardship councils from Lanark, Lennox & Addington, Frontenac, Hastings and Renfrew County came together to host the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beavers and Usâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workshop at the Perth Civitan Hall on April 22. The day-long event featured several guest speakers, including Cherie Westbrook, professor and researcher in the Hydrology Centre at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. She spoke about the effects of beaver activity at the watershed scale.

Rideau Valley Conservation Authority director of watershed stewardship services, Rudy Dyck also enlightened the packed house on how local conservation authorities have joined together with property owners and municipalities to develop mitigation techniques for beaver problems.

Mike Richardson, public works supervisor for Central Frontenac Township also had some insight for attendees on what municipal roads departments face each spring and fall with flooding due to beaver activity. He said landowners need to take care of their properties and that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t up to municipalities to do that for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landowners are one of the biggest problems municipalities have.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not looking after the damns and marshes on their properties,â&#x20AC;? he

More than 200 interested landowners, stakeholders and municipal representatives, above, packed the Perth Civitan April 22 for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beavers and Us,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; a day-long workshop. The event, which featured several guest said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seminars like this will help the understanding spread throughout the municipalities so they become part of the solution rather than them complaining to the municipalities, who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything anyway (because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private property).â&#x20AC;?

Richardson stressed that municipalities arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t responsible for beaver maintenance on private property, but that he understands higher levels of government need to provide

support for programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senior levels of government need to provide clear legislation to municipalities...and fewer restrictions and in a timelier manner,â&#x20AC;? Richardson expressed, adding that the process to contact landowners to gain access to their properties takes too much time.

Lack of funds in public works department budgets is another issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to have budgets established to handle changes and better ways of

speakers offering various solutions for beaver management, was hosted by the stewardship councils of Lanark, Lennox & Addington, Frontenac, Hastings and Renfrew County. dealing with beavers and marshlands,â&#x20AC;? he stated.

By being proactive, Richardson said property owners can make beaver situations a lot less stressful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any support you and your fellow landowners can provide us saves you and whatever township youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, a lot of time and money...we need to cooperate wherever we can to make a better relationship between us, beavers and the wetlands themselves,â&#x20AC;? he noted.

Management tools One of the big draws at the workshop was professional beaver manager Michel Leclair, who spoke of the tools and plans he has developed for successful beaver management. Leclair has been tackling beavers and collecting information on their habitat characteristics for the past 35 years in Gatineau Park. He was also featured on CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Beaver Whisperers.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have beavers in your backyard, they give you lots of problems,â&#x20AC;? Leclair admitted.

The secret to managing beavers is controlling where they live, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you control the habitat, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to control the population.â&#x20AC;?

Leclair took the audience through the different control devices he has put in place at dams in Gatineau Park, which as 167 monitoring points, 208 water control devices, 57 beaver fences and 26 diversion dams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some devices stay for 10 to 15 years but the best one I had remained 25 years without touching it,â&#x20AC;? he remarked. After being set up, the devices are inspected twice a year and maintenance is done whenever needed. Data is collected and regular reports are generated as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a bible of all the control points. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty large book,â&#x20AC;? Leclair added.

To truly understand the way beaversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds work, he said that first you have to look at the history of the area and what happened when beavers were trapped for their pelts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That changed See BEAVERS page 5

Mississippi Lakes Association annual general meeting June 1 EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In 2011, the Mississippi Lakes Association executive voted in favour of engaging in a lake plan for Mississippi Lake. The purpose of this lake plan is to work together to protect what we love about our lake now and for the future.

Mississippi Lake has undergone a lot of development in the last few years.

Now we expect even more back lot development to occur. Every lake has a capacity for use it can endure. Any new development and use puts a strain on the health of our lake by bringing in more boaters, fishermen, putting more pressure on our water quality, the health of

our wildlife, etc. What impact do you think these things will have on the water quality of the lake or on your property value? How you enjoy the lake? Think these things are worth getting involved in to protect?

Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be nice to have a game plan in place before all this new development happens or before our fish numbers begin to dwindle that will help us protect our precious resource? This is what a lake plan can do. In it we can let the municipalities know what development, land uses, and land controls are in keeping with our vision of the lake and its surroundings. How itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important

to lake residents that any new development, land uses etc. wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any detrimental impact on the health and wellbeing of our lake. We can let the government agencies, municipalities, stakeholders and each other know what we value most about our lake so that we can protect those aspects of it for our and future generations.

We can let each other know what about the lake is important to us and that maybe we need to change how we do and look at things to make our lake better. Things like clean water to swim in, nice fish to catch, a safe lake where kids can play and boat, the call of the loon on

a hot July night. And most importantly we can state how we all work together to protect our lake. Its our lake, no government is coming to protect it for us, we have to do it.

Do you think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something worth investing time and money in? Do you think you would like to help out the Mississippi Lakes Association do that?

We on your association want all these things for our lake. Your association members have been working hard with the Mississippi Valley Conservation and the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds and have secured a $70,000 grant over the next two years, through the Trillium

Foundation, to help us complete this plan. But the plan can only be completed if the residents and other stakeholders of the lake get involved.

We need your help. Complete the survey at www.lakemississippi.ca and plan to attend our annual general meeting Saturday, June 1 at 9:30 a.m. at the Carleton Place Curling Club. Refreshments and door prizes will be available.

To join the Mississippi Lakes Association, visit the above website.

BEAVERS From page 4

the habitat a lot,â&#x20AC;? he pointed out, stating that a beaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s habitat cycles between 10 to 50 years.

He went through a number of different devices (some using metal spikes and caging) he has put in place at beaver dams. Beavers work on sound and stimulus so wherever the water is running, they are going to try and block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you make culverts and the water is running through it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stimulus and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly where the beaver will make a dam,â&#x20AC;? Leclair said.

Beaver fences are a popular tool, which can take the stimulus out of the culvert and the fence prevents the animal from getting to the running water, therefore they will create a dam along the fence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It works well but you do have to clean it out periodically. Debris gets stuck in it and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an easy task,â&#x20AC;?

Leclair stated.

By using these devices and techniques, Leclair said it is possible to co-exist with beavers. When the floor was opened up for questions, he was asked if trapping is still a humane option for beaver maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on what you consider humane. They (traps) can catch a lot of animals that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to catch but the more humane and faster thing to do is a 22-calibre bullet in the head,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the main thing you want to try and do is eliminate all the

Camp Quality benefits from big car show weekend in Lombardy

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News – Since Camp Quality opened in Lanark County in 2000, members of a local car club have been donating to a cause that benefits children with cancer.

“I remember the initial phone call,” said Glenn Mooney, director at Camp Quality. “It was Terry Irish who called me and we’ve been partners with them ever since.

They’ve been wonderful with their ongoing support.”

Camp Quality is currently taking registration for children ages five to 18 who would like to experience a fun week of summer camp in August.

“Typically, (children) are referred to us through word of mouth or through CHEO,” Mooney says. “We don’t turn anyone away.”

Last year, there were 33 children who took part in the camp that runs the first week in August.

Mooney and his wife Pam started the eastern Ontario Camp Quality. They don’t own the campsite at Providence Point near Lanark, but only rent it for the week to provide this service, typically to children who have ended their cancer treatments.

“We were asked… we couldn’t say no,” he said.

They don’t have children of their own, but 18 nieces and nephews…and a Newfoundland dog named Bear.

“Camp Quality is a good time for kids to come and have some fun and it also gives

their parents some respite,” Mooney said. “If a child is a first-time camper, we usually invite their siblings to attend as well.”

Mooney says that there are a number of volunteers who accommodate a single camper.

There are two for each child, plus support staff of doctors and nurses on site.

Some of the friendships forged between the child and his or her camp counsellors (who are all adults usually in their 20s or 30s) have lasted for years.

“We have some matches who have been together for three and four years,” he said.

“Kind of like Big Brothers and Big Sisters.”

Car show It’s been for almost a halfcentury that the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada (ACCCC), Rideau Lakes Region, has been shining up its rigs for the spring car show in Lombardy. This year’s event is slated for May 25 and 26.

“We’ve been having this car show since about 1965,” said Andy Holdham of Manotick, president of the ACCCC, who has a 1936 Chevy classic of his own.

“And every year since Camp Quality has been in existence, we have donated (money) to help children who are undergoing cancer treatments.”

Members of the club live in Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, Kemptville, Manotick, Winchester, Metcalfe, Russell, Greely,

Kanata, Barrhaven and Orleans, but Holdham said most of the members are from the Smiths Falls area.

“We’re from all over… and we attract a great deal of people,” he added, including from Ontario, Quebec and northern United States.

This two-day event will feature flea market type vendors of crafts and automotive specialists in and surrounding the agricultural building, complete with ’50s and ’60s music and an evening beef barbecue for anyone who would like to grab bite to eat.

There will also be a car corral for those who wish to sell their old classics. A $10 fee will apply for those wishing to take advantage of this opportunity.

Sunday is the main event, with a car show slated from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. – with free registration from 8 a.m. to noon – complete with 15 different categories of judging.

From modified vehicles, to original classics, pro stock and restored antiques, there will be judging by fellow owners with awards presentations at the end of the afternoon, approximately 3 p.m.

“These old cars are neat to look at, but even neater to watch and hear one drive by,” Holdham said, as the car show will feature a drive-by of sorts as the old buggies are cranked over for a parade around the racetrack.

“We normally parade about 18-20 vehicles and I’m hoping to get up into the 1950 models,” he said. “It’s neat to hear the chugging of the old

1916 Model T owned by a member, Terry Irish, or a 1923 Buick with a different sound all together and we’ll extend that (parade) up to the ’50s and ’60s models.”

Holdham said this event is about the camaraderie, networking and having fun with other like-minded car folks, as well as raising funds to keep the club running throughout the year. A Camp Quality donation is just one way they help in the community.

“It’s about seeing cars and talking to people with the same interest, and maybe seeing restoration of a car

like one you’re working on… it’s about getting advice and finding parts, or just about having fun and enjoying the old cars,” he said.

One of the highlights for the ACCCC is having fun with the kids at Camp Quality.

“We always go camp and take the kids for rides in the old cars,” said Holdham.

“Their faces just light up when they take a ride in some of those cars,” added Mooney.

“They hop on into the rumble seat and away they go.

“The Antique and Classic Car Club have been a great support to us for the past 13 years, both financially and

with their involvement at camp,” Mooney said.

“We truly appreciate all of their efforts and support of our program. They are great people!”

Camp Quality will be on site during Sunday’s car show for anyone interested in more information – or visit www. campquality.org or call 1-800294-7841.

For information on the car show, call 613-692-2438.

Vendor spots are still available as are entries for the car show.

There is a nominal fee of $2.50 general admission and children 12 and under are free.

Making the perfect cottage pass Manage Your Money

In sports, a perfect pass is a thing of beauty. Your cottage is also a thing of beauty – a place for fun times with the people you love.

But at some point, you will want to pass your cottage on to others, probably your adult children. To help you avoid potential obstacles like excessive taxation and maybe even some surprising opposition, here’s how to make the perfect cottage pass and ensure it will stay in the family for a long time to come.

Don’t get blindsided Wayne Gretzky famously said that he skates to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been. When you’re thinking about who to pass your cottage to, do you rely on what has been or do you consider what is going to happen? For instance, your adult children have always enjoyed the cottage – but will they in the future when you’re no longer around?

Talk to your children now and if there are those who do not want ownership responsibilities, you can help avoid future family squabbles by ensuring they are treated fairly in your will.

Make the easy pass Plan now to avoid excessive tax liabilities when you make the pass. Unless you’re passing assets to a spouse or common-law partner, when you die you’re deemed to have disposed of your capital assets at fair market value – meaning that if your cottage property has appreciated, your heirs could face a significant capital gains penalty.

A less-taxing pass: Transfer the property to your kids while you are alive, either as an outright gift or by selling it to them at fair market value. (Selling for less can result in double taxation.) Spread out the capital gains triggered by the sale by making the payments over a five year period and claiming the capital gains reserve, so that only 20% of the capital gain is taxable in any one year.

Alternatively, transfer the property as a trust, with your kids as beneficiaries.

This transfer option will also trigger an immediate capital gain but future capital gains on the property will accrue

to you children and are not payable until they sell the property.

Insure your pass Cover cottage capital gains – and other estate debts – with permanent life insurance.

The death benefits are usually tax-free and can provide an essential source of cash to pay any taxes so your family won’t be forced to sell assets, such as your cottage.

The perfect cottage pass should be an essential part of your overall financial and estate game plan. Your professional financial and legal advisors can help ensure your plan is perfect for you.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

CROW recognizes support for Raising the Bar initiative DEAR EDITOR: On May 1, we held a Raising the Bar celebration which recognized early learning and child care programs for succeeding in a voluntary accreditation program at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI).

I would like to thank the custodial staff for their warm welcome and assistance to make sure our evening was successful. I would like to express my gratitude to Chef Burns for his leadership with the hospitality program which provided the refreshments and food for the evening. The students in this program were polite, professional, and attentive.

I received many compliments from our guests on the food and the exemplary service the students provided at this event.

I would like to acknowledge and thank Jade Gregg for providing her expertise on the sound system for the evening. Jade provided assistance at all times and stayed until our event was over to make sure we had no technical difficulties. She went beyond the call of duty which I am very grateful for.

I would highly recommend SFDCI for your next event.

Sincerely, Diane Bennett Raising the Bar Coordinator, Lanark

COMMENTARY Be fire safe at the cottage EMC Editorial – Opening the family cottage for the season is a treasured ritual for many over the Victoria Day long weekend.

Save for a freak evening of frost (which happened earlier this week), this is traditionally the time when the mild weather is finally here to stay and families make the trek to their summer spaces to give them a good spring cleaning.

While you’re washing the linens, scrubbing the floors and checking for messes left by pesky critters, the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council is reminding cottagers not to forget about the dangers of fire and carbon monoxide. The council recently launched its seventh annual cottage safety campaign and is urging the public to ensure their piece of heaven remains just that by checking and maintaining smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

Though some may not be aware, the Ontario law that applies to permanent homes is also required of cottages.

Working smoke alarms must be installed on each storey of your summer home and outside all sleeping areas. While purchasing supplies to open up the cottage this weekend, be sure to add extra batteries (or smoke alarms) to the list.

Those alarms that have been lying dormant all winter must have batteries replaced as the cold weather drains them of their power.

Be sure and check the age of your alarms as well. The council recommends any smoke alarms over 10-years-old and those carbon monoxide devices over seven-years-old be replaced to ensure everything is in good working order.

Don’t take the summer off from fire safety. Just as in permanent homes, it is important to have a fire escape plan in place. Working alarms are simply an early warning sign and families require a special plan to ensure everyone gets out of a burning building safely.

Emerson has big ideas for Grampa’s visit to Northcote EMC Lifestyle – We were soon to find out why Emerson was so anxious for a visit from Grampa, who lived in Ottawa and came out to Northcote often. He drove a car with a rumble seat in it, and he never failed to pile us five kids in the back, and tear down the Northcote Side Road like someone possessed.

Only three could sit on the seat at one time, so two of us had to crouch on the floor. That was usually Earl and me.

But Grampa always stopped at Briscoe’s General Store to buy us penny candy, and that’s when he made us change places, so that we each got a turn on the seat.

I thought it was a car like no other. The running boards had real rubber on them, and there was a little patch of rubber over the back fender where you stepped to gain entry to the rumble seat.

And along the roof, inside the car, there were two hooks, and on these hooks Grampa carried a long black umbrella. It was the biggest umbrella I had ever seen. He said he used it if rained while he was lawn

bowling in Westboro.

When Grampa visited, and after we had had our ride down the Northcote Side Road, he spent the rest of his time with Mother, his only daughter, who he thought didn’t belong on a farm in the back woods of Renfrew County!

It was on one of those visits that Emerson was more anxious than usual to get our ride over with, and see Grampa settled in the kitchen with Mother. He made sure the teacups were on the kitchen table, the kettle was boiling on the Findlay Oval, and he knew Grampa would be in the kitchen for a spell.

I saw him go over to the car, and open the door on the driver’s side, and gently take the big black umbrella down off the hooks. I had no idea what he had in mind, because it certainly wasn’t raining, and it was as hot as blazes with not a cloud in the sky. It didn’t take Emerson long to drag me into the mystery, by telling me I was going to have the experience of a lifetime. One I would never forget.

to be!

If I had had an ounce of brains I would have headed for the hay loft.

But Emerson made this venture sound so exciting, I was soon waiting to see what he had in mind.

We went behind the house where the summer kitchen was attached to the wood shed. Father kept a stepladder there to patch the roof when the leaks got so bad Mother threatened to head back to New York if he didn’t fix them.

The shed roof was flat as a plate, and Emerson said it was from that very roof I was going to have the experience of a lifetime.

ing me up the ladder. He was right behind me, making it impossible for me to change my mind.

He opened the umbrella, which I thought was as big as a tent, and ushered me to the very back of the shed roof. He took a piece of paper out of his overall’s pocket. He unfolded it, and scanned it as if it held some important information. All I could see was a bunch of lines, and what looked like clouds. Emerson squinted, and spit on his thumb and held it in the air. I had no idea what he was doing. “Perfect,” he said.

“Now you hold this umbrella as high as you can over your head.

And run...and I mean run..and when you hit the end of the roof, you’ll go sailing off just like an aeroplane.

The umbrella will carry you. I’d love to do it first, but I think I’m a bit too heavy.

According to my drawings, you are the perfect weight to go soaring through the air. And don’t worry about landing...you’ll lit in the grass beside the pump.”

I looked at my brother, and looked at the roof, and looked up into the ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

open umbrella, and before I could voice my objections, Emerson gave me a shove, and I was off and running. I hit the edge of the roof in two seconds, and the umbrella and I were airborne.

Well, it didn’t take long for the umbrella to collapse like a piece of newspaper, and I landed on the hard ground, miles away from the green grass around the pump, with the umbrella covering me like a tarpaulin.

I was sure I had broken every bone in my body!

Father was just coming out of the barn to witness my flight, and he was over to the shed in a shake.

Emerson was nowhere to be seen.

My knees were covered with dirt, I skinned my hand on landing, and Father determined there were no broken bones.

He picked up the broken umbrella and walked around the shed to the kitchen. I was right behind him. Without any explanation, he handed Grampa the umbrella, and all he said was “Sometimes I think that lad doesn’t have the brains God gave a goose.”

Dutton has been fortunate to cast four of the areas most accomplished actors. The daughter Catherine is played by Mary Ann Majaury who played the young nun in ‘Doubt’ last year. Her sister Claire is played by Katharine Coleman, who is a regular in the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls and who has worked several times with Dutton at that venue.

She has also appeared in Studio Theatre’s ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ directed by David Parry.

The young student Hal is played

by Lucas Tennant who is well known to audiences in Perth, appearing in a wide variety of productions and in an amazing range of roles from a seventeen-year-old boy in ‘Rabbit Hole’ to a father and prairie farmer

re m

EMC Entertainment – Appropriately, it took Jeremy Dutton three read-throughs before he decided the Pulitzer Prize-winning play ‘Proof’ would be his third production for Perth’s Studio Theatre.

Not for Dutton the light comedies or thrillers that many community theatres embrace. Rather he likes to take on a play that challenges not only himself and his actors, but his audiences. Since he began with Studio Theatre in 2011, he has directed ‘Rabbit Hole’, a play that dealt with the sensitive issue of a family coping with the violent death of a child, and ‘Doubt’, a controversial drama centering around the even more sensitive issue of a priest possibly molesting a child in a convent school. Now he tackles ‘Proof’ by David Auburn, another story about family issues, this one dealing with a problem that is becoming increasingly common: the relationship of an aging parent who is no longer competent to look after himself and a child who must give up her life to care for that parent. And it questions the thin line between genius and insanity. It is an intriguing play that draws us in by posing questions without answers and occasionally startling us with revelations. Although it is a play about family problems, because it contains mature subject matter and some coarse language audience discretion is advised. “One of the biggest challenges,” says Dutton, “is finding the different levels, because there are a whole bunch of different levels that are within the script, but at first reading you don’t pick them up. But I always think if the actors realize what’s going on, it deepens the presentation. So every line they say gets a little more oomph to it.” The play also appealed to Dutton because of its small cast. In a community theatre, large numbers of characters are often difficult to cast and schedule rehearsal times around. ‘Proof’ features just four characters, but the roles are large

REGIONAL NEWS

Connected to your community

Youth optimism up in Canada, according to Big Brothers Big Sisters survey EMC News – Most Canadian teenagers believe their glass is half full according to a new national survey commissioned by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada (BBBSC) and MasterCard Canada. In fact, a majority of Canadian teenagers (57 per cent) believe their quality of life as adults will surpass their parents.

Only 11 per cent expect their future quality of life to be worse than their parents, while 32 per cent anticipate their quality of life as adults to be “about the same” as their parents.

The Ipsos Reid study also shows that a strong majority of Canada’s teenagers are community minded.

Eight in ten teens (80 per cent) say they are committed to giving back to the community. Additionally, 91 per cent of those surveyed believe young people have much to offer to influence positive change.

However, though they feel they have a lot of positive contributions to make to their communities, many teens felt their ideas go unheard. According to the survey, nearly half of teenagers (44 per cent) believe they are prevented from making a difference simply because no one listens to them. BBBSC in partnership with MasterCard is attempting to change that.

ership at the Big Brothers Big Sisters/ MasterCard Youth Summit recently in Ottawa. The 100 teens that attended this unique summit received youth leadership training from young Canadian entrepreneurs to inspire them to become agents of positive social change. The teens were selected from the ranks of Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs based upon their strong track records of community service. Two of those teens were from Lanark County.

“Canada’s teenagers are our country’s next generation of leaders and they are full of innovative ideas that inspire positive social change every day,” said Betty DeVita, president, MasterCard Canada. “Their voice is strong and the Ottawa Youth Summit is a great platform for an exchange and dialogue on how to build a better future for all Canadians. MasterCard Canada is happy to be a part of that conversation.”

Summit delegates represented every region of Canada and each will have the opportunity to express their views on influencing positive change to Members of Parliament.

Teens look for adult role models The survey reveals that teenagers generally have a sophisticated underInspiring the next generation standing of the connection between The study’s findings are being used community service and role models. to spark discussion about youth lead- Almost nine in 10 (89 per cent) believe

this week in

that teens with a parent or adult mentor who sets a strong example of community service are more likely to become socially engaged than those without role models.

“Parents across Canada should take great pride in these findings,” says Bruce MacDonald, president and chief executive officers of BBBSC. “Eightyfour per cent of those surveyed report that they have positive role models who have proven to them that individuals can make a difference through their actions. This speaks to the quality of parenting in Canada and the power of mentoring to inspire young people to become socially engaged.”

This optimism, however, is tempered by the fact that two in three teenagers (66 per cent) feel highly pressured and stressed about life after high school.

Other interesting findings include: • Half (51 per cent) of the teenagers surveyed are optimistic about Canada’s future, while 35 per cent are unsure. Nineteen per cent are pessimistic about the country’s future.

• Forty-one per cent are optimistic about their ability to influence Canada’s future, while 39 per cent are neutral and 19 per cent are pessimistic.

• More than eight in ten (84 per cent) are confident in their ability to meet whatever challenges the future brings.

• Eighty-two per cent have faith in their ability to influence positive change.

• Nine in ten (91 per cent) think that social engagement is important to improving our quality of life.

• Ninety-two per cent believe that influencing positive change in communities should be a priority for all Canadians, including teenagers.

• Ninety-three per cent think that individuals have the power to shape the future if they choose to get involved.

• Almost eight in ten (78 per cent) believe they are personally responsible for creating a better future.

When it comes to responsibility for positive social change, the majority of teenagers believe that social media has an important role to play.

“Fifty-six per cent of the teenagers think that social media organizations are responsible, along with governments, corporations and educators, for building a better future,” notes MacDonald. “Today’s teenagers appear set to put their generation’s unique stamp on influencing change.”

The Big Brothers Big Sisters and MasterCard Youth Optimism Survey was conducted by Ipsos Reid between March 5 and March 11. For this survey, a sample of 502 Canadian teenagers, aged 16 to 19, from Ipsos’ Canadian online panel was interviewed online. The precision of Ipsos online

polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the survey is accurate to within ± 5 percentage points had all Canadian teenagers, aged 16 to 19, been polled.

In Lanark County, more than 340 children took part in mentoring programs in 2012. The local agency works to ensure that every child who needs a mentor has a mentor. For more information about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, please visit www. bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

About Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada For one hundred years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a positive difference in the lives of Canada’s youth by developing and implementing a wide range of mentoring programs. BBBSC volunteer mentors teach by example the importance of giving back, of staying in school, and of respecting family, peers and community.

BBBSC provides quality mentoring services for more than 33,000 children and teenagers. The community-based youth mentoring organization currently has over 25,000 volunteer mentors working at 123 agencies that serve children in over 1,000 communities across the country.

A tiny piece of equipment in constant evolution Designed to elevate the ball on the tee-off, the tee has evolved considerably over the years. This simple little wooden peg has made a lot of progress and still remains an important accessory for golfers.

The time is long gone when players used a pile of sand to elevate the ball! The arrival of the wooden tee not only allowed golfers to improve their drives but also to avoid damaging the grass on the tee-offs. Tees have become much more sophisticated over the years. These days they are made mainly from variously coloured wood or plastic.

Some golfers prefer the traditional wooden tees for their effectiveness, while others will opt for those made in plastic because of their greater durability.

Large manufacturers of golf equipment are constantly searching for improvements and a wide

variety of tees are now available on the market. One option is the wooden tee in two colours and varying lengths, while the range of plastic tees is more elaborate.

Apart from conventional tees it is also possible to obtain “zero friction” tees, where the ball is placed on three small supports.

There are also oversized “brush” tees that reduce the rotation of the ball and tees of adjustable heights. Biodegradable tees made of bamboo are also available in specialized stores.

It’s hard to believe that one of the smallest and most useful accessories continues to help golfers improve their game!

Many lessons learned by CDSBEO mission trip participants chase a truck for their fleet.

Participants were extremely touched by the experience of sharing life with the people in El Cercado.

As St. Matthew Catholic Secondary School (CSS) teacher Kylie Amell noted, “what we were building and contributing didn’t seem like much to us, but to them, it was everything.”

In reflecting on the lessons learned, Holy Trinity student Alex Plant identified, “the only way to understand poverty in its truest form is to experience it first-hand.”

Ben Lawrence from St. Joseph’s CSS revealed, “I have learned to approach each day with optimism, appreciation, and hope.”

The group spent the final evening of their trip at a siesta in their honour, where they had an opportunity to dance, laugh, and say goodbye to their new friends. In addition, the students presented homeowners with a key to the new homes they had a hand in building during their stay.

address about being a Catholic graduate. This was followed by student witness talks for each of the Catholic Graduate Expectations.

Students then watched the DVD “I Believe” produced by the Institute for Catholic Education before breaking into discussion groups of approximately 40 to 50 students per CGE. Anecdotal data and feedback was recorded around four key areas of the Catholic graduate expectations: best practices, challenges, resources needed, and career possibilities steeped in the Catholic graduate expectations.

The data reflected significant insight by students into the four areas above and will be used to inform planning within the CDSBEO in the coming school year. In addition, the data will be compiled into an official conference report which will be sent to all Catholic school boards in the province, and shared with the Institute for Catholic Education.

Ontario Catholic Student Leadership Conference data report Principal of Religious and Family Life Education, Jim Roberts, and Catholic student trustee, Sean Fry, provided the board with an overview of the data gathered at the recent Ontario Catholic Student Leadership Conference held in Ottawa in April.

Co-hosted by the CDSBEO, in partnership with the Ottawa Catholic School Board, the conference brought together some 350 Catholic student leaders from across the province.

As part of the conference program, students participated in a three-hour session centered around the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations (CGE), as developed by the Institute for Catholic Education. The session was launched with a keynote

Student success board indicator data Each year, the Ministry of Education provides the board with its annual Student Success Indicator Data report. This report is compiled through data which is collected through the Ontario School Information System (OnSIS), and helps to identify areas of success as well as areas where students may be struggling. The data is also shared with school principals, who use it to help guide their school improvement plans, and to identify areas of need for teacher professional development.

Superintendent of School Effectiveness, Mark Musca, provided the board with an overview of the report, which details how well our secondary students are doing in high school.

The report provides feedback regard-

ing which courses students are struggling with, and how many of them are on track to graduate. If students are at-risk of not graduating, supports are put in place in order to ensure that learners have the help that they need to achieve a meaningful graduation outcome.

Credit accumulation data is highlighted in this report as an indicator of how well students are progressing; 95 per cent of CDSBEO grade 9 students attained all eight credits by the end of the 2011-2012 school year, while 87 per cent of students attained the expected 16 credits by the

end of grade 10. The grade 11 credit accumulation rate for the board is 90 per cent.

The information provided by the Ministry of Education is also segregated by school. This allows school teams to implement necessary supports for those students who may be experiencing challenges.

Overall, the results are extremely positive for the board, with the CDSBEO surpassing the provincial average in almost every measure of student success.

EMC News – The following are highlights from the May 7 Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) board meeting at the board office in Kemptville.

The CDSBEO board of trustees had the privilege of hearing testimonials from Cornwall Catholic secondary school students who had the opportunity to participate in the Dominican Republic mission trip over March break.

Clearly moved by their life-changing experience, the group of 11 students, and three teachers, spent March Break in the small mountain village of El Cercado. The trip marked the twentieth year that a group has gone to assist with building projects in rural mountain communities in the San Jose de Ocoa region.

The purpose of the trip each year is to achieve a greater understanding of life in a developing country, as well as to reach out in service. The late Father Lou Quinn, along with the Hospitallers of St. Joseph, began working at the mission in San Jose de Ocoa in 1965. Shortly after his arrival Father Lou, and others, saw the need and potential for organizing a community development cooperative to build infrastructure in Ocoa and the surrounding areas.

In the 20-year relationship with this organization, students and staff from our CDSBEO have helped to dig water lines, build houses, build schools, build a medical clinic, build latrines and have assisted with many soil conservation projects. In this time, almost 200 students and 25 staff members have participated in the experience. Over this time, almost $100,000 has been raised to cover the cost of the projects undertaken (an average of $5,000 per year). An additional $20,000 was raised one year to help ADESJO pur-

Eddy and the Stingrays Carleton Place appearance May 25 will assist arena fund

Top arena Under the guidance of now retired manager Joe Crampton and his successor Joanne Henderson the Carleton Place and District Community Centre, with its two ice surfaces and two upstairs community halls, has become well known as one of the best complexes in the region.

White extends special thanks to the Arena Staff Association and in particular Henderson, Jessica Smith and Steph Scollan for their assistance in organizing the May 25 dance.

“All of the money we raise will go right back into the arena,” he underlines.

“I’m hoping we’ll have a very good turnout that evening. Get dressed up, come out and have some good, clean fun.

“But you should act fast, we’ve sold a lot of tickets already,” White stresses.

As mentioned tickets are available at the arena office on Neelin St. and at Graham Shoes, 139 Bridge St., Carleton Place.

Anyone wishing further information should contact Bob White at 613-253-5046.

our own time as volunteers. We want to give back to the facility we spend so much of our time in and also help the people of the community who use it,” White states.

The association’s semi-regular dances have helped purchase a number of badly needed amenities and pieces of equipment for the complex. Included was raising monies for the fund established to put new boards in Arena 1 five years ago. Last fall the association donated $5,000 to purchase a modern sound system for the arena. It is now in use by all of those who use the facility regularly, including minor hockey and the figure skating club.

Great group As for Eddy and the Stingrays, White sums them up in one word “fantastic.”

“Eddy hasn’t been out here for some time. He says they are looking forward to playing in Carleton Place again.”

Billed as Canada’s “No. 1 Rock and Roll Show and Dance Band” Eddy and the Stingrays marked their 30th anniversary in 2010.

The band has a wealth of experience and they appear at venues across Ontario and the continent, with an emphasis on eastern Ontario.

Eddy and the Stingrays have opened for Chubby Checker, appeared at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta and the John Hancock Building in Boston. Over the course of 33 years they have performed at countless provincial, state and county fairs in Canada and the United States. Earlier this year they were inducted into the

Brockville and Area Music and Performing Arts Hall of Fame.

And that is just a glimpse of a lengthy and busy career. Their calendar for this summer already features a dozen other shows in eastern and central Ontario.

From Elvis and Buddy Holly, to the Beach Boys, Beatles and everyone in between, Eddy and the Stingrays take you on a nostalgic journey through the 1950s and 1960s, employing their own fast paced and unique musicianship.

In Carleton Place May 25 the band will perform three sets and they will wear three different sets of costumes, White notes.

He reiterates that profits from this month’s event will be added to the arena fund. Long-term plans call for an expansion and improvement project in Arena 1 which opened in 1969.

“There’s a committee in place who are looking at what it will take to add modern dressing rooms as well as improve the Arena 1 washroom facilities,” White says.

White notes that larger, modern, wheelchair accessible washrooms for the main arena have been on the “to-do list” for some time.

“The better the facilities, the better it is for everyone using the arena,” he observes.

“But this sort of work is very expensive and it will take time to raise the money. We (staff association) are doing our part to assist.”

The Arena Staff Association has been involved in a number of fundraising activities in recent years. Among the special events they have put together was a ‘Bleacher Bash’ in 2000 which raised money to outfit the then brand new second ice surface (Arena 2) with permanent seating. Originally the structure, which was built with the support of the entire community, had only temporary seating.

“We do this (fundraising) on

up in clothing from that era and of course we are encouraging that. Buy your tickets, put on your glad rags, come out and have some fun.”

White even has a lead for those who wish to purchase clothing made especially for the occasion. He suggests Carleton Place area residents call Bev Hynes at 613-257-5802.

“Bev makes some wonderful costumes and she has some available for sale for this event.

Poodle skirts, tops, chokers – items that fit the occasion. They aren’t expensive so if you are interested give her a call,” the chief organizer advises.

The arena hall will be suitably decorated for the occasion. “Even the bowls for the late night snacks will be made from old (vinyl) records,” White says.

Prizes will be awarded to the ‘Best Dressed Couple’ and the ‘Best Dance Couple.’

EMC Entertainment – Those who attend an upcoming concert and dance in Carleton Place will find themselves transported back to the roots of rock and roll.

The always popular Ottawa band ‘Eddy and the Stingrays’ will perform at Carleton Place and District Community Centre (the town’s arena complex) on Saturday night, May 25 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sponsored by the Carleton Place Arena Staff Association the venture will take the form of a 1950s and ‘60s era dance. It will be held in the main upper hall of the arena on Neelin Street. Tickets, at $20 each, are available at the arena office or Graham Shoes, 139 Bridge St., Carleton Place.

All proceeds from the venture will go to the Carleton Place Arena Fund which is in place to raise money needed to make long-term improvements to the complex. The arena is one of the main focal points for activities in the growing town of 10,000.

Bob White, senior facilities operator at the arena (he works for the Carleton Place Department of Recreation and Culture), is the chief organizer of the show and dance. White is well known for running numerous fundraising activities in the community, especially music shows.

“We expect this to be a really popular show. We are limiting attendance to 300 in order to have a larger dance floor,” White explains.

“There is something about that musical era. People come out in groups to enjoy an evening of nostalgia, dancing and fun.”

Popular Carleton Place musician and entertainer Jack Denovan will be the emcee for the event. A light lunch will be served as part of the ticket price at approximately 11 p.m.

White says a ‘50s and ‘60s dance “creates a totally different atmosphere than most (music) events.

Marking tragic anniversary costly for Canadian taxpayers Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

those in which so many died! He is an explorer, but says such sites are â&#x20AC;&#x153;ocean graveyards that should be left as they are.â&#x20AC;?

I know he is appalled at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lootingâ&#x20AC;? of the Titanic site that has occurred over

the course of several decades. He was equally angered by the massive haul of artifacts from Empress of Ireland which lies in just 130 feet of water, within easy reach of divers. Due to its depth the Titanic wreck is accessible only to those in mini subs.

In something of an irony, numerous recreational divers died during descents to the Empress which developed a reputation for being very dangerous.

I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad the Canadian government took so long to act, allowing private individuals to reap a harvest of items that should have been left where they were. I totally subscribe to Bal-

and exhausting journey that eventually brought them to a new life.

Because of lack of good record keeping in those days there is some discrepancy as to the exact dates. What is known is that the Hardy family came to Canada aboard the Empress of Ireland.

What makes it especially interesting for us is that my grandmother always said the Empress tragedy occurred while the vessel was returning to Liverpool on the home leg of the same voyage that brought her and the rest of the Hardy family to Canada. That much she was absolutely certain about!

Next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th anniversary observances will be keyed by the planned display at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Some controversy swirls around the exhibition. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the key artifacts were salvaged from the submerged wreck by Montreal diver Philippe Beaudry during expeditions before laws were enacted to regulate the practice.

In a front page story April 29 the Ottawa Citizen newspaper revealed the museum paid Beaudry $1.75 million to acquire his collection. The artifacts carried an appraised value of $3.075 million. It is thought a tax receipt from the federal government may have accounted for the remainder?

The acquisition, financed in part by a $425,000 grant from the Department of Canadian Heritage, concludes protracted negotiations between Beaudry and the federal government. Included in the sale is the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brass fog bell which is considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;the jewel of the collection.â&#x20AC;? It alone was appraised at $1.75 million. Other artifacts include navigation equipment, furnishings and personal objects, china and silverware, documents and books and even a remnant of the ship itself.

The sale of salvaged objects from death ships such as Titanic and the Empress of Ireland always draws flaks from critics who argue historic wrecks should be left undisturbed as a tribute to the dead. I agree with that thinking! The items involved should have been left where they were.

The vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final resting place was rediscovered by divers in 1964, some four kilometres from the shore of Pointeau-Père, Quebec which is the home of a regional museum commemorating the sinking. The location is 500 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not the fault of the present government. Past administrations bear the shame of ignoring the importance of the wreck and allowing the Empress to be visited by divers who stripped the vessel of untold artifacts (numbering in the hundreds) and sold Family connection them to the highest bidder.

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This week I am going to bring you up to date with regard to an ongoing story which has reached an expensive conclusion for Canadian taxpayers. I have written about this twice previously in recent years.

The Canadian Museum of Civilization, located in the Hull sector of Gatineau, is currently preparing an exhibition on the tragic story of the ocean liner â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Empress of Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The displays, which are scheduled to open to the public next year, will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the vessel in the St. Lawrence River in 1914. The 99th anniversary is coming up later this month.

In the early morning hours of May 29, 1914 the Empress sank near Rimouski, Quebec after colliding with the Norwegian collier â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Storstadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in thick fog.

The 14,000 ton ship capsized and sank in just 15 minutes taking 1,012 people to a watery grave. Among the dead were 840 passengers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight more than the number of passengers who perished when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Titanicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; famously struck an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic, off the coast of Canada, two years earlier.

The centennial of the Titanic tragedy was observed on April 15 of last year and made news around the world.

The reason Titanic had a greater loss of life (more than 1,500 perished) than the Empress is because she carried far more crew members. More people to care for the needs of her well heeled passengers!

The Empress was mainly an immigrant ship which brought ordinary people to the New World. Her sinking was our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest maritime disaster. Yet in typical Canadian fashion the name and the tragic story of the big ship isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t well known. I blame that partly on a system that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teach enough of our young people Canadian history.

Along with our characteristic low-key approach to publicizing or even talking about Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own triumphs and tragedies!

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in disturbing ship wrecks. But at least some of the artifacts which had already been taken from the submerged Empress will be put to some practical use, helping teach history.

My wife Kathleen and I regularly travel by air between Canada and Europe. The simplicity of modern jet travel stands in sharp contrast to the difficult ocean passage for immigrants in the 18th, 19th and early 20th Centuries.

Countless people traveled by ship from Liverpool and other ports in the United Kingdom and Ireland to begin new lives in Canada.

County’s first housing, homelessness plan nears completion of draft stage

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Lanark County has confirmed seven priorities when it comes to how it will tackle the realities of a housing shortage and homelessness in its rural communities.

The priorities were confirmed after two public meetings were recently held in the county to gauge stakeholder feedback.

Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples attended the Smiths Falls meeting a couple of weeks ago and has urged his council peers to provide their comments this week for inclusion in the report before it is submitted to the county and then ministry for approval.

One suggestion he had was to expand on the recommendation to consider surplus municipal land for potential affordable housing development from the municipal level to all levels of

government land.

Smiths Falls Coun. Lorraine Allen applauded the county’s efforts to draft this inaugural document for the region, saying: “I think it’s something that’s going to really help us as we move forward.”

Coun. Jay Brennan expressed his surprise at the extent of the problem facing the community.

He noted 180 families are currently on a waiting list for housing in Smiths Falls and that these individuals can wait up to 594 days for emergency placement.

The county’s plan is split into seven priorities: increasing access to housing, ending homelessness, non-profit housing, private market, coordination with community services, meeting a broad range of community needs, and environmental sustainability.

“We did keep it fairly high level,” added Sandy Grey, La-

nark County housing manager, of the process going forward.

“We hope to be able to go to the Lanark County Community Services Committee in June with a draft.”

Before this takes place staff is working to draft the plan’s background, measurement items and a working definition of what is affordable housing.

Of all the action items highlighted in what will be the draft report, Grey said increasing communication with the public and establishing new community partners is a critical priority going forward.

“People don’t even know the programs we currently have,” Grey added. “They could make a big difference to community members.”

A copy of the county’s priorities is available on the Smiths Falls website (www.smithsfalls. ca) under Town Hall, Council, Council agenda and minutes.

Volunteers, billets needed for Classic Theatre Festival EMC Entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Despite the snow flurries that disappointed many a local resident last weekend, summer is on its way, and the Classic Theatre Festival is gearing up for its fourth season of professional productions of shows from the golden age of Broadway and the London stage.

This year, the productions will take place at a new venue for the festival, the Full Circle Theatre at 26 Craig St. in Perth.

As part of the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preparations, volunteers are being sought for a variety of rewarding opportunities to get involved with this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s productions, which include Neil Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Star-Spangled Girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (July 12 to Aug. 4) and Leslie Stevensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Marriage-Go-Roundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Aug. 9 to Sept. 1). Volunteer roles include front-of-house staff, working on the painting and construction of sets (in conjunction with Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-winning designer David Magladry), assisting with marketing the festival and

Local agency receives victim service award at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Recently, the Lanark County Community Justice Program was the proud recipient of the 2013 Victim Services Award of Distinction.

The Lanark County Community Justice Program is a restorative justice initiative that offers community-based court diversion services to youth and adults.

The award was presented to Christine Peringer (board chair), Sheri Halladay (program coordinator) and Joellen McHard (executive director). The three were invited by the Minister of the Attorney General to attend the ceremony at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and receive the award on behalf of the organization.

The Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Victim Services Awards of Distinction program was started in 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These extraordinary individuals and organizations help victims of crime rebuild their lives.

They are a credit to the victim services community across Ontario, and I am proud to recognize them for their tremendous

work,â&#x20AC;? said John Gerretsen, Attorney General. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our program facilitates faceto-face forums where people directly involved and affected by an incident come together with the help of trained volunteer facilitators to discuss what happened, listen to what others have to say, and reach a decision about how to make things right,â&#x20AC;?

McHard shared.

She added that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is important that victims get a chance to voice their concerns, obtain insight about the incident, and have input into how the offender will make amends.â&#x20AC;?

Accused persons have an opportunity to take steps toward repairing the harm. Another important outcome is steering the offenders toward community services which might help them to avoid making similar mistakes in the future. The justice system benefits by a reduction in expensive court costs, in line with the values of the provincial â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justice on Targetâ&#x20AC;? initiative. The police benefit by being able to refer

cases that meet their community policing mandate. And of course, the community as a whole benefits when problems are resolved in a positive way by the people most affected and because of the low incidence of repeat offences by those who participate in the program.

Our program deals with minor criminal offences and most of our clients are youth in trouble with the law for the first time.

To qualify, they must be willing to take responsibility for their actions. Some people think the restorative approach is â&#x20AC;&#x153;soft on crimeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but our clients tell us that it is a lot harder to look your victim in the eye and hear about how their lives were negatively affected by your actions, than to sit in a courtroom and say nothing as your lawyer speaks on your behalf. The victim reports leaving the forum with a greater understanding of the incident and a huge sense of relief that they have been heard and have been given the opportunity to share the impact the crime has

had on their lives and the lives of their loved ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is wonderful to see the contribution that the Lanark Community Justice Program provides is being acknowledged in this way. The dedication provided by their team of volunteers and professionals to restorative community justice is a true testimony to the value of commit-

ment and hard work. It is a model that other communities would be wise to emulateâ&#x20AC;? said Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington.

These awards recognize victims of crime whose courage and dedication have raised awareness of victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues in Ontario, and organizations, professionals and volunteers that advocate

on their behalf.

Ruth Campbell, chair of the Office for Victims of Crime stated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipients are proof that courage, compassion and dedication can truly make a difference. The Office for Victims of Crime is proud to participate in this awards program to help raise awareness of victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues in Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

Carleton Place has honoured Canadian country icon Stompin’ Tom Connors with a giant mural. The painting looks out over the former Mississippi Hotel, which is where he wrote his hit song, ‘Big Joe Mufferaw’, in 1967. newspaper about the hotel, its history and the people who had been there over the years, including Connors.

“We were losing the fight,” he said, “and out of desperation I sent a letter to Stompin’ Tom’s record company.”

Dillabough didn’t believe there was much hope for a response.

“Tom was just coming out of his reclusive period,” he said, “and he didn’t speak too much publicly about anything

in the first place.”

Then again, a letter appeared soon after in Dillabough’s mailbox. Inside was a note, signed photograph and a statement for publication.

“He referred to the Mississippi as the ‘Grand Ole Lady’ and demanded she be saved,” Dillabough said. “The nation’s media went into a near frenzy and they were all calling me.”

In the end, the hotel was saved.

Mural, mural on the...

Dillabough thinks the mural is awesome. The artwork and caption say it all – simply and beautifully.

“There is no doubt Stompin’ Tom would have been both pleased and proud of it,” he said. “When he drove into town that June day in 1967 he likely never could have imagined that he would become what he became or likely ever envisioned his likeness on a building any-

where let alone in Carleton Place.”

Connors’ songs have become part of the Canadian cultural landscape. Three of his best-known songs include ‘Sudbury Saturday Night’, ‘Bud the Spud’ and ‘The Hockey Song’.

Flynn first met McInnis nearly six years ago when he painted the mural on the side of the town’s building housing Natural Pet Foods.

As mentioned, he has coordinated the town’s downtown building painting work for just over four years. Earlier projects include the old business identity murals at 176 Bridge St. (formerly Patterson Funeral Home), which was completed in 2009, and the Taylor Hardware building (167 Bridge St.), which was finished in 2010. No project was embarked on last year.

Last fall, a mural was completed depicting Roy Brown, the First World War flying ace officially credited with shooting down German pilot Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron) on April 21, 1918, in the skies over wartorn France.

The yearly budget for mural work is $10,000, which is part of the town’s community development committee budget.

McInnis will complete three murals for Carleton Place in 2013.

“Shaun and I spoke this morning (May 13) about the next project,” said Flynn, “but I won’t say anything about it just yet.”

Executive administrative assistant for Carleton Place, Jane Perry’s husband came up with the idea for the mural honouring Connors.

Levi echoed Gillis’ sentiments.

He recounted Caron regularly visiting Levi Home Hardware, picking up things, etc.

“It seemed he had a lot of jobs and work to do,” said the mayor. “However, I never saw a Ron Caron construction account.”

He called Caron’s volunteer work in the community absolutely amazing, and noted there is hardly an association in Almonte that has not called on him to lend assistance.

“We wouldn’t have our town clock if Ron wasn’t here to look after it,” continued Levi. “Ron, thank you from the bottom of my heart. On behalf of council and the community I take this opportunity to thank you for all that you have done. There is no one more deserving (of this) than yourself.”

After the official unveiling of the new auditorium name by the mayor, Nevins invited Caron on stage.

“On behalf of the members, present and past, of the Almonte Old Town Hall Auditorium committee, the community at large and the Town of Mississippi Mills, I present you with a small token of our appreciation for your tireless efforts and contributions,” she said, presenting Caron with a framed picture of AOTH. In addition, Nevins noted a small testimonial would hang permanently on the wall in recognition of Caron’s contribution to the auditorium.

lent,” said former mayor Al Lunney at the time. “However, on the stroke of midnight, Jan. 1, 2000, we were once again treated to the sound of the bell, and the clock has been running ever since.”

“He will tackle any task, and will tap into his contacts to see that every job is done properly, safely, and well,” continued Lunney. Ron never leaves until the whole job is completed. First there, last to leave.”

“Recognition like this can only come from a town with a population of wonderful residents,” concluded Caron on Friday. “Terry and I are truly blessed to be living here.”

Many emotions “Holy smokes!” said Caron. “Wow!

This is not going to be easy.”

Receiving the honour of the auditorium being named after him was the highest point of his life. What’s more, he couldn’t believe volunteering, doing something you love, would bring about this degree of recognition.

“It is most humbling,” said Caron.

He thanked the AOTH committee for putting his name forward and council for approving the recommendation.

“I also need to thank my wife, Terry, for her patience and direction,” said Caron.

Back in the 1980s when he first walked into the auditorium he fell in love with it. And even though he found the acoustics superb, the facility wasn’t being used. He thought it might be possible to revive it by bringing it up to today’s standards.

“Making it better for events, but without ruining its beauty,” said Caron.

He thanked Des Houston and Dorothy Finner for believing it was possible and having the confidence in him.

“It’s not without a great deal of help from many that all this work was accomplished,” said Caron.

When he joined the AOTH committee he had a wish list. It was to equip the beautiful auditorium with suitable and necessary equipment to attract rentals.

“I believe it is versatile enough for many possibilities: art displays, concerts, stage plays, meetings, dances and weddings,” said Caron.

Friday’s affair was not the first time Caron was honoured by the town. Three years ago he was recognized as an extraordinary citizen.

Limited damage after fire at Carleton Place childcare facility says Jacqueline Leach, director of Carleton Place Child Care Services. “The ministry has given their approval for us to shift some children to other rooms in order to accommodate the total number of children in the rooms we have available. We are likely to remain operational for the balance of the week but we are waiting for the insurance company to look at the area before we move forward with any further repairs.”

Patterson Electric has been in to ensure that the alarm system is operational so that the gas can be turned on to get the furnaces on the west side in working order.

“Thanks to an alarm system that functioned as it should, and the quick and skilled response of the Ocean Wave Fire Company, the fire that occurred overnight at the Carleton Place Day Care on Francis St. was quickly contained to a small area of the building,” says Wendy LeBlanc, mayor of Carleton Place. “Day care staff, under the lead of director Jacquie Leach, are to be commended for the professional manner in which they continued to provide service

to the parents and children of our community following the fire.”

“The fire crews this morning did a great job on the fire at our daycare centre. They were on scene in less than 10 minutes and on arrival were faced with heavy black smoke throughout the west wing of the facility. Their quick work in locating the fire and knocking it down prevented it from spreading further and causing more extensive damage,” says fire chief Les Reynolds.

“This fire also highlighted the benefits of having effective fire separations which compartmentalized the threat, coupled with an alarm system which sent the initial alert.

These factors all worked together to prevent what could have easily been a devastating blow to the community.”

Parents can find information updates on the news section of the child care website at www. cpchildcare.ca or on the home page of the municipal website: www.carletonplace.ca.

EMC News – On May 13, the Ocean Wave Fire Company responded to a fire at the Town of Carleton Place Childcare facility at Arklan School.

The blaze appears to have been started by an electrical short in a rechargeable floor polisher that had been charging overnight. No one was in the building at the time of the fire.

Fortunately, fire damage is limited as the floor polisher was stored properly in a small maintenance room with appropriate fire separations and fire doors had been properly closed.

However, smoke did spread through a portion of the building. The building is currently being ventilated and the insurance company has been contacted so repairs can be planned.

Childcare staff are determining how to accommodate the 170 children that attend the childcare centre every day.

“The nursery school program (which runs from 9 a.m. to noon) has been cancelled for the week in order to accommodate a group of allday preschoolers in the nursery school room,”

EMC News – Carol Dryburgh (right), president of the Canadian Cancer Society’s local chapter, presented a $500 cheque on April 3 to the Catholic Women’s League of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Carleton Place. The donation was possible through proceeds from the Carleton Place Lions Club’s annual Curl for Cancer Bonspiel.

WATER RESTRICTIONS The Watering Restrictions By-law 04-14 is designed to regulate and control the usage of water, within the Almonte Ward, in the hot summer months.

Between May 1st and September 30th each year there are limitations on who can water and at what time.

Odd number houses may water on odd calendar days and even numbered houses may water on even numbered days.

Watering may occur between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. each day and from only one connection. Midday is the hottest time of the day and the water is more likely to be wasted through evaporation when watering at this time. Watering from more than one connection simply uses too much water at once.

A significant amount of new grass or sod is exempted from these provisions for one week. Any other violations of the by-law may result in a fine.

Provincial decisions set to impact municipal taxes for 2014 EMC News – Recently, the Town of Carleton Place has learned that the new contract for policing, by the OPP, will require a significant increase in costs primarily caused by: • Adding two additional front line police officers ($264,574); • Updating the costing formula for equipment, such as vehicles, weapons, etc. from 2003 to 2012 ($153,361); • Implementing a provincial wage settlement that will increase po-

All departments are to work to prepare a first draft of the budget that freezes tax dollar spending at the 2013 budget amount. Any increased spending would require an equal reduction in spending in some other area.

All spending will be examined with a view to eliminating any costs possible that do not impact existing programs and deferring non-critical projects.

Fortunately some growth is anticipated that could generate new reve-

nues for the town. By following this fiscal strategy for the 2014 and 2015 budgets, if anticipated growth proceeds, minimal tax increases would likely be required to maintain existing services.

The public is encouraged to provide any suggestions regarding the 2014 budget either now or during budget deliberations during the fall of 2013.

EMC News – On May 11 M&M Meat Shops across Canada supported the 25th Annual Charity BBQ Day in support of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). M&M Meat Shops franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers from coast-to-coast grilled hamburgers and hot dogs to meet the 2013 fundraising goal of $1.3 million. All proceeds go directly to the CCFC to cure Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improve the lives of children and adults affected by these chronic diseases. In Carleton Place, staff volunteers at the local store raised $1,345 for the cause in what owner Jeff Monaghan says was his 16th event.

EDITORIAL

Let’s revel in spring Sens fever EMC Editorial - The signs of spring are popping up all over. Tulips are in bloom, joggers and cyclists are more common sights along the roadways and restaurant patios are once again becoming an afternoon destination.

There’s definitely something else in the air this spring, however. There are a few more little red flags perched on the tops of cars, there are a more red T-shirts and jerseys marked by a distinctive Spartan logo adorning passers-by, and the streets are a little more barren at around 7 p.m. every other evening.

Yes, hockey fever has hit the area a bit harder this spring.

The Ottawa Senators eased past the Montreal Canadiens in five games last week, including a pair of raucous encounters at Scotiabank Place. For those without tickets, fans filled bars, restaurants and living rooms to watch games on television.

The Sens Mile, the nickname given to Elgin Street come playoff time, is once again an exuberant, festive gathering place for both hardcore fans and fairweather faithful alike. Securing passage to the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs will only draw larger crowds. The city once dubbed the worst sports city in Canada is once again showing how off the mark such a comment was.

It is times like these, when a city institution becomes something more than just a local curiosity, that the true value of sports teams becomes apparent. It turns everyone wearing Senators garb, whether along Palladium Drive in Kanata or Bridge Street in Carleton Place, into a friendly face. It gives everyone at school or the office a chance to talk about something that is exciting and current, allowing people to cast aside their everyday worries and fears for a few fleeting weeks.

Editorial Policy The Canadian Gazette EMC welcomes letters to the editor. Senders must include their full name, complete address and a contact phone number. Addresses and phone numbers will not be published. We reserve the right to edit letters for space and content, both in print and online at www.yourottawaregion.com.

But it doesn’t happen every year – the last time the Senators won a playoff round was 2007, when they reached the Stanley Cup final – and it only occurs in the springtime.

Residents of Ottawa and the Valley have only one hometown rooting interest when it comes to professional team sports so far, but that’s about to change. By the end of 2014, there will be a couple more

players on the block in the form of Canadian Football League and North American Soccer League franchises.

It will take a while for fans to warm to their new clubs, but all it will likely take is a good postseason run to capture the sporting imagination.

Let’s enjoy these days: they are part of what adds a splash of colour to the fabric of our communities.

Downtown development proposal counter offer discussed tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Carleton Place councillors are taking time to digest information discussed at the May 7 planning and protection committee meeting in regards to a major downtown development proposal.

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

The DDG has offered to purchase municipal property and undertake significant commercial and residential development in the downtown area, involving re-facing, renovating and demolition and construction.

Coun. Doug Black chaired last Tuesday’s gathering.

Although Thorbjornsson was unable to disclose the absolute identity of the DDG, he was able to reveal the following names: Coun. Louis Antonakos; Cheryl Batten; Richard Chmiel, Jeff Davis; Richard Deschamps; Jeff Jackson; Brent King; Mike Miller; Sean Roy; Angelo Seccaspina; Ralph Shaw; and Max Weinstein.

Antonakos continued to declare a conflict of interest regarding the agenda item. One of the properties under consideration is next to one he owns.

The town’s chief administrative officer (CAO), Paul Knowles opened the discussion, noting at a special meeting May 1 there was a general consensus on many of the proposal’s detailed issues – closing date, deposit, inclusion of adjacent properties, parking requirements and other downtown properties.

“We got through a lot of it last week and settled details, but outstanding issues remain,” said Knowles.

He noted development approval process, development charges and sale price.

Regarding the town’s current development approval process, the developer is required to prepare detailed site and building plans that conform with the development permit bylaw’s (DPB) requirements for site layout, drainage, parking, landscaping and architectural style.

Also with the current system, the final development plans are presented to the public for input and council for approval.

At this stage, the developer has already been working with staff for some time to prepare plans that agree with to the bylaw. Input is difficult to incorporate this late in the process and approval for a project that complies with the town’s bylaw needs to be granted.

“We talked about having a test case,” said Knowles. “A change to the process to give council and the public input early in the procedure.”

Staff is recommending the proposal’s projects on Beckwith and Allan streets be carefully designed to comply with the intent of the DPB and used as a test case to evaluate a new process for development permit applications. The public and council would be consulted for input early in the process.

Following council’s endorsement of the concept plans, the developer would complete detailed plans and, as they will comply with the intent of the DPB, approval of the final plans would follow.

“It’s not a big change, but it’s an important change,” said Knowles.

“I think it is a better process,” said Thorbjornsson. “It protects the developer. He will find out sooner in the process if the project will be accepted or not.”

“I like it because council gets to see it sooner,” said Black.

“This is a test case,” said Knowles.

“Afterwards we can sit back and evaluate and see what kind of changes we should introduce for other projects when we redo the bylaw.”

Beckwith Street is at the concept stage now and Knowles indicated it was time to schedule a pre consultation meeting.

“Because of the test case, we do it at a committee meeting and council and the public gets to see exactly what happens,” said the CAO. “Everyone is aware.”

Pre-consultation gathering The pre-consultation gathering is scheduled for Tuesday, May 21 – the next planning and protection committee meeting.

“We are fine with that as long as we can come to an agreement on the offer,” said Thorbjornsson.

“That’s the next step,” said Knowles.

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.

“Council can create and amend bylaws, but council does not have authority to grant exemption from bylaws,” said Knowles.

When the DCB was passed in February, council agreed to a few exemptions, including schools, hospital, etc. (institutional properties), the downtown core and four strategic properties (McArthur Island, former Findlay Foundry property, DRS property and Wool Growers property).

“Furthermore, for non residential properties, we are going to allow 12 months to pay,” said Knowles. “This gives time for developer to get the building up, get a tenant and get some cash flow going.”

“I am not in favour of giving any exemptions at all,” said deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg. “From my point of view, what we are doing is transferring the cost and monies of future generations instead of our own. And we are using taxpayer dollars (residential) to support a business that plans on making a profit.”

“The taxpayer living in a house on the edge of town does not have an option,” he continued. “He goes to work and pays his taxes. The developer plans on building a building, claiming the cost of development fees in the selling price and getting his money back. If we forgive the exemptions, we are putting that money into the pocket of the developer.”

Coun. Gary Strike concurred with Sonnenburg.

“I don’t think you need to go in this direction,” he continued. “I am with Ed on this.”

Council may choose to amend the DCB to expand the boundary in the downtown area.

“To even look at exemptions bothers me, and it bothers me even more so to expand it so there are more properties involved,” said Sonnenburg. “My position is to start at ground zero and apply all of the development costs and see what the result is.”

“Development charges are a normal fact of doing business in Ontario,” said Knowles. “Developers build them into their price.”

Not remembering, mayor Wendy LeBlanc questioned Sonnenburg on where he stood last fall when council put the development charges exemptions in place in the downtown core.

“I wasn’t overly happy, but I was able to accept downtown core because it is a built-in area, incurs cost and we are

helping the immediate downtown core,” he responded.

“Gary, you served on council when council exempted development fees to industrial buildings,” said Thorbjornsson. “Why do you feel differently now?”

“It encouraged jobs and employment,” said Strike. “It was an exemption, I agree, but I am saying we don’t need to do it know. This development is going to get done eventually, whether you or someone else.”

“I disagree,” said the developer.

“There is nobody else.”

Strike noted the town has a letter of intent.

“A letter of intent is not an offer,” said Thorbjornsson.

“I would suggest the development proposal that we have in front of us would spur all kind of investment in Carleton place,” said Coun. Jerry Flynn.

“It’s all about jobs, all about growth in the downtown. I think it is a small price to pay when you can see what the result can be.”

In regards to sale price, the DDG would purchase Allan St. and Beckwith St. 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. “There is flexibility, but you need to be able to defend (a reduction) to yourselves, your constituents and ultimately if something was challenged, defend it to the courts,” said Knowles.

He spoke about reasons for possibly accepting a reduced price. They are: financial payback to the municipality; marketability of the property; desirability of the particular project (how critical

is it); and what other community goals will you accomplish by accepting the proposal.

After speaking with the town’s treasurer, Phil Hogan, Knowles suggested council consider a counter price of $80,000. “That’s $160,000 for both properties,” said Black.

On Tuesday night, May 14 (after Canadian Gazette went to press), council and staff continued to discuss the potential counter offer with the developer. See next week’s edition for more details.

The last week of April tells of several migrants that have returned to breeding territories in Lanark County. In Pakenham, Ray Holland observed Savannah Sparrow and Pine Warbler. In Pakenham ward near White Lake, Earl Campbell has Northern Cardinals nesting on his farm, and Sandhill Cranes visiting.

Moving down to Mississippi Mills, Mary and Howard Robinson have Brown Thrasher and Eastern Towhee setting up nest areas.

The previous week, they had heard two Hermit Thrushes the evening of April 23. Mary also saw a Purple Finch, a first of the season, at one of their feed-

Susan Fisher of Beckwith Township, has Eastern Bluebirds nesting, Eastern Phoebes and cardinals by her home.

Susan saw/heard an American Woodcock along Blue Heron Road as well.

A bird walk held April 24 by some members of Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists produced 36 species. They enjoyed sighting or hearing Chipping, Field, and Whitethroated Sparrows, plus Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and Double-crested Cormorants on Clayton Lake. Enjoy your May birding.

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plants, with their many thin, multi-branched stems can provide nesting material for birds.

By pulling out the stems, and cutting them into 14 to 20 centimetres, you can scatter them around the yard for the birds.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another useful item we have that can add calcium to female birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diets: eggshells. Egg laying drains females of calcium, which they need to produce healthy eggshells themselves. Rinse shells, then bake lightly on a cookie sheet at 250 degrees Fahrenheit, until dry, but not brown. This sterilizes them and makes them brittle. Crumble them into bite-sized bits and spread them on a patch of bare ground, a rock, a platform feeder, or your deck railing.

Bluebirds, Orioles, Eastern Kingbirds, Brown Thrashers, Song Sparrows and American Goldfinches, plus others will be happy to use them.

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) is making Mississippi Mills a cleaner place to live and visit.

For a third consecutive year, the MCSC is a participant in Lanark County’s Adopt-A-Road program.

Last Thursday morning, May 10, a handful of residents from the organization’s Home Support Program were busy cleaning up roadside trash.

The initiative, in existence since 1999, sees community groups, clubs and organizations volunteer their labour to pick up litter along a section of road of their choosing.

The MCSC has a 2.2-kilometre section of roadway that runs from the roundabout on Ottawa Street down Appleton Side Road.

“The amount of trash they find along the roadway and in ditches is astounding,” according to Jan Watson, coordinator of Home Support Services at the MCSC. The organization, whose members always wear gloves, has found a large variety of items – ranging from fast food wrappers, drink cans and cups, diapers, plastic bottles, vehicle tires and more.

Safety is a top priority, and the county supplies participants with the necessary safety equipment (bright coloured vests and ‘Men at Work’ signs), noted Watson.

At the conclusion of the pickup day, county staff retrieves the bags of collected litter for disposal.

After its first year of participation, the organization received a couple of signs marking its stretch of road and recognizing its commitment to the community and environment.

Participation in the Adopt-A-Road program helps Home Support Program residents become active in the community.

Taking part in cleanup operations were: David Kevin, Lorie Ann Casselman Annie Gray, Gillan McInnis and Cole Gurney, along with staff, (Jan) Watson, Tiffany Fader, Richard Fitzpatrick, Sarah Johnston and April Georgeadis.

Enjoy the outdoors and get fit with Nordic Pole Walking

By Mary Davies Want to firm up that little pot-belly? Tone your physique and improve your health? Nordic Pole Walking (NPW) allows you to do both while enjoying the outdoors.

NPW evolved from cross-country skiing in the 1930s, when Nordic biathletes developed the technique to maintain training levels during the off-season.

Canadians are now adopting it for its health benefits.

Scientific and clinical studies show that NPW increases oxygen consumption by 20 per cent and caloric expenditure by up to 45 per cent— without increasing perceived exertion. In other words, you can increase your heart rate without feeling that it’s hard work.

NPW helps improve balance and posture, while decreasing impact on the hips, knees and feet. It increases the production of positive hormones, providing a sense of wellbeing and improved quality of life.

These effects make NPW ideal if you want to be more active, lose weight, or have chronic conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood

pressure, chronic obstructive lung disease, depression, early Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, or are recovering from some surgeries.

Adjustable-height telescopic walking poles are available at Canadian Tire, Bushtukah, Trailhead and Mountain Equipment Co-op from $25 to $125 a pair.

The ideal pole length is your height minus 50 centimetres, or adjust the polegrip to hand height with your elbow at 90 degrees and the forearm parallel to the ground.

The pole shafts are carbon/composite material with ergonomic or cylindrical handles and spike tips for grass, trails, or gravel. These can be covered with

rubber boot-tips for pavement.

When beginning any new physical activity, consult your doctor first, and start slowly with short walks.

Begin walking and swing your arms, reaching forward in a long handshake position. Leaning slightly ahead, push from the shoulders with straight elbows, using the poles to propel you forwards. Keep the poles angled backwards with the boot tips behind you—this is full Nordic walking.

In modified Nordic walking, the elbows are bent, the posture is more upright, and the pole tips are placed more forward.

Include warm-up and cool-down periods, followed by stretches. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your walks. Walking with poles uses 90 per cent of all body muscles, toning your core, calves, neck, shoulder and triceps muscles. It is significantly more effective than regular walking, and can be enjoyed outdoors or indoors.

Youth performances highlighted at Young Awards Gala tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The fifth annual Young Awards Gala will be a night to celebrate youth arts programming in Mississippi Mills.

The gala will take place on Saturday, May 25 at 6 p.m. at the agricultural hall at the Almonte Fairgrounds. Tickets are now on sale for only $75.

Julie Argue, chair of the gala committee, said ticket sales are going well and hopes the community comes out to support the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to encourage the parents whose children are benefitting from these programs to come have a good time and support our efforts to keep arts programs alive in Mississippi Mills,â&#x20AC;? said Argue.

The awards evening began as the Noreen Young Bursary and Awards dinner, an organization that ran for 13 years and raised more than $100,000 for youth in Mississippi Mills.

The Young Awards Gala is now in its fifth year

be spinning some tunes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kid is amazing with the turn tables and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a teenager,â&#x20AC;? said Argue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is putting together his own mix for our crowd.â&#x20AC;?

This year, volunteers Sheila Furlong and Cynthia Verboven are spearheading the 15 minute â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Inspiration Pieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which is a theatrical presentation that sets the mood for each gala. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will incorporate lots of live music, fashion, textiles, history and visual arts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good representation of what the arts mean to different members of the community,â&#x20AC;? said Argue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are happy to be including Canadian folk singer Phil Jenkins as well.â&#x20AC;?

There will also be a number of special adult performances throughout the night.

Tickets are available at Foodies Fine Food (34 Mill St. in Almonte) and Mill Street Books (52 Mill St. in Almonte) or by contacting Peter Mansfield at pmansfield@bellnet.ca.

and they continue to raise money for local youths and now put those funds directly into schools.

Argue promises there will be quite a few youth performances during the evening, including Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Impact Drumming group lead by Bill Searson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going to schools and teaching different drumming programs,â&#x20AC;? said Argue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to a junkyard symphony. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been around for many years and we always like to give new kids a chance to perform.â&#x20AC;?

Rick Denis and the YA Band, which is a combination of local adult musicians and high school students, have been practicing since September and will hit the stage as well during dessert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be playing everything from classic rock to a spin on some modern songs,â&#x20AC;? said Argue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very happy and somewhat dancey!â&#x20AC;?

Carleton Place businesses honoured by Welcome Wagon for 20-year involvement

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Business – Two Carleton Place businesses, MacPherson’s Auto Service and Carleton Place Nursery, have each received a 20-year plaque to recognize their longtime involvement with Welcome Wagon (WW).

Sharon Shea and Patricia Brauer, local WW representatives, honoured Ross and Laurie MacPherson and Dave and Heather Flatters last Thursday morning, May 10.

The largest greeting service in Canada, WW celebrates 83 years in 2013.

The MacPhersons are thrilled to have their gifts – windshield scraper and brake inspection – included in the “most famous basket in the world.”

Shea presented Ross and Laurie with a plaque, congratulatory letter and cheese and cracker tray last week.

“It is my pleasure to acknowledge and honour your business today, and your continued support in Welcome Wagon as you celebrate 20 years as a sponsor,” she said. “I look forward to many more years working together.”

“Thank you very much!” said Ross.

He called WW a great service in the community, making new residents feel welcome.

MacPherson’s Auto Service has been in business for 60 years. Ross is second generation, taking over from his dad, Marvin in 1984.

Located on Bell St., the garage employs a staff of nine, including Ross and Laurie’s sons: Spencer and Todd (temporarily). Son Caleb is off to Fort Myers Master’s Commission in Florida.

Carleton Place Nursery has been in business for 25 years.

“The generosity of your spray bottle and gift certificate has always been received with appreciation at my visits,” said Shea. “Your beautiful garden centre has always been my pleasure to promote.”

She added the Flatters’ community involvement, from the towns’ flower baskets to the Canadian Cancer Society’s (CCS) Garden of Hope, showcases perfectly how their business fits with the WW’s greeting concept.

In 2012 Dave and Heather donated approximately 2,000 daffodil bulbs to Carleton Place in Bloom. The bulbs make up the municipality’s second Garden of Hope, located at the corner of Coleman and Queen streets. The first Garden of Hope was created last September in Riverside Park – by way of another donation from the local garden centre (4,000 daffodil bulbs).

The Flatters were thrilled with the recognition from the WW. “It’s not our style to blow our own horn,” said Dave.

“That’s my job,” quipped Shea.

The nursery, located on County Road 29, has 17 employees, including the Flatters’ daughter, Lindsay. Son Ryan worked for his parents from Grade 8 to his fifth year of university.

WW provides personalized promotion and public relations for participating local businesses to families that have moved to a new home or are celebrating a new baby or an upcoming wedding.

The service operates in Canada from coast to coast, in every province and territory.

Shea has been with WW for 23 years and Brauer for 12 years.

For more information about the service, contact Shea at cpwelcomewagon@rogers.com or 613-257-4647.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

McDANIEL, Terry - In loving memory of “Turk” who passed away May 17, 2011.

Two years ago God wrapped His arms around you and whispered “Come with Me” Going forward in life without you has not been as easy as people might think it to be.

Though you were unique, like no one that has ever been before or will come after.

No one can speak your voice, say your piece, smile your smile or shine your light.

No one can take your place in my life.

For it was yours and yours alone to fill.

Loving and missing you every day Betty

CONBOY, Donald A. – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away May 21, 1988.

Never more than a thought away Quiety remembered every day.

No need for words except to say, still loved, still missed in every way.

Lovingly remembered, Dencie and family

McCORMACK, Nancy – In loving memory of a dear daughter, sister, aunt and great aunt who passed away May 15, 2011.

Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear; Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach.

Sweet to remember her who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear.

Lovingly remembered Mom and family

SMITH, Jeffrey June 13, 1976–May 18, 2008 Remembrance Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break, but all in vain.

To have, to love, and then to part Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

The years may wipe out many things But some they wipe out never.

Like memories of those happy times When we were all together.

BOND – In loving memory of Frederick Nicholas.

Passed away May 13, 2011.

God saw you getting tired.

When a cure was not to be.

So He closed His arms around you And whispered “Come to Me”.

You suffered so much in silence.

Your spirit did not bend.

You faced your pain with courage.

Until the very end.

You tried so hard to stay with us.

So God took you to His loving home.

And freed you from all your pain.

LOCAL NEWS

Tickets for May 25 Wine’d Around Downtown available price of $2 each.

“We ask everyone involved to wear their Tshirt and join the crowd. This is an enjoyable social event,” Maguire says.

“But you have to purchase a T-shirt in order to take part. Staff at the participating venues will only serve those who are in possession of one of our distinctive shirts which entitles you to wine and food samples at low cost.”

He notes that in the past some people have participated without actually buying tickets which is not permitted. “By purchasing a ticket you are assisting local students. That is what this is all about.”

This year Waterfall Catering will be at Moore House, an historic downtown home located at 170 Bridge St., opposite the town hall.

It is also the site of the town’s new aviation museum featuring the story of local native Captain A. Roy Brown, the First World War ace who shot down famed German pilot Baron Manfred von Richthofen in 1918.

The other participating venues are Guido’s Pub, 7 Bridge St.; the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20 Bridge St.; St. James Gate Pub and Restaurant, 111 Bridge St.; Texas Worthy Restaurant (located in the former Queen’s Hotel), 142 Bridge St.; Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub, 151 Bridge St.; the Bridge Street Café and Bistro, 155 Bridge St.; Dionysos Restaurant, 156 Bridge St. and Slackoni’s Restaurant (Fine Italian Cuisine), 35 Mill St. Tickets are $25 each and they are available at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre (former Carleton Place Train Station), 132 Coleman St.; the Carleton Place Town Hall information desk (use the entrance on Mill St. closest to Bridge St.). In addition tickets are for sale at six of the nine venues including Guido’s, the Thirsty Moose, Texas Worthy, Ballygiblin’s, the Bridge Street Café and Bistro and Slackoni’s.

Heritage Ball draw “Don’t forget to have your passport signed at each location you visit,” the chairman stresses. “You can then enter the draw for a pair of tickets (a $300 value) to the Sister City com-

mittee’s black tie Heritage Ball in September.”

This year’s ball is scheduled for Saturday, Sept.

28 in the historic town hall auditorium. Tickets go on sale July 1. The theme is ‘An Evening in Paris.’

This year the Carleton Place committee is linking with the twinning committee in Comrie, Scotland to run the second student exchange involving the communities. Four Carleton Place students and their adult chaperone will visit Scotland in August. The delegation from Comrie journeys here in October.

“The only disappointment this year is that our exchange with Franklin, Tennessee has been put on hold. The Franklin committee has experienced difficulties recruiting students in recent times. They have asked for a year to re-organize. We will be working with them to make the exchange happen again in 2014,” Maguire outlines. The program with Franklin began in 2006 and had run for seven consecutive years.

The chairman says the Comrie exchange will take place every second year due to the additional cost of traveling overseas.

“We are very pleased to have the program with Comrie in place this year. We look forward to the visit by the students from Scotland beginning Thanksgiving weekend. They will be with us for 10 days,” Maguire explains.

Last Aug. 1 Carleton Place and Comrie marked the 20th anniversary of the twinning arrangement which has a basis in history. Many of the original settlers in this part of Lanark County came here from the Perthshire region of Scotland, which includes the picturesque village of Comrie, early in the 19th Century.

Formal observances were held in both centres last year to mark the 20-year-old linkage.

For more information about Wine’d Around Downtown or the student exchange program contact Maguire by email at jeffrey.maguire@ rogers.com or Manda Blakeley, the town’s economic promotions coordinator, at 613-2573822 or by email at mblakeley@carleton place. ca.

EMC Events – Early ticket sales are brisk, an indication that one of the most popular annual events in Carleton Place is headed for another sellout this spring.

On Saturday afternoon May 25 ‘Wine’d Around Downtown’ returns for a sixth consecutive year. Organized by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, the wine and food sampling extravaganza is a fundraiser for the annual Sister Cities Student Exchange program.

Carleton Place is twinned with the village of Comrie, Scotland and the city of Franklin, Tennessee a growing suburb of the world’s country music capital, Nashville.

The colour purple will dominate on downtown Bridge Street this time around. That is the colour of the event T-shirts which double as tickets for the participants. Last year 350 people took part in Wine’d Around Downtown which showcases the many excellent restaurants and pubs in downtown Carleton Place. The venture begins at noon and runs until 5 p.m.

As the play on words in the name suggests, participants in Wine’d Around Downtown are encouraged to “wind” their way from one venue to another in the downtown area.

The idea of the event is not to over imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers in one or more of the locations taking part in the afternoon event. A number of wineries will have representatives at the participating venues. They will offer information about the various wines available that day.

The venture has been enhanced this year with new venues added. As mentioned, all proceeds from Wine’d Around Downtown go to the student exchange program operated by the host committee.

“The event package is now available at numerous locations,” says committee chair Jeff Maguire.

The package includes a T-shirt, an event passport filled with related information along with a coupon for a free appetizer at one of the participating restaurants and pubs. Anyone wearing a Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt will be entitled to purchase additional wine samples and appetizers for the low

EMC Events – The annual Burn Your Bra for Bev fundraiser took over the Pakenham Community Centre May 10. This year, proceeds raised will benefit Do It For Daron and the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County. It was a sea of purple as ladies were encouraged to dress in the colour to honour the Alzheimer Society.

Changes in waste and recycling to take effect June 1 in Carleton Place EMC News – On June 1, the Town of Carleton Place will no longer be providing residents and businesses with an annual allotment of garbage stickers but instead will allow one unstickered bag of garbage each week.

Additional bags must have a sticker attached. Existing stickers will be honoured until 2020 and can still be purchased at the same locations as in the past.

Large household items can still be placed at the curb but must have four stickers now instead of two. Appliances must also have four stickers for collection but will not be picked up unless they have been properly decommissioned and tagged by a certified technician indicating that the refrigerant gas has been properly removed.

“The change to one un-stickered bag per week is more convenient to Carleton Place residents, many of

whom will never need to buy garbage stickers again,” says Wayne Fraser, public works development coordinator. “It also significantly reduces the municipal cost of administering the garbage sticker system. In addition to one un-stickered bag a week, an extra two un-stickered bags will be allowed during the week between Christmas and New Years.”

Recycling collection is seeing some significant change as well. Recycling is now mandatory in Carleton Place in an effort to reduce municipal waste being sent to landfills thereby increasing the municipal waste diversion rate. This results in the town receiving more annual funding from Waste Diversion Ontario and its Continuous Improvement Fund. It also reduces the dependency on landfill sites which can impact the environment negatively and which are extremely difficult and expensive to establish. One way that this will now be easier is that residents and businesses

will be able to place plastics #1-7 in the blue bin for collection.

“As mayor of the Town of Carleton Place, I am pleased and proud of our efforts to work towards making ours a greener community. Not only is the new recycling program a response to requests from our residents to include more items in the blue boxes, but it will also reduce the amount of municipal waste sent to landfill sites,” says mayor Wendy LeBlanc. “Working with four other Lanark County municipalities, Carleton Place took the lead in moving to the new program and in spearheading multi-municipality joint tendering for both recycling and garbage collection contracts. From an environmental point of view, this is a welcome change, and from an economic standpoint, the new joint contracts result in considerable savings to each of the municipalities. I urge all citizens to participate fully in making Carleton Place an environmentally-aware and environTHE EMC - A/CP16 - Thursday, May 16, 2013

In addition to the changes to recycling and solid waste collection, the town will also be changing contractors for these services. As of June 1, Matrec

will be collecting both recycling and solid waste. Residents will notice two trucks collecting in tandem, one for recyclables, one for solid waste.

Under the current contract recycling is being sorted at the curb. Under the new contract, materials will be sorted at Matrec’s recycling facility. Therefore, it is essential that waste be at the curb no later than 7 a.m on the day of collection.

“Matrec as a Transforce Company is looking forward to be your collector and processor of recyclables materials,” says Brian King, president of Lafleche Environmental Inc. “We are excited and proud to be able to a team partner with the great Town of Carleton Place in their continuing support and commitment to waste diversion.”

For more information on waste collection in Carleton Place see the town’s website at www.carletonplace. ca.

EMC Entertainment – The Town Singers choir of Carleton Place is putting the final touches on their upcoming spring concert entitled ‘Everybody’s Jazz’ to be presented at two concerts (June 9 and 11 at 7 p.m.) at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Bridge St. The group of over 70 singers has been working on the challenging four part repertoire since the beginning of their spring session in February.

Musical director Kristine MacLaren says, “Many people come with a pretty strong opinion of jazz music. There is that preconceived notion that all jazz is contemporary and has strange harmonies that strain the ear. This session was somewhat of a hard sell to some of the regular choir members as many were not sure if they were up for the repertoire but once they heard some of the songs...they were hooked!”

In an effort to hook the audience as well as the singers, MacLaren has put together a concert song list that will delight even the most skeptical of concert goers. Jazz standards such as ‘L-O-V-E’ and ‘Autumn Leaves’ made popular by the sultry-voiced Nat King Cole as well as ‘Stardust’ and ‘Take the A-Train’ will easily bring listeners back to the time of Big Band and swing music.

The choir will also present more contemporary arrangements of well-known songs such as ‘Begin the Beguine’ and ‘Georgia on my Mind’.

“I truly believe this concert will wow the audience. I continue to be impressed by the depth of the talent and the range

R. Tait McKenzie student, mom cut hair for Angel Hair for Kids EMC News – R. Tait McKenzie Grade 1 student Griffyn Woodley, and his mom Susan, recently cut off their long hair and donated it to Angel Hair for Kids, an organization that makes wigs for children who lose their hair to cancer and other diseases.

Griffyn and Susan’s lengthy locks were cut at an event organized by HairDonationOttawa.ca on April 21, where several volunteer stylists from across the city came to offer their services. The Woodleys raised $2,000 for the event, and donated a combined total of 25 inches of hair.

“We really wanted to help people, and we thought it would be really kind,” said Griffyn. “Also, I kind of like having short hair.”

Griffyn had been growing his hair for two years prior to cutting it for the sole purpose of harvesting it for Angel Hair for Kids. Susan wasn’t initially planning on cutting her hair, but one day she mentioned it to Griffyn and he said he wanted her to do it with him.

“I mentioned it as a halfjoke,” she laughed. “But, in hindsight, it wouldn’t have been right for me to go to the hair donation event with him – with my long hair – and not do it with him.”

Although this is the first fundraising event Griffyn has participated in, he is already thinking about future events.

“He feels proud of himself,” said Susan. “And I am certainly proud of the both us!”

Heritage Community Fitness Goes the Step Above in Making a Difference at the Carleton Place Hospital!

The Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital (CDPMH) Foundation is overjoyed to announce that Heritage Community Fitness & Rehabilitation Centre has generously donated $5,600 towards the purchase of greatly needed equipment at the Hospital. Each year, in celebration of their anniversary, Heritage Community Fitness hosts the annual GET ACTIVE Community Fitness Challenge and generously makes a donation towards their community Hospital. This year they went a step above by increasing the amount of their donation in response to a call of need for a replacement tympanometer which broke down earlier this month.

Required by the ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist at the Hospital, the tympanometer is an important tool that is used to aid in diagnosing the cause of hearing loss in people of all ages. “When the equipment failed earlier this month, we had to act fast in ordering a replacement as soon as possible as many patients rely on its diagnosis each month,” stated Jennifer Lindsay, Nurse Manager of Outpatient Services. “We were so pleased to have learned that Heritage Community Fitness had answered our call of need and that we can now act swiftly in providing the replacement for our patients.”

Once hearing of the urgent need for the equipment replacement Kevin Price, Owner of Heritage Community Fitness, was immediately supportive of the change in designation for the donation.

“We are happy to do our part in giving back to the community that has been so supportive of us,” stated Mr. Price. The original donation was to support needed equipment in the Ambulatory Care Department. The tympanometer is used in this same department, but its equipment failure was unpredicted and was thus not on the

& Chief Financial Officer for CPDMH. “In cases like these, we have to be flexible and find support to purchase these critical pieces for our core programs.” Heritage Community Fitness “has gone above and beyond and we are so very grateful for their continued support to our Foundation and the Hospital,” stated Edith Addyman, President of the CPMDH Foundation.

Heritage Community Fitness opened on April 1, 2007 and at that time, the facility named the Hospital as its charity of choice. Since its opening, the Centre has expanded twice and has donated over $32,000 to help with the Hospital’s equipment needs. Heritage Fitness has also hosted and contributed to numerous community fitness-minded events on the Foundation’s behalf to raise funds to buy needed equipment for the Hospital.

Staff of Heritage Community Fitness recently presented a cheque for $5,000 to the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation. The funds will support the purchase of a needed tympanometer for the Ambulatory Care Department. Presenting the cheque are (L-R): Personal Trainer, Lindsay Taillefer; Athletic Therapist, Valerie Beaulieu; General Manager, Redeana Villeneuve; Registered Massage Therapist, Andrew Chapman; Support Staff, Doreen French; and Director of Fitness and Personal Training, Jen Hicks.

original list of equipment projected to be required this year.

“We do our best to anticipate a year in advance for what the most pressing needs of equipment will be, but sometimes equipment that is not on our list fails and is unable to be repaired,” stated Darlene Mitchell, Assistant Executive Director of Support Services

For more information on the equipment required at CPDMH or how you can help, please contact Robyn Arseneau, Manager of Fundraising at 613-257-2200 ext. 856 or email foundation@carletonplacehosp.ca.

For information on Heritage Community Fitness and to learn more about their community events and programs, contact Redeana Villeneuve, General Manager at 613-253-2112 or visit www.HeritageFitness.ca.

This is not just any walk in the park – it’s a fun day for the family and four-legged friends.

EMC Events – Don’t miss this year’s Walk Your Paws for LAWS! Top prizes, raffle, a barbecue and more!

The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) holds its second annual walk on Sunday, June 9. The fundraiser for the shelter takes place at the Carleton Place arena, 75 Neelin St., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The rain or shine event offers two-kilometre (km) and five km walks.

“The two-kilometre walk is good for families and older dogs,” said Liz Taylor, marketing and fundraising chair of the LAWS board.

Last year’s event, which took place Sept. 23, raised an outstanding $13,000. All funds go directly to supporting the animals.

“For this year’s walk we decided on June – hoping to catch everyone before the summer holiday season begins,” said Taylor.

She would love to see area schools, veterinarian clinics and other businesses and organizations challenging each other.

Walk festivities include water and refreshments available along the route for two-legged and fourlegged participants, prizes for top fundraisers, raffle, and the Carleton Place Lions Club will be running a barbecue.

Registration fees are $20 for individuals or $40 for a family or team.

“If participants can raise double the registration fee in pledges, we will waive the fee,” said Taylor.

Those interested can register at the event or online at www.lanarkanimals.ca/walkathon/walkathon. html.

Bring completed pledge forms

The inaugural Walk Your PAWS for LAWS event took place last Sept.

23. Above, participants in last year’s event gather prior to embarking on the walk. The 2013 walk is Sunday, June 9 at the Carleton Place arena on Neelin St. Left, these little pugs were just two of the four-legged friends who participated in the event.

About LAWS LAWS has been caring for abused, abandoned and lost animals for more than 35 years. It is one of two no kill shelters in all of Ontario.

Located in Smiths Falls at 253 Glenview Rd., LAWS sees operating expenses of $75,000-$80,000 monthly, and approximately $40,000 is spent on veterinary care.

Last year, due to a period of unprecedented animal intake, decreased donations and a lull in adoptions, the shelter was in danger of closing.

“The shelter is in a better position now,” said Taylor.

“People stepped up, there was an influx of donations. However, assistance is always needed,” she added.

Spring and summer is always very busy at the shelter with an increase of cats and kittens and dogs in its care.

‘Music is life’ is a phrase many should live by Musical Musings STEVE TENNANT

neighbour buddy father’s garage where he always had the CHUM station on the radio and so I got to hear early rock and roll. I’d spend time there with no interest in the race cars being repaired or built but just enjoying this different style of music I wasn’t hearing at home.

I remember finally getting my own radio for Christmas and being able to then listen to my own AM stations. CHUM and later CHUM-FM and CFNY becoming my FM stations of choice when that became available. I’d go to sleep listening.

In high school I took music and started on the flute and with my early thumb-sucking overbite had the natural ombrosure to have been a decent player but at the time it wasn’t “masculine” enough to play a flute for this shy lad. So for my second time loving grade 9, I switched to euphonium (a smaller version of the tuba) until my capped tooth kept coming loose, getting stuck in the mouthpiece and it took too long to pound it out with a pencil so I again switched, this time to percussion.

I played snare, bass drum, cymbals, triangle but not a drum set unfortunately.

I could read music and count, which as a percussion player is critical when you have 132 bar rests.

I still get tickled when I hear one of our pieces, Beethoven’s Egmont Overture.

I loved being in the throngs of that large musical sound our school concert band created.

We did band exchanges to Penetanguishene and London where we were always well received.

I picked up bongos and played in a couple of musical groups (Luke’s Folk and Syzygy) who played folk rock church services throughout Ontario.

Through this and school band I met people my age, (especially lovely gals) all over and loved jamming for hours with some wonderful guitar playing friends.

In grade 9, music students were offered a student series with the Toronto Symphony and my friends who had a ticket would let me go with them.

Two with passes would go into Massey Hall, one would come out with the two passes and two more would go in.

We got many friends in

that way and as a result heard the Toronto Symphony when conductor, Seiji Ozawa started his memorable tenure with them.

I still can feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing while hearing the late Canadian contralto Maureen Forrester sing at one of those concerts. Though opera and orchestral music have never been favourites, I know my wide variety of musical genre appreciation has been positively affected by these exposures.

My younger brother Drew turned me on to lots of music, especially Little Feat and blues.

I loved the Rolling Stones far more than the Beatles because of my blues love though I did enjoy George Harrison’s material when they broke up. As soon as I could get (or sneak) into concerts in the mid 60s and early 70s I did. I spent a lot of time on the “Red Rocket” – Toronto’s transit system, getting downtown and back – a bus, streetcar and subway ride each way at minimum. But what a great time to be able to see so many of the late greats in bars along Yonge St. or in Yorkville, the “hippie mecca” offering folk primarily. It was how I spent my weekends and many evenings.

The drinking age dropping from 21 to 18 when I was 18 sure helped also as suddenly I could get into music bars legally.

I’d just sit and be mesmerized by what they all had to offer. I remember going to the Victory Burlesque to hear the ‘bumps and grinds’ of the live band playing for the peelers...(OK, I peeked).

What has been labelled the “Toronto Sound” became a favourite of mine, featuring R&B with the full sound of B3 organ, bass, guitar(s), drums, sometimes horns, and often backing vocals. Grant Smith & the Power, George Olliver & The Stone Children, Crowbar, Shawne & Jay Jackson and the Majestics, Ronnie Hawkins, Eugene Smith & the Imperials to name a few.

I’d go to George’s Spaghetti House to hear Moe Koffman who led the house band with many other local jazz icons, and to the Sapphire Lounge to hear newpaper columnist, drummer, the late Paul Rimstead with sax great Jim Galloway and Ed Bickert on guitar. Le Coq D’or and the Colonial Tavern were favourites. In the 60s and 70s inexpensive live

music was everywhere.

I loved the late Doug Riley’s band Dr. Music and would travel around to hear them wherever I could. I did a lot of this on my own, but when others joined me I would always take delight when watching a friend become enamoured and captivated by what they were experiencing.

It’s that same delight I feel today when I watch someone experience a house concert’s intimacy with the musicians for the first time. Growing up, (assuming I now have) I was never a skirt-chaser. Rather, I hunted down live music wherever I could. I just happened to meet great people through it. I got to know musicians and understand their lives.

I’d visit relatives as a kid up in Wiarton and my cousin’s would take me to see Gordie Tapp (who had a cottage in the area) and Tommy Hunter shows at the arena. It was my cousins who exposed me to country music and, as a ballad lover, I enjoyed many crossover hits of the era. (It was Keith Glass that got me listening to country music when we met in Perth and I have developed a whole new listening genre with some incredible players, thanks to him).

In high school, our music teacher was away ill for a couple of months and the replacement was a young man who, at 29, had his Masters in Music & Theory from a Texas university. We became friends and he finished filling in at our school to become the musical director and sing the Jesus part in the Toronto version of Jesus Christ Superstar which performed once only at Varsity Stadium, which I attended. I skipped a lot of high school and attended the practices and met the who’s who of the Toronto music scene at the time.

The late Bob McBride of Lighthouse I especially remember. My brother went on to work with Charity Brown, Dominic Troiano, Bruce Cockburn, Murray McLauchlan so I was able to become acquainted with the background scene and musicians as just “people” rather than “icons”.

When any of us go out to be entertained we want to be transported somewhere else... “take my mind elsewhere,” away from our daily toils.

However the entertainment does it, through film, music, dance, theatre, it’s most successful when we are taken to a “different place”. I survived 40 years of social work by being able to get away through live music, hearing stories about why songs were written, the storyline of the song...it “takes me away” for awhile.

It’s what has kept me going

and I’m blessed to now be in an area where live music is abundant, with great local players and local events without having to always travel to big cities to find my live music “fix”.

Whatever the reason, for me “Music is Life, the rest is just details” and I’m happy just to be listenin’... wherever it is.

Support live music everywhere.

R0012095467_0516

EMC Lifestyle – I often wear a t-shirt that says “Life is Music.

The rest is just details.”

Though I’m not a musician, this phrase seems to best describe my life and has for as long as I can remember. In a recent eulogy for a fellow music lover, I quoted this phrase and later gave pause to reflect back on my own life and come up with some rationale as to possibly why music has always been so important for me.

We are all a product of our experiences so here’s what I’ve come up with so far...

From my earliest memories, I was raised in west end Toronto in a home where there was almost always music on, often just the radio (CFRB – no country music) but later LPs of show tunes like ‘Mary Poppins’ or ‘Sound of Music’ were often on.

We were raised in the United Church and I was in the junior choir from an early age.

I had a few solos early on and, though I can’t remember the songs, I do remember the pride I had at being able to be recognized for my musical offerings. I loved singing hymns and listening to the choirs.

My mother stills laughs when she tells the story of finding me in the back yard, standing on top of our wooden garbage can box at age three or four, singing hymns from memory with very contorted wordings for the rest of the garden to enjoy. I remember visiting relatives and going to their rural churches and recognizing the quality of our home church’s choir, after hearing theirs.

My dad went to a couple of men’s conferences through the church and would bring back powerful recordings of these, often in the hundred’s of men, all singing in unison, spirituals or stirring hymns. I loved to listen.

We had a piano and my dad could play ‘by ear’ and did often.

He had a few favourites he’d figured out and would regularly go through his repertoire.

I took lessons for a few years but can honestly say, I didn’t ever really enjoy it enough to work at it. I too developed a repertoire of about seven songs I could sit down at a party or pub and play but in honesty, I’d rather listen.

One year, in early public school I pretended I played the recorder in our school band by not blowing but just moving my fingers.

I have always prided myself in my honesty and though I didn’t ever like to practice, I did love sitting in the middle of all that sound of the others playing music around me, so that was the pay off for my deception. I loved to listen.

I remember loving to visit my

LAWS says thanks to Pet Valu, Natural Pet Foods for being adoption satellite sites

By LORI CLARKSON

EMC Lifestyle – The end of April marks one year since LAWS cats started to be adopted out at the Pet Valu locations in Almonte, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Perth, and Smiths Falls. When Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place joined into the project, LAWS gained six adoption satellite sites that have helped to find forever homes for well over 100 cats in the past year. A huge thank you goes out to all the stores who are mately nine-month-old female cat helping with this essential service. who was a stray, but is so very affectionate and playful that she was given this odd name. Sweetpea loves to play with a ball and feathers and purrs out loud when you give her a belly rub. She’s ready to go to a forever home, as sitting in a small cage is not her favourite thing.

No real advantage between manual shifts and automatics EMC Lifestyle – “Brian, my wife and I are firm believers in manual shifts v. automatics. We feel there is better road awareness due to having to up shift for moving off and downshift for slowing, plus moving of the right hand and clutch keep us more alert than (maybe preoccupied) automatic drivers. Are there any statistics on relative accident rates with manuals vs. automatics for similar vehicles? Intuitively, we believe that a manual should have a substantial advantage due to the ‘road feel’ and increased attention required. Just curious!

If there is a known accident rate advantage for manuals, do you know of any insurance companies which give a discount?”

Peter Thanks for the question. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MOT) stats on collisions don’t break down to vehicle equipment level and if you check their latest report (log onto www.mto.gov.on.ca and enter ORSAR in the search window) you’ll find the overwhelming majority of collisions were labeled as being caused by ‘no apparent defect’ which means in my humble opinion, driver error.

I assume if transmission type did mark a substantive trend, it would be included that in the report. While I too prefer manual transmissions, when it comes to

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

vehicle safety, we are basically victims of the lowest common denominator and that speaks to a significant percentage of drivers who couldn’t handle manual transmissions or wouldn’t be bothered to learn more about them, (so they and subsequently we, are safer if those drivers are using automatics).

In a panic stop or swerve with a manual transmission, many drivers may forget to use their shifter unless they’ve taken a proper driving course (which should be mandatory and regular), and therefore would either clutch-in and brake (thereby getting no advantage from engine braking) or simply brake without clutching-in and let the engine stall. In the case of the latter, a manual transmission wouldn’t provide an improvement to safety.

I’ve done some research on insurance companies before with regards to pricing and don’t know of any who would provide a discount for having a manual transmission

over an automatic.

EMC Business – We know that finding as well as keeping a summer job can be a challenge for certain young people. In particular, the realities of living in a more rural area can pose serious difficulties when it comes to securing transportation to and from a work site.

That’s why the Employment and Education Centre (EEC), in partnership with CSE Consulting, is offering a special workshop called Working at Home For Students in Kemptville, Prescott and Brockville later this month.

The Kemptville workshop will be held at the G. Howard Ferguson Forestry Station, on Thursday, May 23 at 3 p.m.; CSE Consulting (191 King St. E. in Prescott) on Monday, May 27 at 3 p.m. and at the EEC (105 Strowger Blvd. in Brockville) on Tuesday, May 28 at 3 p.m.

EEC Manager of Special Projects Anne-Marie Rolfe indicates much of the information contained in the workshop has been learned through the delivery of another recent EEC Workshop, Legitimate Opportunities to Work From Home, which has proven to be the most popular new workshop offered at the agency within the past year.

“Working from home presents a unique fit and opportunity for young people who, due to transportation or other issues, might not be able to hold a regular summer job,” Rolfe explains. “This workshop will provide the tools for young people to navigate through the online job universe and since the jobs are done via computer they can continue them when back at school.”

The workshop will provide young people with a unique opportunity to find out more about employers looking for employees to work remotely as well as the knowledge to help separate legitimate work-from-home opportunities from scams.

The workshops are free but registration is requested. Go to www.eecentre.com to register online for the workshop in the community closest to where you live or email Annemarie@ eecentre.com for more information.

If you are interested in a regular summer job, why not register with EEC’s Summer Jobs Service? Call 613-498-2111 or email bill@eecentre.com to get information or to register as a student or employer.

Mentoring also plays an important role in the future direction a child will decide to take later on in life, paving the way to a future full of possibilities.

Children who have been in mentoring programs see real, positive change.

The children involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters go on to graduate from high school at a rate of 20 per cent higher than the national average.

Seventy-eight per cent of those children who came from a social assistance background no longer rely on this form of income and a disproportionately high number of former Littles graduate from college or university compared to others in their age group.

On the other hand, children who are denied the benefit of a positive role model are children who will continue to be deemed “at risk”, and not children “on the brink of success”.

Supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters can have big results. It can be as simple as a game of golf.

For more information about the tournament, or about other ways to get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, please call 613-283-0570 or visit their website at www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

There is a chance to win $10,000 in cash, and the now famous silent auction boasts West Jet tickets, among other treasures!

Sponsorships help increase the bottom line for the agency, and there are many options available, including hole sponsors, food sponsors, and more. It is great visibility for local businesses, and great support for an agency helping kids right here at home.

Mentoring programs are about prevention and building resilience.

EMC Lifestyle - Kem Jones lives today in Tottenham, Ontario. While still a teenager in Ottawa in 1962, a friend of his wanted to buy the radio out of an old car.

The price was $25 but there was a catch. He could have the radio for that price as long as he agreed to take away the car it was mounted in. And so by that very unusual deal, he became the somewhat unwilling owner of a 1939 Mercury convertible.

Kem later bought the car from his friend.

The car had seen better days.

A previous owner had cut some metal off the fenders, perhaps in an attempt to make the car look capable of more speed.

Everything that could be wrong with the car was wrong, and yet that same Kem Jones still owns that same car and it is now fully restored. He can look back on over 50 years of ownership every time he takes it out for a spin.

In the early days, when he served as a police officer in Metropolitan Toronto, Kem attempted an amateur restoration but was never satisfied with the result. Finally, in the 1990s, he took the car to John Hogg in London, Ontario. John was a very skilled body man and welcomed the opportunity of making Kemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car like new again.

The body came off the chassis and everything was stripped down to bare metal.

None of the body parts were interchangeable with a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;39 Ford, making the restoration that much more challenging.

New rocker panels had to be fabricated and installed, and John made an extra set for his own 1939 Mercury convertible, a Florida car which is now

brighter, everything is larger than life, and somehow more real than reality.

Each shot and scene becomes this dazzling piece of moving art. Yet the story is never lost in all the wonder and spectacle. In fact everything including the music and the 3-D effects are carefully crafted to enhance and highlight each performance, each line and each element of the story.

Tobey Maguire is a remarkable talent.

His sensitivity and range of emotions gives the story its heart and its soul.

Carey Mulligan is mesmerizing. Her beauty, her grace, her smile and that touch of sadness that lingers in her eyes wrenches your heart. This is the performance of her career.

Tom Buchanan is the film’s villain.

He’s the guy you want to hate. He’s the guy you want to see bested by Gatsby.

Joel Edgerton commits himself both body and soul to the role.

In so many ways this is Leonardo DiCaprio’s film. He steps into the role of Gatsby and he commands your attention. Just as all the other characters in the story are drawn to him so is the audience. His charm and his charisma are magnetic. His confidence and determination are inspiring. It’s a great performance.

Baz Luhrmann has once again used his unique vision to create a spellbinding masterpiece.

MOVIE: The Great Gatsby STARRING: Leonardo DiCaprio, Toby Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton DIRECTOR: Baz Luhrmann RATING: PG EMC Entertainment - Baz Luhrmann takes us into a world of excess, greed, passion and desire. He takes us into F. Scott Fitzgerald’s America during the roaring twenties, and into the heart of his tragic romance. Luhrmann takes us into The Great Gatsby.

Nick Carraway (Toby Maguire) is our storyteller. He’s Daisy’s (Carey Mulligan) cousin, and an innocent who has been drawn into a world for which he is utterly unprepared. It’s a world of wealth and power and it sweeps him away.

Daisy is the beautiful innocent who has long since lost her innocence, but whose beauty is no less diminished. She has found herself in a loveless marriage to Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). Tom is one of the wealthy elite, but he struggles with no longer being the star athlete and big man on campus.

At the centre of their universe, like a blazing sun, is J. Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio). He is a man of unimaginable wealth and power, but also of secrets.

No one seems to truly know who he is or where his wealth comes from – though he does begin to confide in Nick.

Nick soon learns all of Gatsby’s secrets, but the biggest one of all is Gatsby’s love for Daisy. All that Gatsby does or has done has been to win her heart.

Nothing else matters to Gatsby. Daisy is the last piece that will finally make his life complete.

The Great Gatsby is a truly astounding film. Baz Luhrmann has an incredible sense of style and a distinctive vision, and the will to make them real. Gatsby had a surreal quality to it. Colours are

SF Horticultural Society seeks Garden of the Month nominations

By CHARLES McLENAGHAN

EMC Lifestyle – The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society (SFHS) will be on May 21 at 7:15 p.m. at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95. Everyone is welcome so please come and join us or bring a friend. There is a small charge for non-members. The purpose of our society is to promote horticulture in our community through a friendly atmosphere.

Each month our guest speakers are usually inundated with questions, which indicates the level of interest they generate.

Our guest this month is Marilyn Light, an honorary member of the Ottawa Horticultural Society since 2003. Marilyn has been gardening from an early age. She has lived and taught in Barbados. She has a passion for growing from seed as well as the study and development of her own orchid hybrids. She has received many awards, coauthored books and is also a member of most horticultural societies and garden clubs in the Ottawa area. This is bound to be a fascinating presentation.

Our photo contest winners “Trees in Blossom” for April were: Anneke Phillips, first, Marcia Phillips, second and Aline Hicks, third. The theme for June

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is “Floral Landscape”. Please bring your ‘photos to share with the group and participate in our people’s choice contest.

With the quick burst in summer we hope to have lots of participation in the May flower show. This is a judged event with points going towards the annual awards for best entries.

Please check the yearbook for the classes in both Division I, Horticultural Specimens and Division II, Design, which for 2013 is “Say it in Song”. All exhibits must be placed by 7 p.m.

We are seeking nominations for our Garden of the Month contest commencing this month.

Gardens must be in town and visible from the street. No garden can win in 2 consecutive months. Please submit your nominations by phone to 613267-4046 or to the SFHS web site as shown below.

There is a members’ only garden tour scheduled for June 22. We have members who have volunteered to open their gardens for this tour. If anyone

wishes to carpool we are meeting at the Walmart parking lot at 9 a.m. There will be a potluck of snacks at our last stop so think of something you would like to bring.

Our trips for this year have been arranged and we encourage members to sign up at this meeting. First up is July 20, Whitehouse Perennials and Rockwall Gardens, on Aug. 24, Kingston Farmers’ Market, Seeds of Diversity (Nunnery) and Wendy’s Mobile market, and finally Sept.

21, Eagle Point Winery.

It is with great sadness that we announce that Larry Armstrong passed away on April14. Larry was an inspiration to all of us.

He was dedicated to our society serving as a director for many years. We will all miss him.

Please contact our current president Lorna at 283-0549 for any information you require about your own local horticultural society.

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society plant sale May 18 usual vegetables and herbs, perennials, annuals, shrubs, and house plants. There is also a selection of gently used gardening tools and garden décor. This year, there will also be raffle tickets on sale for a set of three handmade plant stands of staggered heights. And, if you’re wondering what plant to buy or how a certain plant grows, one of the society’s members will be on hand with friendly advice.

The plant sale is the society’s largest fundraiser for the year and the money helps to pay for their great guest speakers at their monthly meetings, held the first Wednesday of the month, April through November, at the Portland

Community Hall. The plant sale enables the Society to keep its annual membership fee for these lively meetings to only $15 a year.

The society needs your help to make this year’s sale a success. Come by on May 18 and see what treasures abound this year. If you have plants or garden tools or décor to donate to the sale, you can drop them off at the Delta agricultural building Thursday, May 16 from 2 to 6 p.m. or Friday, May 17 from 2 to 8 p.m. If you have stuff to donate but can’t get it to Delta, contact Mark Stevens at 613-928-2652 or mkbjstevens@ripnet.com.
