EMC News – In a sad case in Mississippi Mills, multiple calls to 911 went unanswered when a local man collapsed outside his church, and later died. Carl Welk, 70, a member of Guthrie United Church in Clayton, was doing yard work alongside Arnold Virgin at the place of worship when he collapsed, just after 8 a.m. on July 5. “Neighbours tried calling 911, from both cell phones and land lines, but they only heard ringing – no one answered,” explained Art Brown, Mississippi Mills fire chief. “For some reason the calls just wouldn’t go through.” While in the village’s general store, Merv Logan, a friend of the fire chief’s, heard about the emergency situation. “He called me,” said Brown. “I tried calling 911 from my cell phone, but it wouldn’t work either. I then called our fire dispatch.” An ambulance was dispatched and Brown headed to the church. Bystanders were performing cardiopulmonary

CPCC regatta this weekend EMC Sports – This coming Saturday, July 20, the Carleton Place Canoe Club will celebrate its 120th birthday. The canoe club is Canada’s longest continually running sprint paddling club. “On Saturday during lunch hour, we will be holding a cake cutting ceremony to celebrate 120 years of paddling. At this time we will also present lifetime memberships to some notable CPCC alumni,” says head coach Ryan Blair. “We are extremely appreciative of the continued support we receive from the town, as well as the local business community, many of

EMC News – Police have been notified of two individuals going door-to-door in Almonte recently, posing as Town of Mississippi Mills employees and stating that they need to check the home’s meters. “This is not the case,” said Diane Smithson, the chief administrative officer for Mississippi Mills. “These individuals have no affiliation with the

town at all.” Town staff received reports of the individuals making rounds in Almonte and has asked the police to investigate. Smithson said there are instances where town employees will go door-to-door to hand out flyers or to notify homeowners of scheduled maintenance or testing for water quality or pressure. “Those staff will always have photo ID with them that

also has my signature on it,” said Smithson. “If they do not have ID then they do not work for the town.” Smithson said there have been complaints over the years of similar instances, where solicitors have posed as town staff, but the cases have always been investigated and sorted out immediately. “If you’re in doubt, ask for ID. If they can’t produce it, chances are they are not to be trusted,” she said.

resuscitation (CPR), which Brown took over when he arrived on scene. A defibrillator was also brought to the location and shocks were administered. “We continued until ambulance personnel arrived,” said Brown. By this time, in the region of 15 to 20 minutes had passed since Welk collapsed. Brown said attempts to revive Welk were unsuccessful, and although it is not clear if a quicker response could have saved him, officials in Lanark County are now investigating the failure of the 911 service that Friday. “I called Rick Hannah (emergency services coordinator for the county) to request an investigation,” explained the fire chief. “He then called North Bay, which is the 911 answering service, to find out what was happening.” A report is forthcoming. Brown tried calling 911 a little later that morning and got through. Welk was a retired teacher and member of the Almonte Oldtimers Hockey Team. He represented Ontario at the Canada Seniors Games on the slo-pitch team.

One of the staff members, Sean McFadden, education and support coordinator, was recognized for his 10 years of service. Also, current board chair Jennifer Bennett passed her role onto Peter Heggie for the next term. “I am proud to have served on the board of this organization the last three years as its chair,� said Bennett. “My term as chair is completed but I will remain with the board as past-chair and will continue to volunteer for the society which means a great deal to me.� Bennett also announced that 2013 Walk for Memories at the Fox Run bythe-River, Gananoque, surpassed its goal with a final total of $12,000.

Perth resident set to hit the water for annual cancer society kayaking fundraiser By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Bruce Raby has turned his relaxing hobby of kayaking into a successful fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. In a few weeks, the Perth resident will kick off his second annual Kayaking to Beat Cancer fundraiser, by embarking on a five-day, 110-kilometre voyage along the Rideau Canal. From Aug. 10 to 14, he will paddle from Perth to Ottawa along the canal. While this is his second year making that trip, six years prior he kayaked from Kingston to Ottawa. “I’ve raised almost $25,000 over the years, which I feel pretty good about,” he noted during a recent interview. His reasons for organizing the fundraiser are simple: he enjoys being on the water in a kayak and cancer has touched his life. “Cancer has affected a lot of people in my family in particular in some way and I enjoy fundraising and meeting and talking to people. If I put that all together I can do something useful like raising money,” Raby explained. It is a “meaningful” initiative to him, he said. “...I don’t want to stop doing it. I do it because I can and I want to,” Raby commented. Accompanied by his son, Raby’s journey by kayak will set out from Perth at Last Duel Park on Aug. 10. He said he is planning for a five-day trip at the moment, but may finish it sooner “depending on where we end up on each day.” He hopes to travel about 40 kilometres a day, with overnight stops in Merrickville and possibly Smiths Falls and Manotick as well. “I started kayaking in 2005, but had been paddling a canoe

forever. Since taking up kayaking, I’ve paddled a canoe once since then,” Raby said. “It’s so pleasurable and easy to paddle a kayak. I enjoy sitting right on the water and gliding along. It’s an amazing feeling.” “This is an opportunity to do something that I love doing and at the same time do something that’s useful and help other people. It’s a win-win situation,” he added. This year, Raby noted that 100 per cent of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be going directly to the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. “The monies raised will stay in the community and be used to help individuals and families dealing with cancer,” he said. “That’s important. I like the idea and I think it’s important to some people.” The funds have been earmarked to assist with the cancer society’s transportation program, which provides rides for patients going to and from treatment appointments. Award The local cancer society believes what Raby is doing is important as well. So much so, that last month, fundraising coordinator Amanda Gifford and community office manager Leanne Waddell, presented him with the Community Partnerships Award. According to Waddell, the award is given to “individuals or groups who have held their own fundraising events for the Canadian Cancer Society.” She said individuals like Raby are “incredibly important” to continuing the cancer society’s work throughout the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville communities. “We literally would not be able to do things for the community if we didn’t have people

like him,” she noted, referencing the importance of the transportation program, which in the Perth area alone, serves 27 clients. “Last year, we gave 3,500 free rides to cancer-related appointments, just in our community. It’s a huge service we offer here and we also have local peer support programs,” Waddell added. Raby was humbled by the gesture as well. “I certainly never felt that I’ve done enough to merit such a thing, but it’s very nice,” he said of the award. “...I honestly really do appreciate it.” Fundraising events To raise additional funds for his Kayaking to Beat Cancer initiative, Raby will be making appearances at area grocery stores, where individuals can learn more about the fundraiser and make a donation. First up is this Saturday, July 20 at Steve’s Independent Grocer in Carleton Place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then Aug.3 at Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. He is also collecting through coin boxes at LCBO stores in Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Kemptville and Manotick throughout the month of July. As an added incentive, all donations made of $20 or more will receive a ticket into a draw for one of Raby’s prints. He is also an amateur photographer. Raby also credits local businesses for their sponsorship, including Tackaberry Construction, Arnott Brothers Construction Ltd., Domicile Developments, and Hinton Dodge Chrysler. “It’s really rewarding when the organizations in the community are prepared to support the event as well,” he stated.

Shoreline landowners benefitting from shoreline evaluations across province in reporting on shoreline health. This can then be used to identify trends over time and across the province. Ultimately we will have more vibrant, healthier lakes.” The program has been well received by local lake associations with 17 participating in this the pilot year. More than 1,700 properties will be assessed and individual reports handed out to landowners this year alone. “Our hope is that this new information and newfound commitment on the part of land owners will translate to stewardship action on the ground,” states Barbara King, executive director of the Centre for Sustainable Water-

sheds. “We’ve been doing this program in eastern Ontario for decades with great results and now are excited to bring this method to other parts of the province.” If your lake association is interested in participating in this program or for more information on the Love Your Lake program, visit www.loveyourlake. ca or contact Lynn Preston, provincial co-ordinator at preston@watersheds.ca or 613-264-1244. Funding for this program is provided, in part, by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Submitted by the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds.

New Old Age Security option now available EMC News – Effective July 1, Canadian seniors can choose to delay receiving their Old Age Security (OAS) pension for up to five years, allowing them to receive a higher monthly amount in the future. The announcement was made by the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. “People today are taking many different paths to retirement, and some seniors are choosing to work longer,” said Minister Finley. “Canadians now have the option to voluntarily defer their OAS pension for up to five years in exchange for a higher monthly amount.”

As part of the 2012 budget, the government announced the new voluntary deferral option for the OAS, which will give more flexibility and choice in retirement planning to Canadians. The OAS is funded through general tax revenues and is indexed to the Consumer Price Index. It enhances the quality of life of Canadian seniors by providing a modest base upon which to build additional income for retirement. In 2012-2013, it provided 5.2 million seniors with an estimated $40.4 billion in benefits. For further information, visit the Service Canada website at www.servicecanada.gc.ca/oaschanges.

sive deterioration of the frontal lobe of the brain), at the age of 61. “I had been struggling for several years with confusion, both at home and in my secretarial job,” explained McKinlay. “I finally went to the doctor one morning when I could not remember how to put the denture back in my mouth.” Right away, the doctors started McKinlay on cholinesterase inhibitor Aricept. In addition, McKinlay had heard about memantine while visiting her friends in a chat room and consulted her doctor about this medication. With both medications, McKinlay is able to function better than she did. “Seven years later I’m still chatting to the same people about these two drugs,” she said. “Gone are the days of putting the bread in the garbage can instead of the breadbox or dumping the cup of flour in the sink, instead of the mixing bowl and I even remember how to put my dentures back in my mouth.” If she tries to do too much, her brain becomes foggy and she needs to slow down and do one task at a time with breaks in between. McKinlay is also sensitive to sound and uses headphones to block out noise. “My eyes have also become affected in that sometimes I have extreme sensitivity to light which

causes headaches,” she explained. “When this happens I use clip-on sunglasses on top of sunglasses or stay indoors and keep the curtains closed.” McKinlay also had issues with taking showers because of the sound of the water and the feeling of the spray hitting her skin. So with her ingenuity, she starting using earplugs to dim the noise and now enters the bathtub at the far end away from the showerhead and only exposes one part of the body to the water at a time. Once again, she enjoys her daily shower. “Others have said to me that they have trouble making decisions about things and I must agree,” the guest speaker noted. “The decision of what to wear each morning takes up a whole bunch of brain power. A simple solution I found is to have a few of my favourite outfits hanging at one end of my closet. Each ensemble is on a hanger. I’m ready to go in minutes and no decisionmaking.” McKinlay also has other suggestions relative to keeping the bathroom uncluttered, shopping, using a curling iron, brain breaks and taking medication. To find out more, go to www. jim-mary.com. This is a great resource as McKinlay shares her experiences in journals. “Make your life as simple as you can,” she recommended. “You can live well with the condition. Focus on what you can do.”

EMC News – The Love Your Lake program is in full swing across the province of Ontario, assessing shoreline health in five regions of Ontario. Love Your Lake is a joint venture of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW) in eastern Ontario and the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) and is operating in partnership with the Lakeland Alliance of Peterborough Green Up, the City of Greater Sudbury, Muskoka Watershed Council and lake organizations in eastern Ontario. Working with local lake associations, the regional partners are conducting shoreline assessments from boats. The process involves looking at every property on the lake and offering up individualized reports to landowners suggesting ways in which they can improve their land management practices and help increase the health of their lake. Suggestions include planting more trees and shrubs by the shore, the so-called “ribbon of life,” which has huge impacts on improving the quality of the water, the habitat for fish and wildlife and property values. So does maintaining a healthy septic system, not using fertilizers or pesticides and using nature friendly products. “We’re very excited about this program,” says David Browne, program manager at CWF, “all participating regions of the province are now using the same method to assess shorelines and provide advice to landowners. This will ensure continuity and uniformity

This year is beginning of great things for Perth’s Studio Theatre EMC Entertainment – Many people consider the number thirteen unlucky. That’s why high-rise buildings have no 13th floor, why people fear Friday the 13th, and why many will breathe a sigh of relief when the year 2013 passes uneventfully. But for Studio Theatre in Perth, the year 2013 is the beginning of great things. First, they are offering a spectacular season of plays with something for everyone. The opening production in September is a perennial favourite, a comedy by Norm Foster. Old Love is a challenging play in which ten characters are played by only four actors. Foster at his best, making us laugh one minute, then reflect on life the next. In October, the company will host an Evening of One-Act Plays featuring Studio Theatre’s own entry into the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s One-Act Play Festival (EODL). The festival is an event which this group has hosted twice it joined the EODL in 2009, and in which they have won awards each year. As has become the custom, this year they will host an evening of oneact plays at Studio Theatre, featuring their festival entry, For the Death of Me by Norm Foster, directed by Barb Guthrie. (In case you think Foster’s plays are just fluff, his play Looking won the Theatre Ontario Full Length Play Festival in Kingston this past year). For the Death of Me will be accompanied by another one-act play from a guest company. This is still in the works so watch the Studio Theatre website for details. In December, a treat for everyone

with The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose, an English pantomime by Norman Robbins. This ever-popular theatrical tradition is full of heroes and villains, music and laughter. A great way to celebrate the Christmas season with the whole family – fun for the kids and just a little bit naughty for the grownups. Then in February, Jeremy Dutton brings us the challenging drama that carries both superb comedy and powerful emotion. Leaving Home by David French, is a truly Canadian story about the Mercers, a Newfoundland family who have settled in Toronto. This will be followed in April by the blockbuster Lion in Winter by James Goldman, directed by Kathy Reid. This Broadway hit went on to become an Academy Award winning movie with Peter O’Toole and Katherine Hepburn. And finally, to end the season with a musical bang, Little Women – The Musical based on the beloved novel of Louisa May Alcott with Music by Jason Howland and Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. It will be directed by C. Lee Bates who brought Studio Theatre’s first musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, to the stage last year. Another story to appeal to the young and the young at heart. But the icing on the cake for this fabulous season of live entertainment is that all of these plays can now be enjoyed by everyone!

CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF HELPING OUR COMMUNITY THE EMC - 6 - Thursday, July 18, 2013


REGIONAL NEWS From page 4

Having raised a total of $7,000 along with a fellow paddler who made the trek with him, Raby said he’s aiming to bring in $4,000 through this year’s event. He gets immense pleasure from meeting people along the way. “If I see someone close to the water, I’ll paddle over and ask for a donation. I love doing that and I probably raised close to $500 on the water between Perth and Ottawa,” he stated. “People will hand you $20 bills or so and it’s amazing that they do that.” One story of generosity, in particular, is something that will always stick with him. “A few years ago when I was in Kars near Manotick and an older gentleman was sitting by a rickety old dock in front of a small cottage. I approached him and explained what I was doing and he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a $100 bill and handed it to me,” Raby said. “I don’t know if he saw the shocked look on my face and I asked him if

he needed change, but he said no, that he was feeling pretty flush that day. I’ll never forget that, that kind of generosity...” Raby has lock passes for 15 boats and anyone who wishes to paddle along with him on the trek. “They can certainly get in touch with me and are more than welcome to paddle,” he said. “They must be reasonably experienced paddlers and have their own boat.” Over the next few weeks, Raby said he will be getting out on the water to prepare for the fundraiser and said it’s a rewarding experience he hopes to continue into the future. “I’m tired at the end, but it’s an incredible feeling of satisfaction when you’re done knowing that in a small way you’re helping people and that’s important to me,” he remarked.

How to celebrate food…from field to table EMC Lifestyle – In Lanark, Leeds and Grenville there are many opportunities to celebrate local, healthy and nutritious foods. You can begin by visiting your local farmers’ markets and community gardens where local fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be found. Talking to the farmers will help you learn which foods grow well in our areas and how they are grown. Many grocery stores also carry local foods. At Rideau Valley Diabetes Services we offer free grocery store tours that explore foods and food labels in local grocery stores. Learning to read labels will help you prepare nutritious meals

for you and your family. You can also plant your own garden or grow smaller vegetables in pots at home. When it comes time to cook, make sure to use healthier methods such as broiling, baking, and steaming. If cooking has become a chore or you would like to take your skills to another level, consider some new cookbooks from your local library or go to www.dietitians. ca/eatwell for new recipe ideas. Another option is to attend a cooking class in your community. For people with Diabetes or Prediabetes, Rideau Valley Diabetes Services hosts cooking groups monthly in Smiths Falls and Brockville. You can register

Community Health Centre (2 Gould St.) or call 613-283-1952. To register for any of our programs or for more information, call: 613-498-1555 (Brockville office), 613-2842558 (Smiths Falls office), toll free: 1-877-321-4500.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Local MPP fed up with Hydro One monopoly DEAR EDITOR: You know something is wrong with Hydro One when more than half of the calls that come into my offices in Perth, Carleton Place, Napanee and Toronto are about the poor quality of service at Hydro One. I receive more calls from people with hydro problems than I do from people who have issues with all of the rest of the Ontario government, of all its ministries and of its more than 600 agencies, boards and commissions. The number one complaint I hear from residents since the Liberals’ Green Energy Act and its cousin the time of use smart meters, is that people have seen their hydro costs double or triple practically overnight. It is simply not believable that so many people increased their electricity usage that much. Unfortunately, there is no way for anyone to check whether they really have or have not used that much electricity. Unlike with the old meters, where you could go out and check your hydro usage to verify whether your Hydro One’s actual or estimated bills were correct,

you can’t with the new time of use meters. Instead, you must pay whatever arbitrary amount Hydro One bills you. Many people often criticize banks for their customer service. However, can you imagine a bank that wouldn’t give you proof of all of your withdrawal, deposit or payment transactions? Would you willingly be a customer of a bank that prevented ATMs or tellers from providing receipts, and sent you instead only a monthly account balance that could not be independently verified? First off, it would be unlawful for any bank or other business to not issue receipts on request and you probably would find another bank, or even file a lawsuit. But, one thing is for certain, you wouldn’t remain a customer. Unlike most other businesses, Hydro One is a monstrous monopoly and does not need to prove its customer billings to you, the customer. Hydro One customers have no way of verifying See LETTER page 9

COMMENTARY

Surviving summer vacation EMC Editorial – Just a couple of weeks into summer break and many families are planning or about to embark on their vacation getaway. Whether sticking close to home or travelling across the country (or the world), there are many challenges to vacationing with the little ones. Preparation is key. Map out a schedule and stick to it. By doing this, children will thrive in their routine. Plan your child’s naptime during the commute to your destination. Make sure to pack light, bringing only the essentials with you. Being laden with luggage while trying to pass through airport security with two cranky children in tow is no one’s idea of paradise. Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) recommends doing some research if you’re venturing across the border. Have appropriate identification on hand, receipts and documentation, and be sure to read the rules on what products (alcohol, tobacco) can be brought back into the country. Certain goods such as plants, weapons and animal products are also prohibited. Plan your own vacation and try to avoid popular tourist destinations. Most kids of a young age aren’t apt to remember touring Times Square or taking a trip to Paris to see the Eiffel tower. Save those types of vacations for when they’re a bit older and can appreciate seeing the sights. Instead, opt for activities such as camping, amusement parks or shorter road trips. This gives children a chance to relax with a hike or a swim and have some down time when they (and parents) need it. Visit the CBSA website (www.cbsa.gc.ca) to become versed on border regulations.

Tramps were transient back in Depression years EMC Lifestyle – Father was sure there was a hidden sign nailed to a tree, only visible to the countless tramps who rode the rails that said, “jump here... good food up the hill.” Deep in the heart of the Depression years, almost as if they were put there to remind us there was someone in worse shape than we were, tramps walked the back roads, rode the freight trains, and survived by begging for their next meal. Countless numbers found their way to our kitchen door, always around dinner time, looking for something to eat. They frightened me, although Father said they were harmless, and I was glad that if they did surface at night, we never saw them. My brothers were sure they often came up over the West Hill and slept in the barn where they were warm and away from the outdoor elements. They seemed to know, on the farm, the big meal was at the noon hour. They also seemed to know when the family was all seated at the table, because that was when we would hear the gentle knock on the door. They never had to ask for something to eat. We knew why they were there.

Mother would look them over, and if they were clean, having taken a wash in the Bonnechere River before coming up the hill, they were invited in. If they looked like they needed a hand-scrub, Mother would take out a wash basin of warm soapy water, put it on the back stoop and tell them to come in when they had washed up. The brothers would squeeze together on the bench and make room for the tramp, and Mother would laden a plate full of food, and I would watch mesmerized as the food vanished as if they hadn’t eaten in days, and there was a good chance they hadn’t. Father would try to make conversation. But the tramps said little. And we five children clammed up as if we had lost our tongues. I wanted to know where they had come from, and how they had become tramps, but of course, I too sat mute while the food disappeared. As quickly as they came, they spent just enough time to cram in their heaping plates of food, and then they stood and were ready to head out again. Mother would tell them to sit a spell, and we always knew what she was going to do, Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

because it never varied all the time we lived through those Depression years. She would take a brown paper bag off the rack at the back door. Then she would go to the bake table and make thick sandwiches of whatever meat we had had for dinner. Always she would tuck in cookies or a big piece of pie, and then she would go to the ice box and with the ice pick chip off big slivers of ice and put them into a glass jar that at one time held pickles or preserves, and fill it with cold water from the granite pail. Often I would see the tramp wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, as he thanked Mother and tucked the bulging paper bag into the sack he carried on the end of a short pole resting on his shoulder.

had come, out the back door and down the hill, making his way to the railroad tracks. I knew he would be waiting until the next freight train rounded the corner at the very back of the farm. It would slow down to handle the curve in the track, and Father said this was where they would jump on the train and go off to goodness knows where. We never saw the same tramp twice. And they came in all shapes and sizes, and all ages. Some of them, I thought, were no more than boys...young like my three brothers. And I would wonder why they were tramps, and my brothers weren’t. And then one day I learned at least a partial answer to that question. The young tramp that rapped on our kitchen door that day was whip thin, and as clean as a whistle. His hair was coal-black, and slicked down, showing that he had taken more than a quick wash in the river. Just as he finished tucking into his second piece of pie he asked Father for a job. He talked more than any other tramp we had ever fed. He was what was called a “home boy”. He came from England as a 12-year-old, he said, from an orphanADVERTISING 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

age. He was sent to a farm in the Ottawa Valley, where he suffered from abuse and endless hours of labour. Father told him there was no money for a hired man, and besides we had three strapping boys to do the chores. But the tramp persevered. He told Father if he could sleep in the barn, and have three meals a day, and a Flat-Fifty of cigarettes every Saturday night, he would work for nothing. And that was how one of those tramps who rode the rails and depended on the generosity of others, became our hired man. He really became a member of the family, and I would often see Father slip the man, who was really a boy, a dollar when he could spare it. The tramps were a symbol of that era. We knew not where they had come from, or where they were going. It mattered little what time of year it was...winter or summer, almost daily we could count on seeing a tramp coming up over the West Hill. And they were never turned away. They came hungry, and they left with full bellies and enough food to take them to the next stop on their endless journey. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

whether or not they used the electricity, or the time of day it was used with time of use smart meters, and neither does Hydro One. No one can double check whether his or her actual or estimated bills are either accurate, or even close. I have also seen on many occasions where Hydro One provides only estimated bills for up to a year, causing huge burdens and catch up bills for many. And if you refuse to pay, you could be literally left out in the cold. That’s what you get from a monopoly: worsening customer service, increased costs and less accountability. To be fair, Hydro One’s customer service isn’t entirely its own fault; many of their failings are due to the fact they have to force you to pay for the failure of the Ontario Green Energy Act. When the Liberals introduced the Green Energy Act in 2009, I warned Ontario’s Legislature that the only way the Liberals

could pay for their plan to pick winners, was by most everyone else becoming losers. The only way we could pay for over-priced electricity from wind turbines on beautiful Amherst Island, or solar panels in Lanark County would be by gouging every other person in this province. It’s sad to realize that every time the sun shines or the winds blow in Ontario each of us gets soaked with another big unverified electricity bill. All while knowing that Hydro One has shut down our low-cost electricity generators such as hydro and nuclear, and is paying our neighbouring provinces and states to take our “green energy” off our hands. We obviously need more competition and more choice for Hydro One customers and fewer politicians insisting on dumb smart meters and even dumber “green economics.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters busy planning for 40th anniversary celebration this September

Tickets available for Sept. 14 anniversary dinner To celebrate this special anniversary the agency is planning an Anniversary Dinner on Sept. 14 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club.

opportunity to apply for the CIBC Youthvision Scholarship. The scholarship involves three partner agencies, CIBC, YMCA and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. This year, we are beyond thrilled to announce that one of our Littles, Rayna, has won the scholarship. Rayna is one of only 33 students across Canada that were selected for the scholar-

ship and she is BBBS of Lanark County’s first recipient. We couldn’t be more proud. The scholarship begins in Grade 10 and follows the recipient through their postsecondary years, up to a maximum of six years. The scholarship focuses on educational success, community engagement and mentorship. Rayna’s Big Sister, Elizabeth, has

agreed to stay on with Rayna throughout her years in high school and university to offer her the support and mentoring that a Big Sister often gives. As the recipient of the scholarship, Rayna will be eligible for a summer internship each year and her tuition will be paid for by CIBC. We See BBBS page 19

Open House


What consumers need to know about moving into storage EMC News – Canadians-on-themove often need storage to fit their lifestyle choices. Folks should contract with a company that is reputable and that offers physical safety for their stored household effects. Ensuring that your goods are protected in advance is much easier than trying to make a claim afterwards. Here’s what you need to know as you search for storage space. Make sure you completely understand the services that a moving and/or storage company is offering you, your responsibilities, the financial liability of the company in case of damage to or loss of your goods, the security of the storage space and your ability to access your goods while they are in storage.

Remember that if you intend to move into a mini-storage facility, the facility is only responsible to you for the rental of the space, and takes no responsibility for the contents of that space. Ask about any additional charges. There may be a non-recurring warehouse wrapping and handling charge. Make sure you have a complete list of the articles that are going to be stored. You may have to compare your listing with the warehouse listing to get an explanation of your storage charges. The monthly storage rate is based on either the volume or weight of containers, or a combination of the two. The company may also have a minimum charge for storage. You will pay more for large, bulky items or ones with an unusual size

this week in

or shape. You will also pay more if you pack your cartons poorly. Always visit the storage facility to see if it is clean, dry and rodent-free. Enquire about climate control. Check out their security system. Check to see how property is stored. Sofas and other large upholstered items should be wrapped with protective materials. Finished furniture should be wrapped. Rugs should be mothproofed, wrapped and placed onto racks. Mattresses, mirrors, pictures and other large, fragile items should also be wrapped. Refrigerators and freezers should be serviced. You may need to remove some items from storage early. Identify these items at the outset so the warehouse can place

them into an easily-accessible spot as the goods are being moved in. It is recommended that consumers who place household goods into storage should purchase depository insurance. For full protection, insure your goods to value and, for this protection, you will pay a monthly premium with the storage charges. If the goods are not insured to full value, you will suffer a penalty in the event of a loss. Regardless, the storage company will not accept responsibility for fragile articles that you pack yourself. The storage company also will not accept responsibility for the mechanical, electrical or electronic functions of pianos, radios, clocks, refrigerators, television and stereo sets, etc. Neither will the com-

pany accept responsibility for articles in drawers, trunks, cases, etc., nor for loss or damage from any other cause, unless depository insurance is purchased. Contact the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) for assistance in finding an ethical moving and storage company who will provide professional moving and storage services – a mover that subscribes to CAM’s code of ethics, meets CAM’s business standards and commits to mediation in the unlikely event of a dispute. Your best protection in reducing your risk to your worldly possessions is to hire a reputable company at the outset. For more information, visit the Canadian Association of Movers online at www.mover.net.

ELGIN DAYS

EMC Events – Elgin Days was a huge success over the weekend with lots of activities for kids of all ages. The bouncy castle was one of the popular stops along the way.

Camden Black feeds the goat some grass, above. Below, Christopher McAllister and Cameron Deed check out the bunnies.

Diane Warren and Carol Haapala of the Elgin Lions Club sell tickets under the shade of umbrellas, but it didn’t do much against the heat of the weekend. Below, Ava and Emma Clark feed the goats.

‘Invisible’ brain injury can happen at any time EMC News – It can happen in the blink of an eye. To children. To parents. To you. To me. June marked National Brain Injury Awareness month. But brain injury is a hard thing to explain to people who have never gone through it, because brain injury is something we can’t see. Susan Saucier has been an integral part of Regional Community Brain Injury Services, an arm of Providence Care St. Mary’s on the Lake Hospital in Kingston, for nearly 20 years. She set up the Brockville office and began outreach services in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

BBBS From page 10

will be providing a snack and a drink for each person, however you may want to bring some money for additional drinks or canteen items. Siloki is located at 123 Poonamalie Road in Smiths Falls. The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. and is free. Transportation is to be provided by Bigs or parents. A reminder will go out to matches and families closer to the date for the RSVP deadline. Our group activities are a great way to get out and meet other matches and catch a glimpse of the big picture. Volunteer opportunities

“An acquired brain injury is defined as damage to the brain,� she says, quoting from their Strategies Handbook. “It occurs after birth and is not related to a birth disorder or a progressive disease (such as Alzheimer’s disease or multiple sclerosis). “The injury (can) be caused by a violent movement of the head (resulting from a motor vehicle crash, a fall, an assault, a sports injury, etc.); or it (can) be due to a non-traumatic cause such as stroke, tumor, aneurysm rupture, anoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain), or infection (encephalitis). “An acquired brain injury can have multiple effects, including physical, communication, thinking, behavioural

and emotional difficulties.� For each person with a brain injury, there are families and friends whose lives will never be the same again. On the third Monday of each month, Saucier leads a brain injury caregivers’ support group in Brockville, where she is reminded of the toll brain injury takes on loved ones. Some of the caregivers have spouses who have suffered debilitating strokes. Some are parents whose children struggle with brain injury because of accidents. Some are relatives of people whose brains were hurt because of disease. One mother in the support group says she wishes people would be more sensi-

tive to her son, who seems all right on the surface but who, because of the way his brain is injured, is vulnerable to abuse or manipulation every day of his life. “We take ordinary things for granted,� Saucier says. “A simple question such as ‘How are you?’ can confuse a brain-injured person if it’s a phrase you just toss off without caring about the answer.� What can we do? Read. Learn. Speak to families of brain-injured people. Ask them how it feels to be suddenly living with a person who is no longer the same as he or she once was. Ask how to help in simple ways. “The thing is,� says Saucier, “brain injury can happen to any of us at any time.�

Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

children. When other moms in the neighbourhood had commitments (appointments, shopping etc.) my mother would often mind the kids next door. Moms took turns so they could do what was necessary outside the home. Today circumstances are very different. The nuclear family is much less prominent and the demands on single parents, who are becoming more and more common, are understandably increased. Those parents who are together are usually part of a dual income situation, something which is vital to pay the bills. Depending on finances parents and guardians have options today. There are summer camps and other similar programs where they can enroll their children, for a price, and know they are in good hands while they’re working. Lack of supervision What about those who can’t afford such opportunities however? It is those children I will refer to in this article. So called “latch-key kids� are a modern reality which causes me concern. In many cases children, some of them very young, are being left to their own devices year-round while their parents or guardians are at work or out for the evening. I am a daily walker and that offers me a window into the human condition. This summer I have been seeing things first-hand that is very worrisome. I realize you can’t protect people from themselves. On the other hand children under the age of consent should be properly supervised. They should also be receiving good advice when it comes to their personal safety. I believe our community is a mi-

ing bicycles these days aren’t wearing a helmet. Clearly the issues that arise when young people are left unsupervised for long periods of time go well beyond personal safety. There are numerous community issues, including vandalism, that spring from this situation. In closing I will pose this question to parents and guardians. “Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?� Do you know where they are right now? More to the point, do the parents I am referring to care? If they did presumably they would do a better job of monitoring their young charges or ensuring they are properly advised and reasonably well cared for by others. It isn’t rocket science is it! When I was young most parents were far more careful about monitoring their children and putting reasonable restrictions in place which we were expected to adhere to. There were some rules to follow in other words. Sadly that isn’t the case in far too many homes today. Somebody has to be in charge and in my world that is down to parents and guardians. I believe adults should be held re-

Reflections

crocosm of centres across Ontario and Canada. Therefore the issues I will now refer to are problems in every community because parental/ adult supervision is either lacking or non-existent. This has been an incredibly wet summer and rivers and lakes across southern Ontario are at all-time highs. We have lived in Carleton Place for 37 years. In that time I can’t recall the Mississippi River being so high and fast flowing in July. Yet every day I see children playing beside the surging river or, worse yet, jumping into the Mississippi to swim at the worst possible locations. I was so worried by what I saw last week that I went to the local Ontario Provincial Police detachment to express my concern. The OPP said they have received many similar complaints. But every time they chase the kids away, they return. An officer was immediately dispatched to act on the information I provided. But obviously the police can’t be minding children 24/7. Oh yes, the age of the children involved? I’m referring to kids between 10 to 14-years-old. It isn’t just the danger of drowning – which is very real right now – that concerns me. Our town is generally safe. But I couldn’t help but think that young girls and boys left unsupervised could easily become a target for predators. Sadly, that possibility is a fact of life in today’s world as we are all very aware. Well, most of us are aware. Clearly some parents haven’t gotten the message. Because many children are being allowed to roam the streets unsupervised at all hours of the day and night. The safety issues I see every day go beyond swimming of course. Another example is the number of small children who ride bicycles without helmets today. I see this happening everywhere. There has been a helmet law in Ontario since 1995. It applies to anyone under the age of 18. The fine for non-compliance is $75 according to the information I found on-line. And yet three of every four kids I see rid-

EMC Lifestyle – The dog days of summer are upon us. The time when temperatures soar, humidity rises and with the new school year still weeks away, the period when many children are looking for things to do, unless family vacation intervenes. This is nothing new. Kids and summer go together like strawberries and ice cream. It was the same when I was a youngster. As the school year dragged on we longed for summer and the freedom to do what we wanted to do for a couple of months. Growing up on the family farm near Stittsville summer didn’t exactly work out that way for my brother and two sisters. There was work to do, specifically helping with haying and doing the chores that are a daily reality on a farm. Still, we managed to squeeze in some R&R and earlier in our youth, before my parents purchased the farm, we enjoyed the leisurely pursuits which, to this day, continue to be a part of every summer for school age children. Kids who are too young to have a summer job or who don’t have home chores to do (a large number based on my observations) often find that the months of July and August can be excruciatingly boring. The allure of summer wears off quickly when you have nothing to do. The differences between my youth and the world the children of today inhabit are considerable of course. But boredom is a universal issue and despite all of the electronic gadgetry of the new millennium, it is clear to me young people today also have trouble finding enough to keep them occupied during the “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.� In my youth circumstances for children were very different. In the more gentle times of the 1950s and ‘60s the majority of kids were part of a traditional (nuclear) family. In most cases dad worked every day to bring home the bacon. Mom was most likely a homemaker who, besides the considerable amount of work that goes with running a household seven days a week, was also the supervisor for her own

Stuart McLean records two Vinyl Café episodes in Almonte By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – Brevity. That was the theme of Stuart McLean’s opening segment at his second Vinyl Café show at the Old Town Hall in Almonte, which took place Saturday, July 13. “Omit needless words,” said McLean. “That is all one really needs to know about great writing.” There is power, he said, in things left unspoken and mystery in things left unseen. “And that,” he said over the huge cheer from the audience, “is why I fell in love with Al-

monte the moment I arrived.” In true McLean style, with enthusiastic hand gestures and dramatic reading, he said that when he stood at the top of Mill Street, Almonte’s central hub, that his heart went “boom.” “It was the allure of mystery,” he said. The road curved like a comma, luring him to find out what was around the corner. He compared the street to a perfectly formed sentence: it hid just enough from a tourist to compel them to wander down it, to discover the mystery of what lay around the bend. The river, he said, performs the same miracle of mystery. From one bridge you see a calm river, but around the bend lies

Elderberry herb the focus at this year’s Ottawa Valley Midsummer Herbfest kkent@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Get ready, foodies and healthy lifestyle enthusiasts: the 18th annual Ottawa Valley Midsummer Herbfest will be held Sunday, July 28 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Herbfest is a day to celebrate herbs and their uses in gardening, cooking and healthy living. The smoke-free, rainor-shine event is has been hosted at the Herb Garden, located just outside of Almonte, for the last 10 years. Each year, the Ottawa Valley Herb Association (OVHA) names a herb of the year, which the festival is centered

around. This year the herb is elderberry – a local plant whose berries and flowers have incredible healing powers and culinary uses, so long as it is the black or blue coloured berries in question; the red ones are poisonous to humans, according to the OVHA. Gerry Bedard, a spokesperson for the event, said that this year’s festival will be much like it has in the past, but with all new speakers. “We are all very enthused about this year’s festival,” he said. “It’s a great event that supports local vendors and businesses.” Herbfest is a full day of seminars, presentations, food and fun. This year, said

Bedard, the speakers are all well-known and recognized names in the industry. The day will begin with Therese Kelders, a life in transformation coach, and her presentation on major life transformations and how to go from adult to elder. Also speaking that day will be Vanessa Simmons, the cheese sommelier for Savvy Company in Ottawa, and Heather Garrod , a certified aroma therapist and owner of Planet Botanix, to name a few. At 11 a.m. the chef cook-off will begin. Each year at the festival a few local top chefs compete in a cooking challenge involving the herb of the year and are judged by the audience to determine a winner.

EMC Entertainment – Music at the Market 2013 kicked off July 9 at Carleton Place’s Market Square. Left: Monkey Rock Music’s John King entertains the crowd gathered. Next up on July 25 is Junkyard Symphony. Showtime is 6:30 p.m. Submitted photo

There will also be live music and other activities to keep people, young and old, entertained. Herbfest is a huge undertaking, said Bedard, and more volunteers are always needed. “We are always willing to take extra people if they are willing to help out,” he said. “Volunteers get free passes to the festival, for themselves and family, a T-

shirt and they get to attend a barbecue in the fall.” Bedard added that he will also award volunteer hours for high school students to put towards their graduation credentials. More information about volunteering or the Ottawa Valley Midsummer Herbfest can be found at their website: www. herbfest.ca.

Town of Carleton Place facing rise in policing costs By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Safety at any price? The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has proposed two pricing options for renewal of its contract to provide municipal policing in the Town of Carleton Place. During the corporate services committee meeting on June 18, treasurer Phil Hogan outlined the dollar amounts for 2014, adding in the projected 8.55 per cent salary increases. Municipalities who contract OPP services can expect to pay an additional 8.55 per cent in salary increases in 2014, according to a May 7 letter from the commander of the Municipal Policing Bureau. “Option one is $3,214,935, resulting in an increase of $672,785,â€? stated the meeting’s chair, Coun. Louis Antonakos. “Option two – $4,257,989 – is an increase of $1,715,839.â€? Option one offers the minimum level of service required to address adequate and effective policing, in addition to the following enhancements: community sergeant (CS), community services officer (CSO) and administrative clerk. “Option two is the standalone figure,â€? explained Hogan. “We’d have our own inspector‌everything would be independent.â€? In 2013 the town’s budget for the OPP contract was $2,542,150. Over and above, the municipality will be losing an estimated $110,000 in provincial backing by way of the On-

tario Municipal Partnership Fund. As a result, the total figures for 2014 are as follows: • Option one – $782,785 (a 9.66 per cent tax rate increase) • Option two – $1,815,835, (a 23.77 per cent tax rate increase) Mayor Wendy LeBlanc moved a motion, which was seconded by Coun. Gary Strike, to immediately eliminate option two from further discussion. “I don’t want to see it again,â€? she said. “A 23.77 per cent tax increase is not something we can be looking at, and I don’t think we should even be considering it.â€? The motion carried. Antonakos noted the optional enhancements within the OPP contract (CS, CSO and administrative clerk) would exhaust $403,000, impacting the tax rate by 4.98 per cent. The town’s current OPP was extended to Nov. 1, 2013, owing to an amendment. It expired in April. The new contract would be for a five-year period. “A decision must be made and the agreement signed before the end of October,â€? stated Les Reynolds, director of protective services and the Ocean Wave Fire Company’s fire chief. “What would change for Carleton Place if we didn’t sign the contract?â€? asked deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg. “The minute the contract expires, deputy mayor, they (OPP) would move to what they perceived to being the proper level of service for Carleton Place,â€? answered Reynolds, “and the proper level of service includes another

1.71 officers.� “Nothing would change the day after the contract lapsed,� said Sonnenburg. “The amount billed (to the town) would,� said Reynolds. Sonnenburg remarked although the number of patrol officers might increase, the level of service and security offered to the town’s residents would not decrease. Council carried a motion to bring the matter forward to a meeting mid-summer, discussing the optional enhancements. In operation for more than 100 years, the OPP now provides contract policing services to close to 320 municipalities. Mayor comments “The fact we are in contract talks with an entity that will have the final word no matter what our concerns regarding the taxpayers of our community, the term ‘negotiations’ is simply not accurate,� said LeBlanc in a letter to members of council, town staff, the police services board and local OPP detachment. “They will tell us how many officers we need and how much it will cost. Period!� The municipal leader is proposing to look at the number of officers in a creative manner, which would involve flexibility from Carleton Place and the OPP. “At this time and since the takeover of the OPP in 2003, there are three positions on the Carleton Place force that are enhancements – community sergeant, community services officer and ad-

ministrative clerk,� said LeBlanc. “The administrative clerk position should be eliminated as an enhancement.� She also suggested the CSO position in Carleton Place be eliminated, since the municipality is entitled to time (22 per cent) from each of the two other CSOs located in Lanark County. “As near as I can ascertain, the amount of time the two CSOs spend in each community is based on the percentage of time, money each community pays toward policing,� said LeBlanc. “I am uncertain whether we get that now, even though we pay for it.� Determined by the Municipal Policing Bureau in Orillia, 22 per cent of the OPP inspector’s position should be dedicated to Carleton Place matters. LeBlanc believes this is not necessary, since the CS position is very similar to the town’s former chief of police model. Not only is the municipality paying for the CS as an enhancement, it is not receiving the services of the inspector equal to the amount it is paying for.

“I am in no manner pointing fingers,� she said. “This is the reality of the situation, and it is simply due to the issues of working in a detachment with seven different contracts.� “The inspector has made it clear Carleton Place, as a growing community and the largest urban community serviced by the OPP in Lanark County, needs the services of the community sergeant,� continued LeBlanc. “If this is indeed the case, the position should be part of the complement of officers serving the town and should not be deemed an enhancement.� Several options were presented for funding the CS position. Mississippi Mills and Beckwith pay for their officers to operate out of the detachment in Perth. However, these officers operate out of the Carleton Place-owned office. “Carleton Place receives no financial compensation for this arrangement,� said LeBlanc. “This needs to be rectified.�

CPHS student top winner at festival EMC News – A Carleton Place High School student was recently recognized as one of the winners of the MyView Youth Film Festival at the Kemptville Dandelion Festival. Liam Ryan shared a cheque for $1,000. His video is called “One Wouldn’t Hurt.� The festival was open to students aged 12 to 18 across Leeds, Grenville

and Lanark who wanted to showcase their thoughts about environment, culture, community, health, and/or their future in film. A number of submissions were nominated by a committee of select community members. The nominated films were then showcased at public screenings for the audience to vote on.

Fair Parenting Project helps children with parents who live separately By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – When a person is going through a separation, his or her entire life is in turmoil. “It is common knowledge 50 per cent of marriages end in break-ups,” said Eric Letts, a local family lawyer. When this happens, a person needs to make a number of important decisions, in addition to coming to peace with the demise of his or her interpersonal relationship. “There is a lot going on, and most importantly, they need to make decisions that impact their children,” said Letts. “What they need is a parenting plan.” Valuable initiative The Fair Parenting Project (FPP) was co-founded by Letts and Dr. Lauren Donen (his wife), promoting an evenhanded parenting schedule for children with parents who live separately. The lawyer offered an enlightening presentation to Carleton Place council at its policy review committee meeting on June 11. Not only is Letts a lawyer, he’s a husband, father, coach, taxpayer and community member. “He started the Fair Par-

enting Project to improve the experiences of children whose parents live separately,” said Coun. Doug Black. Letts recently approached Black about the FPP. “The project gives children a better chance at a good life, reduces conflict and disputes for the separated parents, and makes our community more enjoyable and prosperous,” explained the politician. On top of Letts’ legal training, he has a degree for the University of Winnipeg, and he did graduate work at Harvard University. “Letts and the Fair Parenting Project maintain a dialogue with stakeholders, including school bus service, STEO (Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario) and Lanark County Interval House,” noted Black. What’s more, family law offices in Carleton Place have pledged to make clients aware of the FPP. “In 2011 I started to really push it with other family lawyers in town – Craig Rogers, Carolyn Gerbac and Ralph Lee,” said Letts. “They’ve all committed to making their clients aware of the FPP – in suitable situations.” In Canada and the United States, parenting plans are made unique to every family. “Five years ago my wife

and I talked about divorce and its impact on children,” said Letts. “We devised a best practice parenting schedule, promoting it to our respective clients and patients.” The children reside with each parent on the same days each week with the weekends alternating. One parent has the children every Monday and Tuesday and the other parent has the children every Wednesday and Thursday. Letts explained every child’s parenting plan has a unique system of transfers. “Some people devise their parenting plan so the transfer is at school, daycare or summer camp,” he said. Exasperated family law lawyers and overworked judges often end up prescribing exchanges in the parking lot of McDonald’s and Tim Hortons. The FPP feels parking lot exchanges are generally inhumane, traumatizing and embarrassing for children. Parenting plans can have a unique holiday system, as well. All major decisions shall be made jointly and no parent will proceed with a decision or delay a decision. Day-to-day decisions will be made by the parent with whom the child is with at the time. “It is a robust schedule,” said Letts. “Generally parents

on the schedule stay on it. It permits each household to have autonomy. “If the Monday and Tuesday parent wants his or her child to take piano lessons or soccer, he or she can book it without impacting the other parent’s schedule,” said Letts. Moreover, the schedule allows each parent to engage in their own endeavours. “We are putting people onto this schedule, but unfortunately parents are still running into problems,” stated Letts. “Our society is designed for intact families.” Just over 24 per cent of children are going to have their parents separate by age of 13. This does not include children born into single-family homes. Letts explained these children are at a high risk for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, dropping out of school, smoking, teen pregnancy, suicide and a life of crime. Ways to lower the risk include involvement in commu-

nity activities and team sports, avoiding exposure to parental conflict and a predictable and stable life. “Children are involved in community activities and team sports much less than children of intact families,” he noted. The Carleton Place community has a critical mass of children on the same parenting schedule. “We are now at the stage of talking to the school bus service for this September to alternate homes (for pick up),” said Letts. In a show of support and understanding, right now the Carleton Place Daycare will sell a half spot for a Monday and Tuesday parent or a Wednesday and Thursday parent (alternate Friday included). “If you are in Ottawa, you can’t purchase a half spot,” said Letts. Councillors Black, Jerry Flynn and mayor Wendy LeBlanc vocalized that this was a compliment to Carleton Place. “We are also beginning to

reach out to sports programs and other organizations to keep this parenting schedule in mind,” said Letts. “It will allow our children to become integrated into community activities.” Representatives for the FPP are asking council to keep an eye on the initiative, watching it grow. They are also asking council to make a motion to support the project. “Children thrive best when they have meaningful relationships with both of their parents,” said Letts. Coun. Rob Probert chaired the policy review committee meeting and thanked Letts for his informative presentation. “Eric, I commend you for developing this program,” said LeBlanc. “As a teacher I saw so many children and families being torn apart by this (separation and divorce). This is just remarkable.” The mayor offered kudos to Jacqueline Leach, director Carleton Place Daycare, for accommodating parents.

Notre Dame students turn grad prank into thank you breakfast for staff tables set up in the front foyer, staff members were attentively served by these wonderfully kind-hearted students. Personal cards signed by our graduates and addressed directly to each staff member were also handed out during the breakfast celebration. Students indicated that organizing this ‘thank’ event was so much easier to plan than any other ‘prank’ happening. The smiles and messages of gratitude on each staff member’s face was indicative of just how special this event was. The former tradition of ‘grad prank’ of previous years quickly becomes forgotten as no one likes to remember the negative. However, lucky ‘13’, the

Realtors Make a Difference for their Local Hospital T

he Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital (CDPMH) Foundation is delighted to announce that one of their loyal donors, John R. Southwell, has once again made a donation to the Hospital, and this time with the assistance and joint contribution of his wife, Giovanna Spezzano. The generous donation of $1,000 will be used to help purchase greatly needed patient care equipment at the Hospital.

Mr. Southwell, who was raised in Carleton Place, has been a long-time supporter of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. A local real estate agent since 1988, he often contributes a portion of his commissions to the Hospital. Ms. Spezzano started her real estate career in Ottawa in 2001 and moved to Carleton Place in 2004. The local amenities and access to health care in Carleton Place make it the ideal place for their family to call home. It is also for this reason that they have made the CPDMH Foundation their charity of choice as they want to ensure that the Hospital continues to provide high quality care for years to come. Giovanna Spezzano and John R. Southwell.

“I am very proud to do my part in supporting the Carleton Place Hospital,” says Mr. Southwell. “I know that the hospital receives funding from the Ministry of Health for the majority of its operating expenses; however the government rarely provides money for new equipment, equipment upgrades and equipment required to provide needed community programs,” continued Mr. Southwell. “I choose to support the hospital as often as possible because I want to make sure that the staff has the tools and equipment they need to provide the best quality of care possible to our community.”

“The continued success of the Foundation depends on the ongoing support of the members of our community like John R. Southwell and his wife Giovanna Spezzano,” stated Edith Addyman, President of the CPDMH Foundation. “We would like to thank them both for their generous and ongoing commitment to our organization.”

This year the CPDMH Foundation has a commitment to the hospital to raise $341,700 for needed patient care equipment alone. Each year, the Foundation also raises funds in addition to those needed for patient care This same charitable spirit of giving back to one’s community equipment which support staff education and also inspired Ms. Spezzano’s donation. She added that “It’s my training, a high school bursary, and various Standing in front of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital, John R.

EDITORIAL

Harper’s new-ish cabinet: Old wine in new bottles? EMC Editorial – One of the best quotes about Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet shuffle on Monday came not from the usual political pundits on Parliament Hill, but unintentionally from Canadian movie director Ivan Reitman. The Kindergarten Cop director, in a conversation with Maclean’s magazine, was asked about the long awaited Ghostbusters III. Interviewer Brian D. Johnson asked, “If they can reboot Star Trek, there’s no reason you can’t reboot Ghostbusters.” To this, Toronto-raised Reitman replied, “We’re not talking about rebooting it, because the original works just fine. It’s about whether there’s a whole other story to tell.” And therein lies the problem for Harper. Harper is planning another prorogation and a Throne Speech this fall. We’ve been down this road before – in fact, the prorogations are getting hard to discern from each other these days. Back in 2010, Harper said he needed to “recalibrate” his government with a prorogation. Now he faces a different situation. Now he has his longed-for majority government. But does he want to simply reboot his government, or start

telling a new story? Maybe a little more fiscal sanity, a little less going for the jugular. Maybe acting more like the adults are in charge, than ordering Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) interns to heckle Liberal leader Justin Trudeau or run ads with Trudeau taking his shirt off. Is this really the best use of their time? Already, the morning after the shuffle, came word from Global News that a “friend and enemy stakeholder,” list was included in the briefing books for new ministers. This is by no means the equivalent of Richard Nixon’s “enemies list,” but it is not common, and certainly somewhat creepy, to officially list someone as, essentially, an enemy of the state: but then, this is a government which has, essentially, blacklisted environmental groups. Certainly, some common courtesy – “Oh, make sure you steer clear of Bob in accounting, he really has a bad attitude,” – may save a new minister some headaches, but this taking it too far. But it certainly seems to feed into the attitude that the faces may have changed, but the story remains the same, just as the cast of Saturday Night Live changes every few years, but the basic premise

remains the same – musical guest, cold opening, celebrity guest’s opening monologue, Weekend Update, and one-joke sketches that seem to go on forever, and characters with catchphrases being groomed for the inevitable movie. And just as Lorne Michaels is, and always will, lead the show on air from 30 Rockefeller Center, so too does Harper fill the same role from 24 Sussex Drive. Now, over in Smiths Falls, their town hall is undergoing a review of how well it carries out its services, and if there is room for improvement, what things can be done more cheaply, or contracted out, and what is working just fine. On top of this, they will also look at what the objectives are, and are the way being done meeting those objectives? Let’s apply this to the Harper government. Is this the government you thought you’d get back on May 2, 2011? In fairness to Harper, even he admitted outside of Rideau Hall on Monday that “obviously, we’re always looking at ways we can continue to evolve to address new challenges and improve our performance.” Good to see a little humility. It is also very encouraging to see that Harper has appointed more women, and younger women at that, to cabinet. This is to be encouraged, and puts lie to the charge from the opposition – as witnessed by a 2008 election bumper sticker of Harper, claiming to women that ‘He’s just not that into you,’ – that Harper has something against women. But let’s be honest. Male or female, visible minority or not, the composition doesn’t matter so much as it does that they are all singing from the

same hymn book, so to speak. All governments adhere to cabinet solidarity – at least in public – and cabinet secrecy, but as last week’s editorial cartoon made abundantly clear, the direction, the talking points, everything, begins and ends with Harper. Ministers serve at his pleasure, and he believes that he is the only indispensible member of his government. Things will get interesting now in terms of how backbenchers will react to this news. For every renegade MP who has broken ranks to sit as an independent, or faced the wrath of the Tory front bench in pushing the speaker to allow them to speak without pre-approval from the PMO, they are now stewing in their offices, burning and seething in the knowledge that they did not make it into cabinet this time and, in all likelihood, will never make it into cabinet at this rate. So long as they don’t do anything foolish like vote against the budget, what’s the point of towing the party line? What’s the point of being there if, as more than one MP has said, you are just window dressing, reading off a bunch of talking points dictated to you by some trust fund baby half your age from the PMO? Harper will suddenly find it a lot harder to maintain party discipline amongst his backbenchers now that the dangling carrot of a cabinet post, or secretary position, has been yanked from right in front of them. Just as Conservative candidates shooting their mouth off partially imploded the Tory campaign in 2004 – hence part of the reason why Harper is so focused on staying on message – and just as loose cannon candidates for the Wildrose party in Alberta helped snatch defeat from the jaws of victory last year, Harper may find the 2015 federal vote his hardest yet.

DEAR EDITOR: I was certainly not happy with the deputy mayor’s misguided comments that were quoted in the newspaper. He stated, “We are in fact subsidizing the BIA for Market Square. We had thought we were getting more money from the BIA than we are getting.” There was a collective “no” from around the council table. I tried to correct him by saying that it was not a BIA building or project, they were a

partner in helping to raise the funds for the roof. The BIA contributed $10,000 toward the cost of the sign and are putting $70,000 towards the roof, which I felt was more than generous. Market Square is owned by the town and controlled by parks and recreation, a board that deputy mayor Sonnenburg sits on. I said that we were very fortunate that the BIA was paying upwards to half of the cost of the roof. So, the BIA actually saved the taxpayers $80,000.

Market Square is a huge asset to the town. So far it houses the farmers’ market on Saturday mornings, Cruise Night on Wednesday nights, and Music at Market Square on selected Tuesday and Thursday nights. Many other events will be added. We receive positive comments every day. It is fast becoming a people place. Gary Strike BIA council representative

Councillor congratulates Pakenham on Canada Day event DEAR EDITOR: In typical Pakenham fashion, the residents of Mississippi Mills and visitors were welcomed, fed, and entertained for the Canada Eve celebrations. From the main street which was overflowing with young and elderly in awe as the parade worked its way twice around the route, to the local entertainment in the Stewart Community Centre and the fireworks which lit up the entire sky one could feel ‘I Love You

COLUMN From page A/CP8

When I struck out on my own at 18 years of age, I decided to get a credit card with a low limit in case of emergencies. My bank was incredibly skeptical. They told me I would need a co-signer before they would approve one for me. Normally, I would not argue this point. I understand that the bank just wants to cover all their bases in case I did turn out to be terrible with my money. But my father, my only available co-signer, lives in B.C. Mailing documents out to him for him to sign and send back takes a lifetime and often the bank deems the documents invalid. So I asked the bank if there was any way of getting a card without a co-signer. Well, said the teller, we can set up an appointment with a personal banking officer and see if

Canada’ in the air. When the parade is required to slow down and get closer because it has taken up the full of two streets in the village, one knows it has been a success. This is demonstrated by all who attend, individuals who decorate and drive floats, bring in horses, large and small tractors, antique cars, decorated bicycles, walk a calf, play music, pipe bands, a very pregnant Princess Kate with her full contingent of attendants and the presence

of the Shriners, who with their various units always, add so very much enjoyment and pleasure to this special Canada Eve in Pakenham. Thank you to everyone for your continued support, contributions and being there, proving again there is something of interest in Pakenham anytime of the year.

we can work something out. So off I went to my appointment and after 10 minutes of talking to me and learning just a bit about my habits and goals, the woman decided to give me a card with a small limit. And since that day, almost four years ago, my credit limit has increased twice because they have never had a problem with me – the lady who trusted me never needed to regret her decision. It’s the same problem I’ve been experiencing with car shopping. Some salesmen have been treating me very well and are dealing with me like any customer, but others have been rude, condescending and just plain awful. One particular salesperson at an Ottawa-area dealership decided to give me a 15-minute lecture about how zero per cent financing rates are rarely what they seem, and if I thought he was

doing it out of genuine concern for my bank account I wouldn’t have minded. But my impression was that he was trying to make a sale with me by basically calling me naïve or even stupid. Like I hadn’t done my homework. It bothered me so much that now I will never buy a car from them, just out of principle. He also didn’t shake my hand when I offered it – but that’s a whole other matter. There are a list of other things that I have trouble doing or can’t do because of my age. I can’t even rent a car because I’m under 25 years old, which is problematic when your family lives on either coast of Canada and you plan to visit. I know that none of this skepticism is ever going to go away, at least until I’m older, but I wish some people would be a little less quick to judge a book by its relatively young cover.

GET YOUR CHOLESTEROL IN CHECK Reduce your fat intake to 20-35% of your daily calories.

Caring for staff, as well as patients and residents Almonte General Hospital’s vision is “to be recognized as the preferred centre of primary health, obstetrical care and long-term care, providing a Mary Wilson Trider continuum of excellent, efficient, integrated services and improving the Mary Wilson Trider health and quality of life of those we serve.” This vision statement also describes the characteristics of a preferred centre, one of which is “The workplace of choice for medical, healthcare and support staff.” Almonte General Hospital’s Board of Directors and leadership team understand that a component of providing high-quality care for patients and residents is a high-quality workplace for our staff. In fact, improving staff work life is one of the objectives of the organization’s publicly posted 2013-14 Quality Improvement Plan.

In the same way that it is important to hear from patients and residents about what we do well and where we can improve, quality improvement opportunities in the workplace are identified by feedback from the people who work at Almonte General Hospital, Fairview Manor and Lanark County Ambulance Service. Earlier this year, all employees were invited to participate in a staff engagement survey. A company called Talent Map administered the survey, which brought three valuable elements to the process: first, experience in developing and administering staff surveys; second, the ability for staff to respond anonymously, and; third, a database of other health care organizations against which we could benchmark our results to understand how we compare to others. Overall, we were pleased to see strong scores, both in absolute numbers and relative to the health care benchmark, for pride, personal accomplishment, optimism about the future and commitment to doing high-quality work.

Positive responses to a question about whether people would recommend our organization as a great place to work were nearly 140 per cent higher than the benchmark. We also heard from our staff that they see opportunities for improvement in our approach to learning and professional growth, communication and individual performance feedback. Teams have been formed in each division/ department to develop action plans to address opportunities unique to each area. A corporate team, with staff and managers from across the organization, will develop a plan to address organization-wide improvements. The Board of Directors will be monitoring progress against these plans as part of its commitment to a high-quality workplace for our employees. Mary Wilson Trider is the President and CEO of Almonte General Hospital

Above, six-year-old Bridget Rose Zavitske receives her cancer treatment at CHEO. Right, Bridget’s entire family is ecstatic to see her come home early.

Bridget’s Army is on the march By PATRICIA LEBOEUF pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC News – When six-year-old Bridget Rose Zavitske smiles, she lights up the room. It’s a contagious grin, belying her sweet and loving nature to those around her. She loves to dance, to draw, to play hockey and soccer. She loves animals of all types, her friends and the colour red. She just graduated senior kindergarten at Stonecrest Elementary School where her favorite subject is gym. And yet she manages to accomplish it all with Stage IV Wilm’s tumor. This cancer typically occurs in young children and affects the kidneys. It has cost Bridget her left kidney. It has also spread to her lungs and lymph nodes. It spread quickly. On June 17, the family rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s (CHEO) ER and three days and a whirlwind of tests later, Bridget was on the operating table. Two weeks after that, she started chemotherapy and radiation. “She has been pretty sick from that,” said her mother Christy McNeely Zavitske. “We are hoping the sickness doesn’t last. We hear the first few weeks of chemo are the worst.” Bridget doesn’t let her illness doesn’t define her. “A week from her surgery date she was at her soccer game cheering on her team,” said McNeely Zavitske. “I was stressing out making sure she sat still.” Her strength and tenacity has allowed her to return to her home in Dunrobin much sooner than doctors anticipated. This is to everybody’s relief. Her siblings, Maddy, 16, Stella, 7, and Miller, 2-and-a-half, were extremely concerned and were acutely anxious to see the youngest daughter home. They were overjoyed to have her back. The family is very close. “We come from very close families,” said McNee-

ly Zavitske. “My family is from Carleton Place and Dave’s (Bridget’s father) is from Renfrew.” This closeness has been demonstrated by their community’s unwavering support. Nicknamed Bridget’s Army, friends, family, random strangers and local businesses have come out of the woodwork to give their support. “I honestly can’t believe the support we have received from family, friends and total strangers,” said Bridget’s mother. They’ve organized a food drive, school and community groups have sent the family monetary gifts as well as presents for Bridget. Family friend Jennifer Facchin has created a team of runners, named Bridget’s Brigades, who will be running 100KM from Ottawa to Montebello for the Relay to End Kids Cancer on Oct. 5. Her goal is to raise $500 for national pediatric oncology research initiatives at CHEO. More initiatives are coming. “I have a group of friends who have started a group called Bridget’s Worker Bees,” said McNeely Zavitske. “They have some great ideas: an evening gala, a change and bottle drive, etc. “I’m hoping they can also donate money to local cancer organizations as I feel we have been so blessed with the amount of support we have been receiving,” she added. “Everyone is really working hard out there.” While Bridget was in the hospital she received hundreds and hundreds of emails and photos. Seeing all these kind words and pictures of friends kept her spirits up during the worst of it. “The gifts, and cards and flowers, from her school friends, dance school friends, family, old friends of ours, and complete strangers, really made her so happy,” said her mother.

Lack of hummingbirds noticed throughout the area

ing, and a Turkey Vulture circuled overhead. Had a nice chat with Terry Kotjila July 5. Doing a regular run along the boardwalk off McNeely Avenue in Carleton Place, Terry heard several warblers. The water was very high. She spotted either an Osprey or a Bald Eagle there. At her home, in Mississippi Mills, Eastern Phoebes are nesting. Their first nest had three to four

eggs, and these were destroyed. The Phoebe nested again, laid four eggs, and this second brood are 10 to 11-days-old now. An American Robin had a nest with four eggs, and they have survived. Terry mentioned a lack of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds being seen, and I have noted this lack at our place. Is anyone else noticing this trend? Terry has two male Scarlet Tanagers, and

has now seen a female Tanager. Hopefully, they are nesting on her property. Georgina Doe, birding on the path behind the arena in Carleton Place, on Canada Day, and observed an Osprey and an Indigo Bunting. As well, she took a picture of a small passerine, either a sparrow or a flycatcher, and was uncertain of its identification. She will send the picture to one of our local experts for species identification. Up in Pakenham ward, Ray Holland was birding on Pakenham Ski Hill Road, and spotted a Black-billed Cuckoo. A good reward, for often these birds are hard to find. Please call Lynda Bennett at 613-256-5013 or email bennett@ magma.ca with your bird reports.

EMC Lifestyle – Looking over Mississippi River from Mark’s Lookout, July 9, four Common Loons swam near the fairgrounds. Then from the shore, two Great Blue Herons flew down the River towards Appleton. Two Song Sparrows were very vocal, and one Northern Cardinal sang from nearby shrubs. Suddenly, a female cardinal came and sat on the lookout fence. Two days before, some members of the Mississippi Valley Fields Naturalists went on a canoe trip on Long Lake.

Local health unit issues another heat alert for tri-county area

During a heat alert, the public is strongly encouraged to check on a neighbour or a friend who may have a greater risk of suffering negative health consequences from the heat and humidity. During very hot weather, everyone should take the following precautions: • Do not leave children, adults or pets in parked cars or sleeping outside in direct sunlight. • Consult your doctor or pharmacist regarding the side effects of your medications. • Drink plenty of water and 100 per cent fruit juices throughout the day, even if you don’t feel very thirsty. Remember to take sips often

and not to guzzle your drink. rapid breathing • Eat foods that have high • Severe headache or conwater content such as water- fusion melon, grapes and oranges. • Convulsion • Avoid drinking alcoholic • Fever beverages, coffee and cola. • Avoid going out in the blazing sun or heat when possible. If you must go outside, stay in the shade as much as possible. Plan any necessary outdoor activities in early morning or evening. • Whenever possible go to an air-conditioned room or building, including shopping malls and libraries. • Wear loose fitting, light clothing and a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors. • Keep window shades or drapes drawn and blinds closed on the sunny side of your home. • Keep electric lights off or turned down low. • Take a cool bath or shower periodically or cool down with cool, wet towels. • Visit a local pool or beach – check for postings (http:// www.healthunit.org/water/ test/beach_results.htm). • Avoid eating heavy meals and using your oven. • Use fans to draw cool air at night, but do not rely on a fan as a main cooling device during long periods of high heat and humidity. • Reduce the use of personal vehicles, stop unnecessary idling; avoid using oil-based paints and glues, pesticides and gas-powered small engines.

Thomas (Tom) Cairns

On July 1, 2013, at the age of 94 Tom passed away surrounded by loving family at the Perth Hospital. He went to join Connie, his beloved wife of 70 years where no doubt they are once again “dancin’ the light fandango.” Left to cherish his memory are his daughter Pat Cairns (Marnie Dickinson) and their son Carl of Perth and sons Tom (Susan) of Cowichan Bay, BC and Bob (Maria) of Calendar, Ont. and their children Laura and Bob Jr. Tom was recently predeceased by his grandson Theo of Cowichan Bay, BC. Tom will be greatly missed by his family, friends, fellow music lovers and local business people who he dropped in on regularly. He had a smile for everyone he met and people knew him to be a kind and gentle soul. Tom and Connie were to be seen at most every music event in Perth always tapping the rhythm and singing along. The Stewart Park Festival will not be the same this year without them. In retirement Tom loved salvaging and repairing the unfixable and puttering in the workshop. Winters were spent in Florida, Bermuda and BC. He enjoyed assisting his Perth neighbours and was called upon to use his precise lettering skills that he developed during his 40 years at DeHavilland Aircraft as a draftsman. Family life was Tom’s greatest priority and leisure time was spent with his wife and children on picnics, coast to coast camping trips and Sunday drives. His hobbies included the raising of rabbits and carrier pigeons and woodworking. Our Dad was an exceptional Dad, always placing us first. He was a great role model and a hard act to follow. Family and close friends will gather to honour Tom privately. Flowers are graciously declined. Memorial donations can be made to the Stewart Park Music Festival or the Perth Hospital, Great War Memorial site.

DAVISON V. Malcolm (Mac) Beloved husband to Betty (Trotter) Davison for 64 years. Peacefully on June 14, 2013 at Kingston General Hospital at the age of 86. Suddenly as a result of a stroke; Mac and his family received excellent care and support from the KGH staff. Born at home in Philipsville on February 4, 1927. Mac was pre-deceased by his parents, Hilyerd Davison and Mabel (Howard) Davison, of Philipsville, and a brother Howard Davison of Toronto. Mac was raised on the Davison farm in Philipsville and educated in Philipsville and Elgin. In 1946 Mac left home to see some of Canada. He ventured out west where he worked on a family farm in Coronation, Alberta. He then worked for Ontario Hydro from 1947 to 1949 laying tower lines all over the province of Ontario. Mac returned to Philipsville in 1949 and married his wife Betty - they lived and worked for a few months in Pembroke before coming home to take over the family farm in Philipsville. Mac was a full-time, hard-working dairy farmer for many years. As well as running the dairy farm, Mac ran a sugar bush each spring. In the summers Mac worked construction for a number of years. During the war years and as a young father in the 1950’s, Mac found time to play ball and hockey. He especially enjoyed baseball and caught and played 2nd base for the Chantry team, many exciting games occurred against teams from Jasper, Eastons Corners, Frankville and Toledo! Mac was a jack of all trades who loved working and was adaptable to any work situation. In 1968 Mac joined the County of Leeds and Grenville - he worked for the County for 22 years retiring at the age of 63. Mac and his colleagues had many exciting adventures plowing snow during raging snowstorms. There are very few roads in the County that Mac has not driven or plowed! Mac was always moving and lived by the “work before play� adage. His energy and passion for life continued throughout his retired life. He was an active member of the Delta Mill Society, Honourary Director Delta Fair Board, and the Elgin United Church. In his later years Mac indulged in his love of genealogy and history. His spent many hours sorting and researching documents about his family and community and volunteering at the Heritage Society of Bastard and South Burgess. Mac was very proud that his mother’s memoirs were published by the Heritage Society in May 2013, just a few weeks before his sudden passing. Mac is best remembered for his love of family, his friendliness, his sense of humour, amusing stories and love of sports. He loved nothing more than to be out dancing with Betty, enjoying family celebrations, talking with his many friends, or attending his grandchildrens’ many hockey and ball games, graduations and special events. Mac is survived by his wife Betty (Trotter) Davison. They were married in Philipsville on June 25, 1949. Mac is survived by 6 children. 12 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Carol (Jim) Olson (Adrienne and Alison) of Oshawa, Gayle (John) Turcotte (Crystal and Melanie) of Smiths Falls, Jim (Jennifer) Davison (Cale, Tyler and Tara) of Westerose, Alberta, Guy (Cathy) Davison (Ben and Alex) of Westport, Jill Ready (John Bell) (Cody) of Elgin and Pat (Tom) Morell (Justin and Samantha) of Rideau Ferry. Survived by one sister, Margaret McNally. Mac lived his Christian values each day as is shown in his devotion to his family and his community. His was a life “well-lived�. His family is grateful for a loving husband who was devoted to his wife, for a caring, supportive father who was always there for his children and for a “fun�, hilarious grandfather.

Gordon O’Connor won’t speak to retirement speculation By DEREK DUNN ddunn1@metroland.com

EMC News – There is talk on Parliament Hill of Gordon O’Connor’s future both in cabinet and in electoral politics, but he isn’t commenting on any of it. Prime Minister Stephen Harper shuffled his cabinet earlier this week in a bid to rejuvenate the party and bolster slumping poll numbers. O’Connor was one of those left out of cabinet and is now former Minister of State and Chief Government Whip. One reason offered is that he may not seek re-election; therefore the timing is ripe to bring greater exposure to another caucus member. The Carleton-Mississippi Mills Member of Parliament was first elected in 2004, so with more than eight years under his belt he qualifies for the lucrative MP pension plan. He is also 74 years old. But according to one long-time supporter, city councillor Allan Hubley, O’Connor

wouldn’t step down because of his age. “He’s probably in better shape than most 50 year olds,” Hubley said. “Ever since he’s been elected there’s been talk of him resigning. As far as I know, Gordon has every intention of running again in 2015.” Hubley is well-connected in Conservative party circles. As a long-time, high-profile resident of the riding, he would be the logical successor as party candidate in the next election. While Hubley wouldn’t outright deny the possibility of running federally, he said the timing isn’t great and he intends to run again municipally. The municipal election is in 2014; the federal in 2015. “I’m not sure that day is close,” Hubley said, adding. “I’ll listen to what the residents tell me. I’m there to serve them.” A second reason O’Connor now finds himself out of cabinet has to do with party control. Known as the most secretive and rigorously-controlled

government in recent history, backbencher discipline is doled out by the party whip. O’Connor is believed to have overstepped his bounds on more than one occasion. For Harper to quell a party revolt, he may had to have cut O’Connor loose. Karen McCrimmon is the Liberal candidate in the next local election. The recent Liberal leadership candidate has heard nothing of O’Connor’s situation and was surprised to hear Hubley’s name associated with the party. She often says she won’t speak negatively about opponents, but doesn’t profess to be the sitting MP’s fan. “He’s done the job to the best of his abilities, and done what he’s thought is right,” she said. “I don’t agree with him. But he has always worked hard. It’s a tough job being the whip.” She wouldn’t say the Conservative party has curtailed free speech among members. But as for openness and transparency when it comes to spending, she said the party could

EMC News – Anne Fergusson, 17, of Carleton Place, is back from The War Amps 2013 Ontario Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Burlington. The seminar brought together child amputees from across the province while also honouring the association’s 95th anniversary. Born missing her left hand, Fergusson attended the three-day seminar, which included sessions on the latest developments in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child. The opening session paid trib-

ute to the long history of The War Amps, and its continuing legacy of “amputees helping amputees.” A highlight at the seminar was the Amputees in Action session, where Champs demonstrated their standard and recreational artificial limbs and devices to the group. Fergusson showed her ski device. Younger Champs also had the opportunity to interact with each other at the “Play and Learn” session, while their parents exchanged tips and shared experiences. Fergusson was a junior counsel-

lor to the younger Champs, acting as a role model and offering advice. She was also presented with a CHAMP Ambassador Certificate for her dedication to commemorating and preserving Canada’s military heritage through The War Amps Operation Legacy. CHAMP is funded solely through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1-800250-3030 or visit www.waramps. ca.

$90,000 cheque to Senator Mike Duffy. Many observers say when chief of staff Nigel Wright and a few others in the prime minister’s office discussed handing the money over – as was revealed days ago by RCMP – it is unlikely Harper wouldn’t have known. If O’Connor does resign, a third reason may have to do with avoiding the mounting scandals the party finds itself embroiled in. O’Connor was given an opportunity to respond without a deadline, but declined.

come much closer to the promise it made while in opposition. As far as meeting Hubley in an election, McCrimmon indicated that her skills at the national and international level would make up for his advantages at the constituency. And that her party’s consensusbuilding approach is better than the Conservatives’ divide and conquer. O’Connor is on record defending Harper’s position on the WrightDuffy scandal. He believed a few weeks ago that the prime minister didn’t know anything about the

EMC News – The Middleville & District Museum’s new wing officially opened June 23 and showcased for the first time, its full collection of local historical artifacts thanks in part to a $100,200 Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) grant. Joining the ribbon cutting ceremony were representatives of Lanark County, the Township of Lanark Highlands, OTF representative Gordon Munroe and museum enthusiasts. “With the help of a generous Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, the new expansion to the Middleville & District Museum provides an improved opportunity for visitors to view some of the many historic displays and artifacts the museum has to offer. The great efforts of the community of dedicated volunteers who helped make this expansion possible are a testimony to the value of perseverance and commitment,” stated Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington. “The opening of the new wing has made an extraordinary difference to what the museum offers the community. The OTF grant, plus endless hours of work by talented and dedicated volunteers, has made the museum’s transformation possible,” added curator Alice Borrowman. Set in an 1861 two-storey stone schoolhouse, this unique, all-volunteer museum exhibits treasures from our local area that illustrate the working and domestic life of days past; celebrates the region’s pioneer history; and archives genealogical documents and family records. The Township of Lanark Highlands supports the development of its cultural assets and museums, including the Middleville & District Museum. A leading grant-maker in Canada, the Ontario Trillium Foundation strengthens the capacity of the voluntary sector through investments in communitybased initiatives. An agency of the Government of Ontario, OTF builds healthy and vibrant communities. For more information about the Middleville & District Museum, visit http://middlevillemuseum.blogspot.ca/.

Athletes triumphed over scorching heat at Graham Beasley races July 14 By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

EMC Sports – The scorching heat of Sunday, July 14 was no match for the enthusiasm and drive of the athletes who took part in the various Graham Beasley triathlon and duathlon races held that morning. Sweat poured down the faces, legs, arms and torsos of each and every participant as they huffed and puffed past spectators and fought the stifling heat of the day. Triathletes who began their races in the water were drying quickly in the blaring sun, but soon found themselves soaked once again in almost no time. Still, hundreds of competitors triumphed over the less than ideal conditions, paying a great tribute to the 19th annual event’s namesake, the late Ottawa duathlete Graham Beasley. The Graham Beasley races are arranged by Somersault events each year in Carleton Place and, true to Somersault’s motto, there are events for everyone at every skill level. Various races take place simultaneously during the Graham Beasley event: 5Ks, 10Ks, sprint and Olympic distance triathlons and duathlons; there was even a short 1K race for ambitious children. The day started off with the

usual hustle and bustle of prerace athletes. Race bibs were attached to T-shirts and belts; numbers were drawn onto the bodies of duathletes and triathletes; wetsuits were zipped up and the best transition-zone spots were snatched up. Athletes and spectators gathered around the bank of the Mississippi River at Centennial Park, where the first races – Olympic distance triathlons – would begin at 8:45 a.m. As the first wave of swimmers took off, battling the strong current of the river, one spectator said, “I’m almost jealous of them. At least they’re out of the heat.” Still, a large crowd of people remained in the sun to cheer on the swimmers as they emerged from the water, sprinting to the transition zone to grab their bicycles. This was the spirit throughout the day. Spectators lined the streets near the race courses, standing in the hot sun and cheering on athletes as they passed by. Cheers and smiles were perhaps the biggest when a swarm of young children, 10-years-old or younger, sprinted by during their 1K race, giving their accompanying parents a run for their money. As each athlete crossed the finish line after battling through

20, 30, 60 or more minutes of intense cardio they received a finisher’s medal, a banana or bagel and a well-deserved drink of cold water. Smiles were big on many athletes’ faces as they were greeted by family and friends shouting congratulations and praise for overcoming the obstacles they had faced. One overheard finisher said, around gasps of breath but with a huge grin, “Conditions were less than ideal and brutally hot, but I did it anyway.”

Athletes at the Graham Beasley races July 14 triumphed over the blaring heat of the day, finishing triathlons, duathlons or running races. Above, runners start strong as they begin their 5K or 10K races, not yet covered in the sweat that came along with the heat of the day.

Sudbury Saturday Night in Beckwith July 20 as Invaders host Spartans EMC Sports – The Ottawa Invaders are heading into their final regular season home game at Beckwith Field on a roll. The Invaders defeated the TriCity Outlaws 34-0 at the University of Waterloo last weekend. It marked the first time the Invaders had ever blanked the 2011 national champions. The win was also sweet for the Invaders, as the Outlaws had defeated Ottawa 12-11 on the same field to win the 2011 Northern Football Conference championship before moving on to the Canadian Major Football League final.

The Invaders, who sit in second place in the Northern Football Conference East Division, host the Sudbury Spartans at Beckwith Field this Saturday, July 20, with a 7 p.m. kick off. A win in Beckwith, followed by a win on the road over the winless Oakville Longhorns, will give the Invaders home field advantage for the opening round of the NFC playoffs in August. Against the Outlaws, Andrew Foss caught a pair of touchdown passes and the defence came up big again as the Ottawa Invaders defeated the Tri-City Invaders

34-0 at the University of Waterloo’s Warrior Stadium Saturday night. Foss opened the scoring after the Invaders drove the ball inside the Tri-City 10-yard line on their opening drive. Quarterback Jeff Hildreth hit the NFC receptions leader in the end zone for his first touchdown of the game. Jeff Morris added the extra point to give Ottawa a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, Morris pinned the Outlaws inside their 10-yard line with a coffin corner punt out of bounds, and the Invaders’ defence forced a turnover that

set up Adam Gourgon’s five-yard touchdown run. Morris added the convert to make the score 14-0. Foss scored on the next Invaders possession as he caught a pass from Leith Fisken, who took over at quarterback from Hildreth in the second quarter, and then broke three tackles en route to a long touchdown pass-and-run play. Morris added the extra point to make the score 21-0. The Outlaws mounted one impressive drive late in the second quarter behind some hard-nosed running by Kris Kusch. On the last play of the half, the Invaders

stopped Kusch at the goal line to preserve the shutout and the 21-0 lead. The Invaders opened the second half with a big play as Ray Alidu caught an onside kick off return and returned it for the first kick-off return touchdown in Invaders history. Fisken attempted a pass for the two-point convert on a broken play, but his pass was incomplete and the score remained 27-0. The Invaders defence, meanwhile, put together a strong half. Rob McCormick and Max Lepage made big tackles up front, and

defensive back Erik Faucon registered a pair of sacks. Linebackers Michel Lacelle and Mike Lafond made a number of big tackles, and safety Alvan Umba made a couple of huge hits for the Invaders. Late in the game, with rookie Matt McEwan seeing his first action at quarterback for the Invaders, fullback Kory Camp took a hand-off and rumbled into the end zone. Morris added the extra point to make the final score 34-0.The Invaders improved their record to 4-2 with the win, with both losses coming to first place Montreal.

Lanark County Food Bank holds open house to celebrate 25th anniversary EMC News – On June 9, the Lanark County Food Bank held an open house to commemorate its 25th year of serving the community. Several volunteers from the food bank greeted visitors as they arrived and were given a tour of the facility and an explanation of how the food bank operates on a typical busy day. Various local officials attended the open house including; Scott Reid MP for Lanark-Frontenac-

Lennox and Addington, Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc, and councillor Jerry Flynn. During the open house, Hali Crawford and Kathleen Fernandes of Carleton Place made a special visit with a donation of more than 40 lbs. of food. The girls canvassed their neighborhood and collected these much needed items for the food bank. Their thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated. The food bank would like to

thank Starbucks for providing complimentary coffee to visitors and Paul Chamberlain, one of our dedicated volunteers for supplying fruit punch. The Lanark County Food Bank has reached a special mile-

stone this year by providing 25 years of service to the community. This would not have been possible without the strong support of our local businesses, churches, schools and community in general. We would like to take this op-

portunity to thank all those who have supported our organization over the years. It is also important to mention that without the dedicated work of our many volunteers, it would not be possible run such a suc-

cessful food bank. The Lanark County Food Bank is located at 5 Allan St. in Carleton Place and we can be reached at 613-257-8546. Submitted by the Lanark County Food Bank.

YARD OF THE WEEK

R0012216899_0718

EMC Sports – The Carleton Place Canoe Club (CPCC) has plenty to be proud of, in addition to being the oldest, continually operating club in the country. Last Tuesday night, July 9, to celebrate its recent successes, the club held a well-attended spaghetti supper with all the trimmings (Caesar salad, garlic bread and dessert). Ryan Blair, CPCC head coach, welcomed one and all, including members of the national junior women’s kayak team: Arianne Cyr, Anna Hetzler, Ailish McNulty, Hayley Nelson and Madeline Schmidt. He explained the five athletes are training in Carleton Place over the next three weeks, preparing for the 2013 Junior and Under 23 Canoe Sprint World Championships in Welland, Ont., Aug. 1 to 4. Schmidt is with the Rideau Canoe Club (Ottawa), Hetzler and Nelson belong to the Cheema Aquatic Club (Waverley, N.S.), Cyr is a member of Le Club de Canoë-Kayak Lac-Beauport (Lac Beauport, Que.) and the Mic Mac Amateur Aquatic Club (Dartmouth, N.S.) is home to McNulty. Dedicated and working exceptionally hard, the female paddlers (under 18) are combining land and water training. Not only are they on the Mississippi River two to three times daily, the CPCC’s weight room assists with strength and conditioning. “If you see them on the start line, challenge them,” said Blair, speaking to the younger CPCC members at the supper.

Other guests at the spaghetti supper included mayor Wendy LeBlanc and councillors Doug Black, Jerry Flynn, Rob Probert and Gary Strike. LeBlanc presented the members of the national team with a Town of Carleton Place bag filled with a number of goodies. Located on the shores of the Mississippi River, the club has been in existence since 1893.

Pictured: (back row, from left) councillors Rob Probert, Doug Black and Jerry Flynn, Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, (front row, from left) CPCC head coach Ryan Blair, Madeline Schmidt, Anna Hetzler, Arianne Cyr, Ailish McNulty and CPCC commodore Bonnie Mosher. “Off the water, ask questions, use their expertise. I am hopeful this will be you in a couple of years.” During Blair’s career, he has instructed multiple athletes in the sport of canoe/ kayak – at provincial, national and international championships. He joined the CPCC in 2009. His coaching philosophy: “Everyone can be successful.” The Italian feast was also an opportunity for the club to celebrate its athletes who made the 2013 Canada Games Team. They are Scott Barclay (men’s kayak) and Natalie Davison (women’s kayak). Cia Myles-Gonzales (women’s canoe) is a spare. The Games are in Sherbrooke, Que.

They run from Aug. 2 to 17; however, canoe-kayak competitions commence Aug. 12. Myles-Gonzales recently returned home after competing at the 2013 Lake Placid International Regatta, July 6 and 7. Also competing next month in Welland is CPCC member Jacob Sosna (men’s kayak – U23). The Welland International Flatwater Centre, a top-notch, fully accessible, international competition venue, hosted the second set of the 2013 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Team Trials, June 21 to 23. “Jacob qualified on this course,” said Blair.

Leacock Tours retirement party raises more than $2,000 for Canadian Cancer Society By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – More than 300 clients, supporters and family members gathered June 29 to wish Mary Lou Leacock a happy retirement and show their generosity towards the Canadian Cancer Society. Leacock held a retirement party at the Toledo Royal Canadian Legion, which featured music, courtesy of Dennis Whitteker and his band, This Old Heart and Country Music, as well as dancing. Leacock recently closed her Jasper business, Leacock Tours, after 40 years in operation, offering people group air and bus trips to destinations around the world. Failing eyesight and recent cancer surgery forced the 87-year-old to close up shop. Friend Norine Morrison decorated the legion hall and arranged a special memory room, complete with photo and guest books and mementos from Leacock’s countless trips, for guests to peruse. The 30 albums stretched from 1973, when the business was established, all the way up to 2013 (with photos from everywhere from China, Africa, all over Europe, Australia and local trips, Leacock said). Shirley MacDonald prepared two large, decorated cakes for the occasion and a luncheon was also served to visitors. Daughter Eleanor Renaud, a councillor with the Township of ElizabethtownKitley, took the opportunity to present her mother with a certificate of achievement for 40 years in business on behalf of the municipality. Leacock was pleased to see so many former clients, friends and colleagues attend the party, including Frank Healey, owner of Healey Transportation. “We have done a lot of business over the years and his mom (Donna) Throughout the afternoon event, was the one that really encouraged me when I started (my business),” those who dropped in also made several Leacock said. “I was really pleased donations to the cancer society, which amounted to $2,359.65 raised.

Clark proud of Ontario PC plan to fight hunger with local food EMC News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is welcoming a PC Caucus amendment to the Local Food Act that would provide a tax credit to farmers who donate their products to their local food bank. Clark was at a Queen’s Park press conference recently where it was announced the PCs are putting forward the amendment, modeled on SarniaLambton MPP Bob Bailey’s private member’s bill Fighting Hunger with Local Food Act. MPP Bailey made the announcement along with Ontario PC Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Critic Ernie Hardeman (Oxford). “The agricultural community and food banks in Leeds-Grenville have been strong supporters of this tax credit, which will ensure local families have better access to fresh, highquality Ontario food,” said Clark. “I’m pleased that we’ve brought this amendment forward and I’m hopeful the government will support it because it will make a big difference to families in my riding and across Ontario.” The proposed amendment would grant a non-refundable tax credit worth 25 per cent of the wholesale value to farmers who choose to donate their excess agricultural products to local food banks. It would also allow unused tax credits to be carried forward for up to five years. Clark noted while food banks are struggling to meet demand, every year in Ontario some 25 million pounds of fresh, quality produce is ploughed back into fields by farmers. Often, the produce was rejected by grocers for

cosmetic reasons such as size, shape or colour. “Farmers have no other option than to plough it under because of the cost involved in collecting, processing and delivering it to a food bank,” explained Clark. “Our proposed amendment to the Local Food Act would change that scenario by making use of this nutritious produce.” Among the local food banks that have expressed support for MPP Bailey’s private member’s bill is Food For All, which serves South Grenville residents. In a letter to MPP Bailey, Food For All executive director Bonnie Gommert wrote: “On behalf of the Food For All Food Bank, we would like to thank you for your efforts in introducing Fighting Hunger with Local Food.” The tax credit amendment is one of the proposed improvements the Ontario PC Caucus has brought forward to strengthen the government’s Local Food Act. Earlier this year, Clark welcomed an amendment to increase food literacy among Ontarians by requiring food education as a mandatory component of instruction for pupils in every grade. “Local food is an important issue for consumers and producers in Leeds-Grenville,” said Clark. “I’m determined to ensure the Local Food Act is comprehensive enough to fix the problems farmers and our food sector face in putting more local food on people’s plates.” Submitted by the office of LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

But my technician said it would be covered an oil leak for example. To understand how this relatively simply request can go off the rails, it’s necessary to take a look behind the scenes. First, some dealership service personnel take it personally when a customer opts to have their routine maintenance work done by another garage, and no matter how professional or experienced they are, these feelings can ruin the broth of a client transaction. Some of you may remember how comedian Jerry Seinfeld made this look very funny in the episode where his technician kidnapped Jerry’s car after he questioned an estimate and wanted to take it to another shop for a second opinion. Secondly some independent technicians may not be completely conversant in a particular carmaker’s warranty terms. For example, suspension or steering joints may exhibit play or looseness, but may be within the manufacturer’s specs and therefore not a warrantable repair. Some warranties require a physical oil leak or drip to exist before repairs are authorized and a damp gasket or some fluid ‘sweat’ isn’t considered reason for action. Misunderstandings like this can escalate to arguments when a dealership completes an inspection, cannot find a warrantable condition, and then presents their customer with an invoice for the technician’s time. But any auto

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

manufacturer will tell you that regardless of where a vehicle is serviced, the warranty, as outlined in the owner’s handbook, still applies. So to make things easier for everyone, here are a few tips when dealing with this situation. • If your independent tech brings something to your attention that he or she thinks may be covered under a manufacturer warranty or recall, get some specifics. If something is loose: how loose is it? Which specific component? If something is causing a noise: why? If something is leaking: which fluid? Is it dripping or just sweating? Ask for a written report to eliminate the risk of forgetting something or referring to the wrong side or end of the vehicle when returning to your dealership service counter. • When communicating with your dealership, provide as much information as possible. For example, rather than ask them to diagnose a noise, tell them your private technician has identified a fault with component ‘A’ or part ‘B’. Ask them up front what their policy is for inspections that don’t lead to a warrantable repair.

Whether or not you choose to risk your money (on inspection charges) depends on how much you trust the opinion of your own tech. Some inspections require little time (and therefore small fees) whereas some jobs may involve multiple road-tests and/ or special equipment and at city shop rates that exceed $100/hour; it’s good to know where you stand before things get started. • Dealers get paid by their manufacturers to complete warranty repairs and in some cases they are reimbursed at their retail labour rate with a healthy mark-up allowed on parts. Some techs may complain that the time allowances carmakers list for certain jobs are rather thin, but overall, completing warranty repairs is a profitable business for the retailer.

EMC Lifestyle – A common situation that arises at dealership service/parts counters every day has a variety of approaches and the results can vary from great to dismal, depending on how things are communicated and unlike the old adage: a little knowledge can be a very good thing. Many vehicle owners are happy to have their vehicles serviced by their authorized dealerships and some prefer to stick with an independent garage or national/ regional chain for reasons of trust, price, comfort and convenience to name a few. A good service provider, regardless of the shingle hanging at their front door, will always do their best to ensure their customers have worry-free driving. To this end it’s a common practice for technicians to perform a general inspection anytime a vehicle is in for routine maintenance in order to spot and bring to the owner’s attention, anything that’s amiss and requires attention. On newer vehicles, good service consultants will always keep in mind the vehicle manufacturer warranty as it may cover the costs of parts and labour for a particular repair or replacement due to a warrantable defect in workmanship or materials. So it’s not uncommon for a vehicle owner to end up at his or her dealership’s service desk with a recommendation from an independent garage to replace a tie rod end, or repair

Be mindful of your pet’s condition during hot and humid weather By LORI CLARKSON

EMC Lifestyle – We have certainly found the “Dog days of summer” with all this heat and humidity! It’s a great time of the year in Lanark County and hopefully everyone is having a safe and happy summer so far. More hot and humid weather is expected in the region over the next couple of days. When the sun is shining it may be tempting to get out for some summer fun with your pet but the risk of heatstroke is a real danger everyone should be aware of. Many people are already aware that the car can be a very dangerous place if a pet is left alone for even a very short period of time. Less obvious are the dangers of overexertion during hot, and particularly, humid weather. Dogs don’t sweat like humans do. The main way they cool down is by panting which isn’t the easiest way to cool off in the first place, and it is much more difficult in humid weather, as there is very little evaporation. On a hot day, the time between having fun and heatstroke can be very short. The time is even shorter in the high humidity. The activity doesn’t have to be strenuous either since dogs just aren’t built to cool off like humans are. Heatstroke can happen much quicker than expected, especially for the “flat-faced, short-nosed” breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, and Pekingese which are called brachycephalic breeds. They are most at risk for heatstroke from high temperatures and overexertion due to their anatomy which can impede air flow and reduce the effectiveness of panting even more. And don’t assume that your pet will know when to slow down; by the time they finally do stop to lay down, it may be because they physically can’t go on any more. Watch your pet for signs of tiring and too much panting. The panting tongue out too far will indicate break time. The same advice for humans applies to pets as well; exercise in the early morning and late

Can’t beat giant robots battling giant monsters on big screen MOVIE: Pacific Rim STARRING: Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman, and Ron Pearlman DIRECTOR: Guillermo del Toro EMC Entertainment - Pacific Rim could have used the silliest, most farfetched premise imaginable, and I still would have watched it. I would have watched it because it has giant robots fighting giant monsters, and giant robots fighting giant monsters is awesome. Though it seems completely unnecessary there is a plot. Giant alien monsters called kaiju start coming out of an inter-dimensional breech in the Pacific Ocean. The first takes six days to kill and destroy three cities. The world then bands together, and builds giant robots called jaegers to fight them. The jaegers are incredible war machines, but due to their sheer size and complexity it takes two pilots with their minds linked to operate them. The war rages for years, and the jaegers seem to turn the tide, but the kaiju kept coming. They get bigger, stronger, and more dangerous. Then they start to come through the breech more frequently, and begin to overwhelm the jaegers. Now the last four jaegers are going to make one last run to try and close

My Take MARK HASKINS

the breech. The problem is one of the jaegers, Gypsy Danger, needs a pilot. Marshal Pentecost (Idris Elba), the man in charge of the jaegers, knows just the guy. Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) was one of the original pilots of Gypsy Danger along with his brother. Then his brother was killed in action, and Raleigh walked away from the program. With the fate of the world in the balance Raleigh agrees to go back, but without his brother he has to train a new partner. Enter Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). She’s skilled, eager and a perfect match for Raleigh. She’s also never been in a real jaeger, and has her own emotional issues. Who said saving the world would be easy? I can’t be believe they bothered with as much story and character development as they did. I get it. Your character has deep emotional scars, and is highly motivated to kill kaiju. I just don’t care. I want less talk and more giant robot-fighting-giant-mon-

ster action. After all the giant robot fighting giant monster action is awesome. These effects are worth seeing, and worth seeing on the big screen. They were so mind blowing I didn’t mind overlooking the film’s weak (and occasionally wrong) attempts at explaining plot points with ‘science’. I actually like the cast. Charlie Hun-

nam and Rinko Kikuchi have good chemistry, do some cool martial arts, and look like they know how to pilot a giant robot. Idris Elba is a fantastic actor and just the person to deliver the obligatory inspirational speech. Charlie Day and Burn Gorman play the token scientists and provide quality comic relief along with Ron Pearl-

man who’s outstanding as underworld kingpin Hannibal Chau. Pacific Rim is what summer blockbusters are all about. Massive spectacles with jaw dropping effects, larger than life story lines, and giant robots fighting giant monsters. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Emergency Preparedness Shelter in Place “Shelter-in-place” means to take immediate shelter where you are—at home, work, school, or in between. It may also mean “seal the room;” in other words, take steps to prevent outside air from coming in. This is because local authorities may instruct you to “shelter-in-place” if chemical or radiological contaminants are released into the environment. It is important to listen to TV or radio to understand whether the authorities wish you to merely remain indoors or to take additional steps to protect yourself and your family. Close and lock all windows and exterior doors. If there’s a danger of an explosion, close all windows, covering (shades, blinds, curtains etc.), turn off all fans, close vents for heating and air conditioning systems and fire places.

EMC Lifestyle – James Dean drove a black 1949 Mercury coupe with wide whitewalls, dual exhausts and fender skirts in the Hollywood classic, “Rebel Without a Cause.” Ever since that movie was released in 1954, the 1949-51 Mercurys have probably been customized more than any other make or model, with many of them rendered identical to the one driven by James Dean. A more recent movie, “Cars,” inspired the transformation of the 1949 Mercury coupe owned by Dale McNinch of Tillsonburg, Ont. He writes: “Hi Bill, I was looking through a copy of the ‘Old Car Trader’ in 1983. In it was advertised a 1949 Mercury coupe for $500. I called Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and talked with the man who owned it. “He said: ‘I go farm to farm buying scrap. At this one farm, they asked if I take whole cars. I said yes and they took me to the barn. In it was this 1949 Mercury. The kids had been jumping off the hay mow onto the roof. It had 1962 Saskatchewan plates. They also gave me a 1951 Merc front end with rounded hood corners and frenched headlights.’ “We made a deal and I sent him $500. Two weeks later, I had extra holiday time so I took my 12-yearold son in our 1969 Blazer and a rented trailer.

South East CCAC celebrates year of connecting people with care EMC News – The South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) celebrated another year of connecting people with the care they need and announced the new board of directors for 2013/14 at its annual general meeting on June 26. The board of directors for 2013/14 are: David Vigar (chair), Wendy Cuthbert (vice-chair), Stan Collins (treasurer), Deanna Dulmage (secretary), Carole Weir, Marion Hughes and the board welcomes new member, Francyne St-Pierre Givogue. In 2012/2013, South East CCAC provided care to more than 33,410 people including: 20,889 patients receiving care at

home; 14,481 seniors who were supported to stay in their homes independently; and 3,451 children receiving health services at school. Getting people the care they need at home and in the community, the South East CCAC helped more than 1,242 seniors transition to a long-term care home; worked in hospital inpatient and emergency departments across the region to help 12,071 people return home from hospital with home care; and provided 663 more patients with personal support, and 100,248 more hours of personal support than the previous year. “Not only are we coordinat-

ing care for more people, we are also seeing an increase in patients with high needs” said Jacqueline Redmond, chief executive officer of the South East CCAC. “Caring for more people with high care needs requires increased collaboration across the health system and CCACs play a key role in creating a better aligned health system. We look forward to continuing to work with all sectors of the local health care system to provide outstanding care to every person, every day.” Thanks to sound financial management principles, the South East CCAC balanced its $109 million budget with a

small surplus. “I have a deep gratitude for the work of the South East CCAC,” said outgoing board member Beverley Townsend. “Every day there is a huge corps of people who support more than 12,500 individuals to remain in their homes under the guidance of the CCAC care coordinators.

Land claim agreement will articulate Algonquins’ harvesting rights By ROBERT POTTS

EMC Lifestyle – The following is part of a series, provided by the Algonquins of Ontario. Since time immemorial, harvesting has been central to the Algonquin way of life. The Algonquin traditional practices of hunting, trapping, fishing and gathering flora for medicinal, food and other purposes, reflect the history of Algonquins as a hunting and gathering society. These practices embody an inherent respect for the environment and a fundamental commitment to the sustainable management of resources which has been passed from generation to generation. The right of Aboriginal peoples in Canada to engage in traditional activities that are fundamental to their unique histories, cultures and spiritual beliefs is recognized by the Constitution Act, 1982 and upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. Under this

legal framework, the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) currently possess the right to harvest wildlife, fish, migratory birds and plants for domestic purposes 365 days per year. This right is subject only to measures necessary for conservation and public health and safety. As such, a final treaty will not create Aboriginal rights for the AOO but rather, it will clearly articulate what these rights are and how they may be exercised. As stewards of the land and resources within their traditional territory, the AOO recognize the fundamental importance of protecting viable populations of flora and fauna for generations to come. Since 1991, the AOO have pioneered ground-breaking harvest management plans for moose in Algonquin Park and wildlife management units surrounding the park. These plans contain clear provisions which set out when and where the harvest by Algonquin harvesters can occur, what the to-

Robert Potts

tal harvest is to be and who is eligible to participate through a tag system. Harvest limits for moose and elk are established in cooperation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), based on data that addresses wildlife conservation and the sustainability of wildlife populations. The AOO is the first Aboriginal group in Canada that has voluntarily enacted these types of harvest management practices. Over the last decade the AOO, working in partnership with the MNR have become important players in moose aerial inventory surveys in Algonquin Park. This involvement expanded to elk aerial inventories beginning in early 2012. The AOO continue to work with the MNR to develop a coordinated approach to enable the effective participation of the Algonquins in the collection of data relating to fish and other wildlife across the territory. To date, the data collected for both

moose and elk have assisted in the development of the AOO annual harvest management plans. The AOO recognize that sustainable harvests are fundamental not only to the Algonquin way of life but also to our neighbours living throughout our traditional territory. As demonstrated over the past 20 years, the AOO are committed to working together to ensure the protection of viable populations of fish and wildlife for future generations. This column is the fourth in a series providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the preliminary draft AIP and next steps in the journey. The next column will focus on the forestry component of the preliminary draft AIP. For more information visit www. tanakiwin.com. Robert Potts is Principal Negotiator and Senior Legal Counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario.

Hyosung motorcycles have had success since launch style race-inspired bikes and the performance cruiser ST7 models. My tester from Dan Witmer of GearHead Canada was the GT250R. This red and white faring clad pocket-something, looked great in its stance and provided an adequate seat height of 32” that provided easy swing over even for an aging test pilot. In mono-coloured trim, the GT250R carries an MSRP of just $4,200; my two-toned version is only $200 more. If you want the bones without skin, a ‘naked’ version of the GT250R is available in three solid colour choices for just $3,799 (all prices before destination charges, dealer prep, license fees, and tax). As the moniker suggests, power for the GT250R comes from an air/oil cooled 250 cc twin breathing through eight valves on a dual-over-head-cam. The fuel injection system removes the need for a choke and annoying fast idle warm-ups. A five-speed transmission transfers the 30 hp via a chain to a rear 17” tire. Stopping performance is strong and comes from a three-disc system using twin-piston 300 mm calipers on the front and a 230 mm unit on the rear. Front suspension is comprised of 43mm inverted forks and the rear uses a swing arm with a progressive linkage shock that’s preload adjustable. The front tire is a 110/70-17 and the rear is 150/70-17. The GT250R propelled my 230 lb mass without much complaint and shifts were solid and powered well by a wide torque-band. A slight stiffness to the steering and pegs I put down to being the first rider on this machine out of the

box. Even with the low position handlebars, and my lack of experience with this stance, signal and lamp controls, along with brake and clutch levers (which are adjustable) were easy to operate. A three-position foot-peg set-up, along with the adjustable levers will permit a

wide range of riders to find just the right position for comfortable yet spirited rides. The GT250R definitely won’t give many mid-displacement bikes a scare, but it provides a great balance between a solid commuter and weekend freedom bike. For those not seeking a race-inspired riding position the less dressed GT250 has a different set of handlebars that permits a more upright stance. Instrumentation includes a digital inset for fuel, temp, and trip distance with an adjustable brightness feature. Hyosung provides a full one-year parts and labor warranty with a second year for parts only. The GT250R is rated at 78 mpg and

17 L fuel tank provides plenty of range. I found the GT250R supplied confidence by means of the ease of operation in a ride on a busy Ottawa Saturday morning route. The mirrors need to provide a slightly wider range and the seat bottom definitely could use a little more padding. With the ease of cold starts and the nimbleness that a compact-framed bike provides in urban settings at a price point lower than any of the competitions’ MSRP’s, Hyosung might be your first or next ride. Yours in service Brian Turner

EMC Lifestyle – The bikes and vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local retailers. I prefer to use retailers whenever possible because they stock units that more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local retailer and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Hyosung 250GTR motorcycle I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at GearHead Canada in Bells Corners, Ottawa. Hyosung motorcycles have had just as much success since their launch in Canada as every other Korean vehicle importer. They were established in the late ‘70s and quickly developed a technology cooperation agreement with Suzuki. They grew from there and never looked back. They entered the North American market in 2005 marketing mid-level equipped bikes at entry level prices (a practice they continue with today). They started in Canada with cruiser-style machines, low on displacement but high on riding value. These bikes have evolved to the GV250 and GV650 Pro and find themselves equally at home on commutes or weekend get-away lanes. Their line has expanded and now includes GT-

Healthy and safe outdoor eating tips for summertime By MEENA TIPPER

EMC Lifestyle – Summertime is ideal for eating outside, at the beach, in the back yard or a local park. When planning foods for outdoor eating remember that in the summertime many local vegetables and fruit are at their peak and make a wonderful addition to any meal. It is also important to stay hydrated, and use safe food practices. Healthy picnic options Typical prepackaged picnic foods such as hot dogs, mayon-

naise based salads (e.g. potato salad); chips, desserts etc. can be high in saturated fat, sodium and sugar. You can make your picnic healthier by including vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean meat. Summer picnics occur at the height of the fresh fruit and vegetable season. Here are a few tasty and easy picnic ideas: • Combine salad greens with a variety of other vegetables. Bring vinaigrette dressing to toss before serving. • Serve sliced vegetables and dip. Try locally grown tomatoes, red peppers, radishes,

Or use lettuce as the “wrap” for the filling.
