EMC Events – Now in its second year, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) Young Naturalists, headed by Patty Summers from the Wild Bird Care Centre (WBCC) in Nepean, will hold a series of four monthly sessions at the Mill of Kintail from September to December.

Registration for these sessions is open to children seven to 12 years of age with an interest in nature and a willingness to explore!

Each month we explore a different topic.

Scavenging Species in September will provide an opportunity for new and returning members to get to know each other. Sporting new, personally decorated nature hats, we will try to locate and identify some items and species found in the forest and the Indian River that runs through the property.

October’s session will explore Invisible Nature.

Working with the developed observation skills from September, the group will look even closer at some of the aspects of nature not easily

spotted. The members will head out on a nature walk with a wool sock over their shoes to collect some of nature’s hitchhikers. Spider webs, mushroom spores and organic specimen found in mud puddles will be examined.

Bones will be the November topic. Youngsters will examine and compare a variety of different bones from mammals and birds. We will even turn a bone into a rubber bone! We will then try to piece together a skeleton from the bones dissected from owl pellets.

The autumn sessions will conclude in December with a nature ramble, complete with cameras for a fall photo finish. The group will head out on a scavenger hunt focused on looking for signs of the changing seasons. A photo display will be produced and shown at MVFN’s indoor lecture series. We will then make some holiday snacks to take home for our back yard visitors.

Summers began volunteering at the WBCC at the age of 16 and continued

Annual Harvest Lantern Labyrinth Walk Sept. 29

working there during the summer months while pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Laurentian University. With a particular interest in birds, she focused her Master’s research at Carleton University on the effects of roads and traffic noise on bird abundance in the Ottawa area. She has participated in local bird counts and has been a volunteer bander at both Innis Point and Long Point Banding Stations. Summers has since returned to the WBCC to implement an educational outreach program and care for sick, injured and orphaned wild birds. She has been instrumental in developing and leading these exciting MVFN Young Naturalist sessions for an enthusiastic group of children.

The MVFN Young Naturalists Club is a function of the MVFN Environmental Education Program (EEP) and is headed by MVFN EEP chair Brenda Boyd. For more information on this and other EEP programs, contact Boyd at 256-2706 or bjboyd@rogers.com.

EMC Events – The warm glow of lanterns of all shapes and sizes will illuminate the path of the Carleton Place Community Labyrinth at the fourth annual Harvest Lantern Labyrinth Walk on Saturday, Sept. 29.

Festivities take place at 7 p.m. behind the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum, located at the corner of George and Baines streets.

The Labyrinth Committee (TLC) of Carleton Place invites you to bring out your lanterns and join us in an evening walk. Hundreds of flickering luminaries will be set up along the labyrinth’s path and colourful handcrafted lanterns will be set aglow in Carleton Place’s recently declared Labyrinth Park.

“Along with a candlelit path lit by hundreds of luminaries, expect to enjoy music and free refreshments – all chosen for the harvest theme,” TLC chair Debby Lytle says. “For those who are new to the labyrinth experience, it’s a perfect chance to visit the

The Harvest Lantern Labyrinth Walk has become a popular fall event, as individuals and families from across the region bring along their festive lanterns, enjoy a walk in the crisp autumn air, and cozy up to a roaring bonfire. Garden benches and a wheelchair accessible contemplation ring encircle the labyrinth for those who wish to relax and watch the candlelight.

Thanks to support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Town of Carleton Place and individuals and businesses within our community, this permanent labyrinth can be visited at any time. A TLC volunteer is available on site each Tuesday from 9 to 10 a.m. throughout the fall to provide a guided walk.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

A little dedication makes a big difference EMC News – Two and a half years ago, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS) welcomed mentor, Stacey Shrout. Stacey started with the agency as an In-School Mentor, where she spent one hour a week mentoring her little sister, Destiny.

She began to feel as if she could give more of her time to volunteering and decided to make the transition to be-

come a traditional ‘big sister’; spending more time, outside of school, with her little sister.

Every day, BBBS is trying to recruit mentors as dedicated as Stacey. Local at-risk youth benefit from role models, and they need someone special in their lives to look up to, and guide them. This is exactly the role that big sister, Stacey plays in the life of her little sister, Destiny.

Shrout had set a personal goal for herself - to be a mentor. A friend got her involved and her mother was a BBBS mentor as well. When she realized the increasing need for mentors at BBBS, she knew it would be a good fit. “It was a bigger commitment than I had originally anticipated but when I saw the need; it made my decision to continue very easy,� Shrout said. The process to become a mentor was very “easy and thorough,� she said, but she was “guided every step of the way� by BBBS caseworkers.

When Shrout and Destiny meet every week, they enjoy doing different things. They like to swim, shop, do crafts, and bake. Shrout likes to go on drives with her little sister, as that is when they have the best chats. Whatever they are doing, Stacey explained, “It’s a few hours that I don’t have to worry about work or the bills. We can just hang out.

It’s like reliving my youth at times.�

Destiny’s grandmother, Marion says she couldn’t be more pleased with the match between Destiny and Stacey.

ern part of Lanark County and of course, we always have our door open to more youth that need another role model in their lives.�

Stacey challenges people to volunteer: “It is so important to give back to the community. There are good days and bad days but when a child’s eyes light up when they see you, it becomes clear, the impact you can have on their life.

If someone has something to share, they should. Take a chance and try it!�

She explains, “Stacey is so patient with her. She goes out of her way to accommodate Destiny and plays with her schedule to do things that Destiny wants to do. Destiny watches the calendar every week, just waiting for her special time with her ‘big sister’. Having Stacey in her life makes her so very happy, and I am beyond thankful.�

Robin Heald, Resource Development Manager for BBBS explained, “We are thrilled to have Stacey help us serve Almonte youth. We have a huge need for mentors in the north-

County elementary school teachers withdrawing from extra-curricular activities desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Elementary school teachers in Perth and elsewhere in Lanark County are taking steps to remove themselves from supervising extra-curricular activities.

The EMC has learned that, following a Sept. 17 meeting of Perth teachers, the cross country team at the Stewart School will be allowed to continue on with its season, since training had already begun, but that other sports teams and clubs will not be opened, as teachers give voice to their displeasure over the passage of Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act of 2012.

Teachers at Glen Tay Public School and The Stewart School will also be taking a hard line on withdrawing from extra-curricular activities.

However, local secondary school teachers won’t be withdrawing from supervising after-class activities just yet, according to a local union boss.

“I don’t know for sure,” said Danny Thomas, teacher president for the local branch of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF), during a telephone interview from his Kemptville office on Sept. 17.

While he has not heard any directives from the union’s head office in Toronto, “we don’t have any immediate plans for that (work-to-rule) in the immediate future for here,” though he did note that his teachers temporarily withdrew their afterhours services for 24 hours

feel picked on.”

Thomas noted that teachers are “fully aware” of the dire financial straits that the province finds itself in at the moment, with a $15-billion deficit, but added that “we proposed a wage freeze” to the McGuinty government, which did not appear to appease them.

“All of this stuff is way too deep,” said Thomas.

Thomas said he considered it a shame that local solutions could not be found to the problem, and surmised that school boards feel dismayed at the outcome of the vote as well.

“They (school boards) are as upset as we were when the government came along and said, ‘You are not going to negotiate,’” said Thomas.

Terry Simzer, director of communications for the Upper Canada District School Board, noted that the ball is in the union’s court as to what, if any, extra-curricular sports, drama and clubs get cancelled.

“It’s their issue so we won’t get caught up in all that,” said Simzer on Monday.

“It’s very early on. It’s very sporadic. (But) they will decide how long this goes on for.”

Simzer noted that the extra-curricular activities are indeed “voluntary.”

According to the OSSTF web site, Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier (Progressive Conservative) was absent for the Bill 115 vote, while Carleton-Mississippi Mills P.C. MPP Jack MacLaren voted in favour of the bill.

Leeds-Grenville Tory MPP Steve Clark also voted yes to the bill.

The OECTA Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) hammered out a deal with the provincial government on July 5.

Amber Laberge, communications officer with Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), said that because of this deal, no English Catholic schools in the region are affected by any threat of work-to-

rule action. In a letter to his members dated Sept. 12, OECTA president Kevin O’Dwyer noted that as a result of the July 5 memorandum of understanding, “the school board cannot change the terms and conditions of your collective agreement.

Your employer cannot lock you out. And you cannot

undertake job actions of any kind.”

Two attempts were made by the EMC to contact Marg Merpaw, head of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario for the Upper Canada District, on Sept. 17 and 18, but she was busy attending meetings in Perth and Kemptville.

on Wednesday, Sept. 12, the day after Bill 115 stripped them of their collective bargaining rights and right to strike (for a period of two years) passed Queen’s Park on Sept. 11.

One thing Thomas’ teachers will be doing in the interim though as a visible demonstration of their displeasure over Bill 115 will be to wear black every Tuesday, on the weekly anniversary of the passing of the bill “as a sign of our displeasure” and also as a sign of mourning.

“We’re mourning the loss of our right to strike; mourning the loss of our right to collective bargaining,” said Thomas. “These are fundamental rights,” he said, adding that the legislation will be subject to a court challenge.

The bill passed thanks to Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives teaming up with Dalton McGuinty’s minority Liberals to pass the bill over the objections of Andrea Horwath’s New Democratic Party.

After the Ontario-wide teachers’ strike in the fall of 1997, there was talk amongst Tories at Queen’s Park of banning teachers strikes by deeming them to be an essential service, like police officers, but neither premiers Mike Harris or Ernie Eves followed through on the idea.

Thomas said he was in a state of “disbelief” that it was a Liberal government – albeit with Tory support – that stripped them of their right to strike.

“A lot of teachers feel bullied,” said Thomas. “We

Poverty report ranks Ontario last in Canada derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Ontario is dead last among provinces when it comes to funding social programs, a new report revealed.

An Ontario-wide coalition of almost 100 groups and organizations, called Ontario Common Front, examines growing inequity. On Aug. 29 it released Falling Behind: Ontario’s backslide into widening inequity, growing poverty and cuts to social programs.

Despite having among the world’s most highly educated workers, an abundance of natural resources, and an industrial base, the report shows that Ontario is falling behind the rest of Canada in terms of growing poverty, increasing inequity and flagging financial support for public services.

It blames choices made by governments, not international economic trends, for the downward spiral. “Today,” the report reads, “600,000 Ontario families find their incomes stalled or falling behind, while the richest 10 per cent gallop away with the bounty from the sustained period of economic growth stretching from the mid-1900s to 2008.”

The report found that: • 40 per cent of Ontarians, 600,000 families, are struggling with incomes that are stagnant or declining; • Ontario funds all of its social programs, including health care to education, at the lowest rate in Canada; • While poverty rates fell in five provinces, Ontario had the second highest increase in poverty rates and intensity, leaving 393,000 children in poverty (one in seven); • Ontarians pay the highest school fees, out-of-pocket health care fees and tuition fees in the country while leading the nation in cuts to corporate and income taxes.

It blames both the Liberal and Progressive Conservative governments for prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy over equality-creating public programs.

The report tracks the decline with examples such as: the average CEO takes home 250 times the income of the average Canadian, while a generation ago that ratio was 25 times the average.

Morgan Goddard is the NDP riding association presi-

dent for Carleton-Mississippi Mills. He said there is little difference between the Liberals and PCs when it comes to spending priorities. Both believe in the myth of “austerity” meant to convince the middle and working classes to give up more just as the wealthiest take even more.

“Austerity measures are not working; it’s causing greater poverty, and that’s just not right,” Goddard said. “It’s always easy to blame the poor.”

He noted that Kanata is one of the wealthiest areas of the country. But even there personal debt is piling up and two-income families are no further ahead than the one income families of the 1960s and 1970s.

Goddard said the reality of trickledown economics – introduced by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan during the early 1980s - is that kids get neglected because parents are working longer hours, communities suffer because fewer people can volunteer their time, and ecological and

financial debt is loaded onto future generations.

In West Carleton, where Goddard lives, poverty can be masked somewhat. But the reality is many people are couch surfing and using the emergency food cupboard like never before.

He said the solution is to shift the burden away from the working and middle class to restoring a balance with the wealthiest. Increasing the income tax rate by one per cent of those making over $500,000 per year – about 30,000 people in Ontario – would “cover everything missing on social spending,” he added.

However, Goddard admits there are plenty of catchy slogans and false arguments that convince poor people they deserve to be poor. There is the “rich people have earned their wealth” argument which often isn’t true because of inheritance laws. There is the “rich people create jobs” argument which isn’t borne out by statistics showing most jobs are created by small and medium

sized businesses. There is the “government can’t do anything right” argument which blames civil servants rather than politicians who serve power elites instead of the majority of voters.

“Mostly it’s that people are willing to believe what is convenient. If they don’t want to give money to the poor, it can be as simple as greed,” he said. “I think that’s a false self-interest.”

Ontario Health Coalition director Natalie Mehra, primary author of the report, said the province is on a five-year plan to cut public sector jobs and services that will worsen the situation for everyone.

She said Ontario residents are paying for the current shortfall in “hundreds of ways,” from the highest tuition and school fees, the highest proportion of out-of-pocket health care costs, a burgeoning array of user fees, and thousands of families wait years for support for children with disabilities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Government’s actions leaves teachers in tough spot DEAR EDITOR: With summer almost over and the beginning of another school year already here, teachers are being targeted by the provincial government as part of the cure for the deficit.

Pending legislation to freeze contracts has bred suspicion and even more distrust of the real intentions of Premier Dalton McGuinty. In recent years, this premier has made a point of promoting the value of early childhood education, has instituted full-day schooling for junior and senior kindergarten age children and has courted the support of teachers’ unions.

This time, with Education Minister Lauren Broten as the spokesperson, he has raised the ire of teachers’ unions and teachers, too. Contracts are negotiated with the school boards but, this time, the school boards were ignored. Fighting words, such as strike, lockout, and back-to-work legislation are not conducive to a good working atmosphere. If this issue ends up in the Supreme Court, the government could be found in breach of its own Labour Relations Act. Teachers are a favourite focus of criticism by many facets of

the population. Haven’t you heard? The reason we are teachers is because of the big salary, the two months summer holiday, the Christmas and Easter holidays as well as PA days.

Lack of information often results in misconceptions. That is the case as it relates to those of us who have given many years teaching and learning with children.

From an early age I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I didn’t know there was pay involved; I wanted to go to school seven days a week, all year. Maybe I was ahead of my time!

My experience has been that those who choose to teach, do so because they enjoy working with children. The few, who take up the profession mainly for the pay, do not stay. Teachers must be able to deal with crises quickly and professionally, exhibit good judgment in a wide range of situations, respond with empathy to concerns expressed by children and adults, all while delivering the prescribed programs of learning laid out by the province and testing the results for publication in the media.

See LETTER page 10

EMC Editorial – So here we go again.

Very rich professional hockey players locked in a staredown with even richer professional hockey team owners in an ‘effort’ to reach a collective bargaining agreement. The result – a familiar one for National Hockey League fans – a lockout of the players that kicked in at midnight last Saturday.

Seven years ago, an entire season and playoffs was wiped out before a deal – which included the introduction a new salary cap that was to resolve what was supposedly ailing the NHL at the time – was reached.

Since that time, the NHL brand has grown steadily across Canada and the United States. The league has a ‘real’ television deal with NBC that actually pays big money, Canada has a seventh franchise back in Winnipeg and overall league revenues continue to grow year after year.

So how can there be a problem? The challenge is how to divvy up that embarrassment of riches.

The players’ union and ownership differ greatly over which side should get how much of the pie. While some negotiation has taken place, resulting in slightly altered initial offers, the two sides still seem wide apart (although why they can’t stop posturing and simply meet in the middle is beyond most rational minds).

Most of the experts don’t expect a year-long lockout this time around. But it’s clear months will pass before any ‘i’s’ are dotted or ‘t’s’ crossed with many players already jumping ship to sign with other leagues in Europe in order to stay sharp.

Of course the news isn’t all bad for Canadian hockey fans.

Those of us who live in communities where junior hockey resides could care less, really.

In Smiths Falls and Carleton Place, both of their Jr. A franchises are off to strong starts to their respective CCHL seasons. And the Kemptville 73’s are looking to build off an eyepopping pre-season. There’s also no shortage of entertaining Jr. B action with perennial championship contenders Westport along with Valley Division rivals Perth and Almonte all set to do battle. And if that’s still not enough, there are the myriad of minor hockey teams to enjoy. Both the minor hockey and girls hockey associations are just about in full swing already. The local rinks will be jammed with action throughout the week and all weekend long.

And unlike the jacked-up costs of tickets one faces at NHL rinks, this price is definitely right.

Prayers get family through Dirty Thirties EMC Lifestyle - We learned to pray at a very early age.

Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much.

Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the West hill under which the cows were seeking refuge in a storm, was another question he asked.

So other than Grace at the table at meal time, Father pretty well left the praying up to Mother.

Although Mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married Father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasn’t above resorting to her Rosary beads. But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasn’t a case of what you used when praying, it was

how often, and how fervently you did so.

So every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called “the scrunch corner”. That was because we all had to scrunch down around Mother’s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room. It was in my sister Audrey’s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and the corner we prayed in, was hardly big enough to hold all of us. I always tried to get in the middle, because then I could rest my head on Mother’s knee, but Emerson

usually beat me to it.

Mother would wait until we had all settled down around her knee, our eyes were closed and our hands were in steeples, then she would begin.

Her first prayers were ones we said every night. Exactly the same, word for word.

And I wondered back then, if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything from rain, to good crops, to a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door to door in Renfrew.

Mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the minister’s wife, who Mother thought was a saint! They were all part of our nightly prayers.

Of course, we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over. That idea

came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers.

And so began a lifetime of silent praying.

Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers I thought back then.

In fact, his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United Church a stone’s throw away.

And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older and much wise sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have

a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other.

To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, when, in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ram-rod straight, in deep concentration. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet. It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday, with my own thoughts.

Then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life. I’m afraid I wasn’t very good at it to start. I was praying for things that I had seen in the

Five and Dime Store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country. When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for.

We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School.

Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the bible, she said the Lord’s Prayer, and we repeated it after her. One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote... there were the Graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around Mother’s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer. I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, the prayers, in whatever form they were given, were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.

Casino downtown

A LOSING MOVE Feeling lucky? If you said no, you’re probably following the Ontario government’s plan to move slot machines out of racetracks by March 31, 2013.

Taxpayers in Ontario benefit from nearly $1 billion a year sent to essential services from the slots. Since they’ve been in place, the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway alone have generated $643 million for the provincial government that is specifically earmarked for health care in the province. The government is hoping this good fortune gets even better by taking the show downtown. This is more than a bad break for the people of Ottawa— it’s bad business.

OLG’s 2010 Net Profit 11% 49% 40%

The slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway produce $70 million annually for Ontario taxpayers.

By contrast, despite being only 2.5 km from downtown Ottawa, the slots and gaming tables at Casino Lac-Leamy earned a net profit of $5 million less than that in 2011.

The costs of doing business downtown are significantly higher and make profit return harder to manage. The large Casino Lac-Leamy has 400 more slot machines. Everyone in Ontario has an interest in seeing these earnings from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots upheld.

fundraisers and entertainment shows that have been thriving over the past 12 years.

Since slot machines were introduced to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 2000, they have generated $52 million for the City of Ottawa.

Council has said this revenue helps keep property taxes lower for all residents. The venue is also an ideal location for the fairs,

These numbers are possible because the Rideau Carleton Raceway site is easily accessible at the south end of Ottawa, and it has low operating costs and 2500 free parking spaces.

In return, more money flows back to the city and Ontario taxpayers.

From slots at racetracks From lotteries and bingos From casinos

The people of Ottawa are smart spenders and need to speak up. They resent paying for parking. They like quality food at affordable prices. Above all, they hate seeing their tax dollars lost on bad investments.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Caught between a rock and a hard place From page 8

The school day hours are determined by The Education Act, as are the number of teaching days and holiday times in each calendar year.

Teachers have no input into any of these, yet are unfairly criticized for them.

The teaching profession is open to all who wish to work hard, study for long hours, endure criticism and be in the public eye. The teaching profession is also open to those who love children and who delight in fostering young people’s creativity and curiosity. There is great satisfaction in seeing children discover and gain understanding of a new concept. If these characteristics match your own, then I encourage you to pursue the career. Please don’t resent my choice.

After almost 35 years in a classroom, it was time to retire from the profession I loved, teaching. For the past 16 years I have been a spectator of what goes on in education, and I still find myself defending both the perceived hours of work as well as the legally negotiated pay. My summer holidays were spent at university courses; evenings and

weekends were used for planning, preparing and correcting assignments. Parent interviews, writing report cards, meetings with school psychologists and health officials were accommodated on their terms, not mine. At the end of June I was ready for a change; as September rolled around, I was anxious to get back.

The students I had are still ‘my kids’ and I am proud to be able to call many of them by name, even after long years of absence. Many of them have chosen the teaching profession and are working in farflung parts of the world. I believe that some small part of myself is there with them.

The recent actions of Premier Dalton McGuinty and his Education Minister will taint the atmosphere for the new school year but I believe that teachers will continue to be professional, will continue to show compassion and empathy to their students and, at the end of the day, will know they did their best, in spite of the Ontario government’s efforts to show otherwise.

OHL exhibition game brings many to town DEAR EDITOR: Sincere congratulations to Rick St. Dennis, Gary Bisonette, Margo Loughren, the rink staff and volunteers for their exceptional organization of the Friday night exhibition game between the Ottawa 67s and the Gatineau Olympiques.

This game was an excellent opportunity to profile our Memorial Community Centre and to bring to Smiths Falls a high level of competitive hockey for the fans, and a boost for our fundraising.

One of the highlights of this night was the game between the Smiths Falls Cubs and Ottawa. Another highlight was the Smiths Falls House League girls competing against one another. Most entertaining!

The fan turnout was exceptional, showing again that we are “Sensational Smiths Falls”.

EMC Lifestyle - “Where can I take this?”

That’s one of the most common questions posed at the REAL Deal Reuse Store.

Conscientious people, who want to ensure that their waste item is reused, recycled or properly disposed of, regularly bring in items REAL can’t take, but they want to provide them with answers.

There has been a rather quiet revolution in Ontario in how we handle much of our waste.

Rather than all waste going to a municipality, some waste is now going directly back to retailers, manufacturers and to

other organizations.

This is called producer responsibility and means the producer bears the cost of reusing, recycling or disposing of the waste, instead of the taxpayer.

Ideally, it will mean that the producer uses their creativity to figure out how to manufacture products that are easy to reuse or recycle, closing the loop on waste.

REAL has been working to bring together all the available information on local retailers and other organizations that take back such waste, and to provide an easy to access

online directory for people to use. REAL has had the support of the municipalities of North Grenville, Smiths Falls, Perth, and Mississippi Mills to do this.

And, the long-term partnership and support of iWasteNot in providing their online Recyclopedia system.

REAL is close to formally launching the system, and invite people to start to use it, and to provide feedback.

The site can be accessed two ways: go to www.REALaction.ca, under the WASTE tab, click on Take it Back Recyclopedia or go directly to

Recyclopedia www.recyclopedia.net. Choose your community, then choose the item you want to dispose. You will find listings of retailers and non-profit organizations that take those items in the communities in which you shop, making it easy for you to take the item back.

The number and variety of items that you can now take back is impressive. Because of the support from the four particular municipalities, the focus is on those communities.

Encourage your municipality to get involved.

Keeping one’s cool key when raising complaint EMC News - It’s not surprising that people are emotional about their cars, trucks, SUVs and minivans. After all, automakers spend millions every year on advertising to show their products off as if they were catwalk models or exotic beasts or birds rather than mundane examples of personal transportation.

We’re led to believe that if we buy or lease the right auto, we’ll be magically whisked to Edenesque locales, our children will love and respect us, and we’ll get the perfect mate: all in the first drive around the block. If you think these emotions subside after a few years of ownership of a set of wheels, you’d be dead wrong.

Just imagine a new and much more powerful set of emotions which can erupt when a driver is suddenly faced with an unexpected bill to repair something he or she believed should have lasted longer, or been much cheaper to fix.

I’ve had the opportunity to see the best and worst of both consumers and retailers. I’m happy and proud to say that the overwhelming majority of daily automotive interactions

Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

have been positive examples of what’s right with the auto industry but there have been a few examples of things gone terribly wrong.

I recently received a letter from a consumer with a major case of ‘buyer’s regret’ over a used vehicle with various mechanical and electrical concerns purchased from an area retailer. In this missive, our used car owner referred to the store owner as almost everything but the kitchen sink and most of those terms can’t be used in polite society or on these pages. I’ve always been a fan of the idea that before you put anything in writing in anger; wait a day before mailing it. The speed and ease of email dispatching makes this very crucial. Once it’s in writing and out there, there’s precious little you can do to retract it and in some cases it can lead

to legal claims of libel.

I’m very understanding about verbal comments delivered in anger at a service counter. Today’s vehicles can be very complex and difficult to understand, even by automotive professionals. It’s no wonder consumers get frustrated and sometimes take their frustrations out on service consultants or managers. Fortunately when most good service people take their jobs, they grow a very thick skin. But in an attempt to provide some guidance, here are a few words to the wise.

When you’re faced with a concern regarding any issue at any retailer, try to keep your cool. Raising your voice and blood pressure does nothing for the situation, not to mention your health. It’s helpful in times like these to either deal with another person (preferably the dept. manager) or relax for a few minutes in a quiet area away from the traffic of a busy shop’s counter.

Good service consultants are very adept at diffusing anger and helping a customer understand the situation and by offering various options to

minimize expense and inconvenience. But even the best of them draw the line at personal verbal attacks. When you direct negative comments of a personal nature, you’re almost certain to close the door on any resolution you may have been looking for.

When dealing with a manufacturer’s dealership, make sure your complaint gets all the way up to the top of the ownership chain before calling the automaker’s consumer hotline.

Like everyone else nothing gets a department manager or dealership owner’s back up than when someone goes over their head. And involving a third party prematurely does nothing to speed things up, so if you’re looking for a speedy resolution, try to keep things simple.

Finally, sometimes we just get so involved in a problem that we can’t see the forest for the trees or separate our logical and emotional sides long enough to get things cleared up. In rare cases like these, it may be best to get a family member or partner to represent you and remove yourself from the quagmire.

Local leaders lend support to LGBT Lanark County anti-bullying campaign rcoyne@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Community leaders from across Lanark County are lending their faces and voices in support of LGBT Lanark Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest anti-bullying initiative.

A total of 14 full-colour posters have been produced, each of them portraying one or two of the well-known individuals, along with a quote from them supporting a more inclusive and accepting community.

The campaign kicked off last Tuesday, Sept. 11 with a public unveiling hosted by the Gay Straight Alliance in the foyer of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI).

Elizabeth Snyder of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Lanark County explained to the crowd how the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enough Is Enough!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; movement was sparked following the death by suicide of Jamie Hubley, a Kanata teen who had been bullied for being gay. Since its launch last year, more than 1,200 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enough Is Enough!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rainbow bracelets have been distributed across the region, a positive sign of a supportive community that opposes all forms of bullying.

The posters will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;giftedâ&#x20AC;? to all schools in the county, powerful messages from people of influence, Snyder said.

A press release from the LGBT group explains how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped the â&#x20AC;&#x153;positive messages of support from recognizable pillars of the community will give our youth a moment of reassurance â&#x20AC;Ś perhaps an incentive to be part of this positive shift or maybe just enough encouragement to hold their

heads up a little higher.â&#x20AC;?

Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples, one of the poster subjects, came forward to pledge to do all he can to eliminate bullying from schools and the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to say how pleased I was to be invited by Elizabeth to be part of this,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Gord Cooke, principal at SFDCI, who posed alongside vice-principal Nancy Keech in another poster, said he had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;selfishâ&#x20AC;? reason for wanting to participate: to help ensure a safe and welcoming environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the principal of a school and my job here is to help people learn. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel safe,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Others who have come forward as poster subjects are: â&#x20AC;˘ John Fenik, Mayor, Perth, â&#x20AC;˘ Peter McLaren, Mayor, Lanark, â&#x20AC;˘ Wendy LeBlanc Mayor, Carleton Place, â&#x20AC;˘ David Murphy, Constable, Smiths Falls Police Service, â&#x20AC;˘ Brent McLaren, Town Crier, Perth, â&#x20AC;˘ Laurie McCabe, Principal, Almonte & District High School, â&#x20AC;˘ Peter McKenna/Maureen McIntyre, Exec. Director, Rideau Community Health Service and Director, Diabetes Regional Centre, â&#x20AC;˘ Larry McDermott, member of Obaadjiwan First Nation & Director of Plenty Canada, â&#x20AC;˘ Drake Jensen, North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first openly gay male country singer, â&#x20AC;˘ Calvin Neufeld, inspirational speaker, with wife Sharon,

Rhiannon Champagne and Dustin Hawkins of the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gay Straight Alliance, introduced a video entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SFDCI Love Is Louderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Now posted on You Tube, it starts with photos of single students and staff holding signs with derogatory â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;words that hurtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stupidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Retardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trashyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; written on them. It ends with those people holding a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Love Is Louderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sign between them with a message of support for those who feel persecuted.

Champagne says she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more pleased with the level of support being shown throughout the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so emotional,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t express how happy I am to see these people coming out and supportingâ&#x20AC;? the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enough Is Enough!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means the world to meâ&#x20AC;Śmy gratitude is never ending.â&#x20AC;?

With the momentum in such a positive direction, she says the movement will keep spreading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to keep getting better.â&#x20AC;?

As noted in the press release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The time has come to stand strong together with all of our allies at our sides and to stare back into the face of bullying with both assertiveness and compassion â&#x20AC;Ś the time has come for LGBTQ youth in Lanark County to be able to live their lives, in their community without fear.â&#x20AC;?

Students host Crohn’s and Colitis workshop on Sept. 22

Photo by DESMOND DEVOY

Rita Wakelin, with some of her Canada World Youth colleagues in the background, relaxes before class on the lawn of St. Paul’s United Church in Perth. Wakelin will be hosting a workshop on Crohn’s and Colitis disease at the church on Sept. 22. who also has the disease.

“It was incredible to be able to talk freely about it,” she said, hoping to replicate that feeling here in the Ottawa Valley.

Even as recently as six-months ago, she was unwilling to talk openly about it.

“I was giving the disease (a) stigma myself. I didn’t like

it; I didn’t like what it was doing to my body,” she said.

She credits her newlyfound CWY friends with helping her deal with her disease. Living and working in such close contact with them has made them like family to her, and out of necessity, she had to tell them.

“You have to find out what works for you,” she said. “(But) you want to try magical foods. I just try to use common sense.”

Even a traveler not having to contend with Crohn’s and Colitis would have difficulty adjusting to food in a new country like Nicaragua where even under good conditions food sources and types of food can make for upset stomachs at the best of times.

“My dietician will be working with me,” Wakelin said of her upcoming Latin American trip, adding she will be as cautious as she can be without starving.

“I will be bringing my army of medications,” she said with a laugh, holding out a fistful of pills.

Her disease also means that her chances of getting colon cancer are much higher than

for non-sufferers, and she already has ulcers in her large intestine.

“All of the lovely symptoms you love to share with your friends,” she said, looking around at her friends sitting with her on the lawn under a shady tree in front of the church.

Her friends have been extremely supportive, but she still has to contend with other issues on a daily, even hourly basis, like constantly asking the question – where is the nearest bathroom?

When she was first diagnosed she had to go to the washroom up to 30 times a day, though she said it is not that bad now.

“I do have to remember how lucky I am,” she said.

“I’m functioning so I am happy with that.”

Some sufferers would not even be able to travel abroad like she soon will. Another coping mechanism Wakelin uses is employing a sense of humour.

The event is free to attend but Wakelin asks that if you are interested in attending that you register beforehand by emailing her at rjwakelin@ hotmail.com or by phone at 613-278-1226.

R0011624987_0920

EMC News – Crohn’s and Colitis sufferers can share their story and their pain with fellow sufferers and their supporters on Sept. 22 in Perth.

Rita Wakelin, 20, a Canada World Youth (CWY) student from Victoria, B.C., who will live in McDonalds Corners until she ships out on a humanitarian mission to Nicaragua later this month, along with her friends from the CWY group, will host a workshop on the disease at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 1 to 4 p.m.

While speakers are still being lined up for the event, Wakelin hopes that, if nothing else, it will be “a place where patients will be able to interact with each other to discuss their own experiences with the disease.”

While her fellow CWY students have been conducting educational exercises and organizing guest speakers to talk to their group, mostly about issues like safe food preparation and food justice, Wakelin herself speaks from experience with the disease.

“I’ve had it for three years and I just remember when I was sick, I never really… met anyone else who had Crohn’s and Colitis until this year. I never really had someone else to talk to,” she said.

Back in Victoria, she met a young man, a musician,

“I told them right away because I love them,” she said.

“I will let you know right now that I may lose control of my bowels,” she told them point blank when she revealed her condition to the group.

“I didn’t think it was a big moment, but it was,” she said of standing up in front of her CWY peers and sharing something so personal. “I cried a bit afterwards. They care about me. It took a weight off of my chest.”

Wakelin was diagnosed with the disease at age 17 while on a school trip to France.

As a teenage girl, “I was already as self-conscious as you could be,” Wakelin said. “That was not a good time for me to have it… You feel like crap all the time. There is nothing you can do to cure it (but) you can control it.”

One option is to remove a sufferer’s intestine, but that operation is done only if someone’s life is in danger.

“What scares me is that I know that my (type of condition) is considered incredibly treatable,” Wakelin said. “I still don’t feel great. I have times of the day when I am in pain.”

The role of real estate agents is not just to buy or sell houses. They also facilitate the sale or purchase of a piece of land or a business. And, above all, they allow you to avoid a long list of possible problems relative to these complex transactions. In any real estate transaction, the advice and expertise of a real estate agent are indispensable. They know the local real estate market intimately and they have the knowledge and the means to give you the best possible service thanks to their net-work of contacts. Not only do real estate agents help you to save money, they always have your interests at heart and will also help you save a lot of time. An individual who decides to buy or sell a property himself is always motivated by the desire of saving money. However, if you are not aware of all the different steps involved, from putting the property on the market to the closing of the transaction, it is very possible that some costly errors could be committed. The organization of open houses is a long and tedious marketing process. Doing business with disagreeable people or those who are hard negotiators can also be a major irritant. You could also be faced with potential judicial problems. A contract signed by two parties, which is not prepared by areal estate agent, could entail provisions and other conditions which

Opinion

Women’s shelter calls for MP to vote ‘no’ on motion M-312 Interval House

EMC Lifestyle - On Jan. 28, 1988 the Supreme Court of Canada struck down all legal restrictions on abortion, making it a completely legal medical procedure in this country. Now, a Conservative MP from Kitchener Centre, Stephen Woodworth, would like to overturn the Supreme Court of Canada with Motion M-312.

M-312 seeks to “establish a parliamentary committee to review the declaration in subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada which states that a child becomes a human being only at the moment of complete birth.”

As the recent referendum letter sent out to local residents by Conservative MP, Scott Reid indicates, “this motion will effectively reopen the abortion debate in Canada if it passes.”

Many myths surrounding the abortion issue persist in clouding the facts.

Myth: Legalized abortion leads to an increase in the number of abortions performed. Extensive research and data collection by the internationally respected World Health Organization (WHO) prove that regions with access to legal abortion in fact have a lower rate of abortions than regions where it is restricted or illegal. This is likely due to the increased education and support in those regions on birth control and reproductive education.

Myth: Making abortions illegal or restricting access to abortion will lower the number of abortions performed.

As the WHO global report, “Unsafe Abortion: Global and Regional Incidence, Trends, Consequences and Challenges” concludes, “Legal restrictions on safe abortion do not reduce the incidence of abortion.” Legal restrictions on abortion does not mean less abortions are performed, it only means more unsafe ones are.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institute of Health, “Unsafe abortions account for

Interval House clarification EMC News - In last week’s EMC an article regarding Lanark County Interval House’s financial concerns was published that has created some confusion. The EMC encourages citizens interested in making a donation to the service to do so by making your cheque payable to Lanark County Interval House and mailing to: Lanark County Interval House P.O. Box 107 Carleton Place, ON K7C 3P3. To support the service in receiving consistent funding support from the government, please mail your letters to MPP Randy Hillier at: 105 Dufferin Street, Unit 1, Perth, ON, K7H 3A5.

more than 70,000 maternal deaths per year and a further 5 million women to suffer temporary or permanent disability.” If Stephen Woodward has his way, Canada would add to those appalling numbers.

Myth: Motion 312 will only impact when abortions can be performed. Given the sensitive nature of this particular section of the Criminal Code of Canada, the impact of changing it is substantial. If passed, this motion would allow for the possibility that any and all miscarriages be subject to criminal investigations as manslaughter, any pregnant woman could be refused certain medical treatments and prescription medications, in addition, some fertility treatments, including in-vitro fertilization could become il-

legal.

Myth: Legalized abortion creates a moral climate in which terminating a pregnancy is an easy decision. The complexities and potential turmoil involved in making the decision to end a pregnancy remain with the individual woman making the decision, regardless of the wording of the law. A woman is no more or less likely to need an abortion, she is only more or less likely to be injured or killed depending on the law. Ultimately legal abortion equates to more safety while restricted and/or illegal abortion equates to more risk.

Myth: At issue is the question of when human life be-

gins. Motion 312 is a political strategy deliberately designed to deflect attention away from the real crux of the abortion issue; women’s rights. As Joyce Arthur, Executive Director of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada states in a recent press release, “Granting personhood to the fetus means removing personhood from the woman.”

After a long, hard-fought battle begun by the “Famous Five”, Canadian women have been “Persons” under the law since Oct. 18 1929. Passing M-312 would diminish the rights of Canadian women to a degree not experienced since before WWII. Violating women’s rights is not only

harmful to girls and women, it also negatively impacts all aspects of society from economic outcomes to health outcomes.

MP Scot Reid has called upon his constituents to direct him how to vote on this issue and it is critical that he hears a resounding “NO” to M-312.

If you haven’t already done so, it is vitally important that you fill in your referendum ballot and mail it back as soon as possible. If you did not receive your referendum ballot please contact Phil Joannou, Communications Assistant to Scott Reid at 613-947-2277.

The vote will take place in the House of Commons on Sept. 26 and Reid needs your input before then. Women across Canada need your support before then.

Health Wellness Centre of Excellence breaks ground

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Construction is expected to start immediately,â&#x20AC;? said executive director of Community and Primary Health Care (CPHC) Ruth Kitson on Thursday, Aug. 23 for the new Community and Primary Health and Wellness Centre of Excellence.

Located east of the Brockville Police Services, near the railway tracks and south of Parkedale Avenue, this stateof-the-art facility will house all current services offered at the CPHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other locations.

The price tag for the building is $9,597,010 with the federal government contributing $3 million and the provincial government giving $3,697,010, leaving $2.9 million to be raised by the community.

Along with about 100 individuals who gathered for this monumental occasion were several dignitaries, including Leeds Grenville MP Gord Brown, MPP Steve Clark, Brockville Mayor David Henderson, along with other area political figures.

Senator Bob Runciman was unable to attend due to other commitments. He has supported this venture from

the very beginning.

As the speeches flowed, chair of the CPHC and the Community Family Health Team Jim Garrah read a letter from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, Health Minister Deb Matthews.

An excerpt reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new, accessible facility will mean patients and clients can conveniently access a range of health care and social service providers and programs when and where they need them.

This is a wonderful example of providing the right care, at the right time, in the right place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a key goal of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Action Plan for Health Care.â&#x20AC;?

Garrah also added his own comments in recognizing the dream that Kitson had several years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I should say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thank you very muchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to somebody who had a vision a number of years ago, Ruth Kitson,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people have a vision, a lot of times it does not come to fruition. This is a person who had a vision, worked like the energizer bunny and here we are starting the Centre of Excellence. So thank you Ruth.â&#x20AC;?

As CPHC chair John Conley indicated that although

the planning was arduous, he believes that this project will continue to gain momentum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a milestone in our CPHC history and it has been a long time to come to this stage,â&#x20AC;? said Conley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember back to a number of years when we would take one step ahead, then go back a couple, but I think we are on solid footing now to start this new facility to serve the whole community of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark.â&#x20AC;?

Conley continued to thank honoured guests who helped with some financing through the government levels.

Phases There are three phases to this project with phase one and two starting right way with hopes of opening the Community and Primary Health and Wellness Centre of Excellence in the summer 2013.

Phase one includes all the services currently at three sites in Brockville with access to primary health through doctors, nurses practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, dietitians, as well as clinics such as arthritic (physiotherapists), congestive heart failure

Phase two takes in CPHC Community Support Services like Dinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clubs, Meals on Wheels, Adult Day, etc., plus Caregiver Support Centre, Lifeline (including Kingston), Outdoor Wellness Park, Heart Wise Seniors Exercise Program, Diabetes Centre and the conference/meeting rooms and other complimentary agencies/services.

As for phase three, the Guest Centre and Senior Housing, this effort will depend on funding as to when the beginning and finish will be.

Development Manager â&#x20AC;&#x153;For someone who has been involved with lots of health care efforts itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring to see the emotion that is behind this group and where this is at,â&#x20AC;? said Graham Bird, President Graham Bird Associates. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Bird went on to point out that the public would soon see the contractor setting up camp

with trailer, hydro and generators to start digging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Permits are being finalized with the city,â&#x20AC;? said Bird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funding is in place, designs completed, engineers are smiling, architects are smiling, so by Christmas our goal is to have the top on the building, windows in and the foundation poured so everyone will be warm to work on the interior.â&#x20AC;?

During the winter months the interior will be constructed which will include the doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices, examination room, reception areas and other rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be working with the facility teams to make sure the telephones and emails are ready to go somewhere in May,â&#x20AC;? added Bird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By June we will start pulling people out of their places, one by one. By this time next summer it will be ready.â&#x20AC;?

According to Bird, the facility will be environmentally friendly with a high efficiency energy system, recycled materials where appropriate and advanced roof products.

Fundraising The campaign volunteer fundraiser team will be hitting the floor running with Bruce Wylie at the helm and a team of influential individuals.

The team is comprised of Sandra Lawn, Ben TeKamp, Judith Caldwell, Deanna Clark and Susan Marjerrison, (absent from event). â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you talk about raising $2.9 million, we obviously have to talk to some friends, we are certainly going to do that,â&#x20AC;? said Wylie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the first thing that was important to the fundraising committee is that we create the need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruth talked about the needs and that all sites are coming into one site which is so very important and the community needs to know what the Community and Primary Health Care is. We have a job to do which starts on Monday.â&#x20AC;?

Wylie wants to ensure that the public knows what the Community and Primary Health Care is and does, before any team members start knocking on doors.

Tickets for CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream Home Lottery now on sale EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It is all about helping children and their families.

The launch of the 2012 CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream of a Lifetime Lottery marked the 22nd time community of builders and Ottawa residents came together to support their favourite hospital the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

On Monday morning, Sept.

17, the 4,563 square foot Minto Dream Home at 110 Gray Willow Place near Manotick welcomed the public and showcased why it is such a wonderful lottery prize.

The grand prize is worth $1.6 million and includes a furnished and decorated Minto Dream Home with all furnishings by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, $100,000 in cash, along with a 2013 Lincoln AKS AWD from Jim Keay Ford Lincoln. Topping that off is house cleaning for a year from The Maids Home Services, and $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy. Other prizes include $100,000 cash, a 2013 mustang convertible from Jim Keay Ford Lincoln, a $10,000 gift certificate from Jubilee Fine Jewelers, an Alaskan Cruise for 2 from Destination anywhere and that is only the second prize list. Third prizes feature a 2013 Ford F150 4x4 SuperCrew, a trip for 2 to Barcelo Maya Colonial Prestige, a $5,000 shopping spree and an Ottawa Senators Flex 40 Package in the 100-level. The early bird prize is $50,000 cash along with a 2013 Ford focus Titanium Hatchback, a trip for two to the Barcelo Beach Prestige Golf Collection and Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic from Marlin Travel and Transat Vacations and an Ottawa Senators Flex 40 Package in the 100-Level.

The prizes in the Dream House Lottery seem neverending.

Each room of the dream home is overflowing with creative ideas, vibrant colours and modern furnishings. There is even a television in the spacious shower, barn board walls, and a putting green in the back yard and a clever and stylish entertainment centre in the basement. Launching this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream House Lottery was CJOHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news co - anchor Graham Richardson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate the television in the shower,â&#x20AC;? he joked to a packed room at the dream house. Richardson said that there were so many touching stories at CHEO and that we are so lucky. He reminded the people at the launch that the as nice as the lottery prizes were, supporting CHEO was what the event was all about.

Alex Munter, president and CEO of CHEO, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CHEO Foundation really is the embodiment of the support and passion that this community has for its childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been the CEO for almost a year now and one of the most impactful experienc-

es for me and it happens all the time is to be out in the community and be approached by people who talk to me about the impact that CHEO has had on them and their families,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear those stories from parents and their kids. I also hear those stories from adults about themselves 10-20 and 35 years ago. It is a reminder of what CHEO is all about. The premise and promise of CHEO is the future,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the last 30-40 years our survival rate for cancer has gone to over 80 per cent,â&#x20AC;? explained Munter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Terry Fox started his marathon, most kids struck by cancer would sadly die. Today over 80 per cent will survive.

We are working towards 100 per cent. That high survival rate of 80 per cent is because of research that has happened at CHEO and other hospitals like CHEO,â&#x20AC;? he said. He explained that without the support of communities and donors much of the exciting steps against cancer may not have taken place.

Also at the lottery launching was the Trinh-Derry family representing all those families and children who have benefited from their experiences at CHEO. Emma Trinh when born was found to have low levels of hemoglobin. The hemoglobin carries oxygen. Emmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levels were going down and not improving. Twelve days after being born, CHEO staff was giving Emma blood transfusions.

Emma condition is extremely rare. Her father Sang said that if the doctors had not discovered the problem as quickly as they did they would have lost her.

Having a child with a condition such has Emmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a nightmare. The prognosis for Emma is good these days but

doctors are careful not to take her condition lightly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole family got a ton of support,â&#x20AC;? remembers Sang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found the doctors and nurses took the time to explain everything,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Only 63,000 tickets will be sold and because the lottery has sold out in previous years, organizers are encouraging everyone to purchase early to make sure they have a chance at winning. Single tickets are $100 each or three for $250.

Dates to remember â&#x20AC;˘ Closing date for all ticket sales is midnight Friday, December 14, 2012. â&#x20AC;˘ Early Bird deadline is midnight, Friday, November 16, 2012. â&#x20AC;˘ 2,500 Early Bird ticket winners will be drawn on Tuesday, December 18, 2012. â&#x20AC;˘ The Early Bird package will be drawn on Wednesday, December 19, 2012. â&#x20AC;˘ Final draws: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 and Wednesday, January 9, 2013.

Future of Ontario’s horse-racing industry on rocky ground

By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - The Steacy Stables in Lansdowne provided a fitting backdrop last week as Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark and Ontario PC Economic Development and Innovation Critic MPP Monte McNaughton addressed the McGuinty government’s decision to end the successful slots-at-racetracks agreement.

Mark Steacy, owner of the establishment, is not pleased with the decision, and was more than ready to share his thoughts with the public.

“The slots wouldn’t have been put in in the first place if it wasn’t for the agreement we came to in about 1998 (concerning slots at the racetracks),” said Steacy. “We made some mistakes in the racing world. In the contract back then we should have said that track owners should do more, they should put more back in, they should have renovated their facilities more and created much more advertising than we did.”

When asked about money going to American drivers and leaving Canada, he said it isn’t necessarily true. Although

prize money does go to Americans who win, it has to be remembered that Canadians can also go south to race and bring back American purses.

Foreign drivers and owners are not really much different from tourists – they use hotels and restaurants, shop in local stores, attend theatre and other local events.

He strongly believes that they bring much more money into the area than they take away, and that they spread the wealth along to everyone in the community through use of services.

“They come up and buy our horses,” he said. “In order to win things like the Ontario Sires Stakes, they have to have horses bred in Ontario. And they’re going there, they’re following the rules, and we all benefit. We go south, they come north, a lot of money goes both ways.”

The biggest fear is the loss of jobs which can come from the removal of the slots.

More than 1,100 jobs are threatened at Ontario stables, and upwards on 60,000 jobs province-wide in all aspects of the racing industry.

Beginning of the end “Today we heard from Mark Steacy that the decision by the McGuinty government to end the successful slots-at-racetracks agreement has marked the beginning of the end for Ontario ’s horse-racing industry and with it over 60,000 jobs directly and indirectly,” said MPP Monte McNaughton, Ontario PC Economic Development and Innovation Critic. “Previously, under the slots-at-racetracks program, Ontario’s horse racing industry thrived and has moved to the front of the pack. This success has resulted in over $1.1 billion in slots revenues being returned to the province last year alone. The Liberals are killing a vibrant industry and are putting 60,000 men and women across Ontario out of work.”

“This unilateral decision by the McGuinty government is devastating to the Steacys and the hundreds of jobs their operation supports directly and indirectly,” said Clark.

“Had McGuinty bothered to talk to rural Ontario about this issue, he’d know how many jobs are at stake. Instead, this

is another example of this arrogant and out-of-touch government simply turning its back on rural Ontarians.”

Documents released recently by the Ontario PCs revealed that the government had made up its mind to put the horse-racing industry on the chopping block before it had even received an economic analysis. The MPPs also referred several times to a report handed to the Liberals by the Horse Racing Industry Transitional Panel concerning the issue, but which has been kept hidden and secret without the other parties being allowed to see it or know what’s in it. They want to know what is in the report, is it really so damning that an entire industry needs to be threatened?

“The transitional panel’s interim report regarding the future of horse racing in Ontario was presented to the Minister of Agriculture last Friday,” said McNaughton.

“To date, we have heard nothing about the report or its contents. Thousands of jobs are at risk. The report must be made available to the public immediately.

As they hear from their constituents who will lose their livelihoods, the MPPs stressed that even the Liberal government’s own members are starting to break ranks on ending the slots-at-racetracks agreement as they hear from their many constituents who will lose their livelihoods should this occur.

Jeff Leal, the Liberal MPP for Peterborough, has proposed that the province “keep slot facilities at eight to 10 horseracing tracks … or allow gambling facilities to relocate but still give the tracks a share of the slot machine revenue as a way of maintaining the horse racing industry.”

“There is growing dissension in the Liberal caucus on this issue,” said McNaughton.

“Seven Liberal MPPs have publicly opposed the McGuinty government’s decision to end the slots-at-racetracks agreement.

Leal’s recommendations are a public acknowledgement of how damaging this decision will be to the horseracing industry and Ontario’s economy.”

“Monte has been our caucus lead on this issue and has

toured racetracks and stables across Ontario to hear directly from the 60,000 people the horse racing industry employs directly and indirectly,” said Clark. “I’d estimate more than 1,000 of those people work here in Leeds-Grenville because of operations like those run by the Steacy family here in Lansdowne.

“I held a pre-budget consultation in Gananoque just a day or two after the government first indicated it was ending the slots-at-racetracks agreement. And Mark was there, probably one of the first horsemen in the province to start sounding the alarm bells about how devastating this decision would be to rural Ontario. He followed up his presentation that day with a letter that detailed how this one operation and its 12 employees generate upwards of $1 million in economic activity every year.

“In a province where 600,000 people are looking for work, it’s unconscionable that the McGuinty government would unilaterally drive a stake into such a successful part of the rural economy.”

MPP praises motion calling for review cancellation of racetrack slots bring in the Auditor to finally get the answers the government has refused to provide.”

During the debate Thursday, Clark pointed out a refer-

endum was held prior to Casino 1000 Islands coming to Gananoque and Leeds and the Thousand Islands Township.

“I believe strongly that

any municipality that wants to host a casino in the future

must ensure its citizens have the same opportunity to make

their feelings known through a referendum,” said Clark.

EMC News - Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark welcomed the passage of a motion in the Ontario Legislature on Thursday, Aug. 30 asking the Auditor General to review the gaming and casino plans of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. (OLG).

According to a press release, the review will include the government’s decision to scrap the Slots at Racetracks program and the 60,000 jobs the industry supports across the province, including 1,000 or more in Leeds-Grenville.

The private member’s motion, introduced by NepeanCarleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, also asked the Legislature to reconfirm that a referendum must take place before any new casino is built in a municipality.

“I’m pleased MPPs from all parties supported this resolution,” said Clark, who spoke during the debate about the potentially negative impact of OLG’s plans on the economy in Leeds-Grenville.

“We have 1,000 jobs or more at stake in the horse-racing industry and 400 full-time jobs at Casino 1000 Islands,” Clark noted in the release.

“This review by the Auditor will ensure the government’s plan gives the people of Ontario value for money and that all the facts are known before OLG and the government head down this path.”

“The McGuinty government announced its plans to cancel the Slots at Racetracks agreement without consulting an industry that generates $2 billion of economic activity and supports some 60,000 jobs in Ontario – most of it in rural parts of this province,” explained Clark. “Now, we’ll

Blues on the Rideau returns to Westport EMC Entertainment - The popular Acoustic Blues Sunday Summer Series just ended at The Cove Inn in Westport with a fabulous performance

by Juno Award nominee Treasa Levasseur. Now it’s time to look forward to another great season of Blues on the Rideau at The Cove.

Celebrating its eighth year BOTR has become one of the premiere Blues Series in the country. The combination of a delicious buffet dinner and dancing to some of Canada’s best blues bands in the friendly, intimate setting of The Cove has proven to be a real winner. Proceeds from every show go to support different local charities. A total of $38,000 has been raised since the series started and another $7,000 is expected this year.

It’s another great line-up for 2012/13 – a combination of the most popular acts who’ve played the series previously and some exciting new talent.

The 2012/13 season starts Oct. 26 and will continue once a month until May (excluding December). There will be a total of 11 shows this year – 2 two-night stands (Friday & Saturday) and three singles (Friday only). Most occur on the third weekend of the month. Times are the same for all shows – 7 to 11 p.m. Despite increased costs the ticket price will remain the same as last year - $60 which includes a full course buffet dinner, dancing and a donation to the charity.

October 26 – Terry Gillespie Band From Vankleek Hill, Ont., a very talented singer/songwriter/guitarist Terry learned the Blues growing up in Detroit watching greats like Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker per-

form. He moved to Ottawa in 1968 and helped establish the blues scene there with his great band “Heaven’s Radio”.

His hot trio now consists of him on guitar and vocals with Wayne Stoute on drums and Lyndell Montgomery on bass - they were semi-finalists at the 2012 Memphis International Blues Challenge. Keyboardist Peter Measroch will join them for this show.

Proceeds will go to the Lucy Drysdale Memorial Scholarship Fund.

November 16 & 17 - Fathead From Toronto, Fathead has been one of Canada’s best loved blues bands for over 20 years led by harmonica/sax player/singer Al Lerman and the great John Mays on lead vocals with Teddy Leonard on guitar, Omar Tunnoch on bass, and Bucky Berger on drums. This band has won two Juno Awards & multiple Maple Blues Awards over its career and every player has won, or been nominated for, a Maple Blues Award in their instrument category at least once. Great blues R&B, funk and soul.

Proceeds from these shows will go to the Friends of Foley Mountain and the Westport Food Bank.

January 18 – Conor Gains Band From Cambridge, Ont., an incredible young guitarist/ singer/songwriter (only 19 years old!) with a very tight band who has already played prestigious events like the Montreal International Festival de Jazz and the International Blues Challenge in Memphis to standing ovations.

He has a great new album out full of original songs. A rising young star on the Canadian Blues scene. It’s his first visit

to BOTR at The Cove.

Proceeds to the Rideau Waterway Land Trust.

February 15 & 16 – The Hogtown Allstars From Toronto, this band features six players from two of Canada’s most famous Blues bands – Downchild and Fathead – wow! Chuck Jackson (vocals & harp), Teddy Leonard (guitar), Michael Fonfara (keyboards), Pat Carey (sax), Gary Kendall (bass) and Mike Fitzpatrick (drums).

Both bands have won Junos and everyone in the band has won a Maple Blues Award in their instrument category at last once. Are you ready for some Big Time Blues?

The proceeds from these performances will go to Rideau Vista and St. Edwards Elementary Schools.

March 15 & 16 – Jack de Keyzer Band Canada’s “King Of The Blues”, Toronto-based Jack de Keyzer is a singer/songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire. A two-time Juno Award and seven-time Maple Blues Award winner, he’s “The finest Blues guitarist in Canada” according to the late, great Jeff Healey. This is Jack’s fourth visit to The Cove and he always rips it up. One of the most popular acts to ever play the series.

Proceeds to Easter Seals Eastern Ontario & Habitat for Humanity.

TOPS looks at functional fitness EMC Lifestyle - Many people deal with back or joint pain, balance problems, and other issues that can make day-to-day activities seem difficult and even agonizing.

Tailoring your workout to include functional fitness exercises can increase your body’s ability to handle daily tasks and complete them with ease. Rather than lifting weights with a machine, complete your workout using real-life positions to prepare for real-life situations.

TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the non-profit weight-loss support organization, explains functional fitness and its benefits.

“Functional fitness exercises are designed to train and develop your muscles to make it easier and safer to perform everyday tasks, such as carrying groceries or throwing a Frisbee with the kids,” explains Amy Goldwater, M.S., fitness educator, former body building champion, and physical fitness expert for TOPS. Functional fitness exercises can be done at home or at the gym. In fact, some gyms offer functional fitness courses or incorporate concepts into boot camps and other classes. “Exercise equipment such as fitness balls, kettle bells, and

weights are often used in functional fitness workouts,” says Goldwater.

“These exercises tend to be multi-joint, multi-muscle exercises.”

In the beginning, individuals should consider only using their own body weight for resistance, slowly adding weight and increasing the intensity level as their fitness ability improves.

An example of a functional fitness exercise is the squat-to-bicep curl. Start with your feet shoulderwidth apart, spine straight, and core stable. Holding dumbbells at your sides, slowly bend through the hips, knees, and ankles until your knees reach a 90-degree angle. As you slowly return to the starting position, turn your palms toward the ceiling, flex your arms, and curl the dumbbells toward your shoulders.

“The squat-to-bicep curl is a form of functional fitness, because it trains the muscles that are used to pick up an object – a laundry basket, bag, or young child – from the floor or a table,” explains Goldwater. “It is an exercise that combines upper- and lowerbody movements.”

What are the benefits?

• Reduces the risk of injury – Functional fitness prevents injuries that can be

caused by daily tasks and prepares your body to adjust to life’s unexpected twists and turns, so they don’t turn into more severe injuries.

• Prepares the body to perform everyday duties – Functional fitness workouts train your body to perform daily activities – walking, bending, lifting, climbing stairs, and more – without pain or discomfort.

“The goal isn’t just to gain strength, but also to increase flexibility, range of motion, joint alignment, and body awareness,” says Goldwater.

• Emphasizes core stability – Strengthening your abdomen can improve balance to avoid falls and help your posture.

• Improves quality of life – Functional fitness exercises can offer individuals peace of mind knowing they have better control of their bodies and the ability to perform activities safely and efficiently.

Lanark County hospice visiting service seeks volunteers EMC News - Meet hospice volunteers Barbara Carroll, Beryl Orok and Marilyn Fisher. Barbara, Beryl and Marilyn were asked why they volunteer for Community Home Support – Lanark County’s Hospice Visiting Service. This is what they had to say: Barbara: “I am a volunteer with the Bereavement Team at Community Home SupportLanark County. At present I am one of four facilitators running a monthly open Bereavement Support Group in Carleton Place, and I meet oneon-one with clients who have lost a loved one. I volunteer in the area of bereavement because I feel very comfortable being present for the intense emotions of grief, I consider it a huge privilege to be with people during their most vulnerable and painful time, and I understand what it means to grieve without someone to stand by your side. These are the reasons that bring me to bereavement. The main

reason I keep doing this work is the clients I work with. I am always aware of their pain and struggle, and in awe of their courage, persistence, and openness. They are truly inspiring and I believe I receive at least as much from each of them as they do from me. In addition to this, I feel blessed by the fellowship, support, and encouragement I receive from other bereavement and palliative care volunteers, and of Community Home Support - Lanark County. It is wonderful to be a part of such a warm, caring, compassionate, and nourishing team.”

Beryl: “I count it a privilege and a blessing to be a volunteer. I have met wonderful people who have opened their lives to me at a time in their life that is difficult, to say the least, so that I might journey with them. This is an enriching human experience. Being a volunteer gives life a purpose that I enjoy greatly.

When I worked full time I had

some wonderful volunteers who came along side of me and were there to support the people I ministered to and me.

I learned from them the value of a volunteer to those going through rough times in life and I wanted to personally be the voice of compassion and offer a caring hand to others.

It is for me a rewarding and challenging opportunity. Not only have I met people who have touched my heart as clients, but it is good to be involved with other volunteers

and staff at Community Home Support who are like minded and committed to helping others.

Marilyn: “Robert Twycross, who was the English pioneer of palliative care, really sums up why I volunteer with the hospice. “The spiritual dimension of a person is what holds together the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of our lives.

It is felt that through good listening and companioning, we can assist people to become

more aware of their own values, hopes, and longings as they search to make sense or meaning of their illness.”

people they love. If you are a sensitive and caring person with some time to spare, come out and join a team of compassionate volunteers!

For further information about becoming a volunteer, please contact Rebecca Bowie at 613-267-6400, ext. 28 or rebeccab@chslc.ca.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

EOJHL season opens with full slate of games EMC Sports - The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League launched the new season last week and although it is early, one of the odds-on favourites in the Valley Division has been gripped by major change that could impact their campaign.

Arnprior Packers, who cruised to the division pennant and went on to claim the Valley championship, were missing long-time head coach and general manager Bill Griese when they opened their regular season schedule with a loss in Renfrew Friday night.

Griese left the team following a disagreement with the new owners and general manager, stating they came apart over who would be in charge of personnel (player) matters.

With 17 years of junior hockey coaching experience and a division championship last season, Griese expected to have the final say in terms of who played for the Packers. He says he wasn’t given that responsibility and therefore could not remain as head coach.

The rest of the coaching staff from last year is gone along with several veteran players who decided they did not want to be part of the new regime.

Arnprior will host the third annual EOJHL Fall Classic Oct. 12 to14. All 22 teams in the four-division league will participate in the annual tournament at Nick Smith Centre.

Each team will play two regular season games against nondivision opponents during the three day extravaganza.

The NHL Ottawa Senators are the major sponsor for this year’s event.

The 2012-2013 season began Sept. 12 with Brockville Tikis hosting South Grenville Rangers from Prescott in the inaugural game. The teams play in the five-team Rideau Division. Brockville doubled the visitors 6-3. Nicholas Pilon and Bradley Hamilton led the winners with a goal and an assist each. Tikis dominated offensively, outshooting their opponents 32-15.

The other entries in the five team Rideau loop are defending champion Athens Aeros, perennial division winners Westport Rideaus and Gananoque Islanders.

Besides Arnprior the six team Valley Division includes Almonte Thunder, Perth Blue Wings, Stittsville Royals, Renfrew Timberwolves and Shawville (Quebec) Pontiacs.

The five team Metro (city) Division is comprised of Ottawa West Golden Knights, Ottawa Junior Canadians, Clarence Creek Beavers, Metcalfe Jets and Gatineau Mustangs based in Buckingham, Quebec. Mustangs were last season’s division champions.

There are also six sides in the St. Lawrence Division.

Among them is defending division and league champion Casselman Vikings along with Akwesasne Wolves, Morrisburg Lions, Winchester Hawks, Char-Lan Rebels from Williamstown and Alexandria Glens.

The Valley and Metro Division make up one conference while the Rideau and St. Lawrence is also combined.

Teams in the respective conferences play most of their regular season contests within their own division. But they also crossover for some interlocking games.

In the playoffs the Valley and Metro winners meet in one league semi-final while the Rideau and St. Lawrence champions face-off in the other. The survivors meet for the right to hoist the D. Arnold Carson Memorial Trophy emblematic of EOJHL supremacy.

Last season Casselman skated past Gatineau in the overall league final.

Perth wins big Valley Division action began Friday night with all six Valley entries doing battle against each other.

In Perth Friday the host Blue Wings lathered visiting Almonte 11-2 with Shawn McGillivary leading the offence with two goals and two assists. Veterans Brett Madigan and Riley Kane had a goal and three helpers each while Blair Barr and Mike Smyth chipped in with two markers apiece.

Kyle Killeen had a goal and an assist for Thunder in the penalty-marred season opener!

In other inaugural action Friday host Renfrew downed county rival Arnprior 7-4 while Stittsville doubled Shawville 4-2 in a contest played in Aylmer, Quebec.

Sunday afternoon Perth was beaten 7-3 at home by Ottawa West in their first interlocking game of the campaign.

Golden Knights jumped out to a 5-0 lead before Blue Wings responded in period two. It was 7-1 when the hosts rallied with two late markers in the third period to make it a little more respectable.

Veteran Ryan Sterling led Ottawa West with two goals.

McGillivary, Smyth and Tyler Coyles were the Perth goalgetters.

In other games Sunday it was visiting Arnprior edging Stittsville 4-3. Renfrew was blanked 2-0 by Gatineau in Buckingham while Shawville fell 6-1 to Clarence Creek, also on the road.

Almonte visits Arnprior Friday while Perth will travel to Shawville. Sunday afternoon Blue Wings host Packers at 1:45 while at 2:30 Almonte will be in Stittsville.

Four hundred year-old comedy to hit Carleton Place stage sion of one of his plays is reimagined for yet another cinematic treatment. Part of his secret, of course, is that not only do audiences like seeing the plays, but actors love performing in them.

The tradition of acting Shakespeare continues this year in Carleton Place, as well, as the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre brings the wellloved Much Ado About Nothing to the Town Hall Stage.

Among the young actors cutting their teeth on the Bard are newcomer Molly Cooney,

who plays the young romantic lass named Hero; Cristian Bowie, who played the First Murderer in last year’s Macbeth, plays Claudio, the object of Hero’s affection; Katie Irvine, who played Ruth in last year’s Mudds Youth production of Pirates of Penzance Jr. as Hero’s mother Leonata; and Jack Cruise – Macbeth himself – broadening his range and taking a romantic and comedic turn playing the dashing prince Don Pedro.

Director Mark Piper is obviously very proud of his

young cast. “I don’t know how I got so lucky, finding 13 talented teenagers like this, who give up two nights a week to come and rehearse this play, not counting the time they spend at home working on their characters. Oh, yes, you bet I’m having fun – watching these young geniuses make this play their own. It’s a joy just to watch them work.”

But it’s obvious the young actors are having fun too despite their hard work. So if you’re ready to enjoy watching a group of actors, all un-

There will be three performances. Friday, Oct. 19 at 7 pm and Saturday, Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets, $10, are on sale now at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce, 132 Coleman Street.

EMC Events - This year’s Pet Lover’s Expo held Sept. 29 in Merrickville welcomes attendees to jump in and get their hands -and paws - into the fundraising efforts for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS).

“We’re hoping we’ll be able to raise some money to help them keep the doors open,” said Michelle Green, member of the event’s organizing committee.

Organizers hope to add $5,000 to LAWS budget sheets after this event is over. The fifth annual fundraiser at the Merrickville Community Centre has a day full of activity for area families and their furry friends, including some new additions your dog will flip over.

Throughout the course of the event (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) a dog rally will be set up on the grounds where pets and their owners can try their paws at some agility moves.

“It’s a good experience to see how well your dog responds to commands on leash,” Green said.

Favourite expo events such as the pet fashion show will be returning for the day by popular demand. As well, the best trick and pet look alike contests will be returning with a $5 entry fee.

Get into the spirit early by submitting your Look Alike photo today. Simply log on to the event website (www.petloverexpo. com) and select the contest link to the left then follow the links to submit your photo. Judges and the voting public will select this year’s mirror image pair! Best Trick will be taking place that day, but registration can be done online. The area’s most talented pups will be judged Sat. Sept. 29 on their smarts by radio personality, Sandy Sharkey of BOB FM. “The fact that you can bring your pet is a really nice thing,” Green said of the expo.

Pets of all kinds will be making their way to the community centre in Merrickville later this month for the fun and educational offerings to be had during the expo. Judy Tennant of Parrot Partner in Carleton Place will be in attendance to speak to the audience about the realities of parrot ownership.

“It’s an awareness of the pros and cons of owning a parrot,” Tennant said of her presentation.

Some might not know that vet bills for parrots are significantly higher than traditional pets due to the lack of information available on them medically. However, parrots are extremely intelligent pets and can be best handled with positive reinforcement techniques and not force. Attend Tennant’s presentation Sept. 29 at the Pet Lover’s Expo to find out more! Everyone is welcome to head out to the Merrickville Community Centre later this month and celebrate the positive impact your pet has on your life by ensuring pets without a home still receive care at LAWS. A general admission of $5 does apply.

The Pet Lover’s website speaks to the incredible impact having a pet in your life can have on the health of you and those around you.

A Cambridge University study found that pet ownership resulted in fewer ailments and that these results could be seen in as little as one month. Pets also have a lot to give to children in the household by teaching them to care for others and consider others feelings.

der 20 years old, embrace the tradition of the actor’s craft, and fearlessly take on a comedy that’s over 400 years old, you’re ready for the Mudds Youth Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.

Cheers, and All in the Family all rolled into one. In a time when bear baiting was considered popular entertainment, William Shakespeare drew people from all classes and walks of life into the theatre to enjoy his sophisticated wordplay and character-based humour.

And he continues to bring in the audiences four hundred years later, both on stage - witness the popularity of Canada’s own Stratford Festival - and on screen – it seems that every year some new ver-

EMC News - When people think of Shakespeare, they usually think of the great tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and King Lear. And to tell the truth, most actors would rather bust their dramatic chops on a good scene-chewing tragic hero – doing comedy just doesn’t seem serious somehow.

But in his day, the Bard was loved for his comedies.

In the year 1600, he was the age’s greatest writer of situation comedies. Shakespeare’s plays were Seinfeld, MASH,

Special cats at LAWS need special homes EMC Lifestyle – The following is regular column from the Lanark Animal Welfare Society.

Reggie is an orange and white tabby “Tom Cat” of approximately 4 years of age.

He craves attention and he loves his buddies at the shelter but what he would love most is a home where he can perch himself and look outside his own very private window.

life at the shelter… He has not enjoyed much freedom in his life yet. Lately, Mitch and Casa Nova have found each other and have found comfort in each other. It’s heartwarming and amusing to watch the two of them groom each other and play together and yes, they are a lot of fun to play with!

ball came from a loving home but circumstances changed and the owner had to surrender him. He is just longing for that one person to take him to a forever home again. Furball is friendly, clean and loves other cats as he has lived with other feline friends before.

Kramer is a black and white Tuxedo Domestic Short Hair male with striking eyes and long white whiskers. Come and visit Kramer in the cat condo, sit on a chair and see who will be the first to jump in your lap… Like most of our cats, he just wants a place to call home! Can you see this handsome boy in your home?

Furball is a 10 year old long haired brown Tabby who needs regular grooming. Fur-

Frenchie is a very shy but very lovable white with tan Domestic Shorthair male cat with beautiful blue eyes. Unfortunately, we don’t know what has happened to Frenchie in his previous life… He’s terribly fearful but definitely not aggressive when you pick him up. He seeks the confine of his cage for security and is showing evident signs of depression. We feel that he needs a loving home where someone

calm, gentle and patient will take the time to help him build up his confidence. We believe that he can learn to trust people again. He wants to be loved and cuddled, but in a very gentle soothing manner.

Although Frenchie is showing some progress with people, we know that he desperately needs a foster home or better, a forever home that would allow him to show his true colours.

Please come and visit this spe-

cial, beautiful boy. He needs your help and compassion…

Foster home needed Tigger is a wonderful 12 year old grey and white Domestic Shorthair Tabby who is currently looking for a foster home. Tigger has been through a lot in the past months... He lost his home due to unforeseen circumstances and then he was diagnosed with diabetes. However, despite the odds, Tigger continues to be optimistic about life... He waits for the day when he

Lanark Animal Welfare Society has reached capacity and needs your help. We are looking for safe, loving environments for friendly cats and dogs until they can be adopted into forever homes. Fostering can last anywhere from a few days to several months and all animal care costs are covered.

This program offers animals a healthy alternative to shelter life and increases their opportunities for adoption. An animal in need is waiting for you!

Stockwood performs in Perth EMC Events - While Kim Stockwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world spills out well beyond the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador, she is anchored heart and soul to this place. She seeks out what is special here and searches for a voice that will reflect her longing and love for the province. One way she has found to capture that voice is to go Back To The Water.

When she left her beloved native spot 18 years ago she could not have known the paths she would travel or the heights she would scale.

Stockwood is an accomplished artist on many fronts, from singer to songwriter to television host and radio personality. These things she does with humor, grace, and class.

Her hit songs, her awards and accolades, her solo work and her work with Shaye, have seen her mature as an artist.

Her wealth of experience and her longing for home have laid the foundation for Back To The Water.

This album is filled with the sound and fury of a place that surges upward with a fist of rock and grabs life from the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air. The album is enriched and enlivened by Newfoundland musical luminaries and session players who would shame the Nashville Scene. It is a great source of pride for Stockwood to have her wonderful dad play with her.

The power of the sea can be heard here, roaring beneath Stockwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soaring vocals.

The album, Back To The Water, is indeed a musical trip through the beating heart of the province. Surrounded by water, yes, her place is made rigid by granite pillars like those Cliffs of Baccalieu that Kim navigates so beautifully as she dances among the tunes of her native land.

Kim has chosen her songs carefully, with the romance of the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waltz held arms length against the everlasting anguish of Atlantic Blue.

27. But the entire month is special for customers and staff members. There was a buzz of excitement in the showroom and at the service counter when the EMC visited last Tuesday. Smiling faces are the norm at Carleton Ford. That is especially true at this special time for the business!

available at Carleton Ford during this special month, vehicles on the lot will carry stickers showing the old prices and the new.

“This is a big month for us and a great time for people to come here and see what we have to offer,” Matt says.

Mike offers even more reassurance for buyers, noting that none of the vehicles sold at Carleton Place have ever been involved in any kind of collision.

“We sell only non-accidented vehicles.”

Customers will be impressed by the appearance of the dealership which underwent a major facelift earlier this year.

Owners Mike and Glenda Pitre and their 23-member staff are already well known for their excellent customer service.

“We’re among the top ten per cent in Canada for customer satisfaction,” says Mike, president of the Carleton Place Ford dealership which has served the district since 1983.

Carleton Ford Sales is located on Highway 7, just west of McNeely Avenue and east of the junction of Highways 7 and 15.

“It took from February to May to complete,” Glenda notes.

“But we are thrilled with the outcome.”

This month the Pitre’s and their sales team are intent on putting even bigger smiles on clients’ faces.

The Pitre’s stress the innovative renovation was completed using all local tradesmen and businesses.

“New vehicle buyers already receive a five year warranty as well as a two-year total maintenance plan,” Mike observes. “The maintenance package includes oil, filters and all of Ford’s recommended service.

Carleton Ford is a proud member of the Carleton Place business community and besides providing outstanding service to their valued customers the firm also supports the hospital foundations in both Carleton Place and Almonte along with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County.

They also support the Lanark Branch of the Navy League of Canada which operates two Sea Cadets Corps based in Carleton Place.

“If you buy a new vehicle from us in September we are also offering three years of oil changes,” the company president stresses.

Carleton Ford is a major seller of used vehicles. During the grand re-opening used vehicle purchasers will receive a six month “premium care” warranty from the new-look Carleton Place dealership.

“That is a full coverage warranty,” Mike underlines.

“We back all of our vehicles!”

The firm’s sales and business manager Matt Trueman says that to emphasize the deals

‘Green’ business Mike says the firm is a “state-of-the-art business” which has also “gone green”.

The renovation features eco-friendly flooring and new LED exterior lighting that “helps reduce energy consumption and allows for brighter viewing at night.”

The firm is a 25-time recipient of Ford’s prestigious President’s Award which goes to dealerships who provide outstanding customer service and satisfaction. In 2011 Carleton Ford Sales was honoured to be named to the Ford President’s Award Diamond Club in recognition of their excellence in sales and service.

At Carleton Ford the emphasis is on pleasing customers.

Ford’s new line of vehicles continues to be popular. But there is also an increased focus on used cars, trucks and SUVs. “We will buy your existing vehicle at or above market value, even if you don’t buy our vehicle,” Mike states.

“If you are thinking about another car, think about Carleton Ford when it comes to selling your existing vehicle,” he adds.

Mike says the aim is to “put money in the customer’s pocket” rather than a vehicle auction service.

“The bottom line is we want to buy your trade-in even if you don’t buy from us.”

Mike states that like all Ford dealerships “we live and breathe the business 12 months a year.”

Sales manager Matt Trueman is also the company’s credit manager. The sales team includes veteran used car manager Duffy Pettes and sales consultants Ken Laszlo and Paul Marcil.

Judy Pallister is the service manager at Carleton Ford and Paul Bronsard is the service advisor. Also assisting at the service desk is the Pitre’s daughter Stacey who is the firm’s customer retention clerk.

Their son Chris Pitre works alongside Gary Sauve, Manager and Rick Morris in the parts department.

EMC Lifestyle - We have been working very hard on our gardens; our leaders Bev and Martin Savard have opened their home and garden to us.

The members of the club are Amy Kehoe, Ashley Gale, Avery Dowdall, Breanna Lunn, Elizabeth Dowdall, Jessica Savard and Zoey Read-Stafford. At our first meeting, we talked about basic gardening and planted tomato seeds in peat pots, and then we learned how to test our soil so we would have a better garden. Each of us tried a piece of sun choke.

At the second meeting, we learned how to prepare the garden beds for planting and learned how to plant different seeds. We got to try tasting dried garlic chips.

The third meeting we learned to make homemade strawberry jam, strawberry mousse and spaghetti squash – Yummy!

At our fourth meeting we made scarecrows, rain gauges and manure tea for our garden, Yuck!

The club members enjoyed making delicious salsa with our garden produce. We loved using the salsa on our quesadillas.

We also enjoyed making homemade garden soap.

Even though we had such a dry year we have fun growing and learning together!

There are many more types of exercise classes offered in your area; yoga, kettlebells, boot camps, Pilates and more. Most fitness studios or gyms are happy to offer a free class for you to try out. The most important thing is to find an activity that will keep you coming back.

You are much more likely to stick to a fitness regimen that you actually have fun practicing!

If your love affair with that indispensable treadmill is running stale, consider sprucing up your fitness regimen with innovative and fun workouts that promise not only to blast fat but also put the fun back into your cardio workouts. There are many options out there so the key is to find that perfect class that suits both your physical abilities and fitness goals as well as your personality. Here are some ideas to inspire you: 1-Piloxing: PILOXING is an exciting, new inter-disciplinary program that is attracting die hard followers including Hollywood celebrities and international stars. It uniquely mixes Pilates and boxing moves into a fat torching, muscle sculpting, core-centric interval workout, guaranteed to whip you into shape, using a class format that’s both fun and challenging. Piloxing instructors are certified by the Piloxing Academy in California.

2-Zumba: Zumba is a dance-inspired aerobic workout also taught by licensed instructors. It is hugely popular and is presented more as a dance party than a fitness workout. But don’t be fooled, you’re going to get a total body workout while you move to the sounds a various music styles. Many studios offer Zumba classes so it’s convenient to find a class near you.

3-Cardio Kickboxing: Cardio kickboxing was originally made popular by American fitness guru Billy Blank and his Tae-Bo brand. It is a high intensity cardio workout that incorporates moves from various martial arts disciplines. It can be practiced with our without weighted gloves, which are readily available at most sporting goods stores.

4-Fitness Kickboxing: Fitness kickboxing is often confused for cardio kickboxing but it is different in that generally speaking, fitness kickboxing is done with a partner using focus pads and boxing gloves or hand wraps. It is a contact discipline, unlike cardio kickboxing. In Canada, instructors are certified by Fitness Kickboxing Canada.

5-Indoor Cycling: Commonly referred to as “spinning,” it is a form of exercise class focusing on endurance, strength, intervals, high intensity (race days) and recovery, that involve using a special stationary exercise bicycle. Riders synchronize their pedaling to be in time with

My Plexus Journey Prior to discovering Plexus Slim I had tried every weight loss product that I could find. I tried one that helped me lose 110 lbs, but during the process I developed an eating disorder. Once I went off their program I gained 90 lbs back in a short period of time. I was battling with severe depression, my doctor classified me as morbidly obese, I had high blood pressure and was a boarder-line diabetic. I was slowly killing myself with food and lack of exercise.

One day while on Facebook I was searching for different weight loss groups and products and I found a lady advertising Plexus Slim, she told me that it was the easiest product she had ever tried. I bought a 3 day sample from her. I immediately felt a difference! I loved the energy that it gave me.

Currently I have lost 88 lbs and 45”, I am off all of my medication and my blood pressure is the same as it was in high school.

Financially Plexus has also made a huge impact on my life. I don’t live pay check to pay check anymore. Last year I qualified for the Leader’s retreat in Florida but I couldn’t afford the air fare. This year I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to New Orleans for the Opportunity of a Lifetime Convention, without any financial worries. Now I am looking forward to building or buying my dream home with my Plexus Commissions.

Thank you Dave Brown for developing such an amazing product that saved my life! And thanks to Plexus Worldwide for making it possible for me to be a part of something so great. It has changed my life!

Posture... Crucial to your health!

Posture is not simply a matter of sitting or standing up straight, but rather is defined as the position of each of the various parts of the body with respect to each other for the purpose of proper function.

As soon as a child begins to stand upright, you can begin to look for signs of improper postural alignment. Shifts in position of the head, shoulder or hip can be seen as soon as a child is weight bearing. As children grow up, play sports, play video games, read, text and watch TV, troublesome postural habits due to chronic improper positions or from falls and injuries can develop.

In response, the body will typically begin to adapt to the improper alignment and cause postural deviations that you can see. These can include a tilting of the head, a low shoulder, a lower hip, in turn or out turned feet. These postural changes are a signal of an underlying problem and generally in children there will be no discomfort or symptoms. As the child grows and these misalignments are not corrected, they will become more evident in the teen / young adult years.

Upper back tension, headaches, menstrual problems, constipation, breathing difficulty, sports performance plateaus and low back pain to name a few. As this young adult ages, and perhaps takes various medications for the symptoms and never corrects the spinal misalignments causing the health problems, they can become one of the many seniors with poor balance and muscle tone, the leading cause of fractures in seniors.

Clearly the best defense is early detection. That’s why it’s important to have your children and teens screened. So many adults go through life medicating pain and various health concerns/symptoms, meanwhile they are unknowingly ‘comfortably degenerating’ on the inside. Not listening to our body signals unfortunately will catch up with us at some point in time, unfortunately for many it is in their senior years.

A Doctor of Chiropractic is the only healthcare professional that is trained in the early detection and correction of spinal mis-alignments, postural deviations and vertebral subluxations. Our focus is on postural correction and spinal reconstruction. “Look to the spine for the cause and prevention of disease” Submitted by Almonte Chiropractic Centre

Norwegian Gold Ultimate Fish Oils are sourced from sustainable wild and unthreatened fish that are found in cold, pristine waters and are naturally lower in environmental toxins such as: mercury, PCB’s and pesticides.

The distillation process eliminates any heavy metals, PCB’s, and impurities from the fish oil, as well as separating most of the saturated fat which allows for a better concentration of EPA and DHA

You have probably heard the term ‘Omega 3’ as it is being added to many foods; from juice to cereal to yogurt. But what is Omega 3 and why do we need it? Omega 3 is a type of Essential Fatty Acids; a natural substance your body needs to establish and maintain overall wellbeing. It is called an Essential Fatty Acids because it is ‘essential to life’. The body does not produce EFA’s on its own, so they must be consumed from food sources such as raw nuts, raw seeds and fish.

Was bread’s namesake Anna really lazy?

EMC Lifestyle - If you’ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, you’re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name.

One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna.

She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding.

Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire to bake.

All the time, he kept muttering, “Anna, damn her!”

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

I don’t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once you’ve tasted this bread machine version, you’ll make it often.

Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Anadama bread is very light in texture, brown in color and slightly

sweet in flavour. It goes well with almost any meal, but I particularly like to serve it with chili or soup. This bread keeps well and stays fairly moist for about two days.

Anadama Bread 2/3 cup water 2 tbsp. cornmeal

1 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine 2 tbsp. molasses 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. bread machine yeast Measure the ingredients into your bread machine in the order given. Start it, using either the Delay or Regular cycle.

When the bread is done, remove it from the baking pan, and set it on a wire rack for about one hour to cool before slicing.

This recipe makes a small loaf, ideal for 2 to 4 people.

Last direct link to famous First World War pilot is gone EMC Lifestyle - It was with great sadness that I learned last week of the death of Margaret Harmon, the last surviving child of Captain Arthur ‘Roy’ Brown, the Carleton Place pilot credited with shooting down arguably the most famous wartime airman of all time, Baron Manfred von Richthofen.

I got to know Margaret late in her life. She made several visits to her father’s hometown to attend activities related to her Dad and one of the most incredible incidents of the First World War involving a Canadian.

Brown’s fateful clash with Richthofen in 1918 is the stuff of legend. It was the young Canadian pilot who lived to tell the tale, although his part in the death of the most prolific ace of the First World War haunted him for the rest of his short life.

His oldest child Margaret was a delightful person. A vivacious lady with an incredible sense of recall and a great appreciation for history, especially her father’s part in it.

She adored her dad and was pleased to see that steps are finally being taken in Carleton Place to immortalize his part in the very interesting story of flight. A museum, a statue and perhaps even a permanent model of Brown’s Sopwith Camel aircraft are all in the works. I am privileged to be a founding member of the Roy Brown Society, the group who are working to give him and others the recognition they deserve.

Outside of an historic plaque in a Carleton Place park and a few photos in places such as the local museum, there are no permanent tributes to Brown in his hometown. The current process should have taken place years ago. No one is at fault. The failure to celebrate Brown’s life and achievements is typically Canadian to be honest.

Controversy Some will say that is because of “the controversy” which continues to dog (no, I don’t mean Snoopy) Brown’s aerial victory over Richthofen, the man an American pulp fiction writer later dubbed “The Red Baron.”

As a result of that nickname, as much as anything else, it is the Baron and not Brown who remains world famous.

The Australians say one of their machine gunners on the ground fired the machine gun bullet that ended the life of the WW I flyer with the most victories. Richthofen was credited with 80 “kills” during his brief, but illustrious, career as a fighter pilot.

Margaret Harmon was an American. Well, she held dual citizenship but spent most of her life living in the U.S. She died in Sun City, Arizona on Sept. 2, less than a year after suffering a serious stroke. Her death breaks the last direct family connection to Roy Brown and one of the most famous occurrences in the history of aerial combat.

In October 2009, during her last visit to Carleton Place, I had the pleasure of conducting a comprehensive interview with Margaret. She came here to discuss details about how artifacts of her father’s, which she kindly donated to the Roy Brown Society, will be used when the displays in his memory are established. That will happen within a few months.

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

“It was his actions which led to the Baron’s death,” his daughter said defiantly. She fairly bristled at the mere mention of Australian ground gunners.

Margaret never doubted the influence of her father in terms of the events which occurred on Sunday, April 21, 1918 in the skies above war-torn France.

“If Dad hadn’t flown to the aid of Wop May (his squadron mate) none of it would have happened,” she stated.

Wilfred ‘Wop’ May was being pursued by the bright red tri-plane with Richthofen at the controls. His squadron leader Brown dove to his assistance.

The rest is history!

In Carleton Place there is no question Capt. Brown was the victor that day. He was officially credited with bringing down the Baron. That’s more than good enough for those of us who live here. Case closed!

Oddly it also became part of one of the most famous comic strips in history, Snoopy by the late Charles Schulz. A Florida band, the Royal Guardsmen, followed Schulz’s lead, recording two extremely fictional songs about Snoopy and the Red Baron.

The real life occurrence is part of the incredible story of early manned flight. After all the Wright Brothers winged their way into history less than 15 years before Brown’s encounter with Richthofen!

Margaret Harmon marveled more at her father’s part in the history of flight than she did about his brief duel with Richthofen. Her Dad spent the rest of his life trying to avoid the subject of the Baron. Roy Brown was saddened to have played the prominent role in Richthofen’s death. He certainly never bragged about it!

In the First World War, the first pilots acted as observers for ground troops. One day someone took a pistol aloft and suddenly the scene shifted to aerial combat. It quickly evolved to the point where flyers were chasing and shooting at each other with machine guns.

Short life-span Obviously flying itself was a very dangerous undertaking considering the quality (or lack of same) of early aircraft. Add the dangers inherent for wartime pilots and their life span was very limited.

“A pilot’s average time in the air (before being shot down) was two weeks,” Margaret told me.

Roy Brown was nearly killed in a crash in England in July 1918.

As a result his general health was so badly affected he never flew following the war.

“Dad didn’t talk a lot about his war-time experiences,” she says. Not even his fateful meeting with Richthofen in April 1918. “But there is one story he told me that I will never forget,” she stated. “He fell out of an airplane. Well – not completely of course.”

Harmon told me her Dad lost control of his aircraft during an

aerial duel with an enemy pilot.

The aircraft turned turtle, rolling over but continuing to fly straight ahead. “He was held in by his straps and finally managed to fight his way back into the (pilot’s) seat.”

Brown regained control of the Sopwith Camel and resumed his battle with the Ger-

man pilot.

The enemy airman, apparently mesmerized by Brown’s upside down maneuvering, paused just long enough for the Canadian to gain the initiative.

“He hesitated and Dad shot him down.”

Another German pilot who witnessed the encounter apparently thought it had all been part of Brown’s plan of attack.

“He later said he had ‘never seen stunt flying like that,’” she laughed.

The war and the crash took a terrible toll on Brown. “At 35 he looked like a 60-year-old,” his daughter noted.

Regardless, he showed the kind of determination that served him so well as a younger man and war-time fighter ace.

Brown is credited with downing 12 enemy aircraft, none more famous than Richthofen however!

Brown died on March 9, 1944, at age 50, as a direct result of his war injuries.

Now his last surviving child is gone. Margaret had an interesting and very full life. She was married twice and had four children by her second husband.

Three survive along with five grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.

It is now up to our organization, with the assistance of other surviving family members, to make sure her father’s incredible story is told in his hometown. It would be nice to see the occurrence get more national attention as well, especially in the Canadian War Museum.

The good news is that the displays in Carleton Place are nearly ready. Sadly Margaret Harmon did not live to see the museum dedicated to her father’s life and exploits!

GET MORE FOR YOUR TRADE THIS WEEK AND GET THE NEW VEHICLES YOU REALLY WANT! CARLETON PLACE – “Frankly put, it’s a trader’s market! It’s harder than ever to find good used vehicles to put on our lot,” says Mike Pitre from Carleton Ford in Carleton Place.

CARLETON FORD Mike is writing cheques to customers and wondering, “How will I find more pre-owned cars to buy from people in this Trader’s market?”

““IF IF YOU U OWN OWN A VEHICLE VEHICLEE OF ANY MAKE AND MODEL I AM BEGGING YOU TO BRING IT IN SO I CAN BUY IT FROM YOU!”

“I’m willing to pay top dollar for your trade-in even if you don’t buy a vehicle from us. If you have a vehicle a couple of years old, even if you still owe money on it… bring it to me and let me make you an offer to buy you out so you can get something better.”

Local residents have been flocking to Carleton Ford on Highway 7 in Carleton Place for over a month now to find out what their car is worth.

It’s predicted the inventory shortage will last till the end of May.

GET YOUR $1000 UPGRADE ALLOWANCE VOUCHER Read This Now – If you have an existing vehicle you’re even thinking about trading in within the next 12 to 24 months, you owe it to yourself to let Mike and his team at Carleton Ford make you an offer.

“Most people will get much more for their trade-in this month at Carleton Ford than at any other time in the next 12 months. We’re expecting a lot of pre-owned vehicles to become available in 30-40 days, and at that time, the trader’s market will be over. It will be back to business as usual.”

CP Cinemas closes doors; upgrades costly

Inside

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Business – The end.

Ernie Rowe closed the doors of CP Cinemas in Carleton Place on Sept. 7. He has operated the Albert Street theatre for five years.

“I am unable to switch from 35 mm film, an industry standard for 80-plus years, to digital,” he said.

The new format is cheaper for both studios and distributors.

would phase out 35 mm film altogether by the end of 2013, and other production companies are expected to follow suit.

“I knew this day was coming,” Rowe said.

The changeover, which would involve new production equipment, computers and a sound system, would cost the businessman no less than $120,000 for his two screens.

“And if I did switch, by See END page A/CP2

Victory Tree dedication ceremony at Riverside Park Sept. 27

EMC News – A special dedication ceremony is scheduled for next Thursday afternoon, Sept. 27 in Riverside Park as the Victory Tree Program in Carleton Place reaches a much-anticipated conclusion.

The initiative, coordinated

by Carleton Place Coun. Rob Probert, will be completed with a series of tree plantings on school and public property across Carleton Place.

When the project is complete a total of 94 Autumn Blaze Maples will have been planted to commemorate the 94 local victims of three 20th century conflicts. Their names

Team

are engraved on the town Cenotaph in Memorial Park, adjacent to the public library.

The program officially began on July 1, 2011 when a tree was planted in Riverside Park in memory of Private James Herbert McKittrick.

The 31 year-old Carleton Place resident was killed in action on Dec. 7, 1943 during the Battle of the Moro River in Italy. He was a member of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada and was one of more than 500 Canadians killed in action in Italy during December 1943 alone.

McKittrick is buried in Moro River Canadian War

Cemetery, which contains the graves of 1,615 Commonwealth dead from the Second World War, including 50 who were never identified.

An account of his life and war service can be found in the 2004 book Fathers, Brothers and Sons by Carleton Place author Larry Gray.

The book outlines the stories of the town’s Second World War dead. Gray’s earlier volume We Are the Dead relates details about the lives of Carleton Place’s Great War (First World War) victims.

All of the town’s war dead will soon be honoured with the planting of a maple tree in

their memory.

McKittrick was one of six brothers from the same family to enlist and serve their country during the Second World War. He was the only one who didn’t return.

The Canada Day 2011 ceremony was particularly moving for members of the McKittrick family, especially Kyle McKittrick who originally approached Carleton Place council with the tree planting idea.

Major grant The program will conclude successfully thanks to a $15,000 grant received under

the TD Green Streets Program sponsored by Toronto Dominion Bank, in concert with the national organization Tree Canada. The grant was formally announced during a Carleton Place council meeting in April.

Probert had originally anticipated several years of fundraising to reach the goal of planting 94 trees.

With the funds in hand a decision was made to distribute the maple trees to each of the Carleton Place schools and Probert says, “All of the schools quickly agreed to See TREE page A/CP2 R0011332509_0329

He noted there would almost certainly be a comparable upgrading in a few years as technology advances.

Going forward, Rowe will continue to run the building (a former church), which accommodates a few outlets on the top floor, including Ashton Station Bridal and Static Salon. What’s more, a monthly foreign film club will carry on.

As for the two basement

cinemas – 67 seats and 99 seats – he suggested a training centre or high-end auction house.

“Knock the wall out, combine the two spaces and level the floor on one side,” he commented. “The estimated $10,000 changeover might be feasible.”

On the other hand, the building is for sale, if the right buyer wanted to take over.

“Each school will, in effect, be adopting and honouring a selection of names from the Cenotaph in this manner,” he observes.

Probert says each school will hold its own ceremony to plant the trees. However the main dedication will take place at 1:30 p.m. next Thursday in Riverside Park.

The park site is just west of Carleton Place High School (CPHS). The CPHS student body will be in attendance along with staff, council members and invited guests.

“Members of the public are absolutely welcome to attend,” Probert stresses.

“Veterans and descendants of those being honoured are most welcome.”

McCready, who is also the chair of the council-mandated Urban Forest River Corridor Advisory Committee in Carleton Place, says it is important to have a mix of communities achieving success in the TD Green Streets Program.

The Victory Tree program was a commitment made by Carleton Place council in 2011 as another means to honour the memory of those from the community who gave their lives during two World Wars and the Korean War. A total of 47 local residents, including one woman, died while serving Canada during the First World War. An additional 46, including Pvt. McKittrick, gave their lives in the Second World War. One Carleton Place man, pilot Buddy Foxton, died in service during the Korean War.

Canadians drop home opener as Bears complete first weekend sweep of locals

By JEFF MAGUIRE

EMC Sports – The Smiths Falls Bears spoiled the party for the Carleton Place Canadians Saturday.

In fact they ruined the entire weekend for the locals and their fans.

Following a successful afternoon tailgate party outside the community centre, during which the 2012-2013 edition of the team was introduced, the Canadians went inside where they dropped a 4-2 decision to the Bears.

Smiths Falls the night before celebrated their own home opener, doubling Carleton Place by the same score.

The “twin killing” at the hands of the Bears dropped the Canadians’ early season Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) record to 3-2.

The Bears, meanwhile, have charged out of their den!

After a terrible start to last season they currently have a 4-1 record. The eight points is not only good for the Robinson Division lead, but it is the highest total in the 12-team CCHL. Smiths Falls has started the new schedule strong and the weekend sweep of their archrivals from Carleton Place is also significant for another reason. Since the Canadians became the CCHL’s newest entry in the fall of 2009 they have dominated the Bears. The teams have played several back-to-back games in an effort to build interest and fan support for their “Highway 15” rivalry. The weekend sweep represents a first for the Bears.

EMC Sports – On Saturday, Sept. 15, outside the Carleton Place and District Community Centre complex, a tailgate party kicked off the start of the Carleton Place Jr. A Canadians’ season. The festivities included a game of street hockey enjoyed by some of the club’s young fans. sons Carleton Place compiled an impressive 13-5 record against Smiths Falls including a 4-2 mark last season.

Respects opponent Smiths Falls head coach Mark Grady has nothing but respect for Carleton Place, a team that has excelled since joining the Tier 1 Junior A league four years ago.

“Clarkey (Canadians’ head coach Jason Clarke) runs an excellent program in Carleton Place,” he says. “We were lucky on the weekend. We caught them when they were missing some guys (due to injury). It could be very different the next time. I thought we played very well in the tournament (opening showcase Sept. 7 to 9) and yet we only had an overtime win to show for it.”

The Bears got past Cumberland 6-5 in OT on Sept. 8

in Kanata.

“We scored 12 goals in the tournament and had 12 scored against us,” says Grady. “We did better last week (three wins in as many games). But obviously we still have a lot of work to do.”

Smiths Falls has sparkled on offence ringing up a CCHL leading 25 goals in five outings to date. They have also surrendered 18, the highest total in the league.

“It’s a much better start than last year though,” says Grady, tongue-in-cheek.

His Bears hibernated through the beginning of the last campaign going winless in seven games.

“Consistency is what we are looking for this year,” he says. “There are going to be peaks and valleys. Over half the team is 17 and 18 (years of age).”

“Starting strong is good,”

the veteran junior hockey coach states. “But this is September. It’s really early. A lot will happen over the course of a 62-game campaign. We’ve played some decent hockey.

But we’ve got to get a lot better.”

The Bears win in Carleton Place Saturday was thanks mainly to the work of veteran goalie Patrick Martin. He kicked out 32 shots to give Smiths Falls their first home and home sweep against their division rivals.

The visitors improvised a win despite being out chanced 34-21 and out played territorially. Smiths Falls led 2-1 and 3-2 at the intervals.

Chris Maniccia, Michael Buonincontri and rookie defenceman Peter Soligo each contributed a goal and one assist.

Large rent debt closes Ponticello’s Italian restaurant desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC Business – The debt woes that have bedeviled the owners of Ponticello Trattoria in Carleton Place have finally caught up with them.

Still dealing with outstanding debts to local businesses and former employees, the final nail in the restaurant’s coffin came in late July when landlords Jack and Marcia Taylor notified owners Pietro and Kim Anselmo that they were in breach of their August 2011 lease because of rent arrears totalling $9,040, according to a notice posted on the front door of the 157

Bridge St. restaurant, which has since closed down.

The signage has since been removed, and the old sandwich board that used to advertise daily specials on the sidewalk – which was visible through the locked front door – still bearing advertising for a competition to win a trip to Italy.

The “Notice of Termination of Lease,” was dated July 27, based on what was termed a “breach of covenant” on the Aug. 3, 2011 lease.

However, another restaurant may yet be taking up residence at the site. A sign

in the window noted that applications are being accepted for a new restaurant – likely to be called The Bridge Bistro – for chef, server and dishwasher positions.

This past spring, several former employees of Ponticello Trattoria picketed the restaurant, saying that they had not been paid for outstanding owed wages.

Pietro said that he had been waiting on word of several loans from area banks, though he claimed he did not know the names of the banks. He also stated that renovations to the building to make it compliant

with the fire code were also impacting his bottom line.

The restaurant was given a temporary liquor license by the town pending successful completion of the renovations.

While some employees were later paid back, the Ontario Ministry of Labour was

conducting an investigation into the restaurant regarding the outstanding wages of one other employee.

Several area businesses, like the Rental Village and Ferguson’s Graphics, were owed several thousands of dollars in unpaid debts by the restaurant.

Pietro had been involved in the restaurant and catering trade in Ottawa before setting up shop in Carleton Place last year. Even with the financial problems, the restaurant had been planning to expand into a bistro next door, and renovations had already begun.

School bus/zone safety begins with you EMC News – It is that time of year again. The days are shorter, the weather a little cooler and most importantly of all the children are heading back to school after the summer holidays. The school buses are back on the road and we have to remember the laws pertaining to school buses and the safety of our children.

Always stop for the bus Whether on a city street, highway or county road, and regardless of the speed limit and the number of lanes, motorists travelling in both directions must stop when ap-

proaching a stopped school bus with its upper red lights flashing. A flashing stop arm will swing out while passengers are boarding or leaving the bus. Once all passengers have boarded, the stop arm will fold away. Do not start moving until the red lights have stopped flashing and the bus begins to move. (Penalties for not stopping: First offence $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points and the fines increase for each subsequent offence.)

School Safety Zone Drivers should remember

that for the safety of the students there are reduced speed limits in the area of schools during school hours. Drivers also need to remember that crossing guards will be out during the beginning and end of the school day. Drivers must be aware and obey crossing guard signals and all posted traffic signs.

This is only a partial listing of the several different offences under the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) of Ontario. For further details visit www.elaws.gov.on.ca.

Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers thriving

R0011632623_0920

“We are well established there now.”

Much of the world wool supply is now marketed in China which offers cheap labour but, according to Bjergso, also has the most modern manufacturing equipment and facilities.

“Most of the mills in North America, in the United Kingdom (and elsewhere) are closed now,” he says. “We do sell some product in the States. But most of that goes to manufacture uniforms for the military.”

As for the current market he acknowledges it is soft.

“Our commodity (wool) is sensitive to global recessionary influences,” he says. “But it will come back.”

As for the recent company AGM, Bjergso is pleased

with how it went. Twenty of the company’s full-time staff of 30 work at the Carleton Place headquarters. There are also offices in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec (where next year’s AGM will be held) as well as in Cookstown (north of Toronto) and Waterloo in Ontario and in Lethbridge, Alberta. The firm also employs agents in four locations, one in the Maritimes and at three centres in western Canada.

The majority of the wool produced in Canada comes from Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. Most of that is graded and sold from the CCWG headquarters in Carleton Place.

Editor’s Note: The following is the continuation of a story by Canadian Gazette EMC freelance writer Jeff Maguire that ran in last week’s newspaper.

Eric Bjergso is the longtime general manager of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited (CCWG).

The company is the centre of the wool business in Canada.

The national cooperative grades and markets nearly three million pounds of raw wool annually, with more than 90 per cent of the activity occurring at their Carleton Place headquarters.

“We’ve renovated the old engine room (in the historic warehouse) and have installed quite a bit of railway memorabilia which is attracting a lot of attention,” he says.

The displays (a mini museum of sorts) includes railway themed merchandising units that are used to help market a line of western clothing CCWG sells in the wool shop.

“It’s quite popular,” Bjergso chuckles. “While a woman is shopping her husband can look at the railway items.”

As for the state of the business at present, he says that while the economy has negatively impacted the sale of wool, meat products related to the industry are selling very well at present.

“We’ll get back on track on the wool side,” he says, noting that the firm goes through cycles just as all businesses do.

Bjergso’s recent trip to China saw him acting as a one-man marketing arm for the Canadian wool industry.

CCWG had three agents in the populace nation and Bjergso was working with them to sell Canadian wool to Chinese manufacturing companies that now produce the bulk of wool garments and other related products sold world-wide. He attended an annual trade show and also made a number of mill visits.

Cycle tours make roads unsafe, county council told

By CHRIS MUST

EMC News – Should cyclists pay a toll to help make rural roads safer?

This was one of several suggestions from a Drummond/North Elmsley Township resident who addressed Lanark County Council Wednesday, Aug. 29 on behalf of a delegation made up of representatives of the local chamber of commerce and the Ontario Provincial Police.

Roger Loyer, who was involved in an altercation on

Tennyson Road July 21 with a participant in a large cycling tour, told council that cyclists and motorists trying to share rural roads “isn’t working.”

Loyer told the Perth Courier in early August that he was pushed and had the keys to his truck thrown into long grass by a cyclist participating in a large cycle tour that left Kanata July 21 and proceeded through rural Lanark County. He said the incident began when he asked a group of cyclists to “share the road” after having difficulty passing them in his vehicle.

At the Aug. 29 county council meeting Loyer said he wasn’t there to talk about the July 21 incident, but “about all the other incidents that have been going on for

years and years.”

Loyer said the number of large cycle tours coming to rural Canada will only increase in the future. “History tells us that (problems) don’t go away, they just get worse,” he said.

Loyer said his intention is not shut the tours down, but to find ways to ensure safety.

“It’s getting to be very dangerous out there,” said Loyer.

“We have to find a way that works for everybody. Right now it’s not working.”

In his presentation Loyer quoted from a letter to the editor of the Courier written by fellow Drummond/North Elmsley resident Jennifer Jilks. In her letter Jilks said she was “absolutely frightened” driving on Lanark County roads July 21 and

was not surprised there was an incident. “The drivers were as bad as those biking,” wrote Jilks, stating that she had to pull off onto gravel as oncoming cars went over the centre lines to pass bicycles.

“Those of us who follow the rules of the road do not want to be afraid on our roads.”

Rural roads in the county are narrow and are used by local residents doing business on weekends, said Loyer. “The roads out here are not a place for bikes.”

Loyer proposed several recommendations to council. Cycle tour participants, he said, should register with the county so their identities are on record. They could also wear bibs with their names and number, as race participants do. As well, said

Loyer, the Highway Traffic Act should be more strictly enforced. Thirdly, paving the shoulders of the road would make roads safer for both cars and bicycles. Paving could be funded by charging cyclists a fee to use the roads, Loyer suggested.

County Warden John Gemmell responded that council does not have the

authority to charge people to use county roads. Loyer then suggested using a portion of the county’s share of the federal gasoline tax for this purpose.

Gemmell told the delegation that county staff will be asked to prepare a report on the cycling issue and bring back recommendations for council.

Turkeys have an interesting meal from garbage bags EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reporting Wild Turkeys last week triggered an interesting response from Floyd Anderson. About six weeks ago he noticed four turkeys in Beckwith Township on Concession 9, just opposite the fire hall. What were they doing there? They were eating out of a green garbage bag. Floyd did not realize that American Crows have competition for garbage!

Also in Beckwith, south of Carleton Place, Maria Nordstrom called to report some of the birds in her yard. Many Mourning Doves, two Rubythroated Hummingbirds, and lots of American Goldfinches, plus Purple Finches, Blue Jays and Black-capped Chickadees keep her feeders busy. Occasionally a Northern Cardinal comes, American Robins visit, and neighbours have a murder of Crows. Until early September an Eastern Phoebe remained around the house.

All are preparing for the fall, and some for migration.

Received an interesting report, published by Environment Canada, on behalf of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative, Canada, 2012. It summarizes the status of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bird populations, both nationally and individually. On average, our breeding bird populations have decreased 12 per cent since 1970 when effective monitoring began for most species. Declining grassland birds present challenges and opportunities for conservation within working landscapes.

Aerial insectivores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; birds that catch insects in flight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are declining more steeply than any other group of birds.

Many of us have seen this in action, with less swallows and nighthawks seen and/or heard.

These declines are caused by factors in Canadian and wintering areas. Factors include

OPINION

Canadian Gazette - Your Community Newspaper

EDITORIAL

Amalgamating school systems would save money EMC Editorial – With Bill 115, the Orwellian-named Putting Students First Act of 2012, Premier Dalton McGuinty has managed to let down most of the people all of the time.

Teachers across the province, and here at home in Lanark County and LeedsGrenville, are in “mourning” over the loss of their right to strike for the next two years and the removal of their collective bargaining rights.

School boards are also feeling let down, believing that the provincial government did not think that they could be trusted not to sell the farm at fire sale prices to the teachers’ unions.

Students and parents are frustrated that their sports teams and after-school clubs may be curtailed or cancelled this season. Already, elementary schools in Perth (Stewart School) and Tay Valley Township (Glen Tay Public School) have drawn a hard line on not allowing teachers to lead these clubs.

While the secondary school teachers union in this area has not instructed their members to work-to-rule, seeing the ac-

tion taken by their elementary brothers and sisters, it may be simply a matter of time before the other shoe drops.

But again, teachers are frustrated because they love the kids, and love to teach.

They get no extra praise or pay – and often get extra work and guff – for their after-hours efforts.

In all of this, has the provincial government learned nothing from, say, the Green Energy Act of 2009, when it allowed wind-power generated windmills to be built willy-nilly around the province, without consultation from local municipalities or citizens?

It is now having to go back and retroactively look at these turbines and solar panels and make nice with the municipalities under a new point system for contracts under the feed-in-tariff system.

We understand that the province is in dire financial straits.

Is it the fault of the province’s teachers and doctors that we are in the mess we are in, rivaling Greece in our money woes?

Not completely. After years

of grief under the Mike Harris and Ernie Eves Tories, it must have been nice to wake up in the fall of 2003 and feel that one had a government that “got it,” when it came to hospitals and schools. Admittedly, years of labour peace in Ontario’s schools reigned, and Liberals liked to crow that “we build hospitals, the Tories close them.”

Ah, but then the bills started coming due, and the party was over.

Just as only Richard Nixon could have gone to China, in a more sinister way, it only went to underline just how hard up of a have-not province we have become that it took a Liberal government – albeit with Progressive Conservative support – to strip teachers of their right to strike, something that Harris and Eves may have mused publicly about, but never had the nerve to pull off, even with their majorities at Queen’s Park.

Yes, the gravy train was unsustainable, but should we fault the teachers for taking advantage of a good deal while it was going? In a way, they would have been foolish not to. They got a good deal

and showed their gratitude by stumping for the Liberals in 2007 and 2011.

Now they feel let down, betrayed and bullied.

We are somewhat amazed that no one, in all of this, appears to be looking at, is merging the public school system with the public one.

Clearly, if the Liberals are prepared to make tough choices by robbing teachers of their right to strike, why stop there?

Seriously, there is clearly a case to be made that there is duplication in the system, with 2.3 million Catholic ratepayers diverting their money to

support Catholic education for 600,000 students, according to the Kingston Whig-Standard.

Liberal ministers like Madeleine Meilleur, who stated in 2007 that Catholic education was enshrined in the constitution, a talking point reiterated recently by current Education Minister Laurel Broten, simply doesn’t hold water. Yes, it is in the constitution. That doesn’t mean it is right, here in 2012.

And changing it does not mean the end of the world, opening a constitutional Pandora’s box. In the late 1990s, another Liberal premier, Brian Tobin of Newfound-

land, put the issue to his people – to create one public school system, instead of the patch-work system of various faith denominations running schools across the province.

Keeping this system had been important to Newfoundlanders when they joined us in 1949 – by the late 1990s, it was time to change it.

If Newfoundland and Labrador, then a have-not province too, can do it, why can’t we?

It’s getting to the point, if the premier is serious about saving money, that we may seriously have to look at doing just that.

Plenty of garbage out there EMC Editorial – More than 300 tires, 3,410 pounds of scrap iron and steel, 29 metal barrels, 27 bicycles and 608 pieces of plastic were among debris collected by Carleton Place resident Doug Snedden from the Mississippi River (our drinking water) during a two-week period.

Using only his hands and a rowboat, and aided by the incredibly low water level, he commenced removing the items on Aug. 28.

The first day Doug seized 70 tires, six metal barrels, one shopping cart, one snowmobile frame, 150 pounds of steel, five lead pipes, two bikes, assorted plastics and more.

It’s amazing how one dedicated, caring person can make such a difference for the environment.

Once the material is brought to shore at George Findlay Park it is picked up by town staff and transported to a recycling facility.

Doug’s complete inventory is as follows: 301 tires; 3,410 pounds of scrap iron and steel; 29 metal barrels; 27 bicycles; 608 pieces of plastic; 453 aluminum cans; 243 glass bottles; 51 railroad spikes; 48 golf balls; 46 assorted pieces of clothing and rags; 36 shoes; 20 cups, saucers and plates; 11 lawn chairs; nine plastic toys;

TARA GESNER Tara Firma eight aluminum kettles; six hub caps; five road pylons; four credit cards; three bath mats; two sunglasses; two Tyco signs; one metal post; two flashing construction warning signs; two docks; two office chairs; two bicycle cable locks; two plastic drinking bottles; two security safes; one truck drive shaft; one car dash board; one microwave oven; one television; one upright vacuum cleaner; one dispensing machine; one ice auger; one snow shovel; one clothing rack; one metal lawn roller; one shopping cart; one Carleton Place Curling Club road sign with steel post; one recliner; one high chair; one Ski-Doo frame; one bicycle carrier basket; one fibre glass boat hull; one skipping rope; one restaurant table; one patio umbrella; one CB radio; one duffel bag; one plastic shed; one tent; one computer keyboard; one two-seater plastic toboggan; one industrial air conditioner sheet metal cap; 40 feet of synthetic rope; eight feet of outdoor carpeting; aluminum siding (one 12 foot panel); and one five

foot plastic arcade game.

Digusting, right?

It’s both lazy and incredibly selfish how people just leave their garbage out there. I get so frustrated!

And it’s not just our waterways. Have you ever looked in the ditches along some of the back roads in Lanark County?

By throwing trash anywhere but a trash bin, the offender is saying he or she is more important than the people who have to look at it and the one who has to clean it up.

I truly hope the town recognizes what Doug accomplished.

He wrote on his blog: “Protecting water at its source is the first step in ensuring that every Ontarian has access to safe drinking water. By stopping contaminants from getting into sources of drinking water – lakes, rivers and aquifers – we can provide the first line of defense in the protection of our environment and the health of Ontarians.

As a resident of Carleton Place, Doug, I want to publicly say thank you!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Research saves lives.

Please give.

Huge thank you to Ernie Rowe of C.P. Cinema often as a child in Cornwall.

This little theatre offered myself and many of the local and surrounding area residents an affordable entertainment and a place to go and enjoy watching the big screen in an old style theatre setting.

I would like to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Very Sincere Thank You Ernieâ&#x20AC;? for providing us with this little

jewel of a theatre and trying for so long to keep it going.

Unfortunately progress as they call it, along with the horrendous cost of changing over to digital, has caused the end to this theatre that many of us have had the great pleasure of attending. In the name of progress another little piece of history has disappeared and

there will be more to follow.

Sadly as technology moves forward it swallows up the very important parts of many of our lives and the little theatre the most recent victim, being one of them, will be sorely missed.

Thanks, Fran Bryerton, Almonte

Almonte Farmers Market produce vendors going strong DEAR EDITOR: Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: The following is in response to the article â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drought forcing vendors to quit; Produce to decline at area farmers markets.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. This year has been a struggle for local area farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; crops either having poor germination or young plants withering away. Temperatures have been scorching and cloud cover and rain have been non-

existent. Farmers everywhere have been scrambling for feed for their livestock.

It has been a terrible crop year but here at the Almonte Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market we still have an abundance of produce. We actually have more produce vendors this year than we did last year and their stands are lush and full.

Currently at Almonte Market you can find ripe tomatoes

(cherry, grape, mid sized, beefsteak, and heirloom varieties), which have been available for over a month, lots of potatoes, peppers, melons, citron, kale, Swiss chard, beets, beans, cucumbers, cabbage, zucchini, squash and more! Not to mention a great array of other vendors with cut flowers, baked goods, gluten free and vegan baking, maple syrup, knitting, carved wooden items, bread,

beef and pottery. So yes, this year has been a struggle, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write your local farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market off just yet. Almonte has itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; full roster of vendors right through until Thanksgiving weekend. See you at the Market!

Katie Thom President (and vegetable grower) Almonte Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market

Canadian Gazette - Your Community Newspaper NEWS Nationwide Bulk Barn fundraiser for the good of local Alzheimer societies

EMC Business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alzheimer Society Coffee Break fundraiser at Bulk Barn runs from Friday, Sept. 7 until World Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day on Friday, Sept. 21.

Bulk Barn has proudly supported the Coffee Break program promoting World

Alzheimer Day every September since 2005. Last year franchisees and their staff raised a total of $189,107 for local Alzheimer Society branches across all provinces, resulting in a total contribution of $1,030,724 to date.

The Alzheimer Society is

the leading nationwide health organization for people affected by dementia in Canada.

The organization is the principle funder of Alzheimer research and training, providing enhanced care and support to people with the disease. It is active in more than 140 com-

munities across Canada.

Franchisees and staff from British Columbia to Newfoundland are proud to support the Coffee Break program as the funds collected in their stores are directed back to their local Alzheimer Society branch to support

programs for people in their community. Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

SMITH - CAMPANELLI Bill and Susan (Smith) Mummery of Chicago are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter Angie Smith to Rick Campanelli, son of Rino and Antoinette Campanelli of Hamilton.

Happy Grandparents are Daphne and Jack Smith of Kemptville Ontario.

On June 9th Algoma University, in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, held its spring convocation, and awarded a Bachelor of Science (Biology) - cum laude - to Adrianna Rosetta Louise Bruni, formerly of Kemptville, ON. After leaving Kemptville in 1999, Adrianna attended St. Paul School and graduated as class valedictorian (2003). At St. Basil Secondary Adrianna won many academic honours, while playing four years of senior basketball. In 2008 she was a rare winner of both league MVP and the Referee’s Award, the only such winner in at least two decades. She became the first player, male or female, in the long history of Sault Ste. Marie high school basketball, to win two OFSSA medals - a gold in 2005 and a bronze in 2008, which she shared with her sister, Corina. She distinguished herself as a complete player - scoring, passing and rebounding, skills she began developing at the Knights of Columbus basketball camps at Holy Cross School. She is a Sault Ste. Marie Medal of Merit winner. Adrianna is a four year recipient of the CJ Sanders Academic Scholarship. She received 3 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) undergraduate student research awards as well as the R. N. Tagore Scholarship for top thesis. She has been awarded the Alexander Graham Bell NSERC Scholarship and the Master’s Entrance Scholarship from the University of Windsor. She will now pursue a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences. Adrianna thanks her parents, Rico Bruni and the late Judi Chajkowski, her North Grenville family, Grampa Ed Chajkowski (late Nancy) (Marjory), aunts and uncles - Cathi and Ray Finley, Salli and Lindsey Selleck, Tim and Laura Chajkowski, and her cousins, for their love and support. She recalls with pleasure the early encouragement she received while attending Holy Cross School, especially from Mr. Glofcheskie and Mrs. vanGerwen, and Holy Cross Church, from the late Father Lynett and Father Gus.

Congratulations, Adrianna!

Ipsa scientia potestas est!

Kerr Macey Eileen “Maccie” Kerr Mom passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, in hospital, Perth, on Sunday, September 16, 2012. Macey Eileen Kerr, of Rideau Ferry, at the age of 80 years. Beloved wife of the late Clifford Kerr, who predeceased her in 2005, and predeceased by her parents William and Emily Peters, (née Felskie). Mom will be sadly missed by her children; Phillip (Theresa), of Port Elmsley, Pauline (John), McElroy, of Lombardy, Brian (Joanne), of Merrickville, Cliff (Sandy), of Smiths Falls, Margo (Brian) Hunter, of Portland, Lorena, of Ottawa, Randy (Corey), and Tim (Susan), all of Jasper, Peter (Lynn), and Barry (Karen), all of Toledo, Julie (Rick) Wiseman, of Smiths Falls, and Martha (Narvin), of Port Elmsley. Cherished Grandma of 30 grandchildren, and 10 greatgrandchildren. Also left to mourn her loss are her surviving siblings; Dorothy (late Earl) Anderson, of Bowmanville, Ken (Evelyn) McKenzie, of Perth, Alwood (Joyce) Peters, and Stanley (late Anne) Peters, both of Alberta, Lois (late Jimmy) Lackey, of Westport, Merlin (late Merle) McPhee, of Port Elmsley, Keitha (Gerry) Majaury, of Dewitt’s Corners, Elva (Murray) Larmon, of Kingston, and Calvin (Susan) Peters, of Lombardy. Macey was also predeceased by her siblings; Livinna, Jule, Helen, Edna, Grace, and Alvin. Friends were received at the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, 15 Victoria Street, Perth, on Monday, September 17, from 2-4 p.m., and 7-9 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church, Toledo, on Tuesday, September 18, at 11:00 a.m., thence to interment at St. Philip Neri Catholic Cemetery. To honour our Mom’s wishes, donations to the Ontario Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Catholic Women’s League, would be appreciated. Mrs. Kerr’s funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Perth.

Passed away peacefully, with her family by her side, on Sunday September 16, 2012.

Pre-deceased by her beloved husband John, her baby son David and her adoring parents Joseph and Essie (Moulton) Currie. Loving Mother to Debbie (Joey) Gorman, Cindy Bell (Dan Angell), Michael (Tina) Rosborough and Jo Anne Rosborough; cherished Nanny to Nicky, Shelley (Chris), Lindz (Nathan), Allan (Apryl), Alicia (Jason), Ryan, Danielle and Leanne; proud great grandmother to Cassidy, Maizie, Violet and Aynslee; beloved sister of Josie (Gerry Baker) and Dan; dear sisterin-law of Eleanor (Bill Blackie), and Anna Stocker; caring Aunt to many nieces and nephews; loved by many special cousins; devoted friend to Vivian, Muriel, Kathleen, Audrey and Mary; and treasured by Monty.

She was a gift to this earth—a loving, compassionate and generous soul. She survived many hardships, and supported her family through all of theirs. She nursed us through scratched knees, broken bones and broken hearts. Together, she and Dad helped anyone who came to their door and were paid back many times over with friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Mom was “forever young” at heart. She grooved to Mick, Rod, Elvis, Queen, the Beatles and Johnny Reid and thrilled to hear any Celtic music, fife and drums and bag pipes. She loved dance and figure skating and was thrilled when she met her favourite—Toller. Mom was one of the original “motor cycle mommas” who was delighted to see so many women ride their own bikes today. She was a child of the earth, who got so much pleasure from her flower gardens, fish pond and all the birds and deer who came into her yard. She loved animals and could not bear to see them hurt or neglected. Mom was our moral compass who guided us through life’s challenges with patience, compassion, wisdom and love.

Her inner strength never failed to amaze us.

She beat cancer but could not win the battle against her latest illness. It is true that “Life is not fair”. How could anyone so perfect have been challenged so much during her lifetime?

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the caring staff at Kingston General Hospital, in particular Dr. Kunyong Xu, whose compassion for his patients and their families is extraordinary. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair and Son Funeral Home at 112 Beckwith Street N, Smiths Falls on Thursday, September 20, 2012 from 6 to 8 p.m. and again on Friday from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. The family would like to invite those that are able, to a celebration of her life at 208 Pine Ridge Drive, 9th Line of Beckwith, Blacks Corners on Friday at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers please make donations in her name to the Canadian Cancer Society and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. She made this world a better place and will now do the same in heaven where she will be re-united with her loved ones, but not forgotten on earth.

“WE REMEMBER”

SEPTEMBER

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

of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying...“We Remember”.

BILL McLENAGHAN June 26, 1943–September 20, 2009 I can’t forget that fateful day, You had to leave, you went away.

A sadness filled me up inside, Emotions that I could not hide.

Tears they came, sadness too, All my emotions just for you.

Time will heal so I was told But time could never fill this hole.

Here in my heart there is a place You’re always there, keeping me safe.

It’s filled with love and happy times It’s never dark, your light it shines.

In Heaven now you do reside, To watch over me with love and pride.

I know one day we will meet again, until we do just know how much I miss you, and LOVE you Always and forever.

Very sadly missed by Aurea, Donna and Sierra

WHITE, Anna V. (nee South) – Sept. 11, 1935Sept. 19, 2011.

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

I’ll never forget the love we shared Bill

One year has passed since that sad day, When the one we loved was called away.

God took her home, it was His will, But in our hearts she liveth still.

Pamela, Cynthia, Francine, Penelope and their families

HICKEY, Nathan – Aug. 14, 1987-Sept. 19, 2009.

You never said “I’m leaving” You never said goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.

A million times we’ve needed you, A million times we’ve cried.

If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, That no one could ever fill.

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

Love Dad, Mom, Tasha, Nicole Natalee, Karson and Denver

CHANT, Ronald – 1925- 2002 He Only Takes the Best God saw that he was getting tired, A cure was not to be.

So He put His arms around him, And whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away.

Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us.

He only takes “the best”.

Lovingly remembered by his Family 10 years ago on September 22, 2002

MARKS, Rob- February 23,1973 - September 16,2001. In loving memory of our Daddy, Son, Brother, Brother-in-law and Uncle.

And in memory of our Grandpa Levi (Lew) Baker May 10, 1905 September 22, 1971.

The Voice of the Wind When the warm breeze of April caresses you part of it will be me.

When you look in the eyes of my children part of them will be me.

When a snowflake of winter plants a kiss on your cheek, that kiss might well have been me.

And the dust which appears out of nowhere may be part of the dust that was me.

Through the promise of morning and the voice of the wind I will always have something to say.

To reflect on those wonderful moments and warm you as you make your way.

All things that we both were a part of will continue to brighten each day.

Making room for the sound of your laughter by remembering I’m not far away.

By David Garred Always in our hearts Nick, Kyle & Kassie Dad, Mom & Chris Cindy, John & Dana

Changing the way you think about storage...

YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN THE NEW MEGA DYMON SELF STORAGE AT KANATA CENTRUM – IT’S JUST THE LATEST IN A STRING OF FACILITIES THAT ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER TOWN. LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED DYMON NOW HAS SIX INDUSTRY LEADING FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

Stepping inside a Dymon facility, you will quickly realize that Dymon Self Storage is not your traditional type of storage business. “Before the arrival of Dymon, self storage in Ottawa was really nothing more than single storey buildings with garage doors. These facilities were typically located in industrial parks or rural locations, that offered minimal security, no climate or humidity controls, and there was very little focus on customer service,” explains Steve Creighton.

“We recognized there was a demand for quality storage in Ottawa, but there was virtually nothing available”.

Dymon quickly recognized a business opportunity, but wanted to create a unique “made in Ottawa” solution. Before getting started back in 2006, Dymon did extensive research across the U.S. and Canada by visiting dozens of facilities, and quickly determined the attributes of the best performing facilities across North America. Taking these ideas and introducing a few unique offerings of its own, Dymon put together a “best of breed” business model. Arguably, right here in Ottawa Dymon has built the very best that self storage has to offer anywhere in the world.

“At the end of the day, your stuff is likely better off stored with Dymon than at your home or business” adds Creighton.

From the outside, Dymon’s facilities are architecturally attractive and don’t look anything like storage buildings. “We have moved self storage into the mainstream by locating our facilities in easy to access, highly visible sites, usually adjacent to big box retail” says Creighton, “and with our attractive exterior look we wanted the marketplace to understand that we represented a new and totally different storage solution”.

WHAT DOES “BEST OF BREED” MEAN? Dymon’s facilities have many distinctive features that differentiate them from anything else in the Ottawa marketplace. By integrating leading technologies, Dymon has created the safest and most convenient way to store your excess stuff.

Starting with its complete and total humidity and climate controlled environment, Dymon’s facilities ensure no mould, mildew or bugs. Its advanced security features ensure your possessions are safe – besides having extended retail hours, Dymon also has a 24/7 Customer Service Command Center which monitors all of its facilities with personnel who can respond to customer issues at anytime, day or night. Dymon’s unique drive through bays (which are like airport hangars) provide complete protection from the weather and allow you to load and unload your stuff in comfort. Dymon even offers a free truck and driver at the time of move-in for your added convenience, taking the hassle away of renting and driving a large truck. Dymon’s facilities have THE EMC - A/CP16 - Thursday, September 20, 2012

luxury boardrooms, mini-offices, as well as a vault and mailbox service. And in a short period of time, Dymon has become a leading retailer of boxes and moving supplies – you should drop by the facilities just to see their unique box displays!

And the list goes on and on.

But perhaps Dymon’s biggest asset is its relentless focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. “Our highly trained staff regularly go above and beyond to help our customers deal with the stress of moving and storage,” says Creighton. “And time and time again we receive compliments on how helpful and professional our staff are.”

With everything that Dymon has to offer, is it any wonder that Dymon Self Storage has taken the Ottawa market by storm? Dymon’s first facility on Coventry Road opened in 2006 and filled in

R0011624282-0920

M

any people are also taking notice of Dymon’s latest facility under construction on Carling at the Queensway. “We are really excited about our Carling site,” offers Steve Creighton, Senior Vice President with Dymon, “it is going to be our flagship facility with our head office located on the top floor. We have some new outstanding features that are going to make this our best facility yet.” Dymon’s next facility will be on Greenbank at Hunt Club, and then another six facilities planned for Ottawa.

Creighton “and we continue to listen to our customers for new ideas on what they want to see from us”.

DymonBox.com is its latest environmentally focused business that offers customers the opportunity to rent or buy eco-friendly storage bins ideally suited for moving and storage. “This is an incredibly convenient service for our customers,” says Jonathon Dicker, Regional Manager at Dymon, “renting the eco-friendly storage bins is cheaper than buying traditional cardboard boxes and includes free delivery and pick-up.”

just 5 months, and has remained full ever since.

And Dymon’s Coventry facility was no flash-inthe-pan – Dymon’s second location at Prince of Wales and Hunt Club was filled in only 6 months.

Each subsequent facility has also experienced a rapid fill. Dymon’s Kanata Centrum facility, adjacent to Canadian Tire, is the largest self storage facility in Canada, and is already half full after having just opened at the end of 2011.

Pretty impressive stuff when you realize the Kanata facility is twice as large as their Coventry facility!

To put this all in perspective, a facility the size of Dymon’s Kanata location would ordinarily take up to 36–48 months to fill in the US.

SO WHO IS YOUR TYPICAL DYMON CUSTOMER? The reasons why people need storage are endless.

For example, people selling their homes use Dymon. It has been proven that a decluttered, well staged home will sell more quickly and at a higher price. Dymon is also great if you are downsizing or if you simply have too much stuff and need to make room in your home.

Many customers also use Dymon to store their possessions while their homes are undergoing renovations, or to clear out their garage in the fall to make room for their cars.

Interestingly, the majority of Dymon’s customers are women. According to Creighton, “Women are the primary decision maker when it comes to storage, so we have taken particular care to

design our facilities to be attractive to the female consumer.” Dymon does this by its highly focused customer service, security, convenient access, and ultra clean facilities – all factors many women demand. “Women appreciate the quality that Dymon offers – they know their stuff will be safe and secure.”

Dymon’s storage facilities are also very attractive to business operators. With free on-site boardrooms, a parcel acceptance service, and flexible yet affordable storage leasing options, Dymon offers the perfect solution for a variety of businesses. “Currently about 25% of each facility is made up of commercial customers,” reports Creighton. “Dymon is perfect for business to store bankers’ boxes, excess merchandise, spare office furniture or work equipment, and seasonal inventory. We even have some business customers who use their storage unit as their own mini-warehouse instead of renting a larger building with much higher fixed overhead.”

This fall, Dymon is also preparing to launch a new convenient document storage, retrieval and destruction business ideally suited for all types of business. “These additional services that will be offered to our customers represent another natural evolution of our business as we continue to serve our business customers better,” concludes Creighton.

Dymon is certainly not prepared to rest on its laurels and existing business successes. “We are continually introducing new services and products to improve what Dymon has to offer,” says

Dymon even assists you if you want to sell any of your stuff. DymonMine.com offers its customers the chance to sell things in a totally secure and convenient fashion. Dymon will photograph, describe and upload items to its website where potential buyers can view them or they can drop down to the facility and have a look. And just this month DymonMine.com introduced its new offer/ counter offer system where buyers and sellers can negotiate by e-mail, totally anonymously. The new process is fun, simple, and effective. When items are sold, Dymon issues a cheque to the customer, who doesn’t even have to know who bought the item. “Many Dymon customers were saying they wanted to sell some of their excess stuff, but they were frustrated that there weren’t really many convenient sales options available to them,” says DymonMine.com’s Manager, Peter Kalil “so we developed our on-line marketplace as a safe, convenient, hassle-free way for customers to sell and buy stuff.”

You should take the time to drop by one of Dymon’s convenient locations across the City – they really are unlike anything you have ever seen before. If you have too much stuff and need to declutter, and we all face that situation from time to time, Dymon should definitely be the place you end up.

Rob and Sam, owners of Milano Pizzeria on Bridge Street in Carleton Place are no strangers to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pizzaâ&#x20AC;? business, or to each other. They grew up as neighbours in their homeland of Lebanon. Getting to know each other in Beirut led to a friendship that carried them all the way to Canada, where they first worked for Milano Pizzeria back about 20 years ago Now as the owners of their own Milano franchise here in Carleton Place for the last four years, the duo have become a part of the community, not only through

From page A/CP3

Centre Alex Globke triggered a pair of goals in a losing cause for Carleton Place.

An early evening crowd of nearly 400 took in the action.

The first game of the set was the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season opener.

It was played Friday night in front of 422 at the new Memorial Centre and the score was identical to Saturday. And just like Saturday the hosts dominated, but on this occasion they were rewarded for their efforts!

The Bears held a slim 35-34 edge in shots and they led 3-1 and 3-2 at the breaks.

Nic Marchand netted a pair of power play goals, just over three minutes apart, late in the first period.

The gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first star Connor McLaren, who connected for the first goal of the night, set up both of Marchandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strikes.

Buonincontri also scored on the power play as Smiths Falls took advantage of 17 Carleton Place penalties.

Globke, a 19-year-old native of Waterford, Michigan scored his first goal in a Canadians shirt. He also set up Brandon Seatterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first period tally.

Wednesday Carleton Place visited the Ottawa Junior Canadians. Friday night they travel to Earl Armstrong Arena in Orleans for a 7:30 p.m. game with Gloucester Rangers. Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. Robinson Division rival Kemptville 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be in Carleton Place.

Trio of wins Luke Kasteelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marker at 3:20 of overtime gave Carleton Place Canadians a thrilling victory over the hometown Kanata Stallions last Tuesday night (Sept. 11) as the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect start to the new Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) season continued.

It was the third win for Carleton Place at Kanata Recreation Complex (KRC) in a five-day span. They also captured both of their contests during the season-opening CCHL Showcase played Sept.

7-9, also at KRC. Right winger Kasteel, a 19-year-old native of Vancouver, put his second goal of the campaign past Kanata goalie Brandon Lane to secure both points for Canadians. Lane was outstanding making 38 saves as Carleton Place held a 42-32 shots on goal edge and dominated territorially. Kasteel was named the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first star.

Carleton Place native Stephen Baylis forced OT with his second goal of the campaign for Canadians early in the third period. The clubs were deadlocked 1-1 and 2-2 at the intervals.

Defenceman Devin Campbell, who was selected the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second star, had two assists for the winners. Veteran forward Brock Edwards with an unassisted effort in the first period and new centre Evan Peterson on a second period powerplay were the other scorers for Carleton Place. It was

the second goal of the campaign for both players.

Kanata, who earned their third point in as many games, got two goals from winger Derian Plouffe. His first was

scored midway through the second and he also connected on a powerplay, just 35 seconds into the final regulation period that gave the home team a short lived 3-2 advantage.

Stallions also got a goal and one assist from sophomore forward Joe Breslin.

Carleton Place net minder Justin Laforest turned aside 29 shots for his second triumph in

as many starts.

Referees Patrick Brown and Scott Garrod whistled 14 minor penalties, eight of which went to the visitors.
