EMC News – Barry Desarmia is the inaugural 2012 Carleton Place Senior of the Year.

On Monday night (Oct. 1), National Seniors Day, Desarmia received the award during a well-attended banquet at the Carleton Place Curling Club.

Active in a number of local community groups for a number of years, Desarmia is a member of the Knights of Columbus and served on the parish council at St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

Desarmia was nominated alongside Edwina Eddy and Doug Smith.

“When I was preparing for this evening and I was reading the letters that were included with each of the nominees’ nomination forms, I found that I was touched by how passionate, committed and important they are,” said Guimond. “They have all volunteered their time to make our community a better place to live. Their contributions can-

She acknowledged them as role models.

“To be nominated is an honour, and to win is a bonus,” said Desarmia, accepting his plaque, which was presented by Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc.

He thanked the people who nominated him, in addition to

his wife who put up with him for being away too long.

“Not only is Barry our inaugural Carleton Place Senior of the Year, but he’s a smart man for thanking his wife,” said Guimond with a laugh.

In addition to a plaque to take home, Desarmia received a gift certificate from Zolas Restaurant (donated by Fifty-Five Plus Magazine), a

gift basket from the Carleton Place Shoppers Drug Mart, gift basket from Waterside Retirement Community, and fall mum from Carleton Place Nursery.

Desarmia will automatically be nominated for the Ontario Senior of the Year award. The deadline for applications for this decoration is next April.

Waterside Retirement Community, in conjunction with the municipality, established the Carleton Place Senior of the Year award in 2011, to recognize the varied and valuable contributions of seniors to the community.

In July of this year the community at large was asked to nominate seniors that they knew made significant contributions to the town. A committee of judges (LeBlanc, Nancy Cameron of the District 7A North Lanark Senior Games Association, Jackie Kavanagh of the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce, and Denise Tessier of the Waterside Retirement Community).

Eddy spearheaded the campaign to have parents with critically sick children qualify for employment insurance benefits when they are required to stay home from work to care for their child.

“In the 1970s after the death of her son she established a support group – the Childhood Cancer Foundation – for parents with critically ill children,” said Guimond.

When his children were growing up, Smith was active in Cubs and Boy Scouts, as well as the Carleton Place Canoe Club.

Out with a bang – coordinator steps down: Kidney Gift of Life Walk raises more than $14,000

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Patricia Mackler, a 10 year dialysis patient (second from right), posed with her family members before they headed out on the 5km Gift Of Life Walk. Also “When we switched to a walk event, the last two years brought in $6,000, which was wonderful, but I still had the desire to reach the goal at

least especially this year as I had decided this would be my last year to co-ordinate this event.”

With a barbecue in Septem-

pictured are Jeffery, Marla, Avery, Micayla, Braedan, Laura and Tommy Mackler, Nick and Brenda White and Cathy Mitchell. ber to help promote the event, and the naming of John Rivington as this year’s Kidney Foundation Ambassador, the public and the local businesses came through with flying colours, she said.

“If it wasn’t for the businesses – and I can’t stress

enough to shop locally because that is what enables them to support things like this – it would be a different story,” she said. “Shopping locally is so important. It’s really what goes on behind the scenes as to how successful we have been.”

R0021652762_1004

EMC News – Brenda Dube says she’s ecstatic with the results from this year’s Gift of Life Walk for the Kidney Foundation of Canada as more than $14,000 has been raised and money is still coming in.

“The goal has always been to reach $8,000,” said local organizer Brenda Dube, who added this is her final year at the helm of kidney ship.

“I have been in contact with a woman and she is interested in taking over,” she said, as she added that she wants to spend more time as a Big Sister with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Lanark County. She is also involved with the Multiple Sclerosis Society and its carnation campaign in the spring. Plus, she wants to get back to working full time hours.

“I just don’t have as much time anymore,” she said. “I’m confident that the ball will keep rolling.”

Before the Give the Gift of Life Walk started, there was the Roundup for Research Events Dube had organized.

It did very well by bringing in $10,000 and $12,000.

Dube says she’s blown away as the numbers are still growing for this year’s walk event.

“There are a few outside pledges that have not been accounted for and will be trickling in for a short time still.

Where we stand right now, it has raised well over $14,000 and I feel quite confident it will reach over $15,000 plus by the time it is all said and done.”

Dube noted that the media coverage, the sponsorship and community support has been wonderful this year, and helped to account for the larger amount of funds raised.

“I am so grateful for the media coverage I received and the participants desire to raise those funds and of course the contributors fulfilling those pledges,” she said.

Dube added that it’s been fun to organize this event, but feels it’s time to step down.

“It’s been a wonderful experience,” she said. “But I really feel that it’s time for me to take a back seat. The community has been wonderful to support this event for all these years and I’m thankful for that.”

More than 60 walkers took part in the event – double the amount of people from last year.

Despite the drizzle, participants came out to the Gift for Life Walk at the Crystal Palace in Perth on Sunday. Proceeds from this event go towards both research and funding local programs that help patients affected by kidney disease in Ontario. Local businesses donated items to be raffled and auctioned to raise additional funds that help fund local programs such as peer to peer support, renal friendly cooking classes and financial aid.

Without this support in the economic climate that we now are affected by, we could not dream of purchasing the additional training materials now that is made possible by this partnership,” says Fire Chief Jim Donovan.

“It is my pleasure on behalf of Council, Township residents and our volunteer firefighters to express our appreciation to Enbridge Gas Distribution and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council for their support and recognition of the service provided by firefighters in communities across Ontario.

EMC Entertainment – “I would rather have a dog.� This is one of the lines to be spoken by the blind heroine in “Wait Until Dark�, Perth’s Studio Theatre’s first production of the season.

It was this line that got director Norma Cummings’ wheels of thought turning. For every adult ticket sold for this production, premiering Oct. 11, $1 will be donated to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. “We thought it would be a nice hookup between this kind of a play and the guide dogs,�

Cummings commented Sept.

26, amidst construction of the set. It was day five of building the basement apartment scene. “We strive for good will in the community. Part of our mandate is to serve the community,� explained Penny Silberhorn, with the Studio Theatre. She said the theatre gives actors an area to act, directors a place to direct. “We try as much as we can to put some of our money back into the community.�

In addition to a portion of ticket sales going to the cause, the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind will also feature a promotional setup in the lobby as well as a donation dog (whereby donations can be dropped into) during the performance.

Not only is the Studio Theatre giving back to the community via the donation, they have also been hard at work preparing the performance.

Calling it a “pulse pounding thriller� the cast has been hard at work since the last part of August. “It’s been a big team effort,� Cummings smiled.

Her only way out is to turn her blindness into an advantage, she turns off all the lights when darkness falls – leaving them both in the dark, until the game is over.

The performance takes place Oct. 11, 12, 13, 19, 20 at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. Sunday matinees on Oct. 14 and 21.

Rounding out the cast are David Parry and Yogi Sepp.

The play itself centres around Susy, who is blind and her husband Sam Hendrix. In the play, they are convinced by a strange woman to transport a doll across the Canadian border. What they don’t know is that sewn within this doll is a quantity of heroin, heroin which villain Roat can’t wait to get his hands on.

When the strange woman who persuaded them into bringing the doll across the border is murdered, Roat convinces Susy the police suspect Sam as the murderer and that the doll is evidence. Becom-

Enjoy abundance of music at Merrickville Jazz Fest Oct. 11 to 14 EMC Entertainment – From Thursday, Oct. 11 to Sunday, Oct. 14, you can enjoy a scenic fall drive, spend the day or the weekend in the charming village of Merrickville, and enjoy Merrickville Jazz Fest.

Due to the success of last year’s jazz festival – Merrickville’s first – this year’s festival features twice as many performers, a number of whom have appeared in the Ottawa Jazz Festival, and twice as many venues.

The 19 performances in this year’s festival offer a range of jazz styles from traditional to modern. The nine venues offer festival goers the opportunity to enjoy these performers in a concert environment, in a dining environment, or in a more casual environment. This year’s festival also features a big band dance for ballroom and swing dancers.

The village of Merrickville, ‘The Jewel of the Rideau’, is nestled on the historic Rideau Canal (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) near its midpoint, less than an hour’s drive from Ottawa. Merrickville has been dubbed ‘Canada’s Most Beautiful Village’

by Communities in Bloom, and has more designated heritage buildings than any other Ontario community of similar size.

Merrickville is a unique and vibrant community, renowned for its boutiques, which are filled with one-ofa-kind items, many made by local artists and artisans. Its heritage buildings, historic setting, places to stay, boutiques, shops, restaurants, and small-town hospitality have made Merrickville a favourite get-away spot for a day, overnight, or longer.

From Truth to Reconciliation seminar - bringing all together survivors.

“My Algonquin culture, I felt I had to keep it under wraps,” Larry McDermott, noted to the small crowd that morning at Notre Dame Catholic High School, referring to his 28 years in municipal politics. McDermott is a member of the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation.

The day long event, “is a beginning. To open the minds and hearts of people living in the area,” noted Tracey Paetzold, a member of the Social Concerns Committee of Carleton Place, a co-host for the event along with KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, Amnesty International, the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, NDCHS and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

McDermott opened the day’s events speaking on First Nation’s history as well as touching on some of his own personal experiences.

“Often I felt sad in my heart with what I witnessed,” he said candidly.

“There wasn’t a way to talk about being Algonquin in Lanark County.”

He spoke once of attending a municipal council session where funding was

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC News - Coming together as strangers and leaving as friends was perhaps the spirit behind From Truth to Reconciliation, held Sept.

29 in Carleton Place.

The purpose of the day, was to bring together young and old, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, church and secular in a shared journey of listening, learning and reconciliation. The “all star line up” on the agenda that day also included James Bartleman, former Lieutenant Governor for Ontario from 2002 to 2007, and a member of the Chippewas of Mnjikanina First Nation.

Bartleman is also an author.

Also on hand to share her journey as a survivor of St. Michael’s Residential School in Duck Lake, Saskatchewan was Irene Lindsay, an Ottawa resident and descendant from the Cree/Sioux community of Wakaw, Saskatchewan.

From the early 1830s to 1998, over 150,000 First Nation, Inuit, and Metis were forced to attend government funded, church run residential schools - the point was to “assimilate them into the dominant culture.” Currently, there are estimates of 80,000 Residential School

being discussed for an Aboriginal celebratory event.

However the event never came to be, as one member of the municipal council would not support putting funding towards an event for “pagans.”

“We have to keep working, keep recognizing all are sacred. The creator has created all of us,” he commented.

Speaking after McDermott, Bartleman explained from his seat, he grew up in an era where minorities were discriminated against. Growing up, his family lived in a tent by the village dump. He and his brother used to chase the garbage truck up the road, “it was the days before garage sales” and garbage trucks which compacted items.

“We chased the garbage truck up to the road and poured through stuff.” It was in piles of garbage that Bartleman perhaps came across the greatest gift he could ever have found.

Comic books. It was within those pages that he learned to read and “developed a great love of books.”

He recalled he and his family being called “dirty halfbreeds”, but he also will never forget becom-

ing friends with the people, “who called us those horrible things.”

Aside from literacy being a focus for Bartleman, he also focuses on mental health and suicide as they remain important to him as well.

He recalled using his government plane to visit First Nations communities up in Northern Ontario. One trip there was a large crowd on the tarmac. When he inquired what was happening, he was told a young 12 year old girl had committed suicide and her body was being taken away.

“There is this tremendous despair amongst native youth in Northern Ontario.

They are killing themselves at an amazing rate.”

As a legacy, the James Bartleman Aboriginal Youth Creative Writing Award was created. This award recognizes Aboriginal youth for their creative writing talents.

These awards are given out yearly.

Seniors’ Expo a success; addresses the needs of the area’s aging population

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – With a never-ending flow of visitor traffic from beginning to end, exhibitors at the 2012 Seniors’ Expo found numerous opportunities to engage seniors, family members and caregivers living in Mississippi Mills and district in meaningful conversation. It was a success!

Celebrating its second year on Thursday, Sept. 13 at the Almonte and District Community Centre, the free of charge event was sponsored by CARP (Canadian Association of Retired Persons) and hosted

by Almonte Baptist Church (ABC), the Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) and the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County (AsoLC). It is the brainchild of Margo Smith, ABC member.

Individuals time and again are not familiar with the variety of neighbourhood services available until they are in need of them.

The expo brings this awareness – in a friendly environment – by way of direct contact with exhibitors.

Festivities included short seminars by local professionals, musical entertainment, refreshments, draws and door prizes.

Mississippi Mills councillor Val Wilkinson joined representatives from CARP, ABC, MCSC and AsoLC for the official opening ceremony and ribbon cutting.

“We are here today to make sure seniors receive a heads up of what services are available should they need them,” said ABC’s Pastor Paul Benson.

He called the expo a vision – a vision of passionate people.

“They knew it would be helpful to the community,” he said.

On behalf of the mayor and council, Wilkinson said it was important to welcome all visitors to the expo.

“We must thank the volunteers,” she said, “as something this size does not run on its own.”

The Seniors’ Expo was the start of a celebration that leds to Oct. 1 and the International Day Older Persons, a day decreed by the United Nations in 1990.

Immediately following the affair, CARP – in the process of setting up a Lanark County chapter – hosted a general membership meeting in the upper hall of the community centre to establish a board of directors.

Last year’s expo took place at the Almonte Civitan Hall.

Scoring one for Henderson

The inaugural Walk Your Paws for Lanark Animal Welfare Society, Sept. 23 in Carleton Place, was a huge success raising $13,000 for the organization. Above are Jessie Mulloy, with Boston Terrier Molly, Jason Hartill, Ty and Hudson Puckett, LAWS board of directors Liz Taylor

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Health unit commends woman for awareness efforts DEAR EDITOR:

On behalf of the Tri-county area of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit we would like to acknowledge the efforts of Brenda Kelford in raising awareness in the community with regards to infant communication methods and the message of - period of PURPLE crying, a program targeting new parents and their families.

Crying is how babies express their needs and communicate with the people around them. Some babies cry more than others. New information suggests that what used to be called colic is actually a normal part of a baby’s development. All babies go through a period early in life when they cry more than at any other time. Some practitioners refer to this as the period of purple crying. PURPLE is an acronym used to describe baby’s crying. Peak of Crying – babies begin to cry more and more each week, usually the most at 2 months, and then usually less at 3-5 months. Unexpected – crying can start and stop without an obvious cause or reason why. Resists Soothing – no matter what you try, you’re baby will not stop crying. Pain-Like Face –

the crying baby may look like they’re in pain, even though they are not. Long Lasting – crying can last as long as 5 hours a day or more. Evening – baby’s crying may occur in late afternoon or evenings.

Programs exist in some hospitals across Canada to raise awareness of the Period of PURPLE Crying for parents of new babies, in an attempt to lower the risk of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Crying is the most common trigger causing a parent/ caregiver to shake a baby. Current research is underway to determine the effectiveness of these programs in reducing the rate of Shaken Baby Syndrome. As an agency that adopts practice based on evidence-based research, the Health Unit is in support of raising awareness about the Period of PURPLE Crying and will continue to monitor the future results on the effectiveness of this prevention program.

EMC Editorial – It was the goal heard around the world. But today, 40 years after Paul Henderson buried the puck past a sprawling Vladislav Tretiak to secure the win for Canada in the historic 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, the scoring hero remains an outsider to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Today, our local Senator wants to change that. Bob Runciman, long-time MPP for Leeds-Grenville who now serves in the Red Chamber as representative of the Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, has initiated an online petition he hopes will convince the powers-that-be that Henderson’s exclusion must end.

Certainly the argument can be made, and has been made by his detractors, that Henderson’s overall numbers don’t measure up to the standards for induction. That his years spent with the Toronto Maple Leafs were hardly spectacular and that his defecting to the World Hockey Association (WHA) didn’t do him any favours either.

But let’s face it. Not all of those who have found favour with the selection committee in recent years have had eye-popping playing careers. Someone like a Cam Neely didn’t come close to a thousand points but his grit and hard-nosed play captivated fans and earned special recognition. There are other examples where players may not have fit the profile of a hall of famer in terms of goals and assists but who managed to rise to prominence in other ways.

Henderson is one of those cases.

While you will never hear it from him, there has been a steady call from his supporters over the years, people who suggest it is a travesty that Paul Henderson has not been enshrined yet. We would have to agree. Henderson’s heroics stand the test of time. The man deserves his spot alongside the greats of the game.

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of that incredible series victory, newspapers and television networks have all revisited the event in recent weeks. And the pinnacle, without a doubt, is Henderson’s goal. It’s not out of line to suggest that without Henderson – who scored the winning goal in each of the last three series games – Canadian hockey would be very different today.

Runciman’s is the latest attempt to fix this wrong. To join the petition, log on to his website at www.bobrunciman.com and follow the prompts. This is hockey fans’ chance to score one for Henderson.

Plenty to be thankful for at this time of year EMC Lifestyle - Every day back in the ’30s, according to Mother, was a day of thanksgiving. Looking back, there was indeed much to be thankful for. And as Thanksgiving is upon us, perhaps it is appropriate that those things we took for granted so many years ago, should be remembered.

So what are some of the memories of those Depression years that have lasted through the decades, and in recalling them, have me wondering what has happened to what we took for granted so long ago?

Let me turn back the clock, and let me take you back to a more gentle time, as I recall with thankfulness lessons learned and a way of life that

was more safe and secure.

I will be forever grateful that I lived in a time when it was perfectly safe to walk three miles of back country roads to a school without fear.

Even in the cities so far away, children felt secure, and a Mother’s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rather to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldn’t catch our deaths of cold.

I am thankful I lived in an

era where the owner of the General Store trusted his customers. Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself, and had the cost added to your Mother’s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter.

And if you didn’t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade.

Where sometimes weeks would go by, and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business.

I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand. And it was binding. It didn’t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade

I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overflowing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant. I was taught that it was more blessed to give than re-

Today, I am thankful we had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Renfrew, plowing through snow and blinding rain, and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken, or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter.

And I remember his sitting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke.

I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth.

Where even the youngest was made to feel important, and daily chores, done to a parent’s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson.

This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered.

This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today, and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country.

Before doing anything, ask yourself the following questions! tive in order for your advertisement to be effective? Once the advertisement has been published: -are you prepared to answer the phone every time someone is interested in your ad? -would you be able to recognize a serious buyer who won’t waste your time?

-can you be available to show potential buyers your home?

-do you have enough time

to answer everyone’s questions? And don’t forget the legal side of things. Do you know enough about the law to be able to prepare documents which will protect you in case of a lawsuit? Finally, you must be prepared to gather all the necessary documents together which the eventual buyer will need to finance the purchase and which the lawyer or no-

tary will require. Being a real estate agent is a profession which demands a great deal of training. These days, the requirements of the different provincial governments and professional bodies are very strict as there are many complex laws governing real estate transactions. You want to sell your own home? Think twice!

REAL ESTATE

So, you want to buy a new home and you have found a few potential properties. But how can you tell the difference between a “dream home” and a “heap of junk”?

Buying a home is a big decision that should be made rationally. For this reason, there are certain things you should look for when visiting a house for the first time. For example: • Are the walls straight?

• Is the chimney in good condition?

• Does the foundation show signs of cracks or weakness?

• Are there large trees planted too closely to the house?

• Do the exterior doors shut properly?

• Are there any drafts around them once they are shut?

• Are there any cracks in the walls close to door frames, window frames or in the corner of ceilings?

• Is the ceiling level?

• Do all the inside doors open and shut properly?

• Do the windows open and shut properly?

• Is the floor solid? If ceramic tiles have been used, are they cracked?

• Has any mold or mildew built up around the windows or in the bathroom?

• If the house has a fireplace, are there any signs of smoke over the hearth?

Is the damper air proof?

• Are there any odours in the basement? (A perfumed scent might be due to the owner trying to mask humidity or animal urine odours.)

• Is the cement floor in good condition?

Finally, visually inspect all the drains, pipes and kitchen and bathroom fixtures to make sure they are in good condition. Making a checklist of the above questions and bringing it with you when visiting new homes can be a great help.

The tour is also made up completely of juried artists so the work you will see is

of a professional standard explained Mullally.

Ilona Monahan is a member of the 4A executive committee and has been a member since 2010. She enjoys painting in watercolour mostly horses, flowers and dogs; she is looking forward to the tour and encourages everyone to come out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lovely time of year and people are out and about

in the community and this gives them nice stops on the way,â&#x20AC;? said Monahan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to sell a few paintings too! If you are Christmas shopping it is a really nice outing because there are beautiful studios to visit, lots of restaurants and interesting artists to speak with.â&#x20AC;?

She credited the large number to the Almonte and Area Artists Association (4A) and the Potter Guild who are both participating in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour.

This year there are 18 stops on the tour and a food stop at the Almonte Legion where she notes there will be special fall themed goodies served by members of the Almonte Ladies Auxiliary.

She explained that they

she hopes people will come up to the artists and engage them about their work.

Mullally also encourages visitors to strike up a conversation with the artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will get to talk to the artists and ask them about their painting and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a very pleasant atmosphere,â&#x20AC;? added Mullally.

Parenting together can be difficult to negotiate EMC Lifestyle - Do you and your spouse argue about how to discipline and raise your children? Do you find that this is a source of tension in your relationship? Parenting together, as a team, can be difficult to negotiate, especially if the two of you were raised with different parenting styles. It is also more difficult if there are other tensions in your relationship.

To help parent better together as a team The North Lanark Community Health Centre is offering a free three week course for couples who are parents of young children.

It will help you find ways to agree on parenting styles,

look at the importance of the parent-child connection and learn to support each other to work as a team. It is an information and discussion group. Parents will not be asked to share about themselves or their children but may wish do so if it would be helpful to them. In this course we will discuss the following and much more.

The trees in your backyard – topic of Horticultural presentation EMC Lifestyle - “I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beechtree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.” ~Henry David Thoreau.

The enjoyment of sitting under a tree, shaded from the sun and listening to the rustling leaves or the whisper of the wind through the pines is something we can all relate to. In today’s world of blistering heat, drought and the voracious emerald ash borer, it is difficult to know how to care for your trees or which trees to select to plant.

Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns - wellcared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property while poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability.

Join the Perth & District Horticultural Society in welcoming Crispin Wood, the Lead Arborist for the Federal Department of Agriculture’s Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, for a presentation on “Trees in Your Backyard”.

With over 10 years experience in the fields of arboriculture and urban forestry, Wood lends his education and expertise to the management and maintenance of the woody plant collections stretching

TFSA

|

across a 400 hectare site of mixed urban and rural landscapes. His education includes a degree in Biology from Carleton University and a diploma in Forestry from Algonquin College.

He is also a recognized Horticultural Professional with the Ontario Nursery and Landscape Association and a Certified Arborist with the International Society of Arboriculture.

In addition to his work at the Department of Agriculture, he is an active volunteer in the community, devoting much of his free time to various environmental causes.

Most notably he sits as Vice-Chair for the Ottawa Stewardship Council, and is an active member of the Planning committee of the Ottawa Eco Fair. Despite his diversity of education and experience, however, Wood’s passion continues to reside with trees; a passion he’s more than willing to share.

Two and four leg walkers started at the Carleton Place Arena on two, five and 10 KM routes through the community. A barbecue was hosted by the Carleton Place Lion’s Club and entertainment was provided by Barley Shakers, Kirk Armstrong, Pendle Sutton and Chris Collins.

Even in the darkest of times HOPE shines through at The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life our community and used for the costs of our committee’s school and community educational presentations.

I have been asked many times why I deliver presentations about my son’s fate.

I am a survivor of suicide, changed forever and I am not alone. Survivors offer a unique insight and hope

which can enrich our understanding of suicide to hundreds of people throughout the communities whose lives are touched by this tragedy.

This is my goal, opening the dialogue on mental illness, substance abuse and suicide. Encouraging others to come forward and speaking up may open up new

means of preventing it and understanding its impact. All along, I am paying tribute to the cherished memories of my precious son Brett, my inspiration and how his life has and will continue saving lives. The planning for the 2013 event has already started and if others wish to help with this important cause

EMC News - “Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark” was a message delivered by one of the several guest speakers at the second annual Brett Pearson Run for Your Life on Sept. 1.

The event was sponsored by the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee. Similar to last year, the warm day was blessed with sunny skies as participants from Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Almonte, Perth, Carp, Ottawa, Gatineau, Kanata, Nepean, Kemptville, Stittsville and Mississauga made their way to the Carleton Place High School to walk or run the 2.5 km and 5 km courses. For some, survivors affected by suicide, addiction and mental illness it was a chance to share their experiences with others.

The powerful messages communicated by Mayor Wendy Leblanc, CBC Ottawa Morning host Robyn Bresnahan, OPP Const. Dave Bird, Smiths Falls Const.

Dave Murphy and Marla Israel, Director General, Centre for Health Promotion, Public Health Agency of Canada helped in breaking the silence. With each word spoken, the taboo surrounding these topics began to fade, easing the pain of those suffering or left behind.

The Parade of Life which led participants from the high school to the starting line at the Trans-Canada trail was led by Brett’s younger brother, Sgt. Dennis Pearson of the 2870 Royal Canadian Dragoons Army Cadets Corps and his leadership encouraged other youth to speak out. The high school and trailhead sites were marked with colours representative of the cause. Purple and yellow balloon arches welcomed the participants at the sites and a ‘Fountain of Hope’ held floating tea lights that were lit by the participants and then placed on the floating purple letters that spelled the word ‘HOPE’.

Messages were inscribed on the tea lights by the participants bringing some consolation for the reason why they were there on Sept. 1.

The event raised $3,270.

The net proceeds of this year will be returned into

Scotland and the 20 year twinning relationship involving Carleton Place and its sister community of Comrie, in the Scottish Highlands, were the focus of a special event in the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium Saturday. The sixth annual Heritage Ball, sponsored by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, celebrated the 20th anniversary under the theme ‘A Highland Fling’. A full house was on hand for the formal dinner-dance which raises funds for the Sister Cities Student Exchange program. Among the main participants were five natives of Scotland. They are the Lees family from Comrie, George Lees and his wife Marlyn (left) and their daughter Amanda (foreground).

Mr. Lees is the long-time chair of the Comrie Twinning Committee. The Honorary Co-Hosts for the special occasion were Duncan and Fiona McNaughton (right). The McNaughton’s are long-time residents of the Carleton Place area.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Seniors’ Forum is designed to give Carleton Place residents more participation in community affairs

New vision “This is part of a new vision for the aging,” Mills said during a recent meeting with the EMC which outlined details of the process which will begin with the forum later this month.

Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc said “a large number of players (participants)” will come together for the seniors’ forum.

A number of organizations are already listed as community partners in the venture. They are the town itself, Community Home Support Lanark County (which provides services for seniors and adults with physical disabilities), Community and Primary Health Care, the Sunset Club of Carleton Place (a local seniors’ organization) and the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County.

“The philosophy is to include as many (people and organizations) as possible,” Mills stresses.

LeBlanc says council is thrilled to be working with MCSC but admits they first had to get past the erroneous impression the organization was directly connected to the Town of Mississippi Mills.

“We didn’t realize all of the things you (MCSC) could offer due to the fact we thought you were aligned with Mississippi Mills,” the mayor told Mills during the recent meeting.

MCSC and its partners are working with various groups, organizations and entities who are involved with seniors in the community on a daily basis, in hopes of attracting as many participants as possible on Oct. 16.

Mills explains information releases were sent to all of the local churches who have also been invited to participate by donating desserts for the luncheon planned as part of the upcoming forum.

“The churches will be donating pies.

“Food is a good unifying factor which is why it is important to come together over lunch,” Mills adds.

With the churches on board it is hoped as many parishioners as possible will attend the session.

During the event participants will be seated at tables and LeBlanc says each table “will have an identifiable (local) facilitator” who will help move the discussion along.

Following discussion at each individual table, a general dialogue involving all of the participants will be held to formalize the process. As mentioned Coxon the CEO of MCSC, will facilitate that portion of the venture.

Mills also referred to the second annual Seniors’ Expo held recently at the Civitan Club Hall in Almonte.

He said participants were asked three specific questions.

One was, “Tell us about a time you were most proud of your

community.” The second was, “Name the most important things, places and people in the community for you.” The third query was, “What do you wish most for your community?”

Mills says the answers to those questions, which those in attendance were asked to write out on paper, can be used to assist in making Mississippi Mills or any other community a better place in which to live.

He referred to Margaret Wheatley, an American writer and management consultant who studies organizational behavior. The very quotable Wheatley once said, “Very great change starts from very small conversations held among people who care.”

Mills notes what he calls “the (impressive) volunteer capacity of seniors today.”

Engage seniors Carleton Place Councillor Jerry Flynn, a firm believer in the importance of engaging seniors in their own community, says “we are looking for the knowledge and expertise with that (seniors) community.”

He refers to the large number of professional people who are

To sum up the importance of the forum Mills said “it will be a day for broader discussion.”

He says the venture will aim “to pinpoint areas of interest and concern” and “build on the assets that already exist in the community.”

LeBlanc calls the process “a positive collaboration” involving community representatives and citizens.

“We are starting a conversation about the needs in the community and people’s interests.

“We want to hear (from citizens) about what we have and what we need.”

Flynn summed it up when he offered, “We are looking for seniors’ vision of Carleton Place.”

“There are so many (retired) professionals who still have so much to share.

“Seniors are the biggest growth area in our society,” the councillor noted.

Mills says an important part of the process will be to create “an assets map for Carleton Place.”

He feels councils “don’t necessarily have all the answers” which is why his organization is involved in the process.

“Council is not leading this,” LeBlanc stressed, saying the town is acting as a facilitator rather than playing the lead role.

“We will be the greeters that day,” she says with a smile.

On Sept. 25 LeBlanc, on behalf of council, proclaimed Oct. 1 ‘International Day of Older Persons and National Seniors Day’ in Carleton Place.

The mayor also mentioned that the Oct. 16 activity will be the first community event staged in the recently acquired Carambeck property which is located at 351 Bridge St., just north of the intersection of

individuals, young families and seniors who may be economically disadvantaged as well as people of all ages who require support to live as independently as possible for as long as possible.”

Mills Community Support also partners with a number of government agencies and community service groups to provide quality programs in Lanark County communities.

This past spring MCSC officials made a presentation to Carleton Place council which helped open the door to the program for seniors which the town is now embarking on.

Jeff Mills, the son of founding member Stanley Mills, is the coordinator of community development for the organization.

He says he is “proud of Carleton Place (council)” for having the vision to organize the seniors’ forum with a view to making life better for the oldest residents of the community.

R0011583926

EMC Events - Carleton Place values its oldest residents and that fact will be underlined during a special Seniors’ Forum planned for Tuesday, Oct. 16.

Organized by the Town of Carleton Place, the venture is the first step in a new initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of life for local seniors. The free event, which includes a lunch provided by the town, will be held at Carambeck Community Centre (the former Carambeck Public School) at 351 Bridge Street from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 16. Free transportation will be available for anyone requiring assistance reaching the venue!

Carleton Place council is working with Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC), an agency based in the Almonte Ward of neighbouring Mississippi Mills, to organize the venture. Michael Coxon, chief executive officer for MCSC will act as facilitator for the forum.

The aim is to open a dialogue with seniors, their families, caregivers and friends in an effort to determine what is needed to make older people’s lives better. The number of people over the age of 65 is increasing at a rapid rate in Canada and the special forum in Carleton Place is a reflection of that fact.

The name Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) comes from two sources. It is named in honour of Stanley Mills, a founding member and chair of the organization which was previously called Almonte Community Development Corporation (ACDC) as well as for the community where it is based (Mississippi Mills).

MCSC is a multi-service organization which assists more than 1,000 people across Lanark County with specialized supportive housing services, non-profit housing services and home support services.

New cat adoption programs offered at LAWS EMC Lifestyle – Moxie.

I am a buxom, voluptuous female, seeking for a quiet partner for sharing late night

snacks! I am a short hair Tortoise Shell and I am seven years old. I am cuddly, and love to hang out in your lap to watch TV. Please come to meet me soon.

Maggie is a white Domestic Short Hair female, with one green eye and one blue

eye! Maggie is a three year old lovely young lady looking for cuddles and a private spot where she can perch and watch the birds fly by. She loves to play, chase a laser light and even a “Spa” treatment is something she does not mind. In short, she han-

dles being touched very well.

Benny is a young male of about 10 months old. He is a Domestic Short Hair Cream Point Tabby of Oriental type with very nice blue eyes.

Benny came in wearing a blue collar. He was clearly somebody’s cat and you might be

looking all over the place for him? We hope he is missed as he misses you. Benny is a lovely boy, playful and soft to touch.

Glory has been featured in the EMC column before.

Glory was about two months old when she first came to the shelter last year in November.

At one year of age, she is now one of the longest in-house guests and unfortunately has not known any other kind of

life... She is absolutely adorable and has been overlooked so many times. Do you have it in you to give this little sweet girl a chance? Please come and meet her, she’ll be waiting.

The LAWS annual general meeting (AGM), will be held Wednesday, Nov. 28. 7 p.m. at CP Cinemas, 17 Albert St., Carleton Place.

Fundraiser for LAWS Everything Zen Band will be at Farrell Hall on Friday, Oct. 26 from 8 p.m. -2 a.m.

There will be a silent auction. For tickets contact Kellie 613-250-9183, or Diane Morrow at 613-464-3245, also available at Imperial Perth, and LAWS. This event is sponsored by Farrell Hall (Terry Lee and Kellie Desjardine). Please come out and help LAWS. Organizers are also looking for silent auction items which they are willing to pick up. Just contact them for more information.

Cat adoption promotions “Adopt a Buddy” - adopters that have brought home a LAWS cat within the last two months are now given the opportunity to choose an adult “Buddy” cat for that previous cat. Also, from now on new adopters have a two month period to come back to LAWS to adopt a second (adult) cat

for half the regular cost.

Paws to consider Cats are taken home by approved potential adopter(s) for a two week trial period (for example: to see if it will work out with their other cat, dog, etc…) which can also be considered as a “Foster to Adopt” opportunity. Food is provided for this two week period. After two weeks, the potential adopter is required to adopt the cat if all has gone well.

Please come visit us at L.A.W.S and possibly enrich your life with yet another wonderful feline “buddy”!

Perth responds to LAWS emergency to raise money to meet this emergency.

A group of people met at the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa in early September to hear details about the emergency and to share ideas about finding a solution. Judy Meyers, pastpresident of LAWS and a current member of the Board explained that a number of circumstances merged to cause the present situation. Financial donations have declined due to the economic climate as have bequests which represent a significant proportion of LAWS income.

The past year saw an extraordinary increase in the number of animals brought to LAWS thus placing severe strain on all of LAWS resources. Complicating matters is the fact that the shelter

Curl for Kids Nov. 30 EMC News - The Smiths Falls Curling Club will host a Curl for Kids event for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Lanark County, Nov. 30.

Curling will begin at 6 p.m. and the famous Curl for Kids chili will be on the menu.

The cost for a team is $120 for four people for two games, and registration should be completed and

facility, located 2 kms west of Smiths Falls, is an old one requiring increasingly high maintenance costs. In January 2011, three pounds in surrounding municipalities of Perth closed and LAWS entered into a contract with them to receive animals from these communities. The number of animals far exceeded the numbers that were anticipated thus making it necessary for LAWS to withdraw from this arrangement. At present LAWS is not able to accept any dogs or cats.

LAWS is one of only two “No Kill” shelters in Ontario and survives solely on private donations. It receives no funding from any level of government. Being a “no kill” shelter is an expensive undertaking but one that is well worth the effort and ex-

pense. Mohatma Ghandi said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it animals are treated.” The work of LAWS, its staff and volunteers and those who support it through their financial donations, help our community to be a positive demonstration of Ghandi’s words.

“LAWS saves lives; let us save LAWS”. This is the mantra of the LAWS fundraising chapter in Perth.

There are many ways to get on board. One way is to come to the “Rally for LAWS” to take place at the Perth Farmers Market on Saturday, Oct. 6 beginning at 10 a.m. Donations will be accepted and tax receipts issued. Please consider your support of several other upcoming events in Perth taking place in Oc-

tober with proceeds going to LAWS “Musicians for Mutts” at Perth Studio Theatre, Oct. 5, will feature Kelly Prescott, The Claytones, Kelly Sloan, fabulous fiddlers and a silent auction. Tickets are available at Coutts Coffee Company, The Factory Grind/Bakers Cafe or by calling 256-7980.

On Oct. 13, Pet Fest will fill Mill Street in Carleton Place with entertainers, creatures, vendors, demos and more.

Go to the LAWS website, listed below, for more details.

There will be a dance with a live band and silent auction on Oct. 26 at the Farrell Hall in Perth. For tickets, call Kellie at 613-250-9183. Silent auction items will be greatly appreciated – for pick-up call Marlene at 613-466-0283.

For a more formal event, consider the “Black Tie –

White Paws” Dinner and silent auction for L.A.W.S on Oct. 13 at Slackoni’s Restaurant in Carleton Place. For tickets go to www.slackonis. com. For information about these and other events or to donate online go to www.lanarkanimals.com.

Often an emergency brings out the very best in a community. We see it happening already in the way people want to help to save LAWS. More must be done and as you can see from the many varied events there is something for everyone.

EMC News - Since the Lanark Animal Welfare Society announced that it is facing an emergency financial situation and may have to close its doors, many groups and individuals in the County have stepped forward to help. A group of concerned citizens in Perth has also responded and in collaboration with LAWS has formed a LAWS Fundraising Committee – the Perth Chapter. Driven by a love of animals and a respect for the commitment of those at LAWS who have kept this “No Kill” shelter operating for more than 30 years, a small group of people decided that action was needed now to help save LAWS. The focus of the Perth fundraising Chapter will be to raise awareness of the crisis LAWS is facing and

Tragic performance at Carleton Place Town Hall — Director is killed EMC Entertainment - Editor’s note: The following essay was written by Kathleen Everett, a member of the Mississippi Mudds publicity team.

During a particularly bad performance of the murder mystery Murder Me Always the audience was shocked when life imitated art.

Not that one could call that production artful in any way, shape or form.

According to authorities the dinner theatre had just

begun and the salads were on the tables when a shot reverberated through the hall — the audience believed it was part of the show until the body of the director was found backstage.

Thus, the performance came to a crashing halt and all mayhem let loose.

Detective Joe Mamet who happened to be at the evening’s performance quickly took control of the situation. He said that many of the folks wanted to leave, some disgruntled

by the terrible over acting onstage, and others for fear that the killer was still at large in the hall and may strike again.

Nevertheless, everyone was detained for questioning.

Mamet saw no reason to waste the wonderful repast prepared by the good folks at Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub, and dinner was served to the delight of the crowd.

For those who required a bit more fortification, the cash bar was also made

available (within reason).

No one wanted to deal with a drunk on top of a murderer.

The evening was full of discussion around the dreadful performance and the dramatic death, everyone speculating on whodunnit, and why they still let hopelessly forgetful Henry take part in such theatrical productions. One patron summed it all up nicely when she said, “Bad theatre shouldn’t be a death sentence!”

In a generally peaceful

town like Carleton Place such drama-filled evenings are blessedly rare, but if you’ve been hankering for just such a night out, then run, don’t walk down to the Chamber Offices at 132 Coleman St. and purchase a ticket for the Mississippi Mudds upcoming murder mystery Murder Me Always by Lee Mueller.

The production is set to take the stage at, you guessed it, the Carleton Place Town Hall on Friday, Nov. 2 and Saturday, Nov. 3. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

with hors d’oeuvres being served until the show starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets for the dinner, catered by Ballygiblin’s, and the show, superbly over acted by the Mudds’ Players, are only $45 and include gratuities and taxes. Though the folks at the Chamber Offices have said they’d love your cash, they will also sell to those using debit or credit cards. So no excuses! For more information please call 613257-1976 or visit www. mississippimudds.ca.

Lanark County Food Bank sees new applicants every month Food Banks (OAFB) reported that about 395,000 people were using food banks in Ontario.

Your local Food Bank relies completely on donations from the local community and the OAFB to operate. We do not receive any assistance from the Province of Ontario or any other level of government.

In Lanark County we are fortunate to have the support of the local community and several businesses to make our operation a success. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped us over the past year. Special thanks also go out to all the volunteers who give their time every week to ensure that we are able to continue offering this service.

The fall season is always a busy time at the Food Bank as we have several food and fund raising initiatives to help us through the winter months. The first

involves the annual Halloween parade that takes place in Carleton Place on Saturday, Oct. 27. The Lanark County Food Bank will be participating in this parade and the public will have the opportunity to make either food or monetary donations. In addition, the fourth annual Build a Mountain Food Drive will be held in mid-November and the public will be able to help out with a donation at any of the major grocery stores in our area. This food drive has been tremendously successful in past years and we have generally collected between 2,000 and 3,000 lbs. of food. The final fall event will be our

participation in the Santa Clause Parade which takes place in Carleton Place on Nov. 24. We look forward to seeing you there.

Did you know that the Lanark County Food Bank has been operating in your community for 25 years?

Next year will mark our 25th anniversary and we are planning a special event to commemorate this milestone. More details will be forthcoming in the months ahead.

EMC Lifestyle - In late August the Ontario Common Front published a report entitled “Falling Behind”. This report contained some alarming statistics about Ontario’s track record in dealing with poverty and funding of social programs and services.

For example, while poverty rates fell in five provinces, Ontario had the second highest increase in poverty compared to the remaining provinces. Another area of concern was the fact that 1 in 7 or almost 400,000 children are living in poverty in Ontario.

At the Lanark County Food Bank we are well aware of the impact poverty has on many families in the area. The Food Bank helps close to 550 people monthly and the number is constantly increasing. On average, there are approximately 12 new applicants every month. In 2011, the Ontario Association of

Local musicians feature fundraising events for LAWS

By ROBYNNE EAGAN

EMC Events - Local musicians are raising their voices for the creatures who can’t, in an attempt to save the Lanark Animal Welfare Society no-kill animal shelter that has served Lanark County for 30 years.

Local singer Kelly Prescott has long been an advocate for the creatures who can’t speak for themselves and was one of the first to come forward.

Her enthusiasm for LAWS is contagious, her band “The Claytones” along with Kelly Sloan; fiddlers Matt Pepin, Ian Clark, and John Dahms; and emcee Bridal Jamieson were on board for a not-to-be missed event.

“Musicians for Mutts” is set to take place Perth Theatre, Oct. 5. Along with great music, Prescott has orchestrated a silent auction with many great items up for grabs.

The support of the musical community doesn’t stop there.

Several bands are on-deck for a yet to be announced evening of sound, including “Running Naked,” “Jack Spinks,” and “Balsam Blue,” acoustic guitarists and singers Kathleen Stroud, Kurtis Armstrong, Sara Mitchell; and the poet-songwriters of “Vine Rhymes,” supported by sound technician, Tim Greencorn.

“For an organization running

on private donations, it’s the least we could do,” says Dave Scribailo of Running Naked.

“Everything Zen” Band will be at Farrell Hall on Friday, Oct. 26, 8 p.m.- 2 a.m., Nov. 9, Ambush will be at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club for a “Red Solo Cup Event” from 8 p.m. - 1 a.m., and Janis Joplin will be strutting her stuff for LAWS once again in Shelly Montreuil’s popular tribute show at a date soon to be announced.

With support such as this, Melissa Rusk, president of the LAWS board of directors, is hopeful that LAWS can survive this period of transition that has left the shelter overcrowded and struggling financially.

“LAWS is a good cause,” says Scribailo of Running Naked. “Like they say, ‘it’s not so much that we rescue animals, but that they rescue us’.”

Musicians for Mutts, Perth Studio Theatre, Friday, Oct. 5, 8 p.m. (Tickets available for $20 at Baker Bob’s, Mississippi Mills Musicworks, Read’s Book Shop, Ballygiblin’s, Pakenham General Store, The Vineyard Winery, Balderson Fine Foods, Factory Grind and Coutts & Company Coffeehouse.)

This Chop Suey is not a Chinese dish EMC Lifestyle - On one of our visits to Jeff’s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a Chop Suey Loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try.

With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine.

To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in Christmas baking.

It’s available year round from many bulk food stores and in the supermarkets around Christmas.

It’s important to rinse the candied fruit with water to remove excess sugar. This gives the bread a lighter texture.

The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one.

Milk makes the loaf heavy and dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture.

Chop Suey Loaf 3/4 cup water 1/4 skim milk powder 1 egg 1 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. white sugar 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, at room temperature 2 1/3 cups flour 1 cup candied fruit 1/4 cup raisins 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve, and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or syrup. Spread the fruit on a double thickness of paper towel, and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside.

If your machine has an Extras option which adds fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into the section for Extras. If it doesn’t, you will have to add the raisins later.

Place the water, milk

powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in the order given.

After measuring the flour, use about 2 tablespoons of it, and lightly dust the candied fruit with it.

Place the remaining flour in the bread pan, then add the floured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot. (You don’t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter.)

Set the bread machine for the Sweet Cycle, or on some machines the Fruit and Nut Cycle. If it has the automatic Extras feature, press the Extras button.

Don’t use the Delay Cycle with this loaf.

This recipe makes a 1 1/2 lb. loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size.

Start the machine. If your machine doesn’t have the automatic Extras feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins, and let the machine continue until the bread is done.

Remove the loaf from the pan, and let it cool for an hour before slicing.

End of Rideau Canal’s 180th navigation season approaching; Water levels to be lowered will then be raised between Hartwells Locks and Ottawa Locks to prepare for the skateway.

Almonte, St. John pummeled opponents in high school football action last week

By JEFF MAGUIRE

Submitted photo

Close to $600 and a truckload of supplies was raised for LAWS, as a result of a retirement party/fundraiser for Madelyn Johnson. After 40 years teaching, her wish was to have a retirement party, and raise funds and supplies for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society. The event took place Sept. 23 at the North Elmsley Public School gymnasium. Johnson was even mentioned during a recent Rick Mercer report on CBC television.

EMC Sports - Almonte and District High School Senior Thunderbolts ran rough shod over Notre Dame Catholic High School Warriors at Beckwith Park field Friday, improving their perfect record to 3-0 in the Lanark County Senior High School Football League.

On the artificial turf in Beckwith T-Bolts rang up eight touchdowns on their way to a 61-7 cakewalk.

Dependable backfielder Wes Mann romped for 127 yards and two touchdowns to raise his season total to seven majors in just three outings.

Jake Kargus raced for an additional 76 yards and one TD while Almonte quarterback Brett Mosley completed seven of eight passes, two of which went the distance. The aerial attack ate up a huge 180 yards.

The other Thunderbolt majors were scored by Ben and Zach Kealey along with Andy Bassett and Ryan McCurdy.

Almonte head coach Chris Spratt says the onesided triumph occurred because his team “was firing on all cylinders.

“It was a very big win for us,” he says.

Smiths Falls and District Collegiate Institute RedHawks remain in second place in the Lanark senior loop despite absorbing their first loss, a 51-0 home field embarrassment at the hands of St. John Catholic High School Spartans. St. John remains a point behind in the six-team league.

Carleton Place High School (CPHS) Golden Bears won their first game of the campaign Friday, edging visiting Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) Blue Devils 2621. Devils remain the only winless team in the senior league.

In the second game of a senior-junior doubleheader at CPHS field, the Junior Bears Cubs improved to 2-0 with a 49-13 romp over PDCI. Carleton Place swept the afternoon twin-bill.

Other games in the Lanark-Renfrew Junior High School Football League saw Smiths Falls stay tied with CPHS after a 48-7 decision over visiting Almonte who remain winless.

Meanwhile Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) Raiders blanked Notre Dame Juniors 35-0 at Beckwith field to complete a tough afternoon for the Warriors who were also swept. The other game saw St. John knock off defending champion Arnprior District High School Redmen 16-6.

2013 Ford Escape takes on new platform EMC Lifestyle – The vehicles I road-test for these reviews (yes it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Ford Escape I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Carleton Ford in Carleton Place.

Whenever an auto maker decides to completely revamp a longstanding popular model, they take a risk. The Escape traces its roots back to 2000 when it was first introduced as a 2001 model year SUV. Ford resisted the trend to badge smaller SUV’s with a ‘Crossover’ label and marketed the Escape as a smaller, more efficient alternative to their Explorer. For 2013 the Escape takes on an entirely

new platform, shape, and power-train to bring it in line with Ford’s push to offer extremely fuel efficient vehicles without sacrificing power or performance. Early sales data points to Ford having made the right decision.

The Escape starts the price run at $20,504 and tracks up to $45,454 for a fully loaded model. My Titanium trim level 4WD came in at $42,380 (all prices before destination fees, dealer prep, license, taxes, or current incentives).

This Escape is powered by Ford’s EcoBoost 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine putting out a healthy 240 hp. The Escape is also offered with a 2.5 L non-turbo 4-cylinder or a 1.6 L turbo-charged engine.

No matter which engine you choose, power is transmitted to the wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. My tester came with everything you’d expect from the ‘almost top rung’ on the trim level ladder and then a few surprises, such as heated power leather seats, high-intensity discharge headlamps with auto-levelling, remote start, telescoping steering column, power sun/ moon roof, 10 audio speakers, keypad entry, roof rack, 19” alloy wheels, the Ford My-Touch control system with voice command and the star of the recent TV ads: the hands-free power lift-gate

control, activated by a gentle kick to the rear bumper.

The Escape’s interior is decidedly car like in terms of comfort and view and this new platform has taken all the harshness that smaller SUV rides are known for. The 2.0 L turbo-charged motor keeps the drive enthusiastic without a lot of engine noise or high revs. While some might think a move to a more car-like and fuel efficient SUV means a lighter weight: the 2013 Escape is actually around 200 lbs heavier than the 2012 version. This, and its fourwheel independent suspension makes for a smooth ride over varying road surfaces with predictable handling and a minimum of cross-wind effects when passed by commercial vehicles. New onboard control systems will automatically slow the vehicle when it’s cornering too fast and the 4WD system is also computer controlled requiring no driver input.

Fold-flat rear seats allow for a variety of cargo capabilities and help to boost the Es-

cape’s capacity to 68.1 cubic feet behind the first row seats and 34.3 behind the second row. And like its predecessors, the 2013 Escape can tow up to 3,500 lbs (when properly equipped).

Keeping an Escape on the road doesn’t have to break the bank. A dealership oil change runs around $50 (no synthetic oil is required on the turbo engines), an air filter costs $22.73, front brake pads are $139.95 and front brake rotors are priced at $74.62 each.

Only the tires might provide some sticker shock. My tester was shod with P235/45R19 tires which are available from a small selection of tire makers with prices running from $295-$595 each. The SEL trim level 4WD might be a better deal for someone who’s not looking for all the bells and whistles. That version is priced at $36,388 and its P235/50R18 tires are available from a much larger number of makers in the $200-$350 per unit price range.

Of course, the big numbers that are sure to bring

big smiles to Escape owners are its fuel economy ratings.

NRCan gives the 2.0 L 4WD version a rating of 9.8L/100 km city and 6.9 L/200 km highway. That translates into 28.8 mpg city and 40.9 mpg highway. For comparison the U.S. EPA rates the Escape at 25.2 mpg city and 33.6 mpg highway (converted to imperial gallons). Using the NRCan figures the Escape’s 57 L fuel tank should provide an operating range of over 600 km in

a 50/50 mix of city/highway driving and cost about $75 to fill at $1.40 per litre (the turbo engines take premium fuel).

The market place for compact SUV’s is a pretty busy and crowded affair, but Ford puts the Escape at the head of its class with technology to boost economy, improve driver safety, and beat Canadian winters.

British lines never go out of style ...

EMC Lifestyle - An old friend, Michael Giroux (not in age but in years known) brought over his project car recently as he knew we shared an interest in all things British (wheels that is).

His pride and joy, a 1962 Austin Healy 3000 MkII BT7 was enjoying its inaugural summer tour after a 14-year rebuild. The MkII’s were originally built from 19611962 by the British Motor Corp as a flagship model and could be had for the princely sum (back then) of around $3,700. Like many British sports cars of that era, they were advanced for their times with an extensive use of aluminum body panels, electric transmission overdrives, and even mounting points for optional seatbelts.

Mike’s Austin Healey was built as a left-hand drive and shipped from Britain to Montreal in April of ’62. It was trucked to The Sports Car Factory in Hallville in pieces in October of 1998 and was freed to the highways just last month. This was a body on frame vehicle and the body shop custom built a new frame and basically rebuilt the bottom six inches of the vehicle. The body panels were all repaired without filler and sanded to a very fine finish before paint. The interior fabric and trim was replaced with

Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

new as was every piece of chrome body décor and grille.

The engine was disassembled and rebuilt and balanced by a shop in Cobden. Knowing he wanted this vehicle to last, Mike replaced every fastener, bolt, and nut he could with stainless steel, including the exhaust system. That and an electronic ignition system were about the only modifications done by Mike in an effort to keep the car as close to its original new condition as possible.

The 3.0 L inline six engine is fed by two SU carburetors and produces an amazing 150 HP. This might not seem peppy, but in a car that only weighs 2465 lbs., it’s enough to force you to keep a tight grip on the steering wheel and move this 2-door along in a spirited manor.

One of the only kinks left to sort out is the fine tuning of the twin carbs, but even though these can be adjusted by the hands of an expert to make the Austin purr like a kitten, Mike and other classic and antique vehicle owners are running into a host of fuel

system problems that can’t be resolved with a screwdriver.

The biggest cause of damage to these chromed chariots (other than rust and teenagers) is ethanol or ethyl alcohol that’s found in pretty much every gas station in the province. While the high concentration E85 or 85 per cent ethanol fuel is hard to find in Canada, E10 or E15 or low alcohol content gas is pumped pretty much everywhere. If a gasoline brand does have ethanol content, the dispensing pump should be labeled with that information. In vehicles built before the mid ’80s, ethanol can weaken fuel pumps, damage carbs and injectors, and create crystalline deposits that can gum up the works. Verity Conrad, a communications advisor with Shell Canada provided some helpful tips for collector and antique car owners: “Shell does not currently add any Ethanol to V-Power in Canada so if a customer does not want Ethanol blended gasoline in a market where we blend in Ethanol they can use V-Power. Not all mar-

kets in Canada have Ethanol blended gasoline, in Shell’s case we normally post “may contain up to 10% Ethanol” at sites that can receive ethanol blended gasoline. If the site does not have these stickers at the pump then that site does not carry Ethanol blended gasolines.

If you operate a vehicle that was manufactured prior to the mid 1980s you should exercise caution if you want to use ethanol blended gasoline.

Older vehicles used fuel system components (such as seals and hoses) that were not designed to be compatible with ethanol-blended gasoline.

Use of ethanol-blended gasoline in any vintage or classic vehicles is not recommended.

Avoid storing ethanol-blended gasoline or conventional gasoline from one season to the next. During spring and fall, the volatility of gasoline is changed on a frequent basis and too much or too little vapour pressure can cause operational problems.

Some manufacturers recommend that ethanol-blended gasoline not be used in their marine engines. Prior to using ethanol-blended gasoline, the customer should check their owner’s manual or contact their equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility. For your boat, Shell continues to provide customers with an al-

EMC Events – Notre Dame Catholic High School (NDCHS) held its annual Terry Fox 5K Run/Walk on Sept. 25. Approximately 50 students participated, along with staff. Close to $2,100 was raised. Fox was just 18 when he was diagnosed with the rare osteogenic sarcoma, a form of bone cancer.

As a result, his right leg was amputated six inches above the knee. Inspired by youngsters he met in a children’s cancer ward who were suffering with cancer, Fox began his Marathon of Hope cross-country fundraiser in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980. His goal was to raise $1 for every Canadian. He ran for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres before being forced to stop Sept. 1, 1980 in Thunder Bay, when the cancer was discovered in his lungs. Fox passed away at the age of 22 on June 28, 1981.

EMC News – Students at Caldwell Street Public School honoured the memory of a Canadian hero on Sept. 28 by participating in the Terry Fox National School Run Day. Clockwise from top left: On your mark, get set, go; principal Carole Dufort walks with enthusiastic students; and participating in the event was retired and beloved teacher Donna Ward. Although she was set to retire at the end of June, Ward was forced to leave six weeks premature because of her battle against breast cancer. She underwent a mastectomy on May 24 in Ottawa and is now doing well – and cancer free. The entire student population wore pink on Friday to demonstrate support.

What is breast cancer?

Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast. The breast tissue covers an area larger than just the breast. It extends up to the collarbone and from the armpit across to the breastbone in the centre of the chest. The breasts sit on the chest muscles that cover the ribs.

Each breast is made of glands, ducts (thin tubes) and fatty tissue. Lobules are groups of glands that can produce milk. Milk flows from the lobules through a network of ducts to the nipple. The nipple is in the centre of a darker area of skin called the areola. Fatty tissue fills the spaces between the lobules and ducts and protects them.

A woman’s breasts may feel different at different times of her menstrual cycle, sometimes becoming lumpy just before her period. Breast tissue also changes with age. Breast tissue in younger women is mostly made of glands and milk ducts, but older women’s breasts are made up mostly of fatty tissue.

The breasts also contain lymph vessels and lymph nodes, which are part of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps fight infections. Lymph vessels move lymph fluid to the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes trap bacteria, cancer cells and other harmful substances.

There are groups of lymph nodes near the breast under the arm, near the collarbone and in the chest behind the breastbone.

Cancer cells may start within the ducts (this is called ductal carcinoma) or in the lobules (lobular carcinoma). Ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer.

The information in this section is about ductal and lobular carcinomas. Other types of cancer such as inflammatory breast cancer and Paget’s disease, behave differently and may need different treatment. For more information about other types of breast cancer, call our Cancer Information Services 1 888 939-3333 or e-mail info@cis.cancer.ca.

Inside

EMC Events – Murray McLauchlan was “Up Close & Personal” in concert in Carleton Place on Saturday, Sept. 29. The iconic Canadian singer/songwriter made an ‘encore’ performance at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church that evening.

Last October this 11time Juno Award winner and recipient of the Order of Canada performed two sold-out shows in Carleton Place.

The success of those concerts did much to elevate the community onto the national entertainment stage and to establish the town as a destination for first-rate entertainment and firstrate acts.

EMC News – The debate rages on against a new minisoccer pitch in the Riverfront Park Estates subdivision.

Approximately 50 people turned out for an open house to view the three options for the new park area on Sept.

24.

Ray Rosebush owns two homes in the Riverfront Park area – on Kilburn Street and Van Dusen Street. His preference is option number three as it ties in nicely with the River Shore Park “I very much love the design, it is an easier park, it has benches set up for seniors to go to the area and socialize, in the north there is a covered plaza that allows you to sit and socialize,” said Rosebush.

He stresses that he likes

Team

children playing sports but not organized sports because he believes they take over the park.

“Activity in the park should be people having a good time but not in large groups,” said Rosebush.

Local resident Neil MacLeod also wanted to make very clear that local residents don’t have anything against sports.

“What we do have is a concern against organized sports in a neighbourhood park,” said MacLeod. “We have no issue of kids playing sports, I don’t believe that a neigbourhood park is the best place for organized sports.”

The park is set to be a Neighbourhood park and a partial definition as found in the Mississippi Mills official plan section 3.8.3 is: ‘Neigh-

bourhood parks should generally be located in residential areas and accommodate multigenerational, neighbourhood interests. They should provide for unorganized play activities, quiet seating or rest areas, sports areas for minor leagues, such as mini soccer pitches, outdoor skating rinks, water play, playgrounds, neighbourhood events and informal activities.’

When asked what he thought of the definition of a Neighbourhood Park that includes reference to minor leagues and a mini soccer pitch, Rosebush said if the park included unorganized events he was all for it.

“I think soccer should be in a regional or municipal park.”

The Riverfront Park Estates subdivision started in 2007

and according to town planner Stephen Stirling, there has been public consultation all the way through the process because the Planning Act requires it.

He notes that there were open houses and when the process started the Riverfront Estates Design (Spring Street Design Committee) was formed in 2007. Through this public consultation it was decided that in the middle there would be an active park. A passive park would be by the river.

There was some discussion with the residents present that by putting the mini-soccer pitch in this location council was ‘saving face’ after having taken a mini-soccer pitch for the new skateboard park in Gemmill Park.

“It was always intended that

this park would be an active park, that was the developer’s intent and was explained to the design committee,” said Stirling.

The Rivershore Park is considered a passive park and is 1.65 hectares (4.2 acres) of parkland, which will be on the south east side of Spring Street. The Riverfront Park is considered an active park and is close to one hectare (2.6 acres) of parkland, which will be located at the corner of Merrithew and Van Dusen.

The development includes five phases. Currently there is still 70 per cent to be developed; phase one, developed in 2008, had 89 units which consisted of mixed singles and townhouses. In phases two to five there will be 344 See PLANS page A/CP2 R0011658183_1004

units with a mix of singles, townhouses and semi-houses.

In total there will be 429 units.

Based on the current building rate and market, Stirling expects the development will be finished in the next three to four years.

In April, Jane MacLeod representing the Riverfront Estates Action Group requested that council rescind a motion from October approving the go-ahead for planning the active park.

In May, council decided that it would indeed have further public consultation on the park.

A call went out for members to sit on a working committee to form different options.

This committee held meetings in June and July and it was decided to get a landscape architect and have a public meeting. Now comments will be reviewed and the sub-committee will meet again to review them in late October. It will then go to the Recreation and Culture committee.

The Riverfront Estate Park Committee consists of: Diane Smithson, Town chief administration officer, Calvin Murphy, recreation coordinator, councillor/chair of the recreation and culture committee Paul Wat-

Guest speaker The night’s special guest speaker – Mary Cook – need-

ed no introduction, said Guimond.

“The stories she shares in her books, newspaper articles, and on the radio never fail to touch our hearts,” she contin-

ued, “and they bring a sentimental smile to our faces.”

Cook spoke about heroes and angels.

“How could a girl from the Ottawa Valley, in the back-

woods of Renfrew County, and with no opportunity for a higher education, spend 48 years on radio, earn seven ACTRA awards and write 11 best-selling Canadian books?”

she asked the audience.

Answering her own question, Cook said, “I travelled the road with an angel on my shoulder.”

LeBlanc called Cook “the

ters, councillor Garry Dalgity, councillor Val Wilkinson, the developer Houchaimi Holdings, Stirling and two members of the community, Brian Stephenson and Scott Newton who lives on Johanna.

Newton wanted to join the committee because he felt that the retirement community was very organized, he also attended some of the meetings before the subdivision started.

“I wanted to ensure the young families were represented. I grew up here playing soccer, hockey and tennis and I wanted to be sure when my kids start to play that they have somewhere close to play,” said Newton. “I think the three options are great, there is something for everyone.”

He has seen a lot more young families moving in and thinks it is important to have a soccer field in the park.

“In the previous working group before the subdivision was here soccer was discussed as a key element of the park,” said Newton. “I really like the elements of option number three but feel it is important to maybe re-arrange certain elements to allow for the potential of a mini-soccer field.”

Councillor Gary Dalgity, is also a member of the Recre-

ation and Culture committee, he also likes the third option because he thinks it has something for everyone.

“It’s eco-friendly to begin with and the area to the east side has trees which is a buffer to the homes,” said Dalgity. “It has play areas with structures, paths, the only thing is the parking on the street and some neighbours did not want parking on the street.”

As a group of approximately 10 people were gathered around the board with the three options councillor Dalgity openly fielded questions on the design.

“A majority of council wants a mini-soccer field somewhere in Riverfront Estates, council said we would replace it,” said Dalgity, who noted he would not vote in favour of a minisoccer pitch. “Council is very adamant about a soccer pitch.”

It was stressed that all three options have the potential for a mini-soccer field.

All three of the options listed had space marked as a multipurpose field, however the first two included drawings of soccer nets, the third did not.

“We are very disappointed that option three can potentially have a mini-soccer field,” said Jane McLeod.

“I like option three because

it does not include a soccer field,” added Rosebush.

Stirling stressed that the town is trying to meet the needs of everyone in the residential community that the park will serve.

“I think at the end of the day the plans that were put forward provides options for the municipality to consider all of the needs in the community,” said Stirling. “We have to remember that council is to reflect the concerns of everyone and not just one interest group.”

He explained that the Almonte Soccer Club (ASC) has made efforts to find some level of compromise. Members of the ASC also attended the open house and in an interview with the EMC/Canadian Gazette, Wade Neville, ASC president explained that the club would like to see a field in this park and thinks it is a good idea.

The ASC serves 2,200 members of the community and they will work hard to ensure that they have sufficient fields to play on.

He thinks it is interesting as to how the park situation has evolved over the last six to eight months.

“The club was particularly

shocked at the inaccurate information presented to the town regarding how the Almonte Soccer Club intended to use the proposed field by residents,” said Neville. “It was almost shocking to hear things like field lights on for all hours of the night, car exhaust entering residents’ homes, and the extreme noise. All this information was presented without a single resident sitting down and asking us how the fields would be used.”

In fact, he clarifies that the mini-soccer fields are used from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday’s. The season runs from June 1 to the end of August and the number of players on mini teams is anywhere from 9 to 14, the maximum is 14 per team.

As well in May the Riverfront Estates Action Group sent out a survey to 294 residents and received 203 surveys back (69 per cent return rate) and in the survey 30 people thought league sports (soccer and baseball) were very desirable, 29 thought it was somewhat desirable, 35 people had no preference and 104 did not want league sports.

Stirling cannot officially

speak to the survey because the survey was not prepared by the municipality and no one at the town received a copy of the survey before it went out.

In the survey summary it states, “Of great importance is whom is the park meant to serve. In this case, it is the residents who live within a 500-meter radius of the park.

Currently, that population occupies 294 residences but will expand with future phases of the Riverfront Estates. The majority of this population is adult with a large number of retirees and empty nesters. When considering the function of the Neighbourhood Park, activities should be oriented for these residents.”

Stirling clarifies the intent for the park. “It has not been built or designed as a seniors community,” he added.

Stirling explained that the idea of the open house was to receive comments on the three designs.

“The goal is to service and meet the needs of all residents,” said Stirling. “The concepts that we have created meet all the requirements set out in the official plant to meet all the needs of the community.”

SCHEDULED MEETING DATES 2012 The Meeting Dates are as follows:

October 1st was declared Day of Older Persons A friendly smile greets visitors at the entrance to the hospital. A caring neighbour checks on an elderly lady daily and drives her to appointments and shopping. A conscientious couple pick up litter along Mississippi Riverwalk Trail on their daily outing. An understanding volunteer lends a hand with students in a Grade Two classroom. These activities are just some of the myriad ways that seniors volunteer to make our community a better place in which to live, work, and play.

In recognition of these special contributions to the quality of life we all enjoy here in Carleton Place, Council officially declared October 1st as Day of Older Persons. This significant proclamation is part of the worldwide movement started by the UN to celebrate the members of this growing segment of our population, and to acknowledge the time and talents that seniors devote to bettering the lives of all community residents.

During the past few months, members of Council and staff partnered with Mills Community Support, the Sunset Club of Carleton Place, the Alzheimer Society, and Community and Primary Health Care to plan a Seniors’ Forum on October 16th at our new Carambeck Community Centre. During the 3 ½ hour event, seniors, their families, caregivers and friends will talk about how, by working together, we can enhance local seniors’ quality of life. Admission to the event is free and includes lunch, and transportation is available. Watch for further information in the EMC. Your Council and Community Programming Staff are anticipating that this event will be a significant step in ensuring that our senior citizens benefit from the quality of life that they work so hard to give to others. We hope you will participate!

New Waste Water Treatment Plant officially opens tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On time and on budget, are not two words normally associated with major infrastructure projects.

However, the residents of Mississippi Mills can be proud of the new $28 million Waste Water Treatment Plant on Wolf Grove road as it is state of the art, on time and on budget. More than 50 town representatives and visitors from other local municipalities gathered for the official ribbon cutting on Thursday, Sept. 27 outside the 13,700 square foot building. Troy Dunlop, director of roads and public works for the Town of Mississippi Mills thought the opening was very special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, you are seeing two years of construction and 10 years of planning, the new plant will serve the community until 2031,â&#x20AC;? said Dunlop.

Pakenham Ward councillor Denzil Ferguson told the gathered crowd that this was a plant everyone can be proud of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the largest procurement we will see for a number of years. Today is a historical day!â&#x20AC;? said Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been a lot of hard work and dedication from everyone involved and it solidifies the three levels of government working together. We have brought this project in on budget and on time. We as Mississippi Mills will all be proud of this facility for years to come.â&#x20AC;?

The project was equally funded between the federal and provincial governments and the municipality.

Mayor John Levi called it a great day for Mississippi Mills.

Mississippi Mills councillors Bernard Cameron, Alex Gillis, Val Wilkinson, Gary Dalgity, Mayor John Levi, John Edwards, Denzil Ferguson and Duncan Abbott officially cut the ribbon for the new Waste Water Treatment Plant on Wolf Grove Road on Sept. 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sets us up for future development and expansion of the town and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without the treatment plant,â&#x20AC;? said Levi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an environmentally responsible plant so we are helping our river too.â&#x20AC;?

Levi noted that the community is fairly residential and the Ministry of Environment would not let them have a new subdivision without the plant.

He congratulated everyone involved in the process for making it on time and on budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project is on time and on budget and that is typically unheard of and very rare these days,â&#x20AC;? said Levi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives us pride as it is one of the most modern facilities and in the top five in all of Ontario as it is built to the latest technology.â&#x20AC;? He knows people want to see the new plant and they are planning on having another open house soon.

The plant has been a long time coming as the provincial government, in 2002 introduced the Nutrient Management Act. This act required the municipality to upgrade the facilities. The next step was in 2004, when the Min-

istry of Environment (MOE) conducted an Environmental Assessment for the project. In 2006, the council of the day adopted a Smart Growth Philosophy in order to achieve the council goals. In 2006, the council applied for the Federal Build Canada Grant and was unsuccessful, however in 2009 they were successful for funding from both the provincial and federal government.

Al Lunney, former mayor of Mississippi Mills for seven years, was with the project since the beginning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need for a Waste Water Treatment Plant had a lot to do with me running,â&#x20AC;? said Lunney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The town was stagnate and dying and the lagoons were at a max, something had to be done and the town didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a plan. There were naysayers who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy into the fact that there was no choice but the MOE said we had to do something even if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build another home.â&#x20AC;?

He thinks now that it is done it is phenomenal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By it being here it sets the future for this town. It is a ter-

tiary system, which means it can take whatever comes in the future,â&#x20AC;? said Lunney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really forward thinking, I am really happy to have been a part of it and everyone on the project has been incredible.â&#x20AC;?

Member of Parliament for Carleton-Mississippi Mills Gordon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, was unable to attend the ceremony however, chief administrative officer Diane Smithson read a letter from him congratulating all who were involved in building this important piece of infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During this period of fiscal restraint, Canadians rightly expect their tax dollars to be spent wisely for projects, which will improve their communities and make them stronger,â&#x20AC;? stated Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is why the federal government targeted infrastructure funds towards projects like this which benefit the community for the long-term.

This plant will enable Almonte to continue to grow and thrive in the years ahead.â&#x20AC;?

The plant is an extended aeration wastewater treatment with tertiary treatment and is designed for a population of 8,100 (Urban) it is projected to serve the town with no need for upgrades until 2031. The average daily flow is 4,700m3/day with a maximum daily flow (MDF) of 14,100m3/day. The septage treatment is 35m3/day (Designed for Rural Growth through to 2031) and flows in excess of MDF will be diverted to Lagoon Cell A and pumped back through plant after peak event. There is also a standby power â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 750 KW Diesel Generator. Gemmills Bay Pumping station (beside power generating plant), was

also upgraded, it now has a maximum of 28,100 m3/day c/w backup pumping capability A basic explanation of the how the plant works is as follows: All of the raw sewage gets pumped to the plant starting out at the head works bar screen, which removes large debris including rocks, small stones, gravel and other grit removal. The second step is the aeration tank where the water is constantly mixed with air and the clear water rises to the

top, to go through a sand filter.

After this step, the sludge materials are removed, processed and ultimately dewatered to enable materials to be safely used for agricultural purposes per the Nutrient Management Act. The last step is where the water is sent through ultraviolet equipment, which provides final treatment for the removal of harmful bacteria such as EColi. The effluent released to the river meets all provincial regulatory requirements.

Victory Tree Ceremony commemorates the lives lost of Carleton Place citizens as a result of military service tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – To remember community members who served the nation and lost their lives during the First and Second World Wars as well as the Korean War, 94 Autumn Blaze Maples are being planted on school and public properties throughout Carleton Place as part of the municipality’s Victory Tree Program.

Coun. Rob Probert spearheaded the initiative.

Last Thursday afternoon (Sept. 27) an emotional Victory Tree Ceremony was carried out at beautiful Riverside Park – one of the identified locations.

“It was a notable event,” said Probert.

Council members, town staff, Carleton Place High School (CPHS) students and residents joined alongside other special guests.

After it became clear that the town’s street naming program honouring veterans would take decades to complete, Probert again took up the challenge of acknowledging those in the community who made the ultimate sacrifice, Mayor Wendy LeBlanc told the crowd.

“He developed the Victory Tree Program – obtaining grants and receiving support from council, town staff and the school boards,” she continued.

Carleton Place was selected

by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) and Tree Canada to receive a matching grant of $15,000

Carleton Place High School (CPHS) adopted 25 fallen heroes from the town’s cenotaph. They are commemorated at the school by a stand of Autumn Blaze Maples. Coun. Rob Probert presents a plaque listing the names to Erin McLeod and Nelson Parker, CPHS’ student council co-presidents. from the TD Green Streets program for its Victory Tree Program.

District vice president at TD Bank Group, Alfonso Movilla noted the 2012 TD Green Streets program received 100 applications, and Carleton Place was one of 21 municipalities selected to receive a grant.

“TD, along with its employees, is proud to support your community,” he said.

LeBlanc said Probert’s dream has become a reality.

Sarah Lawless Ajibade, regional manager of TD FEF, said the town’s application spoke to what TD FEF was looking for.

“The Victory Tree Program is unique, and we are excited to be involved,” she added.

With the funds in hand a decision was made to distribute the trees to each of the Carleton Place schools.

“The Victory Tree Program serves our community in many ways,” LeBlanc commented.

“It serves as a living memorial to our fallen, it serves as another means to educate our youth as they care and enjoy the trees in their school yards, and it serves to beautify our town in a most befitting way.”

Anne McRae, trustee with the Upper Canada District

School Board (UCDSB), called the planting a way to remember the past and a renewal of life.

Other speakers included Victoria Hemming, superintendent with the UCDSB, and Eric Hardie, principal at CPHS. CPHS will plant 25 new trees, and a plaque listing the names of the individuals honoured was presented to the secondary school.

In addition to speeches, festivities last week included the singing of O Canada, a prayer by Rev. David Andrew of St. James Anglican Church, wreath laying and sod turning

by CPHS student council copresidents (Erin McLeod and Nelson Parker), and procession by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 and Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Lanark 211 colour parties.

The three trees planted in Riverside Park are in honour of Private James Herbert McKittrick (planted last year on Canada Day), Private William Lockhard Campbell and Buddy Fox. McKittrick 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.

Eighteen-year-old Campbell was the first reported death in the First World War – killed April 26, 1915 at Ypres in Belgium.

“This was one of the long protracted battles of the war – trench warfare and all that is bad,” explained Probert.

Fox was killed while on

training exercises in Germany during the First World War. Jim McCready, chair of the Urban Forest River Corridor Advisory Committee, thanked Probert for putting the program forward, and he thanked the McKittrick family and TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Tree Canada.

“Trees are very important to the infrastructure of our community,” he noted.

“One tree provides oxygen for four people every day.”

“Thank you, Rob, for your vision and your dedication,” LeBlanc said, “and seeing the Victory Tree Program come to fruition.”

Carleton Place garbage sticker policy modified

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Change is coming on June 1, 2013.

Carleton Place is modifying its existing garbage sticker policy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a policy that has been in place for approximately two decades.

The biggest change, which is specific to Carleton Place, is going to non-stickered garbage, said Wendy LeBlanc, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor. The adjustment stems from a joint Municipal Recycling Strategy (MRS) between Carleton Place and four neighbouring municipalities: Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley,

Mississippi Mills and Montague.

In the past, 60 free garbage stickers have been distributed annually to residential property owners and 36 to owners or tenants of industrial/commercial/institution (ICI) use buildings.

LeBlanc said the system commands a large amount of staff time to administer and police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some members of the public abuse it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stickers are photocopied or ripped in half,â&#x20AC;? she explained.

Next year, commencing June 1, all residential households and ICI use buildings

will be permitted one nonstickered garbage bag/container at the curb on collection day.

If more than one garbage bag/container is required to meet disposal needs, stickers can be purchased for $2 each at the locations where they are at the moment sold (Town Hall, IDA, etc.).

Wayne Fraser, public works development coordinator, in a recent report to council, noted the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contractor would only pick up an extra garbage bag/ container at each stop if the garbage bag/container has a sticker affixed.

Carleton Place Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market Annual Harvest Festival Oct. 6

This is the last opportunity for the community to bid on over 40 available auction items, and there are many unique items to bid on for those hard to buy for individuals. Consider a Celtic Drum or a thumb piano (Mbira), or for those cooks in your family, why not bid on a Tajine or a George Foreman Grill. There are also many local services that offer their expertise, including legal and hair salon services.

With over $3,000 in items up for auction, consider stopping by to check out the preChristmas deals that have been graciously donated by local residents and businesses.

Bidding takes place at the CPFM between 8 a.m. to noon, Sept. 22 to Oct. 6.

to $30 for a removal company,â&#x20AC;? she continued.

Furthermore, another change recommended to the Garbage Collection Bylaw, all refrigeration appliances placed at the curb must display appropriate notice that the appliance has been legally voided of all refrigerant gas.

Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of higher scrap metal prices, the town has a problem with metal appliances being scavenged after they are placed at the curb by homeowners. Many of these appliances have not been voided of refrigerant gases and it is highly probable that these gases are being illegally released into the atmosphere.

We have an environmental responsibility to prevent this.

Making the homeowner responsible for having these units decommissioned prior to placing them at the curb will solve this problem. The

homeowner has another option. When buying new appliances, they can make removal of their old appliance part of the deal with the retailer.â&#x20AC;?

Modifying the garbage sticker policy is a big change but a positive change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It a positive change for the environment,â&#x20AC;? said LeBlanc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be doing this. The town is being proactive.â&#x20AC;?

A public works environmental student will be hired in the spring to help promote the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revised waste management programs and to help monitor the proposed changes.

The number of dwelling units in multi-unit buildings still needs to be examined so that the number of free garbage bags/containers can be determined at these locations, said LeBlanc.

LeBlanc said the town understands that people tend to put out more garbage at Christmas time. Therefore, three non-stickered bags/containers will be accepted.

The mayor admitted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be issues.â&#x20AC;?

For instance, some individuals may place their garbage in front of another residence or in a remote area rather than buy supplementary stickers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will monitor this, but neighbours tend to keep an eye on things,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report also revealed a new style of sticker will be implemented once the change takes effect; however, the old stickers will continue to be honoured until May 31, 2020.

Large items and appliances will now require four stickers instead of the present two, said LeBlanc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still only $8 compared

Isaacs explained the proof finish gives it a contrast or pop with a 3-D effect. It is comparative to a clay carving where they would have to perfect for days.

It allows them to emphasize the different features.

“It is considered the finest quality of coin and this technique allows you to have contrast,” noted Isaacs.

Australia has toyed with some fairly large coins but there has never been a coin this size struck in North America.

“Some jumbo coins are big but not artistic,” said Isaacs.

EMC News – The Spirit of Haida Gwaii Fine Silver Coin, is not your typical type of spare change.

The five-kilo, 99.99 per cent pure silver coin, which has a face value of $500 and a retail cost of $10,000 is a masterpiece to say the least.

The coin is one of only 100 made by the Royal Canadian Mint and is on display until the end of October at Alliance Coin and Banknote at 88 Mill St. in Almonte.

Numismatist Sean Isaacs explained that the store purchased the coin at the request of one of its best customers who has allowed him to display it at the store so the public can see it.

“We are lucky to get number 27! I own it but a long standing customer from the Ottawa area has committed to buy it,” said Isaacs.

“The Mint does not even have one on display.

I am pleased to have it on display because now is your opportunity to see it. The coin is essentially a piece of Inuit Art.” The coin depicts Bill Reid’s Spirit of Haida Gwaii, which is also on the back of the $20 bill.

“It’s a really cool coin and you will probably never see something like this again,” said Isaacs.

“As a coin, it’s beautiful artistically and it’s technically

“They wanted to do Bill Reid justice, clearly they took extra care and hand finished every coin.”

The coin arrived at the store in a collector’s box made of Canadian walnut wood and to ensure secure shipping the collector’s box was placed inside a watertight, crushproof and dust proof Pelican Case 1550.

“The funny thing is when I opened it the case was empty and I thought for a minute that the coin was missing,” explained Isaacs with a chuckle.

“There was a sunken compartment and then we saw it.

The picture just can’t do it justice.”

If you want to see the coin for yourself up close, don’t forget to visit Alliance Coin and Banknote at 88 Mill St. in Almonte before the end of October.

OPINION

Canadian Gazette - Your Community Newspaper

EDITORIAL

Britain, Canada to share cozy future abroad?

EMC Editorial – Canadian and British diplomats will soon be getting very cosy together.

It actually makes sense to pool resources where we can to promote our collective interests.

As British Prime Minister David Cameron said during his speech to our parliament last year, “We are two nations, but under one Queen, and united by one set of values.”

Under this deal, Canada and Britain will share space and collaborate on consular services in a “handful of areas” where one or the other country does not already have a presence diplomatically.

It’s good that Britain will

operate out of Canada’s mission in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, while Canada’s ambassador to Burma will hang his hat at Britain’s embassy there. Britain works out of Canada’s mission in Mali.

But while those broad values are the same, God is in the details, and in the more fine details, there are points of departure. There are some legitimate points to ponder on this, beyond saving dollars and pounds.

Think back to 2003 and a major policy difference between London and Ottawa – the invasion of Iraq.

Ottawa chose not to join the coalition of the willing, while

Britain sent the second-largest contingent of troops to attack Iraq.

At the very least, things would be a little testy around the joint British-Canadian water cooler.

Another blurring of the lines would be, say, Guantanamo Bay. Britain has brought its prisoners home. Canada, however, remains the only country to still have one of its prisoners in the Cuban camp. What about our differences over South African apartheid in the 1980s?

Just because both countries have Conservative prime ministers now, doesn’t mean that it will always be so. Remember Marga-

ret Thatcher and Pierre Trudeau in the early 80s? There were two polar opposite world views.

Also, whither Quebec? This essentially shows that the Tories have run up the flag of trying to make inroads in the province.

Granted, the Brits are our good friends, but are we not a member of La Francophonie too? Why not seek out a similar deal with France?

The Chinese are beating Africa’s door down, snapping up resources and United Nations votes. Why let them go unchallenged there? With our shared linguistic heritage, Canada is uniquely positioned to be in a good place there.

Also, considering its colonizing history, there are some places where the British union jack is not looked upon kindly. Would it not send a mixed message to have

the maple leaf flying beside it?

There are also some who see this as a step backward. The Treaty of Westminster in 1931 allowed Canada to be able to step forward and represent itself abroad. Now that we have added the royal monikers back to the Royal Canadian Air Force and Navy, it appears that we are inching closer back to the old colonial model, after decades of trying to step away from being under Britain’s shadow.

At the same time, most people can make a differentiation when it comes to the big picture. After kicking Iran’s diplomats out of Canada, and closing down our embassy in Tehran, the Italians will now represent any Canadians traveling in that country.

Though he is no longer that country’s prime minister, no one on earth is going to confuse

Stephen Harper with party-boy Silvio Burlesconi.

The British have their own reasons for doing this. They are hoping to counter the influence of the European Union, according to the Daily Mail. Britain is also hoping to hammer out a similar deal with other Commonwealth countries New Zealand and Australia.

Interestingly, while the Conservatives announced that they would save $80 million on foreign properties and missions, the British, according to The Guardian, reported that the Foreign Office is expanding its presence in India, China, Brazil, Turkey and Kyrgyzstan.

So Paul Dewar, the New Democrats’ foreign affairs critic might be on to something – are we pawns in Britain’s diplomatic posturing against the EU? We’ll see.

Some may have noticed I am now writing under a new name.

I am a very lucky woman, who can say I had the fortune of marrying my best friend and soulmate, Sept. 15.

After he proposed Christmas morning, 2011, we spent the last nine months planning for our big day. And it turned out perfectly.

Our only complaint was it went by too quickly. I woke up that morning thinking time would drag on until our 2:30 appointment in front of everyone at the church. Boy, was I wrong. The morning was spent getting my hair and makeup done, while my maid of honour, Theresa Fritz sat with me. Many will recognize Theresa’s name, as she is a colleague of mine here at EMC. From the hairdressers it was back to my parents to get my dress on and have some pictures taken. It was all too soon that the limo arrived and we piled in to make our way to the church.

Standing in what our minister called the “nervous bride’s room” I didn’t find myself nervous about marrying my soulmate, just nervous perhaps

MARLA DOWDALL Marla’s Moments that someone would trip on their way down the aisle. Both my mother and father walked me to the front of the church to my awaiting fiance, Shawn. It was hard to not take in all the eyes on me, there were many at the church. But looking into Shawn’s eyes after spending a night away from him, the first in a very long time, kept me walking forward.

The day was so special.

Everything seemed to go off without a hitch - the minister was wonderful, the service was beautiful, not too long, not too short. The people we love and who are most important to us were involved and in attendance.

The weather was beautiful as we made our way to a local museum for some outdoor pictures in the beautiful garden setting.

There were just a few raindrops, but then again, they say that is good luck, and it was over almost before it began.

After the pictures it was off to

the Smiths Falls legion for the very delicious dinner and then reception.

Our disc jockey, Jeff Julian impressed the audience and had people up dancing all night. There was a lineup for the cake as those who came couldn’t get enough of it and perhaps what was the best part of the evening, was the fact we were surrounded by people who love and care for us. Those people were able to share the most special day of our lives.

I can say I am a very lucky woman - I have a great family, a great new family, and tons of amazing friends.

And most important of all, I can say the rest of my life will be spent with someone who loves, cherishes, treats me with respect and is the most kind and special man I know.

As corny as the line in the “Jerry Maguire” movie was, Shawn truly completes me.

Life is complete now, life is good.

After spending millions of dollar to ensure that Highway 7 only had controlled access and all houses have either been moved or destroyed along the highway, thus no children on the road, the authorities (whoever they are) have determined that the speed limit leaving Carleton Place

for Ottawa should be 60 for the first 2 km and 80 from there on.

It is not any better driving to Carleton Place from Ottawa.

The speed limit is reduced to 80, 3 km before the lights and to 60 at least one km before the lights.

I have spoken with many residents of Carleton Place

and no one understands why the speed has been set so low.

Can someone tell me why? Other than to make it easier to issue speeding tickets.

Will we see changes if enough of us dare to complain?

DEAR EDITOR:

I would like to thank everyone who shared their kind words and well wishes on the stage one river clean-up project undertaken on the Mississippi River at the end of August and into September, especially the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff and council.

Many people have asked me what my motivation was in undertaking such a project, and my answer was and still is straight forward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; aware-

ness.

This summer I had several guests from out of town visiting for the day. We walked the beautiful pathways in town and noticed along the river trail at the McNeely Avenue bridge an unusual amount of metal and plastic in the water.

The next day I began a week long survey of the river within the town limits of Carleton Place.

What I discovered was unacceptable and motivated

me to pursue the stage one clean up of the river between Arklan Island and the Lake Avenue West boat launch.

After spending two weeks cleaning up the river, I now realize that each one of us can make a difference when it comes to making things right with the environment and the river we so dearly depend on for our drinking water.

penses, such as camping, canoeing and hiking equipment, camp and sleepover fees, and local and national jamborees.

As the Scouts Canada slogan

says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It starts with Scoutsâ&#x20AC;&#x153;.

Thank you.

Elizabeth Docker Group Commissioner Carleton Place Scouting

Respectfully, Doug Snedden

DEAR EDITOR:

On Thursday morning, Aug. 16, my better half had a massive GI bleed.

We wish to thank the Lanark County paramedics who responded swiftly to my 911 call â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they were definitely instrumental in saving his life.

They transported him to the Carleton Place hospital where he received life saving care by the Emergency Department doctor on duty and nurses.

The paramedics stayed

with him and then transported him to the Emergency Department at the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus.

We also want to thank Dr. Gray, the Emergency Department doctor on duty, who jumped in the ambulance and transfused him all the way to the Civic.

Without her he would have died from blood loss.

He lost eight pints of blood in a few hours and 15 total.

This letter of thanks is

long overdue, as the same paramedics have responded to me (2005), my late step dad (2001), my late mom (2011) and my Ian (2012).

These professional workers are overworked and underpaid in my view, and you can take that to the bank!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

DEAR EDITOR:

On behalf of Carleton Place Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers, I would like to thank the residents of Carleton Place for their support on our 2012 Apple Day which was held on Saturday, Sept. 29.

I would also like to thank the merchants who allowed us to collect donations and hand out apples outside their businesses.

Roy Brown mural garnering a lot of attention

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

A mural in downtown Carleton Place at the corner of Bridge and High streets commemorates Captain Arthur ‘Roy’ Brown. He is the First World War flying ace officially credited with shooting down German pilot Baron Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron). men from Carleton Place who fought during the First World War. Flynn for the last four years has coordinated the municipality’s downtown building painting work. Earlier projects include the old business identity murals at 176 Bridge St. (formerly Patterson Funeral Home), which was completed in 2009, and the Taylor Hardware building (167 Bridge St.), which was finished in 2010.

No project was embarked on last year.

The yearly budget for mural work is $10,000, which is part of the Community Development Committee budget.

“It is expected that council will see the value in this portrayal of our history and heritage, and approve this expenditure in future years,”

this year (Sept. 2) in Arizona at the age of 90.

Members of the Roy Brown Society decided that a painting

by Stephen Quick, taken from a book by Lieutenant-Colonel David L. Bashow called Knights of the Air, depicting Canadian fighter pilots during the First World War, would be perfect for the mural.

“Before work began, John Corneil, a member of the Roy Brown Society and the former manager of Artifact Collection and Conservation of same at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, joined by Shaun McInnis, visited Stephen Quick in Gatineau to get approval and verify colouring of the aircraft,” explained Flynn.

Going forward there are plans for more murals, but permission has not been sought at this time for locations.

said Flynn.

The location for the Brown mural was the idea of Paul Sorfleet (Valley Design), local Business Improvement Association (BIA) chair.

Flynn contacted Jeff Jackson of Felix Property Inc., the owners of the building, to ask permission to paint the mural.

He also inquired if they would share the cost of repairing the south wall before work commenced.

“Jeff agreed,” he said, “and I contacted Colin Coveny of Heritage Brick & Stone Craft to carry out the work.”

The repairs, which cost $2,200, began on Sept. 4 and were completed within one week.

McInnis started painting on Sept. 17. He set an end date of Sept. 30.

EMC News – It’s a bird… it’s a plane…it’s Captain Arthur ‘Roy’ Brown.

Carleton Place is commemorating its most well known resident by way of a mural, located downtown on the south side of the building at the corner of Bridge and High streets.

Brown is the First World War flying ace officially credited with shooting down German pilot Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron) on April 21, 1918, in the skies over war-torn France.

“The debate about who actually shot down the Red Baron has raged since the day of the event,” noted Coun. Jerry Flynn.

“Even though Roy Brown was officially credited with his downing, the Australians have always claimed that it was their ground gunners who did the deed.”

Ottawa artist Shaun McInnis painted the mural, which was completed last week.

“It’s absolutely unbelievable!” exclaimed Flynn.

“As soon as you hit the bridge it’s in your face. People can’t believe how beautiful it is.”

The councillor first met McInnis six years ago when he painted the mural on the side of the building housing Natural Pet Foods.

“Being very impressed with his work, I contacted him,” he said.

A painted likeness of Brown is part of the mural, and a plaque will be installed communicating his story.

The sign will also commemorate the other 14 air-

is not known at this time, said Flynn.

Roy Brown Society Flynn, Coun. Rob Probert (chair), the late Brian Costello and others co-founded the Roy Brown Society.

They wanted to give the flying ace the acknowledgment he deserves.

An aviation museum, the vision of the Roy Brown Society, is proposed for the historic Moore House on Bridge Street – to tell the stories of Brown and the other young men from Carleton Place who were pilots during the First World War. About three years ago Margaret Harmon, Brown’s daughter, generously offered to donate memorabilia associated with her father to the municipality. These items will go on display.

The report’s acute care ratings are based on a survey of overall satisfaction among adults with an inpatient stay in one of Ontario’s acute care hospitals.

The emergency department ratings are based on a survey of satisfaction with an emergency department visit in an Ontario hospital.

Overall, the report says patients with an inpatient stay or an emergency department visit in a small hospital indicated higher overall satisfaction.

The NRC Picker Canada report is titled Patient Ratings of Overall Satisfaction and Likelihood to Recommend for Ontario Hospitals – Percent Positive Scores and Associated Percentile Rankings for Acute Care, Emergency Department, Rehabilitation and Maternity – 2010-11.

The report says it identifies hospitals in the 90th to 99th percentile to, “highlight excellent performance based on patient perceptions and to identify those hospitals that may have good practices in place that others may be interested in.”

NRC Picker Canada prepared the report in response to requests from hospitals for percentile rankings and identification of top-performing hospitals.

NRC Picker Canada is the pre-eminent national provider of health care measurement and improvement solutions across the continuum of care. It provides a holistic approach to measuring and improving patient-centered care.

Almonte General Hospital (AGH) has been identified as one of Ontario’s top-performing hospitals for patient satisfaction with acute care.

The ranking is in an NRC Picker Canada report released September 7, 2012.

The report places AGH in the 90th percentile ranking for overall patient satisfaction with acute care and for the number of acute care patients who said they would recommend AGH to their family or friends.

AGH was also in the 90th percentile ranking for the number of emergency department patients who said they would recommend the Hospital to their family and friends.

Save LAWS from closure; Pet Fest Oct. 13 in Carleton Place

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Help save the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) shelter!

LAWS has been caring for abused, abandoned and lost animals for more than 25 years, and it needs your help through a period of unprecedented animal intake, decreased donations and a lull in adoptions.

“LAWS is one of two no kill shelters in all of Ontario,” said Liz Taylor, LAWS Board of Directors, “and without the necessary funds we will be forced to close by Dec. 31 (this year).”

The shelter, located in Smiths Falls, sees operating expenses of $75,000-$80,000 monthly, and approximately $40,000 is spent on veteri-

nary care.

The LAWS team (staff, board and volunteers) is set to host a number of family and pet friendly fundraising events in the coming days, including the inaugural Pet Fest in Carleton Place on Saturday, Oct. 13.

From 12 to 5 p.m., dogs and their owners will have a yelping good time.

Have a picture taken of you and your dog at Picture It Studio (154 Beckwith St.), and enjoy a number of festivities at the historic Moore House, located at 174 Bridge St. (across from the Town Hall). There will be a LAWS booth and some adoptable pets, as well as face painting and a visit from Wayne Cavanagh of 92.3 JACK FM in Smiths Falls. Kids will love

the creature features – Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo (1 to 2 p.m. - $2), Zoo Crew (2:30 to 3 p.m. - by donation) and the conservation presentation Save the Salamanders (1212:30 p.m. - by donation).

Enjoy beer tasting, good food and musical entertainment (Jack Spinks Band and others) on the patio at Slackoni’s Restaurant, in addition to an all-day silent auction.

All dogs attending Pet Fest must be well behaved, on leash and under control at all times.

Finish the day off at the elegant Black-Tie White-Paws dinner at Slackoni’s Restaurant. Guests will enjoy a five-course gourmet dinner, wine tasting with sommelier (Pondview Estate Winery from Niagara-on-the-Lake),

silent auction wrap up and much more.

“Seating is limited,” said Taylor. “There are 50 spots available.”

Tickets are $100 per plate.

They are available at Slackoni’s Restaurant (35 Mill St. or 613-492-1004) or by emailing events@lanarkanimals. ca.

“Rob (Slack) and I are animal lovers,” said Janet Bova of Slackoni’s Restaurant.

“LAWS’ need is urgent and we wanted to get involved.”

Support of Pet Fest, BlackTie White-Paws and other LAWS events will go a long way in helping to assist the 800-1,400 animals passing through the shelter each year.

If you are unable to attend these events, donations to LAWS can be made in person

at the shelter (253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls) or by mail (P.O. Box 156, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1). A donation form can be found on its web-

EMC News – Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful, especially for the food in the cupboard.

Nadine Kennedy, manager for the Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB) says there is a need for food in Lanark County.

“We are always in need, 365 days not just at Thanksgiving and at Christmas time,” said

Kennedy. “People go away for the summer and forget about us.

Anything anyone could give us would be a big help!”

The Food Bank averages 250 families per month and distributes 5-6,000 kgs of food a month, as well as 10 to 12 new families every month.

Community concert for Champions for Kids needs volunteers tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – The Champions for Kids concerts are going to be out of this world but they need your help.

Anne McRae, trustee for Ward 1 in the Upper Canada District School Board, has accepted the challenge from fellow trustee, Caroll Carkner (Ward 11) to organize a local fundraiser in support of the Champions for Kids Foundation (CKF).

“They are great kids and they can be champions of champions and we can expose their talents,” said McRae. The ‘Constellation of Stars for Champions’ concert will be for the Almonte Family of Schools on Sunday, Nov. 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Almonte District High School. The second concert is for the Carleton Place Family of schools; the ‘Galaxy of Stars for Champions’ concert will be held at Carleton Place High School on Sunday, Dec. 9 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Tickets for each concert cost $10 each. Family ticket prices are available.

McRae has put a call out to

each school and is hopeful each school will be represented. So far they already have a number of entertainers confirmed including: Almonte Academy of Dance, IMPACT, Pat Gray Band, Sound Sweet, the Carleton Place High School Jazz band and the Almonte District High School.

McRae explains the magical element about Ward 1 is the many artistic, talented and committed people within its boundaries. She hopes the community will embrace the concerts by lending a hand to help out.

“It’s incredible the way people in our community can be champions,” said McRae. “If you can’t give money you can give your time and it is a wonderful way to give back to your community.”

The following volunteer positions are open for both concerts: decorating convenor, decorating team, ticket sales convenor, concert ticket collectors, cashiers, refreshment stand workers, entertainers (individuals, duets, trios, bands, dancers; priority will be given to students but open to the community), curtain

person, sound manager and assistants.

There will be a silent auction at each concert (donations accepted) and a unique star fundraiser. Children from the local schools will be making tissue paper star decorations, which will be on sale as well.

“The whole idea is: Champions are stars and I believe that there is a star in everyone,” said McRae. The CKF was started in 2008 and since that time $500,000 has been raised to discreetly help students be involved in sports, art programs or medical expenses across the entire school board.

“It levels the playing fields for students who for no rea-

son of their own they are having economic difficulty,” said McRae. “The family can’t afford things such as dental work or glasses … all of these things affect learning as well and the foundation ensures that these needs are meet.”

Students are referred to the foundation through school principals and the foundation then directly sends payment to dance studios, dentists, or medical offices for the needs that a family cannot afford.

“By being involved in a variety of activities it continues to stimulate children and their development and it provides relief to families,” said McRae. “In our board 15 to 20 per cent of students have

been helped and those are the families we know who are (in) need. As a parent who raised three kids I know what it is about and my heart goes out to those families.”

Anyone who is interested in volunteering with the concerts is encouraged to contact

McRae also wants to make it clear that she has not quit her position. She has every intention to finish her term as trustee and is eager to focus on the upcoming concerts to support the community.

THE EMC - 42 - Thursday, October 4, 2012

Fred passed away, peacefully, at Lanark Lodge, on Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Fred Walker, at the age of 97 years. A devoted and loving husband, he was predeceased by his beloved wife, Marjorie, in 2011. He will be sadly missed by his children (by birth and marriage), his grandchildren, and one great grandchild, as well as friends from near and far. Fred was a loving and supportive father, and a fantastic grandfather. A world traveler, he and Marjorie visited 38 countries in their 60 plus years together. A life long scholar, Fred had a particular interest in Mesoamerican cultures- Maya, Aztec, Anasazi etc. Intrepid explorers, he and Marjorie visited Mayan ruins in the Yucatan back in the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, before many of the sites were cleared or open to tourists. Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of learning is one of the many gifts he has passed along to all those who had the privilege of spending time with him.

In keeping with Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, there will be no visitation or formal service. Give someone you love a hug, in memory of Fred, and the next time you are on an adventure of your own in some farflung country, think about how much Fred and Marjorie would have loved to be there with you!

Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the entire staff of the Lanark Lodge, for the love, concern, and exemplary care that our father (and our mother) received while residents there. Fred was an avid supporter of the Guatemala Stove Project (www.guatemalastoveproject.org) Contributions in Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name will help build stoves to benefit the respiratory health of Guatemalan families.

CL382196

Passed away peacefully at Lanark Lodge, Monday, October 1, 2012 at the age of 86 years.

He leaves to mourn his beloved wife and best friend of over sixty-five years, Ella (Ily) MacLeod; their children, Jim, Dave (Denise), Bruce (Emma), Doug (Lu-Anne), Jeff, Liz (Paul), Barb (Greg) and KC (Ron). He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, his sister and daughter-in-law (Sue Connell). Mr. Connell lived a full and distinguished life. Born and educated in Nova Scotia schools and at Acadia University, he began his working life with the Royal Bank of Canada as a teller. He left the bank and with Ily, his Whycocomagh bride, moved to Ontario to begin married life and pursue a career in personnel administration, working progressively for private industry companies including Lucas Rotax, Frigidaire, Union Carbide, Lake Ontario Portland Cement and Allied Chemical. Those early years saw Peter and Ily (and a steadily increasing number of children) living in Toronto, Belleville, Montreal, Picton and Montreal again.

In 1966, Mr. Connell moved his family to Ottawa, where he joined the federal public service as Director of Personnel for Transport Canada.

He was instrumental in the establishment of the Transport Canada Training Institute in Cornwall, Ontario, still operational today. In 1970, Mr. Connell was appointed Deputy Secretary (Personnel Policy) at the Treasury Board working under then Treasury Board President, the Honourable Jean Chretien. Mr. Connell was appointed Deputy Minister, National Revenue (Customs and Excise) in 1974 and served in that role for 7 years during which time he directed the development of the Canada Customs College at Rigaud, Quebec. To his great pleasure, the college was officially opened as the J.P. Connell Campus in spring of 1980. While Deputy Minister at Customs and Excise, Mr. Connell was elected Vice-President and then President, of the International Customs Cooperation Council based in Brussels, Belgium. In 1982, Mr. Connell was appointed Deputy Minister of Agriculture where he remained until his retirement from the federal public service in 1986.

While at Agriculture Canada, he led delegations to countries throughout the world including the former Soviet Union, China, New Zealand, Australia, Venezuela, and Mexico. In 1983, Mr. Connell had the privilege to welcome Mikhail Gorbachev to the Central Experimental Farm during Mr. Gorbachev’s first visit to Canada. Mr. Connell was a proud and true public servant, respectfully honoured at his official retirement when presented with a Canadian flag and flag pole, and a rose bearing his name, the J.P. Connell rose. The characteristics of the rose were described to be much like his “…mostly without thorns, capable of surviving the sometimes (politically) cold Ottawa winters, producing beautiful lemony flowers for all to enjoy.” After leaving the public service, Mr. Connell managed his own consulting firm where his expertise was sought to lead the agricultural trade negotiation team for the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) alongside Chief Negotiator, Simon Reisman. He continued to serve, sitting on the boards of directors for the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the University of Guelph, Kemptville College Campus, as well as the committee for the restoration of the Spencerville Mill. In the early 1970s, Peter and Ily moved outside Ottawa to establish a working farm on 150 acres in Oxford Station, Ontario. Together, they cultivated and managed a successful breeding stock of Simmental cattle for almost 20 years, meeting many good people within the farming community.

(Outside the farming community, it was sometimes suggested Peter was a “gentleman farmer”, a term that he always contested with the same reply: “While I’ll admit to be a gentleman and a farmer, a gentleman farmer I am not.”) They sold the farm in 1990, downsizing to a smaller ten-acre farm property near Spencerville, Ontario. As he settled into his retirement years, Mr. Connell became J.P. and found great enjoyment in fishing trips and family gatherings at the farm. Together always with Ily, he raised sheep, indulged his interest in cooking and bread-making, and travelled (mostly to visit their children in various parts of the world, and family at home in Nova Scotia). Interestingly, he lived his later days as the co-proprietor, with Ily, of Connell Rose Bed & Breakfast, at their home. For several years, he played host to travellers from across Canada and around the world. As visitors entered the drive, they were greeted with the Canadian flag flying proudly, a row of J.P. Connell rosebushes, and J.P. himself. In 2009, Peter suffered a stroke, which eventually prompted a move to Perth, Ontario to be closer to family. Mr. Connell was deeply in love with his wife and immensely proud of his children. He did not want to grow old. He leaves behind memories of a lifetime of hard work and accomplishment, love, honour and respect. He will be so greatly missed, and always remembered.

Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. W. Perth on Thursday, October 4th, 2012 from 4:00 until 8:00 P.M. The service will be held in the Chapel on Friday at 11:00 A. M. Interment will be held at a later date in Round Hill, Nova Scotia. In remembrance, contributions to the Lanark Lodge Memorial Fund or the Salvation Army would be appreciated.

A hardy, beautiful rose.

PORTEOUS, Brenda June 26, 1952 Oct. 10, 2007 It’s been five years Since you left us dear You’re still missed and loved each and every year.

You have a new grandson Now that makes two You have Hunter, Now Tyson Who will never know you.

McLAREN, Andrew - Loved brother and uncle, killed by a drunk driver. Oct. 19\77 - Sept.

28\96.

‘Tis that time of year again, a time I’d like to forget.

It slowly crept upon us, reminding me, I can’t forget.

It’s in my heart, It’s on my mind, flashbacks are what I get, reliving it all over like an actress on a set.

From the moment we answered the door that morning, till the time we laid you down, I cannot stop this play I’m in, it’s like a merry-go-round.

No matter how many years go by, this play continues on.

For some of us it never ends, but goes on and on.

Maybe someday this play will end and I can take a final bow, letting others know that I made it through some how.

Wishful thinking on my part as I know it will never be.

When I get flashbacks of that horrible night, it consumes and swallows me.

Our hearts ache without you Andrew.

Love Stephanie and Blade

To all grandparents and victims of the social system -We the grandparents need to take a stand to bring back family values. We as grandparents have raised children and need to be given the respect we have earned. New parents, even if they wish to not have a relationship with their own mothers and fathers should not keep grandchildren from their grandparents. As grandparents, and the older generation, we have knowledge and experiences new parents don’t have as of yet. New parents seem to take advantage of us financially, through babysitting and more. When we wish to have a relationship with our grandchildren the favour is not returned. I make a plea to all grandparents to write a letter to us in support of grandparents everywhere -we need to be brought back into our grandchildren’s lives. (P.O.Box 455, Station Main, Perth ON K7H 3G1)

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Reverse logic at work in terms of rail travel EMC Lifestyle - We live in a Carleton Place neighbourhood where a rail freight line runs along the back of our property.

We bought this house with the full knowledge trains ran behind it. We’ve lived here for more than 20 years and have co-existed very nicely with the rail line. Sure there was the odd occasion when shunting freight cars in the middle of the night woke us up. Once in a while a train engineer would blow the whistle too long. And very rarely an idling engine proved to be an annoyance.

Mostly though the trains just rolled past and disappeared into the distance and more often than not they were a good time check.

We got used to the daily schedule and could pretty well predict when the next train would pass. We got so used to trains that the only time we took notice of them was when visitors would comment on the fact the tracks were close to our place.

We like trains and are more than content to see them running through our community.

Now the only trains which pass our subdivision are work trains. Crews are in the process of tearing up the rail freight line between Arnprior and Smiths Falls.

They haven’t reached Carleton Place yet but they are working in neighbouring Mississippi Mills, so our turn is coming soon.

The track itself and other infrastructure are being shipped west where it is being used to help lay a new line to the oil fields of northern Alberta.

Like so many Canadian communities Carleton Place was once a major rail hub. Freight and passenger services ran through the town and residents were once able to hop on the train in the morning and travel to nearby Ottawa for work or a day of shopping in the big city. At night they took the train home.

Those days are long gone. My wife and I moved here 36 years ago and the daily passenger service to and from Ottawa was already a distant memory.

The cross-country train ‘The Canadian’ called here right through the 1970s.

But in the early `80s the 28 kilometres of track between here and Nepean was closed and in the blink of an eye the tracks were torn up. It was incredible how fast that line disappeared!

I was the editor of the local community newspaper at the time. I wrote editorials lamenting the loss of the passenger rail line and predicted we would all live to regret that decision.

I’m sorry to say that I was absolutely right in this case. We now know that corridor and rail track

would have been the perfect channel for a light rail service from bedroom communities such as Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith Township to Ottawa where so many of our residents work.

True, they have finally completed the four-laning of busy Highway 7 from Stittsville west to Carleton Place and that is a Godsend.

Overcrowded roads On the other hand ask anyone in the “commuter army” from here and they will tell you the new highway “only gets you to the jam faster.” Highway 417 through Kanata and Nepean remains a bottleneck and it will probably continue to be despite a project aimed at widening the roadway to three lanes in each direction. There are simply too many cars and trucks, especially during rush hour Monday to Friday.

We need light rail to improve the passenger transportation links to the city. But with the rail infrastructure gone that is only a pipe dream. The cost of reestablishing such a system from scratch is totally cost prohibitive. Certainly government – the taxpayers –can’t afford to pay for it.

Shame on those shortsighted people who made the decision to tear up the passenger line in the early 1980s!

Now the same thing is happening to the freight line which, if there was any will to do so, could also serve as a passenger link.

But in a province where the road and street infrastructure is crumbling under the ever growing weight of more and more motor vehicles we are left with virtually no other good, surface travel options in so many communities. The bus is the best option here but that too is limited. At least you can grab a Greyhound to Toronto!

The only rail alternatives for people here are in Smiths Falls or Barrhaven, in south Ottawa, where VIA Rail stations are in place.

That line will get you to Brockville, Kingston, Toronto and points in between and is a very viable service.

But the line is inaccessible to so many people across Eastern Ontario, including ourselves.

They built a brand new VIA station in Smiths Falls recently. A great concept but the building is remarkably small, parking is limited and the washrooms were added as an afterthought.

Part of the limited thinking that clearly surrounds passenger rail service in this country!

We recently returned from Great Britain where people also complain long and loud about the deteriorating passenger rail service.

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

There is very little to complain about that we can see. After flying to Glasgow, via London, we spent a few days in Comrie, Scotland which is twinned with Carleton Place. We were there for 20th anniversary observances and represented our community as members of the Sister City Committee which I currently chair.

Part two of our UK visit was a week in London.

Kathleen and I and our friends Wendy and Frank LeBlanc (she is the current Mayor of Carleton Place) elected to take the train from Scotland to London.

We all enjoy train travel, especially in Europe where service is so much more advanced.

True there is no train to Comrie any more. Many small communities have been cut off which is unfortunate. But the train is not far away and the system works.

In this case our friend George Lees drove us to nearby Dunblane, the home of Olympic and U.S. Open men’s tennis champion Andy Murray. I mention Murray because in the wake of the Olympics there were signs in Dunblane congratulating their native son on his recent success!

From Dunblane we easily caught an early morning ScotRail commuter train to Edinburgh’s Waverley Street Station. The ride was smooth as silk and we arrived right on schedule.

Waverley Station doesn’t have a lot to recommend it really. A big, ugly barn of a place. But you can catch trains to communities across Scotland, England and Wales. We took the main east coast line from Edinburgh south to King’s Cross Station in London, a very familiar destination for Kathy and me.

On this trip the only stops were in Newcastleupon-Tyne, Darlington and York all in northeast England. From York it was a really fast, efficient run into London.

They have renovated King’s Cross over the past few years and it is even easier to get around now with new elevators added and other customer-friendly improvements made.

The taxi queue is in the same place it always was, opposite St. Pancras Station, and we soon caught a cab to our hotel.

A few days later we took the Brighton Express from Victoria Station in Central London to the south coast resort city, one of our favourite seaside destinations in Britain. After an enjoy-

merous factors at work here. But for my money we have completely missed the boat when it comes to this fast, efficient means of transportation and that is a terrible shame for all of us!

Where is the logic in what

we are doing in Canada when it comes to public transport?

If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by e-mail at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com

able, sunny day in Brighton we reversed field and headed back to London on a late afternoon train.

Everything went absolutely swimmingly. With rail passes pre-purchased at our local travel agent’s the process is amazingly simple. UK trains are almost as efficient as the London Tube which is absolutely incredible by the way!

We’ve traveled across the length and breadth of Britain by rail over the course of 17 years and rarely had a problem.

Meanwhile back in Canada to call rail travel “service” is being far too generous. The system stinks quite frankly and with more rail lines being torn up as we speak, the situation can only get worse.

In this day and age with fuel costs high, main roadways overcrowded and air travel cost prohibitive for many of us the railway just seems like such a wonderful alternative. If we had any rail links to speak of that is.

Obviously there are nu-

Scandia Business Park in Carleton Place expanding tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wally Thorbjornsson arrived in Canada from Iceland approximately 11 years ago. He spent the first couple of years in Ottawa, before moving up to Mississippi Lake in Carleton Place where he resides with his wife, Daja Kjartansdottir, and their four children: Asi (16), Agnes (13), William (6) and Kristjana (five). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was visiting and fell in love with the Canadian climate and people,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Thorbjornsson has been doing business in Carleton Place since 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I (first) had a company that built prefab houses,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we would ship from here to Iceland.â&#x20AC;?

Although the business died in the global recession, Thorbjornsson started to focus on more work in the fall of 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; developing the plans for Scandia Business Park. He purchased the land at 130 Industrial Ave. in 2004.

Seven units were constructed in 2010, followed by 32 units in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our units (commercial and industrial) are 100 per cent rented,â&#x20AC;? said Thorbjornsson.

Some of the business parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 33 tenants include TRIACTA, Ministry of Children and Youth Services, CP Rent-

als & Property Management, Von Shrader, Boss & Hilliard Construction, BCP Electrical Services, Carleton Granite, Ontario Linen Solutions, Velrando Kitchens and Bath, Infinity Marble, Seamless Auto Care, DICA Electronics Ltd., Kris Custom Cabinets, NAZ and Carleton Place Signs.

In excess of 100 people work inside Scandia Business Park.

Thorbjornsson is currently clearing land for further expansion (similar units) in 2013. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly ambitious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the winter months we will be clearing and preparing the site,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I hope to start construction this spring.â&#x20AC;?

Thorbjornsson already has a waiting list of prospective tenants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am successful because of what I can offer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a new unit at an affordable price, which is tailor made for the tenant,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Potential occupants come in and we talk, and using my collective experience I analyze their needs.â&#x20AC;?

CP Rentals & Property Management Thorbjornsson is a partner in CP Rentals & Property Management, along with Paul Gagnon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We manage your properties and take care of your tenants,â&#x20AC;? said Gagnon, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of success securing good tenants.â&#x20AC;?

Other services offered include home inspection (Gagnon is an expert) and design/ build construction.

Ten people are currently on staff; however, the number varies from season and depends on the project in progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We anticipate the number will grow,â&#x20AC;? said Thorbjornsson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as we build up our vision.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our combined experience make us a strong team,â&#x20AC;? said Gagnon.

Arts, a dance studio and a few artists.

Gagnon envisions a banquet hall for weddings, catering business, microbrewery and much more.

The building located behind the old mill will be demolished, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very excited about this project,â&#x20AC;? said Thorbjorns-

son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and have already done a few showings.â&#x20AC;?

The goal is to make the island a destination for Carleton Place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a European feel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am hoping to secure a hotel,â&#x20AC;? said Thorbjornsson.

He said the project would support everything Carleton Place already has to offer.

CP Rentals & Property Management, visit info@rental4you.ca.

Condominium In a non-related venture, plans for the McArthur Island Condominium (seven storeys), to be located at 100 Mill St., were unveiled during a launch party in 2011.

Small business provides jobs, tax revenues and many other contributions to our region.

Support Small Business

McArthur Island James Mikulasik, owner of McArthur Island in Carleton Place, hired Thorbjornsson and Gagnon, to work with a developer to create a concept and secure tenants (commercial and residential) for the location.

McArthur Island in Carleton Place is an extraordinary location on the Mississippi River â&#x20AC;&#x201C; close to the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown core, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have more than five acres available for building,â&#x20AC;? said Thorbjornsson.

On site is the old mill, a large historic building featuring four floors and a basement.

It has seen a multitude of uses in its 130-year history. Presently, the structure is home to the Mississippi School for the

Almonte High School students promise never to forget as they undertake Lest We Forget project

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC News –The Grade 10 History class at Almonte District High School is researching some of the most influential men in the history of Almonte.

They are uncovering the past of 19 men who lost their lives during the Second World Wars for the Lest We Forget Project. This is the first time the project has been undertaken in Almonte.

Grade 10 History teacher Jennifer Yake has wanted to do the Lest We Forget project for a number of years and finally has the right class to move forward.

“What’s most important here is that this program allows students to take on the role of a real-life ‘detective’ having to search through all kinds of different sources to find that information,” said Yake.

“The skills learned through this project will take them well beyond this History course!

And, the connections that they make with their community will last a lifetime.”

John Souter president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 in Almonte is thrilled the students are taking part in the project, which was pioneered by Blake Seward in

Almonte District High School Grade 10 students Jordan Wark and Jacob Bentley point to the soldiers they are researching for the Lest We Forget project.

Smiths Falls 10 years ago.

“The idea is to get the kids involved with local history of those who fell in times of war. We’ve tried to encourage it over the past few years and we are very happy that Jennifer has taken it up,” said

Souter.

“The kids will get a lot out of it, most of the soldiers went to Almonte District High School and Frank Fisher was a teacher at the school so some of the students will be able to relate to the stories.”

Regarding a Proposal to Engage in a Renewable Energy Project

By Beckwith Solar Inc. Project Name: ALMONTE SOLAR PROJECT Project Location: The Town of Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario.

Dated at: The Town of Mississippi Mills, this the 4th of October, 2012.

Beckwith Solar Inc. (Beckwith Solar) is planning to engage in a renewable energy project in respect of which the issuance of a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) is required. The proposal to engage in the Project and the Project itself are subject to the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act of Ontario (Act) Part V.0.1 and Ontario Regulation 359/09 (Regulation). This notice is being distributed in accordance with Section 15.2 of the Regulation following posting of the Project on the Environmental Registry.

Project Description: Pursuant to the Act and Regulation, the facility, in respect of which this Project is to be engaged in, is considered to be a Class 3 solar facility. If approved, this facility would have a total maximum nameplate capacity of 10 Megawatts. The Project location in the Town of Mississippi Mills, Lanark County is described in the map to the right.

The Project is proposed on an 80 acre (32.4 hectare) parcel of privately leased land, and will consist of approximately 50,000 solar photovoltaic panels on fixed, ground-mounted racking structures. Other Project components include electrical inverter and intermediate step-up transformer clusters, electrical cabling, perimeter fencing, communication tower, and a main facility substation including a step-up transformer, control building and parking/storage areas.

Interconnection to the provincial grid will occur at an existing distribution line located in the right-of-way on the west side of County Road 29.

Documents for Public Inspection: The applicant has obtained or prepared, as the case may be, supporting documents, in order to comply with the requirements of the Act and Regulation. Copies of supporting documents have been made available for public inspection on the Project website: www.almontesolar.com

Project Contacts and Information: To learn more about the project, to be added to the project's contact list, or to communicate questions or comments, please contact:

what battalion the soldier was in, how many battles they saw and more.

The Legion is also covering the student’s photocopying costs during the workshop. Up to $500 has been earmarked for the project.

“We are very glad to do it because one of our mandates is to promote remembrance,” said Souter. “I would hope the Legion would get a hard copy of the students research and any photos they have been able to collect.”

As the students gathered around the cenotaph on Sept.

26 Souter asked them what it was. One youth responded that it was a place to remember everyone who fell in a time of war.

“That’s right,” said Souter. “It’s not just a place to come Nov. 11 but when you are passing by look at these names, many of them still exist in town and they will be a resource to you.”

Souter described to the See LEST page ACP15

NOTICE OF POSTING TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTRY

Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993: A proposal for a Renewable Energy Approval in respect of this renewable energy project has been posted on the Environmental Registry (www.ebr.gov.on.ca; Registry Number: 011-7237) referred to in Section 5 of the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993. Comments in respect of the proposal may be submitted to the Director of the Ministry of the Environment. All comments received prior to October 25, 2012 will be considered as part of the decision-making process by the Ministry of the Environment if they are submitted in writing or electronically using the form provided in the Environmental Registry notice.

Currently, there are less than a dozen veterans from the Second World War in Almonte, many of them are in their late 90’s. On the cenotaph there are 48 names listed from the First World War and 28 names listed from the Second World War marking those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“It’s a huge detective story for kids, it’s not just opening a textbook. They can go online and get some information as to where they were killed, buried and how old they were when they died,” explained Souter.

“I hope that at the end the students realize that it is not just an abstract name on a stone but it was a real person.

Someone’s son, brother, lover and a former student at their high school.”

On Oct. 17, the students will be attending a workshop at the Canadian War Museum, which is sponsored by the Legion. The students will see their soldier’s actual military files. These files will show

As it was unveiled veterans from the Fenian Raids, the Boer War and the American Civil war attended the ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you touch this cenotaph you have a connection with these guys from the 1860â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? exclaimed Souter.

The students have now delved into their research.

Most have been able to find the basic facts about their assigned soldier.

However, they are facing some challenges, including one soldier who has his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name inscribed on the cenotaph.

As the presentation ended Souter reminded the students of one key fact about the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are doing this not just for a credit but to honour those who have fallen in a time of war.â&#x20AC;?

students that the First World War was considered by many young soldiers as an adventure and a time to get off the farm.

He contrasted the war to end all wars with current conflict in Afghanistan; one main difference is all 158 soldiers killed in the Middle East, their bodies have returned to Canadian soil, unlike those killed in France or England almost 100 years ago.

He went on to tell the story of the cenotaph itself.

The cenotaph was built at the bequest of the late Lt. Alexander George Rosamond who was killed on Sept. 15, 1916.

His family owned a textile mill in Almonte and he was born in 1875, the same year as the high school was built.

Designed by R. Tait McKenzie, the cenotaph was built from Indiana limestone and the statue was cast in Philadelphia.

It was loaded off the train on Sept. 11, 1923 and was placed beside town hall.

Electoral boundaries debated at town council meeting

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Town of Mississippi Mills wants be included with Lanark County when it comes to the proposed new electoral boundaries.

On Oct. 2, Council defeated a motion that stated: the Town of Mississippi Mills approves forwarding Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to remain within the current electoral boundaries of Carleton-Mississippi Mills to the 2012 Federal Boundaries Commission.

In a recorded voted it was defeated six to four: yeas: councillors Bernard Cameron, Garry Dalgity, John Edwards, Alex Gillis and the nays were: councillors Duncan Abbott, Denzil Ferguson, John Levi, Shaun McLaughlin, Paul Watters and Val Wilkinson.

As the motion was defeated the Town will not be sending a letter to the Com-

mission on the new proposed boundaries.

The new proposed riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Hastings would have a population of 108,500 and would include the County of Hastings (except the Township of Tyendinaga; Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory Indian Reserve; the Town of Deseronto the cities of Quinte West and Belleville), the Township of Addington Highlands, Township of North Frontenac and Central Frontenac and the County of Lanark.

The current riding of Carleton Mississippi Mills (CMM) included the Town of Mississippi Mills with Kanata, Stittsville and West Carleton.

Levi was not in favour of joining within CMM in the electoral district reform because he believes that the riding will not be the same and the current MP will not always be there.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are willingly participating to have the county divided, we might not get the split the way we want and I think that is the wrong thing to do,â&#x20AC;? said Levi.

Levi also thought the rural parts of the riding would not be represented if someone was elected from Kanata and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where Mississippi Mills is.

Councillor Shaun McLaughlin thought the debate was frivolous because CMM will no longer exist.

Councillor Garry Dalgity countered by saying it was not frivolous because it does currently exist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are saying we are happy to the way it is,â&#x20AC;? said Dalgity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we get back in Lanark people will know we are part of Lanark not CMM, it does exist.â&#x20AC;?

Councillor Gillis thought being in CMM has worked well with the economic and

cultural connections with Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just wonderful to have the name of the county in the riding name,â&#x20AC;? said Gillis.

Councillor Wilkinson thought that Lanark County was better recognized than Mississippi Mills.

Councillor John Edwards understood the desire to stay with Lanark County but thought there was more of an economic connection with Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore the economic affect is marketed towards Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? said Edwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking west with all do respect is looking backward and looking to Ottawa is looking forward.â&#x20AC;?

Edwards also explained the Town has a lot in common with West Carleton in Ottawa.

For more information on the proposed riding changes

visit: www.redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca

Council Notes The Town is looking for funding options for a sound system in Council Chambers.

The Town approved a motion that supports the application for grant funding to a maximum of $50,000 under the Small Project Component of the Enabling Accessibility Fund with a commitment of 25 per cent of the cost from the Town.

Solar Power Solar power was a sunny topic at the council meeting as two motions were up for debate dealing with the energy source.

The first motion that council carried supported option one of the Plannerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report that the lands subjected to the Almonte Solar Project are located on prime agricultural

land and should not be used for a solar project.

Councillor Watters also suggested a letter should be sent to the MPP as he believed that another level of government should be aware of what they were doing.

The second motion that was also carried was that the Town support the Home Hardware rooftop solar application under the Ontario FIT program.

Mayor Levi was not a part of the discussion as he declared a conflict of interest.

Cameron thought solar was a good idea in the right place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better place,â&#x20AC;? added Edwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we need to support it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not downtown, it is highway commercial.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better location,â&#x20AC;? said Gillis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a wonderful opportunity for FIT.â&#x20AC;?

THE EMC - A/CP18 - Thursday, October 4, 2012

SPORTS

Canadian Gazette - Your Community Newspaper

Canadians split games last week; Club is ranked 16th in the nation play however they top the Yzerman Division standings with 12 points from eight games.

Last week they won all three contests played against tough opponents, including Carleton Place.

Their efforts didn’t go unnoticed!

When the CJHL released its Top 20 national rankings Monday morning Sens were 13th, the best standing of any club in the Eastern Ontario based CCHL. The only other league team to make the Top 20 is Carleton Place.

Leading all Canadian Junior A teams in the rankings this week is Brooks (Alberta) Bandits of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League are second while Winnipeg Blues of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League round out the top three.

Junior Senators head coach and general manager Rick Dorval is understandably pleased with his team’s performance to date.

“We went into the week hoping to perform well. But three wins over Pembroke, Carleton Place and Nepean shows this team has character,” Dorval told the EMC Monday morning.

“Going into the year, on paper, we thought we would be competitive.

“Now the expectations are higher. We’re going to attempt to raise the bar every week in

an effort to reach team and individual expectations,” the coach states.

“This morning we’re ranked 13th nationally, the highest ranking of any team in the league. So obviously I’m pleased,” Dorval adds.

Top scorers Also last week Smiths Falls Bears, who just snuck into the playoffs last season and were swept by eventual champions Nepean in the first round, also continued to impress. Led by Michael Buonincontri, the CCHL scoring leader, Bears won two of three contests to move level with Carleton Place. Buonincontri had a hat trick in Bears’ win in Pembroke Sunday night. He now has nine goals and nine assists in 10 games. Teammate Chris Maniccia also has 18 points including 12 helpers.

The Carleton Place scoring parade is being led by centre Luke Edwards who is third in the league scoring race with 15 points from 10 contests.

Another early season surprise is the good form shown

by Cumberland Grads recently. They failed to make the playoffs last season and stumbled out of the gate in September recording one win in five games. Thanks partly to the work of goalie Devan Tremblay, Cumberland has now won three in a row including back-to-back weekend triumphs. They sit fourth in the Yzerman Division with 10 points, one ahead of de-

fending champions Nepean.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment to date in the league has been the poor form of Hawkesbury Hawks. Despite an overtime win over Pembroke at home Friday, Hawks continue to trail the Robinson Division and league standings.

They have shown signs of life! Sunday they were stonewalled by Tremblay in Cumberland and lost despite controlling the game territorially.

Last season, after missing the playoffs for three years in a row, Hawkesbury finished fifth overall and then swept Carleton Place, the fourth place side, to reach the CCHL semi- finals.

As mentioned, Ottawa continues to play competitive hockey early in the campaign.

They relegated league leaders Carleton Place to just their third loss in 10 games Saturday, sending 400 Canadians’ fans home disappointed.

It was an evenly played game but Ottawa goalie Charlie Millen, who had a brief stop in Carleton Place two seasons ago, outdueled Canadians’ net minder Justin Laforest stopping 21 of the 22 shots directed his way. Millen’s shutout bid was ruined

by Canadians’ forward Brandon Seatter with just one second left in the game.

Ottawa (5-2) won despite going one for seven on the powerplay. Hunter Racine during a first period man ad-

vantage situation, Eric Witzel, Justin Charbonneau and Steven Inman connected for Sens who led 1-0 and 3-0 at the intervals.

Edwards earned an assist on teammate Seatter’s late goal for Canadians.

Carleton Place’s early season run of success continued in Cornwall Thursday with a comprehensive win over last season’s CCHL runners-up.

New offensive star Alex Globke continued his strong start with two goals giving him a team leading seven in nine games. Right winger Alex Frere also connected twice for the winners who solidified their hold on first place in the Robinson Division.

Canadians held period leads of 4-1 and 6-3 and then put it

away by outscoring Colts 3-1 in the final frame. Edwards set up four goals to lead the attack.

Marly Quince scored once and assisted twice for Cornwall.

Carleton Place netted twice on six powerplay chances and they were much more disciplined taking just six minor penalties on the night. Rookie goalie Matt Couvrette improved his record to 4-2.

This weekend Canadians play a home and home against Pembroke who has struggled of late. The opener goes tomorrow (Friday) night at community centre at 7:45.

Sunday the locals journey to the upper Ottawa Valley for a 7 p.m. start at venerable Pembroke Memorial Centre.

Supporting the Carleton Place Hospital We wish to thank each of you who have generously contributed to our Last Penny Roundup campaign.

Although you have been generous we are still far short of our goal.

Your continued support and that of your friends and neighbors will help a great deal with the needs of the Carleton Place District and Memorial Hospital.

We believe that the children may help the “Last Penny Round Up” be a greater success.

Children, once given a challenge, have this great enthusiasm to jump right in.

Three schools have accepted our request to have the students involved. We are suggesting that over a month the students spend some time collecting pennies in a small plastic water bottle to be given to the Last Penny Roundup campaign.

The boys and girls will be given the assignment of either drawing a picture or writing a short paragraph on “What my hospital means to me”. As part of the hospital’s ongoing support, a wall is temporarily being dedicated as a place to post these stories and works of art.

There are still schools that are not yet involved.

We would very much appreciate hearing from you. You can leave a message for Suzanne at 613-257-2200 ext. 323.

The challenge is here—will the children out-perform the adult community?

R0011659030_1004

EMC Sports - Despite splitting their league games last week Carleton Place Canadians jumped from 19th to 16th in the national Junior A hockey rankings announced Monday by the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL).

Canadians, who blasted Cornwall Colts Thursday night before falling 4-1 at home Saturday to the high flying Ottawa Junior Senators, moved up on the national chart. With a 7-3 mark after 10 games Carleton Place is tied atop the Robinson Division standings with arch rival Smiths Falls Bears. With identical records, both teams had 14 points heading into this week’s action. Bears won two of three games last week including a 6-5 decision in Pembroke Sunday.

Meanwhile, teams who are not usually among the leaders in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) are impressing early in the 2012-2013 campaign.

Chief among the surprises is the Junior Senators. They had to work hard to reach the playoffs last spring and then fell in five games in the quarter finals to CCHL finalist Cornwall Colts.

With 13 newcomers in the line-up Junior Sens weren’t among the favourites in the 12 team Tier 1 Junior A league when the new campaign began in early September.

EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After winning four consecutive Ashton Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fastball Championships, followed by a two-year championship hiatus, the Rockets recently reclaimed the cup with a convincing 6-1 victory over the reigning champion, Napa Shockers.

The Rockets took an early first inning 3-0 lead on back-to-back doubles by AJ Purdy and Rod (Hawk) Bowes, followed by singles

by Fred Olmsted and Matt McKay. From that point, the combined shutdown pitching (Shockers managed only five hits) of Purdy and McKay, and a flawless game defensively, the Rockets fifth championship in seven years was never in doubt.

Bowes provided the TSN Turning Point in the Game with a diving catch on a short flare behind third base in the fifth inning, which sent the lone base runner scurrying back to second base to avoid the double play. Olmsted led off the sixth inning with a towering homerun to right centre to seal the championship victory. Olmsted plated the only run for the Shockers

Membership doubles at Almonte Lawn Bowling Club EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 100 per cent increase of local lawn bowling enthusiasts was reported this year at the Annual General Meeting of the Almonte Lawn Bowling Club. This was brought forward by Irene Arrowsmith, Membership Convenor.

Held Wednesday, Sept. 26 at the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premises in Almonte, the new members, along with longer-standing members gathered to enjoy a pot-luck dinner followed by the business meeting.

Special guest for the evening was Watersideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Relations coordinator Patricia Guimond, who spoke briefly to

congratulate the club on its successes during a year of building and upgrading their facilities.

Cliff Bennett, club president welcomed all members and guests and outlined progress for the year.

Ken Brown and Guy Chaput presented an outstanding property report, including that of overcoming the challenges of a poorly conditioned green, equipment in dire need of repair, antiquated water supply systems and numerous wild animals that made their homes under the building. With the new greens cutter obtained through a Trillium grant and repairs to

the sprinkler system, the teams of volunteer club workers were able to end the year with a very credible bowling green surrounded by new, state-of-the-art gutters around the perimeter.

The Municipality of Mississippi Mills, which owns the facility, contributed a new veranda deck and steps and money to repair the fences, paint the interior and trim surrounding trees.

Club activities for the past year were outlined in a report from Denis Davignon, indicating successful bowling three nights per week, holding a very successful Open House in May, hosting a District 16 tourna-

ment in July and an in-house tournament in August. Training and coaching was continuous as new members arrived and several novice members took in a training day at Galetta Lawn Bowling Club.

A new budget for the coming year was approved, showing no increase in membership fees. A change was made in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by-laws to allow for social membership. It is hoped to expand next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities to include using the clubhouse for

card parties and socials for nonbowlers.

Two new members were added to the Board of Directors bringing the number to 11.

They were Lee Steele as secretary and Don Osborne as Chair of Finance. The total BOD includes Cliff Bennett President; Guy Chaput, Vice-President; Lee Steele, secretary; Debbie McKay, treasurer; Don Osborne, chair of Finance; Denis Davignon, Tournaments, Training and Protocol; Irene Arrow-

smith, Membership Convenor; Ken Brown, Property Manager; Marina Johnson and Jan Peterson, Social Convenors and John Arrowsmith, Member at Large.

In conclusion, President Cliff Bennett welcomed the two new members to the Board of Directors and expressed plans for another significant increase in membership for the coming year.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EMC Sports – The Almonte Soccer Club celebrated its 45th anniversary during Sports Day at Gemmill Park Sept. 29. The day featured a variety of activities.

Clockwise from left: Canadian Women’s Olympic Soccer team player – MarieEve Nault (Bronze Medal Winner) – addressed the crowd; everyone gathered to pose for a picture; and players tested and practiced their accuracy at a shooting booth.

keys foraging by the roadside.

Deer, turkeys, and traffic keep your eyes alert for problems.

On September 24, John Willis and family had enjoyed watching 15 Turkey Vultures soaring over their home in high winds.

Most were just above the treetops, giving good views.

They live on the north arm of Clayton Lake. Another Clayton Lake sighting came from Ron Reid. They still have some Ruby-throated Hummingbirds around the property, again, likely juveniles of the year.

A bird report asking for identification, with a picture, came from Judy Wilson, Clayton Road.

The bird is a male Darkeyed Junco, stunned after hitting the window.

It survived and came back to feed.

â&#x153;

EMC Lifestyle - A telephone call from Larry Laroque, of Carleton Place, offers 10 bird feeders for anyone who would like one. He has tube-type feeders bought last year that are in good shape.

He has moved to a smaller place, and does not have room for them. If interested, please call and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you his telephone number.

In Lanark-Highlands, Lynne Bamford found an injured Green Heron floating on the water by the bridge on Galbraith Road. She was able to rescue the bird, which was still alive, and brought it home.

Lynne asked where to take it, and the Wild Bird Care Centre is the place. Calling there, she received instructions how to care for the Heron overnight, then bring it in.

Two weeks ago Lynne had a Red-headed Woodpecker land on the railing of their home by Clayton Lake. A lovely surprise to see.

Last Sunday, in Appleton, Georgina Doe observed a female Common Merganser swimming in the river. This species is more often seen in spring as they migrate through our area to their breeding grounds.

The next day, on our property, Mississippi Mills, the Monday walkers covered the trails through our woods.

They were rewarded with 4 species: Winter Wren, Pileated Woodpecker, Ruffed Grouse, and Red-breasted Nuthatch.

Again that week, driving along Clayton Road, suddenly there were about 20 Wild Tur-

YOUR GUIDE TO LOCAL RESTAURANTS

From Chef Dustyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Table Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tackling a Thanksgiving turkey dinner for the first or fiftieth time here are some helpful tips that will make the best bird.

-Thawing a frozen turkey requires patience.

The safest method is to thaw turkey in the refrigerator. Be sure to plan ahead it can take 3 days for a 20 pound turkey to fully defrost.

-For crisper skin, unwrap the turkey the day before roasting and leave it uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.

-Cooking times will differ depending on whether your bird was purchased fresh or frozen. Plan on 20 minutes per pound in a 350 degree F oven.

-A turkey will cook more evenly if it is not densely stuffed. Consider adding flavor by loosely filling the cavity with aromatic vegetables â&#x20AC;&#x201D; carrots, celery, onion or garlic work nicely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or by carefully tucking fresh herbs underneath the breast skin. For the stuffing lovers, cook the dressing in a

casserole dish on the side.

-Before roasting, coat the outside of the turkey with vegetable or olive oil or you can use bacon to wrap the breast, this will cut down basting as the bacon drip down into the bird.

-Once you get the turkey in the oven, resist the temptation to open the oven door and admire your handiwork. When the oven temperature fluctuates, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only increasing the likelihood of a dry bird. About 45 minutes before you think the turkey is done, remove the foil from the breast to allow it to brown.

-Remove the turkey from the oven when the deepest spot between the leg and the breast reads 180 degrees F and internal temperature of the stuffing should be at least 165 degrees.

-Tent the bird with foil and let rest for about 15 minutes before carving. If you need you can let the turkey set for up to an hour

For the pie lovers -Prebake the pie crust before you add the filling. This helps keep the crust crisp and flaky even underneath. And brush the crust with slightly beaten egg white before you prebake it.

-Make your filling a day ahead of using it.

This allows all of the ingredients to blend together and improves the flavor.

-Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat the filling too much. This type of pie is dense and creamy. If you add a lot of air by beating, the pumpkin filling may rise and fall, then crack.

-Keep the pie refrigerated after it cools.
