United Way kicks off fall campaign

are taking it back to them and telling them what is supported in their community.”

During the breakfast the campaign got started on the right foot with a $3,500 donation from all of the Royal Bank of Canada branches in Lanark County. “ W e h a v e been involved with the United Way for several y e a r s and we can get in touch with all of our employees,” said Carrie Ann Piper, account manager at the Royal Bank branch in Almonte. “It’s a great cause and I am excited to be the face of the Almonte Royal Bank campaign when we kick off in November.”

The United Way supports a number of local programs including the Mills Community Support Corporation Home Support Program, Carleton Place and District Youth Centre, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County and many more.

“We support one in 10 people in Lanark County,” noted Bridson. “With the money raised we are able to provide support right across the board from seniors to families to people with challenges.”

One of the new fundraising programs they are encouraging is called ‘Everyday Heroes Are Among Us,’ the idea is that with only $1 per day you can be an everyday hero.

“A dollar a day and you can become an everyday hero,” said Bridson. “It’s the idea of being a hero, someone sweeping in and helping. Every dollar helps, you would be surprised at what our organization can do with that money.”

EMC Events – Mill workers were the backbone of Almonte for more than 100 years and this weekend they are set to be celebrated.

The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum is hosting a reunion on Oct. 13 from 2-4 p.m. at its location.

Executive director/curator of the museum Michael Rikley-Lancaster admits this is the first time the museum has ever held a reunion of this type, although it has wanted to host one for a number of years.

Rikley-Lancaster notes that the volunteers have done a fabulous job contacting past wool and mill workers and they have invited close to 150 people.

“We would also like to extend an open invitation to anyone who worked in the mills, had family working at the mills or had a connection with the mills,” said RikleyLancaster.

The Rosamond Woolen

Company functioned as a mill from 1860 to the 1980s. At its peak it employed 300 people.

As well there were many other workers at seven other mills in town.

“There are still so many people around,” said RikleyLancaster. “It will be really exciting to have them around and to celebrate them. They can share their stories and we can pay homage to them.”

He believes what they did for Canada was extremely important.

“They don’t realize how important they are and the impact they had.”

The Rosamond Woollen Company won numerous awards and, it has been said, their suits were worn by prime ministers.

“It makes me curious to know if they knew what they were doing,” he said with an astounded look on his face.

Valley roots The reunion is sure to show valley roots with Celtic and Valley tunes performed by Al-

monte’s Barley Shakers. It is set to be an informal event for people to socialize and enjoy the museum. As well there will be a table with photos displayed from the museum.

“We don’t know the names of some of the people in the picture so it will be an identification table,” said RikleyLancaster. “We’ve done it at other events and people loved it. It’s an enjoyable memory exercise and it’s a great benefit to us.”

The Friends of the Museum are also supplying homemade goodies and tea for the reunion.

The list of confirmed guests range from locals to people who will be travelling from Montreal and Northern Ontario.

“I’m excited to see everyone and hopefully the mill workers will also be excited,” said Rikley-Lancaster. “It’s exciting to pull them all together and celebrate them.”

EMC News – Lanark County United Way is celebrating 25 years with an impressive fundraising goal.

This year the organization is aiming to raise $330,000, w h i c h will stay right in Lanark County benefiting local charities.

Sarah Bridson, executive director of the United Way has been with the county for three years and is always impressed by the response from the community.

“The county continues to blow me away,” said Bridson. “People support us in a number of ways; through a monetary donation, attending events and advocacy, there is always someone willing to help out.”

To kick-off the fall campaign the United Way recently held breakfasts in Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills.

The Almonte breakfast was hosted by Mill Street Crepe Company, 14 Mill St. “We are really pleased that Mill Street Crepe Company, along with the shops of Heritage Court - Smitten, Phil Wood Framing, Willow, Peace of Mind Creations, Gilligallou Bird Inc., Vamos, The White Lilly, and Colby McGeachy - are sponsoring our Mississippi Mills/Almonte breakfast this year,” said Bridson. The Almonte launch saw 35 people attend.

Bridson believes it is important to have a number of different launches in the individual communities.

“We are trying to bring it back to the communities, sometimes people feel disconnected in such a large geographical county,” she said. “It helps because we

Retro 80s dance party to benefit Interval House – get your tickets now

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Events - Get your tickets now for the Retro 80s Dance Party in support of Lanark County Interval House.

Pre-ticket sales are being encouraged for the event which will take a blast into the past to help change the future. The future of Lanark County Interval House that is – as they face a deficit of $59,000.

The retro dance is set for Oct. 20, 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Carleton Place Arena. And costumes are encouraged, so dust off those sparkle gloves, be proud to don your neon and reinvigorate that side ponytail.

Costume contests will be held and prizes will be given out.

There will also be door prizes, and raffles throughout the night, which will feature music by DJ Jack Denovan and a late lunch at 11 p.m.

“We strongly believe in what they (Lanark County Interval House) do,” said Lisa Occomore from Valley Granite and Tile. The local business is sponsoring and organizing this fundraiser in partnership with LCIH. “They provide an opportunity to find freedom,” she explained LCIH also supports and empowers the women who have to use their services, through the journey they have to undertake.

“It’s an amazing group they have there,” she commented of LCIH, saying her family has a history with the organization, and has had to utilize the services of LCIH in the past.

As mentioned, it is important to get your tickets ahead of time for this night of fun. To get your tickets ($20 each) ahead of the event, please visit Valley Granite and Tile (127 Bridge St., Carleton Place), 613-4922522 or email brianne@lcih. com. This is a mixed party, however those attending must be 19 years of age and older to attend.

Local businesses and individuals have been generous thus far with donations to aid in putting the event on, as well as with prizes for the various events that night. Those wishing to make a donation may

EMC Events – Carleton Place for the last five years has hosted Lanark County Interval House’s Take Back the Night march. Recently local residents (women, children and men) and politicians turned out with their banners and noisemakers to demand that a woman’s right to walk the streets safely be upheld. The march followed a rally in the park behind the Carleton Place Town Hall. still do so by calling the number provided above. All donations for the event are “100 per cent appreciated.”

In order to support LCIH there are a number of fundraising events planned for the weeks to come.

Tarot sessions and Henna Decoration will be taking place at Angels Roost for LCIH, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tarot experts Ann Gratton and Lise Guignard will provide Tarot readings and henna decorations or both for those who choose.

Just one week later, Saturday, Nov. 3, the 24th annual Women’s Fair takes place at the Carleton Place Arena. Admission is free. There will be plenty of vendors for those who attend to both treat themselves and get a start on their Christmas shopping. From jewelry to clothing, fitness to beauty, financial consultants to preserves and baked treats, there will be lots to peruse. Prizes, a raffle, silent auction, gift bags and more are all on the agenda.

Also on Nov. 3 is a Fashion Show Wine and Cheese, but reservations are required by Oct. 12. The Dazzling Diamond Divas of the Crown Jewels of Canada Society and the Shopping Sherpas of the Red Hat

Society are putting this event on, which takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Carleton Place Legion, 177 George Street. There is limited seating. For information on rsvping please email to dazzlingdiamonddivasofcp@ gmail.com or shopping.sherpas@gmail.com or phone Sandra Dormer at 613-253-1774.

All proceeds will be going to LCIH. Those who have attended the Violet Femmes Girls Night Out Gala in the past will not want to miss the fifth anniversary edition Friday, Nov. 16. Those who have not attended before, will not want to miss this fun night either. Taking place at the Almonte Arena, the evening will be hosted by Sandra from KISS FM, there will be food, cocktails, music, dancing, a silent auction and raffle table, plus much, much more. Commencing at 5:30 p.m. the night is in support of LCIH. For tickets, visit the LCIH website (listed below) or visit Static, located in the Old Church Shoppes, 17a Albert St., Carleton Place, or Doree’s Habit, 65 Mill St., Almonte.

A little bit of “Herstory” LCIH officially opened in May of 1979, but the facility

was already occupied in April by women in need of services, according to information provided by LCIH. In 1983, a fundraising campaign resulted in the purchase of the organization’s current location.

Serving the entire Lanark

County and Smiths Falls, Interval House currently sees between 200 and 300 families every year. The 24/7 Crisis Line receives approximately 2,000 calls each year as well.

Waiting lists are now forming for group support programs as well as for individual counseling.

Some of the costs the agency faces include a yearly grocery bill of $25,000, annual utility costs of $21,000, $30,000 is spent around repairs, maintenance and insurance and of course these are just a few of the many expenditures each year. A grant did come from the Ministry of Community and Social Services to build the new addition on the facility several years ago, however corresponding dollars to operate the building weren’t forthcoming. Travel costs are also astronomical as the agency does serve the entire county, and sometimes the reality is that women live in isolated locations and situations.

When cost of living such as gas prices, and groceries getting more expensive become realities, these circumstances also impact an agency such as Interval House.

In order to spread the mes-

sage across their coverage area, the agency moves fundraising events from community to community and features yearly activities such as the Violet Femmes night in Almonte, various campaigns including the Daisy of Hope campaign, Mom to Mom sales and more.

The agency’s The As Good As New Store, is also a source of funds and mail outs are still undertaken.

There are many ways a person could donate or give to the cause without opening their pocket book. Including volunteering time, buying two sets of towels at the store instead of one and donating the extras, going to a fundraising event, volunteer to help at a fundraising event, go on the agency website and look at the wish list for the organization, even if the public is doing something so mundane as cleaning the house and have extra post it notes, or blank school paper – these are all things that can be used and make a difference.

Lanark County Interval House can be reached by calling 613-257-5960, 1-800-2677946 or visiting www.lcih.org.

Those looking to volunteer may call 613-257-3469 ext. 27.

Portion of ticket sales for Studio Theatre Production to go to charity

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

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 today, 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 are they 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.

The eight character play features some well known actors and actresses including Danielle MacDonald as Susy, Paul Roach as Roat, with veterans Hugh McCulloch, Lucas Tennant, Alfred Von Mirbach and a new young actor, Meaghan

Brackenbury - an all-star cast. 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. Becoming aware of what is happening, Susy refuses to give up the doll’s location and a dangerous game of cat and mouse is unleashed. Seeing 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.

Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at The Book Nook in Perth, $22 at Tickets Please (ticketsplease.ca; 613-4856434), and $22 cash at the box office on show nights.

Students with ID pay just $10 at the door. The Studio Theatre is located at 63 Gore Street East in Perth.

Exceptional artists support families in need EMC Lifestyle – Without Exception: Exceptional Art from Beautiful Minds, sponsored by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), hosted an artist exhibit and sale on Friday, Sept. 28, at the R. Tait McKenzie Memorial Gallery, in Almonte displaying exquisite works by 36 young student artists.

Without Exception is an ongoing arts initiative for special needs students in the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. Inspired by three special needs artists at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, art teacher, Sarah Jaynes, founded Without Exception in 2008.

In its fifth year, the program celebrates the talents of student artists from across Eastern Ontario.

Yearly themes are used to

guide the artists, with this year’s theme being birds.

Jaynes says that the name was chosen to highlight the fact that individuals with special needs are not “exceptions,” but are “exceptional.”

All proceeds from art sales are donated to the Good Samaritan Trust Fund, a charity which helps CDSBEO students, and their families, when issues arise which are not currently addressed by existing charity organizations. The proceeds from the event totalled $1,370, with three additional exhibits to be held before Christmas.

High quality, acid-free prints, on paper and canvas, are available for purchase and custom order. More information on this initiative can be found by visiting www.withoutexception.ca, or www.facebook.com/exceptionalart.

Canadian Aid for Chernobyl Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign extended to Oct. 31

EMC News - The Shoeboxes for Seniors Campaign for the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville and Kingston areas has been extended to Oct. 31, 2012 in order to allow groups and organizations who have been closed for the summer to take part in this worthwhile project.

Currently there are 300 boxes packed and ready to go with an additional 200 expected to arrive within the next month. Your help is needed to reach our goal of 1,200.

Participants may fill a shoebox or drop off essential hygiene items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand and body cream, deodorant, combs, brushes, hand soap, shampoo, razors, etc.) at any of the locations listed.

Individuals are encouraged to fill just one box and together the goal can be reached. Donations of filled boxes, miscellaneous items and cash donations are also accepted throughout the year. Shoeboxes will be shipped to Chernobyl for distribution in early spring 2013.

Campaign coordinator Colleen Gray has been busy collecting boxes and donations over the summer months.

“The seniors who receive our shoeboxes are those who are most in need,” said Gray. “These are people who have little or no family support. They live very lonely and isolated lives in a state of poverty.”

These shoeboxes are hand delivered to seniors

on occasions such as Seniors’ day, Invalids Day, Veterans’ Day and special anniversaries. They not only provide basic care but bring hope and joy!

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Shoeboxes for Seniors program, residents, businesses and organizations are being asked to become involved and help make this year’s campaign a success.

COMMENTARY Support food banks in our own backyard

Submitted photo

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy and cliffLAND has instituted the 80 Plus Club. This is for individuals 80 years of age or older who have hiked to Blueberry Mountain (one of the Seven Wonders of

Lanark County). The annual fall walk took place on Sept. 30. Eight cheerful individuals over the age of 80 made the trek to the top of Blueberry Mountain that day.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Agency aims to help students with financial decision-making DEAR EDITOR: As a former high school teacher, the beginning of September always meant back-to-school. For students, it’s a time for many new things.

I realize now that back-to-school is the perfect time to have a frank conversation with children about the importance of managing their personal finances, especially if they are moving out on their own for the first time.

The agency I lead, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), was established in 2001 to help Canadian consumers gain a better understanding of financial products and services such as

credit cards, bank accounts, mortgages and investments. Since that time, FCAC has become a pioneer in creating clear, simple publications and easy-to-use web tools that give consumers objective, reliable help when they make financial decisions.

The Government of Canada has given FCAC the mandate to foster financial literacy. The agency continues to develop innovative resources for students and all Canadians to help them strengthen their knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions. They are available at itpaystoknow.gc.ca.

Ursula Menke FCAC Commissioner

EMC Editorial - While another Thanksgiving has come and gone, and another push for donations to the food bank was made - donations are needed year round. Locally, the Lanark County Food Bank helps close to 550 people on a monthly basis (distributing between 11,000 and 13,000 pounds of food per month) – increasing by 12 new applicants each month. This is just one of the food banks to serve this area – there are also facilities in Smiths Falls, Perth and the North Grenville area.

While several fundraising initiatives are up and coming leading to Christmas, food banks rely day to day on the kindness of community donations to feed those coming to their door.

In media statements late last month, it was reported World Vision staff were in Ottawa Sept. 26, urging passersby from various locations in the downtown core, to “brown bag” their lunch and donate the money they would have used to purchase food to their cause. More than 18.7 million people, four million of those children, in seven West African countries, “are at risk of severe malnutrition” the World Vision Canada website reports. The donations collected that day were to be directed towards families in West Africa.

There is no question there is a need in Africa. But while this is a very worthy cause – that help is needed and donated dollars are important – we would argue that perhaps dollars should be directed towards food banks working hard here in our own backyard. These operations benefit the people who are in dire need here in Lanark County, Leeds & Grenville and the Ottawa Valley. People struggling to make ends meet – not knowing from where their next meal may come, not knowing how they will pay the bills or keep a roof over their heads, not knowing if they can feed their children this time next week.

Perhaps, donated funds should be focussed locally towards the people we walk alongside every day who may have bare kitchen cupboards and empty fridges.

Miss Crosby prepares students for the world EMC Lifestyle - Miss Crosby was fair to a fault, and yet she stood for no nonsense. Most of the boys in Senior Fourth at the Northcote School were a couple heads taller than she was, but she had no trouble handing out discipline to any of them when the need arose. We all had a healthy fear of Miss Crosby, and that included Cecil and my brother Emerson, both of whom seemed to attract trouble like ants to a plate of honey.

The strap that hung on the side of her desk from a cup hook was a constant reminder that if anyone stepped out of line, she would use it in a split second! And when she did, the whack was enough to raise her off her feet. So needless to say, just looking at the black leather demon was enough to keep us on our best behaviour.

Back then the teacher was right up there in importance with the family doctor or the member of parliament. And each was treated with the utmost respect.

Miss Crosby was lucky to

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

live in the community, not like some rural teachers who had to “room and board” at one of the local farms. She could walk to school.

And she had the patience of a saint. Bad Marguirite was enough to try anyone’s patience, but Miss Crosby knew exactly how to handle the girl who was the bane of my existence. Marguirite never did anything bad enough to warrant the strap, but she aggravated the daylights out of me, mostly because she was the only one in her family, and had the best of everything. A real leather school bag, for instance. And a tin box for her lunch! Such luxury.

About once a year just about every family in the community would have the teacher over night on a weekend. That meant of course,

that she would attend church with the family on the Sunday, and it didn’t matter what church they attended, the teacher was expected to go with them. And so Miss Crosby could be an United one week, and a Lutheran the next.

And what a thrill it was to have the teacher for over night!

The house would have a cleaning from top to bottom, just like it got in the Spring or Fall! Floors were scrubbed up and downstairs, and of course, a spotlessly clean kitchen and bedclothes fresh off the line were necessary, and enough food to feed a thrashing gang would be prepared.

Of course, when it was our turn to host the teacher, she couldn’t be expected to walk the 3 ½ miles my brothers and sister and I had to trudge to and from school. No Father would take the buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter to fetch her to our old log house.

And that weekend, I felt so smug. I knew for a fact that Marguirite had asked

Miss Crosby at least three or four times during the school year to go to her home for the weekend. But Miss Crosby wouldn’t dream of that.

No, everything was fair and square with Miss Crosby.

And Marguirite was constantly bringing a treat for the teacher. This time of year it would be an apple. Often Miss Crosby would have an apple every day from the hateful little girl with the drug-store-bought curls. And I would watch to see what the teacher would do with it. I never saw her eat the apple, but it would be taken home with her, and I liked to think she maybe threw it away when she got far enough away from the school!

But more than likely it was put into a pie or apple crisp.

I have no idea what Miss Crosby did with the boxes of hankies, the cheap tin cans of talcum powder, and the countless bars of soap she got at Christmas time. But I do remember getting a little note of thanks every year. She would make sure the notes were all written at the same

time, and they would be on our desks waiting for us. The notes were never mailed. After all, it cost three cents for a postage stamp back then!

She never seemed to have a big wardrobe. In the winter, it was a simple black wool dress, and in the summer a printed silk. She had a variety of crocheted collars that she attached to both to bring a variety to what she wore. And she wore black laced shoes with thick rubber on the heels. My brother Emerson said the heels were like that so that she could creep up on you without being heard.

Miss Crosby loved the King and Queen. And she loved the bible. Every morning, of course, she read a scripture lesson, and we all recited the Lord’s Prayer in unison. We were supposed to sit ramrod straight in our seats, with our heads bowed, and our hands forming steeples for the prayer. And heaven help us if we were caught with our eyes open.

And then we had to stand at attention by our seats, and Miss Crosby blew on a little

tin piece that gave us all the musical note to start on, and with our right hand over our hearts, we belted out “God Save the King”. Even those who couldn’t carry a note in a slop-pail were expected to sing! Or course Marguirite could be heard in Admaston!

Miss Crosby was high on manners.

It didn’t matter who came to the door at the Northcote School, we were expected to get out of our seats, noiselessly of course, and stand at attention until told to sit down. If it was the inspector, Miss Crosby would introduce him, and we had to say, and again in unison, “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon” and repeat the inspector’s name.

When Mother said Miss Crosby was a saint, I believed her. Her salary was only a few hundred dollars a year, and Mother said she earned every cent of it. And when you left the Northcote School, having graduated from the Entrance Class, you were ready for whatever road lay ahead. Miss Crosby saw to that.

Want to get the best price for your home? Turn to a real estate agent!

At first glance, selling a home doesn’t seem to be all that complicated: you appraise the value of your home, stick a “for sale” sign on your front lawn and wait for a serious buyer to call.

Unfortunately, selling a home is never that easy. It can be a long and complicated process that involves signing a legally binding contract.

Relying on the help of an experienced real estate agent can make all the difference between a straightforward process and a total nightmare. The first thing a real estate agent will do is accurately evaluate the value of your home based on a variety of factors, such as its location, the municipal services offered, the proximity of schools and businesses and the quality of the materials used in the home’s construction. He or she will also take into consideration the appearance of your home compared to others in the neighbourhood, the overall state of your home, the number of rooms and the value of similar homes

Ottawa Gala shining light on local charity

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – It’s time to celebrate some amazing people and one amazing local charity.

On Oct. 27 the ‘CTV Presents the Amazing People Gala In Support of SchoolBOX’ at the Ottawa Convention Centre is aiming to raise enough money to build a school in Nicaragua and help ‘Make Education Possible.’ Eric Collard, chair of the organizing committee, explained the idea for the event started last summer as he and CTV’s Kimothy Walker were chatting and the idea just came about, he says the stars aligned.

Walker has been telling stories about the power of the human spirit since the spring of 2011 every Thursday on CTV News at 6 p.m. “Why don’t we do a gala to highlight all of these amazing people and we can raise enough money to build a school in one night,� said Collard, and the idea was born.

At the AP Gala the CTV Amazing Person of the Year (for 2011 and 2012) and the CTV’s Viewers’ Choice Award (you can vote online www.ctvottawa.ca) will be announced. Everyone who has been profiled and up to 800 guests will have the red

SchoolBOX’s Director of Operations from Nicaragua, Ronald Chavarria Arauz and SchoolBOX founder, Tom Affleck were all smiles during the annual Latin Fiesta at the Almonte Ag Hall on Sept. 28. The event raised $8,100 for the charity with 150 people dancing the night away with music by Latin Fusion. carpet rolled out for a night of celebration and dancing.

Collard praises Walker and CTV’s involvement in the event saying they have gone above and beyond in every way. “Kimothy and I we want the AP Gala to be fun,� said Collard enthusiastically. “We are highlighting local heroes.

There will not be a dry eye in the room, it’s so inspirational.

We want people to leave there inspired and full of hope for the next generation.�

Collard has been volunteering with SchoolBox for a few years and has been more than impressed by the Almonte charity. “They are a grassroots organization but they are very efficient and everyone is very genuine. They are providing education for people who would not otherwise receive it,� said Collard. “Almonte has such a great spirit and we want to replicate that at the AP Gala.�

Tom Affleck, president

and founder of SchoolBOX is extremely grateful for the amazing opportunity that has come through the hard work and dedication of both Walker and Collard. “We are so honoured to be a part of this amazing event,� said Affleck. “We look forward to using the success of the event to build a wonderful school for children who need it.�

Affleck believes it is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the efforts of some

truly amazing people in the community. “These are people who have reached out beyond themselves to touch the lives of others,� said Affleck. “These are outstanding stories of people who have reached so far beyond their abilities to empower others.�

Collard admits that everyone he meets in Almonte always wants to help out and knows what SchoolBOX is about. However, when you get to Ottawa a lot of people do not know SchoolBOX. “We are trying to extend SchoolBOX to Ottawa,� said Collard. “We are well on our way to being successful. This is for a good cause, for the kids.�

Affleck admits that this is fundraising on a level they have never experienced before and are excited as to what the AP Gala will bring. “We’ve never done a gala like this before,� added Affleck. “Of course we were nervous with the upfront costs and investments required. We are just ecstatic with the success of the event so far.�

Ticket sales are going well with 60 per cent of the tickets already sold with just under a month until the big event. The goal of the event is to raise $50,000 which will have a tremendous impact in Nicaragua.

Tickets cost $200 for the VIP individual ticket (includes VIP reception 6-7 p.m., gala, dinner 7-9 p.m., dancing, entertainment and a $100 tax receipt from SchoolBOX) and $150 for the individual ticket (includes gala, dinner, dancing, entertainment and a $75 tax receipt from SchoolBOX).

Collard admits that it is not a cheap outing for everyone. “We are trying to make it a magical night so people will remember it for awhile,� said Collard. “If we hit the goal we will be able to build a school.�

Although he admits, it has taken more than one night as he has a dedicated team of volunteers helping out and there is still a ways to go just yet.

Affleck is excited for what the night will bring. “Eric and Kimothy are champions who are making this happen, I can’t begin to express how grateful we are to the event organizers and CTV for this awesome opportunity,� said Affleck. “The profile and awareness it’s bringing to SchoolBOX and our mission to Make Education Possible is outstanding.�

Love Your Lake – provincial shoreline stewardship program launch EMC News – Love Your Lake, a new shoreline stewardship program starting in Ontario is being launched this fall through an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds for $147,500.

“I’m pleased that the Ontario Trillium Foundation has provided financial support to assist the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds in launching the Love Your Lake shoreline stewardship program,” said LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

“For 10 years, the Centre has worked with property owners on many projects to benefit our region’s watersheds. The co-operation and goodwill they have fostered has produced benefits for all citizens and I’m pleased to see it continue with this latest initiative.”

Love Your Lake will provide local organizations across Ontario with resources and training to deliver an engaging and effective program to help landowners protect and restore their shorelines, ultimately improving the health of their lakes. Resources will include communications and training materials, program manuals, and funding required to deliver the program.

This program was developed in partnership with the Canadian Wildlife Federation with regional collabo-

ration and support from partners across the province including the Lakeland Alliance, Peterborough Green Up, Muskoka Watershed Council, and the City of Greater Sudbury.

The program development integrates best practices and peer-reviewed methods and protocols that provide a province-wide standardized approach for shoreline evaluation and stewardship.

Previously, within each region, shoreline stewardship activities were carried out under the same goal of shoreline health, but with different methods. This standardized approach will help collect shoreline data that is consistent, measurable, and comparable both geographically and over time.

“We are really excited about taking this model across the province in partnership with existing organizations that are the experts in their regions in working with shoreline property owners. We hope that other groups in Ontario adopt this program based on our success as well,” says Barbara King, Executive Director of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds.

“As we see greater development along our waterfronts, it becomes increasingly important for property owners to take steps to be good shoreline

stewards,” says Rick Bates, Executive Director of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. “We want to ensure that we keep our lakes healthy for future generations to enjoy.”

About Centre for Sustainable Watersheds Since incorporation in 2002, Centre for Sustainable Watersheds has focused on protecting water quality in Canada’s lakes and rivers. It has been engaged with a diverse range of partners over the years.

CSW has developed programs designed to cultivate

water leaders through a variety of training and educational initiatives and to support their work by providing the necessary tools, technologies and resources.

Its goal is to help build water-conscious communities dedicated to safeguarding our treasured waterways.

Our vision is to see training programs, educational materials, web-based information sharing, sustainable wastewater technologies and hands-on initiatives such as habitat and shoreline protection delivered in a sustainable manner to

protect Canada’s lakes and rivers.

About Canadian Wildlife Federation The Canadian Wildlife Federation is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to fostering awareness and appreciation of our natural world. By spreading knowledge of human impacts on the environment, sponsoring research, developing and delivering education programs, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources, recommending changes to policy and co-

operating with like-minded partners, CWF encourages a future in which Canadians can live in harmony with nature. For more information visit CanadianWildlifeFederation.ca.

Official opening of High Lonesome Nature Reserve Oct. 21 EMC Events - On Friday, Sept. 28 more than 180 people turned out to help the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) protect High Lonesome Nature Reserve and maintain and develop its trails for public benefit.

With Michael Runtz as the keynote speaker, it was a hugely enjoyable and educational evening - and also a financial success for MMLTC. The proceeds from the dinner and silent auction, supplemented by three generous private donations, allowed MMLTC to reach its goal of contributing $20,000 to its Stewardship Monitoring Endowment Fund held by the Community Foundation of Ottawa. This amount will be matched under the Ontario Land Trust Alliance/Canadian Community Foundation program Caring for the Land You Love. Reason indeed to celebrate!

On Sunday, Oct. 21, the public will have an opportunity to attend the High Lonesome dedication ceremony and celebration of the long term conservation of this new Nature Reserve.

The MMLTC is grateful to the family of the late Barry Spicer who entrusted High Lonesome, Spicer’s beloved 200 acres wilderness property located in the Pakenham Hills to the MMLTC for conservation in perpetuity. This property is rich in natural values.

Three main and several lesser wetlands on the property form part of a provincially significant wetland complex. As a result of a bioblitz organized by the Land Trust in June, a species inventory was begun and over 675 species were recorded. Thanks to funding from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Species at Risk Stewardship Fund, additional inventory work is currently underway with a focus on targeted species at risk.

Special appreciation goes to Ken Spicer, Barry’s brother, for helping to shepherd the donation of High Lonesome through to completion and for Ken’s continuing dedication to the preservation and documentation of the natural values of this exceptional property. Thanks to his energetic efforts over the years, High Lonesome Nature Reserve has a network of trails that wander

up, down and through the forests, by beaver ponds, creeks and wetlands, trails that have been enjoyed by individuals and naturalists clubs alike.

To take full advantage of the nature reserve’s rich biodiversity, these trails will form the foundation for outdoor education, nature interpretation and recreation. Thanks to a grant from Mountain Equipment Co-op, the MMLTC plans to erect interpretive signs along the trails, describing the unique ecological features and wildlife habitat found there.

The dedication ceremony and celebration of High Lonesome has been planned for Sunday, Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. Following the ceremony, refreshments will be served and visitors will have an opportunity for a brief tour of the trails. To find the property from County Road 29 in Pakenham Village, drive west on Waba Road for 2.9 km. Turn left on Barr Side Road for 1.6 km, take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Road. A map with directions can be found on the MMLTC website at www.mmltc.ca.

Holley Edgerton (Donna Juanita) must show, in a very few scenes, the controlled evil of a villain that is trying to sabotage young love. And Candice Burn (Dogberry) has to connect with the audience, and be believable right away as the buffoon who catches the evildoers while all her intelligent betters could not.”

EMC Entertainment Comedy and romance come to the Carleton Place Town Hall this month, as the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre presents Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in the round, up close and personal with the audience, on the floor of the theatre.

This is the young players’ second foray into classical Shakespearean presentation - last year’s performance of Macbeth brought the murder, mayhem, and witchcraft to within touching distance of the front rows.

Now the young players will be giving the audience an intimate connection to the lovers’ quarrels, the malapropisms and the wordplay that is the hallmark of Shakespeare’s best-loved romantic comedy.

Director Mark Piper notes, however, that presenting a comedy – especially one in Shakespearian language – poses a different set of challenges than does a tragedy.

“In Macbeth, as in most tragedies, the majority of the action takes place with only a few people on stage – in fact, Shakespearian tragedy is famous for its monologues. In a comedy like Much Ado About Nothing, however, a lot of scenes take place with nearly the whole cast on stage – there’s a lot of ensemble work, which can often be a greater challenge for young actors.”

In this production, audience members will have to watch closely to pick up the secondary story that Jessica Kinnari (who plays Ursula) and Hayley Fortier (Antonia) are playing as subtext as they interact with the other actors in the ensemble scenes. Newcomer Amber Berndt (Friar Frances) also supports the group dialogue, while also remaining the audience’s surrogate, observing and commenting on the action for our benefit and straightening out all the chaos in the play, just in time for a happy ending.

Another challenge is that despite the fact that there are characters with fewer lines, there are no small parts. Explains Piper: “Leah West and Zach Williams, who play Mar-

Beetles—the group everyone knows EMC Lifestyle - The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) 20122013 public lecture series, Nature Beneath Our Feet, continues with the second presentation Oct. 18, “Ground Beetles—My Favourite Group.” You do not need to be an expert to enjoy the presentations— just possess a curiosity or appreciation for wild nature. Cottagers, hunters, fishermen, canoeists, hikers, campers, artists and seasoned field naturalists alike will find something to interest them as we explore what lives in Lanark County and how best to protect it for future generations.

Refreshments are offered at each lecture.

This month’s lecture will be presented by Dr. Henri Goulet, research scientist emeritus with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Henri will give us a tour

of the diversity and beauty of his favouite group of insects, which will be generously illustrated with species found in Lanark County.

Not surprisingly, the formative years of many great biologists, such as Charles Darwin, included the study of beetles. Beetles are easy to recognise and are attractive subjects for study. The 350 million species worldwide are found from pole to pole. There are more named species of beetles than there are named species of any other group.

Ground (carabid) beetles, in particular, contribute 1,700 species to the insect fauna of North America. Typically they hide by day under logs, or among rocks by the edge of ponds and rivers. The shiny black or metallic backs of these predators dart across the soil surface while we

When the chemicals are mixed with enzymes, heat and oxygen are produced and the material is explosively propelled from the anus with a notable pop.

Community celebrates opening of extended Baird Trail

By EMC STAFF

ly cut the grass and emptied the garbage container at the trailhead for a number of years.

Terry and Joanne Munro were on site for the opening of the trail.

“It’s really quite beautiful here,” Joanne said. “I tell all my friends about it. One thing I really enjoy here is taking a walk through the pines… the ground underfoot is so soft.

It’s a great place.”

Terry says the new trail opening is a great addition to the already popular hiking trail.

“This has been called one of the most beautiful trails in the area,” said Les Humphreys, LCMTC president. “It showcases important ecological values, giant maple and beech trees and evidence of pioneer farming, as well as red pine plantations. Each of the three loops of the Baird Trail offers a different perspective of the natural and cultural features of the property.”

The Baird Trail is one of 38 community forest lands managed by Lanark County, which provide social, recreational, economic, scientific, cultural and spiritual benefits to those who enjoy it.

county and a red pine plantation was planted as part of a conservation program.

LCMTC’s mandate is to design, develop, manage and promote motorized and non-motorized trails on county-owned property.

Donations and in-kind support help the organization to make improvements on the Baird Trail and other trails in community forests.

There are various ways to assist. Donors can purchase a bench on the Baird Trail (or Tay River Pathway in Perth) for $1,500 and provide wording for an associated commemorative plaque.

Donations of any amount can be made for general trail development across the county. The county’s public works department administers the donations on behalf of the trails corporation and tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more.

To get to the Baird Trail, from Lanark take Hwy. 511 north for 4 km to Herron Mills Road (County Road 8).

Turn right and travel east for 2 km to the intersection at Rodger Road. The Baird property entrance is on the left, 250 metres east of the Rodger Road intersection.

From Middleville, take County Road 8 south for 5 km. The entrance is 500 metres west of the Mitchell Road intersection.

Pioneer family settles property The property was first settled by a pioneer family in 1837 and supported basic food crops and livestock, with the forest providing lumber, fuel and maple syrup. The sandy soil was only marginal for agriculture, however, and the lowlands flooded often due to beaver dams. The land was left idle in the 1920s. In 1963, Margaret Baird sold the 36-hectare parcel to the

EMC News - It was a great day to meander through the woods in Lanark Highlands last week as the community celebrated the opening of a new loop on the Baird Trail off Herron Mills Road.

The Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation and its partners were on site for the opening.

Located at 2410 Herron Mills Road (County Road 8), the Baird Trail started as a 1.7-kilometre jaunt through forests that features boardwalks over a sedge wetland. The selfguided tour now totals 3 km in length and includes three loops and two boardwalks. It features a variety of woodland types, a beaver meadow and a new wetland, with interpretive panels pointing out salient features along the way. The LCMTC is working on a project to install more signage next year.

“This could not have been accomplished without the help of volunteers from Mississippi Valley Conservation and the Lanark County Stewardship Council, along with the hard work of LCMTC board members,” said Warden John Gemmell (Perth Deputy Mayor). “The new trail loop was designed and constructed by a group of volunteers from MVC, led

by Craig Cunningham, and the Lanark County Stewardship Rangers assisted with the construction of the boardwalk on the new loop.”

One of the new loops, the Munro Loop, is named after Willingdon “Welly” Clarence Munro, a neighbouring property owner who passed away in April at age 83. Munro voluntari-

Defeat denial during Mental Illness Awareness Week EMC News - Mental Illness Awareness Week marks an annual national public education campaign designed to open the eyes of Canadians to the reality of mental illness.

As part of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s mission to fight the stigma and discrimination that keeps people living with mental illness in the dark, CAMH recently launched the Defeat Denial campaign.

This awareness campaign calls attention to the many ways we minimize mental illness. Provocative phrases like, “just snap out of it,� “you’re imagining things,� and “you’re making a big deal out of nothing� challenge people to rethink their attitudes and

how we treat people with mental illness.

This fall, CAMH launched a new phase of the campaign and are encouraging people to submit DIY videos telling us how they will defeat denial.

Marianne Andarolo recalls going to her family physician for help and being told that all she needed was a good meal and a nap.

She was reluctant to seek help again.

It was only after a public incident when she was brought to hospital by police that she was properly diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder. “People with mental illness are not abnormal,� she said. “I lead a happy and successful life and I have an illness, just like people

who live successfully with other medical conditions – mine just happens to be mental, not physical. There is help available and people shouldn’t be ashamed to seek it out.�

Jackie Nourse has lived with depression for most of her life. As a teenager she remembers something “just not being right,� yet her doctor told her that she needed to be happy because she had a lot to be thankful for and she was worrying and upsetting her mother.

Today she is able to

manage the illness through treatment and medication. “I want people to know that there is hope for mental illness,� Nourse said. “We’ve come a long way with effective treatments, but what good does this do if those who need help are afraid to reach out? I went many years believing I had done something wrong and that I wasn’t as good as everybody else. It’s only through finding the right support and treatment, gaining my own acceptance and understanding

of my illness and openly talking about it, that I now know I didn’t do anything wrong and that I’m no different than anyone else. “As with any illness, having a mental illness is not a willful act and if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone.�

According to a recent survey, only 50 per cent of Canadians would tell others that a person in their family had a mental illness, whereas 75 per cent would disclose cancer. With silence comes stigma and

discrimination.

The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, as well as one of the world’s leading research centres in the area of addiction and mental health. CAMH combines clinical care, research, education, policy development and health promotion to help transform the lives of people affected by mental health and addiction issues.

EMC Events - It is hard to believe 10 years have passed since a group of volunteers from the Lanark County Genealogical Society opened the doors of the former Drummond Township Office at 1920 Concession 7, Drummond. However it’s true and celebrations will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Ferguson Falls Community Hall from 1-4 p.m. when everyone is invited to share some of the achievements since 2002.

Archives Lanark was founded to provide a home for the Ontario Land Records that were about to be destroyed as a cost saving measure by the Ontario Government of the time(1990’s). Provincially based historical groups protested, asking for time to find a place in each county where their records could be stored but also made available to the public for research. As the only county wide group, the Lanark County Genealogical Society was given this task and began the search for a building that would be suitable and affordable. Since Drummond and North Elmsley had amalgamated, the Society was able to rent the former Drummond offices for a reasonable fee. The collection has grown so much that a humidity controlled storage unit is also rented. The dream continues to be a climate-controlled facility, accessible to all, with a full time paid archivist- maybe in the next 10 years!

The Archives recently became an independent, not-forprofit, charitable organization with its own identity, Archives Lanark, and Board of Directors.

Corporate status in the Province of Ontario was granted in 2011.

The Lanark County Genealogical Society continues its close affiliation with a majority representation on the Board of the Archives.

As many of the volunteers and visitors spring from a background of family research, there is a huge collection of family histories-many donated by people grateful for the help they received there. One such person from Seattle donated a 600 page book on the Shane, Bayne & Ellis families since he found their early roots in the White Lake area when looking at our land records. However the next year, he also donated 20 large binders containing all the original copies of birth certificates, census listings, etc. that he had scanned here, in North Dakota and back in Germany. He feared his children weren’t interested but realized other family historians would be.

Since we are in a rural area, the preservation of Women’s Institute Tweedsmuir Histories, 4-H and Junior Farmer records as well as local service clubs is a main focus. So many WI branches have disbanded lately that there is a danger of these wonderful books that have original photos and farm histories being sold at a sale or thrown out. Many of the Tweedsmuir Books have been useful to visitors to the archives.

Clyde Bell, formerly from

Perth and editor of the newspaper in Tweed, left several scrapbooks of his time in Junior Farmers and his work with the early Perth Museum. These have proved valuable lately when Allan Donaldson is using them to document the history of the Wilson mineral collection.

Other collections donated by local historians and scrapbookers offer our visitors a wealth of information on most areas of the County.

The most valuable resource remains our volunteers who assist visitors to find what they’re looking for. It is quite common to have someone on duty who has a connection to the family of the visitor so progress is much faster than when one goes to a facility where you have to do all your own searching.

We hear comments such as “I found out so much more here than at the Ontario or the National Archives” but we think many don’t realize we rely on donations. Apart from Lanark County, which provides limited funding, government grants are rare in these times of fiscal restraint.

The other noticeable change in the past 10 years is the number of people using ancestry. com who think they can get all their family info from there.

They find out that the local facility has many more church and cemetery records plus there are many mistakes online where generations have been mixed up and mistakes seldom get corrected (only repeated).

Less than 10 volunteers keep the facility open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. –3 p.m. until Thanksgiving and alternate days in the winter. Not only do they keep the facility open, but they put in many hours behind the scenes arranging and cataloguing. Check the website for more details-www.globalgenealogy.com/archiveslanark.

The Oct. 20 event will feature displays, music by “Memory Lane”, refreshments and a continuous slide show of the past 10 years. A special feature will be a presentation by Doug Bell from the Perth area of a treasured 1820 artifact and related original documents.

Writers of recently published books on Lanark County will have their books for sale in the Author’s Corner and both the Archives and the Genealogical Society will have their recent releases for sale.

Orders will be taken for the next Rural School books to be published - Drummond, Ramsay & Pakenham Townships as well as for a reprint of the very popular Beckwith book.

Stories and photos are still being accepted for the upcoming schoolbooks.

The secret to making the ultimate Peach Cake

25 STOREWIDE

Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Stuff mixer, to mix the batter.

Stir until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. If the peaches in the pie filling are in large slices, break them into smaller pieces with the spoon.

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, and bake at 325F for about 35 minutes.

Check with a toothpick to make sure the cake is done.

If not, bake for another five minutes, and test again.

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven, and let it cool for 5 minutes. If you used a Bundt pan, turn the cake out on a rack. If you used a 9â&#x20AC;?x13â&#x20AC;? pan, leave the cake in the pan. Cool completely before serving.

This cake is very moist and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need icing. If you want to serve it with something else, a dollop of whipped cream is nice.

This recipe makes a large cake, but it freezes well. This is handy if there are only two of you. To freeze, cut the cake into manageable, place each portion in a tightlysealed plastic container, and freeze.

Homemade Peach Filling 398 mL can of peaches, ei-

ther slices or halves, in their own juice water (see directions below for the amount) 1/4 cup flour If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find canned peach pie filling, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to make a homemade version.

Drain the canned peaches, reserving the juice and pouring it into a measuring cup.

Add enough water to make one cup of liquid.

Combine the peach-water liquid with the flour in a small plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Cover, hold the lid firmly, and shake well. Pour this into a small saucepan.

Cook the mixture, over medium heat, for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a sauce. Cool completely.

While the sauce cools, cut the canned peaches into pieces about the size of a walnut.

When the sauce is cool, stir in the cut-up peaches.

Use this homemade peach mixture, instead of the canned pie filling, in the cake recipe.

EMC Lifestyle - Several years ago, I featured a recipe in my column for a cake made with peach pie filling.

In less than a week, supermarkets and grocery stores from Brockville to Ottawa were completely sold out of peach pie filling. As a result of it being so hard to find, I developed a recipe for a quick, homemade peach pie filling to use in the cake.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as convenient as the canned version, but it has more peaches and less sugar.

Due to popular request, here are both recipes, one for the cake and the other for the homemade peach pie filling.

The ingredients for the cake are simple -- white cake mix, peach pie filling, eggs, and almond flavouring.

The Ultimate Peach Cake 1 white cake mix 1 can (540 mL) peach pie filling (if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any, see below for the recipe) 4 eggs, beaten 1 1/4 tsp. almond extract 1 tbsp. Amaretto liqueur (optional) Ignore the directions on the cake mix package. The batter does not need any other liquids.

Butter and lightly flour either a Bundt pan or a 9â&#x20AC;?x13â&#x20AC;? cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, pie filling, eggs, flavouring and liqueur if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using it use a spoon, not an electric

Service intervals and avoiding automotive assault

The Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario recently released a study entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pedestrian Death Reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which analyzed the 95 pedestrian fatalities in 2010 caused by impacts from motor vehicles. Some of the statistics didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come as much of a surprise, such as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was dark or twilight for 57 per cent of fatal pedestrian collisionsâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peak hours for pedestrian collisions were between 2 p.m.

Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

and 10 p.m. daily, largely coinciding with peaks in traffic volume.â&#x20AC;? But some of the conditions noted might raise a few eyebrows.

It was found that road conditions were dry for 81 per cent of the incidents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Limited available data suggest that there was evidence of alcohol and/or drug use observed in seven per cent of drivers and in 28 per cent of the pedestrians, toxicology was positive for drugs, alcohol or both. While two per cent of pedestrians struck by a motor vehicle will die, this rises to 48 per cent for intoxicated pedestrians.â&#x20AC;?

Driver distraction was pegged as a possible contributing factor for 14 per cent of the collisions and in 20 per cent of the events, pedestrian absent-mindedness may have been a cause according to the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors.

The report didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lay any general blame with either the driving or walking group but both could take some important lessons from this

report. As much as avoiding distractions while driving (such as cell phones, electronics, and such) is crucial to safe motoring, the same applies to those on foot.

While we have made inroads into improving some driver behaviours, other ar-

eas need work. One of the most noticeable is audio system volumes, both incar and in pedestriansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ears.

When music is played at upper level volumes a major sense, hearing, is eliminated from the tools we need to drive and walk safely. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not suggesting we need more legislation, just a lot more common sense.

My recommendation is to have an inspection twice a year. Whether or not you get oil changes is up to you, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d at least have a tech inspect the oil level and condition in order to make an appropriate recommendation. These services are usually priced at reasonable levels and often discounted as part of marketing and advertising programs.

EMC Lifestyle - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, I have a new Dodge Caravan.

According to the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual the first oil change is due at 8,000 km. The dealership is telling me that in Canada the first change should be at 5,000 km. This is supposedly because of harsher weather conditions in Canada. I find this hard to believe. If it were true, surely Chrysler would publish an ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual for different areas of the country as the conditions are very different in say, Arizona and Michigan. I am a single woman pensioner and feel I am being taken for a ride!

I would really appreciate your opinion on this.â&#x20AC;?

Sincerely Chris Thanks for the inquiry.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not alone when trying to match what an automaker recommends in their ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manuals and what a dealership service department may be telling you. The biggest problem with longer service intervals is that for drivers that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commute on a daily basis they may not provide frequent enough inspections.

If you drive less than 10,000 km per year, you could go almost a year between service visits. While the engine oil may not have any problem with this, there are hundreds of other com-

WASTE REDUCTION WEEK IN CANADA

OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2012 There are more and more waste reduction options available to residents of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Here are some of the newer options available to you: “Building Success One Student at a Time!”

It’s hard to believe that next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the invention of the Blue Box program in Kitchener, Ontario and that the world has adopted the program.

It’s encouraging to see that in that time, we have moved up the hierarchy of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, to be recycling more materials, and to be focusing more on Reuse.

Producer Responsibility is helping to do this. Producer Responsibility is the concept of making the manufacturers and retailers more responsible for the materials they produce. Since they now pay approximately 40% of the municipal cost of waste disposal and recycling, they are using their ingenuity to reduce costs. It also means that business is now finding ways to collect and recover more usable materials from our waste.

1702 9th Line, Beckwith 613-257-1539 www.twp.beckwith.on.ca

In this region, municipalities, non-profits and businesses are taking additional steps. Here are some examples: Take It Back Recyclopedia – www.REALaction.ca, Waste tab, Take It Back Recyclopedia. The municipalities of North Grenville, Perth, Mississippi Mills and Smiths Falls are supporting this REAL initiative that tells you exactly which retailers and non-profits will take back a whole range of items for Reuse, Recycling and proper disposal. This one-stop site lists everything from tires, to art, batteries, books, building supplies, cell phones, clothing, fluorescent light bulbs, electronics, furniture, hazardous waste, paint, pet meds, sports equipment, toiletries, and even weapons.

Battery Recycling – The Town of Smiths Falls is about to embark on a pick-up program for small batteries. Bins will be placed around town and Cascades Recovery will pick them up and recycle them at their facilities.

Organics Composting – More urban municipalities are looking to Perth’s lead in curb-side pick-up of organics.

township.www.montague.on.ca

Plastics – More plastics are now being recycled, and are easier to dispose of either through expanded Blue Box programs, or dump depots.

Exchange or Swap Days – Now common in the area.

Electronic Recycling – Electronics are now received at a number of locations in the region, and at some municipal dumps.

Hardy group survives heavy storm at MVFN Canoe Camp in Algonquin Park EMC Lifestyle - Coming through a drenching rain and high winds, which emptied most of Achray campsite in Eastern Algonquin Park, 41 members of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) actually enjoyed the challenges at their fifth annual Canoe Camp, Sept. 7 to 10. By pooling all picnic tables and camp stoves under a huge tarpaulin, members were able to continue cooking comfortably and taking part in activities in relative dryness. A few personal tents didn’t stand up to the continuous overnight downpour and six members packed up and went home to get dried out.

At the Friday evening opening activities, Camp Leader Cliff Bennett welcomed all and introduced the camp committee members and explained their roles. Health and Safety leader Graham Hunt talked about regulations and practices the participants would be following to keep everyone as safe as possible during the next three day’s paddling. Doug YoungerLewis and Joyce Clinton

revealed the activities and program items to choose from during the camp and the sign-up process to be used.

On Saturday, after the rain eased, the members divided into three activity groups. While one group chose to do the hike to High Falls and area, the other two decided to paddle in the rain; one travelling up Grand Lake and the other exploring around the local bays and wetlands. The Grand Lake group just got off the water in the afternoon when a real tempest stirred up the water’s surface.

Sunday saw the paddlers join into three explorations.

One group paddled across Grand Lake and up to the Carcajou Bay Falls, another cruised down the east side of Stratton Lake to explore the top of High Falls while the third group took the west side of Stratton, through a series of portages and small lakes to explore the bottom of High Falls.

‘Seeing Nature from the Water’ was the theme of the camp and an impressive list of flora and fauna were seen. Thirty species of

birds were listed including a barred owl, common merganser, ring-necked duck and green-winged teal, brown creeper, red-tailed hawk and great crested flycatcher. One black bear was spotted in the distance, a wolf and its juvenile appeared right behind one of the tents during the night and a painted turtle and a beaver were filmed during a canoe trip.

Dining was a great feature of the camp and members served each other a pot-luck dinner on both Saturday and Sunday evenings. A formal campfire program was conducted on Sunday evening with many skits, songs and stories creating good laughter and camaraderie.

After breaking camp on Monday, members had many choices including canoeing the famous Barron Canyon, exploring McGrath Lake or doing the hiking trail to the top of Barron Canyon. All returned home, happy and tired, without even a single scratch or upset canoe.

Arne Snyder chaired the camp organizing committee, which started meeting

in April to prepare all of the details, site reservations, site lay-outs and registration of participants.

The location for next year, MVFN’s sixth annual Canoe Camp, has not yet been settled but the dates will be Sept. 6 to 9, 2013.

The MVFN canoeing program is a part of the Program Committee, chaired by Cathy Keddy. A new season of MVFN’s natural history lecture series has now begun at the Almonte United Church at 106 Elgin St. in Almonte. The next lecture will be held Thursday, Oct. 18; the presentation Beetles on the Ground will be given by well-known scientist Dr. Henri Goulet, Research Scientist Emeritus with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa. For further information please visit mvfn.ca or contact Cathy Keddy at 613-257-3089.

EMC Sports – Smiths Falls Bears find themselves in first place in the Central Canada Tier 1 Junior A Hockey League’s Robinson Division standings.

Big reasons for that are some outstanding individual performances over the first month of the regular season.

Tyler Akeson is Player of the Month. Akeson had a great month for the Bears scoring 13 points (all assists) in 10 games from the back-end. The Ottawa native plays in all situations and leads all defencemen in league scoring.

Joining him this month is Bears netminder Patrick Martin who earns Goalie of the Month honours. Martin, who was Player of the Week in week 2 continued his stellar play going 6-3 overall for September. The 20 year-old goalie leads the league in wins and started every game in September.

Hunter Racine of the Ottawa Junior Senators is the Rookie of the Month award winner. Racine has adjusted nicely to the Junior A game scoring six points (3G, 3A) in seven games and is currently tied for rookie league scoring.

The speedy right winger is one of the reasons that the Ottawa Junior Senators are currently first in the Yzerman Division and ranked 13th in the country.

Honorable mentions Player of the Month – Forward Luke Edwards (Carleton Place Canadians) and forward Michael Buonincontri (Smiths Falls Bears).

Goalie of the Month – Brandon Lane (Kanata Stallions) and Matt Zawadzki (Nepean Raiders).

Rookie of the Month – D Kelly Summers (Carleton Place Canadians) and F Steve Cooney (Kemptville 73’s).

Spy thriller may lack grit but offers audience a fun ride are tense but that’s nothing new.

They anchor the sailboat in a bay near a small village. Will decides to get some space from his father, and swims into the village. When he gets back the boat is missing. When Will finds it there’s no one aboard. Someone has taken his family.

Will is suddenly caught in the middle of a spy game.

His father isn’t the man he claimed to be but a CIA operative. Martin took a briefcase from enemy agents, and they’ve kidnapped his family to get it back. It falls to Will to navigate his way through this world of lies and deception in order to save his family.

The Cold Light of Day isn’t a bad spy film. The story certainly captures

My Take MARK HASKINS

your interest, and has plenty of twists and turns.

The chase scenes are frantic, and the performances are solid. I liked the idea of Will being plunged into this world with no warning, no training, and no tools to deal with it. What I didn’t like was the poor camera work. Night scenes were very difficult to see, the camera jumped around for no reason during the chase scenes making it hard to follow. Close-ups were oddly cropped making it difficult to tell what was

going on. The whole thing looked a bit like a high school project instead of a major motion picture.

Henry Cavil gives a good performance. Will is a man on edge being equal parts scared, intense and angry, and Cavil nails it.

GIVE SOMEONE A SECOND CHANCE. Discuss organ donation with your family.

THE KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF CANADA

Lucia, Will’s half sister. She gets pulled into this whole mess along with Will. She’s scared and equally unprepared for what’s going on.

Echegui gives a very honest and compelling performance.

The Cold Light of Day is a good story. There were a few odd parts that seem overly complicated, and parts of the film look amateurish, but it’s a good story none-the-less.

When it comes to playing a hard case there aren’t many better than Bruce Willis. He has this air about him that screams ‘don’t mess with me’ which makes him the perfect choice to play a hardcore spy.

Speaking of perfect casting Sigourney Weaver is ideal as agent Carrack, the woman making Will’s life miserable. Carrack, to put it in polite terms, is ruthless. She’s as bad as bad guys get, and Weaver is totally believable in the role.

From Cattle to Cars: Local entrepreneur has positive impact on community When the Phillips Cables’ plant in Brockville closed in 1996, Arnold Dixon figured it was time for a change.

Having worked there for a quarter century, since the age of 18, Dixon eventually landed on his feet with a new job at Shell Canada, but he felt he wanted more.

“I said to myself, if I’m going to do something different, I’ve got to do it now,” he recalled.

That something different was to enter the world of business, a path that has proven successful.

The Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce named Dixon, now 57, Brockville’s 2011 Business Person of the Year.

“It was totally unexpected,” Dixon recalled. “I was, I guess, somewhat overwhelmed when they told me about it.”

Dixon’s local businesses include Dixon car and truck Rentals and pre owned vehicle sales in Kingston, Kia of Brockville/ Na-ES R E -E

TA B L

tional Car Rental business on Stewart Boulevard, the neighboring CARSTAR Collision, Brockville Dry Cleaners on Stuart Street, and Dixon’s Car Sales and Collision in Perth.

He recently purchased the former Algonquin Public School building and is in the process of converting it into housing units for adult living.

In addition to his operating several businesses, Dixon also farms 550 acres of land, raising beef cattle and Clydesdale horses.

Of course, he does not do all of this on his own.

“I have a lot of great people that work with me.”

That great help includes his son, Adam, who takes care of the Perth business and his daughter, Ashley, who works with all locations.

Dixon is also quick to credit his staff for the success of his businesses.

A native of the North Augusta area, Dixon was raised on a dairy farm run by his father, Ivan, who also served

as Augusta Township’s deputy-reeve.

He still lives on Dixon Road in Augusta Township, a road named after his great-grandparents. He also has four sisters and three brothers.

A graduate of South Grenville District High School, Dixon always had an interest in business. He helped his dad with the farm’s books, and that big change he made, a year after the Phillips plant closed, was to buy the Brockville Dry Cleaners.

Wanting to go further into business, he bought the National Tilden Car Rentals business from Stuart and Roma Simpson a year later.

“I knew nothing about the car rental business and Roma stayed and helped train me and show me the way,” Dixon recalled.

In operating that business, Dixon also sold used cars–to customers wanting to buy the rental vehicles they drove regularly—and eventually decided to dive into the car dealArnold Dixon ership trade.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carambeck Community Centre in Carleton Place is opening its doors to the public next Thursday (Oct. 18).

Everyone is welcome to come out between 6:30 and 8 p.m. and tour the facility, said Paul Knowles, the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief administrative officer (CAO).

The centre is located at the site of the former Carambeck Public School, which permanently closed at the end of June.

Linked to the Carleton Place Pool, which is owned by the town, the centre features a gymnasium and seven rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The town signed an agreement with the school board to lease a portion of the property,â&#x20AC;? explained Knowles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the plan is for them to sell it to us next year and lease space.â&#x20AC;?

The Upper Canada District School Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TR Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education is located on the premises, along with the Carleton Place and District Youth Centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both accessible from Edmund Street.

Knowles explained the town runs a before and afterschool child care program (200 kids) at the community centre, from 6:30 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest of the time it is available to the public,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we are already

getting calls from people expressing interest.â&#x20AC;?

The CAO noted, as an example, a local group may wish to make use of a room at the facility on Monday nights for its meetings.

Town staff is in the process of developing policies for the use of the community centre, as well as determining rental costs.

The centre provides a spectacular gathering place for community to enjoy recreation, and Jessica Smith, Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community programmer, is in the process of relocating her office to 351 Bridge St. from the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena).

Knowles said renovations at the centre went smoothly.

In August the town pursued federal funding for repairs and upgrades to the parking lot and exterior lighting around the pool. Unfortunately, the application for grant money ($50,000) to the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund was unsuccessful, said Knowles.

Despite this, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we felt we needed to do the parking lot, replacing the asphalt,â&#x20AC;? he continued.

Going forward and at next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open house the town is looking for feedback from local residents as to what programs they would like to see offered at the centre.

Knowles said the point of contact for this is Smith. She can be reached at jsmith@ carletonplace.ca. or 613257-1690.

PARADE From page A/CP1

The Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place on scene Oct. 5 at the downtown Tim Hortons.

Tim Hortons employees taken to hospital EMC News – Five employees at the downtown Tim Hortons in Carleton Place were taken to hospital on Friday, Oct. 5, after complaining of burning sensations in the eyes, nose, and throat, deputy chief Rod Black, Ocean Wave Fire Company, told the Canadian Gazette EMC. The fire department re-

ceived a call at 6:50 a.m. in relation to a hazardous situation at the restaurant.

Ontario Provincial Police attended the scene as well.

“We had a hard time identifying the substance,” said Black, “as nothing was registering.”

In the end the cause was determined to be a pair of plastic tongs on the Panini press.

of Carleton Place & Mississippi Mills is also helping with safety and crowd control.

For this year’s parade the BIA has made changes in terms of safety. No parking will be allowed on Bridge Street, and the route will be roped off.

Above all it is a great night of fun, said McOrmond, and a great lead in to Halloween.

She noted the weather the last couple of years has been particularly good.

Volunteers, especially students looking to fulfill their required hours can help out by handing out candy or collecting food for the LCFB. For addition information, to volunteer or to register for the 2012 Maskeraid Halloween Parade (by Oct. 19), contact McOrmond at 613-257-8049 or cmcormond@carletonplace. ca. Registration forms can be downloaded at www.downtowncarletonplace.com/MaskeraidHalloweenParade.

Tim Hortons recently launched a new line of grilled Panini sandwiches.

After receiving oxygen, Black said employees were released from the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital after one hour.

The restaurant was back up and running by the afternoon.

candy.

“Last year we ran out of candy,” said BIA coordinator Cathie McOrmond with a laugh. “This year we will have 10 times more candy.”

The rain or shine parade starts at 7 p.m., beginning at the Heritage Mall on Lansdowne Avenue and travelling up Bridge Street to Mill Street.

“It usually lasts one hour,” said McOrmond, “and there is a festive atmosphere.”

Participants let their creativity shine with their costumes and decorations. It is quite a show.

The BIA coordinator is hoping to see an increase in floats this year. “Carleton Place and area community and social groups, businesses, friends and sports teams can dress up in costume and decorate a float,” she said, “or parents can have a day-long Halloween party for

their kids.”

Some of the parade participants already registered include Valley Design Company, 92.3 JACK FM and Y101, People First of Lanark County, Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce and Carleton Place Farmers’ Market, Floral Boutique, IDA Drug Mart and Sister City Committee.

Downtown businesses will have their windows decorated and restaurants will be open.

Once again the event is in support of a very important organization – the Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB). Spectators are asked to bring non-perishable food items, which will be collected along the parade route by the Rotary Club of Carleton Place & Mississippi Mills and other volunteers.

“The food bank is seeing a greater need,” said McOrmond, “and it is just before Christmas time.”

Mom to Mom sale on Saturday at Almonte Civitan Hall

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kids just keep outgrowing their clothes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fact but there is a local solution coming up for this age old problem.

The Cooperative Nursery School of Almonte is holding their annual Fall Mom to Mom Sale on Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Almonte Civitan Hall at 500 Almonte St. from

9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Jennifer Downey, president of the board of directors for the Cooperative Nursery School of Almonte, thinks there will be a lot of deals on childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, especially for young children and a lot of gently used equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really trying to promote the gently used factor, so why not buy them from moms that are done with them,â&#x20AC;? said

Downey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people have a hard time paying for full price for things the way of the economy these days.

This will be the 10th sale the Co-op has held. They hold one every Spring and Fall.

The last sale saw 450 people go through the doors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot through the door! The vendors are very happy with the sale and we

have a lot of repeat vendors,â&#x20AC;? she explained.

They have been promoting the sale with the Early Year Programs in Almonte and she thinks it is important for moms to stick together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely feel that whenever moms are able to support other moms thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good thing,â&#x20AC;? said Downey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We as moms with young

families really depend on it to socialize our children and for moms that are dealing with same issues to just to feel supported.â&#x20AC;?

The parents of the children who attend the Co-op run the sale and all of the profits go to support the school.

There will be over 50 vendor tables with new and used clothes, toys, books, movies, baby equipment and more.

Great night of fright in Carleton Place Oct. 20

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Do you dare to enter?

This Halloween Carleton Place comes alive with a haunted house like no other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carnival Diabloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asylum of Horrors.

For one terrifying night only Carnival Diablo presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most horrifying walk into a realm of total insanity. This place is not haunted, it is infested with something worse!â&#x20AC;?

The event, sponsored by the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Recreation and Cul-

ture Department, takes place next Saturday, Oct. 20, inside the gymnasium at Carambeck Community Centre, running from 4 p.m. to midnight. Admission is $5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Expect the unexpected and be prepared to be scared,â&#x20AC;? said Jessica Smith, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community planner.

Scott McClelland of Diablo Productions will be the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main entertainer, playing the part of Doctor Rigormorto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He leads participants on a guided tour of his asylum,â&#x20AC;?

said Smith.

The walk through is expected to take approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

According to rumour: â&#x20AC;&#x153;People say the asylum closed because something terrible happened one night in October. Nobody has gone in since 1957. But now there is a light shining in the window and it must be investigated.â&#x20AC;?

McClelland has worked previously on scary attractions such as Fort Fright in Kingston, and he brought his Chamber of Horrors to the historic Moore

HARDWOOD

House last Halloween. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 300 people took part last year,â&#x20AC;? said Smith, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so we knew this year needed to be bigger and better.â&#x20AC;?

However, these ghoulish good times may not be suitable for children under 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some haunted houses are just too scary,â&#x20AC;? said Smith.

For additional information relating to the haunted house, contact Smith at 613-257-1704 or jsmith@carletonplace.ca.

The Carambeck Community Centre is located at 351 Bridge St.

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Halloween is Melissa Eirichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite time of year. In spite of this, the Carleton Place resident and Secret Garden Spa owner has not celebrated for the last couple of years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, however, my friend Jennifer (Johrendt) and I decided to have a party,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Almost immediately

friends Lana Kokaua, Katie Thom, Victoria Anstett and Katie Bailey got on board.

The ladies are hosting a Halloween Spooktacular on Saturday, Oct. 27 at the Carleton Place Canoe Club, from 8 p.m. to midnight. Guests must be 19 years of age or older to attend. Tickets are $10 each â&#x20AC;&#x201C; available at the door or in advance at Secret Garden Spa, located at 128 Bridge St., or from organizers.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Costumes are mandatory,â&#x20AC;? said Eirich.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS). â&#x20AC;&#x153;A client mentioned that LAWS was in dire need,â&#x20AC;? said Eirich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need help.â&#x20AC;?

Organizers are hoping to have a LAWS booth (offering information) on site, and there will be donation boxes, too.

Festivities include food,

Calvary Christian Academy student body packs shoe boxes for OCC tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Not even a handful of technical glitches could destroy the enthusiastic, loving spirit of Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) students at a packing party for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) last Wednesday afternoon.

OCC, a division of Samaritan’s Purse, distributes gift filled shoe boxes at Christmas to children who have been ravaged by war, famine, extreme poverty, disease or natural disaster. Since 1993, more than 94 million shoe boxes have been distributed to boys and girls (ages 2-14) in more than 130 countries.

While speaking to students on Oct. 3, Glenda DunnO’Brien, Samaritan’s Purse’s local community relations coordinator, said the goal of OCC this year is to deliver its millionth shoe box – bringing the news of God’s love to hurting children.

Located in Franktown, CAA participates in OCC every year. Dunn-O’Brien’s children attend the private school.

In 2011 students packed 991 shoe boxes, but this year the target is 1,000, and to achieve 100 per cent participation, students are being offered some special incentives – still to be determined.

“Maybe a pizza party and bowling for the class that packs the most shoe boxes,”

Calvary Christian Academy Grade 2 student Anderson Wong packs a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child. said the community relations coordinator.

Last year the student who collected the most shoe boxes got to throw a pie in the face of principal Tom Bourne.

Christmas miracle Pastor Ivan Davis of Calvary Pentecostal Church in Carleton Place recounted a powerful story from last year.

Just over 50 years ago on Christmas Eve a six-year-old boy from Canada listened as his parents explained that there would be no gifts to unwrap in the morning on Christmas Day. “His family was very poor,” said Davis. “Can you imagine what he was thinking?”

After the boy and his two siblings had gone to bed an unknown person came to the family’s front door. He or she knocked and left a box behind.

Inside was a present for each child. The little boy received a tiny toy car that he played with for days.

“I know that this is a true story because I was that little boy,” said Davis, “and I remember that this was the best Christmas I ever had.”

Once again, he told CCA students that they could do the same thing for someone in another part of the world.

Students heard about nineyear-old Ralph from Imus, Cavite in the Philippines. He

items in your shoe box: toothpaste, food, used items, liquids or items that could leak, decks of standard playing cards and items that can scare or harm a child (war-related toys or knives).

Area residents wishing to participate in OCC can pick up and drop off a shoe box at the following locations: • CCA, located at 9749 Highway 15, during school hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (drop off

by Nov. 23) • Calvary Pentecostal Church, located at 7196 County Road 29 North, Sundays 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (drop off by Nov. 25) Shoe boxes can also be packed online at www.samaritanspurse.ca/shoebox.

attends Pasong Buaya Elementary School and likes to play soccer. One day he hopes to be a civil engineer. In spite of this, Ralph spends most days picking through garbage with his parents.

A video of an emotional Ralph receiving his shoe box was played.

“They understand somebody cares and loves them,” said Dunn-O’Brien.

“Delivering the good news of God’s love – that’s what Operation Christmas Child is all about,” stated Franklin Graham, international presi-

dent of Samaritan’s purse, in a media release. “When you pack shoe box gifts, you not only delight poor and hurting children, but also show them how precious they are to Jesus, God’s greatest gift.”

What to pack Fill shoe boxes with a number of desired items such as school supplies (pens, pencils, pencil crayons, note pads and picture books), toys (stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy jewelry, socks, t-shirts and loose, individually wrapped candy in a sealed bag), hygiene items (brush, toothbrush and soap that is placed is a sealed bag) and a personal note (include a personal note and/or picture in your shoe box).

“Most children in these areas can not go to school with the necessary supplies,” said Dunn-O’Brien.

OPINION

Canadian Gazette - Your Community Newspaper

EDITORIAL

Ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure EMC Editorial - Fire Prevention Week, began Oct. 7 and runs to Oct. 13.

A week – seven days. In that time on average, eight Canadians die, according to Fire Prevention Canada. Residential fires account for 73 per cent of these fatalities.

This year’s theme is “Have Two Ways Out” – a simple theme to underscore how “simple preventative measures” can avert disaster. Statically, most fires are caused as a result of careless behaviour, and while there are fewer fire losses being

reported across the country, clearly there is more work to be done.

This year’s message focuses on the very simple step of having two escape routes from every room - if there is a fire at your home. The second component of the message is to practice home fire drills. Practice getting out via those two exit routes.

Other simple preventative measures include always staying with cooking appliances when they are in use, and being extra cautious when cooking with oil.

Fire Prevention Canada, explains all cooking fires are preventable. Also suggesting to choose the proper heat for when you are cooking and to keep stove tops clean and clear.

Of course smoke alarms are once again emphasized.

Ensure you have one on every floor of the home and near sleeping areas. Test the alarm monthly and clean it every six months. Typically the lifespan of an alarm is 10 years, but some last as little as five.

Editorial Policy The Canadian Gazette welcomes letters to the editor. Senders must include their full name, complete address and a contact phone number.

Addresses and phone numbers will not be published. We reserve the right to edit letters for space and content, both in print and online at www.yourottawaregion.com.

reminds residents smoke alarms will not protect you and your family if batteries have been removed or a plug has been disconnected.

Smoke alarms provide folks with time to get out of their home in event of a fire. Given that studies over the past three decades have shown the time needed to escape home fires has been

reduced from 17 minutes to as little as three, with a seven minute response time target for “career” fire departments - preventative measures are vital.

According to the FPC website, prevention of fires, detection of fires and evacuation are key. Use simple yet effective preventative measures, have working smoke

alarms installed in your home, and have a home escape plan, “Have Two Ways Out”.

COLUMN

One suicide is one too many A year ago this week my world was rocked by someone who died by suicide.

It was an immediate family member of someone whom I was close to and my world suddenly became encompassed with dealing with the aftermath.

I could just not fathom the idea of suicide.

As the whirlwind of the funeral and the events that followed proceeded, I was overwhelmed by people who reached out to me offering support as well as to the family.

I have learned a lot from this experience both personally and professionally.

I sought help from my Pastor who suggested I re-read the book of Genesis, I am sure we are all familiar with some of those stories and he said it would help remind me that God does have a plan.

Unfortunately, as I begrudgingly read these stories, I could not see these plans and I was frustrated with the situation.

However, now that I look back, I realize that God does have a specific plan for everyone.

Without going into specific details, I have learned that I could not have done anything differently to prevent the situation or the plan laid out before me.

As a writer, I am now equipped with the Media Guide for Reporting Suicide that was developed by the Canadian Association For Suicide Prevention. It states that you are to inform readers without sensationalizing, use generic photos, and mention that most people who have thoughts of suicide do not act on them.

TIFFANY LEPACK Tiffany’s Take One of the most interesting suggestions in the media guide is that when you are reporting on suicide reporters are to use the words ‘died by suicide’ not ‘committed suicide.’

I believe using these words shows how the person died and not the act of them committing it themselves, again it goes back to the fact that journalists are to inform without sensationalizing the death.

Mental Illness Awareness Week was Sept. 30 to Oct. 6, it is an annual national public education campaign that is designed to help open the eyes of Canadians to the reality of mental illness and is coordinated by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health.

The facts are staggering: nearly six million or one in five Canadians today are likely to experience a diagnosable mental illness and about 4,000 Canadians dies by suicide each year and it is the most common cause of death for people aged 15 to 24.

Words like: suicide, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders are words that are whispered in doctors offices and by family members.

But with awareness campaigns such as this, it makes it okay to publicly discuss some of these issues.

Ottawa Senator captain Daniel Alfredsson has been a key supporter of the Royal Ottawa

Foundation for Mental Health’s ‘You Know Who I Am’ campaign by openly discussing his sisters generalized anxiety disorder.

In a blog post on the website he states “So let’s educate ourselves about mental illness.

It’s a complicated thing to understand-and it can take many different forms, from mild to chronic illness. The more we understand, the less fear and stigma we will have and the easier it will be for people suffering to get help.”

So, I encourage you to educate yourselves, I am by no means an expert but according to the ‘Know What to Do Preventing Youth Suicide Guide,’ produced by Ottawa’s Community Suicide Prevention Network, some of the signs to watch for include: changes in behaviours or friends, low energy, poor concentration, increased risky behaviour, comments about feeling worthless, helpless or hopeless or about suicide or dying.

There are a number of places to reach to in the area if you need help: for youth up to 18 years of age there is the Youth Service Bureau’s 24/7 Crisis Line 1-877-377-7775 (www. ysb.ca) or for people 16 years of age and older there is the Crisis Line 1-866-996-0991 (www.crisisline.ca) Again, by no means am I an expert, but please get help if you or someone you love needs it. One suicide is one too many.

Write on: We love receiving letters to the editor.

Please email, fax or mail them.

Foot-stomping good time promised at annual Country Harvest Music Show tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – A musical experience like no other, the annual Country Harvest Music Show will be held on Oct. 21 in Carleton Place.

Now in its fourth year, the live music event brings together hundreds of people for a common goal – to have fun and enjoy the sounds of some of the best entertainers in the Ottawa Valley, as well as the company of family, friends

and neighbours.

The show begins at 7 p.m., organized by the wonderful Bob White and an army of dedicated volunteers. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at the upstairs hall of the arena (Neelin Street Community Centre).

Once again, the master of ceremonies is Charlie Kitts of Mississippi Mills (Almonte), a 2010 inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame and a popular host on CHIP 101.7 radio.

A tribute to the memory of

Dale ‘Scoon’ Scott, long time Carleton Place volunteer and disc jockey, the affair grows every year, and offers a fabulous line up of musicians.

Gail Gavin, one of the most beloved country entertainers in the area, will take to the stage. In 2010, she was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.

An accomplished songwriter, Gavin has written numerous songs about the Valley – her home.

Kathleen Stroud will en-

tertain guests with her strong voice. She will, without a doubt, be recognized as being one third of the Mississippi Girls (Stroud, Arlene Quinn and Darlene Thibault).

And it is not a country music show without a few songs from the fantastic Bowes Brothers – Ed, Rod, John and Andy – all born and raised in Carleton Place.

Talented area teenager Henry Norwood also takes the microphone.

The evening’s house band

does not need an introduction – comprised of Brad Scott, Andy Bowes, Wade Foster, Ray Donaldson, Steve Hiscox and Jack Denovan.

Monies raised by way of the Country Harvest Music Show support the rebuilding of the auditorium balcony of the Carleton Place Town Hall.

Admission to the Country Harvest Music Show is $15 per person. Tickets are available at the following outlets: • Arena (Neelin Street Community Centre) in Carleton Place - 75 Neelin St. • Graham’s Shoes in Carleton Place - 139 Bridge St. • Nicholson’s Sundries in Pakenham - 2529 County Road 29 • Mark’s Cobbler Shop in Perth - 98 Gore St. E. The town matches funds raised through the Country Harvest Music Show.

Opened on Oct. 25, 1897,

the auditorium within the town hall has hosted such notables as Sir Wilfred Laurier, who spoke in the grand hall during the 1911 election, and the CFRA Happy Wanderers, who performed a live radio show there back in the 1950s.

The acoustics are second to none. Generations of residents have enjoyed the facility.

The auditorium boasts an arched ceiling (about 60 feet), original ornate carved wood and trim, a full pressed tin ceiling and seating for 240 people.

Several years ago the Auditorium Committee was created to watch over the treasure.

Previous improvements include the replacement of the original stage curtain, the addition of air conditioning and two new washrooms, new chairs and a new floor on the famous raked stage.

Rebuilding the balcony would mean an additional 60 seats.

Lecture series kicks off for 11th season

BY TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Beethoven, computer security and dialects: what do they all have in common? They are all topics in the Almonte Lectures’ coming season.

Organizer Don Wiles describes the lectures as stimulating, informative, exciting and readily available at a level for everyone.

“The strategy is to find a good lecturer and ask them what they want to speak on,” explained Wiles. “The reason for that is a good lecturer can make anything interesting and a bad lecturer can spoil any topic.”

Wiles is a retired chemistry professor at Carleton University and started the lecture series after being involved in a similar project at the university. He was also the series’ first speaker in February of 2004 when he presented his lecture on the Chemistry of Colour.

The series has been very successful over the years averaging 50 to 70 people per night. He never has any trouble deciding on a topic because his audience is eager to learn and easy to please.

“I know a lot of people and other people make suggestions too. After 10 years I haven’t failed yet,” he explained with a chuckle. “It’s interesting; people I want to come out are more or less interested in a lot

The lectures are held once a month at 7:30 p.m. in the Almonte United Church Hall (106 Elgin St.). There is no charge but he does encourage people to drop a few dollars in the pot to help cover the expenses.

The leftover money that has been collected in the past is injected right back into the community. The volunteers who help put on the series have purchased a projector and microphone for the library, which were both needed.

The first lecture was held recently and featured Maria deRosa who spoke on Nanotech on the Farm. The series runs until April and features a variety of topics: on Oct.19 Robert Biddle will be speak-

ing on Computer Security for Humans, Nov. 23 will feature Claudia Adams and she will be discussing The Cretaceous Greenhouse Planet, Jan. 25 Stephen Fai will be focusing on Carleton’s Almonte Campus, Feb. 22 Brian Burns will be examining Evolving Communication, on March 22 James Wright will be presenting on Beethoven’s Immortal Beloved and the final lecture of the series will be on April 26 when Sali Tagliamonte will talk about Local Dialects in the Ottawa Valley.

Although it is hard for him to narrow down one topic that he is most looking forward to because they all sound interesting he admits he is very interested in the lecture on Beethoven.

“I like Beethoven and I had not known about his love letters, apparently he fell madly in love with some woman. James (Wright) from the Carleton University Music Department wrote a song about him and local artist Julie Nesrallah sings it,” said Wiles.

Wiles also helps facilitate the Learning in Almonte program and the first course of the season will be on the History of the Ottawa Valley by Terry Curry starting on Oct. 16.

Wiles explained that it will be a history of the settlement of the area from 1600-1900 and they will examine the influx of settlement at that time.

“The Ottawa Valley is an interesting subject and if he’s a good lecturer he can make it fabulous,” said Wiles. “It’s fascinating, the whole program really opens your eyes!”

The Learning Program itself is based on the Learning in Retirement program at Carleton University, which Wiles was associated with for several years. The Learning Program runs on a single topic for six weeks with one double lecture (1:30 to 3:30 p.m.) per week at the Almonte Library classroom and costs $75. The second course in this series will be Mythology in English Literature by Tom Henighan starting on Thursday, Oct. 18.

The Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation is pleased to announce that the 5th Annual Music for Miracles was a smash hit and great success in raising $3563 for the Hospital this past June.

The event was hosted by the Notre Dame Catholic High School’s (NDCHS) stage band, “The RetroActives,” and was an evening remembered and enjoyed by all. In addition to The RetroActives headliners, the show also featured a special performance by “The Jug Stompers” from Almonte.

“On behalf of the CPDMH Foundation, I would like to thank The RetroActives for their wonderful performances during the 5th Annual Music for Miracles,” stated Robyn Arseneau, Manager of Fundraising of the CPDMH Foundation. “The talent exhibited by the students was inspiring and we are so very honoured that their gift of music has once again been used to support our local Hospital through the event proceeds.”

“We spend the entire school year preparing for the show in June and we were really pleased to see that our efforts paid off” stated Tony Stuart, NDCHS’s music director.

“Music for Miracles is something that I’m really proud of.

Our Music Department has accomplished a lot, including winning competitions and getting accepted to perform at Walt Disney World… but Music for Miracles is really special because it is a true community effort. Over the past five years, we’ve donated $17,463 to the hospital, which is a tremendous legacy for these students.”

The funds raised by this year’s Music for Miracles will be used to benefit the Hospital through the purchase of needed equipment. “On behalf of the Hospital I would like to thank The RetroActives for helping us to provide greater quality of health care to our patients and community through the purchase of required equipment,” stated Toni Surko, Hospital CEO. “It is so wonderful to be involved with such young and gifted talent in our community.”

Much appreciation is extended to all stage band performers, contributors to the silent auction, attendees of the show and to all those involved who helped make the

“I was very impressed with the scenario,” she said.

“It wasn’t out of this world.

This could really happen.”

Travelling between the EOCs in both communities, the EMO field officer noted everyone worked well as a team throughout the exercise, showing cooperation and a willingness to help.

She was extremely pleased with the relationships established between the two municipalities, their industry partners and the community.

Carleton Place has two EOCs: council chambers in-

side the town hall (primary) and a room at the fire/police headquarters on Coleman Street (secondary). Beckwith’s EOC is located inside council chambers at the municipal office.

Oddie called the exercise a worthwhile experience – great for all players: Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Beckwith and Carleton Place fire services, Community Emergency Response Volunteers (CERV), Canadian Red Cross, municipal staff and councillors, Lanark County Ambulance Service, EMO, local school bus companies,

EMC News – An employee at the Beckwith Recreational Complex (BRC) discovered an ammonia leak at 9 a.m. on Sept. 27 and was unable to control the escape.

Beckwith Township Fire Department chief, Bill McGonegal, as a precaution, immediately ordered the evacuation of the complex and Beckwith Public School.

Students were taken by bus to the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place, in addition to students participating in a soccer tournament at the recreational compound.

So did this really happen – no – but it was the scenario for this year’s joint annual emergency exercise (Township of Beckwith and Town of Carleton Place).

Staff and emergency responders from the two communities worked together to put emergency plans into action. Close to 30 people participated in the exercise.

Full fire and emergency response was engaged, as well as emergency operations centres (EOC).

“Each year, together, we confirm our procedures and learn something new to improve upon for the next exercise,” said Duncan Rogers, Carleton Place’s clerk and community emergency management coordinator (CEMC).

Beckwith’s CEMC is Niall Oddie, planning administrator.

Rogers and Oddie developed the scenario, which received kudos from Lisa Harvey of Emergency Man-

Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit and more.

Unfortunately, representatives from the Upper Canada District School Board were unable to attend, said Rogers.

Municipalities are required

by EMO to hold an emergency exercise each year.

The exercise lasted approximately two and a half hours. Afterwards, a debriefing session was held in Beckwith for all involved.

Both Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd and Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc thanked participants, and called the exercise an excellent opportunity to evaluate the abilities of the two municipalities to respond to a true emergency of this type.

Kidd said staff and emergency responders worked together to resolve the situation as quickly as possible to ensure the safety of the community.

LeBlanc congratulated Rogers and Oddie for the day’s success.

The Galetta Community Association is looking for volunteers to ensure a successful event! Your assistance would be appreciated For more information please contact

Close to 80 donors took the time to view the 105 stones in the Circle of Life Garden on the front lawn of the Almonte General Hospital at a September 23 event to recognize supporters’ generous contributions.

A number of new stones were added to the Garden prior to the event.

The Circle of Life Garden is a wonderful way to honour or remember a loved one, by purchasing a stone for the garden path. The stones can be engraved with the name of the donor, and/or the names of loved ones being honoured or remembered.

Stones are placed in the walkway of the garden to recognize gifts of $1,000 each.

The Garden was created by Kevin and Jennifer Cooney of Cooney Construction and the stones were engraved by Chris and Margaret Loney of Kinkaid and Loney Monuments in Smiths Falls.

EMC News – Moms and women in the Ottawa Valley have a new online community just for them.

Ottawa Valley Moms (OVM) is a new website (www.ottawavalleymoms), which is a resource for women from Pembroke to Arnprior to Almonte to Carleton Place to Orleans and everywhere in between.

“We are fun and interactive just like our followers and we are just trying to be a voice for the moms of the Ottawa Valley,” said Crystal McLeod from the Pakenham area.

The five founding moms, and one mom in training, blog on a wide array of topics such as: self, family, health, home, relationships, reviews and things to do.

McLeod explained that the women often had weekly play dates where they would discuss a wide range of parenting and lifestyle topics.

“We started to talk about sharing with other moms and wondered if they had the same issues as us,” said McLeod.

She credits Erin Blaskie for coming up with the idea for a website and two weeks later they launched.

“We were trying to research things to do in our community and we found that there was not one website where people could go to,” said Tricia Duggan, who is originally from Arnprior but now lives in Renfrew.

“We want to be a resource for women in this area.”

McLeod explained that they have taken material they discussed as friends and have expanded on it.

“It’s nice to know that people can relate to what we are posting,” added Duggan.

“Some of the stuff you would talk about with your girlfriends, it’s an extension of that,” said McLeod.” We laugh a lot but we write about

An Evening with an Olympian: Perianne Jones on her Road to Sochi

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Almonte’s Olympian is coming home and she hopes to spend an evening with the community.

Perianne Jones was a member of the 2010 Winter Olympian team, a 2012 World Cup medalist and member of the Canadian National Ski Team and began her skiing career in her hometown of Almonte.

She then joined the Nakkertok Ski Club in Ottawa at age 15 and started racing competitively both for the Nakkertok and Ontario ski teams throughout high school.

After she graduated she moved to Canmore, Alberta,

where she now lives and trains as a member of the Canadian National Ski Team.

She is now one of the top women skiers in the country!

On Tuesday, Oct. 16 at Britannia Yacht Club from 7 to 9 p.m., she will be speaking at: ‘An Evening With an Olympian: Perianne Jones on her Road to Sochi.’

Jones thinks it is going to be a great event, with a band from Almonte and amazing auction items including an Olympic Torch from Vancouver.

“It’s always really nice for me to get a chance to see people from the community that raised me, and say thanks when I’m back in town,”

said Jones in an e-mail to the EMC/Gazette. “Almonte is a truly awesome community, and I’m so proud, and grateful to have their support.”

She believes that without the support of her ski family and the community of Almonte there is no way she would be setting the goals she is heading for in Sochi.

“I’m so lucky to come from such a small community that has been behind me since the beginning. I remember reading an article shortly after the Vancouver Olympics that talked about how more Olympians grew up in small towns than cities, and as one of those who came from a small town I can

really see why that happens,” said Jones. “Having a whole town behind you supporting you is a really amazing feeling.”

The support she has received in the good times and in the bad times is what means the most.

“I wasn’t thrilled with my results at the 2010 Olympics, but coming home to Almonte, and to the Nakkertok ski club no one cared, they just wanted to hear about my experience, and share their experiences with me,” said Jones. “It was really great to get a feeling of how much they cared no matter what the results were.”

The event is a fundraiser to support Jones’ journey to the

2014 Sochi Olympics and she will be discussing her preparations, which she thinks are going amazing.

“I’ve made some pretty major changes in my training, and things are going better than ever, I really can’t wait to hit the race trails this year,” said Jones.

There will also be a workshop to learn how to wax like the pros (led by National Ski Team wax technician, Joel Jaques) musical guests Judge a Book, a silent auction, light refreshments, and much more.

Jones believes a night like this is extremely beneficial to her training.

“I feel like part of my job

is to interact with the communities that support me, so this event will provide an opportunity to do that, and it’s obviously a fundraiser, so whatever we raise will make things much easier and less stressful for the next year and a half leading into the Olympics,” said Jones. “Living in Canmore isn’t cheap, it’s an incredibly scenic and amazing place to live, but it comes at a price!”

Tickets are available ($30/ person) at Fresh Air Experience (in person: 1291 Wellington Street West, or by phone: 613-729-3002).

Alzheimer Society opens satellite office in Fairview Manor EMC News – The Alzheimer Society of Lanark County has opened a satellite office in Fairview Manor.

Previously located on Industrial Drive, the Almonte satellite office moved to its new location - on the first floor of Fairview Manor at 75 Spring St. - in early September. An Education and Support Coordinator from the Alzheimer Society will be in the office every Monday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We opened the Almonte satellite office about a year ago,” says Alzheimer Society of Lanark Executive Director Louise Noble. “In order to be even more accessible to families in Almonte dealing with Alzheimer’s, we recently approached the Almonte General Hospital to see if it had any available space. The Hospital has given us space on the first floor of the Manor, close to the long-term care home’s dementia unit.”

In addition to providing information and support from the satellite office to those with Alzheimer’s disease and their families, the Education and Support Coordinator also has access to a meeting room in the Manor to provide group education sessions.

“Our focus is the community,” explains Noble. “We want to make a difference for those living with the disease and their caregivers and care partners. The newly diagnosed, in particular, need somewhere to turn for information and support.”

The Alzheimer Society of Lanark County provides individual support to help

The Alzheimer Society of Lanark County has opened a satellite office in Fairview Manor at 75 Spring St. The office is open Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Shown outside the satellite office are, from left, Almonte General Hospital President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider, Fairview Manor’s Director of Long-Term Care and Director of Resident Care Pam Murphy, and Alzheimer Society of Lanark County Executive Director Louise Noble. those who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia to better understand the changes they may be experiencing.

The Society also provides tips and strategies to help with day-to-day activities, offers emotional support and encourages planning for the future.

The Society also organizes caregiver support groups and the Day Away Program - a

social program for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia. Its goal is to provide socialization and support for individuals with Alzheimer’s who live at home, while providing the caregiver with respite relief. The Day Away Program closest to Almonte operates at 15 Bates Drive in Carleton Place from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays.

“A diagnosis of Alzheim-

er’s can be overwhelming,” says Noble. “We provide information on how to deal with various behaviours and what treatments are available. We bring in experts, such as lawyers and financial specialists to provide advice, and we put people in touch with the Community Care Access Centre and mental health services.”

According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, more

than 103,000 Canadians will develop dementia this year, the equivalent to one person every five minutes. By 2038, this will become one person every two minutes, or more than 257,000 people per year.

“We are busier than we have ever been,” says Noble.

“That is another important reason for us to be in the community and accessible.”

Noble said having an office in Fairview Manor has a number of benefits. “For us, it is beneficial to have a connection with the Manor’s dementia unit,” she explains.

“Being in the Manor may encourage caregivers with loved ones living there or elsewhere in the Manor to turn to us for help.”

Noble also hopes visitors to the office who are caring at home for someone with Alzheimer’s will become more familiar with Fairview Manor and what it offers.

“The prospect of moving a loved one to a long-term care home can be daunting and frightening,” she says. “Getting a first-hand look at what Fairview Manor is like can help alleviate some of those concerns.”

The Society also hopes to work with the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team’s physicians and interdisciplinary health-care providers to ensure those with Alzheimer’s and their families are referred to the support they need. The Family Health Team is located nearby at 95 Spring St. Pam Murphy, Fairview Manor’s Director of LongTerm Care and Director of Resident Care, says having the Alzheimer Society’s

Almonte office on-site is “a wonderful addition.”

“When I provide tours to families considering a placement due to dementia, it is very helpful to be able to refer them to the Society right here in the building,” Murphy explains. “It is very important for those with Alzheimer’s and their families to have a third party to turn to for information and help.

Those visiting the Society’s office will also become more familiar with the Manor, and gain a better understanding of what long-term care is and what we can provide.”

Almonte General Hospital President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider also welcomed the opening of the Society’s satellite office in Fairview Manor. “We are committed to working with health system partners such as the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County to meet the needs of our community,” says Trider.

“The Society provides important services, support and information and we were very pleased to be able to offer them space on-site. Having them integrated into our organization in this way will help all of us to identify opportunities to work together to provide better service closer to home for the people of Mississippi Mills, such as a Day Away Program in Almonte.”

For more information, please visit the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County’s Almonte satellite office, phone 613-256-3113, extension 2966 (toll-free 1-800511-1911), send an email to alz@storm.ca or visit www. alzheimersocietyoflanark.ca.

Oxygen masks for four legged friends donated to fire department tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC News – In a fire emergency, dogs and cats need oxygen too.

That is why the Mississippi Veterinary Services donated two Oxygen Recovery Mask Kits for Pets to the Mississippi Mills Fire Department on Oct. 4.

Dr. Nancy Caven received the oxygen kits from Invisible Fencing; they were eligible to receive the masks as they have been actively raising money for the Farley Foundation for a number of years.

The Farley Foundation was founded by the Ontario Veterinary Medical organization and its focus is to assist people for whom pets play a vital role in their lives.

The organization assists pets to be healthy and happy.

The foundation does this by subsidizing non-elective or emergency veterinary medical care for pets belonging to eligible pet owners (disabled individuals, Ontario Works recipients, Senior Care Facilities and more).

Bob Machan, deputy fire chief with the Mississippi Mills Fire Department thinks it’s a wonderful donation.

“Pets are a part of people’s family and when you save a pet it’s like saving a family member,” said Machan. “It’s important they have the right

Water main break forces school to close

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC News – A planned water main repair at Naismith Elementary School turned into the school being forced to close on Oct. 2.

According to Troy Dunlop, director of Roads and Public Works for the Town of Mississippi Mills, the school was planned to be shut down before the start of the regular school day to upgrade the water meter to a new remote read meter.

“Town staff shut down the water service to the school around 7:45 a.m. The four inch valve, which isolates the school subsequently broke during operations and the top bonnet of the valve started leaking heavily to surface under pressure,” explained Dunlop in an e-mail to the EMC/ Gazette. “The valve was approximately 48 years old and corrosion appeared to be the key cause of failure.”

Due to this break the school was closed and students were bused home after checking if a parent was home.

“We have no running water at the school so to ensure the safety and well-being of our

students, we decided to close the school,” outlined superintendent David Coombs in a press release.

The school board also noted that if parents were not home to receive students they were transferred to R. Tait McKenzie Public School, where extra classrooms were set to hold the students until the afternoon. To manage the pressure during the repairs the section of King Street was isolated from Perth Street to Tait McKenzie Drive.

“During system isolation, an additional leak developed on King Street in close proximity to intersection on Arthur Street where a hole developed on the existing six inch water line,” said Dunlop.

All of the repairs were completed at 4 p.m. and the system was flushed by town crews until 5:08 p.m.

Dunlop noted that the cost of the repairs is not yet confirmed as the road patching has not been completed; the estimated cost for complete repairs is $8,000.

Water service was restored to the school and classes resumed as normal on Wed. Oct. 3.

be affected by carbon monoxide, Machan describes.

“It’s important for us to get them out,” he said.

Each kit includes three masks, a small, medium and large mask, plus the tubing that would hook up to the oxygen tank on the fire truck.

The masks would be placed over the animals’ snout and depending on the situation they would be given four to 14 per cent oxygen.

“I think the fire department is a very critical part of our community and sometimes they don’t have the resources they need for the four legged members of a family,” said Caven.

“I would like to thank the Mississippi Mills volunteer fire department for being a part of our community every day and we are happy to contribute to their efforts.”

The Mississippi Veterinary Services has been serving the community since 1980 and has been at its current location at 2809 Hwy 29 South for the last six years.

October is Farley Foundation month and the clinic is also holding a special raffle to raise money for the foundation.

care for their pets too as they are a family member.”

Currently, the department has one pet oxygen unit at the Almonte station and with the donation one unit will go to the Pakenham station, while another will be placed in Almonte.

The one unit the department currently has, which has never been used, was donated by the City of Ottawa as they are not in their budget to purchase.

Each unit costs approximately $250 to $300 to purchase.

“It’s great that they have been donated because it saves us from delving into our budget,” said Machan.

“It’s really great to see the community come forward with something we need.

Hopefully we never have to use it but it is great that it’s available to use in an emergency.”

“In a perfect world they won’t have to use them because we don’t have any fires, but now they have them if they need it,” added Caven.

“If a pet is suffering from smoke inhalation it would be very beneficial for them to have this. It’s a life saving tool.”

The Mills Community Support celebrated International Day of Older Persons and National Seniors Day with two special ceremonies on Oct. 1. Mills Community Support dedicated the new building at 411 Country St. which is Phase two of the Town and Country Apartments. The building was completed in October 2011 and the 20 unit building enables seniors to remain living in their own homes within the community. Chris Saumure, builder with Guy Saumure and Sons Construction Ltd., Brad White representing Peter Mansfield Architects, Gordon MacNabb board member, John Levi mayor Town of Mississippi Mills, Diane Smithson chief

administration officer and Lee Brebner, chair of the board, cut the ribbon for the new building. During the festivities there were also two bench dedications, right, Mary-Lou Labrie donated a bench designed by Dale Dunning from the now disbanded Almonte Seniors Club #61 and Norma Glandon, a resident of 375 Town and Country, Gordon MacNabb, board member and Doreen Bar, a resident in 411 Country St. stand with the new benches.

Inaugural Mississippi River Appreciation Day event a success by every measure EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More than 40 volunteers reported to duty Saturday morning, Sept. 15, with boots, garbage bags and canoes, to show our Mississippi river a little appreciation.

Event organizer Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley of the Mississippi Riverwatchers noted the clear

blue skies helped bring out the smiling river cleanup crew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided on short notice to include a Mississippi Mills shore line site on the Great Canadian Shore line Cleanup, a national shoreline stewardship program sponsored by the Vancouver Aquarium and the World Wildlife Federa-

tion, and to use the event to launch the first annual Mississippi River Appreciation day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expected a dozen or so folk to show up for our first year, but the final number of river cleaners exceeded forty!â&#x20AC;?

Impromptu river clean ups on the Appleton to Almonte

stretch of the river have been running since 1994, and over the years several groups have expressed interest in participating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect the cleanup will be an annual event,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley.

The number of groups that sent volunteers impressed

him.

Volunteers from Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists, Almonte Amateur Radio Club, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Mississippi Mills council, Almonte RE/MAX, Mississippi River Power Corp. and Enerdu Power Corp joined the Mis-

sissippi Riverwatchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also very grateful for the financial support of Tim Hortons Almonte, Almonte RE/MAX, Patriceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Independent Grocer, Levi Home Hardware, Home Depot Carleton Place and the Town of Mississippi Mills, all who rallied on short notice.

Museum partnership aims to increase visitors tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Sharing of the past with today’s experience is what a new local partnership is all about.

The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum and the Diefenbunker Canada’s Cold War Museum have been partnered together for almost a year. A presentation was made to the Recreation and Culture Committee on Oct. 1 on the partnership.

Henriette Riegel, director of the Diefenbunker had a desire to work together as both museums wanted to attract groups through cultural tourism.

“It’s essential for museums to partner,” said Riegel.

“We definitely have to increase our visibility with local markets.”

Executive director/curator of the Museum Michael Rikley-Lancaster explained they wanted to join together for a number of reasons; one reason is to utilize the skills each has.

“We each have different skills that we can support each other with,” he said.

“We need to share our experiences; we share a lot of knowledge. Michael is very in tune with the Almonte community and he knows a lot of people,” added Riegel.

“I have learned a lot from him. My grant writing has been limited but Michael has been a godsend, he has that experience and he has been really helpful.”

Another main reason for the partnership is they are now able to apply for grants together.

“Most grants need more than one organization involved,” explained Rikley-Lancaster.

He has also been impressed with the growth of the museum.

In the last three years they have had 20,000 visitors.

“If we can turn the bunker, a former bomb shelter, into a family location, you too can turn the Textile Museum into a family location,” said Riegel during the meeting.

She told the committee that with the help of grants they have increased the capacity of the museum from 60 people to 460 and now have a wide range of activities such as spy camps, birthday parties, cold war cinema nights and more.

“I want to achieve that growth,” said Rikley-Lancaster in an interview with the EMC/Gazette.

“I want to grow our education aspects and get more schools in here as well.”

The museum averages 4,000 visitors a year and one of its main goals is to increase this number.

“Their board is really strong and supportive,” said Riegel.

“They really want to move the museum forward.”

He hopes by renovating an old storage room into an educational room, this will help him achieve that goal.

The museum received a $10,000 donation to restore the room and in order to completely fix the room it will need an additional $8,000.

They hope the meeting room with be multi-faceted for people to rent out for different occasions or for local artists to rent the bright space.

The upgrades will include a sink, electrical work, lighting, storage and repairs to the floor.

Another aspect of the partnership is joint tours.

A tour group might start in downtown Ottawa (from a convention or other event) travel to the Diefenbunker for a tour and lunch, then to the Textile Museum for a tour, a local dessert and a chance to shop in downtown Almonte.

Although they have only had a few tours thus far there are many benefits for the community.

“It will help boost our economy,” said RikleyLancaster.

“People will see the beautiful landscape, the creative community; it will make them return for long or short term visits.

Our community has a lot to offer. It doesn’t just benefit the museum but the shops, galleries and restaurants.”

They have been marketing the tours with bus and tour companies as well as the Ontario Highlands Tourism Organization.

He has also been working with a few local Bed and Breakfasts to offer special packages as well.

“We needed to find away to overcome barriers to get people to the museum,” explained Riegel.

“So here we have bombs and quilts. We want to cluster what we have to offer.

We wanted to make it a local experience.”

She explained they are also trying to plan school trips so students can visit both museums in one day.

“The goal is to grow the amount of people in the museum,” said RikleyLancaster.

“I want to grow the amount of people from Ottawa with an exciting cultural experience.”

Street names for Carlgate High subdivision tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carleton Place residents will soon be calling Dulmage Crescent home.

At the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning and Protection Committee meeting last Tuesday evening, Oct. 2, council accepted a staff recommendation to approve the following street names for the Carlgate High subdivision: Lockhard-Campbell Way, Dulmage Crescent and Bryce Court.

Council heard the request came from the developer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carlgate Developments.

John W. Southwell, who has been involved in real estate and development for the past 30 years, is the president of Carlgate Developments.

Carlgate High subdivision is located between High Street and Townline Road West (near the former Bennett property).

Paul Knowles, chief administrative officer, stated the request â&#x20AC;&#x153;follows the spiritâ&#x20AC;? of the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street naming policy, which requires the surnames of past mayors be used and then veterans in the

First and Second World Wars and Korean War. Born in Rockland in 1896, Pvt. Cecil Elmas Bryce was an active Boy Scout in the first troop organized in Carleton Place. He enlisted into the 42nd Militia Regiment on Jan. 14, 1915 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the age of 18. From there he went to Ottawa and the 38th Battalion, and in June that year was sent overseas to the 12th Reserve Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

As back up he travelled to France in August and joined the 2nd Battalion in the field.

From the effects of an exploding artillery shell, Bryce was killed at Pozières Ridge, near Courcelette, on Sept. 9, 1916. He is buried at Pozières British Cemetery, Somme, France.

Pvt. William Lockhard Campbell was born in Owen Sound in 1896. His family in due course moved to Carleton Place and resided on Flora Street. He joined the 42nd Militia Regiment and worked as a farmhand, but at the age of 18 he joined the regular army (Sept. 23, 1914). Campbell would become a member

of the 2nd Battalion, Eastern Ontario Regiment. He died on April 22, 1915 in St. Julien, Belgium â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first notice of death of a Carleton Place soldier in the First World War to appear in the Carleton Place Herald, printed in the issue of May 11, 1915. Campbell is buried at Menin Gate Memorial, Ypres, Belgium.

Born and raised in Carleton Place, Paul Dulmage was first elected mayor in 2003. Three years later (2006) he was reelected in a landslide. In 2010 the incumbent, unceremoniously and a little more than 24 hours prior to the close of nominations, announced he would seek another term.

The two-way race between Dulmage and hopeful Wendy LeBlanc was extremely competitive; however, he would not win a third municipal crown. Under his leadership the town had a number of significant achievements. In an interview during the 2010 race, Dulmage said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reasons to live and work in Carleton Place have continued to grow since I first became mayor. We offer a lifestyle second to none.â&#x20AC;?

Joint recycling strategy takes effect June 1

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carleton Place is finishing up a joint Municipal Recycling Strategy (MRS) with four other Lanark County municipalities, which will help trim its waste stream and raise yearly Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) funding.

Participating in the MRS with Carleton Place is Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley, Mississippi Mills and Montague.

Wayne Fraser, Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public works development coordinator, in an update to council noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;it behooves Carleton Place to review its present municipal solid waste management policies along with other waste reduction strategies in order to maximize the percentage of our municipal solid waste being diverted from landfill.â&#x20AC;?

Fraser said that landfill space is extremely valuable and when it diminishes its value will continue to increase, which will drive tipping fees higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A well developed policy promoting waste diversion will help stabilize or reduce the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual waste management expenditures and further enhance annual WDO funding allotment,â&#x20AC;? he continued.

Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garbage

pickup and curbside recycling contracts both expire on May 31, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really taken the lead on this,â&#x20AC;? complemented Mayor Wendy LeBlanc.

Options Within the MRS the following waste diversion options were recommended and approved for implementation on June 1, 2013: â&#x20AC;˘ Establish a municipal waste management Promotion and Education Program. Effective communications, public engagement and also public education and promotion are typically considered to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;best practicesâ&#x20AC;? for waste diversion programs. â&#x20AC;˘ Make recycling mandatory. Successful implementation of a mandatory recycling bylaw requires strong promotion, as well as ongoing monitoring and enforcement. â&#x20AC;˘ Expand the blue box collection program to include #3-7 plastics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to enhance the blue box program,â&#x20AC;? said LeBlanc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reduce materials in garbage that could be recycled.â&#x20AC;?

She is thrilled that #3-7 plastics are going to be picked up. These include yogurt containers, margarine tubs, shampoo and detergent bottles and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a huge plus for our

citizens,â&#x20AC;? said LeBlanc. â&#x20AC;˘ Maintain weekly blue box and garbage pickup on the same day. â&#x20AC;˘ Optimize collection/hauling/processing or recyclables and garbage collection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking for a seven-year contract,â&#x20AC;? said LeBlanc, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as it is convenient if all expire at the same time.â&#x20AC;?

The biggest change, which is specific to Carleton Place, is going to non-stickered garbage, which was outlined in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Gazette EMC (Oct. 4).

Beginning next June all residential households and industrial/commercial/institution use buildings will be permitted one non-stickered 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 currently sold.

A new style of sticker will be implemented once the change takes effect; however, old stickers will be honoured until the end of May 2020.

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.

Beginning at the end of this month, top broomballers will showcase their talent at the 2012 World Broomball Championships (Oct. 29 to Nov. 3).

The athletes, from Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, United States and beyond, will be hosted on seven ice surfaces in five arenas: Almonte and District Community Centre, Nick Smith Centre (Arnprior), Beckwith Recreation Complex, Neelin Street Community Centre (Carleton Place) and Stewart Community Centre (Pakenham).

At last Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Oct. 2) Physical Environment Committee meeting in Carleton Place, Coun. Gary Strike proposed the flags of the nations participating in the championships be displayed at the arena and on poles fastened to the bridge on Bridge

Munro, Todd Munro, Ken and Pam Naylor, Delmar Sample and Gerry Wever. Community liaisons are Glen Arthur (Arnprior), Kevin Lee (Beckwith), Joanne Henderson (Carleton Place) and Calvin Murphy and Paul Watters (Mississippi Mills).

Brown is the president of Broomball Canada, and a legend in the sport.

The event is expected to bring in approximately $3.5 million in economic gold, with upwards of 3,000 people expected in the area (players, their families, coaching staff, officials, volunteer and spectators).

The championships are held every second year. They took place in Innsbruck, Austria in 2010, and Tomakomai, Japan is the destination in 2014.

HANSON - In Loving Memory of our Mother, Grandmother, Carolynne, October 10, 2002 A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would of never died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill.

A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Your precious memories are for keepsakes, with which we never part, God has you safely in His keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts.

Miss you, Love you each and everyday, Jim, Donna and Lindsay

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

WATTS, Linda Jeanne 1946-2012 On October 3rd, 2012, Norma and Jack Watts lost their daughter. Linda’s life reflected her insatiable curiosity for everything around her. As head nurse at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and then at the Royal Victoria Hospital, she discovered the hard realities that life brings.

Her sensitivity led her to explore how to capture beauty in everything she saw and, very generously, shared her photographs and her carefully written descriptions in LIFE and Maclean’s. She loved nature: raising dairy goats, rabbits and other animals with Francine at Peerage Farm in Oxford Mills, Ontario, and then, raising Boxers and lovingly managing a dog kennel. Her passion for literature led her to the world of writing.

Many computer hours were spent on unique translations and editorials. Her relentless search for choosing the right term to express a feeling, an idea, a concept, revealed Linda as a person with deep respect for words and for the messages they convey. She loved travelling the world and was always inspired by its musics.

The coastlines and the sea fascinated her. Her passion for Greece made her choose that country as her final resting place, where Peter, her brother, and Lois, her sister, will take her ashes to the seas she cherished so deeply. She lived her dreams to the fullest and until the very end.

She left this poem to inspire us to embrace every minute of our lives.

ELLIOTT – In loving memory of our beloved son and brother, Tyler, who left us on October 13, 2005.

God called your name so gently that only you could hear, No one heard the footsteps of the Angel drawing near.

Softly from the shadows there came a gentle call, You closed your eyes and went to sleep and quietly left us all.

Forever loved and missed, Dad, Mom, Ryan and Courtney

HUBERT - In memory of a dear mother and wife; Linda Hubert, October 12, 2007 Every day in some small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent you are always near, Still missed, loved and always dear.

We miss you so much, Dan, Melanie (Chelsie) and Lisa (Dylan) FRASER, Taylor James July 3, 1990 -Oct 14, 2006 Cool Sensations again, November sets in, Time gone, now spent.

Forever, amongst vent.

Wondering why December flies by.

Sparkling gifts under the tree Set aside magically, for you and for me January visits, passes on through.

Reminise the Millennium Cherishing it with you.

February’s chills, against heated veins Scrap paper as knives Delivers no pain Indents scars on our lives Breaths of March Slithers on through.

Gifting me only More time with you April slides in Sending delight Soon we will win Less flesh of night May’s shine Shows me the way Forever, yours and mine Promises of May. Lavish of June Disappearing too soon Engaging the sun Capturing memories of fun July, oh what a time to cherish Monuments to stay After all now, July 3rd, was your day August last warmth Delivers last Promise Everything pure Obviously honest Breezes of September Swept us away Right into school That you loved, by the way October vanished too soon Like the sun in the fall Dismissing you home With no say at all.

Love You, Miss You Amanda Fraser and Family HUBERT, Linda In loving memory of a Great Friend who passed away October 12, 2007.

I thought of you today, But that is nothing new.

I thought of you yesterday And will tomorrow too.

I think of you in silence and make no outward show.

For what it meant to lose you, Only those who love you know.

Forever Friends Miss ya... Cornelia

Today Clutches of cattails in seas of reeds, sun-corona’d Susans, black eyed and swaying amongst tardy daffodil stars and moons of Queen Anne’s lace, wait deep within a blood-red poppy carpet, already leaking life yet vibrant.

Tomorrow’s seed sucks life from today and riots in beauty as if there will never be another.

At her request, there will be no ceremony of any kind to honour Linda’s life. Donations to cancer charities and/or palliative care units would continue to honour her life and choices, and help others.

ANDREWS, Ken – October 9, 2011.

One year already. I miss my best friend. There is not a day that goes by that you are not remembered with smiles, laughter and tears. We treasure these memories.

The heartache never goes away. Though you are gone, you live on in us.

We miss you like Crazy.

You are forever in our hearts.

Love Rose Chris, Holly Jeff, Nikki Scott, Mandy Hunter, Zoe, Shea, Hayden HUMPHRIES, W. Kenneth- In loving memory of our dear Husband & Father who passed away October 19, 2010.

How we miss your smiling face, None on earth can take your place.

A happy home we once enjoyed, How sweet the memories still, Death has left a loneliness We find is hard to fill.

Very fond memories, Ruby and Family LANGDON - In loving memory of my dear husband Peter, October 14, 2010.

No more than a thought away Dearly remembered everyday, No need for words to say Still loved and missed in everyway.

Always in my thoughts Nancy PAUL, Floyd - June 22, 1923-October 14, 2010.

It’s been two long years, Miss you always.

I’ve kept my promise.

Sadly missed, always remembered, Alison and Georgina POWERS - In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Joan, who passed away October 5, 1992.

Upright and just in all her ways, Loyal and true through all her days, Silently suffered, patiently bore, God took her home to suffer no more.

Sadly missed by son Mike, grandchildren and great grandchildren

Self-mutilation trend on the rise; Self-injury as a form of appeasement knife, scissors or other sharp tool. Less frequently, teenagers also pinch, burn, hit, prick and bite themselves. Typical targets are the arms, legs and abdomen and they often hide their scars behind clothing.

Gauthier also points out that self-mutilation is rarely a symptom of severe mental illness or a method used to commit suicide. It typically stems from inner turmoil caused by painful or unresolved issues such as intense adolescent angst and the emotional aftershocks of bullying or sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.

“Most teenagers harm themselves because they are trying to feel better and cannot access other ways to deal with how terrible they feel. Self-mutilation helps to get rid of the tension and to resume normal activities.

When repeated, it appears to become more mechanical and quasi addictive,” he says.

An increasing number of teenagers are experimenting with self-mutilation to mimic celebrities and their peers.

“Self-mutilation is very contagious. It is obvious on a psychiatric ward as it spreads from one patient to others.

The same phenomenon exists obviously in schools and

in our society through the examples given by stars, actors, musicians, and other teens.

It has also been observed in jails and reception centers.”

Some specialists hypothesize the compulsive urge to self-mutilate may be reinforced by the release of opioid-like endorphins, which results in a natural high. Gauthier also questions the connection between selfmutilation, and adolescent emotional and sexual development.

Teenagers rarely seek help for self-mutilation and it can be a difficult pattern to break.

Gauthier says a comprehensive assessment is crucial, not necessarily by a child psychiatrist but by a competent mental health professional.

That professional will be able to assess when a psychiatrist is needed.

“We rarely address the self-mutilation alone. It is one aspect of the adolescent’s difficulties and the treatment will want to keep a global view. Specific suggestions to replace self-mutilation by more integrative solutions are more possible once a therapeutic alliance is established and the adolescent wants to stop cutting.”

EMC News - More and more teenagers are turning to self-mutilation to cope with their inner turmoil.

Dr. Martin Gauthier, psychiatrist-in-chief at the Montreal Children’s Hospital says the number of teenagers deliberately and repeatedly injuring their bodies by cutting, piercing or biting their flesh is growing at an alarming rate.

When the psychiatrist started his practice 25 years ago, he seldom encountered adolescents who purposely mutilated themselves. When he did, they were often psychotic, intellectually challenged or autistic. About half the teenage patients he treats today are self-injurers.

“In the adolescent clinical population, it is about one in two,” Gauthier said. “In the general population, one in six is a conservative figure.

It goes up to one in three in some surveys.”

Female self-injurers are more likely to seek professional help but studies indicate self-mutilation is practised equally by adolescent boys and girls across all racial and socioeconomic groups. The most common form of self-injury is cutting the skin with a razor blade,

Centre for Sustainable Development welcomes new staff EMC News - The Centre for Sustainable Development (CSW) welcomes new staff to their team. Lynn Preston has been hired to be the Coordinator for the Provincial Shoreline Stewardship Program.

Lynn brings to CSW extensive experience in watershed management, having worked for over 25 years in conservation authorities of Eastern Ontario developing watershed and lake management strategic plans designed to improve the health of the local environment.

Working with partners from the Canadian Wildlife Federation, Lakeland Alliance (from the Kawartha area), the Muskoka Watershed Council

and the City of Greater Sudbury, CSW will be engaging shoreline property owners on steps they can take to become better shoreline stewards and improve the health of their lake.

“I’m very excited about working with CSW,” Preston stated. “The shoreline stewardship program works directly with landowners who can influence what happens on their lakes. CSW has a long tradition in this field and I’m glad to bring this shoreline stewardship opportunity to the rest of the province.”

The Centre for Sustainable Watersheds is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2002 to help build water-conscious communities to protect their

lakes and rivers. They offer services in training, evaluation and stewardship in lake environments.

Check out the website at www.watersheds.ca.

If you would like to learn more about the Provincial Shoreline Stewardship Program or would like to include your lake in it, contact Lynn at preston@watersheds.ca or at the CSW office in Portland at 613- 272-5136.

CSW also welcomes Kelsey Jensen, Communications Specialist Jensen@watersheds. ca who will be working part time on updating the website, social media and developing communications products.

THE EFFECT of By-Law No. 2012-26 is to permit a limited number of egg-laying hens to be kept for personal egg production within residential zones, subject to the minimum lot size and minimum setback distances for the backyard hen coop.

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a Zoning By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

Donating publicly-traded securities – a giving strategy that can work for you When it comes to charitable giving, Canadians are among the best in the world. According to Statistics Canada, 5.7 million Canadians reported making a charitable donation in 2010 for a total of just under $8.3 billion.1 The simplest giving strategy is a cash donation but that may not be the best strategy for you. One that can not only help the charitable organization, but also help the donor to save on taxes, is the gifting strategy of donating publiclytraded securities.

Donating publicly-traded securities (such as shares or mutual fund units) directly to a charity is more tax-efficient than selling the securities and donating the cash proceeds.

If you sell shares or mutual fund units to make a cash donation you’ll have to include 50% of the realized capital gains as taxable income when you dispose of the shares or units. However, if you donate the shares or units directly to the charity there is no capital gains and accordingly no income tax payable.

Here’s an example: You have $100,000 of securities that originally cost you $30,000 (the “cost base” of that asset).

You sell the securities and

Manage Your Money donate the $100,000 to your charity. If your marginal tax rate is 46%, the sale of securities will create a tax liability of $16,100 (based on the $70,000 increase in the securities’ value times the 50% capital gains inclusion rate times your 46% marginal tax rate).

However, if you make what is known as an ‘in-kind’ gift by donating the securities directly to the charity, your tax liability for the capital gain would be zero. Your charitable donation receipt would be for the fair market value of the securities on the date that the ownership of the securities was transferred to the charity. The special capital gains inclusion rate applies to ‘in-kind’ gifts to registered charitable organizations as well as public and private foundations. The charity/ foundation must have a broker account into which the shares or units can be transferred.

Charities typically have special forms to smooth the transfer process or your advisor may be able to provide the required form. Check out your charity’s website for information about ‘in-kind’ transfers,

or call them directly.

You are required to report all gifts of publicly-traded securities by including CRA form T1170, Capital Gains and Gifts of Certain Property with your tax return.

Your best approach to increasing your lifetime donations and potential tax benefits begins with talking to your professional advisor and developing a plan the fits your overall financial strategy.

Carleton Place connection to baseball’s Triple Crown “Yaz” as he is still known to a legion of Red Sox fans retired at the end of the 1983 season after playing his entire Major League career (23 seasons) for Boston.

Cabrera, 29, was born the year Yastrzemski retired!

A native of Maracay, Venezuela he is the first Latin player to win the Triple Crown.

Cabrera began his career with Florida Marlins in 2003 at age 19, underlining the expectations for the young man. He joined the Tigers in 2008 and this season led them to their first back-to-back division championships since 19341935.

Cabrera now belongs among the greats of the game!

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

There is a Most Valuable Player (MVP) named after every baseball season and barring the totally unexpected he has a virtual lock on that honour for 2012.

But a Triple Crown winner is the MVP of MVPs. Twelve of the 15 men to achieve the feat were later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

There have been two double winners, St. Louis Cardinals’

second baseman Rogers Hornsby in 1922 and 1925 and the late great Red Sox star Ted Williams in 1942 and 1947.

Also on the exclusive list are immortals of the game including another Detroit star Ty Cobb (1909), New York Yankees’ legends Lou Gehrig (1934) and Mickey Mantle (1956) as well as Baltimore Orioles’ superstar Frank Robinson (1966). Robinson later became the first AfricanAmerican manager in MLB history.

To even be mentioned in the same breath as players such as Gehrig, baseball’s original Ironman or Ted Williams, the last player to bat over .400 in a season (.406 in 1941) is a huge accomplishment.

For me personally, Miguel Cabrera’s achievement is significant for two reasons.

First, I am a lifelong Detroit Tigers’ fan. My mother Molly and my wife Kathleen are both natives of Chatham, Ontario which just happens to be the hometown of Canada’s first MLB Hall of Famer, pitcher Ferguson Jenkins. Chatham is just an hour from Detroit by road. We also have family in Detroit and area which solidifies the allegiance.

But what makes Cabrera’s ultimately successful bid for the Triple Crown especially interesting for me is the knowledge he was using wood bats manufactured in Carleton Place, our adopted hometown of nearly 40 years.

Sam Bat The Detroit sensation is one of 100 Major Leaguers who use handmade, maple wood bats produced by the Carleton Place firm ‘Sam Bat’. If you look closely at Cabrera’s bat you will see the distinctive bat logo (the flying kind) of the company.

This past spring I was among those who accompanied David Jacobson, the United States Ambassador to Canada, when he was treated to a tour of the Sam Bat plant on Industrial Avenue in Carleton Place. Jacobson, a Chicago native, is a huge Chicago Cubs fan. And one of the players who use Sam bats is Cubs’ power hitter Alfonso Soriano. He belted 32 home runs and drove in 108 for the Cubbies this season.

Jacobson was like a kid in a candy shop during his tour! He was obviously delighted when he was handed one of the models destined for Soriano. Later the ambassador beamed from ear-to-ear when he was presented with his own handmade bat by company president Arlene Anderson, who along with her husband Jim own 50 per cent of the firm. The other co-owners are founder Sam Holman, for whom the firm is

named, and Paul Balharrie.

I told Jacobson that I’m a big Tigers’ fan and that Cabrera too wields Sam bats.

Being a Cubs’ “fan-atic” I don’t think the ambassador was too impressed. I’ll bet he is now!

Two weeks ago I was emcee at a special event in Carleton Place that was also attended by the Andersons. I spoke to them on the way in and mentioned the Cabrera Triple Crown pursuit.

“I can’t even watch (his games),” Arlene laughed. “It is just so exciting.”

Friday I called her and we spoke at length. Naturally she and Jim along with Holman, Balharrie and the company’s 12 employees are on Cloud Nine.

“There is a lot of good Karma in the factory today,” she said enthusiastically.

Naturally having the Triple Crown winner as one of your customers can only be a huge boost for a firm which is among more than 30 baseball bat manufacturers.

Arlene, however, is thrilled for Cabrera!

“He is such a low-key customer.

“It is wonderful that this happened to such a nice fellow. I’m very relieved it (Triple Crown chase) worked out so well.”

EMC Lifestyle - Detroit Tigers’ slugging third baseman Miguel Cabrera accomplished a rare feat last week becoming the first player in 45 years to win Major League Baseball’s coveted Triple Crown.

There have only been 17 Triple Crowns in the long history of baseball. In order to win a player has to combine the best batting average with the most home runs and the most runs batted in during the long and grueling (162 game) Major League Baseball (MLB) campaign.

Underlining how rare this is, the last person to achieve the mark was Boston Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, Canada’s Centennial year.
