The local Salvation Army kettle campaign kicked off Nov. 16 at Steve’s Independent Grocer in Carleton Place, above. During the holiday season, volunteer bell ringers will collect donations at the local grocery store, Walmart and LCBO. Campaign funds help support many people in poverty who turn to the Salvation Army for aid. Participating in the launch is, from left, Major Faith Cameron of the Salvation Army, the organization’s thrift shop manager (Maggie Swanson), local kettle campaign coordinator Melba Jarvis, Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, and store manager Serge Robichaud. Below, the kettle campaign also launched at Patrice’s Independent Grocer in Almonte. From left, volunteer Donna MacDonald, Jarvis, Cameron and storeowner Guido Patrice.

EMC News – Carleton Place is always a great place to visit, but every November and December it’s magical. The Santa Claus Parade, an initiative of the local Business Improvement Association (BIA), is always a hit with the kids – adults, too. Once again, thousands of spectators are expected for Saturday’s (Nov. 24) parade, which begins at 5 p.m. Starting at Townline Road it will travel the full length of Bridge Street, turning onto Lansdowne Avenue. “It has become a destination event in the (Ottawa) Valley,” said BIA coordinator Cathie McOrmond with a smile. The theme this year is Twelve Days of Christmas, which will be reÀected in the various entries. “We hope to see more creative input in the Àoats,” said McOrmond. Entrants should utilize the theme and take their Àoats to the next level. This year the parade was limited to 100 approved units, and pre-registration was mandatory. Furthermore, a $10 fee was charged. The money collected will be donated back into the community. “One of the most exciting changes to the 2012 parade is the introduction of the Best Overall Trophy,” said McOrmond, “and the winner gets to keep the award for a full year.” MacDonald’s Sports Excellence in Carleton Place created the custom trophy, which consists of a rich burgundy ceramic base (three tiers) and is topped with a silver cup and Santa Claus. Also offering enticement for participants are plaques, which are awarded to the ¿rst, second and third place entries in a handful of categories: Best Walking Entry (¿rst, second and third), Best Use of Theme (¿rst, second and third), Best Commercial Entry and Best Small Independent Business. Giving is an important part of the Christmas season – and

not just to those close to us (family and friends). In dif¿cult times it is vital for the more fortunate to reach out and help others. The annual Santa Claus Parade supports the Lanark County Food Bank and Christmas Basket Fund. “Pushing carts along the route, the Carleton Place and District Civitan Club will be collecting non-perishable food items on behalf of the Lanark County Food Bank,” said McOrmond. Financial donations will also be accepted, all of which will go to the annual Christmas Basket Fund. And of course, it is always the last Àoat that everyone anxiously waits for – Santa and Mrs. Claus, who wave to the spectators and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Holiday ambiance The festive atmosphere is intensi¿ed, owing to the luminous cascade of LED Christmas lights that decorate the trees along the municipality’s downtown thoroughfare – another BIA initiative. As Christmas is about lights, more than a few years ago, the BIA made the decision to switch the parade to an early evening time slot, and with the dazzling illumination, the excitement never seems to fade. McOrmond reminded there would be no parking permitted on Bridge Street after 4 p.m. on Saturday, from Townline Road to Lake Avenue. For additional information about the parade, contact 613-257-8049 or cmcormond@carletonplace.ca. Tree lighting After the parade, everyone is invited to the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital, located at 211 Lake Ave. E., for the 15th annual Tree Lighting ceremony at 7 p.m., which has become the hospital Foundation’s biggest annual fundraiser. There will be free hot chocolate and Christmas carols will be sung, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there.

Regional recreation network launches in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

Jason Dunkerley, who recently earned a silver and bronze medal at the 2012 Paralympic event in London received congratulations and applause from the crowd at the Nov. 14 tri-county Recreation Summit in Smiths Falls. Dunkerley shares these awards with his guide runner, but tells the audience his athletic journey didn’t begin at the Paralympic track. Rather at his school for the blind many years earlier where he was able to build his skills and develop a love for the sport. “I sort of started to catch the bug a little bit,” he said. Having programs that catered to his blindness was the ¿rst step in putting Dunkerley in a position to develop his love of running by giving him positive sports experiences to encourage him to do more. Today he is a member of the Active Living Alliance. This national organization works

to link people with any form of disability to recreation programs in their communities. It also offers a Youth Ambassador Across Canada program that encourages youth to tell their personal story of ¿tness and inspire others. Jeffrey is an example of teenagers stepping up and inspiring others with disabilities and communities to make sports programs available to all. She’s a Grade 10 student in Ottawa and knows ¿rst hand the social, physical and

secondary to the University of Guelph track team. There he quali¿ed for his ¿rst of four Paralympic competitions. “I think recreation is sort of where it all begins. It de¿nitely is where it began for me,” Dunkerley said. He underlines any activity must be meaningful in order to have the positive impacts outlined above. The Active Living Alliance (ALA - www. ala.ca) offers a resource kit to help athletic organizations adjust their programs to be more inclusive. At the presentation, Dunkerley had these tips to pass along: • When using pinnies in sport, purchase ones with bright colours to help those with visual impairments. • For those who are deaf, waving a Àag at the start and end of a play may be all the cues they need to play inclusively on their team. • Use a lighter or softer ball to slow down the play and allow those with disabilities a chance to use their skills. • Tie a plastic bag around the soccer ball so those who are visually impaired can hear it coming towards them. “You can get creative with it. There is no script or right or wrong,” Dunkerley said. The ALA welcomes calls from organizations (1-800771-0663) that have questions on how they can become more inclusive.

reation but it effects people,” Kidd said. Keynote speakers Nobody in the room knew these effects better than Paralympic athlete, Jason Dunkerley and Jennifer Jeffrey of Young Advocates Across Ontario whose medical condition leaves her with physical disabilities. The crowd erupted in applause when Dunkerley’s achievements in running were outlined, including his 2012 Paralympic medals: a bronze in the 1,500 metre and silver in the 5,000 metre races. “On behalf of everyone congratulations,” said Ian Pearson of Perth who attended the event. When asked how it felt to have a medal put around his neck, the blind Ottawa athlete replied: “It’s a pretty incredible feeling for sure. There’s nothing really like it.”

EMC News - Creating partnerships and synergy for new projects in recreation is now possible in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville following the launch of a new regional recreation network, Nov. 14 inside the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. In introducing the new network and its origins with the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Healthy Communities Partnership (HCP), Richard Kidd, member of the HCP committee, said: “They’ve given birth to it.” As with all new life, the network is looking for a name to call its own and attendees at this year’s second annual Recreation Summit, where the launch took place, were invited to write down their name suggestions on a graf¿ti wall. The network itself will assume responsibility for hosting the recreation summit each year, but is also looking for other projects such as workshops and speaker series. Membership in the network will be $15 annually with all attendees at the 2012 summit automatically con¿rmed as members. The idea for a network came from discussions in the early stages of HCP when it was discovered there was no forum for recreation professionals to meet and share best practices. The ultimate goal of the network is to one day operate on its own, independent of the HCP. Wrapping up his comments for the day, Kidd applauded those involved with recreation in the room, for their hand in positively changing lives in the area through their work. “What you’re doing is such a special thing. You do rec-

emotional bene¿ts access to sporting programs can have. The Recreation Summit was her ¿rst public presentation. “It makes you feel like you’re a part of something,” Jeffrey added. “It also means (the opportunity to have) friends.” This is important, as attendees heard that one in two children with disabilities report having no friends. She would like to have sports programs for those speci¿cally with disabilities and the opportunity to take part in programs that are inclusive and welcome abilities of all types. “It’s both very rewarding,” Jeffrey said. She currently takes part in an inclusive track and ¿eld program where she often runs with ¿ve-year old able-bodied athletes. Jeffrey sees this as an opportunity to educate a younger generation about the abilities of those with one form of disability or another. “It’s good because it gives them a chance to get used to it (individuals with disabilities),” Jeffrey said. At the same time she likes the peer support and ability to push herself in an environment that is safe and encouraging, such as programs designed for the less able-bodied. It was the support of Dunkerley’s school track program where all participants were blind that gave him the con¿dence to move on in post-

Although the end of a match is dif¿cult, Dave and Cindy wanted to stay involved and asked to be re-matched with a new Little.

EMC Lifestyle - The Traditional Big Brothers Big Sisters one on one program has been the heart of the national organization for almost 100 years now. Although times are changing and BBBS is growing in new ways to adapt to the needs of children and families, they believe that the Traditional Program will always have its place as the core of the organization. Bigs range in age from 22 to 80, and they are women, men and couples who spend three to Âżve hours each week with a child in the community. Due to the relationship with their Bigs, the BBBS Littles have learned to play piano, become photographers, run marathons, skate in the middle of the rink instead of along the boards, they have gone to Parliament and spoke to politicians and became President of their school. But most of all, because of their Bigs, they have learned to trust; they have learned that they are special and they have learned to believe in themselves. Dr. Seuss said, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, things aren’t going to get better, they’re NOTâ€?. Things are getting better because of Big Brothers and Big Sisters volunteering their time. Each year BBBS likes to recognize one of their Bigs as Big of the Year. This year it is a couple.

asbestos cause cancer and creating a public registry is a crucial ¿rst step in making sure Canadians are not exposed to this harmful substance,” says Dan Demers, director of public issues at the Canadian Cancer Society. “Once it’s known that a building contains asbestos then appropriate action can be taken to protect people from this substance.” From the 1920s to 1990s, asbestos was used as insulation and sound proofing in buildings throughout Canada. It is estimated that 240,000 homes across the country were insulated with materials that might contain asbestos, but the public can’t ¿nd out which buildings contain the asbestos and the list may not be complete. Extended and frequent

exposure to asbestos is associated with lung cancer and mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity. Poll results also reveal that: • Almost half of Canadians – 46 per cent – know nothing or only a little about how to protect themselves from exposure to asbestos. Only 21 per cent say they know a lot. • A large majority of Canadians – 94 per cent – say the federal government should be responsible for ensuring Canadians understand the risk of asbestos and for informing them about how they can protect themselves from this substance.

tion exposure to asbestos. The Canadian Cancer Society believes all efforts must be made to end exposure to asbestos. The society cautions Canadians that if they know they have asbestos in their homes that needs to be removed they should hire a professional contractor experienced in asbestos removal. Homeowners should not attempt to remove the substance themselves. The poll results are based on a telephone survey conducted by the Environics Research Group with a representative sample of 1,000 Canadians. The margin of error for a sample of this size is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

This was perhaps the last photograph taken of Bob McIntosh before the one that was taken by the medical examiner at the morgue just a week later. In telling the horri¿c story of her husband’s death, Katy Hutchison begged those listening to never forget the way he lived. In conveying her story and sharing photographs depicting her husband’s life to the large audience gathered at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, Nov. 16, Hutchison spoke of the power of forgiveness, and respect. She relayed the message of moving on with life in a positive fashion. Hers is a story that resulted in the forgiving of her husband’s killer, Ryan Aldridge. It was New Year’s eve, 1997, Squamish, British Columbia, Katy and her husband Bob McIntosh were sitting around with a few friends, who were in town for the holidays – taking stock of life, what had been, what the future held. Then came a knock at the

Katy Hutchison speaks to students at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, Nov. 16 about the journey to forgiveness after her husband Bob was murdered New Year’s Eve 1997. She has come to forgive his killer and shared her story of positive synergy with students, staff and members of the public. The event was organized by the Lanark County Community Justice Program. door around 10:30 p.m. It was another couple, saying a young man Jamie, down the block was having a party at his parent’s home. They were away on holiday. Bob called the house twice, each time seeking out Jamie, neither time having any success. Bob and his fellow male friend left to go check and make sure everything was

okay down the road. “He never came home,� Katy said. Two hundred youth were inside the house. Jamie had “taken off.� Bob headed upstairs to ensure there were no kids in the bedrooms. There he encountered a young man. Exchanging words with the youth, Bob was then punched in the face. He fell to the

ground. At this point Aldridge made his way over to Bob. In what Aldridge later described as “four soccer type kicks� to Bob’s head, the fatal blows were struck, severing an artery in the back of his head. Bob died of a brain hemorrhage. “I barely remember the police coming to my door,� she recalled.

In the hospital, standing in the emergency room watching ER staff tend to her husband – she thought, “they get to go home when they are done, but my shift, it was never going to end. I was going to have to Âżnd a way to live with what happened.â€? “People asked me how I could forgive. How could I not? My kids lost their dad, I

didn’t want them to lose me too,â€? she said. “They only had one parent and I wanted to be a good parent.â€? Opening her heart, she let herself forgive. But it wasn’t a quick journey to forgiveness. Returning home at 4 a.m., Jan. 1, 1998, she tried to Âżgure out how to tell her children the horrible news. Her twin boy and girl, Emma and Sam, were just two weeks shy of their Âżfth birthday and it was only days after Christmas. They should have been doing what kids do best, playing with their new toys, she said. Her young boy Sam’s response was to ask for Cheerios. In opening her presentation, Hutchison described Bob as someone who loved to ski, loved cars, and who took up marathon running. He went to law school and this was where the two met. They ended up married and living in a rented apartment in Vancouver. They soon moved to a little town nearby, Squamish, eventually getting two dogs as a bit of a test before deciding they wanted children. Emma and Sam, their twins, were born a short time later. In 1997, Bob was turning 40 and was taking part in the world triathlon championships in Australia. See JUSTICE page 7

JUSTICE After his death, Hutchison, who had been working in community economic development, hired someone to take on her job and she and the children moved back to Vancouver to be nearer to family and friends. “It was the year my kids began school,â€? she said emotionally. Going through the trauma, while surrounded by media and the ever-looming feeling of the unresolved case, a positive synergy was what Hutchison sought out. She continued to describe her own journey, trying to make sense of what had happened to her husband. “Bob was killed as a result of mob mentality,â€? she noted, adding the tragedy was made worse by the silence of potential witnesses. “Silence is deadly. No one called 9-1-1,â€? she described of the party where her husband’s life was taken away. No one did call 9-1-1 until their family friend found Bob lying dead on the Ă€oor. “When the police came, no one would talk,â€? she recalled. “That code of silence lasted for Âżve years.â€? The police went undercover in order to get the information they needed to make an arrest. In the meantime, “friendships fell apart, marriages disintegrated,â€? and one person committed suicide. It is in our very human nature to want to belong to a group, however if someone feels uneasy or gets a sick feeling that something isn’t as it should be - they need to Âżnd the courage to speak up, she emphasized. As well, society of today has become desensitized to violence, whether through technology, television or video games. Technology is also shaping relationships in a way it hasn’t before, she said, pointing to social networks and texting. “We have never before been so globally connected, but disconnected from people down the street.â€? She encouraged the audience to allow technology to enhance their relationships, rather than take away from them. She asked those in attendance who had been at a party with over 100 people, where there was no adult supervision, to raise their hands. In situations like these, she noted, they are perfect opportunities for tragedies to occur such as rapes, alcohol poisoning, Âżghts and property damage. The home where the party occurred, where Bob lost his life, the homeowners were never able to go back to the house again, they were emotionally unable to handle it. “The bottom line is there is no such thing as a safe gathering without adult supervision.â€? She suggested to the teens in attendance to keep the details of any gathering ofĂ€ine, make a plan on how to get everyone home safe and watch the door for people who are uninvited or unfamiliar to them. Photograph She next showed the audi-

a monster, but Aldridge sat across from her in the interrogation room sobbing. This was somebody’s son, brother, best friend, she said of what she was feeling at the time. She urged him to plead guilty so the family would not have to endure a trial, and he did. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was given a Âżve-year sentence. He served his time at the Matsqui Institution in Abbotsford, a medium security facility. When he went away Hutchison kept hearing that he would probably come out with Hep C and be addicted to drugs. “And he didn’t go in that way,â€? she said, noting the young man, she felt, had

years worth of questions, like what happened and why. “I need to understand and I need him to understand what this has been like for me and my kids,� she said. While the police couldn’t accommodate her request, she was invited to make a video about these very feelings for Aldridge. And also to express what she felt he needed to do moving forward. He made a full confession and wrote her a letter of apology, something he wished to give her personally. “I thought my heart was going to come out of my chest I was so afraid,� she described of meeting him. She had had visions of

ence a photograph of herself and a young man, asking who they thought he was. She noted it was Aldridge, the young man who killed her husband. When the police picked him up, after Âżve years of investigation, they asked what he was thinking that night. He said he was angry. “Anger will manifest itself in anti-social behaviour,â€? she said, listing depression, alcoholism and substance abuse as just a few consequences for bottled-up anger. She wanted to break the cycle of anger for Aldridge. When the police called her and told her they were Âżnally going to make an arrest, she asked to be there. She had

just made some poor choices. So she started to worry about him. She did end up spending a day in jail with Aldridge, saying it was an opportunity for both of them to â€œÂżnd the humanity around what happened.â€? After he served out his sentence, she hired him to go around to schools to partner with her for her presentations, to share the message of forgiveness. “We don’t work together anymore. He has truly moved on with his life.â€? In fact, Aldridge got married recently. “The building up of anger was what put Ryan in the position he was in,â€? she con-

cluded. And while Aldridge may not have been beside Hutchison for her presentation in Carleton Place, she did show a video statement from the young man. At the time of the crime he was only 20 years old. In his video, he spoke of growing up in Squamish, and being picked on in elementary school. He didn’t tell anyone and chose to keep his feelings and sentiments to himself.

a turn last week from some frosty temperatures to warmer days.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Many thanks to OPP: reader DEAR EDITOR: Editor’s note: The following is open letter to OPP Inspector Gerry Salisbury and submitted to the EMC for publication. I am the wife of the hunter who was lost in the woods between Clayton and Cedar Hill Road on Thursday night, Nov. 8. The OPP arrived at our friend’s home (where the hunt camp is) around 6 p.m. and from then on it was a constant search with ATVs, dogs, helicopter and I do not know how many wonderful men from the search and rescue division. Two of the regular force came into the house and sat with us (his hunting partners, myself and the wife of his hunting partner) from 6 p.m. until around 5:30 a.m., never ever letting us lose hope that he would be found. When Inspector Gerry Salisbury arrived early Friday morn-

ing he assured me that no one would be leaving until my husband was found. While Gerry was talking to me Bill phoned from Mrs. Wing’s house off Cedar Hill Road - he had walked from Ramsay Cons 2B to the Cedar Hill Road coming out at 8 a.m. Let me tell you that no one was happier about this wonderful ending than all the OPP who had worked so hard looking for him. I just wanted to say publicly how lucky we are to have this wonderful group of dedicated men and women serving our community in many, many ways and this is just one of them. Thank you so much Gail Carvill, Carleton Place

EMC Editorial - Santa Claus is coming to town! No truer words can be spoken as this weekend the Jolly Ol’ Elf makes appearances in Carleton Place and Smiths Falls. Santa will be a busy man in the coming weeks. His journey throughout the area actually began last weekend when he was in Kemptville Nov. 17 for the Kinsmen Santa Claus Parade. This weekend he moves on to Lanark County. Santa and Mrs. Claus may be the highlight of any Christmas parade, however there are many people who have come together to participate. Whether it is through volunteering, decorating a Àoat, handing out candy kudos should be given to all of those people for truly sharing in and helping to encourage the holiday spirit. The Carleton Place Santa Claus Parade, is an initiative of the local Business Improvement Association (BIA). Thousands of spectators are expected for Saturday’s (Nov. 24) parade, which begins at 5 p.m. Starting at Townline Road it will travel the full length of Bridge Street, turning onto Lansdowne Avenue. The big man then makes his way to Smiths Falls this Sunday, Nov. 25. The Santa Claus parade will begin at 1 p.m. at the Youth Arena parking lot and will end after the parade by stopping at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95. There Santa will visit with children and hot chocolate and snacks will be offered up. To kick off the month of December, Perth will be featuring its Santa Claus Parade, Saturday, Dec. 1 at 5 p.m. The “A Cartoon Christmas” themed event features a variety of categories for entrants to enter and potentially win a prize. The Lanark Village Christmas parade is set for Dec. 8. In Mississippi Mills, a busy weekend begins with the annual tradition of Light up the Night Friday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. The Pakenham Santa Claus parade rolls on Dec. 8 at 1 p.m. and in Almonte the “Parade of Lights” takes place on Dec. 9, beginning this year at 5 p.m. A little closer to Christmas, take some time and head to Merrickville’s 38th annual Santa Claus Parade, Dec. 22 beginning at 11 a.m. Please visit your local municipal website for complete listings of parades throughout the area and expanded information on other events happening in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville to celebrate the holiday season.

Bartering was a necessary survival tool for the thirties EMC Lifestyle - It seemed to me that not much money changed hands back in those Depression years. Of course, there wasn’t much money around. Mother pretty well ran the house on what was in the sugar bowl holding her egg money, which came from selling eggs, cream, butter, chickens and sticky buns door to door in Renfrew on Saturdays. And of course, in the summer times, a few more pennies were realized when she could add fresh vegetables from our ample garden to her wares. Father always had a few coins in his pocket, but they were few and far between indeed. It seemed to me back then, that most of the commerce of

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

the day was done by bartering. Mr. Briscoe at Briscoe’s General Store wasn’t interested in trading what he sold for chickens, vegetables, cream or butter. After all, the entire Northcote farm area had an amply supply of those things themselves. But he always welcomed Mother’s sticky buns. These she traded for sugar and green tea. For the rare times old Doctor Murphy had to drive out

all the way from Renfrew, and there were very few coins in the egg money bowl, he would be paid for his visit with a freshly plucked chicken, a sealer jar or fresh cream, and of course, eggs. There was always an ample supply of eggs, and Dr. Murphy, it seemed to me, never expected to get hard cold cash for his trip out from Renfrew. The stores in town were a different matter. Those owned locally were used to bartering with the farming community. But you could never make a deal with Walker’s Store, which was owned by some big ¿rm in Toronto. It had to be cold hard cash. But it wasn’t unusual to see Mother making a deal at Scott’s Hardware or Aikenhead Store.

A fresh chicken for chicken wire, or freshly churned butter for cough medicine. There really was a Mr. Scott and a Mr. Aikenhead, and they seemed to know ready cash was scarce. I doubt Mother was ever turned away because she hadn’t the money to pay for what she needed. It seemed to me Father was continually bartering with other farmers in Northcote. It wasn’t at all unusual to see him walking a young heifer out the lane with a rope around its neck and coming back with a colt. Or he would load a sheep in the back of the old Model T, and come back with a couple of newborn piglets. It was how the farm community survived the terrible Depression that had closed in around them.

THE EMC - 8 - Thursday, November 22, 2012

Although we depended heavily on the hand me down boxes that came regularly from Regina, from Aunt Lizzie, it wasn’t’ at all unusual for the clothes to be traded amongst the neighbours. I once got a lovely coat from my little friend Joyce who had outgrown it. I doubt we had anything to give her in return… they were so much better off than we were. After all, Joyce lived in a brick house and had a toilet! As regular as clock work, we had visits from Rawleigh and Watkins door to door salesmen. They travelled by horse and buggy, and we could always tell when they were coming in our long lane, because they both had big brass bells around their horse’s

necks which gave plenty warning they were on their way. They were both great salesmen, and it was hard to resist their wares. It wasn’t unusual for Mother, when she had bought over her limit to start bartering with them. They bantered back and forth, and when the salesmen realized there wasn’t enough money to pay for what Mother had chosen, they could either take the couple pounds of butter and a few eggs, or pack up and leave. They usually accepted the barter. It seemed to me back then, that bartering was simply a way of life. There was no embarrassment to trading one thing for another. It was just another tool that helped people of the thirties survive.

Generic drug will increase addictions

DEAR EDITOR: On behalf of the area clergy who are active in the Lanark and District Ministerial Association, I wish to convey their appreciation for your support of their Christmas basket project in past years. Without the support of businesses and community groups, as well as our churches and their members, this annual project, Âżrst begun in 1989 would not be possible. Last year, 140 baskets were packed and distributed shortly before Christmas. Over 60 volunteers made the packing effort run quickly and efÂż-

ciently. Each basket included a turkey, fresh vegetables and fruit, canned goods, and bread, as well as a gift for each member of the receiving household. It is that time of year again to ask for your support in reaching out to share with needful households in our communities some of the blessings that we are privileged to celebrate this season. This year we expect to provide baskets to a similar number of households. The cost of groceries last year was about $50 per basket. Please make your cheque

payable to “Lanark Highlands Food Pantryâ€? and indicate on the cheque it is for the Christmas Basket Project. A charitable receipt will be issued and mailed to you with a report on the project at the end of the year by the Lanark Ministerial. All donations and correspondence should be mailed or delivered to the Lanark Ministerial Association c/o St. Andrew’s United Church, 115 Clarence St., Box 331, Lanark, ON, K0G1K0. Sam DrafÂżn, On behalf of the Lanark Ministerial Association

on the market which was formulated to reduce the chances of its abuse by injection. Early results have seen a marked reduction in pharmacy robberies and related crime. Now a pharmaceutical manufacturer has developed a generic copy of Oxycontin and expects Health Canada to grant them permission to sell this product on Nov. 24. Health Canada is arguing that the company and the drug have met all the legal requirements and the current law prevents them from denying approval. There is no question that the abuse of Oxycontin is a real and substantial risk to the health of our population and the safety of our communities. I realize full well that the overwhelming majority of patients that were prescribed Oxycontin used it responsibly

and found it greatly improved the quality of their lives, but the consumption of drugs from the oxycodone family by the U.S. and Canada exceeds that of the remainder of the planet. So why is our continent hooked on these painkillers? And why will our government not step in to reduce the risk by changing the laws on generic drug approvals? There is no doubt that oxycodone abuse, addiction, and related crime will increase as a result of allowing this generic copy to come to market. If you’re concerned, contact your member of parliament.

Support sought for 2012 Christmas basket project

DEAR EDITOR: The federal government plans to approve a generic version of the painkiller commonly known as Oxycontin. Most of you will recognize that name as it has been in the news countless times in the past 10 years or so, more often than not, related to a tragic story of drug abuse or crime. The abuse and misuse of this drug, more than any legal pharmaceutical or illegal controlled substance, has been the cause of great costs to our society in terms of deaths, family destruction, criminal activity, and addiction. Earlier this year Oxycontin was removed from pharmacies and a newer version, Oxyneo was put

Nick of Time Artisan show kicks off Christmas season

EMC Events - December and the holiday season are just around the corner and so is Perth’s own 19th annual Nick of Time Show featuring some of the area’s ¿nest artisans. Over the years, the Nick of Time Show has established itself as an integral part of downtown Perth’s old fashioned traditional Christmas festivities. As in the past, the show will have all the necessary ingredients to help you enjoy a truly festive holiday shopping experience. The Nick of Time Artisan Show is a juried show of original and unique work, Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at McMartin House, 125 Gore St. E. The aroma of hot cider and freshly cut evergreen boughs, the uplifting sound of a Bach fugue pervading the air, and the sight of friends, neighbours and fellow shoppers will all combine to put you in the spirit of the season. The Nick of Time Show is more than just another craft show. It’s a juried show with high quality, one of a kind gift items fashioned by over 20 skilled local artisans. It is also a unique shopping experience in one

of Canada’s most elegant heritage homes. In keeping with the spirit of the season and the heritage venue, the traditional crafts are always a main attraction. Look for everything from delicately scented handmade soaps to pewter ware, beeswax candles, ¿ne woodworking, evergreen centerpieces, hand spun dyed wool and much more. Food is also a major part of any festive occasion. Our German trained chocolatier will be returning and of course no Lanark County event would be complete without a substantial showing of maple syrup products. Adding to the food segment of the show this year we are pleased to welcome to our ranks a local food producer who makes pears poached in mulled wine baked in pastry, Christmas cakes, minced tarts, shortbread and authentic tourtieres and many other items made from her own organic garden. Among our new participants is an artisan who combines a passion for beautiful writing instruments with a love of wood to create one of a kind pens and pencils fashioned from

rich exotic woods. As well, two ¿bre artists will join us. One makes whimsical creatures from natural sheep’s wool through a process called needle felting; the other is a traditional rug hooker who uses hand-dyed wools to produce charming chair pads, Àoor mats, wall hangings, etc. Returning this year after an absence will be a local astrophotographer who will present his photos of events in the heavens which actually occurred billions of light years ago. Also look for furniture which is too exquisite to be called rustic, although made from harvested shrubs in the wild. This is just a sampling of what we have to offer, but you can count on original, traditional and unique gifts

that can’t be found anywhere else. So take a break from plastic ornaments and electronic holiday music. Enjoy some time in the Victorian splendour of the cedar and pine draped rooms of beautiful, historic McMartin House and do some relaxed shopping in a festive atmosphere. You’ll be welcomed with complimentary hot cider and Christmas cookies and by a greeter dressed in period costume. And be sure to enter a free draw for a basket of gifts donated by participating artisans. See you Saturday, Dec. 1 at the McMartin House, 125 Gore St. E., Perth from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. for the 19th annual Nick of Time Show. Admission is free.

Balderson Village Cheese

Postcard campaign highlights gap in support for adults with severe dental problems can affect a person’s overall health.� The Ontario Oral Health Alliance estimates one in three Ontarians cannot afford to get regular dental treatment. High costs and lack of dental insurance are some of the main barriers. While OHIP covers the rest of the body, infections in the mouth are not covered. In 2008, the provincial government committed to develop a program to pay dental costs for low-income families. Financial-assistance programs were created or expanded, but only cover dental treatment for children in need – not adults. Signed postcards were collected from around the tri-counties and delivered to Members of Provincial Parliament, Steve Clark MPP for Leeds and Grenville and Randy Hillier MPP for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington on Thursday, Nov. 8. Clark and Hillier sat down and had a conversation with representatives from the Tri County Dental Coalition, Community Health Centres, the Health Unit and community members. Both MPPs were very receptive to the campaign and have offered assistance in bringing this issue forward to the Provincial Government.

EMC News - While most postcards depict scenic vacation getaway spots, a new ‘dental’ postcard shows how oral care for some Ontario adults is far from pictureperfect. The postcard is part of a province-wide advocacy campaign launched by the Ontario Oral Health Alliance. The alliance is an umbrella organization formed in 2007 to unite the voices of those in Ontario who lobby and advocate for better access to oral health. In this area, members of the Tri-County Dental Coalition encouraged area residents to sign the postcards, which are addressed to their local Member of Provincial Parliament, at participating locations across the community. The campaign’s postcard features photos of Âżve ‘real’ Ontarians with severe dental problems smiling through gritted teeth. A caption below the pictures reads: ‘Why am I living with pain and infection?’ On the back of the postcard, the Oral Health Alliance notes that thousands of Ontario adults suffer with pain and infection from poor oral health because they cannot afford to get dental treatment. “There is no Âżnancial support for adults with severe dental pain and infection, meaning people suffer in silence, or are forced to go to hospital emergency departments which are often unable to treat the problem,â€? says Anna Rusak, Ontario Oral Health Alliance representative. “This glaring omission needs to be Âżxed, especially when we know oral health

Where Quality Meets Affordability

Presentations –Message of Hope – in high demand EMC Lifestyle - With the fall school season well underway, the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee is proud to once again partner with committee member Nicole Pearson to help her deliver her ‘Mother’s Message of Hope’ presentations to local schools. In these events, Nicole along with other stakeholders such as local police services, health units, and mental health specialists provide information on the risks of drug and substance abuse and misuse along with open discussions on suicide and how to help someone who may be at risk. Students are given resource cards that list all the agencies and related healthcare service providers in the region with contact info and phone numbers so that when help is needed, they won’t have to look far or long. With concerns from parents, students, and school of¿cials about drug abuse and suicide, Nicole’s presentations are in high demand, mainly because of her straight-forward approach when speaking with students, not down to them,

and because of her own personal history as she lost her son Brett to suicide six years ago. Nicole, a dedicated member of Canada’s public service, donates her own time to prepare and give these presentations as well as work tirelessly with the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee and numerous community partners to keep the need for mental health and addictions support on the front burner. She recently assisted Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth to complete a working paper on best practices for these presentations, which will be circulated to schools shortly. This year due to the work of the drug strategy committee and Nicole a generous grant from Green Shield Canada’s Community Giving Program was received. These funds will be used to provide information seminars and presentations to schools as well as any interested private or community group, of any size. If anyone is interested in learning more about these projects, they can

simply log onto the committee website at www.cpdrugstrategy.ca. A link is available to communicate by email. One of the newest challenges facing area residents of all age groups is the release of the powerful and addictive painkiller, Oxycontin in its generic form. This synthetic opiate based drug was considered so harmful in terms of addiction; its manufacturer voluntarily pulled it from pharmacies earlier this year and replaced it with a version that couldn’t be transformed into an injectable form. The federal government recently announced they would not prevent the release of the generic version of this drug in opposition to several provincial health ministries, as well as countless addiction specialists from coast to coast. As volunteers working to improve the health of our community, we of the drug strategy committee urge everyone to contact their MP to voice their opinion on this serious matter. Yours in service Brian Turner

Are you at risk for Type 2 diabetes?

“you have high blood sugarâ€?, this may mean you have either prediabetes or diabetes. Be sure to ask your doctor about the results. If you are diagnosed with prediabetes, this means you are at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. But you may be able to reduce your risk through the following: • There are some medications that when started early can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes

by 30 per cent. Ask your doctor if these are right for you. • Lifestyle changes that result in a loss of approximately ¿ve per cent of initial body weight can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by almost 60 per cent. • When planning lifestyle changes, start with small steps. Use the support that exists within your community. Rideau Valley Diabetes Services would be pleased

to help you in your efforts. We offer sessions guided by diabetes educators to support adults living with prediabetes and diabetes throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties. We offer individual counseling and group education sessions. You can also join us for label reading in a grocery store tour. Or learn how to make healthy foods taste great at one of our cooking classes! Our conference will be held March 23, 2013‌..call us for in-

Despite this, many Canadians may be at a greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes and may not realize this. Do you know if you are at a greater risk? Type 2 diabetes risk factors include: • Being 40 years old or older; • Having a parent, brother or sister with type 2 diabetes; • Being a member of a high-risk population (Aboriginal, Hispanic, Asian, South Asian, or African descent); • Having prediabetes; • Having diabetes complications such as eye, nerve, or kidney damage; • Having heart disease; • Having a history of diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes);

Finishing up his statement he emphasized how important choices were in life - he chose

Standing ovation Her presentation brought about a standing ovation from all of those in attendance, followed by a question and answer period from the students. Questions ranged from her children to family friends. Hutchison explained the twins are now turning 20 and “have both had very different experiences.” Sam had no desire to meet Ryan, while Emma self facilitated a meeting with Ryan when she was 13 years old. Another student asked why the neighbours beside the home where the party occurred, hadn’t called 9-1-1? Hutchison noted the young man who was hosting the party had had a bad reputation and the neighbours were in fact afraid of him. Students asked how she was able to forgive and she noted, “I did for Ryan what I would hope someone would do for my child,” but ¿nished that thought by emphasizing “forgiveness needs to be revisited, it is not a one-off.” “It was the only way I would get my voice back (through forgiveness),” she said. The other men who attended the party to check on the home along with Bob, she explained, both suffer from clinical depression now. “When things break and you put them back together there’s still fracture lines.” If she could go back and change what happened that New Year’s Eve, one student asked, would she? She answered yes, she would go back if she could. After the death of her husband, she said the trauma ramped up her emotions. She’d dealt with earlier traumas in life – her dad developing cancer when she was 16 and as a way to cope her mother became an alcoholic and would be one for 30 years.

She had “looked at other constructive ways to deal with my sorrow (other than alcohol).” She still ¿nds she has triggers however, for sadness - the ¿rst snowfall of the season and the smell of snow. Throughout the course of time, Hutchison’s story has been turned into a made-forTV movie by Lifetime and a documentary was made by CBC. The CBC documentary she was not pleased with and felt it “retraumatized” her. Having been in more than 500 high school auditoriums throughout Canada, the United States, Australia and other countries, Hutchison felt very welcomed by those at NDCHS that day. The Lanark County Community Justice Program organized this event. Hutchison ¿rst discovered an organization called Community Justice Initiatives during Aldridge’s sentencing. The program was able to organize a “victimoffender reconciliation.” The local program, according to a LCCJP brochure explained, it is a restorative justice initiative, that is a “positive way to repair the harm resulting from crime.” By involving the community in making those needed repairs, “People directly affected by an incident, and their supporters come together in a community justice forum” allowing for discussion of what took place, listening to what others have to say and ¿nding a way to make things right. If the forum session is then a success, what results from that is a written agreement signed by all present. The agreement is actually a legally binding document for the accused. Those involved in the forum, all have a say about the agreement’s contents. Those in attendance work together to reach “consensus on actions that are reasonable, respectful and meaningful ways to repair the harm.” If the accused fails to abide by the agreement, their case may be referred back to the police or the Crown Attorney’s of¿ce. The presentation was in celebration of Restorative Justice Week 2012, marked across Canada Nov. 18 to 25. Students from various area schools were in attendance

for the event Nov. 16. Brian Peters, member of the LCCJP board who opened the day’s presentation, explained that through restorative justice, “when it’s over, it’s over and people are able to move on.” Saying it is an alternative view of justice, it helps in strengthening and building relationships and in the healing and closure process. Hutchison resides with her family in Vancouver, BC. While dealing with the legal issues with regards to her husband’s murder, she met and married lawyer Michael Hutchison (whom her children call “The Walrus”, she explained as she laughed and showed the audience a photograph). During the more than four years it took investigators to gather the needed evidence to ¿nd and convict Bob’s killer, Hutchison developed “her perception of the societal forces and lack of understanding amongst young people

which one to disappoint, he described. “I bottled up all my emotions and tried to tough it out,” he observed. When he moved into his teen years, he found he was easily inÀuenced by other teens and their lifestyles, and was afforded an opportunity to let his anger out - through drugs, parties and trouble with the law. Then a good friend died in a drinking and driving incident and once again he was thrown into a cycle of anger, not knowing how to deal with his emotions. When New Year’s Eve 1997 rolled around, he was still so full of fury when he and his friends showed up to that ill-fated party. Drinking early on in the evening, those at the house called all the people they knew, inviting one and all to come and party. People showed up in waves, drinking and passing out early in the night. He described Bob’s arrival, as a stranger coming into the home and telling everyone to disperse, “no one liked it. They were taking away our fun.” His anger manifested itself as he kicked Bob’s head. It was an opportunity to show his friends what he was capable of and to gain respect, he said. He went back downstairs, pretending nothing had happened. Ten minutes later the police and ambulance arrived, and because of his previous trouble with the law, and not liking the cops, he and his friends left to ¿nd another party. He kept this a secret, just like the many he kept inside before. “What was one more?” he calmly said. The next four-and-a-half years he found himself depressed, having suicidal thoughts, and isolated himself from his friends and family. Those feelings of anger were still there, however. “It (rage) was controlling my life at the time, but I ignored it.”

Support your local snowmobile club by purchasing your 2013 trail permit EMC Lifestyle - The Beautiful Eastern Association of Snowmobile Trails (BEAST) is a proud member of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC). The BEAST is a volunteer led not-for-proÂżt association, with through strong leadership, provides a wide range of quality programs and services to, and on behalf of, its members. The local trail network connects communities as far south as Richmond and Smiths Falls and as far north as Almonte bordering Lanark, Stittsville and Kanata. The local trail network contributes and interconnects with the provincial network of organized snowmobile trails connecting Ontario communities and providing responsible riding experiences that are safe, enjoyable and environmentally sustainable. The majority of the snowmobile trails within the local trail network are on private property graciously allowed by numerous landowners. In a number of instances the trails cross sensitive parcels of property and by deviating from the maintained trail base you may cause irreversible damage to the landowners property and jeopardize the entire trail system. Please stay on the trail.

The Beautiful Eastern Association of Snowmobile Trails (BEAST) is a proud member of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC). Purchasing your trail permit now generates critical income to cover the initial fall start up costs for the club and allows the club to budget accordingly for the rest of the season. It takes countless volunteer hours to negotiate land access, clear brush, cut down interfering limbs, and smooth out the base of the trail. Volunteers must also build bridges over creeks, rivers and low spots, and that takes a lot of work and money. This is all com-

pleted by volunteers who are true ambassadors of the sport. Without the donated land and hidden heroes, the annual cost for a trail permit would escalate to an unsustainable value, signi¿cantly higher than it is now. While the past two winter’s

In a recent survey of non-volunteering snowmobilers, 39 per cent of respondents indicated they didn’t have enough time to commit time throughout the whole year. According to the 2002 Canadian Census, 75 per cent of the people who volunteer do so only a few hours (under 20) each year.

Common-law couples – 10 ďŹ nancial factors you need to know

1. According to the federal Income Tax Act, a couple is considered to be in a commonlaw relationship if they have lived together in a conjugal relationship for a period of twelve months or have lived together for a shorter time but are raising a child together. For income tax purposes, they are treated the same as a married couple.

How you can help: • Don’t wait, buy your annual permit now! Purchasing your permit now generates critical income to cover the initial fall start up costs for the club and allows the club to budget accordingly for the rest of the season. As an added incentive, if you purchase your annual trail permit on or before Dec. 1, you can save $50 off the annual seasonal permit ($260) as well as receive many free, year-round OFSC member bene¿ts, which can save you more than enough money to pay for your permit.

Manage Your Money common-law partners whose relationship breaks down do not have any statutory right to a division of property, no matter how long they have lived together. 4. You and your common-law partner should discuss how you will reconcile your individual ¿nancial objectives, resources and obligations should your relationship come to an end. Consider writing down your intentions regarding a potential division of assets in a cohabitation agreement. Attach your agreement to a list of each partner’s assets and personal effects. 5. Discuss how much you expect to spend, save and invest and who will manage your shared ¿nances, including paying the bills and splitting household expenditures. 6. Make sure you each have a valid will that reÀects your rights to property division in your province of residence. Given the frequency of changes in the law in this area, it’s crucial that you speak to your legal and ¿nancial advisors regularly and update as required. 7. Review and revise as necessary the bene¿ciaries for your life insurance policies and registered investment plans. 8. Designate a power of attorney to act for you should you become mentally incompetent.

9. If you have children from a previous relationship, be sure that they are included in your estate plan. Leaving everything to your new spouse through direct beneÂżciary designations could inadvertently disinherit your children. You should speak to your legal and Âżnancial advisors to ensure your children are covered. 10. Don’t make the ‘common’ mistake of solving all your Âżnancial complexities on your own. Professional Âżnancial and legal advisors can also be your effective partner in achieving all your life goals. 1

Parks Canada urges caution around Rideau Canal EMC News – As you and your family enjoy outdoor activities this winter, Parks Canada encourages you to be conscious of the hazards of freezing water and snow covered areas and would like to remind you to always exercise caution in and around canal structures and channels, especially downstream of dams and areas of running water.

With the Rideau Canal and its lockstations closed for the winter, staff is not on site to clear and salt paths or other open areas. Although some sections of the canal have been drained substantially for the off-season, stretches of deep water still exist, and ice thickness can be deceptive. Parents are asked to always be vigilant with their children

near the water. We hope everyone who visited the Rideau Canal this past season had a wonderful experience; our staff is looking forward to serving you again in 2013 as Parks Canada is already preparing for the 181st consecutive season of canal operations. Submitted by Parks Canada.

Time travels in a Ford Lab; Car Counselor takes trip to Michigan

Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

rior vehicle construction before a prototype is ever built. The Human Machine Interface lab involved work on touchscreen controls, new instrument cluster designs and voice activation systems. While Ford has taken some hits lately regarding its ‘My Touch’ display/control system, recent upgrades to existing vehicles have ironed out many of the bugs, and from the demonstration we witnessed on voice activation, the complaints about delays between voice requests and function executions will soon be history. Our host at this lab, James Rankin, mentioned that some people just can’t be heard correctly by even the best voice activation system due to their accents, speaking clarity, or intonations just like some spouses have a hard time getting their commands understood by their partners. My advice here, is if you’re considering buying a vehicle with this option, try it out during a demo test drive to make sure you and your car are on speaking terms. One of the most interesting labs we toured was the Bio lab headed by a very enthusiastic and committed Dr. Deborah Mielewski. Her team was chal-

lenged with the unique task of reducing the amount of petroleum used in the approximately 300 lbs of plastic and fabric that goes into the average vehicle. They have had great success in using soybean and corn oil as well as waste paper, textile clippings, wheat straw, and even wood ¿bres in the construction of interior panels and parts, seat foam pads and covers, and Àoor carpeting. Henry Ford, who used a lot of wood in the construction of his Model T’s and A’s would have been proud. As

many of the bio-materials they experiment with are normally destined for land¿ll as waste byproducts of other industries, the bene¿t to the environment is multi-faceted: reducing petroleum use, improving the carbon footprint, and shrinking the amount of waste going to land¿lls. To prove, even lab scientists have a sense of humour, Deborah’s team recently experimented with shredded used U.S. paper currency as a building material. As the U.S. mint uses a lot of cotton and linen ¿bre in their manufacturing process, the Ford Bio lab thought it might make a great raw material. They were right, and the prototype automotive component they created with this old money was a coin tray. Henry Ford always stressed

the bene¿ts of a good working relationship between agriculture and his company. After all, Ford was a major supplier of farm equipment to the U.S. and Canada, and Henry knew the value of his farming customers. The Bio lab keeps up this tradition and their work with soybean oil. They’ve attracted funding from a U.S. soybean farming association as well as expert advice on how to optimize their uses of this plant. For the critics that might be concerned about using food crops for non-food uses thereby driving up the cost of groceries, Deborah reminded us that they use a relatively small amount compared to the ethanol fuel industry and their products don’t end up as tailpipe emissions but as lasting hard products. Her team has gone one step further

and done what many industry leaders said was impossible, created a process to recycle seat and headrest foam eliminating another risk to our environment. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@ perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

EMC Lifestyle – In the interests of front-end disclosure, I (with other members of the Canadian auto media) recently attended a press tour of Ford’s Research and Advanced Engineering Centre in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford paid for our airfare, hotel, and meals during the one evening and half-day event. Ford isn’t alone in their continuing efforts to improve the safety, reliability, ef¿ciency, and function of their products and only time and sales will tell if they do their jobs better than the competition. At the beginning of our tour we met with Ford’s chief product analyst, Dr. Bob Santer, who reminded us that when we entered the sprawling complex we actually travelled ¿ve years in the future as the products and improvements they were currently working on wouldn’t hit the streets until the 2017 model year. We got behind the scenes tours of several different labs from Light Weighting (research into new body panel materials and construction) to the Human Occupancy Package Simulator which measures and rates the ease or dif¿culty drivers would experience getting in and out of a new vehicle design or reaching controls and switches. This lab was taking full advantage of new technologies in motion tracking video systems and computer aided design to rate any changes in body and inte-

The Once helps get back to Remembrance Day EMC Lifestyle – Remembrance Day has always been a day I make sure to be at a cenotaph somewhere, wherever I happen to be. This year’s balmy weather on the day brought out even more people to the already usually very well attended Cenotaph in front of Perth’s Great War Memorial Hospital. As I gazed around the crowd, I was so pleased to see so many age groups. From the Veterans remembering the joys and horrors of their enlisted days, many supported by their extended families, even to babes in arms, the recently returned military personnel of which many appeared to these ageing eyes far too young and then the rest of us all taking the time to remember, each for our own reasons. Just turn on the worlds often turmoiled news and you realize so many reasons to give thanks to all who gave their lives to allow us the freedoms we too often take for granted. When I think of these freedoms, freedom of expression is one of the most revered in my mind. Music being the universal language, this great land of ours having a bountiful variety of talented singer/ songwriters, it makes me

Musical Musings STEVE TENNANT

so thankful to live in such a magical place where so many offer their stories and thoughts via the medium of music. We all have our favourites with so much to choose from. One of my favourites this year is a Newfoundland based trio called The Once. It somehow seemed Âżtting to be attending a show by them on Remembrance Day. Their often tragic true storybased songs shed light on “The Rock’sâ€? nautical life and all it touches, and, getting back to Remembrance Day, maybe that “all it touchesâ€? part is also what we tend to forget about war .... how it’s not just those who lose their lives or are injured, but also how it affects their families, friends, communities, co-workers, neighbours. It affects us all. I’m almost afraid to write and share this because I’m sure it will make tickets all that harder to get but it deserves my fessing up to continually enjoying the wonderful dinner shows

going on at The Sharbot Lake Country Inn. Sandra and Frank White and their family renovated this business a couple of years ago, creating a lovely, warm, welcoming dining room/ pub with guest rooms attached, many with a wonderful scenic view overlooking the lake. Get on their email list and take in a dinner and show and you’ll see why it was here I again looked forward to enjoying The Once. I’d ¿rst heard them on CBC 2 Radio last year and then started picking up a positive buzz about them in newspaper articles and folk music periodicals. I ¿nally ¿rst heard them live a year ago at the Ontario Council of Folk Festival Conference where they did a showcase and won me over by the end of their ¿rst song. I was able to catch a song here and there as they performed in smaller spaces that weekend and each time they impressed me more. Their positive energy, professional yet

comforting style make you feel immediately at home, sitting and being warmed by the ¿re. They keep it simple by letting their vocal harmonies and acoustic instrumentation do the work for them.... and the stories. From the tales of ¿shing villages, family vignettes, humorous incidents, loves lost or traditional lore they harken a room to silence and listen ... wanting for every word. Geraldine Hollett is lead with a strong vocal presentation as wholesome as mother’s milk, her smile alone lighting up any room. Add Phil Churchill and Andrew Dale’s harmonies and you’ve got a concoction as comforting as Lanark Maple Syrup. The guys add tasty yet uncomplicated accompaniments with guitar, banjo, mandolin and bazouki. They’re not afraid to sing a cappella for greater effect, the intimacy created like snugglin’ into Àannel. I caught them before at the Country Inn in the Spring, Stewart Park Festival this Summer and couldn’t wait for this multiple award winning trio to work their magic again, back at the Inn. Add a tasty meal, fellowship of a full room of like-minded music lovers from all over

and The Once proved again why I keep coming back for more. Their obvious yet humble dedication to their craft shows like a proud baker standing smiling behind a counter full of oven fresh wares. They have made their own music of Newfoundland, beyond the jigs and reels. They promote and educate through their stories of local legends like Ron Hynes, Âżd-

dler Emile Benoit and poets Al Pittman and George Murray. They leave you spellbound, wanting for more. It’s so nice to have my hunger for both good food and wonderfully live music satis¿ed, all in one place. Thanks Sandra and Frank ..... Support live music everywhere.

Crime Stoppers Christmas Social back and better than ever in 2012 mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – A few years’ hiatus for ‘A Christmas Social’ has allowed Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers to bring this fundraiser back - bigger and better than ever in 2012. Offering the same popular features from past events – social activity, entertainment, refreshments, snacks and more. The SFDCS board hopes a large crowd will come out to seize the mix and mingle opportunity. This year’s event takes place Nov. 28 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Smiths Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. Admission is just $5, but organizers are asking those who attend to bring along a non-perishable food item. Partnering with the local Build a Mountain of Food drive, Carl Evoy, local association board president explained, food donations will be given to the campaign. “Everyone who attended our last Christmas Social raved they had a wonder-

ful time. The board wanted to bring back what was a fun evening,” Evoy noted. “Taking a break from the social for a few years has allowed us to plan an even bigger and better event.” The event is really two pronged for the association, the ¿rst goal of course to raise funds; the second goal is to raise awareness. “The whole idea is to have a social, casual get together,” Evoy emphasized. “It is just a fun evening. You can meet people and see what’s going on around town, and see the museum. All while raising funds for an important cause.” Crime Stoppers receives no funding period, funding comes from fundraisers and the sale of Nevada tickets. Monthly costs include $200-$300 for the 1-800 phone line coupled with the answering service expenses. The service offers anyone with information to a local crime a way to provide it to the police without being identi¿ed. It is operated with the support of a Smiths

Falls Police co-ordinator who takes the calls and a team of dedicated volunteers whom together ¿nd ways to support the ongoing operational costs of the system. The Crime Stoppers service operates entirely through donations. For tickets, contact any Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers board member or call Evoy at 613-2832444, tickets can also be purchased at Impression Printing, Smiths Falls or at the Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce of¿ce. Locally Crime Stoppers

began in the summer of 1990 as a satellite to the Kingston and District Crime Stoppers, however in September of 1992, things changed. That year, Smiths Falls formed its own program independent of Kingston, which continues to serve Smiths Falls and immediate area. Crime Stoppers is a nonpro¿t program, operated by a board of directors. The board features members of the local community who are responsible for fundraising, advertisement, payment of rewards and all other functions of the local

association. Crime Stoppers works closely with the police and supplies information from callers to the local department to assist in the solving of crimes. Callers providing information leading to arrests are eligible for rewards up to $2,000. Those wishing to provide a tip may call 1-800-222TIPS (8477) and know they will remain anonymous. No names are asked, no attempts are made to trace the call or identify the caller, and the Crime Stoppers

phones do not have call display. Calls are answered 24 hours a day. When calling in the caller is given a code number with which they will identify themselves in any future calls. Those providing tips are given a date to call Crime Stoppers back. They will be updated on the status of the investigation, perhaps asked for more information, or if the tip has resulted in an arrest, or recovery of property or drugs, the caller will be guided through the procedure of collecting their reward.

UCDSB earns Canada Award of Excellence Board had to demonstrate there was a sound systematic approach to a healthy workplace with good results being achieved in key areas. Among the reasons an Excellence Canada veri¿cation team recommended the board for certi¿cation were that: Senior leadership has transformed the UCDSB, embedding a culture of wellness that goes far beyond programs. Their goal is to build a kind, generous work environment. As a result, staff describes leadership as “a genuine face of warmth and kindness.” A highly developed and well understood Strategic Plan – CREW – embeds and supports wellness. Everyone understands how their work contributes to the 90 per cent graduation rate goal. Programs have a synergizing focus (doing it together; responding with unconditional support to a need; studentbased decision making). The board demonstrated that its programs are not just “one-time events” but help make concrete progress to ensuring sustained success. The award was of¿cially presented to the board during a ceremony on Nov. 14, in Brockville. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

Geoheritage Park receives rescue rocks By NEIL CARLETON

Photo courtesy Neil Carleton

Marten Doornekamp, Cavanagh Construction, supervised as the sandstone blocks were lowered in place on Nov. 2 at Metcalfe Geoheritage Park in Almonte. treatment plant at the west end of town. Outcrops of this bedrock, known geologically as the Nepean Formation, are exposed along both sides, and within the median, of the Queensway in Kanata where construction continues for the widening of the highway. The unique characteristics of the outcrop immediately east of Terry Fox Drive led to a provincial designation in 1970 as an Area of Natural and Scienti¿c Interest (ANSI). When work started on the Queensway in the summer

of 2008, it was identi¿ed that the outcrops within the median at the Terry Fox ANSI site would be destroyed when the two new highway lanes were added. A georescue operation was deemed feasible, and approval was granted to remove up to 10 large blocks by jackhammer and pry bars, rather than blasting the rock. Carleton University, Ottawa University, the Perth Museum, the Eganville Museum, and the Town of Mississippi Mills each requested one or two blocks for display.

As the truck made its way through Almonte on that day, drivers and pedestrians likely thought the load was landscape rocks destined for a nearby construction site. In the morning, two large blocks had been delivered to the Perth R0011687559_1018

EMC Lifestyle - How many people does it take to deliver two and a half tons of sandstone to Canada’s ¿rst municipal geoheritage park? The crane operator made it look easy when he set down two large specimens recently at Metcalfe Geoheritage Park in Almonte. Before their arrival on Friday, Nov. 2, it was a team effort to identify signi¿cant sections of a median outcrop on Highway 417 in Kanata, move them away from the construction zone, then load, transport, and deliver the specimens to Almonte. This was a remarkable georescue operation spearheaded by Dr. Al Donaldson, Professor Emeritus, Carleton University, and founder of Friends of Canadian Geoheritage. The other key players who contributed to the success of this unique project were Ewa Bednarczuk, Ontario Ministry of the Environment; Marten Doornekamp, Cavanagh Construction; Jason Duff, Duff Boom Truck Service; Chad Kean, McIntosh Perry Consulting; Phil Kor, Ontario Parks; and Stan Skeggs, McIntosh Perry Consulting. In Almonte, a large quantity of white-to-tan sandstone was excavated for the construction of the new sewage

Visiting Metcalfe Geoheritage Park to read the rocks will take you on a journey far back in time to towering mountains, colliding and splitting continents, ocean depths, and a landscape locked in ice.

During the past year, the park property by the new Brian J. Gallagher Generating Station in Almonte has been under construction with sewer work. This includes the display site of the geological specimens. The large rocks were temporarily moved aside, and plans are underway for their relocation farther west from within the semi-circle roadway. This initiative will be part of the development plan for the overall park property by the Mississippi River Power Corp.

New chapter written in Brown-Richthofen saga Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

cally Canadian that we don’t honour our heroes and their exploits are usually left out of text books and school history lessons. I refer to Brown as a hero. That’s not because of his meeting with Richthofen on April 21, 1918. The fact he is credited with ¿ring the shot that killed the highest scoring ace of World War I (the Baron had 80 “kills” to his credit) didn’t make Brown a hero. In fact no one was unhappier with the outcome of the engagement than Roy Brown. To me he’s a hero because he was willing to put his life on the line Àying a rickety biplane into battle and he did so with great skill and courage. As a squadron leader he achieved the enviable record of never losing one of his own pilots, something that was virtually unheard of in the early days of aerial combat. Last week’s lunch was a prelude to a very special and poignant event held on the afternoon of Tuesday, Nov. 13. A 40 foot by 40 foot mural of the famous Brown-Richthofen aerial combat was of¿cially dedicated in downtown Carleton Place. The mural, by Ottawa artist Shawn McInnis, is

outstanding! I’m a proud founding member of the Roy Brown Society, the organization behind the mural and the new aviation museum featuring the stories of Brown and 14 other Great War pilots from Carleton Place. The ¿rst museum displays were unveiled in historic Moore House (which will be the ¿rst home of the artifacts) following last Tuesday’s well attended dedication ceremony. The fact 15 young men from such a small community were part of the Àedgling Allied air force in World War I is believed to be unprecedented, certainly in Canadian history at least. At the time Carleton Place had less than half its current population. At the head of that group was Brown, the reluctant “winner” of the 1918 dog¿ght with Baron von Richthofen. Brown died in 1944 at the tender age of 50, partly as a result of injuries sustained in a near fatal plane crash in England in July 1918. Now, 68 years after his passing, the mural and museum have thrust his name into the headlines again. As some of you will know, the mural has resulted in national and international publicity. The BrownRichthofen duel has once again come to life! I was privileged to know Brown’s youngest brother Howard who, incidentally, was the unof¿cial Carleton Place historian. Howard authored the

book ‘Founded Upon A Rock’, the history of Carleton Place. It was released in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of the town in 1969. Howard died in 1999 at the ripe old age of 96. The closest relative in attendance at the lunch and mural dedication last week was Howard’s daughter Carol Nicholson, Roy’s niece. Carol and her husband John live in Oakville but still own and regularly visit the family cottage ‘Orkney’ at Lake Park on Mississippi Lake. Their daughter Heather Harpell of Ottawa also attended the luncheon. At the mural dedication she was joined by her husband Eric and their baby son Trevor. The other Brown relative in attendance at both special events was Mary Baxter, along with her husband Don of Ottawa. Mary’s grandfather Dr. Clarence Brown was Roy’s uncle. I have known the Nicholson’s for many years. It was wonderful to share some time with them again and to meet their daughter, her husband and child. I have to admit it was intriguing to meet Daniel von Richthofen, a distant relative of the Baron. Although he is very interested in his late ancestor’s exploits, he downplays the connection. Manfred of course was a young man when he died. He never married or had a family of his own. Despite the distant relation-

ship I was amazed to hear that Daniel’s late grandmother knew Manfred. They both attended family gatherings in Germany. Daniel was born in Frankfurt and immigrated to Canada at age 10. He’s now retired following a 35 year career with Transport Canada. He attended the events last week because of a chance meeting with Bill Flint from our committee at the Smiths Falls Flying Club in June. Also in attendance at the luncheon was Tim Boyd of Perth whose uncle was Richthofen’s 41st victim on April 13, 1917. The lunch was a thoroughly engaging event. For me it offered an incredible once-in-alifetime opportunity to meet and talk with so many people connected to this famous First World War story. You may have noticed I don’t refer to Manfred von Richthofen as “The Red Baron” very often? That’s because the nickname was not used during his lifetime. It was coined by an American pulp ¿ction writer in the 1930s. The nickname led to off the wall connections such as famed cartoonist Charles Schulz’s character Snoopy and his “clashes” with the Red Baron, along with two related, hit songs by a Florida band, the Royal Guardsman. Do you remember ‘Snoopy Versus the Red Baron’? The songs by the way were news to Roy Brown’s great-niece Heather Harpell who is too young to remember.

Over the years, as well as in media reports related to last week’s events, there has been criticism leveled that Carleton Place failed to honour Roy Brown properly in the past. His last surviving child Margaret Harmon, who died in September at age 90, told me her father spent the rest of his short life trying to avoid any connection to the fateful clash with the Baron. She once told me “he worked hard at avoiding publicity.” That aside, the recognition of Roy Brown’s exploits and the derring-do of so many other young men from Carleton Place during World War I deserve a proper place in local history. Much credit belongs to the town’s late Mayor Brian Costello, author of the 1979 book ‘A Nursery of the Air Force’, who ¿rst envisioned a museum and advocated for it all of his adult life. Brian was a founding member of the Roy Brown Society. Congratulations to Councillor Rob Probert, the president of the society, all of the other committee members as well as town council and municipal staff for all of their support. The mural and museum are ¿tting tributes to Roy Brown and the aerial pioneers from Carleton Place.

EMC Lifestyle - I had a rare honour last week when I joined 15 others for a very special lunch in Carleton Place. Our small group included descendants of the main players in arguably the most famous aerial combat in history. I’m a student of the world wars and when my wife and I and our infant son ¿rst arrived in Carleton Place more than 36 years ago I was keenly aware we were now living in the hometown of Arthur Roy Brown. Or more correctly Captain A. Roy Brown DSC! The historic plaque in Memorial Park, near the local Cenotaph, underlines the fact. His name isn’t nearly as familiar as it should be in his native land. When I mention the name Roy Brown to someone and they look quizzical, I quickly add that it was he who shot down German ace Baron Manfred von Richthofen during World War I. It is the rare person who has never heard of him. Richthofen remains world famous and he is most often called “The Red Baron.” Attending last week’s lunch were three members of the Brown family and a Canadian relative of von Richthofen who lives in the Kemptville area. To my knowledge the occasion marked the ¿rst time descendants of the two Àyers have ever met, let alone shared a meal and conversation! Brown’s accomplishments remain little known. How typi-

Claytones combine heart and harmony in original music By DAVID JOHNSTON

EMC Entertainment - When you listen to The Claytones, the ¿rst thing that stands out is harmony. But it’s not just the well-tuned voices that blend into a homogonous sound, it’s the character of the band. It’s not surprising that the three talented singers and musicians have combined to produce some of the most palatable and warm music of recent years. They are steeped in music, and though still in their formative stages as a band, each has a signi¿cant musical background. The Claytones is Kelly Prescott, Adam Puddington and Anders Drerup. Each member had already established a musical career by the time they started playing together as a band a couple of years ago. In fact, collectively they have released eight full-length recordings of original music under the names of Kelly Prescott, Prescott, Anders Drerup, The Van Meters and Adam Puddington. But those projects were put on the back burner last year when they found the magic of making music together. The Ottawa Valley trio has just released their ¿rst record to a welcoming audience of fans from coast to coast. Their harmonies are clear and melodic, backed by strong musicianship and solid songwriting. The result is a record that will stand the test of time.

Titled Lake In The Night, the songs are almost entirely written collectively by the band, which took its name from its home in Clayton, Ontario. “We found that we share similar musical tastes,” said Kelly Prescott. “It was just natural that we would write and record together.” Probably the most dif¿cult part of describing the band is to de¿ne their sound. As their promotional material indicates, the Claytones are “born in the heart of the Ottawa valley, masterfully spinning their melodic, vocal driven, Canadiana brand of country soaked roots music with old school sensibilities.” From the opening strains of Anders Drerup’s steel guitar, the album wanders easily through ballads and up-tempo tunes that bring country to the edge of rock and roll. All strong vocalists, the Claytones collectively exude layered harmony to compliment the wide range of instruments they play. From Kelly Prescott’s acoustic guitar to the accordion and bass played by her husband Adam Puddington, as well as Anders Drerup’s steel guitar, organ and piano, the music is blended to create pleasing, comfortable sounds. Backed by solid contributions from drummer Pat Steward and other members of the Prescott family including Kelly’s brother Kaylen as well as her mom and dad –Randall

The Claytones are Kelly Prescott, Anders Drerup and Adam Puddington. Individually they have been making music for years but only in the past year have they joined together to create their own brand of Canadian country folk roots music. They just released their first album titled “Lake in the Night”. and Tracey— the Claytones have found harmony not only in music but in each other as bandmates. “This is all we want to do,” said Adam. “As soon as we started playing together, we knew we would have to make a record. We took some time to ¿gure out what we’re doing and then we started recording.” The project came to life in the Prescott family studio last winter with the record ready for release in the summer. That

was followed by an extensive list of dates from one side of the country to the other which led to accolades from the music industry and media. The National Post listed them as one of the top ¿ve Canadian Acts to watch in 2012. The Claytones sound is truly the sum of its parts. “We all gave up individual projects to come together as The Claytones. It was a natural transition for all of us,” said Adam.

As full time musicians, the members are all committed to taking their music as far as they can. “You don’t really decide to be a musician,” reÀected Anders. “No matter what you have to go through, it is worth it in the end to play music.” The trio has been a part of the Canadian Paci¿c Holiday Train Tour, traveling across parts of the U.S. and Canada raising money, food and awareness for North American Food Banks. At the age of 19, Kelly was awarded a Gold Record for her work on the CP Holiday Train album. They will soon be embarking on another three week tour on the CP Holiday Train, travelling from Montreal to Moose Jaw with stops in New York State, Pennsylvania, Southern Ontario and North Dakota. In 2009 Anders was cast as the lead role of Gram Parsons in the critically acclaimed theatrical production “Grievous Angel the legend of Gram Parsons” alongside Kelly in the supporting role of Emmylou Harris. Their undeniable chemistry led them to the forming The Claytones. Kelly Prescott is the next generation of two musically renowned family lines, spanning three generations from Northern Ontario, Nova Scotia and the Ottawa Valley. That legacy has motivated her and offered her the unique opportunity to

record her family’s award winning studio. Her ¿rst record with brother Kaylen, “Lakeside Sessions” under the name of “Prescott”, garnered great reviews along with regular airplay on CBC Radio. She released her ¿rst solo project, “I Leave You Dreaming”, in 2011. Billed as a soulful collection that transitions effortlessly from beautiful ballads to high energy blues, the album was declared one of The Ottawa Citizen’s ten best indie albums in 2011. Adam Puddington was raised in Almonte, teaching himself guitar as a youth, drawing on inÀuences ranging from Ray Price, Buck Owens and Charlie Pride to CCR, Neil Young and Lucinda Williams. For 10 years he lived between Nova Scotia and Almonte, immersing himself in the musical traditions of the Ottawa Valley and the East Coast while working extensively with such artists as The Guthries and Matt Mays. Adam released solo roots recordings “For the Meantime” (2005) and “Back in Town” (2008), both of which earned rave reviews from international alt-country media as well as considerable airplay on radio in Canada and abroad. The future looks bright for the Claytones who will be seen on tour across the country in 2013. They are already taking bookings for summer festivals.

Craig continues to bring grittier Bond to the big screen MOVIE: Skyfall STARRING: Daniel Craig, Judy Dench, Ralph Fiennes, and Javier Bardem DIRECTOR: Sam Mendes RATING: PG EMC Entertainment This new era of Bond has been marked by a distinctly grittier, more dramatic feel. This is the realistic Bond or perhaps it’s more accurate to say the more believable Bond. Skyfall is no different as it pits spy against spy in a visceral and desperate ¿ght for survival. As James (Daniel Craig) struggles on top of a train with an enemy spy who’s stolen a hard drive, he’s accidentally shot by one of his own. He falls into a river and is presumed dead. It’s later you see he’s washed up somewhere in the tropics very much alive. He seems content to drink the rest of his life away until he sees the news. Terrorists have hacked into MI6, and then set off an explosion destroying the headquarters. With six agents dead James decides to return. Despite the shape he’s in M (Judy Dench) still puts James in the ¿eld. She needs him to track down the person who stole the

hard drive containing the identities of all their agents. The same person who blew up MI6. The same person who’s revealing those agents’ identities. Bond quickly gets onto the trail of Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem). He has the hard drive, and it soon becomes clear this is about more than exposing secret agents. Silva was a former double O who feels M betrayed him. Silva has set into motion an elaborate plan of revenge, and only James has a hope of stopping him. It’s been 50 years and James Bond is still the man. Skyfall is outstanding. It’s fast paced, it’s dramatic, and above all it’s intelligent. It’s a great spy Àick, and what makes it great is how realistic it seems. In its way Skyfall is no less outrageous than most Bond ¿lms, and yet it has an air of believability. It seems plausible. It seems like it

My Take MARK HASKINS

could happen. There’s no laser watches or exploding pens. It’s just gritty, brutal spy work, and it’s awesome. Daniel Craig is outstanding. His Bond is the assassin who kills for Queen and country. Craig still has that suave cool demeanor that makes James Bond, James Bond, but there’s always this underlying element of danger about him. It’s brilliant. I love Judy Dench. She has rede¿ned the character of M, and I think no one will ever do it quite the way she has. As Gareth Mallory the politician overseeing MI6, Ralph Fiennes is fantastic. You aren’t exactly sure

Tell Someone

where Mallory stands in the beginning. Fiennes plays it very close to the cuff until the shooting starts. Javier Bardem is a great Bond villain. Raoul Silva is creepy and sadistic and absolutely out of his mind. Bardem has created a mod-

ern day evil genius that’s a match for Bond in every way. I love James Bond, I love Daniel Craig as James Bond, and I loved Skyfall. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Make each battery count Ontarians hoarding and throwing away single-use batteries EMC News - Ontarians are avid recyclers, but according to new research ¿ndings from Stewardship Ontario, proper disposal of batteries isn’t top of mind for many households. In fact, more than a third of Ontarians (35 per cent) say they typically dispose of batteries by throwing them in the garbage or including them in their blue box, where batteries aren’t accepted. And even those who normally do the right thing occasionally toss out a battery, with 33 per cent admitting they’ve thrown out a battery in the garbage in the past year. “It could be that you are hanging on to your batteries because you don’t know what to do with them, or simply putting them in the garbage with regular household waste because you don’t think only one battery matters,” said Paul Gerard, spokesman for Stewardship Ontario, the private not-for-pro¿t company that runs the Orange Drop program. “We want to change bad habits, encourage Ontarians to make battery recycling a positive habit and use our convenient collection network.

Some batteries contain materials that are harmful to our environment if disposed of incorrectly, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure that doesn’t happen.” What’s stopping us? Nearly half (47 per cent) of those who throw batteries in the household trash say they do not know where to bring them, while 39 per cent were unaware batteries should not be thrown out. Interestingly, 23 per cent say they don’t use enough batteries for proper disposal to matter. Based on research, Stewardship Ontario has segmented the population in regard to their battery disposal habits: • The Unaware group is more likely to be under the age of 34. They buy few batteries and are essentially unaware of the proper recycling procedures. This segment is the most likely to throw their batteries into the regular garbage. • Members of Only If It’s Easy (19 per cent of Ontarians) use an above-average number of batteries, and while they are generally aware of the proper procedures for disposal they do

not always follow through due to a perceived lack of convenience. • Where, Why and How Ontarians (15 per cent of the population) support household recycling but are unaware of the proper procedures for disposal of used batteries. Of those who throw their batteries into the regular trash, nearly all (95 per cent) said they would be somewhat likely to change their ways if it was easier for them to recycle. Are you a hoarder? It’s clear that junk drawers across the province are also seeing their fair share of used batteries. The survey reveals that the average household has 15 used batteries that are earmarked for recycling but haven’t made it past the front door yet. Ontarians who correctly take their batteries for disposal are three times as likely to save up a number of batteries and dispose of them all at once, rather than dispose of their batteries as they are replaced. Other survey highlights Nearly half (46 per cent) of respondents said that there should be ¿nes im-

posed for not recycling, or that it should depend on circumstances, such as the type of material, the amount and the frequency of offenses. Households in Ontario on average have 12.6 products or appliances that need batteries. Given that there are 4.8 million households in Ontario, that’s more than 60 million batteries that could be recycled. “It’s clear that batteries are powering all aspects of our lives,” said Gerard. “Ontarians can help turn a negative into a positive by ensuring they are recycling each of their single-use batteries.” Battery myths busted Myth: Someone sorts out batteries and other potentially harmful wastes from my garbage. Fact: Garbage is not sorted - whatever is thrown out goes directly to land¿lls. The correct method is to collect and recycle primary batteries by dropping them off at a collection site. Myth: Once a battery dies, it has no other use. Fact: Used batteries still have life. Properly recycled batteries have valuable resources that can be

About the research This survey was conducted by the Environics Research Group. The results are based on an online survey conducted with 1,000 adult Ontarians between Aug. 1 and 7. Because the sample is based on those who initially selfselected for participation in the online panel rather than a probability sample, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated.

National Anti-Bullying Charity BullyingCanada needs public funding EMC News - The nationally registered anti-bullying charitable organization BullyingCanada, is currently facing a dim future without assistance from the public. BullyingCanada currently provides the following national services: • 24/7 telephone support network to youth, parents, educators and the public at large to get information, support and resources on the topic of bullying – at no cost. • A scholarship program for youth who are entering post-secondary who are community leaders when it comes to addressing bullying in their schools.

• School and corporate workshops on bullying and how people can address it in your school and workplace. These workshops generally have a minimal fee unless the school/workplace is unable to raise the money. BullyingCanada works directly with schools and families from across Canada to ensure that support in a bullying situation is provided to any party involved, and often serves as a mediator between the individuals and the media, government, or other third parties. “This isn’t about putting money in our wallets, it’s about getting the funds we need to

save and change the lives of Canada’s youth not only for today but for tomorrow as well,” said Katie Neu, co-executive director and co-founder of BullyingCanada. “Without the ¿nancial support of citizens across Canada we simply will not be able to keep up operations; bills are coming in with no way to pay them. We need the public’s help” said Rob Frenette, co-executive director and co-founder of BullyingCanada. BullyingCanada is currently in its second year of operation as a charity but has been a national organization since its creation by Frenette and Neu in

2006. Last year, the nationally registered charity was able to collect $40,325 in donations. Currently the organization does not have enough of a cash-Àow in order to operate at full capacity for the month of November. BullyingCanada receives no government or United Way funding and only operates on public and corporate donations. For the ¿rst ¿ve years BullyingCanada was entirely volunteer-driven. Just since August of 2012, both executive directors were advised that due to the number of hours that they put in to the organization that they should begin taking a

salary. They currently work at minimum wage, and are the organizations ¿rst paid employees. BullyingCanada provides a very important role in communities across Canada by working directly with parents, youth and schools in ensuring that a bullying situation is addressed quickly by providing that “middle person” contact between the family and school of¿cials. The charity’s 24/7 support line receives nearly 10,000 calls monthly; via web 5,000 youth reach out to the charity for online support monthly. The organization will have to evaluate its current opera-

tions schedule and long-term goals if an inÀux of donations are not received soon. Donors who send a donation in any amount will be mailed a charitable tax receipt, allowing the individual or business to receive a tax credit. For more information on this process please visit www.BullyingCanada.ca/org. Donations can be made online at: www.bullyingcanada. ca, by telephone by calling toll-free: 877-947-3674 or donations can be sent by mail to either the New Brunswick or Ontario of¿ce. (Addresses can be found at: www.BullyingCanada.ca/donate).

Annual audit report confirms UCDSB is well-managed is an unquali¿ed or “clean” audit report, con¿rming once again that the Upper Canada District School Board is well managed, ¿scally responsible and fully compliant with Ministry of Education requirements,” outlined Trustee David McDonald, Audit Committee Chair. Members of the Audit

Committee are Trustees David McDonald, John McAllister, and Anne McCrae. External members are Barrie Curtis and Linda Harrison. The auditors (KPMG) complete an in-depth review of the Board Financial Statements (that includes all revenue and expenses), meet with the Audit Committee, review the Statements in de-

tail with the Committee, provide a written opinion on the Board’s Financial Statements, and an Audit ¿ndings report. This detailed examination of the Board’s Financial Statements is an important aspect of ensuring transparency and accountability to the public. A key responsibility of the auditors is to ensure that the

Board is compliant with Ministry of Education ¿nancial requirements. The auditors also bring to the attention of the Committee any issues, controls weaknesses, and misstatements that are not corrected. At the Board’s next meet-

ing on Nov. 28, Trustee David McDonald will present the annual report from the Audit Committee, as mandated by the Ministry of Education. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board. R0011752365_1122

Consequently, the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund/ Angel Tree Program aspires to help people in need take pleasure in the holidays and

overlook, at least temporarily, their dif¿cult situation. Devoted residents Wayne and Lorna Drummond have organized the initiative for approximately six years. The husband and wife team, high school sweethearts, were named Carleton Place’s Citizens of the Year in 2010. Baskets on average contain items for breakfast on Christmas morning (pancake mix, syrup, bread, peanut butter, milk, and the list goes on), as well as all the trimmings for a full holiday dinner: turkey,

carrots, potatoes, stufÂżng, cranberry sauce, dessert, and much more. The Angel Tree Program offers gifts for residents up to 16 years of age, said Wayne.

EMC News – Carleton Place residents living on Patterson Crescent and working to address public safety issues are hopeful the implementation of a Community Safety Zone (CSZ) on their street will address ongoing trafÂżc concerns. Last Tuesday (Nov. 13), a recommendation was carried by council, which was brought forward from the Nov. 6 physical environment committee meeting, to authorize town staff to proceed with the implementation of a CSZ on Patterson Crescent. CSZs are sections of roadway where public safety is of special concern. They may include streets near schools, day-care centres, playgrounds, parks, hospitals, senior citizen residences, and may also be used for collision prone areas within a community. The town’s director of public works, Dave Young explained Ă€ashing amber lights would deÂżne the limits of the CSZ. Town staff and the local detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will develop a plan for education and promotion for this initiative. “There are still details that need to be worked out, such as duration,â€? said Young. When she is driving to county council meetings, Mayor Wendy LeBlanc noted the lights are always Ă€ashing at the CSZ near The Stewart School in Perth, but they are off when she is headed home. Implementation of the CSZ is expected as soon as possible – late fall or early winter, said Young. The effectiveness of the initiative will be measured and the results communicated back to council. Residents troubled Drivers in the Patterson

Crescent area, which includes Arklan Community Public School, are not observing the 40 kilometres per hour speed limit. Nor are they complying entirely with all of the stop signs (Âżve). Homeowners’ concerns escalated after a car struck a six-year-old boy returning home from school recently. They requested the installation of speed humps. A hump is a gradual raised area in the pavement surface. At the Oct. 2 physical environment committee meeting, Coun. Gary Strike moved a motion that four speed humps be installed this season on Patterson Crescent and Begley Street as a pilot project or test case. It was defeated. “People are in a hurry to drop their kids off or racing back and forth to the arena,â€? he stated. “Vehicles should not be allowed to go over 40 km/h.â€? Strike said Walmart, Steve’s Independent Grocer and the Colonnade stores use speed humps (in their parking lots) because they work. “Let’s install them in this area as a pilot project,â€? he continued. “We will save money on policing. The taxpayers in this area are not going to go away. Let’s give the residents what they want. Let’s solve the problem. This has been going on for 18 months.â€? The motion was defeated. On the other hand, a group was established to review trafÂżc concerns. It was comprised of two (Patterson) resident representatives, Carleton Place OPP; Fire Chief and director of protective services Les Reynolds, trafÂżc consultant Henry Zykowski of Bytown Engineering, and Young. Two meetings were held (Oct. 18 and 31), which resulted in the Nov. 13 recommendation. R0011715843_1101

Failure at Mississippi River Power Corp was an electrical issue and over the next several weeks they conducted a number of tests on the electrical equipment and meters. “After performing every test we could think of we eliminated electrical and ¿gured it might be mechanically,” said Newton. The investigation then switched to looking at the turbines, which according to Newton is a fairly big deal. The turbines are actually 15 feet underwater. On June 13 they brought in a crane, which allowed them to dismantle the turbine enclosure to access the turbine directly. “We did that and had the turbine inspected and everything looked good,” said Newton.

“With the pressure of the water it folded the steel pipe up blocking the Àow of water and creating a vacuum inside the rest of the pipe,” said Newton. “That caused the rest of the pipe to fold within itself.” Approximately 100 feet of the penstock was damaged and during the inspection a startling discovery was made. “It was determined that the other one was in a similar pre-failure state,” explained Newton. “We shut it down as a precaution until that section could be brought up to the standard of the way it was designed.” Newton noted that he is unable to divulge the suspected cause. All of the details of the case are still under investigation.

At the opening of the plant it was revealed it was set to make approximately $2 million in revenue annually. The town owns 100 per cent of the shares and all of the pro¿ts from the company go directly to the town. Town of Mississippi Mills mayor John Levi thinks it is an unfortunate situation but notes there’s always a possibility in failure in anything manmade.

“We are well on our way to solving it and we feel (we) are fully insured,” said Levi. “We hope to be back up and running in the very near future.” Newton explained that in April they discovered a sudden drop in production in one unit. “The generator was running at full capacity and suddenly within a second it went to half capacity,” said Newton. Initially, they suspected it

EMC News – The Mississippi River Power Corp is completely shut down. One of the penstock pipes has sustained damaged and the second was shut off as a precautionary measure. Scott Newton, general manager at Mississippi River Power Corp, says he is hopeful that repairs will commence shortly. He notes there has been no affect on the town’s power supply. At this time he has no idea the cost of the repairs but admits the repairs will have a signi¿cant price tag. He is con¿dent it will be entirely covered by insurance. “It’s very frustrating for us but it is a process we have to go through,” said Newton. “We are doing all we can to assist the insurance company to speed up the process. It is quite unexpected and extremely disappointing to have this happen. We invested a decade into planning, constructing and a lot of hard work.” The plant opened in April 2010 and cost $19 million to build. It has a generating capacity of 4.6 megawatts nearly doubling the capacity of the previous station. The Power Corp has an agreement with Ontario Power Authority and is paid for whatever they produce. There is no minimum or maximum. Newton says they have accrued an estimated loss of revenue of $300,000 since the shut down in June. This loss of revenues is also part of the insurance claim and he expects they will get the entire claim

The next possible issue was to look at the penstock pipe, which is 10 feet in diameter and carries the water from the intake facility to the generator. This was done on June 15. “That is when we found the cause of the problem. The number two penstock pipe was signi¿cantly damaged,” said Newton. “At that point we informed our insurance companies and various parties involved in construction of it just over two years ago.” Unfortunately, the warranty of the pipes is only covered for one year. Since then until present an investigation and negotiations have been ongoing. Damage A section of penstock number two had a piece of pipe that came apart.

Dedication of Roy Brown mural recalls Canada’s great ying ace By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Roy Brown has come home. Two days after Remembrance Day, one of Canada’s, and Carleton Place’s war heroes from “the war to end all wars,â€? Captain A. Roy Brown (1893-1944) was immortalized at a ceremony ofÂżcially dedicating a mural to his memory, and the famous air battle he fought that forever grounded the dreaded Red Baron. Coun. Rob Probert told those assembled in the parking lot beside the joint constituency ofÂżces of MPP Randy Hillier and MP Scott Reid in Carleton Place that, as he beheld the mural, he knew, “this was a work of consequence and not just a piece of art dressing up a piece of the main street.â€? Alluding to suitably stirring lines from William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, Probert set the scene for the day that would end the Red Baron’s life, and make Brown’s name in Canadian military history – April 21, 1918, shortly after 10 a.m. “They say that all the world is a stage and this was the scene,â€? Probert said, recalling that, as eight Allied planes were on a reconnaissance mission, they were met by 20 German aircraft and a battle that ensued. Canadian pilot Wop Mae was being chased down by a red German plane, later identiÂżed as the Red Baron’s craft. “He did not know it was the Red Baron until afterwards,â€? said Probert. Mae’s machine guns had seized up and Brown had Ă€own in to help his friend. The Red Baron was hit, but he was able to make a rough landing and, still alive, cut the fuel line, which prevented the plane

Coun. Rob Probert spoke during the ceremony ofďŹ cially dedicating the Roy Brown mural on Nov. 13. from exploding. Curiosity seekers made off with sections of the plane as souvenirs, so “we are left to wonder who shot down the Red Baron. That question has come up.â€? The Red Baron, in the course of the battle had, uncharacteristically, buzzed the Allied lines, and Australian gunners on the ground later claimed that it was their guns, not Brown’s, that downed the Baron. But Probert pointed to a medical exam carried out on the Red Baron afterwards, by two British and two Australian doctors. “They said that the Red Baron was shot down in the air,â€? said Probert. “That’s our story and we’re sticking to it‌ That’s where history met Carleton Place.â€?

While the Red Baron never Ă€ew again, neither did Brown. He got sick soon afterwards and returned home to Canada where he became a dairy farmer near Stouffville. The event attracted a great many people, but also ancestors of those who had fought on opposite sides during the war. In one part of the crowd was Daniel Von Richthofen, from Kemptville, a descendant of Brown’s worthy adversary, and Âżnal aerial victory in the war, Baron Manfred von Richthofen. In another part of the crowd, hailing from Smiths Falls, was Tim Void, a professional biplane operator, whose great granduncle was one of the allied airmen shot down by the so-called Red Baron. “If we do see some Âżsticuffs break out in the crowd, get

over it,� joked Probert. Brown earned his wings by training with the Wright Brothers, in Ohio. The two men had invented motorized Àight and launched the world’s ¿rst airplane at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on Dec. 3, 1903. Brown graduated #361 from the Wright Àight school in Dayton, Ohio before shipping off to the bloody skies over Europe. But he was not to be the only Àying ace to come out of Carleton Place. During the war, the town would produce seven aces in all. The life of an airman Àying over the trenches of the western front during the First World War was a deadly experience. Life expectancy was measured in days, or even hours. Once, when he was shot down, Brown

was declared dead. A friend, upon hearing of Brown’s demise, came to pay his last respects before Brown’s body was shipped home. Leaning in, however, he noticed that there was a still fresh, and bleeding, wound on Brown’s face. A dead body would not still be bleeding. “This can’t be, he’s supposed to be dead,â€? Probert said. Brown’s friend alerted the medical authorities and he was, to quote Charles Dickens, “recalled to life.â€? “It seems like (he acted like) a man that is a Canadian hero,â€? said Probert. Just as Sherlock Holmes needed a worthy nemesis in Dr. Moriarity, so too did Brown, an unassuming farm boy from eastern Ontario, need his dashing, gentriÂżed German foil, von Richthofen, an airborne knight whom MP Scott Reid was enraptured with as a child. “As a boy I was fascinated by the story of the Red Baron because he was the superlative ace,â€? said Reid, holding aloft several books on the Red Baron and Brown from his personal library. “He was the incarnation of the knights of the air.â€? As a child, his mother returned home one day with a book for her son – an autobiography of the Red Baron. Turns out that, like Brown, the Red Baron was also shot down – three times in fact. After his second Icarus-like return to earth in 1917, as he lay recovering in hospital, an Imperial German stenographer was dispatched to his bedside to bang out the air hero’s life story. A book was later rushed into print, and “it was widely circulated throughout Germany to boost morale.â€? In 1933, when the Nazis

came to power, the book was re-released, under the guise of repainting history to show the Red Baron, and other German war heroes as “proto-Nazis.â€? “Had Baron von Richthofen lived, he would have despised the Nazis,â€? said Reid. In a later edition of the book Reid read, there was an afterword allegedly written by Brown, about going to see the Red Baron’s Âżnal resting place, and his conĂ€icted feelings about being there. Reid had his doubts about whether Brown had actually made the visit, but a letter obtained by the National Post, from Brown to his family back in Canada, described his visit to the site. “They went out to kill each other,â€? said Reid. “They did not want to kill each other. They were not just killers.â€? Probert had also read the same letter and noted how sad Brown seemed as he beheld the man who just a short time before had been his foe. “If he had been my greatest friend, I could not have been more sorrowful,â€? said Probert, quoting Brown’s words, recalling the end of an age of chivalry in warfare. Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc was also fondly remembering another member of the town’s history, her predecessor in the mayor’s chair, Brian Costello, an avid historian, who wrote a book about Brown in 1979 in which he wrote that “I hope, some day, in Carleton Place, that we will have an aviation museum.â€? Pointing across the river to the Moore House, LeBlanc proudly noted that Carleton Place now has “the beginnings of an aviation museum,â€? with some of the artifacts on display.

First ever night parade will hit the streets on Dec. 9 By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – The man in red is coming to Almonte to ride through the streets, this year at night. On Dec. 9, the ¿rst ever night parade will take place starting at 5 p.m. and Tiffany MacLaren community economic and cultural coordinator for the Town of Mississippi Mills says the community is very excited for the night parade. “We want it to be a community celebration of the season,” said MacLaren. “Lot’s of groups are coming forward and we encourage businesses and community groups to come out. We want it to be a full rep-

resentation of what the area has to offer. Plus everything looks nice when you add twinkly lights!” The parade will leave the Community Centre on Bridge St. at 5 p.m., turns left onto Mills St. and heads down the hill, turns right onto Main St., turns right onto Queen and ends back at Community Centre. During the parade the 2nd Almonte Cubs, Scouts and Venturers will be collecting food along the route in support of the Lion’s Christmas Food Basket campaign. Immediately after the parade there will be skating at the Community Centre, hot dogs and hot chocolate by the Lion’s

Club and a visit from Santa Claus. The theme for this year’s parade is ‘Parade of Lights’ and there will be two awards handed out: the Civitan award for the best overall use of theme and lights and the Lion’s award for best overall entry. New format Safety is key for organizers and being seen is one of the most important things. “We are encouraging them to light their Àoat as much as possible,” said MacLaren. MacLaren hopes that groups and businesses that are participating in other nearby night parades will call and register to be in Almonte’s ¿rst night

parade. “We have been in touch with Carleton Place because their parade is so successful and they have been very supportive and are letting us hand out Àyers at their parade,” said MacLaren. She also gives a special thanks to Cathie McOrmond who has been incredibly supportive providing tips based on Carleton Place’s many years of hosting a successful night parade. McOrmond is with the Carleton Place BIA, the organizing body for that community’s Christmas parade. Thus far she has been very pleased with the number of

groups calling to register and they have all been positive about the new event timing. “There are many groups who have never before entered a Àoat who are excited to do so this year,” said MacLaren. “We’re expecting it to be Almonte longest parade yet, a true community celebration of the season.” The new Almonte downtown Christmas décor will also be on display and MacLaren believes it will be a good opportunity for everyone to see the new decorations. However, those who still want a piece of the old decorations can purchase a lim-

ited edition holiday ornament. These hand made ornaments are only $20 and will be put toward the purchase of new décor and the rejuvenation of the holiday spirit of the town. They are available for purchase at Smitten and Almonte Old Town Hall. The town will be very busy that weekend as the annual Light Up The Night event kicks off on Friday, Dec. 7 on Main Street in Almonte at 7 p.m., the Pakenham parade is on Dec. 8 at 1 p.m. starting at the Stewart Community Centre and the new Parade of Lights will take place on Dec. 9 at 5 p.m.

Almonte Cenotaph to be revitalized by town committee tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC News – One of the most historical areas in town may soon be getting a makeover. At the Nov. 5 Town of Mississippi Mills council meeting they approved a ¿ve-step action plan with regard to the cenotaph area, as proposed by the beauti¿cation committee. Fern Martin chair of the committee explained that there was a request to trim the large maple tree so the Àagpole could be seen and it started a discussion. Martin explained that there have been a lot of changes to the area around the cenotaph including the tracks being removed. “It was time for someone with design background to take a look and give us some good ideas. It’s time to put all possibilities together,” said Martin. “It’s an opportunity with all of the various factors to look at a signi¿cant area in town.” It was also decided that the layout of the area should be reconsidered for a number

of reasons including the fact trains no longer run through town. They also want to look at the Àagpole with the hope of moving it when the redesign is complete. The ¿ve-step plan includes: • Hire an arborist to prune the tree for health, to be paid out of the beauti¿cation 2012 budget. • Hire a landscape designer to provide a redesign of the entire cenotaph area; taking in account the Àagpole is blocked by the tree and the gardens are dif¿cult for the Almonte Horticultural society to maintain due to the shade of the tree. • Present the concept to the Royal Canadian Legion and council in order to obtain approval on any change to the area. • Obtain quotes for the landscaping of the area. • Determine with input from the Legion where the money will come from: the 2013 beauti¿cation budget, beauti¿cation fundraising proceeds (calendar) and potential additional fundraising

Correction EMC Editorial – The editorial appearing in Nov. 8 issue contained incorrect information. The soldiers from Petawawa are actually from 2 Service Battalion. The EMC apologizes for this error.

with the Legion. A member of the beauti¿cation committee also sits on the Almonte Horticultural Society. During discussions the garden in front of the cenotaph was brought up. “We always have trouble growing things under the tree. We almost need different Àowers but that would take away from the cenotaph,” said Martin. According to the report presented to council the park area originally had two trees and the Àagpole was centred between them. Currently, the Àagpole is directly behind the volunteer portion of the monument that was designed by R. Tait McKenzie. The cenotaph was built from Indiana limestone and the statue was cast in Philadelphia and was unveiled Sept. 11, 1923. Photo Courtesy of Archives Lanark/ TIFFANY LEPACK

The top picture shows the Almonte Cenotaph when it was officially unveiled in 1923. The Almonte Cenotaph is set to be updated after a proposal was approved at council on Nov. 5. Note the large maple tree to the right and the placement of the flagpole.

Golden Eagle, rare sighting for this area EMC Lifestyle – Nov. 8, I had a very interesting call from Leonard Lee, with a wonderful bird report. His sister, in Wabena, Saskatchewan, had an Hepatic Tanager at her feeder. It is the ¿rst documented sighting for Saskatchewan. It is a bird of the tropics, and one wonders if Hurricane Sandy blew the bird into Canada. It’s range is SW United States south through Central and South America. Do you have your feeders ¿lled and ready for

the winter ¿nches to come for meals? From Carleton Place, Mike Jaques called to report 40 Bohemian Waxwings in the trees along Morris Street. Just outside town two days later, by Mississippi Lake, Peggy Stewart had more than 30, plus a pair of Northern Cardinals at their feeders. While driving along Clayton Road, Mississippi Mills, Mary and Howard Robinson watched a Àock of 60 plus Snow Buntings Àitting over the ploughed

LYNDA C. BENNETT Strictly for the Birds

¿elds. Also in the Mills, Mrs. Bessie Exley enjoyed watching American Gold¿nches at her daughter’s feeders. On Nov. 7, in Carleton Place, Mike Jaques still had a Fox Sparrow in the garden. In town, he saw some Pine Grosbeaks feeding in the trees, and spotted a single Common Grackle. This Grackle should have left for the south by now. Cliff Bennett and I spotted a Grackle as we left Ashton

that afternoon. Moving up to Pakenham, Ray Holland saw 56 Bohemians, which then increased to 120. Feeding in berry trees in village A mixed Àock of immature and female Pine Grosbeaks fed in berry trees in the village. Georgina Doe and I visited Pakenham the next day, Nov. 9, and observed both species. We also heard a Redbellied Woodpecker calling in nearby woods. A

week later, Ray watched 30 Snow Buntings Ày over Pakenham. In Almonte, Barbara Maguire was very pleased to have a male Cardinal come to her feeder. Soaring over Union Hall, Nov. 14, David Moat noticed a Golden Eagle, not often seen in our local area. Please call Lynda: 613256-5013, or email: bennett@magma.ca, with bird reports.

OPINION

Canadian Gazette - Your Community Newspaper

EDITORIAL EMC Editorial - The potential end to a two-site hospital (Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital), the potential closure or cutback of services for a women’s shelter if funds don’t come through, the reduction or simple lack of increase in funding for necessary services are happening all around us. With everything in life, whether it be personal costs, or costs for businesses and organizations - costs continue to go up - they don’t come down. Look at the gas

Funding shortfalls across the board

prices (although that saying may not be true as they have dropped marginally recently). By naming organizations and using words like “cutbacks”, “funding”, “de¿cit”, really the true picture and faces of those impacted is not clearly demonstrated. The sick, those with emergencies, the elderly, those with chronic diseases - what will taking a hospital away from them mean? Yes there are hospitals in this area, but in an emergency situation where there is worry, stress,

panic and alarm - the additional moments in getting to emergency services can mean the world. A press conference held last week in Smiths Falls brought forward the issue of budgetary cuts being made which will allow the Perth and Smiths Falls hospital to continue until 2014-15, with no guarantee after that, that further cuts won’t be necessary. A union boss is predicting one of the hospital’s two sites will likely shut with continued cuts. We have already heard

Lanark County Interval House is suffering from a projected de¿cit of $60,000 - every year costs increase - however funding doesn’t follow suit. For Interval House, if closure or further cutbacks in services are necessary what will happen to the women and the children - those who are running away from abusive and dangerous situations. Where will they go? Or will they be able to go anywhere, knowing services aren’t there for them. Even a reduced capacity to serve would have far reaching

impacts, for all of those who would need their aid. For example, the 24/7 Crisis Line - it receives approximately 2,000 calls each year. What is so wrong with our system - ¿nancially, provincially - that organizations which are required cannot be sustained? Really, what kind of a statement does that make about the world we live in? It’s a statement that our priorities perhaps need to be shifted to focus on what really matters. Is it a case of not enough dollars to go around from

provincial and federal pots, so to speak? Or is it a matter simply of re-examining allocation of those all important dollars. In a world, where every cent counts, let’s make them count where they matter the most. And perhaps to look forward to the future - once important pieces of society are taken away the cost to bring them back, to rebuild from the bottom up is tremendous. The time involved, the effort required. Once they are gone, they are gone. Let’s not let that happen.

Maybe I am being a Grinch. But our of¿ce is getting in the Christmas spirit too early for me; carols are playing throughout the halls. Honestly, it might be too much for me. Over the weekend my husband and I looked over our Christmas shopping list and we are trying to ¿gure out our holiday travel schedule. What about the Grey Cup ¿rst? A real fall tradition…Go Argos. I also silently questioned why people had their decorations up before Remembrance Day; can we not honour our Veterans ¿rst? My neighbour has his house decked out with lights galore already, the Àyers, the commercials, the music...why so early? It all makes my skin crawl. Have I lost the Christmas spirit? To me Christmas has always been about hope, peace, joy, love and the birth of Jesus, not decorations, gifts and all the rest. I started to wonder if the true spirit was really alive in our community. Then I was reminded about a recent assignment that I had the privilege to cover - the launch of the 27th annual CAS/OPP Angel Tree Initiative. Trees in Carleton Place, Mississippi

TIFFANY LEPACK Tiffany’s Take

Mills and throughout Lanark County are decorated with 571 tags, each tag has a child’s name on it who is in need of a Christmas gift. It was inspiring to hear the conversations as the name tags were hung. People were saying they would need more tags because the community was sure to take the names quickly. Another person asked if they could recycle the names when they were done to ensure everyone who wanted to help could participate. My hope in the season was being restored. I know this time of year can be stressful for people as consumerism overtakes this season and just having a delicious Christmas meal can be tough to accomplish. The Mills Community Support Corporation and the Almonte Lions Club are once again running the Christmas Food Basket program for those in need. I am sure that this program will bring peace of mind to many local residents who otherwise would go without all the ¿xings. My co-worker and I both took home shoeboxes for

Operation Christmas Child, a program run by Samaritan’s Purse International. This year they ship off their 100 millionth shoebox to children in need. As I shopped for some of the suggested items: soap, pens, notebooks or socks, I wondered what some children might think of these gifts. Some might just throw them away. But when this child opens it I know they will be ¿lled with joy that someone took time to care about them. It’s not too late to pack a shoebox. National collection week runs until Nov. 25 visit: www.samaritanspurse.ca for more information. Even though Christmas seems to be coming earlier and earlier every year. I do love the season, I love what it means to so many people and I love that we are able to celebrate Christ’s birthday. For those who don’t celebrate for that reason we can still show our community hope, peace, joy and love by giving back to one of the many volunteer programs in our area.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Resident concerned over ability to have voice heard at council meeting DEAR EDITOR: Re: MacArthur Avenue/49 Laura Street I read with interest the letter to the editor from Mark Smith (Nov. 15 EMC Canadian/Gazette). I am the local resident who would not have been allowed to speak at last week’s planning and protection meeting, if Mr. Smith had not so graciously given up his turn. I naively was surprised that citizens who attend committee meetings are not all allowed to

have their say, strictly as a matter of course. (After all, you would think, I am a resident and a voter.) I do understand that listening to all concerned citizens state their views and opinions can make the evening extremely long and tedious for council. Again, up to now, I naively thought that listening to citizens was what council agrees to do when they run for ofÂżce. It is unfortunate that we live in a town where a Carleton

Place citizen can be refused the opportunity of expressing their concerns, just because there are so many other concerned residents that have to be heard. (Doesn’t this by itself send a message that maybe this development is wrong the way it is and needs to be rethought?) It’s also peculiar. The tax paying residents’ concerns relate to the residences that they are paying taxes on, yet the majority of council, in my opinion, is ¿ne with approving the

FUND From page A/CP1

Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund/Angel Tree Program went live on Nov. 1 and remains open until Dec. 8 – a total of 17 days. “We cover the K7C postal code and some K0A,� explained Wayne. In 2011 more than 325 baskets were handed out to 1,000 people, including 450 children. “Of course, this is why we are in it,� said Wayne. “For the kids.� At present, this year’s num-

bers stand at 82 boys, 91 girls and 241 adults. “We are seeing more adults this year, but this is because a number of last year’s kids are now 17 years old,� said Wayne. “Without my suppliers, which are local stores, and our many volunteers that help get things ready for our distribution day, we would not be able to assist families to a happy Christmas – like we all do,� he continued. Christmas baskets and An-

gel Tree items are handed out on Dec. 20. If you require assistance, call 613-257-4335 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday to Saturday. All requests will be kept strictly conÂżdential. If your family can support the Christmas Basket Fund/ Angel Tree Program Âżnancially, send your donation to: The Christmas Basket Fund, 85 William St. Carleton Place, Ontario K7C 1X9. Receipts for donations of $10 or more will be issued.

plans very quickly. It doesn’t surprise me then that council doesn’t seem to have heard our message. We don’t want to stop this development, we just want it changed to better suit our neighbourhood. They have

not made any changes even though they tell us they have. Accommodating water run-off properly from the proposed large sized building and parking lot, so adjoining properties are not Àooded is not a conces-

sion, it is an expectation. Once again, thank you Mr. Smith. You may very well have been the only one listening. Deb Rowan Carleton Place

The 27th CAS/OPP Angel Tree Initiative was launched Nov. 8. Trees are now set up in various locations throughout Lanark County. There you can pick up a tag, each tag represents a child – the goal – one gift for each child. There are 571 so far this season. Gifts will be picked up Dec. 13. Top: Mississippi Mills mayor John Levi and chief administration officer Diane Smithson with Lanark OPP officer Paige Whiting decorate the Angel Tree at the town hall.

space and allow the van to carry eight passengers, instead of six.” The Fairview Manor van takes residents out two or three times a week. Destinations include stores, the library, pharmacy, local sugar bush, ice cream parlour and coffee shops. The van is also used for seasonal outings, such as a drive to see the autumn leaves or Christmas lights. Mrs. Dodd, who has enjoyed many trips in the Fairview Manor van, values it because it means she

doesn’t have to bother her grandchildren to get things for her. Because of the van “I can do it myself,” she says. The Foundation is appealing to the community to help raise $70,000 for a new van for Fairview manor residents. “Please consider a donation this holiday season to give our seniors in the Manor the gift of mobility,” said Mr. Huddleston. The Foundation is also raising funds for muchneeded medical equipment, including vital signs monitors, bedside monitors, IV pumps, medication carts, hospital beds and a shower chair for the Rosamond Unit. To donate to the Fairview Manor van fundraising campaign, or to help purchase medical equipment for the Almonte General Hospital, please call the Foundation of¿ce at 613-256-2514, ext. 2297 or send an email to Foundation Executive Director Gerry Huddleston at ghuddleston@agh-fvm.com.

Many Fairview Manor residents rely on their specially equipped van to go shopping, visit the library or go out for coffee or ice cream. “I feel wonderful getting out,” says Fairview Manor resident Pearl Dodd. “I always look forward to going in the van to the pharmacy. I don’t want to have to beg someone to get things for me. The van gives me independence.” However, the van currently used by the Manor is 18 years old and is becoming increasingly costly to maintain. As well, while the van can accommodate two wheelchairs, it has limited space for walkers used by residents. “That’s why we are raising funds this fall to purchase a new van,” said Almonte General Hospital/ Fairview Manor Foundation Executive Director Gerry Huddleston. “A new van will be able to hold more wheelchairs and will also have a wheelchair lift installed on the side of the vehicle instead of the rear, which will save

EMC News – The Salvation Army kettle campaign in Almonte and Carleton Place was launched Friday afternoon, Nov. 16. “Volunteers will be standing by the famous red kettles and ringing those bells until 12 p.m. on Dec. 24,� explained Melba Jarvis, the Almonte/Carleton Place Salvation Army kettle campaign coordinator. During the kick off in Carleton Place, held at Steve’s Independent Grocer, Frank LeBlanc, the husband of Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, was pleased to make the initial contribution to the annual appeal. “The Salvation Army is near

and dear to the hearts of many people,â€? said the mayor. “It was my father’s favourite charity.â€? This is Jarvis’ Âżfth year as local coordinator. She is hoping residents will once again dig deep to raise as much money as possible. Campaign funds help support people in poverty who turn to the Salvation Army for food and toys at Christmas, utility and homeless assistance, senior/child care, drug abuse treatment and many other social service needs. “My Âżrst year (as coordinator), $42,000 was raised in Almonte and Carleton Place and then it was $46,000, $60,000 and $62,000,â€? said Jarvis. She is heartened to see so

many people – even younger folks – donating $5, $10 or $20. Friendly competition A municipal challenge began a few years ago, said Jarvis. It was between Perth and Smiths Falls at Âżrst. However, Carleton Place and Merrickville have now joined the competition, and the coordinator is hoping Mississippi Mills will soon follow. “Council members from each town man a kettle for a day and whoever raises the most money wins,â€? explained Jarvis. “We give out a trophy,â€? said Major Faith Cameron of the Salvation Army.

Carleton Place council members will be at Steve’s Independent Grocer on Dec. 8. “We are pumped,� said Wendy. “Last year we lost by $9.96.� She noted Smiths Falls has an unfair advantage, as the mayor (Dennis Staples) always brings along his guitar. More kettle campaign volunteers are needed for Almonte and Carleton Place. Individuals interested in helping, please call 613-253-1798. “Shifts are in general three hours, but if someone can give me two (hours), I’ll take it,� said Jarvis with a smile. The Salvation Army provides assistance to those in need 365 days a year.

Jubilee Park – Gone in 60 seconds By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Queen Elizabeth II marked 60 years on the throne this year. Although it took only 60 seconds for Carleton Place council to annul its earlier decision to celebrate the milestone by naming the park at the east side of Town Hall Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Park (Jubilee Park for short). “In one minute we Ă€ipped from Jubilee Park to Town Hall Square,â€? said Coun. Louis Antonakos. The unanticipated change came to pass last Tuesday

(Nov. 13) – after council heard from former deputy mayor, Orm Giles. He was a member of council back in the year 2000, which is when Town Hall Square became an item. Giles served under the leadership of former mayor Brian Costello, who passed away in December 2010. “If Brian Costello was here, he’d be standing beside me,� he said. The former politician was not happy council approved the designation Jubilee Park at its Oct. 23 policy review committee meeting. “I am upset – a lot of people

are,� he said. “Calling it Jubilee Park is going the wrong way. Leave it as it is – Town Hall Square.� He added there was no public debate. Bylaw Deputy Mayor Ed Sonnenburg moved to amend bylaw 47-2012, which was seconded by Coun. Jerry Flynn, to name the park Town Hall Square. “Are we not being a little hasty?� asked Antonakos. “I am still not sure what the spirit and intent was back in 2000.� Although he was not opposed to naming the park Town Hall Square, Antonakos

didn’t want the matter to come back again next week. “I am perfectly willing to accept what Orm has told us as the regional history of what council considered at the time,â€? said Coun. Rob Probert. “There was never a bylaw in 2000,â€? said Flynn. “It was obviously an oversight. We are just correcting that.â€? Without much further discussion, the bylaw was read a Âżrst second and third time and Âżnally passed. A ceremonial tree planting took place at the park on Saturday, Nov. 10.

Fundraiser lunch in support of Christmas Baskets on Dec. 4 EMC Events – The holiday season is about food, fellowship and most importantly helping each other. On Tuesday, Dec. 4 from noon to 1 p.m. you can have a taste of it all at the monthly FuLL DECK (the Fundraising Lunch Ladies with Delightful Entertainment, Cooking and Knowledge) Community Fundraising Lunch in support of the Almonte Lion’s Club Christmas Basket Program. For only $5 you will have a delicious home made lunch at 30 Bennett St., in the Conference Room but you must register by Wednesday, Nov. 28 at noon by e-mailing fulldecklunchladies@gmail.com in order to ensure there is

enough food for everyone. The FuLL DECK team is Cynthia Ferrier and Leigh Gibson and started with the idea of hosting two lunches for charities close to their hearts - the Lanark Animal Welfare Society and the Live Poets Society of Lanark County. Afterwards, they received so much feedback they decided to continue on by hosting a monthly lunch. Gibson encourages everyone to come out to the lunch and support the community. “We feel it’s important to support the charitable endeavours in our own communities. If others are interested in doing the same, and having an hour of fun in the process, then they should sign-up to attend,� Gibson told the EMC/

Gazette in an e-mail. Jeff Mills, coordinator community development at Mills Community Support, who assists with the annual basket program thinks the community lunches are incredible. “It’s wonderful they are helping beyond their ofÂżce,â€? said Mills. The Almonte Lion’s Club runs the annual Christmas basket program; they provide food hampers to assist families in the community who may not otherwise be able to afford food during the holiday season. The proceeds from the lunch will go to support the Lion’s program. “We had decided to support the various Christmas basket programs in Lanark County, one each December and this

will be the third Christmas Basket program in Lanark County that we have chosen as our charity of the month,â€? said Gibson. “They ask for donations in the community of food and money and this will help top up their coffers so they can afford to do it,â€? added Mills. “It’s hard to get a better lunch than $5. They do it out of the kindness of their heart and we should support them and their caring nature.â€? FuLL DECK hosts about 11 luncheons per year and Gibson says there are many non-proÂżts and charitable organizations out there, which are in need of support. “While our luncheons are only one hour, there is a great deal of work involved (pre-

Canada Music Week recital in Beckwith

EMC Entertainment – Canada Music Week, Nov. 18-24, celebrates Canadian music and is an annual event, which was initiated in 1960 by Violet Is¿eld, who was president of the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers Association. Held nationally, the aims of Canada Music Week are to raise the awareness of Canadians about Canadian music through recitals, workshops and contests. The celebration is also intended to encourage

and support Canadian composers, performers, and to introduce music students to contemporary music. Joy Hodgkinson (ARCT), a registered music teacher in Beckwith, is holding a Canada Music Week Recital in the local council chambers on Sunday, Nov. 25, at 2:30 p.m., to present a selection of Canadian music to the residents of the area. Performers will be: Joe Candy, provincial gold medal winner; Spencer

Morden, scholarship winner; Kathleen Morden; and students in the John Beckwith House, named after one of Canada’s most prominent composers, John Beckwith. The piano for the concert will be the heritage instrument in council chambers, a Mason and Risch piano, recently reconditioned at the direction of the Beckwith Heritage Committee and the Beckwith Economic Development Committee, by Napanee’s John Hall,

technician, tuner and owner of the Canadian Piano Museum. This instrument is a ¿ne example of Canada’s thriving piano industry of the early 1900’s, which represented the best technologies, workmanship and materials in the world. It is thought it is the piano that was used in the school at Tennyson, and was moved when the school was closed. The township of¿ce is located at 1702 9th Line.

Proposed 60-bed retirement home in Carleton Place moves forward By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Town staff in Carleton Place have been given approval by council to proceed with a development permit agreement for a 60-bed retirement home at 49 Laura St. However the decision was not a unanimous one. The go-ahead was given at the Nov. 13 policy review committee meeting with a recorded vote of 5-2. Deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg and councillors Doug Black, Rob Probert and Gary Strike voted ‘yea’, while councillors Louis Antonakos and Jerry Flynn indicated ‘nay’. The existing structures (house and garage) at 49

WHO WILL SEND IN THE CLOWNS? EMC News – The group of Land ‘O Lakes Shrine Klowns and their ďŹ rst ladies have given up clowning around and face painting. They ofďŹ cially retired on Oct. 24. Pictured are: back row, left to right: Grete Halsall, Murray Cameron, Linda Cavanagh, Russell Lalonde, Lynn Jenkins, John Hauraney, Margaret McDonnell, Jim Cassibo, Sue Anne Hilton, Nancy Cassibo, Linda Stronski and Ron Stronski; front row: Sheila Acheson, Marguerite Cameron, Barbara Whyte, Ruth Smith, Beryl Beckett, Connie Ryan; and on their sides in front are Robert Cosh and Torrence McDonnell.

Laura St. will accommodate a dining room, sunroom, library, beauty salon, kitchen and medical of¿ces, and a three-storey addition will house the residences and common sitting areas. Lisa Young, the town’s director of planning and development, in a written report to council, noted the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Policy statement and achieves the municipality’s goals of providing housing for seniors, encouraging in¿ll projects, using existing infrastructure, and architectural compatibility with the neighbourhood. Homeowners living on

McArthur Avenue and Laura and Napoleon streets, troubled by the planned construction project, have continually voiced their concerns, which include the magnitude of the addition, a loss of privacy and peace, extra trafÂżc, drainage, and the removal of existing site vegetation. The development permit agreement will include the requirement of a Âżre hydrant, permit cash in lieu of parking provision for two parking spaces, and address the existing setback of the garage from Laura Street. The matter will most likely be brought forward to the next council meeting (Nov. 27) for Âżnal approval.

EMC Events – Single Âżle, they stride purposefully up the deep stairwell and gingerly place themselves across the narrow church steps, resplendent in their handmade green and red Christmas cloaks. An enthusiastic round of applause erupts as a goateed gentleman pulls out a shiny tuning fork and with a wide grin strikes it solidly across his right temple. “Doh, soh, me, doh,â€? he can be heard chanting to the others, as he steps back to join them in line. Then, with a subtle lifting of his left eyebrow, the group responds as if one and the joyous strains of “Oh come, all ye faithfulâ€? are heard ringing through the pews, much to the delight of the gathered throng. Tis a scene repeated each Christmas by what used to be one of Ottawa’s best kept secrets – the 25-voice Stairwell Carollers – and this year they’re returning yet again to sing carols for their many fans in Almonte and Carleton Place. From their humble beginnings in the stairwells of the

University of Ottawa in 1977, this tiny group of singers has grown to become one of Ottawa’s premier a cappella choirs, with ¿ve Christmas CDs and one Renaissance madrigal CD professionallyproduced this past decade, and a seventh CD of sacred music, Cantate Domino, just released this fall. Under the leadership of founder Pierre Massie, the Stairwell Carollers have risen to new heights of musical excellence, winning a provincial competition in 2010 and placing second in the national ¿nals. Pierre also composes his own music for the choir, and has twice won the Toronto Amadeus Choir’s prestigious Christmas Carol and Chanukah Song Writing Competition. The Stairwell Carollers have become equally admired for their unique humanitarian mission. The sales of their CDs and concert tickets help ¿nance their charitable activities, with more than $45,000 donated to local charities and $11,000 granted in music scholarships to high school

students in the area! This Christmas, the Carollers will be making a special $2,000 donation to the youth literacy group, Sage Youth – Jeunesse Sage, based in Richmond, south of Ottawa. The Stairwell Carollers warmly invite music-loving residents of Almonte and Carleton Place to their two upcoming concerts in your area, where their new CD will also be available. It’s a chance to hear some great music and to support the Carollers’ humanitarian work as well: • Dec. 1: Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., Almonte, 7:30 p.m. Ticket info contact Eleanor, 613-2573692. • December 8: St-James Anglican Church, 225 Edmund St., Carleton Place, 7:30 p.m. Fundraiser for “Hug the children of Haitiâ€?, tickets at Church OfÂżce, 613257-3178 or Graham Shoes.

New season of tea dances underway EMC Events – Standing Room Only (SRO), the Almonte-based big band, has launched its seventh season of Sunday afternoon tea dances at the Almonte Old Town Hall (AOTH). The ¿rst dance of the season was on Oct. 28 and the next dance is on Sunday, Nov. 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. Tea dances were popular in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, when big bands were king. They were generally held in hotels and, of course, always featured a live band. The 15-piece SRO band with vocalist Sandy Faux has recreated the period atmosphere of

the tea dance. Featuring the vintage big band sounds of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and many others, the series has been a great success. The AOTH, located at 14 Bridge St., is a beautifully preserved venue with a clean and spacious wooden dance Àoor, natural lighting, and wonderful acoustics. It is one of the few remaining concert halls in Canada with a vaulted wooden ceiling. This adds greatly to the acoustics of the room, which is used by the CBC regularly for national music broadcasts, and which has been selected by CBC Radio 3 as one of the 50 best live music venues in Canada. The authentic period atmosphere of the tea dances is due

to this very special venue, as well as such touches as the table decorations and the Women’s Institute refreshments table. Standing Room Only is pleased to report that the dance Ă€oor was completely reÂżnished over the summer. “All the experienced ballroom dancers at the October dance thought the new Ă€oor is terriÂżc!â€? said a student with Lorna’s Dance Collective. Admission is $14 per person or $25 per couple (includes Town Hall improvement surcharge) at the door, cash only; reservations are not required.

15th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Carleton Place Hospital!

Goodbye to the penny

On Saturday, November 24, 2012 the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation will be hosting the 15th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in front of CPDMH. The ceremony will occur after the Carleton Place Santa Claus Parade at approximately 7:00 pm and will include hot chocolate, treats and an appearance from Santa and Mrs. Claus. The Town Singers will also be at the Tree Lighting to lead the crowd in the singing of Christmas Carols. An extra addition this year and just confirmed by the Hospital’s candy cane phone line to the North Pole, is that during the ceremony, Santa will be also be collecting letters written to him by members of the community. Families and children of all ages are able to personally deliver their Christmas Wish Lists and Letters to Santa which will be answered promptly before his return on Christmas Eve!

EMC Events – It’s time to of¿cially say ‘Farewell to the Penny’ in Almonte. An open house to wave farewell to the penny, will also feature an exclusive viewing of Copper Royalty, Nov. 24, from 3 to 6 p.m. at Alliance Coin and Banknote, 88 Mill St. The event will also conclude the month long penny drive to raise $3,500 for the Almonte General Hospital to purchase a vital signs monitor. A cheque presentation to the hospital will take place Saturday. “Not only is this an opportunity for us to make a contribution to an important cause, it also reinforces the fact that the lowly penny can still accomplish remarkable things, when you get enough of them assembled in one place,” said numismatist Sean Isaacs in an e-mail to the EMC/Gazette. He says the penny drive is going very well and is very thankful to the small core of people who have been assisting him in getting the pennies rolled and boxed. “A wall of copper is forming in our front window as a testament to our progress and … we have boxed and stacked 300,000 pennies or $3,000,” said Isaacs. Copper Royalty is a collection that showcases the history of copper coinage from ancient times to the present.

The Tree Lighting Ceremony is the kick-off to the Christmas Season at the Hospital and has become one of the largest annual fundraisers for the Foundation. “We have always been thrilled with the response this event receives from the community,” stated Robyn Arseneau, Manager of Fundraising of the CPDMH Foundation. The Tree Lighting provides an opportunity for the community to spread the true spirit of the Christmas season by sponsoring a light in memory of a loved one or in honour of friends and family, hospital physicians and staff or anyone that has touched your life in a meaningful way. For every gift received, the Foundation lights a bulb on the tree in front of the Hospital. “Each year we add more lights to the tree as donations and the community response grows. When seeing the lights, we hope that you are each reminded of the magical memories that were shared with loved ones, friends and community members” stated Robyn Arseneau. The funds raised by the 15th Annual Tree Lighting will assist with the purchase of a new Defibrillator & Cardiac Monitor for our Emergency Department. This Defibrillator is multi-functional as it also includes a pacemaker and heart rate regulating capabilities and is critical to saving patients’ lives. Photo by TIFFANY LEPACK

Information regarding the Tree Lighting is being sent to the homes and businesses throughout the Hospital’s catchment area via Canada Post this week. Donations towards the Tree Lighting will be accepted until mid-January and can be made in person at the Foundation Office located near the front entrance of the Hospital, mailed to the Foundation Office (211 Lake Ave East, Carleton Place, K7C 1J4) or completed online by visiting the Foundation’s website at www.carletonplacehospital. ca. The names of all donors to the Tree, as well as the recipients of the in memory and in honour of donations, will be published in the EMC in late January.

A wall of pennies is growing at Alliance Coin and Banknote, an open house is planned for Nov. 24 from 3 to 6 p.m. to reveal the grand total. The highlight of the collection will be the “Melron Large Cents”, a complete and absolutely superb collection of Canadian Large Cents from 1858 to 1920. “The Melron collection is the single-¿nest such set ever put on public display anywhere in the world,” said Isaacs. “Except for our open house of two years ago it has never before been viewed by anyone other than myself and the owning family.”

The collection itself has an estimated value of $500,000 and is currently ranked as the second ¿nest set of Canadian large pennies. “Whether or not our visitors have any interest in coin collecting, to see the early Victorian pennies in their full glorious mint collection is pretty breathtaking,” said Isaacs. “The end of the penny has ¿nally come; as we prepare to move on without it, come have a look at its incredible heritage.”

In regards to the Ceremony, “we hope to see a large crowd of people of all ages at our Tree Lighting Ceremony so we can honour those we love while celebrating the start of the Christmas Season in Carleton Place with Santa,” continued Mrs. Arseneau. “We are all very excited to see the Clauses and to hear the beautiful harmonies of the Town Singers at this year’s event.” For more information about the Tree Lighting Ceremony, please contact the Foundation Office at 613-257-2200 ext. 856 or email: foundation@carletonplacehosp.com.

Carleton Place teen to compete in Miss Teen Ontario tgesner@psfdh.on.ca

EMC News – Haven Lamothe of Carleton Place will compete for the Miss Teen Ontario-World (MTO) crown early next year in Toronto. The 14-year-old Notre Dame Catholic High School student applied for the Miss Teen Canada-World (MTC) pageant in mid September just for fun. “I was bored,â€? she told the EMC Canadian Gazette, “and I never expected to get a call.â€? If Haven advances at the provincial competition, she will vie for the national title next July. Although she participated in a modelling course with Models International in Ottawa during the summer, MTO will be the Grade 9 student’s Âżrst competition. She called the application process nerve-racking, which included a half hour interview by way of Skype with Michelle Weswaldi, director of MTC. “She asked me about my personality, and I answered questions such as what would make a good leader and how could I help people,â€? said Haven. “I was so nervous – shaking and stuttering.â€? Two days later an email arrived with good news: “I would like to thank you for your application. It was a pleasure to meet you. You are well rounded, have compassion for others, as well as morals and self-respect. You are driven, very well spoken and have a lot of passion. I feel you are someone that teens can look up to and be inspired by. So congratulations, you have been selected as a Âżnalist!â€? “I was in tears, I was so excited,â€? she said. “It made my whole year. Not many girls

from a small town get an opportunity like this.â€? When Haven takes the stage in Toronto, she and other contestants will be judged in a handful of categories: swimsuit (20 per cent), evening gown (20 per cent), overall impression (20 per cent), behaviour (Âżve per cent), Âżtness (10 per cent), charity work (10 per cent) and camera-friendly (15 per cent). Competitors range in age from 13 to 19. “She is one of the youngest,â€? said mother Vanessa Lamothe. Haven’s family, which also includes dad Sean and younger brother Tye, is 100 per cent supportive. “I was a little leery and the fees are so expensive, but her heart was set on going,â€? said Vanessa. The MTO competition is very involved in charity work and Haven has taken it upon herself to be pro-active in that regard. Her charity is called Cardiac Kids. Established in 2000, the charity raises much-needed funds to support the children and staff of the cardiology ward at The Hospital for Sick Children. As for the pageant, Haven is preparing by writing her biography, staying in shape, raising funds for her charity and looking for sponsorship. In addition to sit-ups each day, she enjoys badminton, soccer and volleyball. “I am really enjoying it (the experience),â€? she said, “but I didn’t realize how much work is involved.â€? Haven is hoping the community will get behind her with their support. “I know it would help with my conÂżdence on stage,â€? she said. The teen would love to

Haven Lamothe make the community proud and bring recognition to Carleton Place. Tropical Escape and Sinders

were approached for possible sponsorship in the swimwear and evening gown segments of the competition. “My workplace, Heritage Optometric Clinic, is making a contribution,� said Vanessa. Too, local lawyer Alan Jones purchased an ad in the competition’s program book. The purpose of the ad is twofold – promotion and support. Along with a scanned copy of the business’ logo, a message of good luck for Haven is incorporated. Prices are as follows: quarter page ($200), half page ($250) and full page

($300). Businesses, schools, service clubs or individuals interested in sponsoring Haven, making a donation to Cardiac Kids or purchasing an ad in the MTO program, please email four_ iz4@yahoo.ca or call 613253-2074. The teen is doing the pageant for fun – and the experience; however, she is hoping for the best. “Can you imagine if I won,� said Haven. “How crazy would that be?� The winner of next summer’s MTC pageant gets to

travel to Kenya in Africa to work on a Free the Children Project (www.freethechildren. com), in addition to a $20,000 scholarship. After high school, Haven wants to pursue law enforcement. In the meantime, modelling part time would be fun. “Modelling scouts will be present at the pageant,â€? she said. Travelling with Haven will be her mother, two grandmas and two aunts. “We are leaving the husband and Âżve-year-old at home,â€? said Vanessa with a laugh.

way of commemorating that in a medal,” said Reid. Melba Jarvis, one of the medal recipients, has been volunteering with the Salvation Army and the Carleton Place Hospital for more than 40 years and also helps out with the United Way. Jarvis was surprised, honoured and shocked that she was receiving the medal. “It was so unexpected. This is not why I volunteer I do it because I care,” said Jarvis. She says she will treasure the medal the rest of her life and that it means more coming from the Queen. “She has been a part of my life ever since I can remember, when I ¿rst went to school we sang God Save the King for the ¿rst little while and for her to come in so young to be Queen was something,” said Jarvis. “I hope I live as long as the Queen and can give as many years as the Queen has given.”

Almonte Lions Club is asking for your support

Reid praised all of the local recipients for giving of themselves, like the Queen has done. “What I think is signi¿cant about jubilee medals is they allow people to be honoured for doing the kind of work they did without any expectation of receiving this kind of credit,” said Reid. “We are commemorating her lifetime of work on behalf of others by honouring those who have similarly given a lifetime of work to others. She’s an example for all of us.” Long serving volunteer ¿re¿ghter and current ¿re chief William McGonegal was also honoured for his 37 years serving the community with dedication and leadership. McGonegal was also shocked with the medal. “I certainly didn’t expect this, a lot of people deserve to be recognized,” said McGonegal. “ We have one of the best ¿re

departments in the area, too bad everyone couldn’t get one with me.”

EMC News – Beckwith Township handed out 13 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medals to deserving recipients on Nov. 13. Beckwith Township reeve Richard Kidd welcomed everyone to the special presentations by saying it was an honour to see so many people in attendance, approximately 100 people crammed into the meeting room at the township’s of¿ce. “It’s great to celebrate so many community people who have been involved in our community over the years and being recognized with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal,” said Kidd. “The township thought this was very important to recognize these people in our community.” Council nominated all the recipients. Chief administrative of¿cer Cynthia Moyle nominated the entire council to receive the honour. MP for Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington Scott Reid spoke passionately on the Diamond Jubilee, the Queen, past royal honours and the meaning of the medal. The medal was created to mark the celebrations of the Queen’s 60th anniversary on the throne and is described as a tangible way for Canada to honour the Queen for her service and at the same time serves to honour signi¿cant contributions and achievements by Canadians. “The purpose of the medal was to recognize in the hundreds of thousands of communities that make up the country the same spirit of persistent, volunteering, generosity that has characterized the Queen her entire life and to ¿nd a

Concert raises funds for Champions for Kids Nov. 25 By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – The stars are aligning for the Constellation of Stars for Champions Concert Nov. 25. The concert takes place at Almonte District High School from 2 to 4 p.m. in support of the Champions For Kids Foundation (CKF). A second concert, the Galaxy of Stars for Champions, will be held at Carleton Place High School on Sunday, Dec.

9 from 2 to 4 p.m. Tickets for both shows are only $10. Each concert will feature performances from local students, community members and the majority of the performances will be Christmas themed or have a theme of giving or caring. It is sure to be a real mix of entertainment with performances by dancers, bands, choirs, solos, a drum group and more. Anne McRae, trustee for Ward 1 in the Upper Canada

District School Board, who is organizing the concerts, encourages everyone to come out and support the schools. The CKF was started in 2008 and since that time $500,000 has been raised to discreetly help students be involved in sports, art programs or medical expenses across the entire school board. Students are referred to the foundation through school principals and the foundation then directly sends payment to dance

EMC News - Small towns can be as daunting as big cities to navigate. Sure, there are fewer roads and by their nature are smaller in size, however to truly join in the life of a community, one needs a map. A map of a different sort. Crystal Merkley has been creating a ‘map’ of social and recreational opportunities in the Clayton area. She, along with workmates at the Mills Community Support’s Mijiwam Home on the Clayton Road, have made numerous calls to local residents to ¿nd out who is doing what, and with whom, in and around

Clayton. As advocates for the people who live at Mijiwam, staff has a keen interest in helping the people they support to get connected in the neighbourhood. To this end, help us ‘map’ the wealth of Clayton community groups, their events and recreation opportunities. Share your group’s contact info and event plans with Crystal and she will share this resource map in the community once it’s compiled.

The Town Singers ready for annual Christmas concert Dec. 11 tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – For many Carleton Place and area residents, the spirit of the holidays ofÂżcially begins with the annual pre-Christmas concert of The Town Singers. Bringing joy through music, the community choir will present ‘An Evening of Peace and Joy’ on Dec. 11 at 7 p.m., at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. “The snow date is the following week, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.,â€? said Susan Burke, choir member and public relations coordinator. The 65-voice choir is directed by Kristine MacLaren and accompanied by pianist Peter Brown. During the concert, the Town Singers will perform 11 songs, including ‘Gloria’ by Giacomo Puccini, ‘From a

Distance’ (Christmas version) by Bette Midler, and ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon. A highlight of ‘An Evening of Peace and Joy’ will be the addition of a small choir of children, said member Beth McKibbin. The recital is approximately 90 minutes in length. There is no intermission. The evening’s emcees will be Faye and Robert Lavergne who own and operate Brush Strokes. All proceeds from the event will beneÂżt the community. “We give the church a token amount for the use of its building,â€? said Burke, “and we also must pay for Kristine and Peter.â€? Going forward, the choir would like to purchase risers (for the members to stand on). “Currently, the Mississippi Mudds loans us theirs,â€? said

McKibbin. “God bless them.� Tickets for ‘An Evening of Peace and Joy’, which are extremely limited, are $10 each can be purchased from any choir member, at Collins Barrow, which is located at 52 Lansdowne Ave. in Carleton Place, or by calling 613-2574100. The beginning The Town Singers originated around the kitchen table of Carleton Place residents George and Sharon Way. “This was four years ago,� said Burke. In the beginning there were in the region of 10 members. “It’s amazing that it’s already been four years,� said McKibbin, “and it’s been lovely each year to see the choir grow and progress.� Members vary in age from teenagers in high school to

seniors. They come from Almonte, Carleton Place, Ottawa, Perth, Smiths Falls and Stittsville, to name a few. “It’s a very versatile ensemble,� said Burke, “and we have fun and make beautiful music.� The Town Singers hold two concerts yearly – in June and December. MacLaren thinks up the themes for the performances. “June’s concert – At the Hop – included a set of 50s and 60s songs,� said Burke. “It was a big hit. The audience was singing along because they knew all the words.� Other past themes have included Canada and United Kingdom. Concerts and all practices (one day a week from 7 to 9 p.m.) are held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. With such a large group,

tine,� said McKibbin. “She truly understands the capabilities of all choir members, and the calibre of our music is so much better.� “We are all friends – and a very cohesive group,� said Burke. “When one of us accomplishes a particular part of a song, we compliment each other.� Always a hot seller, seats for The Town Singers’ concerts are sure to go fast! Don’t wait to get tickets for all your friends and loved ones, said Burke. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church is located at 39 Bridge St.

Canadians go 1-1 on weekend tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Sports - The Carleton Place Canadians split a home and home series with the Hawkesbury Hawks last weekend. On Nov. 16 in Hawkesbury they fell to the Hawks 3-2 but bounced back on Sunday shutting them out 2-0 at home. In the Friday game, the Hawks exploded with three unanswered goals within the ¿rst 10 minutes of the second frame. That forced Tony Kujava out of the game and Justin

Laforest ¿nished the night between the pipes for the Canadians. Late in the second Stephen Baylis scored shorthanded and unassisted to get the Canadians on the score sheet. The lone third period goal came from Jide Idowu at 12:32 of the ¿nal frame on the power play from Kevin Dufour and Luke Edwards. It was a different story on Sunday afternoon in Carleton Place as the game went scoreless until 3:42 of the third period when Alex Globke scored from Alex Frere and

Evan Peterson. Luke Kasteel ¿nished the game off with an empty net goal at 19:59. The Canadians are now in second place behind the Smiths Falls Bears in the Robinson division of the Central Canada Hockey League. The Canadians played on Tuesday night against Cumberland but game results were unavailable at press time. The Canadians play Kemptville in a home and home series starting in Carleton Place on Friday at 7:45 p.m. and on Sunday at 7 p.m.

GORDON – In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother Phyllis who passed away November 24, 2010. Heaven Needed Mom So many things of Mom I miss, Her gentle hug and tender kiss. I still can feel her warm embrace, And picture yet her loving face. A mothers’ tasks are never done, And Heaven must have needed one. For angels came and took her hand, And led her to God’s promised land. She’s surely kept quite busy there, While brushing little angels’ hair. And making sure they’re dressed just right, Not staying out too late at night. Although there’s sadness, this I know, She’s waiting there, her face aglow. I close my eyes and I can see, Her arms still open wide for me. Always loved and remembered Daughter Mary and Bill Son Bernie and Faye and families

CONNOLLY, Lloyd November 23, 2002 Ten years since that sad day The one I loved was called away God took him home, it was His will But in my heart, he liveth still. Never forgotten, Mary

DAGENAIS, Denise M. In loving memory of a dear sister who passed away November 28, 2003. One morning I found you in eternal sleep; I tried to wake you as I began to weep, But all my pleas you could not hear; Oh if I could have only kept you near, Away from the voices of those who went before, Who beckoned you to come to that distant shore. Although I cry and stand grief-stricken by your grave, I promise not to forget the loving memories you gave; But still I miss you so very much my sister dear, And your caring words I once again long to hear; My heart’s only solace is one day I will see you as before, Beckoning me to come join you on that white distant shore. Love Dar

GIFF, Reg - In loving memory of a devoted husband, father and grandfather, who was called to heaven 10 years ago on November 22, 2002.

Fond memories linger every day Remembrance keeps you near. Always in our thoughts Forever in our hearts Love, Erma, Wendy, Dee, Justin & Brianne

DUFFY - In memory of Billy, January 26, 1983November 25, 2008. You Never Said Goodbye. You never said “I’m leaving”, You never said goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knew why. A million times we needed you A million times we cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, That no one else can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you Home. Never forgotten Dad, Tammy and Alanah

CURRAN - In loving memory of Chris Curran, August 12, 1964 - November 27, 2011.

CONNOLLY, Lloyd November 23, 2002 God took the strength of a mountain The majesty of a tree The warmth of a summer sun The calm of a quiet sea The generous soul of nature The comforting arm of night The wisdom of the ages The power of the eagles flight The joy of morning in spring The faith of a mustard seed The patience of eternity The depth of a family need Then God combined these qualities When there was nothing more to add He knew His masterpiece was complete And so, he called it......’Dad’ Lovingly remembered, Lorie

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. Now all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, With which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping We have you in our heart. Love Mom, Kevin and Amy xoxo

Summer is gone, And now it’s Fall, Which brings back memories, Saddest of all. Each morning when we awake, Knowing you are gone, No one knows our heartache, As we carry on. Our hearts ache with sadness, And secret tears still flow, What losing you has meant to us, No one will ever know. Our thoughts are always about you, Your place no one else will ever fill. In life we loved you dearly, And we always will.

Keith Hobbs October 4, 1932 - November 20, 2009 We think about you always, We talk about you still, You have never been forgotten, And you never will. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk and guide us through our lives Until we meet again. Your loving Family THE EMC - 52 - Thursday, November 22, 2012

CURRAN - In loving memory of Chris Curran, November 27, 2011. One minute you were here, the next you were taken. No warning, no chance to say goodbye, you were gone. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year. There hasn’t been a day that I haven’t thought of you, missed you, and cried that I don’t have you with me anymore. I am thankful that I have so many memories of the life we shared. That and knowing you would want us to keep making more with you in our hearts is what keeps me going. Hunting season was your favourite time of year. So we went out and hunted and ran your Beagles. Laughed, joked, and spoke and thought of you often, you were missed but not forgotten. You will never be forgotten. You will always be missed and loved by the people that knew and cared about you. Love, Kim

JACQUES, Raymond Jr. - In loving memory of my son who passed away November 26, 1988 24 years today my son was called To his eternal rest; Gone, where the angels sing so sweet, And taken when God knew best, I miss him here so very much, His presence oft seems nigh, But I hope in Heaven to meet Where no one says goodbye. Love Dad

Meet me in the‌Middle East, for Aladdin starting Nov. 25 EMC Entertainment - East and west merge for the Christmas season with the Mississippi Mudds’ production of Aladdin, which the musical theatre group will present in Carleton Place starting this weekend. This show is an extravaganza of chorus and costumes, songs and spirits and promises to delight audiences of all ages. Folklore has handed down the story of Aladdin and his magic lamp for thousands of years, as part of the tales of the Arabian Nights. Pantomimes have parlayed Aladdin’s adventures to English audiences for 200

years or more. Most recently, Disney’s animated version has charmed North Americans with the poor boy and the princess, the genie and the sorcerer and a score of well-loved songs. Director Tony Scott has chosen music for this version that represents a variety of genres and tastes, from Broadwaystyle to the Beatles, funky to folksy. There is something for everyone in the audience to recognize, to hum or to tap their toes to as the talented musicians, cast and chorus perform their musical numbers. Since the original adventures of Aladdin and his magic lamp

UCDSB receives update on Bill 13, the Accepting Schools Act EMC News – Last week the Upper Canada District School Board received an update on Bill 13, the Accepting Schools Act, which is designed to assist Boards in creating safe, inclusive and accepting schools essential for student achievement and well-being. During his presentation to trustees to explain the bill, Superintendent of Education David Coombs outlined this week is Anti-Bullying Week (Nov. 19 – 23), and it will be celebrated at Upper Canada schools with various events to raise awareness. He added that the deÂżnition of bullying, according to the Act, is: • Bullying means repeated aggressive behaviour; • This includes the use of any physical, verbal, electronic, written or other means; and • This also includes what is commonly known as cyberbullying. Coombs also clariÂżed for trustees that the Accepting Schools Act is not simply “tougher consequencesâ€? for those guilty of bullying. Rather, the Board has several measures in place that are designed to prevent bullying and to assist with investigation of all reported bullying

incidents. Those measures include Link Crew, a mentorship program where Grade 12 students mentor Grade 9 students to ensure they are safe, valued and supported. There is also the Board’s extensive Character Education program where students of all ages are taught the importance of honesty, empathy, fairness, caring, responsibility, perseverance, respect and resilience. There are also supports in place for the bullied, the bully and the bystanders. “This is not the antibullying legislation,� stated Coombs. “The bill does include a provision for consequences but it includes everything else that you don’t necessarily see such as progressive discipline, calling the parent, preparing a plan, and involving student support counselors. As well, the mental health of the bully is part of the process we follow to work to resolve issues.� Coombs added, “We have to be sure that those students who in the past didn’t feel welcomed and supported, are indeed welcomed and supported.� Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

take place in China, the Mudds’ stage design and costumes are also oriental style, albeit with a side trip to an Egyptian tomb! The set and costumes will dazzle with pattern, colour and textures. Fans of the Mudds will meet some new characters in this production. Wait until you hear from Aladdin’s mother, the Widow Twankey, played by Jim MacGregor, and the steps she has to take to make ends meet! Cait Morton, who plays Aladdin’s sister, Wishee Washee, keeps the audience engaged in true panto style. Keep an eye out also for these young

cast members: the executioner, played by Kirra Martin; the magician’s apprentice, played by Sydney Osborne; the Spirit of the Ring, played by Maddy Martin; and Rick Shaw, played by Gillian Whitlock. The counterpart to Aladdin’s naïve good nature is the evil sorcerer from North Africa, Abanazar, played by Adam Pelletier. He is a villain that the audience will love to hate, until the story takes an unexpected turn near the end. Finally, there is the impartial but somewhat doddering genie that appears on command. Of course, Aladdin and his

princess are central to the story. When Aladdin (played by Tanner Flinn, encounters the Princess, the Royal Emperor’s daughter, played by Amy Bourne, in the garden for the Âżrst time, it is love at Âżrst sight. The actors do a fabulous job of depicting young love with the familiar ballad, “You Had Me from “Helloâ€?â€? and the less known pop number, “I’ve Just Seen a Faceâ€?. This collection of characters of all ages, stages and sizes comes together in a show that will not disappoint. Bring your grandchildren, bring your grandparents, your date, your

spouse, your siblings and your friends and have a magical time with the Mudds. Aladdin happens at the Carleton Place Town Hall, 175 Bridge St., at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 7 and 8 and at 2 p.m. on Dec. 2 and 8. Tickets are only $20, available via the Chamber of Commerce, 613-257-1976. Sunday, Nov. 25, there will be a special preview performance at 2 p.m., with $5 admission at the door. Proceeds to the Carleton Place Food Bank. See you in Pekin! Mary Alexander is a Mudds member and a member of the Mudds publicity team.
