North Grenville firefighters carry a rescued dog away from the Rideau River after pulling it from the river’s icy waters.

Firefighters take on Rideau River to save dog

By JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC News – Thin spring ice and freezing water almost got the better of a male bull terrier mix that fell into the Rideau River on Easter Sunday.

A 911 call at around 3 p.m. to the North Grenville Fire Service from nearby residents on River Road just east of Muldoon Road made all the difference to the dog.

The animal had been trying desperately to get out of the water and back to shore for almost 30 minutes.

It was clear that it was losing the battle with the freezing water and the slippery ice. He was clearly exhausted.

“It makes for a happy Easter story,” said Andy Parent of Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary.

Parent was called by Chief Paul Hutt to come and get the dog from the North Grenville fire station after the rescue. The owners of the ten year-old pet had been visiting from Quebec. They were visiting family for Easter when the dog slipped out the back door of the home at which they were staying.

“They were very happy and grateful when they realized their family pet was safe and sound at Big Sky Ranch,” said Parent. ”This was truly a happy ending,” he said. “They could not say enough about how they felt about what the firefighters did.”

Parent said this time of year can be very dangerous for people’s pets.

“They can go out on the ice and not realize how thin it really is at this time of year,” said Parent.

When North Grenville firefighters arrived at the river they had to make some quick decisions.

“When it comes to wildlife and domesticated animals, we really have to look at the risk,” said fire Chief Paul Hutt.

Despite how people feel, including firefighters, about fighting to save a wild animal or someone’s pet, the risk to the rescuers can be greater than to the animal.

Chief Hutt saw that there were residents who were getting ready to go out on the ice to save the dog. Despite their good intentions, residents could have been in trouble had they been allowed to go out on the thin ice to rescue the exhausted dog. “I did not want them out there,” said Hutt.

The firefighters took over, and using an inflatable portable raft called a Fortuna

they went after the animal. Firefighters managed to get it out of the water, off the ice and back on land. Chief Hutt said the dog appeared to be healthy and in good shape, but clearly tired.

Firefighters warmed him up with blankets. The dog did not have any identification and there did not seem to be an owner or anyone around who knew the dog. Parent was called and he took it back home with him.

Chief Hutt said the river, especially at this time of year when it is running fast and has varying thicknesses of ice on it, is not the place residents want to be.

The dog’s owners had been desperately looking for him and were unaware of the drama that had taken place on the river that Sunday afternoon. They heard of the rescue from a neighbour.

Paulson said that is far from always the case; that unions reduce employee turnover, add experience, and bring other benefits.

A well-paid workforce usually means fewer social problems that require government intervention; intervention that requires taxes from corporations.

He added that the bulk of investors are from within a given region. There are not many outside investors considering a move to Ontario. So to discard labour laws that have worked for 70 years in the hope of attracting outside entrepreneurs isn’t a wise decision. “For all the rhetoric of companies being able to pick up and move to the ‘most attractive’ locales, it’s mostly smoke-and-mirrors, just as the outcries about outsourcing in the 1990s were pretty much red herrings,� Paulson said.

McDonald’s can’t have an Ontario customer’s burger flipped in Mexico. “Most companies, and certainly most factory operations, are not able to move. And there are all sorts of factors at play – unionization is just one among a great many – in choosing where to establish a new business operation.�

Paulson joins a growing list of economists and others, along with groups like the right-leaning International Monetary Fund, who say taking an austerity approach hasn’t fixed problems in Europe, and likely won’t improve the stalled situation in places like Ontario.

He said cutting back the size of government might be ideologically appealing to some, but it is the opposite of what needs to happen to grow an economy. “You can’t get out of a stagnant economy by austerity,� Paulson said. “You have to grow your way out of deficit; if the goal is to eliminate a deficit.�

EMC News – The Progressive Conservatives vow to bring in U.S.-style right-to-work legislation if the party wins the next election. But an economics expert at Carleton University says that would lead to lower wages for all Ontario workers, usher in labour chaos and further damage the Ontario economy.

A party “white paper� was released recently to gauge voter feedback. While not a series of campaign promises, it is considered the direction leader Tim Hudak and the party intends to go.

Sweeping changes to strip unions of power is at its core. “It’s time for Ontario to re-examine outdated workplace rules that date back to the 1940s and adapt them to the much more flexible requirements of today’s employees,� reads the Paths to Prosperity: Flexible Labour Markets. “We must realize that labour flexibility and more opportunities for workers are essential to retaining and attracting the very best talent to our province.�

The white paper goes on to say a series of government policies favour union leaders over employees and their employers in ways that reduce opportunities for individual workers and are obstacles to economic growth. “Union leaders have become so powerful that many employees in effect have two bosses, their actual employer and the people who run their union,� reads the white paper. “Mandatory union membership, forced paycheque contributions, closed tendering for government contracts and the artificial restriction on the number of our youth able to enter the skilled trades – these are not policies that foster the open, innovative economy Ontario needs.�

U.S. President Barak Obama recently commented on states – such as the one-time union powerhouse Michigan - enacting right-to-work legislation. He called it “right to work for less� legislation.

It’s a phrase Justin Paulson, assistant professor of sociology and political economy at Carleton, said accurately captures what happens in those regions. Alabama and about 23 others with right-to-work laws have the lowest wages; when workers are divided they are more vulnerable. “Encouraging employees to opt out of paying dues substantially weakens any union’s ability to negotiate on behalf of all of its members,� said Paulson, who studied in the U.S. “The result is almost always weaker unions and lower wages. This is uncontroversial; the lowest in the U.S. are in rightto-work states, and while right-to-work proponents claim that this is somehow offset by the creation of more jobs, the dynamics behind employment and unemployment are far more complicated than whether or not strong unions exist.�

Paulson said a “flexible� workforce – the ability to fire workers and restructure almost at will – only sometimes increases profits. He said the idea that cheap labour always equals high profit is “rather sophomoric.� It might have an effect in the short term, but it doesn’t account for other variables and doesn’t hold for all industries.

The assumption in the PC argument is that corporations don’t like unions.

especially holds that lower business taxes will attract more investors, which in turn will create more jobs, which in turn will drive wages up.

Paulson doesn’t buy that line of argument. “It won’t work. The whole right-towork strikes me as a straight unionbusting tactic. It serves an ideological function, but that’s it,� he said. “The idea that it would bring up wages is ridiculous. It’s just not mainstream economics.�

He said austerity measures – cutting government jobs, reducing wages, failing to add stimulus - puts an economy into a recessionary tailspin or, at best, a kind of stagflation. Ontario, with some of the lowest corporate taxes in North America, would benefit from raising them, according to Paulson.

Union violence His fear is that if Ontario continues to go after unions – much like the Liberals did with teachers – it will embolden the more radical left-wingers in the union movement. For the last 30 years or so, moderate union leaders have won the support of the majority with steady increases in pay. Should that fall away, the moderates’ grip on union workers would slip.

Few remember how wildcat strikes, vandalism, even all out rioting and violence, happened with some frequency in North America. Business suffered, workers suffered, all agreed laws respecting workers were needed in order to benefit the whole.

Would dismantling labour laws and taking away Charter and union rights mean a return of the radical left? “I think you should have concerns,�

Paulson said, pointing to last year’s student uprisings in Quebec and elsewhere.

He said these things are unpredictAusterity needed Carleton-Mississippi Mills Con- able, but it could get a whole lot worse servative MPP Jack MacLaren said if governments insist on eliminating austerity measures are the only way to deficits rather than grow economies. go; that the private sector in this province has taken a hit to the tune of some 60,000 jobs and now it is the public sector’s turn. “Everybody in our society is going to have to shoulder the burden,� said the Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP, adding that high taxes are collected to pay for an educated, healthy workforce, but that the time has come for Ontario to compete with other jurisdictions. “We are living beyond our means,�

MacLaren said. “We haven’t paid the true costs of government as we’ve gone along. And now it’s come home to roost.�

He said unions served a purpose in the past, but that individuals can negotiate wages on their own or move to another province that will appreciate their skills.

MacLaren dismisses the notion that government can have a hand in shaping and growing an economy. The best it can do is clear up red tape for the private sector, he says.

His universal statement is that the private sector does a better job: every time. He even downplays taxpayers’ investment in his own salary. “As someone in the public sector, I’m a burden on society,� MacLaren said. “If government is smaller with fewer workers, we’ll tax you less.�

with disabilities.

“Only 26 per cent of people with disabilities are hired by employers in Canada,” said Earle. “In my view, this is shameful! We need to change this.”

Since day one of his advocacy, he has been opposed to institutions.

“There is no room (in the world) for institutions,” said Earle. “Every person deserves to be treated equally in the communities where they live.”

Endorsement “It is always difficult to follow Kory,” said LeBlanc with a laugh.

“He is such a good speaker.”

Like many people in attendance, she was wearing a black t-shirt with hot pink lettering bearing the words: “Support Kory Earle for president of People First of Canada.” Pink is Earl’s favourite colour.

Other members of council in attendance included deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg, Flynn and Coun. Gary Strike.

“Our local members of People First work diligently, making an important difference in how people with disabilities are perceived and welcomed in our community,” said LeBlanc.

Owing to numerous events, members of People First have made themselves visible in Lanark County, and they have strived to make its communities better places to live.

The mayor tipped her hat to Earle for his work with provincial legislators, including Dufferin-Caledon Member of Provincial Parliament

(MPP) Sylvia Jones, to end picketing in front of group homes.

“Although it (Bill 23) didn’t get to third reading, it did draw significant attention to this issue,” said LeBlanc, “and I know it’s going to be brought back.”

This important work in the community didn’t happen without vision, and it didn’t happen without leadership.

“Kory, you had that vision, which spread and as a result, People First has strong support throughout our county,” said LeBlanc.

The mayor whole-heartedly endorsed Earle’s campaign.

“Kory was and is determined and persistent, and these are two very important characteristics in a leader,” said LeBlanc. “I was going to wish you luck, but it’s not luck that is going to make you president of People First of Canada. It is you and your skills.”

PFoLC president Manon Lépine has known Earle for 10 years “and when I was living in Kincardine, he would call me and talk about People First.”

His message triggered something in Lépine, and when she moved to Lanark County six years ago she got involved.

“I would not be here if it wasn’t for Kory,” said Lépine. “I owe him a great deal of thanks.”

She called him a wonderful man with the biggest heart of gold; someone who would help anyone day or night.

the right to live a full and satisfying life and be a contributing member of a community.

“The world needs more people like Kory,” said Lépine. “He has accomplished so much. I look up to him.”

“Kory’s exceptional leadership skills are evident in everything he does,” added Coun. Jerry Flynn.

“He continues to give members with visible and not so visible disabilities hope. Hope that their years of struggle against prejudice, segregation and discrimination are finally over.”

In a light-hearted moment, Flynn joked Earle had grown tremendously over the years – up and out.

On a more serious note, Flynn said, “Kory’s talents have taken him to institutions of power where he has been listened to and shown the greatest respect. He is more than worthy of the presidency of this important and much-needed organization, and as councillor of Carleton Place, supporter of People First and a friend of Kory’s, I am proud to endorse his decision.”

At last week’s announcement, Earle showed off a key chain gifted to him by his mother 10 years ago.

It is engraved with the following message (by Bo Jackson): “Set your goals high and don’t stop until you get there.”

The PFoLC board passed a motion on March 13 to make Earle the organization’s honourary member.

Invitation to General Public to hear: Authors Claude Weil and Raouf Omar Tuesday April 9th, 2013 at 7:30p.m.

Algonquin College Caffeteria, 7 Craig Street, Perth

Light Behind the Darkness: Stories of Compassion from the Holy Land Presented by the Lanark County Community Justice Program

A compilation of stories of the authors experiences during a conflict that is at the very forefront of the world’s consciousness.

Weil is an Israeli Jew and Omar is a Palestinian, an unlikely combination for two such close friends. But this friendship proves that compassion--in the most unlikely places and at the most unlikely times--lives on in the hearts of even the toughest soldiers of the desert.

We think of soldiers as being hard, impersonal, and rough; even insensitive. But in these stories we learn that they can be tough, but oh, so gentle. They can become captivated by a sunset or a desert flower; by a child, an old man, a beautiful woman. They can be capable of acts of compassion.

Lanark County approves tax rates for 2013 EMC News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, March 27 at the county building in Perth.

Council has approved bylaws setting the 2013 levy amounts to be collected from ratepayers, as well as tax ratios and tax-capping provisions.

The county’s budget passed in November with a $29.5 million levy to be collected through the towns and townships. The county residential tax rate for 2013 is 0.00410042 or $410 per $100,000 of assessment, an increase of 1.8 per cent from 2012.

“We continue to work hard to find ways to maintain and replace the county’s infrastructure in a sustainable manner while limiting tax increases as much as possible,” said Kurt Greaves, county CAO/treasurer.

Once the tax levy is established, council sets tax ratios, which distribute taxes between the various classes (e.g. industrial, commercial, residential). Tax capping is a mandatory continuation of tax protection for multi-residential, commercial and industrial classes. The nine municipal treasurers of Lanark County recommended a zero increase in the industrial tax ratio again this year.

“The industrial class is above the provincial average. When the increase is maintained at zero it helps to move it closer to the average,” Greaves explained.

The industrial class represents only 1 per cent of the county’s $6.9 billion assessment

base, with almost 90 per cent consisting of the residential class. “Restricting the industrial tax class ratio shifts the burden to the other classes, but then council can adopt revenue neutral tax ratios, which limits the increase to the residential class,” he said.

Assessment changes for those classes are capped at 10 per cent. “Assessment is now being phased in, so we expect to eventually eliminate capping as it has become redundant,” Greaves said.

The county portion is only one of three components on the tax bill, with the local municipality and education portion making up the balance.

costs were compared to an estimate to build a new operations facility. Considering the costs of repairing the aging garages and the operational efficiencies that will result from centralization, council directed staff to begin developing a plan for a new facility. Before the facility design process begins, reports regarding options for property acquisition and disposal, and proposed plough truck deployment options for winter operations, will be prepared for council consideration.

Back-up site changed for fire communications Council has authorized a change to the fire dispatch communications centre services agreement that makes the Smiths Falls Police Facility the remote back-up site. The county has an agreement with Smiths Falls for the provision of fire communications for the municipal fire departments within Lanark County. As part of that agreement, the Perth Police/ Fire Communications Centre was the remote back-up site, but that centre is scheduled to close in early April.

The Smiths Falls Dispatch Centre commenced communications services for the Perth Fire Department on Jan. 8. The new remote backup site will be the Smiths Falls Police Facility on Hershey Drive, which is expected to be operational in late March.

Proposed centralization of public works operations Council has approved, in principle, one of four options that would eventually see a new three-bay garage with office space built for the entire public works department. The department currently works out of five main locations: the Perth garage, the McDonald’s Corners pit, the Union Hall garage, the Almonte garage and the public works office building in Perth. The county owns all but the Almonte garage, which is owned by the province of Ontario.

A consultant evaluated the condition of these properties to determine costs to repair and upgrade the existing facilities and to bring them up to code with barrier-free ac- Public access defibrillator program supcess and improved energy efficiency. These

ported County staff have been authorized to develop an education and awareness program to promote the public access defibrillator program. Since 2007, several rounds of grants through the Heart & Stroke Foundation’s funding of public access defibrillators have resulted in numerous automatic external defibrillators being placed in facilities across the county, with several more sites identified as having a need.

The latest round of funding in 2012 focused on recreation complexes and schools with sport facilities. Some sites include secondary schools that annually teach use of AEDs to students.

“The more individuals trained on the use of an AED, whether from public access facilities or through secondary school training, the more effective the program will be if the need arises,” said Rick Hannah, emergency services coordinator.

Upcoming meetings County Council, Wednesday, April 24, 7 p.m.; Community Development, April 3, 5 p.m.; Public Works April 3 (following Community Development). Community Services, April 10, 5 p.m.; Corporate Services, April 10 (following Community Services). For more information, contact 1-888-9-LANARK, ext.

REGIONAL NEWS

Delta Maple Syrup Festival April 20 and 21 EMC Events – As soon as the sap starts to run, the community of Delta starts to prepare for the Delta Maple Syrup Festival. The 46th anniversary edition, April 20 and 21, promises to offer entertainment, refreshments, activities and of course, maple syrup and pancakes to the thousands of people who opt to visit the Village of Delta each spring.

Established as the Village’s Centennial Project in 1967, this year’s festival will be held during the weekend of April 20 and 21 at which pancakes and sausages flooded with maple syrup will be served at the fairgrounds between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. There will also be a craft sale in the upper level of the main fair building, a silent auction downstairs and local syrup producers outside selling their maple produce throughout the weekend.

In addition to the special

added on-grounds feature of having hot air inflatable jumping castles for the children on Saturday and musical entertainment by “King of the Swingers” on Sunday, there will be a blacksmithing demonstration at the Old Stone Mill Drive shed and a maple display, bake sale and book sale at the Old Town Hall.

On Saturday, there will be a ball hockey tournament at the recreation centre in the morning and a dance at the legion in the evening.

If you are able to assist at this year’s festival, please contact Heather Halladay at 613-9282949 for table servers and clean up or Liz Preibe at 613-9282902 for cooking and serving pancakes. People wishing to reserve concession space may contact Marlaine Hart at 613924-2407.

The event is sponsored by the Delta Agricultural Society and

follows a tradition which began in 1967 as a Centennial project under the leadership of Harold Russell who worked tirelessly as he arranged sugar bush visits and promoted demonstrations.

In the beginning, the Festival was a three day event which included busloads of students who visited Delta on school trips to enjoy pancakes and syrup which were served on both floors of the town hall.

Visitors were able to tour the local sugar bushes and to watch maple syrup being bottled and maple candy being made in the Confederated Foods Syrup Plant.

Over the years, the festival continued through the efforts of many local residents and service clubs until it recently became a project for the directors of the Delta Agricultural Society.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Consumers should be concerned about genetically modified alfalfa DEAR EDITOR: The National Farmers Union in Ontario has called for a national day of action for April 9 to stop the commercial release of GM (genetically modified) alfalfa – http://www.nfu.ca/issues/stop-genetically-modified-alfalfa.

Alfalfa (commonly harvested as hay) is a high-protein forage fed to animals like dairy cows, beef cattle, lambs, poultry and pigs. It‘s also used to build nutrients and organic matter in the soil, making it particularly important for organic farming. If it’s introduced, GM alfalfa will ruin export markets for alfalfa products, contaminate family farms, make it more difficult for farmers to control weeds, and threaten the future of organic food and farming in Canada.

Because alfalfa is a perennial plant that is pollinated by bees, genetically modified alfalfa will inevitably cross-pollinate with nonGM and organic alfalfa. Prairie farmers have already rejected GM

alfalfa for these reasons so now the industry is trying to introduce GM alfalfa in eastern Canada.

I am one of many Canadians trying to eat healthier by supporting farmers’ markets, trying to grow more of my own food and buying organic produce and products. While I live in Toronto, I support Canadian farmers who don’t want GM alfalfa or other GM crops on their fields.

Consider visiting the web link above or visiting www.cban.ca to find out more about why you should be concerned about GM alfalfa and other GM crops. It would be appreciated if you would consider writing your MP and Minister Gerry Ritz (gerry.ritz@parl.gc.ca) regarding this important issue to Canadian agriculture.

COMMENTARY Spring no time to go near water EMC Editorial – It seems like forever, but spring is coming. While Mother Nature seems to be playing a good April Fool’s joke on all of us here in Eastern Ontario, warmer days are on the horizon.

And while the winter that never ends does reach its ultimate conclusion, it marks a return of fast-running and dangerous waterways throughout the region.

While there’s no doubt the slow melt will help, according to South Nation Conservation (SNC), this is no time to let down our guard. “Water levels near an operated dam can change suddenly without warning,” noted SNC Team Lead for Water Resources Sandra Mancini in a press release. “We caution residents – especially parents of young children – to be wary of changes in flows, high water levels and unstable ice.”

According the information bulletin, “SNC monitors snow depth and its water equivalent at seven locations twice a month; this information indicates how well the snow will be able to absorb rainfall and excess water. In addition, there is continuous monitoring of a total of ten stream gauges that measure river levels throughout the watershed.”

Despite the heavy late-season snows, the authority has not had to issue flood warning messages so far this spring.

That’s not to say conditions are safe, however. Despite taking what should be the necessary precautions, all too often we read about tragedies, of someone straying too close to the edge and slipping into the near freezing water. From there, it can take just seconds for hypothermia to set in, leading to a most preventable death. Keep well back of the banks and keep an eye on youngsters to make sure they come nowhere near what appear to be inviting watercourses.

For more information about the watershed, visit www. watershedconditions.com.

Using the outhouse at night a scary proposition EMC Lifestyle – During the day, the outhouse held little terror for me.

It was at night, when it was pitch black outside, that I dreaded the small clapboard building that sat like a sentry behind a cluster of cedar trees in our back yard.

Mother hated the outhouse for an entirely different reason. After living in New York City for 18 years, she thought going outside to the bathroom was right up there with drinking tea from a saucer, or wearing a soiled apron when company came to the back door. “Uncivilized. That’s all it is... just plain uncivilized,” was her constant lament.

Well, we had no choice out there in the back woods of Renfrew County.

Our chances of having a flush toilet like my little friend Joyce had in her brick house, were absolutely nil! We had no running water, and there was no electricity or telephone, and the very thought of having a flush toilet in the house was like dreaming the Depression wasn’t happening!

For the longest time, when I was very little, I remember our outhouse having only one hole. But eventually,

after Mother complained endlessly, a new one was built by Old Herman, who was considered an outhouse authority out there in Northcote, for reasons which escaped me at the time.

It was after it was built that my older sister Audrey pointed out the bevelled seat Old Herman was famous for.

Well, the bevelled seat did little to endear the outhouse to Mother, and did less for me, who still dreaded going out to it, once night had settled in.

Old Herman had put a latch on both the inside and outside of the door too, which was a vast improvement over the stone on the floor that you shoved with your foot to keep the door closed once you got seated.

Yes, the new outhouse was an improvement, but Mother still lamented daily about how it was, what she called, ‘an uncivilized way of life’, which she never quite got used to.

My little friend Joyce also had a store-bought roll of real toilet paper in her indoor bathroom. It hung on a wire holder on the wall, and even when I didn’t have to go, I never failed to use the bathroom when I visited her house, and reef off a piece of that store bought Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

toilet paper, just to witness the sheer luxury of the whole experience.

Our toilet paper was the no-longer current issue of Eaton’s catalogue. Father would drive a spike through the upper left corner of the thick book, and feed a piece of heavy binder-twine through the hole, and hang it on a nail on the inside near the door. An entire page was never fully torn out, and by the time the catalogue was well used up, it was almost useless. But it was all we had. Well, except at Christmas time.

This was when Mother would ask Mr. Briscoe from Briscoe’s General Store if she could have the little orange wrappers that came around the oranges he brought in only at Christmas.

she would iron them flat, and put them in the back-to-the-wall cupboard in a neat little pile, and they replaced the Eaton’s catalogue in the outhouse only when we had company. And we children were well warned not to use the orange papers...they were there for a higher clientele.

A big pail of lime sat in a corner of the little black building, and we were instructed to use a dipper of it often.

I confess, I found that chore had little appeal to me.

During the day, I had little fear of going into the outhouse, but once it got dark at night, I was filled with dread.

So as soon as the daylight started to fade, I made awfully sure I made a trip out behind the trees to the little building. But the very thought of going through the entire night without emptying my bladder was all it took to create an urgent need. This was when I would beg my sister Audrey to come with me. Audrey thought I was old enough at five or six to go on my own. And so I would ask her to light the lantern, even thought it had yet to get absolutely dark out, and I would go through the summer kitchen and then ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Peter Ellis, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

the wood shed, a long-about way of getting there, because that way I was under cover for most of the trip.

My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to scare the living daylights out of me every chance he got, would always warn me to stay clear of the coyotes, or the big black bear he assured me would like nothing better than to haul a young girl off to the bush!

And so going out to the outhouse became a constant challenge for me once it got dark at night. There was always the Johnny pot under the bed, but to use it before we retired was out of the question. It was there for emergencies, Mother said. I couldn’t think of a more dire emergency than forcing a young terrified girl out in the dark at night to go to the privy!

Like the silos that were on every farm, the tin mailboxes at the end of the lanes, the hay lofts, the pumps over the wells in the middle of the yards, and piles of manure at the back of every barn, the outdoor privy was very much a sign of the times during the thirties. Each, very much a necessity for our very survival.

Sunday’s Purse Event in Smiths Falls to How to enjoy fresh herbs all year benefit library, Big Brothers Big Sisters

By HELEN HALPENNY

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Find a new purse (or a few) this Sunday, April 7 at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion during the Purse Event.

This is the third year for the event, which runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and is being coordinated by Tammy’s Nail Salon. It serves as a fundraiser for the Smiths Falls Public Library’s summer literacy tutoring program for children, as well as Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Lanark County.

Last year, over 500 handbags were sold (raising $7,000) throughout the afternoon and Sunday’s fundraiser promises to offer even more purses of all shapes and sizes, colour and pattern. In fact, according to the Facebook page for the Purse Event, to date, more than 580 items have been donated by the community, businesses and organizations.

“It’s a cool idea because everyone has purses they

want to get rid of and then they can come to the Purse Event and replace them!” said Tammy’s Nail Salon owner Tammy Edwards, who along with her mother Betty Fowlie and an organizing team, is coordinating the fundraiser.

Those attending on Sunday afternoon can expect a bit of everything: new and gently-used handbags, clutches and wallets at great prices. In the past, high-end designer handbags such as Coach and Prada have been featured. All donations have been scrutinized to ensure there are no rips and the zippers are working properly. There will be three opportunities for guests to take home some great purses at discount prices: the bargain table, where items will be priced from 50 cents to $20, as well as a silent auction.

The cream of the crop (about 20 to 25) have been selected to be auctioned off live by Joynt’s Auction Services, who are generously donating their time during the day.

Edwards is excited about the event and the quality of purses this year.

“It’s a great afternoon out with your girlfriend, mother or kids. You can enjoy a few refreshments and get a nice purse for $20,” she said.

The Purse Event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 on Main St. A free gift will be given to the first 25 people through the door, door

prizes will be offered every 15 minutes and guests can enjoy a light lunch for a small fee.

For more information about the fundraiser, visit the Purse Event on Facebook. Donations are being accepted right up until the event. Those interested can drop them off at Tammy’s Nail Salon (50 Lorne St.), email thepurseevent@gmail. com or call 613-283-4277 ext. 1 to arrange for pickup.

EMC Lifestyle – When last summer’s abundant garden herbs are just a distant memory, it is time to start some indoors, to enjoy this spring and summer.

Herbs can share space in a large container or grow in individual pots.

Parsley, basil, sage, dill and thyme will all perform well on a bright sunny windowsill or under fluorescent lights that give 14 hours of light. A soil mix suitable for containers should be used.

Do use plastic pots, as clay ones dry out too quickly. Since indoor air is dry in winter, misting is very helpful. Give adequate water but do not overwater.

An all purpose fertilizer used at half strength very two weeks, will provide

Master Gardeners

the necessary nutrients.

Regular pinching will encourage bushy growth. If there is a mild spell you may be able to dig up a small clump of chives from your garden. They will come along quickly indoors. As spring approaches, your herb seedlings can be harvested sparingly and after being hardened off can eventually be transplanted to your garden where they will soon be robust plants, ready to add flavor to your meals.

Sizing up impaired drivers all part of police officer’s job

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Popping a few sticks of gum to mask one’s breath before climbing behind the wheel after having a few with friends won’t fool OPP Const. Beth Hollihan.

Ditto wearing those sunglasses after toking up.

Hollihan has been with the OPP for 15 years and currently operates out of the Carleton Place detachment. She is one of only four drug recognition evaluators in Lanark County, though there are 12 officers trained in standardized field sobriety tests.

If you have foolishly decided to drink-and-drive, you may already be in the process of being sized up by the police before you even see the red-andwhite lights in your rearview mirror.

“You stop a car for speeding – Cavanagh Road (outside Carleton Place) is a good example,” said Hollihan, with nods of recognition about that infamous strip, since it is posted 60 km/h but, with motorists coming off of Highway 7, many assume that the road is posted at 80 km/h. “We have to, in Canada, have something called reasonable suspicion.”

Usually, erratic driving, or driving too slowly, are tip-offs.

“If you see a lot of driving evidence to suggest that this person is impaired or texting,” that can be grounds for pulling the car over, and initiating the walk-the-line test, for example, or take a “diverted attention test…to see if they can multi-task, which is exactly what

It blocks oxygen from getting to your brain, which gives them the high.”

One of the new drugs of choice is ketamine, which is available over the counter in places like Tijuana, Mexico, and is popular in the southern U.S. “(It was) designed during World War One for amputees in the trenches to disconnect their brain from the pain” in essence, said Hollihan.

Today, however, a teenager experimenting with the same drug will exhibit some very odd behaviour.

“Their mind is not connecting with their body,” said Hollihan, describing ‘moonwalking’ (“and no, I am not talking about Michael Jackson,”) where the user will take very slow, exaggerated, deliberate steps, while walking.

On the horizon Another drug on the horizon that Hollihan is on the lookout for is “bath salts,” (synthetic Cathinones).

“We had a case with a kid in Carleton Place who was on bath salts,” said Hollihan. Even though “he was freaking out in hospital,” lifting up staffers far larger than his 150 pounds, because the drug was so new on the scene at the time, nothing came back in the toxicology reports linking him to the drug – since there were no tests, as yet, to look for it. The drug works as a stimulant on the central nervous system and they are harder to regulate since “they are labeled ‘Not for Human Consumption,’ (so) that is to get around the regulations.”

They can sell anywhere from $25 to $75 (U.S.) per 50 mg packet online.

“There is no quality control on these, because they are not for human consumption,” said Hollihan.

While Hollihan is always looking for physical signs of substance abuse, it’s not what people perceive to be the obvious signs that signal her.

“It’s not bloodshot eyes, it is pink in the white of the eyes,” she said. Eyelid tremors are another good hint. “This is a great one if you have teenagers.”

While parents may not want their children taking illicit drugs, some young people are learning by example, with their parents, at the same time, doping them up for problems like attention deficit disorder. Though not intentional, sometimes those same children recognize the same drugs they were given when they were younger as something more potent.

“People are often surprised that Ritalin is in here,” said Hollihan, pointing to a list of drugs, along with cocaine, khat, and amphetamines.

“What you are giving your kid is a stimulant? These kids are sometimes not taking them. They share them with friends…(and) by crushing them (the pills) they are breaking down that time release.”

While the new Oxy Neo, the replacement for Oxy Contin, is said to be harder to break down, like Ritalin, “Google (it and) you can find five different ways to break down Oxy Neo,” and ingest it, like users used to do with Oxy Contin.

Hollihan also revealed that some illicit drugs are, frankly, revolting, and while drug experimentation is not to be

encouraged, sometimes, the situation sorts itself out, as it did locally with jimson weed.

“We had a few kids who tried it here a few summers ago,” said Hollihan. “It is a terrible high and they never touch it again.”

On the other hand, one of the bad things to come out of the ’90s rave scene has returned to the area.

“We see a lot of ecstasy in the Carleton Place area,” said Hollihan.

“We see a lot of it coming in from Ottawa.”

Because the room was filled with people who work with drug addicted people all the time, Hollihan cautioned them that, just because someone may not appear responsive, alert, or even awake, on some drugs, they are still lucid enough to hear conversations.

“Officers have been caught saying not nice about people,” in their custody, thinking that they were stoned out of reality. “But they are hearing everything you say.”

And because they heard all of the unpleasant things said about them, it’s almost not surprising that they are then less cooperative in the police investigation.

While parents and teachers may find new technology baffling – and youngsters take to it with ease and abandon – when it comes to discovering what pills your children may be popping, yes, there really is an app for that, with a pill finder app.

“I found a white pill with Playboy bunny ears in my kid’s closet, what is it?” asked Hollihan.

they must do when driving.”

Sometimes, the driver simply rolling down the window and asking “Anything the matter officer?” is enough to raise her suspicions.

“If there is any odour of alcohol, we go right away for the breathalyzer,” said Hollihan. If the driver blows over 80, they are charged right away.

However, Hollihan is also alive to the fact that a driver’s slurred speech and lack of coordination may be part of a more permanent problem.

“We’ve had situations where people have (had) undiagnosed brain tumours or were diabetics” and didn’t know it.

Hollihan was speaking at the municipal drug strategy networking session on March 1, at the Brunton Community Hall, Blacks Corners, Beckwith Township. She noted how hard it is to contend with teenage drivers, the lure of drugs and alcohol, and the volatile mix they make.

Sadly, many teens just have to look at their parents for a bad example.

Twice as many teenagers say they have driven a car after taking drugs or alcohol. About 40 per cent admit to having been driven by someone while high, and about 20 per cent of teens say they have used prescription drugs to get high – with three fourths of that number saying that they stole the drugs from their parent’s medicine cabinet at home.

“You can get Prozac for your dog now, for separation anxiety, that’s how common they are,” said Hollihan.

“Soccer moms are addicted to Dust Off…the accelerant gives them a high.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As warmer temperatures and some precipitation are being forecast for the next five days, flows are expected to increase in smaller creeks and ditches.

No significant flooding is anticipated at this time, however, we encourage residents to continue to warn their children about the dangers of playing on or near ice covered surfaces or fast flowing water in ditches and smaller creeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The average water content in the snow pack across the watershed in mid-March was approximately 60 per cent above the historical norm which could lead to an above average risk of flooding.

However, severe flooding in this watershed is largely dependent on rainfall combined with snowmelt.

So far, the weather has cooperated and the snow pack is slowly being depleted,â&#x20AC;&#x153; says Gord Mountenay, the Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) water management supervisor.

Ice conditions on area waterways will continue to deteriorate with the warmer weather and area residents are advised that no one should be venturing out onto ice covered waterways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The potential for ice jams will increase as the flows increase so residents along the rivers should pay close attention to what is happening in the river over the next few weeks,â&#x20AC;? Mountenay cautions.

Residents in low lying areas are advised to ensure their sump pumps are working and take the necessary steps

You might die laughing at Studio Theatre’s upcoming production EMC Entertainment – Get ready for ‘$38,000 For a Friendly Face,’ the new play by North Bay’s Kristin Shepherd, premiering at Perth’s Studio Theatre April 18. Here’s a taste of what you can expect from this black comedy about life and death at a funeral parlour, courtesy of the rhyming talents of director Roberta Peets.

There once were two sisters, apart Who didn’t have much of a heart For their mother, who’d died.

Even with more time, G.I. Joe sequel manages to fall short MOVIE: G.I. Joe: Retaliation STARRING: Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, Adrianne Palicki, Lee Byung-hun, Ray Park, D.J. Cotorna, Jonathon Pryce, Ray Stevenson and Bruce Willis DIRECTOR: Jon M. Chu RATING: PG EMC Entertainment - The movie studio held G.I. Joe: Retaliation for a year so it could be ‘re-tooled’ which is code for we just had three bombs at the box office and can’t afford a fourth. I can see why they held it, but I’m not sure it was worth the wait.

Duke (Channing Tatum) leads the Joes on a successful mission to retrieve some nuclear weapons from an enemy state. It’s just as the Joes are getting ready to head home that they’re attacked. When the dust settles the only Joes left alive are Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Lady Jane (Adrianne Palicki) and

www.RoebuckHall.ca

Flint (D.J. Cotorna).

The whole mission was a set-up orchestrated by the President of the United States (Jonathon Pryce) to frame and wipe out the Joes.

Of course the President is really Cobra operative Zartan who’s working under the direction of Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey).

Taking out the Joes wasn’t the end game, but a step in their larger plan to take over the world.

The three Joes have to stop Cobra, but they can’t do it on their own. Fortunately Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and his protégé Jinx (Elodie Yung) are still in the field tracking Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun).

Roadblock also calls on retired general Joe Colton (Bruce Willis) for some extra firepower. They aren’t many, but they’re all the world has.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation might have a few more scenes with

My Take MARK HASKINS

Channing Tatum, and is newly dressed up in 3-D, but it doesn’t meet expectations. I’ll start with the good because the film isn’t a compete wash. There’s a few slick action scenes, and some amazing special effects that bring all those wonderful toys to life. Dwayne Johnson is born to play Roadblock.

Tatum is short lived but great as Duke. I like Arianne Palicki as Lady Jane. Ray Park and Lee Byung-hun are perfect adversaries.

Jonathon Pryce is a brilliant villain, and adding Bruce Willis in as the original Joe is genius. It’s a great

Baby should visit dentist after first birthday Happy first birthday, Baby! Who’s your dentist? Hmmm…maybe not the top thing on a one-year-old’s mind, but did you know that babies should see a dental health professional by age one?

The Canadian Dental Association recommends that all children see a dental health professional by age one.

This helps to spot potential problems at early stages when treatment is most simple. Baby teeth can decay quickly, and are very important for a child’s speech and nutrition.

This first dental appointment can seem overwhelming to parents, especially if they have any anxiety surrounding the issue themselves. Having your little one see a dentist early helps to develop a worry-free dental relationship, and save money.

What can you expect at that first appointment? Baby will most likely be in your arms while the dentist or dental hygienist has a look in their mouth.

They will lift up the lip to check the front teeth and look for any signs of decay. This is a great time to ask any questions you may have, such as how and when to clean baby’s mouth, what are tooth-friendly snacks, and talk about fluoride. They may discuss how to reduce the risk of decay for your baby and provide a quick and easy fluoride varnish if needed.

Tooth decay is the second most common childhood disease. Seeking dental care early can prevent this problem and give your child a lifetime of healthy smiles. Call your dental provider today to book that first appointment. If you do not have a family dental provider, contact the Health Unit at 1-800-6605853.

Want to know if your baby is at risk for decay? Go to www.healthunit.org and click on the interactive quiz to help you decide. Like our Facebook page for important public health updates.

Local group moves forward despite setback

By SABINE GIBBINS sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC News – It’s back to the drawing board for members of the Burritts Rapids Renewable Energy Association (BRREA).

An initial feasibility study found the Burritts Rapids Community Hydro Project is not economically viable under the current conditions.

But as BRREA chair Mary Hegan explains, the community is more determined than ever to make this project work.

“They want to help, they want to try to do what they can to assist in the project,” she said.

“They’re determined to make this work. That’s the best kind of response we could hope for.”

GENIVAR was selected by the BRREA, a non-profit association run entirely by volunteers, to determine if the project to build a small hydro power generating station along the Rideau River – at the site of the existing Burritts Rapids dam – is technically and economically feasible.

The community association received $51,250 from the Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation to initiate a feasibility study, to apply for a FIT contract, and to obtain liability insurance. Using the existing hydrological and hydraulics characteristics of the site, a technology assessment was conducted to select suitable technologies for this project, as well as projected preliminary estimates and costs.

It was ultimately revealed at the BRREA AGM on March 20

that the dam’s drop would have to be at least three meters high for the renewable energy project to work and be economically viable for the community, said Hegan.

Parks Canada actually owns the Burritts Rapids dam and associated locks, and has been a staunch supporter of the project from the beginning, she added, as have representatives from North Grenville and the City of Ottawa. As Hegan explains, the BRREA was incorporated on Feb. 1, 2010 after a community meeting saw the need for such an organization.

The BRREA was a result of what was formerly a working committee group within the Burritts Rapids Community Association, but was formed into an organization. Their focus is primarily on the development of a micro-hydro generation from the water flow within the village starting at the dam.

The vision, energy, and activities of the BRREA stem from the hard work of community volunteers over the past four years, said Hegan. “With this project, our community is going to benefit from it long-term,” said Hegan. “It will supply power to 150 homes and enable us to fund other community initiatives, services and events, and run the community centre. But it also makes us more energy self-sufficient as a community.”

The community continues to have a significant role and control over the hydro project.

Community rallies to help family after fire

By SABINE GIBBINS sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC News - When Kristine Lambert heard one of her parttime staffer's family's home had been ravaged by a fire, she knew she had to do something.

"You have no idea how much people want to help," she said.

Lambert and her husband own The Old Co-op Store in North Gower. One of their employees, Brad Fumerton, and his family, found out on Wednesday their family home was damaged by a fire.

Fire chief Paul Hutt said North Grenville Fire Service responded

See BURRITTS page K2

to the working fire at 2406 County Road 18 Wednesday morning.

Fire crews arrived to find a fully engulfed two-storey residential home.

No one was home at the time, and no one was injured.

North Grenville Fire Service continues to investigate the fire cause and origin, but it is not deemed suspicious.

Gone are most of the family's belongings, including clothes and furniture.

Lambert is asking for people to drop off new or gently used clothing or other items to donate to the family.

The store is in the process of

setting up a donation fund for the Fumertons, but in the meantime, customers and the community can drop off donations (monetary and otherwise) at the store.

"They really do need the help," she said. "They're just such nice people. They don't deserve this."

And help has been pouring in, said Lambert. From the outset, the community has banded together to help a family in need, she said, and it goes to show the amount of caring and support North Gower and Kemptville have.

"We did not expect all of this to happen," she said of the donations.

"If we can get something more

going, that would be great."

While the Fumerton family is asking for privacy at this time, Lambert said 17 year-old Brad is keeping it together well.

"He is concerned for his younger siblings, but he came into the store (last week) and said 'We're all together in this'," she said.

"He has a very positive attitude in light of what happened. This just goes to show you how strong of a 17-year-old he is."

“If we can help alleviate some of the stress, then that's great.”

For more information, please call The Old Co-op Store at 613489-7333.

BURRITTS In turn, the project builds community leadership and reputation for producing local renewable energy which is carbon-free, environmentally and financially sound.

The engineering studies at the Burritts Rapids Dam site indicate that the flow and low head will produce approximately 1.8 to 1.9 GWh of electricity per year using the most appropriate generating technology currently available for this site.

Their executive summary states, “In conclusion, using the data collected for this study and based on the estimated construction and operation costs and the usual commercial terms considered for such hydro projects, it seems the project cannot

be considered economically viable under the current conditions.”

“Given that the Burritts Rapids Renewable Energy Association is a not-forprofit community organization, it may have the ability to address the financial challenges by partnering with public sector organizations to find alternative financial and funding options.”

Nevertheless, the community is committed to moving forward., especially when it comes to exploring new opportunities to make the project more economically viable for the community.

“We’ll apply the findings of the feasibility study to what our next steps are going to be in moving forward,” said Hegan.

The Kemptville Youth Centre Team would like to invite everyone to their Open House April 25 to thank the community for their support.

In 2012, Kemptville Youth Centre had 81 volunteers investing their time on the board, on committees, at fundraisers and volunteering with youth activities.

Forty of these volunteers were youth.

These volunteers along with three staff members worked tirelessly to put together everything that was needed to serve almost 400 North Grenville youth with quality programming, activities and role models.

These activities and role models are necessary to make the difference in the potential of local youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main goal of youth centres is to give youth many hours of activities and programming with safe and screened volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With programs such as ours at Kemptville Youth Centre, we are giving our youth the gift of better self-esteem, improved body image and resilience building as well as strengthening our community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our volunteers are the biggest part in helping us make this happen.â&#x20AC;? stated Robin Heald, Executive Director of Kemptville Youth Centre.

SAFETY TIPS Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately. Some homes are equipped with electrically-connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a battery-operated smoke alarm on every level.

The biggest obstacle in running a rural youth centre is accessibility for youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have your own vehicle and a clean driving record, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear from you,â&#x20AC;? noted Heald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could work with our staff to coordinate your driving schedule, transporting youth to and from Kemptville Youth Centre events. Some of you believe in our mission but prefer to make an impact behind the scene, not working directly with teens? The Kemptville Youth Centre Team gets that. They have great opportunities that will allow you to have a big impact on our operations and on our bottom line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have strong organizational skills and a great phone manner, why not assist our staff with filing, mailing, data entry, answering phones and clerical duties as an Administrative Volunteer?â&#x20AC;?

The Kemptville Youth Centre raises money and community awareness through a variety of special events.

Special Event Volunteers help at activities, which are often held on evenings and weekends.

Do you enjoy networking and have strong public speaking and communication skills? The youth centre could use your talents to raise awareness about the

organization and secure the funding required for its operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you would enjoy assisting in the creation and implementation of fundraising strategy, securing sponsorship and funding opportunities with Kemptville and surrounding area businesses and from private citizens and community groups, then give us a shout.â&#x20AC;?

How about putting your writing and research skills and excellent command of the English language to good use?

Kemptville Youth Centre needs a special volunteer to locate and pursue grant applications to secure funds for the continuing operations of our facility and its programs.

Are you handy? Good with tools?

Why not call for a tour of The Kemptville Youth Centre.

There may be an odd job or two that you have some unique skills to help us create a space that youth can be proud of. Many volunteer opportunities can be seen on The Kemptville Youth Centre website http://www.kemptvilleyc.com.

If you have your own ideas of how you could make a difference on our team, call The Kemptville Youth Centre at 613-258-5212. Robin would be happy to discuss your involvement.

Volunteer opportunities The Kemptville Youth Centre Team is planning their 2013 activities and is in need of more volunteers to create all of the magic that is needed in and around the Kemptville Youth Centre.

If you have an ability to connect with youth, to get them smiling when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down, to just hang out with them and have them easily accept you; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re approachable and easy to talk to, youth could use your support.

They may see you as a role model to emulate, inspiration for their passions or encouragement to define and seek their life goals.

If this is you, then Kemptville Youth Centre would love to pair you up with one of their youth volunteers.

Drop-in Volunteers assist in different afternoon and evening drop-in programs offered for youth aged 12-18.

Offsite, Overnight and Special Activity Volunteers engage with youth but have limited time.

Check out the Kemptville Youth Centre program calendar on their website to see which activities would suit your schedule.

Accompany youth on a field trip, share some popcorn during an overnight movie marathon, participate and moderate a role playing game night...Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all great fun and it would be even better

Local MPP joins PC colleagues in push for review of OLG decision Among the areas the motion asks the Auditor General to investigate are: â&#x20AC;˘ whether a clear, consistent, fair and transparent process was used for proposed gaming sites; â&#x20AC;˘ if host-city-payment agreements are equal across the board and that no municipalities were offered a special deal; â&#x20AC;˘ whether mental health and addictions concerns in new host communities were given adequate consideration; and â&#x20AC;˘ if OLG and the government have done enough consultation to ensure new gaming facilities are actually welcome in potential host communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very clear and direct motion that will finally give us the answers weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been seeking about the OLG modernization ever since it was announced,â&#x20AC;? said Clark, who added he has been frustrated in his repeated attempts to get answers from the

Premier during Question Period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly hoping the Liberals and NDP support it.â&#x20AC;?

Unlike the NDP motion passed in the Legislature last week (with Ontario PC support), Clark noted the PC committee motion is binding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to ignore this one, as I fear will happen with the NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also wondering why the NDP is so late to the game. Rural Ontario needed them to stand up against the government during

last Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget vote. Ontario PCs did, but the NDP sat on their hands and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why this process moved ahead.â&#x20AC;?

The PC motion to bring in the Auditor General is just the latest effort by the party to stand up for rural Ontario and communities like Gananoque and Leeds and the Thousand Islands.

It comes just weeks after the release of the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest policy discussion paper, Respect for Rural Ontario, which called for a halt to the OLG modernization.

MPP Steve Clark says the Auditor General must be brought in to investigate the Liberal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to cancel the Slots-at-Racetracks Program and build 29 new casinos under the OLG modernization plan. jobs would be devastating to the economy in Gananoque and Leeds and the Thousand Islands Township, stressed Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residents deserve the assurance that the process is

fair and above-board and that the government and OLG are truly considering the impact on existing host communities and on the residents of potential host locations,â&#x20AC;? said Clark.

EMC News - The Auditor General must be brought in to investigate the Liberal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to cancel the Slots-at-Racetracks Program (SARP) and build 29 new casinos under the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modernization plan, says LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been calling on the McGuinty-Wynne government to back away from its plan to pull the plug on the profitable partnership that gave the horse-racing industry a share of slots revenue,â&#x20AC;? Clark notes in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, with the agreement set to end March 31, 60,000 jobs including more than 1,000 here in Leeds-Grenville, hang in the balance.â&#x20AC;?

Ontario PCs tabled a binding motion in committee this week calling for the Auditor General to look into whether the government acted properly in cancelling SARP. The motion, to be debated April 10, also asks that the investigation include whether the government fully considered the economic impact on rural Ontario communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an important motion for Leeds-Grenville because it also asks the Auditor General to look into OLGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casino proposals, which have threatened the future of the profitable Thousand Islands Casino,â&#x20AC;? said Clark.

Shirley Nichol-Hellam shows off her newest book, entitled ‘Where Bluebirds Fly”, a book primarily inspired by her husband Harold. moved into a small townhouse apartment, yet felt her life was still missing something. That something must have been love, she said.

Her journey to find love began in December 2010, when she conducted two church services – one in which Harold was singing at.

It wasn’t until she heard him sing when she felt an undeniable feeling within her, but she couldn’t put her finger on what it was at first.

After the service, she met Harold, thinking at first he would be nothing more than a friend.

He told her he had moved into a quaint heritage stone home in the hamlet of Heckston, and invited her to drop in one time to see the renovations he had done on it.

Two inseparable years later, their love grows stronger every day.

“We just understand each other,” she said.

The book is a collection of 22 short stories, which, she says all include a surprise ending.

“I’ve always had a very vivid imagination,” she said with a chuckle.

“It’s always gotten me into trouble.”

“Some are love stories, some are just inspirational.

In the book, she writes: “Thank you to my husband Harold for his patience during the time I have written this book and for reading the sto-

ries and encouraging me to continue.”

Although the book is a collection of short stories, the first short story of the book is probably the most significant: it’s the story of how she met Harold, entitled “The Ultimate Love Story”.

“My life is complete,” she wrote.

“I have a wonderful man who loves me and my love for him could not be any stronger. No matter what life throws our way, we know that we will survive. I thank God every day for the blessing he has given us and for the love that Harold and I share.”

Nichol-Hellam hopes readers will enjoy her book as much as she enjoyed writing it.

The difference between this book and her previous ones is that most of her stories in the past have been true, but this one is purely fiction - except for the first one.

If there is one part of the writing process she loved the most, it’s the endings.

But perhaps it’s also the partnership she shared with Harold during the creation of the book.

“We have had fun together,” she said with a smile.

“It was wonderful to work with him.”

EMC News – Shirley Nichol-Hellam’s grandest wish is for everyone to have a “bluebird of happiness”.

She experienced just this, literally, two years ago on her wedding day, when suddenly she and her husband were pleasantly surprised when two pairs of bluebirds swooped in to take an extra seat at her wedding.

The pastor fell in love with the song, “Bluebird of Happiness”, after her husband Harold Hellam, a renowned tenor who has performed across Canada and the United States, sang it for her when they dated, and then again on their wedding day.

Truly, the “bluebird of happiness” has provided Nichol-Hellam with a new look on life, one with everlasting love.

The bluebird is the resounding theme of the Heckston resident’s newest book of short stories – “Where Bluebirds Fly”.

Brewed Awakenings in Kemptville will be hosting Nichol-Hellam’s book launch this Saturday afternoon, from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., where she’ll meet with the local residents and sign books.

Ever since she can remember, Nichol-Hellam has always loved to write.

The first book she released was “Angels On My Windowsill”, a book dedicated to the House of Lazarus.

The book was so popular and there were so many more stories to tell she wrote a second one.

“I started out writing short stories,” she said.

“Usually it was just things that happened at the Mission, the stories and such.”

She found she couldn’t stop writing.

Her next book was a topic near and dear to her heart: her family.

“I have quite a large family, and I decided I wanted to write the stories down so my family could look back and remember them, especially for my grandchildren.”

Nichol-Hellam has five grown children, 15 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren.

Her first book on her family, “Leaves From Our Family Tree”, is compiled of true short stories and was written eight years ago.

“There is something in there for each family member,” she said.

She is currently at work on her second book, “More Leaves From Our Family Tree”.

Nichol-Hellam says the process for writing her books begins on lined paper, with a pen, and is then transferred to the computer, where she will edit.

“I can’t sit down in front a computer and write a full-length story,” she said.

“I just feel like there is no pressure. Your mind really works when you’re not pressured to work.

cartoon logo, or an Ottawa Senators logo, though, in Hawkesbury, Dobler saw that Montreal Canadiens logos were selling better.

While he takes his job seriously, Dobler admitted that there are unintentionally lighter moments undercover, and he has to watch what he says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially when using drug terminology. In Ottawa, for example, the street lingo for marijuana is â&#x20AC;&#x153;herbâ&#x20AC;?. In parts of the Ottawa Valley, however, it can be â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenâ&#x20AC;?.

During one undercover operation, Dobler asked some dealers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, got any

herb?â&#x20AC;?

This question garnered him some nervous, shifty looks from his potential sellers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you talking about?â&#x20AC;? they said, not familiar with the term herb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you a cop?â&#x20AC;?

Dobler also updated the assembled on different drug terminology that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school students might use, and even have on their clothing, binders or backpacks, such as S.W.E.D. (Smoke Weed Every Day) or 4:20 (the time in the afternoon when tokers like to sneak off work early for a joint.)

While teenagers will always want to tweak the nose of authority, Dobler has less time for the perception that Canada is soft on drugs compared to other countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada was known as a place where you could go to grow marijuana,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the best pot in the world, hands down, so, something to be proud of,â&#x20AC;? he said sarcastically.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even less of a laughing matter when the drug scourge touches oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own family, as it did with Dobler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My nephew, he was approached to see if he wanted to smoke marijuana,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is in Grade 6.â&#x20AC;?

Installing a carbonmonoxide alarm near the sleeping areas of your home will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas. It is a good idea to invest in a batteryoperated alarm that will continue to work during power failures.

Two ice rinks, a theatre, several meeting rooms and more Come and Visit your Municipal Centre

R0012014534_0404

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a good thing if you do recognize Detective Constable Steve Rothwell in his work clothes.

Because if you recognize him in his other, undercover work clothes, then he probably has some questions to ask you.

Rothwell describes part of his job as walking around with â&#x20AC;&#x153;my hat on backwards, in my jeans, trying to find out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going in the county,â&#x20AC;? drug-wise.

Being a cop, both undercover and in uniform, was not always his day job either. He worked for 20 years as a mechanic in Carleton Place before joining the drug unit in town.

Both Rothwell and Detective Sgt. Chris Dobler of the organized crime enforcement bureau in Ottawa, were on hand at the municipal drug strategy committee networking session on Friday, March 1, at the Brunton Community Hall, Blacks Corners, Beckwith Township. They were there to lift the lid a little on how they do their job to catch the crooks and dealers preying on the vulnerable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a bit of a drugosaurus,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler with a laugh, of his 12 years in the drugs unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not going anywhere.â&#x20AC;?

Dobler said he was heartened to see so many people together in one place, talking openly, honestly, and constructively about how to deal with the scourge of drugs. This was necessary not only because it is the right thing to do, but also because it is what the other side is doing too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The criminals, they are working together,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not where the Hells Angels work alone.

They are with the mafia, the Jamaicans and Asian gangs.â&#x20AC;?

While the criminals never really change, the drug of the day most certainly does, and the chase is always on to catch on to the next big thing, and to bring our lurching laws along in to catch up. Nowadays, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;bath salts,â&#x20AC;? that are the problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are seeing that now,â&#x20AC;? admitted Dobler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are getting a lot of bath salt seizures.â&#x20AC;?

Bath salts have just recently been â&#x20AC;&#x153;codeified,â&#x20AC;? for enforcement as a controlled substance, but the first cases using these laws are only getting to court now. Certain mandatory minimum

sentences in the Criminal Code also came into effect this past November, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the effects of that yet,â&#x20AC;? on drug cases.

He did point out that, before the changes in sentencing, a bust of 40,000 marijuana plants in Petawawa netted the perpetrator five years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whereas the same crime in the United States would have resulted in a life sentence.

Hash is also making a comeback in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brown, tar-like substance,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as strong.â&#x20AC;?

Other well-known drugs are seeing resurgence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crack is very dangerous but speed (amphetamine) is just the ultimate drug in destroying peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler, with one tablet costing as little as $5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For $5 you will feel like you can take on the whole world.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 10 out of 10. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing it in pill form. Down in Kingston, we are seeing crystal meth. Speed, there is definitely an influx of thatâ&#x20AC;Ś we are seeing Fentanyl here.â&#x20AC;?

In a dozen years dealing with drugs, Dobler has seen the scene change in scary ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twelve years ago, it would be very rare if we saw a needle at a search warrant,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, it comes across all the time.â&#x20AC;?

The only thing that does not change is the greed of the criminals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no loyalty, they (drug dealers) are not your best friend,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler.

For them, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the money.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for drug abusers to believe they can trust their dealer, they also believe other incorrect information, like marijuana being relatively harmless.

Dobler showed a T-shirt with a smoker lighting up, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marijuana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hey, at least itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not crack.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what a marijuana user thinks,â&#x20AC;? said Dobler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good Lord put it on the earth.â&#x20AC;?

Debates about marijuanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usefulness, medicinal and otherwise aside, marijuanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production and distribution is still controlled by the criminal element, and as such, there is no quality control, so to speak.

Addictive elements are often added to the mix to hook users simply looking for a high.

Drug suppliers will also tweak other drugs to boost their bottom line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The coke (cocaine) we are seeing in the schools, it

The GMO debate lives on

EMC Editorial – Are genetically modified foods good for us? Or are they just another way for the rich to get richer?

U.S. President Barack Obama signed this week, The Monsanto Protection Act bill that will protect agriculture giants that deal with GMOs and genetically engineered seeds. These agriculture companies, like Monsanto, will continue to plant and sell man-made crops, despite not knowing the real risks to humans. How long before some sort of seed-control bill will be passed in Canada?

What is Monsanto? Or who?

According to their website, they sell seeds – seeds that have been developed with biotechnology and crop protection chemicals. “It’s our purpose to help farmers grow as much food as they have in the past 10,000 years combined.”

They help farmers grow “more with less” and say they help conserve resources like soil and water.

“And to improve lives.”

The very farmers that Monsanto says it is here to help are up in arms over genetically modified (GM) alfalfa and they are taking their concerns to Ottawa. Led by Jeff Greenberg of Greenwood Organics in Tay Valley Township, the group of Lanark County farmers will be converging on the Ottawa headquarters of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) offices Tuesday, April 9.

Once GM alfalfa is planted, cross contamination is highly likely and therefore, farmers won’t be able to sell their product as organic, or GMO free. In its natural state, alfalfa is a pretty good grass to keep weeds at bay. There really is no need to spray it with chemicals.

In a world where people are more concerned about food labels, finding organically grown pro-

duce will become more difficult to detect, much less purchase.

GM foods approved in Canada since 1994, according to Eat Right Ontario, include corn, lentils, potatoes, rice, soybeans, squash, tomatoes, wheat and canola, but before they can be sold in Canada, Health Canada ensures its safe for consumption. CFIA says whether or not it’s safe for the environment as well.

Not all GM foods are labeled, however, as the CFIA says, it’s difficult, as GM corn for example can be used in many other products, like cereals, soup, frozen dinners… etc.

If Europe has mandatory food labeling, then why can’t Canada or the U.S.?

As a consumer, the best we can do to keep the foods on our shopping list in its most natural state is to shop the perimeter of the store where the fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, breads and dairy products are sold. Look for organic produce.

Outside of the grocery store, you can become more self-sustaining. Grow your own fruits and vegetables, support your local food markets and ask the vendors questions. Experts in food preparation, harvesting and growing are all around us.

You can also call the food company and ask them questions about what is in their products. Visit specialty stores where their products are labeled GMO free.

Contact Health Canada or the CFIA and let them know you would like GM foods to be labeled. You can also write your MP or MPP and bring your concerns to them.

We all deserve a right to know what we’re eating and we all need to be accountable to ourselves and our families.

And so it begins once more

E

MC Lifestyle - Winter lambing is very difficult. Your survival rate goes way down because the little lambs are fighting so hard to keep warm if they are weak to begin with, they don’t stand a chance. It can be pretty depressing. The last winter lambing season we had was so brutal; we vowed to never do it again.

So come August, we lock up the rams.

As soon as the summer heat begins to wane, the ewes go into season. Rambo and Philip normally ‘catch’ one or two of the women before we remember to put them away. Those lambs are born at Christmas before it gets bitterly cold, which isn’t too bad. This year we managed to get the rams put away before they caught any of the girls. But Rambo refused to stay caught. He jumped out of his pen every chance he got. It was very strange behavior; the Farmer has had him since before he had his Farmwife, and doesn’t remember him acting this way before. Anyway, there was a simple solution. Give Rambo a roomie.

Or two.

The two ewes that kept Rambo company through his purgatory months must have waited until about November to go

into heat. In December we let the rams out and they impregnated the rest of the herd. A couple weeks ago, Rambo’s roomies gave birth. The first ewe caught us off guard. She wasn’t showing much of an udder so we didn’t realize she was ready to go. I felt awful when my husband told me over lunch that the ewe gave birth to twins in the cold, open part of the barn. Only one survived. And he didn’t think it was going to last long, either. I hurried home from work that day.

Out in the cozy lambing room I found the ewe with her remaining lamb. She called to me as soon as I entered the room. As I approached the pen, the mama stood protectively over her baby, which was sprawled awkwardly on its side under a heat lamp. I was relieved to

see that at least she had good maternal instincts.

I gave the lamb a rub and stood him on his feet. He flopped down a few times before he finally found his footing, leaning against his patient mother, nose pointed at her hind end. He was very weak. Mama stood quietly, except for intermittent knickering noises and little nudges against his backside with her nose. She wanted him to find the milk.

I looked around and saw the bowl and syringe that the Farmer uses to milk the ewe and feed colostrum to the lamb. I climbed into the pen and attempted to milk the ewe. I couldn’t draw any milk, and she quickly grew tired of my efforts. The lamb lay back down under the light. I gave mama a pat on the head and climbed back out of the pen. I would have to mix up a bottle of milk replacer or the lamb wasn’t going to make it through his first night.

Back at the house, I took a clump of dry milk replacer out of the bag in the basement and brought it upstairs, where I mixed it in a blender with hot water.

Straining the lumps, I filled a baby bottle. Before putting my barn jacket back on, I tucked the bottle into my shirt,

against my chest to keep it just the right temperature.

On the way back to the barn I stopped at the horse stall and scooped some grain into a margarine container. The ewe needed a treat too.

When I entered the lambing room this time, the ewe was silent but staring at me, as if to say “shhh…don’t interrupt…”

I approached slowly and peered into the pen. There, standing on wobbly legs, was a very determined lamb, nursing with great suction power. He lost his grip and quickly latched on again. What

a relief. He was going to be just fine. I went back to the house and put the bottle in the freezer.

A few days later Rambo’s second roomie had her lamb, a strong single.

They posed for photos and hung out in the horse stall until their room was ready.

The remainder of the lambs will come mid-April. Then it will really feel like spring. From April to May, we expect close to 100 lambs to be born.

Drivers need to be educated on roundabouts in Kemptville Dear Editor, Am I the only one who approaches the roundabouts in fear, trepidation and one foot firmly above the brake pedal?

There’s an idiots guide to using roundabouts on the North Grenville website...but the roundaboutchallenged haven’t found it after the past six years.

What do drivers not understand about the yield sign? It’s not a 2, 3 or even 4 way stop. It’s yield, meaning yield to traffic on the roundabout.

Not: give the finger to traffic who don’t stop to let you on, not be the “awfully polite Canadian” who stops at every junction to politely wave every one on in front of her (regardless of the risk of a rear-end shunt caused by her stupid disregard of the rules of the road). Not the tractor-trailer driver who

knows full well the rule of priority, but chooses to ignore it, because he’s bigger than all of us and barges ahead regardless.

Will it take a fatality before safety is taken seriously on Kemptville’s roundabouts?

At the moment it seems that 20 per cent of the population are responsible, so let’s leave the rest of them to take their chance.

And I drive behind the Smart Car who stops at every junction to wave people on, the woman who gives me the finger because I don’t stop and wave her on. The ghastly roundabout from the 416, where no one seems to see any roundabout signs, “yield” whatever...not me.

I dread driving in Kemptville, especially on the weekend.

Readers provide update on Andrewsville bridge Dear Editor, The Andrewsville Bridge has been re-opened to vehicular traffic as of Friday March 15, 2013.

There is a height restriction barrier of 2.4 m and is restricted to a load limit of 5 Tonne.

The people spoke, and the councils of Lanark County and United Counties of Leeds and Grenville listened (I suspect somewhat reluctantly) but they did the right thing. A huge "Thank you" to Reeve and Lanark County Warden Bill Dobson, who from the start supported us and has worked tirelessly for almost eleven months in support of this grass roots campaign. Thank you Bill. Thanks to Steve Allen, Lanark County Public Works Director and Les Shepherd, UCLG Public Works Director and to all the councillors who supported us in our quest to have the Andrewsville Bridge re-opened to vehicle traffic after having been closed since May 2, 2012.

A heartfelt thanks to all our supporters who signed petitions, planted lawn signs, placed window signs, attended lots of meetings and spoke out on behalf of "Save the Andrewsville Bridge".

Thank you.

The Counties of Lanark and UCLG agreed to spend an equal amount of $50,000 each for a period

of four years. About half of that has already been spent to make some of the repairs to the bridge, install signage and put up height restriction barriers of 2.4 metres on both sides of the bridge. So we are left with approximately $50,000 for the remainder of four years for regular maintenance and inspections.We all agree the money won't last long.

So that is why our job is not over. We need to find some 'big' money; in the region of $400,000.00, to refurbish the bridge. The whole objective is to ensure the bridge lasts for another 25 years and to ensure there is a regularly scheduled maintenance plan in place to protect this valuable piece of infrastructure.We need to engage the support of some grant money, corporate donations or infrastructure money that may be out there, through municipal, provincial or federal funding. We are aware there may be an election in the near future and we will pursue, with the help of our Municipal leaders, funds slated for infrastructure projects including the Andrewsville Bridge. We are open to ideas.

We can still be contacted through andrewsbridge@hotmail.com On behalf of the Friends of Andrewsville Bridge, Val & Byron Morris

GARDENER’S CORNER

Surrey, with the gringe on the top The greenhouses were just a beehive of activity. They are a good month ahead of our season in Ontario. On that afternoon it was bathed in sunlight and hundreds of thousands of seedlings were poking their heads through the potting mix. A sight to get the juices flowing in any gardener.

I began to realize how fortunate we are as Canadians. The biodiversity of this country is as staggering as the landscape. In Eastern Ontario we don’t have the climate to grow rhododendrons to small trees as they do out here but we are not limited to muskeg either. We can grow fruits and vegetables, annuals and perennials and trees to meet all our wants and needs.

There are literally thousands of plants we can grow and enjoy. This trip to the west coast has made me envious of some of the varieties that just would not survive an Ontario winter but it also makes me appreciate the tough little plants that do.

If we could all grow the same things across this country it would be a pretty boring place. When you see fields of wild lupins in the Maritimes, huge stands of pine forest in Northern Ontario, rippling wheat fields on the prairies and deep blue hydrangeas the size of soccer balls on this coast, you get a sense of what a privilege it is to be a gardener in Canada.

For the last week I have been in Surrey, British Columbia trying to help my sister deal with our Mom in a long term care facility and our Dad who is 93 and decided to move. My sister’s health is not the best so this was the perfect storm and I thought it was time to cross the continent.

Now lets talk about storms, or as they call it out here “The Pineapple Express”.

For anyone that has visited the west coast in spring, you’ll know what I mean.

No one out here has a dry pair of shoes.

The shingles are all moss covered and everything is blooming. I’m writing this on March 21 and when the sky cleared for 15 minutes all you could hear was lawn mowers—in March !

The news from home was 20 cm of snow and a raccoon that was trying to kill our ducks. It’s so hard to get your head around. You get on a jet and actually fly north west for five hours and arrive to find daffodils, forsythia and my sister’s camellia in full flower.

Whenever I fly across this country I try to get a window seat. To witness the rugged terrain north of Superior or marvel at all the square section farms on the pool table flat prairies and then to watch as the Rockies rise up in the distance only to descend into the emerald hues of the lower mainland, is a visual feast.

My sister made a special point of taking me out to West Coast Nurseries.

THANK YOU The Farrell family would like to thank everyone who came to celebrate the life of our dear Father, Son, Brother, Uncle and Cousin, Steven Douglas Farrell on Thursday, March 21st, 2013.

It was a great tribute to him and also an absolute honour for his family to see and speak to all those who held him in such high regard. To all those who contributed to the Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation in memory of Steve, we thank you. One thousand dollars for each charity was raised that night in cash alone. We cannot even begin to imagine how much more will be donated through cards and online, and for that, we would like to thank you too. On behalf of Steve, we would like to say that he would have been so pleased to see you all, and would have wished for nothing better than to have a drink with you, a laugh, and to make sure it would have been a night to remember. It certainly was for us.

He attended Dalhousie University and became a Professional Chemist. As part of the war effort he was solicited to join Alcan. He had a wonderful life with Alcan retiring at age 58, and enjoying the camaraderie of that group all thru retirement.

He was an avid outdoorsman, canoeing, canoe racing, fishing and hunting were his passions. He had a lively and analytical mind with a great sense of humour. In his retirement years he became a cowboy. He loved his horses, Kay, Max and Rua the little red roan. He went to the barn every week, sharing riding and lessons with his bevy of ladies.

All are reminded of Bill’s philosophy on ageing—Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting… holy moley! what a ride!

McGOVERN, Jim – In loving memory of a dear husband who passed away April 6, 2012.

A million times I’ve needed you, A million times I’ve cried, If love could have saved you, You never would have died.

Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, My dearest one, I loved you, In a very special way.

If I could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, I’d pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you.

Missing you, Sharron

HELLYER, Nancy – In loving memory of a dear wife who passed away April 5, 2008.

God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, And whispered “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, We watched you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands now rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

It’s lonesome here without you, We miss you more each day, Life doesn’t seem the same, Since you have gone away.

When days are sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.”

Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands, We’ll meet again some day.

Love Doug and family

And I close my eyes to visulaize your face when you were here.

I endure the times we spent together and they are locked inside my heart.

For as long as I have those memories we will never be apart.

Even though we cannot speak any more my voice is always there.

Because every night before I sleep I have you in my prayer.

Sadly missed every day Sam and families

McGOVERN, James – In loving memory of a dear grandfather who passed away April 6, 2012.

In life loved and honoured, In death remembered.

Sadly missed Andrew

ARMSTRONG, Judith, Mildred, 1955-2005 – In loving memory of a dear sister, sister-in-law, aunt and great-aunt who passed away April 7, 2005.

You toiled so hard for those you loved, You said goodbye to none, Your spirit flew before we knew, Your work on earth was done.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore, As time goes by we miss you more.

Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can fill your vacant place.

Your life was love and labor, Your love for your family true, You did the best for all of us, We will always remember you.

Remembered always Brian and Margo Armstrong Randy, Sarah, Tyler and Evan Armstrong, Stephanie (Armstrong), Ryan, Summer and Daylyn Imerson

LEMAY, Dave - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who was tragically taken from us on April 6, 1999.

This month comes with sad regret Brings back a day I will never forget, The blow was great The shock severe, Little I thought the end was near.

No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, And only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell.

You left so suddenly Your thoughts unknown But you left memories I’m to own.

Dearly loved, sadly missed and will always be remembered Terrie, Stacey and Geoff Christopher and Lindsay and grandchildren Owen and Isabelle

School board recently approved new workplace harassment policy EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At the Feb. 27 Committee of the Whole board meeting, the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) approved a new Safe Workplace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Workplace Harassment policy (#226). â&#x20AC;&#x153;This policy demonstrates our commitment to providing a working and learning environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity in accordance with the provisions of The Ontario Human Rights Code and Occupational Health and Safety Act. The key here is that all of our employees are entitled to learn and work in an environment free of harassment and objectionable behaviour,â&#x20AC;? outlined chair Greg Pietersma.

The policy ensures the implementation of measures and procedures to report and deal with incidents and complaints of workplace harassment and to provide workers with information on the contents of the workplace harassment procedures.

All members of the board community are accountable for complying with this policy and procedure and maintaining a harassmentfree environment.

The policy defines harassment as engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome contrary to any ground prescribed by the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Harassment can include sexual harassment as defined pursuant to the code.

Objectionable behaviour is defined as often, but not always, persistent, ongoing, vexatious conduct or communications in any form, of attitudes, beliefs or actions toward an individual in the workplace which might reasonably be known to be unwelcome.

A single serious act or expression can constitute objectionable behaviour.

Objectionable behaviour is not the normal exercise of supervisory responsibilities, including training, direction, instruction, performance appraisal, counselling or discipline.

The policy applies to all board employees, trustees, volunteers, parents, contractors, permit holders, and employees of other organizations not related to the board but who nevertheless work on or are invited onto board premises. This policy covers harassment by such persons which is proven to have repercussions that adversely affect the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working and learning environment.

The policy prohibits reprisals against individuals, acting in good faith, who report incidents of harassment or act as witnesses. The board shall take all reasonable and practical measures to prevent reprisal, threats of reprisal or further harassment.

Submitted by the UCDSB.

Hillier introduces act to honour Constitution Day EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Randy Hillier, MPP for LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington, introduced an Act to Proclaim Constitution Day March 28.

As a matter of happenchance, March 29 was the day that both the British North America Act, 1867 and the Canada Act, 1982 received Royal Assent. The two most important documents in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitutional history were adopted on the very same day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a significant event and should be recognized by our province,â&#x20AC;? said MPP Hillier.

Hillier also noted that he recently found a copy of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school entrance exam from 1925. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exam required pupils to list every aspect of the BNA Act. How many people could do that today?â&#x20AC;? he said.

According to research conducted by Abacus Data for the Canadian Constitution Foundation, 80% of high school graduates cannot

correctly answer what the four founding provinces of Canada are. Ninety-three per cent of high school graduates do not know that the Constitution of Canada does not include property rights. Fifty-four per cent of high school graduates couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify July 1st, 1867 as the day the British North America Act came into effect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our survey shows the disappointing lack of knowledge that Canadians have about our Constitution,â&#x20AC;? said the Canadian Constitution Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, Chris Schafer.

The Canadian Constitution Foundation runs programs to educate Canadians about Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Constitution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In many countries around the world, a constitution day is recognized. Ontario should follow their lead.â&#x20AC;?

R0012009282_0404

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soon time to chow down, North Grenville.

And give back to the children and youth of the community.

The third annual Kemptville Ribfest, hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville (BBBS), is slated for a three-day rib-tastic weekend, starting on Friday, June 14 and running until Sunday, June 16 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre.

Admission is free.

As Lindsay Butcher-Dodds, director of strategic initiatives with BBBS of Leeds and Grenville, explains, this year the organizing team hopes to attract upwards of 20,000 people to the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest fundraising endeavour. The event is extra special as it takes place over the Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? she noted.

All proceeds from the event go directly to help fund the high-quality mentoring programs offered by BBBS and provided currently to more than 150 children and youth in the North Grenville community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to provide a mentor for every child,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This year, the organizing committee announced two major additions to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installment. Title sponsor Tallman Truck Centre Ltd., who are celebrating their 40th anniversary, is coming on board and joins a growing list of community sponsors, said Butcher-Dodds.

The second new addition to the event is a North Grenville Vendor Village, where for three days, local non-food businesses can get a booth to show off their merchandise and products.

6 p.m. on the Saturday.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champions was the Kemptville Fire Department.

The weekend-long event will kick off on Friday evening with Big Time ProWrestling at 7 p.m., with kids activities taking place throughout the weekend with live music, a beach volleyball tournament, as well as a boat and ATV show.

The second annual Kemptville Youth Centre breakfast will kick Saturday into high gear (tickets can be purchased at www.kemptvilleyc.com.)

On Sunday, the Upper Canada School Board District will host their annual Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk.

Live music this year will come from local acts Mark Bergman, the Otis Good Band, and the Fabulous Belairs on Friday; Full Nelson, Steel Gray Band and Swithgear on Saturday, and on Sunday, Healy and Orr. Butcher-Dodds said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to seeing the number of families and community-minded individuals attend the fun-filled event. She hopes the event will also shine a spotlight on the many programs and services BBBS offers, and educate the public on why theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in existence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for BBBS,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come for the fun atmosphere, come for the good food. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great time to get together with friends and family. We try to talk throughout the event about BBBS and tell people what we do.â&#x20AC;? Volunteers are still required to help make this event a success, and can contact Lindsay Butcher-Dodds at 613258-4440 or email her at lindsay.butcher@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca.

Two creeks to get trail upgrades and interpretive signage EMC News - South Nation Conservation, South Dundas Township and the DIAMONDS Conservation Land Trust are hosting a public meeting April 9 to discuss upgrades at Two Creeks Forest Conservation Area located in South Dundas.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the South Dundas municipal hall in Williamsburg.

SNC has received $25,000 through the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund to cover the cost of the project that’ll enhance 4.5 km of existing trail and promote natural heritage features contributing to a healthy Great Lakes Basin.

“We’re looking for volunteers to help implement improvements to the Two Creeks trail and to install interpretive signage,” said Josee Brizard, SNC Team Leader, Forest Resources.

“It’s a chance for area residents to get outside in the spring and get close to their natural environment,” Brizard noted, adding that volunteers need only dress appropriately; necessary equipment will be supplied.

“Two Creeks is a public property and this is an opportunity for stakeholders -

members of the public - to demonstrate their interest.”

Two Creeks is 500 acres of natural heritage land along County Road 2 between Morrisburg and Iroquois. It was acquired with the help of Ontario Heritage Trust and Lafleche Wetland Trust Fund after Domtar Inc. ceased operations in Cornwall and disposed of its woodlots several years ago.

Features include two tributaries of the St. Lawrence River, a provincially significant wetland, and more than 300 plant and animal species in nine distinct ecosystems.

“It’s a natural jewel that, thankfully, has been taken over by SNC for the public good,” Brizard explained. “Because of that, it’ll be protected in perpetuity.”

While hunting and motorized vehicles are prohibited, recreational opportunities abound in Two Creeks Forest Conservation Area. With location signage on the county road, a parking lot, and new footbridges, the acreage is accessible to most naturalists.

To blanch or not to blanch...

Food science professor explains process to help keep food fresh longer

By DON MERCER

EMC Lifestyle - Preserving the quality of fruits and vegetables is a major concern for gardeners and food processors alike.

Freezing is one of the easiest ways to do this. Unfortunately, many people neglect the key step of “blanching” in this preservation process, and their frozen foods may suffer because of it.

Not only is blanching a simple yet effective way to slow the degradation of frozen foods, but it should also be included as a pre-treatment step when using a home food dehydrator.

The blanching process involves immersing the fruits or vegetables in boiling water for a specified period of time.

Following the short exposure to heat, the produce is plunged into ice-cold water to stop any further cooking which would soften the tissue.

Some of you may use blanching to make it easier to remove the skins or peels from such things as tomatoes or peaches; but this is not all that it accomplishes. When cauliflower is left at room temperature, it will eventually begin to darken to purple and then to black.

This is due to a naturallyoccurring enzyme, polyphenol oxidase, in the tissue of the cauliflower.

Blanching sliced florets of the cauliflower raises their temperature to a level which is sufficient to deactivate the enzyme and halt its negative impact.

In the case of peas and carrots, blanching helps set the colour and slow their softening while frozen.

Blanching is also like pasteurization for fruits and vegetables.

In the pasteurization of milk, a relatively mild, short heattreatment step destroys many of the microorganisms that could otherwise proliferate and cause potential health issues later.

In fruit and vegetable blanching, exposure to boiling water destroys many of the microorganisms on their surfaces.

Without this, serious problems could result when the food is thawed and prepared for consumption.

The actual blanching procedure is not terribly complicated. A large pot of water should be brought to a boil.

Some sources recommend the addition of salt, but this is not required. Small amounts of fruits or vegetables which have been cut into appropriately sized pieces can then be introduced into the boiling water in a strainer.

This will lower the water temperature somewhat. Once the water comes back to the boil, you can start timing the blanching.

Without blanching, the fresh cauliflower in the above photo can darken and become unappealing like the one in the photo below.

At the desired endpoint, the material can be removed using the strainer and immediately immersed in a sink full of icecold water.

It will only take two or three minutes for the temperature to fall sufficiently. Then you can drain the cool produce and blot it with paper towels to remove the excess surface water. By spreading the blanched product on a cookie sheet and placing it in the freezer, you can freeze it fairly quickly.

The frozen product can be put into plastic freezer bags from which the air can be withdrawn before sealing.

Don’t forget to label each bag with the name of its contents and the date it was frozen.

If you simply put the produce into plastic bags and try to freeze them as a large mass, it will take much longer than if you were to

spread it out on a cookie sheet for freezing.

Remember, what you are trying to do is get the fruit or vegetables frozen as quickly as possible, and reduce the time available for the deterioration process to take place.

To find recommended blanching times for specific items, you can consult one of the many books available on preserving food at home, or check various on-line sources.

Having properly prepared your fruits and vegetables for freezing (or drying), you will be able to enjoy high quality foods from your own garden or local market in the months to come.

The top regional boys (Grade 7-8) basketball teams were in Smiths Falls for the inaugural Upper Canada Sports League championship. North Grenville Knights reached the semifinals before dropping a 42-27 decision to BCI.

Kemptville defeated at basketball tournament EMC Sports - The battle of Upper Canada came to an end last Thursday at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute.

Six regional basketball teams, consisting of seventh and eighth graders, competed in the dubbed “tournament of champions” to determine the inaugural winner of the Upper Canada Sports League basketball championships.

After the regionals in Carleton Place the weekend prior, the top teams under the Upper Canada District School Board arrived in Smiths Falls to go head-to-head in earning the coveted first place trophy.

“It’s bigger and better, a tournament

of the best of the best,” said Ron Ferguson, principal of Almonte District High School.

The gymnasium was packed with fans from parents to teachers to Smiths Falls students popping in between classes.

And the event was hardly short of excitement.

North Grenville’s Knights were defeated in the semi-finals by the Brockville Red Rams 42-27.

The Almonte Thunderbolts narrowly beat the St. Lawrence Saints 30-28 in a riveting game of equal teams and a missed buzzer beater at the end.

The Bolts would then go on to meet

the Red Rams in the tournament finals.

The scoring prowess of Bolts’ trio David Morton, Owen Clement and Krischan Welk was outplayed by Brockville’s manto-man zone.

The Red Rams were the tournament champions, defeating Almonte 39-26.

“We really stick to our man,” Red Rams coach Dan Bayles said about his team’s victory.

“We’re patient with the ball and take time before we make plays.”

This was the first year for the tournament, put on by the newly-formed Upper Canada Sports Council.

CCFC and AbbVie scholarships EMC Health - Canada has one of the highest reported prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the world and 20-30 per cent of people with IBD are diagnosed before the age of 20.

To support Canadian students living with IBD and raise awareness about this chronic disease, the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is accepting nominations from young people living with IBD. The AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is designed to award students who are living well with IBD, and strive to sustain an optimal level of wellness allowing them to excel while inspiring others to do the same. Through an unrestricted educational grant by AbbVie, CCFC will extend seven one-time scholarships of up to $5,000 Cdn. to students living with IBD who are entering into or are currently attending a post-secondary educational institution. Students of all ages are welcome to apply and the scholarship can be used for any Canadian post-secondary institution.

“I am committed to living each day to the fullest and I’m so grateful to the CCFC and AbbVie for giving me the opportunity and inspiration to push harder and help me excel at my academic goals,” says Clinton Shard, one of seven 2012 gutsy scholarship winners. “While the monetary scholarship provides an incentive, it also represents an investment in assisting students living with IBD and helping us achieve our dreams.”

Through initiatives such as the scholarship program, AbbVie aims to continue accelerating the recognition of the burden of IBD and help further the global dissemination of evolving approaches to better care for people living with IBD. “This initiative is a great example of a partnership that makes a difference in people’s lives,” states Felipe Pastrana, general manager of AbbVie Canada. The scholarship program, is designed for applicants of any age entering into or attending a Canadian-based post-secondary institution. Applicants must be: • a legal and permanent resident of Canada; • diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease by a physician; • seeking an associates, undergraduate, or graduate degree from a Canadian university; college; or enrolled in a trade school educational program; • enrolled in or awaiting acceptance from a Canadian-based post-educational institution for the Fall semester of 2013; and be a student who demonstrates academic aspiration and strives to sustain an optimal level of wellness in spite of their IBD, allowing them to excel to reach their personal and academic goals and inspiring others to do the same.

Local family shares unique pageant tradition

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Some would say one area family has pageants in their blood.

The Sturgesses of Franktown don’t have just one or two family members involved in the pageant circuit, but three, thanks to 16-year-old Mariah’s recent participation in the Miss Teen Ontario World competition. She joins sister Marley, 18, who was the International Plowing Match’s (IPM) Queen of the Furrow in 2012; and mom Elaine, who was crowned Miss Lanark in 1981.

Mariah’s foray into the pageant world happened by chance. The shy Carleton Place High School student said she never considered entering Miss Teen Ontario World, held Jan. 20 in Ottawa, but was intrigued when a former modelling agency she was involved with sent her an email about it.

“I thought I would just take a shot and see what happens,” Mariah remarked. She applied for the competition, originally to be held in December, in November.

Though she had done a bit of modelling, Mariah had to quickly search for the perfect outfits and learn to conquer high heels, which she had never worn previously.

“I had no idea what to expect, or what to do. My friends and I spent the weekend trying to walk in heels,” she commented.

Upon hearing she had been accepted to participate, Mariah said judges told her she was chosen because of her unique qualities. “I love art and I’m always sitting in a corner and drawing and I love photography,” she explained, stating her platform focused on anti-bullying. “I’m really quiet and I can’t even believe that I did this. My friends barely believed me.”

Neither did her sister.

“She’s really quiet at school and she doesn’t strike me as the kind of girl that would put on a gown, do her makeup and hair and put on heels,” Marley ad-

One Franktown family truly has pageants in their blood. Marley Sturgess was Lanark County’s Queen of the Furrow in 2011, while sister Mariah competed in the recent Miss Teen Ontario World pageant. They join mom Elaine, who was crowned Miss Lanark in 1981. From left, Marley, Elaine and Mariah strike their best pageant pose. Above, Mariah, fourth from left, onstage during the Miss Teen Ontario World competition, held in Ottawa in January. mitted. “It surprised me, because she’s the exact opposite of me.”

Fast forward to the day of the competition, Mariah and 46 other participants were thrown right into the mix. “We all met on that day (of the competition)... and had to rehearse our dance for the opening number,” she remembered, adding that Miss Teen Ontario World officials taught the contestants how to improve their posture and sit properly.

However, she stood her ground when pageant organizers asked her to remove some of her piercings, which included a nose and belly button ring.

“The theme (of Miss Teen Ontario World) was stand up, stand out and be your own kind of beautiful and I felt that since my piercings were my style...I didn’t think it was fair,” Mariah remarked. “Another girl there was asked

to cover up tattoos on her ankle and she said no as well.”

“I’m so proud that she stood up for herself and didn’t let it strip her of her personality,” added Elaine.

The competition featured included cocktail, evening gown and swimwear portions and Mariah admitted modelling swimwear was the “most nervewracking.”

“I’m a very shy person and everyone is staring and I had to wear heels,” she said, noting that the experience did help her overcome some of her shyness. “I gained a lot of confidence from it. Last year, I never would have done this...it shows a lot of different girls can do anything, really.”

“I think I would apply next year. It See PAGEANT page 38

Nutrition advice is everywhere – How do you know what to trust?

EMC Lifestyle – Many diplomas, certificates, training programs, and schools exist for someone to become a “nutrition expert.” And since anyone can claim to be a nutrition expert, how do you know if someone is really trained and qualified to provide credible nutrition information?

What is a reliable source of nutrition information?

Registered Dietitians (RD) are specially trained to translate nutrition research into practical advice that can have a positive impact on health, including: • An accredited 4-year or equivalent university degree;

• An accredited dietetic internship or equivalent supervised practical training; • Successful completion of the Canadian Dietetic Registhe responsibility and power to tration Examination; investigate and take action.

was a really cool experience,” Mariah added.

Miss Teen Ontario World has also opened up a few more doors for Mariah and she may be doing more modelling in the future.

Queen of the Furrow For Marley, whose uncle is a director with the Lanark Plowmen’s Association, the decision to enter came much easier than her sister. The outgoing teen traditionally volunteers at plowing matches and opted to try her hand at the Queen of the Furrow pageant.

Instead of swimwear, Marley had to brush up on how to plow the perfect furrow. “I like public speaking so I decided to go for it and I won. I was really surprised,” she said.

Marley actually won the Queen of the Furrow competition in 2011 and represented Lanark County at the IPM in September 2012, becoming close with Leeds County Queen of the Furrow Katie Chant who she participated against, along with other 33 girls, for the title of Ontario Queen of the Furrow.

While she didn’t win, one of the highlights waxs meeting Wayne Gretzky’s father, Walter.

“It was also fun meeting all the other girls from the different counties and listing all of the cool things about (Lanark) County,” Marley remarked.

“You find out about other counties and that Lanark County really has so much to offer.” “...I’m proud of where I come from and the history behind everything,” she continued.

Their mother’s pageant experience was quite different than her daughters’. Elaine was crowned Miss Lanark during a winter carnival and was required to skate around the arena in Lanark and face a panel of judges. She said she is proud of both of her daughters and their accomplishments.

“They are both very independent girls who definitely speak their mind,” Elaine stated.

Beware of unqualified individuals Because the title of “nutritionist” is not regulated in Ontario, it is used by many people who do not have the same credentials as a Registered Dietitian and are not qualified to do the type of nutrition counseling they offer. Some words in “professional” titles or services may be used to make them look credible but do not guarantee it. Here are some to watch for: • Registered – e.g., Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Registered Nutrition Professional. Just because a title is “registered” does not mean it is covered by the Regulated Health Professions Act. • Certified – e.g., Certified Nutrition Practitioner or Consultant, Certified Nutritionist.

Anyone who completes a training program can receive a certificate and become “certified” regardless of the quality of the

program.

• Incorporated – e.g., Being incorporated means that a new business or agency has been formed. Being incorporated makes something a legal body, but not accountable as a health professional.

• Clinical Nutrition – Anyone can claim to practice clinical nutrition, so if this is listed as one of their areas of expertise, they still may or may not be adequately trained.

nutrient deficiencies.

• IgG blood screening for food allergies – this shows the body’s normal physiological reaction to food proteins but does not indicate allergic disease.

• Detox diets to rid the body of contaminants – the body does this for us already.

• Light-to-skin tests to detect nutrient deficiencies – there is no evidence to indicate that this works.

When in doubt, get your nutrition information from a Registered Dietitian and steer clear of anyone who suggests: • Large doses of vitamins will help with a large number of conditions – this is not evidence-based.

• Hair analysis to detect the body’s nutrition status – hair is not a reliable indicator of nutritional health.

• “Hidden food allergies” are the cause of a wide variety of health problems – again, not based on any evidence.

• Computer-scored “nutrient deficiency test” as the basis for prescribing vitamins – computer programs can do dietary analysis, but cannot indicate

Out of fabric softener sheets for the dryer? Dampen an old washcloth and pour a capful of liquid fabric softener on it. Toss it in the dryer with a load of wet clothes. You can also save used dryer sheets and use them instead of the washcloth.

Visit to Vancouver gave spring a nice kick-start

shoe leather in the process.

Walking in Vancouver is a little more challenging than in some communities because being a seaside centre, some of your time on foot is spent going uphill.

English Bay We love the coast. Any coast for that matter! We stayed at the Sylvia Hotel, a wonderful independent hostelry on picturesque English Bay. As the name of the bay suggests, the Sylvia reminded us so much of some of the small, privately owned inns we have stayed at in England, Scotland and Ireland.

The vine-covered, eight storey hotel is marking its centennial this year. It is not rare for guests to open the drapes in the morning and find a raccoon nestled on the window sill. We also had a close encounter with a skunk at the main entrance on Day 1. The familiar white and black tail was up, in threatening fashion.

Fortunately for us he/she was more afraid of us than we were of him/ her.

The hotel is right on the edge of Stanley Park, a spectacular 1,000

acre preserve which is one of the major highlights of Vancouver.

Hence the wildlife around our hotel!

We toured Stanley Park extensively on foot and it was a spring delight with blossoms bursting out everywhere. One day we walked all the way around the sea wall which encloses the famous green space.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nine kilometre excursion.

Along the way we were able to collect shells on the beach. I have never seen such a vast collection of shells. There were untold trillions, the most I have encountered on any seashore and we have visited many during our travels. Frank says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sign of the health of the Pacific along Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west coast, with sea life thriving. The vast number of shorebirds feasting on this shellfish smorgasbord provides further testimony.

English Bay is post card beautiful. Because we stayed in a hotel overlooking the inlet we were treated to so many wonderful scenes, including one of the prettiest sunsets Kathy and I have ever witnessed.

Large ships from around the world lie at anchor in English Bay and that simply adds to the magic of the place. We were told an ocean going freighter can wait for up to two weeks before receiving permission to enter the busy Port of Vancouver.

As I said, we love the seaside.

Another of the pleasures of our visit was the chance to take a ferry across Burrard Inlet to North Van-

couver where we enjoyed lunch at a seaside market. Fish and shellfish of course.

If you go to Vancouver donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the False Creek Ferries. False Creek is another, smaller inlet which divides downtown from the rest of the city. The ferries are small, often tiny, vessels which take passengers across the creek or along its length to various docks in the downtown area. Wendy calls the ferries â&#x20AC;&#x153;cuteâ&#x20AC;? and if there were ever cute ferries, then surely the False Creek ferries are them!

A short ride took us to Granville Island and a visit to the popular weekend market located there. It is off season so fortunately we were not engulfed in the shoulder-toshoulder crowds which frequent the very interesting market during summer and fall. Frank says that in the past they have been forced out by the throngs who flock to Granville Island on many weekends. We had a grand opportunity to enjoy the market experience on offer there during the off season.

Famous districts Our travels took us through all of Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous neighbourhoods. Yaletown, Gastown, Chinatown and Coal Harbour are among the main downtown districts.

Vancouver has a vast Oriental population and its Chinatown is the largest in Canada. That status is beSee COLUMN page 40

company them on one of their frequent returns to B.C. This spring our schedules dovetailed and we are very pleased. We saw and learned a great deal, which of course is one of the many bonuses of travel.

Kathy and I have spent a lot of time in Europe over the course of two decades. We are now embarking on a plan to see more of our own country. Vancouver is a very good place to start!

One of the surest, safest and most informative ways of seeing the highlights of any large centre is to take the local â&#x20AC;&#x153;hop on, hop offâ&#x20AC;? bus tour.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on dozens of such tours and have enjoyed them all. But the trolley we took in Vancouver was undoubtedly the longest and most comprehensive tour we have ever taken.

We prefer to make a round trip first, take in as much as possible and then pick out some locations to hop off and have a closer look. The beauty is that you can then hop on the trolley or bus and it takes you back where you started. One of the greatest travel innovations of all time!

Of course with Wendy and Frank as guides we had no worries on this occasion. They know Vancouver well and that meant we were able to avoid some of the pitfalls which normally plague first-time visitors to any big city. Knowing the short cuts is an important start. Even at that we put a lot of kilometres on our personal odometers, wearing out a little

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I am just back from Vancouver where the only snow is on the mountain peaks and the warmer breezes from the Pacific Ocean offered a welcome start to spring. Yes, the same spring we have waited on for so long in eastern Ontario and which is finally gaining on us!

This was the first visit to Vancouver and Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful west coast for Kathleen and me. With any luck it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be our last. We were suitably impressed.

We were fortunate to be in the company of friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc who were the â&#x20AC;&#x153;trip guidesâ&#x20AC;? for our week in what is sometimes referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lotus Landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Vancouver is well ahead of us in welcoming spring. The Rhododendrons were already blooming in Stanley Park, daffodils swayed in the gentle breeze all over the city and fruit trees were showing strong signs of blossoming along the expansive avenues which run up from the sea.

The grass is always green in Vancouver. But this was the greenest grass I have seen since last summer in the United Kingdom. The Maritime climate in both locations is ideal for growing grass. Last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drought in our part of the world turned almost everything alive into various shades of brown.

Remembering Canadian folk music visionary “Chopper” McKinnon

Vancouver most people would rather not talk about.

Incredibly Vancouver is the second most expensive city in the world to live in, next to Singapore.

Vancouver’s impressive skyline is dominated by condominiums. The smallest sell for $1.5 million or more (no, that’s not a typo). Foreign investment, mainly from the Orient, has poured into Vancouver in recent years. There are too many condos for my liking and many more to come judging by what we saw.

Even a small war-time house in the downtown area sells for $1 million plus. Not for the home itself, but for the valuable land it sits on.

ing drive. In that spirit a donation bucket went around a few times at the celebration of life, and over $1,100 was raised for CKCU in Chopper’s memory. The show will carry on, recognizing the big shoes and expectations left by Chopper will guide their direction for a long time to come and will continue to keep exposing Canadian folk music to its truly worldwide listeners. I expect there will be other recognitions of his legacy. Thanks Chopper and all your friends you inspired.

RIP. I wanted to give a heads up to all you jazz fans that Clay Young is returning to Fiddleheads for their wonderful Jazz Brunch on Easter Sunday. Clay states: “This is, I think, my 15th year there; J.J. Stewart and Pat Moore have helped keep the morsel of jazz that Perth enjoys, alive. Later on, guys with me are: Scott Poll, clarinet on April 14; Dave Renaud, clarinet, April 28; and Dave Renaud, Tom Denison, bass, and myself have an Ottawa Jazz Festival gig on Wednesday June 26 at the Rideau Centre.”

My parents and I love to enjoy Clay and his visitors in the beautiful surroundings of the atrium of the Code’s Mill building.

It’s always a sweet time.

Upcoming events April 5: New Country Rehab – backroom of Perth Restaurant. This amazing group started playing in tribute, covering Hank Williams and evolved by taking their traditional country roots and dislike for “new country”, so prevalent today and developing their “anti-new country” sound, a blend of old school country, bluegrass, folk, roots, blues, which has been turning heads around the world. Check them out!

This is a CD release for them and tickets are available from Sue at 613-267-7902.

April 26th: Bluesmaster Suzie Vinnick and country picker extraordinaire Wendell Ferguson are appearing at Music On McLean House Concerts at Perth Restaurant. Both amazing players, this will be a night to remember as Suzie plays with our heartstrings with her award winning blues and Wendell amazes with his playing and makes you wet your pants with his humorous songs. Reservations are available by calling 613-267-7902 or at the Perth Restaurant.

Support live music forever.

In the expansive marinas there are lots of vessels for sale during a time of recession.

Some of the huge yachts on offer were going for a cool $3 million.

Yes, Vancouver is an expensive city to live in and it’s not cheap for visitors either. But if you want to see a particularly beautiful part of our country up close, it is definitely the place to go.

Among the many highlights of our visit, Stanley Park, English Bay and the False Creek ferries, as well as the spectacular mountains which guard the impressive city will long remain in my memory.

ing threatened however as younger residents of Chinese extraction assimilate into the general population and abandon Chinatown. The place is a little down on its heels these days.

We were told the Chinese community which has developed in suburban Richmond, B.C. is now threatening to overtake its downtown predecessor. Richmond’s Chinatown is much more modern and far more vibrant from all accounts.

Make no mistake about it, Vancouver is a big city and it comes complete with big city problems. Sirens are a constant presence and our brief look at East Hastings Street on the city’s downtown east side revealed a side of

Irene’s, honoring Allan “Chopper” McKinnon and he would have been humbled at the turn out and number of his friends who performed. Karen Flanagan-McCarthy emceed the evening of song and stories.

Notable to me were performances by Pat Moore and later Sneezy Waters & Vince Halfhide. I’d previously enjoyed Sneezy’s prowess and had heard Vince accompany too many to mention previously but this was the first time I heard Vince’s songwriting and was quite impressed.

Arthur McGregor played a couple of tunes and indicated the Ottawa Folklore Centre are working on developing a songwriting award in Chopper’s name; details yet to be determined. Lynn Miles dedicated a beautiful song she’s been working on for four years called ‘Tears’ to Chopper.

Terry Tufts played a couple of tunes and spoke briefly reminding us not to wait until friends die but rather start telling those who impress or whom we love how much they mean to us now, while they’re still with us. (I’ve been passing this idea forward since.) He followed these thoughts up with a brand new song he dedicated to Chopper, so far titled ‘I Love You All’… touching sentiments and a tasty song.

Melwood Cutlery touchingly changed his song ‘Jimmy’s Room’ to ‘Chopper’s Room’ and we all joined in, sounding like an Ottawa Folk Festival choir. It was nice to hear him back a couple of others with his harmonica. I hadn’t heard Christine Graves or Lynne Hanson in quite a while so was thrilled to hear their lovely pipes.

You could feel the love in the room as Chopper was remembered by so many of his friends and admirers. It was an honour to be there.

CKCU’s Canadian Spaces was Chopper’s baby and he treated it so tenderly.

He and his show’s ‘Space Cadets’ (listeners) were the top fundraisers every year as part of the station’s annual fundrais-

EMC Lifestyle – We turn on the radio and instantly hear music. We enjoy attending concerts or festivals and in all these cases most people have little knowledge of the tremendous amount of planning, coordination and information sharing that goes on behind the scenes. Yes, there are the music makers, those fine creative musicians but there are also the music support people who make what we enjoy, happen.

The Canadian folk music community lost a visionary, one of those often behind the scenes guys, a long standing ambassador as Allan “Chopper” McKinnon, host of Carleton University’s radio station CKCU’s Saturday morning show Canadian Spaces (93.1 FM) for more than 33 years passed on recently.

“Chopper” seems to have always worked in the music business, in one way or another. I know he managed in the ‘70s the Toronto Folklore Centre and later the Ottawa Folklore Centre. He was one of the instigators of the Ottawa Folk Festival where he and Karen Flanagan-McCarthy co-hosted for 15 years. He’s been an artist manager, show producer, artistic director, not-for-profit board member, mentor and friend to countless musicians and industry professionals.

As an honorary ‘Space Cadet’, I was so thankful being able to start regularly listening in several years ago, via “the interweb” to Canadian Spaces as most of my home radios couldn’t pull the show in every Saturday morning. To hear most of Canada’s singer/songwriters starry talent at some point or other either live or being interviewed by Chopper was always such a refreshing piece of real radio that opened my ears to so many. I spoke to Chopper backstage at Stewart Park Festival a couple of times as well as at his well polished stool at Irene’s in Ottawa and his knowledge of Canadian folk music was legendary.

CKCU hosted Canadian Spaces for the first time without Chopper on this planet with Chopper’s co-host of late, Chris White, and guests including Lynn Miles, Arthur McGregor, Ian Tamblyn and many by phone, including Rebecca Campbell from Toronto shared stories that brought both tears to my eyes and laughter that hurt my ribs.

1950 Pontiac Streamliner brings back a flood of memories EMC Lifestyle – Well-known tomato farmer Herm Dick and I were having coffee recently around 6 a.m. at Tim Hortons on Erie Street South in Leamington when he mentioned that his dad was fond of buying Pontiacs. The list included a ’46, a ’50, a ’52, a ’56 and others. A photo of a 1950 Streamliner is reproduced here to bring back memories for Herm, who remembers driving all his dad’s Pontiacs.

The family Pontiacs were purchased from Ray A. Young, a Pontiac-Buick dealer in Leamington for many years.

Ray was born in nearby Wheatley in 1899 and sold his first GM car when he was still a teenager. When he finally retired in 1981, he had been selling cars for GM for 64 years, a cross-Canada record that is probably still unbroken.

I landed my first summer job at age 15 in 1957 as the “wash boy” at 50 cents an hour on Ray Young’s used car lot. I still remember a 1950 Pontiac parked on the lot with that big dazzling grille.

The car was seven years old at the time and I spent lots of elbow grease trying to bring out the best shine possible on all that chrome. It was a fastback, just like the one pictured here, and I enjoyed looking at its sleek silhouette

and at the famous Pontiac streaks on the hood and trunk lid.

The car you see in the picture is currently owned by Paul Calderone of Toronto, who purchased his dark blue metallic 1950 Pontiac Streamliner two-door fastback four years ago from Al Webster, a classic car dealer north of Toronto. A decoding of the V.I.N. indicated Paul’s car had been built in Southgate, California. Under the hood is a 239 cubic inch flathead inline six cylinder cranking out 90 horsepower and bolted to a three-speed columnshift transmission. Also available that year was a flathead straight eight with 268 cubic inches cranking out 108 horsepower.

The year 1950 was a record setter for Pontiac with nearly 466,500 cars, breaking the previous all-time record in 1941. Also noteworthy for 1950 was the arrival of the first Pontiac hardtop, the Catalina, available in the Chieftain series, and instantly popular with almost 10 per cent of all 1950

Submitted photo

Paul Calderone’s beautiful 1950 Pontiac Streamliner is photographed in Toronto by Lake Ontario. Note the outside sun visor, rear view mirrors, fender skirts, and wide whitewall tires.

Pontiacs sold. Chevrolet also brought out its first hardtop that same year, the Bel Air. The Pontiac nameplate has now been discontinued, but as long as Pontiacs like Paul Calderone’s 1950

Streamliner show up at car shows and cruise nights, these cars will never be forgotten.

Full Circle Theatre hopes sold out events turn into musical theatre excitement EMC Entertainment – Following up on SRO (Standing Room Only or Sold Right Out) events at the Full Circle Theatre (FCT) this past week, Perth’s BarnDoor Productions (BDP) is turning their efforts to what should be the musical theatre event of the season at FCT. ‘Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris,’ BDP’s 88th production, hits the stage on April 12 and promises a whirlwind of music, colour, lights and great theatre.

Jacques Brel is a show that is vastly different time it is staged and BarnDoor’s new vision of it aims to bring the late-60s musical into a new century.

The show was groundbreaking in its off-Broadway debut in January 1968, anticipating the bookless, character-less musical form that ‘Hair’ brought to Broadway four months later. But while ‘Hair’ was a show that was very much about issues of the 1960s, ‘Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well’ is built around songs that are timeless in their content.

It’s an all-music musical and the emotional intensity required by the show is unique – every one of the show’s 27 songs is a small drama in itself, requiring not just singing ability from its performers but the need to create a fresh set of characters and a fresh new story with each number.

The musical is a physical challenge. The whole show is carried, in BarnDoor’s case, by five performers who sing, dance, clown and cry their way through a score that moves from laughter to nostalgia, from tears to joy in songs about life, death, loss, love, girls, dogs, bulls, carousels and much more.

Some songs are Latin in flavour, some are rag-time, some are jazzy, some pure rock and others are of that remarkable style known as

French cabaret – small, intense songs about huge emotional upheavals that move their audience deeply but are quickly replaced with something else entirely.

The show’s band is challenged as well. Songs change tempo, key, musical styles and emotional levels constantly, working from the smallest pianissimo to the heaviest fortissimo, from achingly slow to frighteningly fast – often within the same song.

In particular, one of Brel’s more famous songs, ‘Carousel,’ begins with the slow gentleness of a merry-go-round starting up and builds to a remarkable four-part, highspeed climax that leaves audience, and performers, gasping.

As if all that weren’t enough, BarnDoor is challenging itself technically as well, calling on the full resources of the Full Circle Theatre, and beyond, to create a piece of theatre that moves seamlessly through its two acts and its kaleidoscope of emotion and images.

There are songs that will make you laugh, songs that will make you think, songs that will make you cry and, in the end, a piece of theatre will let you leave excited and highly entertained.

BarnDoor Productions’ ‘Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris’ will be memorable and unique – a theatre event unlike anything you’ve seen in Perth in a long time.

‘Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris’ runs April 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 at 8 p.m. and April 14 and 21 at 2 p.m.

Tickets for Jacques Brel and details on it and other events at Full Circle Theatre (including full details on BDP’s 2013-2014 season) are on BarnDoor’s website: www. barndoorproductions.ca.

EMC News – The Lanark Chapter of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) is cooperating with Janet Crawford of White Lake, to encourage older adults to consider pole walking as a fun way to get outdoors and get low-impact exercise.

Nordic pole walking provides both a low-impact cardiovascular workout and resistance training.

Pole walking exercises 90 per cent of your muscle mass and therefore has greater benefits, such as: increase in strength and stability, greater weight loss, prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and heart disease. Please note you do not have to be an athlete to gain the benefits of this highly effective physical activity! If you can walk, you can do this!

How do you get started? What about the poles?

Crawford will be holding free instructional clinics throughout

This Week’s Pets

EMC Lifestyle – This week, I’d like to introduce you to Boots, Hank and Bella. They were brought to LAWS when their owner, who took extremely good care of her cats, passed away and there was nobody else to care for them. They have been with us since March 16, and Hank and Boots are now at Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place and we hope that these cats can once again find love and care in a new forever home. homes, too!

Abel is a quiet dignified four-year-old white male with brown markings. He tends to be a quiet boy but enjoys being petted and talked to, looking out windows and taking care of his beautiful coat. He is sure to win your heart with his easygoing, gentle personality. Please stop by LAWS to visit Abel today.

WEEK 2013 Salutes

National Volunteer Week 2013

Boots is a lovely black medium long-haired boy of about six and a half-yearsold. He is black with very striking green eyes and lovely long white whiskers.

Boots also has a few white marking on his chest and white “boots.” He loves his

brother Hank, who is a long hair grey with some blushcoloured hair. He is also about six and a half-yearsold and loves to snuggle.

Both Boots and Hank must have been used to regular brushing as they love it.

Bella is a short hair white and black female cat who also is a snuggle bug. All three cats are very healthy, playful and ready to find their forever home(s).

They are such beautiful cats! We also would like to introduce two handsome little guys who would be thrilled to find their forever

April 21st–27th Willie is the volunteer pick of the week. This handsome boy absolutely loves being brushed and petted, prefers to be king of the castle and would love to be the main man in your life. He is quite insulted about being picked up and brought to the shelter and feels this must be a mistake. He is a take charge kind of guy – confident, handsome and large framed. Wee Willie would love the opportunity to have his own home in the country where he can bird watch, take naps and be your best companion. He looks forward to having you meet him!

Experience poverty maze in Lanark County with ‘Take a Walk in My Shoes’ April 24 EMC Events – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, in partnership with the Social Service Worker Program at Algonquin College Perth, is hosting an interactive workshop called ‘Take a Walk in My Shoes.’

This free event, taking place on April 24 at Perth-Upon-Tay Legion, aims to raise awareness about the barriers people experiencing poverty face, and the day to day stigma that is often associated with poverty.

Participants will navigate through a maze where they will experience the challenges of trying to secure some of the most basic necessities in life.

Poverty affects everyone, including the families living in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. A total of 9.3

per cent of households in our area are food insecure (Canadian Community Health Survey, 2011. Ontario Share File. Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care), suggesting that many families do not have access to safe, affordable food that they like to eat, that helps them to be healthy and that they can get in ways that make them feel good about themselves.

Close to 11,000 families in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark are living on $19,000 or less per year (Canadian Community Health Survey, 2011. Ontario Share File. Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Statistics Canada, 2006, Census Population). This is not nearly enough income to raise a family and pay for things like, food, clothing,

shelter, health expenses, transportation and childcare.

“Students in the social service worker program at Algonquin College support people affected by poverty and recognize that affordable housing, fresh food, and transportation are not accessible for many people in Lanark County,” says Lisa Shaw-Verhoek, professor in the social service worker program at Algonquin College Perth Campus.

“This workshop will provide a unique experiential opportunity for anyone with an interest to explore this multi-faceted problem and to brainstorm solutions” says ShawVerhoek.

“Having access to healthy, safe and affordable food and housing is essential to being healthy, and not

Alzheimer Society works to remove stigmas EMC Lifestyle - Even though Alzheimer awareness month has come to an end our mission at the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County hasn’t. This year our awareness campaign is “See Me, Not My Disease…..Let’s Talk about Dementia”.

We will be working very hard to remove the stigma that people with Alzheimer’s disease live with every day. “She has lost her marbles” or “he has old-timer’s disease” may seem like harmless things to say about someone who has been diagnosed with the disease, however, the truth is they are harmful and hurtful words.

People who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia are still who they have always been; unique, educated, able body people. They now have the challenge of living with a disease that is slowly taking away all the memories they have developed throughout their lifetime.

“It’s very interesting to see how people close to me act. It’s almost as if they are afraid of bringing up the subject. Being a cancer survivor, I know that I was constantly asked how I was doing while I was going through treatment. With Alzheimer’s, no

one asks.” – Person with dementia, UK World Alzheimer Report 2012.

So, now we are asking ourselves, “What can we do for a person who has Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia?”

That is where our campaign comes in. “See me, not the disease”. See the person, see their strengths, be involved in their life and learn about the disease and what you can do as a family member, friend or co-worker for this person.

The Alzheimer Society of Lanark County’s Education & Support Coordinators are here to provide a variety of educational opportunities for people in our community. Learn about the disease, how to communicate with someone affected with the disease or how to keep your brain and body healthy with “Heads Up for Healthier Brain”.

If you are caring for someone with this disease you can attend one of our many Learning Series, or a caregiver support group. You can also come into

our office and speak with one of our Education & Support Coordinators. They can help you understand the disease and the people who are living with it.

Education & Support Coordinators will also speak at public events and groups covering a wide variety of subjects on this disease.

Right now, more than 747,000 in Canada are living with some form of dementia. In the next 20 years, this number will reach 1.4 million. The risk doubles every five years after the age of 65 and people as young as 40 have been diagnosed with a form of dementia.

The time is now to erase the stigma that has been around too long and open up our minds and our hearts to those who are living with Alzheimer’s disease and the ones who care for them.

We are here to help our community. Contact us at 613-2640307, 613-256-3113 or email alz@storm.ca Submitted by Robin Hull, Education & Support Coordinator.

Pension income-splitting – why it works and how to do it Even for younger people, doing the splits can be difficult but, believe it or not, doing the splits becomes easier as you mature. Of course, what we’re talking about here is not physically doing the splits but financially – as in splitting your pension income with a spouse or common-law partner to save on taxes.

The federal government allows eligible retirees to save on income tax by letting couples shift up to 50% of the higher earner’s eligible pension income to the lower earning partner who is taxed at a lower rate, reducing the tax bite for both of you. (By the way, you don’t actually have to pay the shifted income to your partner, you simply report it for tax purposes.)

To qualify for pension income-splitting, you and your partner must be Canadian residents and either married or living in a common-law relationship.

Regardless of your age, income from these sources is eligible for income splitting: • Lifetime pension, bridging payments, or

Manage Your Money annuity payments from a registered pension plan or foreign pension plan.

• Payments to a surviving spouse from investments held within a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) annuity contract resulting from the death of the original annuity owner.

At age 65, income from these sources also becomes eligible for pension income-splitting: • Payments from your investments held within a RRIF. • The interest component of the annuity payments under a contract purchased with non-registered funds.

You can qualify for pension income splitting even if you are receiving a periodic pension benefit and have started a second career.

But your income may change year-to-year, so you should frequently reevaluate to determine if you still qualify for pension income-splitting and the

percentage of income that should be transferred to the lower earner in order to maximize tax savings.

Pension incomesplitting is a valuable taxreduction strategy for most retirees – but to be certain it’s right for you, check out the tax implications of income-splitting -- and get good info on other tax-saving strategies – by talking to your professional advisor.

Public welcome to Federal government announces new savings for Canadian consumers attend Perth climate change forum April 15 EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Labour, on behalf of the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, this week announced new tariff relief

Why this forum now?

Changing climate trends are already touching many areas of our lives, from the local economy and tourism to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. A warning of possible spring flooding came as recently as March 7 from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, stating that nearrecord snowpack could melt quickly, depending on weather conditions, resulting in flooding of vulnerable areas. Meanwhile last July was the driest since 1931, part of a serious drought throughout Lanark County, accompanied by extreme heat warnings. Wetlands are still in recovery mode. And who can forget the ice storm of 1998? Our small towns and largely rural communities must develop plans and strategies to attempt to slow down accelerating rates of climate change related to global warming and to adapt to new climate trends.

It is certainly not too soon or too late to begin such planning, and in Ontario

there is already an example for us to consider. The Lake Simcoe watershed area has an official climate change action plan in place following extensive consultations with the public, municipalities, scientists, economic development, First Nations and Metis peoples, environmental and academic groups and more. This plan which began as a study by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources will be discussed at the forum as a possible model which could be customized for this area, its boundaries to be determined.

Questions, questions, and maybe some answers Discussion topics will focus on our state of readiness to cope with climate-related challenges. How will dry riverbeds and lower lake levels threaten some species or our water supply? Will the beauty of our natural environment be affected by the changing landscape? What about the consequences for tourism, property values, agriculture, food security and more? Just think of the dollars required to rebuild damaged infrastructure after severe storms or of the losses that farmers suffer when crops fail.

This meeting will also provide opportunity for those affected already to share their challenges and concerns, and for everyone to consider do-able followup actions, including building a local climate action network of our own.

Where is leadership coming from?

In the absence of adequate planning from higher levels, demand must come from below. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s us, everyone! On April 15, panelists will discuss what they think will be needed to guide us through the coming changes, and the Lake Simcoe plan. Appropriate actions that individuals can take will be suggested and the need for extensive on-going collaboration amongst all sectors will be emphasized. Public input is vitally important for a made-in-Lanark strategy.

Come to the forum on April 15 to discover what we can do here and now. The event is free and refreshments served before the meeting starts. See you then!

For more information, contact CFUW environment committee chair Peggy Land at 613-267-7597 or Taro Alps, a member of the Friends of the Tay Watershed Association board of directors, at 613-273-8495.

Toyota rules at Monte Carlo conservation rally

viability of alternatively powered autos and the message is getting through. Sandy Di Felice of Toyota Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s external affairs department found a perfect example of this when she spoke with a local family who came out to see the rally. A grandfather, son and two year-old grandson were observing the cars at an overnight pit-stop and when Sandy approached the toddler to ask why he came, he replied in French â&#x20AC;&#x153;pour voir les autos qui ne font pas de bruitâ&#x20AC;? (to see the cars that make no noise).

I always count my blessings when I can combine two or more of my favorite interests at once and recently I had this opportunity at the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Community Health Fest.

This trade-show style event was held recently in the town arena and showcased a variety of health care providers and services. A group that I volunteer with,

Yours in service, Brian Turner

by the hour in an average evening of celebration. The Intoxi-clock then calculated at approximately what time their BOC would reach zero once the start and end times of the imbibing were entered.

The looks of shock on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces was worth the price of admission when they learned that (depending on their rate of consumption) they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be safe to drive until late the next morning or as late as the afternoon in some cases. This device really demonstrated the reason why many police road-side enforcement programs are successful on Saturday and Sunday mornings in getting impaired drivers off the road.

the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee, manned a booth and provided a seminar on youth drug use and suicide risks. The transportation side of the coin (my other passion) came in the form of a very engaging Ontario Ministry of Transportation display provided by a dedicated MTO Regional Planner who joined our drug strategy group for the day. Josee Bessette brought along two very effective and educational pieces of technology to drive home the lesson about the risks of drinking and driving.

The first was a set of specially designed vision goggles that simulated the effect that alcohol has on our most important sense.

Visitors were encouraged to don a pair of these goggles and then try to walk a straight line (heel to toe) and pick up a set of keys at the end of the line. The results were hilarious.

But the star demonstration was Joseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Intoxi-clock. This oversized calculator connected to a power-point projector allowed the public to see the blood alcohol content (BOC) results of an evening of partying. Individuals supplied information such as age, sex, their favorite alcoholic beverage, and how many drinks they enjoy

EMC Lifestyle - Words like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and phrases such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;environmentally friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to mind when thinking of motor-sports, but Toyota Canada scored a major victory recently in a Monte Carlo rally thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about conservation.

As part of the Federation Internationale de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Automobile Alternative Energies Cup Season, the Monte Carlo Rally event held in March marks the first of 12 annual green rallies, including one in Montreal.

Drivers and their navigators are tasked with completing a 1,500 km/four day course through the scenic and hilly terrain of Monaco, southern France and Italy on sometimes narrow twisting roads. Eight classes of alternatively powered vehicles take part in a rally that scores driving teams on speed accuracy and fuel consumption rather than the fastest finish. The entries ranged from solar-powered prototypes to gasoline-electric hybrids. Our Toyota Canada team took an off-the-shelf Prius PHV (plug-in hybrid vehicle) which had no modifications save the installation of a rally timing/navigation computer.

Vinh Pham of Toyota Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advanced technology and powertrain division was behind the wheel and his navigator was rally veteran Alan Ockwell.

They earned their berth at the Monte Carlo event by winning last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green rally in Montreal.

Vinh reported that the Prius PHV performed flawlessly over narrow roads and extreme elevations of almost 1,000 meters. The plug-in feature of this fuel sipper allows the vehicle to operate totally on electricity from a dedicated battery and a dash-mounted selector switch allowed Vinh and Alan to use this power-cell when it would provide the most benefit.

At the finish line, the Prius PHV earned the title of the most fuel-efficient hybrid and came in fifth overall in a field of 113 entrants. The average fuel economy clocked by this Toyota over the course was 3.9 L/100 km or 72.43 mpg!

One of the purposes of events such as these is to demonstrate the

EMC Events – On Tuesday, April 9, Lanark County residents are invited to a free presentation by two remarkable men whose stories of hope and reconciliation have inspired many.

The Lanark County Community Justice Program (LCCJP) has invited Raouf Omar and Claude Weil, authors of the acclaimed book ‘Light Behind the Darkness: Stories of Compassion from the Holy Land’ to share their message with our community.

These two Canadians, (Raouf, a Palestinian, whose family was displaced by the creation of the Israeli state, and Claude, a former Israeli soldier) became self-described “soul brothers” after a chance meeting at Raouf’s restaurant in Ottawa.

In the book’s foreword, David O. Ellis writes “In a world increasingly subject to incompatible ideologies, warfare, global pandemics, and human suffering, the gift of human compassion is more essential than ever…To be the recipient of an act of compassion forever changes one’s soul and enhances the fellowship of humanity.”

This message of reconciliation is at the core of the principles of restorative justice, which the community justice program brings to Lanark County. After an incident, those affected, including wrong-doers and victims, are brought together in order to facilitate discussion on the impacts of crime on those directly
