EMC Sports – Rachel Homan and her Ottawa Curling Club teammates, third Emma Miskew, second Alison Kreviazuk, and lead Lisa Weagle won the seventh annual Royal LePage OVCA Women’s Fall Classic at the North Grenville Curling Club in Kemptville on the weekend.

Homan, who went undefeated in the event which ran from Nov. 1 to 4, became the first skip to win the event twice when her team defeated Listowel, Ontario’s Allison Nimik 6-1 in the championship final. As the champions, team Homan was awarded the OVCA Fall Classic trophy and claimed the first prize cheque of $5,000. Nimik and her teammates, third Katie Pringle, second Lynn Kreviazuk and lead Morgan Court received $2,600 as the runner-up team.

Homan easily disposed of Patti Lank 6-0 in her quarterfinal match, but had a much tougher time in her semifinal game needing an extra end to defeat Toronto’s Julie Hastings 6-4.

Nimik broke the hearts of Mary-Anne Arsenault’s large fan following when she won a hard fought 4-3 extra end game over Arsenault in the quarter-finals. Nimik then

eliminated Duluth Minnesota’s Amy Wright in the semifinals 6-3.

Other winners who earned a share of the $15,000 purse were Amy Wright and Julie Hastings who received $1,700 each as semi-finalists.

The quarter-finalists, who each won $1,000, were Arsenault, Russia’s Victoria Moiseeva, Quebec’s Eve Bélisle and Rochester New York’s Patti Lank.

The women who participate every year in the Royal LePage OVCA Women’s Fall Classic are all incredible athletes. However, what impresses fans even more is that they are true ambassadors for the sport of curling, taking moments to sign autographs and to talk to fans between games.

Such moments would not be possible without a title sponsor and a club willing to host the event. The OVCA says a big thank you to Royal LePage Team Realty and Royal LePage Gale Real Estate for their continued support of the Fall Classic. We also want to thank the North Grenville Curling Club, its members and all the local team sponsors and friends of the events that allow us to put on such a high caliber women’s curling bonspiel in your community each year.

Lastly we want to thank the fans who came out in record numbers this year to see great curling and to support this world class event.

I had the thrill of a lifetime when I sat down for a chat with Mary-Anne Arsenault, Colleen Jones, Kim Kelly and Jennifer Baxter after a game at the Fall Classic. I was surprised to learn that, while Colleen Jones is a member of the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame, the other three members of the team Jones skipped to five Canadian and two world championships, but Arsenault, Kelly and Nancy Delahunt are not yet in the Hall of Fame. A closer look at the selection criteria indicated that to be considered for entry candidates must be 45 years of age.

While the team, based on its five Canadian titles, meets the criteria for eligibility, only three of the four players are over the age of 45, Arsenault is only 44. So I guess we will have to wait at least one more year before this incredible team is inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame.

Hope to see you all again next year at the 2013 Women’s Fall Classic.

Jim Dolan is the co-chair of the 2012 Women’s Fall Classic.

The Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour is back; Get your tickets now EMC Events - For the seventh year the women of CFUW Perth (Canadian Federation of University Women) invite you to join us Dec. 1 – 2 and visit eight unique area homes in support of our major focus— funding education initiatives.

In addition to a tour of these wonderful homes you’ll come away with dozens of ideas for decorating your dining rooms for the Christmas Season— this year’s focus. Plus, you can do some Christmas shopping at our first ever CFUW member gift fair to be held at the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa. Perth is home to many artists and several will be making their products available to our visitors and donating a share of their proceeds to our cause.

Below are the descriptions of a few stops on the tour.

Perth was created by the establishment of a military settlement after the War of 1812.

Annsfield, built by Lieutenant Alexander Fraser was completed in 1823—the stone details above the front door and the large windows demonstrate the superior skills of the masons who built it. It has been carefully restored and modified by the three families who’ve lived there to maintain its graciousness and historical integrity.

Perhaps you dream of buying an old character home but want all the ‘modern’ conveniences. Originally only 440

After several modifications it is a perfect example of how you can create an up-to-date twenty-first century home while protecting the original floor-plan and historical feel of the original.

Another prominent landmark in the Town of Perth.

Completed in 1888, it exem-

plifies Victorian Italianate architecture, including the second storey “widow’s walk’, the large bay windows, an intricately-carved Italian marble fireplace and frieze and an original pewter chandelier. It has recently been purchased by a retired couple who are continuing to develop the legacy of the house with an upcoming kitchen renovation.

Perhaps the most unique home on the tour is - a twostorey condominium created within a stone structure built in 1883 as a factory.

The building is now a designated Heritage Site and provides residential housing with high ceilings and attractive balconies overhanging the Little Tay River – part of Stewart Park in the centre of Perth.

On both days of the tour, complimentary refreshments will be served by the Parkside Inn and Spa, also home of the Gift Marketplace. The hotel is offering a special package for visitors who plan to stay overnight. Well-priced meals with express service will be served at local restaurants as well as a church locale.

Tickets are limited and currently on sale in Ottawa (Tivoli Florists), Kingston (Trugs Home), Almonte (Smitten), Smiths Falls (Elizabeth Interiors) and in Perth at Home Furniture. You can also order them by calling 613 2672270.

Help on the way for Lanark farmers; funding announced

By CHRIS MUST

EMC News - How dry were some parts of Ontario this summer? According to Ontario Federation of Agriculture President Mark Wales, “A grasshopper would have to pack a lunch to cross the township.”

Wales toured Lanark and Renfrew Counties in August.

“I saw a lot of dead cornfields, I saw a lot of dead pasture, and I didn’t see a lot of hay.

By that stage it hadn’t rained for several months.”

For local farmers struggling to feed their livestock in the aftermath of the prolonged drought, help is on the way. At Lanark Hay East, a fundraising event hosted by the Almonte Civitan Club Saturday, Nov. 3, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announced that joint federal and provincial aid to bring donated hay from farms in Alberta, Saskatch-

ewan and Manitoba has been approved.

The federal and provincial governments will jointly contribute up to $500,000 toward the cost of transporting hay from the west, said Naqvi.

They have also committed to matching donations from the public to the Hay East program to a maximum of $2.5 million.

“This will move a lot of hay,” said Wales. Funds raised from the Lanark Hay East fundraiser Nov. 3 came in over $15,000, with more funds expected to spill in.

Some hay has already reached Lanark County. Fourteen bales, each weighing 1,550 pounds, arrived at the Almonte area farm of Warren Leitch and Lori McRae on Wednesday, Oct. 31. The hay was donated by a farmer in Leeder, SK. “It should get us through

the winter,” said Leitch.

“It’s beautiful hay,” added McRae. “The cattle were around it like a magnet.”

Before the donated hay arrived, the family was afraid they might have to sell part of their herd of beef cattle.

They had acquired a supply of hay earlier in the year, but were forced to feed it to their animals at the beginning of June. The second cut of locally-grown hay they had been counting on failed to materialize. An 18-acre field yielded only 35 tiny bales.

McRae made a point of calling the Saskatchewan farmer who donated his hay to help the struggling Lanark County producers. “He was actually surprised that we took the time to phone him,” she recalled. “I thought I was going to start crying, so I took a deep breath.”

Another farm in the Mab-

erly area has received 15 bales of donated hay. For these farms, and many others in Lanark, Renfrew and the Pontiac region of Quebec, this hay is critical to their continued sur-

vival. Without this assistance, most of these farms will run out of feed for their livestock

by January or February.

Several months without rainfall has deprived the pro-

ducers of the locally-grown hay they normally count on to feed their cattle, sheep, goats and horses.

Lanark County councillors answered the call to donate special cakes from each of their municipalities to be auctioned at the Lanark Hay East fundraiser held in Almonte Nov. 3. From left, some of the county councillors with their local creations included Peter McLaren of Lanark Highlands, Sharon Mousseau of Beckwith, John Fenik of Perth, Val Wilkinson of Mississippi Mills, Aubrey Churchill of Drummond/North Elmsley, and Susan Freeman and Keith Kerr of Tay Valley. Top right, at the event MPP Yasir Naqvi, left, announced joint federal and provincial funding to help bring donated hay from the west to area farmers struggling to feed their livestock in the aftermath of this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drought. At right is Ontario Federation of Agriculture President Mark Wales.

HAY From page 3

Hay that would have been saved for the winter had to be fed to animals during the summer.

Area farmers with long memories have stated that there hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a summer this dry since 1962, said Dave Campbell, key organizer of the Lanark Hay East fundraiser. At that time, said Campbell, hay was also brought from the west to save the day. Eastern farmers returned the favour by donating hay to be shipped west in 2002 when a drought struck the Prairies.

Liz Roffey, who has a farm halfway between Arnprior and Renfrew, said she and her husband had to hire an excavating crew to try to bring water to the surface this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can have all the grass you want, but if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have water...,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (livestock) are like you or I, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not camels.â&#x20AC;?

OFA President Wales said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drought has also served as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wake-up call.â&#x20AC;? If this kind of extreme weather becomes the norm, he said, farmers will need to think about creating more on-farm water storage for both livestock and crops. Water stor-

age, he added, will â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep the water table up, and is good for wildlife as well.â&#x20AC;?

OFA President Wales said farms in the region require a combined total of 70,000 bales of hay to meet their needs. Thanks to the generosity of western farmers, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the hay is there; moving it is the challenge now.â&#x20AC;?

Wales said both the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways have been allocating rail cars for the project, and trucking services in the west have also offered their services. Hay brought to Lanark County will be unloaded in Smiths Falls for

distribution to area farms.

Campbell said the idea for the Lanark Hay East fundraiser, which was a standingroom only event expected to raise several thousand dollars, came about in August. A 14-member volunteer committee met once a month to plan the event, and worked hard to ensure the hall, refreshments and entertainment were all donated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every cent we raise is going to buy transportation for hay,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the community coming together,â&#x20AC;? said Wales.

New OPP East Region facility a tribute to staff, service facility is truly a public building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, this belongs to the community,â&#x20AC;? Chief Superintendent Couture said.

Plans are underway to host a public open house of OPP East Region in spring 2013.

Further details on this event will be available at a later date. Connections to the community may be increasing at the Queen Street facility; according to Chief Superintendent Couture who noted the Smiths Falls high school is interested in working with the forensic lab in some fashion.

Smiths Fallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mayor Dennis Staples was on hand Oct. 30 to congratulate the OPP on a fantastic new facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrilled that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

Also taking part in the ceremony were: OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis; Bernie Murphy, Superintendent director of behavioural, forensic and electronic services; and Lanark County Warden John Gemmell. the most dramatic improvement with the new building.

The lab is completely secure and isolated from its adjoining office area. The department now has two garages: one with a lift in it to inspect vehicles involved in crimes (a first for the east region) and the second to house the labâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new vehicles that allow staff to stand up and work within the large van. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaps and bounds ahead of what we were working with,â&#x20AC;? added Jeff Christink, forensic lab staffer who provided tours of the facility last Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our entire office was probably the size of the two garage bays.â&#x20AC;?

The forensic lab now has a well laid out office that allows them to more easily meet the standard of isolation of evidence, which then helps them in proving a case in a court of law. The new lab has three completely separate biolabs: one for the victim, one for the suspect and one for the crime scene. These labs will be oneway access rooms with two anterooms and negative air pressure throughout.

Public open house Chief Superintendent Couture is pleased to see his staff provided with the facilities needed to solve crimes now and into the future, noting the

EMC News - What took five years and many sleepless nights to achieve was a point of great celebration recently when the new Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) East Region headquarters opened in Smiths Falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnificent,â&#x20AC;?

Lanark County Warden and retired OPP officer, John Gemmell said before pausing to collect his thoughts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beyond words.â&#x20AC;?

He spoke on behalf of the many retired officers who returned to their former headquarters Oct. 30 when he congratulated the organization on providing their staff with a working environment that is truly state-of-the-art.

OPP East Region Chief Superintendent Gary Couture said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been thinking of Gemmell, who had served as the in-service training leader, during the one-year building process. Those who took part in a building tour last week saw the brand new indoor training facility complete with rubberized flooring for shock absorption.

The two floor, 50,000 square foot facility has a multitude of improvements in virtually every corridor and section. The second floor office areas are sectioned off into units with department commanders and their staff in close contact. The building is also considered environmentally efficient with motion sensor lights in each office.

Consideration has also been given to the visually impaired as all office signs have Brail and the staircase has a bright red, texturized landing for easier identification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are committed to giving our police officers the tools they need to do their job,â&#x20AC;? added Yasir Naqvi, Ottawa-Centre member of provincial parliament and representative for Madeleine Meilleur, minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who protect us deserve the best possible work place environment.â&#x20AC;?

The opening of the East Region building is one of 18 facilities in 16 communities being constructed under the OPP Modernization Project. The agreement between Shield Infrastructure Partnership and Infrastructure Ontario is valued at $292.7 million and includes the building, design and maintenance of the facilities for 30 years.

OPP Commissioner, Chris Lewis congratulated the staff of East Region for their commitment to providing seamless service through the construction project and move that was completed on Sept.

26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a difficult process for you guys,â&#x20AC;? Commander Lewis added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My hat is off and [I give you] my applause.â&#x20AC;?

here in Smiths Falls,” the mayor said.

The building of the new headquarters became a reality after many late night negotiations in 2009. Discussions between the town and neighbouring township of Montague went late into the night and wrapped up just hours before a deadline that would see the two communities split revenue 50-50 in perpetuity.

This deal was necessary for the town to acquire the land and provide water and sewer services to the new OPP facility - a must for the building.

The OPP was officially formed in 1909, though the East Region headquarters wasn’t established until 1997.

At this time Districts 9, 10 and 11 were combined to create the new region and staff occupied a space in the then Rideau Regional Centre.

“We have come a long way ladies and gentlemen,” Chief Superintendent Couture said.

The east region serves the communities from the Quebec border to Quinte West,

encompassing the entire National Capital region and right up to the New York State border creating a truly diverse catchment area of urban, rural, forest and international law.

Clockwise from top left: The new indoor training room; the incident command room which will be available for ongoing meetings should another regional disaster like the ice storm of 1998 take place again; Bernie Murphy, Superintendent director for behavioural, forensic and electronic services; and Chris Lewis, OPP Commissioner.

COMMENTARY

Time to remember our true heroes

Photo by KATHY BOTHAM

Signs of the fall are everywhere. These acorns and pumpkins were on display recently in Kemptville.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Marking a period of remembrance DEAR EDITOR: Once again Remembrance Day will soon be upon us. A time for Canadians of all ages to remember the more than one hundred thousand fellow citizens who fought, bled and died protecting our freedoms along with the countless others who have served our country.

But Remembrance Day should not only be reserved to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It should also be a practical remembrance of the living – the disabled Veterans, RCMP members, widows, widowers, orphans and family members of those who served who are in need of a helping hand.

Members of the Royal Canadian Legion are, as one of their core responsibilities, the Guardians of Remembrance. The Poppy Campaign organized by the Legion, in conjunction with Remembrance Day, helps alleviate suffering and addresses the needs of Veterans and their families who may not have the financial wherewithal for basic necessities.

The Legion assists with purchasing medical equipment, awarding bursaries for needy students, providing support services such as

meals-on-wheels and drop-in centres and helping with some basic residential repairs to name but a few.

So much of the Legion’s work in our communities goes unnoticed. Every day this organization of more than 330,000 people makes significant contributions, not only to enhance the lives of Veterans, but also for seniors, Cadets, Scouts, Guides, as well as serving members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP and their families. The Legion remains fiercely proud to be Canada’s largest Veterans services organization. Our advocacy work on behalf of all who have served in the Canadian Forces and RCMP ensures that they receive life-long support and recognition for their service to this country. Thanks to their desire to give back, the Legion was created and continues to this day to support our communities in countless ways.

EMC Editorial - “In Flanders fields the poppies blow...” words from the famous poem written by John McCrae in 1915. A poem, to this day, most will associate with war time. A poem Lt. Col. McCrae wrote after the burial of a friend who was killed in the gun positions near Ypres, Belgium.

This Remembrance Day, as is tradition, we will remember them. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the eleventh month, many thousands of Canadians, young and young at heart, will gather across the country and truly place meaning in the saying, “Lest we forget”.

Those who fought for our freedom in World War I and World War II as well as in Korea and Afghanistan and who served on many peacekeeping missions will be honoured and remembered.

Locations throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville will be featuring Remembrance Day ceremonies and events to ensure the memory of days gone by will never be forgotten. Cenotaphs will be visited, wreaths laid and poppies placed.

Remembrance and respect for those who put their lives on the line, and for those who paid the ultimate price should not just happen one day of the year. And there are students and projects in the area who are ensuring that the tribute and legacy veterans have left us will always remain at the forefront of our minds.

It’s a legacy which should be taught and instilled in the minds of our young people as they make their way through school. The importance of the ultimate sacrifice made by so many of our men and women, must never be forgotten. Their stories must be told, their bravery shown.

“We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.”

Those wishing to commemorate Remembrance Day in their own communities should visit their municipal and Royal Canadian Legion websites for information on when observances will be taking place.

Lest we forget.

Sugar bowl represented so much more than egg money for Mother EMC Lifestyle - It was a blue sugar bowl. Much larger than the one we used every day on the kitchen table.

Father said it had been in his family as long as he could remember. It wasn’t used for sugar anymore, though. It was where Mother kept her egg money. It had a matching jug too, but it just stood beside the sugar bowl, and was never used. I figured the reason Mother used the sugar bowl for her egg money, and not the jug, was because it had a lid on it. To protect what was inside, sort of.

Goodness knows we kids would never dare go into the sugar bowl without permission, although sometimes, if we had tired of looking around Eaton’s catalogue in an evening of sitting around the kitchen table, Mother would let me take down the sugar bowl, and count her egg money.

Mother never heard of egg

money when she moved to that back woods farm in Renfrew County after living 18 years in New York City. But it was Aunt Bertha, Mrs. Beam too, who told her about saving a penny here, and a penny there, and it was to be hers alone.

Mrs. Beam snorted when she told mother about it being hers alone though. Sadly Mother soon found out what she meant.

Now, about the egg money.

It was Mother’s challenge to keep money in the sugar bowl. That meant that every week she went into Renfrew and peddled her wares door to door. At first, Mother thought

that that meant just peddling eggs. But Aunt Bertha was quick to show her how she could add greatly to her egg money.

“It’s not just from selling eggs, you know,” she told Mother. Everyone in Renfrew likes a fresh chicken now and again Aunt Bertha said.

Soon Mother added sticky buns, freshly churned butter and homemade soap to her wares. Once she tried selling small braided rugs, and hand sewn aprons, but she soon found out the women of Renfrew were just as busy themselves as she was making rugs and aprons.

Aunt Bertha said the money could be used for anything she wanted. New print from Walker Store, maybe a fresh pair of lisle stockings. But Mother had other plans for her egg money.

She longed to go back to New York. Not to stay of course, which was always a

fear deep in my heart, because she talked about the place so often and I knew how much she missed the life she once led. No, it would be just for a visit to spend a few days with her friend Rosie… and maybe go to an opera again, or visit the museums she loved. Yes, she longed for just one trip back to New York, and her wish was that one day there would be enough egg money in the blue sugar bowl to go back for a visit.

Often, at night, she would take the bowl down from the back to the wall cupboard and spread the money out on the oilcloth on the kitchen table.

She would count and stack the coins in order, and if there were any bills, she would flatten them out and put a salt shaker on them to hold them flat. And then, she would write the amount and the date on a slip of paper and tuck it into the sugar bowl with the money. And back it would go

on the shelf in the cupboard.

There would be a big sigh.

Never would there be enough money for the trip back to New York. And it wasn’t because she would dip into it for something frivolous like silk stockings or a new hat. No the reason was much simpler than that.

It would be because Father would have had to have some of the few coins she had worked so hard to accumulate.

Father never had more than a few cents in his overall pockets. And so, when something wore out, like it often did on the farm, or a new piece of harness was needed, inner tubes to replace the well, patched ones on the car, or even maybe, a new plow point, it was from the egg money Father would have to go.

There would be so much sadness on such a day. I always dreaded being in the kitchen when that happened.

Father would come in from

the barns, stop just inside the kitchen door, and pause as if he was undecided where he was heading. If Mother was busy at the stove, or at the wash tub, she would pause for just a moment, and a look of sadness would come over her face. Father would slowly walk over to the cupboard, and take down the blue jug and take out a few coins, or one or two of the bills, cram them into his overalls’ pocket and quietly quit the house.

Not a word would be spoken.

We would hear him leave the yard in the wagon or buggy, and I would know he was headed into Renfrew or to Briscoe’s General Store with a few coins from Mother’s egg money to get what was needed to keep the farm going.

And I would know that once again, Mother’s dream of a trip back to her beloved New York was as far away as ever.

Provincial health strategy needed, but doubts remain amongst front line workers in Lanark County

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com EMC News – When it comes to Ontario’s new 10-year mental health strategy, David North doesn’t know whether to shout hallelujah or get on his knees to pray.

Last week, Nicki Collins, executive director of Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, praised the initiative, remembering when the story was leaked to the press.

“That strategy was a hallelujah,” said Collins with her trademark smile. “We had been waiting so long for a strategy on child mental health.”

North, executive director of TriCAS (Tri County Addiction Services), would have liked to have shouted out a hallelujah, but couldn’t quite bring himself to do so.

“I’m not as keen on aspects of the 10-year program as I would like (to be),” said North.

“We think it is healthy to be skeptical.”

“Open Minds, Healthy Minds,” which is billed as “Ontario’s comprehensive mental health and addictions strategy, has just ended its second year of implementation, and is headed into its third. The first three years, according to Anne Moloney, community services consultant with the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services, are dedicated to children and families, before opening out province-wide thereafter to improve mental health for all Ontarians, partly by identifying problems early on.

Funding for the program is expected to grow to $93 million by 2013-14.

“When we look at the numbers in terms of the economic situation, I think that is an encouraging aspect of this,” said Moloney during her overview of the program at the Municipal Drug Strategy committee’s networking day at the Brunton Community Hall in Blacks Corners, Beckwith Township, on Friday, Oct. 26.

She stressed that the program was a multi-ministry collaborative approach, incorporating not only her ministry but also the ministries of training, colleges and universities and health and long-term care.

“It creates this culture of shared responsibilities,” said Moloney, with, for example, a community mental health project linked with an educational component, which places mental health workers in schools.

“All of our boards, all of our schools, were quite accommodating,” said Moloney. It is hoped that the program will cover a multitude of problems, such as reducing mental health wait times, identifying and intervening with children earlier, closing service gaps, and transitioning kids back into the education system.

However, increased awareness can be sometimes too successful, said Moloney, because “increased awareness leads to increased demand,” which then requires increased time, money

and coordination.

She added that tele-psychiatry “is coming. It’s not here yet.”

But Moloney conceded that there was still a long way to go with the program. She quoted America’s president from 1901 to 1909, Teddy Roosevelt, who said “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

“That sums up what we need to do,” said Moloney. “(Let’s) take advantage of the increased attention towards mental health and addictions (and) reduce and do away with the stigmas attached to it.”

While grateful to Moloney for her talk and her time, North served as a one-man loyal opposition and wasted no time in pointing out what he saw as the flaws and deficiencies in the program.

“What is the actual impact of the policy which was developed at a high level?” said North.

“What does this really mean for the people we are trying to serve?”

The policy was being developed at a time before the 2011 provincial election and the Drummond Report, and therefore things looked very different even a few short years ago.

He noted that there are now proposals either afoot, or which have already been implemented, to privatize parts of legalized gambling.

“When you move over to the private sector, there is less control,” said North.

As for the Drummond Report, there is ongoing discussion about constrictions with public sector pay, from doctors to teachers, police officers to politicians.

“You have problems with retention of staff,” said North, affecting the ability of health services to deliver their programs, and challenges in recruiting.

“Right now, there is nothing hitting the ground in terms of funding,” said North. “Our costs relative to compensation are very problematic,” but there is nothing in the policy to deal with that.

With pay freezes already in place, wage discrepancies and differing mandates could also impact the delivery of the pro-

gram. With the much-vaunted three-ministry, multi-agency approach, some agencies could be partnering with other agencies that do similar work, and “when they are making $5,000 more or $5,000 less, there is an implicit tension.”

Sara Hammel, TriCAS’s health promoter, agreed with her boss that, in the addictions field, there were competing visions about what even an addiction is, ranging from: • lifestyle choice • moral failing • chronic medical condition • mental health issue • treatable medical condition • averse social conditions.

“Addictions seem to be appended on to mental health,” said Hammel. “When we change how we look at addictions it changes how we choose to address it.”

She added that there were even inconsistencies within the Drummond Report, which noted that addictions and mental health are “cost drivers. Addictions and mental health have a lot of costs associated with them.”

At the same time, however, the report by the respected Toronto Dominion Bank economist, also recommended aggressively pursuing the expansion of Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) outlets across the province, as well as expanding points of sale for lotteries, expanding the availability of addictive substances and games.

“Gambling costs people a lot more…but at the same time we see that we need to raise funds by harming Ontario’s citizens,” said Hammel.

The provincial government recently announced $500,000 for pregnant and parenting women who abuse opiates.

“We sure could use $500,000 for addictions, that makes sense in our local area,” said Hammel. There was also money for early mental health problem identification, but not money for follow-up care.

“If we have nurses identifying, but no money for followup, it just adds to waiting lists,” said Hammel. “The government has been doing a lot of things that are counter-intuitive.”

She conceded that the provincial government has increased monies for addiction programs by 48 per cent since 2003, with an 80 per cent increase in mental health programs in the same nine year period.

Hammel advocated charging more for alcohol, a limit on LCBO and Beer Store hours, as well as entrance fees to casinos, restricting the sale of energy drinks to young people, and a nickel-a-drink tax that would be plowed back in to addiction programs.

Hammel, a recent graduate from Carleton University, said she too has been able to deal with her own addiction – she hasn’t lifted a coffee cup in two weeks.

Increased demand “The referrals have been coming in hot and heavy these past few weeks,” said Collins of

demand in the area for mental health resources, with a 19 per cent increase in referrals, with a high-water mark of 91 referrals in February alone. Collins commended the mental-healthworker-in-the-school aspect of the program.

“They feel that it is their child and health worker,” she said. “She (the nurse) becomes a face in the community. That’s increasing our referrals.”

Marcia Gibson, regional manger, east region, for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Ottawa, praised the program for seeking to bring multiple ministries and agencies together, to have “systems improvement through service collaborations,” and to “focus on families with complex or highly complex needs,” which usually means that a family is accessing more than one agencies help.

A family could be accessing social services, have a member who has a mental health issue, and another who might have had run-ins with the law. Gibson hoped that the multi-agency approach “is seamless so that I don’t have to jump through hoops, so that I don’t go to doors that are closed to me.”

But she also admitted that people are used to doing things a certain way, and one agencies way may not jive with another agencies perspective. Also, people are busy and sometimes people “bleed away,” and nothing gets done.

“We have to jump in, have a leap of faith, and learn from our mistakes, without impacting children or families,” said Gibson.

“I’m grateful for the critical what works, what doesn’t work (comments),” said Moloney at the end of the morning.

Understanding mortgage insurance Buying a home? Renewing an existing mortgage? In either case, there’s something you need to consider.

What happens to your home if you should become incapacitated or die? Would your family be able to stay in their home? Most lending institutions offer mortgage insurance when you arrange a mortgage with them and it’s the ‘easy’ way to get coverage. But before you say yes, here are a few things to think about.

• The lender’s representative who arranges your mortgage is usually not licensed to sell insurance products and cannot provide you with advice or guidance with respect to the insurance or provide guidance in answering the questions on the enrollment form for mortgage insurance. Here’s what can happen and has been documented in some cases: On the mortgage insurance form, you are asked to answer some general questions about your health and you do so to the best of your ability without realizing that your answers may not provide the full disclosure the insurance company needs.

For mortgage insurance, the underwriting (the process of choosing who and what the

Manage Your Money

insurance company will insure) is done at the time of a claim – so while you may believe you are covered, at the worst possible time, that coverage can be uncertain.

• A policy obtained through a lending institution has no cash value and benefits are paid directly to the lender not to your beneficiaries at a time when the money may be required the most.

There’s no doubt insurance is necessary protection for you home and family. But before making the decision, look at other options like getting the coverage you need with a personally owned life insurance policy. A professional advisor can help you select the right insurance for your needs and other protection that fits seamlessly with your overall financial plan.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Other educational workers affected by Bill 115 DEAR EDITOR: There has been a lot of talk about how the recent passing of Ontario Bill 115 – Putting Students First Act has affected teachers and students in schools across the province. I would like to point out that other educational workers, including

secretaries, custodians, educational assistants, Board staff and IT professionals, are also affected negatively by the Act. We are represented by CUPE, and our union was working hard to bargain with our employer, the Upper Canada District School

Board, in the months leading up to the passing of Bill 115. The Bill gives unprecedented power to the Minister of Education to interfere in all collective agreements in the education sector; to review, approve, or re-write any provision of our agreements.

The average CUPE school board worker makes $38,000 annually.

Two years with no increase, plus three unpaid days off has a serious impact on our life.

The government has gotten themselves into financial difficulty with some bad decisions and is now

feeling the pinch. Their answer to that is to implement legislation that targets a sector that many feel can afford it. CUPE members cannot afford it and it is frustrating to be asked to bear the brunt of this fiscal “quick fix”.

Please support the sup-

port workers – we have always put students first.

This is not “spin” or a catch phrase invented to make bad legislation more acceptable. This is just how we do our jobs.

Sue Bolger Office Administrator, PDCI

Bill 115 an attack on support staff: says reader blow.

As an education support worker I am good and mad, and ready to fight back. The Liberals reckless handling of the province’s coffers has initiated Bill 115 as a “finger in the dike” solution to the ravaging wave of provincial debt.

Schools run on the dedicated

service of teachers and education support workers.

Bill 115 is an attack on custodians, office, clerical and library personnel, education assistants, supervising monitors, early childhood educators, maintenance technicians, information technologists, etc.

Along with a wage freeze,

and a forensic dissection of sick leave and retirement gratuities, this bill is an unprecedented attack on free collective bargaining, and allows the government to over-rule freely negotiated collective agreements.

Bill 115 is the wholesale hijacking of collective bargain-

ing and as vice president of a Canadian Union of Public Employees Local, I cannot stand by to see that which the labour movement has gained over the years slip through this austerity program. Ask your MPP how he/she voted on Sept. 11?

Liberals alone did not carry off this Putting Students First

Bill, Conservative numbers ensured the 82 ayes outnumbered the 15 nays. Putting students first cannot put workers last. As Martin Luther King said “we have a moral obligation to fight unjust laws.” Repeal Bill 115.

REAL ESTATE

EMC News - Canada’s new and existing home markets are expected to moderate through the end of 2012 and into 2013, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC) third quarter 2012 Housing Market Outlook, Canada Edition1.

“Canada’s housing markets are expected to moderate over the rest of 2012 and into 2013 after showing sustained activity levels, specifically in the multiples segment, over the first half of 2012. Balanced market conditions in most local housing markets will result in a slowing in house price growth as well,” said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist for CMHC. On an annual basis, housing starts will be in the range of 196,800 to 217,000 units in 2012, with a point forecast of 207,200 units. In 2013, housing starts will be in the

Memories of Cuban Missile Crisis never fade

EMC Lifestyle - “Okay children, under your desks now – quickly, quickly.

“Pull yourself up into a ball, interlock your fingers and put them behind your neck. Make yourself as small as you can! Just as you saw in the film.”

The voice was that of my Grade 5 teacher at Stittsville Union Public School.

Her name eludes me now, 50 years later. But some of the memories from October 1962 will never fade. This one is the most vivid!

We were taking part in a drill. One that every child in our school participated in during that very tense time in world history. Earlier we had watched a film that was available to teach people how to protect themselves. We were preparing for what might happen should our enemy of the time, the Soviet Union, launch a nuclear attack on North America.

With Stittsville located so close to Ottawa, the seat of government, we were well within the fallout zone if nuclear missiles struck the city.

It was a deadly serious business. Believe me there was no smirking, laughing or tardiness at our school.

When the teacher said “assume the position” that’s exactly what we did. I was scared stiff, we all were.

By Grade 5 we were old enough to follow the news and we knew the situation was very serious.

The world’s greatest powers of the day, the United States of America and the Soviet Union, were teetering on the brink of

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

nuclear war and the threat of annihilation hung over all of us like a pall.

American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev stood toe-totoe in a potentially deadly confrontation over the presence of Russian nuclear missiles on the Caribbean island of Cuba. The Soviets had placed them there in secrecy. U.S. spy planes had discovered and photographed them and now JFK and the U.S. was demanding the launchers be dismantled and the nuclear warheads shipped back to Russia immediately.

In the language of the time “the threat was real and verifiable.” As the world held its breath it came down to whether Kennedy or Khrushchev would blink first.

The 13-day Cuban Missile Crisis began on Oct. 16, 1962 when JFK first learned missiles were being installed on Cuba, the nation governed by Fidel Castro which is allied with Russia. I say “is” because 50 years on very little has changed. Castro is elderly and ill but remains a dominant figure even though his brother Raul is now president. Cuba and Russia still cooperate closely.

Cuba lies 90 miles off the coast of Florida which made it an ideal launch

pad for Soviet weapons of mass destruction aimed at American and, yes, Canadian targets.

The so-called ‘Cold War’ reached its climax during those tense fall days half a century ago. The hands of the “nuclear clock” came as close to midnight as the world has ever seen. There have been other threats since, but none of them scared me as much as the Cuban crisis did when I was a youngster.

Invasion threat The Americans led a naval and air force blockade and Kennedy threatened to invade Cuba if the missile launchers weren’t dismantled and the warheads shipped back to Russia.

In the end it was the Soviet premier who blinked, perhaps spurred by concerns that Castro could not be trusted with nuclear weapons.

We now know that an American invasion of Cuba could also have led to catastrophe. Secretly the Russians had installed over 42,000 troops on the island to help repel any invasion.

Some 18 months earlier an American sanctioned attack had employed Cuban exiles trained by the Central Intelligence Agency.

The Bay of Pigs Invasion ended in total failure and embarrassment for the

young U.S. president.

In October 1962 Kennedy refused to back down.

That made him a hero in my eyes and in the opinion of most people living in North America at the time.

It’s one reason we were so shocked and saddened when just over a year later Kennedy was felled by assassins’ bullets while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas on Nov. 22, 1963, 49 years ago this month.

I say “assassins” because I am a skeptic about the socalled “magic bullet theory” and the lone gunman scenario. But that’s another column!

Was Castro involved in Kennedy’s murder? That remains among the conspiracy theories which abound to this day, underlining how much JFK meant to the world during his ill-fated term in office.

Now, 50 years later, I recall clearly what we were doing and how worried all of us were during the Cuban Missile Crisis. As children our fear was obviously heightened by the fact our parents were so terrified. It was a very troubling time and the information released publicly since the crisis shows we had good reason to be fearful.

Commemoration events marking the 50th anniversary were held across the U.S. during October. In Washington D.C. an exhibition opened at the National Archives titled “Too the Brink: JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis.” The exhibits include secretly recorded tapes of Kennedy and his advisors as they

worked to avert nuclear Armageddon.

As school children our involvement with the Cold War didn’t end with the USSR’s decision to remove missiles from Cuba.

The nuclear clock had only been turned back a few minutes. Atomic destruction was still a real possibility that we lived with every day. We still live with it of course but you have to remember that in 1962 nuclear weapons were still relatively new and therefore the concerns about their possible use were front and centre.

Today, living in the post 911 environment, terrorism is the reality we face each day.

During the Cold War one of the possible safety nets was bomb shelters. Just as the British did during ‘The Blitz’ people around the world were building home bomb shelters in the 1960s.

In the spring of 1963 our school trip took a very different twist. Instead of visiting a museum and having a picnic in a park (favourite year-end activities for school classes in the 1960s), we went to the Civil Defence installation at Arnprior. There we toured a bomb shelter.

A very unique school trip and one I also remember vividly.

After the Cuban crisis there was something very comforting about the thought of a home bomb shelter. Not that we ever had one of course. Most families couldn’t afford the “luxury.”

If you want to visit an installation from that period the best bet in our region is the so-called “Diefenbunker” at Carp. The huge underground installation was where Canadian government was supposed to continue in the event of a nuclear attack. The Prime Minister of the day was John Diefenbaker, hence the nickname.

Now dubbed ‘Canada’s Cold War Museum’ the four-storey deep bunker, buried in a hillside on the edge of Carp, provides an opportunity for people who weren’t alive or who don’t remember to learn about the Cold War and its impact on Canadians and our government in the 1960s. A great history lesson! That’s what commemorations like the Cuban Missile Crisis 50th anniversary are all about actually.

Despite several opportunities I have yet to visit the Diefenbunker. To be honest I don’t feel the need. I experienced the Cold War first-hand!

Field Naturalists repair Potvin Observation Tower

By NEIL CARLETON

EMC Lifestyle - A team of volunteers, all members of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN), assembled about 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27, just a few hundred meters or so from the Auld Kirk Church, across from the cemetery. This is where you’ll find the entrance to the MVFN’S trail that goes along a cultivated field, and through an abandoned pioneer farm yard. It leads to a unique observation tower overlooking Almonte’s western sanitation lagoon, also known locally as Lake Almonte.

Bird enthusiasts from close to home and across the region have been visiting the lagoon site for years to catch a glimpse of many avian species on and around the water.

A rare western sandpiper was spotted in 1974. On Saturday morning, the voices of hundreds and hundreds of landing and rising Canada geese echoed across the landscape.

With the generous donation of material from Al and the late Barbara Potvin, owners of Hilan Creative Playstructures, the three level observation tower was erected by the MVFN in 1996. A map, along with a satellite view, photos, and a description of the site, is available at http://www. neilyworld.com/neilyworld/ mississippi7.htm.

The volunteer team arrived well prepared with wheelbar-

rows and a cart, shovels and a post hole digger, drills, rope, lumber, and a come-along to complete a variety of repairs.

Put into service right away was a 1914 Simplex 15 ton railroad jack, model 19. With mechanical simplicity, a low corner that had slowly subsided over the years was easily raised, stabilized, and leveled.

In the meantime, the other group was strengthening the structure’s bracing. New balusters were also added to the tower railings. It was indeed a case of many hands making light work.

Submitted photos

The MVFN volunteers posed for a group photo. From left, Michael Macpherson, Sheldon Scrivens, Gary Hanes, Bernhard Gesicki, Al Potvin, Tim Pullen, John Grierson. Absent: Cliff Bennett. Right, MVFN volunteers Michael Macpherson and John Grierson have a low corner of the Potvin Observation Tower jacked up with a Simplex 19.

During the year, Lanark County is home to some 200 different kinds of birds.

About 130 migratory birds nest in the county, 32 more are permanent residents, and 35 species migrate through the area to nest in the north. With binoculars or a spotting scope, the MVFN’s Potvin Observation Tower is a good place to look for shorebirds, geese, ducks, herons, and grebes. If you visit, please leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but photos.

For a listing of another 31 good locations around Lanark County to look for birds, visit the website of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists at http://mvfn. ca/?tag=birding&paged=2, and scroll down to the third feature ‘Bird Watching Locations in Lanark County’.

As Cliff Bennett notes in his introduction, birding has become a very popular activity for individuals and families alike. Whether driving slowly or walking along county roads, hiking on trails, exploring the forests, or peering across marshes, creeks, and rivers, there’s so much to see and hear.

For information about membership, the Young Naturalists program, Monday morning hikes, canoe outings, and our lecture series, please visit the MVFN’s website at http://mvfn.ca/.

Mazureks’ era at Tait’s comes to an end

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News – The long hours starting with waking up in the early morning while it’s still dark to knead the bread or to address equipment issues, are coming to an end for two brothers, Stephen and John Mazurek.

For the last 33 years the Mazureks have worked together, side by side to see their Brockville business flourish.

As of Saturday, Nov. 10, another pair – a husband and wife team, Perry and Stacey Wenham – will open a new chapter in the long tradition that is Tait’s Bakery.

“There was an opportunity for us and we thought it is a great fit,” said Stephen.

Located on the original site, 31 King Street West, John Tait started the bakery in 1908.

In 1957, Bruce Mazurek bought the bakery business from a former baker of Buckingham Palace, Tait. From that point forward, the Mazureks have proudly continued the tradition of quality bakery items and personal service to their customers.

The business expanded under Bruce’s watchful eye into wholesale as well as retail sales of their product lines of signature breads and delicious pastries. Tait’s had a location in downtown Smiths Falls for several years before being sold almost a decade ago.

After 22 years Bruce decided to pass the business onto this two sons Stephen and John.

Stephen took care of the product baking while John was responsible for the wholesale and retail business.

Following in their father’s

Stephen (left) and John (right) Mazurek will be walking out of Tait’s Bakery and Deli soon for the very last time, as owners. Perry and Stacey Wenham will be taking over the business this coming week. This will be the fourth time that Tait’s Bakery has changed hands since 1908. footsteps these brothers, using their ingenuity, wanted to bring the “old world” charm of a European style café.

With the expansion and renovations of the property, customers enjoyed sandwiches made from their trademark freshly baked breads with no additives or preservatives; Stone Grain Organic, Historic, Old Fashioned White, Harvest, Harvest Rye, Rye and so many more.

Stephen admits that his

personal favourite bread is Harvest Rye. “I like the Harvest Rye as it’s a whole grain for number one, healthy, and tastes very good,” he said. “It’s a combination of great taste and healthy benefits.”

Using these breads in a deli sandwich combined with a homemade soup has made for a hearty lunch for shoppers as well as business people.

As for their catering division, Stephen and John of-

fered party or business trays of sandwiches, submarines, deli meats, fresh vegetables or assorted fruits, breakfast trays of muffins, croissants, Danish pastries, bagels along with serving platters of cheese.

Even though Stephen bakes some of the goods, he definitely has some preferred desserts.

“At Christmas time, I like the fruit cake, petit fours and the custard slices,” admitted Stephen. “I’ve always taken

the custard slices home with me at night and I enjoy them to this day.”

Over the years, the brothers have seen many, many creative cakes leave their bakery to become a centre piece for birthdays, weddings and anniversaries.

Two, three and four layers of fruit, chocolate or vanilla cake artfully decorated into the colour combination and theme of the day. Truly flavourful masterpieces!

The Mazureks have a lot of memories regarding customers, community events and business recognitions, but Stephen told of one during a special celebration that tops them all.

“I’ll never forget that day, a Saturday. We expected a few people in and I could not believe that on either side of deli/bakery, people were lined right up to the door. This was the only time that I can remember that it was constant, for two hours straight. I’ve never seen this before. Even at Christmas or Easter, I’ve never seen this many people and nobody left.”

Stephen shared the business motto as being, ‘do your best to produce a high quality product at a most reasonable price’.

Perhaps this is why no one left the line-up during the anniversary celebration, because they knew whatever they ordered they would receive the best that could be offered.

As for Stephen Mazurek, he will continue to assist in the transition with the Wenhams for the next six months while John will keep his options open with several ideas

brewing.

So on Saturday, November 10, the public is invited to a Tait’s Appreciation Day, as a thank you to all of their customers. “We just want to thank our customers for their loyalty and to give something back,” said Stephen. “We will have some old pictures, treats and would like donations to our favourite charities, the Salvation Army, Leeds and Grenville Interval House and Operation Harvest Sharing.”

In addition to donating to their favourite charities over the years, the Mazureks have also donated or catered to sports and fundraising events in the community.

“It’s a sense that creates a better feeling of belonging to the community of Brockville and area,” said Stephen. “This is what we try to nurture in our business.”

Both Stephen’s father and grandfather believed in helping others which they passed along to their sons and grandsons.

Stephen wants Tait’s customers to know that the Mazureks will still be part of the community.

“We are just so thankful for the loyal patronage over the years and it is difficult, running a business, especially a family-type business,” indicated Stephen. “We have made changes over the years including the product line and we have done a lot and the people have appreciated it. It goes to show that a hundred years after it started that Tait’s is still in business and I am very confident that a 100 years from now that the legacy will continue.”

By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - The flash of blades on ice, lightning stick action, the puck flying straight and true, but it’s a save at the last second by the goalie as he stretches out as far as he can and deflects it with his pads…

Well, sorta. Kinda. Maybe?

It was the sixth annual Hockey Night in LeedsGrenville, held at Centre 76 in Athens and hosted by both United Way Leeds & Grenville and G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction Company Ltd. Many of the best NHL and OHL Alumni, local business representatives and politicians were out to entertain the area’s biggest hockey fans and raise some funds for the United Way. Playing for the White Team were #7 Tony McKegney, NHL alumnus; #10 Chris Alexander, MP Ajax-Pickering; #13 Terry Marcotte, CTV Globe Media; #14 Tanya Edmonds, Ross& Cliffen & Associates; #23 Dennis Staples, Mayor of Smiths Falls; #35 Mike Belanger, Glaxo Smith Kline; #16 Laurie Boschman, NHL Alumni; #18 Ben Lobb, MP Huron Bruce; #21 Kev-

THE EMC - 26B - Thursday, November 8, 2012

“They are celebrating their 55th anniversary of service to the community tonight. They have been the key to building the business of this community for more than five decades.”

The action was hot and heavy as two well-matched teams played to a draw. Along the way they were guided by wisdom from their own “Don Cherry” (represented in tribute by Ed Holder, MP London West).

The United Way Leeds & Grenville serves as an umbrella organization in order to generate funds for the needy in the local community. They support the priority needs where funding is not otherwise readily available, bringing services to individuals, families, the elderly and children living at or below the poverty line.

The funding supports more than 100 programs and services delivered by 27 different agencies, all of whom provide vital services to those in need.

“Each year, tens of thousands of people from all walks of life give generously of their time to help raise funds, participate on boards and cam-

paign cabinets, determine how best to invest in communities, take part in events and support Leeds and Grenville with their knowledge and expertise,” notes the organization.

“The benefits of volunteering are many and include: giving something back to the community, making a difference in someone’s life, sharing your skills, talents and time, helping others, making new friends, gaining experience, etc. You will be investing in solutions to inspire healthy people build strong communities, moving people from poverty to possibility, and helping kids be all they can be.”

This year’s total fundraising goal is $1,030,000. So far they are more than half way there. “The real winner for the evening was The United Way of Leeds and Grenville,” said MP Gord Brown. “We raised $112,000. We want to give thanks to everyone who made it such a great success for a great cause.”

EMC Business - A new, regional business directory shared with seven municipalities through a pioneering, one-source updating model is the latest offering from the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

The free, online Leeds Grenville Business Directory already has more than 4,000 business listings, and it’s growing daily. Businesses listed on the Counties directory will now be automatically shared with North Grenville, Prescott, Brockville, and the Townships of Augusta, Front of Yonge, Leeds and the Thousand Islands and the Village of Westport through a direct web window.

“People have been asking us for a central repository for business information,” said Ann Weir, manager of the Counties Economic Development Department.

The Leeds Grenville office developed the initial directory and has been able to customize the directory to each municipality and their brand. The Counties will continue to manage the day-to-day updating.

“This innovative approach allows for onesource updating. Information is then directly connected to each participating municipality so you eliminate duplication while freeing up municipal staff time.”

Business owners can control their own profile, upload their logo and post updates to the directory hosted on the Counties website at www.leedsgrenville.com/ invest. Upon completion of the business listing, an interactive map will automatically be generated.

Consumers and visitors can access the directory to find services, locations, attractions and much more.

Businesses not yet listed are invited to go online and create their profiles with the most up-to-date information.

“Now our users in North Grenville can see businesses counties-wide,” said Teri Devine, economic development co-ordinator with the Municipality of North Grenville.

“And it’s turnkey for business owners as well. When I see a new business open in our area I refer them to the Business Directory link so they can register. It’s direct access. I think it’s great and we’ve had wonderful feedback,” she said.

Funding support has come from the 1000 Islands, Grenville and Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporations.

Second annual recreation summit on Nov. 14; Keynote speaker Jason Dunkerley EMC Events – Anyone with an interest in organizing and promoting sport and physical activities will want to attend this years’ Recreation Summit to network, learn about local physical activity successes, learn about the newly formed Physical Activity and Recreation Network and gather information about policies and services that may be useful in developing new recreational programs.

Who should attend?

Parks and Recreation Directors of municipalities, leaders of sports and recreation organizations, service club members who promote recreational activities, and health organizations promoting physical activity as a part of a wellness program.

The second annual Recreation Summit will be held Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. Check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m. A trade show and refreshments will be

available until the program starts at 9 a.m.

Jason Dunkerley, winner of five Paralympic medals, will be the keynote speaker.

At the recent London Paralympic Games the visually impaired Dunkerley, 35, and his guide Josh Karanja, won a silver medal in the 5,000-metre race and a bronze in the 1,500-metre race. With previous guide Greg Dailey, he won silver in the 1,500-metre at Sydney in 2000 and at Athens in 2004, and bronze at Beijing in 2008.

A panel of experts (Internet (social media), newspaper, radio and TV) will explain how organizations can use media to promote recreational events. Use of social media is exploding, so what do we need to consider before we jump on this bandwagon? This panel should provide everyone with useful ideas and tips to apply in their organization.

The afternoon panel will present on local success stories. We will hear: how the

Ottawa University football team partnered with Beckwith Township to play their home games at the Beckwith field this year, of the planning and hosting of the World Broomball Championships staged in Eastern Ontario, and how Making Play Possible is addressing accessibility and linking kids in Leeds/Grenville to recreational opportunities.

The Recreation Summit, sponsored by the Healthy

Communities Partnership, brings together those in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville who are involved in planning, promoting, providing and sponsoring healthy physical activities. Registration ($15) is required with lunch included. The registration fee also includes 2013 membership in the new Physical Activity and Recreation Network organization.

Registration closes Thursday, Nov.

8. To register contact Lianne Arndt, email: lianne. a r n d t @ h e a l t h u n i t . o rg , phone: 613-283-2740.

About the Healthy Communities Partnership: Lanark, Leeds & Grenville The HCP: LLG works together to make the healthy choice, the easy choice with a vision of ‘Healthy people in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville, who live, learn,

work and play in healthy communities’.

Lanark County Interval House Santa Shops at motion defeated; Power imbalance sustained

of Lanark County respectfully requests to the Premier, Attorney General and Ministry of Community and Social Services that funding for shelters be increased and that actions toward ending violence against women be enhanced.â&#x20AC;?

Lanark County Interval House is ready to collaborate with the county and the staff awaits the County councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan of action to work toward this approved motion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to working alongside our elected politicians of this county to see the motion to fruition,â&#x20AC;? says Lee-Todd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We remain committed to ensuring that the voices of women and children of Lanark County are heard and responded to in a respectful manner.â&#x20AC;?

Delegations from Lanark County Interval House visited each individual municipal council prior to making the request to the Community Services Committee of Lanark County. Certain municipalities indicated a desire for LCIH to return to them if the request at the County table was not approved. Interval House plans to follow up with those municipalities.

In response to a suggestion in a submitted staff report that funding for LCIH would result in hardship to other community agencies, the Executive Director asserts that Lanark County Interval House remains clear that its efforts and requests have never been made in a manner that suggests it is more valuable than any other supported service of the county including youth centres. The agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to have equal consideration and value in view of the importance of the contribution it makes for the health of the community as a whole.

EMC News - Despite an Oct. 10 motion of the Community Services Committee of Lanark County to refer it to the budget process, the Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) request for sustainable funding was unexpectedly reintroduced on Oct. 24 and defeated by one vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a long journey across the County to all municipalities and ending with a positive and supported presentation to the Community Services Committee of Lanark County, we thought the request was being referred to the budget process in the same manner as all things budget related,â&#x20AC;? said Erin Lee-Todd, Executive Director of Lanark County Interval House, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but at the following meeting of the County - just 14 days later - the issue of women and children is no longer worthy of formal budget discussions.â&#x20AC;?

Lee-Todd expressed that Lanark County Interval House is disappointed and shocked by the sudden shift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No communication to inform us, a very negative report submitted by and approved by county staff, and a result that indicates that the people with the power are not adequately concerned about marginalized members of our community.

The costs to the community are real and meaningful to the constituents of our county and must be taken seriously.â&#x20AC;?

By contrast, the County approved two additional motions related to the work to end violence against women. In a motion moved

by Susan Freeman and seconded by Keith Kerr, the county has voted to fully support LCIH in ways that bear no financial cost. â&#x20AC;?and whereas the Council of Lanark County fully supports Lanark County Interval House in their role and services provided to the women, girls and children within the County; now therefore the Council

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

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A few yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hiatus for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Christmas Socialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has allowed Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers to bring this fundraiser back - bigger and better than ever in 2012.

Offering the same popular features from past events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; social activity, entertainment, refreshments, snacks and more.

The SFDCS board hopes a large crowd will come out to seize the mix and mingle opportunity.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event takes place Nov. 28 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Smiths Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. Admission is just $5, but organizers are asking those who attend to bring along a non-perishable food item. Partnering with the local Build a Mountain of Food drive, Carl Evoy, local association board president explained, food donations will be given to the campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone who attended our last Christmas Social raved they had a wonderful time. The board wanted

to bring back what was a fun evening,â&#x20AC;? Evoy noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking a break from the social for a few years has allowed us to plan an even bigger and better event.â&#x20AC;?

The event is really two pronged for the association, the first goal of course to raise funds; the second goal is to raise awareness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea is to have a social, casual get together,â&#x20AC;? Evoy emphasized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just a fun evening.

You can meet people and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on around town, and see the museum.

All while raising funds for an important cause.â&#x20AC;?

Crime Stoppers receives no funding period, funding comes from fundraisers and the sale of Nevada tickets.

Monthly costs include $200-$300 for the 1-800 phone line coupled with the answering service expenses.

The service offers anyone with information to a local crime a way to provide it to the police without being identified. It is operated with the support of a Smiths Falls Police co-ordinator who takes the calls and a team of dedicated

volunteers whom together find ways to support the ongoing operational costs of the system. The Crime Stoppers service operates entirely through donations.

For tickets, contact any Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers board member or call Evoy at 613-283-2444, tickets can also be purchased at Impression Printing, Smiths Falls or at the Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce office.

Locally Crime Stoppers began in the summer of 1990 as a satellite to

the Kingston and District Crime Stoppers, however in September of 1992, things changed. That year, Smiths Falls formed its own program independent of Kingston, which continues to serve Smiths Falls and immediate area.

Crime Stoppers is a nonprofit program, operated by a board of directors. The board features members of the local community who are responsible for fundraising, advertisement, payment of rewards and all other functions of the local association.

Crime Stoppers works closely with the police and supplies information from callers to the local department to assist in the solving of crimes.

Callers providing information leading to arrests are eligible for rewards up to $2,000.

Those wishing to provide a tip may call 1-800-222TIPS (8477) and know they will remain anonymous.

No names are asked, no attempts are made to trace the call or identify the caller, and the Crime Stoppers phones do not have call dis-

play. Calls are answered 24 hours a day. When calling in the caller is given a code number with which they will identify themselves in any future calls.

Those providing tips are given a date to call Crime Stoppers back. They will be updated on the status of the investigation, perhaps asked for more information, or if the tip has resulted in an arrest, or recovery of property or drugs, the caller will be guided through the procedure of collecting their reward.

November marks CFUW healthy body time highlight some key benefits of physical activity from a dance/fitness perspective, demonstrating safe, easy to use exercises that can be modified to suit the needs of all women.

The theme of the most recent CFUW meeting, (Oct. 15) was “The Heart of Perth: Past and Future”. Susan Code McDougall, local historian, gave a lively talk on personages who settled in this area as a result of the War of 1812 – no war, no Perth, she explained. Completing her talk was a trueto-life local ghost story.

Mayor John Fenik reprised an abbreviated version of the Commencement talk he gave this spring to Algonquin College students.

Rounding out the October program was a presentation of the historical research done by Irene Spence about Alexander Fraser, who settled in the area right after the War of 1812 – in fact, Irene lives in his house, one of eight on CFUW’s Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour, Dec. 1 and 2.

Fraser had an interesting social and political life and it remains a mystery why he faded from history until resurrected by Irene’s research, now published in book form with co-author Ron Shaw.

Gananoque’s Pondapalooza cancelled for 2013

By LORRAINE PAYETTE

EMC News - Official word has been announced that Pondapalooza, the popular three-day weekend event held on the St. Lawrence River in Gananoque, has been cancelled for 2013.

“It is at this time I (must) announce sadly that the 2013 Pondapalooza weekend will not proceed as planned,” said Lori Higgs, event coordinator. “I want to thank each and every one of you again for all your help the past two years in making this a great event for our community.

“Although I respect and

value everyone’s time and thank those that did offer to help this year where they can, there is just not enough manpower to successfully build and maintain this event. We have advertised for new volunteers with no luck through newspapers, radio and social media.

And I thank them for the assistance in helping us get more volunteers.”

A relatively new event for the area, Pondapalooza had been slowly gaining momentum, but was proving to be too much for the limited number of volunteers and participants to maintain at this time. A festival of

outdoor sport, it involved curling and hockey played on the natural ice of the St. Lawrence River, as well as vendors, hay rides, great free entertainment and an opportunity to get to know many of Gananoque’s local businesses. Many have offered their condolences and appreciation, but no one as yet has been able to pick up the torch and take on the event.

“The efforts of the past two years by so many to produce Pondapalooza was

a true show of community spirit,” said Jan Gravelle.

“Lori’s initiative, individual commitment, and energy (all) given to Pondapalooza were exceptional. Many of the chores were accomplished with a minimum of help and always in the face of fickle and adverse weather conditions. (She) kept our spirits up and made sure we made it happen!

“Perhaps someone will take up the challenge, reviving Pondapalooza to be

Let It Rot

a great ‘winter-on-the-river’ event in the future.”

Others in the community agreed with these sentiments, including Sue Smith, Manager, Parks, Recreation, Marina for the Town of Gananoque and John Keilty of the Gananoque Inn and Spa, both of whom sent their condolences.

Several reasons were suggested for the shut down of the event, ranging from time of year to poor weather to lack of manpower, but

Gananoque is only down, not out.

“Perhaps something else will evolve this winter and take its place,” said Robb Bowman. “Possibly running this event every other year would be more beneficial to people, (give them) more time to plan and prepare.

“Hopefully we can continue to see such great events come to our area in the winter seasons and help support local businesses.”

High compliance during Moose Hunt Enforcement Blitz compliance. Violations included: • possessing a firearm at night • exporting wildlife without first obtaining a permit • wasting flesh suitable for food • failing to show authorization to a conservation officer upon request • failing to stop for a conservation officer • hunting with a shotgun not permanently plugged • operating an all-terrain vehicle without insurance and without a properly dis-

played plate.

The enforcement initiatives coincided with the controlled moose hunt in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 65. This WMU, which covers the counties of Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry and Prescott-Russell, as well as several former townships in the eastern part of the City of Ottawa, has a distinct population of moose. This population is not directly connected to other populations in the typical moose range to the north and west. The

population exists entirely within discrete “islands” of habitat, where there are very few natural predators.

As such, it requires careful management to minimize habitat damage, moose tick infestations, vehicle/moose collisions, and crop damage.

Aerial surveys indicated that the moose population was at 34 animals in 1980 and increased to 127 in 2010. To improve the management of moose and provide additional hunting opportunities, a bows-only

controlled hunting season for moose was established.

The hunt consists of a three-day disabled hunters’ season followed by a oneweek open season. Participants in the hunt must be successful in the moose tag draw in WMU 65 or be the hunting partner of a successful applicant. In 2011, 70 moose tags were allocated and 12 moose were harvested by hunters and/ or their partners in WMU 65. Seventy tags were allocated again this year.

For further information

on hunting regulations, please consult the 20122013 Hunting Regulations Summary, available at ServiceOntario/Government Information Centres, from licence issuers and at ontario.ca/hunting.

To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (8477667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

EMC News - The Ministry of Natural Resources laid five charges and issued three warnings during an enforcement blitz in Kemptville District.

From Oct. 5 to 14, conservation officers checked 47 moose and waterfowl hunters and uncovered eight violations, leading to five charges and three warnings. Some matters are still under investigation and will likely result in additional charges.

Of the hunters checked, most were found to be in

The Lowly Worm has more of an effect than we know alter forest soil structure and chemistry, reduce nutrient availability, and decrease the diversity of understory vegetation, soil fauna, and belowground fungal communities. That is, they reduce and destroy habitat for native species.

There is also evidence that changes caused by earthworms lead to a cascade of other changes in the forest that affect populations of small mammals, birds and amphibians, exacerbate the impacts of herbivores such as white-tailed deer and facilitate invasions

of other exotic species such as slugs, European buckthorn, and garlic mustard.

Thus earthworms pose a serious threat to the biodiversity and long term stability of our forests. With a warming climate, the potential for some earthworm species to expand their distribution or expand populations already established in forested ecosystems will increase likely resulting in further significant ecological changes and socioeconomic impacts.

Because earthworms are spread mainly by human

activities, there are some simple things you can do to prevent their further spreadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;take unused fishing bait home with you and freeze the container for at least a week before discarding the contents, freeze (as previously) compost before using it, wash ATV or other soil-holding vehicle tires before transporting the vehicle, join the Great Lakes Wormwatch citizen science effort (http://www. naturewatch.ca/english/ wormwatch).

significant changes in our environment. The underground burrowing systems that worms create increase the amount of water and air that reaches plant roots and other soil organisms. Also, earthworms mix the plant litter and organic matter into the soil, increasing the speed at which they decay and release nutrients.

No wonder gardeners love them!

The last glaciation eradicated native earthworms from Ontario. Our forests developed in the absence of earthworms until they arrived with soils (for ballast) and plants brought here by European settlers.

Since then both adults and cocoons (egg cases) have continued to be spread through dumping of unused fish bait, transport of compost, mulch, and top soil, movement of landscape plants with soil around their roots, dispersal from tire treads, and road building that involves bringing in soil from elsewhere.

At present, 17 non-native European and two North American (non-native to Ontario) earthworm species survive in the province.

Beyond the garden, in native forest ecosystems, earthworms are very bad news. They significantly

UCDSB blog aims to inform public on status of contract negotiations EMC News – Monday morning, Nov. 5, the Upper Canada District School Board introduced a new blog to keep students, parents, board employees and the general public informed of the status of its contract negotiations with teachers and support staff.

The first blog post from Board Chair Greg Pietersma explains the purpose of the site known as ‘Students First, Always!’ (studentsfirstalways.ca).

“Our first use of this portal will be to address the turmoil created by the Ontario Minister of Education’s approach to this round of contract talks,” out-

lines Pietersma. “We will use this blog to provide the facts regarding what is happening with contract talks and what is happening in our schools. This is our way to keep everyone informed of the truth, to stay ahead of potential rumours and misunderstandings.”

The blog also features the website links for the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, the Ontario Ministry of Education and People for Education.

“We chose to include those

links because we want everyone to see what various others are saying about the government’s legislation and other related issues. This is a transparent blog that offers a wide exchange of information and ideas,” said Pietersma.

Visitors to the blog site can respond with their questions and opinions. All questions will be answered by the school board as quickly as possible.

“This site will be used in the future for other key purposes to disseminate useful and accurate information as quickly as possible to our communities. For example, this would have been

a great communication tool for us to have used in 2009-10 during the H1N1 crisis,” explained Director of Education David K. Thomas.

In the past the board used news releases, school newsletters and letters sent home with students to keep its communities informed of events.

However, the way it can communicate and the way its communities expect the board to communicate have changed.

Parents want information as close to real time as possible and it is incumbent upon the board to fulfill that expectation. This portal is designed to

achieve that. When events occur, anyone can visit this portal to get up-to-date, relevant information. Consider it as a clearing house for information that one might require.

Other features on the site include: • a dashboard listing of all the board’s schools and a colour code to outline the status of co and extra-curricular activities.

This will provide visitors with an instant picture of the levels of activities in the board’s 87 schools; • a link to Chair Pietersma’s blog and the Upper Canada District School Board’s

blog known as WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE SCHOOL HOUSE?; • a link to Director Thomas’ blog; • a glossary of items related to collective bargaining; and • a flow chart of the collective bargaining process.

There is the potential for labour action in the coming weeks and months.

“We will do anything we can do to lessen the anxiety and frustration that accompanies events like labour disruptions,” said Pietersma.

Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation reveals Inflammatory Bowel Disease costs Canadians $2.8 billion a year EMC News - To kick off November as Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Month, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) is launching The Impact of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Canada 2012 Final Report and Recommendations.

This report, commissioned by the CCFC, was developed to collect and communicate information on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) relevant to Canada.

It also raises awareness and understanding of IBD in Canada, ultimately leading to new research opportunities and improved quality of life of people with IBD. “We had hoped that our research efforts into finding the cures for Crohn’s and colitis would have paid off long ago, giving our patients the freedom to move ahead with their lives and careers,” said Dr. Kevin Glasgow, Chief Executive Officer, CCFC. “We’re getting closer to

the cures – and definitely seeing the benefits of better treatments – but we’re not there yet. Until that day comes, we have a collective obligation to improve quality of life by reducing the impact of living with IBD, which is why the CCFC commissioned the Impact of IBD Report.”

The Impact of IBD in Canada - key findings: • There are approximately 233,000 Canadians living with IBD – 129,000 with Crohn’s disease and 104,000 with ulcerative colitis.

• This is up from 201,000 Canadians with IBD as reported in CCFC’s 2008 Burden of IBD in Canada Report.

• An estimated 5,900 Canadian children have IBD. • One in every 150 Canadians has IBD (0.7 per cent of the population).

• IBD is more than twice as common as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease; about as common as Type I

diabetes or epilepsy.

• More than 10,200 new cases of IBD are diagnosed every year (5,700 with Crohn’s disease, 4,500 with ulcerative colitis).

• The incidence of IBD in Canada has been rising, particularly since 2001, and significantly so in children under the age of 10.

• The economic costs of IBD are conservatively estimated as $2.8 billion per year, which is more than $11,900 per person every year.

• Direct medical costs

(dominated by medications, hospitalizations and physician visits) totalled over $1.2 billion.

• Indirect costs (dominated by long and short-term work losses and patient outof-pocket expenses) totalled over $1.6 billion.

• Quality of life for people with IBD is low across all aspects of health, compared to the general population.

One of the most troubling findings from the 2012 Impact of IBD Report is the prevalence of pediatric IBD – the numbers were higher

than expected – and have been increasing significantly in children aged 0-4 years and 5-9 years.

Today, an estimated 5,900 Canadian children have IBD, experiencing symptoms of agonizing pain and countless bowel movements a day. While further research is required to answer the big question of “why?” researchers believe that this finding is related to undetermined environmental factors, or due to patterns of migration.

The complete Impact of Inflammatory Bowel Dis-

ease Report can be downloaded from the CCFC website at www.ccfc.ca.

November is Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Month Adults and children living with IBD face a number of critical challenges.

The disease can severely impact their quality of life, including a reduction in their ability to work or attend school, social stigma, management of bathroom issues, difficulty with physical intimacy and a restriction in career choices.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Caution needed before signing on the bottom line or suspending a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence EMC Lifestyle - First I need to start off with an apology for not labeling the picture I sent in with the Oct. 4 piece on a restored British classic car. The shot of the curious geek with his head under the hood was actually me, not the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner Mike Giroux. For the record, Mike is much better and younger looking than me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Brian: I took my 2006 Cadillac DTS into a local national chain garage recently as I had a free oil change coupon. I also mentioned that there was a noise coming from the engine, which actually sounded as if I had winter tires on (that sort of noise), but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (have winter tires on!). I saw the mechanic take it for a spin. When the oil change had been completed, and I went to pay my bill, there was a charge of $99 for a General Diagnostic. I did not request this, so should I have to pay for it? They then went on to tell me that I needed new Shocks & Struts...cost $915. Replace Wheel Bearing front, one side...$399.

I declined to have them do this work, and went to my usual mechanic, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anything they were going to do would affect the noise I was hearing. He will tell me what he thinks is the problem tomorrow! Why should I have to pay for the Diagnostic charge when I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asked for it? Did they do it to find out what the problem was? What do they have mechanics for? Arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they the ones to tell me?!â&#x20AC;?

Very frustrated! John When taking your vehicle into a repair shop you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visited before, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to first ask a few questions to avoid this type of invoice surprise. First, check what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re signing when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re presented with a work order. If you ask for a noise to be checked out, or for anything else for that matter, make sure your request is accurately indicated on the work order. Signing a work order without reading or understanding it can be a lot like signing a blank cheque.

The Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services website provides some great advice for these situations: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The repair shop may charge for an estimate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if you are told in advance that

a fee will apply and what the amount will be. The fee can include the cost of diagnostic time plus the cost of reassembling the vehicle. It can also include the cost of parts damaged and replaced while carrying out the estimate.

However, the repair shop canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge for an estimate if you go ahead with the work, unless you make them wait for authorization and they must reassemble your vehicle to make room for other work. If you authorize the work or repairs by phone, the shop is required to record the details of the authorization in writing.

If a repair shop asks you to sign a blank work order, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. If you sign, the repairer may argue youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re liable for whatever work it chooses to carry out, and it will be difficult to prove you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authorize it.â&#x20AC;?

I would suggest our Caddy owner make arrangements and sit down and discuss this situation with the service manager at the shop he visited, and if necessary, the store owner. If he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t informed of the estimating and diagnostic charges up front, he may have a good case to request a refund.

A good friend at the Ministry of Transportation is always happy to fill my email inbox with interesting studies, press releases, and reports. One that came recently provided some surprising information. A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine (Sept 27, 2012) detailed a statistical analysis of Ontario motor vehicle collisions and related injuries between April of 2006 and the end of 2009. They concentrated on drivers who had received a warning from their doctor detailing a medical condition that may have affected their driving ability. The study revealed a 45 per cent decrease in the rate of collisions that required a visit to a hospital emergency department per 1,000 drivers. One of the conclusions of this study was that society in general and the province saved $7M annually in healthcare costs, property damage, and lost work-time, as well as premature morbidity and mortality as a result of these medical warnings.

What was a surprise to me was that since 2006 physicians in Ontario have been paid $36 for every warning

Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

they issued to a patient regarding a potential â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unfit-todriveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; medical condition that entailed a follow-up by letter to the Ministry of Transportation. Approximately 1030 per cent of the 100,000 warnings that were issued resulted in temporary or permanent license suspensions.

The study also noted a 25 per cent increase in emergency visits among warned and suspended drivers (pri-

marily for depression) and a 23 per cent drop in visits to their physicians, presumably due to strained patient/doctor relationships because of the warnings. Even though the report didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spell it out, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that a good portion of these warnings/ suspensions involved senior drivers. Driving people that need healthcare the most away from their doctors is never a great idea. And tar-

anyone regardless of their age.

geting those that are statistically among the safest drivers on the roads isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an appropriate use of regulations.

Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to take doctors out of the role of enforcing MOT regulations.

If a doctor notices a condition that may affect driving ability, a better solution might be to have him or her order a test to be performed at an MOT facility, before suspending a license, to gauge the ability of the driver in question. Surely with our level of knowledge of the human mind and body and with the technology at hand today, we could come up with a fair and accurate method of determining the driving fitness of just about

Miniature collection honours Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hats

tails such as roses which she makes and glues on the hats.

It takes her about four hours to make one of these miniature hats.

She currently has made 35 hats, all unique in accordance with the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design, although she did not have them all on display last Saturday because of the size of the exhibit case. She also included in the display some miniature hat boxes, which she has added to her collection. In addition, she included one hat worn by the Queen Mother and another hat worn by Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Kennedy says that she makes these miniature replicas of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many hats because â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun thing.â&#x20AC;? In addition, she is a hat lover herself, one of which she was wearing as she attended â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teaâ&#x20AC;? event that day.

She currently has 61 hats, all custom-made.

She recently has sent a picture of her collection of miniature replicas of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hats to the Queen but so far she has not heard back.

By JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

EMC News - Queen Elizabeth is renowned for her hats.

And so it only makes sense that any celebration of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Jubilee such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teaâ&#x20AC;? event hosted by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society and the Goulbourn Museum at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library recently should include something about the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hats.

And what a display it was, not in size as it was all contained in a small glass-front exhibit case, but in scope with numerous scale-model replicas of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hats.

These one-twelfth scale replicas, all hand made by Pat Kennedy of Almonte, a selfdeclared hat lover herself, have been made according to designs provided by Buckingham Palace itself.

Kennedy wrote to the Queen, seeking information about the hats that she has worn over the years, all of which are specially designed for her. Buckingham Palace responded by sending the designs to Kennedy with the proviso that any hats made from the designs could not be sold.

Kennedy then set about to make the miniature replicas of the hats, right down to the de-

Pat Kennedy of Almonte during The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tea.

People First continue to fight for the Protecting Vulnerable People Against Picketing Act tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Imagine a world where you are powerless.

“When a strike occurs and pickets are set up in front of the homes of our community’s most vulnerable people, there is absolutely nothing they can do,” People First of Ontario (PFO) president Kory Earle said. “They have lost their freedom.”

Over and above a complete lack of privacy, he explained the residents hear screaming, have their pictures taken by strikers, and are forced to wait before they can go anywhere – at times up to 20 minutes. Furthermore, neighbours quickly learn the residents’ homes are supported by agencies or organizations.

“Our most vulnerable are singled out,” Earle said.

“No person’s personal home should be picketed,” DufferinCaledon Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Sylvia Jones said in a statement read out loud during a press conference at the Carleton Place office of People First of Lanark County (PFoLC) on Monday, Oct. 29.

Last December, during the 40th Parliament of Ontario, the MPP re-introduced the Protecting Vulnerable People Against Picketing Act (Bill 23), which would prevent picketing of supported group living residences.

As Premier Dalton McGuinty prorogued the legislature on Oct. 15, “I intend to do so again in the 41st,” she said. “No employment contract is more important than an individual’s dignity.”

“In my view, when McGuinty shut down Queen’s Park, it

showed disrespect to the province’s most vulnerable people,” Earle said. “People First of Ontario is not saying that it is wrong for a person to resign; however, there are issues that need to be dealt with – like the Protecting Vulnerable People Against Picketing Act.” The bill is not about weakening employees’ rights or strengthening employers’ bargaining ability.

“I am not of the side of service providers or unions,” the MPP said. “I am on the side of the people caught in the middle.”

“We want to ensure their voices are heard,” Earle stated.

United we stand Joining Earle on Oct. 29 was Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc.

“Wendy stands united with the individuals affected by what goes on when picketing happens in front of their homes,” he said.

Crossing a picket line can be difficult – even scary. No one wants to rock the boat.

“I can’t imagine driving up to my house at the end of a long day and seeing picketers,” the mayor said. “What kind of quiet night would you have at home?”

“I would not tolerate it,” she added.

LeBlanc highly praised Earle and People First for working extremely hard to make people with disabilities a part of the community – “a very important part.”

Jones concurred.

“Organizations like People First and Community Living have worked tirelessly to incorporate support group resi-

dences into communities,” she said. “When these residences are picketed, all of this excellent work is undermined. This is not right.”

In 2009, a 10-week long strike between members of CUPE Local 1521.02 and Community Living AssociationLanark County was a real eye opener to the advocacy work that People First must concentrate on.

“It is very important that employers and unions step up and put all differences aside and say ‘we ensure that picketing in from of the most vulnerable people’s homes does not happen again’,” Earle said.

His organization is hopeful Bill 23 will be passed into law when it is eventually brought forward for a third time.

“At no time should people with disabilities be used as

pawns,” Earle stated. “They are human beings and should be treated with respect.”

During the next parliament, People First is calling on all MPPs to stand together and help get the Protecting Vulnerable People Against Picketing Act passed – quickly.

“Together we can make sure that people living with supports in Ontario’s communities have their dignity and safety protect-

ed,” Jones said.

The vision of People First is of a movement of people who want all citizens to live equally in the community.

On Nov. 1, Manon Lepine took over for Earle as president of PFoLC, as he assumes the role of executive director.

Plus Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been off cortisone for my eczema since I started using the Pure Hazelwood products.â&#x20AC;? said Christine.

The story is one that has its roots back in the very, very early days. Many long years ago aboriginal people put chips of hazelwood on their babiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; necks to soothe teething pains. The practice seemed to have been nearly lost until a Quebec couple with a new baby who was teething, was given a necklace made with beads from the hazelwood tree.

Genevieve Lagace and Patrick Lafond were delighted when they found that the age-old practice seemed to work wonders, so they began to make necklaces for infants, children and adults.

They now have over 70 employees and this is a 100% natural, 100% handmade and 100% Canadian product. They now sell in over 1300 outlets across Canada, the United States and Europe.

Health beneďŹ ts of Hazelwood for the whole family Testimonies from our clients conďŹ rm that Hazelwood relieves or soothes: heartburn, gastric reďŹ&#x201A;ux, teething, skin problems (psoriasis, acne, eczema), arthritis, osteoarthritis, constipation, migraines, cavities or any ailment associated with oxidant stress and/or acid-basic unbalance.

Naming rights policy causes stir at council

EMC News – A new naming rights policy has North Grenville opening the door on future sponsorship deals that could see the monikers of large corporations splashed across municipal assets, including buildings and facilities.

The matter was discussed at Monday evening’s Committee of the Whole and council recommended the policy head to the Nov. 13 council meeting with a few recommendations. According to director of corporate services, Cahl Pominville, the concept for a policy stems from earlier this year when residents approached the municipality to have a road named in honour of Doug dePencier.

Pominville indicated he contacted other municipalities and received their policies which he used to draft the three-page document. He said it will just provide a framework for the naming rights of North Grenville’s parks, open spaces, facilities, streets, roads and other municipal buildings and properties. “…The final decision for naming of corporate assets will rest with council, including naming opportunities as a result of gifts and sponsorships,” the policy states. “The naming of a particular corporate asset is important for public awareness, promotion and emergency access. Therefore, naming will not contravene any policy of the municipality nor reflect negatively on the municipal public image.”

The senior management team have also endorsed the policy. “It’s a good policy to have,” noted Mark Guy, director of parks, recreation and culture. “…Now we have something to follow and can send the policy back to the person or company looking to do this.”

The policy addresses three

types of naming opportunities: the opening of a new corporate asset or reopening of one after refurbishment; providing recognition gifts or sponsorships; and honouring individuals and groups. The document offers recommendations for naming, including natural features, outstanding residents or groups and historic place names, and outlines preferences and where naming rights will be declined. In those cases it will be due to confusion or duplication of names, or those that are discriminatory or derogatory.

It was upon discussing this aspect of the policy where council butted heads Monday evening. The draft policy states that tobacco and alcoholic beverage companies will be excluded from being given naming rights, but some council members thought differently.

“It (naming) can be done discreetly with alcohol,” said councillor Terry Butler, who noted that London had done it with Labatt. “But I would like to see cigarette companies eliminated from this.”

“Unless Molson’s is moving into our backyard and is willing to give us some money, I don’t think we need to have alcohol or cigarette companies in there at all,” added councillor Barb Tobin. “…I’m not sure we’d want their monikers on the front of municipal buildings.”

Councillor Tim Sutton and mayor David Gordon also wanted to see tobacco companies taken out of the policy completely, but had no problem with breweries or alcoholic beverage companies.

“There are major venues that have brewery names on them across Canada,” Gordon stated.

“You’ll have to take my name off it because I won’t support the motion,” Tobin commented. “….Gentlemen, See NAMING page K22

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With less than 50 days until Christmas, local holiday drives are starting to heat up, including Royal LePage Gale Real Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountain of Toys campaign and the Kemptville Salvation Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kettle drive, which kick off Friday, Nov. 16.

Both initiatives will be launched during the Kemptville 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home game versus the Cumberland Grads, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. This will be the fourth year Royal LePage Gale has spearheaded the Mountain of Toys, which collects new and unwrapped toys for the Salvation Army and the North Grenville Community Service Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good drop-off location for it and we like to give back to the community,â&#x20AC;? Royal LePage Gale Real Estate senior branch administrator Judy Littau commented on the reason why the company continues the campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It fills a real need in the area for kids at Christmastime.â&#x20AC;?

As an added incentive, those who bring along a new and unwrapped toy will get a discount on that eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. The cost will be $2 for kids and $5 for adults.

Littau noted the Royal LePage Gale car will take to the ice during the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first intermission when 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players will collect toys from the crowd and fill the vehicle.

This year, the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are jointly promoting the Mountain of Toys with the Kemptville District Minor Hockey Association.

The Salvation Army are gearing up for their annual Christmas campaign, which includes their kettle drive.

At the hockey game, Captain Simon Downey said a Salvation Army brass ensemble will entertain the crowd with Christmas carols in the lobby prior to the game and during the first intermission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will also have a kettle in the lobby there and in other locations throughout

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are open seven days a week for drop-off,â&#x20AC;? Littau commented.

She said she has challenged her womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey league to donate toys and is issuing another challenge to minor hockey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I invite them to challenge the spirit in town and see who can donate the most,â&#x20AC;? she remarked.

New KYC executive director seeks to make centre a community hub

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Less than two weeks into her new role as the executive director of the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC), Robin Heald has hit the ground running and is thrilled to be part of the organization’s future.

Heald, who most recently held a post with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County in resource development, had her first day Oct. 29. She indicated that having previously worked for the Smiths Falls Centre for Youth, when she saw the post for the KYC position, she jumped at the chance.

“I have a long history with youth centres and worked with the youth centre in Smiths Falls as a volunteer for a lot of years and was on the board, but I ended that for the baby making years,” the Smiths Falls resident explained during a recent interview at the centre. “So I was keen to get back into preventative proactive services.”

Heald takes over from longtime executive director Stacey Tenbult who recently left her post with the organization to pursue teaching full-time. KYC board president Teri Devine said the board received more than 30 applications from across the region for the position, but

are confident they chose the right person in Heald.

“She has a not-for-profit background with youth and kids and we’re very pleased to have her on board and we know she’s going to be a great asset to the organization and work very hard to continue to build the capacity of the Kemptville Youth Centre and the local youth and services we provide for them,” Devine stated.

Heald admitted her first week as very busy, as she started right when KYC’s annual haunted house, The Screamatorium, got underway. However, Heald said that as she watched the Halloween decorations come down, she became excited at the amount of space the centre has and wants to see it utilized to its maximum potential. She looks forward to working with fellow staff members Andrew MacLean, program coordinator and program facilitator Darren (Dazz) Isaacs on a number of initiatives.

“The centre has so much physical space potential to serve so many needs in the community more so than just a drop-in centre,” Heald commented. “I envision using the space for so many services not just for our catchment of age 12 to 18, but younger than that and offer some early years programs such as parent and tot

Above, the KYC staff: program coordinator Andrew MacLean, Heald, and program facilitator Darren (Dazz) Isaacs. exercise programs.” “…Having a space for all of that, as children grow into their teenage years, they will love the space already and have positive experiences.”

Heald also wants youth to have the chance to develop life skills and have mentoring opportunities.

“I’d like to bring a little piece of the passion I learned for skills mentoring

at Big Brothers Big Sisters to the youth centre so any youth who wants to learn a skill has the opportunity to be mentored in computer skills, woodworking or another area,” she remarked.

“There are a network of skills mentors from the community who are happy to take the time to pass on those skills to youth, will work with them, mentor

them and give unconditional understanding as they explore the skills.”

Another focus for Heald is to continue to strengthen partnerships KYC has with other organizations, individuals and businesses within the North Grenville community.

“I’d love to develop new partnerships with people who would like to serve children of all ages,” she said, pointing out that she is working on a new partnership that would bring someone into the centre to teach yoga.

With an established electronic drop-off program that brings in additional revenue to KYC, Heald said she would also like to see social enterprise initiatives such as that one continue to flourish.

“I want to build on that (drop-off program) and market that in a wonderful and incredible way,” she stated.

“The money from this program stays in the community providing services for our youth.”

In fact, Heald noted that in the near future she will be inviting members of the public to brainstorm ideas for another social enterprise the youth centre can take on.

There are two stipulations: it must be a concept that will bring in funds for the centre and also something that

allows youth to grow skills “that will take them through life and move forward with their careers or post-secondary education.”

KYC’s strategic plan will be updated over the winter as well so that task is another item topping Heald’s to-do list. She is planning a ‘work bee’ Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to noon and invites volunteers to come and help tidy the youth centre by either washing windows, helping clean carpets, or whatever other services they offer.

With a Bachelor of Arts and Psychology from Trent University, Heald first thought she wanted to serve as a therapist for youth, but her mind quickly changed.

She believes every child has something special to offer.

“There is so much potential in every one of their faces,” Heald said. “...At first I thought I would be working therapeutically after child trauma but I found all my heart was in prevention rather than treatment.”

“I think we can do so much as a community by giving every child that walks in this door friendship, role models, understanding, physical space, wonderful programming and at to that skills that would open up more doors for them,” she added. “Wouldn’t that be a gift for them and the next generation?”

Walker and Associates wins Entrepreneur of the Year entrepreneurs. Dealing with their staff it is obvious that they are a team and share the same vision. They have been a reliable and valued resource for the Small Business Centre and the Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation.”

Last year’s winner of this award was Terry Ann Hare of Beauty Inside.

EMC Business – A local firm has captured Entrepreneur of the Year honours from the Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre.

At the Bridges to Better Business Conference, held at C.J.’s Banquet Hall, Brockville, on Oct. 25, remarks and presentations were made during the lunch hour which included presenting Walker and Associates Professional Corporation with the award for 2012.

Wendy Onstein, manager, Leeds and Grenville Small Business Enterprise Centre, was joined by Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark in making the presentation to the business which has offices in Prescott and Kemptville.

“I would like to thank Wendy and her staff for choosing Walker and Associates,” said David Peer.

“Rob and I wouldn’t be standing here today if it wasn’t for the amazing staff that we have in both offices.

I would also like to thank my lifetime best friend Henry Brunton who drove all the way from Toronto to be here today along with his parents Doug and Catherine Brunton.”

First workshop in 2012-2013 BR+E Alliance seminar series Nov. 21 akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Business – The Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) Alliance has put together a fresh lineup of topics in their 2012-2013 seminar/ workshop series designed to help local small businesses succeed.

While the first workshop in the series will take place Wednesday, Nov. 21 at Purvis Hall in the University of Guelph-Kemptville Campus, the series launch was held Oct. 18 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre as part of Ontario Small Business Week. The evening began with a mini-trade show of BR+E Alliance members showcasing their products and services and included guest speakers, John De Sousa, regional manager with RBC Global Asset Management and Forbes Symon, the Municipality of North Grenville’s director of planning and development.

“I was very happy with the results (of the launch),” noted North Grenville economic development coordinator Teri Devine. “We had over 90 attendees, so we beat our attendance from last year which was great. It shows the continued interest of our business community to come together and celebrate Small Business Week and to do some networking.”

Devine indicated that De Sousa provided guests with a broad overview of the business climate and economy, while Symon focused in on what North Grenville is doing to aid business in the community, including some insight into the municipality’s 2013 development plan.

“Citizens are very interested in finding out what the plans are for the municipality in terms of how it will affect their business as the municipality continues to grow,” Devine explained.

The second part of the Oct. 18 event was unveiling the 2013-2013 BR+E Alliance seminar series, which follows up on the success of last year’s inaugural series. Four different

topics will be explored from November to April all in keeping with the theme of marketing.

“It’s going to be a great series again this year and the theme is marketing,” Devine stated. “We chose it based on the variety of surveys and questions we received over the last year through our other seminars and key topics they wanted to learn about. Marketing came up as number one because it’s one of the biggest challenges for small businesses to market their products and services.”

A new aspect to this year’s seminar series is that all of the sessions will feature local business leaders offering their expertise to help businesses grow. “...These are citizens in our community that are experts in their field so it’s a win/win,” Devine said. “It allows them to hone their skills, promote their business and share their skills and professional development with other businesses. It’s a great model and it’s actually a fairly sustainable model for the future.”

The first workshop on Nov. 21, entitled ‘Developing a Marketing Plan,’ will be an interactive session being facilitated by University of GuelphKemptville Campus consultant Ellen Maclean. She will give attendees tools to identify their customer base and manage how to attract and retain customers, as well as focus on a communication strategy and implement practices to measure the health of your business. Maclean also plans to touch on the use of social media and how businesses can benefit from it.

Devine said many of the sessions will include case studies of other businesses in the community; what has worked for them and what hasn’t.

Other upcoming topics will be ‘Smart Marketing on a Small Budget’ with Kevin Savoy of ActionCOACH and Tom Graham of TD Graham + Associates on Jan. 23; ‘Online Marketing and Social Media’ featuring Greg Smith of BizSmith and Jeff Christy of Excelwith on Feb. 27; and ending

The Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) Alliance launched its 2012-2013 seminar/workshop series during a special evening Oct. 18 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Above, business leaders in the community gather for networking prior to hearing guest speakers John De Sousa of RBC Global Asset Management and Forbes Symon, director of planning and development for the Municipality of North Grenville. The first installment of the series, developing a marketing plan, is set for Nov. 21 at Purvis Hall in University of Guelph-Kemptville Campus. with ‘Business Networking and Relationship Marketing’ with Business Networking International’s (BNI) executive director Denis Brisson April 10. All sessions will be held at Purvis Hall from 6 to 9 p.m.

BR+E Alliance Formed last year, the BR+E Alliance is made up of local business organizations including the North Grenville Business Builders; Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation; Old Town

Kemptville Business Improvement Area; North Grenville Chamber of Commerce; CSE Consulting; Leeds & Grenville Small Business Entrepreneurship Centre; Kemptville chapter of BNI; Kemptville Women in Business; business development department of University of Guelph-Kemptville Campus; as well as North Grenville’s economic development department. According to Devine, the model has been an “amazing success story.”

“When I look back to when

we started, trying to provide business services, seminars, workshops and information sessions to local businesses was a struggle and each of the business organizations were working on their own and trying to market themselves to local businesses. It’s very difficult to get the information out there in a collaborative and cohesive way so everyone gets the message,” she explained.

With more than 250 attendees at last year’s seminar series, Devine said the business

community has embraced it. “...What that (attendance) tells us is that businesses are thirsty for the information. They want to be informed, they want to network and want to work together and deliver business skills and want to do it in a group environment and share it with other business owners,” she commented.

All sessions are offered at no charge to businesses (“We want to make it as affordable as possible,” Devine said) and it’s easy to register thanks to a new BR+E Alliance website, www. northgrenvillebusiness.com, designed and developed by NGBB member Greg Smith of BizSmith and Deborah Gerylo of Pixels & Print Design.

“People can hop online and register and they will receive notification back and a ticket they can bring with them to the event,” she said. “We’re encouraging people to register this way because it’s a onestop shop, makes sense and it’s very easy.”

While there, visitors can learn all about the BR+E Alliance, watch videos of previous seminars and stay up-todate on local business news.

Previously, the Alliance had a webpage on the municipality’s economic development site, www.greenandgrowing. ca, but Devine indicated the separate site is a “more cohesive way to get information out to people.”

The McGarry Family Chapels-Hulse, Playfair & McGarry have purchased the Grant Brown Funeral Home in Kemptville. An open house was held on Nov. 8 to celebrate the transfer of the ownership. Left to right are: Justine Koopman, Patrick McGarry, Robert Belton, Ron Seguin, Shirley Jackson, Mark Dayneka, Sharon McGarry.

The new ownership has already resulted in some changes to the inside of the funeral home at 805 Prescott St. There is a new wide screen television in one of the visitation rooms so that people can watch a memorial cd. There are new chairs in the chapel and more space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really working towards a long-term commitment to this community,â&#x20AC;? said McGarry. He said they had plans to relocate the chapel up to highway 43 in the near future. He explained he wanted

to be involved in the community whenever possible.

North Grenville Mayor David Gordon was at the open house and said the acquisition was great for the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is good,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The McGarry family is a great corporate citizen and a good family.â&#x20AC;?

Brian McGarry has written a book called â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Paupers to Prime Ministers-a Life in Deathâ&#x20AC;? that chronicles the history of the McGarry family business from its beginnings in 1925.

The book along with its companion book which has complementary photographs that follow the timeline of the story, demonstrates why the McGarry family was so successful in their business efforts and so appreciated by their community.

Patrick McGarry said he wants to bring that level of dedication and commitment to serving the North Grenville community.

GARDENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER

R0011726268_1108

Christmas is coming OK, Halloween is checked and done, hurricane season is just about ďŹ nished ( I hope ) and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start thinking about what to get the gardener on your list for Christmas.

The following suggestions are all over the map as far as cost is concerned, so choose what ďŹ ts your budget.

First and foremost a good set of hand pruners and I mean a good pair. The cheap ones donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last. You will pay over ďŹ fty dollars but they are worth it and anything in that category will have replaceable blades.

Just a note: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy tools with green handles. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what some designers are thinking. You take your tools out into the garden, where ( hopefully ) everything is green and put your tool down for a few minutes. The only way youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to ďŹ nd it, is with the lawn mower. Buy tools with bright red or orange handles.

Next up is a good set of loppers. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go small, get the ones with extendable handles and a ratcheting head, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thank me. With these puppies you can prune hockey sticks. ( Remember when hockey sticks were made of wood ?)

The next essential is a good wheelbarrow.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother with those dinky little plastic ones, get one that will do the job and hold up in the weather. I know some people actually put their wheelbarrow back in the shed but at our house they double for a rain gauge.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an idea that shows you put some thought and time into your gift and the cost in most cases is FREE ! Go online to the different seed suppliers across Canada and request a catalogue. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only too happy to send you these glossy offerings for next season. You just have to get to the mailbox before your gardener or have them sent to another address. Stokes and Veseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are two of the best and both offer gift certiďŹ cates.

While on the subject of gift certiďŹ cates, they are never a bad choice if you get the right ones. Get to know your gardenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite spots to shop. They offer endless possibilities and allow your gardener to get exactly what they want.

Two must have books for any gardener are â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canadian Encyclopedia of Gardeningâ&#x20AC;? by Christopher Brickell (a little pricey but worth it) and my favourite go to book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plant Propagation A-Zâ&#x20AC;?

by Geoff Bryant. The amount of useful information in this book is astounding and it is very well illustrated.

And while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, throw in a couple of stocking stuffers. A proper nursery marker or a Ph test kit always comes in handy. And last but not least a small pen knife. I never leave home without it.

If you have any gardening questions contact us at info@ďŹ&#x201A;oraldesignlandscaping.com Submitted by Gord Knights, Manager Floral Design Nursery

EMC Business - Growth and success and loyalty in any community attract more of the same.

Grant Brown, owner of the Grant Brown Funeral HomeRolston Chapel in Kemptville decided it was time for him to move on to something different after 28 years serving the North Grenville community.

He was determined to ensure the tradition he had built his business on and continued to nurture would be maintained in a way the Kemptville community expected.

He turned to the McGarry family in Ottawa as his first choice to take over his family business.

Owners of the McGarry Family Chapels, Hulse Playfair and McGarry, the McGarry family, has been serving Ottawa and the surrounding area for the past 87 years. Their appreciation and respect for the communities they serve makes them the perfect match for the North Grenville community. Their desire for growth and their loyalty to their community is all that Grant Brown could have asked for.

On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 9, the McGarry family hosted an open house to formally welcome the Grant Brown Funeral Home â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Rolston Chapel to the McGarry family of chapels. The landmark business also acquired the Purcell Chapel in Spencerville. Last year they purchased the Cummings -Lee Funeral home in North Gower.

Along with their business in Wakefield, Quebec they also own and operate three other funeral chapels in Ottawa. Their family business has become a tradition and part of the fabric of the community.

Sharon McGarry, president and co-owner of McGarry Family Chapels said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an excellent fit for us.â&#x20AC;? The transfer of ownership included the staff who were already working in Kemptville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are delighted that the staff have stayed on,â&#x20AC;? explained McGarry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a great team here.â&#x20AC;?

Patrick McGarry is the chief operating officer for the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a community we have been watching for a while,â&#x20AC;? he said. Grant Brown had similar values as the McGarry family and coming to Kemptville was a natural progression for their business, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel we have a close bond and tie to the community,â&#x20AC;? he said.

McGarry said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This open house is an opportunity to meet some of the new folks in our community and for you to meet us.â&#x20AC;? He added that they have had a wonderful welcome to the North Grenville community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a natural for us. We feel privileged to be here to serve the community.â&#x20AC;?

The number for their Central Chapels in Ottawa is 613233-1143.

Let poppy pins stand on their own

E

MC Editorial – “Forgive them; for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34).

It’s not often that this newspaper finds itself forgiving the likes of Quebec’s new separatist premier, Pauline Marois. But considering that others in our midst sin as she has sinned, and not even been aware of it, we feel that we can certainly extend her some sympathy and take her at her word.

During her inaugural speech at the National Assembly in Quebec City at the end of October, she wore a poppy – pinned to her lapel with a fleur-de-lys pin. She has since removed the provincial symbol from her poppy, after an outcry from veterans in la belle province and across the country.

She later said she meant no disrespect, and did not want to create controversy.

But here’s the thing – look around you on the street, or in line for a coffee this week.

How many people are holding their own poppies in place with a Canadian flag pin? Many people believe that merging two complimentary symbols together is appropriate.

After all, you can’t have one without the other, figuratively, and one supports the other, both literally and figuratively.

Like other Canadians, Marois’ press secretary, Marie Barrette, said that the premier was consolidating two symbols, and also wanted to avoid wearing two separate decorations on her lapel.

To add to the confusion, we have heard ample anecdotal evidence that veterans who are selling poppies – likely just trying to be helpful – are advising people to hold their poppies in place with Canadian flag pins.

In all likelihood, Marois, along with other Canadians, are still not aware of the proper protocol for the poppies, something federal Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney sought to remedy last week when he reminded Canadians that it is not appropriate to wear any other symbols in combination with the poppy, including the Canadian flag.

But there are some simple solutions to this that even the Legion aggress with – either bend the pin behind the poppy so as it does not fall out or, for the ladies, take the plastic backing that keeps your earrings in place, and use that on the pin to keep the poppy where it should be – on the left side of your chest, over, or as near as possible, to your heart.

MC Lifestyle Hunting season is pretty big in this household. The Farmer spends a few weeks preparing deer stands and practicing his aim on ducks and geese, which are in season from September. Occasionally he gets a coyote too, which are always in season— the little lamb-stealers — (insert profanity here).

I’m not crazy about duck and goose but the Farmer makes a mean demi-glace of fruit and spices when he serves wild game. He has his hunting party over for an openingday feast, at the beginning of duck season and again at the beginning of the deer hunt.

Sometimes I think this hunting thing is more about cigars, wine and food than the actual sport of hunting. Oh well. It keeps them happy.

I think it’s important for a couple to have separate interests, so they don’t drive each other crazy. Of course you need to share experiences

Let the deer hunt begin together but it’s also good to have your own hobbies with your own circle of friends.

Hunting is that for the Farmer.

It was part of his upbringing and he made it clear when we married that it was his dealbreaker. It’s just part of his lifestyle, and he doesn’t have to go away to a hunt camp to do it.

We have 200 acres of land along a mile of Kemptville Creek. A lot of critters live here. We haven’t seen deer in years, maybe because of the coyotes. But this year we rented some of our land and corn was planted. Now the deer should return. The Farmer was out in his new castle in the corn the other night and saw a buck and three does. He was pretty excited about that.

Not everyone hunts, or even appreciates the value of hunting, so it’s important to be sensitive to others. We will occasionally find discarded beer cases or the carcasses of animals in garbage bags along our road during hunting

The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher season. It’s those hunters who give the sport a bad name for the others. You’re supposed to remain unseen and leave no trace behind.

The Farmer brought in a big doe a few years ago. I was told to stay out of the shed where he cleans them – he’s pretty considerate of my

nerves. But one morning I was just heading off to work when I heard his ATV return.

I was shocked to see he had a huge deer strapped to the front of his four-wheeler.

I put my hand on her side.

Her smooth hide was the exact gray shade of tree bark. I am always amazed that something so big and beautiful maintains such a secretive coexistence with us on our 200 acres. It’s like capturing a unicorn.

The Farmer watched me as I examined the deer. We both had tears in our eyes. It is always a humbling moment, I think, for a hunter. I’m no hunter but I understand the awe, and the mixed emotions.

She was so beautiful.

I said a little thank-you to the doe, and stepped away from the ATV. Feeling brave, I offered to help my husband to lift the doe off the machine.

When he untied the rope that restrained her, however, one of her long limbs slipped and an elegant high-heeled hoof tapped me. I jumped and

screamed. And was consequently banished to the farmhouse. I guess I’ll leave the dirty work to the Farmer.

Last weekend the hunters honed their skills with partridge. Anastasia brought her hunting dog for the first time and he emerged from the brush with a bird in his mouth.

It was a proud moment for Rupert, the huntin’ dog. The hunters sighted their guns and prepared all their equipment for the deer hunt. The weather looks good: cool and damp.

That will get the deer moving. There’s nothing sadder

than a deer hunter on a warm November day. They like the cold.

My hunter will get up long before dawn (about the same time I get up for my morning show, actually) and pull on about eight layers of clothing before heading down to sit in a tree, his thermos of coffee in hand. He will watch the sun rise and possibly get a deer. And even if he doesn’t, he will be happy. Because for him, the ritual of being outdoors among the wildlife this time of year is enough.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Remember the brave men and women who protect our freedom DEAR EDITOR: EMC Editorial – Every Remembrance Day, residents of Leeds-Grenville take the time to honour and pay tribute to those who fought for the liberation of millions around the world and died defending our freedoms.

During the world’s darkest hours – from Vimy Ridge in the First World War, to Dieppe and Juno Beach in the Second World War, defending Seoul during the Korean War, to restoring stability in Bosnia, Rwanda and now Kandahar – when duty called, Canadians bravely answered.

Remembrance Day gives us an opportunity to remember those who have worn our

country’s uniform and have given the ultimate sacrifice in defence of Canadian values.

Their sacrifice for Canada is something we must never take for granted. The debt we owe those brave men and women is incalculable.

During the time-honoured wave of silence, Ontarians will pause to remember the brave soldiers, sailors, air men and women who gave their lives in service of Canada and our values. We remember their sacrifices and cherish the country they made possible.

I encourage everyone to take a moment to remember our veterans’ bravery, their determination, and their conviction that has led to our military successes and has afforded us

the peace and prosperity we enjoy today.

Indeed Canada’s respected standing in the world is in large part due to the courage our veterans have shown in conflicts across the globe.

Here in Leeds-Grenville, residents will gather for annual Remembrance Day services and pay their respects at cenotaphs throughout the riding on Sunday.

On behalf of the residents of Leeds-Grenville, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of the men and women who have bravely served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Lest we forget.

Newest doctor at Kemptville Health Centre makes full-time commitment EMC News – Dr. Tania Zakhem is the newest physician at the busy Kemptville Health Centre on the Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) campus. She opened her family medicine clinic at the KDH Health Centre on Oct. 1 and is working at building up her patient roster.

Dr. Zakhem also spends a week every three months on the medical/surgical floor at KDH providing inpatient care.

In addition, she works shifts in the KDH ER. On top of all of that, Dr. Zakhem is collaborating with Kemptville’s Beth Donovan Hospice (located in the former KDH emergency department) to provide palliative care to clients of the Hospice who don’t have a family doctor. This allows these patients who are nearing the end of their lives to die in the comfort of their own homes.

Dr. Zakhem thrives on her busy schedule and the variety it offers. “Part of the reason I came here was the opportunity to be involved in numerous aspects of patient care,” she said. “You can’t get that in a big city.”

As a child, Dr. Zakhem knew she wanted to be a doctor, and a family doctor at that.

As she worked toward her M.D. degree, she loved every component of her training, and she knew her decision was right for her.

“Family physicians get to do it all,” she explained.

Dr. Zakhem is a recent graduate of the Family Medicine program at the University of Ottawa. She did the majority of her training at KDH, finishing her residency with Dr. Tara

McCallan at the KDH Health Centre at the end of June.

During her training Dr. Zakhem developed a great working relationship with the doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals at KDH; she found the staff at KDH “unlike any other.” She also found KDH to be “a hospital that stands behind its mission and vision.”

In addition she discovered a “wonderful, supportive community” in Kemptville and has enjoyed exploring the town and the surrounding area.

Dr. Zakhem had been looking for a community she could make a long-term commitment to, and she found it in Kemptville. “I’m excited and happy to be here and looking forward

to the years ahead,” she said.

“Support from the community and the hospital has been wonderful and I’m very grateful for the warm reception I’ve received.”

The KDH board of directors initiated the KDH Health Centre in 2003 in recognition of the fact that the community was at that time under-serviced for family physicians. KDH’s chief executive officer (CEO) Colin Goodfellow, sees Dr. Zakhem’s decision to commit to Kemptville as a reflection on the community.

“The KDH Health Centre has a remarkable team of doctors,” he said. “Attracting such a promising young physician as Dr. Zakhem reinforces North Grenville’s reputation as a place with a commitment to building healthy communities.”

This year’s PartyLite Charity Fundraiser to benefit Community Living

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Until Nov. 19, local residents who purchase a sweet-smelling candle through PartyLite will also be showing their support for Community Living North Grenville (CLNG).

Kemptville resident (and PartyLite fan) Rosemary Theriault is once again offering her seventh annual PartyLite Charity Fundraiser, where in lieu of hostess rewards, 30 per cent of the sales from the fundraiser will be donated to CLNG. “I have always tried to be involved in my community,” Theriault said of the reason why she continues the initiative.

“Whether it was managing my kids’ soccer teams when they were young, taking part in community clean-ups, or canvassing door-to-door for organizations.

“To be involved is very rewarding for me personally and gives me a sense of pride and ownership. I think that when people really care about the community and are involved in ways both big and small, it not only makes us happier, but it fulfills that basic desire to be a good human being,” Theriault continued.

“It’s like we’re all pieces of a giant puzzle, which, when we come together, can make something really special.”

Last year, the Cheryl J. Brown Centre (Kemptville

& District Home Support Inc.) benefitted from the fundraiser and past charities who have received proceeds include, Theriault said that after attending CLNG’s popular Comedy Night back in April, she was prompted to do something for the nonprofit organization. “…The opportunity to volunteer presented itself to me that evening, when I filled out a card left on the table. A few days later I received a phone call from Nancy Fischer (of CLNG) and after meeting with her to discuss how I could get involved, I chose to volunteer to walk someone in the community,” she remarked.

“I have very much enjoyed

my time spent with Timothy every Tuesday evening as I push him in his wheelchair throughout the community.

I know how much he has enjoyed getting out too, for he has a very special way of expressing his delight!”

“And so, because of my volunteer work with Community Living and seeing the good they do for those in the community, I wanted to do what I could in return, above and beyond the volunteering aspect,” Theriault added.

In the past, Theriault has committed 20 per cent of the sales to the charity but with Burich’s help, she’s increased that figure to 30 per cent this year. “In consultation with Brenda, she decided to include a portion of her commission, as we all play a role in supporting local organizations,” Theriault stated.

“She said that my passion for that is infectious and she wanted to be a part of that and do her share by giving back.”

Participating in the fundraiser is easy: pick up PartyLite catalogues and order forms at the CLNG building

(2830 County Road 43) and drop it back off with your order and payment before the Monday, Nov. 19 deadline.

“The success of last year’s fundraiser was very encouraging for me and it was the first time I actually involved the charity being sponsored!

I asked them to participate by giving out catalogues and order forms and together with my party and the cov-

erage in the local paper, the event was very successful,” she noted.

“Christmas is coming and what better way to celebrate the season than with candles,” Theriault concluded.

For more information on the PartyLite charity fundraiser, please contact Burich at 613-258-9852, email bfraser21@hotmail.com or visit www.partylite.biz/bburich.

LEESON, Lyle Wellington - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, who passed away November 14, 2011.

God looked around His garden and found an empty place He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew you would never get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough and the hills are hard to climb so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be thine.”

A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest it broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone for part of us went with you the day God called you Home.

Love you always Kay and family

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

SANSOME, David John – October 11, 1938-November 11, 2010.

Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break, But all in vain.

To have to love And then to part Is the greatest sorrow Of one’s heart.

Sadly missed by Sheila, Alan and Meghan

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

WAUGH – In Memory of Jaimie Kevin Waugh ( May 24 1964 to November 6 2011) Dad wasn’t a hero known by the world.

But a hero he was to his little boy and girl.

We knew his voice before we could speak, and loved it when he would sing us to sleep.

Dad taught us life’s lessons of right from wrong, And instilled in us values that we might be strong.

So through the years like a hero he stood, Working to give all that he could.

His presence was important and we loved to see him smile, For no one in the world could emulate his style.

And so dear dad our best memory to recall, Is the gift of your presence, The Greatest Gift Of All. Dearly missed by your son Brandon Il D d!

“WE REMEMBER”

WAUGH – In Loving Memory of my Daddy, Jaimie Kevin Waugh, (May 24, 1964 to November 6, 2011) Daddy, some days I can hear your voice and I turn to your face; Yet in my turning it seems the sound has been erased.

Who will I turn to for answers When life does not make any sense; Who will be there to hold me close When I am feeling very tense; Oh, Daddy if I could turn back time And once more hear your voice; I’d tell you that out of all the Daddy’s You would still be my only choice.

Please always know I Love You And no one can take your place; The years may come and go, But your memory will not be erased, Today, Grandpa, as you are listening In your home up above, Would you go and find my Daddy And give him all my love.

I will always be your little girl!

Dearly missed by daughter Jody-Anne Forever and ever loved

Those we love don’t go away They walk beside us everyday Unseen, unheard, but always near Still loved, still missed and very dear In our memories forever Clarence, Chris, Bruce & grandchildren

To those who knew my parents Agnes and Al: It is my wish to create a lasting memory of my parents for our grandson Kolton and his sibling. They are the next branch on the family tree that my parents started when they came to Canada and I do not want their legacy to die. In doing so, I am putting together a compilation of my Mom’s favourite recipes along with my Dad’s ‘Memoirs’, and even some stories as a lasting memory. If you have a picture of one of “Mrs. Kolarik’s Cakes” or possibly a recipe or little story about either of them - it would mean the world to me!

I can be reached at gnpwilliams@rogers.com.

Thank you!

HALL, Audrey M. - November 11, 1992. In loving memory of a dear “Nan”.

Remembering you is easy We do it everyday Missing you is the hardest part As it never goes away.

To hear your voice To see you smile To sit with you and talk for awhile Would be our greatest wish Today, tomorrow our whole life through, We shall always love and remember you.

Missing you, Kevin (Krista), Brent (Donna) Leanne (Chad), Tyler, Kaylee, Keisha, and Haden

WAUGH – In Memory of Jaimie Kevin Waugh ( May 24, 1964 to November 6, 2011) We watched you laugh!

We watched you cry!

We sat with you and watched you die!

A year has passed since you closed your tired eyes.

We never wanted to lose you or have to say goodbye, but we didn’t have a choice.

Your parents saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.

They put their arms around you and whispered, “time to come home to me.”

A golden heart stopped beating.

Hard working hands at rest.

It’s lonesome here without you, we miss you more and more each day.

Life doesn’t seem the same on earth, Since you have gone away.

When days are sad and lonely and everything seems to go wrong, We somehow 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 my parents arms now, Until we meet again someday.”

You Will Always Be My Asphalt Cowboy!

Forever loved and dearly missed Sue

We wish we could have been at his side.

Although it never will be the same.

And treasure his picture in it’s frame.

Hopefully as time goes on, it will become easier to bear. You left us with so many memories to reflect on, and these bring us comfort and a smile, but there will always remain a void that only you can fill.

This action is a last resort and for the McGuinty government to put us in this position was both unnecessary and regrettable. We are still hopeful that we can find a resolution to the crisis that the government has created. However, at this time, the reality of achieving settlements seems remote and tensions and actions will likely escalate,â&#x20AC;? Coran emphasized.

He concluded that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has never been our intent to impact the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; learning experience. The government has a choice to make: work collaboratively as we have in the past to problem-solve or continue to undermine the successes that have made Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education system one of the best in the world.â&#x20AC;?

EMC News - Twenty-seven bargaining units of the Ontario Secondary School Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (OSSTF/FEESO) began legal strike sanctions on Wednesday, Nov. 7 after negotiations with their respective school boards failed to produce tentative agreements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is disappointing that we have not been able to achieve deals with local school boards to this point,â&#x20AC;? noted OSSTF/ FEESO President Ken Coran in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the ability of both sides to negotiate a fair deal has been obstructed by the actions of the Minister of Education and the Liberal government through the passing of Bill 115 in September.â&#x20AC;?

OSSTF/FEESO work sanctions will be implemented in eight school boards, including: -- Toronto District School Board (Teachers) -- Trillium Lakelands District School Board (Professional Student Services Personnel, Teachers, Occasional Teachers)

CCHL names Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Maniccia player of the week EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Remarkable back-to-back games has earned a Smiths Falls Bears forward the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) Corporate Hype Player of the Week honours.

Chris Maniccia led the Bears to a 2-0 record this past week with wins over the Brockville Braves and Kanata Stallions. The St. Catharines, Ont., native had an incredible 11 points (five goals and six assists) in two games, and was selected a first and second game star for his efforts.

scoring with an impressive 41 points (16 goals, 25 assists) in 22 games played thus far.

Honorable mention for the week are Carleton Place Canadians forward Alex Globke and Pembroke Lumber Kings goalie Andy Munroe.

The two Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; victories last weekend also kept the club in the Canadian Junior Hockey League top 20, moving up two spots to #17. The Canadians, who sit second to the Bears in the CCHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robinson Division, were acknowledged as an Honorable Mention.

Chris Maniccia celebrates at the bench after scoring his hat trick goal against the Braves in Brockville on Friday.

His five goals and six assists in two games last weekend earned him the CCHL Corporate Hype Player of the Week honours.

Students were at Caldwell Street Public School were challenged to raise funds for Terry Fox and cancer research â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and raise funds they did â&#x20AC;&#x201C; over $3,700 was brought in for the cause. To fulfill their end of the bargain, principal Carole Dufort dyed her hair pink, centre, vice-principal Lea Doxey, left, tap danced in front of the student population and teacher Marc Baillon had the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Courageâ&#x20AC;? shaved into the back of his head. The studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; successful fundraising efforts were celebrated Oct. 31 during the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly excellence assembly. Special presentations also took place that day, several classes sang for their peers and parents who attended, and the Caldwell Street Public School cheerleaders performed a set as well. Inset, Marc Baillon had the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Courageâ&#x20AC;? shaved into the back of his head.

Carleton Place Family of Schools offering Family Fitness classes EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carleton Place family of schools is offering family fitness classes to the Carleton Place community for the entire school year.

From October to June, students, families, friends, and community members will have the opportunity to try out a new fitness class each month, thanks to a Parents Reaching Out grant from the provincial govern-

ment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We applied for the grant earlier this year, and were excited to find out that we received it in September,â&#x20AC;? said Caldwell Street Public School Vice-Principal Lea Doxey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We created this initiative to give people in our community the opportunity to try new fitness classes, improve their health and wellness, and visit our great schools.â&#x20AC;?

The following is the schedule of events for the next four months: November: Family Games and Circuits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Get Moving!, Back on Track Physiotherapy & Sports Injury, http://backontrackphysio.com/ taking place at the Beckwith Public School Nov. 14, 21, 28, 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Doxey said participants must pre-register for each activity by contacting CPFamilyFitness@

ucdsb.on.ca. Admission for each event is by donation to the Upper Canada District School Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Champions for Kids Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take this great opportunity to come out and get fit with your entire family!â&#x20AC;? said Doxey.

Friends of Library annual meeting includes special trivia night Nov. 15 EMC News – The Friends of the North Grenville Public Library (NGPL) are preparing for their annual general meeting (AGM) set for Thursday, Nov. 15.

The meeting will be held at the NGPL in the program room and begins at 7 p.m. It will start with a short business meeting and elections and follow with the presentation of some special volunteer awards.

“Two new members of the Friends executive will be elected that evening; the members of the nominating committee are Dr.Helen Bunn and Robyn Harris,” noted Friends of NGPL chair Pat Babin. “Four Star of the Library awards will also be presented to indi-

viduals who have made a difference in relation to our new library.”

The highlight of the evening will be the Celebrity Trivia Bee, judged by NGPL chief executive officer (CEO) Sue Higgins, with questions chosen by Friends member Roberta Russell.

Scorekeeper and timer will be Peter Bunn.

Co-inquisitors Jim Armour, chair of the NGPL board, and Fran Thompson, Friends member will try and stump eight celebrity contestants.

“Among the contestants are Cathy Lindsey, Mike McIntosh, Harry Pratt, June Norgaard, Brenda Hill, Barb Tobin, David Shanahan and Eddie Como,” Babin said,

adding that prizes afterwards will be presented by Bill McElrea.

Babin said the trivia bee will have a “strong literacy connection” and will focus on current events, Canadiana, sports, literature, geography and history.

All members of the Friends of the NGPL and their friends are invited to this event and refreshments, including the special tenth anniversary punch and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

The evening is being sponsored by the North Grenville Public Library.

EMC News – Carol Houston, left, of Ronald McDonald House Ottawa received a $6,500 cheque from Herb Lagois of Lagois Drafting and Construction Inc. in North Gower recently. This represents the funds raised this year at the annual company golf tournament at Manderley on the Green Golf & Country Club.

Lagois has been supporting Ronald McDonald House for more than 15 years and was recently designated as the sponsor of one of the two Family Rooms at CHEO under the management of Ronald McDonald House providing a “home in the hospital” for the families of sick children.

This year marks 90th anniversary of Kemptville Cenotaph

Open 7 days a week!

The Kemptville Cenotaph will observe its 90th anniversary this year. It was originally located on the north side lot of the former Kemptville post office on Prescott St. when it was unveiled on June 3, 1922. Above, a Remembrance Day service at the post office location circa late 1940s. Left, the cenotaph today.

Korea inscription added In 1988, at the request of Legionnaire Lawson Arcand, a Veteran of World War II, the inscription â&#x20AC;&#x153;Korea 1950 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1953â&#x20AC;? was added to the lower part of the centre base of the Cenotaph, in recognition of soldiers that served during the Korean War.

Relocation of cenotaph The cenotaph was relocated to the front lawn of the North Grenville District High School in November 1961, due to what was described at the time as being cramped quarters at the former post office location.

Damage and mischief On a dark October 1992 day in the history of this silent sentinel, the cenotaph was attacked and damaged by vandals who decapitated the statue of the soldier and chipped off parts of the rifle and rifle sling.

The perpetrators were tracked down and the head of the statue was later located as the result of a highly praised follow-up investigation by members of the former Kemptville Police Department. That saved an estimated cost that was said to be in excess of $25,000 to have a professional stone carver create a matching replacement. Still, the resulting repair costs were close to $3,000.

Brief history of Kemptville Cenotaph The Kemptville Cenotaph was designed and manufactured in 1921, using seven blocks of Stanstead grey granite from the Beebe, Quebec quarry and includes the carved statue of a young soldier, bases and twin shafts.

During the month of May 1922, the cenotaph was erected on the north side lot of the old Kemptville post office on Prescott St., through the combined financial efforts of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute and the Town of Kemptville, Oxfordon-Rideau and South Gower Councils. An official unveiling ceremony was held on June 3, 1922, in memory of the men from these municipalities who laid down their lives in the

The cenotaph is formally registered with the Department of National Defence, Directorate of History and Heritage, National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials as Memorial Number 35041-018.

The following is an excerpt from a speech made by Reeve Dr. W.F. Storey that was published in the Weekly Advance, dated Thursday, Nov. 10, 1921, entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lest We Forget.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was reminded that just a year ago the president had gently reproved the civic fathers for their procrastination in the erection of a Memorial, but was pleased to announce that through the co-operation of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute, the Town Council, the Oxford Township Council, and, he hoped, the Council of the Township of South Gower, the ground had been broken, a Memorial Monument ordered and he hoped that before long it would be completed and erected.â&#x20AC;?

(The reference to â&#x20AC;&#x153;presidentâ&#x20AC;? refers to Corporal H.F. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Callaghan, who was the president of the GWVA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Great War Veterans Association of the day).

research conducted by accessing the National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials database, resulted in learning that there are three other cenotaphs in Ontario having very similar designs to the Kemptville Cenotaph.

They are located in Cape Croker (Memorial Number 35009-001), Sunderland (Memorial Number 35093-020) and Wiarton (Memorial Number 35009-012).

During the restoration process, the name of Private Blake Williamson (Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2006) was added to the 50 names listed on the twin shafts of the cenotaph, the first name to be added to the memorial since World War II. A special re-dedication service was held on Saturday, June 16, 2007.

The Branch Artisans (Kemptville) hold Christmas Show & Sale EMC News - On Nov. 3 and 4, The Branch Artisans Guild (Kemptville) and local artisans from the surrounding areas started the Christmas shopping season off early with their show & sale at the W.B. George Centre, at the University of Guelph Kemptville College campus.

Each year for the past three years this event has been growing offering shoppers new and trendy unique items to offer to that special someone at Christmas time.

Organizers are always happy to see returning visitors and pleased to see new ones that return each year to see what is new.

Guild members have noticed that over these years more and more visitors visit the show from areas such as Toronto, Kingston, Brockville, Prescott, and Ottawa/ Kanata/Orleans.

People have come to shop early for the best selection from the Guilds 50 artisans that are at the show.

Adding a bit of fun and a great deal of music to the Branch Artisans Christmas Show and Sale were George Buys on the left and Josef Mieto. Both musicians were releasing their CD’s at the show. George Buys had his Roosterman Blues Band CD and Josef Mieto had his new CD called Bad Eyes.

The show has an easy-going atmosphere. When visitors are not looking at a vendor’s product they are chatting with them. One shopper, Heather Bryan from North Augusta was surprised and pleased to find that a conversation with one of the vendors at the show, Mike Courteau of Mike R. Courteau Wood Turning, solved a problem she encountered on her property.

Bryan, who has a horse farm, noticed that she had a stand of black walnut trees on her property. The bark of the trees is poison to her horses.

The relatively young trees would have to be removed.

She wanted to take her trees

have them milled so that they could be used instead of simply burning them or discarding them. They were not the right size for her to take to a mill to be processed.

While talking to Mike Courteau about wood working in general, she told him about her dilemma with her black walnut trees. He told her that there might be a way to solve her problem. He explained that in Victorian times woodworkers called Bodgers specialised in making chair legs for chairs. Bodging is the name of a traditional woodturning craft, using green or unseasoned wood to make chair legs and other parts of

chairs.

Bodgers had a special tool which they used to split the wood along its natural grain, preserving its strength. This way, they could take trees that were relatively weak, split them into chair leg size strips.

The resulting strip of wood retained its strength.

Bryan, when she heard the story realised she could salvage the trees on her property and use them for making picture frames. All she needed to find was the special tool used by the Bodgers. As luck would have it Courteau has such a tool, he believes is called a froe. One end of the tool is shaped like a chisel the other is a round cylinder of wood that can be hit with a hammer.

The technique is to place the chiselled end along the grain of the end piece of a small tree that has been cut and then hit the wooden part with a hammer, splitting the tree along its grain. Courteau had one in his truck. “I don’t even remember where I got it,” he said. He gave it to Bryan. She was pleased for the advice and for the woodworking tool. He gave it to her as a gift.

After each show & sale, the organizers get together and try to come up with something new and trendy to offer shoppers. This year, to enhance the local culture within the Kemptville area organizers

invited a local author, Jennifer DeBruin, to do a book signing on one of our many historical pasts. Her book is entitled “A Walk with Mary” written about the lost Villages of the St. Lawrence River. Jennifer was on hand both Saturday and Sunday to talk to many shoppers about her book and was also delighted to hear their stories as well.

On Sunday, shoppers were entertained by two local musicians, Josef Mieto, who was offering up his new cd entitled “Bad Eyes” and George Buys was also on hand. George was selling his CD he had just released entitled “Rosterman”. Both visitors and artisans thoroughly enjoyed the music by both musicians who created a relaxing and entertaining atmosphere to this year’s event. Once again visitors to the show were very generous towards the Salvation Army. Funds collected this year amounted to $770.88 in contributions as well as an abundance of dry and canned goods. This year’s main door prize winner was Ann Newton from the Kemptville area.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar next year for the first weekend in November to drop by and see what the Branch Artisans Guild will have for you.

Kemptville 73’s drop pair to Kings, Grads

By BRIAN WILSON

EMC Sports - The Kemptville 73’s, hoping to carry on the momentum of their big win over Smiths Falls last week, faced the Pembroke Lumber Kings on Friday, November 2, when they invaded the Municipal Centre.

It turned out to be a high tempo end-to-end game with not a whole lot of action.

The Kings scored one goal in each period while the 73’s were unable to solve Pembroke’s goalie, Andy Munroe.

Kemptville held the edge in shots on goal by one, 25-24.

The 73’s Matt Tugnutt was named third star in the 3-0 loss.

Kemptville’s Blaine Byron, who calls Manotick home, is presently in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Byron was invited to the Canada East tryout camp and was selected to be part of the team. Canada East is comprised of players from five leagues.

The players come from the CCHL, Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL), Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League (NOJHL), Ligue de hockey junior AAA du Québec (LHJAAAQ) and the Maritime Hockey League (MHL).

Canada East will be competing in the Junior A Hockey Challenge. The annual event

features six teams. Joining Canada East is Switzerland, the United States, Canada West, Russia and the Czech Republic.

In a pre-tournament game against Russia, Byron drew first blood, just 82 seconds into the game. Canada East went on to a 4-2 victory. The tournament runs November 5-11.

On Sunday, November 4, Kemptville travelled to the Navan Memorial Centre to face the Cumberland Grads.

Kemptville’s Brett Varrin scored the first goal of the game, his sixth of the year, from Jacob smith and Quinn Carroll.

It was all but over 15 minutes later as the Grads went on to score five straight goals, two of them on the power play.

But the 73’s Lucas Gonu scored his team-leading 12th of the season to end the period. Jake Butler picked up the assist. Leading by a score of 5-2 after one, Cumberland scored three more in the second, while Shane Snow was the only one able to answer for Kemptville.

The goal was Snow’s first of the year with the assist going to Joey House.

The 73’s scored the only

Setting up the marker were Zach Lindsay and Nico Legault. The Grads outshot the 73’s by a three period total

of 62-22.

It was also a penalty-filled affair with a combined 155 minutes being issued to both teams.

The 73’s upcoming action

features two away games this week. On Friday, November 9, the team travels to Brockville to take on the Braves while on Saturday, November 10, they will be in Ottawa to

face the Junior Senators.

The next home game will not be until Friday, November 16, when the Grads will be in Kemptville. See you at the rink!

Mother and daughter support KDH Seed Growers Association approve $50,000 for Kemptville Campus EMC News – Mother (Bev Sabourin) and daughter (Sue MacLaurin) have teamed up to help their communities, except this time instead of knitting baby hats, they are contributing with a little bit of bling.

Bev, an eight-year Kemptville resident of Dr. Gordon Crescent, and neighbor to the Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) decided to support her daughter’s Silpada jewelry business venture and at the same time contribute to her local hospital.

Bev and Sue were previously highlighted in the paper when they started knitting baby-hats for the maternity unit at the Brockville General Hospital (as Kemptville does not have a maternity ward), with the smaller hats or any extra inventory going to the ‘preemie’ ward in Kingston.

On Sept. 25, Sue brought all her beautiful handcrafted pieces of jewelry to Dr. Gordon Crescent. With the support of a dozen of Bev’s neighbours, several family members and friends, her jewelry home party resulted in a $500 hospital donation which also included a donation from a neighbour who could not attend the party.

With a little bit of creativity, a lot of desire and passion the joy of giving keeps on going. Sue also would like it known that she has an

Naud told the meeting the campus has to modernize in order to build and maintain enrolment. He talked about new programming involving food processing, alternative energy, and opportunities provided by climate change.

Both OVSGA president Bruce Hudson and director John Roosendaal expressed concern that the campus could wander too far from teaching the nuts and bolts of primary agriculture.

Naud insisted that won’t be the case.

In other business, directors approved a donation of $5,000 – the highest level – in support of an Alfred College Foundation fundraising event Oct. 25 with the objective of establishing student bursaries. They also decided to buy a table for $375 at the annual Kemptville College Foundation Harvest Fest Oct. 27 that also raises funds for bursaries as well as other initiatives.

As they do every year at this time, directors confirmed committees responsible for various aspects of the Ottawa Valley Farm

EMC News – At their recent regular meeting, directors of the Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association (OVSGA) voted to donate $50,000 to help with ongoing infrastructure improvements at the Kemptville Campus of the University of Guelph.

The decision came about two years after the OVSGA invested $100,000 in Kemptville’s new dairy research centre. The association sees the agricultural college as an important influence in sustaining and enhancing farming in eastern Ontario.

Members unanimously backed a motion from director John Joynt to award the money after campus director Dr. Claude Naud described his ongoing efforts to spruce up the campus. Naud’s goal is to create a more professional look with such projects as an $800,000 upgrade of the cafeteria and revamping the main public meeting rooms in the W.B. George Centre.

One of the rooms is being transformed into the Eastern Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame displaying certificates of regional residents honoured in the

Show (OVFS) to be held next March 12 to 14 at the CE Centre across from the Ottawa International Airport.

This will mark the second edition of the OVFS at the new centre boasting 150,000 square feet of exhibit space under one roof.

General manager Tom Van Dusen is predicting a tight fit with almost all existing exhibitors indicating they plan to return. Several are requesting increased space and new applications to be part of the show are arriving almost daily.

“Some might say it’s a great position to be in when demand for your product outstrips availability,” Van Dusen said.

“But we hate to disappoint our customers and that’s going to happen in some cases because there’s no way we can fill all the requests.”

While the CE Centre is considering expansion, it’s not expected to happen any time soon. Van Dusen estimated the OVFS could fill another 20 to 40,000 square feet based on current demand.

Spencerville library receives grant

Doug Hendry to speak at Nov. 12 SNG event EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In what to his doctor (and many others) seemed like a crazy idea, Doug Hendry traded in his sedentary lifestyle for a summer two-wheeling through France. Together with his partner Katrina Merkies, they covered more than 3,200 kilometres and climbed the equivalent height of two Mount Everests.

They were able to cover quite varied terrain from leisurely canal tow-paths and Mediterranean boardwalks via winding mountain roads to steep vineyard maintenance ways (along with a few muddy paths and at least one field). They even were able to include a week helping to build a castle using only medieval techniques.

Along the way, in between gasping for breath, they were able to take note of some differences between our own and the French lifestyle.

Please come to The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill Monday, Nov. 12 to hear Doug regale us with some tales from his carbon-neutral travels and some reflections on a few things we can perhaps learn about sustainability from the Old World, to help make the New World a better place.

Those interested are asked to arrive by 6:45 p.m. for the 7 p.m. talk.

Sustainable North Grenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events are open to everyone; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free unless otherwise indicated.

Coffee, tea and sweets are available by donation, plus a cash bar. Rumour has it that there will be actual croissants there. Berets optional!

We look forward to seeing you there.

Krista Reitch represented the Spencerville and District Optimist Club which donated monies to purchase the ECRR training program developed by the American Library Association and used in many Canadian libraries.

This pre-reading program covers the five skills that enable young children to be ready to read. Workshops will be offered to parents and caregivers and story times offered for infants to six-year-olds.

Additional funds were received from Martin Connell and the Earl B. Connell Foundation to provide story times. Kathy Colwell, chief librarian and CEO and Marsha Moulton, a retired kindergarten teacher, will be facilitating bi-monthly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom and Infantâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Preschoolers and Parentsâ&#x20AC;? sessions which will coach parents in skills they need

to use the ECRR program at home as well as a story time which will include singing, reading, writing and playing with pre-schoolers.

The program will start in November. It will also provide an opportunity for all kindergarten students from Centennial â&#x20AC;&#x2122;67 Public School, located next door to the library, to acquire five essential pre-reading skills.

Oct. 15 to 19 was Ontario Library Week. Children who already are familiar with reading and the world of books do better when they enter school and have greater success throughout their school years. The ECRR program gives young children a head start. For information about this program, visit the library or call Kathy at 613-658-5575.

Annual North Grenville Book Fair raises more than $10,000 EMC News – This year’s ninth annual North Grenville Book Fair was the most successful ever thanks to the 1,000-plus residents who attended.

This does not include approximately 85 volunteers who assisted over a fourday period, Oct. 10 to 13.

Twenty-five of these helpers were students from St. Michael Catholic High School and North Grenville District High School.

The organizers, representatives from Community Living North Grenville and the Friends of the North Grenville Public Library, announced that more than $10,000 was raised.

“How fortunate we are that the Ferguson Forest Centre has partnered with us,” stated Bill Patterson, one of the organizers.

NAMING From page K1

it’s not all about the money all the time. Both (tobacco and alcohol) have caused a lot of heartache and disease in the world and I wouldn’t want to see their name blasting out there. We’re North Grenville and we’re supposed to be ‘green and growing.’”

Guy indicated that it wouldn’t likely be that these types of companies would be seeking naming rights of North Grenville buildings because they don’t offer alcohol permanently.

However, Sutton said he doesn’t think the municipality should “close the door.”

“Whether we do or don’t today, things change tomorrow or next year and we may receive a major sponsorship deal,” he said.

“It could be something we could take advantage of.”

EMC News – Hundreds of book lovers flocked to the Ferguson Forest Centre Oct. 11 and 12 for the annual North Grenville Book Fair. There were more than

In the end, the majority of council voted to omit tobacco companies from the policy but to leave the door open for alcoholic beverage companies.

Tobin was pleased to see the inclusion of text regarding the notification of an individual’s family before council proceeds with the naming of an asset. The policy notes that when an individual is recommended after a closed session discussion, consent must be obtained from the individual or their next of kin prior to council considering the request.

“It’s important the family is contacted first before it becomes public and before council’s consideration,” she remarked. “It’s nice to see that in here (policy).”

Existing names of historical significance will also not be changed without proper consideration.

20,000 books to choose from in a variety of genres, including mystery/suspense, romance, biography, fiction, reference, children’s, as well as non-fiction.

“If not for Ed Patchell’s cooperation, there would not be a book fair, especially since space, most particularly free space, is nonexistent.”

Another vital ingredient is the banana boxes donated by the various grocery stores; and the Municipality of North Grenville provided 63 tables to complement the 13 from the FFC, for book stacking and display.

Permission has been granted to store the leftover books in the former Oxford Mills Town Hall and a truckload of books was shipped to Nigeria again this year.

The organizing committee will meet next week to plan the 10th annual book fair.

Watch for the surprises!
