EMC News - The Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation Black Tie Bingo was a sellout and huge success this year at Code’s Mill in Perth on Saturday, April 13. This event has raised more than $80,000 for the GWM site of the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital over the past two years. Pictured are some of the scenes from the event.

It turns out the man behind the clever disguise was insurance mogul Richard Schooley, who insured that he remained masked and anonymous at the gathering.

Some surgeries to now be performed at Smiths Falls hospital site

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – If you need emergency surgery after 6 p.m. or on weekends, you will now be sent to Smiths Falls.

Up until now, both sites had had two anesthetists on call for emergency procedures at both sites. Now, “if we have an emergency appendectomy (for example)…that will be done in Smiths Falls,” said Linda Bisonette, chief executive officer of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, speaking at the Perth town council committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, April 9.

Further to this, Bisonette informed

council that emergency room nursing care has been reduced by four hours, but only during the daytime.

“It is safer and more efficient to consolidate that (ER care) in one site,” said Bisonette of the move to one site for after hours and weekend operating room care.

Bisonette noted that the future of health care is changing and that the hospital, literally, cannot afford the status quo for much longer.

In 2013, health care accounted for 40 per cent of the provincial budget. By 2030, only 17 years away, it is estimated that, at this rate, health care will consume

80 per cent of the provincial budget. “(It) is a pretty scary number… is not a good indicator for our children or grandchildren,” said Lynda Hendriks, chair of the hospital board. “We have to deal with the hand we are dealt.”

The hospital has been able to balance its books for this year, after finding itself in the red last year.

Revenues for the year ending March 31, 2012 were $48.1 million, while expenditures were $50.2 million, with a deficit of about $2 million.

“That’s not a good number and it does not work well,” said Bisonette.

“That was definitely a downhill slide

and not a good place to be,” said Hendriks.

“You can call it a downward spiral, you can call it a death spiral, you can call it just bad news.”

Further to this, the hospital had an accumulated debt of $7 million, which kicked off a peer review process in June of 2012. All hospital departments were asked to cut six per cent of their budgets.

“It has been a difficult year for us,” admitted Bisonette. “(But) all of those changes we have made have been vetted through our medical staff,” as well as the Local Health Integration Network.

Hike for Hospice returns May 5 for 11th year a silent auction with many lovely items donated from local businesses up for bidding.

One hundred per cent of all funds raised in the local community will stay in the community, benefiting the Community Home Support Volunteer Hospice Visiting Service Lanark County and Dignity House Hospice equally.

Supporters can sponsor a friend, family member or co-worker, collect pledges and participate as an individual or join or create a corporate or family/friend team and collect pledges. This can be done online at chpca.net/hfhpc or call 613-267-6400 for information on where to pick up a pledge form.

The main goals of the hike are to raise funds for hospice palliative care at the community level, increase awareness of the many issues related to hospice palliative care and recognize the phenomenal work done by volunteers and professionals in the field.

Last year’s nearly 100 hike

sites, with participants from organizations from across Canada, raised more than $1.6-million for local hospice palliative care. “Palliative care is very near and dear to our hearts at Bayshore,� says Lori Lachance, Area Director for Bayshore Home Health’s Smiths Falls office. “Our nurses and caregivers have witnessed the benefits of this kind of care firsthand so they’re incredibly committed to Hike for Hospice. Many even bring their family and friends along to help with fund-raising.�

Hospice palliative care programs allow patients to gain more control over their lives, manage pain and symptoms more effectively, and provide support to family and informal caregivers.

Despite the many benefits, Canada is unable to provide valuable hospice palliative care services to more than 70 per cent of those dying within the country.

The size and scope of hospice palliative care severely restricts

access to these programs which are funded disproportionately by private donors. The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association is working toward ensuring that more Canadians receive the end-of-life care they require.

Bayshore has been a national sponsor Hike for Hospice since 2006. Last year Bayshore raised more than $152,000 through participation in the Hike and related activities across the country.

While most Bayshore branches participate in the Hike by teaming up with a local hospice, others conduct various fundraising efforts throughout the year, such as golf tournaments, guest speaker conferences, book and bake sales, dances and fashion shows.

Last year, Bayshore broke the million-dollar mark in its ongoing contribution to the cause having raised a total of $1,069,230.22 over the past seven years.

said. “I thought I probably wouldn’t have to write any tests, that I’d be able to register without them because of my experience.�

Dowdall was already practicing as an acupuncturist, so as part of the grandparented registration process, she had to pass two exams—a safety test and a jurisprudence test—before submitting her application by March 19.

For those who learned acupuncture from their elders, a common practice in Asia as opposed to formal education, they can still become registered if they can provide the college with information showing that they’ve had at least 2000 patient visits in the last five years.

According to the college’s website, grandfathered registration “is intended for individuals who can provide evidence of having met the basic non-exemptible requirements and are currently practicing the profession in Ontario.�

However, obtaining a grandfathered registration with the college didn’t excuse Dowdall from numerous expenses; it was still a pricey endeavor.

She had to buy the study material along with exam fees and travel accommodations, as the safety test took place in Toronto. She was also required to pass a criminal background check, and provide photocopies of her diplomas (she has a second one from when she studied to become a medical laboratory technician in the late ‘80s).As well, she had to pay a fee in order to fill out the 17-page long application, have at least two sections co-signed by her lawyer and finally pay

EMC News – A doctor’s office curiously missing a degree on the wall may raise an eyebrow for many. After all, it’s what tells the patients that their physician is qualified to practice. But up until now, Ontario practitioners of Chinese medicine and acupuncture were allowed to practice without registering with a formal body.

That has now changed.

Starting April 1, every practitioner of Chinese medicine must be registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario. The governing body was established after the passing of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Act in 2006.

For Lynn Dowdall, it was a daunting process but necessary to allow her to continue her practice at the Perth Acupuncture Clinic.

Dowdall first heard about the impending legislative changes when attending an information session last June. “I was really nervous about it. I didn’t know what would be asked of me, so I started preparing for a different career,�

Dowdall said, half-jokingly.

Dowdall’s acupuncture education, obtained in a foreign country, had her wondering if it’d correspond with what the newfound college was requiring.

After running her own practice at the Perth Acupuncture Clinic since 1997, Dowdall has ample experience with traditional Chinese medicine.

It was a venture she began after visiting a chronic pain support group, due to injuries resulting from a car accident

in the late ‘80s. The speaker at these groups talked about the benefits of acupressure.

It jogged something in Dowdall’s memory. “In the ‘70s, I remember watching a show about acupuncture as an anesthetic and I was just fascinated by it. I couldn’t sit down,� Dowdall recalled.

Dowdall mentioned her burgeoning interest in acupuncture to her friend, a shiatsu therapist. She had the same curiosity about the medicinal approach.

In 1996, the two women enrolled at the International College of Acupuncture in Sri Lanka, under renowned acupuncturist Dr. Anton Jayasuriya.

It was a course which Dowdall recalled as “grueling� but fascinating.

Classes would start at 8 a.m. and run for 11 to 12 hours, with no lunch or dinner breaks. “We were exhausted. Often times, we’d have crackers and water when we got home and just crash,� Dowdall said.

The hands-on training was undoubtedly intense, with a class of 41 students seeing roughly 300 patients a day (“I’ve heard that it may even have been up to 500 people,� Dowdall said).

After obtaining her diploma, Dowdall opened her own acupuncture clinic in her Perth home.

The arduous training Dowdall went through to become an acupuncturist had her wondering if she’d be exempt from the impending registration process, when hearing about it at an information session. “I figured my 17 years would surely show that I know what I’m doing,� she

REGIONAL NEWS

EMC News – Anyone who experiences the Rideau Canal and the communities along its length, residents or visitors, whether cycling or skating along the canal, running a shop in one of its many towns and villages, working a century farm, or fishing along its shores near a cottage, will agree that the Rideau Canal corridor is a place with a unique identity and a remarkable spirit.

The Rideau Canal has been honoured with many distinctions; a National Historic Site, a Canadian Heritage River and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, proclaiming its universal value to humanity.

In 2008, the National Geographic Society declared he Rideau the second most authentic, sustainable destination in the world.

In 2007 the World Heritage Committee recommended that the Rideau Canal’s visual protection be strengthened outside of the established buffer zone to ensure the visual values of the setting are protected alongside environmental values.

As part of its commitment, Parks Canada established the Rideau Corridor

an annual fee to the college to remain certified.

It was a daunting process which, after hearing that she had been officially registered as an acupuncturist with the college, allowed Dowdall to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“It’s definitely rewarding to be able to say I’m a registered acupuncturist now,” she said.

After April 1, anyone found guilty of practicing acupuncture or traditional Chinese medicine without registration as a member of the college could be fined up to $25,000 for the first offense, and $50,000 for any subsequent offences, with a possible yearlong prison sentence.

With the college putting a heavy emphasis on schooling over experience, Dowdall is relieved. A few years ago, after seeing a flyer on a local drugstore’s entrance advertising a weekend-long acupuncture course for $500, Dowdall was shocked.

“I was horrified,” Dowdall said. “It just seemed so wrong and backwards. It bothered me

Landscape Strategy.

A steering committee consisting of representatives from First Nations, federal and provincial agencies, municipalities, NGOs (nongovernmental organizations), property owners and others was formed.

A Landscape Character Assessment was undertaken to identify key features and values of the Rideau corridor in order to support more effective planning and management of the Rideau corridor’s landscape into the future.

Throughout 2012, a Landscape Character Assessment was launched to identify key features and values along the Rideau corridor in order to support more effective planning and management of the Rideau corridor’s landscape into the future.

Research work was done, two rounds of public consultations were held in March and August at various locations.

For those who could not attend the workshops, the presentation, maps, handouts and comment sheet were all available on the project website www.rcls-sacr.ca for comments, as well as through

social media, and opportunities to contribute to an online photographic library of the Rideau corridor’s landscapes.

This knowledge gathered were further refined with onsite field trips.

The draft Landscape Character Assessment and Planning and Management Recommendations Report was completed late fall.

The final report was presented and accepted in January, with translation and public release to follow. What are the findings of the visual preference survey, the landscape assessment, and recommendations?

The Rideau Roundtable is pleased to provide the public with a chance to find out.

A special presentation on this topic will take place at 7 p.m. Earth Day Monday, April 22 in the auditorium of the Rideau Canal headquarters and the public is invited to attend.

This free event is part of the annual general meeting of the Rideau Roundtable, with doors opening at 6:45 p.m.

Susan Millar, of Parks Canada and Secretariat of the project, will be the presenter.

that someone would be able to openly practice acupuncture after just a weekend of classes.”

After filling in the drugstore manager about the seriousness of traditional Chinese medicine, and knowing a governing body for the practice was on the horizon, she asked them to take down the flyer.

They gladly obliged.

Now that Dowdall can refer to herself as a registered acupuncturist (R.Ac), she believes the formation of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario was a necessary, and rewarding, achievement.

“It prevents just any average Joe from sticking needles into someone, claiming it to be Chinese medicine,” she said.

She added that it will be an extra benefit for insurance companies, as they’ll only cover registered practitioners now, making it easier for them to weed out practitioners falling short of certification.

The legislative council isn’t short of controversy though. It has come under attack for failing to provide the exams in lan-

guages other than English, an important dilemma since many acupuncturists do not speak English as a first language.

Moreover, because it’s now a regulated medical practice, acupuncture clinics and their practitioners are not allowed to advertise its benefits on their website or hand-outs.

“I still don’t fully understand what I’m allowed to say and what I’m not,” Dowdall admitted. “I’m in the process of revamping my website because of it,” she added.

Although Dowdall is weary of what she says about the treatment, there is one thing she’s certain of.

“I’m not retiring anytime soon,” the 66-year-old laughed.

“Maybe I’ll slow down but retirement, I’m not close to it, no,” she said.

With her practice based in Perth, and being the only registered acupuncturist in the area that she’s aware of, Dowdall feels the provincial legislation has given her a sense of duty.

“It’s a good thing because we’re protecting the public,” she said.

Environmental, conservation groups united in mistrust over federal changes to waters’ act

By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Are you legally allowed to canoe or boat on Ottawa-area rivers – including the Madawaska, Mississippi, Carp, and Jock – this summer?

“Good question. No one really knows,” John Bennett said. “We’ll have to wait and see.”

The Sierra Club of Canada executive director joins a growing list of environmentalists, conservationists like Angelo Lombardo of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, and others who fear their right to use the vast majority of Canada’s waterways is now curtailed or worse. That’s because recent changes by the Conservative government scales back federal control in favour of private.

“For anglers and hunters who use waterways that flow through private lands, the changes will be especially troubling because landowners now have more latitude to obstruct public access to our lakes and rivers,” Lombardo wrote in the April 2013 issue of Ontario Out of Doors magazine.

Red flags first started to fly when federal officials sat the provinces

and other stakeholders down to say changes are coming to the 130-yearold Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA). It dictated where bridges and other obstructions to waterway navigation are allowed.

The changes, including the name to the Navigation Protection Act (NPA), emerged with the government’s massive omnibus budget Bill C-45. It reveals that 97 lakes and 62 rivers – including the Ottawa and Rideau rivers, and the canal – are protected. That is down from over two million lakes and 8,500 rivers.

The changes are often cited as the spark that lit the Idle No More campaign.

When Sierra Club lawyers saw the new act and how it applies to Canadians, they all but threw their hands up.

“We don’t know what it means,” Bennett said.

Travel rivers: feds According to Transportation Canada media relations advisor Kelly James, the (NPA) will continue to regulate where bridges, docks and other structures can be built on Canada’s busiest waterways. But when it comes to local rivers, it’s business as usual.

“Regarding whether people will be prevented from being able to canoe or fish on these waterways: no, not at all,” James wrote in an email. “The Carp, Mississippi and Madawaska rivers are unscheduled waterways.

The common law will continue to protect navigation on unscheduled waterways. The common law protects the right of navigation by treating things placed in water that interfere with navigation as obstructions that can be removed or abated if they cause damage or become a public nuisance.”

She added that the right has been protected in the courts for centuries.

However, having to appeal to the courts is the reason many groups fear canoers, hunters and others are at risk of losing the right to use non-protected rivers. It takes deep pockets, according to Lombardo, who says the changes mean a “marginalization” of anglers and hunters.

“Relying on common law puts an undue onus on the angler and hunter to identify and challenge infringements on their rights to navigation, not to mention that very few of us can afford the time or money that is needed for this process,” Lombardo wrote.

“The focus on commercial interests

and lack of consideration for how important navigation is to recreational fishing and hunting works to devalue the enormous socioeconomic value of the recreational fishing and hunting industry in Canada.”

Pipeline industry Many stakeholders have wondered where the push to allow for obstructions to smaller waterways came from. It wasn’t from Canada’s $8.5 billion recreational fishing industry.

But it appears it did come from an industry.

Greenpeace Canada obtained a copy of a presentation to Ministry of Trade officials by the Canadian En-

ergy Pipeline Association containing a list of changes it wanted made to bolster business. The Conservatives have since removed teeth from many of Canada’s environmental laws.

It is possible that provincial governments could take over and enact stringent regulations and enforcement measures. Bennett doesn’t think that is likely. Many provinces are cashstrapped as it is, he said. Since the NWPA came into being, in 1882, the national government has had a hand in controlling the use of resources in the world’s second largest country.

“There is real value to having the federal government involved,” Bennett said.

Canal bridges closed for maintenance EMC News – The Director of Ontario Waterways offers notification of public of bridge closures scheduled for the month of April as part of regular spring maintenance. Motorists are advised to plan their routes accordingly in order to avoid delays.

April 23 and April 24, Old Slys Bridge in Smiths Falls will be closed to vehicular traffic and until Friday,

April 26, expect delays of about 10 minute intervals at: Beckwith Street Bridge in Perth; Kilmarnock Bridge, Merrickville Bridge, Nicholsons Bridge in Merrickville-Wolford; and Burritts Rapids Bridge.

EMC News - Managing your strengths, understanding your conflicts and overseeing your relationships will be the topic of a very lively presentation and discussion by Dr. Susan Ziebarth BSc, MHA, DM. Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce and Smile Sensations Independent Dental Hygiene Clinic are pleased to be sponsoring this two-hour workshop on Wednesday, May 1 at the Smiths Falls Curling & Squash Club from 7 to 9 p.m.

Ziebarth will explain how individual values affect our overall decision making activities. Participants will learn their own core values and six types of contributions. The day will also explore the core values of others and learn how all types of people operate and interact.

This is something new for Smiths Falls residents and business owners, it will be an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;interactiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; discussion where a personal online â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;core values indexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assessment will be confidentially completed by everyone prior to the event to help identify their personal strengths in relating to others under two conditions; when everything is going well and when they are faced with conflict.

Knowing your core values means we can move strategically to take a position for effective action. Knowledge your personal strengths can be used to improve relationships with others. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Core Values Indexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assessment is a self-discovery tool that is not about judgement or â&#x20AC;&#x153;rightâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrongâ&#x20AC;?. It is a resource that helps you to take stock of your motivational values which is the basis of how you feel and act in different situations.

The evening will provide ideas that will help people to understand how to build productive relationships and manage conflict by providing a window into the motivation that drives behaviour. The awareness of â&#x20AC;&#x153;selfâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;othersâ&#x20AC;? helps you to improve all types of relationships whether in your personal, work, home, school or social life.

Prior to the meeting each participant will have the opportunity to complete the â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Core Values Indexâ&#x201E;˘â&#x20AC;?

(CVIâ&#x201E;˘). As a registrant for the presentation, you will receive an email invitation with the web-link to take the CVIâ&#x201E;˘ on a complimentary basis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the assessment would normally cost $50.

This unique instrument takes ten minutes or less to complete, and provides a highly accurate and reliable picture of the core motivational drivers of any person, with an instant report, online.

For business owners this seminar will allow you to find out how to draw on your inner foundation to have your business thrive and grow. Most times, it is not a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill, experience or attitude that prevents them from being a Top Performer in a given job; it is their ability to perform certain tasks and functions the way the position requires. If a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivational drivers and sense of contribution does not align with the work they are being asked to do, they will have difficulty rising to the top.

Ziebarth will demonstrate how each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural and unchanging core values are the source of business effectiveness. This innate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wiringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; also creates the extraordinary opportunity to increase each participantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Return on Investmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in human capital.

This knowledge will help you ensure your role is structured so that you are making your highest and best contribution to your companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission and bottom line. Take advantage of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;2 for 1 offerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and sign up your entire staff to have their CVIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done, imagine how nice it would be if everyone at your business understood each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core values, and how much easier it would be for everyone to relate with one another in a positive manner. Through the understanding of how one relates to other individuals, you can work more effectively with employees, customers, suppliers, and those you might report to.

All participants will be shown how to look at their own instinctive core values and identify the kinds of decisions and implementation challenges that are innately difficult for them and how knowledge of core values can help in our personal relationships, as business owners or employees.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss this extremely interesting seminar on human behavior, it gives insight on why we interact well with some people and struggle with others. Early bird registration closes April 24. Reserve your tickets by calling the Chamber of Commerce office at 613-283-1334.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Chivalry alive and well in Lanark County DEAR EDITOR: Wednesday, April 10, just after noon, I stopped at the Country Street apartments in Almonte to pick up my aunt. We were going over to Smiths Falls to visit her brother, who hadn’t been able to come for her 90th birthday lunch. She had made a lemon meringue pie to take to him, so once I had her and the pie safely settled, we headed off down the road.

When we got to the lights at the edge of Carleton Place, I heard a horn beep, but there were a number of vehicles waiting and I didn’t think anything of it. Then after we’d gone through another set of lights on McNeely Avenue, I glanced into the rear view mirror and suddenly realized why someone was trying to get my attention. I pulled over onto

a wide shoulder and jumped out to run back to my knight in shining armour. He was out of his van holding out a black purse, asking if I recognized it, when I just about bowled him over with my hug. When I calmed down, I explained about my aunt and that I had suddenly remembered setting my purse on top of the car while I was getting the pie settled safely in the back.

So, thank you again to my Good Samaritan, both for getting my purse back to me and for restoring my faith in the basic goodness of neighbours.

COMMENTARY Don’t text and drive

EMC Editorial – Many are guilty of it although they won’t confess it; texting while driving is something we’ve done but are ashamed.

And rightly so.

In a day and age when people are attached to their phones 24/7, constantly updating their Facebook or Twitter statuses, why should we be surprised that drivers have taken to doing this while operating a motor vehicle? We’ve all heard the horror stories of people eating and drinking behind the wheel, or applying that last coat of mascara in rush hour, but it’s sad that we can’t put our phones down.

This week, the Ontario Provincial Police launched a Distracted Driving Campaign (April 15 to 22) aimed at encouraging drivers to make a lifetime commitment of putting down the phone and leaving it alone.

We might not think that checking that one nagging text message will hurt anyone, but think again. According to Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division, 83 people in Ontario were killed in accidents due to the use of hand-held devices while driving.

Due to this, the OPP are committed to being more vigilant when met with these distracted drivers. In 2012, they handed out close to 16,000 distracted driving charges in the province, yet still see drivers making the same mistakes day in and day out.

In addition to putting down those phones, there’s another way we can all encourage drivers to deter from texting and driving. The OPP are asking Ontarians to share their dangerous driving stories on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ontarioprovincialpolice), to help others learn from their mistakes.

Your eyes only need to be off the road before your life (and that of others) can be changed forever. It’s time we all made better decisions. Those text messages can wait.

Mary grew her own garden through catalogue EMC Lifestyle - The Steele-Briggs seed catalogue was now mine. Mother’s order had long since arrived. It came when the snow was deep around the house, and the sprigs of vegetables poking through the ground in the garden were still a long way off.

All over the house, for weeks, Mother had been urging little flat wood boxes of earth to show signs of life. These boxes emerged every year, filled with earth by Father, and until it was time to plant the sprouts out in the garden, they sat on benches and chairs, watched and watered by Mother.

The window sills were too narrow to hold the boxes, and so finding a place to sit in the kitchen was often a challenge this time of year.

When Mother first planted the seeds that would have arrived in the mail C.O.D., I was wild with excitement. I checked every day to see if anything had sprung up, but after days and days of constant vigilance, I lost interest, and instead concentrated on the seed catalogues, for which I had great plans.

Using one of the rough-lined scribblers Mother had bought from Ritz’s Drug Store in Renfrew on the One-Cent-

Sale, I re-created my very own seed catalogue. When I was finished, it didn’t at all look like the Steele-Briggs one that came in wintertime.

The first thing I did was cut out all the pictures in the catalogue that were in colour. This job alone could wile away many hours at the kitchen table in the evening. Then I sorted the pictures in two piles...one for vegetables and one for flowers.

When that job was finished, I next arranged the flowers into little piles, with my very favourites on top, and my least favourite ones on the bottom. I was especially fond of the pictures of the roses.

The red ones. And there were pink and yellow ones too, but the blood-red ones, I thought were very special. Mother never ordered roses, which was a big disappointment to me, but she said the ground out at Northcote wasn’t good enough for rose bushes. My sister Audrey said it had more to do with the hard work involved in looking after rose bushes than it had to do with the soil. Even when I told Audrey I would be glad to look after them, she said we would never see rose bushes on the farm at Northcote and to put the idea out of my mind!

had to content myself with pictures cut out of the Steele-Briggs seed catalogue.

I was at the stage in my life when I loved to draw. And so I drew little gardens on each page of the big scribbler with the rough pages and the shiny black cover. I coloured the pages with my crayons, and I thought I had done a good enough job to even take the finished book to show Miss Crosby at the Northcote School. Again, my sister Audrey advised me to keep it at home, since it may cause bad Marguirite to go into a fit of jealousy, and goodness knows what that could mean!

There was no money for anything fancy like a little bottle of mucilage.

perfectly well.

And so I would begin to create my very own catalogue. The roses went onto a page first. The red ones. Another page of drawings, and then the pink roses, and finally, the yellow ones.

By the time I had worked through all the little piles of cut-out flowers and pasted them into the scribbler, each separated by a crayon-coloured drawing, the scribbler was so fat, it was impossible to keep it closed.

But if nothing else, those scribblers were a bargain. There were still plenty of empty pages left for the pictures of my favourite vegetables. I was never that fond of turnips or cabbages, but blood-red tomatoes and green cucumbers, yellow beans, and radishes, all had their own pages in my ‘seed catalogue’.

My brother Emerson, who was a far better artist that I was, and never let me forget it, laughed at my attempt at drawing gardens in my scribbler. But Mother said my pictures reminded her of the big calendar we got from Scott’s Hardware that year which was a country scene taken by a real camera. And that was good enough for me!

earth scattered all over the house started to sprout, and finally grow a few inches, my interest was renewed. I again looked every day to see their growth, even though my sister Audrey reminded me “a watched pot never boils,” which I finallly realized had nothing to do with a pot on the stove.

I kept my hand-made seed catalogue under my bed for the weeks it took for the wood boxes to produce enough growth to move the plants to the garden and the flower beds. Every so often I would take it out, swelled as it was to three times its size, and leaf through it, anxious for the day I could take it out to the garden. Because when you could finally tell which plants would be carrots, and which would be cucumbers, and which flower bed would produce asters or cosmos, I would spend many a happy hour outside with my catalogue, matching my cut-out pictures to what was taking new life in the ground back in those Depression years when we were expected to amuse ourselves without benefit.

It was a simple way of spending many happy hours free of costly toys and the price was just right.

Mick Armitage celebrating 30th anniversary in music

Hall of Famer “These are first-rate people. The Reverend (Bragg) is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.

“I’m proud to play with all of them.”

He also credits their two-member “road crew” for handling the equipment and set-ups.

“They are twin brothers. Eric and Jensen Semph and they’re just 22.

Sometimes if they take their hats off we can’t tell which is which.

“We’re all old guys (band) now.

We’re over 50. We leave it to the

southwest of Ottawa.

On Thursday, Aug. 22 the Mick Armitage Band makes yet another appearance as part of the City of Ottawa’s summer ‘Concerts in the Park Series.’ The classic rock concert will be staged at Village Square Park in Stittsville where the band has performed several times in the past. The park is located at the intersection of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott St. The Stittsville show, which begins with a barbecue at 6 p.m., runs until 8:30 p.m.

On Sunday Sept. 1 the band returns to the Shawville Fair for a 15th consecutive year. They will perform from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

The band leader says he looks forward to many more years of musical success. “We already have four shows booked for 2014,” he says proudly.

Asked for the secret to their success Armitage responds, “As Hans Christian Andersen (Danish author and poet) once said ‘Where words fail, music speaks.’”

For complete information on the Mick Armitage Band and their schedule for this year and early 2014 Submitted photo visit the website: www.mickarmitBand leader Mick Armitage, right, marks 30 years in the music business this year.

Mick Armitage Band. young lads to lug the gear around.”

Armitage, a native of Shawville, Quebec started playing music in his youth and soon his focus became the drums.

“I grew up during the Rock and Roll era in the 1960s. That was my influence,” he recalls.

His late mother Mary (Spearman) was a native of Stittsville. His father, Dr. Roly Armitage, is a highly respected veterinarian and horse breeder who is known across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec.

Armitage Sr. is now 88 and living in Dunrobin in the West Carleton section of rural, west Ottawa.

“Dad is a going concern. Next month (May) he will be among the Canadian veterans at the armistice ceremonies in Holland.”

A young Roly Armitage served with the Canadian Army during the liberation of western Europe in 1944 and early 1945, including the offensive which freed The Netherlands from nearly five years of Nazi occupation.

“He was in the artillery. I am very proud of my Dad. And he is looking forward to going back to Holland.

They love Canadians there.”

Armitage Jr. is a full-time civilian employee of the Department of National Defence who resides in Ottawa.

The Mick Armitage Band has another very busy year ahead.

As mentioned, on Saturday, April 27 at 1 p.m. the band hits the stage at the 37th annual Festival of the Maples in Perth. The main stage for the event will be located at Gore and Herriott Streets in downtown Perth.

On Sunday, July 14 they will make a return engagement as part of the entertainment at the annual Merrickville Car Show.

“It’s an incredible event,” Armitage notes. “Last year they had over 1,200 entries.”

The car show is located at the Blockhouse beside the Rideau Canal in historic Merrickville,

EMC Entertainment – Mick Armitage loves spending his nights and weekends playing music and entertaining people. With more than 1,000 shows already under his belt the affable drummer and vocalist has no intention of quitting the music business.

“I tell the guys (band members) that we will keep playing until they (public) stop calling,” Armitage chuckles.

“When I hear the cheering and shouting and watch the people dancing it is all worth it.”

The Mick Armitage Band, who will perform during the annual Perth Festival of the Maples on Saturday, April 27, was launched in 1997.

Armitage’s band days date back to 1983 when he helped form the Arnprior-based group ‘Racoons on Ice’.

They played together for 14 years, performing across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec.

However, it is with the group that bears his name that Armitage has found his greatest success.

The Mick Armitage Band has performed nationally and internationally. “We’ve played on both coasts, we’ve performed in Mexico six times and in 2006 we did a tour of Ireland,” he outlines.

The band has been off the bar and night club circuit for years.

“We book mainly with private clients and organizations. We play at fundraisers, like the one at Irish Hills Golf Club this Saturday and we do shows of every kind including fairs, festivals and private parties,” Armitage explains. “Our business is almost all referrals – word of mouth.

“I’ve definitely been around a long time. I know that because I am now playing at the weddings of the kids of the same people I played for (wedding parties) over 20 years ago.”

He jokes that the band is “mainly a warm weather act.”

“We don’t do many shows in the winter. Right now we are doing about 25 shows in nine months. That works out to about 2.8 a month,” he laughs.

He credits his four fellow band members with the group’s success.

“I’m the weak link musically.

They are the best players. We know over 500 songs, 90 per cent of which is classic rock. We’re a ‘Boomers’ band now.”

Besides Armitage on drums and vocals the other members of the band are vocalist/guitarist Al Tambay, vocalist/bass player Grant Tomkinson, saxophonist/singer Bruce Baker and Al Bragg on the keyboards. Bragg “The Reverend” also provides additional vocal support.

“All of these lads have been with me for more than 10 years, some for 13.”

Jacques Brel takes sting out of weather at Full Circle Theatre EMC Entertainment – ‘Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris’ opened last Friday (April 12) at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth despite winter’s last blast. The audience entered chilly but left warmed through. Audience comments from the first weekend of the run called it “a fabulous production,” “a first class, professional calibre show” and said that it took “the sting out of the weather.”

BarnDoor Production’s 88th show glitters, sparkles, excites and moves people in a two-hour whirligig of music and sound.

It’s a series of songs, some serious, some humourous, from the pen of Belgian composer Jacques Brel, as translated and adapted by Americans Mort Shuman and Eric Blau. It ran off-Broadway for over four years in its original version and has been constantly in production since then.

BarnDoor extends the original four-person cast to five for this production and combines that with a three-member onstage band (aided on occasion by members of the cast) who provide piano, organ, trumpet, guitars, percussion and more.

Every member of the cast impresses with solo numbers, as well as in duets, trios and group pieces. From rock numbers to four-part ragtime harmony, to ballads and novelty songs, the vocal quality is very high and draws enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Robert Del Grande powers his way through three solos, making a particular hit with Statue, the lament of a hero immortalized in bronze, who regrets it all. Earlier he surges through the blazingly passionate Mathilde and caps off his solos with the rocker Le Moribond, a Brel melody many may remember as Terry Jacks’ Seasons in the Sun from the 1970s.

Tracy Noonan draws tears with the simple and poignant The Old Folks, a ballad about age and time, where the accom-

paniment consists of only a few tick tocks from the percussion and bell chimes from the keyboards and the close harmony of the rest of the company. She also takes on the challenge of the rhythmically and lyrically complex Sons Of... and No, Love, You’re Not Alone, each of them among the most difficult songs in the show.

Kristy Angel’s wide-eyed rendition of I Loved is full of innocent excitement until its final ironic twist. She also provides the show’s first big shocker with Timid Frieda, a song about escape and freedom, then turns the tables with My Death, surprisingly a love song, that turns the stage into a rock concert.

Janice Reid has three of the most intimate songs in the production: The Desperate Ones is presented in total stillness and barely above a whisper, but draws the audience in immediately; Fannette may be the prettiest song in the show, a bitter lament a betrayed love; and Marieke is a soaring wail for lost loved ones, presented in three languages, English, Flemish and French.

Chris Angel’s powerful voice soars in Alone, amuses in The Bachelor’s Dance and blows the roof off the theatre in Amsterdam. It’s a good thing that the last is the final number in act one, as the audience need an intermission to recover from its powerful effect.

There are plenty of group moments to savour as well: the show’s opening number, Marathon, is a whirlwind tour through the twentieth century; the act two opener, Brussels, is a four-part harmony ragtime step back to the simpler times before World War One; The Bulls is a Spanish-inspired piece that goes from a humourous number to an anti-war protest in the blink of an eye.

And the two final numbers in the show are true showstoppers.

Carousel starts off as a tiny nostalgic waltz and evolves into a dizzying, kaleidoscopic, fivepart whirlwind. To cap it all off,

If We Only Have Love brings Brel’s themes together and finishes the show in style, with a harmony-filled rock anthem.

A mention must be made of the un-named “special guest” who comes in for one number only and delivers Brel’s biggest hit, Ne Me Quitte Pas, with passion. “That, alone, was worth the price of admission,” said one audience member.

All of this is backed up by a hard-working three piece band comprising Erin Morel on digital piano, Mike Rowe on guitars, trumpet and second keyboards and Terry Kirkpatrick on percussion. Additionally, Chris Angel provides guitar and Hammond organ parts and Robert Del Grande provides guitar. The band moves through the 27 numbers in the show with hardly a pause and presents the many styles of the numbers with authority.

It’s all played out amidst an eye-catching set that consists of primary-coloured draperies and shining mylar curtains, along with mirror balls, the occasional strobe light and a video backdrop that provides images and commentary throughout the night. Jacques Brel is a treat for the eyes, as well as the ears.

BarnDoor Productions’ ‘Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris’ is a unique, powerful, exciting and memorable show, unlike anything that’s been seen in Perth for a long time. It is pure music, pure theatre and pure entertainment – surely the musical theatre highlight of the year in Perth.

‘Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris’ has four more performances scheduled, April 18, 19, 20 at 8 p.m. and April 21 at 2 p.m. only.

Tickets for Jacques Brel and details on it and other events at Full Circle Theatre (including full details on BarnDoor Productions’ 2013-2014 season) are on BarnDoor’s website, www.barndoorproductions.ca or call 613-267-1884.

Lessons in debt control – consolidate to save A talented juggler can keep four, five, even six balls in the air at the same time and make it look easy. Many Canadians juggle six or more types of debt – often including highinterest credit cards – and must make multiple payments each month. Keeping all those ‘debt balls’ in the air isn’t easy and it can cost you. A more efficient way to manage your time and money could be debt consolidation – here’s why.

• You can effectively reduce the interest costs for car payments, education loans, lines of credit and other high-interest, high-cost loans (such as credit cards) by consolidating them within a single loan with a lower interest rate. You can then choose how to pay it off: ˚ Keep your ‘preconsolidation’ payment amount – by applying the same payment toward your debt but at a lower interest rate, you’ll be putting extra money toward the principal debt repayment and eliminating that debt much faster. ˚ Keep your amortization or debt payback payment the same – your new lowerinterest consolidated loan at a reduced payment amount frees up additional cash flow you can use to reach your

Manage Your Money other financial life goals.

Simple is usually better – and less expensive. Debt consolidation can be a ‘simple’ way to reduce the cost of your debt – and here are a few other ‘simple’ suggestions for managing debt to discuss with your professional advisor: • Consolidate through a home equity loan that offers a much lower interest rate than most other types of loans, especially credit cards that can apply interest rates of up to 28% on outstanding balances.

• Keep amortization to a reasonable timeframe – aim for repayment within five years.

• Don’t assume a line of credit is a good thing. While it will provide borrowing flexibility, a line of credit can spell trouble for people who have trouble sticking to a budget and often have little money left at the end of the month to apply to their debt. A personal loan or a refinanced mortgage might be better options because they require a defined principal repayment plan instead of allowing interest-only payments.

• Control your debt by cutting up all your credit cards – except for one that you keep only for emergencies.

• If you are using a debt counseling company, be sure the company is reputable and focused on your best interests.

Debt consolidation can be an important part of a debt management plan but speak with a professional advisor to ensure your plan works for you and to get advice on how to create a longer term financial plan that fits with your improved debt control and cash flow to help you achieve all your life goals.

Annual Earth Day Nature Walk to Blueberry Mountain set for April 21 EMC Events – This year’s annual Earth Day Nature Walk to Blueberry Mountain takes place on Sunday, April 21, hosted by the Clifford family and the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC).

In keeping with the theme of ‘Nature for All Ages’, all those 80 and over as well as children who climb the mountain will be specially honoured.

The Earth Day Nature Walk has become a wonderful tradition where families and individuals of all ages come together to enjoy a celebration of nature and support MMLTC’s efforts to preserve beautiful and ecologically sensitive tracts of wilderness. To celebrate the oldest and youngest, cliffLAND has established thriving clubs for those 80 years of age and older, 12 years and younger, and five years and younger who reached the Blueberry summit. Club membership comes with certificates and of course cake to share with family and friends. But more important, the members take home wonderful memories of the peace and wonder of standing on the mountain gazing over the rich wilderness reaching to the horizon.

Participants of the Earth Day walk have the choice of taking the direct route to Blueberry Mountain or a half-hour longer route to the top. The longer route includes a stop at an impressive old cedar grove, home to a magnificent ancient cedar. Blueberry Mountain, acclaimed

Over the past 12 months the South East CCAC has helped an average of 135 people access a long-term care home each month.

How long you wait also depends on the size of the waiting list in each home and the urgency of your need.

You can choose up to five homes, in order of preference. The more urgent your need, the more choices you will be encouraged to make.

If you move to a home that is not your first choice, you may stay on the waiting list for your first choice.

Be aware of the many dangers of detoxification diets EMC Lifestyle – Springtime is often seen as a time for cleaning whether it is your house, your garage or even your car. However, many people see this as a time to “cleanse” their bodies with a detox diet. Is this really necessary or is this another fad?

Detox is short for detoxification, sometimes also called a “cleanse”.

These diets are promoted as being a way to remove “toxins” from the body with an added bonus of weight loss. This practice usually is marketed as a way to get rid of the “toxins” that we ingest from foods and the environment. Some

detox diets don’t allow certain foods, and involve supplements, special drinks, pills and expensive products. There are a lot of internet sites and products on store shelves that claim your body is “toxic”. However, when you look a little closer, the evidence is only testimonials (e.g., “this product worked for me! I lost 20 pounds and feel great!) and are not based on any scientific evidence.

No, there is no research to prove that detox diets are necessary or safe. It is important to note that many of these “quick fixes” are marketed under the assumption that people are not aware of how the body works. You are naturally equipped with your own detox sys-

Nutrition Tips tem to keep you healthy. Your liver and kidneys effectively eliminate ingested toxins, your immune system fights off illness and your digestive system is very effective in absorbing nutrients from food and eliminating waste via urine, stool and sweat. There is no scientific evidence to demonstrate that detox diets work. Anything that promises a quick fix and involves radical changes to your life is usually not sustainable over time.

If you are restricting certain foods or taking in very little calories, weight loss

is mainly from water, not fat. Also, if you are restricting calories or fasting for long periods, your body goes into “conservation mode”, which actually causes you to burn calories more slowly and can result in rapid weight gain once you start eating normally again.

Depending on the type of detox diet, there can be some harmful side effects including: nausea, fatigue, irritability, decreased metabolism, constipation and insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals. It is also important to note that children, older adults, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people who have a chronic disease (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease) are at high

risk for negative side effects from detox diets and should avoid them.

You don’t need to diet or limit yourself to certain foods or supplements to be healthy. Eat foods naturally high in fibre and antioxidants such as vegetables and fruit and whole grain products, along with drinking water, to keep your digestive system healthy. Eating regular meals and snacks and being physically active in a way you enjoy is more effective for achieving long-term good health. You do not need to “clean” out your body.

“The Almonte General Hospital/ Fairview Manor Foundation can’t thank Kitts and Dunlap enough for their efforts,” said foundation executive director Gerry Huddleston. “What has become a Wednesday night tradition at the Naismith Pub will turn into quite the fundraiser for the hospital, thanks to several talented Celtic musicians.”

Dunlap said the jam sessions feature, “the best fiddlers in the Ottawa Valley.”

Almonte’s Cindy Thompson-a former national champion who is now a fiddler and step dancing teacher-plays, as does the talented Don Fletcher, also a well-known fiddling teacher.

Joining the fiddlers are guitar players, Marion Miller on the harp, an accordion, a tin whistle, mandolins, a piano, banjo and AGH/FVM Foundation chair Art Solomonian on the bodhran, a type of drum.

EMC News – Celtic jam sessions held at Almonte’s Naismith Pub are now available on a CD being sold to help raise funds for the Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor (AGH/FVM) Foundation.

Naismith Pub owner Charlie Kitts and Wednesday night Celtic jam sessions organizer Charlie Dunlap recently produced a CD of live Celtic music. Proceeds from the sale of the $20 CDs will go towards the purchase of essential medical equipment for AGH/FVM. The Celtic jam sessions have been taking place at the Naismith Pub for about three years. “We have a good following of musicians and patrons,” said Kitts. “I sat there listening to the music and thought they should have a CD.” Kitts and Dunlap began thinking about a CD that would raise funds for a worthy cause and AGH was top of mind.

“The jam sessions attract intermediate to highly skilled participants,” said Kitts, an Ottawa Country Music Hall of Fame member who has been involved in the music scene for 50 years. “The music is highquality and the calibre has gone up, up and up.”

Kitts is also the best-known master of ceremonies for fundraising events

Ontario Trillium Foundation invests in Almonte, Smiths Falls community EMC News – The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) is investing in 25 not-for-profit and charitable organizations in Quinte, Kingston and Rideau, including those in Almonte, Smiths Falls and Elizabethtown-Kitley.

Many of the grants announced today support community organizations to increase their impact and create sustainable benefits for residents and their communities. OTF funding will be used to create more opportunities for engagement in community life for families and individuals of all ages and abilities through improved community activities, programs and infrastructure.

“Our government recognizes the important role the Ontario Trillium Foundation plays in helping to enhance the quality of life for all Ontarians by building healthier and more vibrant communities,” said Michael Chan, Ontario Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. “OTF helps not-for-profit and charitable organizations better deliver on their mission and make the most of investments through partnership, collaboration and inclusive programs for the benefit of all.” In addition to local community grants, OTF is announcing 38 province-wide grants.

The social and economic impact of this broad funding to larger organizations will benefit communities across the province. “OTF invests for impact in the community. Our funding enables community groups to keep their focus on their missions. We are successful in achieving our own mission only to the extent that grant recipients create lasting, meaningful results,” said Elizabeth Heately, chair of grant review team for Quinte, Kingston and Rideau OTF. Community grants Some of the local organizations receiving funding are: The Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, who will get $69,600 over two years to engage residents in developing a lake management plan for Mississippi Lake.

It will help protect and preserve the environmental health of the lake for current and future residents in the four surrounding municipalities

Everyone is invited to attend and meet the artists. The show continues until May 30.

The flowers of spring shine out of the striking canvases of Linda Bergeron Baril and Lesha Kokosy, both new to Gallery Perth.

Dirk Mietzker and Rosemary Leach delight, as always, with their take on the everyday things of life and, returning to Gallery Perth after an absence, is Margaret Ferraro whose canvases vibrate with life. Balancing the spectrum, the landscapes of Bonnie Brooks, John Alexander Day and Heather Pate add a note of serenity, along with the classically inspired paintings of Kathy McNenly. The unique styles of Monika Seidenbusch, Wayne Williams and Rosemary Kralik will gladden the eye.

Several other artists will also be featured throughout the exhibit.

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

promise. Hopefully we will have a chance to take the Vancouver SkyTrain again in future.

The frequency of trains is excellent and the system has a very high (95 per cent) on-time reliability rating.

One thing that struck us as odd was that there are no turnstiles.

You just walk straight onto the trains through open gates. No one checked to see if we had a valid pass although we definitely did.

Our experience is that you don’t get on subways or light rail systems without a pass.

My research shows that the “honour system” on SkyTrain leads to millions of dollars (up to $4 million annually) in lost revenue due to fare evasion. But the matter is now in hand and fare gates are expected to be operational on much of the network later this year. A card system will allow users through the turnstiles, similar to most other major centres in the world.

We were impressed by our limited exposure to SkyTrain. The cars are modern and clean and the system is efficient. At least it is on weekends. We didn’t use it on busier week days.

The drawback for us was that the light rail system did not go to English Bay, the picturesque tourist mecca where we were staying.

Expensive plan

Our Vancouver experience made me think of the planned Ottawa light rail expansion. The Ottawa plan is being heavily criticized as far too expensive, as well as for being not nearly as comprehensive (far reaching) as residents of the national capital region would like.

Spending billions on such a limited service doesn’t make sense to me either!

I think Ottawa would be far better served to improve its buses only ‘Transitway’ which has gaps that make the artery impractical.

Critics say the Transitway corridor is too confined to allow for expansion and that may well be true. But it strikes me that finding ways to make that network more user friendly would be the best and least expensive alternative.

We live in Carleton Place and like so many communities in the commuter belt around Ottawa better access to the city via public transit is badly needed by so many residents here.

Conservative estimates are that 70 per cent of the workforce in Carleton Place travels to and from Ottawa to work every day. Many of them drive because they believe the privately run buses which currently serve the community (they link with OC Transpo) are not practical for a number of reasons.

The twinning (four laning) of Highway 7 has been complete for some time. But regular commuters joke that it “only gets you to the jam-up (on busy Highway 417) faster.” That is literally true. I have experienced it several times when I have been forced to drive into the city during rush hour.

Sadly the passenger rail line which once connected Carleton Place with Ottawa was foolishly removed in the 1980s. The

possibility of a light rail extension to towns such as this one is too expensive to contemplate. I have heard that directly from politicians who rule out the idea completely.

If the planned light rail expansion in Ottawa is not extensive and efficient then the likelihood is that it won’t meet the needs of those it is meant to serve.

Obviously you can’t compare Ottawa to cities like London and Paris or even Toronto and Montreal.

However, all of those centres have excellent subway systems and there is no question they are the backbone of the transport network in those centres.

I am not affected by the public transit situation in Ottawa. But I have many neighbours, friends and family members who are.

All of my acquaintances would like to see a light rail alternative.

Given the horrendous cost of the current proposal, especially considering the economic circumstances of the moment (especially in Ontario) they feel it should be reconsidered.

During the brutal winter which is only now making its way into history we saw first-hand the deficiencies of Ottawa’s Transitway.

Buses, mainly the articulated variety featuring sections linked by a pivot point, jack-knifed in slushy, icy conditions. That led to lengthy delays for OC Transpo passengers.

I believe finding ways to improve the buses only roadway as well as adding more double decker buses and doing away with the problem-plagued articulated buses would be far more advisable and affordable options for Ottawa.

Double decker buses are a good way to increase passenger loads.

EMC Lifestyle – We have had the good fortune to visit a number of major cities in Canada, the United States and overseas.

The biggest friend to any visitor is a viable public transportation system. Of course public transit means even more too local people who depend on it for travel to and from their places of employment.

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of spending six days in Vancouver.

The city has a comprehensive bus transit system and it has a “greener” than normal profile.

That’s because the vehicles are mostly fitted to run on an overhead electrical grid.

The lack of diesel fumes was refreshing, especially when compared to cities such as London, England which my wife and I are so familiar with.

I always enjoy riding the buses, probably because I only do it when we are away on vacation. Our son, who lives in Ottawa and rode on OC Transpo for years, has a very different point of view. I probably would too if I was forced to ride city buses every day.

In Vancouver we also had an opportunity to try out the city’s much vaunted ‘SkyTrain’ which began operating in 1985. Today the system encompasses three lines, 43 stations and includes 68.7 kilometres (42.8 miles) of track.

Although the literature notes that most of the track is elevated, you couldn’t prove that by us.

Our limited travel all seemed to be underground which made me wonder where the name “SkyTrain” came from?

I have since educated myself on the subject and realize we will have to travel much farther to enjoy the spectacular views the brochures

COLUMN From page 30

The expense and the limited service (in terms of the entire region) which goes with a light rail system renders it impractical in my opinion.

Trivia answer In last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column on the return of Major League Baseball for this season I asked a trivia question. Several readers have since provided answers, some correct and

some incorrect. The question was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What team won Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last professional sports title and in what year?â&#x20AC;?

No, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the original Ottawa Senators in 1927. It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been that long since the city tasted pro sports success!

And no, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the 1976 Ottawa Rough Riders although that is a very good guess. Area football fans, including yours truly, will never forget the Tom Clements to Tony Gabriel pass in the dying seconds that gave

the now defunct Roughies their ninth Grey Cup 37 years ago.

The answer is the Ottawa Lynx in 1995. The baseball club won the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; emblematic of success in the historic International League (IL) which was formed in 1884. Lynx defeated Norfolk (Virginia) Tides in the 1995 IL championship series.

Festival of the Maples prepares to entice the avid sweet tooth LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thousands of people come from miles around to get a little taste of the maples in Perth.

The Festival of the Maples, coming to town April 27, is an event that has spanned 37 years. Organizers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce and company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have a huge day of events fit for the entire family.

Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games, entertainment, vendors, demos and buckets of maple syrup products will be available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Festival of the Maples is about welcoming spring,â&#x20AC;? says Dorothy Linden, chair of the organizing committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for all ages; lots for kids to do and parents alike.â&#x20AC;?

There are some new attractions this year, the biggest one being a thank-you of sorts to local car dealerships.

An auto showcase will be open in Market Square (behind town hall near the bandshell) where dealerships will have the latest models of vehicles on site.

Participating dealerships include Hinton Dodge Chrysler and Perth Kia of Perth; Rivington Auto Sales of Carleton Place/ Smiths Falls and Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac of Smiths Falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These dealerships do an enormous amount in our community and this is our way to showcase them and to say thank you,â&#x20AC;? Linden says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years we have had tremendous support from our dealerships. We want to enhance their presence this year.â&#x20AC;?

Vendors along Gore Street have increased this year to 169 from 144 last year. Store owners have opted to purchase the sidewalk space in front of

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to have laser tag... and working with the Splash Pad committee is a great partnership.â&#x20AC;?

DOROTHY LINDEN CHAIR FESTIVAL OF THE MAPLES COMMITTEE

their establishments to welcome the public to town and into their stores.

Gore Street from Foster to Harvey will be the street of vendors and where much of the action will be taking place.

Crystal Place and the basin area will also host a lot of activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another new event this year is laser tag in the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area of Crystal Palace,â&#x20AC;? says Linden.

Participants will pay a fee of $5 to take part in laser tag

by Siloki of Smiths Falls. All proceeds will be donated to the Perth Splash Pad committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited to have the laser tag this year as another new event and working with the Splash Pad committee is a great partnership,â&#x20AC;? Linden says.

Festival of the Maples runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and despite the number of people who are in town for the event, organizers are optimistic that there is ample parking on side streets and â&#x20AC;&#x153;back of town on Sherbrooke Street,â&#x20AC;?

Linden says.

Day trippers to Perth for the event are coming into town from Ottawa, and many will stay the weekend, says Pauline Fitchett, chamber manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The numbers are hard to attain,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to say a good estimate on the number of visitors to Perth would be about 10,000.â&#x20AC;?

MAIN STREET ENTERTAINMENT On the main stage at Herriott and Gore streets, the Smiths Falls Gordon Pipe Band â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a topnotch 20-piece Scottish pipe and drum corps that has delighted audiences since 1996 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will kick start the celebrations, followed by the official opening ceremonies at 10:30 a.m. with CTV Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Max Keeping, Perth & District Chamber of Commerce president Jill Campbell; Perth Mayor John Fenik and. the Lanark & District Maple Syrup Producers Awards presentation.

At 11 a.m. Concession 23, a lively bluegrass band from the Ottawa Valley and winners at the Central Canada Bluegrass Awards will take to the stage, followed by the Dynamite Tay Square Dancers at noon who will entertain with modern square dancing at its best, The Mick Armitage Band is on stage at 1 p.m.; Wade Foster and doubleBack at 2 p.m. as well as a performance by young Henry Norwood and newcomer Jordan McIntosh.

The Doherty Brothers Band, an exciting six-piece Rock Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roll group is slated for 3 p.m.

MCs for the day are John Chatwood of Jack 92.3 and Brian Perkin of Lake 88.1.

CRYSTAL PALACE The Nepean Panharmonic Steel Band will be bringing the sounds of Trinidad-Tobago to the Tay Basin with their rhythmic 10-piece band from noon to 2:15 p.m. and at the Perth Town Hall area, the King of the Swingers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a roaming, energized, upbeat Dixie group will play from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 12th annual Empty Bowls fundraiser was held at the Foodsmiths store in Perth on Saturday, April 13. Every year, Empty Bowls distributes more than $10,000 to address food scarcity among children and youth in the Perth area. About 10 per cent of donations for these bowls go to programs administered by agencies like The Table (the former Perth and District Food Bank), YAK youth centre, and Food for Thought school breakfast programs. The bowls are available year round at Riverguild Fine Crafts, 51 Gore St. E., Perth.

Author urges making Perth a transition town

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC Business – Failing to prepare means preparing to fail.

Always be prepared.

No matter how you say it, Lanarkbased author Mike Nickerson wants Perth and the surrounding area to be ready for it – a changing economic landscape, the end of peak oil, and climate change.

Speaking before Perth town council’s committee-of-the-whole on Tuesday, April 9, he urged the town to host a meeting connected with the concerns of the Transition Town movement, to get Perth and surrounding areas ready for these changes to come, and to

make a more locally-based, sustainable economy.

Back in the days of the early European explorers, the waters off of the coast of Newfoundland were teeming with fish.

All one had to do was dip a net into the waters, and when they were drawn back on board the ship, they were full to overflowing with fish.

“For 400 years, it didn’t take a lot of skill to make a living from fishing,” said Nickerson. “(Catch) more fish, more money. More fish, more money. For four centuries, we didn’t think we would make a dent in this vast resource.”

But most resources are finite, and eventually, the fisheries on the east coast all but collapsed, for a variety of

reasons. Now, Nickerson believes that we are moving from a growth-based economy to living within our resources.

He predicts that concerns about peak oil are very real, and that the fossil fuel age will come to an end within the lifetime of a child born today.

“It is not an accident that most of the world is in debt up to here,” said Nickerson. The planet, too, is living on borrowed resources. “The planet is full.

Perth is going to have to adapt to these changes.”

He admits that his suggestions will mean the end of economic ‘progress’, but he sees it as essential for the good of the planet.

“Oh, we will have less energy to

work with,” said Nickerson. “(And an) economic system that will have to stagnate,” because we are running out of resources and space.

He suggested that Perth could look at a pilot project that was first used in a village in post-war Austria, where a local currency was developed.

“People were passing the money around 14 times for every one time in other similar towns,” said Nickerson.

Peterborough and Ottawa are also looking at bringing in a local currency.

“We need to belong in this community,” he said, not only through economic bonds, but social ones as well, to foster a sense of belonging.

Mayor John Fenik agreed that town

EMC News - The choirs of St. Paul’s United Church, St. James Anglican Church and Friends will be performing Missa Gaia Earth Mass at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore Street West in Perth this coming Sunday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m.

The uniqueness of this 20th century setting of the mass is that it is performed with not only the usual choir, soloists and orchestra, but also recordings of birds, animals and sea creatures - a testament to the Gaia hypothesis “that the entire range of living matter on Earth, from whales to viruses, and from oaks to algae, could be regarded as constituting a single living

entity”.

The first featured animal recording heard in the work is that of an Alaskan tundra wolf, howling her plaintiff fournote descending melody at the start of the Kyrie. This is imitated by the soprano saxophone and a soprano soloist, followed by a few soprano voices and then the whole choir and orchestra.

The Sanctus and Benedictus movement begins with a recording of a humpback whale, recorded from a small sailboat off the island of Bermuda. The whale call consists of four, two-note phrases, repeated seven times. Paul Winter, the com-

poser, borrows two of the whale’s phrases for the two-note melodic idea which suits the two-syllable “Sanctus” text that the choir sings.

The nine-piece orchestra consists of soprano saxophone, oboe/English horn, cello, piano, organ, bass, guitar, drums and percussion. Cellist Rick Tersteeg is featured in a cello solo entitled Stained Glass Morning, which is accompanied by a recording of a musical wren, a wood-thrush and the dawn chorus.

Harp seal pups join the chorister is the Agnus Dei and Loon, Wolf and Whale add their voices to the closing “Let Us Depart

www.perth.ca WORKING SMOKE ALARMS PROVIDE EARLY FIRE DETECTION To prevent a tragic fire in your home, Perth Fire Chief Steve Fournier is urging residents to ensure they have working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas of their homes.

Every home is required, by law, to have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. These can be hard-wired or battery-operated depending on when your home was built. Both types are required to meet the same standard for smoke alarms, and both are equally effective and acceptable under the Ontario Fire Code. If you do not have a smoke alarm on every storey of your home, it is vital that you install them as soon as possible. If you need assistance, please call us.

Residents are urged to test their smoke alarms every month by pressing the test button. If the alarms fail to sound, and it is a hard-wired smoke alarm, make sure you have it looked at right away. If it is a battery-operated smoke alarm, make sure that the battery is installed correctly or install a new battery. If the alarm still fails to sound, replace the smoke alarm with a new one. Smoke alarms should be tested once a month and batteries should be replaced every year. Smoke alarms don’t last forever.

Replace smoke alarms with new ones if they are more than 10 years old. The Perth Fire Department supplies, and installs (if needed) free battery operated smoke alarms.

Only working smoke alarms can give you the early warning you need to safely escape a fire. There is no time to spare in a fire. When you hear the alarm you MUST get out immediately. TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM TODAY! For more information, contact the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574.

HYDRANT FLUSHING Commencing the week of May 6 to 10, 2013 the Town of Perth will conduct spring fire hydrant flushing. Fluctuations in water colour and pressure may result but will only be temporary. Please direct your inquiries at any time to 613-267-1072.

Hospital administration seeks new ways of generating revenue From front page

Between 80 and 90 per cent of the hospital’s funding comes from the province, as does 90 per cent of a hospital’s capital funding, so finding other revenue streams away from Queen’s Park was not easy. Fundraising, done mostly through the respective hospital foundations at both sites, “does not come close to meeting a hospital’s capital needs,” according to a report presented to council by Bisonette.

“There are not a lot of revenue generating opportunities in a hospital, except for parking, and that is tapped out,” said Bisonette.

On March 8, six beds at each site were closed, as the most public manifestation of the cuts. The report also listed a decrease of two full time employees in the physiotherapy department, a decrease of 0.2 full time employees in the clinical nutrition unit, and a decrease of 0.6 for a community education coordinator/sexual assault/domestic violence program. With all of these changes, the hospital is now predicting a surplus of $960,000 for 2013-14.

“I am thrilled with that,” said Bisonette of the books being in the black.

She reported that, as of earlier that day, there were 15 empty beds in the

hospitals. “We certainly are able to offer care,” said Bisonette. “It used to be that a hospital was judged on how many beds it had. Things have changed dramatically” with quicker turnaround

times for patients, from the operating table to getting back home.

“We will be working on the debt that has been accumulated over time,” said Bisonette. “The acute care services that

you know and love in Smiths Falls and Perth will still be there.”

Another priority for her will be reducing overtime and sick time amongst employees, as well as “accepting our

‘new’ normal and maintaining/attaining a positive attitude which will reflect in outstanding patient care and patient satisfaction,” according to her written report to council.

Volunteers support Empty Bowls food charity at Festival of the Maples EMC News - What is so inspiring about us is our capacity to give - and to discover we gain even more in doing so. The hands and hearts of passionate volunteers will fuel the 12th year of the Empty Bowls project, next Saturday, April 27 at the Festival of the Maples.

Serving tasty, donated soup in $20 stoneware bowls crafted by local potters, the Scotiabank Team Community Program will work to raise money for local (primarily) and international food programs that will nurture the lives and bellies of thousands.

“We put our hands and hearts to work for a cause,” says Jill Campbell, branch manager of Scotiabank in Perth and Lanark for the last seven years. “It’s such a feel-good project; we’ve had 100 per cent staff participation every year.”

Perth’s Empty Bowls project began in 2002, when local potter Jackie Seaton, an active supporter of social justice, learned of the “Empty Bowls” concept and decided to try it in Perth. An idea born in Michigan, the first project began with a teacher who asked his class to make bowls and sell them to parents for food bank donations. The project was so successful it began to catch on among potters in numerous cities and villages.

And it’s no wonder the project captures hearts. The Empty Bowls donations (85 per cent) go primarily toward local food programs, including The Table Community Food Centre, the Y.A.K. Youth Centre supper program,

and Food for Thought, a Lanark County school breakfast program. Each of these directly provides quality food to those needing support: seniors, youth, families, and anyone struggling to make ends meet. Remaining donations go to nutrition programs with strong ties to Perth: The Guatemala Stove Project and the Lieutenant Governor’s Aboriginal Literacy Summer Camp.

“Empty Bowls’ emphasis is on raising more money and serving more clients with good food,” says Seaton, the primary donor of the stoneware.

“Money from the bowls goes directly to the food security programs.” The Table also receives funding from Community Food Centres Canada, which extends the scope of helping beyond providing food, toward such issues as proper nutrition education for families and pregnant moms, and support for “dads and kids” in the kitchen. Empty Bowls replenishes the scarcity of food and shares the life affirming joys that good food provides.

“Empty Bowls is a way of giving back,” says Campbell. “It’s the biggest fundraising endeavor we do.” Scotiabank supports many local charities, and matches donations with 20 organizations this year. They began their partnership with Empty Bowls three years ago, lending strong financial backing through their charity program. The program supports its staff to raise funds for community causes, and will match donations gathered up to $5,000. At last year’s Fes-

tival of the Maples, the local Scotiabank staff replenished hot soup and bread from sponsoring restaurants and served the public, raising the full $5,000, doubled to $10,000 by Scotiabank. Empty Bowls raised $17,000, including bowls sold through Foodsmiths.

“It’s a lesson in effective partnering,” Campbell explains. “The program encourages staff volunteerism, and recognizes the good hearts of people behind the cause.” She expresses sincere appreciation for Seaton’s role: “So much credit goes to him for his passion, enthusiasm, appreciation and organizational skills. He meets with our staff from time to time and makes it very easy for us to participate.”

Seaton is supported by volunteers and joined by several other potters who contribute to the cause, including Ann Chambers, Glenn Gangnier, Rita Redner and Susie Osler. Over the last 11 years, Perth potters have donated 7,500 handmade bowls in exchange for public donations totaling $150,000. These bowls have been graciously filled by soup from Fiddleheads, Bistro 54, Mex & Co, Stone Cellar and The Sunflower Bake Shop. The Empty Bowls booth stands outside Riverguild Fine Crafts, its sponsor and home of Seaton’s stoneware and all the potters’ work.

Seaton is willing to continue Empty Bowls, with local support. “For whatever reason, the Perth community has really taken to Empty Bowls and given so

Queen Elizabeth School students are raising money to play

R0012040144_0418

EMC News - With 400 students and only one play structure in its yard, the Queen Elizabeth School community wants to expand its playground infrastructure. To turn that idea into reality, a group of parents hope to raise $35,000 by the year end in order to put the shovel in the ground this summer.

After completing its first play yard upgrading phase, which consists of an outdoor classroom, the school’s next phase will include a dry stone riverbed with butterfly-attracting plants, ID cards for other insects and plants as well as a play structure, which is called the ‘energy burner’ for five to 12-year-old students. Talk about a dream play area!

If the school receives $50 per student enrolled at the school, the project is covered.

To make that happen, the school com-

mittee will host an upcoming concert fundraiser at Temples Sugar Bush. Renowned folk musicians James Keelaghan and Jenny Whitely (who also happen to be Queen E parents) will be part of the line-up at this concert which takes place May 31. Tickets are $75 and there will be a cash bar and silent auction.

OPINION

Attack ads on Trudeau lack sense of humour EMC Editorial – Bullies don’t have a sense of humour. They’re far too insecure for that.

We’re not saying that all Conservatives are bullies or bereft of a sense of the ridiculous – just whoever was behind the attack ads launched earlier this week at newly-installed federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.

So Justin grew a moustache for Movember to raise cancer awareness. And he did a strip tease at a Canadian Liver Foundation fundraiser. To which we say – so what? Did he hurt someone? No. Did he help someone? Yes. Is it something he might regret now? Yes. But did he do it for the right reasons? Yes. He was, literally, giving the foundation the shirt off his back, and it raised $1,900. And the foundation is standing by him.

Remember that other MPs have also similarly disrobed. We all remember that famous photograph of former Prime Minister Kim Campbell, appearing to be naked behind a judicial robe. (She was actually wearing a strapless gown.)

And Nova Scotia Liberal MP Scott Brison – a former Progressive Conservative – also took off all of his clothes for a fundraising calendar, for a tasteful nude shot with strategically placed objects obscuring the view.

On both the left and the right, we’ve seen politicians do things that they regret. Remember Stockwell Day’s infamous wetsuit press conference on a British Columbia lake in 2000?

Also, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Remember Pierre Trudeau’s pirouette behind Queen Elizabeth II? How about when he appeared at a Canadian Football League game in a cape?

Canadians will decide for themselves, likely by 2015, if Justin has what it takes to become prime minister. They will make their decision based on the policies he puts forward, what he says, and what he does.

Interestingly, the Conservatives may have actually done the Liberals a favour. In the 1980s,

60 Minutes ran a story on cutbacks being made

by President Ronald Reagan. The Reagan White House phoned reporter Leslie Stahl to thank her for the story. She was perplexed: the story was not meant to be a positive one for the president. The spokesman explained that, if one turned off the volume on the TV, all you saw were the images of Reagan meeting with seniors, and appearing empathetic and caring. That’s what people remembered.

Turn off the volume on this ad, and all you will see is an attractive young man taking his shirt off to raise money for sick people. As images go, it’s not that bad really.

Also, they berate Trudeau for his lack of experience – even though he has about as much experience on Parliament Hill as an MP as Stephen Harper did when he became leader of the old Canadian Alliance in 2002. (Harper, 1993 to 1997, Trudeau, 2008 to 2013 by the time he became Liberal leader). And think back to how many of you got one of your first summer jobs as a camp counselor, or found your voice through drama?

And the ads certainly kiss off the white water rafting vote. Only his House of Commons attendance record seems to be even remotely fair game.

These ads make the Conservatives seem like grumpy old men, devoid of a sense of humour, ready to tell that Trudeau kid to get off their lawn.

And it is sad that we now live in an age where we knew that, as night begets day, so too would Monday bring us a new slew of negative ads.

Enough with these bullying character assassinations – focus instead on the silly things Trudeau has said. Sadly, there are ample sound clips to choose from. Are there not more important things, like the hollowing out of middle class jobs being shipped to India, that deserve our attention?

Editorial Deadline - Monday 12 noon dryer woes had necessitated a return to the use of drying racks and draping laundry around the house.

As much fun as it was to reminisce about being newlyweds just starting out, it quickly lost its charm.

With the dryer issue seemingly resolved, it was time to put things back in order. This weekend I knew I had to start a house recovery mission.

Honourable Malcolm Cameron I had slacked so long it was a daunting task.

Avoiding hoarders, bin by bin

Member of the Baldwin-La Fontaine cabinet, leader of the Clear Grit Movement, champion of temperance and founder of the Courier.

The contents of this newspaper are protected by copyright and may be used only for your personal, non-commercial purposes. All other rights are reserved and commercial use is prohibited. Permission to republish any material must be sought from the relevant copyright owner.

I started by resolving the dryer-related mess. Items that lived on top of the dryer were removed from the dining room table. Manuals were filed. Related clutter was sorted. Drying racks were returned to the back of a storage STEPHANIE GRAY cupboard.

Now what? Where to start.

The house is a disaster!

I looked around and figured I might as well start with the worst of it: the den. Oh, the den. Keep in mind that a “den” is defined by Oxford as a “wild animal’s lair.”

I have been glossing over the den cleaning for a bit too long, particularly under the futon. Did you know there’s hardwood flooring under there?

See, that’s where there are three bins belonging to Boychild that have been collecting toys and debris for many years. Purging them has been on my list since about 2009. Lately, I have been hurriedly shoving stuff further under the futon in the vain hope it would just jump tidily in the bins.

Wrong.

Time to face the music.

I pulled everything out from under the futon. I found 756 Nerf guns accompanied by 5,799 Nerf bullets – about a third of them busted. There were approximately 698 toy vehicles in various states of repair and 6,755 plastic toy soldiers, not to mention the 88,765 assorted pieces of Lego, K’Nex and Bionicles.

I loaded all of this into the largest of the bins, and then Boychild and I methodically sorted through it.

There will be donations.

That one task (complete with vacuuming, dusting and washing something weird off the wall behind the futon) took up the better part of the afternoon – and that was just one bin and a few square feet of space.

I haven’t even told you about Girlchild’s bins. Or the basement. If any Hoarders execs see the basement, we’re doomed….

Letters

Reader expresses appreciation for good things in Perth To the Editor, I would like to give some credit where credit is due… to express appreciation for some of the good things we, and especially my parents, now well into their 90s, have experienced in Perth since we came here.

My parents moved here about 15 years ago, and my wife and I, about five. Here are some examples, among many, of what I am talking about (no names mentioned, in case I leave someone out).

My dad used to enjoy shopping at a local store. When he couldn’t get there, he would phone, and one of the employees would take down his list, get what he needed and bring it over on the way home — no charge for the service.

At tax time, the lady at the local tax preparers would drive over to their house, check whether all the papers were there, and, if necessary, drive to the bank and other places to get whatever was missing. All kinds of help that was beyond the call of duty.

My mother used to enjoy an outing to a local restaurant. It was too far for her to walk most days, but there

were taxi drivers who took time and showed patience, and restaurant staff who knew what she wanted and would give her the right change. Next to the restaurant was the bank, where again, with her diminished faculties, she was shown patience and treated with honesty by the staff.

Finally but undoubtedly foremost on the list, the doctors, nurses and ambulance staff at the Perth hospital have

all gone the second mile in their service to my parents — truly the word “patient” should apply as much to those who follow these callings as to the people receiving the care.

As for my wife and I, refugees from Ottawa, we have found friendliness — putting people above things — to be very much a part of life in Perth.

There are exceptions, of course, but on the whole, it’s great to be able to

go out and encounter not an alienated stare, but a friendly greeting and perhaps a conversation.

On a more pragmatic line, we have found professional and trades people here to be highly competent and more than reasonable in the fees they charge. They are not money grubbers.

And because of the less pressured environment, one receives more help in the details.

When one thinks of Perth as a “heritage” town, one usually has in mind its physical structures. But we have found that the spirit of kindness encountered here, surely a remnant of a Christian past, has to be counted as no less a part of Perth’s heritage than its stone buildings.

Dave Saunders Perth

High standing for hospital no surprise

To the Editor, The high standing of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital in a recent survey conducted by CBC Marketplace came as no surprise to me. As a retired cardiac surgeon I have trained and worked in a variety of teaching and community hospitals in Canada, US, and the United Kingdom. In addition I have undergone multiple major and emergency surgical procedures in four different teaching hospitals and in Perth at GWMH. The care I received in Perth from the emergency room and in-patient facilities equaled or exceeded any that I received in any of the teaching facilities.

In one or two cases, the teaching hospital was markedly inferior.

In my experience of several departments and clinics, at both sites, the excellence of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has extended to all aspects of care from housekeeping to major surgery and post-op care.

It is to be hoped that governments at all levels will recognize the value of a centre of excellence such as PSFDH and build on the expertise that has been created. Highly competent centres like this one are probably the best basis for the efficient development of health care.

Certainly, much more emphasis needs to be placed on preventive measures but wellness will not replace illness any time soon if ever.

Garry Cornel Perth

Letter omission

In Nancy Lightford’s letter to the editor last week, “Open letter replies to MP’s mailer”, the following paragraph was omitted: If cutting waste is a government priority, then I suppose Peter McKay will forfeit his cabinet seat having overseen the most egregious waste of taxpayers’ money on the F35 fiasco. Then, not to mention Tony Clement’s arena and gazebo built in his riding with tax dollars siphoned off from border security during the G20 conference in Toronto. The Perth Courier EMC regrets the omission.

Fiddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance to raise funds for St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Lanark

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Lanark needs new windows.

It also needs to have an accessible washroom.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why members of the congregation have enticed a popular fiddler and company, who has helped raise some $2 million for various charities, to help them out.

The Scott Woods Show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Swinginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fiddles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is making its way across Canada and will be playing at the Lanark church on Saturday, April 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw him play a couple times,â&#x20AC;? said Gail McFarlane, who, along with her husband Grant, have asked Woods to join them for an evening of entertainment to help raise the $3,000 needed for new windows in the church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was absolutely wonderful and we are thrilled he is coming to Lanark.â&#x20AC;?

Woods is no stranger to this area.

Agency reports make recommendations for Middleville subdivision

By AMY HOGUE

EMC News - Reports submitted to Lanark County by Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVC) and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVC) for a proposed Middleville subdivision contain recommendations for the development while echoing concerns raised by residents.

The lands in question are located east of the hamlet of Middleville and south of Wolf Grove Rd., in the Township of Lanark Highlands. The applicant, Jeff Jackson, proposes to subdivide a 108-acre parcel of land into 40 lots between two and four acres in size. Tracy Zander, of Zanderplan Inc., has represented the applicant throughout the subdivision process.

The receipt of reports from commenting agencies are part of the consultation and review process required prior to the approval or denial of the subdivision application by the County of Lanark.

Requests for comments were circulated

to organizations such as Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) MVC, RVC, Canada Post, Bell Canada, Hydro One, among others.

In a report submitted by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), recommendations were made concerning the presence of endangered species located on the property, most notably whippoorwills and Butternut trees.

Prior to providing Draft Plan conditions of approval, MVCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report requested clarification of how the hydrogeological consultant calculated some of its results and information on how the current proposal satisfies sections 2.7 and 4.2.3 of the Lanark Highlands Official Plan (OP). Additional information on the well testing, and a detailed site plan including mapped locations of bedrock outcrops and thin soils, slopes, and the location of proposed wells, septic systems and future dwellings were also requested.

In addition, the MVC report, prepared

by the MVC Environmental Planner, Diane Reid, notes the stormwater quality design provided by the applicant is insufficient since the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) does not recommend the use of grassed swales for stormwater quality for drainage areas greater than two hectares.

The issue of stormwater drainage and the potential impact on surrounding properties was also raised by residents during the public meeting in March. In particular, members of the Rodgers family, whose farm lies next to the proposed subdivision, questioned if there was the potential for stormwater to affect their farmland and their ability to plant and harvest crops.

Crystal Rodger agreed the stormwater management is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;major concernâ&#x20AC;? for the Rodger farm, pointing out that too much water on surrounding lands can flood fields and ruin crops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned the developer and his team donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to consider the best in-

terests of existing neighbours and new owners,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Rodger explained although she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;reassuredâ&#x20AC;? to see the experts (MVC and RVC) had the same concerns, although she added the reports raise more questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I question the integrity of the process,â&#x20AC;? Rodger said, pointing out that although the recommendations provided by the MVC and RVC were dated Feb. 28, there was no mention of the reportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recommendations made at the public meeting, despite similar concerns raised by the public.

The report submitted by the RVC noted many of the same concerns as the MVC report, but also expressed concern for both neighbours and subdivision landowners should the development move forward. It noted that portions of the property featured shallow soil that could wastewater system creation more difficult.

The RVC report said â&#x20AC;&#x153;it would be very difficult for the consultant to state that

there will not be any impacts at this site if on-site wastewater treatment systems are used.â&#x20AC;? The report added that even with proposed mitigation there may be some impacts in the future and recommends future residents be made aware of specific site sensitivities, test their well regularly and follow the subdivision guidelines.

RVC suggested the consultant work with the municipality to ensure the best technologies and mitigation measures are used to protect water wells, not only on the subdivision site, but also for adjacent properties.

One resident who raised concerns about the proposed development at the public meeting in March, Siobhan Baker, said she is relieved to see the concerns raised by the reports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m relieved because of all the concerns raised by township residents against the subdivision, and also because these concerns are now substantiated by See SUBDIVISION page P13

We would like to express our thanks to our relatives, friends and neighbors for the support and condolences offered to us upon the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Carmel Coady.

“Thank you” These words hardly seem adequate for the many acts of kindness shown to our family during a very difficult time. For the phone calls, food, cards, flowers and the many charitable donations made in Mom’s memory. We thank you.

Our thanks to Dr. Michael Dolan, for his wonderful care over the years and we are so very grateful to the nursing staff of Almonte General Hospital for their kindness and outstanding care.

We appreciate all the support provided by CCAC and the caring Red Cross Homecare staff, most especially Betty, Kathy and Nancy... kind, caring, dedicated only begin to describe these very special people. You helped make it possible for Mom to remain at home where she wanted to be, for these last few years. You were our aides, become our friends and we are forever indebted to you.

To Father Lindsay Harrison, our heartfelt thanks for your visits to the hospital, your thoughtfulness, comforting words, spiritual guidance and a truly beautiful and inspirational service. Thanks also to the ladies of the C.W.L. Holy Name of Mary Parish for their prayers offered preceeding Mom’s visitation. To Cathy Giles, our sincere thank you, for the beautiful and meaningful music that filled the church.

To the members of The Almonte Civitan Club, thank you for the refreshments and delicious luncheon following the service.

To Cynthia Nichols and Steve O’Keefe of the Tubman Funeral Homes - Almonte Chapel, our heartfelt appreciation for your support, compassion and professional guidance in ensuring that Mom’s wishes were carried out.

It meant a lot to have family members participate in this service and so we thank...

Erin Wark, Donna Herrick and Debbie Brydges for their readings during the funeral service not an easy task, but beautifully done.

Deborah Coady for the eulogy... memories, thoughts, words from the heart.

The Pallbearers Greg Coady, Michael Wark, Billy Grace, Johnny Grace, Dan Sheahan and Jim Tims, chosen by Mom, to perform this very difficult role.

It is so very hard to say goodbye to those we love. Mom loved her family, she loved her friends, she loved farm life and she loved God. We cherish her love and hold her memory close within our hearts. And again we sincerely say “Thank you” to everyone who has supported us during this difficult time.

COYLES - In loving memory of a dear husband, Elmer Nicholas, who passed away twenty years ago, April 18, 1993.

Tis sweet to know we will meet again, Where parting is no more, And my dear husband, I loved so well, Has only gone before.

God knows how much I miss him, He counts the tears I shed.

And whispers, hush, he only sleeps, Your husband is not dead.

Some day, some time, my eyes shall see, The face I loved so well.

Some day, some time, his hand I’ll clasp, And never say farewell.

Loved and forever missed Jean

Jehu

Grace Elva Jehu

August 9, 1910 - April 7, 2013 Sparkling blue eyes and always ready for anything; a sunny disposition that could light up the darkest corners; warm, loving, caring, nurturing and always there when you needed her; completely devoted to her family, but kind, generous and giving to anyone who needed help; unselfish to the point of having no life of her own. In return she was idolized by all who knew her; although she never looked for more than love in return. That was our mom.

Rhubarb custard pie, pineapple fried chicken; always something cooking on the stove; twenty-four hour diner service; a comforting and reassuring perspective when things looked darkest; solid as a rock; a beacon in a storm; never let you down.

That was our mom.

Now “that mighty heart is lying still”. She’s gone forever, but her love of life will continue to inspire all those who knew her. Although she always tried to prepare us for the inevitable, telling us not to be sad, it doesn’t take away the pain. We’ll miss her so much.

Grace Elva Jehu, née Whitall, was born August 9th, 1910 in Montreal, died in Perth in her one hundred and third year. She’ll be spending eternity in the Old Stone Church Cemetery in South Lancaster, Ontario beside her one and only “Kip”, Robert Clifford Jehu, her childhood sweetheart who became her beloved husband; and her infant son for whom she grieved a lifetime.

Grace is survived by her sons Robert (Connie) of Montreal, David (Bonnie) of McDonalds Corners, Stan (Peggy) of Watson’s Corners. She is also survived by her grandchildren Stephen and Stephanie Jehu and Thomas Jehu, her great grandchild, Mina, her loved nieces and nephews, and by good friends Nancy McFetrick and family, and Robert (Nancy) Moore.

There will be a private graveside ceremony with immediate family.

(There will be no service at Grace’s request). Anyone wishing to make donations on her behalf can do so in her name to the Great War Memorial Hospital in Perth, Ontario or any Humane Society of your choice.

We have nothing but praise and thanks for the wonderful Perth Community Care Centre staff as well as many of the residents who showed kindness towards mom. And we especially want to thank Dr. Peter Jechel for his kind care, understanding, and thoughtful advice. Finally, we would like to thank Stewart Blair for his sensitive and professional services.

Mom had a recurring dream as a child where she found herself surrounded by wild daisies in a sunlit glade. Perhaps she and dad are there now.

“Life is the flash of a firefly in the night.

It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”

I can’t forget that fateful day, You had to leave, you went away.

A sadness filled me up inside, Emotions that I could not hide.

Tears they came, sadness too, All my emotions just for you.

Time will heal so I was told, But time could never fill this hole.

Here in my heart there is a place, You’re always there, keeping me safe.

It’s filled with love and happy times, It’s never dark, your light it shines.

In Heaven now you do reside, To watch over me with love and pride.

I know one day we will meet again, Until we do just know how much I miss you, and LOVE you Always and forever.

Forever remembered

Dear Bobby and Grandpa,

RIP BRENNO May 1, 1951–April 17, 2012 Darling Rip, my One and Only Love of my Life, there are no words to express my love for you! You were, you are and will always be my best friend, loving father, wonderful husband and my true love, forever! You were a proud man that loved life to the fullest and one with a heart of gold! You and I had a very special relationship that could not be beat and I am so thankful for that! We hated being apart from each other and seldom did it happen… we were always together. Although tears fill my eyes and my heart aches every second of each day, I have to try and focus on how blessed we were to have found each other. The last 35 years were the best years of my life with you by my side. It’s extremely difficult to continue without you but I know in my heart, that you are here with us. I can feel you, hear you, smell you and know that you are taking care of us as always. I will cherish our special moments and hold onto our precious memories forever.

We loved holding hands… it was a closeness we shared and I can’t wait for the day to hold your hand again!

We miss you my love, from the bottom of our heart! You are my everything! With all of our Love, heart and soul, Laurie, Jenna and Steven… xo

COYLES - In loving memory of a wonderful father, grandfather and great grandfather, Elmer Nicholas, who passed away twenty years ago, April 18, 1993.

We never really understood At least until we had grown The fullness of a father’s love The joys and cares we’ve known.

We did not see the simple things He did from day to day We simply took for granted His thoughtful loving ways.

But as we grew, our wisdom grew Until the moment when We knew how much his love had meant How wonderful he had been.

And so with warm and loving thoughts We’d simply like to say That Dad you’ll always be remembered Each and every day.

Love from the Coyles family

KING, James Kenneth (Jim)- In loving memory of my husband who passed away one year ago, April 19, 2012 They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal.

But neither time nor reason Will change the way I feel.

No one knows how many times I have broken down and cried.

SHANNON,Bernard (Chum) - In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather who passed away April 23, 2011.

God looked around His garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the 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 that you would never Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb.

So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered Peace Be Thine.

It broke our hearts to lose you Dad, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you Home.

So if roses grow in Heaven God, Please pick a bunch for us, And place them in Dad’s arms And tell him they’re from us.

And when he turns and smiles Place a kiss upon his cheek And hold him for awhile.

Always remembered, The Lyon Family MANTLE, Gerry February 23, 1930 April 13, 2009 In memory of a dearly loved husband, dad and grampa Forever missed by Lois, daughters Lorie (Warren) Cline Lisa (Carl) Thomlinson Meredith (Chris) Hannah and his grandkids Bronwyn and Brenden Cline Emma and Colin Mantle Chloe and Merri Hannah Pre-deceased by son Steve So many memories, So much laughter And always so much love Forever in our thoughts and hearts.

PRATT - In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother, Helen, who passed away April 16, 1997.

We cried when you passed away We still cry today Although we loved you dearly We couldn’t make you stay A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us That He only takes the best, Sadly missed and forever in our hearts Husband Ron and Family PYNDUS - In loving memory of our dear mother, Annie, who passed away April 17, 1993.

The depths of sorrow we cannot tell Of the loss of one we loved so well.

And while she sleeps a peaceful sleep Her memory we shall always keep.

We will meet again some day Love always Kay & Jennie

SADLER - In loving memory of a Dear Father and Grandfather, William (Bill), who passed away April 17, 1983.

Years have passed away But you are always remembered Good times never forgotten.

Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by the family.

SAUNDERS- In loving memory of a dear Husband, Father and Grandfather, Glen, who passed away April 5, 1990.

Your end came fast, and sudden, No time to say, “Goodbye”.

You were gone before we realized, And only God knows why.

The things we felt so dearly, Are the hardest things to say, But we know your memory will never fade away.

Sadly missed and lovingly remembered, by wife Jean,and Family.

SHANNON, Bernard (Chum) - In loving memory of a dear husband who passed away April 23, 2011.

I remember the day I met you And the day God made you mine.

I remember the day God took you And will until the end of time.

We made our vows together Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me My whole world fell apart.

Sometimes I think I’m dreaming I can’t believe it’s true, That I can go on living When I no longer have you.

The memories of the happy years When we were together, The joys, the tears, the love, the fears Will stay with me forever.

And when I’m sad and lonely And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper Cheer up and carry on.

Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say Don’t cry, I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again some day.

Love always Nancy

‘Nunsense II: The Second Coming’ features comedic dialogue and song-and-dance routines

By LISE CORBETT

EMC Entertainment – The musical comedy, ‘Nunsense II: The Second Coming’ features a group of unconventional and competitive nuns – the Little Sisters of Hoboken – who run Mount Saint Helen’s School in New Jersey. The sisters are putting on a benefit performance in appreciation of the support they received in their first-ever show and sell-out success, ‘Nunsense: The Mega Musical.’

The action in this follow-up performance takes place in the gymnasium of the school about six weeks after the first show. The cast features an assortment of characters who, in one way or another, aspire to more than maintain their vows and live a life of quiet devotion. As it turns out, fundraising has offered them the opportunity to not only raise money to bury their dead, but also to showcase their rather formidable talents.

The variety show is replete with comedic dialogue and double-entendres interspersed with song-and-dance routines. The Little Sisters of Hoboken have been bitten by the showbiz bug and are eager to entertain their audience – and they are fully prepared to do so at the risk of upstaging their peers and upsetting the proverbial apple cart.

It is obvious from the outset that the Reverend Mother’s ego knows no bounds and she can’t resist the lure of the spotlight. She is unashamedly determined to be centre stage in the show, which promises to be as successful, if not more so, than the original performance. Unsurprisingly, there are ongoing rivalries between the head nun and her second-in-command, Sister Mary Hubert, whose fighting spirit goes all out to upstage Mother Superior for top spot.

(To borrow a line from one of the show’s songs: “Why be number two when you can be number one?”)

DEATH NOTICE

The Mississippi Mudds are putting the finishing touches on ‘Nunsense II: The Second Coming,’ which will hit the Carleton Place Town Hall April 25, 26 and 27, and on May 2, 3 and 4 at 8 p.m., with a matinee on April 28 at 2 p.m. Above, Trish Smith plays Sister Mary Hubert, whose fighting spirit goes all out to upstage Mother Superior for top spot in the production. Left, Liz Szucs as Sister Robert Anne entertains with her ‘habit humour’.

Below, left: Catherine Clark plays Reverend Mother Superior who’s not amused by the antics of her fellow sisters. Below: Amy Bourne as Sister Mary Leo shows her “Holy Roller” dance moves.

DEATH NOTICE

HIBBINS George (Died April 14, 2013) Hibbins, George Alfred (B-31970, Sgt., RCCS) George Alfred Hibbins, in his 96th year, formerly of Toronto, Bracebridge and most recently Carleton Place, passed courageously Sunday April 14 at the Perley and Rideau Veterans Health Centre in Ottawa. Predeceased by his beloved wife of 65 years, Betty, and siblings Roger and Grace, he will be greatly missed by sons Martin (Jane), Paul, Stephen(Tabatha), and Tim (Victoria), surviving sisters Florence and Edith, his many grandchildren and great grandchildren, and all those who knew him. An active member of Canada’s armed forces 1941-1945, George distinguished himself in the 21st Army Group’s Juno Beach operations and campaign in Northern Europe, before returning to his career at CN Telecoms to which he dedicated more than 35 years. Throughout his life, he selflessly gave of his time to church groups, Scouts Canada, Queensway Minor Hockey, and many others, enriching the lives of all he met. Many thanks to the sensitive and caring staff at Perley and Rideau.

The family will receive friends at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave, Carleton Place, Saturday, April 20 from 10 a.m. until time of funeral service in the Chapel at 12 noon. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Also in the cast is Sister Mary Paul, the amnesiac nun and country singing sensation who won the Clearing House Sweepstakes and brought riches to the Little Sisters of Hoboken. But money only leads to trouble down the road (we can’t say more than that without spilling the beans, so...). Meanwhile, Sister Mary Leo, a novice, is intent on persuading Mother Superior that she has what it takes to become the first nun prima ballerina sans the quintessential tutu usually worn to perform such delicate dance. And Sister Robert Anne, who has special talents in her own right, delivers a comedic routine in which she uses her veil in unusual ways. And of course the performance would not be complete without a cast of supporting characters, all of who are determined to put on the best possible show.

‘Nunsense II: The Second Coming’ will be presented by the Mississippi Mudds at the Carleton Place Town Hall on April 25, 26 and 27, and on May 2, 3 and 4 at 8 p.m., with a matinee on April 28 at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $20 from the Chamber of Commerce.

There is a special price of $15 on opening night only. Call 613-257-1976 or visit www.mississippimudds.ca for more.

Lise Corbett is a member of the Mississippi Mudds Publicity Team.

Fifth Estate ranks Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital in top five EMC News - In the class of exceptional service and care, staff of the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital recently received a mark of distinction having been named the only mediumsized hospital in Canada to receive the grade of A+ by the Fifth Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rate My Hospital special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real thrill,â&#x20AC;? remarked Linda Bisonette, president and CEO of the hospital.

The special report was aired on CBC last Friday, April 12 where 10 hospitals from across the country were named for their exceptional care of patients based on five risk-adjusted indicators (as reported by the Canadian Institute for Health Information - CIHI) as well as an online survey that continues to be available to residents today at CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rate My Hospital website and CEO survey results.

The hospital received an A+ in the categories of mortality after major surgery, nursing-sensitivity to adverse events (medical patients), and in the area of readmission after medical treatment. It earned an A in nursing sensitivity to adverse events (surgical patients) and a B in readmission after surgery.

A rating of A+ means the data reported by the hospital showed its outcome was substantially better than a typical hospital of the same size, while a B means it is similar.

The Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) sent out a statement late last week on the special report, calling into question the methodology used. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were involved with the Fifth Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producers throughout the develop-

Subdivision questions brought to forefront From page P12

the experts,â&#x20AC;? Baker explained.

Baker also has plans to submit comments to the Subdivision Review Team for consideration when reviewing community concerns.

Tracy Zander, the Planning Consultant for the applicant, explained receiving peer review comments for a subdivision are part of the approval process and the MVC and RVC reports are nothing out of the ordinary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are currently reviewing the conservation authority comments with our project team and will be submitting a response to the comments/ questions raised by them in the near future, as is always required as part of the review process,â&#x20AC;? Zander wrote in an email to this newspaper.

Zander added itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet clear if there will be any impacts on the timeline or the project, as the information is still being considered.

Roger said she hopes the recommendations from the two reports will be followed through with prior to approval being issued for the development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone can make a recommendation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the approval authority to make sure the recommendations are followed through with,â&#x20AC;? Rodger stressed.

According to Lanark County Planning Administrator, Mary Kirkham, submissions from the public will be accepted at the County â&#x20AC;&#x153;up to and including the day in which the Subdivision Review Team (SRT) submits its report and recommendations to the County Community Development Committee (CDC)â&#x20AC;? but advised the earlier the better to allow the SRT time to review the submissions.

ment of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rate My Hospital,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and raised very serious methodological concerns about their basic approach to data collection, their heavy reliance on unverified, self-reported data, and their interpretation of the data. The Fifth Estate refused to acknowledge these concerns or, it appears, address them in their project. For that reason, we believe that the entire â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rate My Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project, and all of the hospital ratings, are fatally flawed, lack credibility, and should be ignored,â&#x20AC;? the release states.

The Record News attempted to reach the Fifth Estate for comment, but communication to the investigative team was not returned by deadline. However, the CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website notes their investigative team chose the five indicators because adding specialty services would have significantly reduced the rating for many hospitals. Other measures were eliminated if a majority of hospitals didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have data for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of the limited amount of data released by CIHI, our ratings do not take into account the inherent uncertainty in any individual measure of hospital performance. The methods hospitals use to keep track of data about quality of

care vary widely across Canada. Publicly reported data does not show whether or not a hospital has underreported or wrongly identified certain events,â&#x20AC;? the website states.

Bisonette understands that the OHA is concerned that the ratings may sway people from accessing care at their local hospital, but feels the results are still worth celebrating in Perth and Smiths Falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know there are many, many measures that are used to determine quality outcomes, but this was an apples to apples survey,â&#x20AC;? Bisonette said.

Dr. Peter Roney, chief of staff at the hospital further added in a press release: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hospitals are complex organizations and there are many, many measures which could be included in a study such as this, so we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop and rest on our success with this survey as it is critical to continuously review all aspects of our work in an effort to make every process, every interaction better than the one before.â&#x20AC;?

Consistently striving for improvement and living the values of care, respect and compassion on the part of every member of the hospital team is

what Bisonette attributes the positive rating to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work with our family, friends and neighbours and we care for our family, friends and neighbours,â&#x20AC;? Bisonette said.

The Fifth Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s April 12 airing resulted in immediate responses from members of the community and former staff from as far away as British Columbia who sent in congratulations to the hospital on its rating. Monday night Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples added his congratulations during the regular council meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very proud of that,â&#x20AC;? he stated.

The hospital plans to celebrate this most recent achievement as early as today (Thursday, April 18) with staff, volunteers, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This recognition is a tribute to the hard working staff, physicians and volunteers who support our hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year,â&#x20AC;? said Lynda Hendriks, chair of the hospital board.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first recognition the hospital has received for its performance.

Last year it received top performance

certification for patient satisfaction in acute care. It has also been in the 90th percentile for emergency care.

Online survey In addition to the analysis of existing hospital data, hospital CEOs were asked to complete a survey. Bisonette was one of 132 hospitals represented to do so. The final method of data collection is still available online. Patients are encouraged to log on to the CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rate My Hospital Site (available through a search engine) and cast their vote. Once logged on to the websiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home page, search for the hospital in the searchable database provided and select the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rate my hospital nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; button.

As of late Monday night roughly 150 people had gone on to rate the hospital for an overall score of four out of five stars.

The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital serves a total of 44,000 people in the region. Bisonette welcomes anyone to call her (613-283-2330 ext. 1110) with any questions or concerns regarding care or services.

This coming October the hospital will once again participate in an accreditation survey with results to follow.

Perth splash pad could become reality by summer

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – The Perth splash pad crew has smashed its $20,000 goal.

The citizens committee which is fundraising for its portion of the splash pad, slated for Conlon Farm, now has $21,418 in the bank, as of the Perth committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, April 9, with $5,000 in commitments coming.

With the receipt of this good news, town council gave the green light for Shellee Evans, director of community services, to put out a request for proposals for the new splash pad.

Drummond/North Elmsley Township has agreed to kick in $25,000, and Perth Mayor John Fenik has promised a return trip to Tay Valley Township’s council to see if they will sign on to the project.

Evans said that, if all of the stars align for the project, the splash pad could be ready for operation by this summer.

Wings receive letter of intent to purchase

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC Sports – The Perth Blue Wings Jr. B hockey club has received a letter of intent to buy the team.

“The letter was delivered by one person, but that doesn’t mean that there is one person behind it (the offer),” said Christine Lyon, president of the Blue Wings association. She said this after the team’s annual awards ceremony at the Perth Civitan Club hall on Saturday, April 13.

“We want to look at it very soon because we want to get moving on next year. We did have not yet looked at it formally.”

Lyon noted that these types of rumours usually surface at the end of every season, and have been happening to the Blue Wings for the last five years, but this year, there is some truth behind the rumour.

“Our main priority is to make sure that there is a long-term future for the team, one way or the other,” said Lyon. “It’s our main priority… We have to be

realistic about what the future holds.”

She added that there are only three community-owned teams in their junior B league of 22.

Earlier in the evening, Lyon addressed the concerns that players, parents, and fans have expressed to her.

“There has been a lot of concern about the future of the team,” said Lyon. “Everybody has a lot of concerns. At no time have we put the team up for sale…

(But) we remain committed to the future of the team.

EMC Sports – David Thompson, a former competitive figure skater now living and working in Perth, presents two local figure skaters with plaques to commemorate their good sportsmanship, dedication and love of the sport. The girls, Bailee Clyne, 12 (left) and Emily Pike, 14, both skate at the Perth Figure Skating Club and have done so since they were four years of age. They both say they were thrilled to be recognized for this award. Thompson says he presents two skaters with these awards on an annual basis because he likes to recognize those who have a genuine love of the sport, and conduct themselves well both on and off the ice.

Perth to Motor City: local netminder signs with Detroit Red Wings

By CAITIE McRAE

EMC Sports - It’s usually just a dream.

A dream that fleets in and out of parents’ minds as their child takes his first wobbly steps on skates, ankles buckling, arms flailing for balance.

A dream that one day, maybe, in a “who knows, anything is possible” kind of world, that nervous little skater will grow into an NHL superstar.

For Perth residents Jeff and Sharon Coreau, that dream may soon become a reality. Their son Jared, a 21 yearold netminder for Northern Michigan University, has signed a free agent contract with the storied Detroit Red Wings. Needless to say, they’re proud of their son, not just for the achievement but for the effort it took to get there.

“Hockey players aren’t born, they’re made,” said Jeff. “Jared has worked incredibly hard this past year.”

The Wildcats goalie put up a respectable 2.70 goals against average and a .919 save percentage on a team that sputtered to a 10th place finish in the CCHA this year.

Coreau made the league’s most saves this past season, with 1,100. The second most saves made? Not even 900.

Coreau definitely stands out, not just for his boast-worthy stats and unique frame at 6-foot-6, but for his sensibilities.“I

needed to think ahead, you always have to be planning for the future,” Coreau explained.

He’s referring to choosing to take the college route, after stints with the Peterborough and Lincoln Stars, a decision that is becoming increasingly popular among young hockey players.

After receiving a scholarship to

Northern Michigan’s hockey program, Coreau decided to major in kinetics.

“I was always a good student, and really liked science,” Coreau said. “But there were classes on Fridays, and I had hockey on those days as well, so I had to take care of hockey first,” he added.

After switching to accounting, the now third-year student’s scholarship has been dissolved since turning pro, but Coreau is adamant that he’ll achieve his degree one day. “I plan on taking distance courses online and doing some summer classes too,” he said. He also adds another reason as to why the NCAA route was favourable for him.

“I just wasn’t ready for major junior hockey. In that option, you’re done at 20, but in college I got to play an extra two years,” the former Perth Blue Wings goalie said.

Jeff added that because Coreau favoured the college route, he was playing against older, more experienced players,

the young netminder: The Winnipeg Jets and the Detroit Red Wings.

Former Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood, a scout for the team and goaltending development coach, began appearing in the stands at Wildcats games, along with general manager Ken Holland and assistant general manager Jim Nill.

It was a toss-up, as Coreau’s agent Jerry Buckley informed him that both teams were impressed with his performance. But it was a formidable mix of heritage and greatness that convinced Coreau he’d like to call Joe Louis Arena home one day. “It just came down to history and culture,” Coreau said. “The Red Wings are an original six team, so the atmosphere there is rich.”

He also mentioned Jets personnel explained they were looking for young, proficient players to grow their franchise, something Coreau was hesitant about.

which would be good practice if he makes it to the NHL. “He was playing against men, not kids,” Jeff said.

“If you develop faster, take the major junior route but if not, choose the NCAA,” Coreau said.

His decision clearly served him well.After enrolling at NMU in the fall of 2010, interest in Coreau began percolating. Scouts for several NHL teams began cropping up at Coreau’s games, determined to see what the hulking butterfly goalie could bring to the table. The Calgary Flames were interested in signing Coreau to their AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Heat, but Coreau didn’t feel ready, despite scoring high at development camps for both the Flames and Edmonton Oilers.

With interest from the San Jose Sharks, New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks, just to name a few, Coreau’s own interest boiled down to two beloved hockey franchises that had their eye on

in Traverse City, MI in early September before moving into the Van Andel Arena to begin his AHL career.

He’ll be splitting netminding duties with Petr Mrázek, a Czech native and former goalie for the OHL’s Ottawa 67’s.

It’s all a long way from his days as a rosy-cheeked youngster attending Ottawa Senators games with his family. But the irony isn’t lost on him. In fact, those games set him on his path to the NHL. “The first NHL game I saw was between the Sens and the Buffalo Sabres,” Coreau recalled. “Those were the days of Damian Rhodes and Dominik Hasek. I sat right behind the net and after that, I didn’t want to play anything else.”

Coreau was seven years old.

His parents, who had been trying to get their boy into hockey skates since the age of three, were delighted… and a little apprehensive.

“Goalie equipment’s expensive,” Coreau said with a laugh.

in honour of his hockey hero growing up, retired NHL goaltender Curtis Joseph.

“I idolized CuJo. I had to have blue pads, blue everything just like him,” Coreau said of his days worshipping the former Toronto Maple Leaf. “Luckily, I played minor hockey in Perth, so our team colours were blue anyways.”

His superstitions, a common, quirky characteristic of goalies, will not be letting up either. He’s long abided by two-hour naps on game day with two chicken breasts and a baked potato for dinner. But unfortunately he won’t get to tote Wildcats forward Reed Seckel along with him to the Griffins to complete his other game-day tradition.

“I’d always sit in the middle of the stands before getting ready. Reed would do his running routine around the perimeter of the stands and when he’d finish, he’d yell something at me. I’d wave back,” Coreau explained.

“One time, we didn’t do that routine, There are a few other aspects from his and we got crushed in the game. It’s all childhood that Coreau will be bringing mental,” Coreau laughed. with him to Grand Rapids. He’s hoping to With training camp in just a few short

work to do. “I need to work on remaining calm under pressure. Sometimes I’ll make a big, complicated save and the crowd loves it but afterwards I’ll think ‘OK, I could have made that a whole lot easier,’” Coreau said.

Still, he’s confident in his puck-saving abilities, something he attributes in part to his tremendous focus but also his stature.

Coreau has adopted the butterfly style of play, an unusual choice for someone of his height. On his knees, his shoulders still reach the crossbar.

Naturally, he’s hoping to make his NHL debut this coming season as a call-up for a couple of games, something Mrázek

Jeff, referring to Coreau as an “apprentice with the NHL”, said that now is crunch time. “It only gets harder from here,” Coreau’s father said.

But he’s assured in his belief that his son will maintain the focus and drive that so many prospects lose when making the big leagues. “Jared’s a really good kid, he won’t let things get to his head.”

Recalling the days of early morning practices and out of town tournaments, all fueled by frequent coffee runs and a passion for the game, Jeff attributes love, and a parent’s intuition, to his belief in his son. “You see something in your kid and you know. You just know.”

“I understood what they were saying but I wasn’t looking to be on a team that wanted to grow their players. The Red Wings are already there, they’re already great,” he said.

He found out in mid-March that the Red Wings wanted to sign him; the deal was finalized just a couple of weeks ago.

But Coreau is far from having his head up in the clouds, becoming too big for his britches.

“The best advice I got was from my (Wildcats) head coach, Walt (Kyle),” said Coreau. “He said ‘Jared, you’ve got to invest your money from your first contract like you’re going broke,’” he recalled.

“Walt’s always full of wisdom.”

With level-headed advice like that, Coreau is sure to stay grounded when he starts between the pipes for the Grand Rapids Griffins, the Red Wings’ AHL affiliate, this fall.

For now, he’s hunkering down in Detroit hotels, waiting out the Red Wings season, before returning home to Perth for a long-awaited visit with friends and family. After that, he’ll compete in

Perth Kilt Run boss shows solidarity with Boston Marathon victims

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Terry Stewart wore his 2007 Boston Marathon jacket with pride on Tuesday morning, a statement against whatever hatred drove the twin bombs that went off at the finish line of the race the afternoon before.

His boss at OMYA was also wearing his marathon jacket in solidarity with the people of Boston.

Speaking in the parking lot of the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, Stewart, the race director for Perth’s annual Kilt Run, said that his thoughts were with his fellow runners and their fans and victims of the terror plot.

“I couldn’t stop listening,” he said. “I had the radio on all night, listening to the Boston station.”

EMC Events – If you enjoy ham, scalloped potatoes and baked maple beans, then have lunch or dinner at the Perth Civitan Club on Sunday, April 28 and help support a young speedskater.

This is a fundraising dinner for Myles Matheson, a local man now living in Calgary who is vying for a spot at the next winter Olympics.

Seatings are at 12:30 and 5:30 p.m.

His father, John, has been busy selling tickets with hopes that the event will be a sellout.

STEPPIN-OUT” – Best of Irving Berlin Photo by DESMOND DEVOY

Terry Stewart, race director for the Perth Kilt Run, proudly wore his 2007 Boston Marathon jacket on Tuesday morning in solidarity with the people of Boston after the bomb attacks on Monday. Here, he walks into the parking lot of the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital with chief administrative officer Linda Bisonette after an equipment presentation. art. “We couldn’t do that now.”

Stewart recalled how seeing the finishing line and then crossing it is such an emotional moment for any runner, something that, for participants of the 2013 race, is now forever marred by tragedy.

“When you train for it and qualify for it, it becomes a big imprint on you,” said Stewart. “You share the experience with so many people.”

He remembers seeing the finishing area back in 2007, but now, with the shattered glass, and blood on the sidewalk, it is a far cry from the happy place it was for him and his family those six years ago.

Reaching out One of the first people he reached out to online on Tuesday morning was the “Athens Street Gang” of runners, which had at least seven members in Massachusetts participating in the race.

“They’d gone down to help out,” Stewart said. He was relieved to hear that their group had crossed the finish line at three hours and 52 minutes into the race, while the first bomb went off at four hours and nine minutes into the race.

“Thank God they didn’t go back to watch the race,” said Stewart.

Stewart said he was not aware of any Perth area runners who were taking part in this year’s event.

Stewart, his wife, two daughters and his sister ventured down to Boston back in 2007 when he ran the historic race into the heart of one of America’s oldest cities.

Farmers from across region gather to protest release of GM alfalfa

By JENNIFER McINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC News – The release of genetically-modified alfalfa could be the last straw for a dwindling bee population, said bee keeper Susan Hamilton.

Hamilton, along with four dozen farmers from across Ottawa and the valley came out to protest the potential release of the herbicide tolerant alfalfa at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency headquarters in Nepean on April 9.

“We have had bees since 1973 and the population is dwindling already,” Hamilton said. “This will eventually kill them off.”

Hamilton added that pollinating the alfalfa genetically modified to include the herbicide Roundup could hurt and eventually kill bees.

Forage Genetics International has applied Monsanto’s Roundup Ready technology to alfalfa and Canada already approved it for health and environmental release in 2005. Variety registration with the agency is the last step before it can become commercially available. Demonstrators with the National Farmers Union and the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) hoped to halt the process by letting the powers that be know how they and consumers feel.

Alfalfa is a high-protein feed for dairy cows, beef cattle, lambs, poultry and pigs, but because labelling for genetically modified crops is not mandatory in Canada, it’s unlikely consumers will know they are eating altered crops.

Lucy Sharratt, a co-ordinator with the action network, said 38 communities across the country organized demonstrations in a four-week period.

“Seventeen communities in eastern Ontario were holding demonstrations today,” she said, adding

Paul Slomp, a cattle farmer, who sells grain-fed, or- outside the Canadian Food Inspection Agency offices ganic, non-certified beef to 250 customers in the Ot- in Nepean on April 9 to halt the release of genetically tawa area, protests with his six-month-old son Felix modified alfalfa. eastern Canada is where the genetically-modified alfalfa would be rolled out first.

Lauretta Rice, whose son runs a dairy farm in Douglas, ON, went to the protest because she said the introduction of the Monsanto technology would kill off the more than 200 varieties of the plant that her

son produces locally.

Alfalfa is a perennial plant that is pollinated. The introduction of a genetically-modified strain will cross-pollinate with organic forms and threaten the livelihood of local farmers, she said.

The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association released a report

the potential impact of Roundup Ready alfalfa on Canada’s forage industry in June 2012.

“The introduction of RRA, and subsequent GE (genetically-engineered) alfalfa traits, into Canada could have a negative impact on certain export seed, forage, honey and the entire organic industry,” the re-

port reads. “RRA would give forage producers a new and effective weed control system. Successful introduction would also encourage biotechnology companies to continue developing other GE alfalfa traits adapted to the Canadian market.”

But the Grain Growers of Canada, an association that represents 50,000 farmer members, issued a press release the same day of the protest, saying they support technologies that enable Canadians to farm sustainably.

We support Canada’s robust science-based regulatory environment which ensures any new crops or traits are proven safe for human consumption, animal feed and our environment,” Stephen Vandervalk, president of the Grain Growers of Canada said in the release.

“While we appreciate that many long-time opponents of progress have concerns, the reality is they have a lot of rhetoric, but no facts to back up their case.”

But Sharrat said someone in the government needs to take responsibility.

“Our government doesn’t even consider the potential economic costs before it allows GM (genetically modified) crops like this onto the market,” she said. “Farmers are left to bear the costs of GM contamination, which in the case of alfalfa would be borne by many types of family farmer across Canada.”

Paul Slomp, a resident of Manotick Station who sells grass-fed, organic, non-certified beef to more than 200 clients in the Ottawa area, said the introduction of the modified plant doesn’t make sense.

“Farmers don’t want it and I know my consumers don’t want it,” he said. “We have to ask ourselves who is making the decisions around what kind of food we eat, why on earth is this being legitimized and being commercialized in Canada?”

EMC Entertainment – A food fight in a funeral home? Sure, why not? After all, anything can happen in the entertaining black comedy ‘$38,000 for a Friendly Face’, opening this week at Perth’s Studio Theatre!

Having been tantalized by this warm, off-beat play on first reading, Director Roberta Peets is happy to have found seven talented area actors who are eager to bring it to life.

The play, ‘$38,000 for a Friendly Face’ is the story of the funeral (or, “not-funeral”, as it comes to be known) of a small-town woman who was not well-liked or even much known in the community.

The deceased’s estranged daughters, Jane and Annie (played by Gina Tremaine and Jacqueline Ramsey) are reluctantly drawn together, and face some touching memories and realizations about their mother and each other.

Grey Masson portrays the novice funeral home director, Matt Watson, whose kind intentions more than amply make up for his endearing inexperience.

Together for the first time on stage are Perth mother-and-daughter team Susan and Nicole Bamber (with husband/father Jim Bamber making a cameo appearance as well).

Nicole plays Alison, the young florist who bungles the flower delivery, but stays and ultimately makes the Celebration of Life a big success. Susan, as Esther, along with Joanna McAuley as Marge and Janet Rice as Phyl, make up the Last Supper Committee, who volunteer to prepare refreshments for the ceremony.

These three women are friends who see each other as they really are, warts and all, and truly care about their friendship.

They face frustrations with each other and the confines of their space as they cater the reception.

In the end, it is the stories the characters tell that give their lives meaning – even if the facts get a bit mixed up.

North Bay playwright Kristin Shepherd’s black comedy (or at least charcoal grey!) won the Samuel French Canadian Playwriting Contest in 2007.

It is full of comical situations and funny lines, but it is the relationships built on caring and honesty that bring meaning to the play.

As a special attraction, Studio Theatre Perth is delighted to announce that the playwright, Kristin Shepherd, will be joining us for the show on April 27 and will stay for a post-performance chat with the audience.

Payton and Pacey We were four tabby cats that were found in Arnprior and arrived at LAWS in a box. It’s obvious that we’re siblings, three boys and one girl. We’re about two-months-old and have a full life in front of us, which we are determined to enjoy. We love to play with all the staff, visitors and the toys they give us.

They are larger, black tabby cats, quiet in nature, but both really enjoy being held, petted and would like a quiet environment.

Chazz and Chester are brothers of about nine years of age – they have many more years ahead of them and would like to find their together forever home. You will fall in love immediately when you look into their

In the mood to get back to the live blues EMC Lifestyle – I love most music but lately have been tending to listen to singer/songwriter/genres most available live, which is the way I like to listen, whenever possible.

Recently, I was able to get back to some live blues on a couple of occasions and it reaffirmed my continuing love for all it has to offer. I don’t think you can catch on to the blues. Rather, I believe the blues catches you. It sneaks up on you, slippin’ secretly into your guts with all its diversely infecting moods, its primal beat that has you tappin’ your feet and groovin’ before you even know it.

Recently I attended the Blues in the Schools fundraiser – held at the infamous Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield QC, where a myriad of blues artists were spending two weeks in local Ottawa schools, passing on various pieces of history of the blues and mentoring the students to give their new skills a try.

Blues in the Schools is “an educational program that was created to promote, preserve, and perpetuate the art, culture, and heritage of blues music and to examine the musical influence on other genres”. They had just completed their first week and each musician spoke glowingly of their previous week, the interest shown and desires to try creating by their young students.

Acoustic blues great Rick Fines was one of the teachers and a few years ago stayed with us for a week while providing this same type program at Stewart School in Perth. Every day he came home with wonderful stories of the kids enthusiasm, insight and desires to perform. We were honoured to attend a

concert of the music the kids had written at the end. Ottawa’s Maria Hawkins spoke of the historical connectedness of blues, the “Underground Railway” and black history. Sharon Riley, a noted Toronto gospel singer shared her powerful vocals, singing gospel songs also used to communicate in a secretive way from one field of slaves to another in coded verse.

JW Jones played some great electric blues and later told me a cute story of recently playing at Buddy Guy’s Legends club in Chicago where he was told Buddy usually appeared at some point so he hoped to meet him. While JW was brushing his teeth in a backstage washroom before the show, who walks in welcoming him but Buddy, witnessing JW dripping and foaming at the mouth, unable to speak, his mouth full of toothpaste. As he said, not the way he’d intended to meet his hero.

Amanda Rheaume, Drew Nelson, Terry Gillespie, Brothers Chaffey, TJ Wheeler, River City Junction and Ana Muira all shared taking their turn to offer their take on the blues to a full house taking it all in. Wendy Moore and Arthur McGregor of the Celtic Rathscallions shared their folksy take to everyone’s delight. It was a wonderful afternoon reminding me through its diversity and history why the blues speaks to me and so many others.

You can’t get too much of a good thing so a few days later I visited the Mississippi Blues Society Jam at the Thirsty Moose in Carleton Place, held the first Tuesday of each month. I was reminded I hadn’t been for a while by

coordinator/singer/guitarist/emcee Barry Buse upon my arrival but I will be back again real soon! It was one of the best electric blues evenings I’ve enjoyed in a long time. I was surprised not to see Peter Brown on keys, his usual haunt, but this night was twenty-something Peter Rioux of Fredericton, New Brunswick tearing up a wicked Hammond.

Bill Serson provided solid drumming while Mike Lush added some sweet bass licks. Barry Buse’s tasty guitar was ably joined on guitar by craftily coiffed Brent Buck Tingley who also shared some of the vocal duties. Together they tore through some great oldies I hadn’t heard for quite awhile, a nice change from the usual blues cover songs heard way too often. In the first set they were joined

by Marco (Wolfy) Rochon on harp, who pushed them through more great tunes.

As I looked around the capacity-filled room I saw proof of my earlier statement of the blues finding you. Many of the audience were “in the zone”, with eyes closed, feet tapping and sometimes mouthing the words or just body bopping, oblivious to those around them.

The blues had them and was having its way with them. Though a predominantly ‘40s plus crowd, it was nice to see some young ones taking it all in. The second

set saw seven more drummers take turns including Gary Sanford, Doug Cornell, Tom Kemp, Rick Picard, Michaela Koster, Andy Simpson and Jason Koster all getting a chance to beat the skins which gave the phrase “beat it” a whole different meaning in Carleton Place. I really appreciated Barry skillfully putting the nix on an obviously “over partied” patron trying to grab a mike to join in. Too often on open mic’s I’ve seen alcohol fuelled attempts at musical offerings destroy an otherwise magical evening and I commend Mr. Buse for his control of the situation.

Now regular readers know how much I love the added touch of organ to most tunes so I was already completely satisfied, thanks to Peter Rioux’s contributions laying back behind the other players or stepping up with some smokey leads. But to satisfy my heightened desires, Mark Bailey on trumpet and Brad Sommerfield on sax stepped up and added the final touch to bring the combined sound to a new high. What a wonderful evening of great electric blues. See you there soon.

On a completely different ‘note’, so to speak, St Paul’s United Church and St. James Anglican Choirs, along with friends are performing ‘Missa Gaia’ on Sunday April 21 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s. The choirs has been practicing for months, getting more and more excited, encouraging me to attend this truly unique venture.

Written by Paul Winter and collaborators, this Mass is described as “beautiful, moving and completely unusual! It is a unique celebration of the Earth – not

just by human voices and musical instruments but also with the voices of our animal brother and sisters”. The power and energy of combined mass choir vocal is captivating. I commend musical director Brad Mills and all those involved for their dedication to learning and performing this work and look forward to attending.

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

May 4: Kitchen Party at the Studio Theatre hosted by Smokey Rose (Darlene Thibault, Ed Ashton and Lee Hodgkinson). They are crowd favourites throughout the valley and western Quebec and are bringing with them Almonte’s Brad Scott to offer his picking skills, young Henry Norwood of Perth who has been wowing them around the valley and made the final 4 in the CBC Searchlight Competition (way to go, Henry!), along with veterans Harry Adrain, Judi Moffatt and Barry Munroe to sing a few of their favourites. Tickets are available at Tickets Please and at the door. The show starts at 8 p.m.

Bruce Williamson from Perth enjoyed skiing behind a 1951 Hudson Anyone who has ever learned to drive a standard recalls the thrills and chills of mechanical confusion. Too much clutch and not enough throttle would lead to convulsive lurches down the road accompanied by convulsive laughter from the passengers.

“My friend’s 1951 Hudson was way cool. At over six feet, I could lie down flat in the back seat. On icy roads, we could hook under the bumper and ski behind the car. Friends called our driveway ‘the airstrip’ because of the number of vehicles you could park in it. They often commented, when driving by, all they’d see were my legs sticking out.

“Pop’s first new car was a 1966 Chrysler 300 with a 383 V-8. What a motor! Sherman tank, I called it. With six fillies and two colts learning to drive on her, it covered the distance from here to the moon. I asked Dad why he didn’t get power windows. He said: ‘For a hundred bucks, you can crank.’ No ‘air’ either.”

I’m always looking for more stories.

Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

EMC Lifestyle – Bruce Williamson of Perth, Ontario, writes: “Hi Bill, I can imagine the write-ups you get from people recalling their foibles of youth, lessons learned, and behaviour overseen by the grace of God. Here are some of my memories.

“Before I could drive, my sister married, then purchased a used Corvair (built by GM with an air-cooled rearmounted engine from 1960 to ’69). Her car had no reverse, the driver’s door didn’t open, and no defroster (they used defroster in a can), and the battery was often flat. We thought a good driver should learn the dynamics of a vehicle in snow by practising in a vacant lot.

We wedged the front right quarter right into a snow bank. Maybe Ralph Nader was right. And did I mention it kept blowing fan belts?

“Our ‘64ish Valiant with a slant six under the hood was interesting.

Mom sent me out in a blizzard to collect Granny. ‘But Mom, I don’t have a license.’ ‘That’s OK, you’re a good driver.’ Walking home from school, my sister with a load of friends stopped to pick me up. I slipped into the cockpit and began driving. The road ended at a ‘T’ intersection to a service road. The other side of the fence was the QEW. No brakes! I pushed the pushbutton into low and I believe went around the corner on two wheels, gripped in fear while the passengers were laughing, then first gear kicked in.

“Grandpa’s 1965 Rambler American Classic (built in my hometown of Brampton) had ‘three on the tree.’

Thank you.

Mike Nelson Mike makes some excellent points and while Transport Canada has no proposals to change vehicle lamp regulations on the horizon, we can all easily do our part to make our roads safer by simply turning on our headlamps any time we hit the roads, day or night, sunshine or rain.

Most of us have had our share of this seemingly unending winter and thankfully there’s some sunshine on the horizon thanks to the seasonal return of classic and modified vehicle show and shines. Perth kicks off the season with the 37th annual Festival of the Maples Car Show on Saturday, April 27. Participants can enter via Wilson Street from 8 a.m. until late morning. Dash plaques are available to the first 50 vehicles. Check with the Chamber of Commerce at 613-267-3200 or under ‘Festivals’ at www.perthchamber.com. For further information on the Car Show, contact Mike Alberty at mikealberty@ ripnet.com or 613-267-7784 or Bill Fossey at 613-812-8780.

And on April 27 and 28 the Ottawa Classic & Custom Car Show rolls into the Ernst & Young Centre (CE Centre) at 4899 Uplands Drive near the Airport. Detailed information and registration forms are on the website at www.ottawaclassiccustomecarshow.ca. General admission is $12 or $8 for youth, and children six and under get in for free. There will be not one, but two licensed Warner Bros. Batmobiles (1966 TV series and 1989 movie version).

they have lights on all the time as soon as you turn the key. It is just a simple design thing to make it possible for a car to do the exact same thing.

To those who say it is not needed I would like to point out that there are so many vehicles that are made with all the dash instruments and interior lights on all the time and they do not turn on their ‘running’ lights (e.g. the rear and side marker lights so the car is invisible on city streets at night).

The driver/owner can see all their dash instruments and the headlights so they may not think about turning ‘on’ the rest of the lights! I have seen this so often it does not make me angry anymore it makes me want to write to you to do something about it. As most vehicles made now are having their incandescent lights replaced with LED lights the arguments that it will drain the battery or strain the alternator or lead to excessive fuel consumption just don’t apply.

You said in your article that tail lamps are dimmer than headlamps and they should be. However I beg to differ with anyone who says they cannot be seen during the day in bright sun. Have a look at some of the LED tail lights out there.

I am thankful every time there is fog or a daytime rain storm that I drive with my lights on all the time and that my truck (Mazda B2300) has rear and side LED lights that are so bright you can see me in the fog/storm.

A final comment on the topic of rear daytime running lights; I think that what we should call them is not ‘day time running lights’ but just ‘vehicle lights’ that are used if the vehicle is turned on.

All of the reasons above make sense and they are all real situations out there now. I am hoping you agree and will, if you can, and if you have any input into the issue, that you will put in a comment into the design and or implementation of always

EMC Lifestyle - “Hi Brian, I am just taking my toy (2004 Mazda Turbo) out of winter storage and I saved your tips for taking the emission test in a recent column. I am wondering if you have any changes to your readiness preparation for my car due to the turbo and fuel preservative.”

Thanks, Wayne Jones Orleans As the new style of Ontario emissions testing doesn’t require any tailpipe sampling, any fuel stabilizer you may have in the tank, shouldn’t affect the results. But if you’ve had the battery on the Mazda disconnected, all of the on-board computer monitors will have reset to default, so the vehicle will need some driving to reset them in order to pass the readiness portion of the test. A few days of normal driving is usually enough to get the engine’s computer ready for the test.

Make sure your daily runs get the engine up to full operating temperature and involve a mix of highway speeds and slower stop-and-start operation.

If a check engine light come on, get it diagnosed and repaired but be aware this will put your vehicle back to square one, so you’ll need to complete the preparations all over again.

The fact that your Mazda has a turbo shouldn’t affect the test. If your vehicle fails the readiness portion, you can come back another day for a retest and if it fails again, you can get a conditional pass without having to have a tailpipe sampling done but you will be charged $35 for the first test and $17.50 for the second. (The Ontario Ministry of the Environment reports that readiness failure rates are still around the 6.5 per cent mark.)

“Hello Brian, I read your column with great interest as a friend and I have had an ongoing talk about this idea of having daytime running lights on all vehicles as a standard for Canada.

Madden Hearing Centre gives over $10,000 to charities

Raising money When a client made the decision to purchase a new hearing aid, we discussed the charity campaign with them. They were given the privilege of choosing, from our lists, the organization or group that they wanted our donation to go toward. It was a team effort.

It was exciting to make contact with each of the potential organizations and to let them know that we were hoping to have donations for them at the end of our campaign. But the real thrill was in watching the amount of money grow and then finally making the calls to each group to let them know the outcome.

As we went about our everyday jobs for those three months, looking after our clients, evaluating their hearing, selecting the best hearing aids with them, fitting them with their new hearing aids and helping to improve their hearing, the donation amounts grew.

At the end of our three-month campaign, the totals were calculated, a date was set and we invited each organization to visit our clinics for a cheque presentation.

This gave us even more of a positive experience because it allowed us to meet staff and volunteers from these amazing groups and to discuss their work and future plans. This was a very rewarding event for all of us. We now have contacts within these groups and have formed relationships that we hope to be able to build upon.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next Who knows what next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity campaign could provide?

The staff at Madden Hearing Centre in Brockville, Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place and Kemptville would like to thank our clients for their support during our first charity campaign. We are so pleased to be able to contribute to our community and to our neighbours because of their help.

Madden Hearing is very pleased to provide donations to the following organizations and we know that each group will make use of the donations to continue their amazing work in the communities in which we live, raise our families and work.

Benefiting charities The charities benefiting this year are: Beth Donovan Hospice; Kemptville District Hospital Foundation; Kemptville Salvation Army; Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital Foundation; Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor Foundation; Lanark County Interval House; Smiths Falls Lions Club; Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County; Smiths Falls and Area Food Bank; Smiths Falls Salvation Army; Gerry Lowe Memorial Fund; Lanark Animal Welfare Society; Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation; Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation; The Table; Community Home Support â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Meals on Wheels; Perth Salvation Army; Brockville YMCA/YWCA; Operation Harvest Sharing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brockville and Area Food Bank; Leeds and Grenville Interval House; Brockville Salvation Army; OSPCA of Leeds and Grenville; Brockville Lions Club; Brockville General Hospital Foundation; Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care; and Meals on Wheels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Community & Primary Health Care.

The entire campaign raised more than $10,000 for local charities in Carleton Place, Almonte, Smiths Falls, Perth, Brockville and Kemptville.

EMC Business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Being a fairly small business, Madden Hearing Centre is thrilled with the outcome of our very first charity campaign.

What began as an idea and a conversation in the office one day has resulted in over $10,000 raised for 26 local charities. When the conversation began, the idea that we could contribute and give back to our communities was an exciting one. We asked ourselves, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this idea grow into something big?

Madden Hearing Centre has a great staff that all have strong ties to the towns in which we provide services, we have clients that would love the idea of our donations and we all know of worthy groups and organizations that would benefit from the donation of funds.â&#x20AC;?

Once we agreed on the technicalities our entire staff worked on creating the charity lists for each Madden Hearing location. We wanted a variety of organizations to benefit from this campaign.

The plan took shape and the decision that Madden Hearing Centre would donate $50 from the sale of every hearing aid for three months was put into action.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON

Andrew joins his father Paul at Smiths Falls law firm

R0012043034_0418

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com EMC Business – The Smiths Falls law firm Howard, Ryan, Kelford, Knott and Dixon has welcomed a new associate to the fold.

Andrew Howard, son of senior partner Paul Howard, has come home to Smiths Falls to raise his family. He and his wife Jeanne are expecting their first child in September.

“My wife and I made a conscious decision to come back to Smiths Falls,” he said. “We looked at the quality of life that is available in a small town and weighed the pros and cons of living in the city and living in a small town and this is the ideal place.”

Paul said he’s thrilled to have his son working alongside him in a firm where he has been in business since 1976. The “Dixon” part of the firm has been in existence in town since 1961.

“I’m thrilled. As a parent, what more could you ask for than to keep the kids around? It’s nice to have young professionals come back to town. In a grander sense, it’s good for all of us. The younger people are coming back, not just as lawyers, but hopefully as doctors and all other types of professionals,” Paul said.

Andrew came on board in January after articling (apprenticing) with the firm since last January.

He was previously the head coach of McGill University’s rowing program as well as for the Montreal rowing club. He

alsob served as a vcolunteer assistant coach After graduation he completed his Canadian for the Quebec provincial rowing team equivalency exams in Toronto and then began his articles (apprentiship) with the team. firm.

Paul said living and working in a small Andrew graduated in 2011 from the University of Leicester School of Law, town was a conscious decision – one that he which is located north of London, England. doesn’t regret.

“We made the decision to go small town as well. Both of us had jobs in Toronto. I especially didn’t want to do the Toronto thing. I wanted to do a small town practice.

I’ve had no regrets. The town has been very good to us.”

THE FIRM

The Smiths Falls firm has six lawyers and 14 employees. The lawyers include Paul Howard, Shane Kelford, Teresa DuBois, Dawn Dixon, Richard Knott and now Andrew Howard. The firm also has a satellite office in Carleton Place.

Their work is mostly in Lanark County and surrounding areas. It’s a general practice firm that does litigation and a lot of corporate work.

“We’re a busy small-town practice,” said Paul.

Now that his son is on board, he added that he wouldn’t mind cutting back a bit.

“But I really like what I do.”

Paul added that he can’t emphasize enough about supporting local businesses.

“I think it’s good for us and good for the town that Andrew is here,” he said. “You can’t emphasize enough how important it is for our young people to come back or stay in whatever walk of life (they’re) in.”

Labour board rules ETFO counselling to boycott extracurriculars was illegal strike action Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO).

Specifically the 76 page decision states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the withdrawal of voluntary coinstructional or extracurricular activities constitutes a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;strikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; within the meaning in the Education Act.â&#x20AC;?

Put down the phone and leave it alone, says OPP EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is hosting its Distracted Driving Campaign this week (April 15 to 22) and they are looking to the public to help make it a historic success.

To help kick off the campaign, the OPP asked drivers across Ontario to take a hard line on distracted driving once and for all by making April 15 the first day of a lifelong commitment to keep all hand-held devices out of reach and out of use while behind the wheel.

Those who use handheld phones while driving also put the lives of their passengers at risk and the OPP is asking passengers to take matters into their own hands by telling those who drive them while distracted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;put down the phone and leave it alone.â&#x20AC;?

The OPP is issuing an important reminder that, while texting is among the most dangerous activities to carry out while driving, distracted driving refers to all forms of distracted or inattentive driving, such as talking on the phone, eating and drinking, personal grooming and tending to children in the backseat.

During the campaign, officers will be targeting these and any other forms of distraction they observe as impairing a motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving ability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drivers need to remember that the real danger to the motoring public lies in the distraction, not the device,â&#x20AC;? said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2012, 83 people were killed in motor vehicle collisions within OPP jurisdiction in which distracted driving was a causal factor and that surpassed our impaired

driving fatalities in 2012,â&#x20AC;? added Bell.

According to the OPP, officers laid close to 16,000 distracted driving charges across the province last year (2012).

They continue to see careless drivers texting and talking on their phones and engaging in other forms of distraction every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the OPP is firmly committed to enforcing distracted driving laws during the campaign and throughout the year, drivers themselves can end these needless deaths by recognizing how they contribute to risks on our roads. Motorists need to realize that they may need to change their own driving behaviour to improve road safety for everyone,â&#x20AC;? said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support.

The OPP is asking Ontarians to share their stories on Facebook about the dangerous driver behaviour or near-misses they have observed from motorists driving distracted.

By doing so, you can help drivers think about their own driving habits and how they are contributing to dangerous behaviour.

Go to: https:// w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / ontarioprovincialpolice for more information.

Distracted driving is one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big 4â&#x20AC;? high risk driving behaviours which leads to serious or fatal motor vehicle collisions on provincial roadways.

The OPP Provincial Traffic Safety Program incorporates high police visibility, measurable outcomes, professional traffic stops and public education in their ongoing efforts to save lives on Ontario roads, trails and waterways.

The two rural school boards filed a complaint with the OLRB in January.

Both school boards were troubled by the increasingly hostile pressure placed on elementary teachers by representatives of ETFO to continue to withdraw ser-

vices and their participation in a number of activities. The application focused on how recent actions by ETFO interfered with the normal activities of a school board, its schools, and school programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This decision brings clarity for

teachers and principals that if we have a collective agreement, whether we like it or not, teachers are permitted to freely choose to do cocurricular or extracurricular activities...â&#x20AC;? stated David Thomas, UCDSB director of education.

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK

APRIL 21 - 27, 2013 Volunteering by Horoscope Sign Find rewarding volunteer work for every horoscope sign Simply put, it feels good to help. Whether you choose to provide relief for people who are suffering or ďŹ nd volunteer work in your own local community, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no faster connection to Karma than volunteering -and no better way to start the new year.

Consider your astrological traits to help ďŹ gure out what volunteer activities would be most fulďŹ lling for you, from cuddling kitties at the Humane Society to designing a website for a non-proďŹ t organization.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you can best help right now: Aries (March 21 to April 19) Because you never sit still for long, Aries, an active form of volunteering would suit you best. You could swing a hammer for an organization like Habitat for Humanity, which helps low-income folks build their own homes, or teach survival skills to at-risk youth in a wilderness setting.

Recreational activities for a camp or church group would also be right up your alleyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from leading exercise classes to playing games with kids.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20) You greatly appreciate art and culture, Taurus, and can spend hours looking at relics from the past. So, why not volunteer to spend a few hours a week as a docent at a local art gallery or natural history museum?

You might also enjoy indulging your earthy sensibilities by helping to grow vegetables at a community garden or organic farm, or by grooming sheep, milking goats and cows or cleaning stalls at a 4-H Club or county fair.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Put your communication skills to work to beneďŹ t your community by editing a newsletter or designing a website for a local non-proďŹ t organization. You would also be terriďŹ c at grant-writing, designing ďŹ&#x201A;iers and helping to put on fundraising events. And your interest in language would be put to good use by teaching ESL classes and reading to the blind or socializing traumatized dogs at the local Humane Society.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) Your maternal instincts would be much appreciated at a local hospital, either holding premature babies or visiting with children whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been ill or had surgery. You might also consider putting your love for food to good use by preparing and serving meals for the homeless, delivering dinner for Meals on Wheels or teaching basic cooking skills to at-risk youth. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also be ideal as an emotional counselor at a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good at spearheading activities, Leo, why not help put on an event like a Walkathon for charity, peace march or fundraising gala dinner? Or enjoy your love of kids by leading recreational activities at a campground, donating time to a disabled ski club or helping sick kids make movies. You could also indulge your love for fun and games by playing mahjong with old folks at a senior center.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You love to be of service, Virgo, and have a super bright mind. Volunteering at a public library book sale or organizing a fundraising event for a literacy foundation would be perfect for you. And you could put your organizational skills to work doing data entry, donation sorting and other administrative functions for a non-proďŹ t. Helping with a community garden or teaching kids how to live more sustainably are other good options.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always on the lookout for ways to create more harmony, Libra. Teaching conďŹ&#x201A;ict resolution skills to disadvantaged teens or prison inmates would satisfy your desire to help balance the scales of justice.

Plus, your eye for beauty and love of culture would be appreciated at a conservatory dedicated to ďŹ&#x201A;owers, music or artâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;through organizing elegant fundraising dinners or by keeping the buildings and grounds attractive.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You have an innate understanding of birth and death, Scorpio. Your skills would be deeply valued at a hospital maternity ward, perhaps holding preemies. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also be perfect for hospice work, assisting the dying to make their transition or counseling the bereaved.

You likely have a special knack for helping refugees and survivors of torture, manning a crisis hotline or counseling battered women and children at a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21) Because you love to roam far and wide, Sagittarius, a volunteer job with Meals on Wheels or delivering donations to a shelter might interest you.

Teaching kids dance or archery at a summer camp would be right up your alley. Also, consider the many volunteer opportunities overseasâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from helping to rebuild a village ravaged by a tsunami to teaching poverty-stricken African women how to make jewelry for income.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Put your business skills to use by coaching non-proďŹ t groups on fundraising, bookkeeping or management techniques. Or call on your wise parental nature to mentor incarcerated youth. You also have a great respect for the aged, so visit folks at a nursing home or help the dying to make their transition through hospice care. Also, consider patrolling your neighborhood as a volunteer police ofďŹ cer to help keep it safe from crime.

| NationalVolunteerWeek.ca Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an animal lover, Aquarius, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably enjoy being a dog-walker or catcuddler at the Humane Society. Or volunteer at the local zoo to help with even more exotic creatures. Your excellent computer skills would be greatly appreciated at a non-proďŹ t group through creating databases, setting up websites, editing newsletters or helping to distribute donated computers to those who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t otherwise afford them.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because you are so compassionate, Pisces, you could ably help to ďŹ ll the need for emotional counselors at womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelters, jails and prisons, or even a crisis phone line. You could also use your creative talents to teach dancing, drama, painting or movie-making to kids after school. Also consider reading to the blind, counseling the bereaved or helping with kids at a preschool.

The first question is easily answered…virtually any business or organization can offer a volunteer this opportunity.

For example it could be the lo-

As for finding a student, you
