plots are foiled because of the intervention of the clueless bumpkin Dogberry and all the upset turns out to be – yes – Much Ado About Nothing.

Audience members will recognize much of the talented young cast from last year’s Mudds Shakespeare production, who have returned for another chance to test their chops on the bard. Meaghan McBryan, who played Lady MacDuff in last year’s production, has taken a more comedic turn this year, playing the man-hating Beatrice.

Well-known local talent Connor Lyon, who played Ross last year (and is fresh from performances in La Cage aux Folles and as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar), is playing Benedick.

“Before I chose this year’s production, I asked my young actors which play they wanted to do. Most of them wanted Romeo and Juliet,” says Mark Piper, who has returned as di-

rector. “And I almost said yes.

But I thought that after doing a tragedy last year, we should try to expand our range. So I picked Much Ado. It’s almost the same story, actually, but stood on its head: young lovers, obstacles, and a faked death – but with a happy ending this time.”

Just as in last year’s performance, the players will perform on the floor of the Town Hall, surrounded by their audience. And just as last year’s audiences were almost in the middle of the swordfights, mayhem, and madness, this year’s audience will got a very close up view of the pratfalls, the wit, and the lovers’ last romantic kiss.

The cast is in rehearsals right now, studying the Shakespearian language, getting ready for their performance in October. So if you see a young actor walking around town singing, “Hey Nonny Nonny,” now you know why!

EMC Lifestyle - The Mississippi MUDDS Youth Theatre, after last year’s success with witches and murderers and the King of Scotland in Macbeth, is taking on a different challenge this year: romance, comedy and happy endings. This October, the young players will be bringing Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing to the Town Hall Stage.

A perennial favourite, Much Ado tells the well-loved story of Beatrice and Benedick, two young lovers who trade insults to disguise their own fears of admitting their true feelings.

Of course, everyone else in the story can tell that they’re crazy about each other, and stage a crafty plot to get them to admit it.

At the same time, the happy romance of the other two lovers, Hero and Claudio, is attacked by the nefarious Donna Juanita, who causes trouble just for fun. But in the end her

R0011601453/0906

EMC News - This past Tuesday the Canadian Cancer Society in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville launched Wheels of Hope, an annual fundraising campaign that will help raise much needed money for its local transportation program.

“The need for assistance with drives is growing day by day.

There are more and more patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, approaching the Society with requests for rides to treatment. In fact, we are averaging about 24 new clients each and every month,” says Jan Hopkins, Unit President. “These new clients’ needs must be met, along with the other 1,032 clients already on file with our office,” adds Hopkins.

Wheels of Hope provides patients in need of cancer treatment with a ride to the facility where their particular treatment is offered. Last year alone, the Society’s 79 volunteer drivers drove an amazing 318,212 kilometres to ensure that local cancer patients got to their life-saving treatment.

The program is especially important to people without vehicles, a driver’s licence, local family and friends to help, or the financial means to make the sometimes daily trips to Kingston or Ottawa.

“When a family member gets diagnosed with cancer, it’s a huge relief to not have to worry about getting them to treatment.

With busy schedules, work and family obligations, being able to call on the Society, it’s a big relief to everyone,” says Hopkins.

The transportation program is especially vital in rural communities since many clients must travel outside of the area for treatment. The Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society covers such a large area; Pakenham to Brockville, west to Gananoque and east to Kemptville, patients must travel to Kingston, Ottawa, Winchester and occasionally Toronto for treatment.

The average cost for the Canadian Cancer Society to take a patient from Lanark, Leeds & Grenville to their treatment is just over $60 a trip due to the long distances traveled. It is not an understatement to say that some people would literally not be able to make it to treatment without this vital program. These long distances make for added costs, leaving this community in one of the greatest needs throughout the province.

Typically the average cancer treatment lasts seven weeks, requiring a minimum of 14 trips. With the average cost of taking one patient to a round trip treatment being $60, seven weeks of treatment would cost $840. Last year, the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit filled 3,229 requests for rides, resulting in a cost of $94,856.

“When the transportation program began, it cost the province just over $1 million to provide services. With an aging population, this program has grown to an expense of over $6 million for the Society, with no decline in sight,” says Leanne Waddell, Manager of the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit. “Keeping this much-needed service in the community is a high priority for the Society; however for this to happen we desperately need sponsors and donors to support it financially.”

If you would like to help get a local cancer patient to their cancer treatments you can donate to the Wheels of Hope program at www.cancer.ca/perth or by calling (613) 267-1058 or 1 800 367-2913.

Trees impacted by serious summer drought; Potential effects on maple industry uncertain just one decent cut of hay) operators could be forced to purchase hay shipped over long distances in order to sustain their animals.

A “Hay East” initiative is underway in Saskatchewan which could see tens of thousands of bales of hay shipped to Ontario to assist farmers in this parched province.

If the venture is undertaken it would mimic the “Hay West” program of 10 years ago when Ontario farmers assisted their counterparts in western Canada after Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba were hit by a long lasting drought. In the fall of 2002 Ontario farmers shipped an estimated 110,000 tonnes of excess hay to assist their western colleagues.

A meeting was held last week in the west to discuss shipping costs and to work out a system of distribution for the emergency hay “bale out.”

On an optimistic note some area orchard operators are pleased to report that while yields are reduced, the apple crop isn’t as bad as they had originally anticipated.

“The golf courses opened and people were visiting the garden centres much earlier than normal.

It didn’t help our industry, that’s for sure.”

But in characteristic fashion she remains optimistic!

“I know we will bounce back. Everything goes in cycles.”

Experts do say that a lengthy drought can have prolonged impact on trees including maples. Moisture is key to the health of trees and without it they can become more susceptible to disease and insect infestations. In fact trees use the sap they produce internally to assist growth and to help repair damage caused by weather, disease and insects.

Although the situation relative to maples will vary depending on location, industry watchers say farmers will have to be careful not to remove too much sap from trees because that could impact their future growth and long-term survival.

It adds up to something of a slippery slope for maple producers as they contemplate what lies ahead.

Meanwhile the heat and lack of rain has already seriously impacted cash crops across Lanark County and Eastern Ontario. In addition farmers with dairy and beef cattle were forced to begin feeding hay weeks ago because fields burned dry under the intense sun.

There is no forage left for the animals in most places.

In turn that means stored hay will be gone and because it can’t be supplemented by this year’s meager return (most farmers got

to think there won’t be any maple syrup next spring.

We don’t know that at this stage.

“The weather ebbs and flows and this is a very dry year. The whole season (summer) has been tossed up in the air and is falling where it wants.

“I’m confident our trees will develop systems to cope with this.”

Trees important Deugo says it is not only maple trees people should be concerned about.

“The tree cover in Eastern Ontario and in Lanark County is so important. It is so beautiful. We should be concerned about all of the trees and the landscape in general.”

The long-time maple producer and industry advocate feels diversification is the key for people in agriculture today.

“We turn maple products into as much (other items) as we can.

“I think it is good if people can diversify and make the changes they have to make to be successful.”

This summer’s drought is a double whammy for farmers who were already negatively affected by the unexpectedly early arrival of spring this year. In March a heat wave caused maple trees to start budding, halting the syrup gathering season dead in its tracks.

It was hoped that rain in August would allow the trees to catch up. In most areas that didn’t happen and the hot, dry conditions have continued into the first week of September.

Deugo admits the early spring didn’t help, mainly because it caused people to think about other things.

R0011596802_0906

EMC News - Consumers are almost certain to face increased prices this fall and winter because the drought which had gripped Eastern Ontario and much of the remainder of the province this summer has resulted in a huge hit on crop yields.

Now agriculture experts are predicting the impact could be longer lasting and more far reaching than originally anticipated. One of the sectors which could feel the effects of the distinct lack of moisture is the important maple syrup producing industry in Lanark County, Ontario’s ‘Maple Syrup Capital.’

Lack of precipitation has severely stressed trees in general, including the rich maple stands responsible for so much of Ontario’s maple syrup crop. Leaves have been falling continuously throughout August, weeks earlier than normal.

While the fall colour season is now in serious jeopardy, it is possible next spring’s and future maple sap harvests could also be affected. The sweet nectar of the maple tree is collected and boiled to produce maple syrup and candy, foremost among numerous maple products which have helped put Lanark County on the map.

Although sap won’t run until next spring, six months away, maple syrup producers are concerned because summer is the time of year when their trees are making sugar. Moisture absorbed through the root system is a catalyst to that process.

Younger trees in particular are vulnerable to the dry conditions because they have shallower root systems that can’t reach water deep in the ground.

However Shirley Deugo of Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush near Cedar Hill in Mississippi Mills says it is far too early to tell if the sap run next spring will be seriously reduced.

“If we get lots of rain this fall and we have a snowy winter that will be positive for the trees. An old fashioned winter is what we need,” she says.

“Pray for rain – that’s what we want everyone to do,” she adds.

Deugo says because weather is cyclical her biggest concern is how a lengthy drought will affect the trees long-term.

“It’s the (future) health of the trees we are most concerned about.

“But maples are often 200-250 years old. They are pretty resilient.”

She says making predictions too early can be a mistake.

Research project to focus on hospitality, tourism and retail industries pations for current and future employment needs is a great starting point. Young people need assistance in matching skills education to employment opportunities.”

Melissa Marquardt, Marketing Coordinator for the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association, says it is important for the OVTA to be involved in this project, “Many of our tourism operator members face challenges in recruiting and retaining skilled labour, especially for those who offer seasonal employment. The OVTA is committed to the success of our member tourism operators and addressing the labour challenges is one of the ways we can help them be more successful.”

For more information about the project please contact the Labour Market Group of Renfrew and Lanark by phone: 613-7354292 or email: renfrewlanark@gmail.com. You can also visit their website at www.renfrewlanark.com.

community,” says Stone.

“We are then charged with developing an electronic tool and handbook specifically aimed at Youth, Guidance and Employment Counsellors. Once that is completed we will also be developing a campaign to inform youth of these employment opportunities, using a variety of methods including hosting awareness sessions.”

The first public phase of the project is being launched this week and its success is very much dependent on the willingness of businesses and operators to get involved says Stone.

“Members of the Tourism, Hospitality and Retail industries are being asked to complete a five minute labour study online, over the phone or in person. This confidential information will provide a snapshot of current workforce trends.

The more participation we have the more accurate the information will be, allowing us, along with our partners, to find concrete solutions to any employment issues that arise.”

Jill Campbell, President of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce explains why this initiative is key; “Meeting the labour market demand in a rapidly changing economy is challenging for all employers. I think Lanark County is a great place to live and work. I want my children and grandchildren to have meaningful employment in the area. A project which will identify skilled occu-

EMC Business - In the Province of Ontario, Ministry of Finance data projects the shortfall in the availability of workers in Ontario to reach an estimated high of 1.8 million by 2031, depending on our level of population growth.

Without effective action at the local, provincial and national levels, we will face a future with large numbers of unskilled workers looking for jobs that require skills they do not possess, and a large number of jobs that will go unfilled.

In order to address this issue in Eastern Ontario, the 1000 Islands Region Workforce Development Board and the Labour Market Group of Renfrew and Lanark are working together with associations and organizations in both Renfrew and Lanark counties to identify future employment opportunities, specifically in the Tourism, Hospitality and Retail industries, and to use this information to develop solutions to potential skill shortages.

The Youth Filling Employment Gaps in Retail and Tourism project is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Youth Awareness initiative. The project will run until the middle of February and has very clear objectives, says Project Manager, Keanan Stone. “The first step is research and analysis, identifying occupations in the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors where there are current and future employment needs in the local

Kayaking to Beat Cancer raises close to $6,800 ber the big donations, but I received one this year that I really will remember. I got home one evening and I found an envelope that someone had dropped in my mail slot.

The envelope contained one of my event business cards and $5. On the outside was a simple message: Good Luck. I will never know who dropped off this donation but I will remember it. For someone to take the time and bring that donation to me with those simple but obvious heartfelt wishes truly made my day.”

While Raby feels this year’s event was “very small” his intention is to “continue to grow” it. He thanks the many businesses and individuals who contributed to the silent auction, or made a cash donation.

“Next year will be bigger and better. There will be more paddlers, more money raised for the Canadian Cancer Society and hopefully a few interesting activities during the event,” he commented.

Raby is hoping to get more participants out next year. If you are interested in taking part next year, you may con-

tact Raby at 613-267-6446 for more information.

While more interest is sought, there will be a limit of 15 paddlers.

EMC News - Bruce Raby, founder of Kayaking To Beat Cancer, raised close to $6,800 for the cause this year. In addition to funds that were raised along the 100 km route to Ottawa from Kingston, donations from Canadian Tire, Mahon Pools, Lambden Windows, Stone Celler and Mex & Co were auctioned off at both Barnabe’s and Steve’s Independent Grocers to raise additional funds.

Joining Raby was Stephen Sproule who was paddling in a canoe that was purchased by his father in 1967. Sproule lost his father to cancer a few years back and paddled in his memory.

He raised $1,100 on his own for the event. Also joining Raby were his son Nicholas, and Benedikt Emperle, who is visiting from Germany. They planned to continue fundraising along their canal journey.

One hundred per cent of the proceeds from the Kayaking to beat Cancer event go to the Lanark, Leeds, Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Beneficial program runs second time DEAR EDITOR: Back in the spring, I wrote in, supporting the Lanark County Mental Health’s program: “Strengthening Families Together”.

This free eight-week session is specifically designed to help family and friends of people with mental illness.

Developed by the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario, this program reaches a wide audience. Topics covered include understanding mental illness, the mental health system, schizophrenia and mood disorders, coping, addictions, and treatment options.

The class that went through in May/June had about 15 attendees. All agreed they came out better informed, and better equipped to help themselves and even each other through the challenges that come with mental illness.

LCMH is offering this program again, starting Sept. 11.

Registration is encouraged to be done before Sept. 7 for materi-

als to be prepared. This program helps answer questions. It offers families the chance to voice their concerns in a supportive environment. There is strength in knowing you are not alone and there is much to be gained when you find ways to support your family member, and yourself, in the best way possible. I watch family members struggle, and as such I am truly an advocate for this program to all.

Confidentiality is requested to allow for open sharing.

Spouses, parents, siblings, friends and even health care providers... everyone is welcome. To register or if any questions, call LCMH at 613-283-2170.

EMC Editorial - September is a big month for many reasons: back to school, the United Way Campaign kicks off (later on this month). It is also Big Brothers Big Sisters month.

Perhaps the greatest investment we can make in our own futures is in the youth of today – those young people who will carry our society forward in the years to come.

By becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, an inschool mentor, or just volunteering with the agency, those contributors are helping the children of our community grow and realize their full potential.

If you are already involved in some way - congratulations for giving back to your town, county and to society in general. If not, why not take a little bit of time and find out what is involved? It doesn’t hurt to make a phone call, check out the agency’s website, or just pop in for a minute. And in today’s overly busy needingmore-hours-than-are-in-a-day world, there are many different ways you can give back and become a Big Brother or Big Sister.

Bigs and mentors serve as role models – teaching by example, giving and giving back, staying in school, and having respect for others – notes the BBBS website.

This life-changing relationship that is created when a match is paired together can have a domino effect – leading to a reduction in unemployment and poverty, safer schools and neighbourhoods.

Receiving no government funding from any level of government, BBBS relies on the community for support through donations, grants and two successful thrift stores called Jewel’s Gently Used Clothing - one located in Perth and one in Smiths Falls.

When looking at pure dollars and cents, each match costs approximately $2,000 a year. The costs are for the set-up and monitoring how things are going.

Major fundraising events take place throughout the year to help the agency in achieving its vision of providing every child in the county who “needs a mentor with a mentor.” This in turn completes its mission of helping “children develop to their unique potential through consistent, dependable and non-conditional adult friendship.”

Why not make an investment in your community and take a moment this month to check out BBBS and see if you wish to give back? Visit www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

Children preferred Father’s style of punishment EMC Lifestyle - We much preferred Father over Mother when it came to meting out discipline. Father was so soft hearted, he could never come give us a swat even if we deserved it.

Mother felt a disobedient child would never amount to a hill of beans, and not only did she on occasion have a heavy hand, she was quick to dole it out too. Often Mother would say to Father, “Those children have to be dealt with. You look after it Albert.” This meant a trip to the drive shed, Father lighting his pipe, we five kids shifting from one foot to the other while awaiting our punishment. Mother was sure Father was in the shed giving us a few whacks with the strap, and to make it sound like we were really being punished Father would slap the strap against

his work table, Emerson would yelp like a wounded puppy, and eventually we would stagger out of the drive shed pretending to be almost mortally wounded from the blows that never came!

My sister Audrey blamed it on the heat. Emerson said it was because school would be going back in a couple days.

Whatever the reason, there erupted on the front lawn the most glorious fight of all time.

It started when Emerson threw a pail of water on Earl, most of which missed him and

caught Audrey square in the face, which completely ruined the curls she got by enduring her hair being tied up in rags all night. She grabbed the pail out of Emerson’s hand and was all set to swat him with it, when Everett grabbed the handle, wrenched it from her, and caught me, the innocent bystander, square on the backside. It didn’t hurt in the least, but always ready to make the most of any situation getting out of hand, I nonetheless started to roar as if I had been hit with a two by four!

It didn’t take Mother long to come out of the house to see what all the uproar was about.

She always let us settle our own battles, refusing to listen to anyone who was about to tattle. But this was no ordinary disagreement. Audrey was standing on the pump stand,

screaming, the three brothers were rolling on the grass, and I was wailing that I thought my back was broken!

Father, if he heard the ruckus was ignoring it. Mother found him in the cow byre and she insisted he take us all into the drive shed and “deal with the whole lot of them,” she said.

Father took his pipe out of his mouth, and pointed it towards the open doors, not saying a word. He put a stern look on his face, and followed us all through the double doors.

The heat of the day was on our side. Father had been up since dawn, and even though it was early in the day, he looked wilted and tired out. He didn’t look like he was in any mood to dole out punishment. He asked Audrey what happened to her hair, he told Everett when the

discipline was over he was to fill the watering trough, Emerson was to sort the newly bought nails into the tin cans on the shelf, Earl was to feed the chickens, and with a big wink in my direction, he said, “And you young lady have to come to Briscoe’s General Store with me.” But he wasn’t finished with me yet, “You’ll have to eat the humbugs Mr. Briscoe gives you every time you go in the store.” Father knew I hated humbugs with a passion.

“Or you can bring them home and give them to Queenie… that old horse sure loves humbugs.” And he gave me another big wink.

Just before he let us out of the drive shed, he gave the work table another couple good whacks with the old leather strap, Emerson let out

a few roars as if he had come in direct contact with it, Earl developed the usual sniffles, and Audrey, who we all knew was too old to strap, said, “Yes I know not to get involved the next time with any fights.”

Father told me to go and wait for him beside the buggy.

He walked, filling his pipe at the same time, towards the kitchen door. “I have to run over to Briscoe’s,” he said through the screen. “Mary’s coming with me. And they’ve all been dealt with,” he added over his shoulder. Mother seemed satisfied. I once heard her tell Mrs. Beam that she, “Could always depend on Albert to discipline the children.

Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to handle the five of them.”

And for that, we five kids were might grateful!

Buying a home requires a lot of thought... and action!

When it comes time to buy a home, most people already have an idea of what type of residence they are looking for, such as a single-family unit, a duplex or a multiple-unit dwelling. Chances are they also have a good idea of their price range.

Buying a home can be much easier with a bit of planning and by taking a close look at your specific needs. For example, what are the municipal taxes for the area and which services are available?

Hiring an experienced real estate agent is another smart move. These professionals will dedicate their efforts to finding the exact type of home you are looking for. By having an agent do all the preliminary legwork for you, you won’t have to waste time visiting inappropriate homes.

But real estate agents aren’t mind readers. That means you should provide your agent with as much information as possible. When you first sit down with him or her, outline all your requirements precisely: the type of environment you are looking for, the approximate lot size, as well as the type of home and the number of rooms. Also mention any other important elements you are looking for, such as a specific heating or ventilation system. All this information will allow your agent to narrow the search to those homes that can meet your needs.

Once you have decided on a particular property, your agent will submit a purchase bid to the owner or developer (in the case of a new building). This bid may be conditional on the building’s inspection or on the sale of your current home.

Certain requests may also be included in the bid, such as requesting that certain elements be left in the home, such as the dishwasher, vertical blinds or decorative items.

Canoe paddle looks at devastation of Appleton Swamp EMC Lifestyle - The devastation of the provincially designated Appleton Swamp was the feature of the second August Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) final canoe/kayak paddle for the month of August. Sixteen paddlers launched from the park in Appleton and slowly studied the dead and dying soft maple trees throughout the Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI).

MVFN member Cliff Bennett explained to the group the history and biology of the wetland areas and of the MVFN monitoring programme over the past three years.

After paddling around the bay to examine the local hydro generating dam and view the ruins of the old woolen mill, the craft then made their way down river to Almonte, listing all of the species of flora and fauna seen from the water’s edge along the way. Aquatic plants such as broad-leaved arrowhead, water arum, pickerelweed, yellow and white water lilies and much smartweed were listed. Of special interest was the invasive species frog bit, spotted in Drummond creek.

Fauna included osprey, many great blue herons, a kingfisher, many ring-billed gulls, loons, wood duck and black duck and a spotted sandpiper. Painted turtles were

scarce and a few bullfrogs were noted. The vessels then landed at the Almonte beach and the members walked the river walk to the Barley Mow for lunch.

Earlier in the month, 18 members canoed Clayton and Taylor Lake. Putting in at the dam at Clayton, paddlers were almost immediately immersed in lush wild rice beds. The paddle knocked rice seeds into the boats, making quite a collection when finished. Canoeing through the rice beds to Command Bridge over the Indian River, the group listed many great blue herons, wood ducks and common mergansers, two osprey (one with a fish slung under its belly), a small flock of Canada geese, two merlins and at least three pairs of loons, two with a youngster. Lunch was enjoyed at Thompson’s beach and the group went into Taylor Lake in search of the historic sunken floating bridge.

The MVFN canoeing programme continues into September with the annual canoe camp, for the second year at Achray camp ground in Algonquin Park, Sept. 7-10 and the fall colours trip Sept. 30, Canoto Lake. For more information on the MVFN canoeing programme, contact MVFN BOD member Bob Volks, 613-461-7333 or gilligalloubird@gmail.com.

The second annual The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life took place Sept. 1 in Carleton Place. Bringing suicide and substance abuse out of the shadows and into the light, was the purpose of the run/walk fundraiser in memory of the young man who took his own life in 2006. Mother Nicole has been raising awareness of mental health issues ever since. Above, some Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee members and some volunteers out for the day.

Five-year operating plan approved Council has approved the Community Forest Five-Year Operating Plan for 2013-2017, which sets out a schedule of activities for that period and provides a forecast of longer-term thinning and harvesting while adhering to the ecological values and practices contained in the Community Forest 20-Year Management Plan (2011-2030).

The community forests consist of 40 properties (4,583 hectares) that were purchased between 1938 and 1987. They are tracts of natural forest, treed plantations established in previous farmland, as well as lakes and wetlands. Lanark County works to manage these lands in a sustainable way so they can provide social, recreational, economic, scientific, cultural and spiritual benefits to everyone. A vision statement and guiding principles were completed and approved in 2010 as part of the 20-year management plan. Within the management plan are five-year operating plans that also involve a public consultation process. The public consultation process for this draft operating plan began in April with advertisements and notifications to several local interest groups. Feedback was received from one group and an individual and comments were used to produce a second draft, which was approved at council.

EMC News - The following are briefs from a recent Lanark County council meeting.

Local resident Roger Loyer and a large delegation of supporters attended council to highlight concerns regarding safety on area roads during bicycle tours. The initiative began following an incident between Loyer and some cyclists in July.

He outlined numerous accounts of incidents reported by other residents and urged council to consider ways to ensure everyone “will be safe, secure and not impeded.” He noted the rising popularity of cycling tours across Canada has brought problems to light where cyclists must share narrow, winding rural roads with motorists.

He recommended council consider ways to register the tours and the individual cyclists and look at having more paved shoulders on country roads in tandem with stricter enforcement of Highway Traffic Act regulations by the OPP. Warden John Gemmell (Perth Deputy Mayor) said county staff would bring forward any recommendations on what the county could do and Loyer will be informed when a staff report is prepared. Councillor Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith Deputy Reeve) noted the cycling component is still under consideration as part of the county’s transportation master plan process.

Twin community rallies to overcome flood disaster Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Crieff.

If you happen to visit St. Fillans Cemetery, which is part of the United Cemeteries in Beckwith Township just southeast of Carleton Place, you will find many weathered grave markers with the names of people from Comrie and district that settled here and lived the rest of their lives in Lanark County.

The 20th anniversary events in Comrie were very well done.

The community council, headed by Comrie architect Andrew Finlayson, did a first-rate job of organizing and hosting the twinning anniversary and we are deeply indebted to them.

Later this month we will host 20th anniversary celebrations in Carleton Place which will be attended by George Lees, the long-time chair of the Comrie Twinning Committee (now a subcommittee of council) his wife Marlyn and daughter Amanda. It will be our turn to roll out the red carpet!

Twinning is about people and communities. It includes learning about the history, culture and the lives of those in different countries. As Frank quite rightly points out, in the case of Carleton Place and Comrie

it is also about “bridging the gap created by a common language.”

There are a number of points of comparison between Canada and Scotland of course, including the fact we speak the same language – well, after a fashion. Both countries have relatively small populations and many people reside in villages and towns such as Comrie and Carleton Place. By the way, the folks in Strathearn are mainly nationalists who would like to see Scotland standing separate and distinct from the rest of the United Kingdom. The Saltire (national flag of Scotland) is prominent. Union flags are rare indeed!

During our stay we were given a wonderful driving tour of the Lochs (lakes) and glens (valleys) of the Perthshire region, the former county (now Perth and Kinross) which includes Comrie.

We’ve been to Scotland several times, but our hosts were good enough to treat us to a first. They took us to the tiny, picturesque hamlet of Balquhidder where Scottish folk hero Rob Roy MacGregor, usually called simply ‘Rob Roy’, is buried. Located in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, the setting above Loch Voil, overlooked by the Braes of Balquhidder (hills) is absolutely spectacular!

I mentioned earlier that Scots and Canadians share some points of comparison. Their

winter days are even shorter than ours, believe it or not and the weather is certainly of great interest to people in both countries. We both love to complain about the weather.

This summer we might as well be on different planets!

While Eastern Ontario has been baking in the midst of one of the hottest, driest summers on record, much of Scotland has been dealing with saturating rain and cool temperatures most of the time. During 10 days in Great Britain the only rain we had to duck was during our five days in Scotland.

On Saturday, August 18 as we stood on the historic Ross Bridge (circa 1792) celebrating the 20th anniversary, the most prominent sound – besides the skirl of the bagpipes – was the thundering River Earn passing beneath the bridge. It reminded me of the Mississippi River in Carleton Place in late March and April, during the spring melt.

One evening I walked from the Comrie Hotel, where we were staying, to the local news agent where there’s a post office. I was on my way to mail some post cards.

It was raining heavily and as I crouched under my umbrella I couldn’t help but notice that the catch basins were filled to overflowing. “An ominous sign,” I thought.

Comrie is at the confluence of three rivers. The Ruchill and Lednock are tributaries of

the River Earn which in turns flows into the larger River Tay. All were noticeably high during our stay.

Recently, two days after our return from the UK, Wendy called me to say she had noticed on the Comrie community website that there had been flooding in the village.

I couldn’t find anything on the news websites I am familiar with. But visiting the Comrie webpage it was obvious something significant had occurred.

Tuesday morning I checked again and found news stories about the flooding on the BBC website as well as on the Internet site of the Courier newspaper based in Dundee. In the midst of more downpours the River Ruchill burst its banks and nearly 100 properties were flooded, with many people forced to flee their homes.

Property damage is expected to reach the hundreds of thousands of pounds.

I was shocked to read that one of the hardest hit streets was Tay Avenue, on the south side of the River Earn. Our good friend Isobel McEwan lives there. I rang her Tuesday afternoon and got the full story about the previous day’s flooding, the most serious to hit the village since 2006.

Isobel was fortunate. The rampaging water just about reached the front yard of her residence. But due to the hard work of four fire brigades, who toiled all night to pump

water into surrounding fields, her home and many others in the tidy neighbourhood were spared.

Others, including some people living on her street, weren’t as fortunate. The video a committee colleague sent to me, showing flood waters pouring down streets we had walked on just days earlier, was shocking!

Not surprisingly the people of Comrie quickly rallied.

Neighbours housed neighbours, the community council arranged rooms for displaced residents at the Royal Hotel and the local youth hostel. Doctors walked door-to-door to check on elderly people who were stranded and traumatized by the disaster.

Rev. Graham McWilliams, minister of the Church of Scotland parish in Comrie was up all night assisting until parishioners and others affected by the flood were re-housed.

Isobel says that by pulling together, the people of Comrie dealt with the problem admirably.

Knowing the people of Comrie as we do I’m not surprised.

I would expect nothing less.

I’m proud our community is twinned with such a wonderful place and pleased to count so many friends there. I send my best wishes to everyone affected.

R0011596775_0906

EMC Lifestyle - My wife Kathleen and I, along with our friends and fellow committee members Wendy and Frank LeBlanc, recently returned after attending some very special events in Comrie, Scotland which is twinned with our community, Carleton Place.

Wendy, who is our very capable mayor, was the chief representative from Carleton Place during celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the twinning arrangement involving Comrie, a picturesque village located on the southern edge of the Scottish Highlands and Carleton Place.

The four of us are all members of the local Sister City Committee which oversees the linkages with Comrie and our other sister community, the city of Franklin, Tennessee near Nashville. I have the privilege of being the current chairman of the Carleton Place committee and in that capacity I also participated in the official events surrounding the 20th anniversary.

Carleton Place and Comrie have an historic connection.

Many of the first settlers here as well as in neighbouring Beckwith Township and other parts of Lanark County immigrated to Canada from what is now the Perth and Kinross Region of Scotland in the 19th Century.

Among them were natives of the Strathearn district which includes villages and towns such as Comrie, St. Fillans and

Aging Expedition could benefit from diagnostic scan Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

Holger At over 365,000 km and 15 years of age, more than a few sensors and circuits on this Ford may have exceeded their lifespan.

First, oxygen sensors don’t last forever and most are retired due to carbon and soot build up on their tips as they are constantly exposed to the exhaust stream from the engine. Your Expedition has four of them (costing around $90 each) and judging from the diagnostic trouble codes you’re getting, they are definitely suspect. But, and this is a big but, before I’d recommend changing any more sensors or components on this vehicle, I’d have a diagnostic scan done with test equipment that can actually display the sensor’s activities rather than just a trouble code. These types of scanners are quite common and can save a lot of time and money when it comes to check engine light repairs.

If the oxygen sensors are due for replacement and are not attended to, the chances are very good that the catalytic convertor(s) will be damaged due to excessive fueling, not to mention being unable to pass an emission test to renew the license tags. The lean run-

ning codes might be due to an intake leak, which isn’t uncommon on this engine considering its age and mileage and the evaporative vent codes could either be a malfunctioning control valve, or porous vacuum lines or poor wiring.

Knowing that solving all these problems might involve parts and labour costs approaching $1,000 or more, I’d suggest having a complete inspection done on the vehicle to assess what else might be sprouting up in terms of future repairs to gain a more complete picture of the financial feasibility of keeping this ‘keeper’ in the family. Mechanical systems aside, the biggest risk to your pocket book with this vehicle will be due to corrosion. If it isn’t sheet metal or undercarriage frame members it will be body and engine wiring that will succumb to the ravages of our addiction to road salt. “Hi Brian, We had a customer come in this morning with a problem we haven’t seen before.

He sprayed a commercial tire cleaner on his tires before going into a car wash, and of course, overspray got onto his wheel rims.

The bottle said it should be rinsed off after one minute, but he estimated it was five minutes before he went into the car wash. The result was that the clear coat on all his wheels was etched.

We don’t recommend commercial wheel cleaners and advise customers that if they do use them, to follow the instructions to the letter. It appears we need to extend the same warning to tire cleaners.

This damage can be repaired of course, but the retail cost would be from $100-150 per wheel.�

Dan Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists of Ottawa, Inc. A big thanks goes out to Dan and his team for a timely tip.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@ hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

EMC Lifestyle - “Hi Brian, My basic question is whether oxygen sensors have a finite lifespan? My specifics: 1998 Expedition with a 5.4 L V8, bought new, 365,000 km, check engine light on and a bunch of codes. It seems like whenever we clear them they sprout new ones like weeds. To resolve a previous intermittent misfire/ stall when put into reverse problem the shop tried additive and I subsequently took off the intake manifold and cleaned what I could, replaced the Idle air control valve as well as replacing the fuel injectors. Replacing the injectors resulted in marked improvement of mileage. We notice an intermittent stumble at idle or constant low rpm which can be cleared by kicking down the transmission (check engine light does not flash). The codes I get are: P0174- bank 2 too lean P1451- evap system vent control circuit P0133bank 1 sensor 1 slow response P0153- bank 2 sensor 1 slow response P0155bank 2 sensor 1 heater circuit P1151- sensor indicates lean P1152- sensor indicates rich. The vehicle is a keeper and we have done all the scheduled maintenance to the book and beyond. Our guys at the garage are a decent sort and don’t seem to want to start a ‘snark hunt’. Do you have any suggestions on how to pull some of these weeds out of the garden?�

Studies show that more than half of high blood pressure patients give up their medication within one year and fail to make recommended lifestyle changes. What these people may not know is that, if left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and even death. So, help defuse the situation and develop your treatment program with your doctor or health care professional.

A Little About Us.....

We are gentle giants. We are independent and shy at first, but we can warm up to kind people that do not impose themselves on us.

We will follow our trusted humans with great curiosity and are kindly referred to as

the shelter sheep. We need a secure enclosure if left unsupervised. We can live outside or both indoors and outdoors. We have spent our whole lives together (Mork is Teddy’s father). We are only one year apart in age and find comfort in being together.

Dook is a Hound X, tricolour, male (neutered), seven years old.

A Little About Me.....I am a real gentleman. I am very food motivated and can be good on leash for a hound.

I am a vocal dog here at the shelter, however I will likely be more of an alarm barker in a new home. I am an affectionate dog with people once trust is established. I get along with some dogs but would prefer a quiet home.

dedicated playtime, along with a reducing diet, these two lovebugs can get down to their sleek wonderfulness.

Both are easygoing males with great personalities.

Denzel has wonderful green eyes, a lovely black coat and a non-stop purr. Delbert is a handsome brown tabby who loves human companionship, gets along well with others and would make a wonderful addition to any household.

Do you have it in your heart to give these boys a forever home?

CFUW is an organization of women, linked regionally, nationally and internationally, promoting quality education, participation in public affairs concerning justice, human rights, social and environmental is-

sues, and the improvement in the status of women and girls, – all in an atmosphere of fun, friendship and cooperation.

Membership is open to women who support the goals of CFUW, and have earned a degree or professional designation. More information about CFUW can be accessed at the website www.cfuw-perth-district.com or from the membership committee chair at cfuw.perth.membership@ gmail.com.

First on this fall’s agenda is the annual potluck supper – Monday, Sept. 17, 6 p.m., Perth Legion, 26 Beckwith St. E., which all members eagerly anticipate - new members can learn all about the local CFUW, meet the friendly members, sign up for any of 16 various interest groups (bridge, hiking, gourmet dinner group, advocacy, travel, languages etc) learn about the various community volunteer and fundraising projects undertaken.

These projects provide monies for our educational awards to women who are furthering their schooling ($17,500 awarded this spring), and for support to literacy initiatives and reading programs in local elementary schools, and Historica Fair.

There are many opportunities to volunteer time and talent to the various projects in which CFUW Perth and District participates or sponsors. One of their main fundraising activi-

ties is the Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour to be held this year on Dec. 1 and 2 – mark it in the calendar!

Exciting and informative future meetings include the Oct. 15 program with well known local historian Susan Code and Perth’s Mayor John Fenik talking about “The Heart of Perth: Past and Future” and also Irene Spence who will describe the important role of Alexander Fraser, from the Perth area, in the War

of 1812.

Information on future meetings will be publicized in the media and can also be accessed from the website’s Calendar of Events.

Meetings generally are held the third Monday of each month, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Perth Legion Building.

Colleges and faculty reach tentative agreement

EMC News – There will be no disruption to classes this fall at Ontario’s 24 colleges.

It was announced last week that a tentative agreement has been reached with 10,000 college faculty.

“This is great news for our students, faculty and the colleges, as it secures a new contract for two years and removes the threat of a strike,” said Sonia Del Missier, Chair of the Colleges’ Bargaining Team.

“Both sides bargained hard and came to a settlement that is reasonable to faculty and affordable for the colleges.”

Terms of tentative agreement:

be frozen,

• eligible faculty would still move through the grid, • all benefits would remain untouched, • the offer asks for no concessions from faculty.

Infiniti G37: A car for drivers EMC Lifestyle - The vehicles I road-test for these reviews (yes it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Infiniti G37 coupe I enjoyed for this review came from the press fleet of Infiniti Canada.

When you move up to personal luxury vehicles, along with the performance, comfort, and prestige comes a truck-load of technology. Some of it is designed to enhance the driving experience, some is made to improve safety, some is meant to pamper and comfort. But in many cases a lot of it is simply overwhelming and only serves to separate humans from their machines which does nothing to reinvigorate the driving spirit. Items like lane-departure warning systems, active collision avoidance controls, and 360 exteriorview camera monitors treat drivers like, well, total idiots who can’t make it from point A to point B without the assistance of a dozen or so printed circuit-boards, cameras and sensors. Fortunately Infiniti remembers what it’s like to enjoy the drive and that the market their G37 coupe is aimed at is made up of drivers with more than a few miles of experience. Therefore their luxury version of Nissan’s legendary 370Z coupe treats its drivers with respect and lets them take control of the wheel.

With Infiniti, luxury and performance comes at a very reasonable price. The G37 starts the price trek at $46,380 and travels up to my tester’s destination of $51,800 before freight, taxes, license, and any current incentives. Like the 370Z, the G37X comes with a 330 hp V6 engine and a 7 speed automatic transmission. Along with everything you’d expect from this automaker on their feature list are such items as intelligent all-wheel drive, 8-way power heated driver and front passenger seats, power tilt/telescoping steering column, steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, speed sensing wipers, high-intensity discharge lamps, 11-speaker audio system, and double-piston front and rear disc brakes just to name a few highlights.

First, for a lowish-slung two door, the G37 coupe has the easiest entry and exit of its class. And yes, the rear seats will accommodate adults of average height without sacrificing leg room. Trunk space might not seem excessive by the numbers (210 L/7.4 cubic feet) but it’s well laid out and easily accommodates luggage for two or a weekly grocery run. My biggest pet peeve with coupes is their penchant for blind spots from almost every angle, but the

Auto Know BRIAN TURNER

G37 provides segment leading views out the front, sides, and rear.

It does have a back-up camera, but the mirrors are quite adequate on their own.

On the road the G37 provides just the right balance of road feedback and ride comfort. Noise levels are subdued but not to the point you can’t enjoy the tailpipe tunes on full throttle applications.

The P225/45R19 tires provide more than enough grip for even the most enthusiastic drive and the 3.7 L won’t disappoint. Its variable valve timing provides a power band that increases with rpm not unlike a continually variable transmission would feel like if it were on

steroids. The shift paddles will permit the driver to delay up-shifts to bring widest smiles since income tax return day.

Infiniti and their partner/parent Nissan seem to be one of the few automakers that can design and create instrument panels and controls that are easy to use and provide the minimal amount of distraction for the technology provided. The G37 gets better than passing marks for driver controls and the ability to completely darken the center-stack display with just one button. This makes for as little distraction as possible while keeping important functions within easy reach.

Few sports coupes would be considered well-mannered enough for a long distance tour, but the Infiniti G37XS can cover the miles without wearing out the driver. And the added benefit of adaptive all-wheel drive means never having to worry about road or weather conditions ahead. Combine all this into a well-equipped package that is just north of $50K and you’ll find very little competition for this vehicle, and of course nothing will bring the Nissan Z heritage to the table like the G37.

Yours in service, Brian Turner

Sandy Sharkey of Bob Fm will be judging that afternoon.

Currently there is the potential for an agility show outside of the community centre facility, however that is still in the works and cannot be confirmed.

But confirmed new treats for the day include Judy Tennant. Of Parrot Partner, an exotic animal training and rehabilitation facility,

Tennant will present “Is a Parrot the Right Pet for You?� Meet some of these amazing birds and learn all about parrots as pets.

Little Ray’s Reptiles will be on hand as well as a presentation on Pet First Aid. The goal for this year’s undertaking is to raise $5,000 for LAWS. Increase visitors to the event Michele Green, who sits on the event’s organizing committee, explained last year’s event attracted around 350 people, this year they are hoping to increase that number by 50 per cent.

The show itself is focused completely on family pets and is full of fun activities, and educational components.

Vendors are also on the day’s agenda, and are still being sought out at this point.

Sponsorships are also always welcome. Those wishing to take part in either capacity are encouraged to visit the website (www.petloverexpo.com) and click on the “contact� link.

Big Brother, big impact - September is Big Brothers Big Sisters month EMC Lifestyle - Nothing is more special than having a big brother that chooses to spend time with his little brother.

Mike Matthews, a newer mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS), became a big brother this year and has not once regretted his decision.

When asked why he chose Big Brothers Big Sisters, Mike explained, “The organization gives me a chance to help out in my community, be a positive influence in someone’s

life without changing my everyday life routine very much. If I can volunteer and have fun doing it, everyone wins!”

Mike thought at the beginning that he would be put on a list and have to wait some time before being matched with his little brother.

“As it turns out,” Mike says, “it was the opposite.

There are boys that have been waiting for a big brother for years, which made me want to do it even more.”

BBBS has a growing

need for male mentors all over the county. Currently, the agency has children waiting to be matched to a mentor. More of these waiting children are boys. Now more than ever, BBBS is waiting; waiting for men to ‘start something’ and become mentors.

Mike and his little brother Joey meet every week and can be found doing different things all the time.

They enjoy fishing, basketball, video games, and going out to local events such as Motocross races.

Mike is even teaching Joey

how to do small projects around the house. Being a big brothers allows Mike to help make someone else’s life more joyful, active and even more educational.

Through his work, hobbies and his life experiences, he truly sees the opportunity to have an impact on his little brother.

“Joey just admires him.

He looks forward to spending time with Mike and enjoys every moment.” Cindy says of the match between her son Joey and Mike.

“Their relationship makes me laugh a little, because

they are so in tune with each other. Joey has even picked up on funny gestures that Mike does. He loves being a little brother to Mike and their time together plays a very special role in his life.”

Mike put some perspective on volunteering as he explained, “The average person spends 20-25 hours a week watching television. For the people who have thought about becoming a mentor, all it takes is turning off the TV, dedicating a few hours and in turn, changing a kid’s life for the

better.”

This is exactly what Mike thought before, and now he wouldn’t change a thing. Being a big brother not only has had an impact on Joey, but on Mike as well: “I have gotten the privilege of being looked up to, and being a role model for someone. Being a big brother has been a great experience, and has helped change the world, even if just a little.”

People First of Lanark County names executive board; hosts garage sale next weekend with Darth Vadar

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – People First of Lanark County (PFoLC), headquartered in Carleton Place, marked its sixth anniversary this year.

As a result, an extraordinary party was held at the local Army Navy & Air Force Club on July 21 and festivities included an election for the organization’s executive.

“Regrettably someone cast a ballot who was not a member,” PFoLC president Kory Earle told the EMC last Thursday afternoon (Aug. 30).

The results were for that reason declared null and void.

“It is my obligation as president to make sure the rules are followed – 100 per cent,” Earle commented.

With another election necessary, the call for nominations was open for 30 days for the following positions: president, vice president, treasurer, Sergeant-at-Arms, fundraising

chair and fundraising vice chair. On Aug. 23 the only role with more than one contender was Sergeant-atArms.

“If only one person runs for a position, they are acclaimed to that position,” Earle explained. “If more than one person is running for a position an election will occur.”

Results Beginning Nov. 1, Manon Lepine will take over for Earle as president.

He becomes PFoLC’s executive director.

“For me it is the same amount of work,” Earle said. “I will still be the spokesperson for People First of Lanark County, and I will continue to show leadership.”

Lepine, a five-year PFoLC member, previously held the role of vice president.

Newcomer Linda Young has been acclaimed as vice president, while Courtney O’Halloran is treasurer.

Lorry Laing and Chris

Purdy take on the roles of fundraising chair and vice chair, in that order.

“I am ecstatic,” Earle said. “For the first time we have a very diverse executive. These people believe they can make a difference for our community, and they truly stand behind the mission, vision and values of our organization.”

At PFoLC’s Sept. 14 board meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion in Carleton Place (Branch 192) a vote will be carried out to name the new Sergeant-atArms.

Garage sale Don’t know what to do with those gently used items you no longer need?

PFoLC is looking for donations for their garage sale next weekend (Sept. 15).

The event runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at CDL Truck and Car Centre, located at 80 Townline Rd. W. in Carleton Place (next to Freight Burger).

“Please donate your unwanted goods to us,” Earle

said. “Your items will find a new loving home.”

Festivities include face painting from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Darth Vadar, the central character of the Star Wars saga, will visit from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

“Darth Vadar will mingle with the children, and there is certainly an opportunity for parents to take pictures,” Earle said.

The other way to support PFoLC at its fundraising event next Saturday is to rent a spot alongside them and hold your own garage sale. The cost is $15.

“All money raised by our organization stays in Lanark County,” Earle stressed.

Garage sale donations can be dropped off at PFoLC, located in a small office on the property of the Free Methodist Church,

Community Support and the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County in sponsoring the second annual Seniors’ Expo 2012 on Thursday, Sept. 13.

The Seniors’ Expo is a “showcase of services” for people aged 50+ and caregivers.

After the Seniors’ Expo closes at 3 p.m. on the ground floor of the Almonte Community Center, 182 Bridge St., the Lanark CARP first AGM will be held on the upper floor of the same building. At the AGM the new chapter’s ByLaws and Standing Rules will be approved and an executive

elected.

All members of CARP living in Lanark County, Smiths Falls and Rideau Lakes will be called and invited to attend the AGM. There are almost 1,000 members of CARP living in the area. In addition, new members may join before the meeting starts. All attending members will be invited to get involved in deciding the direction and goals for the new chapter.

CARP is a national, nonpartisan, non-profit organization committed to a ‘New Vision of Aging for Canada’

promoting social change that will bring financial security, equitable access to health care and freedom from discrimination. CARP works to promote and protect the interests, rights and quality of life for Canadians as they age.

CARP is establishing an active network of local Chapters to sustain timely communication between the National Office, members and communities and to support and encourage members to volunteer their talent, energy and time in service to their community.

UCDSB Superintendent David Coombs completes Ironman, raises over $5,000 for Champions for Kids EMC News – A superintendent of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) completed his first-ever Ironman event in Mont-Tremblant on Sunday, Aug. 18, and raised over $5,000 for the UCDSB Champions for Kids Foundation.

Competing against more than 2,500 triathletes, Coombs finished the grueling race with an overall time of 14:45:27 – swimming 3.8 kilometers in 1:20:51, biking 180.2 kilometers in 6:56:15, and running 42.2 kilometers in 6:11:28.

Small business provides jobs, tax revenues and many other contributions to our region.

The Ironman has been on Coombs’ “bucket list” for quite some time, but he was also inspired to train and compete in memory of late superintendent Ted Kennedy who was an avid runner.

“The experience has been awesome,” Coombs said. “It gave me a chance to think about my work, reflect upon my life, and I realized when I finished the race, I just wanted to see my wife.”

The money Coombs raised from sponsors will go directly to Champions to give children the oppor-

tunity to play sports, enjoy the arts, and seek medical care.

ons, please visit www.canadahelps.org, and search for “Champions for Kids.”

Reduce medical errors to save lives and money: author

BY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Critics of austerity measures say cutting hospital beds and workers isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best way to save money.

It seems counter-intuitive, but they maintain the best way is to open more beds and hire more cleaning staff. It would have the added benefit of preventing some 24,000 Canadians deaths caused by medical errors every year, they add.

The critics stopped by Arnprior recently on a whirlwind tour of 15 cities and towns, including Ottawa. Their analogy is that of three jumbo jets crashing every week, killing 1,153 people, and how governments would move quickly to solve that problem. But when it comes to medical errors in the health-care system - where 18 per cent of patients are harmed - nothing is done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just taken as a string of personal tragedies that happen to individual families that no one links together,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tolerate a failure level of one in five in the face of scientific studies that show how we can stop it.â&#x20AC;?

William Charney, editor of the newly released book Epidemic of Medical Errors and Hospital-Acquired Infections, said governments have known for 20 years that overcrowding and improper cleaning are costly both in human suffering and tax spending. The book probes the systemic causes of preventable hospital deaths, including unsafe patient volumes, inadequate staffing levels, shift work, health care working conditions, lack of accountability, legal issues that conflict with patient safety issues, and staff training.

Cutting jobs and inefficiencies in many sectors of the economy can improve the bottom line. Health care isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of those sectors, Charney explained.

When patients develop bedsores, C. difficile, and other hospital-acquired illnesses, the treatment cost can rise dramatically: anywhere from $10,000 to $85,000 in the case of bedsores.

Properly staffed hospitals with nurses to routinely turn patients in the case of bedsores and workers to clean railings and other surfaces, would save tax dollars over the long haul,

said Charney.

He said Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach that could see service and spending freezes is wrongheaded. Canada already spends between $7 and $10 billion annually on resolving medical errors and hospital infections.

Together they are the second leading cause of death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you really want to go on austerity measures, this is how you do it: Putting money upfront will not only prevent errors and needless deaths, it will save health care dollars, because hospital stays will be shorter and liability costs will go down,â&#x20AC;? said Charney, who has 30 years of experience as a health and safety officer in Canadian and U.S. hospitals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The minister has it all wrong.â&#x20AC;?

However, the McGuinty Liberal government has a simple message that resonates: cut spending and reduce the $15-billion deficit. The counter message takes longer to explain, but Hurley and Charney are confident that when Ontarians understand the science, statistics and analysis arguments for increasing healthcare spending, the government will change course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Governments need to have the political will to tackle this epidemic and to change the culture of the medical establishment to one of openness and accountability to prevent needless deaths,â&#x20AC;? Charney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A motive of cost-cutting in the hospital sector is fueling errors. This includes an obsession with cost-cutting through understaffing nurses and cleaners.â&#x20AC;?

This fall, OCHU will push to have legislation requiring mandatory reporting of medical errors and hospitalacquired infections introduced at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The personal suffering this results in is staggering,â&#x20AC;?

Hurley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But preventable medical errors are going to get worse if the Ontario government cuts hospital budgets and thousands more beds as planned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heightened patient volumes, unsafe bed occupancy rates and reduced cleaning have resulted in an environment that puts patients at risk.â&#x20AC;?

Ontario has the fewest hospital beds per population of any province in Canada.

Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Stuff PAT TREW

for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breakfast Cookiesâ&#x20AC;?, I immediately thought of Bill Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. These cookies also have a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;good stuffâ&#x20AC;? in them - molasses, eggs, milk, oatmeal, flour, bran and raisins.

While I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend cookies for break-

fast, these make a good after-school snack, especially when eaten with an apple. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just for kids. Grown-ups like them too.

Breakfast Cookies 3/4 cup margarine (not

the spreadable type, but the one sold in blocks), softened 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 3 tbsp. molasses 1/2 cup milk 1 cup flour 1 cup bran 2 cups oatmeal 3/4 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups raisins

and mix well.

Stir in the milk, then add the remaining ingredients.

Mix thoroughly.

Drop heaping tablespoons of batter 1â&#x20AC;? apart on a greased baking sheet.

Flatten each cookie with a fork dipped in cold water.

Bake at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies begin to brown around the edges. Remove from the oven, and let cool before removing them from the baking sheet.

Makes 2 to 3 dozen.

In a mixing bowl, cream the margarine and sugar.

Add the eggs and molasses,

The Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house

and served as Reeve of Lanark County, and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor.

Allen Johnson was an avid Conservative, and counted amongst his friends, members of Parliament both federal and provincial. He served the party both locally and at the county level and during every election, determined to have his member re-elected, Dr. Johnson took to the roads, rapped on doors, and generally let it be known who he was supporting.

It was to the Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House that dignitaries of every stripe were welcomed, but it was well known that Dr. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leanings towards the Conservative party saw Tory members and Premiers more frequent visitors than representatives of other parties! Mrs. Johnson, a devoted wife, opened the Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House to dignitaries and ordinary folks alike, as her husband â&#x20AC;&#x153;collectedâ&#x20AC;? people much like one would collect coins or stamps. Their status or station in life meant nothing to either of the Johnsons. Pauline McGibbon, Lieutenant Governor for the Province of Ontario, on a visit to Carleton Place, rested in the turret bedroom, and on orders from her office, was served a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wee nipâ&#x20AC;? of her favourite imbibement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Houseâ&#x20AC;? was also home to many who needed a helping hand to get back on their feet. Everyone was welcome.

Vera Hawkins, now a resident at Carleton Place Manor, worked with Dr. Johnson for many years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those were the days when there were no appointments...first come, first served. We had an XRay machine, the only one

in town, and before the hospital was built, it was often used by other doctors. It took up most of a whole room, and I had to go way down in the cellar to develop the x-rays. It was pretty primitive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only room that was really private was what we called the Geranium Room and it was upstairs, and we took patients up these steep and narrow steps to be examined. In the office area, the rooms opened up on each other, so everyone had to climb these narrow steps when Dr. Johnson had to do an examination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he was kindness itself, and so was Mrs. Johnson, and they were both loved by everyone. And the house was amazing. I have very fond memories of my years with Dr. Johnson,â&#x20AC;? Vera told me.

Dr. Johnson died suddenly at home in November 1967. He was waked at â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Houseâ&#x20AC;?, and waiting in line to pay their respects were hundreds of people: simple folk, patients, and dignitaries. The line stretched from the steps leading down into the front entrance to the great house, across the bridge, and around the corner of the second block of the main street. Heading the lineup were the Honourable John Deifenbaker and his wife Olive.

After Mrs. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death some years later, The Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House, took on a new life. It became a home and a commercial business. Where once patients lay on a black leather couch waiting to be seen, there were now weaving looms and massive arrays of coloured wools. Mississippi Black Sheep Gallery was opened by Susan and Gor-

EMC Lifestyle - For many years my mandate with the CBC was to cover Eastern Ontario, including all of the Ottawa Valley and Western Quebec, seeking out stories about people and places with a human interest edge.

It was not difficult, and with my tape recorder and microphone in hand, I traversed hundreds of miles in a week, bringing to a listening audience stories of ordinary people doing extra-ordinary things with their lives. As well, I found unusual places hiding in obscure parts of our area, all of which won for me seven ACTRA awards. I have always said, I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win those coveted awards, it was the people who let me bring their stories to our listeners who were the true winners!

The Editors of this paper have invited me to once again seek out interesting people and places and bring

their stories to our readers. This a challenge I readily accepted, and although they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear every week, they will be published when I find them.

I hope you, our readers, will help me bring this new dimension to EMC, and I will be grateful for any suggestions you might have.

We know there are many untold stories of people and places in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec waiting to be told. Some will be my personal experiences with the subject, and others will simply bring to our readers a picture of a place or a person whose story merits telling.

My first column appears on this page. It is about a home with a tale to tell, and about the people who lived in it, and why it belongs in the rich tapestry, which makes up the Ottawa Valley.

don Scale, and flourished for many years.

The Scales werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there long when they found they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone! It all started one day when Susan was serving tea to a friend, and even though they were alone in the house, the visitor saw a man stealthily walking through the dining room. That was the first of many â&#x20AC;&#x153;sightingsâ&#x20AC;? and unusual happenings.

The Scales owned a black Lab and Terrier mix. One night the dog was seen tossing a ball and having it retrieved to be tossed again. There was no one there! Just the dog and an unseen being playing with their dog! â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alarmed.

But we knew without question, that we were not alone in the house,â&#x20AC;? Susan told me.

One day she actually saw an unfamiliar man walking down the driveway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was gardening, and I very briefly saw a short stocky man, wearing a very long reefertype coat, like they wore in days of yore, walking in our lane.â&#x20AC;?

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a long sighting, but long enough to confirm to Susan that a spirit had never given up â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Houseâ&#x20AC;?. Was it Dr. MacFarlane?

It certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the spirit of Dr. Johnson, who was over six feet tall! This man was very short. The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum is searching for a picture of Dr. MacFarlane to see if a match can be found.

Now, The Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House has taken on yet another life. It was recently bought

by Duncan McNaughton, who, when looking for office space to expand his Project Management Business located in Ottawa, could see the stately home as a perfect fit to enlarge his operations and make available individual offices to lease.

While retaining the integrity of the stately old home, much has been redone and

EMC Lifestyle - It was an imposing house to a young girl fresh off the farm. It sat majestically at the North end of the bridge on the Mississippi River in Carleton Place, and I thought surely someone with royal blood running through their veins must live in such a mansion. It was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Houseâ&#x20AC;? and I learned that a Dr. Allen Johnson ran his family practice from this large brick home.

I could see it from our much more humble home across the bridge, and felt then I would probably never get to see inside it.

However, something happened one wintery day that sent me scurrying across that bridge and into the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crowded waiting room. I inadvertently severed the leg of my beloved canary when cleaning its cage, and wrapping it in a face cloth and putting it in a small sewing basket, I tore across the bridge and into the red brick mansion, wailing my heart out. Dr. Johnson immediately took me and my basket into his office and performed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;surgeryâ&#x20AC;?. He attached two toothpicks around the little stub, wrapped them in tape, and sent me on my way. There was no charge and the little bird lived with his toothpick â&#x20AC;&#x153;prosthesisâ&#x20AC;? for years! At last, I was inside the mansion across the bridge!

Alone, the Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House deserves a place in our history books. Add Dr. and Mrs. Allen Johnson into the mix, visiting dignitaries, and a few ghosts, and we now have a story of dedication, service and legends, about which most people of the present generation know little.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always brick. First, it was white frame, built by the son of the Reverend Bell, the first minister in Perth.

It is believed the present house was fashioned off a castle-like mansion seen by Dr. M. A. MacFarlane who studied in Scotland, and who purchased the property, and built the home in 1902, which is still standing today, in spite of a devastating fire in 1945. This is where Dr. MacFarlane conducted his practice and raised his family. When Dr. MacFarlane died, it remained â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Houseâ&#x20AC;? when Drs. Downing and Ferrill took it over.

In 1924, a young doctor, well known in the Ottawa Valley, Dr. Allen Johnson, bought the home and with his wife Annie, established a medical practice that was to continue for the next 45 years.

Doctor Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to Carleton Place, goes much beyond his medical practice. He was the county medical officer for many years. He was elected to council in 1929,

made ready. Some walls have been taken down, and updates to services put in place.

And what about the spirit of someone who refuses to entirely give up residency? Well, according to Duncan McNaughton, one of his associates, unaware of the Scales experiences, says she hears someone walking upstairs. She can never find anyone, but the sounds continue.

What a life this stately

old home has had! It has seen the sick being healed, and comfort given to the dying. It has housed notables and ordinary people.

It has been devastated by fire, and restored to its original grandeur. And what of its future now? Will it continue to be a place of note? Duncan McNaughton is sure it will. He fully appreciates the integrity of the stately old house and Tiree’s Project Management Business has found the perfect location to expand. And whoever moves

in, claiming a portion of this grand old home, should be prepared to share their space. There will be nothing to fear, though. Susan Scale says these are friendly spirits.

Are they really part of The Doctor’s House? Are they someone’s soul of times gone by, who wants to hang on to what once was?

Perhaps they just want to make sure that the integrity of The Doctor’s House remains what it was meant to be when it was built 110 years ago!

Outgoing PSB chair delivers parting shots In Brief

By DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Dunk a notable Perthite Sunday EMC Events - Talk about one-stop convenience, on Sunday, Sept. 9, you can return your empties and plunge a politician into the dunk tank at the same time.

It's the work of Erin White (above), the Perth Beer Store employee who last year gave up her hair to help inspire donations for Roger’s House. White and her co-workers raised $7,583.56 to support that home-away-from-home for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families.

This year’s event is part of a donate-your-empties campaign involving all the Beer Stores in the Ottawa area. But in Perth it's been enhanced with the chance to send MPP Randy Hillier into the drink, along with Perth’s deputy mayor, John Gemmell, Stan Munro from the Beer Store, and a half-dozen other Perth notables.

Empties can be donated all weekend, but the dunking happens Sunday Sept.

9 between noon and 5 p.m. across Wilson Street from the Perth Beer Store. If you need more information, call the Beer Store at 613-267-3464.

March said she wished the PSB had been granted more time to prepare a defence of

We didn’t have an opportunity to have a face-to-face with council.”

Mayor John Fenik and Deputy Mayor John Gemmell both sit on the PSB. They also voted to disband the service in late June.

“The council representatives (on the PSB), I don’t know if they reported back to you,” after PSB meetings, March said. “I feel disappointed in myself that I wasn’t more effective.”

March pointed out that the PSB was looking for savings, “and a lot of the budget savings were because we worked smarter.

Youth program seeks funds for Honduran project

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Within the Canada World Youth group currently staying in Perth, two young men exemplify the democracy we have in Canada, and how easily it can be taken away in some countries.

Bernard Clouthier, of Sherbrooke, Que., recently cast his vote by mail in the Sept.

4 Quebec provincial election.

For Honduran Maurizio Tabora, of Santa Rosa de Copan, a return to normalcy, free from the threat of a coup d’etat, would be welcome.

Because of the situation in Honduras, even though the nine Canadian CWY students are working side-by-side with nine newly-found Honduran friends, they will instead be travelling to help out in neighbouring Nicaragua.

“It was impossible for Canadians to go there,” said Clouthier, because of security concerns following the Honduran coup in 2009, the first in Latin America in about 20 years. “The Canadian government didn’t want us to go there.”

“The board was part of the process when it came time to hire a consultant,” she said, but added that she felt frozen out of things as the process continued. “I am disappointed that we could not do an independent financial analysis…

It was such a short process,” and she would have liked to have had a chance to educate the public and council.

She noted that the PSB had asked to meet with Britchford before the Legion meeting, but this did not occur because of personal reasons, and because, March recalled, “it was council’s information and they needed to know it first.

EMC News – Lana March did not go gently into that good night.

Rather, in her final appearance before Perth town council as the chair of the police services board, she raged against the winding down of the Perth Police Service (PPS).

In the middle of her presentation of the 2011 Police Service Board annual report, March questioned the police financial numbers put forward by the town’s treasurer, Lang Britchford, at a public meeting held at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion earlier this year.

“At the PSB, we worked only

on the dollar amount put forward by council,” she said.

“No one has questioned our numbers,” she added, pointing out that, by her estimation, there was very little difference between what each dwelling in Perth would save by opting for the OPP over the town’s existing service.

In her presentation, she claimed that Britchford put forward $2,957,528 as the budget for the police, whereas her numbers indicate a budget of $2,725,845 instead, a difference of $231,683.

“Why are we going with a different service provider?”

March asked.

March’s term as chair came

NEWS

Perth Courier - Your Community Newspaper

Outgoing police services board chair expresses concerns PSB From page P1

“We weren’t out to spend taxpayers money. If you go back over four years, you will see that there have been savings.”

While she said she was “disappointed” with the six-to-one decision by council to wind up the historic police department, she hastened to add, “I respect your right to make it (that decision).”

Earlier in her presentation, March presented more standard fare to be found within the pages of the annual report, including news that polling had found a 90 per cent “high sense of satisfaction” rating in

the PPS. The PPS saw 6,956 calls for service in 2011, a 20.5 per cent increase from 2010, along with handling 872 emergency 911 calls. She reported that the number of traffic violations was down, but that property crimes were up 31.6 per cent.

There were also more mischief complaints being reported, like picnic tables being thrown in rivers, but March actually saw this as positive momentum.

“How can the chief claim this as a success?” she asked rhetorically, then answering that it came from increased citizen participation, through reports. “The police can’t solve the incident if it hasn’t been reported.”

She also noted that youth crime was down 30 per cent.

Later in the meeting, after March had left, Coun. Ed McPherson, who is in favour of the switch to the OPP, recounted his recent visit to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in Ottawa.

“I asked everyone I met ‘Where are you from and who does your policing?’” said McPherson. “Almost everybody was OPP. Everybody liked OPP. Nobody liked the costs.”

At the conference, a representative from the OPP admitted to delegates “that the OPP had made mistakes” and that a report on OPP costing should

be delivered this fall.

“They recognized the problem that people had with policing costs and they know that things had to change,” McPherson said. At the same meeting, which was also attended by Bill Sornberger, Owen Sound’s chief of police, and the head researcher for AMO, all three agreed that the OPP “had had raises in excess of the costs of living and inflation. Police salaries are quite high and they have a tough job to do.”

McPherson also recounted that the conference had been told, in no uncertain terms, the reality was that, “if you have a population of less than 10,000, you won’t be able to afford a

police department.”

He noted that he would like to do an “apples to apples” comparison of the PPS and other similar police forces, and supported the mayor’s desire for a made-in-Perth OPP contract, not a templated one from Toronto.

“As a municipal politician, my goal is to save money for the municipality,” said McPherson. “I’m not giving the OPP anything more than they deserve. It makes me think that we are on the right track and that there is room for savings.”

Fenik was also in attendance at the meeting, and noted that Sornberger had joked that “his middle name was ‘Let’s make

a deal.’”

“They (the Owen Sound force) downsized, they didn’t replace employees” who had retired or left, said Fenik.

“They contracted out the communications centre.”

Coun. Jim Graff, a long-time opponent of winding down the PPS, commended March for her time leading the PSB. “I know this has been a very trying situation as far as Lana is concerned,” said Graff. “To me, she has been one of the great citizens (of Perth). (She has) a great deal of intelligence and class.”

Fenik also wished March well. “I continue to have the greatest deal of respect for Lana March,” said Fenik.

Canada World Youth visitors to return home this month From page P1

“Not all of the communities in Honduras are that way,” said Tabora. “My hometown is very safe.”

Tabora can still remember how eerie things were the day of the coup in the summer of 2009, when electricity was cut across the country, making communication extremely difficult.

“You could not even telephone,” he remembered. “It was a very strange day.”

Opponents of the country’s leftist president, who were trying to seize power, were distributing manifestos saying that he would bring socialism and communism to the country “and you will lose your houses.”

While political and military machinations played out in Tegucigalpa, the capital city, back home, things were quiet.

“In our hometown, we know each other and protect each other,” he said. “But it

was very stressful… In my opinion, it was like a class war, the rich people and the poor people. The rich people made the coup. There is the elite that controls everything.”

Interestingly, while it is no surprise that it will be Clouthier’s first time in Nicaragua, it will also be Tabora’s first time in the neighbouring Latin American country.

“It will be my first time,” Tabora said with a laugh, though he has been to Guatemala and El Salvador. “It will be a little disappointing,” he said, not to be going home and showing his homeland to his Canadian friends. “It would have been great if they could have met us in our home country. (But Nicaragua) is similar to Honduras” though Nicaragua is more flat, whereas Honduras is more mountainous.

The group, which arrived in town in July, will be leaving Perth at the end of September to travel to Nicaragua for three months, and already, their group is not only gelling, but sounding a bit like a Tower of

TOWNSHIP OF DRUMMOND/NORTH ELMSLEY

Babel.

“Now we can communicate with three languages!” said Clouthier, who will often respond in French when Tabora asks him a question in Spanish. “My goal is to do a radio interview in Spanish in Nicaragua.”

Tabora has already had his own trial by fire on air, even though the good folks at Lake 88 FM were kind to him.

“I was a bit nervous,” Tabora said.

“It (English) is not his first language, and it is not my first language either,” said Clouthier.

While the Honduran volunteers have found Perth to be very welcoming, there has been some culture shock along the way.

“For me and all of the Hondurans, it was pretty hard to adjust,” he said. “It was a very big cultural shock… I was thinking of going back to Honduras.”

“Now he is looking for a work program” to stay in Canada, joked Clouthier.

After his experiences with the program, Tabora hopes to be able to take a masters course in material flow management and international cooperation.

Even within the group, there are other differences, with the Hondurans coming from different parts of that nation, and the Canadian component coming from different parts of the confederation.

The focus of this particular group within the larger international exchange/cooperation program is on food security.

As such, the young men and women have been working at the food bank, in local gardens and green houses. “(Perth) is very different from (rural areas) we have in Honduras,” said Tabora. “This is the countryside, (but) there is a lot of business and movement here. That is a brand new thing in my life… (In Honduras) we do not work in the countryside. This is a new experience for us.”

“It’s an amazing town,” agreed Clouthier. “There is a lot to do here.”

This Canada World Youth team is working with a Honduran non-governmental organization called ASONOG, and both groups work under the motto of giving means and possibilities to communities around the world. The group has had a stall set up at the Perth Farmers’ Market for the past few Saturdays to raise money for a latrine project in the Honduran community of Belen Gualcho. They were also at the Stewart Park band shell last weekend and will be hosting a fundraising cultural evening on Sept. 15, to coincide with the day when four Latin American countries, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador, won independence from Spain.

The latrine project will benefit more than 600 families, many of whom have deteriorating or no human waste facilities at all. It is hoped that hundred hydraulic latrines will be built and there is a huge demand for more. The group is trying to raise $4,400 while in Perth, and $8,800 over all during a two-year period.

“There is a lot of water contamination (in Belen Gulacho),” said Clouthier, since the town does not even have outhouses.

“It is a health care concern.”

“It goes right into the river, and they take water right from the river,” to water crops and drink, added Tabora.

The group’s blog can be found at perthsomoto2012. blogspot.ca, and email is cwy. asonog2012@gmail.com.

DIANE: Maca is a root plant that grows in the Andean mountains of Peru. It's a very hardy plant that grows where no other crops can survive. Maca has to endure extreme conditions ranging from freezing cold winds to intense sunlight, all within a period of 24 hours.

Herbalists say that the more resilient a plant, the more valuable it is from a medicinal perspective. I couldn't agree more. I think Maca is amazing and the feedback I get from customers greatly reinforces my opinion. Maca can be helpful for many health conditions such as: stress, hormone balancing, energy and stamina, sexual potency, adrenal support, fertility, PMS, acne and Bone health.

Maca will help balance, strengthen and support any area of the body that is compromised due to mental or physical stress. The adrenal glands are among the most beleaguered glands in the endocrine system since they must endure the brunt of our emotional health on a daily basis. It's critical that the adrenals remain strong and healthy as they are heavily relied upon during menopause and times of stress. Maca tones and strengthens the adrenal glands and thus the entire body, giving us the ability to resist disease and combat stress. It is often recommended by naturopaths to increase energy and vigor in elderly patients. Maca has a positive effect on the thyroid, parathyroid and the pancreas.

Using Maca is a safe and effective way to alleviate the symptoms of menopause (hot Ă&#x20AC;ashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings and loss of libido) as well helping prevent osteoporosis. Men can beneÂżt just as much as women from the hormonal regulating effects of Maca.

Men have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;menopauseâ&#x20AC;? of their own called â&#x20AC;&#x153;andropauseâ&#x20AC;? which is characterized by a decline in testosterone or the inability to use existing testosterone. Some common symptoms include low sex drive, impotence, depression, irritability, fatigue, muscle loss and fat accumulation. The beneÂżts of Maca seem to apply to people of all ages. Teenagers have also beneÂżted from the effects on hormonal balancing and acne. Maca is the natural answer for hormonal deÂżciencies!

Maca contains a lot of easily absorbable calcium plus magnesium and silica. Just as a potato or carrot, Maca is a very safe and common food that would not interfere with medications or other supplements.

In fact, it will help the body to absorb and utilize supplements to their highest capcity. Maca has been proven to be very safe and beneÂżcial for children and animals as well. In today's world of over processed, high sugar foods and demineralized soil, it's nice for parents to know there is a highly nutritious, non-toxic alternative that has no known side effects. Maca is available in powder form as well as capsules and in the form of a dark chocolate bar. Everyone can beneÂżt from Maca!!

NEWS

Perth Courier - Your Community Newspaper

Ferguson’s Glen Tay homecoming and the New Math EMC News – Glen Tay Public School’s new principal, Steve Ferguson, brought a new collaborative math program into classrooms with him when school resumed this week.

“They did not do (a lot of) math last year, they focused on reading, which is fine,” said Ferguson during an interview in his office, with half-emptied boxes all around him, speaking of the Glen Tay Reads program, which will continue in this new school year just started.

“We don’t want to see us move away from a program that is working,” said Ferguson. “Our other focus will be math, so we will be bringing in (new) math programming,” which will focus on collaboration and critical reasoning.

The program will make for an interesting fit at a school that has split level classes from grades one to eight (ie.

Grade 1/2, Grade 3/4, etc.)

“The benefit of that is the socialization piece,” said Ferguson, with older students being able to set good examples and mentor younger students.

“The board work is focused on collaborative inquiry and I love it!”

In collaborative math enquiry, the students work in pairs to solve the math problem, to “work it through and they do not have to do it on their own…(and) you have several varying perspectives on the answer to the question” within the classroom.

Some of the answers will be right on, while others, understandably, will be way off.

But this too is part of the process, with the teacher emphasizing the right answers.

“It’s no longer me to you, sponge, soak it up,” said Ferguson of the new math style, which he says encourages students to speak for themselves. “The kids know they can share anything. They are accepting of different ideas.

There are different approaches to the right answer… They

learn from each other.”

Ferguson has seen the program in action for himself in the classroom with a somewhat timid little boy whom “you wouldn’t even know he was there.”

But then, when it came time for the little guy to share, “he took everyone on a storyline of how it was done. When he was done, everyone just went ‘Wow.’ We never would have seen how he got it without that exercise. You (also) get to see where the kids are getting distracted,” or going off onto the wrong path.

“It helps the teacher address some of the learning needs on the fly,” Ferguson added, before admitting that, as a student, he was not particularly adept at math.

“I struggled with math in elementary school and high school,” he said. “As a teacher, I was able to see those trajectories. Now I can appreciate it. (But) I know those frustrations.”

Another aspect of the new term at Glen Tay will be a dedicated room for drama, dance and art programs.

“For those kids who are not straight academic kids, this is a way to reach them,” said Ferguson, thanks in part to teacher Courtney Mason.

Ferguson was the principal at the recently close Carambeck Public School in Carleton Place from 2008 to 2012.

Before that, he worked as the principal at Pakenham Public School from 2004 to 2008, and as the vice principal at Beckwith Public School for a year prior. From 2001 to 2003, he was the vice principal at Lombardy Public School, his first administrative role after making the leap from teaching.

“I’ve taught around the area,” said Ferguson. “It almost feels like coming home.”

In fact, Glen Tay was one of the first teaching jobs he secured, and he lives in Glen Tay. “I see that as a huge benefit,” said Ferguson, whose own children attended Glen

Tay. “I’ve been in the building here as a parent. I get the parent thing. I sat in that chair too. I get it.”

Closing down Carambeck was an emotional experience, but it makes him appreciate the continuity that comes with working at a school not facing imminent closure. “(At Carambeck I was) trying to maintain a positive and forward-thinking school in a school that was closing (which) was difficult,” he said. “There was a sense of loss in that community, for certain.”

He said he is glad that he does not face the time and wish constraints placed on the principal at a school due to close, that he now faces an “atmosphere of what is possible” in his new school.

“There is a lot of possibility here,” he adds. “I’m absolutely thrilled to be here. I couldn’t have asked for a better spot.”

This month, Ferguson will do a walk-through to say hello to his former Carambeck students who are now either at Carleton Place High School or Arklan Community Public School.

“Just because I am out of town doesn’t mean I don’t want to hear how it worked out” for his former students, he said. “That will be a closure mark for me. (But) this is just a natural progression of their journey. It’s a continuity in (the) journey for me.”

Another part of the continuity is that he brought his former Carambeck secretary, Kate Nielson, along with him as Glen Tay’s new secretary.

“It’s a partnership deal, to be sure,” he said with a laugh.

“The community is going to adore her.”

Ferris leads St. John elementary’s post-reconstruction era

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Even with the recent construction at St. John Catholic Elementary School, Sheila Ferris won’t have any problems finding her way around.

As the new principal, she lived in Perth and taught at the very same school in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Her two children also attended St. John, and were baptized at the church next door, before the family moved to Carleton Place.

“I’m looking to move back here,” she said in her for-now spicand-span office.

Other parts of the school, as of late last week, looked a little less than spic and span since they only took occupancy from the construction company on Thursday, Aug. 30.

“All of us have been working really long hours,” said Ferris, on post-construction clean-up. “The priority is to have everything ready for those kids on Tuesday morning.”

She commended the construction company for doing a four-month construction project done in two months.

“We are blessed,” she said. No matter what type of construction project one is embarking upon, “it’s always nerve-wracking.”

The summer renovations included work on the first floor to make three new, full-day kindergarten “suites”, a library and resource centre. These new learning places will be complemented by the playground and outdoor learning project, spearheaded by a parent, community and school partnership program.

“The priority is to have everything ready for those kids on Tuesday morning.”

SHEILA FERRIS NEW ST. JOHN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Ferris was the principal at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place for 10 years, as well as a system principal and student success leader for about 20 years.

“It’s a wonderful tradition of faith and education here,” she said.

“They (the kids) are very well cared for.”

Ferris intends to continue stressing math skills at the school, and teaching, regardless of subject, is something that has long been a part of her life. As the only girl in a family six children, she knew early on, before she became a teenager, that she wanted to be a teacher.

“I’ve always been interested in health and fitness and ecology and the sciences,” said Ferris. “Coaching was something I got involved with as a teen” which, in hindsight, certainly was an open door leading to teaching.

She grew up in a hockey family, but she also competed in varsity track and field. She attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., for both her teacher’s college and her undergraduate degrees in sciences and physical education.

She coached basketball, track and cross-country at St. John during her earlier teaching stint here, and both of her children are active athletes.

Like many people interested in science, and also as a Catholic educator, she was fascinated by the discovery of the so-called “God Particle” this past summer, calling the developments “fascinating” not only scientifically but “also the ethics involved and the caution we need to exercise as well.”

She joked that, along with the God Particle, and the summer Olympics, “it was a very full summer.”

Ferris has been setting up her office since June, and has been seeing parents over the course of the summer.

“I’m delighted to be back in the community,” she said.

McMartin House readies for new season

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – McMartin House is learning how to carry that weight.

Starting on May 1 of this year, the centre took over as the lease holder for the historic property, where the town had carried that lease beforehand with the Ontario Heritage Trust.

“We want to be accountable,” said Brian Henderson, chair of the McMartin House’s board of directors, during a presentation to the Perth town council on Tuesday, Aug. 28.

The house reported $48,000 in revenues last year, and saw expenditures of $45,000, though Henderson, accompanied by board member Eric

Devlin, noted that $2,500 of the revenues came from the province, the town and rent money from other groups to use the facility.

“We are dependent on you (the town) to keep matching the grants from the province,” said Henderson, who also thanked council for continuing to keep the McMartin House exempt from the property tax. Otherwise, “our costs would be considerably higher,” he said.

Henderson also discussed the issue of liability insurance, noting that “those marble stairs are slippery. It’s wise to have insurance, especially if someone slips.”

He added that the centre is having to make sure it is com-

pliant with the new Ontarians with Disabilities legislation, especially since so many seniors use the building through the Perth and District Senior Craft Fellowship.

Here is a sampling of some of their activities: Line dancing, starting Oct. 15 from 9:30 to 11:45 a.m.

Yoga, Oct. 2 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

Euchre, Sept. 4 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Book club, Sept. 5 from 10 a.m. to noon.

Friendship club, Sept. 5 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Rug hooking, Sept. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m.

Scottish country dancing, Sept. 14, 9:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.

comed the decision on the Israeli product boycott.

“In a lot of congregations, it has been a national church initiative,” Wachenschwanz said. “We don’t buy stuff from there (Israel),” to start with, but he is hoping that he will soon see an official list of products to be wary of so that he does not break the boycott.

“It all filters down to us what we are supposed to do,” he said.

While he supports the decision, at a local level, “it won’t affect us hardly at all.”

He added that “unless they (parishoners) are particularly activist about it,” it has not

been a major topic of conversation at his church. For other church members, “it’s so far from the road. You certainly want justice for the Palestinians, but you also want justice for the Jewish people.”

While there has been a lot of discussion on the issue in the church hierarchy, regardless of the final decision, Wachenschwanz concedes that any decision would be difficult.

“It’s hard for us to take a stand without seeming like you’re standing against someone,” he said.

As for Paterson’s elevation, Wachenschwanz also sees it as part of a natural progression of the church marrying openly gay couples and ordaining gay ministers.

“(But) the United Church is not monolithic,” he added.

“This congregation, if anything, would celebrate it (Paterson’s election). They’d say it’s about time.”

EMC News – Local followers of the United Church are quietly approving of their church’s recent decision not to purchase products made in the Palestinian Territories.

“People seem to think that this is what the church should do,” said Rev. Mary Royal of the Almonte United Church.

Royal attended the church’s general assembly in Ottawa this past August, and before and after her return, “people were curious to hear my thoughts on that, as well as other issues.”

The church has been studying this issue for several years, and there was a working group report that was released earlier this year.

“People spoke in favour or against it,” recalled Royal.

“There was a lot of passion within the church about it.”

Some years ago, there had been talk of the church divesting itself of investments in Israeli companies and launching sanctions against Israel, but it later compromised on the less divisive action of not buying goods from the “occupied territories.”

“The difficulty comes from, in Canada, for the goods to be labeled where they are from,” said Royal, since the church has no problem with goods made in Israel proper in, say, Tel Aviv, but with goods made in the West Bank, for example. “The next step… is to try to identify for people, a product that is made in the settlements.”

She added that none of her parishioners has so far approached her about last month’s decision “but we have been in the quiet summer months” and she would not be surprised if “people would ask for a further explanation.”

There was another first for the Canadian church last month when it elected its first openly-gay moderator, Rev. Gary Paterson.

“We were really excited that Gary was going to be the moderator,” said Royal. “The passion he has… is what the

church needs.”

While his sexuality may be a first for the church, Royal sees it as part of a natural progression for the church, whose general council declared, in 1988, that sexual orientation was not a barrier to ordination as clergy.

“It wasn’t much of an issue for them, one way or the other,” said Royal of Paterson’s election. “There are so many other demands and issues on the church” to contend with, like declining attendance.

Further south in Perth, interim Rev. Donald Wachenschwanz of St. Paul’s United Church in Perth, also wel-

OPINION

Perth Courier - Your Community Newspaper

The dilemma of dementia EMC Editorial – It was a story that made headlines across the country. It is a very real, all too human tragedy on many levels.

It was revealed to the public last week that Senator Joyce Fairbairn (Liberal – Alberta) had been allowed to cast votes in the Senate on at least a dozen occasions, for more than three months after she had been declared legally incompetent on the grounds of “Alzheimer’s-type dementia.”

So, she was not permitted to enter into a contract to buy a house or sell stocks on Bay Street – and, rightly so – but someone in the Liberals’ upper brass thought it was all right for her to continue to fly under the radar and vote the party line.

This is disturbing for a number of reasons, the least of which is not because it underscores a gnawing suspicion that many people have had about both houses of parliament for quite some time. It doesn’t matter who you elect locally as it seems that maybe Pierre Trudeau was right – 50 metres from Parliament Hill, MPs and senators are nobodies.

But now, worse than that, even in their seats in Parliament, it may as well only be Stephen Harper, Thomas Mulcair and Bob Rae getting up to speak, because everyone else has been neutralized, so slavishly devoted are the powers that be to staying on message, and politicians voting the straight party line, literally being led by the hand and shown how and where to vote.

Why bother having MPs when we can just have a national referendum every four years and whoever ‘wins’ the most ridings, well, wins.

We cannot think of any good reason why Senator Fairbairn was allowed to

continue on in this fashion.

Someone in the Senate was certainly not doing her any favours, knowing of her condition, by allowing her to continue duties that she clearly was unable to carry out.

We won’t go in to the partisan reasons why the Liberals may want to hold on to the seat, pretty much the only Alberta seat they hold, but certainly, at some point, there must come a time when even a jaded, calculating politician says “enough.”

In the British Parliament, we’ve seen MPs literally wheeled in on stretchers to vote to prop up a sinking government. In the Irish Parliament, then-Labour Party leader Dick Spring had to rise from his hospital bed, his leg in a cast after a car crash, to vote, because – bucking Irish parliamentary tradition – the prime minister of the day, Charlie Haughey, refused to abstain from his vote.

This goes far beyond that however.

According to the Alzheimer Society, as our population ages, we need to come to the realization that Alzheimers and other forms of dementia will become an increasingly more common occurrence in our area, as people live longer.

It is hard enough for family members to have to sit mom or dad down to tell them that they can’t drive anymore, but even with power of attorney rights, the decision to declare a loved one incompetent is a difficult one, especially when the slide becomes so sudden and so apparent.

Work places also need ways to ease out someone who is unable to do their job because of this dreadful disease – with proper consultation with their family, union and medical staff, to protect everyone’s best interests.

Separation anxiety EMC Lifestyle - In the olden days when I was a kid in elementary school (and we had to walk uphill both ways through seven feet of snow), we always knew in June who our teacher would be in September. Correspondingly, we either had the whole summer to stew about it or we could wait in gleeful anticipation (ahem).

At my kids’ school we don’t find out in June – it’s a surprise come the first day, unless you drop by in late August (as I often have) to ask.

I am not sure why this is; it could be teacher placements and enrolments are still being sorted out over the summer.

At first I was undecided about whether it was better to know or not. With one worrywart in the family, sometimes not knowing works well. I mean, if the teacher is known and beloved, it’s great, but if unknown or known to be grumpy, it can be cause for much stewage at a time when the “dread” of returning to school is already high.

This year I discovered an advantage to waiting to find out. Learning the names of the teachers wasn’t a bad thing, but our kids know how to use telephones. In fact, they are so good at using telephones that, arguably, most people who have tried to reach Groomboy and me over the summer have gone straight to voicemail. Thank goodness for cell phones that the children are not authorized to use.

Past Deadline Anyway, the short ones get on the phone with their friends and compare notes, and then the potential for drama starts.

Boychild, being older and wiser, does not at the moment of this writing seem overly fazed by the fact some of his friends aren’t in the same class as he is. Hopefully that’s because he is realizing that the time for copious socializing is usually not in the classroom.

(Harhar.) That all said, once Tuesday rolls around and reality sets in, this may be a very different story.

Already we have learned that Girlchild and her Very Bestest Friend are in different classes. VBF’s mother and I exchanged a flurry of e-mails last week to discuss where we would hide once this information was revealed. Diva Drama seems to be much more intense than Boy Drama, which lingers and cloys as opposed to drilling screeching needles

into one’s brain.

Girlchild was less than thrilled with the news, which we decided to break ahead of time. The good thing is the advance notice allowed VBF’s Mom and me some time to strategize ways to ensure the girls still get plenty of hangout time. We, too, recognize the classroom isn’t the best place for that kind of chitchat anyway.

It also gave me time to supply tales of woe about my own VBF going to an entirely different school across town when I was Girlchild’s age, and then she moved across the province. We wrote letters for a kazillion years and eventually reconnected on Facebook. (The Interwebs can be a mahvellous thing.)

I also remember Grade 7, when friends were separated by split classes and passed notes to one another in a textbook that had to be shared between the two rooms (the split class was one book short).

I didn’t bother sharing that story (so don’t tell!) for fear Girlchild and VBF will come up with some sort of elaborate communication plan. I suppose these days, notes are passed via texting. We’re not quite there yet, fortunately.

Anyway, by the time you read this, all the various shoes – and possibly grand pianos – will have dropped and, if we’re lucky, any residual drama will have passed. If not, there may be a part two to this story...

Don’t legislate, negotiate with teachers: reader (This letter was sent to Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington Progressive Conservative MPP Randy Hillier, a copy of which was provided to The Perth Courier for publication.)

Dear Mr. Hillier; I am a retired public elementary teacher who lives in your riding. This government has betrayed teachers and

other educators by introducing legislation that will tear up their collective agreements and attack their collective bargaining rights.

The Liberal party did not get a mandate in the last election to do this. In fact, prior to the election, Premier Dalton McGuinty told the ETFO (Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario) at their annual

meeting that he would never tear up agreements.

I know the government is facing a large deficit. It is not fair, though, to target public sector employees as the only means to reduce that deficit.

Pay cuts to teachers and other public sector workers will further dampen consumer spending and economic recovery.

My former teacher col-

leagues (as well as retired teachers who volunteer in schools and who tutor), work hard to ensure that our students benefit from one of the best education systems in the world.

Studies show that governments can’t implement educational reforms unless the teaching profession is on side.

By attacking teachers and

their hard-won salaries and benefits through this legislation, the Liberal government is throwing away the goodwill it fostered among educators over the past decade.

The teachers’ union has always been willing to participate in meaningful discussions with the government to reach a fair and reasonable framework for negotiating

local collective agreements. I have personal experience in this regard, having served on negotiating teams in the past.

The union has indicated its intent to negotiate in good faith with local boards. Vote against the legislation. Uphold collective bargaining rights.

Sincerely, Gail Thomas Perth

Reader commends “amazing” boys for food bank fundraiser I am sending this letter because I have had the privilege of meeting two 10 year-old boys from Perth, who are doing an amazing thing and I feel they deserve to be acknowledged.

I was walking over in the subdivision behind the hospital here in town on Monday, Aug. 20 and I came across the boys.

They had set up a cold drink stand in the little park in the subdivision and were selling cold drinks to raise money for the Perth and District Food Bank (now The Table).

They were also planning

a little fun fair on Aug. 26 with games and prizes, and any money they raised they are donating.

I mentioned to the boys that they are fine young boys, well on their way to becoming fine young men that their parents would be proud of.

The boys names are Ian Grist, and Adrian Kennedy.

They are both 10 years old.

Hopefully the boys will see themselves in print for this fine adventure they took on themselves to take.

EMC News - The Town of Perth Police Services Board (PSB) is pleased to announce that Stephanie Gray has been selected as the new PSB chair.

“I am looking forward to the challenge of chairing the police services board during this transition period, recognizing we have a lot of work to do over the next several months,” she said.

Mayor John Fenik says he feels that the “Police Services Board is in good hands with Mrs. Gray at the helm, and with the support of the other experienced PSB members

the police governance function will be carried out in accordance with both tradition and with the Police Services Act.” Gray said she is honoured to be selected by her colleagues on the board.

“It is with great pride that I follow in the footsteps of the former board chair, Lana March, whose leadership set a standard for future board chairs to emulate.”

Gray said that there is a “significant learning curve for all of us, and communication between all of the stakeholders is going to be an extremely important part of the transition to the OPP. At the same time,

we continue to have a responsibility to ensure excellent police service is provided to the community, so the board will be working closely with Chief Pat Capello to do so.”

Gray stated that it is her goal to ensure that the lines of communication are open between the PSB, Police Association and the Town of Perth as we navigate the challenges of 2012 and beyond.

“I would also like to acknowledge March, who devoted countless hours on the Perth Police Services Board.

She has been an excellent role model and I personally learned a great deal from her.

We wish her all the best.”

Waiting for the spirit to move the paint brush

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Photos by DESMOND DEVOY

Above, Christian artist Brenda Wright with her work “The Promise,” based on scripture from the book of Genesis. Below, she explains some of her more abstract techniques. the creative arts means that Wright’s group begins its creative journey every week by delving in to spiritual music at the start of each session, “seeking the Lord first through inspirational music… and we pray and we listen.”

Then, it’s time to paint, with a literal, and mental, blank canvas.

“We often have nothing in mind when we start… We go to our blank canvas and we just paint, and it’s sometimes scary, you say, ‘Is this us?’

But it is us,” she said. “We will just know the direction we are going in. We are often surprised.”

Most of the art works are accompanied by a write-up to explain which Bible verse or story inspired it, or what the painting is about.

“It’s not saying that this has to be the interpretation,” said Wright. “It’s open to the viewer’s interpretation.”

She adds that she is often

surprised by the interpretation of viewers, as they often see something that the artist themselves did not see.

In her painting “The Promise,” based on the scripture Genesis 15:5 (“And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.”) about God’s promise to Abraham, her husband saw something that she, who had painted the work, had not.

“My husband, he’s my critic,” she said.

One evening, as she was cleaning up after working on the painting, he came down to look at how her piece was progressing. Looking closely at the canvas, he noticed that there appeared to be a face evident in the mountains in the background. He pointed it out to his wife and she made some changes to the face’s

outline to make it a little more pronounced.

“Someone else was helping us with this painting,” she said, since the light emanating from Heaven, “is going through the face of Christ, in the profile on the mountain.”

One does not have to be a regular churchgoer, or be familiar with biblical scripture, to appreciate the art work. The stars in “The Promise” for example, are expertly done.

“To a lot of people, it won’t mean anything to them, but to others who are familiar with scripture, they will,” she said.

Wright will have six pieces in the show, and one, “Cross Fire” is more abstract and not directly related to scripture, but does draw on the Christian iconography of the cross.

The abstract piece shows an arrow, pointing down, within a crossbow.

“It’s a crossbow, but the cross is the central element,” she said. “It just came about.”

Art can be a very personal medium, and for many people, professing their faith in a public setting can be a daunting, even frightening experience.

With this art show, Wright is aware that she will be not only exposing her artistic vision, but also, through her works, her inner spiritual self too.

“It was an inner battle to take that step,” she sighed.

“I know this is a compelling step. But why keep it confined to your studio?”

While she admits to a few opening night jitters, she sees the show as a chance “to be another voice for God’s message.

There is enough preaching and enough ‘Thou shalt nots’” going on. “We wanted to show His beauty.”

The show is open to both the devout, as well as those with doubts.

“We don’t want to be so inyour-face,” she said. “We are not going to force something on anyone.”

She also promises that she is willing to engage in a civilized dialogue with anyone about her works during the show.

“We want to show our faith through art,” she said.

The Prophetic Arts Group’s art show and sale, sponsored by the Oak Lane Studio, will be held at the Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church, 160 Wayside Dr., Perth, in the “overflow room,” on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. An art demonstration is scheduled for 1 p.m.

EMC News – Perhaps taking a cue from the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, the inaugural showing of works of the Prophetic Arts Group at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church on Sept.15 will certainly rival the landmark for divinely-inspired art work.

For the last five years, the Prophetic Arts Group has met at the Oak Lane Studio, located in the basement of Brenda Wright’s house, every Wednesday afternoon.

“This little group came together just to paint together, a group of friends from church,” said Wright, with an emphasis on what is called prophetic painting; work that is either divinely inspired, or draws inspiration from biblical passages, but which is not always overtly spiritual.

(One painting Wright was in the midst of painting was called “Heavenly Assent” but with many golden staircases poking out from within heavenly clouds, surrounding a cathedral, she admits that she did toy with the idea of calling it “Stairway to Heaven.”)

The art works also range from abstract and semi-abstract, to traditional representational to a range of media from oil, water colour and acrylic.

“It (prophetic) is a biblical term, but it is not strictly a biblical term,” she said. “(It is) foretelling, as in, what is to come. In our sense, it is more foretelling through our art the message of God.” This past weekend, Wright attended a similar prophetic art show at St. Barnabas’ Anglican Church in Deep River, Ont. “They are doing something very similar to what we are doing,” she said. While art is very much a part of the Deep River show, it has expanded in to drama, dance and other artistic outlets. “This (the Perth show) is on a much smaller scale,” as it is still in its first year.

“I hope to model it (the Perth show) after that,” she said of the Deep River show.

More retirees are getting schooled these days Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the perks of being comfortably retired after years spent building a career and raising a family, you now have the luxury of making personal choices.

Like heading back to school to develop new skills, reawaken a life-long dream, explore new interests or to learn just for the pure joy of it.

Every education choice has a cost. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why your retirement plan should include the funding that will allow you to return to the classroom. Here are a few options to get you going back to school: Expand your RRSP eligible investments You already know that a balanced, retirementfunding investment strategy should include Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) eligible investments, the best taxdeferred, retirement-savings builder for most Canadians.

Consider expanding your RRSP investment strategy to provide a money source for the extra costs of your return to education.

Borrow from your RRSP Through the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP), you can withdraw up to $20,000 from your RRSP eligible investments for qualifying forms of training and

Manage Your Money education. But this is an option you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to rush into because you are required to repay your LLP withdrawals within a 10year period or they become taxable and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also lose the signiďŹ cant tax-deferred growth those savings could have provided if left inside your RRSP for those 10 years. Repayments cannot be made after the end of the year in which you turn 71, so if you still have a balance at that time, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to pay tax on it.

Establish a TFSA Any Canadian over 18 can save up to $5,000 a year in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) eligible account.

TFSA contributions are not tax-deductible but the investment earnings are tax-sheltered and taxes are not applied to withdrawals.

Could be a good way to save for your education expenses.

Establish your own RESP People of any age can beneďŹ t from the taxdeferred savings offered by a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) eligible investments although, as an older student, you will not receive the added beneďŹ t

of the Canadian Education Savings Grant* and other government grants that are available only to younger plan beneďŹ ciaries. Still, you may be in a lower tax bracket when you make your withdrawals to go back to school, so the tax deferral may result in you paying less tax than you would if you had invested outside the RESP.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Table Community Food Centre (formerly the Perth and District Food Bank) held another round of free haircuts on Monday, Aug. 20.

This time the focus was on kids and getting ready for backto-school. Hairdressers Brenda Dube and The Curly Redheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amy and Emily offered up more than 15 haircuts to both kids and adults.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perth council celebrated the good relations between town and gown last week with cake and proclamations.

First, Mayor John Fenik was belatedly commended by his council with a cake for being named Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alumni of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was quite an honour,â&#x20AC;? said Fenik, of his big moment before 500 graduates on centre ice at Scotiabank Place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It was) one of the highlights of my life.â&#x20AC;?

Coun. Beth Peterkin reminded the assembled of some of the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice to the graduates, which is still appropriate to remind students of at this time of year as they return to class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you commit to something, commit to it with

your whole being,â&#x20AC;? said Peterkin, quoting the class of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;81 student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop learningâ&#x20AC;Ś Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask the question why, ask the question, why not. Look after the most vulnerable,â&#x20AC;? and also, â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an idea vampire.â&#x20AC;?

Fenik was not the only person connected to Algonquin to be feted at the town council meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 28, with the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Perth campus principal Robert C. Gillett being given his own day on Thursday, Aug. 30.

The celebrations did not end at town hall there though, with the public gallery filled with LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered) committee of Lanark County members and their supporters on hand to applaud the declaration of Saturday, Sept. 22 as Pride Day in the town of Perth.

You meant so very much to us Your heart was kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you The special years will not return When we were all together But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever.

The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way

DOBSON, Archie September 3, 1990; Dear husband, father & grandfather, Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear, Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember him who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear.

Always and forever in our hearts Fran, Tammy, Shannon & Douglas

GUERARD - In memory of my family.

Mother: Margaret (July 12, 1998) Father: John (February 6, 1999) Sister: Maureen (August 26, 1987) In the lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are ever near, God alone knows how we miss you, As there dawns another year.

Someone at dawn and noontideSomeone at dusk and night, Lifts you to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe keepingTrust you in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear sight.

Always remembered, Never forgotten Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 25 years Maureen and it seems like just yesterday.

Paul and Family

MOORE, Lorna In loving memory of our dear sister who passed away three years ago, September 7, 2009.

No one knows how much we miss you, No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered, since we lost you Life has never been the same.

In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly tender, fond and true, There is not a day, dear sister, That we do not think of you.

Fifth annual Developmental Services of Leeds and Grenville Awards

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News - On Wednesday, Aug. 15, two 2012 DSLG Student Awards were presented to students Jennifer Pettem and Keitha Quigley by executive director Geoff McMullen to assist in their university and college studies.

These awards are given each year to students pursuing postsecondary education and reside primarily within Leeds and Grenville.

The criterion is that those applying are to be registered in a program related to the field of developmental disabilities.

The recipient of the $750, a first year student going into a program for developmental service worker, child youth worker, early childhood education, social service worker or behaviour science technology was Keitha Quigley from Brockville, formerly of Athens.

She will be entering the child youth worker program at St. Lawrence College.

“Throughout my childhood I’ve wanted to pursue a career around people,” said Quigley. “Working with people and helping them to have the life that they deserve and guiding them down the right path is something that I’m passionate about.”

She believes that people can be whatever they want to be regardless of how their life is now.

Another award for $1,000 went to an individual in a graduate program registered at a recognized university working towards the studies in B.A.A. behavioural psychology, Bachelor of Arts in early childhood education, social work, speech pathologist, occupational therapy, physiotherapy or nursing which was Jennifer Pettem.

Pettem is registered in a social science program at McMaster University.

This past summer Pettem was one of about a dozen students hired at Developmental Services of Leeds and Grenville, (DLSG).

EMC

She worked with adolescent groups as well as younger individuals.

“Some of the things that influenced my decision were teaching children to figure skate, peer tutoring high school students, and taking grade 11 and grade 12 psychology, sociology and anthropology courses.”

Pettem feels working at DSLG has helped her gain further experience in this field.

“My goal is to obtain my bachelor of social work,” indicated Pettem. “I also intend to acquire my Master’s degree in social work as well.”

The remaining award of $1,000 was for a first year student in a recognized university entering the same program as the graduate program above.

Unfortunately this year no one applied for the first year student award.

Congratulations ladies!

EMC - Your Community Newspaper NEWS Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup data in Ontario reveal high shoreline litter levels

EMC News – With only two weeks to go until the 2012 Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, presented by Loblaw Companies Limited, a new analysis of last year’s shoreline cleanup data in Ontario uncovers the startling nature and extent of litter collected along the province’s waterways. The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a direct action conservation initiative of the Vancouver Aquarium and WWF. Shoreline Cleanup participants in Ontario collected high

numbers of harmful litter items last year – including plastic bags, cigarettes, and beverage bottles – which reflects a high level of volunteer involvement, but also points to a great need for more support during this year’s cleanup, taking place from Sept.

15 – 23. Of the 1,194 total Ontario shoreline sites available for cleanups, only 456 (or 38 per cent) of them currently have volunteer support.

“No matter what it is, or where it is found, shoreline litter poses a huge threat to the

livelihood of surrounding wildlife and communities,” says Jill Dwyer, program manager of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. “From leaching harmful chemicals into the water, to entangling animals, the negative impact of shoreline litter is far-reaching.”

Analysis of last year’s data collected for Ontario also reveal that: • Total shoreline distance cleaned in the province spanned 1,014.3 km – equivalent to driving to and from Toronto and

Montreal.

• Total weight of litter removed amounted to 41,918 kg – the equivalent weight of 21 Steller sea lions.

• Unusual litter items discovered included a wedding dress, pay phone, hospital bed, and a swimming pool.

“Without a doubt, shoreline litter is a major problem faced by today’s oceans – but it is an issue we can do something about,” says Alex Mifflin, who, along with his brother Tyler, are Great Canadian Shoreline

Cleanup Champions and hosts of the eco-adventure TV series ‘The Water Brothers’ on TVO. “From the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay, the more volunteers who sign up for this fall’s cleanup, the more muscle we can put behind efforts to help preserve the health of our shorelines, communities, and animal life.”

This fall from Sept. 15-23, Ontario’s shorelines need your help to remain healthy for the local communities and wildlife that depend on them. To learn more, or to sign up as a site co-

ordinator or participant, register at www.ShorelineCleanup.ca.

The ABCs of packing a Kid-able lunch for young children Nutrition Tips

EMC Lifestyle - Many parents feel anxious about making lunches when their children are starting kindergarten or in primary grades.

Whether or not your child will eat their packed lunch at school is not about the recipe you used. Children only have a short time to eat, which can be hard with many distractions around.

Read on to find ways to help your child make the most of meal and snack time.

What if they won’t eat breakfast before going to school?

Set the pattern early of waking at a certain time and that breakfast happens every day. When they are used to this, it will happen much more easily when school starts. Offer favourite foods in small

amounts – yogurt + fruit, half a sandwich, or leftovers make a great morning meal. Even if a child is eating at the bus stop or on the way to school, breakfast gives children the fuel that they need to hit the road and start a productive school day.

Foods they’ll eat • Small sized and finger foods.

Sandwiches cut into quarters, pre-cut vegetables and fruit, cheese cubes, mini pitas stuffed with cheese and hummus, quesadilla triangles, rolled up wraps cut into circles, are all easier for little fingers to handle.

• Fruits that don’t need peeling, like apples, or are easy to peel, like bananas.

Or take the peel off in advance (e.g., oranges).

• Foods that look like

food. Some items can be considered a toy and end up being played with and take up time during the short lunch break, like dinosaur cheese or animal crackers.

• Favourite leftovers. A favourite meal from the night before is a great meal for school too. Use a thermos to keep foods warm, children will also eat foods cold (e.g. pizza, spaghetti, chicken).

Make it Kid-able • Use food-savers that kids can open themselves, with easy to lift tabs so they don’t spend lunch time trying to get into their food or waiting for someone to help.

• Pack items that don’t

Walk your PAWS for LAWS Sept. 23 in Carleton Place

By MARLA SHOOK mshook@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Save a life with every step during Walk your Paws for LAWS, a first ever walkathon, Sept. 23.

This emergency fundraiser, which is intended to become a yearly event, is hoped to bring in $10,000 needed dollars for the shelter. Registration commences at 9 a.m. that morning and the walk begins at 10 a.m. There are 2, 5, and 10 kilometre routes with prizes for top fundraisers and some fun prizes thrown in

there for good measure as well. The day is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Carleton Place Arena.

Water and refreshments will be made available along each route. And once again, all funds raised will go directly to the LAWS animals. For further details or pledge forms, visit www.lanarkanimals.ca.

This event will take place rain or shine.

A silent auction is planned and efforts are underway to schedule some entertainment that day. The

shelter is striving to have at least 200 people take part, with or without their furry friends.

“This is a chance for citizens to help and support (the shelter),” said Robynne Eagan, who is helping with the organization of the event.

School groups, businesses, families and individuals are encouraged to take part.

need to be opened to be eaten.

Single-serving items, such as small bags of crackers or sealed cheese portions, take extra time to open which takes away from eating time.

• Containers that they can drink out of easily. Avoid juice boxes if they can’t get the straw in themselves, and use easy to open re-useable drink bottles instead.

• Stick to serving sizes that are kid-friendly.

Smaller portions of food will be more appealing (and less wasteful).

• Get them to help pack their own lunch bag. Set the foods out, and get them to pack so they know what to look forward to and learn

how to pack a lunch at the same time.

What if they don’t eat all their lunch?

Keep the serving sizes small and let their appetite guide how much they eat. Choose foods that are familiar to them- introduce new foods at home rather than a child’s lunchbox.

Small portions of food will be more appealing (and less wasteful). Offer the rest as a snack after they get home.

Expect that a few lunches and suppers get missed as they adjust.

Remember… Keep hot things hot and cold things cold. Stock up on freezer packs and a kid-friendly thermos (small and easy to open). Find out more on keeping foods safe at: http://www.healthunit.org/ foodsafety/

Many schools have Student Nutrition Programs that offer healthy breakfast, lunch or snack programs for all students free of charge.

For more information, or to become involved, contact your school or visit: www. uclc.ca for Lanark schools www.n4klg.com for Leeds/ Grenville schools.

Juno winners, MonkeyJunk, return to Perth

R0011602502_0906

EMC Entertainment - It's been a busy year for Ottawa's super trio MonkeyJunk. In January, the band took home another three Maple Blues Awards including Matt Sobb's second consecutive Drummer of The Year honour and Album of The Year for their 2011 release To Behold. To date, the trio has won 12 Maple Blues Awards in four years. When asked about the band's success in such a short amount of time, guitarist Tony D said: “Well, I think we've found a unique sound and that has made people take notice of the band. People were ready for something new when we came along.”

Shortly thereafter, they embarked on a tour of the American Northeast as support for Floridian swamp rockers JJ Grey and Mofro. “We were playing big rooms with Mofro. There must have been 1,000 people each night. Getting that kind of exposure is really helpful in breaking into the US scene,” said front man Steve Marriner.

In February, MonkeyJunk was nominated for a Juno Award in the category of Blues Album of The Year for To Behold. As luck would have it, this year's Juno Awards were hosted in Ottawa, providing plenty of media limelight for the hometown heroes. The band took part in several JunoFest events including the

Juno Cup. The Juno Cup is a charity hockey game that pits musicians versus former NHL players while raising money for Musicounts - a charity that helps acquire musical instruments and place them in Ontario schools. Both Matt Sobb and Steve Marriner suited up for Team Rockers.

“We got to skate with legends like Paul Coffey and hang out with (CBC announcer) Ron MacLean. Both Steve and I have played hockey since we were kids, so the whole event was like a dream come true,” said drummer Matt Sobb.

Indeed the dream was brought to life when MonkeyJunk was awarded the Juno for Blues Album of The Year.

“At first I felt relieved because we had so many people rooting for us and I didn't want to disappoint them. Most of all, I just felt proud that all our hard work has been recognized at such a high level,” said Marriner.

After the excitement of the Junos, the boys set sail for France for a two-week tour that brought them to all corners of the country. Highlights included staying in an honest-to-goodness castle, The Chateau Marcay in the Chinon region and performing in a church built in the 13th Century in the town of Le Buis.

MonkeyJunk will play at the Perth Studio Theatre on Sept. 14.

Tony D said: “Le Buis was so old! When we came into town, it looked like something out of a (war) movie.

You could almost imagine the tanks coming over the hills!"

After a busy summer festival season that included sets at The Montreal Jazz Festival, RBC Ottawa Bluesfest, Thunder Bay Blues Festival, Edmonton Folk Music Festival, New York State Blues

Festival and the Stewart Park Festival in Perth, the "simian songsters" are excited to return to Perth on Friday, Sept.

14 at the Studio Theatre.

Sobb is especially looking forward to these shows. “We have a strong connection to the Valley - our latest album was recorded in Almonte and The Stewart Park Festival was one of the best gigs of the whole summer. The crowd

With a cross-Canada tour coming up in the fall and a new album in the works, MonkeyJunk is showing no signs of slowing down. As for what we can expect from the upcoming Perth show, Marriner

had this to say: “Something old, something new, something borrowed and definitely blue!”

EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ryan Finnigan knows what a difference a second can make.

Actually, make that two one-hundreths of a second.

Motocross racer Finnigan tried to qualify for the Pro National at Sandy Lea on Sunday, Aug. 19, the first qualifier on the line, which he missed by three on the first qualifier, when he went down on the back section pretty hard, suffering a minor concussion.

However, Finnigan decided to try his luck in an LCQ (last chance qualifier), which his father Rick described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;eight bikes, two go in, six go home.â&#x20AC;?

It was on this final stretch that he felt the agony of coming so very near, and losing out by such a small margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, we just stayed and watched racing,â&#x20AC;? afterwards, said Rick.

Last weekend, Sept. 1 to 3, the duo went to the Pro-National MMPs in Madoc, Ont. He entered in the 250 class youth open class, for riders aged 14 to 24.

Amongst the sponsors for Ryan are Centre Wire Industries of Perth, Leisure Days

RV Centre, and Black Knight Roofing of Perth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next year, we will be back there,â&#x20AC;? said Rick.

EMC Events - Canadian Federation of University Women – Perth and District (CFUW) is about to launch a new year with a roster of programs and events to whet the interest of everyone.

Won’t you join us?

CFUW is an organization of women, linked regionally, nationally and internationally, promoting quality education, participation in public affairs concerning justice, human rights, social and environmental issues, and the improvement in the status of women and girls, – all in an atmosphere of fun, friendship and cooperation. Membership is open to women who support the goals of CFUW, and have earned a degree or professional designation.

More information about us can be accessed at our website www.cfuw-perth-district.com or from the Membership committee chair at cfuw.perth.membership@gmail.com.

First on this fall’s agenda is the annual potluck supper – Monday Sept. 17, at 6 p.m. at the Perth Legion, which all members eagerly anticipate - new members can learn all about our local CFUW, meet our friendly members, sign up for any of 16 various interest groups (bridge, hiking, gourmet dinner group, advocacy, travel, languages etc) learn about the various community volunteer and fundraising projects undertaken.

These projects provide monies for our educational awards to women who are furthering their schooling ($17,500 awarded this spring), and for support to literacy initiatives and reading programs in local elementary schools, and Historica Fair. There are many opportunities to volunteer time and talent to the various projects in which CFUW Perth and District participates or sponsors. One of our main fundraising activities is the Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour to be held this year on Dec,1 and 2 – mark it on your calendar.

Exciting and informative future meetings include the Oct. 15 program with well known local historian Susan Code and Perth’s Mayor John Fenik talking about “The Heart of Perth: Past and Future” and also Irene Spence who will describe the important role of Alexander Fraser, from the Perth area, in the War of 1812. Information on future meetings will be publicized in the media and can also be accessed from our website’s Calendar of Events. Meetings generally are held the third Monday of each month, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Perth Legion.

Tutors have successful summer at Perth, District Union Library EMC News - As the summer comes to a close, the literacy tutors at the Perth and District Union Public Library get to pat themselves on the back after another wildly successful summer.

We’ve all been working very hard and it has been extremely rewarding to see the fruits of our labour.

For the past 23 years, the library has offered one-onone literacy tutoring to the children in the Perth area.

When the program began, it consisted of only volunteers and fewer than 20 children.

This year we hired seven fulltime tutors and enrolled 106 children, all of whom come to the library for one hour every day for a two-week period.

During these two weeks, the tutors focus directly on the areas that children are finding difficult in their reading.

We employ many different strategies that would most benefit the child and further their knowledge. Some of the most common methods that we use are the Jolly Phonics, the Montessori method, and a program called Reading Reflex, as well as many other techniques.

All of these approaches have brought forth great success for the children who attend the program.

Using a variety of approaches allows us to customize the tutoring to each indi-

vidual child, taking into account different learning styles and personalities.

While the children come to learn, we also make the library a fun and exciting environment that keeps children both enthusiastic and eager to return.

The reason our program is so beneficial is because they receive one-on-one attention.

Children are able to flourish when they see that someone is solely devoted to their learning and gives them such direct attention.

At the library, we move at the children’s pace and focus on those areas that need improvement.

It is for this reason that the program has received such uplifting praise from local parents and teachers since its origin. Even better than that is seeing children who were reluctant to read or use the library become regular visitors, checking out stacks of books.

This program would not be possible if it were not for our generous sponsors.

Chief among these is Jim Noble, who, over the past eight years has hosted a benefit golf tournament with all proceeds being donated to the literacy program.

This year alone, the golf tournament raised an astounding $24,000. We also have numerous other amazing sponsors – including many local

service clubs and businesses - who have not only made our program possible but have improved it in countless ways.

To all our sponsors, I thank you most appreciatively.

Many thanks must also be given out to the area teachers.

For years they have given extremely helpful outlines of exactly what the tutors should focus on with each individual child, and these greatly assist the child’s overall experience at the library.

This year, the tutors also received additional job training from some wonderful educators, and I speak for all of us when saying that the strategies we learned were beneficial and used frequently. For all your time and support, thank you.

I am currently finishing my third year as a literacy tutor and first as the program coordinator. I have seen first-hand the difference this program makes in the lives of the attendees.

Reading is a necessary skill that affects every area of a child’s life and through this program, many children have received the time and attention they require to expand their knowledge. It is remarkable that we live in an area that offers such an amazing program.

Religion Today sense of the craziness of the pace of life, seemingly out of control, compared to the easy flow of the more controlled stretches of water. Yet it’s the slower movement of the river that lets one relax and take in the natural beauty in front of you… the remarkable rock formations resulting from years of running water, to appear almost wall like… the trees… 60 feet way up there, the subtle variations in the vegetation… the size, the shapes, the colours… ALL by the same ‘author’ or ‘artist’!

But it’s really the beauty of the moment that actually makes the presence of God felt, being at the mercy of the flow and terrain of the river.

It’s very much like the message God would like us to understand in this place... He

very much would like to be at the centre of our life and all it’s decisions... just like the flow of the water is controlling our movement along the path of the river, God wants this kind of impact in our lives... as long as are willing to give it to Him. Our kids quickly realized that trying to resist the river created lots of struggle, but in this case, the smoothness of the ride was in ‘surrendering’ to the flow of the river.

This has to be the most ironic thing about God’s creation.

He made us in the image and likeness of Himself, yet He gave us free will. Why? Because He wanted a relationship with us by our choosing to want it, as opposed to being given all the answers to life as a “finished product.”

What is the value of a relationship that is already in place, where no development of an intimate relationship needs to take place? It’s hard to imagine that there is any room for growth if the relationship is in its final state... if it’s complete.

And now the river once again reveals a parallel to our life - there is a beginning and an end. Unlike our river run, where we can see where our journey begins and ends, our life’s ends are not so easily determined.

Yet there is hope in seeing our way through the One, central to our journey, who is “the way, the truth and the light... come, follow me!”

EMC Events - On Sept. 11 the world famous "Les Jardins de Quatre Vents" will be coming to the Perth and District Horticultural Society. Debbie Lytle will be our speaker and our guide through the presentation about these fabulous gardens.

If you haven't heard of Quatre Vents, they are the private gardens developed by Francis Cabot and the Cabot family and are located in La Malbaie, Quebec. The gar-

dens have overcome the area's cool northern climate to become a vision of astounding botanical bounty. The 20-acre estate was developed from the 1930s to the 1970s by the Cabot family and are considered by many to be the finest gardens in Canada.

Lytle is an OHA judge and received her Garden Clubs of Ontario Judging accreditation at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington. This should be a wonderful pre-

sentation so please join us at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 11 in the library of the Perth and District Collegiate Institute. Nonmembers are always welcome and are asked to pay $3 at the door.

Why not consider membership in the PDHS? It is only $10 per year and includes interesting monthly speakers, a beautiful yearbook, flower shows, outings and is a great way to meet new friends.

EMC Lifestyles - The end of August is near and “the lazy, hazy days of summer” have just about evaporated for another year. Looking back on these days of summer, I reflect on a family camping trip to the Elora Gorge campground. Even with newly wed spouses in tow, our extended family was situated next to a 60’ drop-off.

For six days, spread over three sites along the gorge, we enjoyed each other’s company, made meals together and sat around the campfire telling stories and reminiscing about family and friends.

We also took the opportunity to explore not only the unique villages surrounding the conservation camping area, but the hiking trails near the gorge and, of course, the highlight of the trip … shooting the gorge in a large inner tube!

A special insight emerged while floating down the Elora Gorge … it’s a wonderful way to remember the Creator of the Universe.

The pace of the flow water is enough to allow one to wander in thought and wonder in awe at the beauty of the amazing natural wonders God has created, if we’d just take the time to appreciate it. It’s moments like these that we too easily miss or dismiss as wasting time that plagues our hi-speed culture!

The contrast of moving rapidly through the short sections of rapids gives one a
