Corporate travelers, tourists and area residents had already begun to notice or hear about the changes happening at the 82 Peter St., Perth and next week, the public is invited to come see the changes for themselves. An investment group, comprised of the Saumure, Brownlee and Hinton families, purchased the property in December, 2011 and began the process and renovations to become a Best Western Plus.

Many very good decisions have been made (that) will allow us to be a great asset to the area and be a leader in the hospitality and spa segment.

Retro 80s dance party to benefit Interval House – get your tickets now By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca
EMC Events - Get your tickets now for the Retro 80s Dance Party in support of Lanark County Interval House. Pre-ticket sales are being encouraged for the event which will take a blast into the past to help change the future. The future of Lanark County Interval House that is – as they face a deficit of $59,000. The retro dance is set for Oct. 20, 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Carleton Place Arena. And costumes are encouraged, so dust off those sparkle gloves, be proud to don your neon and reinvigorate that side ponytail. Costume contests will be held and prizes will be given out. There will also be door prizes, and raffles throughout the night, which will feature music by DJ Jack Denovan and a late lunch at 11 p.m. “We strongly believe in what they (Lanark County Interval House) do,” said Lisa Occomore from Valley Granite and Tile. The local business is sponsoring and organizing this fundraiser in partnership with LCIH. “They provide an opportunity to find freedom,” she explained LCIH also supports and empowers the women who have to use their services, through the journey they have to undertake. “It’s an amazing group they have there,” she commented of LCIH, saying her family has a history with the organization, and has had to utilize the services of LCIH in the past. As mentioned, it is important to get your tickets ahead of time for this night of fun. To get your tickets ($20 each) ahead of the event, please visit Valley Granite and Tile (127 Bridge St., Carleton Place), 613-4922522 or email brianne@lcih. com. This is a mixed party, however those attending must be 19 years of age and older to attend. Local businesses and individuals have been generous thus far with donations to aid in putting the event on, as well as with prizes for the various events that night. Those wishing to make a donation may

EMC Events – Carleton Place for the last five years has hosted Lanark County Interval House’s Take Back the Night march. Recently local residents (women, children and men) and politicians turned out with their banners and noisemakers to demand that a woman’s right to walk the streets safely be upheld. The march followed a rally in the park behind the Carleton Place Town Hall. still do so by calling the number provided above. All donations for the event are “100 per cent appreciated.” In order to support LCIH there are a number of fundraising events planned for the weeks to come. Tarot sessions and Henna Decoration will be taking place at Angels Roost for LCIH, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tarot experts Ann Gratton and Lise Guignard will provide Tarot readings and henna decorations or both for those who choose. Just one week later, Saturday, Nov. 3, the 24th annual Women’s Fair takes place at the Carleton Place Arena. Admission is free. There will be plenty of vendors for those who attend to both treat themselves and get a start on their Christmas shopping. From jewelry to clothing, fitness to beauty, financial consultants to preserves and baked treats, there will be lots to peruse. Prizes, a raffle, silent auction, gift bags and more are all on the agenda. Also on Nov. 3 is a Fashion Show Wine and Cheese, but reservations are required by Oct. 12. The Dazzling Diamond Divas of the Crown Jewels of Canada Society and the Shopping Sherpas of the Red Hat
Society are putting this event on, which takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Carleton Place Legion, 177 George Street. There is limited seating. For information on rsvping please email to dazzlingdiamonddivasofcp@ gmail.com or shopping.sherpas@gmail.com or phone Sandra Dormer at 613-253-1774. All proceeds will be going to LCIH. Those who have attended the Violet Femmes Girls Night Out Gala in the past will not want to miss the fifth anniversary edition Friday, Nov. 16. Those who have not attended before, will not want to miss this fun night either. Taking place at the Almonte Arena, the evening will be hosted by Sandra from KISS FM, there will be food, cocktails, music, dancing, a silent auction and raffle table, plus much, much more. Commencing at 5:30 p.m. the night is in support of LCIH. For tickets, visit the LCIH website (listed below) or visit Static, located in the Old Church Shoppes, 17a Albert St., Carleton Place, or Doree’s Habit, 65 Mill St., Almonte. A little bit of “Herstory” LCIH officially opened in May of 1979, but the facility
was already occupied in April by women in need of services, according to information provided by LCIH. In 1983, a fundraising campaign resulted in the purchase of the organization’s current location. Serving the entire Lanark
County and Smiths Falls, Interval House currently sees between 200 and 300 families every year. The 24/7 Crisis Line receives approximately 2,000 calls each year as well. Waiting lists are now forming for group support programs as well as for individual counseling. Some of the costs the agency faces include a yearly grocery bill of $25,000, annual utility costs of $21,000, $30,000 is spent around repairs, maintenance and insurance and of course these are just a few of the many expenditures each year. A grant did come from the Ministry of Community and Social Services to build the new addition on the facility several years ago, however corresponding dollars to operate the building weren’t forthcoming. Travel costs are also astronomical as the agency does serve the entire county, and sometimes the reality is that women live in isolated locations and situations. When cost of living such as gas prices, and groceries getting more expensive become realities, these circumstances also impact an agency such as Interval House. In order to spread the mes-
sage across their coverage area, the agency moves fundraising events from community to community and features yearly activities such as the Violet Femmes night in Almonte, various campaigns including the Daisy of Hope campaign, Mom to Mom sales and more. The agency’s The As Good As New Store, is also a source of funds and mail outs are still undertaken. There are many ways a person could donate or give to the cause without opening their pocket book. Including volunteering time, buying two sets of towels at the store instead of one and donating the extras, going to a fundraising event, volunteer to help at a fundraising event, go on the agency website and look at the wish list for the organization, even if the public is doing something so mundane as cleaning the house and have extra post it notes, or blank school paper – these are all things that can be used and make a difference. Lanark County Interval House can be reached by calling 613-257-5960, 1-800-2677946 or visiting www.lcih.org. Those looking to volunteer may call 613-257-3469 ext. 27.

Portion of ticket sales for Studio Theatre Production to go to charity By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca
EMC Entertainment – “I would rather have a dog.” This is one of the lines to be spoken by the blind heroine in “Wait Until Dark”, Perth’s Studio Theatre’s first production of the season. It was this line that got director Norma Cummings’ wheels of thought turning. For every adult ticket sold for this production, premiering today, Oct. 11, $1 will be donated to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. “We thought it would be a nice hookup between this kind of a play and the guide dogs,” Cummings commented Sept. 26 amidst construction of the set. It
was day five of building the basement apartment scene. “We strive for good will in the community. Part of our mandate is to serve the community,” explained Penny Silberhorn, with the Studio Theatre. She said the theatre gives actors an area to act, directors a place to direct. “We try as much as we can to put some of our money back into the community.” In addition to a portion of ticket sales going to the cause, the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind will also feature a promotional setup in the lobby as well as a donation dog (whereby donations can be dropped into) during the performance. Not only are they giving back to the community via
the donation, they have also been hard at work preparing the performance. Calling it a “pulse pounding thriller” the cast has been hard at work since the last part of August. “It’s been a big team effort,” Cummings smiled. The eight character play features some well known actors and actresses including Danielle MacDonald as Susy, Paul Roach as Roat, with veterans Hugh McCulloch, Lucas Tennant, Alfred Von Mirbach and a new young actor, Meaghan
Brackenbury - an all-star cast. Rounding out the cast are David Parry and Yogi Sepp. The play itself centres around Susy, who is blind and her husband Sam Hendrix. In the play, they are convinced by a strange woman to transport a doll across the Canadian border. What they don’t know is that sewn within this doll is a quantity of heroin, heroin which villain Roat can’t wait to get his hands on. When the strange woman who persuaded them into
bringing the doll across the border is murdered, Roat convinces Susy the police suspect Sam as the murderer and that the doll is evidence. Becoming aware of what is happening, Susy refuses to give up the doll’s location and a dangerous game of cat and mouse is unleashed. Seeing her only way out is to turn her blindness into an advantage, she turns off all the lights when darkness falls – leaving them both in the dark, until the game is over. The performance takes
place Oct. 11, 12, 13, 19, 20 at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. Sunday matinees on Oct. 14 and 21. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at The Book Nook in Perth, $22 at Tickets Please (ticketsplease.ca; 613-4856434), and $22 cash at the box office on show nights. Students with ID pay just $10 at the door. The Studio Theatre is located at 63 Gore Street East in Perth. Visit studiotheatreperth. com for group rates and further details.

Exceptional artists support families in need EMC Lifestyle – Without Exception: Exceptional Art from Beautiful Minds, sponsored by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), hosted an artist exhibit and sale on Friday, Sept. 28, at the R. Tait McKenzie Memorial Gallery, in Almonte displaying exquisite works by 36 young student artists. Without Exception is an ongoing arts initiative for special needs students in the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. Inspired by three special needs artists at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, art teacher, Sarah Jaynes, founded Without Exception in 2008. In its fifth year, the program celebrates the talents of student artists from across Eastern Ontario. Yearly themes are used to
guide the artists, with this year’s theme being birds. Jaynes says that the name was chosen to highlight the fact that individuals with special needs are not “exceptions,” but are “exceptional.” All proceeds from art sales are donated to the Good Samaritan Trust Fund, a charity which helps CDSBEO students, and their families, when issues arise which are not currently addressed by existing charity organizations. The proceeds from the event totalled $1,370, with three additional exhibits to be held before Christmas. High quality, acid-free prints, on paper and canvas, are available for purchase and custom order. More information on this initiative can be found by visiting www.withoutexception.ca, or www.facebook.com/exceptionalart.

Canadian Aid for Chernobyl Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign extended to Oct. 31
EMC News - The Shoeboxes for Seniors Campaign for the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville and Kingston areas has been extended to Oct. 31, 2012 in order to allow groups and organizations who have been closed for the summer to take part in this worthwhile project. Currently there are 300 boxes packed and ready to go with an additional 200 expected to arrive within the next month. Your help is needed to reach our goal of 1,200. Participants may fill a shoebox or drop off essential hygiene items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand and body cream, deodorant, combs, brushes, hand soap, shampoo, razors, etc.) at any of the locations listed. Individuals are encouraged to fill just one box and together the goal can be reached. Donations of filled boxes, miscellaneous items and cash donations are also accepted throughout the year. Shoeboxes will be shipped to Chernobyl for distribution in early spring 2013. Campaign coordinator Colleen Gray has been busy collecting boxes and donations over the summer months. “The seniors who receive our shoeboxes are those who are most in need,” said Gray. “These are people who have little or no family support. They live very lonely and isolated lives in a state of poverty.” These shoeboxes are hand delivered to seniors

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy and cliffLAND has instituted the 80 Plus Club. This is for individuals 80 years of age or older who have hiked to Blueberry Mountain (one of the Seven Wonders of
Lanark County). The annual fall walk took place on Sept. 30. Eight cheerful individuals over the age of 80 made the trek to the top of Blueberry Mountain that day.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Agency aims to help students with financial decision-making DEAR EDITOR: As a former high school teacher, the beginning of September always meant back-to-school. For students, it’s a time for many new things. I realize now that back-to-school is the perfect time to have a frank conversation with children about the importance of managing their personal finances, especially if they are moving out on their own for the first time. The agency I lead, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), was established in 2001 to help Canadian consumers gain a better understanding of financial products and services such as
credit cards, bank accounts, mortgages and investments. Since that time, FCAC has become a pioneer in creating clear, simple publications and easy-to-use web tools that give consumers objective, reliable help when they make financial decisions. The Government of Canada has given FCAC the mandate to foster financial literacy. The agency continues to develop innovative resources for students and all Canadians to help them strengthen their knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions. They are available at itpaystoknow.gc.ca. Ursula Menke FCAC Commissioner
EMC Editorial - While another Thanksgiving has come and gone, and another push for donations to the food bank was made - donations are needed year round. Locally, the Lanark County Food Bank helps close to 550 people on a monthly basis (distributing between 11,000 and 13,000 pounds of food per month) – increasing by 12 new applicants each month. This is just one of the food banks to serve this area – there are also facilities in Smiths Falls, Perth and the North Grenville area. While several fundraising initiatives are up and coming leading to Christmas, food banks rely day to day on the kindness of community donations to feed those coming to their door. In media statements late last month, it was reported World Vision staff were in Ottawa Sept. 26, urging passersby from various locations in the downtown core, to “brown bag” their lunch and donate the money they would have used to purchase food to their cause. More than 18.7 million people, four million of those children, in seven West African countries, “are at risk of severe malnutrition” the World Vision Canada website reports. The donations collected that day were to be directed towards families in West Africa. There is no question there is a need in Africa. But while this is a very worthy cause – that help is needed and donated dollars are important – we would argue that perhaps dollars should be directed towards food banks working hard here in our own backyard. These operations benefit the people who are in dire need here in Lanark County, Leeds & Grenville and the Ottawa Valley. People struggling to make ends meet – not knowing from where their next meal may come, not knowing how they will pay the bills or keep a roof over their heads, not knowing if they can feed their children this time next week. Perhaps, donated funds should be focussed locally towards the people we walk alongside every day who may have bare kitchen cupboards and empty fridges.
Miss Crosby prepares students for the world EMC Lifestyle - Miss Crosby was fair to a fault, and yet she stood for no nonsense. Most of the boys in Senior Fourth at the Northcote School were a couple heads taller than she was, but she had no trouble handing out discipline to any of them when the need arose. We all had a healthy fear of Miss Crosby, and that included Cecil and my brother Emerson, both of whom seemed to attract trouble like ants to a plate of honey. The strap that hung on the side of her desk from a cup hook was a constant reminder that if anyone stepped out of line, she would use it in a split second! And when she did, the whack was enough to raise her off her feet. So needless to say, just looking at the black leather demon was enough to keep us on our best behaviour. Back then the teacher was right up there in importance with the family doctor or the member of parliament. And each was treated with the utmost respect. Miss Crosby was lucky to
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
live in the community, not like some rural teachers who had to “room and board” at one of the local farms. She could walk to school. And she had the patience of a saint. Bad Marguirite was enough to try anyone’s patience, but Miss Crosby knew exactly how to handle the girl who was the bane of my existence. Marguirite never did anything bad enough to warrant the strap, but she aggravated the daylights out of me, mostly because she was the only one in her family, and had the best of everything. A real leather school bag, for instance. And a tin box for her lunch! Such luxury. About once a year just about every family in the community would have the teacher over night on a weekend. That meant of course,
that she would attend church with the family on the Sunday, and it didn’t matter what church they attended, the teacher was expected to go with them. And so Miss Crosby could be an United one week, and a Lutheran the next. And what a thrill it was to have the teacher for over night! The house would have a cleaning from top to bottom, just like it got in the Spring or Fall! Floors were scrubbed up and downstairs, and of course, a spotlessly clean kitchen and bedclothes fresh off the line were necessary, and enough food to feed a thrashing gang would be prepared. Of course, when it was our turn to host the teacher, she couldn’t be expected to walk the 3 ½ miles my brothers and sister and I had to trudge to and from school. No Father would take the buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter to fetch her to our old log house. And that weekend, I felt so smug. I knew for a fact that Marguirite had asked

Miss Crosby at least three or four times during the school year to go to her home for the weekend. But Miss Crosby wouldn’t dream of that. No, everything was fair and square with Miss Crosby. And Marguirite was constantly bringing a treat for the teacher. This time of year it would be an apple. Often Miss Crosby would have an apple every day from the hateful little girl with the drug-store-bought curls. And I would watch to see what the teacher would do with it. I never saw her eat the apple, but it would be taken home with her, and I liked to think she maybe threw it away when she got far enough away from the school! But more than likely it was put into a pie or apple crisp. I have no idea what Miss Crosby did with the boxes of hankies, the cheap tin cans of talcum powder, and the countless bars of soap she got at Christmas time. But I do remember getting a little note of thanks every year. She would make sure the notes were all written at the same

time, and they would be on our desks waiting for us. The notes were never mailed. After all, it cost three cents for a postage stamp back then! She never seemed to have a big wardrobe. In the winter, it was a simple black wool dress, and in the summer a printed silk. She had a variety of crocheted collars that she attached to both to bring a variety to what she wore. And she wore black laced shoes with thick rubber on the heels. My brother Emerson said the heels were like that so that she could creep up on you without being heard. Miss Crosby loved the King and Queen. And she loved the bible. Every morning, of course, she read a scripture lesson, and we all recited the Lord’s Prayer in unison. We were supposed to sit ramrod straight in our seats, with our heads bowed, and our hands forming steeples for the prayer. And heaven help us if we were caught with our eyes open. And then we had to stand at attention by our seats, and Miss Crosby blew on a little

tin piece that gave us all the musical note to start on, and with our right hand over our hearts, we belted out “God Save the King”. Even those who couldn’t carry a note in a slop-pail were expected to sing! Or course Marguirite could be heard in Admaston! Miss Crosby was high on manners. It didn’t matter who came to the door at the Northcote School, we were expected to get out of our seats, noiselessly of course, and stand at attention until told to sit down. If it was the inspector, Miss Crosby would introduce him, and we had to say, and again in unison, “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon” and repeat the inspector’s name. When Mother said Miss Crosby was a saint, I believed her. Her salary was only a few hundred dollars a year, and Mother said she earned every cent of it. And when you left the Northcote School, having graduated from the Entrance Class, you were ready for whatever road lay ahead. Miss Crosby saw to that.

Want to get the best price for your home? Turn to a real estate agent! At first glance, selling a home doesn’t seem to be all that complicated: you appraise the value of your home, stick a “for sale” sign on your front lawn and wait for a serious buyer to call. Unfortunately, selling a home is never that easy. It can be a long and complicated process that involves signing a legally binding contract. Relying on the help of an experienced real estate agent can make all the difference between a straightforward process and a total nightmare. The first thing a real estate agent will do is accurately evaluate the value of your home based on a variety of factors, such as its location, the municipal services offered, the proximity of schools and businesses and the quality of the materials used in the home’s construction. He or she will also take into consideration the appearance of your home compared to others in the neighbourhood, the overall state of your home, the number of rooms and the value of similar homes

Ottawa Gala shining light on local charity By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca
EMC Events – It’s time to celebrate some amazing people and one amazing local charity. On Oct. 27 the ‘CTV Presents the Amazing People Gala In Support of SchoolBOX’ at the Ottawa Convention Centre is aiming to raise enough money to build a school in Nicaragua and help ‘Make Education Possible.’ Eric Collard, chair of the organizing committee, explained the idea for the event started last summer as he and CTV’s Kimothy Walker were chatting and the idea just came about, he says the stars aligned. Walker has been telling stories about the power of the human spirit since the spring of 2011 every Thursday on CTV News at 6 p.m. “Why don’t we do a gala to highlight all of these amazing people and we can raise enough money to build a school in one night,� said Collard, and the idea was born. At the AP Gala the CTV Amazing Person of the Year (for 2011 and 2012) and the CTV’s Viewers’ Choice Award (you can vote online www.ctvottawa.ca) will be announced. Everyone who has been profiled and up to 800 guests will have the red

SchoolBOX’s Director of Operations from Nicaragua, Ronald Chavarria Arauz and SchoolBOX founder, Tom Affleck were all smiles during the annual Latin Fiesta at the Almonte Ag Hall on Sept. 28. The event raised $8,100 for the charity with 150 people dancing the night away with music by Latin Fusion. carpet rolled out for a night of celebration and dancing. Collard praises Walker and CTV’s involvement in the event saying they have gone above and beyond in every way. “Kimothy and I we want the AP Gala to be fun,� said Collard enthusiastically. “We are highlighting local heroes. There will not be a dry eye in the room, it’s so inspirational. We want people to leave there inspired and full of hope for the next generation.�
Collard has been volunteering with SchoolBox for a few years and has been more than impressed by the Almonte charity. “They are a grassroots organization but they are very efficient and everyone is very genuine. They are providing education for people who would not otherwise receive it,� said Collard. “Almonte has such a great spirit and we want to replicate that at the AP Gala.� Tom Affleck, president
and founder of SchoolBOX is extremely grateful for the amazing opportunity that has come through the hard work and dedication of both Walker and Collard. “We are so honoured to be a part of this amazing event,� said Affleck. “We look forward to using the success of the event to build a wonderful school for children who need it.� Affleck believes it is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the efforts of some
truly amazing people in the community. “These are people who have reached out beyond themselves to touch the lives of others,� said Affleck. “These are outstanding stories of people who have reached so far beyond their abilities to empower others.� Collard admits that everyone he meets in Almonte always wants to help out and knows what SchoolBOX is about. However, when you get to Ottawa a lot of people do not know SchoolBOX. “We are trying to extend SchoolBOX to Ottawa,� said Collard. “We are well on our way to being successful. This is for a good cause, for the kids.� Affleck admits that this is fundraising on a level they have never experienced before and are excited as to what the AP Gala will bring. “We’ve never done a gala like this before,� added Affleck. “Of course we were nervous with the upfront costs and investments required. We are just ecstatic with the success of the event so far.� Ticket sales are going well with 60 per cent of the tickets already sold with just under a month until the big event. The goal of the event is to raise $50,000 which will have a tremendous impact in Nicaragua.
Tickets cost $200 for the VIP individual ticket (includes VIP reception 6-7 p.m., gala, dinner 7-9 p.m., dancing, entertainment and a $100 tax receipt from SchoolBOX) and $150 for the individual ticket (includes gala, dinner, dancing, entertainment and a $75 tax receipt from SchoolBOX). Collard admits that it is not a cheap outing for everyone. “We are trying to make it a magical night so people will remember it for awhile,� said Collard. “If we hit the goal we will be able to build a school.� Although he admits, it has taken more than one night as he has a dedicated team of volunteers helping out and there is still a ways to go just yet. Affleck is excited for what the night will bring. “Eric and Kimothy are champions who are making this happen, I can’t begin to express how grateful we are to the event organizers and CTV for this awesome opportunity,� said Affleck. “The profile and awareness it’s bringing to SchoolBOX and our mission to Make Education Possible is outstanding.� For more information on the AP Gala and SchoolBOX visit: www.schoolbox.ca/ gala.

Love Your Lake – provincial shoreline stewardship program launch EMC News – Love Your Lake, a new shoreline stewardship program starting in Ontario is being launched this fall through an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds for $147,500. “I’m pleased that the Ontario Trillium Foundation has provided financial support to assist the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds in launching the Love Your Lake shoreline stewardship program,” said LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark. “For 10 years, the Centre has worked with property owners on many projects to benefit our region’s watersheds. The co-operation and goodwill they have fostered has produced benefits for all citizens and I’m pleased to see it continue with this latest initiative.” Love Your Lake will provide local organizations across Ontario with resources and training to deliver an engaging and effective program to help landowners protect and restore their shorelines, ultimately improving the health of their lakes. Resources will include communications and training materials, program manuals, and funding required to deliver the program. This program was developed in partnership with the Canadian Wildlife Federation with regional collabo-
ration and support from partners across the province including the Lakeland Alliance, Peterborough Green Up, Muskoka Watershed Council, and the City of Greater Sudbury. The program development integrates best practices and peer-reviewed methods and protocols that provide a province-wide standardized approach for shoreline evaluation and stewardship. Previously, within each region, shoreline stewardship activities were carried out under the same goal of shoreline health, but with different methods. This standardized approach will help collect shoreline data that is consistent, measurable, and comparable both geographically and over time. “We are really excited about taking this model across the province in partnership with existing organizations that are the experts in their regions in working with shoreline property owners. We hope that other groups in Ontario adopt this program based on our success as well,” says Barbara King, Executive Director of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds. “As we see greater development along our waterfronts, it becomes increasingly important for property owners to take steps to be good shoreline
stewards,” says Rick Bates, Executive Director of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. “We want to ensure that we keep our lakes healthy for future generations to enjoy.” About Centre for Sustainable Watersheds Since incorporation in 2002, Centre for Sustainable Watersheds has focused on protecting water quality in Canada’s lakes and rivers. It has been engaged with a diverse range of partners over the years. CSW has developed programs designed to cultivate
water leaders through a variety of training and educational initiatives and to support their work by providing the necessary tools, technologies and resources. Its goal is to help build water-conscious communities dedicated to safeguarding our treasured waterways. Our vision is to see training programs, educational materials, web-based information sharing, sustainable wastewater technologies and hands-on initiatives such as habitat and shoreline protection delivered in a sustainable manner to
protect Canada’s lakes and rivers. About Canadian Wildlife Federation The Canadian Wildlife Federation is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to fostering awareness and appreciation of our natural world. By spreading knowledge of human impacts on the environment, sponsoring research, developing and delivering education programs, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources, recommending changes to policy and co-
operating with like-minded partners, CWF encourages a future in which Canadians can live in harmony with nature. For more information visit CanadianWildlifeFederation.ca.

Official opening of High Lonesome Nature Reserve Oct. 21 EMC Events - On Friday, Sept. 28 more than 180 people turned out to help the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) protect High Lonesome Nature Reserve and maintain and develop its trails for public benefit. With Michael Runtz as the keynote speaker, it was a hugely enjoyable and educational evening - and also a financial success for MMLTC. The proceeds from the dinner and silent auction, supplemented by three generous private donations, allowed MMLTC to reach its goal of contributing $20,000 to its Stewardship Monitoring Endowment Fund held by the Community Foundation of Ottawa. This amount will be matched under the Ontario Land Trust Alliance/Canadian Community Foundation program Caring for the Land You Love. Reason indeed to celebrate! On Sunday, Oct. 21, the public will have an opportunity to attend the High Lonesome dedication ceremony and celebration of the long term conservation of this new Nature Reserve.
The MMLTC is grateful to the family of the late Barry Spicer who entrusted High Lonesome, Spicer’s beloved 200 acres wilderness property located in the Pakenham Hills to the MMLTC for conservation in perpetuity. This property is rich in natural values. Three main and several lesser wetlands on the property form part of a provincially significant wetland complex. As a result of a bioblitz organized by the Land Trust in June, a species inventory was begun and over 675 species were recorded. Thanks to funding from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Species at Risk Stewardship Fund, additional inventory work is currently underway with a focus on targeted species at risk. Special appreciation goes to Ken Spicer, Barry’s brother, for helping to shepherd the donation of High Lonesome through to completion and for Ken’s continuing dedication to the preservation and documentation of the natural values of this exceptional property. Thanks to his energetic efforts over the years, High Lonesome Nature Reserve has a network of trails that wander

up, down and through the forests, by beaver ponds, creeks and wetlands, trails that have been enjoyed by individuals and naturalists clubs alike. To take full advantage of the nature reserve’s rich biodiversity, these trails will form the foundation for outdoor education, nature interpretation and recreation. Thanks to a grant from Mountain Equipment Co-op, the MMLTC plans to erect interpretive signs along the trails, describing the unique ecological features and wildlife habitat found there. The dedication ceremony and celebration of High Lonesome has been planned for Sunday, Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. Following the ceremony, refreshments will be served and visitors will have an opportunity for a brief tour of the trails. To find the property from County Road 29 in Pakenham Village, drive west on Waba Road for 2.9 km. Turn left on Barr Side Road for 1.6 km, take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Road. A map with directions can be found on the MMLTC website at www.mmltc.ca.

garet and Borachio, have a difficult task – to convey to the audience the strong emotions that will change them from observers of the main action into its key participants. Holley Edgerton (Donna Juanita) must show, in a very few scenes, the controlled evil of a villain that is trying to sabotage young love. And Candice Burn (Dogberry) has to connect with the audience, and be believable right away as the buffoon who catches the evildoers while all her intelligent betters could not.” So if you want to see some of the region’s best young actors flexing their dramatic muscles, come see The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre’s production of Much Ado About Nothing at the Carleton Place Town Hall.

EMC Entertainment Comedy and romance come to the Carleton Place Town Hall this month, as the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre presents Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in the round, up close and personal with the audience, on the floor of the theatre. This is the young players’ second foray into classical Shakespearean presentation - last year’s performance of Macbeth brought the murder, mayhem, and witchcraft to within touching distance of the front rows. Now the young players will be giving the audience an intimate connection to the lovers’ quarrels, the malapropisms and the wordplay that is the hallmark of Shakespeare’s best-loved romantic comedy. Director Mark Piper notes, however, that presenting a comedy – especially one in Shakespearian language – poses a different set of challenges than does a tragedy. “In Macbeth, as in most tragedies, the majority of the action takes place with only a few people on stage – in fact, Shakespearian tragedy is famous for its monologues. In a comedy like Much Ado About Nothing, however, a lot of scenes take place with nearly the whole cast on stage – there’s a lot of ensemble work, which can often be a greater challenge for young actors.” In this production, audience members will have to watch closely to pick up the secondary story that Jessica Kinnari (who plays Ursula) and Hayley Fortier (Antonia) are playing as subtext as they interact with the other actors in the ensemble scenes. Newcomer Amber Berndt (Friar Frances) also supports the group dialogue, while also remaining the audience’s surrogate, observing and commenting on the action for our benefit and straightening out all the chaos in the play, just in time for a happy ending. Another challenge is that despite the fact that there are characters with fewer lines, there are no small parts. Explains Piper: “Leah West and Zach Williams, who play Mar-

Beetles—the group everyone knows EMC Lifestyle - The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) 20122013 public lecture series, Nature Beneath Our Feet, continues with the second presentation Oct. 18, “Ground Beetles—My Favourite Group.” You do not need to be an expert to enjoy the presentations— just possess a curiosity or appreciation for wild nature. Cottagers, hunters, fishermen, canoeists, hikers, campers, artists and seasoned field naturalists alike will find something to interest them as we explore what lives in Lanark County and how best to protect it for future generations. Refreshments are offered at each lecture. This month’s lecture will be presented by Dr. Henri Goulet, research scientist emeritus with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Henri will give us a tour
of the diversity and beauty of his favouite group of insects, which will be generously illustrated with species found in Lanark County. Not surprisingly, the formative years of many great biologists, such as Charles Darwin, included the study of beetles. Beetles are easy to recognise and are attractive subjects for study. The 350 million species worldwide are found from pole to pole. There are more named species of beetles than there are named species of any other group. Ground (carabid) beetles, in particular, contribute 1,700 species to the insect fauna of North America. Typically they hide by day under logs, or among rocks by the edge of ponds and rivers. The shiny black or metallic backs of these predators dart across the soil surface while we

When the chemicals are mixed with enzymes, heat and oxygen are produced and the material is explosively propelled from the anus with a notable pop.

Community celebrates opening of extended Baird Trail By EMC STAFF
ly cut the grass and emptied the garbage container at the trailhead for a number of years. Terry and Joanne Munro were on site for the opening of the trail. “It’s really quite beautiful here,” Joanne said. “I tell all my friends about it. One thing I really enjoy here is taking a walk through the pines… the ground underfoot is so soft. It’s a great place.” Terry says the new trail opening is a great addition to the already popular hiking trail. “This has been called one of the most beautiful trails in the area,” said Les Humphreys, LCMTC president. “It showcases important ecological values, giant maple and beech trees and evidence of pioneer farming, as well as red pine plantations. Each of the three loops of the Baird Trail offers a different perspective of the natural and cultural features of the property.” The Baird Trail is one of 38 community forest lands managed by Lanark County, which provide social, recreational, economic, scientific, cultural and spiritual benefits to those who enjoy it.
county and a red pine plantation was planted as part of a conservation program. LCMTC’s mandate is to design, develop, manage and promote motorized and non-motorized trails on county-owned property. Donations and in-kind support help the organization to make improvements on the Baird Trail and other trails in community forests. There are various ways to assist. Donors can purchase a bench on the Baird Trail (or Tay River Pathway in Perth) for $1,500 and provide wording for an associated commemorative plaque. Donations of any amount can be made for general trail development across the county. The county’s public works department administers the donations on behalf of the trails corporation and tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more. To get to the Baird Trail, from Lanark take Hwy. 511 north for 4 km to Herron Mills Road (County Road 8). Turn right and travel east for 2 km to the intersection at Rodger Road. The Baird property entrance is on the left, 250 metres east of the Rodger Road intersection. From Middleville, take County Road 8 south for 5 km. The entrance is 500 metres west of the Mitchell Road intersection.
Pioneer family settles property The property was first settled by a pioneer family in 1837 and supported basic food crops and livestock, with the forest providing lumber, fuel and maple syrup. The sandy soil was only marginal for agriculture, however, and the lowlands flooded often due to beaver dams. The land was left idle in the 1920s. In 1963, Margaret Baird sold the 36-hectare parcel to the

EMC News - It was a great day to meander through the woods in Lanark Highlands last week as the community celebrated the opening of a new loop on the Baird Trail off Herron Mills Road. The Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation and its partners were on site for the opening. Located at 2410 Herron Mills Road (County Road 8), the Baird Trail started as a 1.7-kilometre jaunt through forests that features boardwalks over a sedge wetland. The selfguided tour now totals 3 km in length and includes three loops and two boardwalks. It features a variety of woodland types, a beaver meadow and a new wetland, with interpretive panels pointing out salient features along the way. The LCMTC is working on a project to install more signage next year. “This could not have been accomplished without the help of volunteers from Mississippi Valley Conservation and the Lanark County Stewardship Council, along with the hard work of LCMTC board members,” said Warden John Gemmell (Perth Deputy Mayor). “The new trail loop was designed and constructed by a group of volunteers from MVC, led by Craig Cunningham, and the Lanark County Stewardship Rangers assisted with the construction of the boardwalk on the new loop.” One of the new loops, the Munro Loop, is named after Willingdon “Welly” Clarence Munro, a neighbouring property owner who passed away in April at age 83.

Defeat denial during Mental Illness Awareness Week EMC News - Mental Illness Awareness Week marks an annual national public education campaign designed to open the eyes of Canadians to the reality of mental illness. As part of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s mission to fight the stigma and discrimination that keeps people living with mental illness in the dark, CAMH recently launched the Defeat Denial campaign. This awareness campaign calls attention to the many ways we minimize mental illness. Provocative phrases like, “just snap out of it,� “you’re imagining things,� and “you’re making a big deal out of nothing� challenge people to rethink their attitudes and
how we treat people with mental illness. This fall, CAMH launched a new phase of the campaign and are encouraging people to submit DIY videos telling us how they will defeat denial. Marianne Andarolo recalls going to her family physician for help and being told that all she needed was a good meal and a nap. She was reluctant to seek help again. It was only after a public incident when she was brought to hospital by police that she was properly diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder. “People with mental illness are not abnormal,� she said. “I lead a happy and successful life and I have an illness, just like people
who live successfully with other medical conditions – mine just happens to be mental, not physical. There is help available and people shouldn’t be ashamed to seek it out.� Jackie Nourse has lived with depression for most of her life. As a teenager she remembers something “just not being right,� yet her doctor told her that she needed to be happy because she had a lot to be thankful for and she was worrying and upsetting her mother. Today she is able to
manage the illness through treatment and medication. “I want people to know that there is hope for mental illness,� Nourse said. “We’ve come a long way with effective treatments, but what good does this do if those who need help are afraid to reach out? I went many years believing I had done something wrong and that I wasn’t as good as everybody else. It’s only through finding the right support and treatment, gaining my own acceptance and understanding
of my illness and openly talking about it, that I now know I didn’t do anything wrong and that I’m no different than anyone else. “As with any illness, having a mental illness is not a willful act and if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone.� According to a recent survey, only 50 per cent of Canadians would tell others that a person in their family had a mental illness, whereas 75 per cent would disclose cancer. With silence comes stigma and
discrimination. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, as well as one of the world’s leading research centres in the area of addiction and mental health. CAMH combines clinical care, research, education, policy development and health promotion to help transform the lives of people affected by mental health and addiction issues.

EMC Events - It is hard to believe 10 years have passed since a group of volunteers from the Lanark County Genealogical Society opened the doors of the former Drummond Township Office at 1920 Concession 7, Drummond. However it’s true and celebrations will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Ferguson Falls Community Hall from 1-4 p.m. when everyone is invited to share some of the achievements since 2002. Archives Lanark was founded to provide a home for the Ontario Land Records that were about to be destroyed as a cost saving measure by the Ontario Government of the time(1990’s). Provincially based historical groups protested, asking for time to find a place in each county where their records could be stored but also made available to the public for research. As the only county wide group, the Lanark County Genealogical Society was given this task and began the search for a building that would be suitable and affordable. Since Drummond and North Elmsley had amalgamated, the Society was able to rent the former Drummond offices for a reasonable fee. The collection has grown so much that a humidity controlled storage unit is also rented. The dream continues to be a climate-controlled facility, accessible to all, with a full time paid archivist- maybe in the next 10 years! The Archives recently became an independent, not-forprofit, charitable organization with its own identity, Archives Lanark, and Board of Directors. Corporate status in the Province of Ontario was granted in 2011. The Lanark County Genealogical Society continues its close affiliation with a majority representation on the Board of the Archives. As many of the volunteers and visitors spring from a background of family research, there is a huge collection of family histories-many donated by people grateful for the help they received there. One such person from Seattle donated a 600 page book on the Shane, Bayne & Ellis families since he found their early roots in the White Lake area when looking at our land records. However the next year, he also donated 20 large binders containing all the original copies of birth certificates, census listings, etc. that he had scanned here, in North Dakota and back in Germany. He feared his children weren’t interested but realized other family historians would be. Since we are in a rural area, the preservation of Women’s Institute Tweedsmuir Histories, 4-H and Junior Farmer records as well as local service clubs is a main focus. So many WI branches have disbanded lately that there is a danger of these wonderful books that have original photos and farm histories being sold at a sale or thrown out. Many of the Tweedsmuir Books have been useful to visitors to the archives. Clyde Bell, formerly from
Perth and editor of the newspaper in Tweed, left several scrapbooks of his time in Junior Farmers and his work with the early Perth Museum. These have proved valuable lately when Allan Donaldson is using them to document the history of the Wilson mineral collection. Other collections donated by local historians and scrapbookers offer our visitors a wealth of information on most areas of the County. The most valuable resource remains our volunteers who assist visitors to find what they’re looking for. It is quite common to have someone on duty who has a connection to the family of the visitor so progress is much faster than when one goes to a facility where you have to do all your own searching. We hear comments such as “I found out so much more here than at the Ontario or the National Archives” but we think many don’t realize we rely on donations. Apart from Lanark County, which provides limited funding, government grants are rare in these times of fiscal restraint. The other noticeable change in the past 10 years is the number of people using ancestry. com who think they can get all their family info from there. They find out that the local facility has many more church and cemetery records plus there are many mistakes online where generations have been mixed up and mistakes seldom get corrected (only repeated). Less than 10 volunteers keep the facility open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. –3 p.m. until Thanksgiving and alternate days in the winter. Not only do they keep the facility open, but they put in many hours behind the scenes arranging and cataloguing. Check the website for more details-www.globalgenealogy.com/archiveslanark. The Oct. 20 event will feature displays, music by “Memory Lane”, refreshments and a continuous slide show of the past 10 years. A special feature will be a presentation by Doug Bell from the Perth area of a treasured 1820 artifact and related original documents. Writers of recently published books on Lanark County will have their books for sale in the Author’s Corner and both the Archives and the Genealogical Society will have their recent releases for sale. Orders will be taken for the next Rural School books to be published - Drummond, Ramsay & Pakenham Townships as well as for a reprint of the very popular Beckwith book. Stories and photos are still being accepted for the upcoming schoolbooks.

The secret to making the ultimate Peach Cake
25 STOREWIDE
Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Stuff mixer, to mix the batter. Stir until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. If the peaches in the pie filling are in large slices, break them into smaller pieces with the spoon. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, and bake at 325F for about 35 minutes. Check with a toothpick to make sure the cake is done. If not, bake for another five minutes, and test again. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven, and let it cool for 5 minutes. If you used a Bundt pan, turn the cake out on a rack. If you used a 9â&#x20AC;?x13â&#x20AC;? pan, leave the cake in the pan. Cool completely before serving. This cake is very moist and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need icing. If you want to serve it with something else, a dollop of whipped cream is nice. This recipe makes a large cake, but it freezes well. This is handy if there are only two of you. To freeze, cut the cake into manageable, place each portion in a tightlysealed plastic container, and freeze. Homemade Peach Filling 398 mL can of peaches, ei-
ther slices or halves, in their own juice water (see directions below for the amount) 1/4 cup flour If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find canned peach pie filling, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to make a homemade version. Drain the canned peaches, reserving the juice and pouring it into a measuring cup. Add enough water to make one cup of liquid. Combine the peach-water liquid with the flour in a small plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Cover, hold the lid firmly, and shake well. Pour this into a small saucepan. Cook the mixture, over medium heat, for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a sauce. Cool completely. While the sauce cools, cut the canned peaches into pieces about the size of a walnut. When the sauce is cool, stir in the cut-up peaches. Use this homemade peach mixture, instead of the canned pie filling, in the cake recipe.

EMC Lifestyle - Several years ago, I featured a recipe in my column for a cake made with peach pie filling. In less than a week, supermarkets and grocery stores from Brockville to Ottawa were completely sold out of peach pie filling. As a result of it being so hard to find, I developed a recipe for a quick, homemade peach pie filling to use in the cake. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as convenient as the canned version, but it has more peaches and less sugar. Due to popular request, here are both recipes, one for the cake and the other for the homemade peach pie filling. The ingredients for the cake are simple -- white cake mix, peach pie filling, eggs, and almond flavouring. The Ultimate Peach Cake 1 white cake mix 1 can (540 mL) peach pie filling (if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any, see below for the recipe) 4 eggs, beaten 1 1/4 tsp. almond extract 1 tbsp. Amaretto liqueur (optional) Ignore the directions on the cake mix package. The batter does not need any other liquids. Butter and lightly flour either a Bundt pan or a 9â&#x20AC;?x13â&#x20AC;? cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, pie filling, eggs, flavouring and liqueur if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using it use a spoon, not an electric

Service intervals and avoiding automotive assault
The Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario recently released a study entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pedestrian Death Reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which analyzed the 95 pedestrian fatalities in 2010 caused by impacts from motor vehicles. Some of the statistics didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come as much of a surprise, such as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was dark or twilight for 57 per cent of fatal pedestrian collisionsâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peak hours for pedestrian collisions were between 2 p.m.

and 10 p.m. daily, largely coinciding with peaks in traffic volume.â&#x20AC;? But some of the conditions noted might raise a few eyebrows. It was found that road conditions were dry for 81 per cent of the incidents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Limited available data suggest that there was evidence of alcohol and/or drug use observed in seven per cent of drivers and in 28 per cent of the pedestrians, toxicology was positive for drugs, alcohol or both. While two per cent of pedestrians struck by a motor vehicle will die, this rises to 48 per cent for intoxicated pedestrians.â&#x20AC;? Driver distraction was pegged as a possible contributing factor for 14 per cent of the collisions and in 20 per cent of the events, pedestrian absent-mindedness may have been a cause according to the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors. The report didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lay any general blame with either the driving or walking group but both could take some important lessons from this

report. As much as avoiding distractions while driving (such as cell phones, electronics, and such) is crucial to safe motoring, the same applies to those on foot. While we have made inroads into improving some driver behaviours, other ar-
eas need work. One of the most noticeable is audio system volumes, both incar and in pedestriansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ears. When music is played at upper level volumes a major sense, hearing, is eliminated from the tools we need to drive and walk safely. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not suggesting we need more legislation, just a lot more common sense. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By

ponents that are inspected during a routine maintenance service and they may require lubrication, adjustment, or repair. Keep in mind, your Caravan is equipped with an automated oil-life reminder system and that short drives, or stop and start traffic, or operation in extreme cold or hot temps may cause this system to request an oil change as early as 5,500 km. My recommendation is to have an inspection twice a year. Whether or not you get oil changes is up to you, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d at least have a tech inspect the oil level and condition in order to make an appropriate recommendation. These services are usually priced at reasonable levels and often discounted as part of marketing and advertising programs.

EMC Lifestyle - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, I have a new Dodge Caravan. According to the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual the first oil change is due at 8,000 km. The dealership is telling me that in Canada the first change should be at 5,000 km. This is supposedly because of harsher weather conditions in Canada. I find this hard to believe. If it were true, surely Chrysler would publish an ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual for different areas of the country as the conditions are very different in say, Arizona and Michigan. I am a single woman pensioner and feel I am being taken for a ride! I would really appreciate your opinion on this.â&#x20AC;? Sincerely Chris Thanks for the inquiry. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not alone when trying to match what an automaker recommends in their ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manuals and what a dealership service department may be telling you. The biggest problem with longer service intervals is that for drivers that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commute on a daily basis they may not provide frequent enough inspections. If you drive less than 10,000 km per year, you could go almost a year between service visits. While the engine oil may not have any problem with this, there are hundreds of other com-
WASTE REDUCTION WEEK IN CANADA
OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2012 There are more and more waste reduction options available to residents of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Here are some of the newer options available to you: “Building Success One Student at a Time!”

It’s hard to believe that next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the invention of the Blue Box program in Kitchener, Ontario and that the world has adopted the program. It’s encouraging to see that in that time, we have moved up the hierarchy of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, to be recycling more materials, and to be focusing more on Reuse. Producer Responsibility is helping to do this. Producer Responsibility is the concept of making the manufacturers and retailers more responsible for the materials they produce. Since they now pay approximately 40% of the municipal cost of waste disposal and recycling, they are using their ingenuity to reduce costs. It also means that business is now finding ways to collect and recover more usable materials from our waste.
1702 9th Line, Beckwith 613-257-1539 www.twp.beckwith.on.ca
In this region, municipalities, non-profits and businesses are taking additional steps. Here are some examples: Take It Back Recyclopedia – www.REALaction.ca, Waste tab, Take It Back Recyclopedia. The municipalities of North Grenville, Perth, Mississippi Mills and Smiths Falls are supporting this REAL initiative that tells you exactly which retailers and non-profits will take back a whole range of items for Reuse, Recycling and proper disposal. This one-stop site lists everything from tires, to art, batteries, books, building supplies, cell phones, clothing, fluorescent light bulbs, electronics, furniture, hazardous waste, paint, pet meds, sports equipment, toiletries, and even weapons. Battery Recycling – The Town of Smiths Falls is about to embark on a pick-up program for small batteries. Bins will be placed around town and Cascades Recovery will pick them up and recycle them at their facilities. Organics Composting – More urban municipalities are looking to Perth’s lead in curb-side pick-up of organics.

Plastics – More plastics are now being recycled, and are easier to dispose of either through expanded Blue Box programs, or dump depots. Exchange or Swap Days – Now common in the area.

Hardy group survives heavy storm at MVFN Canoe Camp in Algonquin Park EMC Lifestyle - Coming through a drenching rain and high winds, which emptied most of Achray campsite in Eastern Algonquin Park, 41 members of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) actually enjoyed the challenges at their fifth annual Canoe Camp, Sept. 7 to 10. By pooling all picnic tables and camp stoves under a huge tarpaulin, members were able to continue cooking comfortably and taking part in activities in relative dryness. A few personal tents didn’t stand up to the continuous overnight downpour and six members packed up and went home to get dried out. At the Friday evening opening activities, Camp Leader Cliff Bennett welcomed all and introduced the camp committee members and explained their roles. Health and Safety leader Graham Hunt talked about regulations and practices the participants would be following to keep everyone as safe as possible during the next three day’s paddling. Doug YoungerLewis and Joyce Clinton
revealed the activities and program items to choose from during the camp and the sign-up process to be used. On Saturday, after the rain eased, the members divided into three activity groups. While one group chose to do the hike to High Falls and area, the other two decided to paddle in the rain; one travelling up Grand Lake and the other exploring around the local bays and wetlands. The Grand Lake group just got off the water in the afternoon when a real tempest stirred up the water’s surface. Sunday saw the paddlers join into three explorations. One group paddled across Grand Lake and up to the Carcajou Bay Falls, another cruised down the east side of Stratton Lake to explore the top of High Falls while the third group took the west side of Stratton, through a series of portages and small lakes to explore the bottom of High Falls. ‘Seeing Nature from the Water’ was the theme of the camp and an impressive list of flora and fauna were seen. Thirty species of
birds were listed including a barred owl, common merganser, ring-necked duck and green-winged teal, brown creeper, red-tailed hawk and great crested flycatcher. One black bear was spotted in the distance, a wolf and its juvenile appeared right behind one of the tents during the night and a painted turtle and a beaver were filmed during a canoe trip. Dining was a great feature of the camp and members served each other a pot-luck dinner on both Saturday and Sunday evenings. A formal campfire program was conducted on Sunday evening with many skits, songs and stories creating good laughter and camaraderie. After breaking camp on Monday, members had many choices including canoeing the famous Barron Canyon, exploring McGrath Lake or doing the hiking trail to the top of Barron Canyon. All returned home, happy and tired, without even a single scratch or upset canoe. Arne Snyder chaired the camp organizing committee, which started meeting
in April to prepare all of the details, site reservations, site lay-outs and registration of participants. The location for next year, MVFN’s sixth annual Canoe Camp, has not yet been settled but the dates will be Sept. 6 to 9, 2013. The MVFN canoeing program is a part of the Program Committee, chaired by Cathy Keddy. A new season of MVFN’s natural history lecture series has now begun at the Almonte United Church at 106 Elgin St. in Almonte. The next lecture will be held Thursday, Oct. 18; the presentation Beetles on the Ground will be given by well-known scientist Dr. Henri Goulet, Research Scientist Emeritus with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa. For further information please visit mvfn.ca or contact Cathy Keddy at 613-257-3089.
EMC Sports – Smiths Falls Bears find themselves in first place in the Central Canada Tier 1 Junior A Hockey League’s Robinson Division standings. Big reasons for that are some outstanding individual performances over the first month of the regular season. Tyler Akeson is Player of the Month. Akeson had a great month for the Bears scoring 13 points (all assists) in 10 games from the back-end. The Ottawa native plays in all situations and leads all defencemen in league scoring. Joining him this month is Bears netminder Patrick Martin who earns Goalie of the Month honours. Martin, who was Player of the Week in week 2 continued his stellar play going 6-3 overall for September. The 20 year-old goalie leads the league in wins and started every game in September.
Hunter Racine of the Ottawa Junior Senators is the Rookie of the Month award winner. Racine has adjusted nicely to the Junior A game scoring six points (3G, 3A) in seven games and is currently tied for rookie league scoring. The speedy right winger is one of the reasons that the Ottawa Junior Senators are currently first in the Yzerman Division and ranked 13th in the country. Honorable mentions Player of the Month – Forward Luke Edwards (Carleton Place Canadians) and forward Michael Buonincontri (Smiths Falls Bears). Goalie of the Month – Brandon Lane (Kanata Stallions) and Matt Zawadzki (Nepean Raiders). Rookie of the Month – D Kelly Summers (Carleton Place Canadians) and F Steve Cooney (Kemptville 73’s).

Spy thriller may lack grit but offers audience a fun ride are tense but that’s nothing new. They anchor the sailboat in a bay near a small village. Will decides to get some space from his father, and swims into the village. When he gets back the boat is missing. When Will finds it there’s no one aboard. Someone has taken his family. Will is suddenly caught in the middle of a spy game. His father isn’t the man he claimed to be but a CIA operative. Martin took a briefcase from enemy agents, and they’ve kidnapped his family to get it back. It falls to Will to navigate his way through this world of lies and deception in order to save his family. The Cold Light of Day isn’t a bad spy film. The story certainly captures
My Take MARK HASKINS
your interest, and has plenty of twists and turns. The chase scenes are frantic, and the performances are solid. I liked the idea of Will being plunged into this world with no warning, no training, and no tools to deal with it. What I didn’t like was the poor camera work. Night scenes were very difficult to see, the camera jumped around for no reason during the chase scenes making it hard to follow. Close-ups were oddly cropped making it difficult to tell what was
going on. The whole thing looked a bit like a high school project instead of a major motion picture. Henry Cavil gives a good performance. Will is a man on edge being equal parts scared, intense and angry, and Cavil nails it.

Lucia, Will’s half sister. She gets pulled into this whole mess along with Will. She’s scared and equally unprepared for what’s going on. Echegui gives a very honest and compelling performance. The Cold Light of Day is a good story. There were a few odd parts that seem overly complicated, and parts of the film look amateurish, but it’s a good story none-the-less.

When it comes to playing a hard case there aren’t many better than Bruce Willis. He has this air about him that screams ‘don’t mess with me’ which makes him the perfect choice to play a hardcore spy.

From Cattle to Cars: Local entrepreneur has positive impact on community When the Phillips Cables’ plant in Brockville closed in 1996, Arnold Dixon figured it was time for a change. Having worked there for a quarter century, since the age of 18, Dixon eventually landed on his feet with a new job at Shell Canada, but he felt he wanted more. “I said to myself, if I’m going to do something different, I’ve got to do it now,” he recalled. That something different was to enter the world of business, a path that has proven successful. The Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce named Dixon, now 57, Brockville’s 2011 Business Person of the Year. “It was totally unexpected,” Dixon recalled. “I was, I guess, somewhat overwhelmed when they told me about it.” Dixon’s local businesses include Dixon car and truck Rentals and pre owned vehicle sales in Kingston, Kia of Brockville/ Na-ES R E -E
TA B L
tional Car Rental business on Stewart Boulevard, the neighboring CARSTAR Collision, Brockville Dry Cleaners on Stuart Street, and Dixon’s Car Sales and Collision in Perth. He recently purchased the former Algonquin Public School building and is in the process of converting it into housing units for adult living. In addition to his operating several businesses, Dixon also farms 550 acres of land, raising beef cattle and Clydesdale horses. Of course, he does not do all of this on his own. “I have a lot of great people that work with me.” That great help includes his son, Adam, who takes care of the Perth business and his daughter, Ashley, who works with all locations. Dixon is also quick to credit his staff for the success of his businesses. A native of the North Augusta area, Dixon was raised on a dairy farm run by his father, Ivan, who also served
as Augusta Township’s deputy-reeve. He still lives on Dixon Road in Augusta Township, a road named after his great-grandparents. He also has four sisters and three brothers. A graduate of South Grenville District High School, Dixon always had an interest in business. He helped his dad with the farm’s books, and that big change he made, a year after the Phillips plant closed, was to buy the Brockville Dry Cleaners. Wanting to go further into business, he bought the National Tilden Car Rentals business from Stuart and Roma Simpson a year later. “I knew nothing about the car rental business and Roma stayed and helped train me and show me the way,” Dixon recalled. In operating that business, Dixon also sold used cars–to customers wanting to buy the rental vehicles they drove regularly—and eventually decided to dive into the car dealArnold Dixon ership trade.

Tay Valley cracks down on illegal trailers

HEALTHY DONATION The Perth Farmers’ market presented a cheque to The Table Food Centre in the amount of $1,040 recently. The funds were raised earlier this year when the Perth Farmers’ Market held its 20th anniversary luncheon for members.

Maberly rink likely to be removed, rebuilt on site By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Perth football teams fare well in Turkey Bowl action. — Page P21
EMC Sports – The Maberly outdoor hockey rink is to be decommissioned before the start of the 2012-13 season. But while the rink will be removed, it appears that it will be rebuilt on the same site. Tay Valley Township’s public works director John Simcock cited “health and safety issues at this location” for the staff decision to close the rink. More specifically, he referred to rusty nails poking out, as well as slip-trip-andfall hazards at the site. Even with this decision made, the community faced
several questions about the future of the rink. “If we demolish the existing rink, will we build another one?” Simcock said he was asked at a recent public meeting on the issue. Tay Valley Township’s Deputy Reeve Susan Freeman pointed out that a questionnaire on the future of the rink – asking questions such as whether it should be rebuilt on the same site or at a site closer to the community hall – is available online at the township’s web site or at the Maberly coffee shop. Freeman also pointed out that between the federal cen-
sus years 2006 and 2011, Maberly’s demographics have changed, with a decrease of 196 in those under the age of 16. “So, we have fewer young people in the municipality,” said Freeman, while there were 364 more people aged 65 in the community in that same period. “Our demographics are changing.” Reeve Keith Kerr, along with others at the committeeof-the-whole meeting in Glen Tay on Tuesday, Oct. 2, were heartened by the community response at the meeting. See RINK page P5
EMC News – Barring the unforeseen, Tay Valley Township intends to take errant illegal trailer owners to court. Last fall, the township council voted to enforce its zoning bylaws regarding trailers. Over the course of the summer, Tay Valley Township’s planner, Noelle Reeve, has received six fresh complaints of illegal trailers in Christie Lake, Bennett Lake and Narrows Lock Road. Of those, however, the Bennett Lake and Narrows Lock trailer owners have come in to speak to Reeve and are working towards a resolution on the matter, while the two outstanding complaints on Christie Lake have either rejected the allegations or failed to reply, and appear headed for court. “We have no record of trailers being allowed in the former townships (that now make up Tay Valley), of allowing trailers outside of a trailer park,” said Reeve at the township’s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2, with the deadline for replies from Christie Lake due two days later. “We do allow modular homes in the township. They are taxed as dwellings,” and have to meet certain criteria, such as having wheels removed. Reeve also reported that all three neighbouring municipalities do not allow people to use trailers as primary sources of residences, with the exception of Drummond/ North Elmsley where trailers can be used for visitors for up to 30 days. There are also accommodations made for people rebuilding their houses, though these trailers have to be hooked up to electrical and septic.
“You can store a trailer on your property,” said Reeve, before asking council if they wished to proceed with litigation against the errant properties, noting that each case could cost between $7,000 and $10,000 if it goes to court. “There is no point in issuing a letter if we don’t intend to follow up on it,” said Coun. RoxAnne Darling. “We have to go ahead with this,” said Coun. Bill Avery, who noted that the problem will only get worse if it is not corrected now. “On my way here tonight, I saw 10 trailers, one is new.” Chief administrative officer Malcolm Morris said that the Christie Lake trailer owners who have rejected the allegations or not responded to them should be dealt with for other reasons too. “This is a trial balloon to see what kind of voluntary compliance we can achieve,” said Morris. Council heard that there were allowances being made for extraordinary circumstances. One man who has had a complaint made against him serves in the military and will receive new orders in two weeks, which may require him to relocate, or not. The township has agreed not to prosecute until his future plans are settled by the military brass. Avery admitted that two of the Bennett Lake complaints are against his siblings, who have had their trailer covered with a tarp for at least 12 years. Avery added that if a trailer has a permanent structure, like a deck, attached to it, it should be taxed, but clerk Amanda Mabo pointed out that “in order for a trailer to be taxed, it has to meet criteria See TRAILERS page P5

Chlorella is one of the oldest forms of plant life on earth. It is a genuine whole superfood. It has the highest chlorophyll content of any known plant which gives it a deep rich green colour. Chlorophyll helps your body in so many ways. It helps you process more oxygen, helps purify your blood and get rid of toxins including mould. ScientiÂżcally, Chlorella is known as a single-celled freshwater microscopic algae. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cells are round in shape and almost the same size as human red blood cells. Chlorella has many clinically proven health beneÂżts. It has the remarkable ability to detoxify, energize, nourish and balance all of the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s systems for optimal function. No other plant grows as fast as Chlorella. Because it is such a nutrient-dense whole food that ensures you are obtaining all of your dietary needs, it has been studied extensively as a food for the future as our world population rapidly expands beyond our food production capabilities. There are thousands of research papers on chlorella from medical institutions, universities and scientiÂżc journals.
Chlorella is excellent for vegetarians due to its B-12 content and wide range of amino acids. The high level of amino acids ensures optimal healing and recovery to muscles and joints which makes it a great food supplement for all types of athletes and bodybuilders. Many people report that taking chlorella before meals acts like an appetite suppressant, likely because it contains such a wide variety of nutrients and Âżber so it will satisfy our nutritional needs and therefore, our appetite is reduced. One of the most amazing things about chlorella is the growth-stimulating activity of a substance called Chlorella Growth Factor. It is a complex chemical substance responsible for the rapid growth rate of chlorella, which quadruples about every 20 hours. Formed in the nucleus, this growth factor, when taken orally, stimulates tissue repair even in damaged or ulcerated tissues. Chlorella contains high levels of healing and antiaging factors. It has rich stores of complete protein and provides carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, Âżber and antioxidants. To summarize, Chlorella is a remarkable whole green food based supplement that will help you Ć&#x2021;remove potentially toxic metals from your body Ć&#x2021;boost your immune system Ć&#x2021;digest your food more efÂżciently Ć&#x2021;energize and invigorate your body With no known side effects or interactions, Chlorella is an ideal supplement for the entire family, from infants to seniors. It is also excellent for pets as well. Since Chlorella is a whole food it can be taken anytime, with or without food.

FALL WATER VALVE TURNING AND FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING PROGRAMS: From October 9th until October 26th, the Town of Perth will be conducting the annual water valve turning maintenance program within the municipal water distribution system. Fire hydrant flushing will take place from October 29th to November 2nd. Fluctuations in water colour and pressure may occur but will only be temporary while operations are being executed. Water customers are reminded to clear coloured water by turning on a cold water tap until the water flows clear. If additional concerns arise, please direct your inquiries to 613-267-1072.

Please refer to your present schedule to ensure proper sorting of recyclable and compostable materials. Note that newspapers should be removed from plastic bags before being placed in blue bins. When improper materials are found in recycling bins, the contents become part of the waste stream and reduce the effectiveness of the recycling program.
YOU CAN HELP BUILD A SPLASH PAD IN PERTH! At the regular September 2012 meeting, Perth Town Council passed a motion agreeing to build a splash pad in Perth. Staff are working with Finnegan Insurance to participate in the Aviva Community Fund in an effort to raise $150,000.00 to support the construction of a splash pad at Conlon Farm for the people of Perth and district. Unlike a traditional grant program, the Aviva Community Fund awards their grant through an on-line public voting mechanism. The projects with the most votes receives the funding. Finnegan Insurance (a broker of Aviva Insurance) has submitted the Perth & District Splash Pad for this funding. We are asking everyone in Perth and district to support this initiative by registering at the following website address to vote for this project. Please note that you are encouraged to vote DAILY in order to increase our chances of being successful for this funding. http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf14158 Conlon Farm would be the perfect location for a splash pad, as there are already recreational and washroom facilities on the property. The Aviva Fund would make our goal of having a splash pad in Perth a reality in a very short time. If you would like to help build a splash pad in Perth for all families to enjoy, all you have to do is vote! For more information, or to make a personal donation to the project, please contact Shellee Evans, Director of Community Services, at 613-267-3311.

This includes bio-degradable plastic bags which do not break down quickly enough to be used in Perth’s compost program.

Please refer to your waste collection calendar to identify what is acceptable green bin material. Paper bags or newspaper may be used as liners.

set out by MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation).â&#x20AC;? Coun. Brian Campbell wondered about enforcement, if a resident threw a tarp over a trailer for the winter, and then removed the tarp in the spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair to people who are paying big bucks on waterfront property, and they (illegal trailer owners) are not paying anything,â&#x20AC;? said Campbell. Reeve noted that the official plan review period will start in January of 2013, and
will take about a year, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait that longâ&#x20AC;? and that action can be taken more immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know of properties where they (trailers) are used as cheap housing,â&#x20AC;? said Reeve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think trailers are an option for housing,â&#x20AC;? added Coun. Wayne Jordan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is really an anti-elitist feeling here. (But) they are not safe to life in.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been enforcing it (trailer bylaws) we are seeing an increase,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Mark Burnham, who chaired the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Carleton Place, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t park a trailer in your driveway. They just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow it.â&#x20AC;?
Darling also said she wanted to see washrooms recomissioned on the site too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) put a port-a-potty there and hope it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get stolen like happened before,â&#x20AC;? said Freeman. To rebuild the facility at the existing site would cost about $10,000, but other sites, such as to the east of the play structure at the park near the public works building was identified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as moving it, I am not sure there is much of a point,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Bill Avery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (move it) in the near futureâ&#x20AC;Śwe need it where it is for this winter.â&#x20AC;? The decision will be forwarded to the next council meeting.

New recreational geology tourism attraction launches in Perth EMC News - The Ontario Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) has been busy working in conjunction with community organizations to prepare new and restored Recreational Geology tourism sites across the region. While many sites won’t reach full completion until spring 2013, some locations are already welcoming eager visitors. The
OHTO recently opened the Eganville Fossil Park’s new geology trail, and on Oct. 13 and 14 they will introduce a second attraction at the upcoming Grand Opening of the Perth Museum’s new geology display. The display at Perth Museum is focused around the work of a man who some consider to be Canada’s first Rec-
reational Geologist, Dr. James Wilson. The medical doctor turned amateur scientist became well known for his contributions to science, including the discovery of Wilsonite in 1853, and was frequently called upon by the Geological Survey of Canada. The new tourism attraction in Perth is a result of tremendous contributions and col-
laboration from the mineral collecting community, major research institutions and local volunteers, and is just one example of how recreational geology sites will enhance tourism in communities across Ontario’s Highlands. “Over the past year, the Recreational Geology Project has taken great strides towards becoming a truly authentic
experience of Ontario’s Highlands”, says Michael Bainbridge, OHTO Recreational Geology project coordinator. “From the Algonquin Highlands to the Tay Valley, it is our geology that unites us. Can there be any more unique experience of the Ontario’s Highlands than to take a hike, bike, dig, tour, or stroll through 1.5 billion years of
our common heritage?” The public is invited to attend the grand opening on Saturday at the Perth Museum on Gore Street. For more information, please contact the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization at 613-629-6486 or emily.sheff@ohto.ca. Submitted by Ontario Highlands Tourism Organization. R0011669747_1011

OPINION
Perth Courier - Your Community Newspaper
Getting the party re-started with Justin Trudeau? EMC Editorials – The name, the charisma – the hair! Yes, that along with a lovely, photogenic young family, are certainly good things for Justin Trudeau to have going in to the federal Liberal leadership race. But the last thing that the Liberals need now is yet another coronation. Oh, God save those poor schleps from another coronation. Do you not think that they learned their lesson from the Michael Ignatieff debacle? The Liberal tradition has been that, after a great defeat, they retreat, lick their wounds, get a new leader, have a major think-in (think of the Kingston conference in 1960 or the meeting in Quebec that created The Red Book for the 1993 vote) and come back to office. Well, we all know the story by now. They have been a party in decline for the past six years, under five leaders (Paul Martin, Bill Graham, Stephane Dion, Ignatieff, Bob Rae), they have gone from 103 seats in 2006 to just 34 in 2011. But, here’s the good thing – such a bloodletting may well prove cathartic. What has bedeviled the Liberals for years? Internal leadership jockeying. From 1968 onwards, it was Pierre Trudeau versus John Turner. Then Jean Chretien versus Turner. Then Martin versus Chretien, and finally Bob Rae versus Ignatieff. Now, maybe, finally, we are seeing a posteverything and everyone race. Look at the decimated Liberal ranks. Almost all of the Martin and Chretien-era cabinet ministers are gone. It’s a fresh start, of sorts, but not of their own making. While Trudeau’s entry into the race has done something no other Liberal MP could have done, namely, bringing much needed media attention to what could have been a race of pygmies, it may also scare off some minnows out of the pool, and some larger fish too. New Brunswick MP Dominic LeBlanc, son of former Governor General Romeo LeBlanc, who seemed ready to make a run back in 2008, has bowed out. Sure, didn’t he used to babysit Trudeau and his brothers? The Liberals, for the sake of Canadian
democracy, to have a credible third option at the national level, as a kind of lady-in-waiting to the government-in-waiting, they need an equally credible candidate to stand up to Trudeau. The name of Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of Canada, has been bandied about. He would bring an intellectual heft to the race that Trudeau simply does not bring. Sorry Justin, but even Maclean’s magazine had to point out in one of its many profiles of you that “Justin Trudeau is not an idiot.” And Carney would very quickly put paid to the Conservatives trying to paint the Liberals as a bunch of tax-and-spenders. And who better than the man trying to save the world economy, and rescue the Canadian one in his off time, to manage things? But he doesn’t seem interested and, frankly, who could blame him? We’re hearing less and less about the likes of former Newfoundland Premier Brian Tobin, who likely won’t run considering his son’s legal troubles, or former New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna. There does not appear to be a white knight, or knight of any other colour, in the wings. Montreal MP and former astronaut Marc Garneau may well be it, and he has the accomplishments out of politics to put up a real fight. The guy’s got the guts to go up against Trudeau. Remember, he too went up for the interim leadership position against Bob Rae. Candidate Deborah Coyne has already garnered some accolades for focusing on serious issues like supply management. Not exactly something to get people excited about, but then so much of government, really, is about sweating the small stuff. You know who would have been a good candidate, had he not opted instead to start a family with his partner? Nova Scotia MP Scott Brison. A former Progressive Conservative MP before jumping ship to the Grits, the openly-gay Brison is also a fiscal conservative, and former PC leadership candidate. He also has a young family and while no Obamalike charisma charmer, he certainly has an affable nature that’s hard not to like. Maybe he’ll reconsider, for the good of his party?

Watching for picnic areas EMC Lifestyles - One day last week I looked up and it was October. Whoa. How the heck did that happen? I am used to picking up the pace in the fall, but this autumn seems to be slipping by faster than ever. We had a great summer. Work was manageable and we were able to take two weeks off and do some great family stuff near the end of August. We had such a good time that the transition back to school and the regular work routine was, well, abrupt. As the September start line appeared before us, a voice in my head was shouting: “On your mark…get set....” Accordingly, I scrambled to get as much advance prep done for clients and my Algonquin courses as I could. I have a heavier load than usual, and I knew if I didn’t have several weeks done in advance, I’d be off the pace from the start. “Go!” the voice shouted. Now, in October, I find myself catching up to my prep, so the voice is quoting a famous Disney fish: “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....” Time is such a funny thing (funny haha or funny strange?). When you’re a kid and have, theoretically, tonnes of it ahead of you, time seems like a long, straight, boring road and you are inching and creeping along. You just can’t wait to get around the next bend or over a hill and be a bit

Past Deadline older so you can see what lies ahead. Then, you hit the point when that road is filled with twists and hairpin curves and bumps and steep hills and occasional dark valleys and you have to drive fast and you can’t see all the sights. There are just too many things to squeeze into the hours of the day, and you find yourself wishing either that you had a clone or that you could recoup all those wasted hours daydreaming when you were a kid. (Actually, I only want the clone. Without all that daydreaming and cloud watching and star gazing I wouldn’t be who I am today. The clone would do the housework.) It seems to be true that time speeds up as you get older. I’ve heard so many freshly retired people proclaim they don’t know how they ever had time to get everything done

when they were working, given how busy they are now that they are retired. (I just smile and nod as I juggle meetings and work and dental appointments for kids and volunteer stuff and 17 minutes of sleep. If retirement is busier, then I’m never going to stop working!) I wonder if it comes full circle when you get even older – if time stretches out again like a long, slow highway, with a destination not quite visible on the horizon. Or is it like a sloping, downward hill and you coast along? Or a steep, hard climb to a summit? I suppose it depends on how the earlier twists and turns worked out. The hard part is remembering to pull into the rest stops now and again and have (literally or figuratively) a picnic or enjoy the view or take one of those naps you missed as a little kid when you were too busy running down the road of life to sleep. Doing that seems to be more and more important as the drive gets faster and faster. You don’t want to run out of gas, after all. And because we don’t really know the route or have a map or GPS on this particular highway, you just never know where the proverbial gas stations and rest stops are going to be – so don’t skip them all! Now...let’s see how well I practice what I preach. “Just keep driving, just keep driving....”

Spartans host bake sale for Otesha
Barbara Ann Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connection to Perth EMC Lifestyle - On Sunday, Sept. 30, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skating icon, Barbara Ann Scott, passed away at the age of 84. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime achievements were re-told with national media recalling her winnings on ice, as she remains the only Canadian woman to earn a gold medal in individual figure skating. Hailing from Ottawa, Scott has remained the national capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweetheart, and the Ottawa Citizen did a fourpart story feature on her life in its Oct. 2 edition. In one of these stories, a quick fact caught my eye. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Clyde Rutherford Scott, was a First World War veteran left for dead at Ypres. According to the article, a curious dog found Scott and a German soldier brought him to a hospital. Following his recovery in Europe, Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father returned home to his family in Perth. He then married Mary Purves, and the couple moved to Ottawa where they raised their three children, including their youngest, Barbara Ann. Who knew the Scott family had a Perth connection? No, really, who knew? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my official call-out: does anyone know of Clydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connections to Perth and whether or not Barbara Ann visited her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown? Please let me know about it. Take a walk on the other side Are there certain buildings in Perth that give you the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;there-is-probably-most-def-

Moms set up their own tables, selling any baby and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s items they no longer need in their household, passing it along to other moms at decent prices. But what about the moms themselves? A few local mothers had the idea to host a woman-to-woman sale. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same concept, but selling womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing and items. The woman-to-woman sale will take place at the Asbury Free Methodist Church in Perth on Nov. 10 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Any leftover items will be donated to the Interval House in Carleton Place.

This walk is the perfect opportunity to get geared up for Halloween while also taking in a different perspective of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. The walk will take place, rain or shine and starts and begins at the Perth Museum. Cost is $10 per adult, $5 per child or there is a $25 family rate.

To the Editor, Please note that there is consideration for the Town of Perth to come up from the dark ages and go WiFi, yet the town cannot consider putting hand rails at store fronts so the handicapped would have access to stores in Perth. Us old folks would like to patronize the establishments but cannot get into stores due to no hand rails for access. We must drive 25 minutes away to shop, yet Perth wants to go WiFi. Figure that one out. Maybe Perth needs to forget Heritage Perth and think of its senior citizens. Barbara Cohrs Perth

A few times I’ve lost the orange markers completely and so I end up comparing my GPS position on my iPhone with the trail map online. Not particularly woodsy I realize but it lets me know where we are and how to find our way. A lot of people I love have gotten lost along the way in life. Lines get blurred. They lose sight of the things in life that give us perspective and help us gauge where we are. And when you’re lost and can’t find your way, sometimes you just have to bounce a signal off something beyond this planet to get a lock on where you are and how to find your way back home.

ible from between the leaves at a certain angle when you are practically on top of it. Some of them have fallen off or look like they’ve been pried off. Some are overgrown. Hunting for those markers is part of the adventure. You’d never know the trail without them. All in all, it’s not unlike the journey of faith. There’s beauty and wonder. The path forward has been clearly marked even if at times that’s difficult to see. You can leave the path if you choose, but then you’re just walking in the woods. And there’s no way to get home if you don’t get back on track.

Mr. Doering’s novel develops a Canadian story behind these St. Lawrence battles, of Dundas County loyalist families who, having lost their homes 30 years earlier in the American Revolutionary War, are threatened once again. The story describes the skirmishes along the Canadian shore of the St. Lawrence River, culminating in the dramatic Battle of Crysler’s Farm, seen through the eyes of a young Dundas County militiaman Thomas Marselis. Mr. Doering will use the novel as the basis to explore a number of historiographical myths that, in his view, require rebalance. Doering is currently the Chief Federal Negotiator on the Algonquin land claim. Our Nov. 21 meeting will feature John McKenty, of Drummond/North Elmsley Township, and his just released book,” Arden Blackburn’s Mail Route – The Early Days at Christie Lake”. Perth Historical Society is dedicated to studying and popularizing our area’s rich history and culture, and providing a forum for discussion and celebration of our heritage.

EMC Religion - Since we moved to Perth last July, we’ve been looking for trails to hike. We asked around and looked around. The options seemed limited. There’s a short trail starting from the Perth Wildlife reserve but once we covered that then what? Then this summer we discovered the Rideau trail which starts at one end in Kingston, winds up through Perth, and eventually ends in Ottawa. So we started out in Perth one day in August and have been covering four to seven kilometres at a time. Every outing is a little different. The terrain changes. The sights have included rivers, damns, trees and plants of every kind. We’ve spotted hawks, deer, snakes and frogs. We’ve walked along the back of farmers’ fields, and down country roads. We’ve scrambled through meadows and negotiated marshlands. At times the trail is clear, and at other times it’s grown over and not obvious at all. Sometimes we’ve gotten off

EMC News - For our October meeting, the Perth Historical Society will enter the terrifying world of the Canadians along the St. Lawrence River as they faced the largest American army to attack our country in the War of 1812. Ronald L. Doering, Ottawa lawyer and former senior Federal deputy minister, will present his recently published historical novel “Defending Our Homeland - Loyalist families of Dundas County and the Battle of Crysler’s Farm” – bringing the war to the lower St. Lawrence doorstep. Accounts of 1812-1814 often focus on the well-known land and water battles from Queenston Heights and York to Lake Ontario. However, in the fall of 1813 the Americans organized for a two-pronged attack in the east that had the potential to take the St. Lawrence from Prescott to Montreal - and decide the war. At the far east the eventual Canadian victory at Chateauguay, south of Montreal, turned aside one half of the assault. To the west, an American force of 8,000 sailed from Sacket’s Harbour, and eventually crossed into Canada east of Prescott. A British-Canadian detachment, from Kingston and Prescott, caught up to them near Crysler’s farm. On November 11, 1813, outnumbered by four to one, the combined force of several British regiments and Royal Artillery, the Canadian Voltigeurs, Fencibles, Dundas militia, Mohawks, and possibly Leeds Militia won the day.

My Town’s Got Talent finalists announced Talent Finale Oct. 26 at the Mason Theatre EMC News - Once again, the talented youth of Lanark County came out to audition for this year’s show. “We had over 50 performers – dancers, singers, duets, trios, poets and musicians – audition”, said Artistic Director Christy Bindhardt, “and it was really tough to choose the 15 semifinalists. “We were blown away by the talent this year – the variety and the depth was amazing. Truly, it is the best yet!” What started off as a dream of Notre Dame High School student Jeff Gourgon, has turned into an annual event, with the show now in its third year. Auditions were held last week in Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, and Perth at local High Schools – Almonte District, Notre Dame Catholic, Smiths Falls & District and Perth & District. “We really appreciate the support of the schools, and both the UCDSB and CDSBEO for letting us use their facilities – it makes it so much easier for the youth to access the auditions”, noted
the show’s Producer, Fraser Scantlebury, of the United Way Lanark County. “Our finale will be at the Mason Theatre at Perth & District Collegiate Institute on October 26th – admission is by donation at the front door, and we are looking forward to a great show, with our fantastic youth talent!” “At the Finale, the semifinalists will perform for the audience and our panel of celebrity judges from Lanark County, who will select the five finalists,” according to Bindhardt, “and these acts will then perform once again, with the audience selecting the final winner. Each year the voting for the top five has been close, and we expect the same this year, with such a talented group of performers.” Bindhardt went on to explain a new addition to the selection process of the finalists this year. “We are allowing the fans to help choose the final five, by allowing them to vote for their favorite act, by donating $5 on-line to the United Way Lanark County, at www.mtgt.org. There will be video there from the auditions, and more video to come later in the month. These
votes will be combined with the celebrity judges’ choices to select the final five.” Like last year, the final five will return to the stage for one more performance. “Then, it’s up to the audience to select the winner of MTGT for 2012”, said Bindhardt, “as each member of the audience receives one ballot to vote for their choice, to see who will take home the title of Best in Lanark County, back to their hometown!” The 15 semi-finalists are: duet Amanda Reside & Phillippa MacDonald, Zach Dods AKA Dj FrOsT, dancer Lauren Mendham, singer Alexander Cox, a trio - Sara Milligan, Max Berkowitz, & Liam Mansfield, singer Seo-Yeon Park, dancer Joshua Ivens, singer and pianist Ray Billiald, singer Monica Guerin, guitarist and singer Danny Bower, singer Keala Traversy, slam poet Santinka Schilling, singer Miranda Wilson, acoustic guitarist Isaiah Kafrissen, and a trio, Jovian Sound - Elizabeth Pierman, Tom Coyne, & Jono Townsend. “These performers will provide the audience with a tough choice,” according to Bindhardt, “any one of these acts could be number one!”

Witches, warlocks, Mister Chase may be the comedy hit wicked tunes on tap of the season at Full Circle Theatre EMC News - While Halloween has long been marketed as a holiday for children, there's still plenty of adults who like to get together, dress up, and explore the world of the spooky come the end of October. With that in mind, the Classic Theatre Festival is hosting a Witches and Warlocks Halloween Ball on Friday, Oct. 26, beginning at 8 p.m. at the Civitan Club in Perth (6787 County Road 43). Whether folks are in costume or not, they'll be welcome to attend and enjoy the music, dancing, complimentary food, and special decorations. Organized by Festival Board President Marie Shaw, the evening, for those aged 19 and older, will feature dancing tunes by well-known area DJ Kevin Carnrite as well as costume contests. There will also be some particularly intriguing visuals, from meticulously decorated witches hats and a giant spider that will perform some amazing tricks come the witching hour to "Toonie Terrors," an opportunity to be photographed in (and receive a copy of) a particularly ghoulish scenario. A number of the coveted decorated witches' hats will be silent auction items, and are currently on display in the storefront window of Mariposa Design, at 73 Foster St, and at Streve, 16 Gore Street E. Individuals can place bids at
both locations, with the winning bid announced at midnight on Oct. 26. "It's all in good fun" says Shaw, who has frequented Halloween gatherings south of the border in Salem, Massachusetts, where people gather annually. And it's also welcoming to folks who don't feel like dressing up, but appreciate the creative vibe of such a gathering. "It's fair to say that just as we love theatre, which in many ways is watching people dress up and become different characters, this is also a form of theatre that everyone can participate in," she says, "It's fun, it's a night out, and it's memorable. A chance to come out with your friends, try and guess who might be underneath a mask or layers of makeup, and maybe just revel that this is the last time you can go out to a party without wearing the big boots and a parka until the spring." Costumes are not required to take part in the ball - there will be plenty of space on the dance floor for those who simply want to boogie - and there will be a good supply of Halloween-themed food and treats as well. For tickets to the Halloween Ball, call 1-877-283-1283 or visit Tickets Please, 39 Foster Street, in Perth (613-485-6434). Submitted by Classic Theatre Festival
Lions Club announces its draw winners
EMC News - It's faster than a slamming door; more hilarious than a pair of dropped pants. It's BarnDoor Productions' new translation of Georges Feydeau's riotous farce, Mister Chase! Perth's original community theatre is opening their 18th season on Oct. 12 with a barnburner of a comedy. Mister Chase! is naughty, silly and outrageously funny. To say that it's "laugh-aminute" is to seriously underestimate the number of laughs: it's closer to "laugh-asecond". The word-play is as fast and furious as the physical humour as bodies and puns fly through the air in a non-stop romp. Moricet has long wanted to seduce Leontine, wife of his best friend Duchotel. When it looks like Duchotel is off having an affair of his own, rather than going hunting as he tells his wife, Leontine agrees to go to Moricet's bachelor apartment at 40 Rue D'Amour for a night
of ... amour. This being a farce, you know that nothing will go right with that plan. The cast of characters who parade, run, race and hurl themselves in and out of the doors at Moricet's apartment keep the laughs rolling continuously. The cast of nine players include both new faces and old favourites. Joe Laxton is Duchotel, the philandering hunter; Karen Bernique is Leontine, driven to extremes by her husband's hunts; Doug Barr in his first BDP role is the sauve Moricet, whose best-laid plans go far astray. We also meet Grace Main as the faded Madame Latour, a woman who has seen, and done, it all, Ian Jenner as the befuddled Commissioner Bridois, an inept policeman who pre-dates Inspector Clouseau; BDP newcomer Shelby Metz as Babette, the long-suffering maid and Brady Johnson as Gontran, a young man who is learning about life at 40 Rue D'Amour. David Bird, one of BDP's
favourite performers (last summer's The Love List being his latest), is Duchotel's hapless friend, whose unfaithful wife starts the whole farce rolling. The play is BarnDoor Productions' own translation from the original French. Georges Feydeau is the acknowledged master of French farce, the man who perfected "ooh-lala!" Mister Chase! (or Monsieur Chasse! in the original) was his first big hit, in 1892, and it launched a career that spanned three decades. His plays are still being performed all over the world in many languages and translations. Monsieur Chasse! though, has been largely overlooked, even though it's as crazy and funny as any of Feydeau's other plays. This new translation and adaptation brings the show back where it belongs: on the stage and in front of a laughing crowd. Mister Chase! is just the first show of BarnDoor's four

Pre-drinking as big a problem as party-drinking for youth: health unit desmond.devoy@metroland.com
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Local youth pre-drinking at the homes of friends before hitting the town is a growing problem in Lanark County, according to the health unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (youth) do drink a lot in groups but there is a lot of pre-drinking,â&#x20AC;? said Bonnie Schnittker, public health nurse with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They go to someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house before a party (to drink)â&#x20AC;ŚYouth are going out
and consuming a lot of alcohol at weekends and it can carry over into the week.â&#x20AC;? Schnittker was speaking at the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards meeting at the Beckwith Township council chambers in Blacks Corners on Wednesday, Oct. 3. According to statistics, in 2009, 50 per cent of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark residents aged 20 and up reported having had five drinks or more on at least one occasion in the previous 12 months.
That number is only 37 per cent province-wide. Amongst youth in their teens to early 20s, the number is still above the provincial average locally, at 35 per cent, compared to 25 per cent across Ontario. Schnittker believes that even now, three years later, those local statistics still hold true. For health professionals such as herself, she is seeking to dig deeper into the statistics so as she can see just where the drinking is taking place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there drinking associat-
ed with sports events? We are looking at that,â&#x20AC;? said Schnittker. Schnittker can now usually be found in the health unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Almonte office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news that we have opened another office for service delivery,â&#x20AC;? said Schnittker.

Brenda Hurrle, representing Interval House, addresses the Tay Valley Township town council on Oct. 2, asking for their financial help to get the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter out of a $59,000 budget deficit. to do.â&#x20AC;? Something else that Hurrle finds stressful is that Interval House has had to turn away 60 women from the shelter in recent times because â&#x20AC;&#x153;we just did not have the room.â&#x20AC;? Even now, in 2012, some people are still not getting the message when it comes to domestic violence. Hurrle recalled how, that very day, she was standing in line at a box store in the county, with an older man and woman standing in line in front of her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move fast enough for him,â&#x20AC;? said Hurrle because he pushed her to get her moving. Then, realizing that Hurrle had seen what had happened, â&#x20AC;&#x153;he just rolled his eyes,â&#x20AC;? Hurrle said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was shocked,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young women are finding themselves beaten up. There is emotional, financial, technical abuseâ&#x20AC;Ś We believe that women and their children have a right to live with dignity and without violence.â&#x20AC;? Hurrle reiterated that, as a former United Way head, she appreciates the hard work done by the agency, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we are not a (United Way) memberâ&#x20AC;? because Interval Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two largest fundraisers occur during the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising period, when member agencies are forbidden from raising funds for themselves. Tay Valley Township voted to include Hurrleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding request to its budget deliberations.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The number of first-time domestic assault occurrences is increasing. That was the stark reality presented by former United Way of Lanark County head Brenda Hurrle to Tay Valley Township council last week, as she sought funding from them for Interval House of Lanark County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There seems to be a firsttime occurrence increasing,â&#x20AC;? said Hurrle, a former municipal politician, having sat on Mississippi Mills town council, pointed to OPP statistics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see rising rates of violence.â&#x20AC;? She noted that there are a number of reasons behind this, including the sluggish economy, exacerbated by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;farming drought of this past summer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our demand is increasing and it is increasing because of our economic situation,â&#x20AC;? Hurrle added. Because of a decline in government funding, Interval House is facing a deficit of $59,000, but she added that each time a woman is abused, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this costs each of us as taxpayersâ&#x20AC;? when the police have to become involved, and when that woman has to access health care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We, like any other social service agency, are doing more with less,â&#x20AC;? she said. Administrative staff hours have been reduced, and even the money for toys for children and outings has been reduced. Even donors are feeling the burnout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of fatigue out there for donors,â&#x20AC;? said Hurrle. Interval House will be approaching Lanark County council for funding but, in the meantime, they are asking larger communities like Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills, Perth and Smiths Falls to put forward line items in their town budgets for $5,000, while smaller townships like Drummond/North Elmsley, Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands, Beckwith and Montague, are being asked for $3,000, for a total of $35,000. Hurrle also pointed out that, as a rural community, rural women trying to escape an abusive relationship face challenges that their urban sisters do not, or do not face as starkly, like a lack of transportation alternatives, and the increased
presence of weapons. Between April 2011 and March of 2012, Interval House received 2,259 crisis calls for 481 women and 141 children, though many of he women were so scared, they did not even want to report which community they lived in. Of those that did report their community, 5.16 per cent were from Mississippi Mills, 29.70 per cent were from Carleton Place, one per cent were from Lanark Highlands, 8.97 per cent from Perth and 15.06 per cent from Smiths Falls. But even here the numbers do not tell the whole story, especially for places like Lanark Highlands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may live in Lanark Highlands, but your address is RR 1 Perth,â&#x20AC;? said Hurrle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran into this as chair of the (Lanark County) United Way,â&#x20AC;? where location statistics would sometimes get bundled up with Perth. She promised that Interval House would â&#x20AC;&#x153;ask better questionsâ&#x20AC;? to better determine where in the county the women and their children are coming from. She commended the hard work being done by staff and volunteers at Interval House, but the hunt for dollars to keep the place open means that these staffers are not living out their intended mandate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are becoming grant application writers and fund raisers instead of dealing with women in need,â&#x20AC;? said Hurrle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very stressful. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what we are mandated

campers out to join us for a few sessions. We are spending the next few weeks closing down our gardens, planting in a large plot of garlic (look for us next year at the Garlic Festival!) and preparing for our garden extension at Last Duel campground. Next season, we will be doubling the size of this garden – up to 8000 square feet – giving us more room to grow good food, experiment with different growing approaches, and welcome new garden members to come out and join us. If anyone wants to get involved next season, get in touch with Christine, the garden coordinator (details below). We know that there are many more folks on tight incomes in our community who would enjoy the fresh produce, and enjoy coming together to learn gardening with others. Experienced gardeners with skills to share are also most welcome! Overall, we were very lucky to experience no vandalism and only limited ‘pilfering’ of the produce from our community garden. Given that our gardens are both easily accessible to the public, we did expect a few curious fingers to help themselves over the course of the summer. As long as it was just a sample and the food was enjoyed, we really don’t mind (especially if it entices people to come out and join us as a garden member!). But in late September, we did experience an unfortunate theft of much of our remaining squash, melons and other produce. Given the method and amount taken in this one heist on the weekend of Sept. 22, local police were notified

EMC News - We have had a spectacular season this year in our community garden at Last Duel campground and our backyard garden at The Table Community Food Centre at 190 Gore Street (formerly the Perth and District Food Bank). We want to extend a huge thank you to our many garden members and volunteers who devoted their time and shared their expertise with us. In total, we had 79 keen gardeners join us throughout the season, with a solid crew of 12-15 gardeners who came out on a regular basis as often as three times a week, forming the strong roots of our garden program! And despite it being a dry summer, we managed to grow an amazing 1500 lbs. of produce in our gardens, with approximately 60 per cent of the fresh veggies going home with our low-income garden members, and 40 per cent coming in to feed our programs at The Table, including the Food Bank, Community Kitchen classes and Community Meals. None of this would have been possible without the generous support from the Town of Perth, EcoPerth and the Earth Day Community Environment Fund who provided us with the land and resources we needed to start up our garden program this year. Special thanks also go out to Paul Pospisil for his tomato and garlic advice, Andrew Gehrke for his much-enjoyed yoga sessions for gardeners, Carolyn Crosby from St. Luke’s High School for hosting us on a visit to their school garden, Transition Perth for including us in their garden tour, and the Shomria Camp for sending 23 of their young

Motorcycles, curious cats signs of United reverendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival New Lanark-Balderson United Church Minister wants to make churches more accessible By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
â&#x20AC;&#x153;(They were) 10 wonderful years,â&#x20AC;? she said of her time in Caledon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It was) probably time to move. I was probably starting to repeat myself.â&#x20AC;?

Rev. Shelley Roberts is the new minister at the United churches in Lanark and Balderson. The mother of four grown children, she recently moved from Caledon, Ont., northwest of Toronto, with her husband, a former trucker. At left, she stands in front of her new spiritual home in Lanark, while above, she has a quick cuddle with one of her two cats, who have really made the Lanark church their own. around the world and we were singing the same hymns,â&#x20AC;? as she sang back in Canada, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and doing ministry to the poor.â&#x20AC;? While her children were growing up, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent valuable years as a lay person within the church,â&#x20AC;? doing everything from teaching Sunday school to choir, to being involved in the churchwomenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point having a minister if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have all of these wonderful lay people,â&#x20AC;? said Roberts. She also did community development work in Cobourg, called Horizons of Friendship, which offered â&#x20AC;&#x153;justice as opposed to charity,â&#x20AC;? she said. In
between this work and raising a family, she did other jobs like managing a Canada Post franchise for five years and working in the classified department of the now-defunct Oshawa Times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My life experience in the church as a volunteer is really important to me as a minister because I have been there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The life experience is valuable.â&#x20AC;? She does not intend to steam roll new ideas and initiatives during her first year in office, preferring instead to see how things operate and what is needed, like continuing on the good work of the food bank

suddenly there would be children,â&#x20AC;? with the arrival of this mythical, perfect reverend. Here in Lanark, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they have a broader vision than keeping the doors open. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just work together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church.â&#x20AC;? One practical matter she would like to tackle though is the issue of accessibility at the churches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight but we are looking at how we can be more accessible,â&#x20AC;? with the addition of ramps and accessible washrooms, as the population ages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will come.â&#x20AC;?

Another reason she is glad to have been called to Lanark was because of the unrealistic expectations she would have faced at other churches in the province where she applied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they could just find the right person, their 50 people would become 500,â&#x20AC;? she said of some of these interviews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had no children and R0011669743_1011
She was born just north of Oshawa, Ont., while her husband, with whom she has four grown children, was born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. She went to Trent University in Peterborough, Ont., to study English and philosophy, before going on to Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto for divinity school. But even before she went to Toronto to study theology, she knew, in Grade 12, that she wanted to go into the ministry, spurred in part by an exchange trip she made to Peru. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was living with a Catholic, Spanish-speaking family,â&#x20AC;? she recalled, and she attended Catholic Mass every Sunday with them, but she also sought out the only English-speaking, Protestant church in the country at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a lot of social justice work in the barrios,â&#x20AC;? the poorer neighbourhoods. The trip also made her appreciate the wider Protestant communion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went halfway

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Where Rev. Shelley Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motorcycle is, so too is her husband, a reassuring site now outside of the Balderson United Church on Sunday mornings. Just as Matthew 18:20 reminds us that â&#x20AC;&#x153;for where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them,â&#x20AC;? the presence of the Roberts family, their two cats in tow, is not far behind at the United Churches in Balderson and Lanark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They tend not to start Sunday services until he arrives,â&#x20AC;? said Roberts with a laugh of her former trucker husband Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current set of wheels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting as many waves as I do! (Balderson and Lanark) are very, very welcoming communities in the best sense of village life.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, the two cats have truly taken to their new home beside the Lanark church that they see it as their second home, in a way that Roberts, the new reverend, has never seen them become attached to any of her other churches. The cats have already dropped in on choir practice and her office in the church basement. She began her duties on Sept. 1, but made a point to be on hand for the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th anniversary celebrations earlier this year, riding on a float in the parade and drawing a winning ticket at the Legion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like small communities. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our preference.â&#x20AC;? Roberts has just wrapped up 10 years as minister at Palgrave United Church in Caledon, Ont., having served before then at Lefroy United Church in Innisfil, and MacTier-Foots Bay in the Muskoka region.

Donate to Harvest Campaign: help put food on The Table
CRAZY WIGS FOR TERRY FOX EMC Events – Students from Queen Elizabeth School in Perth raised $4,000 for the Terry Fox Run last month. Students were challenged by teacher Cora Dean (centre) who wore her crazy wigs throughout the course of their fundraising efforts to boost enthusiasm and participation. Pictured with dean are students Faith Marsh and Nora Christy on the left and Ben Drouin on the right.
Films for the heart and soul at Spiritual Cinema EMC Events - The Sedona feature was well received. Some folks met me afterwards and commented on what a deep and moving experience the film provided. The remarkable beauty of that part of Arizona contributed greatly to this uplifting movie. It was also noted how the first short, speechless event showed the problems that the new social technologies are causing in face-to-face communication between people, but was virtually contradicted by the feature, Sedona, which showed how important it is to have these technologies available in many circumstances. Now to the October films. In keeping with rotating Features with Shorts, we have four excellent selections for your enjoyment and enlightenment. The line up looks like this
with two new ones to lead off. Minka. A documentary about place and memory, a farmhouse in Japan, and the lives of the people who called it home. Selected at Aspen Shortsfest and Palm Springs ShortFest, it is 15 minutes in English Dinner with Fred: An 86-year-old poultry pioneer tells his grandson the story of how chickens saved his life in 1940s Canada. Inspired by a true story and is 24 minutes in English There will be a brief Intermission at 3 p.m. The remaining two short films come at the request of some folks for a replaying of films shown many years ago. If you haven’t seen them, you will find them quite special. If you have seen them, you will discover new aspects by
seeing them again. Out of Proportion: This very funny short was a real audience favourite at our recent Spiritual Cinema Festival-at-Sea. It reminds us that if we don’t face the emotions we’re going through, we can really get out of balance and behave in a way that’s truly Out of Proportion is 12 minutes in English. Warning – some adult language. American Made: An East Indian family during a road trip has a car breakdown. Who will help them? This is a beautiful story of familial love and loyalty that demonstrates the flexibility needed
during this time in history of our religion, faith and beliefs. It’s 30 minutes in English. The shows are playing at McMartin House, 125 Gore St. E., Perth, with an accessible ramp and comfortable seating. There is no charge to see the films, but a small donation to pay for the rental of the room is welcome, but not necessary. We are an informal group sharing the experience of films which explore what it means to be a caring, questioning human. For information, contact Jim Deacove 613 267-4819. Submitted by Jim Deacove

In our first six months as a community food centre, 1,290 Perth community members have benefitted from our programs. We served 4384 healthy meals and snacks! Our programs are having a lasting effect on the lives of individuals and families. The mother of a young lad who took part in the After-school program told us that ”he got a lot out of it and brought a lot home”. He cooked her a Mother’s Day dinner from a healthy recipe he’d learned at The Table. Programs were delivered with the help of 114 volunteers who gave over four thousand hours of their time, not to mention their talent. It has been an exciting and rewarding year all round! This year the Perth Golf Course is helping us to kick off the Harvest Campaign with a Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 13 from 8 to 11:30 a.m. The Perth Golf Course is opening its doors to the whole community for this event.

From Nigerian ‘princes,’ ‘soldiers’ to hard-luck ‘grandkids’: Lanark County OPP fraud squad’s top four scams desmond.devoy@metroland.com

instance, it is important to pay attention to details that are provided. “A guy in Scarborough is not going to be handling money for the Canadian military,” said Beechey. One lady involved in this soldier scam was bilked out of $25,000. Words of warning “If it sounds too good to be true, it is,” said Beechey. “Don’t just trust it because it has a seal on it.”

Most online sellers are reputable people. But even at that, sites like Kijiji, UsedOttawa, UsedLanarkCounty, and Craig’s List, are used by disreputable people to carry out fraud. If you want to sell a laptop online for, say, $500, and get an email from someone wanting to buy it for $1,000, be suspicious. “Here’s a cheque for $1,000,” the scammer will say, but then will ask for the $500 difference to be wired
to him. Or, the scammer will send you the cheque, only to have the bank come back to you and say that it is not real, or has bounced. “Why would anyone pay more than what it is worth?” asked Beechey, who also warned people to be wary of money orders as well, since they too can be fake. “Nobody wants to pay $20,000 for your 1998 Honda Civic.” Wire transfers are a favourite of scammers since they are so hard to trace, but what is a lot easier to trace is your personal information online. Using social media sites like Facebook, Beechey is able – for good reasons – to find out a lot of personal information

EMC News – A Nigerian prince needs your help in getting his fortune out of Africa and into a safe Canadian bank. And he’s chosen you – yes, you, randomly chosen person, – to help him. He just needs you to wire him some money to clear taxes, bribes, et cetera, and then you’ll get your cut. If this was an email, you likely would have deleted it by now. And yet, according to OPP Det. Const. Chris Beechey, this is one of the top four frauds being perpetuated in Lanark County. And yes, people fall for it. “There are different frauds. There are thousands of them,” said Beechey at the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards meeting at the Beckwith Township council chambers Wednesday, Oct. 3. “Obviously there is no $12 million. While the Nigerian prince – or businessman, or former dictator, or finance minister – is becoming more well known, other frauds prey on people’s vulnerability and compassion, like the so-called “Grandparent Scam.” “It targets the elderly,” said Beechey. “It is a cold call.” The victim will often get a call from someone purporting to be a grandchild who is in serious trouble, needing bail money, or they have had their cash stolen while on vacation and they need money wired as soon as possible to help them out. Some grandparents, who may have dozens of grandchildren in larger families, may not remember the names of all of their grandchildren, said Beechey. In his own family, there are up to 30 grandchildren. As a result, many inadvertently help the scammers out. “Is this Cody? Is this Tommy?” they will ask, and the scammer will latch on to one name, like a wedding crasher. The audacity of scammers is also growing as they widen their net. A scam sent by fax went over the wires – to the OPP’s Lanark County headquarters in Perth. Insp. Gerry Salisbury, detachment commander of the Lanark County OPP, held up his BlackBerry and showed that he had received an email scam that very week, and Beechey’s mother phoned him up to say that “I got an email from Chico Sanchez,” a famous, almost ridiculous-sounding scammer cover name. Another scam that plays on people’s emotions, and patriotism, is the Canadian solider fraud, supposedly from one of our soldiers still on duty in Afghanistan. The “solider” will strike up an online relationship with someone and, in time, say that they want to marry them – but they need money wired to them in order to get leave. Beechey noted that, in this

about people, like children’s and pet’s names, addresses, contact information, mother’s maiden name, birthdates, and the like, which can be used to set up fake documents, attain mortgages, and even scam people. In order to test out your Facebook privacy settings, he recommended setting up a fake shell site and trying to access your real Facebook site from there. “Make sure your privacy settings are locked down,” said Beechey. Technologically savvy scammers will also be able to use photographs posted online for nefarious reasons. They can decode a photo taken at home of your child’s birthday
party, and use GPS technology, to determine where and when the photo was taken. Sometimes, people’s ignorance or greed can get the better of their common sense. “Africans don’t use furnaces, it’s pretty hot there,” he said, referring to another online scam. He also highlighted another scam in which cars a car in, say, British Columbia, is shipped – using a shipping company in Ivory Coast. “Anyone can fall victim to identity theft,” said Beechey. “It’s happened to relatives of mine.” As many as 50 per cent of victims don’t come forward and report a fraud to police because they are so embarrassed that they got taken for a ride, Beechey noted that they need to come forward so that the damage does not spread, and your information could be crucial to bring them to justice. “Tell them (police) everything. It could help the investigation,” said Beechey. “They have to be reported to be investigated.” Time is also of the essence. For a credit card fraud case, for example, he was able to get all of the information he needed, and tracked down a missing card when it was used at a gas station in Hamilton, Ont. He then contacted the gas station and got their close circuit security camera footage and was able to identify the suspect. “If it hadn’t been reported when it was, we wouldn’t have the video from the gas station,” said Beechey.

a lesson from Smiths Falls’ pad. “The concrete (at the Smiths Falls pad) is getting children to get abrasions,” said Evans, which is why she is pushing for a more rubberized surface. The pad will operate from June to September for 90 days. The pad will also help alleviate another problem, that of sand wasps. The Conlon Farm play area had to be shut down temporarily this past summer to deal with the wasp problem, to allow the sand to be dredged and watered down. “There really isn’t a way to get rid of them,” admitted Evans, but now the pad will be built over top of it. This past summer, the region saw one of the hottest summers in recent memory, and “we quite often get calls asking if we have a cooling station” like they do in places

Perth Mayor John Fenik appeals to neighbouring township for help with funding a new splash pad.

like Ottawa and Toronto. Evans often refers them to parks or supermarkets, but a splash pad would be a great place to send hot citizens instead. Coun. Bill Avery asked if, with a rubberized surface, if the facility could be used for off-season sports like basketball, if the splash pad equipment is removed. “It’s decommissioned for the season,” in September, said Evans in reply. “The features do stay on site. They are reactivated in the spring. It cannot be used for anything else.” The Perth contingent was also asked about vandalism. “They (splash pads) are vandal-resistant,” said Evans. “We haven’t heard a lot of concerns about vandalism.” Tay Valley council voted to send the issue to next month’s recreation advisory committee for a recommendation.

EMC News – With the click of a mouse, you could help take the dream of a splash pad at Conlon Farm one step closer to reality. Finnegan Insurance has teamed up with the Town of Perth and entered the Perth and district splash pad into the Aviva Community Fund. The funds are distributed not through the traditional methods of grant applications but rather through gauging community support for an idea, like the annual Kraft Hockeyville project. While the town will be footing half of the funding costs to get the facility built, the dream is also contingent on $150,000 in donations, fundraising and outside grants to get it off the ground – or, on the ground, rather. Every vote counts, which is why, if you support the splash pad, you can registered online to vote daily in order to increase Perth’s chances of success at: www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf14158. Already, there is local competition just down the road. Smiths Falls is also in the running for the Aviva funding to help “fill the pool” to give the town its own pool, by bringing back to life the now empty pool at the old Rideau Regional Centre. You have until the end of the day on Monday, Oct. 15 to participate in the first round of voting. As of the morning of Sunday, Oct. 7, the Conlon Farm campaign has collected 399 votes, while the Smiths Falls pool idea had 2,713 votes at that time.
Mayor John Fenik continued his own campaign last week to stump around neighbouring communities to seek funding for the splash pad. “We had a groundswell of interest in having a splash pad a Conlon Farm,” said Fenik, in addressing the Tay Valley Township committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2. “Splash pads are a regional draw. We’re here to ask for consideration of a capital contribution for the splash pad.” Shellee Evans, Perth’s director of community services, backed up the mayor with a presentation on how town staff arrived at their conclusions about a splash pad. Evans pointed out that a control button that kids would tap would keep the water running for only 30 seconds at a time, “so that the water is not running constantly…(and) to make sure that it is fully interactive for kids.” The drain-to-storm system was chosen because it uses less chemicals and has the lowest maintenance costs. Waterplay Solutions Corporation has put forward a proposed splash pad costing about $135,000, not including excavation of the property and moving the playground to accommodate the new structure. It will also use about 90 gallons per minute, and will be free and fully accessible. Evans also pointed out that the City of Ottawa has 85 splash pads, which cost about $5,000 a month to run, each. Smiths Falls’ splash pad cost about $150,000, while Owen Sound’s pad was $200,000. Already, Perth has learned

Cancer society launches pink ribbon campaign EMC Events - In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, volunteers of the Canadian Cancer Society will be stationed at Metro, Giant Tiger, LCBO, and the Red Apple on Saturday, Oct. 20 to distribute pink ribbons to the public for a donation. Show your support by wearing a pink ribbon this October. Volunteers will also promote breast cancer awareness by providing information about early detection and prevention. "Through the Pink Ribbon campaign, we are working together to outsmart breast cancer by raising money to support leading edge research and provide local services for women living with breast cancer and their families," said Amanda Gifford, fundraising coordinator of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office of the Canadian Cancer Society. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Ontario women, yet only 66 per cent of women 50 to 69 are getting life-saving mammograms. To increase breast screening rates the Canadian Cancer Society is asking women who are 50 to 69 to fight back against breast cancer and join
the Thingamaboob 'Pass it on' movement by committing to get a mammogram every two years and to pass on this lifesaving message to the women in their life. Breast cancer statistics for 2012: • An estimated 23,700 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,300 will die of it in Canada. • A woman has a one in nine chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. • The breast cancer death rate has declined almost 40 per cent since 1986. For more information about Pink Ribbon Weekend or how you can support Breast Cancer Awareness Month contact your local Canadian Cancer Society community office at (613) 267-1058. The Canadian Cancer Society is a national communitybased organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Curling season kicks off By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
EMC Sports - The Perth Curling Club is gearing up for another busy season with lots of room for newcomers and opportunities to learn techniques and tricks of the trade along the way. Rick Litle is the president of the club, which has been in existence since 1875. Many of the 270-plus active members are going strong in their senior years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say about 70 per cent of our members are seniors,â&#x20AC;? Litle says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a very active group.â&#x20AC;? With action going on every day, there are some clinics in store this week as the season gets under way Oct. 9. The clinics will be taught by Bruce Merklinger. On Monday and Tuesday mornings, senior men are on the ice and in the afternoon, they make way for the bantam curlers. There is a fixed adult league action on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Wednesday morning, the women are on the ice for one draw and in the afternoon, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an open mixed draw of mostly senior participants from 1 to 3 p.m. Mixed league play takes place Wednesday evenings. This league is readjusted every five weeks. Thursdays are dedicated to mixed play with the after-
noon session from 1 to 3 p.m.. and then again from 6 to 8:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These teams are mixed right from the junior curlers to seniors,â&#x20AC;? Litle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives everyone a chance to play together.â&#x20AC;? Fridays are saved for social events where anyone can take part in the action and Saturdays are reserved for tournaments. Sundays, the Little Rocks are in action. A clinic geared for members to learn intermediate strategy is scheduled for Oct. 20, starting at 8:30 a.m. and it will run until 11 a.m. In the afternoon, a high performance strategy clinic will take place from 1:30 to 4 p.m. This clinic is just in time for the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening â&#x20AC;&#x2122;spiel, sponsored by Crain and Schooley, which is a weeklong tournament beginning Oct. 22. It will finish Oct. 27 with a dinner and dance taking place that Saturday evening. In junior curling action, some of the younger members were in Ottawa at a recent bonspiel, the Rideau Icebreaker. Taking C division honours was the bantam team of Peter Stranberg, skip; Greg Bridges, Derek Seguin and Trevor Ferrier. In bantam girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; action, they earned the C division event in the junior showdown skipped by Hailey Armstrong. Briana Dubue, Lindsay Dubue and Kelsey Jackson helped out on this team.
In B division action, bantam boys winners from Perth included skip Travis Barber with mates Haydon Richmond, Ryley Gemmill and Jacob McPhee. TRILLIUM GRANT Litle says the volunteers who are instrumental in keeping the curling club going were busy with a Trillium grant proposal earlier this year. They are in need of some funding for upgrades to the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We applied, and were denied, a $90,000 request,â&#x20AC;? Litle said. They are in need of about $150,000 for upgrades and renovations. This is their third unsuccessful bid. The club raises money through hall rentals, bonspiels, and membership and by being out in the community at events like the Kilt Run, the Perth Fair. They also provide a venue for the cyclists who tour through in the spring and feed the group as well. Recent renovations at the club have included new piping installed in the floor four years ago and last year, a suspended ceiling, dehumidifier and a high efficiency furnace and hot water heater were installed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the money we need (to add to the grant, if successful) to continue with renovations,â&#x20AC;? Litle added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to apply again.â&#x20AC;?

Blue Wings on the road for Fall Classic in Arnprior EMC Sports - The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings dropped a pair of games in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League play on the road last week, dropping below the .500 mark. They now sit in fourth place in the Valley League standings with a 3-4 (and one OT loss) record after losing to Gatineau and Stittsville. Monday night in Stittsville, the Wings held a 2-1 lead heading into the third period when the home team tied the match.
After a scoreless third period and again in the extra period, it was into a shootout before a winner was declared. Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Groulx had the first of two scored for the win. Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peter McGahey, from Blair Barr and Alex MacLean and Michael Kalyn (unassisted) had the goals, with Jason Shaw getting tagged with the loss. It was a 6-2 loss for the Wings against the Mustangs in Gatineau on Fright night.
Perth was leading after the first, 2-0, but the Mustangs rallied in the second to tie the game. Four unanswered goals in
the fourth sealed the win for the home team. Scoring for Perth were Riley Kane and Brett Madigan (unassisted) and Jeremy
Wright took the loss in nets. Next up for the league is the Fall Classic this weekend in Arnprior. The boys play Westport
Saturday in their first game at 10 a.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. Sunday at 10:30 a.m. they play South Grenville.

HANSON - In Loving Memory of our Mother, Grandmother, Carolynne, October 10, 2002 A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would of never died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill. A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Your precious memories are for keepsakes, with which we never part, God has you safely in His keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts. Miss you, Love you each and everyday, Jim, Donna and Lindsay
“WE REMEMBER” Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way
WATTS, Linda Jeanne 1946-2012 On October 3rd, 2012, Norma and Jack Watts lost their daughter. Linda’s life reflected her insatiable curiosity for everything around her. As head nurse at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and then at the Royal Victoria Hospital, she discovered the hard realities that life brings. Her sensitivity led her to explore how to capture beauty in everything she saw and, very generously, shared her photographs and her carefully written descriptions in LIFE and Maclean’s. She loved nature: raising dairy goats, rabbits and other animals with Francine at Peerage Farm in Oxford Mills, Ontario, and then, raising Boxers and lovingly managing a dog kennel. Her passion for literature led her to the world of writing. Many computer hours were spent on unique translations and editorials. Her relentless search for choosing the right term to express a feeling, an idea, a concept, revealed Linda as a person with deep respect for words and for the messages they convey. She loved travelling the world and was always inspired by its musics. The coastlines and the sea fascinated her. Her passion for Greece made her choose that country as her final resting place, where Peter, her brother, and Lois, her sister, will take her ashes to the seas she cherished so deeply. She lived her dreams to the fullest and until the very end. She left this poem to inspire us to embrace every minute of our lives.

HUBERT - In memory of a dear mother and wife; Linda Hubert, October 12, 2007 Every day in some small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent you are always near, Still missed, loved and always dear. We miss you so much, Dan, Melanie (Chelsie) and Lisa (Dylan) FRASER, Taylor James July 3, 1990 -Oct 14, 2006 Cool Sensations again, November sets in, Time gone, now spent. Forever, amongst vent. Wondering why December flies by. Sparkling gifts under the tree Set aside magically, for you and for me January visits, passes on through. Reminise the Millennium Cherishing it with you. February’s chills, against heated veins Scrap paper as knives Delivers no pain Indents scars on our lives Breaths of March Slithers on through. Gifting me only More time with you April slides in Sending delight Soon we will win Less flesh of night May’s shine Shows me the way Forever, yours and mine Promises of May. Lavish of June Disappearing too soon Engaging the sun Capturing memories of fun July, oh what a time to cherish Monuments to stay After all now, July 3rd, was your day August last warmth Delivers last Promise Everything pure Obviously honest Breezes of September Swept us away Right into school That you loved, by the way October vanished too soon Like the sun in the fall Dismissing you home With no say at all. Love You, Miss You Amanda Fraser and Family HUBERT, Linda In loving memory of a Great Friend who passed away October 12, 2007. I thought of you today, But that is nothing new. I thought of you yesterday And will tomorrow too. I think of you in silence and make no outward show. For what it meant to lose you, Only those who love you know. Forever Friends Miss ya... Cornelia
Today Clutches of cattails in seas of reeds, sun-corona’d Susans, black eyed and swaying amongst tardy daffodil stars and moons of Queen Anne’s lace, wait deep within a blood-red poppy carpet, already leaking life yet vibrant. Tomorrow’s seed sucks life from today and riots in beauty as if there will never be another. At her request, there will be no ceremony of any kind to honour Linda’s life. Donations to cancer charities and/or palliative care units would continue to honour her life and choices, and help others.

Self-mutilation trend on the rise; Self-injury as a form of appeasement knife, scissors or other sharp tool. Less frequently, teenagers also pinch, burn, hit, prick and bite themselves. Typical targets are the arms, legs and abdomen and they often hide their scars behind clothing. Gauthier also points out that self-mutilation is rarely a symptom of severe mental illness or a method used to commit suicide. It typically stems from inner turmoil caused by painful or unresolved issues such as intense adolescent angst and the emotional aftershocks of bullying or sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. “Most teenagers harm themselves because they are trying to feel better and cannot access other ways to deal with how terrible they feel. Self-mutilation helps to get rid of the tension and to resume normal activities. When repeated, it appears to become more mechanical and quasi addictive,” he says. An increasing number of teenagers are experimenting with self-mutilation to mimic celebrities and their peers. “Self-mutilation is very contagious. It is obvious on a psychiatric ward as it spreads from one patient to others. The same phenomenon exists obviously in schools and
in our society through the examples given by stars, actors, musicians, and other teens. It has also been observed in jails and reception centers.” Some specialists hypothesize the compulsive urge to self-mutilate may be reinforced by the release of opioid-like endorphins, which results in a natural high. Gauthier also questions the connection between selfmutilation, and adolescent emotional and sexual development. Teenagers rarely seek help for self-mutilation and it can be a difficult pattern to break. Gauthier says a comprehensive assessment is crucial, not necessarily by a child psychiatrist but by a competent mental health professional. That professional will be able to assess when a psychiatrist is needed. “We rarely address the self-mutilation alone. It is one aspect of the adolescent’s difficulties and the treatment will want to keep a global view. Specific suggestions to replace self-mutilation by more integrative solutions are more possible once a therapeutic alliance is established and the adolescent wants to stop cutting.”

EMC News - More and more teenagers are turning to self-mutilation to cope with their inner turmoil. Dr. Martin Gauthier, psychiatrist-in-chief at the Montreal Children’s Hospital says the number of teenagers deliberately and repeatedly injuring their bodies by cutting, piercing or biting their flesh is growing at an alarming rate. When the psychiatrist started his practice 25 years ago, he seldom encountered adolescents who purposely mutilated themselves. When he did, they were often psychotic, intellectually challenged or autistic. About half the teenage patients he treats today are self-injurers. “In the adolescent clinical population, it is about one in two,” Gauthier said. “In the general population, one in six is a conservative figure. It goes up to one in three in some surveys.” Female self-injurers are more likely to seek professional help but studies indicate self-mutilation is practised equally by adolescent boys and girls across all racial and socioeconomic groups. The most common form of self-injury is cutting the skin with a razor blade,

Centre for Sustainable Development welcomes new staff EMC News - The Centre for Sustainable Development (CSW) welcomes new staff to their team. Lynn Preston has been hired to be the Coordinator for the Provincial Shoreline Stewardship Program. Lynn brings to CSW extensive experience in watershed management, having worked for over 25 years in conservation authorities of Eastern Ontario developing watershed and lake management strategic plans designed to improve the health of the local environment. Working with partners from the Canadian Wildlife Federation, Lakeland Alliance (from the Kawartha area), the Muskoka Watershed Council
and the City of Greater Sudbury, CSW will be engaging shoreline property owners on steps they can take to become better shoreline stewards and improve the health of their lake. “I’m very excited about working with CSW,” Preston stated. “The shoreline stewardship program works directly with landowners who can influence what happens on their lakes. CSW has a long tradition in this field and I’m glad to bring this shoreline stewardship opportunity to the rest of the province.” The Centre for Sustainable Watersheds is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2002 to help build water-conscious communities to protect their
lakes and rivers. They offer services in training, evaluation and stewardship in lake environments. Check out the website at www.watersheds.ca. If you would like to learn more about the Provincial Shoreline Stewardship Program or would like to include your lake in it, contact Lynn at preston@watersheds.ca or at the CSW office in Portland at 613- 272-5136. CSW also welcomes Kelsey Jensen, Communications Specialist Jensen@watersheds. ca who will be working part time on updating the website, social media and developing communications products.
THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF BECKWITH NOTICE OF PASSING CONCERNING ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT ACCESSORY USES - BACKYARD HEN COOPS TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Beckwith passed zoning By-law No. 2012-26 on the 2nd day of October, 2012 to amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 91-14 to permit a limited number of egglaying hens to be kept within residential zones for personal egg production. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law No. 2012-26 by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Township of Beckwith a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law, the reasons in support of the objection and the prescribed appeal fee of $125.00 not later than the 31st day of October, 2012. THE PURPOSE of the Zoning By-law amendment passed as By-law No. 201226 is to amend Section 3.1 – “Accessory Uses” of comprehensive Zoning Bylaw No. 91-14 to regulate backyard hen coops. THE EFFECT of By-Law No. 2012-26 is to permit a limited number of egg-laying hens to be kept for personal egg production within residential zones, subject to the minimum lot size and minimum setback distances for the backyard hen coop. Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a Zoning By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group.

Donating publicly-traded securities – a giving strategy that can work for you When it comes to charitable giving, Canadians are among the best in the world. According to Statistics Canada, 5.7 million Canadians reported making a charitable donation in 2010 for a total of just under $8.3 billion.1 The simplest giving strategy is a cash donation but that may not be the best strategy for you. One that can not only help the charitable organization, but also help the donor to save on taxes, is the gifting strategy of donating publiclytraded securities. Donating publicly-traded securities (such as shares or mutual fund units) directly to a charity is more tax-efficient than selling the securities and donating the cash proceeds. If you sell shares or mutual fund units to make a cash donation you’ll have to include 50% of the realized capital gains as taxable income when you dispose of the shares or units. However, if you donate the shares or units directly to the charity there is no capital gains and accordingly no income tax payable. Here’s an example: You have $100,000 of securities that originally cost you $30,000 (the “cost base” of that asset). You sell the securities and
Manage Your Money donate the $100,000 to your charity. If your marginal tax rate is 46%, the sale of securities will create a tax liability of $16,100 (based on the $70,000 increase in the securities’ value times the 50% capital gains inclusion rate times your 46% marginal tax rate). However, if you make what is known as an ‘in-kind’ gift by donating the securities directly to the charity, your tax liability for the capital gain would be zero. Your charitable donation receipt would be for the fair market value of the securities on the date that the ownership of the securities was transferred to the charity. The special capital gains inclusion rate applies to ‘in-kind’ gifts to registered charitable organizations as well as public and private foundations. The charity/ foundation must have a broker account into which the shares or units can be transferred. Charities typically have special forms to smooth the transfer process or your advisor may be able to provide the required form. Check out your charity’s website for information about ‘in-kind’ transfers,
or call them directly. You are required to report all gifts of publicly-traded securities by including CRA form T1170, Capital Gains and Gifts of Certain Property with your tax return. Your best approach to increasing your lifetime donations and potential tax benefits begins with talking to your professional advisor and developing a plan the fits your overall financial strategy.

Carleton Place connection to baseball’s Triple Crown “Yaz” as he is still known to a legion of Red Sox fans retired at the end of the 1983 season after playing his entire Major League career (23 seasons) for Boston. Cabrera, 29, was born the year Yastrzemski retired! A native of Maracay, Venezuela he is the first Latin player to win the Triple Crown. Cabrera began his career with Florida Marlins in 2003 at age 19, underlining the expectations for the young man. He joined the Tigers in 2008 and this season led them to their first back-to-back division championships since 19341935. Cabrera now belongs among the greats of the game!
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
There is a Most Valuable Player (MVP) named after every baseball season and barring the totally unexpected he has a virtual lock on that honour for 2012. But a Triple Crown winner is the MVP of MVPs. Twelve of the 15 men to achieve the feat were later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. There have been two double winners, St. Louis Cardinals’

second baseman Rogers Hornsby in 1922 and 1925 and the late great Red Sox star Ted Williams in 1942 and 1947. Also on the exclusive list are immortals of the game including another Detroit star Ty Cobb (1909), New York Yankees’ legends Lou Gehrig (1934) and Mickey Mantle (1956) as well as Baltimore Orioles’ superstar Frank Robinson (1966). Robinson later became the first AfricanAmerican manager in MLB history. To even be mentioned in the same breath as players such as Gehrig, baseball’s original Ironman or Ted Williams, the last player to bat over .400 in a season (.406 in 1941) is a huge accomplishment. For me personally, Miguel Cabrera’s achievement is significant for two reasons. First, I am a lifelong Detroit Tigers’ fan. My mother Molly and my wife Kathleen are both natives of Chatham, Ontario which just happens to be the hometown of Canada’s first MLB Hall of Famer, pitcher Ferguson Jenkins. Chatham is just an hour from Detroit by road. We also have family in Detroit and area which solidifies the allegiance.
THE EMC - 56 - Thursday, October 11, 2012
But what makes Cabrera’s ultimately successful bid for the Triple Crown especially interesting for me is the knowledge he was using wood bats manufactured in Carleton Place, our adopted hometown of nearly 40 years. Sam Bat The Detroit sensation is one of 100 Major Leaguers who use handmade, maple wood bats produced by the Carleton Place firm ‘Sam Bat’. If you look closely at Cabrera’s bat you will see the distinctive bat logo (the flying kind) of the company. This past spring I was among those who accompanied David Jacobson, the United States Ambassador to Canada, when he was treated to a tour of the Sam Bat plant on Industrial Avenue in Carleton Place. Jacobson, a Chicago native, is a huge Chicago Cubs fan. And one of the players who use Sam bats is Cubs’ power hitter Alfonso Soriano. He belted 32 home runs and drove in 108 for the Cubbies this season. Jacobson was like a kid in a candy shop during his tour! He was obviously delighted when he was handed one of the models destined for Soriano. Later the ambassador beamed from ear-to-ear when he was presented with his own handmade bat by company president Arlene Anderson, who along with her husband Jim own 50 per cent of the firm. The other co-owners are founder Sam Holman, for whom the firm is
named, and Paul Balharrie. I told Jacobson that I’m a big Tigers’ fan and that Cabrera too wields Sam bats. Being a Cubs’ “fan-atic” I don’t think the ambassador was too impressed. I’ll bet he is now! Two weeks ago I was emcee at a special event in Carleton Place that was also attended by the Andersons. I spoke to them on the way in and mentioned the Cabrera Triple Crown pursuit. “I can’t even watch (his games),” Arlene laughed. “It is just so exciting.” Friday I called her and we spoke at length. Naturally she and Jim along with Holman, Balharrie and the company’s 12 employees are on Cloud Nine. “There is a lot of good Karma in the factory today,” she said enthusiastically. Naturally having the Triple Crown winner as one of your customers can only be a huge boost for a firm which is among more than 30 baseball bat manufacturers. Arlene, however, is thrilled for Cabrera! “He is such a low-key customer. “It is wonderful that this happened to such a nice fellow. I’m very relieved it (Triple Crown chase) worked out so well.” For the remainder of this column please see next week’s issue of the EMC.

EMC Lifestyle - Detroit Tigers’ slugging third baseman Miguel Cabrera accomplished a rare feat last week becoming the first player in 45 years to win Major League Baseball’s coveted Triple Crown. There have only been 17 Triple Crowns in the long history of baseball. In order to win a player has to combine the best batting average with the most home runs and the most runs batted in during the long and grueling (162 game) Major League Baseball (MLB) campaign. Underlining how rare this is, the last person to achieve the mark was Boston Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, Canada’s Centennial year.
