Research shows people have little choice in major life events EMC News - “Take two steps forward if your family has a car. Take one step back if you have experienced physical violence,” said Sam Davidson, The Table’s advocacy coordinator, as she led the Community Action Training group in Perth in an exercise called the American Dream.

The group members started the exercise lined up shoulder to shoulder in a straight line.

At the end of the exercise the group members were scattered, with just a couple of members at the front, more in the middle and many in the back. Sam announced that she had a prize for the ¿rst person who reached her on the count of three. She counted: no one moved a muscle. The people closest to her may not have moved because they had been singled out as being more privileged. The people at the

back may not have moved because they could see that there were too many other people to clamber past. Why bother? Finally, one lone person in the middle of the pack walked forward to collect the prize, $5.

The purpose of this exercise was to show that individuals generally have little choice over the major life circumstances that research tells us underpin success. The idea of the ‘American Dream’, where hard work results in achievement and wealth, is not always true. A ¿nancially secure neighbour may not have been born with a silver spoon in his or her mouth, but chances are he/she worked hard, enjoyed good health, was encouraged to stay in school, had a supportive family and/ or a mentor, and more. This exercise helps the group to think criti-

cally about the systems within society that make the playing ¿eld uneven.

The Table’s Community Action Training is building a community within a community. It has attracted a diverse group in many ways - age, social, political, and economic backgrounds, lived experience, education, etc.

The 22 participants meet on common ground every Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Table Community Food Centre. Over 15 weeks they will examine how power operates in society, look at human rights, apply critical thinking to the deluge of information we face day to day, study how government works, look at the big issues affecting our community members and to learn the steps required to run a campaign or action and hopefully apply that learning

to make change in the community. No mean feat. We hope that group members will stay on after group has ended to form our of¿cial Social Justice group and continue to work towards making changes on some of the issues that are important to our fellow community members; access to services, transportation, shelter, and food.

Five weeks into our group, it is obvious that the biggest lessons participants will learn are from one another. Every week two challenge cards are issued randomly to group members. Recently a participant was asked to research the issue of transportation in a rural setting. She reported back to the group that before she began to dig she wondered “What issue?”

Finding out that transportation is a major issue for many

He gets out to the highway extra early so that he can be sure to be on time. When asked why he makes the effort he replies that it is important to him to get out and stay involved in his community.

CAS/OPP Angel Tree program launched for 2012 EMC News - It’s year 27, and as three decades are approached for this program, it is a true statement to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area. This year the Lanark County Child and Family Services/ OPP Angel Tree program is starting off with 571 angels.

With the program originally having started with 50 angels and one small tree, it has certainly grown with leaps and bounds. The “angels” assigned to trees are children af¿liated with the Lanark County Child and Family Services. The goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child.

In the early years, the area municipal of¿ces joined in on the program creating a lasting partnership. In recent years several area businesses including Albany, Eaton, Curves for Women in Perth, Curves for Women in Almonte, and Lanark County Administration have participated with the distribution of angel tags.

They continue to be

The 27th CAS/OPP Angel Tree Initiative was launched Nov. 8. Trees are now set up in various locations throughout Lanark County. There you can pick up a tag, each tag represents a child – the goal – one gift for each child. There are 571 so far this season. Gifts will be picked up Dec. 13. Above, at the Beckwith Township Office, from left, Laurie Hall, Cynthia Moyle, OPP Constable Paige Whiting and Kim Hallahan. community partners and are assisting once again in 2012.

Effective Nov. 8, Angel Trees bearing “Angel Cards” have been distributed for pick up at the fol-

¿ce, Tay Valley Municipal Of¿ce, Beckwith Township Of¿ce, Lanark Highlands Municipal Of¿ce, Montague Township Of¿ce, Pakenham Public Library and South Elmsley Hall.

Please attend one of those locations and retrieve an Angel Card. Return a gift (preferably unwrapped or in a gift bag) to the tree before Wednesday, Dec. 12. Please ensure the Angel Card is af¿xed to the gift and the gift contents are printed on the back of the card.

Donations of money and items of clothing/toys are gratefully accepted. Lanark County OPP with the assistance of Mississippi Tay Crime Stoppers will attend the tree locations on Dec. 13 and return the gifts to the Lanark County Child and Family Services who in turn will ensure children/ youth which have been brought to their attention have an appropriate gift at Christmas.

Kate Reid performs in Perth Nov. 24 at Full Circle Theatre

Submitted Photo

Kate Reid performs at The Full Circle Theatre in Perth Nov. 24 at 8 p.m. received a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for Best New/Emerging Artist of the Year (2009), a Toronto Independent Music Award nomination for Best Acoustic Album (2010). In the interim she has toured like a Àame-haired banshee while nurturing a grassroots audience that now stretches east across Canada and south into the U.S. Reid now lives on idyllic Bowen Island just north of Vancouver following years in the heart of Vancity’s culturally diverse east side. Known for

a style she once termed “slam poetry meets folk music,” the farm girl raised in Ayr, Ontario has dialled in more directly on the folk, country and roots directions hinted at on the last album and her 2006 debut,

“Comin’ Alive”. She cites some of her inÀuences from folk, country and rock genres alike: Ferron, Ani Difranco, Tracy Chapman, Indigo Girls, Ridley Bent, k.d. lang, Johnny Cash, Peter, Paul and

Mary, The Dixie Chicks, The Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, Neil Young along with comediennes like Ellen DeGeneres and Margaret Cho. She credits Toronto-based producer, Adam King (Jill Barber, Jully Black, the Good Lovelies) for the sparkling sound of “Doing it for the Chicks”, high ¿veing the cast of musicians who augmented her own guitar and harmonica with lap steel, banjo, ¿ddle and mandolin and percussion.

Passionately delivering alt-culture songs that move audiences to laugh, think and cry is Reid’s strength, and the new disc’s 11 originals (plus that one Zeppelin cover) showcase her fast-talking humour, activist spirit and compassionate take on life’s bittersweet truths. The title track, Doing it for the Chicks was written in response to a man who agreed to host a house concert for Reid before realizing that not only is she homosexual, she sings about it too. Revolution is a hardhitting protest song about violence against women. Isn’t No Drama Queen chronicles the struggles of being out and speaks to the youth suicides that dominated the media in the fall of 2010. My Baby’s in the Beer Tent Again is already a crowd favourite on

the festival circuit. And while a real-life, cross-dressing tugboat driver from Nanaimo, BC inspired Captain Cupcake and the Cambie Hotel, Closet Femme is a hilarious confessional about Reid’s own penchant for cross-dressing.

Kate Reid continues to build her audience by touring across the country and down in the US. And, she’ll be unapologetically Àying the Àag whether performing for large festival audiences, in clubs, house concerts or Pride events across the country. Says Reid, “I de¿nitely like shaking up opinions and perceptions.

And yet, it seems that my lyrics resonate with people from all walks of life, because the songs aren’t really about being queer, they are about being human. I also love seeing people howl, tap their feet and respond to what I am singing about, whether they get teary or they bust a gut laughing.

That’s when I know I am doing my job right.”

Tickets are available at Shadowfax in Perth or call to charge 1-800-518-2729. Donations will be accepted for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society.

EMC Events - Direct from Bowen Island B.C. “Kate Reid” performs at The Full Circle Theatre in Perth Nov. 24 at 8 p.m.

Kate Reid is, quite simply, one of the best songwriters to emerge from the Canadian folk roots scene since David Francey. Like so many musicians before her, Reid really is “Doing it for the Chicks.” The quadruple-entendre humour, cherry Àavoured cigars and a hilarious album cover paints her as a misogynistic femme rapper.

“I’m merely on a divine plan to convert you to the dark side of the bedroom,” she sings on the title track of her eagerly anticipated third album. “The music’s all just extra-curricular, I’m just doing it for the chicks.”

It’s not for nothing, then, that Reid has recorded Led Zeppelin’s rock classic “Hotdog” with a bluegrass-styled hoot, holler and a broad wink.

Given the all-persuasions crowds drawn to her shows, Reid is doing it for the ladies and everyone else with a yen for her ¿ery performances and rare ability to glide from laughaloud sing-alongs to intense tales about the price some pay in staying true to their own trailblazing sexual identities.

Critics have been cheering her on as much as her diehard fans and the new album follows the wave of acclaim that greeted 2009’s “I’m Just Warming Up”. Indeed, Reid was voted Favourite New Discovery of 2009 by Penguin Eggs Magazine (Canada’s Folk, Roots and World magazine) critics,

EMC News - Cyclists and motorists are not members of opposing camps. More often than not, they are the same people.

This was one of the messages delivered to Lanark County council’s public works committee Nov. 6 by Jeff Mills, chairman of Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month.

Noting that, “The last time I attended here there was some bad news about cycling,” Mills said his intention was to share some good news stories about cycling in the county. Council asked county staff to prepare a report on the issue of cyclists and cars sharing county roads following a presentation by Perth area resident Roger Loyer in August. At that time, following a personal altercation with members of a large cycling tour, Loyer told councillors that such tours using rural roads were creating an unsafe situation for both themselves and drivers.

Mills was joined in his presentation to the public works committee by Eleanor McMahon, executive director of the Share the Road Cycling Coalition. He told committee members that labeling individuals as either drivers or cyclists was “almost like racism.” Applying labels, he said, just divides people and gets in the way of solving problems.

Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month and its advocacy partner Riding in Mississippi Mills (RIMM) are now in their ¿fth year, said Mills. These projects, he added, are a means to “a bicycle-friendly, healthy, active, and prosperous community.”

Mills said the Mississippi Mills Community and Economic Development Committee sponsored a “Welcome Cyclists” tourism workshop in Almonte in May. The Welcome Cyclists Network sees Lanark County as a great place to expand its network, he said, and is keen to Link Ottawa cyclists to Lanark and Renfrew Counties, and bring cycle tourists to the area.

From June 1-3, Almonte also hosted the Mississippi Mills Grand Prix, which brought 217 riders along with their family, friends and coaches to participate in four separate races.

Three Cyclocross races were held in Lanark this fall. One such event resulted in $11,000 being spent “on a rainy, miserable Sunday morning in Perth,” said Mills.

Mainstreet Almonte Attraction and Promotion and Mis-

sissippi Mills Community and Economic Development Committee are sponsoring development of a bilingual cycling map of the area to be distributed in the spring of 2013.

Local cycling advocates are also hoping the abandoned Ottawa Valley Rail line from Mattawa to Smiths Falls can be transformed into a cycling trail, said Mills.

Mills said he is in agreement with Roger Loyer that county roads need to be made safer for all users. At the Nov. 7 public works committee meeting he renewed a previous (January 2012) request to the county to create a “Complete Streets” policy which would take bicycle safety into account when developing new roads and redeveloping existing roads. He also urged the adoption of a separate “County Paved Shoulders Policy.” He noted that these were two of the key recommendations of a review of cycling deaths in the province released in June by Dr. Andrew McCallum, chief coroner for Ontario.

Mills’ comments to the public works committee were followed by a presentation from McMahon, who is also the founder of the Share the Road Cycling Coalition and a former press secretary to Prime Minister Jean Chretien, has been an advocate for cycling safety since the tragic death in 2006 of her husband, OPP Sergeant Greg Stobbart, who died in a

cycling collision.

McMahon stated that 89 per cent of those polled by her coalition across the province are both drivers and cyclists.

The Share the Road coalition has been lobbying the Ontario government concerning the need for more cycling infrastructure, and promoting the bene¿ts of cycling in attracting tourists and combating childhood obesity.

In 1971, said McMahon, 86 per cent of Canadian children rode their bicycles to school.

Today, the number is less than 13 per cent.

The Share the Road coalition is asking the provincial government to divert one per cent of Ontario’s transportation budget - $25 million – to community bicycling infrastructure in 201213. The coalition is also urging the development of an Ontario bike policy, which McMahon said the province has not had since Bob Rae was premier, 20 years ago.

McMahon said a majority of Ontarians – 58 per cent – have indicated that they would prefer to cycle more often, up somewhat from 53 per cent in 2011.

Public works committee chair Susan Freeman, deputy-reeve of Tay Valley Township, thanked McMahon for her “inspiring and very informative” presentation, and commented, “we can add your asks to our asks” when meeting with provincial cabinet ministers in February.

There is a lot of work to be done in a short time including fundraising (craft fairs, sale of merchandise, creation and printing of brochures and advertising), producing a calendar, preparing the stage for the Mill Street concert, lining up carpenters, booking the musicians, arranging for sound, arranging the ¿reworks, contacting Santa Claus, updating the web site, keeping the media informed, booking the OPP, contacting the Almonte Academy of Dance for the Twinkle Fairies, securing Christmas trees from Paul and Ria Ralph and hay from Jim Timms.

For the ¿rst time the LUTN Committee is selling attractive mittens as a fundraiser. Purchase your mittens at Levi Home Hardware, the old Almonte Town Hall and at the Al-

monte and Pakenham arenas.

The ever popular hockey pool is postponed due to the NHL lockout.

“Light Up The Night has been an Almonte Christmas tradition for 22 years,” said Nancy Fulton.

“We can’t thank Wayne Rostad enough for the brilliant idea of LUTN. The evening would not happen without the strong support of Mayor John Levi and Mississippi Mills Council, the musicians, the advertisers, the volunteers and the community which supports us in every way.”

Once again the hosts will welcome Almonte General Hospital of¿cials to light a Christmas tree to signify the fundraising season at the Hospital and Fairview Manor for essential medical equipment. More than $300,000 is needed to purchase new and replacement equipment for all departments.

Upper Canada District School Board launches new Sports Council tions, but to supplement what they offer so our students bene¿t, said Superintendent David Coombs.

“What is the purpose of sports and extracurriculars?”

Coombs asked a recent organizational meeting in Kemptville at the North Grenville Municipal Centre.

“We think it’s greater than coaching or playing on successful teams. We think it’s about belonging, equity and inclusion, so we’re not afraid to innovate and try something different.”

The goal is to provide a higher level of competition for intermediate students in athletics and to provide grassroots development for coaching, student skill level, and of¿ciating of sports.

The game plan is to hold an Upper Canada volleyball

championship in December, an Upper Canada basketball championship in March and an Upper Canada track and ¿eld championship in June. There will be competitions for both girls and boys, and the Board is even considering including both A and B-level teams in regional competitions leading up to the championships so that more students can participate.

Schools can still participate in events with LGESAA and other groups should they choose, said Trish Brown, principal at Tagwi Secondary School who is leading the initiative with Ron Ferguson, vice-principal at Almonte District High School.

“This is not in any way an attempt to undermine, or change or alter anything that is going on at our schools now

that’s really awesome and good,” explained Brown. “We want to push it and extend it here so we can energize our kids and take sport to a new level.”

All tournaments will be overseen by paid of¿cials and the initiative will offer coach-

EMC Sports - Seeking to provide intermediate students with greater athletic opportunities, the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) will launch a separate sports league this fall.

While Board schools will still participate with organizations such as the Leeds-Grenville Elementary School Athletic Association (LGESAA), the Board has decided to create its own league this year to supplement competitions hosted by regional bodies.

The new Upper Canada Sports Council, designed for Grades 7 and 8 students, will be limited to UCDSB schools and will run a variety of sports activities beginning with volleyball, basketball and track and ¿eld competitions.

The goal is not to supplant current sporting organiza-

Help a child enjoy Christmas this year

Photo by MARLA DOWDALL

These Canada geese relax in the waters near Kilmarnock, enjoying a rare sunny fall afternoon.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Food columnist receives support in her journey DEAR EDITOR: I have been overwhelmed with how many readers have taken the time to write by email as well as by regular mail to say how much they enjoyed my column and how they will miss it. Many of the letters have been thoughtful and supportive, and many have told me which are their favourites. Some have even said they look forward to when I will start writing the column again.

We shall see.

I have been extremely fortunate in the treatment I am receiving at the Ottawa General Hospital. All of the tumors have decreased in size, and you cannot imagine how excited we were to get that news.

Thank you to everyone for your support and prayers.

Pat Trew Food and Stuff columnist

EMC Editorial - Tis the time of year and several holiday campaigns have already begun. The Build a Mountain of Food campaign for local food banks, the Salvation Army hamper program, and various other organizations will be kicking things off as we head toward Christmas. One of those getting an early start, the annual OPP Angel Tree initiative, launched last week.

Christmas trees adorn various locations throughout the county ¿lled with tag ornaments. Each tag represents a child in need. Area residents are invited to come to one of the tree locations, select a tag and purchase a gift for a child.

This is the 27th year for the program which ¿rst started out with 50 angels and one small tree. Now, more than two decades later, it has ballooned. So far in 2012, there are 10 trees and 571 ‘angels’, each angel representing a child who, through no fault of their own, ¿nds him or herself in a challenging situation.

The angels assigned to each tree and location are children af¿liated with the Lanark County Child and Family Services.

The need is ongoing, not just for one day of the year. But that special moment when a child ¿rst sees a gift under the tree makes all the time and effort put into the initiative so worthwhile.

The goal is one gift for every child, and organizers say people often give very generously, providing multiple gifts.

While the desire to go above and beyond is noble, it perhaps isn’t the best approach. Often there are multiple children from the same family in need. And if, for example, six gifts are provided to one sibling and just one to another, that could leave the child with fewer items feeling let down, inadvertently defeating the purpose of the program.

Again, organizers stress, one gift per child. This enables each child with a tag that magic moment, a wrapped gift awaiting them for Christmas.

Trees are located in municipal of¿ces throughout Lanark County, and at a variety of participating businesses which have come on board over the past several years as community partners.

While Christmas may be a holiday to get together with family, friends and loved ones, whether it be around a dinner table, a living room, or over tea, it is also about the children – their visit from Santa, their appreciation of all the little things in life, and their gratefulness for the gifts they receive.

For more information about the CAS/OPP Angel Tree Initiative, visit your local municipal of¿ce in Lanark County.

Mary’s list of chores was very long - but memorable EMC Lifestyle - There was a price to pay for being the youngest in the family.

I was given, I thought, more than my share of chores, all because Mother thought they were easy jobs and ones I could handle. All because I was the smallest of the ¿ve children, but also the youngest.

It was my chore to keep the wood box in the kitchen ¿lled. It was a job I hated because never once did I carry in the wood from the summer kitchen that I didn’t end up with splinters in my hands and often in my arms. But Mother thought it was an easy chore and one of which I was quite capable of handling.

Another job that fell on my shoulders was making sure the

water under the ice box accumulated in a white granite basin, was emptied. Only once I remember forgetting about it, and having it overÀow all over the kitchen Àoor. That meant I had to get down on my hands and knees and mop the entire kitchen Àoor. I never forgot to check the basin for melted ice after that.

Making the toast for breakfast was another job Mother thought I was quite capable

of handling. Of course, there was no electricity on the farm back then, so a wire rack was placed over the ¿re in the Findlay Oval. It held four slices of bread and I couldn’t take my eyes off it for a second or the toast would burn.

The penalty for this error in judgment was my having to eat the burnt toast.

The fact that my hateful brother Emerson did everything in his power to have me burn the bread, had me so nervous, I was a complete wreck by the time everyone had their toast.

As soon as I got home from school, and had changed into my play clothes, I was also expected to go out to the hen house and gather the eggs. I used a wicker basket and had

to be very careful to handle the eggs carefully, because many of them would be sold in Renfrew on the Saturday. Large eggs sold for 15 cents a dozen, but if they were cracked, you were lucky to get a nickel. My sister Audrey, older than I by about 11 years, often didn’t use the basket. Like Mother, Audrey would bunch up the bottom of her apron and carry the eggs that way. And never once do I ever remember her cracking an egg.

I tried it one day with my apron, but with disastrous results. I had to go out behind the hen house and get ride of the ones I managed to break before Mother saw what I had done. It was back to the basket for me!

There was a job, how-

ever, I felt very privileged to be given. After the milking was done at night, the milk was moved by stone boat, in big milk cans, into the summer kitchen. It was my job to place a square of clean cheese cloth over each can and then sink on the lids tightly. I could never ¿gure out why we used the cheese cloth, but it was a necessary part of the job.

The next morning, before my chore with the toast began, I would take the big brown baking bowl and the little tin strainer out to the summer kitchen to one of the milk cans. Using the strainer, I would skim off the cream that would settle over the night to the top, and put it into the bowl, so that everyone would have a helping of rich cream

for their porridge. I liked this job because Mother and I had a ritual that never varied all the time we lived on the farm in Renfrew County.

I would bring the bowl of cream into the kitchen and say to Mother, as I did every morning, “A miracle happened overnight, Mother. Last night that milk was white, and this morning it is the colour of gold. It’s a miracle Mother.”

And I would wait for the answer that never varied. “It’s not a miracle Mary… that’s just good old fashioned Renfrew County magic.” We would both laugh, never tiring of the ritual that went on day after day, every morning of my life as the youngest in the family, on that farm in Northcote.

Lanark County talent steps up for Champions for Kids ebrating the Christmas spirit while raising money for a great cause.

The Sunday matinee concerts are being organized on behalf of Champions by Upper Canada District School Board Trustee Anne McRae. “Almonte and Carleton Place are known around eastern Ontario for their talent and we want to take advantage of that,� said McRae of the reason for selecting musical fundraisers. “We have both a strong arts community and one that is musically inclined.�

New treatment shows promise against smoking relapse EMC News - Scientists at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have identiÂżed a potential new approach to preventing smoking relapse, which occurs frequently in smokers who attempt to quit, despite current treatments. “We have developed a protein peptide that may be a new type of highly targeted treatment to prevent smoking relapse,â€? says Dr. Fang Liu, senior scientist in CAMH’s Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute and professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Toronto.

Liu and her team initially found that nicotine exposure can enhance binding between two types of brain receptors and were able to generate a protein peptide to disrupt the binding of the two receptors.

Working with CAMH senior scientist Dr. Anh Dzung Le, the peptide was then tested in an animal model of relapse. As anticipated, it had the effect of reducing attempts to seek nicotine. “These discoveries present an avenue to develop an anti-smoking medication that directly targets the relapse process by focusing on this brain target,� says Liu, whose study was published online in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. “We hope that it will lead to an alternative treatment for smokers who aren’t succeeding with current smoking cessation medications.�

A year after treatment with current medications, only about 20 per cent of people remain abstinent, past research shows.

The CAMH is Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, as well as one of the world’s leading research centres in its ¿eld.

Wheels of Hope The Wheels of Hope campaign raises money for the transportation program, which helps more than 1,000 clients in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville through the local unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. Last year, the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 79 volunteer drivers drove 318,212 kilometres, with each trip costing an average of just more than $60 due to the long distances travelled in eastern Ontario.

The Canadian Cancer Society averages 24 new clients each month using the transportation program.

The average cancer treatment lasts seven weeks, with a minimum of 14 trips.

The program cost more than $95,000 last year.

If you would like to help get a local cancer patient to their cancer treatments you can donate to the Wheels of Hope program at www.cancer.ca/perth or by calling 613-267-1058 or 1-800367-2913.

The Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society is pleased to partner with The EMC and BNTV/ BrockNews as sponsors of Wheels of Hope.

EMC News - When Neil Fairgrieve was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he thought he might be able to manage driving to appointments and treatments on his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, maybe I could do it myself,â&#x20AC;? the Brockville resident admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Instead, Fairgrieveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Sharron, told him she had heard about the transportation program funded by the Canadian Cancer Society. The organization recruits volunteer drivers to take patients to hospitals in Ottawa, Kingston, Brockville and other points throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties.

Because Sharron doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive, the couple looked into the volunteer driver program. Following surgery last November, Fairgrieve had three or four different drivers take him to the Queensway-Carleton Hospital in Ottawa every weekday for several weeks.

Sharron went with him a couple of times at the beginning to scope out the situation, and then Fairgrieve went on his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The drivers were excellent,â&#x20AC;? he stressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get to know them and chat with them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they were really good.â&#x20AC;?

Fairgrieve said his treatments lasted only about 15 minutes once he arrived at the hospital. Still, having a driver took away potential stress.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no anxiety at all about getting there and back,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Âżrst couple of days and weeks, you anticipate all sorts of things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; (at least) youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there comfortably.â&#x20AC;?

He said since using the program, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprised that most people with cancer donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take advantage of the volunteer drivers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because it really does put you at ease.â&#x20AC;?

He hopes that raising awareness of the transportation program through the Canadian Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wheels of Hope campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which runs until the end of December â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will convince more people to use the service. Men, he suggested, are particularly hesitant to ask for help when they learn they have a disease such as prostate cancer.

He discovered that Âżrst hand when a friend in the Brockville area started a prostate-cancer support group. Quite a few men turned out for the Âżrst meeting, he said, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men think, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get involved,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Fairgrieve said.

He pointed out that volunteers are crucial for the transportation program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exceptional people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very interested, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get really involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an inquisition.â&#x20AC;?

He said he would recommend the service for anybody who needs it, even if they are hesitant to make

STEO prepared for inclement weather fect busing. If there are problems on the horizon, bus contractors are noti¿ed. Forecasts are reviewed again at 9:30 p.m.

On the mornings that snow storms, freezing rain, or other weather problems are expected, the forecasting service, Pelmorex/The Weather Network, is contacted at 4:30 a.m. to check on weather conditions. Pelmorex/The Weather Network is one of the most accurate forecasting services in the country.

The same system is used by road crews from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.

STEO staff members do not rely solely on forecasts, however, when deciding whether or not to cancel bus service.

Consultation takes place with a team of contractors whose staff members check area roads at 4:30 a.m. if bad weather is expected. The region is separated into 18 zones with a contractor as a captain in each zone. The captain reports weather and road conditions to Cotnam directly, con¿rming the amount of snow and ice accumulation on roads, if snow or freezing rain is continuing, and providing details on accumulation and intensity. STEO, and the contractors, also consult with municipal road crews, police, and other school boards throughout the region, before making the call.

With such a large area, it’s not unusual for weather to be bad in some parts of the jurisdiction, and not others. In those situations the board only cancels busing in problem areas, or areas where weather is ex-

pected to pose dif¿culty for bus drivers by the time they pick up students for the return trip home. This means buses can be cancelled in all 18 zones, or cancelled in as few as one, when conditions warrant such an order. Parents may get frustrated if roads in their area look ¿ne, but while one street may

look clear, travel elsewhere in the immediate region may be dangerous.

The ¿nal decision on bus cancellations is made by the Director of Education from each board, or his designate, based on Cotnam’s recommendations.

The decision to cancel must be made by 5:45 a.m., as buses be-

gin as early as 6 a.m.

“We understand that cancelling buses in bad weather has a big effect on families, and we know that students are best served in the classroom,” said Cotnam. “Parents must understand though that we care about our students and their safety is our top priority, so there are

times we simply must cancel busing to keep them safe.”

Once the decision is made to run, STEO cannot reverse it, even if weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse.

IF YOU WORK IN ONTARIO, THIS IS YOUR FIGHT. On September 11, 2012, the Ontario Liberal government passed Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act, 2012.

Bill 115 is undemocratic, unconstitutional, and unprecedented. s It takes away the democratic rights of teachers and education professionals to bargain collectively. s It places the government beyond the reach of the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Ontario Labour Relations Act, and even the courts. s It takes local decision-making away from school boards and puts it in the hands of the provincial government.

That’s why we’re standing against Bill 115. It sets a dangerous precedent for all Ontarians. In fact, the government has already threatened other public sector workers with similar legislation.

As teachers, we teach your children to stand up for their principles. Today, we ask you to do the same.

What can you do to help?

Join us in standing up for democratic rights. Let your MPP know that Bill 115 must be repealed.

EMC News – With winter near, and the impending onset of inclement weather, Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) has improved the way it manages bus cancellations for the upcoming winter season.

“STEO has worked vigorously to improve communication with parents and students about decisions to cancel busing if snowy conditions or icy roads make it unsafe to run buses,” said Ron Cotnam, STEO’s general manager and chief administrative of¿cer.

Letters have been sent to all parents of students in both the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), explaining the process for issuing bus cancellation orders. STEO’s website offers easy access to transportation updates during inclement weather season.

While STEO still works with area radio and TV stations to issue details about cancellations, the website means parents don’t have to wait for the next newscast to get details. They can log on at www.steo.ca to access information.

“The decision to cancel busing is not taken lightly,” explained Cotnam. “It’s based on careful analysis of several factors, from up-to-date weather forecasts, to information from bus drivers who check roads on mornings when problem weather is expected.”

STEO staff review forecasts each day before 2 p.m. to check for weather alerts that may af-

Winter driving tips to stay safe ing shaded areas, bridges and overpasses, as these areas of road freeze faster than others in cold weather. Watch for “black ice”, a thin coating of ice, which is almost invisible but very hazardous. It may appear as a wet black patch on the road surface. It can cause your vehicle to suddenly lose traction, braking and cornering control. Look for other vehicles that may be experiencing trouble ahead.

• Accelerate and brake gradually. When starting from a stop on slick roads, start slowly and accelerate gradually to maintain traction and avoid spinning your wheels.

When stopping, plan well in advance and apply the brakes gently, slowly adding pressure rather than braking suddenly.

• Avoid sudden moves.

Slow down and steer smooth-

ly and gradually to avoid skidding. Accelerate gently, turn slowly, and brake carefully and early. Avoid unexpected quick movements that could put you in a spin. Anticipate turns, stops, and lane changes well before they occur.

Suggested winter survival kit items include: • Cell phone, • Flashlight/reÀectors, • Ice scraper/washer Àuid, • extra clothing and footwear/blankets, • Candle/matches and a small tin can, • Non-perishable energy foods (granola bars/juice/bottled water), • First aid kit, • Booster cables.

EMC Lifestyle – In order to stay safe this winter in slippery and icy roads the following are a few tips to follow: • Maintain a safe following distance. It takes longer to stop on a slippery road. Look ahead and keep plenty of distance between you and other vehicles (at least six seconds).

Having good winter tires will improve your handling and stopping distance.

• Slow your speed to match road conditions. The posted speed is the maximum speed under ideal conditions. In winter, it is safer to drive below the posted speed. No matter how much experience you have, the way your vehicle responds on snow or ice always has an element of unpredictability.

• Watch for black ice.

Slow down when approach-

NEWS

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Be tick smart during the hunting season be capable of transferring the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. In Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, there are an increasing number of areas where the black-legged tick carrying Lyme disease can be found.

Any bite from an infected black legged tick that has been attached for a minimum of 24 hours has the potential to cause Lyme disease regardless of the geographic area in which the tick was “picked-up.”

What can you do to minimize your exposure to ticks?

Wear light coloured, long sleeved shirts and long pants.

For extra protection, tuck your pants into your socks. Use bug repellent containing DEET. Read the manufacturer’s instructions before applying the repellent on yourself or children.

When you return from the outdoors, check your entire body thoroughly for ticks, showering right away will help to remove loose ticks off your body.

If you ¿nd an attached tick,

remove it promptly using a pair of tweezers. Grasp the tick’s head and mouth parts as close to the skin as possible and pull it straight out gently, but ¿rmly. Avoid squeezing the tick during removal. Treat the bite area with an antiseptic.

If the black-legged tick has been attached for more than 24 hours and is engorged (fed/ taken a blood meal) you should visit your health care provider within 72 hours of removing the tick for a medical assessment.

Be aware of signs of infection following a tick bite.

Bites from ticks infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease may result in a red rash that may appear within three days and up to a month after the bite. A bull’s eye rash may be present in the area of the bite. Symptoms of Lyme disease may include fever, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain. These symptoms may disappear, but if left untreated Lyme disease can progress to affect the ner-

vous system, joints and the heart. If you develop symptoms of Lyme disease consult your health care provider and let them know that you were bitten by a tick.

For further information on Lyme Disease, please contact the Health Unit at 613-3455685 or our Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853 or visit www.healthunit.org.

Justin Trudeau pitches centrist politics to party faithful

By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Expect Justin Trudeau to bring centrist policies back to a divided nation should he win the Liberal leadership, according to a speech he delivered at a party dinner held in the riding last week.

A soft spoken Trudeau told about 200 party faithful at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club event that both the Conservatives and New Democrats are cynically appealing to core voters while demonizing others for political gain.

It has meant the electorate is voting against the other side, not for a positive solution that will forward the country, said the 41-year-old Montreal

area MP. “That’s not good enough for Canada right now,” Trudeau said. “People say Liberals are crowded out of the political spectrum; that there’s a shrinking sliver for the Liberals.

It’s not about two lines sliding together, because we can raise the level of debate. There’s a lot of room in there.”

While offering no speci¿c policy plans, Trudeau talked about it being easy to divide people into various socioeconomic classes and regions; that it is much harder to unite a people.

He talked about young people no longer expecting to have a better life than their

parents, a ¿rst in the history of Canada. And he mentioned that more and more seniors enter retirement and poverty at the same time. Both are victims of an ever-increasing wealth gap, he said; the economy recovers, but ultra rich are getting richer and the working classes fall farther behind.

He said polls show Canadians believe we’ve made it through the recession, that the economy is doing pretty well.

But when asked, their families are not doing as well.

“This is more than an economic problem,” he said.

“When the deal was made, it said if you work hard, level your problems at home, you can succeed in this country.

Right now we can’t make that deal.”

He said the party doesn’t have all the answers; that it will have to listen to Canadians, particularly plugged-in young people who are making a difference but not participating in mainstream politics.

“That’s not a condemnation of young people. That’s a condemnation of politicians.”

Before dinner interview In an exclusive interview before he spoke, Trudeau was asked about the relevancy of a party known for carefully managing the economy and maintaining middle-of-theroad policies in a world that increasingly calls for bold decision-making.

“That’s why I speak to so

many young people,” he said.

“We need to have a grown up conversation about these issues, not a simple sound-bite answer.”

He was asked about the party’s brand. The Liberals are often cited as cosmopolitan elitists, of which he is seen as the poster boy. He conceded that the party has disconnected with a lot of voters who have “drifted away.”

But that when people see the party’s superior policies – it’s not the economy over the environment as the Conservatives believe, or the environment over the economy as the NDP believes, he said – they will return. The party’s brand is more about substances than style, he indicated.

Among those at the fundraising dinner were city councillors Eli El-Chantiry and Marianne Wilkinson, former Liberal candidates Megan Cornell and Karen McCrimmon, MPs Hedy Fry and Scott Sims, Senator Jim Munson, and party activist Isabel Metcalfe.

The formal launch of the campaign was Wednesday, Nov. 14. Among those vying with Trudeau for the top job, is David Merner, David Bertschi, Alex Burton, Deborah Coyne, Jonathan Mousley and Constance Bay’s own Karen McCrimmon.

The winner will be announced in Ottawa on April 14, 2013.

Local woman, Karen McCrimmon joins Liberal leadership race

By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Constance Bay’s own Karen McCrimmon has jumped into the federal Liberal Leadership campaign.

McCrimmon, a retired lieutenant colonel, was expected to announce her bid for the party’s top job last night, Nov.

14, at the Kanata Holiday Inn. Best known for being the ¿rst woman to command a Canadian Forces Air Force Squadron, 429 Squadron Trenton, she lost to Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor – also a former military person - in the 2011 election. O’Connor won with 57 per cent of the vote to

McCrimmon’s 24 per cent.

In a press release announcing her intention, McCrimmon called for cooperation.

“Like you, Karen is a proud Canadian,” it reads. “Karen knows that responsible leaders must work as a team to realize our nation’s full potential.”

Her campaign slogan is

Karen for Canada, with the website address karenforcanada.ca.

As commanding of¿cer of 429 Squadron, which Àew tactical transport C130 Hercules, McCrimmon and her crews carried out many humanitarian and military operations around the globe. She served in the

Gulf War, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and was also a senior staff of¿cer at NATO headquarters in Germany. In 1995, she was awarded the Order of Military Merit, one of the highest peace time military awards.

She is a mother of two grown children.

The formal launch of the

campaign was Wednesday, Nov. 14. Among those vying with McCrimmon for the top job is Justin Trudeau, David Merner, David Bertschi, Alex Burton, Deborah Coyne, and Jonathan Mousley.

The winner will be announced in Ottawa on April 14, 2013.

Clothing sale for local charity partners EMC Events - As Good As New and Jewel’s Gently Used Clothing Stores have partnered up once again in serving the families of Lanark County. They will be hosting a children’s clothing sale from Thursday, Nov. 15 to Saturday, Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The sale will be held at Modern Thymes Health Food Store at 11 Russell St. E. in Smiths Falls in their special events room.

“There will be so many fantastic donations from our big supporters at OutGROW OutPLAY and Carleton Place Mom 2 Mom Sale,” states Robin Heald, volunteer from Big Brothers Big Sisters. “We have great quality brand name clothing from birth to size eight as well as toys and supplies.”

OutGROW OutPLAY has been a supporter of our stores for a number of

years. Consignors often choose to donate the items that do not sell at their event to charity. With this year’s Carleton Place Mom 2 Mom Sale, some vendors donated items to us as well.

Both As Good As New and Jewel’s Gently Used Clothing Stores are social enterprise stores where every dollar goes to local non-pro¿ts that serve children and women.

The As Good As New Store is in Carleton Place and sells clothing and household goods to fund local programs for at-risk women and children.

Jewel’s Gently Used Clothing Stores are in both Smiths Falls and Perth and fund local children’s mentoring programs for at-risk youth. Each of these three stores provides funding exclusively to support the valuable programs that our local non-pro¿ts provide in

our community. These two organizations support local at-risk families who need support and mentorship at their most critical times.

“A big thank you goes to Modern Thymes for housing our event and all of the wonderful volunteers that make an event like this a great success,” explains Alyssa Burns, marketing coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

For more information about how you can support the As Good As New Store, call 613-257-3469 or visit www.lcih.org.

To ¿nd out how you can support Jewel’s Gently Used Clothing Stores, call 613-283-9723 or visit www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

Dress the kids you love while making a difference in a child’s life. Don’t miss this fun event which will boast hundreds of items at dramatically low prices.

LCBO stores raise funds for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind EMC News - Starting Nov. 11, the public can help support Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind by making a donation at any of the more than 625 LCBO stores throughout Ontario.

Donation boxes for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Dec. 8.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984. Since that time, Canadian Guide Dogs for the

Blind has provided professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired from coast to coast, including most areas of Ontario. Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest guide dogs can be found working in communities such as Hamilton, Mississauga, Pembroke, Rockland, and Wiarton.

Steven Doucette, Spokesperson for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate the support we receive from LCBO, its employees and

especially its customers.

EMC News - The Central Canada Tier 1 Junior Hockey League (CCHL) has partnered with Gongshow Gear and enrolled in the popular “Movember” campaign.

In the inaugural year the league raised over $10,000 in the efforts to raise awareness of prostate cancer and mental health. The league has found a solid partner in Gongshow Gear, the leader in Lifestyle Hockey Apparel who will sponsor all of the prizing and incent the players to surpass last year’s total.

All 12 teams are signed up and will begin the quest to raise the most dollars and grow the very best facial hair for the whole month of November.

Kevin Abrams, Commissioner of the CCHL is proud of the initiative, “This is a natural for us, 16-20 year-old men should be very conscious of this – they need to be educated and be part of the solution.”

In 2011 more than 854,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas around the world got on board and raised $125.7 million CAD. “It’s also great that one of our league partners Gongshow Gear has stepped up to sponsor Movember - our players love their clothing so they will de¿nitely work hard to raise signi¿cant dollars and win some great Lifestyle Hockey

EMC News - Deer gun hunting season is under way in Kemptville District. Hunters should know and follow the rules, and take necessary safety precautions.

Hunting rules and hunting safety: All hunters must wear solid hunter orange clothing (minimum of 400 square inches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2,580 square centimetres) and a hunter orange head cover, except during â&#x20AC;&#x153;bows-onlyâ&#x20AC;? seasons.

Handle Âżrearms with care and attention at all times.

Keep guns and ammunition separate and locked in a secure location when not in use.

Hunters must never shoot unless they are absolutely sure of their target and what lays beyond it.

It is illegal to shoot from a vehicle or carry a loaded Âżrearm in or on a vehicle.

A hunter cannot transfer his/her game seal or possess a game seal issued to another person.

A hunter who kills a deer must immediately attach a game seal in the manner prescribed on the seal, and it must remain attached during transportation.

Natural attractants containing body Ă&#x20AC;uids of any member of the deer family (urine, blood, etc.) may no longer be possessed or used for the purposes of hunting in Ontario. This regulation is designed to help prevent chronic wasting disease from entering the province.

Broomball tournament finishes on high note tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Broomball successfully sweeps through the Valley.

Mississippi Mills councillor and committee member Paul Watters called the weeklong 2012 World Broomball Championship a success with more than 1,000 people coming into Almonte for the tournament.

“That’s pretty impressive for a small town,” said Watters. “Where ever they were coming from they now know Almonte and the Valley.

The event was watched through international eyes as well as Kunio Hatakeyama sports division/board of education of¿cial with Tomakomai City, Japan, was in attendance. The city will be hosting the 2014 Championship. Hatakeyama spoke very highly of the tournament at the Civic Reception on Oct. 30.

“It is a very special and important event,” Hatakeyama said through a translator. “We want to learn from you. I can see that Almonte and the other Ottawa Valley communities have done a great job organizing the event. It’s great to see so many com-

munity volunteers. It is a world class event.”

Volunteers Rich Chiarizia, owner/ player of Barrie’s Tavern from Minnesota thought the organizing committee and volunteers did a fantastic job.

“They are overwhelming generous, they have literally taken players to get equipment,” said Chiarizia.

“They couldn’t be more accommodating, everyone on our team is enjoying their time here, and everything is great.”

The praise for the tournament keeps rolling in.

“Organizers are getting so many e-mails thanking us for the event,” said Watters. “Every team said it was the best event they’ve been to, it says so much for the 250 volunteers throughout the Ottawa Valley. Between the volunteers and the sponsors that contributed they helped make it a major success.”

He makes special mention of three volunteers: Colleen Good, Nancy Fulton and Leann Thompson.

“These three ladies were my heart and soul as to how it ran in Almonte, without them it would not have run as transparent and wouldn’t have ran so well.”

But he notes all of the volunteers were important to the success of the event.

“Ottawa Valley volunteers are here when you need them.”

The tournament was not only an example of the volunteers working together but also the four communities who co-hosted the event: Beckwith, Carleton Place, Almonte/Pakenham and Arnprior.

“It was amazing talking to Mayor Reid in Arnprior like he was my neighbour same with Reeve Richard Kidd you don’t see these people often but it was just amazing.”

One downside of the tournament was that all 55 teams stayed in hotels outside of Almonte and the other host communities in Kanata. Watters noted that with a large tournament it is nice to have everyone at the same place.

“Almonte could prob-

ably use a hotel,” said Watters. “There was a big time loss of economic dollars to Kanata with people going out to dinner there and shopping.”

Learning experience Watters has already had a meeting with recreations director Calvin Murphy and will be doing a presentation at the Dec. 3 Parks and Recreation Meeting on the advantages of hosting the event and what they can do moving forward to better equip the arenas.

One of the things they will look to improve on is installing Wi-Fi in the arena, in the ¿nals Arnprior was able to stream the games live but Almonte does not yet have this capability.

During preparations for the tournament with a number of local organizations the goal was to stress shopping local and he thinks local shops felt an economic

boost as well.

“By bringing in over a 1,000 people to the downtown for the week it would have been a great economic bene¿t for the town.”

A highlight for Watters was the kindness shown by all involved.

“The people from around the world were so incredibly nice, you could sit and talk to anyone at anytime,” said Watters.

Another highlight was having students from all of the Almonte Schools attend various games and the kids cheering on the players

with clappers they handed out.

“The players loved the fact that the stands were full for every game.”

As the week went on spectator numbers also increased, on Wednesday they had almost a 100 fans out watching the games.

Two of the goals the organizers had were to successfully run a tournament of this size and bring broomball back into the Ottawa Valley, both of which Watters says they achieved.

11 D’Arcy Street touring through some historical treasures. The tour features ¿ve heritage homes, and three newer houses, including a Georgian style home. Six locations are in the town proper limits, while two are just outside of Perth.

This year the focus is on Christmas decoration, and

as such two decorators have come on board – each taking four house tour locations.

Elisabeth Kuiper, of Interior Views and Peggy Paul, formerly of Kelly’s Flowers and Fine Things, will aid in transforming the tour location’s dining rooms into visually appealing holiday delights.

Perfect, for those seeking out ideas on how to decorate their own homes for Christmas. The Àowers and Àower arrangements are being undertaken by various Àorists throughout the area.

Hickey explained feedback from previous house tours has indicated people like to get

ideas for their own decorating purposes from the featured homes.

“This aspect (of the tour) has grown to reÀect that,” she commented. While CFUW may be a volunteer run organization, the ladies noted, they are experienced enough to know they have to give the

EMC Events – Each year the Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour grows and evolves, and this year’s seventh installment has continued that trend.

Curious about what lies behind the doors of some beautiful heritage homes you drive by every day? Perhaps you haven’t decided how to decorate your home for the holidays yet? Or maybe you need a fun activity to kick off your holiday spirit?

The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth and District, have once again planned very carefully for this annual event – Dec. 1 and 2, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. Tickets are $30 each.

“Each year we are growing in terms of the magnitude of what it involves,” said Karen Hickey, CFUW House Tour committee member. “It (the tour) has kept evolving.”

Each year different elements are added, to not only add value, but to ensure those interested in attending are left satis¿ed, said Jackie Boyer, chair of the CFUW house tour, and vice president of CFUW Perth and District.

“This year is going to be really beautiful,” Boyer described. “We have raised the bar in terms of décor.”

Eight unique homes are featured in this year’s tour, which has many added treats, aside from the main focus of

customer what they want, so to speak, therefore changes have been made to focus on decorating.

Each location will feature musical entertainment and on both days of the tour, the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn and Spa will be offering complimentary refreshments.

While stopping in at the spa check out the tour’s Gift Marketplace which will feature 13 tables of treats for purchase, including scarves, Christmas ornaments, baking, decorative items for the home, knitted goods, garlic braids and much more.

This is the ¿rst year for the marketplace element, something which both Hickey and Boyer are very excited for.

Ten per cent of the sales from each table will be going towards the House Tour.

Tour attendees can also take advantage of the well priced meals offered up at several participating local restaurants and at St. James Anglican Church on both days. Ticket holders need to show their tickets at the locations identi¿ed within their tour book.

These locations donate a percentage of their sales back to the tour.

The Best Western has additionally jumped on board, not just in hosting the marketplace and offering complimentary refreshments, they are also offering ticket holders a special nightly rate and one $40 spa

TOUR This year the tour has both an overall sponsor and individual home sponsors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are certainly well positioned to make more money,â&#x20AC;? Boyer commented.

Last year alone, $17,500 in educational awards were given out through the CFUW Perth and District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The town is very supportive of anything that is charitable,â&#x20AC;? Hickey nodded.

Tickets are $30 each and are available (cash or cheque only) in Ottawa (Tivoli Florists), Kingston (Trugs Home), Almonte (Smitten), Smiths Falls (Elizabeth Interiors) and in Perth at Home Furniture. You can also order them by calling 613-267-2270. Throughout the tour careful attention is paid to parking. Tickets contain maps outlining locations where parking is available.

At the end of the tour CFUW holds a reception to thank the home owners and tour volunteers, as a chance to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wind downâ&#x20AC;? after the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events, noted Hickey.

There are many volunteers who have worked and will be working hard that weekend to ensure the event is a success.

Six CFUW members are involved in the planning group for the tour, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;all members of the club are expected to participate as volunteersâ&#x20AC;? in the

two day event. Some are unable to participate due to perhaps a health issue, however they help in whatever way they possibly can.

There are approximately 100 ladies involved in the CFUW, with 95 per cent involved in the tour in one way or another, Hickey noted.

The organization itself is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focused on improving the lives of women and girls in a number of ways,â&#x20AC;? Hickey explained.

The CFUW has a network of 10,000 members across the country. SpeciÂżcally on a local level, the CFUW offers opportunities for support and friendship, regular meetings on a variety of issues from political to cultural, special interest and study groups, the opportunity to advocate locally about CFUW policies and much, much more.

The CFUW Perth and District was established in 1970, and is one of 122 clubs across Canada. A woman may join if she has a degree, diploma or the equivalent from an accredited tertiary education institution, according to material supplied by CFUW.

credit for that weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are encouraged to make a weekend out of it,â&#x20AC;?

Boyer commented.

Hickey agreed, saying a lot of tour goers have made this an â&#x20AC;&#x153;annual eventâ&#x20AC;? and it has become, for some, a girls weekend out, and for others their traditional kick off to the Christmas season. Both ladies note an added bonus with this event is it spans two days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if for some reason those attending are unable to get to all of the locations they wish to in one day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have another day and need not rush. The same can be said for the weather â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are two days to explore.

For the CFUW this is their major annual fundraiser. Dollars donated to the tour go to education awards, reading programs, to libraries and more.

Thus far CFUW has raised over $75,000 in the last six years through this popular annual tour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dollars which have all gone towards funding their educational initiatives, as mentioned. Education grants, speciÂżcally, are given to young women and mature women who may be getting their qualiÂżcations to re-enter the workforce.

Last year and this year the tour has been entirely self funded, explained Hickey.

Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio Theatre wins praise at EODL EMC Entertainment The Eastern Ontario Drama League One Act Play Festival is an annual event that brings together top community theatre companies from across the Ottawa Valley in friendly competition. This year the Festival was held Nov. 9 to 11 at Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Domino Theatre, where groups from Peterborough, Kingston, Ottawa, Perth, Winchester, West Carleton, The Bay of Quinte, Manotick, and Kemptville performed for enthusiastic audiences, as well as a professional adjudicator.

Again this year, Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

own Studio Theatre was a standout in several prestigious categories. The Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of George Bernard Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-act play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overruledâ&#x20AC;? was awarded the Peterborough Theatre Guild Adjudicator Award, and was also nominated for Best Visual Production, Best Acting (recognizing Grace Main, Joanna McAuley, Harold Potter and Grey Masson for their outstanding ensemble acting), Best Director (Patricia Parry), and Best Production.

Adjudicator Bea Quarrie praised the Studio Theatre for accepting the chal-

lenge of bringing George Bernard Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful language to life, saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a time when we are perhaps not as accustomed to the type of language used

by Shaw, it was clear that both the director and the actors seemed completely at home in this brilliant period piece.â&#x20AC;? Adjudicator Quarrie also commended the cast members for their ensemble work, in which each actor fully supported their fellow actors, and praised the simple but elegant set and costumes, which instantly gave the audience a sense of time and place.

House tour features unique gems

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Events - The seventh Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour put on by the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth and District takes place Dec. 1 and 2, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. Tickets are $30 each.

Eight unique homes are featured in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour, which has many added treats, aside from the main focus of touring through some historical treasures. The tour features Âżve heritage homes, and three newer houses, including a Georgian style home.

The following are small proÂżles of the eight homes featured in the event: â&#x20AC;˘ 3 Lewis St. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What began as The Bolt Factory in 1883, this rubble stone building has had a number of uses throughout its diverse history. The designated heritage site, in 1981 was restored to a residential building, featuring high ceilings, creative designs, balconies, some overhanging the Little Tay River. â&#x20AC;˘ 15 Lewis St. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Sym Dupuis House was built in the early 1900s, and was occupied by the Sym and Dupuis families for over seven decades.

Over the past nearly half a decade the current owners have renovated, expanded and preserved the original Ă&#x20AC;oor plan

and historic feel to the house.

The house is a modest, century old labourerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dwelling. â&#x20AC;˘ Tay View Farm (Bowes Side Road) - On the north side of the river this -Âżne dwelling- was built in the 1860s by John Allan, owner of the Tay View Mill located opposite.

Antiques, old light Âżxtures, original Ă&#x20AC;oors, high ceilings are featured throughout. Today the home is a very busy working farmhouse. â&#x20AC;˘ 17 Mary St. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Built in 1937, this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cape Codâ&#x20AC;? style home was built by local carpenter Milford Rabb. The original owners lived in the home from 1937 to 1979, the Walker family. Upon their â&#x20AC;&#x153;demiseâ&#x20AC;? the home was left to the Salvation Army, according to the tour brochure. Subsequently purchased by the Parks family, a two storey extension was built on in 1987, designed by David Cavalier.

Cavalier honoured the original style of the home. Today, as noted in the brochure, the residence is home to Holly Peckettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original artwork. â&#x20AC;˘ 22 Drummond St. - Exemplifying late 19th century Victorian Italianate architecture this home was built between 1887 and 1888. Features reĂ&#x20AC;ecting this style include â&#x20AC;&#x153;the columned front porch and side porches, the second storey â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;widowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the large bay windows and leaded glass

Original pewter chandelier in the dining room.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ 11 Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy St. Robertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Music Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Originally built in 1846 for James Robertson, a cordwainer (shoemaker) the

Edinburgh town house was lost in order to Âżnance his music hall at 15 Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy. In 1877 Dr. Kennedy, a dentist connected his ofÂżce and the house with telephones presented by Melville Bell, the father of telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell. The doctor would later run Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Âżrst phone exchange from the building. In 1946, Colin

Farmer converted the house to apartments, however the classic layout and millwork was preserved. The ceiling of the music hall still exists in the attic of 13 Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy St. â&#x20AC;˘ 9 Perkins Boulevard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This traditional two storey home may only be 19 years old, however it is a perfect example of the architectural styles displayed in this unique

cul-de-sac. The home features spacious rooms, open Ă&#x20AC;oor plan and central staircase. The Mediterranean-style garden is a view to behold. â&#x20AC;˘ 1879 Drummond Concession #1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Standing for nearly two centuries, the home built

by Lieutenant Alexander Fraser in Drummond Township is an example of the masonry skills of Scottish craftsmen of the time. The house, named AnnsÂżeld, after his wife Ann Earle provided space, style and had the facilities to entertain the elite of the settlement at that time. The annex to the rear was built, according to the tour brochure, to accommodate servants. It was completed in 1823 and at the time was â&#x20AC;&#x153;among the best residences in the Perth Military settlement.â&#x20AC;?

Those attending Perth for the house tour, will be able to delight in other seasonal events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including the Nick of Time Artisan Show, Dec. 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at McMartin House. The Santa Claus parade will also take place Saturday, Dec. 1 at 5 p.m. with a theme of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Cartoon Christmas.â&#x20AC;?

Students at Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown could be excused for thinking they were in a jungle this week. Judy Tennant of Parrot Partners in Beckwith had brought ďŹ ve of her beautiful parrots to educate and entertain the students.

Judy rescues and trains parrots and cockatoos, then ďŹ nds suitable homes for them. Two beautiful macaws, a dancing white cockatoo, a stroke-able cockatoo and an African grey accompanied her to the school. Students were educated about the nutritional needs of parrots, as well as mechanics of ďŹ&#x201A;ight, poaching, pet trade problems and responsibilities in caring for parrots as pets.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

EMC News - Recently, local MP Scott Reid spoke to the Ontario Federal Electoral Boundary Commission in Ottawa in response to their proposed new Federal Riding boundaries for this area.

The commission’s proposed new boundaries would split Hastings, Lennox & Addington, and Frontenac Counties between multiple ridings.

“I wanted to bring it to the attention of the commission that each of these counties wishes to stay united in the same riding where possible, as they have proposed to do for Lanark County,” commented Reid.

Reid noted that the municipality of Mississippi Mills (Almonte, Ramsay and Pakenham), despite being in a different riding than the rest of Lanark County for the past eight years, still feels very strongly that they should be united with the rest of the county.

To prove the point, Reid commissioned a survey from a professional polling company to ask residents if they wish to be represented by the same MP as western Ottawa, as is the case now, or if they wish to be represented by the

same MP as the rest of their county. The results of the survey showed that 82.6 per cent of respondents would prefer to be in the same riding as the rest of Lanark County.

After presenting this evidence, Reid shared two proposed alternatives with the commission. The ¿rst alternative he proposed would see Lanark County, North Frontenac, Central Frontenac, and South Frontenac form one riding, along with the pre-amalgamation townships of Kingston and Pittsburgh. Lennox & Addington County would join Prince Edward County and Hastings County (less Belleville and Quinte West) to form another riding.

“My ¿rst proposed solution would ensure that all of the counties can remain at least as intact as they are now, while still meeting the objectives of the commission, which is to create ridings of nearly equal population size,” stated Reid.

Reid also suggested that another solution could be to create a riding with Lanark County, Lennox & Addington County minus Greater Napanee, and Frontenac County minus Frontenac Islands. Hastings County mi-

nus Quinte West would join Greater Napanee to form a different riding.

“This solution would allow the commission to keep Belleville with the rest of Hastings County, but would break Greater Napanee away from Lennox and Addington. However, this would be the simplest solution in that it simply redraws the borders between two proposed ridings that would split all but one of these four counties, so that it only splits one municipality away from the rest of its county,” concluded Reid.

The ¿nal draft of the Ontario Federal Electoral Boundary Commission’s proposal will be completed some time after Nov. 19, the date of their last public consultation. Following that, the commission will submit their draft to Parliament to be reviewed and approved by MPs in a special committee before the new boundaries are rati¿ed. No ridings will be affected until the next election in 2015, when MPs will be elected according to the new boundaries.

Check tread pattern of today’s winter tires BRIAN TURNER

for improper installation, and a very hefty one if it was done by a tire shop. I hope you see ¿t to address this issue in a near future article as people are now making the switch to winter tires.”

Thank you, Duncan Pyke A big thank you goes out to Duncan for this very timely and important reminder. Many winter tires sold today are unidirectional. Sometimes this tread pattern is quite noticeable but sometimes it is very subtle. To check whether or not your winter tires are unidirectional, look on the sidewall for an arrow with the word rotation beside it.

This will indicate which direction the tire is designed to turn.

chanic ¿nds the same thing and says they should be banned! Have you heard of any complaints about this and is there somewhere that you can complain to?

I enjoy reading your column in the EMC.” Thanks Phil Worthing You’re certainly not alone in your dif¿culties with the High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps that are getting more and more popular these days.

These are projection style lamps that throw their light from their bulbs forward rather than the common reÀector style lamps that project their ‘bulb-light’ rearwards into a reÀective dish which then projects it forward. HID lights are easily distinguished due to the bluish or purplish tinge to their bright white lights.

You can contact Transport Canada at 1-800333-0510 or through their website at www.tc.gc.ca to register a complaint.

If the lamps are properly aimed they shouldn’t be a hazard but many drivers

Car Counselor

don’t pay much attention to this adjustment, or consider the effect that overloading the rear of the vehicle has on headlamp aim. Also a lot of problems stem from car owners installing HID systems on vehicles that weren’t designed for it.

When faced with an approaching vehicle with these lights, remember your driving instructor’s warning to focus your vision as far to the right as is safely possible until the vehicle passes. If one is approaching from the rear, keep your interior rear-view mirror on the night position and keep your door mirrors adjusted downwards as is safely possible.

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

EMC Lifestyle - “Hello Brian, I think your article is well read, and a good place to address what I believe is a dangerous mistake made by people. This time of year with winter tires being installed, I notice people making the mistake of putting directional winter tires on backwards. They are missing the point of the unidirectional tread pattern. The principle of a unidirectional tread pattern is to evacuate water, slush, or snow from the centre of the tire to the outside allowing maximum contact with the road. Farm tractor tires have been designed like this for decades to evacuate mud to maximize traction. By putting the tires on backwards the tire actually channels everything to the center making the tire in many instances less effective than a regular all season tire, not only eliminating all bene¿t of the unidirectional tread pattern, but making the traction situation worse than if the tire was a wore out all season tire. Channeling more slush or water under the tires creates a very dangerous traction situation for the driver and therefore other drivers on the road. I ¿rmly believe that there should be a ¿ne

From a real gentleman to a stunning specimen LAWS has dogs waiting for forever homes EMC Lifestyle Dook - A little about me.....I am a real gentleman. I am very food motivated and can be good on leash for a hound.

I am a vocal dog here at the shelter, however I will likely be more of an alarm barker in a new home.

I am an affectionate dog with people once trust is established.

I get along with some dogs but would prefer a quiet home.

Dexter - A little about me.....I am an absolutely stunning specimen.

I am described as a “sweetheart” by all the staff at LAWS. I am easily excited and very strong, which makes

it imperative that I learn to calm down quickly.

I know some basic commands, but could use some ¿ne tuning.

I love people and attention.

Myla - A little about me........I’m a beautiful, independent and loyal girl.

I love the people who have taken the time to get to know who I really am.

I need a human who will take me for who I am and work with me on my socialization with new humans and dogs and help me to become who I was meant to be.

The LAWS pets of the week are Dook, Dexter and Myla.

Tea and the United States can produce evil brew EMC Lifestyle - I come from a family of tea drinkers.

It must be the English in us? Irish surname aside my family background includes English and Scottish connections.

True, I once enjoyed coffee. So much so that I was overdoing it and the caffeine eventually caught up with me. An episode of atrial ¿brillation a few years ago led to a decision to swear off my daily dose of “Joe.” I switched strictly to tea as my daily comfort libation.

Some people question my decision when coffee versus tea becomes a topic of discussion. After all tea leaves contain far more caffeine than coffee beans. The difference is that you can brew many more cups of tea from an ounce of leaves than you can from an ounce of coffee.

So unless you drink tea by the gallon, on average you will ingest much less caffeine by switching to tea.

As regular readers know my wife and I love to travel.

Most of our overseas trips have focused on the United Kingdom where we have many friends and family.

One of the most civilized things about Great Britain is the tea. First of all it is the national drink and I

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

have never had better anywhere. The tea in England, Scotland, Wales and, yes, Ireland, is the best of the best!

When you sit down in a restaurant or café in Britain and say “tea for two” you are rarely disappointed (Kathleen enjoys tea even more than I do).

In the U.K. your waitress or waiter always knows what you want. Traditional English tea served in an appropriate vessel, poured into stylish cups. It nearly always comes perfectly brewed, piping hot and in prodigious quantity. The scones, clotted cream and jam complete a perfect “cream tea.”

Our regular travel companions are Carleton Place friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc. This past summer we were in Scotland and England. Wendy and Frank love their morning coffee.

But Wendy readily admits that in Britain she could easily become hooked on the tea. “It is so good there.

I really enjoy it,” she says.

The four of us recently spent a week in Vermont, another favourite destination. We toured the picturesque state and part of neighbouring New Hampshire in ideal weather conditions. We enjoyed driving through the Green and White Mountain ranges and we added some more of Vermont’s classic covered bridges to our lists. It was a perfect fall holiday.

Well, except for one thing. The tea – it was truly terrible!

Have you ever been able to ¿nd a decent cup of tea in the United States? Okay, on occasion we have found an acceptable or even superior pot of tea south of the border. But believe me they are few and far between.

In some cases if you ask for tea the server will return with a pitcher of iced tea, or worse still, iced tea in a plastic bottle.

We long ago learned to ask for “hot tea”. Usually the server looks at you

cross-eyed, no doubt thinking about the extra work it will take to scrounge up the ingredients.

“Why aren’t these idiots drinking coffee!” It’s written all over their faces.

Pitiful When your order arrives the water is usually in a tiny metal pot that holds a pitiful amount of tepid (not boiled) water. Most of the liquid ends up on the table when you try to pour it into the standard (coffee) mug provided. The tea bag, in a pouch, is usually the same dreary brand. Even if the water is hot and you beat the bag to death for 10 minutes the result is something wholly unpalatable. Milk is rarely provided. By the time you request some and it arrives you might as well have a glass of milk. The tea you pour it into is as icy as a fresh glass of milk should be.

On Dec. 16, 1773 some Boston residents rebelled against the tea tax policy of the then British government by holding the now famous “Boston Tea Party.” The colonists objected to the Tea Act because they believed it violated their rights to “no taxation without representation.” The American colonies were not represented in the British Parliament.

to gales of laughter (people at neighbouring tables must have wondered if we were mad) when Kathy’s request for “boiling water” resulted in a pot containing liquid even icier than the ¿rst lot.

Despite the fact we clearly had our own tea bags, they insisted on bringing us a container with various types of tea.

There was everything imaginable. Green tea, white tea, mint tea, decaffeinated tea, Oolong tea, Earl Grey tea – you name it. Everything but English breakfast, our tea of choice.

Take my advice. If you are as desperate for a decent cup of tea as we are in the morning, consider special measures when traveling to the U.S. of A. Bring your own tea bags, take a kettle and boil your own water and just for good measure purchase some milk. Bring it all with you to the breakfast table. Surely your eating establishment of choice can provide a decent cup to brew it in? But don’t count on that either.

When it comes to hot tea, our American friends have a lot to learn!

From the BEST WESTERN PLUS Perth Parkside Inn & Spa

Angered by the policy those involved boarded three ships loaded with tea and tossed the contents into Boston Harbour. The Boston Tea Party helped spark the American Revolution.

In my opinion tea drinkers in the U.S. are still feeling the effects of that act of de¿ance today. In fact the tea we had during our recent Vermont, New Hampshire vacation tasted like it came from the bottom of Boston Harbour.

Wendy urged me to write this column after witnessing our tea induced agonies every morning at breakfast in Vermont.

We usually bring our own tea bags from home and order hot water and milk to brew our own. Neither “hot” water nor milk ever arrived in concert.

We stay at a ¿rst-rate inn.

The food is excellent and the service more than adequate.

But like most American eateries they simply don’t relate to “hot tea.” Ask for a pot of coffee and you are rarely disappointed. Order tea and what arrives is almost certain to leave you scratching your head.

By Day 3 of this latest trip the “tea de¿ciencies” had become a standing joke at breakfast. We were reduced

Lanark woman convicted of 2010 murder Inside Lucie Paquette sentenced to seven years in prison

By NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Drummond/North Elmsley Township is gearing up for its election.

— Page P6

EMC News - A Lanark woman has been found guilty of manslaughter nearly two years after her common-law husband was found dead from a gunshot wound.

Lucie Paquette, 49, was originally charged with ¿rst degree murder in the death of Gerry Madaire, who was 46 years old. The couple lived together on Montgomery Road, near the village of Lanark.

Paquette pleaded guilty to manslaughter on Nov. 7 and was sentenced to seven years in prison in addition to the two years already served in custody.

Details from Paquette’s bail hearing at the Perth Courthouse were under a publication ban until sentence was handed down. The court heard that on Nov. 15, 2010, Paquette shot Madaire as he sat in front of a computer in the couple’s home.

During the initial bail hearing on Dec. 23, 2010, the Crown attorney and an OPP detective described a horri¿c crime scene and said Paquette appeared to be in shock.

911 CALL The court heard a recording of a 911 call made

by Paquette at 7:13 p.m. on the night of Madaire’s death. Paquette was in the courtroom as the tape was played and spent much of the time quietly crying.

There is a new limo service in Lanark County.

— Page P18

The Perth Blue Wings are at the top of their game.

— Page P21

Following is an edited transcript of the taped phone call: Dispatcher: What happened?

Paquette: I don’t know. I don’t know why I did this. (Screaming). I don’t understand.

Dispatcher: What’s going on?

Paquette: Sobbing. I don’t know. I’m so mixed up.

I don’t know what I did … what did I do? Screaming.

Dispatcher: Did you hurt someone else?

Paquette: Gerry’s hurt.

Dispatcher: Who is Gerry?

Paquette: He is my angel.

Dispatcher: Did Gerry pass away?

Paquette: Calls to Gerry to take phone. He’s not answering. Calls him again. Calls him “my love” in French. I hear footsteps.

The Crown attorney noted that as Paquette was calling out to Madaire, Madaire was deceased in a room down the hall with a severe gunshot wound to the head.

The Crown summarized the 911 call, saying it revealed a hysterical individual that “sometimes sounds like a little girl talking.”

The ¿rst OPP of¿cer on scene found Paquette with the telephone in her hands and the 911 operator on the line.

Paquette’s defence counsel, Mark Wallace, later told the court that before the OPP of¿cer hung up on the 911 dispatcher, he told the dispatcher that Paquette appeared to be in shock or to have some sort

ANGELS AMONG US

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Perth Mayor John Fenik feels there may yet be hope for Lanark County Interval House’s funding woes.

On Oct. 10, the county council’s Community Services Committee requested that Interval House’s funding request for sustainable funding be included in the 2013 budget process, but the request was then defeated by a single vote on Oct. 24.

“If they (county council) cannot see that this is a good group to support then we have lost our way,” said Fenik.

Other members of council voiced their frustration at the situation for the emergency home for abused women and their children.

“If every level refers them on to the next level (of government or bureaucracy) that could be time that could be spent with clients.

“I don’t want it to be forever postponed,” said Coun. Beth Peterkin during the Perth town council committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Interval House faces a de¿cit of $59,000 following the ending of programming money from the provincial government.

Paquette receives five years Dewey receives certificate in prison for murder from Governor General Inspector celebrates 30 years of police work

From page P1

DETECTIVES The Crown noted a number of instances when Paquette indicated to police that Madaire was still alive.

During an interview later that night, one detective mentioned Madaire was dead, but Paquette didn’t seem to understand, saying, “If you give me a phone I can call him,”

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Inspector Glen Dewey was honoured for 30 years of police work at town hall last week.

“We’re here for Glen’s proud milestone, 30 years of loyal service to law enforcement in Canada,” said Dewey’s boss, Perth Police Service Chief Pat Capello, during a special ceremony in the middle of the police services board meeting on Thursday, Nov. 8 in the town hall council chambers. “Glen has many accomplishments and is a true supporter of community policing in Perth.”

In his role as inspector, Capello explained, Dewey plans, coordinates and directs daily operations with his fellow of¿cers, as well as setting goals, standards, values and ethics at the station.

Born in Forest, Ont., near Sarnia, Dewey studied law and security at Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough. He joined the Lanark County OPP detachment in Perth on June 7, 1982, before being transferred to Elliot Lake, Ont., in January of 1988. However, northern living proved not to be to the Dewey family’s liking so they returned to Perth, and the Perth Police Service, with Dewey

and later, “He’s going to come and get me.”

In an interview with another OPP detective in the following days, Paquette said she remembered Madaire was sitting at the computer and that they were a perfect couple.

The detective testi¿ed that Paquette’s statements were not completely logical: “She thinks she shot him, but it

was not her intention,” and, “She doesn’t know why she shot him. She doesn’t want to shoot him; she loves him too much.”

Wallace said he agreed with the content of evidence presented during the bail hearing and agreed there were suf¿cient reasonable grounds that the accused was responsible.

Insp. Glen Dewey taking up new duties on April 26. He was promoted to sergeant on May 10, 2004, and inspector March 14, 2010.

“I’d like to thank his family,” said Capello. “You obviously must be very proud.”

His wife Bev, and son Ryan were in attendance. His other son Derek was unable to attend.

It doesn’t seem like 30 years for Dewey.

“Thirty years has Àown by very quickly,” said Dewey. “I remember the 15-year mark and people said ‘Oh, you’re over the hump now.’”

Dewey said he was glad

From page P1

that he was able to spend so much of his policing career in Lanark County.

“The Town of Perth has treated me well,” said Dewey.

“If you treat the people fairly, they will treat you fairly.”

Dewey leaves his post just as the Perth Police Service is being wound down, and the OPP is poised to take over policing duties in the town in the new year.

Dewey was presented with a special certi¿cate commemorating and honouring his three decades of service from Governor General David Johnston.

The house has been asking for $5,000 from larger municipalities like Perth and Carleton Place, and $3,000 from smaller areas like Tay Valley and Montague Township, to partially bridge the gap. In the past few months, many councils have told Interval House that the issue should be taken up with the county council ¿rst. After their presentation to Perth town council earlier this year, Fenik told Interval House that if they were not successful at county council,

that they were welcome to return to Perth council.

“It seems to me that it is the disadvantaged groups (that) are passed aside the easiest,” said Fenik. “It was tabled that the county fund this (Interval House). Then there was a motion for it to go to the budget process.”

Fenik believes that the reasons behind this are because of a hard line being taken at county council, that “we (county council) are no longer going to grant any of these groups (money),” said Fenik. “(But) I am thinking there

may be some hope. It is not a done deal yet. We may have another kick at the can.”

Fenik added he does not like what he sees going on at the county council chambers on Sunset Boulevard.

“County council (is) marching down a very dark road,” said Fenik. “I am feeling that county council is fractured… that is now how county council should work. (It is) a very fractured, divisive council.

That is not a good council to be on.” He added that elections for a warden will be held in December.

OCHU boss alleges one site will likely shut down with continued cuts

Unions urge communities to voice opposition to hospital cuts desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News - Unionized staff at the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital are asking those who use the health care facility to add their voices of discontent over the announced budget cuts and their impact to local services.

Members of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) will be meeting with the area health coalition Saturday to see if they can set up public meetings in Perth and Smiths Falls as early as December.

The purpose of the meetings will be to inform the public of the issues and why they should be pushing the provincial government to return some of the health care premium funds back to the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.

"We know they can Âżnd millions of dollars for Smiths Falls and Perth," said Michael Hurley, OCHU president.

Hurley points to Cornwall which recently received an additional $5 million when its residents reacted to the planned cuts to their service.

The same is true in St. Catharines where $12 million was found and in Sudbury where

an additional $8 million was provided to help balance the budget and maintain services.

Residents are being encouraged to let their thoughts be known to the political system and urge all political parties to clarify their position on the cuts to health care.

Ontario hospitals have been under the gun these last 20 years. In this time the local hospital has lost 44 per cent of beds.

"You used to have a lot more beds in Perth and Smiths Falls than you do know," Hurley said.

This past March the government released its budget and austerity cuts that asked all hospitals to balance their books without exception.

Early this October the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital announced it would be making a six per cent cut in every department to bring its budget in line with provincial requirements. Recently, the closure of 12 beds (six in Smiths Falls and six in Perth) was made public.

"We don't feel that the hospital will be able to meet the needs," Hurley added of the pressure the government is placing on hospitals. "It's got nothing to do with need, it's just got to do with saving

money."

Linda Bisonette, interim president and CEO at the hospital conÂżrmed that the budget cuts the hospital is making now should allow the hospital to continue until 2014-15 but after that there is no guarantee that further cuts won't be needed.

"We will certainly have to examine everything," Bisonette said.

Budget allotment is given to executive staff at the hospital one year at a time, but Bisonette said they aren't expecting the provincial government to provide any funding increases in the foreseeable future.

What is expected is a change to the way rural hospitals receive their funding from a system where a pot of money was provided with the local boards deciding on its allocation, to a system where funds will be speciÂżcally earmarked for identiÂżed services based on expectations of care needs the government determines for the area.

from the hospital into the community came out as a key part of the LHIN survey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Services could change dramatically as we move ahead,â&#x20AC;? said Georgina Thompson, then board chair for the South East LHIN during an interview with the newspaper last year.

At that time the LHIN was looking at allowing the patient to decide whether they wanted to wait for service locally or travel to a hospital in the region for an earlier appointment.

Hurley is concerned this approach is a slippery slope and could sound the death knell for rural hospitals in the future.

For this reason the public's voice needs to be heard.

Hurley asks anyone who can't attend the upcoming public meetings to write to MPP Randy Hillier (105 Dufferin St., Unit 1, Perth, Ont., K7H 3A5) and express oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts. The unions are also planning a postcard

and door-to-door canvassing campaign in both towns.

IN PERTH Later that same day, Hurley was joined by John Jackson, president of CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) local 2119 and Herve Cavanagh, president of OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union) local 466, at another press conference at the Perth and Union District Library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept the logic that these services are superĂ&#x20AC;uous,â&#x20AC;? said Hurley.

From Hurleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view, these cuts are not limited to this year and next and will likely continue on until about 2017, which could undermine the viability of one of the hospital sites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They look at the proximity of these two hospitals and they say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need two hospitals.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about money,â&#x20AC;? said Hurley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be revisiting this every year.â&#x20AC;?

The hospital submitted its 2013 budget to the province Oct. 29 and is hopeful it will like the measures the hospital has put in place.

With an uncertain future before it, Bisonette said she is conÂżdent the hospital's core role of providing acute care service to the region won't be altered.

Hurley isn't as conÂżdent and fears for the future of the small town hospital.

"To lose six beds on a surgical unit in a community like this I think is a red Ă&#x20AC;ag," Hurley added. "The magnitude of downsizing in Smiths Falls worries me."

Before the six bed cuts, Smiths Falls had a total of 44 beds for its surgical, ICU and maternity wards while Perth had 56 for surgical, third Ă&#x20AC;oor care and ICU.

Hospital cuts may see one of the two hospital sites close, unions say From page P4

About 15 years ago, there was a similar discussion about closing down one of the two hospital sites.

“They didn’t want you to have two hospitals,” said Hurley, noting their geographic closeness, and the drive to Kingston or Ottawa. “(But) the community stood up.”

While the plan was dropped, it was not thrown out, but still remains on the government’s back burner, according to Hurley.

“I don’t think the plan has changed,” said Hurley. “They look at the map and see that you have one hospital too many. The community is being set up for the eventual closure of one of these sites.

That’s my belief. The viability of a two-site hospital will be imperiled.”

However, Hurley said he would not hazard a guess as to which site, Smiths Falls or Perth, the government favoured shutting down.

In a presentation to Perth town council in October, Bisonette said that while early retirement and voluntary redundancy packages were being offered, she did not believe that there would be layoffs, something Jackson simply does not believe.

“We’re not sure if layoff notices will go out,” said Jackson. “I’m not sure how they can say this.”

“Layoffs are entirely likely,” added Hurley. “The people who are left will be picking up all the work.”

Also, with six beds set to close at both sites, if looked at proportionately, according to Hurley, it would be the equivalent 1,000-bed city hospital, cutting 120 beds.

“I think you’d see the community in uproar,” said Hurley. “We haven’t seen cuts of

this magnitude in the life of this government. It’s a very signi¿cant proportion of the beds and you are not seeing cuts of that magnitude – we’re not.”

In her speech to council, Bisonette noted that modern hospitals needed less beds because some patients were there simply waiting for a spot to open up at a nursing or retirement home, and that they would free up a bed, while availing of home care.

“I don’t think the plan has changed.

They look at the map and see that you have one hospital too many.

The community is being set up for the eventual closure of one of these sites.

That’s my belief.”

MICHAEL HURLEY OCHU PRESIDENT

“The people in the beds they are closing would not be able to recover at home,” said Hurley.

Even though the provincial government announced $20 million more for home care support in the March budget, Hurley pointed out that “to get into and stay in acute care, you have to be quite ill. The home care system is a sham, really. If you disclose that you have any family, you won’t get it.”

While there is a 14-hour limit on how much any one patient can get of home care, that is often limited to one hour per house visit, a half hour for an apartment visit.

“Good luck (even) getting three hours,” charged Hurley, adding that the home care

industry has a high turnover rate. “The thing is a myth.

It’s impossible to get. I don’t believe that that is a credible position to take. These are apples to oranges.”

Cavanagh, who works as a physiotherapist at both hospital sites, said that in reading The Perth Courier/Smiths Falls Record News EMC story on Bisonette’s presentation to council, “I’m questioning some of the statements in this article.”

He noted that it was indeed rare, for example, for a recovering physiotherapy patient to be back up on their feet and out the door within two days.

Cavanagh also stated that Robert Devitt, the Toronto hospital CEO who led the peer review, never met with him as a union of¿cial.

“Halfway through July I said, ‘When are we going to meet this guy?’” asked Cavanagh. “I didn’t have any say.”

Ultimately, no meeting was forthcoming, and the unions were not consulted, and did not acquiesce, to management’s plans. Even though the redundancies are being painted as “voluntary exits,” Cavanagh pointed out that, either way, “you’re getting a reduction in staff,” because those positions are not being replaced. In his own department, Cavanagh said he is seeing a reduction of 3.1 staffers, with more than 100 plus patients on the waiting list.

In an interview with the Smiths Falls Record News, Bisonette said that she wished that the union had approached her with their concerns before holding the press conferences earlier this week.

“It would’ve been more appropriate to have had those discussions before the decisions were made,” retorted Cavanagh.

By-election debate sets one-word challenges from voters

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – They agreed.

They disagreed.

And they agreed to disagree on a whole range of issues from the use of ATVs on municipal roads, to roads themselves, the future of the rural elementary schools to climate change.

The three candidates seeking to ¿ll the North Elmsley ward seat are Russell Foster, Peter Wagland and Ted Letts.

Wagland is the former CAO of Lanark County, and Foster has already served on council for ¿ve terms, for 16 years, until he lost to Charlotte Reed by 40 votes in the Oct. 25, 2010 municipal election.

The seat was left vacant on Drummond/North Elmsley Township council by Reed, who resigned on July 31. She died on Aug. 19 after a short battle with cancer.

With such a wide range of topics, there was bound to be some common ground amongst the three men, and they found it on the issue of ATVs. When asked, yes or no, if they approved of allowing ATVs to use municipal roads, Letts said “Yes. I have no problem. It promotes tourism.”

“My answer would be ‘yes’,” said Foster. “It’s all right to have them on the gravel roads, where people are hunting. If you’re going to have them on the paved roads, we need to pave the shoulders.”

“Let’s make it unanimous: Yes!” said Wagland with a laugh, before adding that “I think the shoulders should be paved for bikes on country roads.”

The candidates: left to right, Russell Foster, Ted Letts and Peter Wagland.

The debate, sponsored by the Otty Lake residents association, was held in the Drummond/North Elmsley Township council chambers at the municipal of¿ces in Port Elmsley on Thursday, Nov. 8.

Continuing on with the one-word answer request from another voter, the men were asked to describe the township’s roads, and how they would ¿x them, in one word.

On this, the trio had vastly different answers.

“There is only one word: ditches,” said Foster. “There need to be more ditches.”

Growing up in Dalhousie Township in the 1940s, and later moving to Bathurst Township in the 1950s, “in the spring of the year, they were out ditching… ditching is the only word you can use.”

For Wagland, the only word was maintenance, but for Letts it was asphalt.

“I believe (in) asphalt,” said Letts. “It will pay back considerably.”

Letts went on to call surface treatment “a disaster. It’s not cheaper.”

One of the lighter moments of the evening then came when Foster stood up after Letts’ answers and said “What do they do before they pave?

They build ditches!”

Wagland went one step fur-

ther, saying “before they do the asphalt, before they do the ditching, they need money!”

On a more serious matter, budget issues again came to the forefront, and economic problems beyond the township’s borders weighed heavily on the minds of the candidates.

“The Americans, their budget is in trouble,” said Letts.

“The Europeans, they are in trouble, and I think we will see it start to slow down (here)… long term goals may go by the wayside,” and lead to leaner budgets.

“We’ve got to have growth to pay the bills,” added Letts.

Problems at Queen’s Park might also cloud the budget picture in DNE for Wagland.

“Premier McGuinty has prorogued the legislature,” said Wagland. “There will be an election this spring. It could mean a change in government.

It could mean another minority… It’s still going to lead to less money (since) the federal and provincial governments are cutting back on funding to municipalities.”

As for taxes, Wagland noted that “people are on ¿xed incomes. They don’t want to see taxes go up. It’s almost impossible to stop them. But you can control them.”

Foster noted that the town-

Make sure you’re on the map!

ship needs to plan for more subdivisions because, with the four-lane creation of Highway 7, “the population will end up here.” In his electioneering travels, Foster has met a lot of young, married couples with small children, and seniors.

“We need to take that into account,” said Foster.

This by-election was called under sad circumstances, but voters wondered how long it would take any of the three men running to get caught up to date with the goings-on at council, like a kid entering a new class at half-term.

“The ¿rst year you will be playing catch-up, it’d be fair to say,” said Letts. “Some of it you will get caught up with quickly.”

Foster said that when he was ¿rst elected to council, “I knew it would take me at least a year.” Even up until the end of his last stint on council, “I was still learning. Every day you are always learning.”

Wagland said that before he had even put his name forward for consideration, he made to sure to attend all of the council meetings, something he has done in September, October and so far this month.

“I’m still current,” he said.

“I’m only out of the loops for two months,” he said, referring to his retirement from Lanark County this past summer.

“I am up to speed as much as I can be.”

Another question was asked about possibly sharing resources with other municipalities.

“There is certainly staff that you cannot share with others, and certain staff you can share,” said Foster.

For Letts, the answer to

urban and rural beliefs clashing, with people complaining about what they see as insuf¿cient regulation of land, and what others see as far too much regulation of private property.

“The government has to have a little hand in what is being said around the lake and in the rural areas,” said Foster.

“Nobody likes rules,” said Wagland. “There does not seem to be a lot of Àexibility… (with some provincial mandates) but that is where we have to push them (the province.) We need to push the province so that we can see local solutions. Let’s get Queen’s Park to listen to us.”

Letts stated that he agreed with the need for government regulations of waterways and their banks, but “I have some concerns though when they say they want to control the country. I think we are a little over-controlled. They need to back off. I think by allowing the cities to come out here and tell us what to do is, I think, ridiculous.”

Voter Joanne Probert asked the candidates why DNE is “one of the stingiest recycling programs around,” claiming that her garbage men will pick up paper and cans no problem, but that almost anything else plastic usually does not pass muster with the dump truck driver.

“So, gentlemen, what are we doing to do about the recycling problem? Because I like to recycle,” said Probert.

“That, madam, is a question that has been asked by many people I have talked

¿nding savings through sharing might be realized through “bulk buying. There is savings in that,” though he noted that sharing, say, snow plows might not work since it would delay further the times people have to wait to get plowed out.

“Everybody wants their roads plowed ¿rst, and to dickens with the rest,” said Letts.

“Sharing of the staff, that can be done, in certain ways,” said Wagland. As for joint tendering, “we can do it if we partner with big brother (Lanark County council.)”

With county tenders going out in January, Wagland pointed out that that was all the more reason to have the DNE budget process wrapped up by December.

“The better the (joint tendering) package, the better the opportunity to save,” said Wagland. “Some municipalities are reluctant to share with big brother because that it uncomfortable.”

On the issue of private roads, Foster put forward an interesting spin on the notion of public-private partnerships.

“Each individual private road needs to form an association so they can work to upgrade the road,” and then, in time, “the municipality can take it over,” but Letts took exception to this. While Letts liked the idea of the associations, in terms of bringing the roads up to standards – and exactly whose standards – “that might be cost prohibitive for the township to take it over.”

Another question struck at the very heart of the ongoing debate in the province of

to,” said Foster. “In all other areas, they are taking many more recyclables away.”

His brother lives in Collingwood, Ont., on Georgian Bay, and it is not unusual for his sibling to throw out tissues in the recycling, amounting to one-and-a-half pounds di-

verted from land¿ll. He got a laugh from the audience when he stated that his brother has yellow, blue, green, black and grey bins. “I too share your frustration,” said Wagland.

“The more we recycle, the more we save the waste site,” said Letts.

Declining enrolment at rural elementary schools had

Foster contemplating the possible amalgamation of the schools in Drummond Centre and Port Elmsley.

“If it came to it, that enrolment that was that low… we may have to amalgamate the two,” said Foster. “There is nothing more important than educating our young people.

Please, let’s keep a school in

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

our municipality.”

Letts, however, was not convinced that amalgamation would be helpful.

“Once you get down to that magic number once the school is considered no longer viable,” then that sets in motion a whole chain of events, including funding getting pulled from the province.

“Your kids would likely go to Smiths Falls,” rather than schools amalgamating, said Letts. “(But) I think we should be safe.”

“I know enrolment is a challenge but on the Àip side, how much are you willing to pay?” asked Wagland. “I am appalled at how long kids have to ride the school bus,” noting

that his grandchildren have to ride an hour, each way, to get to school.”

Could cuts mean the end of two-site hospital?

EMC Editorial – The worst is yet to come.

The Ontario Coalition of Hospital Unions (OCHU) was in Perth and Smiths Falls earlier this week, backed up by union locals from CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) and OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union), to warn that the cuts planned for both sites of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital are actually deeper than they appear on the surface, or than the hospital administration is making out.

Some of it appears to be a disagreement over semantics.

In a presentation to Perth town council, the hospital’s interim CEO, Linda Bisonette said there would be no layoffs necessary, only early retirement and voluntary exit packages.

The union appears to want to call these layoffs nonetheless.

The administration needs to do what it needs to do within the law, or face sanctions from the province. But the union’s point is well taken. Even with the voluntary exits those jobs are not being ¿lled, so we still have fewer people doing more work.

And, yes, the union wants to preserve the jobs of their members. That’s one of the main reasons for the very existence of unions.

There also appears to be a bit of a backand-forth, he-said, she-said playground mentality. The union claims it wasn’t consulted on the cutbacks.

Bisonette said she was slightly miffed at not being told in advance of the dual press conferences, to which the union countered that the time for talking was back when the cutback plan was being formulated.

One wonders if the time for talking has passed?

The unions will be going door-to-door canvassing, launching a postcard campaign, and holding public meetings to garner public support to secure more funding for the twinsite hospitals.

All one has to do is look at the major campaign launched in the east end of Ottawa in

the late 1990s to save the Montfort Hospital to see that public pressure is what politicians respond to. But what if, as economist Don Drummond and countless others tell us, is true? That the cupboard really is bare?

“We know they can ¿nd millions of dollars for Smiths Falls and Perth,” said OCHU president Michael Hurley.

But where? Any suggestions?

It may seem like a bit of saber rattling by the union, but there may be something to what Hurley said in Perth on Monday.

“The community is being set up for the eventual closure of one of these sites. That’s my belief,” said Hurley. “The viability of a two-site hospital will be imperiled,” with the cuts. “They look at the proximity of these two hospitals and they say, ‘You don’t need two hospitals.’ They didn’t want you to have two hospitals. They look at the map and see that you have one hospital too many.”

When pressed, however, as to which site the provincial government would prefer to make disappear, if they could simply wave a magic wand, Hurley refused to be drawn on the question. Which seems to undercut his argument somewhat.

But we need to remember that this is only the ¿rst year of belt tightening. Closing 12 beds and offering voluntary redundancies may be one thing now, for this year, but what about the cutbacks needed in the future, as Bisonette herself admits? Where does it end?

Lanark County has medical challenges that simply do not resonate with Toronto health bureaucrats. We’re not wallowing in abject poverty, but neither are you going to confuse us with Rockcliffe Park or Rosedale.

We have issues with rural poverty, lack of public transportation, and so on. And increased home care is simply not the answer to cutting acute care beds. Neither is hopping in a non-existent bus or car to Kingston or Ottawa an option for many either.

We need to stand up for our hospitals – both of them. We don’t believe that that (site closure) is what Bisonette wants, but, ultimately, it may be what the province wants, and she may have little choice in the matter.

Hairy lips for a good cause EMC Lifestyle - I am ¿nding it hard to take my husband seriously. I mean harder than usual.

See, he’s got this growth sprouting on his face and, well, at least it’s for a good cause!

Movember began in Australia and has become a global campaign to raise money and awareness for men’s health, particularly prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives.

The idea is to try to change established habits and attitudes men have pertaining to their health and to promote early detection, diagnosis and treatment.

In Canada, funds go towards programs run by Movember and Prostate Cancer Canada. Last year, more than 854,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas worldwide were involved and raised $125.7 million CAD. On November – I mean Movember – 1, fellas show up clean shaven, register at www.

Movember.com and spend the rest of the month growing and grooming a moustache.

For some guys the growing part is easier said than done, but it’s not a problem for Groom-boy. Within a week he already had a substantial caterpillar resting under his nose.

Now, the thing of it is, many of us girls are of the opinion that there are only a handful of men who can pull off a moustache.

Someone who springs to mind right off the bat is Tom Selleck. Whether he’s Magnum P.I. or Commissioner

Stephanie

GRAY

Past Deadline Regan, it would be just plain wrong for him to lose his moustache, in my opinion.

Jack Layton was another one. It was a trademark.

My Uncle Tom can do it, too.

When I was a kid he always had a moustache, complete with handlebars, but he opted to go clean-shaven several years ago and I still haven’t gotten used to it.

I think that’s the whole point – it’s what you’re used to. I mean, if Tom Selleck had become a superstar as a cleanshaven dude, I’d probably still watch Blue Bloods and sigh a little.

Can you even picture such notables as Freddie Mercury, Gandhi, Charlie Chaplin, Burt Reynolds, Sir Robert Borden or Albert Einstein without moustaches?

Just to shoot holes in the “what you’re used to” argument, though, my dad sported a moustache from the time I was born until after he retired.

Then one day several years back he shaved it off and, if I

remember correctly, he had to point out the fact it was gone.

Despite his white hair, his understated moustache had a tiny tinge of red in it and blended in with his skin tone, so its loss wasn’t dramatic.

With Groom-boy, though – yeesh! It’s dark and noticeable and I laugh every time I look at him.

He tells me that’s the whole point – that it’s supposed to be uncomfortable (he hates it) and funny looking so that it’s a sacri¿ce to a cause.

Groom-boy does not resemble Tom Selleck, so there is no watching and sighing.

(Sorry, dear.)

The kids are having a ball with it, and they keep running up to Daddy to feel his moustache. This is particularly irritating when we are all sitting together at suppertime and Daddy is trying to eat.

When we have a conversation, I have to look away in order to concentrate on what Groom-boy is saying. Possibly I will get used to the caterpillar and by the end of November I won’t even notice it, but I highly doubt it.

Fortunately, I don’t think I have to worry about it becoming a permanent facial feature, as it appears to be driving him batty.

It’s all for a very good cause, though, so keep ¿ghting the good hairy ¿ght, boys! If you want to learn more about Groom-boy and his Lee Valley Tools colleagues, check out the team at http://ca.movember.com/ team/449269.

Pornography is centre of white ribbon campaign

By SUSAN ROACH The Catholic Women’s League

EMC News - For a few days in late October a banner was hanging above Foster Street, causing a stir and giving rise to a variety of opinions on its message. That is just what it was meant to do – get people talking about the very serious issue of pornography in our society.

Be Aware - PORN HARMS is the slogan of this year's national “White Ribbon Against Pornography” campaign led on a local level by The Catholic Women's League and supported by the Perth Ministerial Association.

Be Aware - PORN HARMS is a campaign originating in the U.S.A. intended to raise awareness of the pervasive inÀuence that pornography has on individuals, families and society as a whole. Studies de¿nitively show that pornography links sex with violence and exploitation. It not only harms or involves children, it harms us all: those who produce it, those abused in its production, those attracted/addicted to it and their families, friends, and neighbours.

The campaign asks each of us to consider these questions: Why is pornography dangerous? Is pornography simply harmless entertainment? How does pornography affect me and my family?

In ¿nding answers to these questions we should look to the research done, learn the facts and then begin to have conversations about pornography, especially with our young people. The statistics are staggering. According to compiled numbers from accredited news and research organizations (Associated Press, BBC, New York Times, among others) every second 30,000 internet users are viewing pornography. In that same second 372 internet users are typing porn search items into search engines.

It is estimated that the average male adolescent spends 100 minutes every week sur¿ng for porn Every 39 minutes a new porn video is created in the United States. Pornography is big business. The pornography industry has larger revenues than Microsoft, Google, ebay, Amazon and NetÀix combined.

In 2006, worldwide pornography revenues ballooned to $97 million.

Current ¿gures in the U.S. are estimated to be well in excess of that amount. (see website www.pornharms.com) Today's pornography is being marketed as a natural pastime.

While the media industry and some advocates would have us believe porn is harmless, acceptable and natural, the reality is much different. The effects of pornography are progressive and addictive and silently, secretly destroy lives. Since the age of the internet, pornography has been consumed in greater quanti-

ties than ever before in human history, and its content has grown more graphic and violent. (Witherspoon Institute, Princeton NJ, 2008) A growing body of research strongly suggests that for some users porn can be psychologically addictive, and can negatively affect the quality of interpersonal relationships and the sexual health of the individual. (Witherspoon Institute, Princeton NJ, 2008) PORN HARMS! In a comprehensive study on the subject, Mary Anne Layden of the University of Pennsylvania concluded that, “Overall, the body of research on pornography reveals a number of negative attitudes and behaviours that are connected with its use. It functions as a teacher, a permission-giver, and a trigger of these negative behaviours and attitudes. The damage is seen in men, women, and children, and to both married and single adults.”

She further concludes that “there is evidence that the prevalence of pornography in the lives of many children and adolescents is far more signi¿cant than most adults realize, that pornography is deforming the healthy sexual development of these young viewers and that it is used to exploit children and adolescents”.(Social Costs of Pornography, Mary Anne Layden, PH.D. Univ. of Penn., 2010) Corrine Sweet, an eminent British psychologist and expert on pornography addiction, warns that “people who grow up on a diet of porn have more dif¿culty forming relationships.”

She states that “it doesn't teach you about emotions and love, and it desensitizes young people to violence and rape. Men and women are just seen as sex objects and body parts.”

Reports indicate that cell phones are currently the largest distributor of porn. Statistics show that an alarming number of teenage girls feel that they should imitate pornographic scenes they have seen on the web and a growing number of girls feel pressured into stripping online for their boyfriends. These images can be circulated via cell phones or online and can never be retrieved or destroyed.

Each one of us has the power to effect small changes that collectively can make a difference. We can boycott stores that make pornographic material freely available to young people or sell items whose intended market is young people. Take a careful look at the yearly Christmas catalogue produced by one of our country's largest retail stores to see how pornography can insidiously creep into our everyday lives.

Be brave and speak to the owner of a store that sells pornographic magazines, videos or video games expressing your objections. Join the mounting Campaign urging Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerman to stop allowing sexual predators to use this social media site as their own dark playground. The extent of

child pornography on Facebook is appalling. More concerning is the fact that this social media giant does not currently have a comprehensive or effective strategy to prevent or address crimes against children on this site.

Keeping children safe from sexual predators should be of primary concern for Facebook as a responsible, ethical and publicly traded company. Access www.stoppornonfacebook. com and make your voice heard. Write to your Federal Member of Parliament and demand that our government tighten the laws to prevent Internet Service Providers from distributing and presenting pornographic material on the web. Many of these sites portray real and appalling images of sexual exploitation of children and women.

The dramatic increase in pornography in today's culture is a serious and yet under-recognized one.

The campaign urges each of us to recognize and respond to the irrefutable evidence. To ignore the evidence is to do so to the detriment of the society it is shaping, not only for the adults among us but also for children, youth and all who desire to live in a world less glutted by pornography. Get the conversation started.

LETTER

Voice your concerns about our recreational fun To the Editor, I just wanted to respond to the Tay Valley trailer (article) in the Perth Courier recently.

Do you not think this is getting ridiculous? We pay taxes and work all our lives to own our properties and this is what we get. Soon we won't be allowed to park a boat, Seadoo, lawnmower or even our car in our own yard.

How can (the Tay Valley committee) choose our recreational fun?!

So Tay Valley residents, it is time we all started joining together and protesting these new laws before it is too late. We can stop this. Write letters and voice your concerns.

Settlements close for staff desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perth Mayor John Fenik is promising to have settlements in place with soon-to-be dismissed police staff by December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are intent on having negotiated settlements with everybody before the OCOPS hearing on Dec. 5,â&#x20AC;? said Fenik during the Perth police services board (PSB) meeting in the Perth council chambers on Thursday, Nov. 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started discussions with the chief (Pat Capello),â&#x20AC;? as well as with dispatchers and uniformed staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping to conclude it (the meetings) tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? Nov. 9.

The so-called Section 40 OCOPS (Ontario Commission on Police Services) will

be held at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5 at the Best Western Select hotel in Perth. Two days later, the Perth police services board will be touring the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lanark County detachment on Highway 7.

Chief Capello also informed the board that he has met with Bell Canada regarding the transfer not only of Âżre calls to the Lanark County Âżre dispatch centre in Smiths Falls in the new year, but also about transferring police calls to Smiths Falls as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we are looking at the police side of the (dispatch) service,â&#x20AC;? said Capello.

The composition of the Perth police services board may stay the same, but only if the PSB lobbies as such.

Insp. Gerry Salisbury, the

Lanark County OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detachment commander, reported that Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Âżve-member PSB â&#x20AC;&#x153;can remain the same,â&#x20AC;? but it will have to apply to keep it that way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually, for a town of this size, it (the PSB size) would normally be three members,â&#x20AC;? said Salisbury, though he noted that there were two other PSBs in Lanark County that also had Âżve members.

Salisbury also said he had dates in mind for the Perth ofÂżcers to receive OPP training, and other transition dates, but he would prefer to discuss them in camera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not at liberty to disclose that,â&#x20AC;? said Salisbury of the ongoing contract negotiations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mayor will be reporting on that in future.â&#x20AC;?

Assessments are in the mail

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Residential properties will likely see a 10.74 per cent increase in their MPAC assessments, which are due to arrive in area mailboxes starting next week.

Farm properties are also expected to rise 7.61 per cent, while commercial properties face an 8.21 per cent hike, and industrial lands a 6.32 per cent rise.

During a presentation to Tay Valley Township council earlier this month, Bev Disney, municipal relations representative with MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation) also revealed that single family detached homes would see an estimated average change of about 13.1 per cent. Single family homes

on the water will also see a 7.3 per cent rise, while seasonal properties on the water will see an 8.4 per cent rise.

The assessment notices for all 5,340 Tay Valley properties are due to arrive in mailboxes starting on Monday, Nov. 19.

All business assessments will be mailed at the same time, in late November.

Owners can always challenge the information presented online through aboutmyproperty.ca. They can send a request for reconsideration form in by the Âżling deadline of April 1, 2013. The informal process is free.

Disney was speaking at the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

A not-for-proÂżt, non-share capital corporation, MPAC

establishes current value assessments and classiÂżcations for all properties in Ontario.

Interestingly, MPAC is also responsible for the annual assessment role delivered to municipalities every December, as well as helping compile jury duty lists, population reports and preliminary lists of electors. It also has the largest assessment area of any jurisdiction in North America.

For more information on assessments, residents can go online to mpac.ca or fax 1-866-297-6703, phone 1-866-296-6722 or TTY at 1-877-TTY-6722. The local MPAC ofÂżce in Brockville will have extended ofÂżce hours from Nov. 19 to Dec. 14, to deal with the anticipated increase in queries and calls about assessments.

EMC News - Each year during the month of March food banks across Canada survey their participants and submit their monthly statistics to Food Banks Canada. The result is a snapshot of food bank usage in Canada called the Hunger Count.

This year the reports key Âżndings nation-wide showed that 882,188 people were helped by food banks in March 2012. This number is up 2.4 per cent from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Âżndings. While the slight increase may appear to be good news, the fact is that from 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2012 Canada saw an increase in food bank usage of 30.6 per cent and food banks are struggling to continue to support the large increase of people from past years. In fact the Hunger Count reports that 55 per cent of food banks were forced to give out less food to each household that came to them for help because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough and 14 per cent of food banks ran out of food at some point in the year.

of 154 per cent in new households, which equals 377 new families coming in for help.

When asked why the Good Food Bank is seeing such high numbers this year Quarrington noted several possible factors such as: our relocation to a more centrally located building, the increase in the cost of electricity, food, gas, and home heat and the number of other quality programs offered at the Centre that are bringing new people in for the Âżrst time.

food banks nation- wide in the month of March, 412,998 were in the province of Ontario. Food bank usage has increased 39.9 per cent in Ontario from 2002 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2012 with children making up 38 per cent of the population served.

The Good Food Bank coordinator Wendy Quarrington reports that while the Ontario numbers are close to the numbers nationwide, numbers locally at the Table CFC are much higher. During the month of March 2012 the Good Food Bank served 520 people, an 11.7 per cent increase from March 2011.

Quarrington reports the bigger picture is that the food bank has seen a 25 per cent increase in usage from 2011 to 2012. During the Âżrst nine months of 2011 the food bank served 1530 households and in the same frame in 2012, 1908 households were assisted. Perhaps the most staggering statistic is the number of new households visiting the Good Food Bank. In the Âżrst nine months of this year the food bank saw an increase

Society welcomes McKenty on Early Days at Christie Lake EMC News - The Perth Historical Society presents one of our areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite local historians, John McKenty, at our regular meeting on Nov. 21, 2012. McKenty will be speaking about his latest book Arden Blackburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mail Route: The Early Days at Christie Lake, which was published in September 2012.

Located 15 kilometres southwest of Perth, Christie Lake is the third largest lake in what is known as the Tay Watershed. Isolated from the town, but united by water, the early inhabitants at the lake were drawn into a community that transcended

politics, religion and sometimes, even family. Over the years, the community at Christie Lake demonstrated a ready willingness to help one another.

It was a bond born in nature and driven by necessity.

So it was that folks at the lake worked together, played together and often came together to celebrate the beauty that surrounded them. While families such as the Marks, the Noonans and the Jordans left an indelible mark on the lake, it was the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mailman, Arden Blackburn, who used the North Shore Road to weave an unmistakable thread

through this unlikely mix of permanent residents and summer vacationers.

John McKenty, born in Peterborough, received his B.A. and B.Ed. from Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University and his M.A. from the University of Western Ontario.

He and his wife Zeta currently live in Perth and have three children and four grandchildren. He retired as a high school principal in 2006 after more than 30 years as an educator.

McKenty takes an interest in the everyday parts and parcels of the everyday lives of ordinary people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; service sta-

tion operators, factory workers, mailmen. From McKenty, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the stuff of which legends are made, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stuff of which history is made.â&#x20AC;?

From his interest in these little bits, McKenty has previously written and published three books: Square Deal Garage: Sixty Years of Service to the Motoring Public; Follow the Crowd: The James Boys of Perth; and Canada Cycle & Motor: The CCM Story. His fourth book, noted above, is to be introduced to the Society at the coming meeting.

The Perth Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularizing our

history.

It is a forum for discussion and celebration of our rich area culture and heritage.

The meetings are open to the public, on the third Wednesday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. in the main Ă&#x20AC;oor gallery of Matheson House, home of the Perth Museum, at 11 Gore Street E. in Perth. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toonie Feeâ&#x20AC;? applies for each meeting.

Youngsters are elves for a day at Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Workshop ily members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set up a series of gift making stations, with supplies and a staff helper at each one,â&#x20AC;? says Kristen Widenmaier, owner and director of Maple Key Day Camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids get to go around to each one and learn unique crafts that can then be given as gifts.â&#x20AC;?

The elves are free to create

at their own speed, moving from station to station to create their special gifts.

The day is rounded out with a few holiday games, a pizza lunch, snacks, ornament craft, and of course a gift wrapping

and card making station.

What is an exciting day for the children is also great for parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the parents take this opportunity to go Christmas shopping while the kids are with us,â&#x20AC;? Widenmaier

says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;then they pick them up in time for the parade.â&#x20AC;?

Fire prevention winners escorted to McDonald’s via fire truck EMC News - The two local ¿re departments, Perth and Drummond North Elmsley Tay Valley Fire Rescue, partnered with McDonald’s Restaurant in Perth again this year in holding a Fire Prevention Week contest.

This is the sixth year for the contest which highlights the Fire Prevention Week theme and then offers prizes to three winners from each of the local schools in the ¿re departments coverage area.

McDonald’s Restaurant provided free meals for the ¿rst place winners and a guest who were picked up at their schools and driven to McDonald’s in a ¿re truck last Tuesday. The winners also receive a gift card valued at $75 for Canadian Tire or Home Hardware. The second and third place recipients also receive

gift cards worth $50 and $25 for their efforts.

The ¿re departments received a very good response to the contest again this year which stressed the importance of “Having 2 Ways Out” which was the theme for Fire Prevention Week.

The contest gets families thinking about their safety and involves the kids and parents to review a ¿re safety checklist. Early warning from a working smoke alarm, which are required on every level of your home, and an effective Home Escape Plan are crucial for surviving a ¿re in your home. If you have any questions pertaining to ¿re safety, contact your local ¿re department.

The winners from this year’s contest are as follows.

Queen Elizabeth School

– ¿rst, Leah Craig; second, Lacey Hamilton; third, Kaella McCracken The Stewart School – ¿rst, John Duncan; second Megan Purdy; third, Fisher Horn St. Johns School – ¿rst, Madison Davies; second, Maddy Ross; third, Kiara Roberts North Elmsley School– ¿rst, Taylor Oakes; second, Trevor Wren; third, Craig Robertson Drummond Central School – ¿rst, Chloe Tysick; second Abel Hollinger; third, Emma King Glen Tay Public School – ¿rst, Daniel Mols; second, Kohen Herns; third, Emma Brousseau

Perth offered a chance at reality TV stardom desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Don’t expect Perth Mayor John Fenik to be strapping on his dancing shoes to appear on Dancing with the Stars any time soon, but he does want Perth to have its own shot at reality TV fame.

“If you were doing a Canadian series of Dancing with the Stars, I would sign up,” said Fenik during the Perth

committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Vancouver-based production company Force Four Entertainment had approached Perth town council about the prospect of taking part in a Canada-wide reality series in which town councils would be shadowed by a group of citizens, with the un-electeds forming a mirror council of sorts, to see where they would

differ in their decisions from the elected body.

“I know it (the idea) tweaked Coun. (Jim) Boldt’s interest,” said Fenik. “It (the company) is a reputable company.”

The company has produced such Canadian reality hits as Cupcake Girls, The Batchelor Canada, Million Dollar Neighbourhood and other shows for HGTV, CityTV,

OWN, and the National Geographic Channel.

Fenik asked staff to get in contact with the company regarding the parameters of the show.

“If it gives a look at municipal government and gets citizens in these chairs (great),” said Fenik. “It would give us great exposure.”

“It certainly warrants study,” said Graff.

Stewart School welcomes Japanese exchange students

By DESMOND DEVOY

5.

“I hope I can be a good guest,” said another student, who then, like his fellow students did, in the good Japanese custom, bowed at the end of his remarks.

“I like dancing,” said a third girl, smiling shyly, dressed in her blue school uniform, with white trim. “Let us play dancing together.”

“We want to promote good relations between Canada and Japan,” said student Yuki Kawae. “We can make good memories together.”

EMC News – Let’s talk.

In fact, that was exactly why a group of Japanese teenagers from Asago Junior High School – Perth’s twin sister city – were embedded in classes at the Stewart School last week, mostly to brush up on their already impressive English skills.

“I can’t speak English very well, but I want to talk with you,” said one boy during the welcoming ceremony in the school gym on Monday, Nov.

While the students told their Canadian classmates that they liked Canadian cuisine, one youngster admitted that “I sometimes cannot understand your English. But I want to speak to you.”

The students themselves were set to act as teachers themselves in the classrooms, giving demonstrations on calligraphy, and how to properly use chopsticks.

Student Daiki Matsumoto played the traditional Japanese song “Sakura” on the

piano at the assembly, and the students were amazed to hear the tale of Paul McRae, the Japanese/English translator who, though born in Oakville, Ont., was raised in Japan and speaks perfect Japanese.

He now lives back in Canada but married a Japanese girl who, by coincidence, went to Asago Junior High. Both of his children were also born in Japan.

Asago Junior High School student Yuki Kawae reads a speech to the students of the Stewart School on Nov. 5, from a booklet adorned with the Canadian flag.

“Asago has a very special place in my heart,” said McRae.

Community association expanding programs, reaching out

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – The Althorpe-Bolingbroke Community Association (ABCA) will be holding an open house on Saturday, Nov. 24 from 2 to 4 p.m. to welcome the community to its hall, and revitalize interest.

The hall’s diner’s club will be in attendance, with entertainment for children, yoga demonstrations and, reportedly, a visit from Santa Claus.

The open house is part of an ongoing effort to revitalize the hall, which has gone through a lot in the last several rebuilding years.

“We are not there yet,” said Martin Yates, president of the Althorpe-Bolingbroke Community Association. “It was supposed to take about one year. It took two…(But) we are serving the community and we are not just a club serving the hall,” said Yates, during the Tay Valley Township committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

“Bottom line, we’ve made a good start, but we have many challenges ahead,” said Yates.

Never more does Yates want to hear this oft-heard comment:

“I’ve lived here 25 years and I never knew what went on here (at the hall). That’s the ¿rst time I went through those doors. We hope to hear that less and less.”

There were several problems facing the club in 2010, including: not being well known; declining demographics; little appetite for new initiatives amongst members; few volunteers for leadership roles; dwindling membership and burnout.

“We had to make some changes or the club would likely close,” said Yates bluntly. So, the decision making process was decentralized, and new members were brought on board, with an eye towards expanding a new range of activities. Progress was made between 2011-12, with existing members hanging on to offer guidance.

“The board now has two committees and a board of directors, with improved wordof-mouth publicity and an active rentals program at the hall. The association will also be launching new surveys and conducting interviews to identify community needs.

R0011739995_1115

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT MEETING

“Rentals have doubled in the last two years,” Yates said proudly, with membership having doubled to 28 in the last two months.

Yates admitted that families with young children had been neglected service and programming wise in years past.

“We know children are there. We see the school buses,” he joked. “We are reaching out to parents.”

One such youth programming change has been a religious program for youth every Saturday afternoon, as well as a welcome program for new residents to the area.

Even before a single survey or interview question has been asked though, Yates has already heard an earful from the community about what they did not like at the old hall.

“The dancers were too loud, it was too crowded and people didn’t like country and western music,” said Yates.

Sadly, as the hall has grown more popular, some former tenants have had to move on to accommodate the growth, such as Victoria’s Quilts, which has since moved to Perth.

“They became too successful,” he quipped. “They had a waiting list for people,” and

out into the wider community, and asked if they could contact him about a possible partnership of some sorts.

Yates replied with an emphatic yes.

“That’s the kind of activity that can be of help to everyone,” he said. “(ABCA has had) amazing strides to reorganize their community,” said Coun. RoxAnne Darling. “They’ve made great strides.”

“I’d like to applaud you all,” said Tay Valley Township Deputy Reeve Susan Freeman, who has lived in Bolingbroke for the past 18 years.

“It was a bit of a sad day for us,” said Yates. “They started in our hall.”

The hall costs the ABCA about $13,000 a year to run, and their ¿nancial targets for 2012-13 include entering into a “break-even” scenario.

Yates stressed that the hall was not competing with the township hall, “but we are offering the same rates.”

EMC News - Lanark Village was rocked with the sound of heavy artillery on Sunday, Nov. 11, during the Township of Lanark Highland’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

The source of the gun¿re was a Howitzer artillery weapon that has added excitement to Remembrance Day in Lanark since the ¿ring of a one-gun salute was ¿rst introduced in 2011, and is a tradition that is likely to continue into future years.

Members of the 42nd Field Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish) Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA) transported the military Howitzer to Lanark on Sunday in time for the Remembrance Day celebrations on Sunday. The 105 mm Howitzer was ¿red by former Lanark resident, Bombardier Shawna Storie, daughter of Lanark Legion President, Rodney Storie.

Following the ceremony, Storie and members of her regiment were on hand to an-

swer questions from curious onlookers about the weapon and how it operates.

The Howitzer, is a general purpose, vehicle towed, ¿eld artillery weapon that can be used for direct and indirect ¿re. One of the features of this weapon is that its muzzle can be elevated to reach targets otherwise hidden from Àat trajectory guns. Under normal circumstances it takes up to seven bombardiers to operate the weapon, although it can also be ¿red using fewer soldiers.

In addition to Storie, the Howitzer was operated by 42nd Field Regiment Bombardiers, Randall Kuehl and Candice Reid, from Pembroke, and 2nd RCHA Bombardier, Dylan Cameron, from Petawawa.

Former Lanark Village resident, Ernie Hall, was instrumental in partnering with the township for the Remembrance Day celebrations.

Hall, an Afghanistan veteran, was honoured in Lanark’s Afghanistan Veterans Apprecia-

tion ceremony in the summer of 2011, after serving an eight month tour in Afghanistan.

He serves as the Regimental Sergeant Major for the 42nd Field Regiment (Lanark and Scottish) Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA).

Hall explained it made sense to partner with Lanark for the ceremony, given his regiment’s history as the Lanark and Scottish Regiment, calling it a “quick marriage” between the two organizations.

As part of the celebration, Lanark Legion President, Rodney Storie, received an engraved shell from Bombardier Shawna Storie to commemorate the event.

Storie said that the ¿ring of the Howitzer and involvement from the military in the ceremony in Lanark is a partnership that is likely to continue into the future.

“It helps get people out for the program and increases attendance,” Storie explained, “It’s a relationship we plan on supporting.”

diers under dif¿cult circumstances in Afghanistan.

“Nick didn’t die for nothing,” said Lacroix ¿rmly.

“The video has to show that the Afghans were not alone.

We were there to assist them.

When I left, I felt a sense of accomplishment.”

One of the Afghan success stories he met was a 16-yearold boy who dreamed of being a police of¿cer. Thanks to a police academy which Canada helped found in Kandahar City, that young man was one day able to realize his dream and, after graduating, sought Lacroix out.

Before the arrival of western troops, the only education he got was through loudspeakers blasting religious propaganda, and the Taliban’s hard, intolerant take on Sharia law, which saw that “men run the show, women are second class.”

“You are now a certi¿ed policeman,” Lacroix told the young man. “Go out and bring the rule of law.”

Col. Roch Lacroix (retired), of the Royal Canadian Artillery, was the special guest speaker at the Remembrance Day ceremony at St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Friday, Nov. 8.

EMC News – The hundreds of female hands held high in the sky showed why we fought in Afghanistan.

“Young ladies, raise your hands,” said Col. Roch Lacroix (retired), of the Royal Canadian Artillery, as hands warily, then steadily, went up around the gymnasium of St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Friday, Nov. 9.

“Imagine that you are not allowed to go to school, have an education, voice an opinion, (send a) text. You look at a young man the wrong way. Imagine being executed for that? That’s what the Taliban did.”

Lacroix was on hand as the guest speaker at the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony, and he set the scene for the students as to what the situation on the ground looked like when he arrived in Kandahar province in 2009.

“Imagine a country that has been at war for (several) decades,” said Lacroix.

“Imagine a bully comes into town. That was the Taliban (who) imposed their will, their brutality. They brainwashed, essentially, a whole generation.”

And it wasn’t just young women and girls who felt the Taliban’s wrath.

Lacroix then asked the

young men to raise their hands, and informed them that, under Taliban rule, and later as the Taliban launched a myriad of hellish insurgent attacks, young males their age were often recruited, “whether you liked it or not.

You had no choice,” even if it meant strapping a bomb onto one’s self, and detonating it in a crowded place, killing your brother and sister. If you refused, the rest of your family would be killed instead.

For Canadian and allied soldiers, this was the true face of war that they had been led into, even years after 9/11.

“That, ladies and gentlemen, was Afghanistan, when I got there,” said Lacroix.

During his time helping lead the troops, he saw 42 Canadian soldiers die, and 90 return home “maimed.”

One of those killed was Corp. Nicholas Bulger, 30, of Peterborough, Ont., of the 3rd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, who died on July 3, 2009, when an improvised explosive device blew up the vehicle he was driving in Afghanistan’s Zhari district.

He left behind a grieving wife and two daughters. A video was made for Bulger’s widow, which was shown at the assembly, of the good work done by Canada’s sol-

“Thank you,” the young man replied, not just for the congratulations, but also for Canada helping to set up a literacy program which helped him learn. Because of that program, “I can now read the Koran and what I hear (from the loudspeakers) is not what the Koran teaches. It (the Koran) is not one of suppression… it is one of caring, it is one of love.”

When Lacroix left, about two million students, many of them girls, had returned to class, and about 200 teachers had been trained.

Many of those classrooms were built thanks to Canadian aid.

“You should be proud what Canada did in Afghanistan,” said Lacroix. “Their efforts (of Canada’s 158 fallen) were not in vain.” He also predicted that, in time, “Afghanistan will be a wonderful place,” since, in its long and proud history, “it was an economic hub,” in the region.

The value of putting life into your mortgage insurance If you’re arranging a new mortgage or moving an existing one to a new lending institution, you will probably be offered mortgage insurance as part of the package. Protecting what is likely the largest investment you will ever make is always the right choice, but is the lender’s insurance offer the best choice for you?

You do have another option

Manage Your Money that will protect your family’s dream home and their finances should you die. That option: a personal life insurance policy that you arrange to suit your

unique needs. Let’s look at the differences between mortgage life insurance offered by most lending institutions and personal life insurance.

Lending Institution Mortgage Life Insurance

Personally Owned Life Insurance

Usually, non-convertible term life insurance with no cash value, no premium flexibility or ability to move to a permanent life insurance plan if your needs change.

You select the plan that meets your needs. If you decide to start with a term plan, you can convert it to a permanent plan at any time. This is especially important if your health changes because you can make the conversion without having to re-qualify medically.

Usually covers the exact amount of your mortgage.

Coverage decreases as mortgage is paid down and you have no coverage when it’s paid off.

You can determine the amount of coverage you need and it will not decrease as your mortgage amount does. This means there will additional funds available directly to your family at a time when it may be needed most.

Lender owns the policy. If you find a better mortgage rate elsewhere, you may have to re-qualify medically.

You own the policy and have the freedom to switch lenders without jeopardizing coverage.

Lender can change or cancel the policy at any time.

Your premiums and benefits are guaranteed for the life of the policy.

Your beneficiaries have no choice about how to use the funds – the lender automatically pays off the mortgage when you die.

Your beneficiaries can choose the funds as they wish – to pay off the mortgage and/or for other pressing financial reasons.

The cost per thousand dollars of coverage generally increases every year, while coverage decreases.

You choose the type of insurance and premiums that suit your needs a budget.

A personal life insurance plan gives you affordable, flexible coverage that you control and peace of mind knowing your home and family are protected come what may.

Even if you have obtained mortgage insurance from a bank or other lender, it is not too late to put personal life insurance into place. Ask for professional advisor

for an insurance needs analysis and discuss the right mortgage life protection, and other financial strategies, that work for you.

New limousine service rolls on in Lanark County ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News - Need a limo?

Well now you can call a company in Lanark County that provides limousine service.

Jeff Lally and his partner Wendy Munro opened their new business in Lanark recently and they are ready to offer a top-of-the line service for a competitive price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as expensive as what you would see in the city (Ottawa),â&#x20AC;? Lally said, as he chauffeured his partner and reporter for a quick trip around Perth last week.

The black, stretch Cadillac Deville seats six in the back â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two three-seaters face each other and can be used to shuttle people to and from weddings, birthdays, or even a girls night out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used it last week when some friends dressed in their wedding gowns for a night on the town,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

He is now booking for Christmas holidays as he has two drivers who are on duty seven days a week: Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Amanda Sullivan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our chauffeurs have extensive driving experience with excellent driving records allowing you to rest assured that you and your

guests will have a safe and enjoyable experience,â&#x20AC;? their website (www.laspaandlimo. com) notes.

This new limo service complements Munroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already existing LA Spa Works, also located in Lanark. The business is now called LA Spa and Limousine Service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited to be able to offer our clients many services,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love to be able expand our limo service and maybe someday weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a Ă&#x20AC;eet.â&#x20AC;?

For transportation to and from the airport, or to Ottawa for a romantic get-away, the LA Spa and Limousine Service is equipped with a state-of-the-art stereo with Bluetooth capability enabling passengers to sync to their MP3 players or iPods.

Lolly says he wanted to be able to ofÂżce this service in Lanark County as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tourism destination. Many people are coming into the area via plane or bus tours, and to be able to offer a limo service has been a dream come true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will go as far as Ottawa or Montreal and even to Kingston,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or if you win the lottery and want to go to Toronto, we can make arrangements.â&#x20AC;?

For more information or to book a limo, call 6130259-LIMO (5466).

Jeff Lally and his partner Wendy Munro celebrate their new limo service in Lanark County. The coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new business is now booking for the holiday season.

PDCI boys earn second LCIAA championship

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC Sports - It’s twice as nice.

The Perth and District Collegiate Institute senior boys made it two in a row as they claimed the LCIAA volleyball championship last week with three straight wins over Notre Dame.

The Blue Devils had wins of 25-11, 25-21 and 25-12 to claim the cup for the second

year in a row and will make their way to St. Mary of Brockville Thursday, Nov. 15 for the EOSSAA championships.

Coach Donna Rumball said she was pleased with the team’s efforts.

“The win was a good one for the most part,” she said.

“The team played their game for the majority of the match but did falter a little in the second set. Service reception

passing still needs work. Our offense can do a lot more if the pass to the setter is there.”

Justin James led the team with six aces, eight kills and four stuffs followed by Eli Woods with two aces, seven kills and one stuff.

“They do have the ability and talent to win EOSSAA,” Rumball said.

“But the whole team will need to bring it, and play as a team, on that day.”

Blue Wings sitting on top after two-win weekend

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC Sports - The Perth Blue Wings have reason to celebrate this week as they pulled ahead of the pack to grasp ¿rst place in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Valley Division after a picture perfect weekend.

Friday at home, the Blue Wings pulled out a win against Stittsville, outdueling the Royals 6-4 after trailing by one at the end of the ¿rst.

Stittsville had the only goal of the ¿rst period, which was scored at the mid-way point with Kevin Groulx’s unassisted marker.

Austin Lamonte put the Wings back in the game early in the second when he scored from Brett Madigan and Riley Kane.

Stittsville took a momentary lead a minute later when Jordan Bosley scored.

Madigan, from Kane and Blair Barr, gave the Wings their legs with his goal at the 4:40 mark and from there, the boys never looked back.

Kane, from Tanner Knight and Shawn McGillivary, made it a 3-2 game ending the second period.

It was all Perth could do to keep the offensive attack in check from their opponents as an early penalty gave Stittsville the power-play opportunity to tie it once more when Alex Hulford scored.

With 15:24 showing, Kane, from Brad McDonald sunk the eventual winning goal.

Christian Beuti added the insurance at 7:28 when he

scored from Alex MacLean and McGillivary.

One last-ditch effort by Stittsville saw Michael DiBello score with less than two minutes remaining. Stittsville then pulled their goalie for one ¿nal attempt to tie the game, but McGillivary potted the empty-netter for the Perth win, 4-3. Jeremy Wright turned away 50 shots to earn the win in the crease.

Sunday on the road, it was a 4-1 win for the Blue Wings against the Shawville Pontiacs.

Knight opened the scoring late in the ¿rst period when he scored from McGillivary and Barr at 1:47. After a scoreless second period, Perth’s Barr let loose with two back-to-back goals – the ¿rst one assisted

by Mike Smyth and Madigan, and the second was an unassisted blast.

Dimillo added the team’s fourth marker with assists coming from Cody Nicoll and McGillivary with 14:44 left.

Tyler Charbonneau had the lone Pontiacs maker with 3:34 left in the game to spoil the shutout performance by Jason Shaw who had 50 saves in the win.

Coming up for the Blue Wings, Renfrew is in town Friday night for a 7:45 p.m. start, and Sunday the team is in Arnprior for a 7:30 puck drop. Perth has a 21-point total for ¿rst place on 10 wins and eight losses. They are just two ahead of Renfrew and Arnprior who have 19 points on 9-7 and 9-8 records respectively.

Perth’s Ted Ladelpha of P and P Archery shows students how to zone in on a target.

Lanark Highlands youth let fly with archery

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC Sports – If you wanted to see a room full of girls – and, yes, guys – striking poses like Jennifer Lawrence on the posters for The Hunger Games, Maple Grove Public School was the place to be last week.

The members of the Lanark Highlands Youth Centre descended on the school’s gymnasium on Thursday, Nov. 8 to take part in a special archery

demonstration class, led by Perth’s Ted Ladelpha of P and P Archery, as part of the club’s sports component.

“It’s you against yourself,” said Ladelpha.

“The more you practice, the better you get.”

Like golf, though, he admitted that there are good days and bad days with archery, but he is hoping for plenty of good days for his planned-for 3D archery club, to complement his 3D archery tourna-

ment, which raises funds for the Perth hospital.

“It’s not just a bunch of rednecks,” he joked, of people who use a bow and arrow to hunt.

According to youth centre worker Michelle Deforge, the kids are also learning zumba, jazz and hip hop dancing and karate come January.

Ladelpha said that the Tay Valley recreational group is looking at adding a six-week archery course to its roster.

THOMAS BURTON SAUNDERS August 10, 1947 – November 18, 2010 In loving memory of a dear husband, father, father-in-law and papa/grampa/papa Tom… We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new, We thought about you yesterday And days before that too.

We think of you in silence We often speak your name, Now all we have are memories And your picture in a frame.

Some may think you are forgotten Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us As you always were before.

A million times we’ve thought of you A million times we cried, If loving could have saved you You would have never died.

You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you You are always at our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone, Part of us went with you On the day God called you home.

Forgive us Lord, we’ll always weep For the man we loved, but could not keep.

Deeply missed and forever in our thoughts, Pat Tamara, Steven, Maddie and Nolan Nicole, Mike, Bree, Noah and Mikey Tavis, Natasha, Katelyn and Nevaeh Thomas and Erin Nahum Yvonne, Bill, William, Jordan, Josiah, Daniel and Amelia

LACKIE – In loving memory of our parents Reta, November 19, 2008 and Lorne, November 17, 2009.

We think of you in silence, No eyes can see us weep, But still within our aching hearts, Your memory we keep.

Lovingly remembered by Doris, Dianne, Tricia and Brian

FAIRCHILD, Verna – I have lost the woman of my dreams. My heart and my soul are broken and the emptiness that remains will take a lifetime to heal. Verna gave me more love and support than I could ever imagine throughout the thirty five years we were together. Through the good times and the bad, she never left my side. We were each other’s best friend and the only thing that could separate us was death. She gave me a daughter Kristie and a son Shannon, both of which I am so proud of. Their mother knows how much they loved her and how much they will miss her. A granddaughter Somer and a grandson Anrev on the way complete her circle of life. Verna was my soul mate and my reason for being. I will forever miss her until we are able to meet again someday.

Love Bob and family THE EMC - 52 - Thursday, November 15, 2012

CLEARY, Nancy – In loving memory of our beloved Mother & Wife who passed away 1 year ago on November 15, 2011.

The years may wipe out many things, But this they’ll wipe out never, The memory of those happy days, When we were all together.

We think of her in silence, Her name we oft recall, But there’s nothing left to answer, But her picture on the wall.

Just when her life was brightest, Just when her hopes were best, God called her from among us, To a home of eternal rest.

From your loving family, we continue on to honor your memory.

CAMPBELL – In loving memory of an amazing Dad, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa and Great-GreatGrandpa, Edwin John, May 27th, 1917 - November 17, 2011.

“Comforting words so like our Dad” Just because I no longer stand in front of your eyes, Doesn’t mean you can’t see me.

Close them, I am there.

Just because I no longer answer when you call my name, Doesn’t mean you can’t hear me.

Speak softly, listen carefully, there is my voice.

Just because I can no longer touch your hands, Doesn’t mean you can’t feel me.

Hold on to one another, my arms are there.

Just because I am no longer there to show you I love you, Doesn’t mean my love is gone.

Place your hand on your heart, feel its beat, I am there.

Know that I am with God. Know that God is with you.

And that we are still with each other.

We miss you Forever in our hearts, Your family

KOCIECKA, (Paula) Apolonia - May 22, 1920November 14, 2011.

My Rock My Mom Sometimes I catch myself thinking when I phone, “I can talk about this or that”!

Then remember I’m alone, She was always there to answer my callsTo listen to my “small talk” or when I didn’t feel like talking And somehow she understood. Didn’t say she wished I’d call or make me feel like I should.

Now, I wish I would have more times to show I cared, to say just how important you were all those times we shared.

Now it’s too late to do or say all those things I wish I had.

No way to ease the pain inside when my heart is sad.

She was my “anchor” to this life, The “rock” that I clung to, the place where I could turn when nowhere else would do.

Now the ravages of time have worn my “rock” away and all I have to cling to are memories of yesterday.

Always in our hearts Fern and Dale Cross, Hendrick and Tickey Kociecki, Irena Courville and families

STANLEY- In loving memory of a beautiful soul, Madeline Stanley, who passed away November 13th, 2001.

Always With You I shine down from Heaven.

Can you feel the love I’ve shown?

I am always walking with you.

You will never be alone.

I listen when you speak to me.

I hear every word you say.

And we will be together, When God says it’s ok.

I visit you in your sleep, You’ve seen me in your dreams.

Do you feel the love I’m sending you?

Can you hear me when I speak?

I speak to you through songs.

I hug you with the wind.

I am walking right beside you, as your mother, wife and friend.

Love Always and Forever Keith and family

SUNSTRUM, Doris – In loving memory of our dear friend and co-worker who passed away November 14, 2011. We both miss you very much. The laughs and all the fun, all the tricks you played on us, never could believe a word you said if it was the truth or not, our times we got together for lunch or dinner or just to talk on the phone. We miss you today, yesterday, tomorrow. You likely have God in stitches by now. Till we meet again. You’re in our prayers always.

Love your dear friends Faye Moore and Ineus Finlay

GRACIE McADAM November 13, 2010 In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

If we could have a lifetime wish, And one dream that could come true, We would pray to God with all our hearts, Just to see and speak to you.

A thousand prayers won’t bring you back, We know because we’ve tried.

And neither will a million tears, We know because we’ve cried.

You’ve left behind our broken hearts, And precious memories too, But we’ve never wanted memories, We only wanted you.

Loved and remembered forever, Buddy, Debbie and Bob, Randy, Austin, Laura, Greg and Kristen, Allan and Pam, Taylor, Joshua and Mathew

“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

BISONETTE, Alma- In loving memory of our Mother.

Hard to believe it’s been one year.

Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartaches When someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that love you Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you Is the hardest part of all.

You meant so very much to us Your heart was kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you.

The special years will not return When we were all together But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever.

For those who still have their Moms Treat her with tender care.

You will never know the emptiness When you turn and she is not there.

Love you Mom The Family

Watch for moose, elk and deer on highways EMC News - The Ministry of Natural Resources is asking motorists to be especially cautious on Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads this fall because wildlife is on the move.

Moose, elk and deer are

particularly active in the fall, especially at dawn and dusk, as they search for mates and food. Deer and elk often travel in groups of two or more, so when motorists see one animal there may be more nearby.

Drivers who see these animals along the road should slow down and sound their horns in a series of short bursts. At night, motorists should blink their headlights to warn the animals and give

them a chance to move out of the way.

Motorists should take extra care where: â&#x20AC;˘ roads cross creeks or rivers â&#x20AC;˘ in wooded corridors

â&#x20AC;˘ where Âżeld edges run at a right angle to the road â&#x20AC;˘ where fences meet roads, and â&#x20AC;˘ where wildlife crossing signs are posted.

For more information,

check out the Ministry of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watch for Wildlife tips for motorists in Ontario.

Connecting People and Businesses!

Be aware and prepared if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading into the forest EMC Lifestyle - This fall, people planning to go hiking, jogging, hunting, riding or bird-watching in a forest should take steps to stay safe.

Public lands in Ontario are used for a variety of activities. Everyone in the forest needs to be aware others may be nearby, and stay visible.

Hunting is allowed on

most Crown land, on some private properties with the permission of the property owner and in some municipal/county forests. Anyone using the forest should check with the municipality for speciÂżc information.

Hikers and birdwatchers: â&#x20AC;˘ Be aware of hunting seasons in the area where you are hiking.

â&#x20AC;˘ Wear a hunter orange vest or jacket and hat, and be especially careful at dawn or dusk, when colours such as red and green appear brown. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid wearing white, especially mittens or hats.

They can resemble a deerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail through trees. â&#x20AC;˘ If you take a pet with you, ensure the animal is wearing a brightly coloured blanket

or T-shirt.

Horseback riders: â&#x20AC;˘ Try to avoid known hunting areas, especially at dawn or dusk. â&#x20AC;˘ Wear a hunter orange vest or jacket, and a brightly coloured helmet cover. â&#x20AC;˘ Use a brightly coloured rump sheet for your horse.

Hunters: â&#x20AC;˘ Be aware that you may

be sharing the forest with other hunters, as well as hikers, riders and birdwatchers. â&#x20AC;˘ Anyone, including archery hunters, hunting during gun season for deer and moose, must wear solid hunter orange clothing (a minimum of 400 square inches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2,580 square centimetres above the waist and visible from all sides) and a hunter

orange head cover. â&#x20AC;˘ Consult the 2012-2013 Hunting Regulations Summary for exceptions. â&#x20AC;˘ Hunters must never shoot unless they are absolutely sure of their target and what is beyond it.
