EMC Events - On a weekend where culture of all types will be celebrated in Smiths Falls, the town’s museum of local history marks 30 years of historical preservation and education with a Victorian lawn party Sunday, Oct. 2.

“It’s a community party,” Carol Miller, museum curator notes.

The 30th anniversary celebration is part of the first annual Culture Days activities taking place Sept. 30-Oct. 2.

The formal museum celebration will feature free museum tours of the 1800s Victorian home on Old Slys Road from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

At 12:30 p.m. the museum board will be hosting a barbecue featuring fall harvest desserts followed by a ribbon cutting of the newly finished gazebo at 1 p.m. Following this brief ceremony musical entertainment from the likes of Harold Frizell will begin on the gazebo platform for the afternoon while visitors indulge in a variety of Victorian games like horseshoes, croquet and bobbing for apples.

The museum will be just as busy indoors with a number of special guests including Helen Benda who will be providing a portrait demonstration from 1-4 p.m. Artwork of another kind will be in the house where Marilyn Crawford and Mary Young will be on hand to identify individual’s redwork patterns. Bring them in Sunday afternoon and have them dated by these local redwork artists!

Also that afternoon, Shirley Summerville will be sitting from 1-4 p.m. with the genealogical records at the museum. She will be available to help answer questions about the difficult task of recording your family tree. The Kettle Boys will likely be on hand to demonstrate rope making and

EMC Events - Culture is alive all around us and Sept.

30-Oct. 2 the Smiths Falls Arts and Culture Council (SFACC) invite the community to celebrate this vibrancy in town during the first annual Culture Days.

After just a few months of planning, the fall celebration of creativity and spirit is upon us. Louis Tremblay, SFACC chair said the event began as a way for the council to demonstrate what they can do, but has grown far beyond anyone’s expectations.

“We’re very excited,” he said.

The weekend-long event will include a number of special events such as the 30th anniversary celebrations at Heritage House Museum and the formal dedication of the SFCI arch.

To kick-off the first Culture Days celebration in Smiths Falls, the town will be hosting a historic dedication ceremo-

ny at the SFCI Arch on Gould Street. The stone archway is all that remains of the 1911 school that served as the high school and then elementary school. A formal celebration of this historic asset will begin Friday, Sept. 30 at noon. The dedication comes at a good time as it is 60 years since the last graduating class left its halls and 100 years since it was built.

Awards night Saturday, Oct. 1 will be a special evening when Culture Days hosts its meet and greet event inside the new arena lounge. That evening the SFACC will launch a new award to be given to an individual who has contributed significantly to the arts community in Smiths Falls.

“Every year it’s going to be a recurring event,” Tremblay said.

The award is aptly named the Joyce Brennan Award in honour of her extensive impact (including assisting the start up of the Heritage House

Give where you live; support 2011 United Way of Lanark County Campaign EMC News – Campaign Kick-off 2011 for the United Way of Lanark County (UwoLC) takes place Saturday, Sept. 24 at Carleton Place High School from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and everyone is invited to attend.

“It’s a free community event,” stated Sarah Bridson, executive director of UWoLC. “There will be a barbecue lunch and children’s activities, and our member agencies will be on site with informational displays.”

Additionally, youth from last October’s Almonte’s Got Talent will perform, and Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc will say a few words, along with Shelagh Dobson, president of the UWoLC Board of Directors.

The UWoLC has 16 member agencies, with 15 receiving funding. Last year, the organization distributed $245,000.

According to Bridson, this year’s campaign goal is $400,000 – identical to the 2010 objective.

“We brought in $352,000 last year,” she stated. “Residents in Lanark County are really generous.”

The 2011 fundraising drive runs until Dec. 3, and Bridson is optimistic the target will be achieved.

Adding strength is Fraser Scantlebury, who joined the UWoLC a short time ago as fund development officer, and for the first time ever, there is a threeperson Campaign Cabinet – Lanark County chief administrative officer Peter Wagland, Almonte and District High School principal Laurie McCabe and accountant Howard

Allan.

Campaign Cabinet volunteers are vital to the success of any campaign.

Wagland, McCabe and Allan will raise awareness about how the UWoLC is responding to the needs of the community, as well as strengthen workplace and corporate giving.

“Peter represents the municipal sector, Laurie the education sector, and Howard is the professional sector,” Bridson stated, “and Fraser is really creative and has great plans.”

Collectively, they will help open doors for the UWoLC, as well as make connections with workplaces and individuals.

This will help increase the organization’s impact on the community.

This is the executive director’s third drive. Bridson joined the UWoLC in 2009, replacing Brenda Hurrle who was retiring after more than 14 years (as executive director and volunteer).

“Donating to our campaign is a great example of how you can stretch your (charitable) dollar,” she said. “Just look at the list of people it touches. It helps seniors live longer in their own homes, as well as teaches youth useful life skills, for example.

Your dollars go across the county.”

Give where you live With the workplace campaign just beginning for employees of the federal and provincial governments, Bridson would like to remind all Lanark County residents who

commute daily to Ottawa to “please give where you live,” sending their United Way contributions back home.

When filling out a pledge form, “people do have the choice to direct their gift to where they live,” Bridson said. “They need to know the form they receive is on behalf of the United Way of Ottawa.”

Individuals are encouraged to call Bridson or Scantlebury for assistance when filling out a pledge form. They can be reached at 613-253-9074 or lanarkunitedway.com.

It’s a painless way to make a contribution,” Bridson added.

Back home, a campaign mailer will go out to residents the first week of October.

Lanark County Support Services mark three decades of serving residents in need

By STACEY ROY Staff Writer

EMC News - This month Lanark County Support Services (LCSS) celebrated 30 years of touching lives, uncovering personal abilities and growing to meet the changing needs of those with a developmental disability.

Formal celebrations took place Sept. 14 at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club.

Debi McEwen, director of LCSS said this date has a very special meaning to two of her co-workers: Darlene Anderson and Elaine Officer.

“That’s why the 14th was chosen because it’s their employment date.”

All three women have been with the organization since its inception and have watched it grow from 15 clients and four staff to today’s service that works with 165 clients and 51 staff.

“We started at one desk.

Four staff sitting around one desk,” Officer recalls.

From the humble beginnings of their collapsible office at the Perth Civitan hall to their multi-facility presence today, LCSS has always focused on assisting their clients with achieving a level of independence and work experience based on their individual needs.

Debi McEwen, director of Lanark County Support Services hands the microphone over to Todd Stepanuik, president and CEO of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital Sept. 14. She is one of three staff members who have been with the organization since its inception.

Smiths Falls District Hospital (who has sponsored the program from day one) was on hand Wednesday evening to congratulate the staff on 30 years of dedication.

“The agency has really evolved since it’s embryonic days,” he added. “What

makes this organization great is the day-to-day actions and dedication of staff.”

Before the staff came into play a group of local residents with family members in need of services approached the Great War Memorial Hospital in 1980 for a day program.

One of the mother’s in this group was Rosemarie Haggar.

“We were happy to have any program 30 years ago,”

Haggar added. “We did what we could.”

She recalls the difficult years when her son was diagnosed and doctors encouraged her to admit him into Rideau Regional Centre and go on with her life. Her mothering instincts wouldn’t allow her to do this, which resulted in lost friends and the ongoing challenge of teaching her son with little to no resources about.

Today her son, Clifford is 55 years old and living an independent life in a group home.

“I’m happy for Clifford today,” she said.

Her son had just finished school when the service was introduced in 1981. Haggar seized the opportunity as a way for her son to develop work skills and have a social outlet. In addition to these invaluable services the LCSS and its association with the hospital provided increased recognition on a local level for individuals with developmental disabilities.

“I hope it carries on because there’ll always be some handicapped person,” Haggar said.

McEwen said the service would continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of their clients who have helped

them create so many lasting memories over the years.

“Thank you for letting us into your lives. You make our day every day,” McEwen said.

Growth The service has gone through many seasons of growth including the addition of the activity centre in 1986, the introduction of transition support services for young adults moving into the work world in 2000 and the formal name change to Lanark County Support Services from Life Skills and Activity Centre in January 2002 to name a few.

The addition of new programs and new faces in their programs requires continued movement for the organization, which McEwen can’t see slowing down any time soon.

“I really believe there is a future in another building project,” she told the audience last week.

The Perth site on Harvey Street is starting to feel cramped with the number of clients who use wheel chairs and walkers. The organization is committed to finding a solution to this challenge.

EMC News – With the final public meetings for a proposed 35-hectare solar power installation in Drummond/ North Elmsley Township completed, the future of the project is in the hands of the Ministry of the Environment.

The two final public meetings, required by the provincial government’s approval process, were held Sept. 13 and 14 at North Elmsley Public School. Brett James of Recurrent Energy, the proponent of the solar project, said this week, “The ministry has two months – 60 days – to review and then to post it on its registry for public comment.”

James said the approval process could take up to eight months. “Earliest case for operation would be late 2012, but more likely spring of 2013,” he said.

The project, known as Smiths Falls 4, will be located at 319 Drummond Concession 1, Perth, if it receives final approval. Recurrent Energy, a company based in San Francisco, CA, with a Canadian office in Toronto, has submitted applications to build a total of 19 solar power generating sites in Ontario, six of them in the Perth-Smiths Falls area. The public meeting process for all six sites in now completed.

Approval for construction of the Drummond/North Elmsley project would be granted by the Ontario Power Authority, which administers the province’s renewable energy Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program. The FIT program is North America’s first comprehensive guaranteed pricing structure for renewable electrical production. The program was launched under the Green Energy and Green Economy Act, which passed into law May 14, 2009. The FIT program took effect Oct. 1, 2009, and was designed to promote greater use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, by pay-

ing a premium for such energy through long-term contracts with the energy producers.

Construction of the Smiths Falls 4 project is expected to take six to 10 months, according to Recurrent Energy’s application to the Ministry of the Environment dated Dec. 22, 2009. The application states that, “Access roads, if necessary, will be built using tracked bulldozers and backhoes to strip topsoil and subsoil as required, to create an even travel surface.”

The entire facility will be fenced and secured with installation of a 2.7 metre (nine foot) fence. The company’s application states that when the project reaches the end of its approximately 30-year lifespan, the site will be decommissioned and restored, by removing all above- and below-ground structures, replacing topsoil, and re-seeding the site. The facility is to be a 10-megawatt facility using solar panels to generate electricity. There will be no staff at the site, but it will be checked regularly for maintenance purposes.

Public meetings were also held in early April at the Perth Civitan Club on two other Recurrent Energy projects, Smiths Falls 2 (at 514 Buttermilk Rd.) and Smiths Falls 5, at the intersection of Armstrong and Station roads, also in Drummond/North Elmsley Township. Neighbours who attended those meetings raised a number of concerns about the potential impact on the value of their properties from the construction process, and possible damage to local roads from heavy truck traffic, as well as concerns about contamination of their well water.

At an April 4 meeting, Recurrent Energy’s Director of Development for Canada, Bob Leah, told the EMC that the company planned to address concerns about well water by analyzing all neighbouring wells prior to construction, and continuing to monitor their quality throughout.

Third Reason to Rock Telethon for CPHC tops goal

By LORRAINE PAYETTE EMC News - On Sunday, Sept. 11, the third annual Reason to Rock Telethon for Community & Primary Health Care (CPHC) was broadcast live on TVCOGECO throughout all of Lanark, Kingston, and Leeds and Grenville.

CPHC is the recipient of the 2006, 2007 and 2010 Donner Canadian Foundation Awards and finalist of the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Donner Canadian Foundation Awards.

“CPHC and TVCOGECO (held) this Reason to Rock telethon to ensure the residents across Lanark, and Leeds and Grenville know what is available to assist them in remaining in their homes,” said Ruth Kitson, Executive Director of CPHC – Lanark, Leeds & Grenville in Brockville. “Several programs are either partially funded or not funded at all; many CPHC clients cannot afford the service, and thus the services are subsidized

by CPHC. “It’s fitting that September 11 has been declared a National Day of Service. The telethon could not fall on a better day than this tenth anniversary of this world reaching disaster (the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York City).”

CPHC offers a wide range of community support services, including Caregiver Support (including Respite), Meals on Wheels, Client Intervention, Diners Clubs,

The event raised over $50,000 for primary health care in the region.

Foot Care Clinics, Friendly Visiting, Home Help/Homemaking, Home Maintenance and Repair, Transportation, Telephone Reassurance, Alzheimer Outreach, Lifeline Service, Diabetes Education Program and the Heart Wise Seniors Exercise Program.

“These services are exceedingly valuable,” said Kitson. “They have assisted individuals in remaining in their homes; reduced visits

to Emergency Departments, reduced admissions to hospital beds, and delayed admissions to Nursing Homes.

“Community and Primary Health Care exists to provide universally accessible and comprehensive primary health care and community support services in the promotion and building of a healthier community.”

SALE

CPHC receives its funding from the United Way, Ministry of Health, private donations and client/business

fees. They are careful to honour special requests from donors to see to it that other CPHC programs are accommodated.

The evening’s entertainment was provided by local musicians and entertainers Joyce Lindsay, Mel Benton & Don Watkins, and The FourTune Seekers quartet of Karen Koivumaki, Kelly Bush, Marilyn Wallace, and Debbie Gay, all avid volunteers with CPHC. Various guests dropped by to enhance the evening with their stories of how CPHC has benefitted them throughout the years. Among them was 91-year-old Doris Kierstead, who is still able to live alone in her own home thanks to programs provided

by CPHC. She is especially fond of LifeLine, a small transmitting device worn around the neck or wrist, which enables her to simply push a button to connect with the base unit in her home in case of emergency. A call is then immediately sent out to the responders, who come at once to look after her need.

“I suppose I could try to scoot to a phone after a fall,” she said, “but I wouldn’t want to risk it. This way, I’m guaranteed to get the help I

need.”

When complimented on how amazing she is for her age, she laughed and told everyone, “Just keep breathing, and you’ll get there!”

Cheques were also presented throughout the evening by Brockville’s Civitan Club ($1,500) and Rotary International ($500), as well as acknowledgement of a $10,000 anonymous donation.

People came through once again and the final announcement was for $50,086, exceeding the goal for the evening. “(We want) to thank our major sponsors, TVCOGECO, Bell Media (through) 104.9 JRFM and 103.7 BOB FM, Brockville Motor Sales, Brockville Recorder & Times, EMC, Gananoque Reporter and Prescott Journal,” said Kitson. “(We) also appreciate the communities of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville for their tremendous support. Without all of you, we could never have made this happen.”

COMMENTARY Exchanging that phone for a ticket

EMC Lifestyle - Stephanie Clarey and Paul Thompson of Kingston spent some time looking at the beauty before them on Spy Rock inside Foley Mountain conservation

site Sept. 17. The natural area was part of Rideau Lakes’ Doors Open event.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Lyme disease wake-up call needed DEAR EDITOR: Do you have, or know someone who has lyme disease? We would like to hear from you.

It seems that every week we hear of someone who has contracted lyme disease locally. The local health unit is releasing statistics that indicate otherwise.

Could the reason for the low numbers be that the test used in Canada is greatly flawed? We have read that there is up to a 75 per cent chance that a person tested for lyme disease here in Canada will receive a false negative test result. When that happens, the patient receives no medication. They just continue to suffer and even die from this terrible disease.

We understand that there are 18 different strains of lyme disease. In Canada, we are tested for just one strain.

Lyme disease is sometimes misdiagnosed as MS, ALS, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Patients have even been told to see a psychiatrist, as the problem is all in their head.

Doctors are supposed to report each case of lyme disease to their local health unit. But with flawed testing, and patients be-

ing treated mistakenly for other diseases, are the numbers being released accurate? We have been told that the answer to that question is “No”!

MPP Bob Bailey from Sarnia-Lambton is circulating a petition to be presented at Queen’s Park this fall. He is trying to raise awareness and direct the Ontario Public Health system and OHIP to include all currently available and scientifically verified tests for Acute and Chronic Lyme diagnosis, to do everything necessary to create public awareness of Lyme Disease in Ontario, and to have internationally developed diagnostic and successful treatment protocols available to patients and physicians.

Please take the time to go to the link below and print off, sign and mail this petition by mid September http://www.cycleforlyme.com. For further information on lyme disease, you can also go to www.canlyme.com.

EMC Editorial – We all know how dangerous it can be.

Pulling out the cell phone while behind the wheel of the car to answer a call; constantly changing stations on the radio or fidgeting with the glove compartment to pull out a CD. Just a few examples of what police agencies have been trying to stamp out: distracted driving.

While there are many other ways to lose one’s focus while driving, the Ontario Provincial Police and other local services have made it their business of late to keep drivers sharp. The effort has not always found success.

In a recent release, OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis expresses his frustration with what he calls the dangers of distracted driving. “They hear our safety messages but nothing changes because they have not taken action. Hundreds of people have close calls every day. They are consciously aware that they are making a poor decision when they text or use their cell phone while driving,” he notes.

The numbers are startling to say the least. According to a police report, distracted driving has been the key factor in more than 5,000 collisions on OPP-patrolled roadways so far in 2011. Thirty-five people in this province have lost their lives needlessly because drivers weren’t paying the proper attention.

With this in mind, the OPP ran a third week of its ongoing distracted driving campaign Sept. 12-18, this one entitled ‘Phone in One Hand, Ticket in the Other’. And it will likely continue as the year progresses, particularly if drivers continue to show a blatant disregard for the provincial laws, whether that’s traveling between communities in Lanark County or flying down the Queensway in Ottawa.

More than 10,000 tickets have been issued under the Highway Traffic Act. Cost for getting caught texting or talking on a handheld device is $155. Watching a video screen can result in a $110 fine. And charges of Careless Driving can result in fines of between $400 and $2,000, possible licence suspension and even jail time.

The various blitz campaigns have seen a doubling in the number of tickets issued by the OPP, hopefully serving to drive home the message about the dangers of such practices.

Clearly, though, more needs to be done to convince people to put their handhelds away. Anyone looking to join the discussion is encouraged to check out the home page at www.opp.ca and follow the links to the social media accounts.

Home for Wayward Girls a mystery for Mary and Velma

EMC Lifestyle - The girls in Senior Fourth talked in whispers about it. Of course, those of us who were much younger could only guess at the gist of it all. But we did know it had to do with girls who, as they said back then, “got in trouble.” And they ended up far from their families in a place called The Home for Wayward Girls, and a blight was put on them for life.

We heard the name a lot at the Northcote school. None of us younger ones knew a thing about it, except that that was where you were bound to end up if you got into trouble.

For the longest time I thought you could end up there if you did something to displease the teacher, or were caught going home with a piece of chalk stolen from the ledge of the blackboard!

There was absolutely no such thing as vandalism amongst the young female population of Northcote in that era, and so we all knew

there wasn’t much likelihood of ending up in the Home for Wayward Girls for insubordination.

If Miss Crosby objected to our behaviour, she dealt with the offence quickly and efficiently. However, we girls in the younger grades, when we heard the older girls talk about the Home for Wayward Girls, could picture this place far away from our families, looking much like a dungeon.

However, my friend Velma and I had no idea what you had to do to earn admission.

We would try to eavesdrop if the subject came up between my sister Audrey and Velma’s older sister but they always hushed up if they caught us listening. This further added to the mystery and the intrigue of the place, but try as we would, we could never figure out what purpose the Home for Wayward Girls served.

Velma said she figured a girl had to commit murder to gain admission. I said I

thought she had to rob the collection plate in church.

And then one day we finally figured it out on our own, did Velma and I. We had long since determined that a girl got in trouble as we said back then of anyone caught in the bonds of impending motherhood without benefit of husband, by having her knee touched by the hand of her boyfriend.

That realization sent shivers up our spines as we thought of the many times our knees barely escaped contact with a boys hand during the many games we played in the Northcote school.

And if the girl was unfortunate enough to be caught in such a predicament it was

never the fault of the boy the reasoning went. It was the sole responsibility of the girl to keep her knees to herself.

And so Velma and I met one day in the Northcote school yard. It was bad enough that we were in a junior class and seldom included in any of the talk of the older girls. In those days the dialogue amongst the females of the Northcote school was not much different than it is today. The older girls talked about boys, the Saturday night dances and sinful things like falling from grace. That was another term my little friend Velma and I had to figure out for ourselves. But it didn’t take us long to understand what falling from grace

meant...we knew for a fact it had something to do with the Home for Wayward Girls.

We lived with the hope that someone at the Northcote school would eventually either fall from grace, or get in trouble as was the more common term just to see if she was hauled away to the Home for Wayward Girls and then we could see first hand the string of events that led to her downfall.

We tried to figure out the more likely of the candidates.

But one by one we eliminated them. Marguirite was heartily disliked by all the boys right up to the Entrance Class and it was doubtful any one of them would touch her on the knee. The school had only l8 pupils and l0 of them were boys, so it didn’t take long for us to run out of possibilities.

Velma and I held another meeting at the back corner of the school yard. It certainly appeared that no girl at the Northcote school was ever going to be a candidate for

ADVERTISING: Jackie Staples Cheryl Johnston Sharon Sinfield Peter Ellis Kathy Perreault Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

the Home for Wayward Girls.

And we further realized that we would probably go through life never knowing a thing more about the place than we did at that moment. I wondered if a girl could get just a little bit in trouble...or fall slightly from grace. If so I wouldn’t mind taking a run at it just to gain experience.

But Velma said it was highly unlikely, she thought the condition we were alluding to was irreversible. And so we were forced to accept that we were simply too young to be exposed to anything so worldly as the Home for Wayward Girls. We reasoned it had absolutely nothing to do with who or what you were.

It had everything to do with what grade you were in.

And primer book girls were just not old enough to know all there was to know about the Home for Wayward girls.

We would just have to wait until we were in senior fourth like Audrey and her worldly friends.

Walk to help kidney patients this Sunday

By CHRIS MUST Staff Writer

EMC Events – Organizers of the second annual Kidney Foundation of Canada “Give the Gift of Life Walk” to be held in Perth Sept. 25 are hoping to raise at least $8,000 for the cause.

The Sunday morning walk will start from the Crystal Palace in the Tay Basin at 10 a.m., with registration opening at 9 a.m., and a pre-walk warm-up planned for 9:45. To register, call Brenda Dubé at 613-2641175, or email dan110@sympatico.ca. The walk replaces the annual Round-Up For Research fundraising held in Perth for a number of years to support the Kidney Foundation.

Proceeds of the Perth walk, and similar walks being held in 30 communities across Ontario this month, will support education and awareness of kidney disease, fund support programs for patients, and research, and help promote organ donation.

The five km walk will take place on the same route in downtown Perth as last year.

“I’m using the same route as last year, because it worked well, and people seemed to like it,” said Dubé. The route is wheelchair accessible, since it follows paved streets and sidewalks, and it is possible for anyone who may be unable to complete the entire five km to return to the Crystal Palace early.

According to information from the Kidney Foundation of Canada, kidney disease can strike anyone at any age. An estimated 2.6 million Canadians have kidney disease, or are at risk. Each day an average of 15 people are told that their kidneys have failed. In 2009 there were nearly 38,000 Canadians on renal replacement therapy; more than triple the number in 1990.

The two leading causes of kidney failure are diabetes and renal vascular disease (including high blood pressure).

The need for more awareness of organ donation is highlighted by the statistic that 249 people died while waiting for an organ donation in Canada. One third of them were waiting for a kidney.

Dubé said it is important for anyone battling a disease to have the kind of support offered by the Kidney Foundation, and to have an awareness of the resources that are available to help.

The Sept. 25 walk will go ahead rain or shine. There are public washrooms on-site, and ample parking in the vicinity.

Coffee, tea, water and refreshments will be available before and after the walk.

Anyone who participated in last year’s walk will be eligible for a special draw if they can also persuade a friend to sign up this year, and bring in a minimum $50 pledge. The prize for the special draw will be an automobile cleaning package.

Prizes for the top individual fundraiser and top fundraising team will be awarded. Dubé said she also hopes to have some local products or services to raffle. “The general public are more than welcome to drop by and show support by offering a donation if they wish,” said Dubé, and will also be welcome to get in on the raffle.

Registration now open for 2011 Small School Summit “Engaging the Creative Mind” EMC News – Registration is now open for the 2011 Small School Summit, a two-day educational event designed to show teachers how they can expand their students’ minds through the arts.

Hundreds of educators are expected to attend the Kingston event Oct. 27 and 28 to celebrate the value of the arts in education. The 2011 Summit, entitled Engaging the Creative Mind, will take place at the Ambassador Conference Resort, Kingston. Delegates can register by visiting www. ucdsb.on.ca, clicking on the Small School Summit icon at the right side of the page, and then clicking on the registration link. Cost is $349 to attend the full conference, and $225 to attend either day one or

two.

The annual event will feature presentations by noted speakers such as CBC Radio’s Jian Ghomeshi and actor and recording artist Tom Jackson.

Delegates will be treated to a panel discussion featuring noted Canadian artists Murray McLauchlan, Anita Kunz, and Allen Kaeja.

Delegates can attend workshops on a range of arts-related topics including: the value of graphic novels in classroom teaching, how to engage students through YouTube videos, and capturing the power of the drum circle.

“It’s an opportunity to celebrate the value of the arts in education, to share best teaching practices, and to develop creativity in our students,” said Olga

Grigoriev, co-chair of the event.

The Summit will also feature a working lunch that will explore the possibility of establishing an arts network for Eastern Ontario. The network would be a “one-stop shopping” portal for information on arts education, community arts initiatives, and connections to professional artists with an interest in working with our schools.

Some of the workshops offered include: Weaving the Arts into Native Studies; Guerrilla Teaching: Go Ape for Apps; EcoSmart Art; and Business and … the Arts?

but they come out and help us out at our events,” Quinton commented.

“For Hospice, it’s really important that we do partner. It allows us more options to reach a greater number of people in terms of our clients; these aren’t just clients experiencing volunteers coming to their homes to help them, but also for programs in the community,” she continued.

Quinton cites the new expressive art therapy program geared at helping children aged four to 11 recover from the loss of a loved one, which began this week, as an example. Hospice was able to offer the program thanks to a $1,500 grant from the Bridge Street United Church Foundation.

“This extra funding could allow us to maybe offer a program to other age groups in the future,” she said. “Partnerships are critical.”

All of the programs Hospice offers is free to residents within their catchment area. To learn more,

Minor said the services Hospice provides are invaluable. “In actual fact, the moment a person hears they have a terminal illness, there’s a lot of coaching and assisting to help them move through the final days of their life in as home-like a setting as possible,” he stated.

The funds were raised through lodge donations, individual donations and events that have been held throughout the year, including Masonic Lodge golf and curling tournaments and their popular fish fry.

“We raised the money amongst ourselves…we reached into our own pockets for this (donation),” Minor remarked.

According to Marlene Quinton, Beth Donovan Hospice community outreach officer, the funds will go towards enhancing Hospice’s programming. She said forming partnerships with service organizations like the Masons is extremely important.

“This is incredible because not only do they (Masons) support us financially

EMC News – As part of its ongoing efforts to support palliative care, the St. Lawrence District Masons gave Kemptville’s Beth Donovan Hospice a big boost Sept. 15 in the form of a $6,705 donation.

Local masons, representing the 17 lodges in the St. Lawrence District, made the presentation at the Hospice office at 6 Asa St. in Kemptville. Included in that amount is $1,000 from Mount Zion Masonic Lodge of Kemptville, who have made a three-year commitment to donate $1,000 to Beth Donovan Hospice.

The $6,705 donation is part of a total $37,000 raised by the lodges throughout the district, who choose a different charity to support each year. For 2010-2011, area Hospices benefited from this commitment. Donations will also be made to Dignity House in Perth and the Brockville and District Hospice, which is part of Brockville General Hospital.

“This is the second year we’ve had palliative care as our annual district charity,” explained past St. Lawrence District deputy grandmaster Cameron Minor. “…From the Masonic point of view, all of us have had brethren that have needed this type of care at the end of their life. We promote palliative care in the community not just with dollars but by getting information out to the community.” “…We want the community to be aware that we support this. That’s our purpose,” he added.

Locally, members of the Merrickville and Mount Zion Masonic Lodges have been eager to pledge their support to Hospice, helping run the bar at their popular Fall Extravaganza fundraiser, as well as lending a hand to set up and run a barbecue during the organization’s first Hike for Hospice in the Ferguson Forest Centre earlier this year.

The St. Lawrence District Masons, which represents 17 Masonic Lodges throughout the region, presented Beth Donovan Hospice in Kemptville with a $6,705 donation Sept. 15 at their Asa St. location.

one or two free tree seedlings they can go home and plant.

REAL is hosting the workshop to encourage the planting of more trees in the Town of Smiths Falls, as a means of helping to address urban runoff. In urban environments heavy rains and snowmelt rush off hardened surfaces such as roadways, rooftops, sidewalks, driveways etc. and flow either into Combined Sewer Overflow pipes to the waste water treatment plant, or into storm sewers and directly into the Rideau River. These later sewers carry street debris and pollutants directly into the river.

Tree roots can take up and hold a lot of storm water, slowing down the release of that excess water into the sewers. But that’s only one reason for having a healthy urban tree forest. Chris Canning, a local Landscape Architect will present on other reasons, the list of preferred native, urban trees for this locale and lead the demonstration of how to plant a tree and the latest techniques for ensuring it thrives.

EMC Events - For a moment, imagine the Town of Smiths Falls, or any other town in Eastern Ontario, with no old trees towering over its streets, providing shade in its parks, and homes for songbirds.

Insect infestations, drought, road salt, air pollution and extreme climate events are only some of the problems challenging our urban forests – and all are exacerbated by climate change.

It’s clear that if we want the benefits of trees, we need to create better conditions for their growth and health – we need to help them so they can help us.

As part of its RAIN program, The Rideau Environmental Action League is holding a workshop on The Benefits of Urban Trees and Planting and Transplanting Young Trees on Saturday, Sept. 24.

The workshop is free, will start at 10:30 a.m., go to about noon and be held at the REAL Environment Centre at the site of the REAL Deal Reuse Store at 85 William St. W., Smiths Falls, opposite the Railway Museum. Participants are asked to register by calling 613-283-9500 but are welcome to just show up. All participants will leave with

Pet Valu in Perth made a donation of over $1,850 to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society, Sept. 22. Over 350 stores across the province took part in the Pet Appreciation Weekend held recently whereby customers were asked for a donation of $1 or $2. Each store was able to choose where the funds raised were directed, the Perth store chose LAWS. The store ranked number seven in terms of funds raised. Kathy Laird, owner, emphasizes the customers are what made

it all a success. It is hoped it will become an annual event, “it’s only going to grow. It’s terrific,” she said.

EMC Lifestyle - October is Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month.

The Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit wants to support local organizations in their efforts to develop workplace wellness initiatives.

A workplace that promotes employee health and wellness can have a big impact on employers and employees alike. According to Health Canada (2009), a healthy workplace reduces employee stress, improves work-life balance and increases job satisfaction.

In addition, a workplace wellness program can benefit employers by lowering absence and injury rates, and increasing productivity.

Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month has promoted healthy workplaces since it’s inception in 2001, and has grown from a weeklong event to a monthly celebration. The theme for this year’s campaign is “Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, Healthy Work…simple goals for everyone!” Workplaces can visit the event website www. healthyworkplace.ca, where they will find information, resources, marketing material and best practices.

This year, an exciting opportunity exists for organizations across Canada to share ideas and highlight excellent wellness programs.

Workplaces that already have successful workplace wellness initiatives in place can submit stories and photos to the Healthy Workplace Month website. To support local organizations who are interested in developing a workplace wellness program, the Health Unit has resources and toolkits available. The Health Unit also wants to hear about what local organizations are doing, and will feature some local success stories in their newsletter and on their website.

To obtain more information about Workplace Health or to get copies of resources/toolkits, contact a Workplace Public Health Nurse at 1-800-660-5853 or 613-345-5685 or email to workplace@healthunit.org. You can also get more information at www. healthunit.org/workplace.

Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month is managed by Excellence Canada (formerly National Quality Institute) in collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety.

EMC Events – Almonte’s Terry Fox Run, now in its 28th year, took place Sunday (Sept. 18) at the Almonte and District Community Centre (arena) on Bridge Street.

All monies raised go toward a cure for all forms of cancer – breast, colorectal, kidney, prostate, stomach, and more. The 2011 Terry Fox Run is dedicated to Betty Fox, Terry’s mother, who passed away June 17. She is honoured for her commitment to her son’s cause, for her dedication, for her compassion, for her vision, and for persevering at all costs. Above: An avid group of bicyclists wait for the start of the run; at left, Miriam Tuffin, before the 10k run. She has participated for 23 years; and below, the walkers and runners followed the bicycles out onto the course.

EMC Events – Participants in this year’s Walk4Justice made their way to Carleton Place Friday (Sept. 16), before making their way to Parliament Hill in Ottawa Monday, Sept. 19.

Walkers began their journey from Vancouver, BC, June 21. Gladys Radek and Bernie Williams co-founded Walk4Justice, which is dedicated to raising awareness about the plight of the 3,000plus missing and murdered women across Canada. They demand action and justice for “their sisters.”

Photovoice: See the bigger picture EMC News - We all have varying opinions about what’s important when it comes to health and social issues. Public health employees are tasked with trying to view the world through different perspectives in order to develop programs and provide services to meet the varying needs of the community. Youth in many communities feel they are not listened to or that they do not have a voice. The under-representation of this segment of our population is an area of concern for the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit.

In the fall of 2011, youth in Leeds, Grenville & Lanark will have a chance to be heard. Photovoice is a photography project that allows youth to highlight and explore issues around health and well being in their community. The issues can be positive or negative, and range from tobacco and substance use, to physical activity, to mental health and beyond. What’s important is that the youth themselves are identifying the real issues affecting their day to day lives.

“Photovoice is a project that could give a sense of empowerment to those youth who might otherwise feel they have no influence,” says David Patterson, Youth Engagement Advisor at the Health Unit, “It’s a chance for them to give others a look at the world through their eyes.”

Photovoice is being run throughout Eastern Ontario, led by the six health units therein. Beginning Sept. 12, participants will submit photos (cameras can be provided), along with a description of what the picture represents/means to them. There will be weekly draws for over $10,000 in prizes and the grand prize is an Xbox with Kinect. In December, after the initiative has ended, a community gallery featuring the photos will be held, to which local media and decision-makers will be invited, along with a selection of youth participants.

To get involved, or for more information, visit the Photovoice link on the Health Unit website’s front page www.healthunit. org, or contact David Patterson, Youth Engagement Advisor, LG&L District Health Unit at sfoa@healthunit.org.

Canadians pay tribute to 9/11 victims

By GARY STRIKE Special to the EMC EMC News – On Friday, Sept. 9 at 3:30 a.m., my son, Ben and I set out on a long charter bus ride. Starting in Ottawa, our destination was New York City.

It took a total of 12 hours with stops, and the delay at the border crossing with heightened security, which took an hour and a half to get through. We arrived at Times Square at 3:30 p.m. We went to Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum and Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, before going to dinner and spending time at Times Square. At 9 p.m., we boarded the bus to go to our hotel in New Jersey.

The next morning we boarded the bus and headed to Ground Zero. At that point Ben and I left the tour in search of the closest fire station. I spotted a policeman talking to someone and decided to ask for directions. When I got a chance I basically told him why we were there. The gentleman he was talking to mentioned he was a paramedic and that he was headed to the area to do an interview. He invited us to follow along with him. He introduced himself and us, to the camera crew and told them why we were there.

They asked if they could interview me next. I readily agreed, especially when I found out that they were with CBC National News.

The CBC producer’s name was Corinne Seminoff.

When they interviewed the paramedic he said the paramedics were the forgotten group. I immediately decided to present him with a flag. However, the cameraman ran out of film so he couldn’t add my presentation of the flag from Charlottetown, PEI to him, but Ben took pictures. He was my cameraman. While I was waiting, another man asked if he could interview me. It was Carl Hanstke, news reporter for 680 News. He said the interview would also be on their website with a picture. Another lady with a small video camera asked if she could tag along with Ben and I, as well as the CBC crew to the main fire station, which was only a short distance away. Lee-Anne Goodman was with the Canadian Press. There were at least 100 people at the closest fire station (Ladder Co. 10) – firemen from all over the world. They were busy and it was difficult to set up the presentation and interview.

One lady seemed to be in charge of organizing so I spoke to her briefly and explained that I would like to make a presentation and CBC was on deadline. She said, “Give me 10 minutes and I will arrange something.” I had talked to several firemen, and one asked me if I knew Captain Rod Black. I said that I knew him, and should have said

Carleton Place councillor Gary Strike presents a Canadian flag to a group of firefighters at 8 Hook and Ladder 8 fire station just blocks from Ground Zero. he is now Deputy Chief Rod Black. They then set up the presentation in front of the memorial wall on the side of the building facing – and within a stones throw – of Ground Zero. CBC, Canadian Press, Global and others covered the presentation of the Lanark County flag to the New York Fire Department, Ladder Co. 10. They were impressed and very appreciative. After the presentation they took time to fold the flag properly, and it ended up in a diamond shape. The Americans treat their flag with respect; they don’t take things lightly. After we met firemen from Chatham and New Brunswick, I told them I had the New Brunswick flag with me. We got pictures of them holding their flag in front of the memorial wall.

We were about to leave for the second Fire Station when I got a call from Sean Kilpatrick, son of Yvonne and George Kilpatrick, who own the Blossom Shop in Carleton Place.

He said he was in New York only blocks away and would like to meet up with me. I was surprised, but said of course. I knew Sean worked for the Canadian Press. It’s a small world.

The paramedic, Rod Black and Sean Kilpatrick. What are the chances?

When Sean arrived I asked him how he knew I was there. He said he received a text from LeeAnne of the Canadian Press. She knew we both were from Carleton Place.

Sean was in New York to cover Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the morning of Sept. 11. We then proceeded to the main police station, which was right out of a movie in the 1950s, with the big raised desk and a policeman look-

ing down at you. We are sure lucky to have the new modern facilities that we have. They have the equipment, but not the facilities in New York. We were told they couldn’t accept gifts and no press coverage without going through a communications officer.

He gave us a number to call and Sean tried several times. I asked if we could just leave the flag, but he insisted that we call the number. We couldn’t get through, so we gave up. We asked where the closest fire station was and he took us outside and pointed across the street to Fire Station No. 8. To our amazement it was the one that was used in the filming of the Ghostbusters movie (Who are you going to call?). We were excited. Sean covered the presentation of the flag from Rouyn-Noranda, Que, and we got pictures in front of the fire station. I even took Sean’s picture with his personal camera. Then we hopped on a tour bus and were dropped off near the third station in China Town, on Canal St. We presented the Edmonton flag to Fire Station No. 10, the Dragon Firefighters.

The next day, Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I did a radio interview with 1310 at 7:30 a.m. We headed into the city not knowing what to expect because the security was building. There were thousands of officers, hundreds of police cars, tow trucks, mobile command centres, motorcycles, little three-wheeled vehicles used by by-law enforcement, police on horseback, and even golf carts. There were sharp shooters on rooftops. I saw them towing away a five-ton rental van the night before. All of the fire trucks and firemen

were out in full force. The CBC people told us the security was a lot more than the G20 Summit in Toronto. Of course, presidents Obama and Bush, Prime Minister Harper and many more dignitaries were there, along with thousands of family members of victims, thousands of New Yorkers and visitors from all over the world. The bus driver had no choice but to drop Ben and I about a 20-minute walk away.

We walked toward

Ground Zero and got within two blocks and were stopped at the inner barricades. I told the police why we were there but they told me you have to have a pass. After waiting 30 minutes they let us through. We could see the victims’ families reading the names of their lost loved ones about 100 yards away. We were blocked by another set of barricades. We went into the lobby of the Marriot Hotel and watched some of the names being read out on the big screens. All of the main news networks were located on the roof of the hotel. I was called to do an interview with CTV early that morning, but they were interviewing victims’ families and they ran out of time and cancelled my interview. We saw thousands of victims’ families walking by with little light blue ribbons, some carrying pictures. It was sad.

Ben and I walked back to the fire station that we walked by earlier that morning, Engine Co. 4, Ladder Co. 15, South St. and presented the Ottawa Flag. We walked to the Staten Island Ferry where we took a ride to and from Staten Island and saw the Statue of Liberty. I saw it once before, but it was Ben’s first visit to New York.

We then walked through Battery Park where there were over 3,000 five foot special American Flags, similar to mine with all of the victims names imprinted in the stripes. What a site! We then hopped back on the tour bus to head for

our last fire station on 8th.

Ave., (Engine 54, Ladder 4, Battalion 9) where I presented the last flag from Moncton, New Brunswick.

You would think, and I was told that they would have tons of items, but it is not true. They had a six-foot glass display case that one of our flags would cover.

People did drop off flowers. They truly were grateful, and they didn’t take it lightly. They were honoured, and I was honoured to be a part of Canada’s tribute to the victims and their families. I was truly blessed.

I would like to sincerely thank all of the people that worked on this tribute – my friend Robert McDonald, who was my project partner and sponsored the tribute; his wife Barb and their daughters (one is a firefighter in Rouyn-Noranda along with her husband, and the other daughter headed up the creation of the flag in Moncton); my friends; David Robertson, Peter Hart and Jim Collins, who did research and helped with the media; all of the firemen, police, ambulance, paramedics, mayors, councils and supportive Canadians in Lanark County; the cities of Ottawa, Rouyn-Noranda, Moncton, Charlottetown and Edmonton; the provinces of New Brunswick and Alberta; Sean Kilpatrick, my son, Ben; and especially my wife, Valerie, who always supports me and actually came up with the idea to do this tribute.

Merrickville celebrates Trails Open with launch of new trail

EMC Events – Trails enthusiasts flocked to Merrickville Sept. 18 for Trails Open. Trails Open Ontario began the initiative five years ago in order to promote trail use and outdoor education. The Merrickville District Trails Society, in conjunction with Limerick Forest and Friends of the Limerick Forest took the opportunity to officially open the new Merrickville-

Limerick Forest Trail. The trailhead is located at the top of Collar Hill Road in Merrickville. United Counties of Leeds-Grenville’s forest manager Geoff McVey, Merrickville District Trails Society president Tim Allen and Merrickville-Wolford mayor Doug Struthers officially unveil the new Merrickville-Limerick Forest Trail information kiosk. Right, visitors tour the trail.

New Horizon Club gears up for busy fall season EMC News – The annual general meeting of the New Horizon Club was held on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at the Burritts Rapids Community Hall.

President Shirley Price opened the meeting with a moment of silence in memory of those members who had passed away recently.

Past president Grayce Muir then presented a slate of officers for the following year.

With no further nominations from the floor the following nominations were unanimously accepted. The new executive is: President Shirley Price; vice president Klaus Weirspecker; secretary Eleanor Muscroft; treasurer Patricia Watson; program officer Jean Travers; public relations officer Catherine Brunton; refreshment committee, Janet Glaves; member-at-large Helen Brazier; and immediate past president Grayce Muir.

Jean Travers presented the program for the following months, which includes a Halloween Party and an Oktoberfest event in October, a trip to the War Museum in Ottawa and a Hobo

Party and book exchange in November.

The year will end with a Christmas dinner at the Merrickville Royal Canadian Legion Branch 245 on Dec. 7, which will include Christmas Carols and a sing-along.

The next New Horizon Club event will be held Sept. 28 at 2 p.m. when Ann Raina will speak about her book ‘Clara’s Rib,’ the story of a girl who grew up in a tuberculosis hospital. This takes place at the Burritts Rapids Community Hall.

During the AGM, Price also announced that 2011 Ontario Volunteer Awards had been awarded to Pat Watson, Jean Travers and Bob Hone. The meeting was then adjourned and refreshments were served.

Membership in the New Horizon Club is available to area seniors aged 55 or over, or retired. Everyone is welcome, so please come and join us.

For further information, please call Shirley (613258-9315) or Jean (613283-6439).

Composting organics has two key benefits: it reduces the amount of waste going to landfills and when added to your garden, helps nourish soil and plants.

EMC Events – To celebrate the opening of the new trail, a number of activities were available for visitors to enjoy, including guided tours of the trail, Celtic music by band Fiddlers Plus, above, as well as an information session with ‘The Bug Lady’ Andrea Howard, and a barbecue by Elements Bistro. Right, prior to the trail’s official opening, volunteer Valerie Kirkwood, far left, provided an historical overview of the forest. This new trail will officially link Merrickville’s trails to those in Limerick Forest, allowing visitors to walk from Merrickville to almost Prescott through the forest.

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

Doors Open was held in Merrickville Sunday, Sept. 18 featuring a lengthy list of locations for the public to peruse, including above, Merrickville’s Blockhouse (St. Lawrence St. at Main St.). It has the distinction of being the largest of four blockhouses built to defend the Rideau Canal, and was constructed in 1832-1833.

And below, Merrickville’s United Church (100 St. Lawrence St.) on the south side of the Rideau Canal. The large stone structure was constructed in the Akron Plan architectural design and includes historic stained-glass windows and the original 1909 Matthews organ.

EMC Events – Riders travelled up to two hours to attend Sunday’s (Sept. 18) sixth annual Pike Falls Classic Lanark County Toy Run. Over 100 bikes made their way through the county, before ending up at the Army Navy Air Force Unit in Carleton Place. A toy or a cash donation was the entrance fee, and after registration the pool tables were full of toys and cash donations were double. By way of a local agency, children (ages six to 15) will receive the donations at Christmas. Organizers of the event would like to thank everyone that participated in the ride. At left: organizer Don Flinn; and above, Carleton Place’s Terry Buffett. A drop off location will remain at Zellers, in the County Fair Mall, Smiths Falls, for a short period of time for those wishing to make a donation and who couldn’t make it out on Sunday.

MERA announces new fall workshops EMC Events – MERA (McDonalds Corners & Elphin Recreation & Arts) is expanding its very popular workshop series at the McDonalds Corners Schoolhouse to include Maberly and Middleville in a program called MERA in Your Neighbourhood, which is funded through the Arts Investment Fund of the Ontario Arts Council. The Schoolhouse workshops cover a variety of topics and the Maberly and Middleville ones focus on crafts.

“We’re excited to have MERA-quality workshops in three venues this fall,” says Kristine Swaren, MERA’s Program Coordinator. “All our workshops are very reasonable in cost, but as a special introductory offer the Maberly and Middleville workshops are highly discounted. If you are new to MERA, your registration will also include a free one-year membership which includes our e-newsletter and discounts on future workshops.”

Workshops at the Schoolhouse start the last weekend in September. On Saturday, Sept.

24, find your ancestors in a Genealogy Workshop offered by Charles Dobie and on Sunday, Sept. 25, discover the benefits of Alternative Healing with Shiatsu Therapist Catherine Smith.

On Saturday, Oct. 15 get ready for Halloween by Tole Paint-

ing a cute “Dracula” with local artist and teacher Kathie Donaldson. The following week on Saturday, Oct. 22, you can take that bottomless chair out of your basement and fix it during a Chair Caning workshop by professional weaver Alexis Mongeau.

By popular request, artist and teacher Niki Mulder is back on Saturday, Nov. 19 to teach some new techniques for Bookmaking. The workshop builds on what previous students have learned but is also suitable for beginners.

Early December is the time to get ready for Christmas and, on December 3, you can make a Christmas Wreath using local evergreens – but no wire.

Forester Bill Barrett is the instructor. The last workshop is on December 4, when you can learn the basics of Cake Decorating from Baker Sheila Zieman by trying out four different techniques on cupcakes.

Starting in October, MERA in Your Neighbourhood is taking our favourite instructors on the road. Ankaret Dean is winding grapevine into baskets, Wendy Phillips is folding tiny strips of paper to make cards, and also poking and packing wool to make felted snowmen, Dawn King is fastening cedar branches together into stars and obelisks and trays,

Mary Donnelly is reviving the ancient art of spinning yarn using a hand-made and hand-held drop spindle, Rosemary Kotze is fashioning felt berets, Dean Spence is crafting birch bark picture frames, Jean Dunning is messing with hypertufa mud to make garden planters, Ellen Good is exploring the mystique of indigo dye, and Gloria Lee-Shoebridge is teaching non-painters to create gorgeous painted floor mats.

Details and dates for all these workshops are available at www.meraschoolhouse.org, or by phoning 613-278-0388 and leaving a message. Each daylong workshop at the Schoolhouse is $35 for MERA members and $50 for non-members.

There is a material fee for some workshops. To register call 613-278-0388 or email us at meraschoolhouse@bell.net and/or send a cheque made out to ‘MERA’ to Box 76, McDonald’s Corners, ON K0G 1M0.

VISA payment is available.

As a special introductory offer, the Maberly and Middleville workshops are highly discounted: $20 each, or five workshops for $75. And if you are new to MERA, your registration will include a free one-year MERA membership. Register by emailing meraschoolhouse@bell.net or calling Kristine Swaren at 613-278-0388.

Candidates aren’t the only ones campaigning: women want political parties to Step it Up! form in their platform, but often party documents are too general and don’t address the specific needs of women who experience violence,” said Eileen Morrow, coordinator of the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses, one of the Step it Up organizers.

Step it Up! has created tools that groups can use across the province during the next month to talk to local candidates and organize events and other strategies to get their issues heard. The campaign can also provide some financial support to local groups who want to organize all-candidates meetings or events to promote the Step it Up! platform but don’t have resources to pay expenses.

“We’ve had great response

from women, especially because September is traditionally the month when women raise awareness of sexual violence and an ideal time for communities to raise the issue of violence against women with the women and men who want their vote come Oct. 6,” said Nicole Pietsch, coordinator of the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres (OCRCC), a provincial network of sexual assault centres from all across Ontario.

Some areas already planning Step it Up! campaign activities are: Red Lake, Carleton Place, Ottawa, Sault Ste. Marie, Kingston, London, Brampton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Durham, Aurora, Mississauga, Whitby, Pembroke, St. Catharines and Hamilton, with a larger event being planned

for Sept. 29 at Queen’s Park in Toronto.

When times are hard, times are harder for women and children facing violence and poverty, especially in already marginalized communities.

Most party rhetoric so far has focussed on impacts from global economic issues that have the greatest negative impact on these communities.

But we’re hearing little about how economic strategies will focus on women and marginalized Ontarians or about spe-

cific measures to strengthen or sustain social programs needed to ensure women and children won’t be left out or abandoned.

The Step it Up! action plan calls for steps that a new government can take over four years on economic security, equity and accessibility, action on sexual violence, housing, publicly funded child care, training, access to justice, funding for women’s community services and survivor involvement in policy devel-

opment on violence against women.

“We are hoping that media will cover the campaigns of the parties, but also of the people in Ontario who typically are not heard from before voters decide who will form their government for the next four years,” said Morrow.

For more information about the Step it Up! Campaign, visit us at www.stepitupontario. ca and on Facebook.

EMC News - The Ontario provincial election race is officially on, but political hopefuls won’t be the only ones on the campaign trail this month.

Women’s anti-violence activists have their own campaign to have women’s voices heard on the hustings.

The Step it Up! Campaign calls on all parties and candidates to endorse the “Platform for Parties” put together in consultation with women’s shelters and rape crisis centres, anti-poverty advocates, labour, educators and equity groups.

Campaign representatives have already met with party officials of the three sitting parties in Ontario and will meet soon with the Green Party of Ontario.

Younger de Haan hopes to make an impact in the CCHL this season following trade to Lumber Kings

By JEFF MAGUIRE

EMC Sports - Evan de Haan hadn’t played a game in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) this season and yet he has already been a member of three teams.

The 16-year-old defenceman and the younger brother of New York Islanders’ top prospect Calvin de Haan was traded by Ottawa Junior Senators, who held his CCHL playing rights, to perennial league champion Pembroke Lumber Kings. Pembroke is also the defending national Junior A champion.

His older brother Calvin, the former Kemptville 73’s star, is expected to make a strong bid for a place in Islanders’ NHL line-up this season. The de Haan brothers are Carp natives.

Evan’s trade to Pembroke was announced Sept. 8, the day before the Tier 1 Junior A league opened its regular season. However, the young man didn’t join his new team until the middle of last week.

During the off season Nepean Raiders, who protected Evan originally as a 15-year-old, traded his rights to the Junior Sens.

“We believe it (trade) is because they (Senators) don’t want to play any 16-year-olds,” his father Bill told the EMC Friday.

“But that’s just what we’ve been told.”

Earlier this pre-season Evan was in the camp of Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), the team that picked him in the second round of the Major Junior draft back on May 7. He was the 40th overall selection in the OHL entry draft.

He could have stayed with the Wolves but in consultation with his parents Evan decided to return to Junior A. “He isn’t physically ready (for the OHL) yet,” his father observes.

The Pembroke deal came just at the right moment. Lumber Kings acquired Evan’s playing rights in exchange for a player development fee. Kings’ coach and general manager Sheldon Keefe is hoping that with his pedigree the younger de Haan will be a key addition to his rebuilding hockey club.

The previously veteran-laden Pembroke team lost 18 players following their Royal Bank Cup win in Camrose, Alberta in May. Evan is already in Pembroke where he has been billeted and is attending high school. In his first game for the team last Wednesday (Sept. 14) he helped Lumber Kings to their first win

of the campaign. He assisted on the first goal of the night in a 3-2 triumph at Nepean Sportsplex. Ironically his first CCHL game was against Nepean Raiders the same team who originally held his league playing rights.

“We (Bill and his wife Kathy) are pleased he is in Pembroke.

Sheldon Keefe is one of the best Junior A hockey coaches in the country. So he’s in good hands there,” Bill de Haan observes.

It is uncertain whether Evan will opt to play in the OHL, even if the opportunity presents itself.

“He’s just 16. At this stage it is a matter of developing. He’ll be taking it a game at a time,” his father notes.

Isles’ camp While Evan is hoping to make a strong impression in his first year in junior, older brother Calvin is aiming to make Islanders’ line-up this season. The National Hockey League team opened its main camp this past weekend.

During the club’s rookie camp Calvin scored once and assisted three times during Islanders’ exhibition games against other NHL rookie squads.

“He handed out some big hits in his last game and that’s unusual for Calvin,” Bill chuckles.

The young man is a skilled defenceman known for his play making ability rather than his physical presence.

“He hopes to make the Islanders. But if he doesn’t he’ll be going to the AHL (American Hockey League) to start the season,” his father explains.

“There’s no point in him returning to the OHL. He isn’t going to develop any further there.”

Islanders’ AHL affiliate is Bridgeport (Connecticut) Sound Tigers.

“He’ll likely be called up (by Islanders) at some point anyway depending on his play and injuries,” Bill predicts.

“He’s young. He’s still learning.”

Calvin, 20, was taken by Oshawa in the third round of the 2007 OHL Priority Selection, 50th overall. That’s 10 places below where brother Evan was chosen in this year’s draft.

Mind you Calvin hasn’t done badly for himself!

He opted to play for the expansion Kemptville 73’s of the then Central Junior Hockey League (now CCHL) in 2007.

The unheralded young defenceman led 73’s in scoring with 42 points in 58 games and walked away with the league ‘Rookie

of the Year’ award.

The next season (2008-2009) Calvin moved up to Oshawa where he had a sensational campaign. He scored 63 points including 55 assists while appearing in all 68 games for Generals.

His outstanding play prompted Islanders to trade up, making him the 12th overall selection in the 2009 NHL entry draft. He returned to Oshawa in the fall of 2009 where his season ended early (January 2010) due to a shoulder injury which required surgery.

After playing for Isles during training camp and the NHL pre-season in the fall of 2010 he was returned to Oshawa for more seasoning. He was named team captain and helped lead Gens to their first playoff berth in three years. Calvin, a set-up man, recorded 48 points including 42 assists in 55 games for Oshawa.

Generals won their quarter final playoff set in five games over Kingston Frontenacs last spring but fell to Niagara IceDogs in five during the semi-finals.

Calvin, who signed a three-year contract with Islanders prior to last season, played for Team Canada at the past two World Junior Hockey Championships, taking home silver medals from each tournament.

As mentioned, he is widely expected to make a strong case for a permanent place on the Long Island club’s roster. The NHL season begins in early October.

Evan has far more moderate statistics thus far. But he had a strong season with Ottawa Valley Titans Minor Midgets (AAA), leading to his unexpectedly early pick in the OHL draft.

Cooler weather calls for hot meals like Cassoulet

Invites you to join in the celebration Sept 30, Oct 1 & 2, 2011 CELEBRATING ARTS & CULTURE FROM COAST TO COAST

SMITHS FALLS CULTURE DAYS

EMC Lifestyle - Cassoulet is a traditional dish that comes from France. It’s made with a mixture of meats that are cooked with white beans, vegetables and seasonings to make a wonderful stew that’s full of flavour.

This recipe is a lighter version of the original French dish which calls for a pound of bacon, a pound of sausage, and either duck or goose. I’ve adapted it by using smaller amounts of bacon and sausage, and substituting chicken for the duck.

Cassoulet requires about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to cook in the oven as the beans have to absorb the liquid.

I use the quick way of preparing the dried Navy beans rather than soaking them overnight.

To do this, measure the dried beans into a saucepan, and cover well with water. Boil for 2 minutes, then cover the pan, and let sit for 2 hours. Drain and rinse the beans, then they’re ready to use.

Cassoulet 1 1/2 cups dry white Navy beans 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, chopped 1 carrot, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces 1 cup diced Polish or garlic sausage 3 slices peameal bacon, cooked and diced 4 tomatoes, canned or fresh, cut up 2 tbsp. chopped parsley 1 tsp. thyme at least 2 cups of water 3 envelopes of chicken bouillon powder To make this dish, you’ll need either one very large ovenproof casserole, or two smaller ones.

Cook the dry beans as described above. Drain them, and set them aside while you prepare the other ingredients.

In a large frying pan, heat the oil. Add the garlic, onion, carrot and celery. Cook until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Combine the vegetables with the prepared beans, the chicken, bacon, sausage, tomatoes and seasonings.

Combine 2 cups of water with the chicken bouillon powder.

You may need to add more water to ensure that the beans are completely covered, particularly if you use two baking dishes.

If you’re using one large dish, spoon all the ingredients, including the liquid, into the dish.

If you’re using two baking dishes, combine all of the prepared ingredients, except the liquid, in a large mixing bowl.

From the mixing bowl, spoon an equal amount of the bean mixture into each baking dish.

Pour half of the liquid into each dish. Add more water, if needed, to cover the beans completely.

Cover the dish with either a lid or aluminum foil. It’s a good idea to place a pan in the oven under the casserole to catch any liquid that might boil over.

Bake at 350F for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the beans are tender.

Serves 4-6.

The night the Parliament buildings burned – with the members still inside!

Moments In Time

By CHRIS MUST Staff Writer

This painting by Joseph Légaré depicts the burning of the Parliament buildings of the Province of Canada in Montreal on April 25, 1849. A bill to compensate participants in the 1837 rebellions with taxpayer’s money enraged the loyalists who had fought against the rebels. in March 1849. The bill still required royal assent, to be given by provincial governor Lord Elgin on April 25. Montreal’s English population was enraged. When Lord Elgin left the legislature he was accosted.

In the words of The Montreal Gazette at the time: “When Lord Elgin – he no longer deserves the name of Excellency – made his appearance on the street to retire from the Council Cham-

ber, he was received by the crowd with hisses, hootings, and groans. He was pelted with rotten eggs; he and his aide-de-camps were splashed with the savory liquor; and the whole carriage covered with the nasty contents of the eggs and with mud. When the eggs were exhausted stones were made use of to salute the departing carriage, and he was driven off at a rapid gallop amidst the hootings and curses of his countrymen.”

The paper’s account of the incident also contained a summons to a protest meeting. A crowd of over 1,000 gathered around 8 p.m. on the Champ de Mars (a former military parade ground) and were whipped to a frenzy by orators who led them to the Parliament buildings. The crowd broke the windows of the House of Assembly, which was still in session despite the late hour.

EMC Lifestyle – No matter how frustrated today’s taxpayers and voters may become over the antics of their elected representatives, they have a long way to go before they reach the level of anger that was shown way back in 1849.

On April 25 of that year, the Parliament of the Province of Canada was burned down by rioters, while the members of the Legislative Assembly were actually meeting inside.

Before the Parliament buildings we know today were built in Ottawa between 1859 and 1866, the capital of the pre-Confederation “Province of Canada” was located first in Kingston, then in Montreal.

The Province of Canada was formed when the provinces of Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec) were united in 1841. The capital moved from Kingston to Montreal in 1844.

Starting in June of 1845, the Parliament of the Province of Canada met in Montreal’s St. Anne’s Market building. The dispute which led an angry mob to set fire to that building four years later stemmed from the rebellions which broke out in 1837 in both Up-

per and Lower Canada against the British government of the provinces. In 1849 the legislature was debating a controversial law enacted to compensate residents of Lower Canada who had lost property during the rebellion in that province.

What provoked an angry mob to take to the streets was the fact that “disloyal” citizens who had participated in the rebellion – unless they had been convicted of high treason – were to be compensated for their losses with taxpayers’ money.

Tory members of the legislature argued that the Rebellion Losses Bill was an insult to loyal citizens who had fought against the rebels. The debate became intense enough to provoke physical violence, with Kingston Tory representative (and future Canadian prime minister) John A. McDonald actually challenging executive councillor William Hume Blake to a duel. The two went outside to settle the matter.

The Speaker of the legislature sent his sergeant at arms out to stop them, and the duel was cancelled.

Despite Tory opposition, the Legislative Assembly passed the bill a month later,

ran for cover while the mob broke in and vandalized the building. Lit torches were thrown, which ignited coal gas (used to fuel gas lamps) leaking from broken pipes.

The fire spread rapidly. Rioters ran outside carrying the Speaker’s ceremonial mace.

Firefighters arrived, but the mob stopped them from fighting the flames.

The fire destroyed the Parliament’s two libraries, and part of the archives of Upper and Lower Canada, along with other public documents. Out of 23,000 books in the libraries, only about two – along with the portrait of Queen Victoria – were saved. The Queen’s portrait was rescued

by Sandford Fleming, who later became a renowed engineer – a community college in Peterborough was named for him.

A special police force was raised to control the rioting, which lasted for several days.

The capital of the Province of Canada was moved to Toronto, where it finally reconvened on May 14, 1850. While proBritish residents of Canada didn’t approve of the violence in Montreal, their sympathies were clearly on the side of those who had rioted: governor Lord Elgin’s name was struck from the members lists of two charitable societies after the members voted to expel him.

Greening aims to build on memorable season

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Already, it’s been the kind of year Colin Greening won’t soon forget.

His first National Hockey League game, first NHL goal, a Calder Cup championship ... the Ottawa Senators forward couldn’t have asked for much more in his initial foray into professional hockey.

But to hear the 25-yearold Newfoundlander tell it, he’s already turned the page on all of that and has his eyes firmly pointed toward the next step in his burgeoning young career.

“I thought I was very fortunate to be up for 24 games last year, but that was last year,” said Greening, a 6-3, 211-pound forward. “With a new season comes a new set of challenges and hurdles to get over. It’s all part of coming to camp. The prospect of potentially making the team out of camp is very exciting for me. I hope it happens for me, but that’s up to me right now. It depends on how I play in camp.”

Given the fact he inked a three-year, one-way contract with the team in May, Greening most likely has a place on the team’s roster

Colin Greening is hoping to build upon the 24 games worth of NHL experience he picked up last season, along with the Binghamton Senators’ run to the Calder Cup crown (Photo by Andre Ringuette/NHLI via Getty Images). and should be in the lineup when Ottawa opens its season Oct. 7 in Detroit against the Red Wings. Indeed, it might be said the native of St. John’s has gone from longshot — Greening was a seventh-round pick (204th overall) in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft — to potential mainstay in a huge hurry.

Still, Greeening intends to maintain the same diligent mindset that got him where he is today. He is taking nothing for granted in training camp, even if the one-way deal should give him a new sense of security about his immediate future.

“Last year, when I went into camp, it was (about)

learning and trying to build up my confidence,” said Greening. “I feel like this year, my confidence is a little bit higher, but what still remains is learning the system and trying to play the games as quick as possible.

You look at it and there are guys here who have been pros for more than 10 years and I’ve only played one full professional season.

“So I’m still in the learning stage now. When I come into camp, I want to build on the confidence I built up last year and also keep learning so I can become a better player. If I do that, it’ll help me and increase my chances of making the team out of camp.”

The 24 games he played in a series of callups to Ottawa last season accelerated his growth curve, to be sure. Greening figures he’s quite a ways ahead of the game because of it.

“It was incredible for me,

Sens enhancing fan experience at Scotiabank Place grills at all concession stands around the building, as well as several other new menu items at Scotiabank Place restaurants.

A revamped Sens Store, powered by Reebok, with almost 1,800 square feet of retail space (three times larger than last season) will be open to fans.

This new store will feature products from around the National Hockey League, boasting more than 100 new merchandise items for this season.

final against the Houston Aeros, it was an astounding ride.

“That was a special run we had last year and everything just seemed to click at the right moment,” said Greening. “I was talking with a number of guys this summer who we skated against, with it was from Hershey, Bridgeport or wherever, and they said ‘wow, you guys just all came together at the right moment.’ And we only clinched the playoff (berth) with about three games left to play. Then we all came back (from Ottawa) and we just clicked.

“It was neat to go through the playoffs and experience the ups and downs of playoff hockey and realize how tough it is and how well you have to play to get a championship. I think going through that experience last year will help me going into this season.”

Scotiabank Place has also received a facelift, with new 20th anniversary-inspired signage on the front of the main gates, as well as player collages at both the Gate 2 and Gate 3 fan entrances.

All of the new menu items and renovations to the building will be completed prior to the Senators’ regular-season homeopener on Tuesday, Oct. 11, when they host the Minnesota Wild at 7:30 p.m.

The Ottawa Senators are adding a number of enhancements to the fan experience at Scotiabank Place for the 201112 season.

In addition to a focus on affordable ticket packages and family-friendly entertainment, the Senators have made a number of changes to their food service, ranging from new egg rolls to gourmet burgers.

an incredible experience to be put into those situations and to play against top notch, top calibre players,” he said. “Just to see how the guys on the Sens and throughout the entire league conduct themselves and how professional they are and how seriously they take it … it is a business and you have to bring your ‘A’ game to every single game.

“It was amazing to see, and to be able to get my timing down and play against those really skilled players was definitely helpful for me in my development” So, too, was the crucible of playoff pressure Greening experienced with the Binghamton Senators last spring.

Several area players invited to Team East camp in Kanata for World Junior A Challenge

By JEFF MAGUIRE

IIHF challenge tournament.

The United States has won the past three events including the 2010 tournament played in Penticton, B.C. Team Canada East were last year’s runnersup, taking home silver medals.

Team Canada West captured the first two ventures, also played in western Canada, in 2006 and 2007.

The Canada East evaluation camp opened Sunday at Bell Sensplex in Kanata and concludes today (Thursday).

Of the 60 players invited to take part, 20 are from the CCHL based in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. Also included were 26 players from the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL), based mainly in Central Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area.

The remaining participants included six players from the Ligue de Hockey Junior AAA du Québec (LHJAAAQ), four from the Maritime Junior A Hockey League and four from the Northern Ontario Junior A Hockey League.

There were a total of six goaltenders, 18 defencemen and 26 forwards. They were split into three separate teams (Red, Black and White) for a series of intra-squad games along with daily practice sessions.

Five of the invitees, including three members of Cornwall Colts of the CCHL, took part in the 2010 World Junior A Challenge. Two others, forward Chris King of Stittsville who plays for Pembroke Lumber Kings of the CCHL and forward Darcy Murphy from Wellington Dukes of the OJHL, played in last spring’s Royal Bank Cup (RBC) Canadian Junior A championship tournament in Camrose, Alberta. Pembroke captured their first-ever national title last May 8 defeating two-time defending champion Vernon (B.C.) Vipers in the final.

Cornwall, last year’s CCHL runners-up, led the league in camp invitations with four while Hawkesbury Hawks and Ottawa Junior Senators each had three players selected. Pembroke, Carleton Place, Nepean Raiders and Cumberland Grads each had two athletes at the camp while Smiths Falls and Kemptville each sent one player. The only CCHL teams not represented were Kanata Stallions, Gloucester Rangers and Brockville Braves.

EMC Sports - Sixty of the top Junior A hockey prospects in eastern Canada were in Kanata this week to take part in an evaluation camp for the Canada East team that will compete in the sixth annual World Junior A Challenge tournament in November.

Among them were two players from Carleton Place Canadians and one each from Smiths Falls Bears and Kemptville 73’s. All three clubs are members of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) Tier 1 Junior A. The Carleton Place players selected are goalie Joe Yetman and defenceman Christian Weidauer. Smiths Falls’ netminder Mackenzie Sawyer and Kemptville defenceman Ben Hutton also took part in the camp.

The World Junior A Challenge, which has been held in Canada every fall since 2006, is sponsored by Hockey Canada, the Canadian Junior Hockey League and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). This year’s showdown takes place in Langley, British Columbia (a suburb of Vancouver) Nov. 7-13.

Two Canadian teams (east and west) and four international squads compete in the

Maple Leafs’ great Bobby Baun). All are forwards and they were all part of last year’s Canada East squad at the World Challenge. Also selected to tryout this year is Colts’ forward Connor Primeau.

Hawkesbury was represented by defencemen Holden Anderson and Jesse Lussier and forward Stephen Hrehoriak, a Stittsville native. The Ottawa players were forwards Deric Boudreau, Conor Brown and Dalen Hedges.

Pembroke sent forwards King and Swann Boisvert, Nepean was represented by blueliner Ryan Johnston and forward Keenan Hodgson while Cumberland had defenceman Kevin Lough and forward Eric Clitsome at the camp.

Evaluating the players were the Canada East coaching staff headed by Curtis Hodgins and including assistants Jason Nobili and Greg Walters. All three men coach teams in the

OJHL. Just 22 players will ultimately be selected to suit up for Team Canada East at the November tournament in B.C. “This is a tremendous group of talented players we’ve invited to camp,” said head coach Hodgins, prior to the Kanata evaluation sessions.

“As a coaching staff we are excited to get to Kanata and work at building on last year’s silver medal performance.”

Team Canada East will play in Group B at the upcoming challenge event. They will be joined by Russia and the Czech Republic. Group A will include the three-time defending champion U.S. along with Team Canada West and Sweden.

Team Canada East has appeared in three of the five gold medal games at the World Junior A Challenge.

They claimed silver at Yorkton, Saskatchewan in 2006, in

Trail B.C. the following year and last year in Penticton.

The team won bronze at the 2008 tournament in Camrose and finished fourth in 2009 at Summerside, Prince Edward Island.

Round-robin play begins Monday, Nov. 7 and concludes Nov. 9. The semi-final games will take place Friday, Nov. 11 with the gold medal game set for Sunday, Nov. 13. The final will be shown nationally on TSN/RDS, the official television broadcasters of Hockey Canada. Check local listings for the game time!

Get acquainted with your well most common types of vulnerable water supplies are: below-grade wells, including well pits and buried wells, where the top of the well casing is below ground level, are highly vulnerable to contamination from natural gas build-up, vermin and the surface water that can collect and drain into them.

Cisterns, which are reservoirs used to collect and store water, pose risks because they contain surface water and otherwise untreated water.

Tip: Never use an old well as a cistern, as contaminants from rain water or tile drains will eventually reach groundwater.

Groundwater springs, where the water table meets

the earth’s surface, may easily be exposed to contaminants from human activities nearby, and the water may only have been in the ground for a short time.

Surface water trench systems, also known as shore wells, pose risks to human health if water is untreated (e.g., from rivers or lakes, or from structures that indirectly collect surface water).

Tip: All untreated surface water is unfit for human consumption. If you think your water supply may be “highly vulnerable”, don’t use it, if at all possible. Try to find alternatives. If you can’t, make sure you test your water, treat it (see Information Sheet, Choosing a Water Treatment System), and consider relocating your

well.

A rule-of-thumb for assessing the risk of problems with well water quality: • The deeper the well…

The longer it takes surface water to enter the well…

The lower the risk of contamination.

• The risk of contamination also decreases the farther away the well is from potential sources of contamination.

Testing your Well Water Testing your well water for bacterial contamination is a smart way to monitor the quality of your well. Wells should be tested at least twice a year and additionally after times of heavy rain.

Sample bottles are provided free of charge to homeown-

ers with private wells at any of our Health Unit offices located in Smiths Falls, Brockville, Kemptville and Gananoque. Sample bottles are also available at the following municipal offices: Athens, Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley, Edwardsburg/Cardinal, Elizabethtown/Kitley, Lanark Highlands, Leeds and the 1000 Islands, MerrickvilleWolford, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth, Rideau Lakes and Tay Valley, Westport. Water samples bottles must be returned to any health unit office from Monday to Thursday. Water testing takes place at our public health laboratories in Kingston and Ottawa. For specific office information and hours please visit our website at

www.healthunit.org.

If you suspect that your water may be bacteriologically unsafe for drinking we recommend using an alternate safe source of water until you have three consecutive satisfactory samples taken a week apart. This can confirm the safety of your well water.

If you require help interpreting your water sample please feel free to consult with our website at www. healthunit.org or by calling the Health ACTION Line at 1-800-660-5853 or 613345-5685 and speaking with a Public Health Inspector.

EMC Lifestyle - If you live in a rural area, chances are your family’s daily water supply comes from a well on your property. If you haven’t already, get acquainted with your well. It’s the first step in doing everything you can to protect the quality of your well water and the groundwater we all share. As a well owner and someone who wants to ensure the water your family is drinking is safe, you need to properly maintain your well to prevent it from being damaged, cracked or contaminated.

Contaminants or foreign materials should never have access to your well. When it comes to wells, think watertight!

Columnist ventures inside the minds of people This Week’s Pets EMC Lifestyle- A month ago I wrote a column about venturing into the minds of animals.

But because we are continually bombarded with the question, “What is wrong with people?”, and the phrase, “It’s your problem now”, I’ve opted to venture inside the minds of people. At the shelter there has been a period of the good the bad and the indifferent, not to be confused with the epic spaghetti western film directed by Sergio Leone, The good the bad and the ugly - though I could borrow the movie title, I shall refrain.

We talk to many people throughout our workday and it is through these conversations that we get a glimpse into the minds of people. And it is to these people I’m going to write individual, short letters all in one go.

To the very angry man who arrived on our doorstep from a great distance away with a lost Bloodhound: You entered the shelter with a growling and frightened dog even though there is a sign posted telling people to not bring strange animals into the shelter. When you were told we cannot accept animals from outside of Lanark County, you threatened to take the dog out to the highway, remove its leash and abandon it. With that you had us cornered. You barked at us that this dog was now our problem. We named your problem, Charlotte. I wish to tell you this dog is no problem at all, she is good-natured and gentle; we will find her a home.

To the angry man who arrived at our door before we were open and had already started to yell at me before I could unlock said door: Your expletives fell on deaf ears.

You proceeded to inform me that the creature stored in the

box you dropped at my feet, had left a trail of filth and excrement on your balcony. “It’s your problem now,” said you upon your angry departure and you sped away in your truck leaving me standing in a swirl of dust. I opened the box not knowing what to expect. Inside was a little cat, clean and well groomed, healthy and only a little confused. We have named her Eloise. She is not a problem at all, she is good-natured and gentle; we will find her a home.

To the very kind gentleman who took time out from his roofing job to bring us a little badly injured, barely alive, five-week old black kitten: Thank you for your kindness, we will always remember it.

We gently wrapped the kitten, who we named Polly, in a warm fleece blanket and held her carefully and lovingly. She died not too long after you left, maybe 10 or 15 minutes. But at least she didn’t have to die on the cold dirt under the bushes where you had found her; your kind heart brought her to us.

To the people who said they would love to adopt a dog even though they knew they wouldn’t train it properly because they didn’t have the skills (or perhaps the interest), but you wanted your kids to enjoy the experience of pet ownership: To adopt an animal, whether it be a dog, cat or rabbit or guinea pig, is a large responsibility. You need to invest the time, the money, the patience and the training hours to make the adoption successful. Thank you for your honesty – intentional or not – but we will not adopt a dog out to your family.

There will be problems.

To the indifferent people or person who abandoned the very old and frail Chihuahua: Her appalling physical condi-

tion led us to believe she was a puppy mill prisoner. She was found wandering down a dirt road – no collar, no microchip – completely blind and shaking with cold and fear. She was of no more use to you so you abandoned her. Shame on you.

She had become your problem, but she is no problem to us. We named her Evita, she needed an honourable, beautiful name.

She is living out her days in a foster home where she is nurtured and loved and has a wonderful wardrobe of tiny little sweaters and coats to keep her frail body warm.

To the indifferent people or person who abandoned their dog who came to us courtesy two very thoughtful men who found her wandering down the highway: We surmised you missed noticing the huge, painful and bleeding tumours on her belly – one so large it nearly touched the ground when she walked. She is not a young dog but she is a sweet dog – you may have forgotten. We named her Queenie. You left her to die.

And lastly, to the people or persons who bagged up five newborn kittens in a garbage bag, knotted the opening (like they could have crawled out) and left them by the side of the road: Their pitiful cries were heard right through that garbage bag by a young woman out for her daily run.

Your indifference, your “bad” was eradicated by the kindness of the young woman and her sister who brought the kittens to our shelter. Two in the bag were dead. The remaining three, whom we called Winkin, Blinkin and Nod, were placed with nursing mom cats in our

Kitten Nursery. Dear mom cats washed them thoroughly (what had you soaked them with, indifferent person?), and they began to nurse. But all the efforts failed. One by one they died.

To all the “bad” and “indifferent”: You are outnumbered by the “good”, some of their stories are intertwined with yours by sheer coincidence.

To the “good” we are thankful, you too understand the lost, abandoned and abused are no problem.

Due to the high numbers in our shelter we have decided to reduce our adoption fees through to the end of September. Please know that anyone interested in adopting must fill out an adoption application as any other time. It will be carefully reviewed and the right family or person will be approved to adopt. A reduction in price does not mean we will sway from diligence or make any hurried decisions. The fees are as follows: kittens, $100 or a buddy pair for $125, cats $85, adult dogs over six months of age $185 and puppies six months and younger, $200.

News Bites LAWS Gently Used Book Sale, County Fair Mall, the last week of September and the first week of October. We will be located next to Zellers where We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that the Garage Sale, Car Wash and BBQ held at Kingsway Arms at Carleton Place Manor Retirement Home in Carleton Place raised $1032.62! This will buy lots of canned cat food and dog food.

Many thanks from all of us at the shelter – the staff and all the cats, kittens, puppies and dogs.

Wish List

Additional cats and dogs means additional laundry so we’re in need of towels and blankets to make up clean beds and dish cloths and smaller towels for doing dishes and drying cleaned litter boxes. We are also in need of High Efficiency laundry detergent, bleach and dishwashing soap.

We would like to thank the people who were so generous this week and brought in canned cat and dog food. The need remains ongoing so we can give the canned food breakfast that warms our residents’ tummies and gives them comfort.

This Week’s Pets

Poker is a seven year old, beige Shih Tsu cross who has been neutered. Poker is great on leash, and loves to walk. It is recommended that he be adopted out to a family with older children because he is very sensitive toward small children.

He’s full of personality and is very pretty.

Rosco is a two-year old Mastiff cross who came to us in September. Rosco has great leash skills and is a fast learner.

He will need to continue with his training on proper feeding techniques because of his issue with food. This is a great skill to have with any dog because it gives the owner a chance to show the dog who is alpha. We are teaching this to Rosco at the shelter so that he is better prepared for his forever home.

Sweetums is one beautiful cat; he’s rather large but not overweight and by his sweet nature and gentle approach when interacting with people, we know he hadn’t been “lost” for long. It’s rather sad to watch him gaze out the window, not at the birds and squirrels, but seemingly with longing as he watches every car that passes by.

Skidaddle is a wonderful clown. He interacts fabulously with people, shows no fear and yet is not aggressive. His colouring is white with brown tabby markings, referred to as Harlequin. Skidaddle is only one year old and, though healthy and happy, needs a permanent home.

Lanark Animal Welfare Society is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kms west of Smiths Falls. The shelter is open Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Write to us at P.O. Box 156, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 or contact us at 613-283-9308, fax 613-283-0982 or email at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca. Visit our website at www.lanarkanimals.ca.

No good vibrations coming from this fob EMC Lifestyle - “Hello Brian, I have a 2005 Pontiac Vibe. A few weeks ago as I was leaving for Toronto while visiting friends in the Peterborough area, I came out to discover that the key fob door lock release wasn’t working. I tried the key in both front door locks and the tailgate but they would not budge. Being rushed for time, and not having brought my second key fob with me, I called the nearest GM dealer and they suggested replacing the battery. I borrowed my friend’s bicycle and pedaled several blocks in the 35 degree C temperature and did so. The key fob still did not work and I had to call a local garage to come and open the door for a $50 service fee.

While in Toronto I left the doors unlocked because of my fear of getting locked out. The next day I went to the local dealer and had the key fob checked; they reported it wasn’t broadcasting. The replacement charge was $110. To have it “programmed” for my car, being a very technical and highly skilled job, a $50 fee is required. I de-

clined to replace it while travelling and have yet to do so. Any insights you can make would be appreciated as to the normal life of key fobs and why the key would not work, which I have always assumed is the backup and failsafe option. Note that upon my return home I unlocked the car with the backup key fob and then the key would work in all the locks. Why did the failure of the key fob freeze all the locks? Is six years the normal life for these hand units? Is not the cost of replacement, especially to program them another example of dealer gouging? With a new battery, why would it not broadcast? Can the “inards” be checked? As I had opened it to replace the battery, I may have disturbed something. Someone said they thought key fobs need reprogramming when you change the battery – is this true? Is the dealer the only place to purchase the key fob? Sincerely, Frustrated in Lanark County Like most vehicles, the Pontiac Vibe’s keyless remote entry system and manual locks work inde-

Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

pendently. The only connection points between the two systems are electric switches or solenoids on each door latch (that activate the lock) and the only way the remote system could ‘freeze’ the mechanical lock cylinders would be if the fob was constantly sending a lock signal to the vehicle.

In my 35 plus years in the business, I’ve never heard of this happening. What is more likely is that the lock cylinders, having never or seldom been used with a key during the car’s life, and probably never having been lubricated, simply seized.

But Frustrated isn’t alone: most owners of vehicles with remote entry systems seldom use their keys in the door locks and that’s just fine with me (repair garages love work). Key fob remotes being electrical are as dependable as light bulbs: some seem

to work forever, others need constant replacement. They also work in very tough environments.

They are constantly being dropped, submerged in puddles, cycled through washing machines, and chewed on by pets and toddlers alike. Getting six years out of one isn’t bad.

When it comes to pricing, remember it’s the manufacturer, not the retailer who sets the MSRP, and $110 is average among carmakers for a key fob remote.

However you can buy them from other sources. A U.S. based web retailer (www.autotransponder.com) lists a new Pontiac Vibe remote for $45 (US) and $36 for a used one. Their site even includes instructions on how to program a remote yourself. A worn battery is only one problem a remote might have that would stop it from transmitting a signal. The

printed circuit board inside can also be the cause, but it’s only replaceable as part of the entire transmitter fob.

Best advice I can give is to: A) Rotate the use of the fobs (if you have two or more) to extend the working life of the set.

B) Replace the batteries at least every two years (they’re easily tested with a multi-meter and should put out 3 volts).

C) Use the key in the door lock from time to time and make sure the locks are lubricated with

a small squirt of graphite lock lubricant every 6 months or so.

Blue Wings sweep Fall Classic games; Thunder record win and tie burg Lions (St. Lawrence) over Stittsville 5-3 and Metcalfe bouncing Char-Lan 9-3.

Arnprior opened the tournament Friday evening with a 4-4 overtime draw against Westport.

In the other Friday night games it was Ottawa West downing Morrisburg 3-1, Metcalfe over South Grenville 5-3 while Ottawa doubled Athens 4-2.

Here are summaries of some of the Valley Division results in the season-opening extravaganza.

Perth 6 – Gananoque 4: Blue Wings completed a perfect fall classic weekend Sunday thanks in part to veteran goalie Jeremy Wright. He turned aside 36 shots as the Rideau Division Islanders held a 40-35 lead in scoring chances. Perth, who held period leads of 3-1 and 5-3, got a pair of first period goals from Brett Madigan while Riley Kane, Jimmy Pearson, Corey Drisdelle and Blair Barr had the others. Bryar Hill struck twice for Gananoque while Mason Mangan had a goal and two assists. A chippy second period saw 13 penalties assessed.

Stittsville 4 – Winchester 4: Royals salvaged a point from the weekend competition by battling last season’s St. Lawrence Division champions Winchester to a 4-4 overtime tie. Will Fraser’s second goal of the game just past the midway mark of the third and Dan Guolla’s powerplay marker two minutes later erased a 4-2 Hawks’ advantage. The real hero of the game was Royals’ goalie Matt McCaughan.

He frustrated Winchester all afternoon Sunday, kicking out 44 shots as Hawks held a big 48-26 shots on goal advantage.

Hawks’ line of Graham Loyst, Ramsay Wheeler and Brock Burge accounted for nine scoring points. Loyst had two goals and an assist while Wheeler connected once and set up a pair. Burge set up three.

Almonte 7 – Brockville 3: The Valley Division Thunder dominated the Rideau Division Tikis in this one leading 3-0 and 5-1 at the intervals.

Almonte, who finished the fall classic with three of a possible four points, got two goals each from Aaron MacCosham and Andrew Rowbotham. Derek Lowry, Matt Soubliere and Tyler Ollson had the others. Thunder outshot Brockville 50-31.

Ben Brayman connected twice in a losing cause for Tikis who were badly beaten in both of their weekend outings.

Morrisburg 5 – Stittsville 3: Royals, who missed the Valley Division playoffs last season, dropped their opener, surrendering three unanswered goals in the third period to the St. Lawrence Division Lions. Morrisburg goalie Mikael Dion was a major factor, kicking out 35 shots as Stittsville held a 38-37 shots advantage. Matt Ouimet had a goal and an assist to lead the winners. Royals got singles from Dan Guolla, veteran Matt Kadolph and a late tally from Justin Mayo to make the final score closer. Erik Miksik was between the pipes for Stittsville and he suffered the loss.

Arnprior 2 – Gananoque 1: Packers got a shorthanded goal from Parker Davies in the third period and survived the excellent goaltending of former teammate Christian Mastromattei (he made 40 saves) to edge the Rideau Division Islanders. Arnprior finished the

weekend event with three of a possible four points. The teams fought through a scoreless first with making it 1-0 Packers on a powerplay near the midway mark of period two. Gananoque tied it on Bryar Hill’s powerplay strike with 2:03 left in the middle stanza. Arnprior outshot their opponents 42-25 with Mike Cheslock the winning goalie.

Perth 4 – Westport 1: Twotime Valley regular season pennant winners Perth eased past Westport Rideaus in their opener Saturday afternoon, making it a winning debut for new coach and general manager Hamish Fraser of Carleton Place behind

the bench. Blue Wings held period leads of 2-1 and 3-1 and out shot Rideaus 31-23. Veterans Tanner Knight, Blair Barr and Dan Weir all had goals along with newcomer Brett Madigan.

Chris Rutley had an unassisted first period tally for Westport.

Jeremy Wright made 22 saves for the net minding victory.

Almonte 3 – Akwesasne 3: Like Arnprior the previous night, Thunder also ended up in a tie in their season opener Saturday morning, this time against Akwesasne Wolves of the St. Lawrence Division. Almonte trailed 2-0 after a pair of goals by Wolves’ Dillon Barr.

But they got on the board near

the midway mark of the second on Ty Whitelock’s marker.

Thunder outscored their opponents 2-1 the rest of the way but needed a late tally from veteran Derek Lowry, with 23 seconds left and goalie Troy Anderson on the bench for sixth attacker, to force overtime. The extra period decided nothing. Connor Wall had the other goal for Thunder while veteran Aaron MacCosham rang up two assists.

Arnprior 4 – Westport 4: Packers tied their opener against perennial Rideau Division contenders Westport Rideaus Friday night. Three second period goals earned Arnprior a

point. They trailed 2-1 after 20 minutes and the third period was scoreless as was the fiveminute overtime. Two-time Valley scoring champion Taylor Collins was in on three of the goals, netting once and setting up a pair. Patrick Dick, Parker Davies and Casey Doner had one each for Packers while Nik Terpak and Darrin Germann had a goal and an assist apiece to lead Westport. Arnprior held a 40-34 shots edge.

By JEFF MAGUIRE EMC Sports - Two games in the same venue on the same weekend for every team in the league. That was the scenario Sept. 16-18 as the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) staged its second annual season-opening ‘Fall Classic’ tournament in Kemptville.

The four-division, 22-team Junior B league is seeking to emulate the success of the Tier 1 Junior A Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) which opens every campaign in the same fashion. The annual CCHL Showcase was played in Kanata Sept. 9-11.

While some teams had a great jump start to the campaign, others left Kemptville off the back of two straight defeats.

Perth Blues Wings were the big winners in the six-team Valley Division winning both their games against Rideau Division opposition. Arnprior Packers and Almonte Thunder both finished with three points, tying their openers and winning their second games. Summaries of those clashes appear below!

Meanwhile defending Valley champion Renfrew Timberwolves split their contests, Stittsville Royals had a tie and a loss (read below) while Shawville Pontiacs were winless in their two starts.

Four of the five teams in the Metro Division finished 1-1.

Defending division and EOJHL champion Clarence Creek Beavers, Ottawa West Golden Knights, Ottawa Junior Canadians and Gatineau Mustangs split their tournament games.

The top finisher in the Metro was Metcalfe Jets who won both of their outings.

Teams from the Metro-Valley Conference took on clubs from the Rideau-St. Lawrence conference during the event which is a break from the usual regular season tradition. Prior to the advent of the Fall Classic, Metro and Valley clubs played an interlocking schedule but did not face Rideau or St. Lawrence teams, except during the league playoffs. The interlocking conference schedules continue however.

All games in the Fall Classic were played at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville.

Sunday’s results saw Casselman Vikings of the St. Lawrence Division edge Gatineau Mustangs from the Metro 4-3, Alexandria Glens (St. Lawrence) defeated Ottawa West by the same score while Athens Aeros (Rideau) downed Shawville 9-4.

In other Sunday games it was Almonte over Brockville Tikis (Rideau) 7-3, Renfrew cruised past Char-Lan Rebels (St. Lawrence) 3-1, Stittsville tied Winchester Hawks (St. Lawrence) 4-4, Perth defeated Gananoque Islanders (Rideau) 6-4 while, in the final game of the weekend, Clarence Creek blasted Akwesasne Wolves (St. Lawrence) 10-2.

Saturday’s results saw Almonte tie Akwesasne 3-3, Alexandria belted Renfrew 7-2, Winchester Hawks (St. Lawrence) downed Clarence and Perth dumped Westport Rideaus (Rideau) by identical 4-1 scores.

Also Saturday it was Gatineau embarrassing Brockville 16-3, South Grenville Rangers (Rideau) stopping Shawville 6-4, Casselman downing Ottawa 4-1, Arnprior edging Gananoque 2-1, Morris-

Variety is the best word to describe what visitors to the Discovery Tour in North Gower and Kars found when the event marked its 15th anniversary Sept. 10 and 11. This year’s annual Discovery Tour, featured 32 participants at 17 stops and covered an area of 16 kilometres by 14 kilometres.

Children’s organization requests town support

By STACEY ROY Staff Writer

EMC News - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS) is asking the town for $7,500 a year to continue its work of mentoring at-risk youth in Smiths Falls.

Robin Heald, resource development manager at BBBS, made the request during this week’s council session. The organization is seeking $7,500 a year for three years “to help us continue to grow in how we’re meeting the needs” of the 105 Smiths Falls children it helped last year.

BBBS provides mentoring programs for at-risk children in the hopes of encouraging them to continue on with their studies and be productive members of society.

Mayor Dennis Staples asked Heald to submit a formal request in writing for their upcoming 2012 budget discussions, while councillor Shawn Pankow asked what had changed since the last

ferent types of people,” Heald said.

The delegate told councilors that their numbers in Lanark County have tripled in the last four years with a total of 273 children mentored in 2010 and 105 of those coming directly from homes in Smiths Falls. The organization’s efforts in providing a variety of programming to the Smiths Falls Littles has meant an investment of more than $100,000 last year. However, Heald said studies have shown an investment in mentoring and other prevention work will result in an estimated cost savings for social services of seven times above what has been invested.

“They are more likely than regular peers to go on to post secondary,” Heald said.

BBBS has been providing positive mentors for Lanark County youth for 38 years.

Hospital renovation nears completion

By STACEY ROY Staff Writer

EMC News - Hospital staff at the Smiths Falls site will soon be able to unpack their boxes for good with the two-year rejuvenation project nearing an end.

“We’re anticipating sometime in December we’ll be completed the project. We’re getting closer to the finish line now,” confirmed Todd Stepanuik, president and CEO of the hospital.

By approximately Oct. 17 the current phase of the $43 million redevelopment project will be complete and work will begin to finish exterior work and move all departments back to their permanent homes in a two-phased approach.

In Phase 3b (which begins Oct. 17) the ambulance canopy will be completed as will the emergency parking lot paving and the exterior facing of the building. Inside the health care facility a lot of shifting will be taking place, including the entire 1969 wing. On the ground level the laboratory will be moving to its new home, while the new chapel space will be established on the main floor.

“It’s really going to be a private place for people to go and pray and spend some quiet time,” Stepanuik said.

“That’s going to be really key for us.”

The remainder of the medical surgical beds will be moved in on the second floor and administrative offices

such as health and safety and infection control will move in on the main floor.

This massive shift is expected to last a week giving way to the final phase - phase 3C - when stores and maintenance services move back on site. The kitchen will also be completed in this phase that begins Oct. 24. Other departments such as physiotherapy and speech will be welcomed into their new space in this phase as well. The level of celebration at the sight of completion is palatable at the local hospital.

“It’s phenomenally exciting, “ Stepanuik added. “Everybody takes a great degree of pride” in the new building.

Plans for a formal community celebration of the renovation project’s completion will begin this season with details to be announced in the coming weeks.

“We’ll definitely do something,” Stepanuik promises.

History The multi-million dollar redevelopment project began in 2009 to provide 58,000 square feet of new space in a brighter and highly efficient work environment.

Demolition of the 1904 wing began in November 2008 following a formal ground-breaking ceremony.

Construction on the new wing commenced at the site in spring of 2009. This project represents the largest redevelopment project in the hospital’s 100-year history.

Work on the exterior of the Smiths Falls hospital site will likely be complete by the end of next month. At this point the hospital will begin the process of moving into the new space and finish up loose ends.

BBBS presentation earlier in the year when no funding request was made. Heald’s answer was simple: Katimavik left town.

“They mentored a significant number of children. It’s going to be quite a hit in our numbers,” she told councilors.

The organization does receive 10 per cent of its funding from the United Way of Lanark County, 20 per cent from the two Jewels stores it operates and the remainder from popular fundraisers like Bowl for Kids and Curl for Kids. These dollars go towards offering the diverse programs available and attracting volunteers.

Recruiting volunteers takes resources and funds. There are a number of ways to volunteer with BBBS, be it for 20 minutes over the lunch hour once a week; offering to teach skill to kids or becoming a full fledged BIG. “We’re looking for all dif-

Wooden busts celebrate hospital champions

CULTURE From front page

By STACEY ROY Staff Writer

EMC Lifestyle - The Smiths Falls hospital site will soon have a familiar pair of greeters when local carver, Robert Kerr, donates a wooden bust of Russ Beach and Dr. Archie Kerr.

“It would be really nice to have Russ and Archie standing side by side,” said Kerr. “It would be a knock out.”

The life-like image of Russ Beach immediately draws one’s attention when walking into any space. The piece is complete with eye glasses, combed-back hair and Beach’s often worn Canadian Owners and Pilots Association pin.

Kerr has been working on the piece for a full week and has just a little bit of tweaking before it’s complete.

“He knows by measurement that he’s got it, but he wants it right,” said his wife, Evelyn.

“I just like to get it so it satisfies me,” Kerr added.

This project is a new challenge for the accomplished chiseler who has made his name carving wild birds. The idea for the project came from Kerr’s wife, Evelyn who urged him to do something to support the Smiths Falls hospital site and the town.

“I’m more or less thinking of donating them to the hospital,” Kerr said.

He estimates the busts of both men will be completed in a couple of weeks after roughly 80 hours of labour. Kerr hopes to see the two pieces sitting on stands at the entrance to the hospital as a way to celebrate the contributions both men made.

“I think great men and great women should get recognition,” Kerr added. “They did so much for the hospital.”

Russ Beach Russ Beach and his family were dedicated contributors to the local hospital. In 1994 Mr. Beach donated $750,000 to renovate the Intensive Care

Above, Robert Kerr, local wood carver, records the measurements of Russ Beach’s wooden bust he created for the Smiths Falls Hospital site. There are some finishing touches needed for the piece, but Kerr anticipates he will be done this and a second bust of Dr. Archie Kerr within a couple of weeks. He plans to donate them to the hospital to celebrate the impact both men had on the local facility.

Unit (ICU). This is only one of countless donations made by the local businessman. Over the years the Beach family has purchased many items for the hospital, including: operating room tables and equipment for the urology department, monitors, defibrillators, crash carts and a donation to the helipad, which is still in use today. Last fall the hospital honoured these years of support and the generous donation to the ICU wing by re-dedicating the ICU to Beryl Beach.

“That gift was instrumental in the dream of revitalization of

the unit,” said Todd Stepanuik, CAO of the hospital during the re-dedication ceremony.

Dr. Archie Kerr Dr. Kerr was an incredible supporter of the place he worked. One of his biggest accomplishments was his role in bringing a CT Scan Unit to the hospital. His years in medicine and caring for patients in Smiths Falls told him adequate diagnostic equipment was needed in the area and he wanted it in Smiths Falls.

“He most definitely brought his passion to the forefront

about bringing CT Scan to the community,” Stepanuik said at the CT Scan Unit naming ceremony held last year.

He told the crowd of their regular conversations about the need for such equipment at the hospital. Thanks to his good work and dedication, hundreds of individuals have received diagnostic care closer to home and in a more timely fashion.

Robert Kerr knew the doctor well and is pleased to put his skills to work to applaud the achievements of these two great men. Robert Kerr has been a professional carver since 1975.

Arnel Pattemore will provide a truly unique exhibit and discussion on world exploration and the danger of traditional cultures disappearing.

“The world is getting smaller all the time,” he added. “We really do live in a world that’s changing rapidly and a world that is becoming very common.”

Through his travels to 120 countries over the years Pattemore has been exposed to many traditional cultures, but has also seen the impact Westernization has had on these traditions. He would like to see a balance of modernization in the way we live while maintaining the pride and life of traditional culture. Pattemore is looking forward to discussing these ideas with visitors while showing them his collection of world dolls and post cards.

The Oct. 2 celebration will also be the launch of the newly printed 30th anniversary edition of the Heritage House Museum cookbook, which will be available for sale in the gift shop during the garden party that day.

The following information comes from a zoning meeting and regular Council session held Monday, Sept. 19, 2011.

Firefighters agreement approved

The town approved a three-year collective agreement for the six full-time firefighters employed by Smiths Falls.

The agreement will run from 2010-2012. Firefighters have been working under their expired contract since December 2009. The new agreement will provide improved benefits and uniform replacement, as well as a three per cent increase each year of the three-year contract. A new element of the deal is recognition pay, which is over and above their regular salary. This will range from one to three per cent in 2010, two to six per cent in 2011 and three to nine per cent in 2012 based on years of service.

“I think this is the best possible conclusion,” councilor Jay Brennan said.

The agreement passed unanimously as it is in keeping with the industry standard.

Canal Railway festival date change

364951/0922

Councilor Dawn Quinn reported that after much discussion the Canal Railway Festival has decided to change its weekend for next year’s event to Aug. 10-12, 2012.

“We’re really looking to promote the history of our town,” she said.

Fundraising for the festival and the bandshell in Centennial Park continues Nov. 13, 2011 when an accessories sale will take place at the arena. All proceeds will support the bandshell and the arena. Donations of bags, shoes, clips, etc. are gratefully accepted at the arena or at Dawn’s Closet on Russell Street (Davidson’s Courtyard).

Mayor Dennis Staples made two proclamations this week. The first was to name the week of Sept. 18-24 as Legion Week in honour of the many tasks Branch 95 undertakes each and every day. The other proclamation was to name Sept. 30- Oct. 2 as Culture Days in the Town of Smiths Falls. There are 10 venues offering 30 events in the first Culture Days in Smiths Falls and Louis Tremblay, chair of the Smiths Falls Arts and Culture Council asked sent a personal invitation to everyone “please come and join us.”

CDC update

A new policy will be implemented at the Child Development Centre starting January 2012. Any serious occurrences that take place at the centre will be immediately reported within 24 hours and a written notice to parents including any action taken posted for their review. All programs at the CDC are now full except for the before and after school program at St. Francis de Sales School.

Commercial to residential zoning

A public meeting was held Sept. 19 to hear a request to rezone 2 Bay Street from C1 to R6 so that the owners can make the entire detached home residential. Staff recommended the move as the building is heritage and will help to maintain the integrity of the heritage design. This change will require the owner enter into a site plan agreement and conduct several building code upgrades. It will go forward to the next committee meeting for consideration.

Junk Art installation date nears at REAL Deal

By STACEY ROY Staff Writer

EMC Lifestyle - The REAL Deal store on William Street will be enlisting the help of a piano player, cat and other permanent volunteers in sending the message of recycle and reuse to Smiths Falls and area residents.

These characters form part of the soon-to-be installed junk art pieces that will hang on the exterior of the REAL Deal store.

“The panels should be up

by Sept. 30, we’re hoping,” said Val Hudson, local artist and creator of the seven panels.

Each panel is weather proofed, bolted and glued on for security and features their own unique theme such as: Cat on a hot tin roof, the piano man, the garden, pond, waste and the queen. What makes these colourful images so spectacular is that they are constructed out of items from around the house and industrial plants.

“Everything on here is from something else that was going to be thrown away,” Hudson said.

She hopes the panels will spark discussion about our throw away society particularly in a time when the largest population is aging and looking to downsize.

“There’s going to be a tremendous amount of junk,” Hudson suspects.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are many ways to use unwanted items if we just get our creative hats on. That was the challenge before Hudson these past four

Val Hudson attempts to secure a piece of glass to her latest junk art panel last week. When complete the panel will have a man trying to get out of a toilet where garbage is falling down toward a sign that reads ‘Besieged’. An industrial plant tops off the panel above. This and several other panels (some of which shown to the right) will soon be installed on the exterior wall of the REAL Deal. months when she worked on the gathering and development of each panel.

My biggest asset has been Bruce (McLeod),” Hudson added of her partner who has worked to secure each item to the hollow door canvas. “It’s wonderful to have Bruce work

with me.”

The easiest panel for Hudson to create was the Cat on the Hot Tin Roof that involves two panels with a flower pot complete with a potato masher turned flower.

“What an amazing process,” Hudson said of the

project’s development. “You go and try to find a way to make your imagination and the object come alive.”

Some items had a touching life of their own before being integrated into the exterior art panels. Hudson gently touched one of the wooden ducks that is perched on the reeds in her pond piece. These pieces were made by her partner’s father who has since passed away.

Name That Junk The panels are made up of a multitude of items that have found a new home in Hudson’s art work. To launch the fantastic art project, a public contest will be held called Name That Junk. From Sept.

30 - Oct. 22, 2011 visitors will be encouraged to head down to the REAL Deal and guess what each panel is made of.

The person with the most correct guesses will win a prize!

Seeing some new faces at the store will be the ultimate prize for REAL members.

“We’re hoping that the art work will bring much more people in to discover the REAL Deal,” said Karen Schecter, REAL board secretary, in a previous interview.

All the panels will be weighed by REAL to go towards the amount of waste they have been able to divert from the landfill.

The art project came to life this spring when an anonymous benefactor donated $5,000 for this purpose.

Remember When

100 YEARS AGO – SEPTEMBER 14, 1911

Thanks to Kirby Mindle for sending in a 1969 issue of Town and Country Shopper newspaper where Ontario Highways Minister George Gomme opened the Cornelia Street subway Oct. 31, 1969. The Record News welcomes any submissions. Please email them to sroy@ perfprint.ca or by mail to PO Box 158, 65 Lorne Street, Smiths Falls, ON, K7A 4T1. Please include your name and return address so they may be returned to you.

The title “His Excellency” as applied to the Governor General of Canada will be dropped during the Duke of Connaught’s tenure of office. His correct title will be “His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, Governor General of Canada”, and he will be addressed as “Your Royal Highness.”

There may be bigger fairs than Lombardy but there is probably none that is looked forward to with greater interest in the community where it is held than this one.

Saturday the 16th inst. is the date on which it is to be held this year, and if the weather is only favourable there is no question but that the same big crowd will be there. The directors have been busy for some time getting things into shape and the fair this year promises to be bigger and better than ever.

50 YEARS AGO – SEPTEMBER 21, 1961 The desperate efforts of two doctors and a crew of hydro linemen applying artificial respiration for more than an hour failed to save the life of Robert Campbell, 43, of 101 Abel street, who was electrocuted yesterday afternoon while he worked on a hydro transformer atop a pole on Aberdeen avenue. Mr. Campbell was among a crew of linemen rewiring several power supply areas in town.

According to witnesses, the victim apparently brushed against a line carrying 4,160 volts. He was left suspended from the top of the pole by his safety belt but was quickly lowered to the ground by his fellow workmen who saw the accident. A call to the police department brought the resuscitator which arrived at about the same time as Dr. T.O. Ashwell. As the doctor used the resuscitator, hydro foreman Clarence Labelle, Clayton Jewitt and Ivors Vandusen took turns applying artificial respiration. Several times the doctor was able to detect a slight heartbeat but it did not become strong enough for the victim to be able to take a life-giving breath. Dr. M.J. Brennan of Jasper arrived at the scene and assisted Dr. Ashwell in his work.

25 YEARS AGO – SEPTEMBER 17, 1986 Smiths Falls police officers are among the lowest paid in the province for a town of this size but their workload rates second highest, a police arbitration hearing was told Thursday. The day-long hearing – held at the Mariners Inn – was conducted before arbitrator Richard Jackman of Queen’s University in order to reach a contract. Town Police officers have been without one since Jan. 1. Marc LaPlante, Smiths Falls Police Association president, said the contract went to conciliation June 10 this year, but the association and the Smiths Falls police commission were “too far apart.”

Fourteen persons face 21 assorted traffic charges and “several thousand dollars” worth of drugs were confiscated in the first major undercover police operation in Smiths Falls since 1982. Shortly after 5 a.m. Friday, a four-month undercover operation culminated with a raid on residences in town, resulting in the arrests.

10 YEARS AGO – SEPTEMBER 19, 2001 The images will never disappear. Hijacked airliners plowing head-first into the two 110-storey towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The devastation at the Pentagon from a terrorist attack in Washington. The crumpled remains of an aircraft sent crashing to earth in rural Pennsylvania.

Two Smiths Falls police officers are in New York City this week, lending assistance to the relief efforts following last Tuesday’s terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

Sgt. Mark McGillivray, trained in forensic identification, and Const. Tom Blanchard, who has previous experience in search and rescue at plane crash sites, were dispatched from the local service early Saturday morning, and will remain in the U.S. at least a week. Chief Larry Hardy told The Record News he first contacted U.S. authorities last Wednesday, to let them know what resources the Smiths Falls force could offer. He also wanted to determine what, if any, assistance they required. A full staff meeting took place Friday night following the ‘Day of Mourning’ ceremony at the SFDCI gym. With the department already short-staffed, losing another two officers, no matter for what time period, would require another reworking of schedules. Hardy says there was no doubt where everyone stood. “This is something we wanted to do,” he said.

Arriving in New York by 10 a.m. Saturday morning (having left town at 3 a.m.) the Smiths Falls officers were put to work almost immediately.

Museum provides link to local history EMC Lifestyle – It’s hard to believe the Heritage House Museum is just 30 years young as it’s been an institution for the preservation of local history for as long as I can remember.

It’s only fitting that the museum will mark its 30th anniversary on Oct. 2 with a huge celebration. This just happens to coincide with Smiths Falls’ first Culture Days event, which runs from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 throughout town.

As a child I remember being fascinated with the old building, thinking it was such an odd placement for someone’s home, right by the curling club and ball diamonds. But as I grew, I

For the Record ASHLEY KULP realized it wasn’t someone’s home, but actually the home of the town’s history. It’s a fascinating place, filled with so many great stories and I’m sure if the walls could talk they’d reveal other tales never heard before.

For 30 years the museum has been enriching the lives of residents by offering exhibits, guest speakers, hosting tours of the heritage home, holding book launches and more, all designed to

help current and future generations realize the importance of protecting local history.

It’s important to have organizations such as the Heritage House Museum to show the youth of the community how important our history is and to appreciate it. Only by doing that will young people grow up to become stewards of local history, passing along their knowledge to future generations.

So how can we ensure that continues? By supporting those organizations doing the good work and what better way to find out more about Heritage House Museum than being a part

of their 30th anniversary celebration? Whether you’re a long-time supporter or a newbie, I’m sure they’d love to see you. There will be plenty to take in inside and outside.

Special guests will be doing art and rope making demonstrations, visitors can get help looking up genealogical records, and resident Arnel Pattemore will be hosting a lively discussion on world exploration.

Take home a souvenir by picking up the anniversary edition of the museum’s cookbook.

Come join in a celebration of local history. Happy anniversary Heritage House Museum!

Letters to the Editor

There is a solution to fluoride debate DEAR EDITOR: In light of the recent letter to the editor, I would like to present a simple solution to this ongoing debate regarding whether to fluoridate or not to fluoridate the water in the Town of Smiths Falls. It appears the fundamental issue of medical ethics is being displaced and should in fact be brought to the forefront.

My concern is individual consent; every person has the right to choose their own path of medical treatment. The concern is that fluoride is not a one size fits all remedy.

I am an advocate for individual choice and respect a person’s choice of whether they feel fluoride may be beneficial to their own health; however, I feel it is not beneficial to mine!

The key word being choice.

You, your dentist, or doctor have the option to discuss your individual fluoride needs. You have access to this resource through your health care professional. The prescription you receive for fluoride can provide you with comfort in knowing that what you are receiving is pharmaceutical grade, and it is a regulated drug. The dosage will be tailored on an individual basis, and you will be provided with a fact sheet, information should include what to look for if you were to have any adverse effects or contra-indications to personal health issues, and other

medications. You can choose whether or not to continue with See FLUORIDE page SF9

Addicts need our support EDITOR’S NOTE: This letter refers to a front page story published in the Record News Sept. 8, 2011.

DEAR EDITOR: This article does nothing to encourage support for needle exchange programs. Can you imagine the number of needles not being returned? Those needles do represent a very real threat to the community, especially to children in the playgrounds.

Could it not be possible to gather up all of those needle exchange clients and bring them into a treatment centre supporting either methadone or buprenorphine in a program of medication assisted recovery from opiate addiction!

Sincerely, Dr. Philip Paris, former physician at the Mount Sinai Hospital (New York) methadone treatment program, and the current project coordinator for Stop Stigma Now, a group of substance abuse professionals determined to reduce the stigma associated with long-term treatment of opiate addiction.

Artists welcome to join new art initiative at Schoular school EMC Lifestyle - Duncan J. Schoular Public School is proud to announce the launch of a school-wide arts program that involves the participation of community artists.

This year, Principal Sandy McInnes and his staff have created a school vision that involves “bringing the arts to life through education and community partnerships.”

Staff members have committed to making the arts a focus in their classrooms throughout the day and after school.

In addition, community artists are invited to get involved with student learning.

Throughout the summer, the school invited artists willing to share their skills with students to contact or visit the school to discuss partnership opportunities. McInnes said the school has welcomed four artists into the new program, but there is room for many more.

“We are still looking for artists in all mediums, including scrap bookers, photography, music, guitar, virtual artists, etc.

Since the summer, teachers have collaborated with artists who play guitar, create digital music, paint murals, needlepoint, scrapbook and more.

each focusing on a different rhythm. When performed together, the separate rhythms transform into one.

“It really makes you think,” said Grade 7 student Kaitlyn Evoy. “It makes you happy.”

“It makes you want to come to school,” said Gr. 7 student Emily Warwick.

“We’re actually doing music every day,” added Gr. 7 student Shawn Glas.

Staff members are having so much fun focusing on the arts that a group of them will be offering a workshop at the UCDSB Small School Summit on October 27 and 28.

Students in Grade 7/8 teacher Kari Sloan’s class are learning math and English concepts through rhythm this fall. The new technique has been introduced to the class as part of Duncan J. Schoular’s efforts to incorporate arts in the standard curriculum.

“We’ve had a tremendous start,” said McInnes. “The staff has a passion and enthusiasm for this initiative, and the students are very excited.”

“The goal of this program is to try to get kids more engaged in learning,” he added.

“We firmly believe that student achievement will improve if students are participating in purposeful learning opportunities.”

McInnes said that within the last two weeks, there has been a number of exciting arts activities taking place

inside classrooms. For example, grades 7/8 teacher Kari Sloan has been using rhythm to help her students remember English rules or math equations.

“I’ll start saying a phrase in a rhythmic way and the students will finish the phrase using the same rhythm,” she said. “It seems students remember the rule or fact easier when they associate it with a rhythm.”

In addition, Sloan encourages the use of desks and hands – or more recently buckets and bolts funded by the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Arts Charter – as drums during rhythm lessons. She’ll split the class into three groups,

Mind.” The group of teachers will help show other elementary teachers how to easily incorporate more arts into the classroom.

McInnes said he’s very pleased with the program so far, and invites more community artists to get involved.

The school is looking to collaborate with those who have skills in audio/visual recording, photography, woodworking, health-conscious cooking, fitness routines, sewing/ knitting, hair/nail art, dance, vocal music and more.

“We look forward to developing new partnerships within the community and creating further opportunities to learn,” he said.

Civitan year closes with bang EMC Lifestyles - Welcome to our new members Civitans Nicole Robinson, Noella and Paul Milotte.

Civitans Joyce and Jim celebrated their 56th anniversary on Prince Edward Island with a big lobster supper at Fisherman’s Wharf in North Rustico. We also went through another hurricane on the island.

This is the third time for us.

Quite a few of our members are getting ready to attend the Region 5 Convention in Burlington on Sept. 23 to Sept. 25.

Our Civitan year is drawing to a close with our awards night taking place on Sept.

29 and a new executive will be taking over the reins of our club. We have had a very successful year with 10 new members joining our club.

Over this past year our club has donated over $9,000 to various worthwhile charities, which is something we can all be proud of.

Our prayers today are for Civitan President Dave Bothwell who I believe is still in the hospital. Hopefully he will be able to attend our awards night.

This will be the last bulletin published this year. It has been interesting trying to get enough information to keep everyone informed on what is taking place in our club.

Good luck to Civitan Bryan Wiltsie as he will be installed at the Region 5 Convention as Governor Elect of Canadian District East.

Sitting through this ‘comedy’ a painful experience

EMC News – The Ontario Provincial Police Eastern Region Headquarters, in coordination with the OPP ERHET - (East Region Highway Enforcement Team), HSD-Long Sault (Highway Safety Division) as well as SD&G, Grenville and Leeds OPP detachments, were on the look-out for aggressive drivers Labour Day holiday weekend.

“OPP officers across Eastern Ontario were working very hard this weekend to ensure motorists and boaters alike had a safe holiday weekend,” said Inspector Chris Lungstrass. “Our dedicated officers working together over the long weekend focused on aggressive drivers and held them accountable. Keeping our highways safe is everyone’s responsibility and we will continue to be there to remind those that have forgotten.”

Officers laid over 496 charges:

Nick Swardson would do Bucky Larson. After all this is it for a guy like him.

This is all he’s ever going to do.

What I don’t understand is why a talented actor like Christina Ricci does a film like this. The only answer I can come up with is that Swardson or Sandler have embarrassing photos of her.

I could say the same for Don Johnson, but he was the only decent part of this film.

The only time I even came close to laughing was when he was on the screen.

I often wonder how a film like this gets made. I

remember even that much.

Larson achieves. It’s almost impressive just how offensive Bucky Larson is without ever being funny.

I went back through the old reviews to check out some of the worst of the worst. Films like Screwed, Superhero Movie, Gigli and Norbit to name a few, and I have to say Bucky Larson is easily the worst.

Those other films don’t even come close to the level of stupidity that Bucky

I’ve seen this movie so you don’t have to. Don’t make my sacrifice in vain.

I can understand why

figure Adam Sandler, Nick Swardson and Allen Covert were sitting together late at night after consuming large amounts of alcohol when Bucky Larson was born. In the moment it seemed hilarious. However, when sobriety ultimately returned, they realized the truth, but were too embarrassed to admit it and made the film to save face. It’s the only logical answer. The only way Bucky Larson would seem like a good idea is with some kind of chemical distortion of reality.

and-a-half of stupidity, and I thought it’s only 90 minutes, how bad could it be?

The answer is really bad.

Next time, slow agonizing death it is.

Without reliving too many mental scars, Bucky Larson is about a young man, Bucky (Nick Swardson), who discovers his parents were once adult film stars, and decides it’s his destiny to also be an adult film star. He goes to Hollywood, meets Kathy (Christina Ricci) a waitress, moves in with Gary (Kevin Nealon), and hooks up with adult film director Miles Deep (Don Johnson).

There’s more but it hurts to 364907_0922

Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star STARRING: Nick Swardson, Christina Ricci, Don Johnson, and Kevin Nealon DIRECTOR: Tom Brady RATING: R EMC Entertainment - Should I ever run into Adam Sandler, the writer and producer behind Bucky Larson, I’m going to kick him hard in the shin. I don’t want to break his leg or anything. I just want him to experience some of the pain I felt while sitting through his movie.

I know I didn’t have to see Bucky Larson. The trouble is the other movie involved some truly amazing actors all dying slow agonizing deaths. So it was two-and-a-half hours of depression or an hour-

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

National challenge invites youth to answer: “What does your democracy mean to you?”

EMC News - “Democracy means that citizens are able to voice their opinions and to make sure they are listened to...” That’s Yukon artist, writer and designer Amber Church. She’s one of many young Canadians that were interviewed for Canada’s Democracy Week, a new Elections Canada civic education initiative. Canada’s Democracy Week (Sept. 12-16, 2011) was inspired by the United Nations International Day of Democracy held every year on Sept. 15.

As part of Canada’s Democracy Week, the agency has launched “The Art of Democracy” National Youth Challenge encouraging young Canadians to celebrate and learn about democracy. The Challenge invites youth aged 14–30 to submit an image, video, blog post or Tweet in response to the question “What does your democracy mean to you?” The submission deadline is Nov. 30. The prizes include a Nikon D3000 camera, PlayStation 3, an iPad 2 and an iPod Touch.

Voter turnout has been declining in Canada and established democracies around the world, and one of the reasons is a continued downward trend in turnout rates among young electors. Canada’s Democracy Week is a civic education initiative which aims to raise awareness among young people of the importance of democracy and their role as citizens.

SHEIL, Shirley Anne (June 19, 1942-September 18, 2001). Beloved wife of the late Glenn Sheil.

A million time we’ve needed you, A million times we’ve cried, If love could have saved you, You never would have died.

Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, Our dearest one, we loved you, In a very special way.

If we could have one life time wish, One dream that could come true, We would pray to God with all our hearts, For yesterdays and you.

Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by your children Aaron (Erika) Napanee, Tania (Bill) Bancroft, Leslie (Randy) Stirling, Teddy (Janice) Trenton, and grandchildren Janon, Logan, Alyssa, Taylor, Brock, Madison, Reilly and Cooper

HARPER, Brenda - In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away September 23, 2004.

The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their moms, Treat her with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and she is not there.

Sadle missed by Husband, Gary, Children, Gary and Yvonne, Terry and Tracy, Trish and Greg and all your grandchildren and great grandchildren

BRADY – In loving memory of a dear Granny, Mae, who passed away September 18, 1986 and a wonderful Aunt Nancy, who passed away September 23, 2008.

You life was a blessing Your memory a treasure...

You are loved beyond words And missed beyond measure.

Forever loved and missed by your family GIFF, Ronald Clarence “Butch” “Uncle B” In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle who passed away September 28, 2006.

We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family HICKEY, Nathan - In loving memory of a nephew and cousin, who passed away September 2009.

Always in our hearts, Forever in our memories.

Love always Aunt Lisa, Jason & Jamie

MULVILLE, Howard J. In loving memory of a dear dad and papa, Howard, who passed away thirteen years ago on Monday, September 21, 1998.

Summer is gone, and now it’s Fall, Which brings back memories, saddest of all.

Each morning when we awake, knowing you are gone, No one knows our heartache, as we try to carry on.

Our hearts ache with sadness, and secret tears still flow, What losing you Dad has meant to us, no one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always about you, your place no one else will ever fill, In life we loved you so dearly, and we always will.

Forever in our hearts and still greatly missed Donna, Ross and Tiana

“You are the sun in our day, the wind in our sky, the waves in our ocean, and the beat in our hearts.”

HICKEY, Nathan Robert - In loving memory of our son and brother who passed away 2 years ago on September 19th, 2009.

There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t think of you and miss you. We are thankful for all the memories that you have left us with.

You will be forever in our hearts.

Love Mom, Dad, Tasha, Nicole and Natalee

Job Postings Perth and District Food Bank Perth and District Food Bank has moved to a new location and entered into a two-year partnership with The Stop Community Food Centre. The purpose of this partnership is to transform our food bank into a Community Food Centre where we will meet a variety of food-related needs for many different types of people under one roof. The CFC will be a community meeting place where people can sit down at a shared table to have a great meal, revive the food skills that are everywhere declining and work to change the food and poverty issues that affect our community. In addition to our important on-going food bank program, this new centre will offer cooking, gardening and advocacy programs that will improve access to healthy food in a way that maintains dignity, builds community and challenges inequality. Our Centre will re-envision how food banks and food programs operate in our community and will act as a groundbreaking model.

We are looking for four new staff to help run these programs beginning in early November to set up and deliver these programs. They must share our deep commitment to progressive community development, food security and social justice. These are contract positions of varying duration (17 months to approximately 2 years) with the possibility of renewal.

Tigers’ recent success ‘sparks’ many warm memories EMC Lifestyle - Somewhere in my parents considerable photo archives there is a picture of me, when I was a little boy, standing in front of our first house on Elm Street in Stittsville.

There are a lot of photos of me outside that bungalow on Elm St. My parents later sold the house but it is still very much in use as a private residence today!

The black and white photo I am thinking of shows me smiling from ear-to-ear, wearing a Detroit Tigers’ t-shirt. I’m pretty sure my uncle Jan Watson from Chatham, Ontario is lurking in the background. He, along with my late grandparents, was visiting his older sister (my mother Molly) and our family at the time.

The Watsons hails from Chatham, Ontario which is just an hour or so by road from Windsor and its American twin city of Detroit, Michigan.

Try this piece of trivia on your family and friends. Which major American city is located north of Canada? The answer is easy – it’s Detroit!

Anyway, it was my grandparents who bought me that’ t-shirt. And for me the photo epitomizes what has become a lifelong love affair with the Detroit Tigers.

Not surprisingly perhaps I have passed along the “Tigers’ gene” to my son Craig who is now, arguably, THE consummate Tigers’ fan. If there

is a modern day fact about the Detroit ball club my son doesn’t know, then it probably isn’t worth

BY JEFF MAGUIRE knowing!

With the Toronto Blue Jays dominating the baseball picture in Canada – and so they should – the Tigers don’t get much publicity in this country or Eastern Ontario in particular.

That’s why it was such a pleasant surprise for me to pick up our copy of the daily Ottawa Citizen on Sunday, Sept. 11 and find a full page in the sports section on ace Detroit right handed pitcher Justin Verlander.

Since losing the most games in American League history (119) in 2003, Detroit has become one of the strongest teams in the Major Leagues in recent years. In 2006 they defeated arch-rival New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics in the American League (AL) playoffs to qualify for their 10th trip to the World Series.

Detroit has won four world championships in their 117-year history.

In the “Fall Classic” five years ago the favoured Bengals lost to the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals in five games.

Reflections

Last Thursday night Tigers’ longest regular season winning streak in 77 years ended at 12 games when they lost in Oakland.

The next night, however, euphoria for the team and their fans! Detroit defeated the A’s 3-1 to capture their first division championship since 1987. In that campaign, nearly a quarter century ago, Tigers nipped Toronto Blue Jays at the wire. They defeated Toronto on the last day of the season to nail down the title.

Tigers’ recent success has coincided with the rise in stature of Verlander, a 28-year-old native of Manakin-Sabot, Virginia (northwest of Richmond). He threw his first pitch for the Detroit ball club on Independence Day (July 4) 2005.

Last week his career record stood at an impressive 106 wins and 57 losses. Equally noteworthy are his career earned run average (just under 4.00) and his strikeout total of almost 1,200.

Career season The year 2011 has been a career year for Verlander. Last Tuesday (Sept. 13) he moved to a terrific 23-5, pitching Tigers to a 5-0 shutout win over the White Sox. Many baseball watchers picked Chicago to win the AL Central this season.

In Chicago last Tuesday Verlander went seven innings scattering six hits, striking out six batters and walking two. In the process he became

the first Tiger since the late, great Hal “Prince Hal” Newhouser to win 11 consecutive starts.

Newhouser, a Detroit native who died in 1998 at age 77, accomplished the feat back in 1946.

In that game Verlander became the AL’s first 23-game winner, since Barry Zito (then of the Oakland A’s) reached the mark in 2002.

Back on May 7 Verlander no-hit the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto, his second career no-hitter.

Interestingly the 1968 season ended with one of Tigers’ most famous victories, a Game 7 triumph over the Cardinals at old Busch Stadium in St. Louis that gave them the third World Series in club history. A right-handed pitcher named Denny McLain was the dominant factor in that longago campaign. McLain was an incredible 31-6 that season with an awesome 1.96 ERA. He was the first pitcher since the late Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals in 1934 to win 30 or more games. No pitcher in the Major Leagues has accomplished the feat since.

Sunday Verlander’s amazing streak continued.

His pitching led Detroit to a 3-0 shutout victory in the final game of the four-game set in Oakland.

With a 24-5 mark and 12 straight wins Verlander has the most victories in a Major League season since Randy Johnson of Arizona Diamondbacks in 2002.

As mentioned, Tigers easily clinched the AL Central title and are now preparing for the playoffs. Red Sox have slumped lately and this week they remain in some danger of surrendering the AL wild-card place to Tampa Bay Rays. Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are battling for the West Division crown in the AL. So, depending what the fates have in store in the final week of the big league season, there could be another showdown between Tigers and their arch rivals from either New York or Boston?

I seldom make sports predictions because in so doing I am almost certain to jinx my favourite team(s). I will readily confess to being very bad at predicting the future! But with Verlander on the hill and players such as Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez hitting so well it is probable Detroit will at least be a factor in the league playoffs.

If my wish comes true they will advance to the World Series for an 11th time.

Being a sports fan certainly has its ups and downs, its highs and lows. And supporting one team in particular can be alternately exhilarating or deflating.

The summer which has just concluded was an old-fashioned hot, humid season. The kind of summer that elicits memories of baseball seasons past! For me this summer and the Tigers’ outstanding season in particular sparked memories of Detroit teams of yesteryear and stories my family still tells about the team and its storied past.

For instance my grandfather Art Watson saw the man who is arguably the greatest baseball player of all time during a game at old Navin Field (later Briggs Stadium and Tiger Stadium) in the early part of the 20th Century. My grandfather actually saw George Herman “Babe” Ruth play a game in Detroit!

More recently my wife Kathleen and I went to a game at Tiger Stadium in 1984. That season, under the tutelage of their late, great manager George “Sparky” Anderson, Detroit led from the beginning of the season to the end and then dominated the playoffs on the way to their most recent World Series win.

Late in the 1999 campaign Craig and I attended a game at the great old ball yard at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Trumbull Street. It was the final year for venerable Tiger Stadium which was such a wonderful place to watch baseball. I attended many games at there over the years.

Late in the forgettable 2003 campaign my son and I attended our first game at Comerica Park, Detroit’s ultra-modern, new downtown baseball park. Tigers came back to win that night. We hope to attend many more games in future! There are few better places to watch a baseball game and Tigers are one of the best supported teams in the majors which creates a tremendous atmosphere!

This year, as summer fades into fall, we will be on the edge of our seats hoping our beloved Tigers can claim baseball’s ultimate prize for the fifth time in their long and illustrious history. No matter what happens the rest of the way, for us and the Tigers’ legion of dedicated fans this has been a summer to remember and to relish!

NEWS

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

The wonders of the healing powers of faith EMC Lifestyle – The following are stories from local author Janet Stark’s book ‘Final Scenes: Bedside Tales at End of Life.’ These are true stories told to Stark during her roles in palliative care over the years. Stark is currently the Spiritual Care Director and Chaplain at Brockville General Hospital. The EMC will be publishing excerpts from Stark’s book on a regular basis, which is available by emailing jstark9@cogeco. ca.

A Death Sentence—Revoked A feisty, little lady told me this story. She is both a hospice volunteer and a spiritual care volunteer, has a wonderful sense of humour and is a prayer warrior. The devil will surely not catch her unaware!

Maureen had never been sick in her life. The only time she had been in hospital was for her babies – one regular delivery, four cesareans and a hysterectomy. She and her husband had the same doctor for many years, but felt the need to make a change. They found a new doctor, and looking back, felt God had a hand in it.

One night at four a.m. she jumped out of bed as she was very nauseous and felt like her body was on fire. She wondered if she had taken a stroke. The doctor prescribed antibiotics, but by Sunday, she was worse. She came into hospital by ambulance, and the priest was summoned to give her the sacrament of the

living. All the tests were done

by Wednesday, when the doctor told her she had a mass on her liver the size of an orange.

She also had a mass on her gallbladder.

At first Maureen did not say anything. After receiving the news she chuckled, “My husband’s been drinking since he was one-year-old, and here’s Mother Teresa lying here with a mass on her liver.

Life is funny.” He responded, “Yes, life is funny.”

Maureen never shed a tear.

She told her family that if she could be fixed, they would fix her, but if not, then she would get ready for her next home.

She was very weak, but not a bit nervous even though she was expecting to die. Her family had enough tears to share.

Although too sick to pray, a hymn refrain kept running through her head, “Be with

Final Scenes JANET STARK

me Lord for I am in trouble; be with me Lord I pray.”

She was transferred to a larger hospital, where a senior medical resident checked her all over very carefully.

“What’s your gut feeling?” asked Maureen.

“I don’t have gut feelings,” was his reply, “I just have statistics.”

“Well, what do your statistics tell you?” she asked.

“I think you have cancer,” he replied.

She thought, “That’s your opinion. I’ll wait for a second one.”

Maureen asked for a mild

sedative that night. In the night she woke up and looked at the window. There appeared a cross with clouds billowing around it. Three times she turned and looked at the window and the cross was there each time. She thought the Lord was telling her to prepare to come to heaven soon.

She went back to sleep.

The liver specialist did a biopsy on a Thursday and then Maureen wanted to go home.

It was a holiday weekend and no one wanted to take responsibility for releasing her. They told her they were afraid if she went home her liver would

rupture. She smiled and said, “I’m not one bit afraid of my liver rupturing. I have this very good friend, and He’s taking very good care of me.”

Maureen went home anyway.

The next week she got the news that she had a very rare form of gall bladder cancer; in fact less than 100 people in the world had this type of cancer. She thought at that moment, “I must be special.”

She remembered the sign of the cross in the window, and believed God was preparing her to bear her cross.

That weekend she changed her will, her power of attorney, and planned her funeral – right down to the music and the eulogy. This is where the story takes a twist.

A few days later, Maureen got a call telling her that they had made a mistake, and read

the tests wrong! The liver specialist was full of apologies!

She had a follow-up CAT scan, and the results showed the mass on her liver at half the size it was before. A few months later, another CAT scan showed the liver back to normal!

The following year, Maureen had an ultrasound, a barium enema and a colonoscopy and all tests showed her organs to be completely healthy.

She said to her family and her friends, “I am a walking miracle!”

I know this story is true, as I have seen the report! Maureen’s sign of the cross in the window had actually been a sign for healing. Praise be to God! There is an old saying, “Youth is wasted on the young.”

your planned treatment or discontinue based on your individual needs.

Facts regarding dental care and lower income supports already in place: - In Canada, dental care is a right for any child 14-years of age and under. Lower income families are provided a dental card and access to a dentist.

- “Healthy Smiles” This is a government funded program for low income families.

Our Family physician plays an important role in our overall health. We are provided free health care through OHIP.

Fluoride supplements are available through prescription to everyone.

“Trillium” another government-funded program provides prescription drug coverage to people of low income, who may not qualify under Ontario Works.

Proposal: I propose the expensive fluoride water treatment process be replaced by utilizing our medical professionals and most importantly placing the individual medical consent back into the hands of the citizens.

Sincerely Cynthia Mayes Smiths Falls

EMC Events - Those who came out to support ALS research sent a strong message Sept. 17 - about $35,000 worth! That’s how much the 13th annual event raised thanks to participants like (top, left) Felicia, Lorrie, Gage and Desiree Wallace who came in their 80s retro styles.

Prior to the walk, Tracy Cummings, ALS Ontario manager of the Champlain region (bottom, left) and Emma Kealy (bottom, right) spoke to the crowd.

Lanark Highlanders vs. CFB Petawawa Bone crushing tackles mark season-ending rugby match Submitted photo

Rugby players from Lanark Highlanders faced off against CFB Petawawa earlier this month. Both teams brought all they had to bare on the difficult game, including some spectacular tackles!

somebody to watch such unrestrained brutality?

I felt guilty. It’s like sneaking under the fence to watch the Daytona 500 and have the biggest crash in history happen right before your eyes. Is that luck, or what!

To add to the spectacle, I saw the red shirted guy do one of those spry, “I’m all right. I’m tough, that didn’t hurt” routines as he sprang back to his feet and loped away with that nonchalance a real gorilla adopts when all the other gorillas are watching to see whether he’s going to whimper. This gorilla didn’t whimper, not this time anyway, but I caught him doing something else.

He shot a lightning look at Mr. Drummond that said, “I may not be able to read very well, but your number’s up buddy!” He tried to hide it immediately, but I saw it in a flash.

I couldn’t help myself after that. For the rest of the game I decided I was going

to watch these two guys.

You know how it is in hockey: Somebody’s going to get it here, and it shouldn’t be long before we find out the name of the victim - a truly priceless opportunity. And remember, there still wasn’t anybody asking for my money or ticket at the door.

But as my slavoring, Troglodyte nature manifested itself, I soon lost track of Mr. Drummond and his firebreathing avenger because I watched in awe at a large man, David Harrison also from Smiths Falls. This gentleman was twice the size as Mr. Drummond and just as fast. As he raced across the field and with a similar burst

of energy he hit a similar collection of body parts with an even greater force. It almost seemed to be unfair but entertaining to say the least.

I looked around with real guilt now. I kept looking over my shoulder waiting to be asked to leave because I had not paid anyone to view such an event. I really didn’t want to get thrown out before it happened: You know, before somebody really got hurt here, and not the kind of hurt where your mother’s saying “somebody’s going to get an eye poked out.” I was anticipating a real Neanderthal, bone crunching, sinew rending, blood gushing injury to happen right

before my ringside seat. It was almost like I was about to be the witness of a horrible crime.

And I wasn’t disappointed! Well, not to say there was any blood or broken bones, but there was such a moment-by-moment anticipation of the imminent destruction of one or more of these primates that I was well satisfied at the end. Besides, it was free, remember!

It was only a game, and the last one of the season.

You may want to note at this juncture that we’re talking about rugby: Run Under Glory Because You’re ….

Gonna get hurt, Gonna get maimed, Gonna go to the hospital, Gonna get killed.

You choose.

What a way to play!

They don’t wear any equipment. At least I didn’t notice anybody making those quick, nervous-compulsive “cup”-adjusting gestures that always make you think athletes have got a problem somewhere, and it’s mostly in their heads despite the handiwork.

No. They’re wearing just enough to keep the bruises on their birthday suits out of view. But I should mention the whole spectacle was not without its “tender” moments. I noticed what had to be an injured Highlander player in civilian clothes hobble toward

what appeared to be a beer cooler filled with water? He checked it out, then placed his right hand therapeutically on his lower back as he limped back to his spot on the grass empty-handed.

The next “tender” moment followed immediately as a suited player sauntered up to ask if he really “dislocated his shoulder”, to which the trainer’s response was negative, a lengthy exchange ensued about bruised and torn muscles.

I felt more guilt. My eavesdropping suggested I had missed an even better tackle than the two I was already celebrating. Darn! I was close enough to see the whites of their eyes and all I could think of was who was going to smear who if they met on the field.

I guess that’s what rugby does to you. If it doesn’t cripple you physically, it turns you into a crass estimator of potential velocity, body mass and damage upon impact with everyone you meet.

Ah, wait ‘til next year. It can only get better. I’m going to ask the team (remember the Lanark Highlanders) if I can write about it in exchange for this ringside seat.

I’ll study up on the game and maybe see you on the field, or pitch, or whatever.

We’ll see who’s tough, then, right!

364905_0922

By DAN TRAFFORD Special to the EMC EMC Sports - You probably missed what some would consider among the most brutal spectacles in sports over the Labour Day weekend.

I got to watch Andrew Drummond of Smiths Falls and of The Lanark Highlanders cross 150 feet of turf at full steam and body slam with incredible force a struggling mass of three other fellows, sending all four crashing to the ground with the sickening sound of flesh meeting immovable terra firma.

Now here’s the spectacle part.

There was an audible woosh of air that seemed to depart those two all at the same time and what sounded like the crunch of bones and definitely the smack of flesh on flesh. Bedlam followed immediately as everybody seemed to be shouting and screaming from everywhere at the same time, just as you would expect after being a witness to the aftermath of such a vicious assault. And then the primordial tones changed just as quickly to ones of camaraderie and congratulations as that tangle of armpits and elbows became two separate entities again.

I found it hard to believe.

“Is this legal”? I mean, shouldn’t you have to pay

Bears fall just short in pair of games last week EMC Sports – Steps in the right direction, but the early season struggles for the Smiths Falls Bears continued following a pair of narrow defeats last weekend.

The Jr. A club (0-4) was still looking for its first win of the 2011-2012 CCHL season Tuesday of this week (Sept.

20) against the 3-1 Brockville Braves. Failing that, their next shot at victory comes Friday when they play host to the Carleton Place Canadians.

Last Saturday in Carleton Place, the Bears put in a solid effort against the top team in the Robinson Division, even leading 3-2 midway through the third period.

But a three-goal explosion by the Canadians in a 96-second span turned the tide, and propelled the home side to a 6-4 win.

Daniel Kolenda (9:30) tied the game, Jay Llewellyn put Carleton Place ahead 37 seconds later, then Kyle Phillips added insurance at 11:06.

Bears forward Connor McLaren connected on the power play at 17:12 to close the gap to 5-4, his second goal of the contest. But Phillips put the game away scoring into the empty net at 19:24 with goalie Mackenzie Sawyer on the bench for the extra attacker, sending most of the 651 fans in attendance home happy.

After spotting the Canadi-

Smiths Falls Bear Chris Maniccia (7) races ahead of Colts all-star Tyson Spink (96) during Friday’s home game Sept. 16. ans a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes, the Bears roared back with a three-goal second period, despite being outshot 20-10.

Matt Robertson’s first of the year, 49 seconds in, tied the game 1-1. After Luc Deschamps restored the Canadians’ advantage four minutes later, Cody Fraser brought the two teams even again at the 5:02 mark followed a minuteand-a-half later by McLaren’s shorthanded marker at 6:35.

The goal forced a goaltending switch by Canadians

head coach Jason Clarke who pulled starter Joe Yetman in favour of Brodie Barrick. The move served to settle his club down and set up the team’s third period comeback.

Small consolation, but the Bears won on the special teams front, going 2 for 6 on the power play while shutting the Canadians down on their five chances with the man advantage.

For the game, Sawyer made 32 stops off 37 shots. Yetman allowed three goals on 14 shots while Barrick blocked

14 of the 15 he faced.

At home the night before, a determined Bears squad fought back against the vaunted Cornwall Colts, falling just short 4-3 in an entertaining affair in front of close to 560 fans at the Memorial Community Centre.

Jarrett Williams brought the crowd alive when he scored his first of the season, from Fraser and Maniccia with just under 5:30 to play in regulation. But despite controlling much of the play over the final minutes and out shoot-

ing the Colts 13-5 in the third period, they couldn’t bury the equalizer and suffered their third straight defeat to start the year.

Rookie Cole Allard opened the scoring for the Bears 9:17 into the game, but Colts all stars Tylor Spink and Youssef Kabbaj had the visitors up by a goal by the end of the first period.

Tyson Spink put the Colts up 3-1 with a power play marker 5:32 into the second but another Bears rookie, Nicolas Brazeau, responded just 10 seconds later to close the deficit to a single goal.

A late goal by Michael Phillips, putting Cornwall ahead 4-2, proved to be the game winner.

Goalie Matt Jenkins suffered his second loss of the

young season despite making 26 stops in the game. Colts counterpart Michael Comitini was solid at the other end, turning aside 32 of the 35 shots fired his way.

OVERTIME: • The Bears completed a trade last Friday, acquiring forward Dean Galasso from the Nepean Raiders in exchange for a sixth round draft pick in next year’s draft and a player development fee. The 17 year-old Carp native had one assist in two games with the Raiders so far this season.

• In addition to Friday’s home game with the Canadians, the Bears’ busy week concludes with a Sunday night tilt with the Braves at the Leo Boivin Community Centre in Prescott. Game time is 7 p.m.

GARBAGE PICKUP IN OUR NORTH END

RDHS begins preparation for OFSAA girls soccer championships EMC Sports - More than 400 of the best senior girls soccer players in the province will be in Elgin June 7-10, 2012 as Rideau District High School (RDHS) hosts the OFSAA Senior Girls A Soccer Championship.

Players from at least 16 Ontario high school teams will compete in the prestigious event, the first time that RDHS has had the honour of hosting and playing in the competition, said Lisa Rice, athletic coordinator at RDHS and co-convenor of the tournament. As tournament hosts, the RDHS Lions are automatically entered in the event.

Attracting the tournament to Elgin was the brainchild of

co-convenor Scott Halladay, coach of the RDHS senior girls team and president of the Portland Football Club.

Halladay and Rice applied to have Rideau host the event because of the benefits it can bring to the community and the players at RDHS. Rice says the Lions will be challenged to step up their game as they compete against the best in the province.

“It’s a really prestigious event,” explained Rice. “It’s a great opportunity for the people in our community to see a high caliber of play and to learn just what it takes to put on a major tournament.

“I also think it is really going to help our soccer pro-

gram at Rideau. We’ve always done very well, but our senior girls have never made it past the Eastern Ontario finals. To finally be able to play at OFSAA will be a great experience for them.”

While the tournament is months away, the school is busily preparing for the event.

An organizing committee has been set up to coordinate things such as sponsorships, accommodations, and play schedule.

Over the summer months, the Upper Canada District School Board installed new goals at Rideau’s main soccer field and the pitch will be prepared to ensure it is ready for the June tournament. The

teams will also play on the RDHS track field, at nearby Sweet’s Corners Elementary School and at the Portland Football Club pitch.

The Rideau District High School gym will be the site for the official banquet.

Next steps Tasks which lay ahead include searching for hotels and motels that will be official sites for the tournament, finalizing catering, and seeking sponsors for tournament frills to make the event memorable for the players.

“There’s a lot of work ahead,” said Rice. “It’s such a huge event, but it will be worth it.”

Good turnout for final twilight golf at SFG&CC

All tied up

Nic Brazeau of the Bears (14) ties up Cornwall Colts Connor Primeau off this faceoff last Friday, Sept.

16. The rookie scored his first Central Canada Hockey League goal but it wasn’t enough as the Colts emerged with a 4-3 win. It was the Bears’ home opener for the 2011-2012 season.

By THE BOGEYMAN

No better time to get out on golf course

THE GLENNER had by the 80 golfers who made it out. A great prize table with just about every player taking home a prize courtesy of Kevin Coon Of Coon Bath Design.

Just a reminder, we will be starting at 5 p.m. with a twoman scramble format from now on. The closing date is Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011. It will be a 4-6 man 18-hole scramble format followed by dinner and prizes. The signup sheet is in the pro shop. You can register your team now for closing times.

Highlights of the Night Pat Wiseman went to the Longest with the big stick on #10. Pat will be getting some pulled pork from Hank’s Fries.

Jeff Boisvert wins a breakfast courtesy of The Roosteraunt for coming close on #11. Dan Parks makes a pressure putt earning him a $50 gift certificate to Burn’s Jewellers in Perth. Kevin Lewis will be going for breakfast courtesy of The Roosteraunt with his shot on #16. Alex Lewis wins some range balls for his great shot on #17 and an eagle on #18. Harold Bryan wins the bucket of range balls for his shot on #4.

The Big Winners: 50/50 Tom Patterson; Skins – Gord Walton, Jeff Boisvert, Rick McGrath , Kevin Coon and Kevin Lewis; Pro Shop prizes – Duncan Pickard wins a new pair of Footjoy shoes and Bert McRory gets some new Taylor made balls.

That was a great prize table courtesy of the good people at Coon Bath Design. Thanks Kevin!

Thursday Twilight Ladies Wow...just another fantastic prize table offered by our continued supporters from Glenview Iron & Metal! The prizes were many, the receivers the same, all 73 of them!

Hats off to GIM for their continuous support of our league.

Our Mystery Lady this week, sponsored by The Royal Bank, was Maxine Leggett!

Congratulations Maxine on winning a wonderful prize package. A shout of happiness was heard from our weekly prize draw winner Harriette Peterson.

Congratulations Harriette - a nice amount to take home! Burns Jewellers’ Closest to the Pin $50 gift certificate was won by Shannon McGrath, and The Roosteraunt runner-up was received

by Carolyn Renwick. Way to go girls & continue making those nice shots!

Roosteraunt second shot, furthest from the pin but on the green contenders this week were; Tammy Costello and Maxine Leggett. Congrats Maxine for being the winner of two great breakfasts! Our Lucky Lady this week was Judy Hodgins who received a nice gift from Darlene Graham of Coldwell Banker!

Thank you to all of our sponsors of this week & a huge thank you to all our

sponsors throughout our 2011 golf season. Words just cannot express our overall gratitude to each and every one of you who gave, and gave big to our league this year.

Ladies, our 21st regular season game happens this week... can we hit the 100 mark to end our regular season with a bang? Let’s try...plan on coming out this Thursday ...

Our Food Bank Drive is off and running and I think that you would agree that we are on a roll! Just glancing at the back table in the clubhouse shows that we mean business this year. It is going to be “over the top” with all of the support we are getting from Tuesday morning Ladies League, Tuesday Night Industrial League, Wednesday morning Senior Men’s, Wednesday Night Twilight Men’s League and our own league, Thursday Ladies Twilight. All of our league members at Lombard Glen already have a lot to be proud of by looking at that back table but wait...it has just started...the swelling of pride will be felt by everyone that witnesses the amount of food that will be loaded in the trailers at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25. Personally, I cannot wait to see the sight of the trailers overflowing with more than just food - it will not just be the sense of sight that will be overloaded but the actual emotional feelings of kindness that will have the air filled all around Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club on that day!

Proud I say, just to be part of this great League!

The Glenner

FALL RATES

EMC Sports - Ah yes, after that gorgeous, golden, Harvest Moon, the sun has slipped into Libra. This signals a settlingdown time for most. Summer is over and we’ve used our Virgo energy to vigorously get organized for back-to-school/ back-to-work stuff.

Enter stage left: a Time of Relative Relaxation with a desire to kick back and relax, go for dinner and schmooze with dear friends. Libra is such a gracious, well-mannered and obliging sign! Make plans to socialize. Life is short. Go golfing while there`s time!

Tuesday Industrial League Another successful evening at Lombard Glen was had by all that risked the weather and enjoyed a wonderful fall evening.

Seems like Unity had the hottest putters winning the only skin on 10 and sharing the skin on the other hidden hole with Numbers, RCL, Six is a Crowd, and Donnie’s Boys on 16. Ricky Knows was the closest on 11 while Ben Trudel outhit everyone else to take the longest drive on 15.

The men from the First Baptist Church were the generous sponsors this week and they did not disappoint anyone as their numbers came up.

Wednesday Senior Men Congratulations to Dave Rice who shot a gross score of 2 under, a 33 with three birdies. Dave also won with a birdie outright on par 5 Hole #6.

Ron Maciura won a skins with a birdie on the par 4 at hole #2.

Closest to the hole winner on par 3 #4 was Ron Maciura and par 3 #7 was Jim Dowdall.

50/50 winner was Jim Jenkins and second was split between Bob Fairfield and Ron Lumsden.

Ken Johnston was the leader on the Brinks format with 35 points. Dave Rice came in second with 33 points.

Tied for third with 32 points included Ron Maciura, Bert McRory, George Cross and Chuck Dallton. In fourth place with 31 points was Jim Dowdall. Great play lads.

EMC Sports - The final Thursday Night Men’s Twilight was sponsored by Molson, with representative Kyle Robertson putting together a burgeoning prize table. And, with the days getting ever shorter, we just managed to squeeze in nine holes of scramble golf. It’s sad to see the season coming to an end.

On the front side, Jason Drummond, Steve Lumsden, Jim Blair, and Kerwin O’Neill were the A Division winners with a score of 29. Ian Devonshire, Warren Garton, Peter Cahill, and Paul Cadeau sealed the B Division with a 31.

Nothing to be bitter about in the group of Bill Ballantyne, Mike Milks, Mike Whitby, Rick Thompson, and Murray Campbell; they were the A Division winners on the back nine with a 28. The team of Rob, Behn, and Chris Dales, along with Rodney Parent, posted the same score to take the B Division title. Hmmm…

Weren’t they in the A Division last week?

The Roosteraunt closestto-the-pin prizes were won

by Harry Jansen and Steve Oostrom for their tee shots on holes 8 and 18. Don’t forget to get in the skins next time, Harry.
