EMC News – This year’s Stuff the Cruiser campaign raised a whopping 2,097 kgs and $210 in cash.

Hosted by the Smiths Falls Police Service, the Community First event cleared last year’s total of 1,839 kgs.

Cst. David Murphy and Sgt. Jodi Empey along with the Smiths Falls Police Service extends a huge thank you to all who participated.

A big thank you goes to all of the schools that participated including St James the Greater, St. Francis de Sales, Chimo Elementary School, Duncan J. Schoular School, St. Luke Catholic High School, Smiths Falls Campus of TR Leger School and Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute.

The Smiths Falls Community Food Bank and all of the volunteers who helped not only with the Turkey Parade at St. James School, but put in extra time to help everyone load, unload and stock the shelves with the many pounds of food that was collected.

“There were many smiles

on many faces from all of the students involved as well teachers and volunteers who assisted in this to the volunteers at the Food Bank who

now know that there will be enough food on the shelves to feed many people who need assistance,” said Murphy. “To all of the students who collected one can or who went out of their way and collected more than their share from friends and families.”

“Again thank you very much to everyone involved.

Without the participation of so many dedicated people the day would not have been a success that it was,” noted Empey. “We look forward to next year.”

Retro 80s dance party to benefit Interval House – get your tickets now

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Events - Get your tickets now for the Retro 80s Dance Party in support of Lanark County Interval House.

Pre-ticket sales are being encouraged for the event which will take a blast into the past to help change the future. The future of Lanark County Interval House that is – as they face a deficit of $59,000.

The retro dance is set for Oct. 20, 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Carleton Place Arena. And costumes are encouraged, so dust off those sparkle gloves, be proud to don your neon and reinvigorate that side ponytail.

Costume contests will be held and prizes will be given out.

There will also be door prizes, and raffles throughout the night, which will feature music by DJ Jack Denovan and a late lunch at 11 p.m.

“We strongly believe in what they (Lanark County Interval House) do,” said Lisa Occomore from Valley Granite and Tile. The local business is sponsoring and organizing this fundraiser in partnership with LCIH. “They provide an opportunity to find freedom,” she explained LCIH also supports and empowers the women who have to use their services, through the journey they have to undertake.

“It’s an amazing group they have there,” she commented of LCIH, saying her family has a history with the organization, and has had to utilize the services of LCIH in the past.

As mentioned, it is important to get your tickets ahead of time for this night of fun. To get your tickets ($20 each) ahead of the event, please visit Valley Granite and Tile (127 Bridge St., Carleton Place), 613-4922522 or email brianne@lcih. com. This is a mixed party, however those attending must be 19 years of age and older to attend.

Local businesses and individuals have been generous thus far with donations to aid in putting the event on, as well as with prizes for the various events that night. Those wishing to make a donation may

EMC Events – Carleton Place for the last five years has hosted Lanark County Interval House’s Take Back the Night march. Recently local residents (women, children and men) and politicians turned out with their banners and noisemakers to demand that a woman’s right to walk the streets safely be upheld. The march followed a rally in the park behind the Carleton Place Town Hall. still do so by calling the number provided above. All donations for the event are “100 per cent appreciated.”

In order to support LCIH there are a number of fundraising events planned for the weeks to come.

Tarot sessions and Henna Decoration will be taking place at Angels Roost for LCIH, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tarot experts Ann Gratton and Lise Guignard will provide Tarot readings and henna decorations or both for those who choose.

Just one week later, Saturday, Nov. 3, the 24th annual Women’s Fair takes place at the Carleton Place Arena. Admission is free. There will be plenty of vendors for those who attend to both treat themselves and get a start on their Christmas shopping. From jewelry to clothing, fitness to beauty, financial consultants to preserves and baked treats, there will be lots to peruse. Prizes, a raffle, silent auction, gift bags and more are all on the agenda.

Also on Nov. 3 is a Fashion Show Wine and Cheese, but reservations are required by Oct. 12. The Dazzling Diamond Divas of the Crown Jewels of Canada Society and the Shopping Sherpas of the Red Hat

Society are putting this event on, which takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Carleton Place Legion, 177 George Street. There is limited seating. For information on rsvping please email to dazzlingdiamonddivasofcp@ gmail.com or shopping.sherpas@gmail.com or phone Sandra Dormer at 613-253-1774.

All proceeds will be going to LCIH. Those who have attended the Violet Femmes Girls Night Out Gala in the past will not want to miss the fifth anniversary edition Friday, Nov. 16. Those who have not attended before, will not want to miss this fun night either. Taking place at the Almonte Arena, the evening will be hosted by Sandra from KISS FM, there will be food, cocktails, music, dancing, a silent auction and raffle table, plus much, much more. Commencing at 5:30 p.m. the night is in support of LCIH. For tickets, visit the LCIH website (listed below) or visit Static, located in the Old Church Shoppes, 17a Albert St., Carleton Place, or Doree’s Habit, 65 Mill St., Almonte.

A little bit of “Herstory” LCIH officially opened in May of 1979, but the facility

was already occupied in April by women in need of services, according to information provided by LCIH. In 1983, a fundraising campaign resulted in the purchase of the organization’s current location.

Serving the entire Lanark

County and Smiths Falls, Interval House currently sees between 200 and 300 families every year. The 24/7 Crisis Line receives approximately 2,000 calls each year as well.

Waiting lists are now forming for group support programs as well as for individual counseling.

Some of the costs the agency faces include a yearly grocery bill of $25,000, annual utility costs of $21,000, $30,000 is spent around repairs, maintenance and insurance and of course these are just a few of the many expenditures each year. A grant did come from the Ministry of Community and Social Services to build the new addition on the facility several years ago, however corresponding dollars to operate the building weren’t forthcoming. Travel costs are also astronomical as the agency does serve the entire county, and sometimes the reality is that women live in isolated locations and situations.

When cost of living such as gas prices, and groceries getting more expensive become realities, these circumstances also impact an agency such as Interval House.

In order to spread the mes-

sage across their coverage area, the agency moves fundraising events from community to community and features yearly activities such as the Violet Femmes night in Almonte, various campaigns including the Daisy of Hope campaign, Mom to Mom sales and more.

The agency’s The As Good As New Store, is also a source of funds and mail outs are still undertaken.

There are many ways a person could donate or give to the cause without opening their pocket book. Including volunteering time, buying two sets of towels at the store instead of one and donating the extras, going to a fundraising event, volunteer to help at a fundraising event, go on the agency website and look at the wish list for the organization, even if the public is doing something so mundane as cleaning the house and have extra post it notes, or blank school paper – these are all things that can be used and make a difference.

Lanark County Interval House can be reached by calling 613-257-5960, 1-800-2677946 or visiting www.lcih.org.

Those looking to volunteer may call 613-257-3469 ext. 27.

Portion of ticket sales for Studio Theatre Production to go to charity

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – “I would rather have a dog.”

This is one of the lines to be spoken by the blind heroine in “Wait Until Dark”, Perth’s Studio Theatre’s first production of the season.

It was this line that got director Norma Cummings’ wheels of thought turning.

For every adult ticket sold for this production, premiering today, Oct. 11, $1 will be donated to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

“We thought it would be a nice hookup between this kind of a play and the guide dogs,” Cummings commented Sept. 26 amidst construction of the set. It

was day five of building the basement apartment scene.

“We strive for good will in the community. Part of our mandate is to serve the community,” explained Penny Silberhorn, with the Studio Theatre. She said the theatre gives actors an area to act, directors a place to direct. “We try as much as we can to put some of our money back into the community.”

In addition to a portion of ticket sales going to the cause, the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind will also feature a promotional setup in the lobby as well as a donation dog (whereby donations can be dropped into) during the performance.

Not only are they giving back to the community via

the donation, they have also been hard at work preparing the performance. Calling it a “pulse pounding thriller” the cast has been hard at work since the last part of August.

“It’s been a big team effort,” Cummings smiled.

The eight character play features some well known actors and actresses including Danielle MacDonald as Susy, Paul Roach as Roat, with veterans Hugh McCulloch, Lucas Tennant, Alfred Von Mirbach and a new young actor, Meaghan

Brackenbury - an all-star cast. Rounding out the cast are David Parry and Yogi Sepp.

The play itself centres around Susy, who is blind and her husband Sam Hendrix. In the play, they are convinced by a strange woman to transport a doll across the Canadian border.

What they don’t know is that sewn within this doll is a quantity of heroin, heroin which villain Roat can’t wait to get his hands on.

When the strange woman who persuaded them into

bringing the doll across the border is murdered, Roat convinces Susy the police suspect Sam as the murderer and that the doll is evidence. Becoming aware of what is happening, Susy refuses to give up the doll’s location and a dangerous game of cat and mouse is unleashed. Seeing her only way out is to turn her blindness into an advantage, she turns off all the lights when darkness falls – leaving them both in the dark, until the game is over.

The performance takes

place Oct. 11, 12, 13, 19, 20 at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m.

Sunday matinees on Oct. 14 and 21.

Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at The Book Nook in Perth, $22 at Tickets Please (ticketsplease.ca; 613-4856434), and $22 cash at the box office on show nights.

Students with ID pay just $10 at the door. The Studio Theatre is located at 63 Gore Street East in Perth.

Exceptional artists support families in need EMC Lifestyle – Without Exception: Exceptional Art from Beautiful Minds, sponsored by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), hosted an artist exhibit and sale on Friday, Sept. 28, at the R. Tait McKenzie Memorial Gallery, in Almonte displaying exquisite works by 36 young student artists.

Without Exception is an ongoing arts initiative for special needs students in the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. Inspired by three special needs artists at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, art teacher, Sarah Jaynes, founded Without Exception in 2008.

In its fifth year, the program celebrates the talents of student artists from across Eastern Ontario.

Yearly themes are used to

guide the artists, with this year’s theme being birds.

Jaynes says that the name was chosen to highlight the fact that individuals with special needs are not “exceptions,” but are “exceptional.”

All proceeds from art sales are donated to the Good Samaritan Trust Fund, a charity which helps CDSBEO students, and their families, when issues arise which are not currently addressed by existing charity organizations. The proceeds from the event totalled $1,370, with three additional exhibits to be held before Christmas.

High quality, acid-free prints, on paper and canvas, are available for purchase and custom order. More information on this initiative can be found by visiting www.withoutexception.ca, or www.facebook.com/exceptionalart.

Canadian Aid for Chernobyl Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign extended to Oct. 31

EMC News - The Shoeboxes for Seniors Campaign for the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville and Kingston areas has been extended to Oct. 31, 2012 in order to allow groups and organizations who have been closed for the summer to take part in this worthwhile project.

Currently there are 300 boxes packed and ready to go with an additional 200 expected to arrive within the next month. Your help is needed to reach our goal of 1,200.

Participants may fill a shoebox or drop off essential hygiene items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand and body cream, deodorant, combs, brushes, hand soap, shampoo, razors, etc.) at any of the locations listed.

Individuals are encouraged to fill just one box and together the goal can be reached. Donations of filled boxes, miscellaneous items and cash donations are also accepted throughout the year. Shoeboxes will be shipped to Chernobyl for distribution in early spring 2013.

Campaign coordinator Colleen Gray has been busy collecting boxes and donations over the summer months.

“The seniors who receive our shoeboxes are those who are most in need,” said Gray. “These are people who have little or no family support. They live very lonely and isolated lives in a state of poverty.”

These shoeboxes are hand delivered to seniors

on occasions such as Seniors’ day, Invalids Day, Veterans’ Day and special anniversaries. They not only provide basic care but bring hope and joy!

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Shoeboxes for Seniors program, residents, businesses and organizations are being asked to become involved and help make this year’s campaign a success.

COMMENTARY Support food banks in our own backyard

Submitted photo

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy and cliffLAND has instituted the 80 Plus Club. This is for individuals 80 years of age or older who have hiked to Blueberry Mountain (one of the Seven Wonders of

Lanark County). The annual fall walk took place on Sept. 30. Eight cheerful individuals over the age of 80 made the trek to the top of Blueberry Mountain that day.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Agency aims to help students with financial decision-making DEAR EDITOR: As a former high school teacher, the beginning of September always meant back-to-school. For students, it’s a time for many new things.

I realize now that back-to-school is the perfect time to have a frank conversation with children about the importance of managing their personal finances, especially if they are moving out on their own for the first time.

The agency I lead, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), was established in 2001 to help Canadian consumers gain a better understanding of financial products and services such as

credit cards, bank accounts, mortgages and investments. Since that time, FCAC has become a pioneer in creating clear, simple publications and easy-to-use web tools that give consumers objective, reliable help when they make financial decisions.

The Government of Canada has given FCAC the mandate to foster financial literacy. The agency continues to develop innovative resources for students and all Canadians to help them strengthen their knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions. They are available at itpaystoknow.gc.ca.

Ursula Menke FCAC Commissioner

EMC Editorial - While another Thanksgiving has come and gone, and another push for donations to the food bank was made - donations are needed year round. Locally, the Lanark County Food Bank helps close to 550 people on a monthly basis (distributing between 11,000 and 13,000 pounds of food per month) – increasing by 12 new applicants each month. This is just one of the food banks to serve this area – there are also facilities in Smiths Falls, Perth and the North Grenville area.

While several fundraising initiatives are up and coming leading to Christmas, food banks rely day to day on the kindness of community donations to feed those coming to their door.

In media statements late last month, it was reported World Vision staff were in Ottawa Sept. 26, urging passersby from various locations in the downtown core, to “brown bag” their lunch and donate the money they would have used to purchase food to their cause. More than 18.7 million people, four million of those children, in seven West African countries, “are at risk of severe malnutrition” the World Vision Canada website reports. The donations collected that day were to be directed towards families in West Africa.

There is no question there is a need in Africa. But while this is a very worthy cause – that help is needed and donated dollars are important – we would argue that perhaps dollars should be directed towards food banks working hard here in our own backyard. These operations benefit the people who are in dire need here in Lanark County, Leeds & Grenville and the Ottawa Valley. People struggling to make ends meet – not knowing from where their next meal may come, not knowing how they will pay the bills or keep a roof over their heads, not knowing if they can feed their children this time next week.

Perhaps, donated funds should be focussed locally towards the people we walk alongside every day who may have bare kitchen cupboards and empty fridges.

Miss Crosby prepares students for the world EMC Lifestyle - Miss Crosby was fair to a fault, and yet she stood for no nonsense. Most of the boys in Senior Fourth at the Northcote School were a couple heads taller than she was, but she had no trouble handing out discipline to any of them when the need arose. We all had a healthy fear of Miss Crosby, and that included Cecil and my brother Emerson, both of whom seemed to attract trouble like ants to a plate of honey.

The strap that hung on the side of her desk from a cup hook was a constant reminder that if anyone stepped out of line, she would use it in a split second! And when she did, the whack was enough to raise her off her feet. So needless to say, just looking at the black leather demon was enough to keep us on our best behaviour.

Back then the teacher was right up there in importance with the family doctor or the member of parliament. And each was treated with the utmost respect.

Miss Crosby was lucky to

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

live in the community, not like some rural teachers who had to “room and board” at one of the local farms. She could walk to school.

And she had the patience of a saint. Bad Marguirite was enough to try anyone’s patience, but Miss Crosby knew exactly how to handle the girl who was the bane of my existence. Marguirite never did anything bad enough to warrant the strap, but she aggravated the daylights out of me, mostly because she was the only one in her family, and had the best of everything. A real leather school bag, for instance. And a tin box for her lunch! Such luxury.

About once a year just about every family in the community would have the teacher over night on a weekend. That meant of course,

that she would attend church with the family on the Sunday, and it didn’t matter what church they attended, the teacher was expected to go with them. And so Miss Crosby could be an United one week, and a Lutheran the next.

And what a thrill it was to have the teacher for over night!

The house would have a cleaning from top to bottom, just like it got in the Spring or Fall! Floors were scrubbed up and downstairs, and of course, a spotlessly clean kitchen and bedclothes fresh off the line were necessary, and enough food to feed a thrashing gang would be prepared.

Of course, when it was our turn to host the teacher, she couldn’t be expected to walk the 3 ½ miles my brothers and sister and I had to trudge to and from school. No Father would take the buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter to fetch her to our old log house.

And that weekend, I felt so smug. I knew for a fact that Marguirite had asked

Miss Crosby at least three or four times during the school year to go to her home for the weekend. But Miss Crosby wouldn’t dream of that.

No, everything was fair and square with Miss Crosby.

And Marguirite was constantly bringing a treat for the teacher. This time of year it would be an apple. Often Miss Crosby would have an apple every day from the hateful little girl with the drug-store-bought curls. And I would watch to see what the teacher would do with it. I never saw her eat the apple, but it would be taken home with her, and I liked to think she maybe threw it away when she got far enough away from the school!

But more than likely it was put into a pie or apple crisp.

I have no idea what Miss Crosby did with the boxes of hankies, the cheap tin cans of talcum powder, and the countless bars of soap she got at Christmas time. But I do remember getting a little note of thanks every year. She would make sure the notes were all written at the same

time, and they would be on our desks waiting for us. The notes were never mailed. After all, it cost three cents for a postage stamp back then!

She never seemed to have a big wardrobe. In the winter, it was a simple black wool dress, and in the summer a printed silk. She had a variety of crocheted collars that she attached to both to bring a variety to what she wore. And she wore black laced shoes with thick rubber on the heels. My brother Emerson said the heels were like that so that she could creep up on you without being heard.

Miss Crosby loved the King and Queen. And she loved the bible. Every morning, of course, she read a scripture lesson, and we all recited the Lord’s Prayer in unison. We were supposed to sit ramrod straight in our seats, with our heads bowed, and our hands forming steeples for the prayer. And heaven help us if we were caught with our eyes open.

And then we had to stand at attention by our seats, and Miss Crosby blew on a little

tin piece that gave us all the musical note to start on, and with our right hand over our hearts, we belted out “God Save the King”. Even those who couldn’t carry a note in a slop-pail were expected to sing! Or course Marguirite could be heard in Admaston!

Miss Crosby was high on manners.

It didn’t matter who came to the door at the Northcote School, we were expected to get out of our seats, noiselessly of course, and stand at attention until told to sit down. If it was the inspector, Miss Crosby would introduce him, and we had to say, and again in unison, “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon” and repeat the inspector’s name.

When Mother said Miss Crosby was a saint, I believed her. Her salary was only a few hundred dollars a year, and Mother said she earned every cent of it. And when you left the Northcote School, having graduated from the Entrance Class, you were ready for whatever road lay ahead. Miss Crosby saw to that.

Want to get the best price for your home? Turn to a real estate agent!

At first glance, selling a home doesn’t seem to be all that complicated: you appraise the value of your home, stick a “for sale” sign on your front lawn and wait for a serious buyer to call.

Unfortunately, selling a home is never that easy. It can be a long and complicated process that involves signing a legally binding contract.

Relying on the help of an experienced real estate agent can make all the difference between a straightforward process and a total nightmare. The first thing a real estate agent will do is accurately evaluate the value of your home based on a variety of factors, such as its location, the municipal services offered, the proximity of schools and businesses and the quality of the materials used in the home’s construction. He or she will also take into consideration the appearance of your home compared to others in the neighbourhood, the overall state of your home, the number of rooms and the value of similar homes

Ottawa Gala shining light on local charity

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – It’s time to celebrate some amazing people and one amazing local charity.

On Oct. 27 the ‘CTV Presents the Amazing People Gala In Support of SchoolBOX’ at the Ottawa Convention Centre is aiming to raise enough money to build a school in Nicaragua and help ‘Make Education Possible.’ Eric Collard, chair of the organizing committee, explained the idea for the event started last summer as he and CTV’s Kimothy Walker were chatting and the idea just came about, he says the stars aligned.

Walker has been telling stories about the power of the human spirit since the spring of 2011 every Thursday on CTV News at 6 p.m. “Why don’t we do a gala to highlight all of these amazing people and we can raise enough money to build a school in one night,� said Collard, and the idea was born.

At the AP Gala the CTV Amazing Person of the Year (for 2011 and 2012) and the CTV’s Viewers’ Choice Award (you can vote online www.ctvottawa.ca) will be announced. Everyone who has been profiled and up to 800 guests will have the red

The event raised $8,100 for the charity with 150 people dancing the night away with music by Latin Fusion. carpet rolled out for a night of celebration and dancing.

Collard praises Walker and CTV’s involvement in the event saying they have gone above and beyond in every way. “Kimothy and I we want the AP Gala to be fun,� said Collard enthusiastically. “We are highlighting local heroes.

There will not be a dry eye in the room, it’s so inspirational.

We want people to leave there inspired and full of hope for the next generation.�

Collard has been volunteering with SchoolBox for a few years and has been more than impressed by the Almonte charity. “They are a grassroots organization but they are very efficient and everyone is very genuine. They are providing education for people who would not otherwise receive it,� said Collard. “Almonte has such a great spirit and we want to replicate that at the AP Gala.�

Tom Affleck, president

and founder of SchoolBOX is extremely grateful for the amazing opportunity that has come through the hard work and dedication of both Walker and Collard. “We are so honoured to be a part of this amazing event,� said Affleck. “We look forward to using the success of the event to build a wonderful school for children who need it.�

Affleck believes it is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the efforts of some

truly amazing people in the community. “These are people who have reached out beyond themselves to touch the lives of others,� said Affleck. “These are outstanding stories of people who have reached so far beyond their abilities to empower others.�

Collard admits that everyone he meets in Almonte always wants to help out and knows what SchoolBOX is about. However, when you get to Ottawa a lot of people do not know SchoolBOX. “We are trying to extend SchoolBOX to Ottawa,� said Collard. “We are well on our way to being successful. This is for a good cause, for the kids.�

Affleck admits that this is fundraising on a level they have never experienced before and are excited as to what the AP Gala will bring. “We’ve never done a gala like this before,� added Affleck. “Of course we were nervous with the upfront costs and investments required. We are just ecstatic with the success of the event so far.�

Ticket sales are going well with 60 per cent of the tickets already sold with just under a month until the big event. The goal of the event is to raise $50,000 which will have a tremendous impact in Nicaragua.

Tickets cost $200 for the VIP individual ticket (includes VIP reception 6-7 p.m., gala, dinner 7-9 p.m., dancing, entertainment and a $100 tax receipt from SchoolBOX) and $150 for the individual ticket (includes gala, dinner, dancing, entertainment and a $75 tax receipt from SchoolBOX).

Collard admits that it is not a cheap outing for everyone. “We are trying to make it a magical night so people will remember it for awhile,� said Collard. “If we hit the goal we will be able to build a school.�

Although he admits, it has taken more than one night as he has a dedicated team of volunteers helping out and there is still a ways to go just yet.

Affleck is excited for what the night will bring. “Eric and Kimothy are champions who are making this happen, I can’t begin to express how grateful we are to the event organizers and CTV for this awesome opportunity,� said Affleck. “The profile and awareness it’s bringing to SchoolBOX and our mission to Make Education Possible is outstanding.�

Love Your Lake – provincial shoreline stewardship program launch EMC News – Love Your Lake, a new shoreline stewardship program starting in Ontario is being launched this fall through an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds for $147,500.

“I’m pleased that the Ontario Trillium Foundation has provided financial support to assist the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds in launching the Love Your Lake shoreline stewardship program,” said LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

“For 10 years, the Centre has worked with property owners on many projects to benefit our region’s watersheds. The co-operation and goodwill they have fostered has produced benefits for all citizens and I’m pleased to see it continue with this latest initiative.”

Love Your Lake will provide local organizations across Ontario with resources and training to deliver an engaging and effective program to help landowners protect and restore their shorelines, ultimately improving the health of their lakes. Resources will include communications and training materials, program manuals, and funding required to deliver the program.

This program was developed in partnership with the Canadian Wildlife Federation with regional collabo-

ration and support from partners across the province including the Lakeland Alliance, Peterborough Green Up, Muskoka Watershed Council, and the City of Greater Sudbury.

The program development integrates best practices and peer-reviewed methods and protocols that provide a province-wide standardized approach for shoreline evaluation and stewardship.

Previously, within each region, shoreline stewardship activities were carried out under the same goal of shoreline health, but with different methods. This standardized approach will help collect shoreline data that is consistent, measurable, and comparable both geographically and over time.

“We are really excited about taking this model across the province in partnership with existing organizations that are the experts in their regions in working with shoreline property owners. We hope that other groups in Ontario adopt this program based on our success as well,” says Barbara King, Executive Director of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds.

“As we see greater development along our waterfronts, it becomes increasingly important for property owners to take steps to be good shoreline

stewards,” says Rick Bates, Executive Director of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. “We want to ensure that we keep our lakes healthy for future generations to enjoy.”

About Centre for Sustainable Watersheds Since incorporation in 2002, Centre for Sustainable Watersheds has focused on protecting water quality in Canada’s lakes and rivers. It has been engaged with a diverse range of partners over the years.

CSW has developed programs designed to cultivate

water leaders through a variety of training and educational initiatives and to support their work by providing the necessary tools, technologies and resources.

Its goal is to help build water-conscious communities dedicated to safeguarding our treasured waterways.

Our vision is to see training programs, educational materials, web-based information sharing, sustainable wastewater technologies and hands-on initiatives such as habitat and shoreline protection delivered in a sustainable manner to

protect Canada’s lakes and rivers.

About Canadian Wildlife Federation The Canadian Wildlife Federation is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to fostering awareness and appreciation of our natural world. By spreading knowledge of human impacts on the environment, sponsoring research, developing and delivering education programs, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources, recommending changes to policy and co-

operating with like-minded partners, CWF encourages a future in which Canadians can live in harmony with nature. For more information visit CanadianWildlifeFederation.ca.

Official opening of High Lonesome Nature Reserve Oct. 21 EMC Events - On Friday, Sept. 28 more than 180 people turned out to help the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) protect High Lonesome Nature Reserve and maintain and develop its trails for public benefit.

With Michael Runtz as the keynote speaker, it was a hugely enjoyable and educational evening - and also a financial success for MMLTC. The proceeds from the dinner and silent auction, supplemented by three generous private donations, allowed MMLTC to reach its goal of contributing $20,000 to its Stewardship Monitoring Endowment Fund held by the Community Foundation of Ottawa. This amount will be matched under the Ontario Land Trust Alliance/Canadian Community Foundation program Caring for the Land You Love. Reason indeed to celebrate!

On Sunday, Oct. 21, the public will have an opportunity to attend the High Lonesome dedication ceremony and celebration of the long term conservation of this new Nature Reserve.

The MMLTC is grateful to the family of the late Barry Spicer who entrusted High Lonesome, Spicer’s beloved 200 acres wilderness property located in the Pakenham Hills to the MMLTC for conservation in perpetuity. This property is rich in natural values.

Three main and several lesser wetlands on the property form part of a provincially significant wetland complex. As a result of a bioblitz organized by the Land Trust in June, a species inventory was begun and over 675 species were recorded. Thanks to funding from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Species at Risk Stewardship Fund, additional inventory work is currently underway with a focus on targeted species at risk.

Special appreciation goes to Ken Spicer, Barry’s brother, for helping to shepherd the donation of High Lonesome through to completion and for Ken’s continuing dedication to the preservation and documentation of the natural values of this exceptional property. Thanks to his energetic efforts over the years, High Lonesome Nature Reserve has a network of trails that wander

up, down and through the forests, by beaver ponds, creeks and wetlands, trails that have been enjoyed by individuals and naturalists clubs alike.

To take full advantage of the nature reserve’s rich biodiversity, these trails will form the foundation for outdoor education, nature interpretation and recreation. Thanks to a grant from Mountain Equipment Co-op, the MMLTC plans to erect interpretive signs along the trails, describing the unique ecological features and wildlife habitat found there.

The dedication ceremony and celebration of High Lonesome has been planned for Sunday, Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. Following the ceremony, refreshments will be served and visitors will have an opportunity for a brief tour of the trails. To find the property from County Road 29 in Pakenham Village, drive west on Waba Road for 2.9 km. Turn left on Barr Side Road for 1.6 km, take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Road. A map with directions can be found on the MMLTC website at www.mmltc.ca.

Holley Edgerton (Donna Juanita) must show, in a very few scenes, the controlled evil of a villain that is trying to sabotage young love.

EMC Entertainment Comedy and romance come to the Carleton Place Town Hall this month, as the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre presents Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in the round, up close and personal with the audience, on the floor of the theatre.

This is the young players’ second foray into classical Shakespearean presentation - last year’s performance of Macbeth brought the murder, mayhem, and witchcraft to within touching distance of the front rows.

Now the young players will be giving the audience an intimate connection to the lovers’ quarrels, the malapropisms and the wordplay that is the hallmark of Shakespeare’s best-loved romantic comedy.

Director Mark Piper notes, however, that presenting a comedy – especially one in Shakespearian language – poses a different set of challenges than does a tragedy.

“In Macbeth, as in most tragedies, the majority of the action takes place with only a few people on stage – in fact, Shakespearian tragedy is famous for its monologues. In a comedy like Much Ado About Nothing, however, a lot of scenes take place with nearly the whole cast on stage – there’s a lot of ensemble work, which can often be a greater challenge for young actors.”

In this production, audience members will have to watch closely to pick up the secondary story that Jessica Kinnari (who plays Ursula) and Hayley Fortier (Antonia) are playing as subtext as they interact with the other actors in the ensemble scenes. Newcomer Amber Berndt (Friar Frances) also supports the group dialogue, while also remaining the audience’s surrogate, observing and commenting on the action for our benefit and straightening out all the chaos in the play, just in time for a happy ending.

Another challenge is that despite the fact that there are characters with fewer lines, there are no small parts. Explains Piper: “Leah West and Zach Williams, who play Mar-

Beetles—the group everyone knows EMC Lifestyle - The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) 20122013 public lecture series, Nature Beneath Our Feet, continues with the second presentation Oct. 18, “Ground Beetles—My Favourite Group.” You do not need to be an expert to enjoy the presentations— just possess a curiosity or appreciation for wild nature. Cottagers, hunters, fishermen, canoeists, hikers, campers, artists and seasoned field naturalists alike will find something to interest them as we explore what lives in Lanark County and how best to protect it for future generations.

Refreshments are offered at each lecture.

This month’s lecture will be presented by Dr. Henri Goulet, research scientist emeritus with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Henri will give us a tour

of the diversity and beauty of his favouite group of insects, which will be generously illustrated with species found in Lanark County.

Not surprisingly, the formative years of many great biologists, such as Charles Darwin, included the study of beetles. Beetles are easy to recognise and are attractive subjects for study. The 350 million species worldwide are found from pole to pole. There are more named species of beetles than there are named species of any other group.

Ground (carabid) beetles, in particular, contribute 1,700 species to the insect fauna of North America. Typically they hide by day under logs, or among rocks by the edge of ponds and rivers. The shiny black or metallic backs of these predators dart across the soil surface while we

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

Community celebrates opening of extended Baird Trail

By EMC STAFF

ly cut the grass and emptied the garbage container at the trailhead for a number of years.

Terry and Joanne Munro were on site for the opening of the trail.

“It’s really quite beautiful here,” Joanne said. “I tell all my friends about it. One thing I really enjoy here is taking a walk through the pines… the ground underfoot is so soft.

It’s a great place.”

Terry says the new trail opening is a great addition to the already popular hiking trail.

“This has been called one of the most beautiful trails in the area,” said Les Humphreys, LCMTC president. “It showcases important ecological values, giant maple and beech trees and evidence of pioneer farming, as well as red pine plantations. Each of the three loops of the Baird Trail offers a different perspective of the natural and cultural features of the property.”

The Baird Trail is one of 38 community forest lands managed by Lanark County, which provide social, recreational, economic, scientific, cultural and spiritual benefits to those who enjoy it.

county and a red pine plantation was planted as part of a conservation program.

LCMTC’s mandate is to design, develop, manage and promote motorized and non-motorized trails on county-owned property.

Donations and in-kind support help the organization to make improvements on the Baird Trail and other trails in community forests.

There are various ways to assist. Donors can purchase a bench on the Baird Trail (or Tay River Pathway in Perth) for $1,500 and provide wording for an associated commemorative plaque.

Donations of any amount can be made for general trail development across the county. The county’s public works department administers the donations on behalf of the trails corporation and tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more.

To get to the Baird Trail, from Lanark take Hwy. 511 north for 4 km to Herron Mills Road (County Road 8).

Turn right and travel east for 2 km to the intersection at Rodger Road. The Baird property entrance is on the left, 250 metres east of the Rodger Road intersection.

From Middleville, take County Road 8 south for 5 km. The entrance is 500 metres west of the Mitchell Road intersection.

Pioneer family settles property The property was first settled by a pioneer family in 1837 and supported basic food crops and livestock, with the forest providing lumber, fuel and maple syrup. The sandy soil was only marginal for agriculture, however, and the lowlands flooded often due to beaver dams. The land was left idle in the 1920s. In 1963, Margaret Baird sold the 36-hectare parcel to the

EMC News - It was a great day to meander through the woods in Lanark Highlands last week as the community celebrated the opening of a new loop on the Baird Trail off Herron Mills Road.

The Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation and its partners were on site for the opening.

Located at 2410 Herron Mills Road (County Road 8), the Baird Trail started as a 1.7-kilometre jaunt through forests that features boardwalks over a sedge wetland. The selfguided tour now totals 3 km in length and includes three loops and two boardwalks. It features a variety of woodland types, a beaver meadow and a new wetland, with interpretive panels pointing out salient features along the way. The LCMTC is working on a project to install more signage next year.

“This could not have been accomplished without the help of volunteers from Mississippi Valley Conservation and the Lanark County Stewardship Council, along with the hard work of LCMTC board members,” said Warden John Gemmell (Perth Deputy Mayor). “The new trail loop was designed and constructed by a group of volunteers from MVC, led

by Craig Cunningham, and the Lanark County Stewardship Rangers assisted with the construction of the boardwalk on the new loop.”

One of the new loops, the Munro Loop, is named after Willingdon “Welly” Clarence Munro, a neighbouring property owner who passed away in April at age 83. Munro voluntari-

Defeat denial during Mental Illness Awareness Week EMC News - Mental Illness Awareness Week marks an annual national public education campaign designed to open the eyes of Canadians to the reality of mental illness.

As part of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s mission to fight the stigma and discrimination that keeps people living with mental illness in the dark, CAMH recently launched the Defeat Denial campaign.

This awareness campaign calls attention to the many ways we minimize mental illness. Provocative phrases like, “just snap out of it,� “you’re imagining things,� and “you’re making a big deal out of nothing� challenge people to rethink their attitudes and

how we treat people with mental illness.

This fall, CAMH launched a new phase of the campaign and are encouraging people to submit DIY videos telling us how they will defeat denial.

Marianne Andarolo recalls going to her family physician for help and being told that all she needed was a good meal and a nap.

She was reluctant to seek help again.

It was only after a public incident when she was brought to hospital by police that she was properly diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder. “People with mental illness are not abnormal,� she said. “I lead a happy and successful life and I have an illness, just like people

who live successfully with other medical conditions – mine just happens to be mental, not physical. There is help available and people shouldn’t be ashamed to seek it out.�

Jackie Nourse has lived with depression for most of her life. As a teenager she remembers something “just not being right,� yet her doctor told her that she needed to be happy because she had a lot to be thankful for and she was worrying and upsetting her mother.

Today she is able to

manage the illness through treatment and medication. “I want people to know that there is hope for mental illness,� Nourse said. “We’ve come a long way with effective treatments, but what good does this do if those who need help are afraid to reach out? I went many years believing I had done something wrong and that I wasn’t as good as everybody else. It’s only through finding the right support and treatment, gaining my own acceptance and understanding

of my illness and openly talking about it, that I now know I didn’t do anything wrong and that I’m no different than anyone else. “As with any illness, having a mental illness is not a willful act and if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone.�

According to a recent survey, only 50 per cent of Canadians would tell others that a person in their family had a mental illness, whereas 75 per cent would disclose cancer. With silence comes stigma and

discrimination.

The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, as well as one of the world’s leading research centres in the area of addiction and mental health. CAMH combines clinical care, research, education, policy development and health promotion to help transform the lives of people affected by mental health and addiction issues.

EMC Events - It is hard to believe 10 years have passed since a group of volunteers from the Lanark County Genealogical Society opened the doors of the former Drummond Township Office at 1920 Concession 7, Drummond. However it’s true and celebrations will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Ferguson Falls Community Hall from 1-4 p.m. when everyone is invited to share some of the achievements since 2002.

Archives Lanark was founded to provide a home for the Ontario Land Records that were about to be destroyed as a cost saving measure by the Ontario Government of the time(1990’s). Provincially based historical groups protested, asking for time to find a place in each county where their records could be stored but also made available to the public for research. As the only county wide group, the Lanark County Genealogical Society was given this task and began the search for a building that would be suitable and affordable. Since Drummond and North Elmsley had amalgamated, the Society was able to rent the former Drummond offices for a reasonable fee. The collection has grown so much that a humidity controlled storage unit is also rented. The dream continues to be a climate-controlled facility, accessible to all, with a full time paid archivist- maybe in the next 10 years!

The Archives recently became an independent, not-forprofit, charitable organization with its own identity, Archives Lanark, and Board of Directors.

Corporate status in the Province of Ontario was granted in 2011.

The Lanark County Genealogical Society continues its close affiliation with a majority representation on the Board of the Archives.

As many of the volunteers and visitors spring from a background of family research, there is a huge collection of family histories-many donated by people grateful for the help they received there. One such person from Seattle donated a 600 page book on the Shane, Bayne & Ellis families since he found their early roots in the White Lake area when looking at our land records. However the next year, he also donated 20 large binders containing all the original copies of birth certificates, census listings, etc. that he had scanned here, in North Dakota and back in Germany. He feared his children weren’t interested but realized other family historians would be.

Since we are in a rural area, the preservation of Women’s Institute Tweedsmuir Histories, 4-H and Junior Farmer records as well as local service clubs is a main focus. So many WI branches have disbanded lately that there is a danger of these wonderful books that have original photos and farm histories being sold at a sale or thrown out. Many of the Tweedsmuir Books have been useful to visitors to the archives.

Clyde Bell, formerly from

Perth and editor of the newspaper in Tweed, left several scrapbooks of his time in Junior Farmers and his work with the early Perth Museum. These have proved valuable lately when Allan Donaldson is using them to document the history of the Wilson mineral collection.

Other collections donated by local historians and scrapbookers offer our visitors a wealth of information on most areas of the County.

The most valuable resource remains our volunteers who assist visitors to find what they’re looking for. It is quite common to have someone on duty who has a connection to the family of the visitor so progress is much faster than when one goes to a facility where you have to do all your own searching.

We hear comments such as “I found out so much more here than at the Ontario or the National Archives” but we think many don’t realize we rely on donations. Apart from Lanark County, which provides limited funding, government grants are rare in these times of fiscal restraint.

The other noticeable change in the past 10 years is the number of people using ancestry. com who think they can get all their family info from there.

They find out that the local facility has many more church and cemetery records plus there are many mistakes online where generations have been mixed up and mistakes seldom get corrected (only repeated).

Less than 10 volunteers keep the facility open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. –3 p.m. until Thanksgiving and alternate days in the winter. Not only do they keep the facility open, but they put in many hours behind the scenes arranging and cataloguing. Check the website for more details-www.globalgenealogy.com/archiveslanark.

The Oct. 20 event will feature displays, music by “Memory Lane”, refreshments and a continuous slide show of the past 10 years. A special feature will be a presentation by Doug Bell from the Perth area of a treasured 1820 artifact and related original documents.

Writers of recently published books on Lanark County will have their books for sale in the Author’s Corner and both the Archives and the Genealogical Society will have their recent releases for sale.

Orders will be taken for the next Rural School books to be published - Drummond, Ramsay & Pakenham Townships as well as for a reprint of the very popular Beckwith book.

Stories and photos are still being accepted for the upcoming schoolbooks.

The secret to making the ultimate Peach Cake

25 STOREWIDE

Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Stuff mixer, to mix the batter.

Stir until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. If the peaches in the pie filling are in large slices, break them into smaller pieces with the spoon.

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, and bake at 325F for about 35 minutes.

Check with a toothpick to make sure the cake is done.

If not, bake for another five minutes, and test again.

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven, and let it cool for 5 minutes. If you used a Bundt pan, turn the cake out on a rack. If you used a 9â&#x20AC;?x13â&#x20AC;? pan, leave the cake in the pan. Cool completely before serving.

This cake is very moist and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need icing. If you want to serve it with something else, a dollop of whipped cream is nice.

This recipe makes a large cake, but it freezes well. This is handy if there are only two of you. To freeze, cut the cake into manageable, place each portion in a tightlysealed plastic container, and freeze.

Homemade Peach Filling 398 mL can of peaches, ei-

ther slices or halves, in their own juice water (see directions below for the amount) 1/4 cup flour If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find canned peach pie filling, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to make a homemade version.

Drain the canned peaches, reserving the juice and pouring it into a measuring cup.

Add enough water to make one cup of liquid.

Combine the peach-water liquid with the flour in a small plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Cover, hold the lid firmly, and shake well. Pour this into a small saucepan.

Cook the mixture, over medium heat, for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a sauce. Cool completely.

While the sauce cools, cut the canned peaches into pieces about the size of a walnut.

When the sauce is cool, stir in the cut-up peaches.

Use this homemade peach mixture, instead of the canned pie filling, in the cake recipe.

EMC Lifestyle - Several years ago, I featured a recipe in my column for a cake made with peach pie filling.

In less than a week, supermarkets and grocery stores from Brockville to Ottawa were completely sold out of peach pie filling. As a result of it being so hard to find, I developed a recipe for a quick, homemade peach pie filling to use in the cake.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as convenient as the canned version, but it has more peaches and less sugar.

Due to popular request, here are both recipes, one for the cake and the other for the homemade peach pie filling.

The ingredients for the cake are simple -- white cake mix, peach pie filling, eggs, and almond flavouring.

The Ultimate Peach Cake 1 white cake mix 1 can (540 mL) peach pie filling (if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any, see below for the recipe) 4 eggs, beaten 1 1/4 tsp. almond extract 1 tbsp. Amaretto liqueur (optional) Ignore the directions on the cake mix package. The batter does not need any other liquids.

Butter and lightly flour either a Bundt pan or a 9â&#x20AC;?x13â&#x20AC;? cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, pie filling, eggs, flavouring and liqueur if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using it use a spoon, not an electric

Service intervals and avoiding automotive assault

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

Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER

and 10 p.m. daily, largely coinciding with peaks in traffic volume.â&#x20AC;? But some of the conditions noted might raise a few eyebrows.

It was found that road conditions were dry for 81 per cent of the incidents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Limited available data suggest that there was evidence of alcohol and/or drug use observed in seven per cent of drivers and in 28 per cent of the pedestrians, toxicology was positive for drugs, alcohol or both. While two per cent of pedestrians struck by a motor vehicle will die, this rises to 48 per cent for intoxicated pedestrians.â&#x20AC;?

Driver distraction was pegged as a possible contributing factor for 14 per cent of the collisions and in 20 per cent of the events, pedestrian absent-mindedness may have been a cause according to the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors.

The report didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lay any general blame with either the driving or walking group but both could take some important lessons from this

report. As much as avoiding distractions while driving (such as cell phones, electronics, and such) is crucial to safe motoring, the same applies to those on foot.

While we have made inroads into improving some driver behaviours, other ar-

eas need work. One of the most noticeable is audio system volumes, both incar and in pedestriansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ears.

When music is played at upper level volumes a major sense, hearing, is eliminated from the tools we need to drive and walk safely. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not suggesting we need more legislation, just a lot more common sense.

ponents that are inspected during a routine maintenance service and they may require lubrication, adjustment, or repair. Keep in mind, your Caravan is equipped with an automated oil-life reminder system and that short drives, or stop and start traffic, or operation in extreme cold or hot temps may cause this system to request an oil change as early as 5,500 km.

My recommendation is to have an inspection twice a year. Whether or not you get oil changes is up to you, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d at least have a tech inspect the oil level and condition in order to make an appropriate recommendation. These services are usually priced at reasonable levels and often discounted as part of marketing and advertising programs.

EMC Lifestyle - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, I have a new Dodge Caravan.

According to the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual the first oil change is due at 8,000 km. The dealership is telling me that in Canada the first change should be at 5,000 km. This is supposedly because of harsher weather conditions in Canada. I find this hard to believe. If it were true, surely Chrysler would publish an ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual for different areas of the country as the conditions are very different in say, Arizona and Michigan. I am a single woman pensioner and feel I am being taken for a ride!

I would really appreciate your opinion on this.â&#x20AC;?

Sincerely Chris Thanks for the inquiry.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not alone when trying to match what an automaker recommends in their ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manuals and what a dealership service department may be telling you. The biggest problem with longer service intervals is that for drivers that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commute on a daily basis they may not provide frequent enough inspections.

If you drive less than 10,000 km per year, you could go almost a year between service visits. While the engine oil may not have any problem with this, there are hundreds of other com-

WASTE REDUCTION WEEK IN CANADA

OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2012 There are more and more waste reduction options available to residents of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Here are some of the newer options available to you: “Building Success One Student at a Time!”

David K. Thomas Director of Education

It’s hard to believe that next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the invention of the Blue Box program in Kitchener, Ontario and that the world has adopted the program.

It’s encouraging to see that in that time, we have moved up the hierarchy of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, to be recycling more materials, and to be focusing more on Reuse.

Producer Responsibility is helping to do this. Producer Responsibility is the concept of making the manufacturers and retailers more responsible for the materials they produce. Since they now pay approximately 40% of the municipal cost of waste disposal and recycling, they are using their ingenuity to reduce costs. It also means that business is now finding ways to collect and recover more usable materials from our waste.

1702 9th Line, Beckwith 613-257-1539 www.twp.beckwith.on.ca

In this region, municipalities, non-profits and businesses are taking additional steps. Here are some examples: Take It Back Recyclopedia – www.REALaction.ca, Waste tab, Take It Back Recyclopedia. The municipalities of North Grenville, Perth, Mississippi Mills and Smiths Falls are supporting this REAL initiative that tells you exactly which retailers and non-profits will take back a whole range of items for Reuse, Recycling and proper disposal. This one-stop site lists everything from tires, to art, batteries, books, building supplies, cell phones, clothing, fluorescent light bulbs, electronics, furniture, hazardous waste, paint, pet meds, sports equipment, toiletries, and even weapons.

Battery Recycling – The Town of Smiths Falls is about to embark on a pick-up program for small batteries. Bins will be placed around town and Cascades Recovery will pick them up and recycle them at their facilities.

Organics Composting – More urban municipalities are looking to Perth’s lead in curb-side pick-up of organics.

township.www.montague.on.ca

Plastics – More plastics are now being recycled, and are easier to dispose of either through expanded Blue Box programs, or dump depots.

Exchange or Swap Days – Now common in the area.

Electronic Recycling – Electronics are now received at a number of locations in the region, and at some municipal dumps.

Hardy group survives heavy storm at MVFN Canoe Camp in Algonquin Park EMC Lifestyle - Coming through a drenching rain and high winds, which emptied most of Achray campsite in Eastern Algonquin Park, 41 members of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) actually enjoyed the challenges at their fifth annual Canoe Camp, Sept. 7 to 10. By pooling all picnic tables and camp stoves under a huge tarpaulin, members were able to continue cooking comfortably and taking part in activities in relative dryness. A few personal tents didn’t stand up to the continuous overnight downpour and six members packed up and went home to get dried out.

At the Friday evening opening activities, Camp Leader Cliff Bennett welcomed all and introduced the camp committee members and explained their roles. Health and Safety leader Graham Hunt talked about regulations and practices the participants would be following to keep everyone as safe as possible during the next three day’s paddling. Doug YoungerLewis and Joyce Clinton

revealed the activities and program items to choose from during the camp and the sign-up process to be used.

On Saturday, after the rain eased, the members divided into three activity groups. While one group chose to do the hike to High Falls and area, the other two decided to paddle in the rain; one travelling up Grand Lake and the other exploring around the local bays and wetlands. The Grand Lake group just got off the water in the afternoon when a real tempest stirred up the water’s surface.

Sunday saw the paddlers join into three explorations.

One group paddled across Grand Lake and up to the Carcajou Bay Falls, another cruised down the east side of Stratton Lake to explore the top of High Falls while the third group took the west side of Stratton, through a series of portages and small lakes to explore the bottom of High Falls.

‘Seeing Nature from the Water’ was the theme of the camp and an impressive list of flora and fauna were seen. Thirty species of

birds were listed including a barred owl, common merganser, ring-necked duck and green-winged teal, brown creeper, red-tailed hawk and great crested flycatcher. One black bear was spotted in the distance, a wolf and its juvenile appeared right behind one of the tents during the night and a painted turtle and a beaver were filmed during a canoe trip.

Dining was a great feature of the camp and members served each other a pot-luck dinner on both Saturday and Sunday evenings. A formal campfire program was conducted on Sunday evening with many skits, songs and stories creating good laughter and camaraderie.

After breaking camp on Monday, members had many choices including canoeing the famous Barron Canyon, exploring McGrath Lake or doing the hiking trail to the top of Barron Canyon. All returned home, happy and tired, without even a single scratch or upset canoe.

Arne Snyder chaired the camp organizing committee, which started meeting

in April to prepare all of the details, site reservations, site lay-outs and registration of participants.

The location for next year, MVFN’s sixth annual Canoe Camp, has not yet been settled but the dates will be Sept. 6 to 9, 2013.

The MVFN canoeing program is a part of the Program Committee, chaired by Cathy Keddy. A new season of MVFN’s natural history lecture series has now begun at the Almonte United Church at 106 Elgin St. in Almonte. The next lecture will be held Thursday, Oct. 18; the presentation Beetles on the Ground will be given by well-known scientist Dr. Henri Goulet, Research Scientist Emeritus with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa. For further information please visit mvfn.ca or contact Cathy Keddy at 613-257-3089.

EMC Sports – Smiths Falls Bears find themselves in first place in the Central Canada Tier 1 Junior A Hockey League’s Robinson Division standings.

Big reasons for that are some outstanding individual performances over the first month of the regular season.

Tyler Akeson is Player of the Month. Akeson had a great month for the Bears scoring 13 points (all assists) in 10 games from the back-end. The Ottawa native plays in all situations and leads all defencemen in league scoring.

Joining him this month is Bears netminder Patrick Martin who earns Goalie of the Month honours. Martin, who was Player of the Week in week 2 continued his stellar play going 6-3 overall for September. The 20 year-old goalie leads the league in wins and started every game in September.

Hunter Racine of the Ottawa Junior Senators is the Rookie of the Month award winner. Racine has adjusted nicely to the Junior A game scoring six points (3G, 3A) in seven games and is currently tied for rookie league scoring.

The speedy right winger is one of the reasons that the Ottawa Junior Senators are currently first in the Yzerman Division and ranked 13th in the country.

Honorable mentions Player of the Month – Forward Luke Edwards (Carleton Place Canadians) and forward Michael Buonincontri (Smiths Falls Bears).

Goalie of the Month – Brandon Lane (Kanata Stallions) and Matt Zawadzki (Nepean Raiders).

Rookie of the Month – D Kelly Summers (Carleton Place Canadians) and F Steve Cooney (Kemptville 73’s).

Spy thriller may lack grit but offers audience a fun ride are tense but that’s nothing new.

They anchor the sailboat in a bay near a small village. Will decides to get some space from his father, and swims into the village. When he gets back the boat is missing. When Will finds it there’s no one aboard. Someone has taken his family.

Will is suddenly caught in the middle of a spy game.

His father isn’t the man he claimed to be but a CIA operative. Martin took a briefcase from enemy agents, and they’ve kidnapped his family to get it back. It falls to Will to navigate his way through this world of lies and deception in order to save his family.

The Cold Light of Day isn’t a bad spy film. The story certainly captures

My Take MARK HASKINS

your interest, and has plenty of twists and turns.

The chase scenes are frantic, and the performances are solid. I liked the idea of Will being plunged into this world with no warning, no training, and no tools to deal with it. What I didn’t like was the poor camera work. Night scenes were very difficult to see, the camera jumped around for no reason during the chase scenes making it hard to follow. Close-ups were oddly cropped making it difficult to tell what was

going on. The whole thing looked a bit like a high school project instead of a major motion picture.

Henry Cavil gives a good performance. Will is a man on edge being equal parts scared, intense and angry, and Cavil nails it.

GIVE SOMEONE A SECOND CHANCE. Discuss organ donation with your family.

THE KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF CANADA

Lucia, Will’s half sister. She gets pulled into this whole mess along with Will. She’s scared and equally unprepared for what’s going on.

Echegui gives a very honest and compelling performance.

The Cold Light of Day is a good story. There were a few odd parts that seem overly complicated, and parts of the film look amateurish, but it’s a good story none-the-less.

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

Speaking of perfect casting Sigourney Weaver is ideal as agent Carrack, the woman making Will’s life miserable. Carrack, to put it in polite terms, is ruthless. She’s as bad as bad guys get, and Weaver is totally believable in the role.

From Cattle to Cars: Local entrepreneur has positive impact on community When the Phillips Cables’ plant in Brockville closed in 1996, Arnold Dixon figured it was time for a change.

Having worked there for a quarter century, since the age of 18, Dixon eventually landed on his feet with a new job at Shell Canada, but he felt he wanted more.

“I said to myself, if I’m going to do something different, I’ve got to do it now,” he recalled.

That something different was to enter the world of business, a path that has proven successful.

The Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce named Dixon, now 57, Brockville’s 2011 Business Person of the Year.

“It was totally unexpected,” Dixon recalled. “I was, I guess, somewhat overwhelmed when they told me about it.”

Dixon’s local businesses include Dixon car and truck Rentals and pre owned vehicle sales in Kingston, Kia of Brockville/ Na-ES R E -E

TA B L

tional Car Rental business on Stewart Boulevard, the neighboring CARSTAR Collision, Brockville Dry Cleaners on Stuart Street, and Dixon’s Car Sales and Collision in Perth.

He recently purchased the former Algonquin Public School building and is in the process of converting it into housing units for adult living.

In addition to his operating several businesses, Dixon also farms 550 acres of land, raising beef cattle and Clydesdale horses.

Of course, he does not do all of this on his own.

“I have a lot of great people that work with me.”

That great help includes his son, Adam, who takes care of the Perth business and his daughter, Ashley, who works with all locations.

Dixon is also quick to credit his staff for the success of his businesses.

A native of the North Augusta area, Dixon was raised on a dairy farm run by his father, Ivan, who also served

as Augusta Township’s deputy-reeve.

He still lives on Dixon Road in Augusta Township, a road named after his great-grandparents. He also has four sisters and three brothers.

A graduate of South Grenville District High School, Dixon always had an interest in business. He helped his dad with the farm’s books, and that big change he made, a year after the Phillips plant closed, was to buy the Brockville Dry Cleaners.

Wanting to go further into business, he bought the National Tilden Car Rentals business from Stuart and Roma Simpson a year later.

“I knew nothing about the car rental business and Roma stayed and helped train me and show me the way,” Dixon recalled.

In operating that business, Dixon also sold used cars–to customers wanting to buy the rental vehicles they drove regularly—and eventually decided to dive into the car dealArnold Dixon ership trade.

Heritage event focuses on main streets

Inside

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

Since opening earlier this year the clinic has completed the in-take process for approximately 400 patients with a total workload capacity of 3,200. Those interested in receiving care from the clinic must first register with Health Care Connect at 1-800-4451822 or online at http:// www.health.gov.on.ca/en/ms/ healthcareconnect/public/.

Premier Dalton McGuinty expressed his congratulations in the form of a letter, which Leeann Brennan, administrative lead, read out to the grand opening crowd.

“The health of Ontarians is one of our most important resources,” McGuinty wrote, adding he is most pleased to see Nurse Practitioners taking a larger role in health care.

Following the brief

EMC Events - The Smiths Falls Municipal Heritage Committee (MHC) is hosting the first Rural Heritage Preservation Symposium in Smiths Falls aimed at inspiring conversation and creativity around what is possible on main streets.

“Everything on main street is a story and we need to somehow find out how to tell it,” said Anne Shropshire, Smiths Falls MHC chair.

Coun. Lorraine Allen is a member of the MHC and shared her excitement in hosting the symposium in Smiths Falls focusing on downtowns.

“For me, the downtown core is the heart of our community. There are so many exciting possibilities with the purchase of the Hotel Rideau, our pedestrian improvement project and the revitalization project led by Councillor Cummings and the DBA,” Allen said. “For me, this symposium will present us with new ideas and perspectives as we continue to focus on improving “our main streets”.

Reservations are now being accepted for the full-day (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) information session on Friday, Oct. 26 at the Station Theatre. Those interested can do so through Niki McKernan at the Town Hall. Please have your $15 registration fee with you. The symposium includes morning refreshments and a lunch.

Organizers of the event are pleased to host this first ever event at the Station Theatre as it’s one of the best examples of a discussion topic to be covered that day.

“It’s the best example of adaptive reuse,” Shropshire said. “Adaptive reuse is actually more economically effective than tearing down and

EMC News - With the cutting of a ribbon the staff and patients of Smiths Falls’ Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic celebrated their much-awaited opening and the positive impact the clinic will have on the community.

A number of industry colleagues and patients gathered at the front doors of the Abbott Street clinic Thursday, Sept. 27 to make the addition of the new clinic to health care services in the region formal.

“This couldn’t have come at a better time,” said mayor Dennis Staples. “We’ve looked forward to this day for a couple of years.”

Funding for the local clinic was first announced in August 2010 as part of the province’s third wave of funding. Since

then a lot of work has gone into securing a location, undergoing extensive renovations and hiring staff. Nancy Unsworth, clinic executive director, has been leading the charge in all of this work just as she’s been there from the moment of its first proposal.

“We’re extremely proud of this newly renovated building,” Unsworth said on behalf of her colleagues.

The Sept. 27 opening served as a means to formally thank Unsworth for her vision and hard work undertaken to bring a Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic to the area. Unsworth learned about this health care model when she visited the first location in northern Ontario in 2008.

It was then that she knew it could help orphaned patients here in the Smiths Falls area.

“Nancy is a very compas-

sionate person with a tremendous tenacity,” said former colleague and mentor, Dorothy Broeders-Morin. “She is passionate about providing quality care.”

The clinic is designed with a multi-disciplinary service in mind. Preventative treatment such as dietitian, pharmacist and social worker can be found just off the front lobby and check-in desk while the primary health care treatment is done in another wing that is closed off from this general area for privacy and containment purposes. In this space a total of eight exam rooms, some with pediatric beds, have been set up in addition to a nursing station hub and executive offices. Both areas have access to the wheel chair washrooms, while the boardroom and kitchen area is in the exam area.

Lombard Glen G&CC smashes food bank donation record

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News - If hundreds of Smiths Falls and area children who frequent the food bank could say one thing to the golf leagues at Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club it would be thank you.

Thanks to the unbelievable generosity of league and club members, the annual Thursday Ladies Night season closer raised a whooping $7,807.97 and 3,000 lbs of food for the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank Sept. 30.

“My God it was tremendous,” remarked Carolyn Barr, food bank manager. “It brought tears to my eyes.”

The donation was well timed for the food bank whose shelves were getting fairly bare after the back-toschool rush. Barr said some of the donated funds will be used to purchase fresh vegetables to give to clients. In these hard economic times the food bank is seeing an average of 16 new clients every month. Overall, the manager

Nancy Garton, member of the Thursday Ladies Night Golf League Committee stands in front of the league’s 2012 season closing fundraiser results. This year the entire club gave $7,807.97 and 3,000 lbs of food to the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank and plans are to top that next year.

said the Russell Street facility welcomes an average of 536 clients a month.

“I would say over half are children,” she added.

This year’s contribution from the Thursday Ladies Night golf closing night more than doubled the success achieved last year. Nancy Garton, Ladies Night committee member, said the spectacular result is thanks to everyone at the club who contributed, including business sponsors who have offered raffle items throughout the season.

“Everyone was on board that day,” Garton said of sponsors. “It wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for them.”

The Ladies Night initially began their fundraising for the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank three years ago as a way to thank the sponsors for helping make the league what it is. That first year they raised $835 and 800 lbs. of food, which grew into $3,000 the next year (2011) by opening it up to other leagues and club members. Garton feels

it is through these same venues that the annual food bank fundraiser can grow once more by encouraging other leagues at Lombard Glen to begin fundraising at the season’s start.

“We will. We will do it,” Garton added of raising the league’s goal next year. “I would love to challenge other golf clubs to do the same.”

This year’s closing theme was Christmas in September as a reminder that it is better to give than receive. That warm feeling of giving to others was evident in the room Sept. 30, according to Garton and Barr.

“I couldn’t believe the women’s faces in here when we showed them that cheque.

I’ll never forget it,” Garton said.

The local food bank is looking for a number of items to fill their shelves, including lunch items such as juice boxes and snack packs, tuna, cereal, pasta sauce, brown beans, canned fruit, stew, jam and peanut butter.

tendees. The symposium aims to be a venue of education for all of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Smiths Falls with the hope of dispelling some myths associated with heritage designation and preservation.

“It’s to get people to honour their heritage and be proud of it. That’s what makes a community,” Shropshire said.

Heritage designation is tied to specific heritage attributes of a building and very of-

ten doesn’t impact the entire structure.

This upcoming event is the most recent in a list of other educational presentations the MHC hopes to offer. Shropshire said the committee is very interested in speaking to local organizations, including schools, the Chamber and Downtown Business Association and plans to begin scheduling these visits in the new year.

building new.”

The day will feature three keynote speakers.

• Inspiration from Peterborough Ken Doherty, director of community service department in Peterborough will be walking audience members through this eastern Ontario city’s journey to becoming the leader in cultural heritage preservation in the province. Doherty will cover the importance of built heritage, designation, adaptive re-use and how municipalities can play a role in seeing the community’s vision turned into a reality. Through their efforts in heritage preservation,

Peterborough received the Lt. Governor’s Award and Prince of Wales Award for heritage.

• Revitalizing Saskatchewan’s Mainstreet Program Jim Mountain, cultural developer in Ottawa will be weaving his experience in working with the western city to revitalize their mainstreets together with concrete local examples of Smiths Falls opportunities and the challenges for rural communities.

• Catherine Naismith of Catherine Naismith Architect will wrap up presentations with a discussion on mainstreets as old growth forests. This presentation looks

at mainstreets as irreplaceable urban fabric due to its role in the creative economy.

Naismith will be adding her thoughts to the idea of conservation, diversity and regeneration.

“I’m anticipating coming out of this feeling like we can take on mainstreet,” Shropshire added of Naismith.

“She’s kind of a hero of mine in heritage preservation.”

The upcoming session is very timely for Smiths Falls who has been talking about a major Beckwith Street reconstruction for some years now. Shropshire hopes to see a diverse group from the community represented at the Oct. 26 event.

“It’s open to anybody and everybody,” Shropshire adds.

“There are so many organizations that have a vested interest in it.”

Information sharing will be the theme of the day and will extend beyond the formal presentations listed above. The committee is welcoming area heritage organizations to a table on the floor where brochures and other information pieces can be displayed for at-

The Gravel Doctor named townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Business of the Year EMC Business - The Gravel Doctor was named the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley 2012 Business of the Year.

The formal announcement was made Oct. 4 during the award luncheon at the Cedar Valley Golf & Country Club in Forthton.

Orval Droppo and Rick Brennan, representing The Gravel Doctor, accepted the award from Mayor Jim Pickard and economic development chairperson, Jim Miller, extending thanks to the committee and the community for the honour.

The Business of the Year Award honours businesses that have demonstrated excellence in their field, longevity, innovation and involvement in their community.

When describing this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner, Miller stated that The Gravel Doctor â&#x20AC;&#x153;has opened in the township for 15 years and employs 20 full-time staff which increases during the winter.

Miller noted the expansion of services with The Gravel Doctor now offering asphalt paving, stone masonry and stone facing, sidewalks and

curbing, property maintenance, as well as interlock driveways, decks, fences, windows and doors.

Miller also commented that The Gravel Doctor is very supportive of local organizations in the community.

The committee received six nominations for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award: â&#x20AC;˘ Country Kitchen Catering â&#x20AC;˘ The Gravel Doctor â&#x20AC;˘ Raymond D. Deir Construction Co. Ltd. â&#x20AC;˘ Spracklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen & Bath Centre â&#x20AC;˘ Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm Equipment (Jasper) Ltd. In acknowledgement of the accomplishments of the nominees, the committee presented each with a certificate recognizing their excellence.

Miller outlined the goals of the committee and updated those in attendance on activities the committee has undertaken over the past years, which included the improved and extended roads in the business park.

Miller noted the success of the 2012 business fair/big tent sale, which drew twice as

many visitors as last year.

As well, new signage has been installed at the business park, hoping to increase awareness of lots still available.

The committee chair welcomed guest speaker Senator Hugh Segal who addressed those in attendance with his usual wit and sense of humour.

The Senator emphasized the importance of small businesses to the continued growth of communities and offered his assistance to businesses.

Mayor Pickard presented Joe Hudson, chairman and chief executive officer of Burnbrae Farms with an Award of Excellence in recognition of his vision and exemplary entreprenuership and leadership in turning a school project at Brockville Collegiate Institute into Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest egg producer.

My Town’s Got Talent finale Oct. 26 Once again, the talented youth of Lanark County came out to audition for this year’s show. “We had over 50 performers – dancers, singers, duets, trios, poets and musicians – audition”, said Artistic Director Christy Bindhardt, “and it was really tough to choose the 15 semi-finalists.

“We were blown away by the talent this year – the variety and the depth was amazing. Truly, it is the best yet!”

What started off as a dream of Notre Dame High School student Jeff Gourgon, has turned into an annual event, with the show now in its third year. Auditions were held last week in Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, and Perth at local high schools – Almonte District, Notre Dame Catholic, Smiths Falls & District and Perth & District. “We really appreciate the support of the schools, and both the UCDSB and CDSBEO for letting us use their facilities – it makes it so much easier for the youth to access the auditions”, noted the show’s Producer, Fraser Scantlebury, of the United Way Lanark County. “Our finale will be at the Mason

Theatre at Perth & District Collegiate Institute on October 26th – admission is by donation at the front door, and we are looking forward to a great show, with our fantastic youth talent!”

“At the Finale, the semifinalists will perform for the audience and our panel of celebrity judges from Lanark County, who will select the five finalists,” according to Bindhardt, “and these acts will then perform once again, with the audience selecting the final winner. Each year the voting for the top five has been close, and we expect the same this year, with such a talented group of performers.”

Bindhardt went on to explain a new addition to the selection process of the finalists this year. “We are allowing the fans to help choose the final five, by allowing them to vote for their favorite act, by donating $5 on-line to the United Way Lanark County, at www.mtgt.org. There will be video there from the auditions, and more video to come later in the month. These votes will be combined with the celebrity judges’ choices

to select the final five.” Like last year, the final five will return to the stage for one more performance. “Then, it’s up to the audience to select the winner of MTGT for 2012”, said Bindhardt, “as each member of the audience receives one ballot to vote for their choice, to see who will take home the title of Best in Lanark County, back to their hometown!”

The 15 semi-finalists are: duet Amanda Reside & Phillippa MacDonald, Zach Dods AKA Dj FrOsT, dancer Lauren Mendham, singer Alexander Cox, a trio - Sara Milligan, Max Berkowitz, & Liam Mansfield, singer Seo-Yeon Park, dancer Joshua Ivens, singer and pianist Ray Billiald, singer Monica Guerin, guitarist and singer Danny Bower, singer Keala Traversy, slam poet Santinka Schilling, singer Miranda Wilson, acoustic guitarist Isaiah Kafrissen, and a trio, Jovian Sound - Elizabeth Pierman, Tom Coyne, & Jono Townsend.

“These performers will provide the audience with a tough choice,” according to Bindhardt, “any one of these acts could be number one!”

Mayor urges all to include United Way in 2012 giving

tions for ongoing services but noted these services are needed now more than ever.

Scantlebury urged everyone in the room to be the every day hero the United Way continues to recruit.

“Change starts right here in this room,” he added. “We grow when we work together.”

To do this, individuals can made a personal donation online through a secure Pay Pal account (www.lanarkunitedway.com), sign up for payroll deductions, or consider having a virtual party. This concept involves inviting your contacts on email or Facebook to a virtual party. Those people can then choose to make a donation to United Way at home without all the stress but all the benefits of hosting a physical party.

Halloween fundraiser Another way to support the work of United Way is to join the centre for youth at the County Fair Mall Saturday, Oct. 27 when they will once again host Halloween fun for all. From 1 to 3 p.m. the community is welcome to go through a haunted fun house, decorate holiday cookies and have their face painted for a donation to United Way. The haunted house is appropriate for those aged six to 12.

That evening from 6 to 8 p.m. the mall’s annual Halloween bash will be taking place. Dress up in your costume and trick or treat from store-to-store in the safe, well lit area of the mall.

For more information on how you can help please log on to the United Way’s website (listed above).

EMC News – The mayor of Smiths Falls is hoping his town will come to the plate and help the United Way of Lanark County reach its $330,000 campaign goal.

To start that ball rolling Dennis Staples is taking payroll deduction forms for the 100 or so municipal staff to consider.

This was part of the mayor’s brief comments made during the Oct. 4 United Way campaign kick-off in Smiths Falls. Organization representatives who attended the event were given an opportunity to learn more about the organization assists about 16 Lanark County organizations provide services to one in nine county residents.

“Your hard earned dollars are staying here and helping your neighbours and friends,” confirmed Sarah Bridson, United Way of La-

nark County executive director.

Cate Galazzo, a Smiths Falls youth and budding poet, spoke to the gathering about the Smiths Falls and District Centre for Youth (a member agency) and its impact on her life.

“It’s like another home to me,” she added. “It’s the best place to be.”

The young girl read a poem about the centre to the crowd detailing how centre staff has serve as mother, father and siblings through their support.

On Oct. 3 Galazzo was one of 24 Smiths Falls youth to try out for the My Town’s Got Talent event hosted by the United Way. The 15 youth finalists representing communities across the county will be on stage Oct. 26 in Perth to show their stuff.

Galazzo has been writing poetry since the beginning of the year.

“It’s always nice to see youth here thriving and enjoying their environment,” Bridson said.

Helping organizations provide the support needed for individuals like Galazzo to grow is all part of the United Way’s mission. Fraser Scantlebury, fund development officer for the United Way said their logo explains everything about the work they do: that of hope, service and help they provide to others. Particularly, the Lanark County United Way looks at work that aids residents in finding a way out of poverty, improving overall health and supports youth. In the last 25 years the organization has funneled over $4 million to various organiza-

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 8, 1912 At the meeting of the teachers’ Association here last week a resolution was unanimously passed that Friday afternoon that Oct. 11th be observed in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the death of General Brock at Queenston Heights.

Last Sunday was Temperance and Moral Reform Sunday in the Methodist church and Rev. Mr. Cummings exchanged pulpits with Rev. Mr. Stillwell of Merrickville. The latter had large congregations, and met many old friends who were glad to see him but he didn’t have anything to say about the temperance question at the morning service.

The Ontario Department of Agriculture is sending out another car to demonstrate the agriculture position of northern Ontario. The car will be at Smiths Falls on Nov. 7.

50 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 11, 1962 Smiths Falls shoppers will be able to visit and shop at the new million-dollar shopping centre for the first time next week. Although all stores will not be completely ready to greet patrons for another week or two, at least one major outlet will be completed.

Another graduate of Smiths Falls Collegiate has distinguished himself in later life. Donald M. Cornett, who graduated in 1937, has been appointed Canadian High Commissioner to Ghana.

Opposition to the teaching of Oral French in the Smiths Falls public school system has come from one of the School Board’s trustees – George A. Phillips.

Mr. Phillips issued a prepared statement during Tuesday night’s regular Board meeting which outlined his assessment of the proposal, after having given it considerable study following a recent convention of the Ontario Public School Trustee’s Association at Sarnia.

25 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 14, 1987 Four Smiths Falls persons are among 51 charged Thursday with assorted drugs and weapons offence culminating a nine-month undercover investigation in Lanark, Renfrew, Leeds and Grenville.

Just six games after the Central Junior Hockey League season began for Smiths Falls Bears coach and general manager, Ron Martelle, it ended last week with his resignation.

If there is one word common to the vocabulary of the people of Forfar it’s cheese. From the days in 1863 when milk was delivered to the factory by horse and wagon and the cheese was sold to area residents, to today, as the dairy wholesales to about 200 customers province-wide, the Forfar story has been one of continuity and growth.

10 YEARS AGO –OCTOBER 9, 2002 To the west is Percy Street and the County Fair Mall. Van Horne Manor is tucked away slightly to the south. North is Pearl Street, bisected by the currently unopened McCallum Crescents north and south.

And right smack in the middle is the just announced 22.8-hectare (57-acre) site for a new Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute.

Smiths Falls council members were quick to react at their meeting on Monday, upon hearing of the Upper Canada District School Board’s decision to build the new $13 million high school in the south end of town.

Mayor Dennis Staples read a press release to councillors, some of whom had not heard the announcement earlier in the day. It noted the UCDSB had finalized an agreement that morning to purchase 57 acres (22.8 hectares) of vacant land “near the corner of Percy and Pearl streets.” Gerry Huddleston, a former trustee with the former Lanark County Board of Education, was particularly critical of the UCDSB’s handling of the announcement.

“They didn’t have the common courtesy to let the town know this is happening,” he said.

Dive in readers, the water is fine EMC Editorials - What I love most about the Smiths Falls community is its willingness to jump in and be part of the solution, and there’s no finer example of that than the ongoing efforts to receive funding to reopen of the pool inside the Gallipeau Centre.

Voting on the Aviva Community Fund website (www. avivacommunityfund.org) began Oct. 1. The first round runs until Oct. 15 so there’s still time for residents to register online and cast their vote in support of this great

For the Record STACEY ROY community initiative. Don’t forget the second and third round of voting that begins later this year as well! Votes can be cast until Nov. 26!

Thirty ideas will move forward from each of the three voting rounds into the semifinals.

The Hub is applying for

$99,000 to do necessary repairs to the pool facilities, including changing the system from chlorine to salt water to help those with allergies or sensitivities. In order to make this happen The Hub needs as many votes as they can get (the more the better).

The project fell out of the top 10 last week and needs to get back there to be competitive!

When I first logged on I had trouble finding the Smiths Falls link and found using the geographic map with all the yellow pins really helped me. Just zoom in to

Smiths Falls and there it is!

The pool has been very much missed in the area since it closed with the Rideau Regional Centre a number of years ago. Not only was it a source of recreational fun for people, but it provided a service in keeping our kids safe around the many lakes and rivers that make this area so beautiful. There are just so many reasons to bring this pool back to Smiths Falls, so let’s all be part of the effort and drop your votes into the pool in hopes of filling it up to the top!

Letters to the Editor

Bridge supporters given thanks DEAR EDITOR: We ‘Thank You’ for having the lawn signs, coming out to the meetings, sending letters and emails of support to your local municipalities and for signing our petition, which by the way is still growing.

Although you may have read some media items in the EMC/ Advance and Recorder & Times, a few have been rather negative, I must say and not very helpful in that it leaves the reader to think it may well be over and done with. And that is not the case. Democracy will reign.

We want a bridge so we can drive over it. We do not want a ‘pretty’ pedestrian and cycling bridge. We believe very passionately in what we are trying to do and that is to re-open the Andrewsville Bridge - with some alterations to it and proper signage so that illegal trucks cannot cross it again. That said,

it gives everyone collectively, at the municipal level and the ‘FAB’ Friends of the Andrewsville Bridge level, the time it needs to seek the additional funding needed to rehabilitate the bridge so we are not faced with this again for at least another 10 to 15 years.

The snow will be coming soon, so within the next week or so, we will be collecting your lawn sign and storing them for the future, because. It’s not over yet!

Stay tuned.

Again, many thanks for your continued support.

Byron and Val Morris On behalf of “Friends of Andrewsville Bridge”

EMC News - While Halloween has long been marketed as a holiday for children, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still plenty of adults who like to get together, dress up, and explore the world of the spooky come the end of October. With that in mind, the Classic Theatre Festival is hosting a Witches and Warlocks Halloween Ball on Friday, Oct. 26, beginning at 8 p.m. at the Civitan Club in Perth (6787 County Road 43).

Whether folks are in costume or not, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be welcome to attend and enjoy the music, dancing, complimentary food, and special decorations.

Organized by Festival Board President Marie Shaw, the evening, for those aged 19 and older, will feature dancing tunes by well-known area DJ Kevin Carnrite as well as costume contests. There will also be some particularly intriguing visuals, from meticulously decorated witches hats and a giant spider that will perform some amazing tricks come the witching hour to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toonie Terrors,â&#x20AC;? an opportunity to be photographed in (and receive a copy of) a particularly ghoulish scenario.

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorable. A chance to come out with your friends, try and guess who might be underneath a mask or layers of makeup, and maybe just revel that this is the last time you can go out to a party without wearing the big boots and a parka until the spring.â&#x20AC;?

Costumes are not required to take part in the ball - there will be plenty of space on the dance floor for those who simply want to boogie - and there will be a good supply of Halloween-themed food and treats as well.

Merrickville Jazz Fest returning for second year Oct. 11 to 14

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – Several heritage venues, restaurants and the community centre will transform Merrickville into a hot spot for music Oct. 11 to 14 as the annual Merrickville Jazz Fest gets set to take over the village.

This is the second year for the event, which has grown considerably over last year’s inaugural festival. Nine venues were featured in 2011 and that has doubled to 19.

“Last year, we weren’t thinking that it would be a tradition, we just wanted to have a music festival in Merrickville and it was quite successful,” noted one of the Merrickville Jazz Fest organizers, Peggy Holloway. “We did have people asking throughout the year if we were going to do it again, so we are.”

“We were really pleased last year. There was some really great local support as well and people bought weekend passes and came to every event last year. We hope to see that happen again,” she added.

“It was really that amazing local support that made us want to have it again.”

The concept for Merrickville Jazz Fest came out of the fact that the village didn’t have a music festival. “It’s a good time of the year to have it as well since all other things in town are over until Christmas in Merrickville and very often we still have nice weather. We wanted to bring people into town and it worked,” Holloway remarked.

The festival truly involves the entire community and offers visitors an opportunity to experience good jazz music in a variety of different settings;

Local singer Mary Moore, right, joined jazz trio Take Trois for a rousing performance at the Merrickville United Church as part of last year’s inaugural Merrickville Jazz Fest. The second event takes place Oct. 11 to 14 and features jazz music at 19 different venues throughout the village.

whether it’s taking in a smoky trio while having an intimate dinner at a local restaurant or enjoying the acoustics in one of the village’s churches.

“The neat thing for me about the festival, is that it supports merchants, brings music to people and opens up the churches to the community,” Holloway said, noting that all the restaurants in the village are participating this year and the Village of Merrickville-Wolford has donated the use of the Merrickville Community Centre.

Select restaurants may also be offering specials to visitors throughout the weekend.

Organizers added an extra day to the festival this year and it gets underway Thursday evening with two special performances: the Swing Bridge Combo at 7 p.m., followed by Mary Moore and Take Trois at 8:30 p.m. Both acts will perform at the Merrickville Community Centre

and to celebrate the opening of the festival, visitors can enjoy two performances for the price of one that night.

Holloway said the lineup is solid with many acts performing having appeared at the Ottawa Jazz Festival, but there a few about which she is particularly excited. Standing Room Only will take over the Baldachin Inn ballroom Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. The popular jazz dance band often hosts tea dances in Almonte.

Local jazz pianist Brian Browne will fill Merrickville United Church with sweet sounds Oct. 14 at 3:30 p.m.; and the Miguel de Armas Trio will also play the church Oct. 13 at 3:30 p.m. de Armas is a Cuban pianist who immigrated to Canada last year and regularly plays the Mercury Lounge in Ottawa.

“They are hot. They will put on a good show,” Holloway commented.

Also on Oct. 14, the well-

known Neil Sealy Quartet performs at Holy Trinity Anglican Church at 1 p.m. The evening before, on Oct. 12, Sealy will also join the New Orleans Days Jazz Band at the Goose & Gridiron.

“We also have two fabulous female singers from Ottawa coming to the festival. Both are playing with top notch accompanists,” Holloway remarked. “Karen Oxorn will play Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Dominique Forest will play Elements Bistro on Friday evening.”

Ottawa-area guitarist Steve Bilodeau and his jazz trio are also on the schedule to play the Baldachin Inn’s dining room on Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. “He’s a lovely guitar player. He called us last year but we were full,

In addition to taking in a weekend full of music, visitors can feel good knowing that proceeds from Merrickville Jazz Fest will benefit Fun With Books, a local nonprofit organization.

“Fun With Books has been providing books written by local authors and illustrators and it seemed like something that would support children,” she continued. “It’s heavily supported by local people such as Bernie Boesveld from Burritts Rapids and so do teachers in the area.”

Irish immigration focus of presentation EMC Events - We have all heard about Irish workers dying during the building of the Rideau Canal from explosions and malaria. We have also heard many stories about the Irish potato famine and the great number of Irish immigrants that came to Canada to start a new life.

The Rideau Canal was built between 1826 and 1832 and the potato famine started in 1845. On Wednesday Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Portland Community Hall, wellknown local historian, Mr. Neil Patterson will be giving a presentation on how these events have impacted our community.

Patterson contacted the Portland–On-The-Rideau Historical Society looking for help with the “Scovil” cemetery and related a story of how a boatload of dead Irish immigrants had arrived in Portland and the Captain asked the Scovil family permission to bury the dead at the family cemetery. Permission was granted.

The Scovil cemetery is now one of the 30 abandoned or discontinued cemeteries in the Rideau Lakes municipality requiring support. The state of the cemetery is such that it is not

EMC Events - The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital recognized their donors last week at an appreciation gathering at the Smiths Falls site. Above Mayor Dennis Staples chats with a few guests before the event. Below, are hospital board members Shawn Pankow, Ian Ross and Lise Smith.

Pankow, who is the vice president of the board, says it’s about recognizing those in the community for the fundraising efforts over the past year. Many of those present helped to support the redevelopment of the hospital, and as Pankow said, would not have been possible without the support of the community. “This is just to say thanks and to let them know we appreciate the great community support,” he said.

readily known how many Irish immigrants from the boat that brought them to Portland are buried there, but it is believed that there were at least eight.

One of the surprising parts of the story about the Irish immigration to Upper Canada was that many of the immigrants came through the Rideau Canal system, by boat or barge as they went to Kingston and beyond.

Patterson’s story on the Irish is an interesting history of not only the impact they had in building the canal and developing communities along the canal, but in the building of Canada. Just the other morning on TV the Minister of Tourism for Ireland was inviting Canadians of Irish descent to come home next year; he was estimating that there are between four and five million Canadians with ties to Ireland. Everyone is welcome to the presentation. There is no admission charge, but donations would be welcome, and you are certain to learn a little more about the history of this wonderful area we call home.

Lanark County Support Services prepares clients for upcoming trip of a lifetime sroy@perfprint.ca

A group of Lanark County Support Services clients from Smiths Falls are eagerly awaiting a November departure to Walt Disney World in Florida. The trip is three years in the making.

Neighbours follow in town’s footsteps, look for splash pad funding

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

tap would keep the water running for only 30 seconds at a time, “so that the water is not running constantly…(and) to make sure that it is fully interactive for kids.”

The drain-to-storm system was chosen because it uses less chemicals and has the lowest maintenance costs.

Waterplay Solutions Corporation has put forward a proposed splash pad costing about $135,000, not including excavation of the property and moving the playground to accommodate the new structure. It will also use about 90 gallons per minute, and will be free and fully accessible.

Evans also pointed out that the City of Ottawa has 85 splash pads, which cost about $5,000 a month to run, each.

Smiths Falls’ splash pad cost

about $150,000, while Owen Sound’s pad was $200,000.

Already, Perth has learned a lesson from Smiths Falls’ pad.

“The concrete (at the Smiths Falls pad) is getting children to get abrasions,” said Evans, which is why she is pushing for a more rubberized surface. The pad will operate from June to September for 90 days.

The pad will also help alleviate another problem, that of sand wasps. The Conlon Farm play area had to be shut down temporarily this past summer to deal with the wasp problem, to allow the sand to be dredged and watered down.

“There really isn’t a way to get rid of them,” admitted Evans, but now the pad will be built over top of it.

“I just love it,” Smith added. “It gives me such a great warm feeling inside to give somebody a dream.”

EMC News – With the click of a mouse, you could help take the dream of a splash pad at Conlon Farm one step closer to reality.

Finnegan Insurance has teamed up with the Town of Perth and entered the Perth and district splash pad into the Aviva Community Fund.

The funds are distributed not through the traditional methods of grant applications but rather through gauging community support for an idea, like the annual Kraft Hockeyville project.

While the town will be footing half of the funding costs to get the pool built, the dream is also contingent on $150,000 in donations, fundraising and outside grants to get it off of the ground – or, on the ground, rather.

Every vote counts, which is why, if you support the splash pad, you can register online to vote daily in order to increase Perth’s chances of success at: http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf14158 Already, there is local competition just down the road.

Smiths Falls is also in the running for the Aviva funding to help “fill the pool” to give the town its own pool, by bringing back to life the now empty pool at the old Rideau Regional Centre.

You have until the end of the day on Monday, Oct. 15 to participate in the first round of voting. As of the morning of Sunday, Oct. 7, the Conlon Farm campaign has collected 399 votes, while the Smiths Falls pool idea had 2,713

votes at that time.

Mayor John Fenik continued his own campaign last week to stomp around neighbouring communities to seek funding for the splash pad.

“We had a groundswell of interest in having a splash pad at Conlon Farm,” said Fenik, in addressing the Tay Valley Township committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2. “Splash pads are a regional draw. We’re here to ask for consideration of a capital contribution for the splash pad.”

Shellee Evans, Perth’s director of community services, backed up the mayor with a presentation on how town staff arrived at their conclusions about a splash pad.

Evans pointed out that a control button that kids would

EMC Lifestyles - It’s been billed as the place where dreams come true and this is certainly the case for 38 Lanark County Support Services (LCSS) clients who will shortly be traveling with staff for an unforgettable trip to Walt Disney World in Florida.

Donna Smith, supervisor of the Smiths Falls activity centre is so excited to be taking their largest trip group ever to Florida Nov. 29 to Dec. 6. The group will be staying at the theme park with a day trip to the beach planned before they leave, but Smith said the clients themselves choose much of what they will see.

The goal of these away trips is to open a new world to clients they may not have seen otherwise, while encouraging each client to make the decision to travel without their family.

“It gives them a sense of pride and independence,” Smith said.

The exposure trips also offer clients a much-needed break from the difficulty of day-to-day life. Diana Minnie

has some mobility issues and lives with chronic pain, but is looking forward to the Walt Disney trip.

“I need this trip to enjoy time away from all the hard things in my life. It’s a dream come true,” Minnie said.

LCSS hosts a trip every three years. In 2009 they traveled to Calgary and voted on the 2012 trip to Disney World.

“It’s been well over two years in the making,” Smith said.

Once the venue is selected LCSS staff begin researching accessibility and special needs requirements for their clients. In November the group will have a variety of needs represented including six individuals in wheelchairs.

Over the last few weeks staff has also held field trips to the parliament buildings to show trip participants what it’s like to go through security. Visits to the airport to watch planes have also been undertaken to ensure participants are as comfortable as possible before departure.

“I’m scared to go on the air plane but I really want to meet

Bears pull off miracle win over 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thanks to Manicciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magic

By STAFF

The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears entertained the Kemptville 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Friday night in a stellar come-from-behind win to remain in first place in the CCHL standings.

Above, Quinn Carroll of the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tries to stick handle past the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Karson McCartney in the first period. Top right, local musician, Bryan Briggs was thrilled to play the national anthem before the game. Bottom right, some young Smiths Falls Minor Hockey players were flag bearers for the Jr. A team, who circled the arena prior to faceoff to help wind up the crowd.

Fullum of the Stallions managed to score, allowing the home side to skate away with the bonus point.

Connor McLaren opened the scoring for the Bears in the first period and Buonincontri had the team up 2-0 by the midway mark of the second period. But three straight goals by the Stallions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one by Derian Plouffe and two from Brandon Petrie.

OVERTIME: â&#x20AC;˘ Bears figured prominently in the CCHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly awards. Defenceman Tyler Akeson was named Player of

the Month, edging teammate Michael Buonincontri for the honour. And goalie Patrick Martin got the nod as top netminder for September. â&#x20AC;˘ Bears hosted the Hawkesbury Hawks on Tuesday of this week, doubling the Hawks 4-2 to extend their lead in the division to three points over the Carleton Place Canadians.

They welcome the Pembroke Lumber Kings to the Memorial Community Centre this Friday, Oct. 12 at 7:30 p.m.

The Bears will then be at the Navan Arena in Cumberland Sunday, Oct. 14. Game time is 3 p.m.

The victory completed a three-point week for the Bears who took the Kanata Stallions to a shootout last Tuesday at the Kanata Recreation Complex.

Again the Bears needed a late third period goal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this time from Buonincontri â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to tie the score and send the game to overtime. While both teams had chances, the extra five minutes expired with no victor.

EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fans who may have missed the closing moments of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jr. A Bears hockey gameâ&#x20AC;Śmissed a lot!

Trailing 3-2 with less than 60 seconds left in regulation, the Bears tied things up on the power play with goalie Jimmy Howe on the bench for an extra attacker. Chris Maniccia connected for his second goal of the period, assisted by Jeff Carroll and Connor McLaren, to knot the score at threes.

Far from done there, the red-hot Bears (8-3-0-1), who continue to sit atop the Central Canada Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robinson Division standings a month into the season, closed things out 11 seconds later. Maniccia completed the natural hat trick, scoring his 12th goal at the 19:23 mark and giving the Bears a most improbable 4-3 victory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in regulation!

For almost two full periods, it appeared this was just not going to be the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; night.

Despite outshooting their opponents by a wide margin, Smiths Falls found itself down 2-0 after 20 minutes. First period goals by 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stephen Cooney and Blaine Byron brought an early end to goalie Patrick Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night.

But even with Howe between the pipes to start the second, Kemptville extended its lead to 3-0 on a goal by Lucas Gonu.

A hallmark of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club is a never-say-die attitude and this night was no different. The Bears finally managed to break through with the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scorer, Michael Buonincontri, recording his 12th goal of the year at 16:48.

Through two periods, the Bears had outshot the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30-14 but trailed 3-1.

The Bears carried the momentum into the third with Maniccia closing the deficit to a single goal at 7:52 before adding his last-minute heroics.

Until those final 60 seconds, it appeared 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie Dylan Brindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amour might steal one for the visitors. As it turned out, he made 41 saves in the regulation loss. Howe got credit for the win for his two strong periods, surrendering just a single goal off 16 shots.

Cancer Society encourages area residents to think pink during October EMC Events - In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, volunteers of the Canadian Cancer Society will be stationed at Metro, Giant Tiger, LCBO, and the Red Apple on Saturday, Oct. 20 to distribute pink ribbons to the public for a donation. Show your support by wearing a pink ribbon this October.

Volunteers will also promote breast cancer awareness by providing information about early detection and prevention.

“Through the Pink Ribbon campaign, we are working together to outsmart breast cancer by raising money to support leading edge research

and provide local services for women living with breast cancer and their families,” said Amanda Gifford, fundraising coordinator of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office of the Canadian Cancer Society.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Ontario women, yet only 66 per cent of women 50 to 69 are getting life-saving mammograms.

To increase breast screening rates the Canadian Cancer Society is asking women who are 50 to 69 to fight back against breast cancer and join the Thingamaboob ‘Pass it on’

movement by committing to get a mammogram every two years and to pass on this lifesaving message to the women in their life.

Breast cancer statistics for 2012: • An estimated 23,700 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,300 will die of it in Canada.

• A woman has a one in nine chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.

• The breast cancer death rate has declined almost 40 per cent since 1986.

For more information about Pink Ribbon Weekend or how you can support Breast Cancer Awareness Month contact

your local Canadian Cancer Society community office at (613) 267-1058.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a national communitybased organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Films for the Heart and Soul continues with ‘Minka’ and ‘Dinner With Fred’ EMC Events - The Sedona feature was well received. Some folks met me afterwards and commented on what a deep and moving experience the film provided. The remarkable beauty of that part of Arizona contributed greatly to this uplifting movie.

It was also noted how the first short, speechless event showed the problems that the new social technologies are causing in face-to-face communication between people, but was virtually contradicted by the feature, Sedona, which showed how important it is to have these technologies available in many circumstances.

Now to the October films.

In keeping with rotating Features with Shorts, we have four excellent selections for your enjoyment and enlightenment.

The line up looks like this with two new ones to lead off.

Minka. A documentary about place and memory, a farmhouse in Japan, and the lives of the people who called it home. Selected at Aspen Shortsfest and Palm Springs ShortFest, it is 15 minutes in English Dinner with Fred: An 86-year-old poultry pioneer tells his grandson the story of how chickens saved his life in 1940s Canada. Inspired by a true story and is 24 minutes in English There will be a brief Intermission at 3 p.m.

The remaining two short films come at the request of some folks for a replaying of films shown many years ago.

If you haven’t seen them, you will find them quite special.

If you have seen them, you will discover new aspects by seeing them again.

Out of Proportion: This very funny short was a real audience favourite at our recent Spiritual Cinema Festival-at-Sea. It reminds us that if we don’t face the emotions we’re going through, we can really get out of balance and behave in a way that’s truly Out of Proportion is 12 minutes in English. Warning – some adult language.

American Made: An East Indian family during a road trip has a car breakdown.

Who will help them? This is a beautiful story of familial love and loyalty that demonstrates the flexibility needed during this time in history of our religion, faith and beliefs.

It’s 30 minutes in English.

The shows are playing at

McMartin House, 125 Gore St. E., Perth, with an ccessible ramp and comfortable seating. There is no charge to see the films, but a small donation to pay for the rental of the room is welcome, but not necessary.

We are an informal group sharing the experience of films which explore what it means to be a caring, questioning human.

Bring your friends. Bring your enemies. Bring your insights. Bring your own refreshments. Avoid beverages such as cranberry or grape because they can stain the carpet.

Writers festival returns this week

By DOREEN BARNES

EMC News - The fourth annual Thousand Islands Writers Festival takes place from Wednesday Oct. 10 to Saturday, Oct. 13 in downtown Brockville. This year’s Festival features a Giller winner, four 2012 top 10 bestselling novelists, a CBC Canada Reads runnerup, a CBC Bookie winner for best Canadian mystery of 2012, the 2012 People’s Choice Giller winner, and two British Crime Writer Silver Dagger nominees.

The Festival kicks off Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. with Brian Francis reading at Wall St. United Church. Brian’s first novel, Fruit, was the CBC Canada Reads runner-up to The Book of Negroes in 2009.

His latest novel, The Natural Order, about a mother dealing with the death of her adult son and reflecting on her life and decisions she has made, has received good reviews with one reviewer comparing it favourably to the Canadian classic, The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence. Cost is $10.

On Thursday, Oct. 11, the festival shifts to The Carriage Hall at The Brockville Museum.

The program begins at 7 p.m. and includes Giller Award winner, Elizabeth Hay and Lilian Nattel. Both authors have seen their latest works enjoy extended

stays in the top ten bestseller lists in 2012. Nattel’s latest, Web of Angels, explores the reality of people living with DID, Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly called multiple personality disorder) through the story of Sharon Lewis and her fictional Toronto neighbourhood.

Alone in the Classroom, Elizabeth Hay’s runaway bestseller novel crosses generations and cuts to the bone of universal truth about love and our relationship with the past. Cost for the evening is $15.

Friday Oct. 12 is the Festival’s “1812 Evening” held at Brockville Collegiate Institute’s auditorium beginning at 7 p.m.

The two authors scheduled to appear approach the history of the war from two vastly different perspectives. James Laxer’s Tecumseh and Brock is a study of the unlikely friendship between the charismatic Shawnee war chief and leader of the native confederacy and the aristocratic defender of Canada and protector of the British Crown.

Tickets are available at Leeds County Books, Brockville and Pages in Prescott.

For more information please go to the Festival website, www.tiwfestival. org.

Calvary Christian Academy students pack shoeboxes for OCC

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

Calvary Christian Academy Grade 2 student Anderson Wong packs a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child.

R0011666896_1011

EMC News – Not even a handful of technical glitches could destroy the enthusiastic, loving spirit of Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) students at a packing party for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) last Wednesday afternoon.

OCC, a division of Samaritan’s Purse, distributes gift filled shoe boxes at Christmas to children who have been ravaged by war, famine, extreme poverty, disease or natural disaster. Since 1993, more than 94 million shoe boxes have been distributed to boys and girls (ages 2-14) in more than 130 countries.

While speaking to students on Oct. 3, Glenda DunnO’Brien, Samaritan’s Purse’s local community relations coordinator, said the goal of OCC this year is to deliver its millionth shoe box – bringing the news of God’s love to hurting children.

Located in Franktown, CAA participates in OCC every year. Dunn-O’Brien’s children attend the private school.

In 2011 students packed 991 shoe boxes, but this year the target is 1,000, and to achieve 100 per cent participation, students are being offered some special incentives – still to be determined.

“Maybe a pizza party and bowling for the class that packs the most shoe boxes,” said the community relations coordinator.

Last year the student who collected the most shoe boxes got to throw a pie in the face of principal Tom Bourne.

Christmas miracle Pastor Ivan Davis of Calvary Pentecostal Church in Carleton Place recounted a powerful story from last year.

Just over 50 years ago on Christmas Eve a six-year-old boy from Canada listened as his parents explained that there would be no gifts to unwrap in the morning on Christmas Day. “His family was very poor,” said Davis. “Can you imagine what he was thinking?”

After the boy and his two siblings had gone to bed an unknown person came to the family’s front door. He or she knocked and left a box behind. Inside was a present for each child. The little boy received a tiny toy car that he played with for days.

“I know that this is a true story because I was that little boy,” said Davis, “and I remember that this was the best Christmas I ever had.”

Once again, he told CCA

students that they could do the same thing for someone in another part of the world.

Students heard about nineyear-old Ralph from Imus, Cavite in the Philippines. He attends Pasong Buaya Elementary School and likes to play soccer. One day he hopes to be a civil engineer. In spite of this, Ralph spends most days picking through garbage with his parents.

A video of an emotional Ralph receiving his shoe box was played.

“They understand somebody cares and loves them,” said Dunn-O’Brien.

“Delivering the good news of God’s love – that’s what Operation Christmas Child is all about,” stated Franklin Graham, international president of Samaritan’s purse, in a media release. “When you pack shoe box gifts, you not only delight poor and hurting children, but also show them how precious they are to Jesus, God’s greatest gift.”

What to pack Fill shoe boxes with a number of desired items such as school supplies (pens, pencils, pencil crayons, note pads and picture books), toys (stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy jewelry, socks, t-shirts and loose, individually wrapped candy in a sealed bag), hygiene items (brush, toothbrush and soap that is placed is a sealed bag) and a personal note (include a personal note and/or picture in your shoe box).

“Most children in these areas can not go to school with the necessary supplies,” said Dunn-O’Brien.

Do not put the following items in your shoe box: toothpaste, food, used items, liquids or items that could leak, decks of standard playing cards and items that can scare or harm a child (war-related toys or knives).

Area residents wishing to participate in OCC can pick up and drop off a shoe box at the following locations: • CCA, located at 9749 Highway 15, during school hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (drop off

by Nov. 23) • Calvary Pentecostal Church, located at 7196 County Road 29 North, Sundays 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (drop off by Nov. 25) Shoe boxes can also be packed online at www.samaritanspurse.ca/shoebox.

HANSON - In Loving Memory of our Mother, Grandmother, Carolynne, October 10, 2002 A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would of never died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill.

A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled.

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

Your precious memories are for keepsakes, with which we never part, God has you safely in His keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts.

Miss you, Love you each and everyday, Jim, Donna and Lindsay

“WE REMEMBER” Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way

WATTS, Linda Jeanne 1946-2012 On October 3rd, 2012, Norma and Jack Watts lost their daughter. Linda’s life reflected her insatiable curiosity for everything around her. As head nurse at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and then at the Royal Victoria Hospital, she discovered the hard realities that life brings.

Her sensitivity led her to explore how to capture beauty in everything she saw and, very generously, shared her photographs and her carefully written descriptions in LIFE and Maclean’s. She loved nature: raising dairy goats, rabbits and other animals with Francine at Peerage Farm in Oxford Mills, Ontario, and then, raising Boxers and lovingly managing a dog kennel. Her passion for literature led her to the world of writing.

Many computer hours were spent on unique translations and editorials. Her relentless search for choosing the right term to express a feeling, an idea, a concept, revealed Linda as a person with deep respect for words and for the messages they convey. She loved travelling the world and was always inspired by its musics.

The coastlines and the sea fascinated her. Her passion for Greece made her choose that country as her final resting place, where Peter, her brother, and Lois, her sister, will take her ashes to the seas she cherished so deeply. She lived her dreams to the fullest and until the very end.

She left this poem to inspire us to embrace every minute of our lives.

ELLIOTT – In loving memory of our beloved son and brother, Tyler, who left us on October 13, 2005.

God called your name so gently that only you could hear, No one heard the footsteps of the Angel drawing near.

Softly from the shadows there came a gentle call, You closed your eyes and went to sleep and quietly left us all.

Forever loved and missed, Dad, Mom, Ryan and Courtney

HUBERT - In memory of a dear mother and wife; Linda Hubert, October 12, 2007 Every day in some small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent you are always near, Still missed, loved and always dear.

We miss you so much, Dan, Melanie (Chelsie) and Lisa (Dylan) FRASER, Taylor James July 3, 1990 -Oct 14, 2006 Cool Sensations again, November sets in, Time gone, now spent.

Forever, amongst vent.

Wondering why December flies by.

Sparkling gifts under the tree Set aside magically, for you and for me January visits, passes on through.

Reminise the Millennium Cherishing it with you.

February’s chills, against heated veins Scrap paper as knives Delivers no pain Indents scars on our lives Breaths of March Slithers on through.

Gifting me only More time with you April slides in Sending delight Soon we will win Less flesh of night May’s shine Shows me the way Forever, yours and mine Promises of May. Lavish of June Disappearing too soon Engaging the sun Capturing memories of fun July, oh what a time to cherish Monuments to stay After all now, July 3rd, was your day August last warmth Delivers last Promise Everything pure Obviously honest Breezes of September Swept us away Right into school That you loved, by the way October vanished too soon Like the sun in the fall Dismissing you home With no say at all.

Love You, Miss You Amanda Fraser and Family HUBERT, Linda In loving memory of a Great Friend who passed away October 12, 2007.

I thought of you today, But that is nothing new.

I thought of you yesterday And will tomorrow too.

I think of you in silence and make no outward show.

For what it meant to lose you, Only those who love you know.

Forever Friends Miss ya... Cornelia

Today Clutches of cattails in seas of reeds, sun-corona’d Susans, black eyed and swaying amongst tardy daffodil stars and moons of Queen Anne’s lace, wait deep within a blood-red poppy carpet, already leaking life yet vibrant.

Tomorrow’s seed sucks life from today and riots in beauty as if there will never be another.

At her request, there will be no ceremony of any kind to honour Linda’s life. Donations to cancer charities and/or palliative care units would continue to honour her life and choices, and help others.

ANDREWS, Ken – October 9, 2011.

Self-mutilation trend on the rise; Self-injury as a form of appeasement knife, scissors or other sharp tool. Less frequently, teenagers also pinch, burn, hit, prick and bite themselves. Typical targets are the arms, legs and abdomen and they often hide their scars behind clothing.

Gauthier also points out that self-mutilation is rarely a symptom of severe mental illness or a method used to commit suicide. It typically stems from inner turmoil caused by painful or unresolved issues such as intense adolescent angst and the emotional aftershocks of bullying or sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.

“Most teenagers harm themselves because they are trying to feel better and cannot access other ways to deal with how terrible they feel. Self-mutilation helps to get rid of the tension and to resume normal activities.

When repeated, it appears to become more mechanical and quasi addictive,” he says.

An increasing number of teenagers are experimenting with self-mutilation to mimic celebrities and their peers.

“Self-mutilation is very contagious. It is obvious on a psychiatric ward as it spreads from one patient to others.

The same phenomenon exists obviously in schools and

in our society through the examples given by stars, actors, musicians, and other teens.

It has also been observed in jails and reception centers.”

Some specialists hypothesize the compulsive urge to self-mutilate may be reinforced by the release of opioid-like endorphins, which results in a natural high. Gauthier also questions the connection between selfmutilation, and adolescent emotional and sexual development.

Teenagers rarely seek help for self-mutilation and it can be a difficult pattern to break.

Gauthier says a comprehensive assessment is crucial, not necessarily by a child psychiatrist but by a competent mental health professional.

That professional will be able to assess when a psychiatrist is needed.

“We rarely address the self-mutilation alone. It is one aspect of the adolescent’s difficulties and the treatment will want to keep a global view. Specific suggestions to replace self-mutilation by more integrative solutions are more possible once a therapeutic alliance is established and the adolescent wants to stop cutting.”

EMC News - More and more teenagers are turning to self-mutilation to cope with their inner turmoil.

Dr. Martin Gauthier, psychiatrist-in-chief at the Montreal Children’s Hospital says the number of teenagers deliberately and repeatedly injuring their bodies by cutting, piercing or biting their flesh is growing at an alarming rate.

When the psychiatrist started his practice 25 years ago, he seldom encountered adolescents who purposely mutilated themselves. When he did, they were often psychotic, intellectually challenged or autistic. About half the teenage patients he treats today are self-injurers.

“In the adolescent clinical population, it is about one in two,” Gauthier said. “In the general population, one in six is a conservative figure.

It goes up to one in three in some surveys.”

Female self-injurers are more likely to seek professional help but studies indicate self-mutilation is practised equally by adolescent boys and girls across all racial and socioeconomic groups. The most common form of self-injury is cutting the skin with a razor blade,

Centre for Sustainable Development welcomes new staff EMC News - The Centre for Sustainable Development (CSW) welcomes new staff to their team. Lynn Preston has been hired to be the Coordinator for the Provincial Shoreline Stewardship Program.

Lynn brings to CSW extensive experience in watershed management, having worked for over 25 years in conservation authorities of Eastern Ontario developing watershed and lake management strategic plans designed to improve the health of the local environment.

Working with partners from the Canadian Wildlife Federation, Lakeland Alliance (from the Kawartha area), the Muskoka Watershed Council

and the City of Greater Sudbury, CSW will be engaging shoreline property owners on steps they can take to become better shoreline stewards and improve the health of their lake.

“I’m very excited about working with CSW,” Preston stated. “The shoreline stewardship program works directly with landowners who can influence what happens on their lakes. CSW has a long tradition in this field and I’m glad to bring this shoreline stewardship opportunity to the rest of the province.”

The Centre for Sustainable Watersheds is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2002 to help build water-conscious communities to protect their

lakes and rivers. They offer services in training, evaluation and stewardship in lake environments.

Check out the website at www.watersheds.ca.

If you would like to learn more about the Provincial Shoreline Stewardship Program or would like to include your lake in it, contact Lynn at preston@watersheds.ca or at the CSW office in Portland at 613- 272-5136.

CSW also welcomes Kelsey Jensen, Communications Specialist Jensen@watersheds. ca who will be working part time on updating the website, social media and developing communications products.

THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF BECKWITH NOTICE OF PASSING CONCERNING ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT ACCESSORY USES - BACKYARD HEN COOPS TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Beckwith passed zoning By-law No. 2012-26 on the 2nd day of October, 2012 to amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 91-14 to permit a limited number of egglaying hens to be kept within residential zones for personal egg production.

AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law No. 2012-26 by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Township of Beckwith a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law, the reasons in support of the objection and the prescribed appeal fee of $125.00 not later than the 31st day of October, 2012.

THE PURPOSE of the Zoning By-law amendment passed as By-law No. 201226 is to amend Section 3.1 – “Accessory Uses” of comprehensive Zoning Bylaw No. 91-14 to regulate backyard hen coops.

THE EFFECT of By-Law No. 2012-26 is to permit a limited number of egg-laying hens to be kept for personal egg production within residential zones, subject to the minimum lot size and minimum setback distances for the backyard hen coop.

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a Zoning By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

Donating publicly-traded securities – a giving strategy that can work for you When it comes to charitable giving, Canadians are among the best in the world. According to Statistics Canada, 5.7 million Canadians reported making a charitable donation in 2010 for a total of just under $8.3 billion.1 The simplest giving strategy is a cash donation but that may not be the best strategy for you. One that can not only help the charitable organization, but also help the donor to save on taxes, is the gifting strategy of donating publiclytraded securities.

Donating publicly-traded securities (such as shares or mutual fund units) directly to a charity is more tax-efficient than selling the securities and donating the cash proceeds.

If you sell shares or mutual fund units to make a cash donation you’ll have to include 50% of the realized capital gains as taxable income when you dispose of the shares or units. However, if you donate the shares or units directly to the charity there is no capital gains and accordingly no income tax payable.

Here’s an example: You have $100,000 of securities that originally cost you $30,000 (the “cost base” of that asset).

You sell the securities and

Manage Your Money donate the $100,000 to your charity. If your marginal tax rate is 46%, the sale of securities will create a tax liability of $16,100 (based on the $70,000 increase in the securities’ value times the 50% capital gains inclusion rate times your 46% marginal tax rate).

However, if you make what is known as an ‘in-kind’ gift by donating the securities directly to the charity, your tax liability for the capital gain would be zero. Your charitable donation receipt would be for the fair market value of the securities on the date that the ownership of the securities was transferred to the charity. The special capital gains inclusion rate applies to ‘in-kind’ gifts to registered charitable organizations as well as public and private foundations. The charity/ foundation must have a broker account into which the shares or units can be transferred.

Charities typically have special forms to smooth the transfer process or your advisor may be able to provide the required form. Check out your charity’s website for information about ‘in-kind’ transfers,

or call them directly.

You are required to report all gifts of publicly-traded securities by including CRA form T1170, Capital Gains and Gifts of Certain Property with your tax return.

Your best approach to increasing your lifetime donations and potential tax benefits begins with talking to your professional advisor and developing a plan the fits your overall financial strategy.

Carleton Place connection to baseball’s Triple Crown “Yaz” as he is still known to a legion of Red Sox fans retired at the end of the 1983 season after playing his entire Major League career (23 seasons) for Boston.

Cabrera, 29, was born the year Yastrzemski retired!

A native of Maracay, Venezuela he is the first Latin player to win the Triple Crown.

Cabrera began his career with Florida Marlins in 2003 at age 19, underlining the expectations for the young man. He joined the Tigers in 2008 and this season led them to their first back-to-back division championships since 19341935.

Cabrera now belongs among the greats of the game!

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

There is a Most Valuable Player (MVP) named after every baseball season and barring the totally unexpected he has a virtual lock on that honour for 2012.

But a Triple Crown winner is the MVP of MVPs. Twelve of the 15 men to achieve the feat were later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

There have been two double winners, St. Louis Cardinals’

second baseman Rogers Hornsby in 1922 and 1925 and the late great Red Sox star Ted Williams in 1942 and 1947.

Also on the exclusive list are immortals of the game including another Detroit star Ty Cobb (1909), New York Yankees’ legends Lou Gehrig (1934) and Mickey Mantle (1956) as well as Baltimore Orioles’ superstar Frank Robinson (1966). Robinson later became the first AfricanAmerican manager in MLB history.

To even be mentioned in the same breath as players such as Gehrig, baseball’s original Ironman or Ted Williams, the last player to bat over .400 in a season (.406 in 1941) is a huge accomplishment.

For me personally, Miguel Cabrera’s achievement is significant for two reasons.

First, I am a lifelong Detroit Tigers’ fan. My mother Molly and my wife Kathleen are both natives of Chatham, Ontario which just happens to be the hometown of Canada’s first MLB Hall of Famer, pitcher Ferguson Jenkins. Chatham is just an hour from Detroit by road. We also have family in Detroit and area which solidifies the allegiance.

THE EMC - 56 - Thursday, October 11, 2012

But what makes Cabrera’s ultimately successful bid for the Triple Crown especially interesting for me is the knowledge he was using wood bats manufactured in Carleton Place, our adopted hometown of nearly 40 years.

Sam Bat The Detroit sensation is one of 100 Major Leaguers who use handmade, maple wood bats produced by the Carleton Place firm ‘Sam Bat’. If you look closely at Cabrera’s bat you will see the distinctive bat logo (the flying kind) of the company.

This past spring I was among those who accompanied David Jacobson, the United States Ambassador to Canada, when he was treated to a tour of the Sam Bat plant on Industrial Avenue in Carleton Place. Jacobson, a Chicago native, is a huge Chicago Cubs fan. And one of the players who use Sam bats is Cubs’ power hitter Alfonso Soriano. He belted 32 home runs and drove in 108 for the Cubbies this season.

Jacobson was like a kid in a candy shop during his tour! He was obviously delighted when he was handed one of the models destined for Soriano. Later the ambassador beamed from ear-to-ear when he was presented with his own handmade bat by company president Arlene Anderson, who along with her husband Jim own 50 per cent of the firm. The other co-owners are founder Sam Holman, for whom the firm is

named, and Paul Balharrie.

I told Jacobson that I’m a big Tigers’ fan and that Cabrera too wields Sam bats.

Being a Cubs’ “fan-atic” I don’t think the ambassador was too impressed. I’ll bet he is now!

Two weeks ago I was emcee at a special event in Carleton Place that was also attended by the Andersons. I spoke to them on the way in and mentioned the Cabrera Triple Crown pursuit.

“I can’t even watch (his games),” Arlene laughed. “It is just so exciting.”

Friday I called her and we spoke at length. Naturally she and Jim along with Holman, Balharrie and the company’s 12 employees are on Cloud Nine.

“There is a lot of good Karma in the factory today,” she said enthusiastically.

Naturally having the Triple Crown winner as one of your customers can only be a huge boost for a firm which is among more than 30 baseball bat manufacturers.

Arlene, however, is thrilled for Cabrera!

“He is such a low-key customer.

“It is wonderful that this happened to such a nice fellow. I’m very relieved it (Triple Crown chase) worked out so well.”

EMC Lifestyle - Detroit Tigers’ slugging third baseman Miguel Cabrera accomplished a rare feat last week becoming the first player in 45 years to win Major League Baseball’s coveted Triple Crown.

There have only been 17 Triple Crowns in the long history of baseball. In order to win a player has to combine the best batting average with the most home runs and the most runs batted in during the long and grueling (162 game) Major League Baseball (MLB) campaign.

Underlining how rare this is, the last person to achieve the mark was Boston Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, Canada’s Centennial year.
