Canal season to remain intact in 2013 Shortened hours, increased fees could offset operating costs

By EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com

Catch Us Online

emconline.ca

EMC news – The Rideau Canal will be open for its full season from Victoria Day to Thanksgiving in 2013, according to an announcement from Environment Minister Peter Kent last week.

Shortened hours and increased user fees will likely offset the preserved season, although the full details of those changes have not yet been announced.

In April, a Parks Canada memo outlined the need for drastic changes to the Rideau Canal’s operations, including cuts to season length, operating hours and staffing, to make up for a $29.2 million budget cut. It was unclear at the time when or how those changes would take affect.

A Parks Canada spokesper-

son said at the time that locks services at Parks Canada canals have remained virtually unchanged for the past 25 years, while usage has dropped by about a third.

Local representatives immediately spoke out against the changes, citing loss of tourist dollars in towns like Merrickville, Perth and Smiths Falls.

Merrickville Mayor Doug Struthers said the “message was clear” that cutting the season would damage local, regional and national economies – and the federal government listened.

“In terms of the elect representatives, we saw our opportunity to meet and discuss and influence those who give direction to Parks Canada,” he said. “The powers that be recognized the value of

having a comprehensive assessment, which clearly took place through the consultation process (in the spring and summer).”

Struthers said the shortened hours and potentially higher user fees will not impact businesses nearly as much as a lost or shortened season would have.

“What we’re hearing from users of the system is that it’s not necessary to have 12 hours a day to utilize the system,” he said. “These were opportunities to look at mitigating not just the cost of operations but mitigating a negative impact on the usage of the canal.”

The 2012 season’s hours ranged from six hours per day in off-peak times to 11 hours per day during the busy part of the summer.

In 2013, Parks Canada will

continue providing ‘upon arrival’ services throughout the peak summer period, and offer a modified service seven days a week through scheduled lockages in the spring and fall period. It will also “align its hours of operation and personal service offer to better reflect patterns of use, offering between seven and nine hours of service per day,” according to a statement.

Gord Brown, MP for LeedsGrenville, also applauded Kent’s announcement.

“This is an extremely important announcement for our riding. A shortened season could have been economically devastating for our region,” Brown said in a statement. “I am pleased to note that those consultations bundled in the report that was sent to the minister and discussed with

the Prime Minister, helped maintain the full operating season on the Rideau.”

Kent thanked stakeholders for their feedback while the department considered how to move forward.

“With this decision, the canals and the surrounding communities will continue flourishing as a vibrant centre of our regions,” Kent said following Question Period on Thursday, Oct. 18. “The government appreciated the constructive feedback we received from the public, and was pleased to work with the local members of Parliament, mayors, business leaders and stakeholders to determine a workable schedule going forward that is affordable while minimizing the impact on the local economies and visitors.”

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

EMC Events – Peggy Marcoux can trace her interest in jewelry, back to when she used to watch her grandfather design and create exquisite pieces as a hobby. She also credits her church school.

“We made all sorts of crafts such as candles and jewelry, and my interest just grew. It’s now at this point where by hobby has just about taken over my life,” she laughs.

Peggy’s Passions (her official name for her hobby) is not your ordinary run of the mill operation of the usual hobbyist who makes jewelry as a pastime, buying her pieces from a local wholesaler.

Peggy and her husband Paul go far off for the exquisite stones that end up in everything from beautiful cameos, necklaces, pendants and strings of beading. Each year they head to Arizona, and although it

wouldn’t seem like much fun to most of us, they don heavy boots, protective outerwear and head for the mountains and deserts.

They cover miles upon miles, crawl over rocks, look out for tarantulas, poisonous snakes and flesh eating plants, all waiting to take a bite out of them. But the end result could be the discovery of a rare piece of stone or petrified wood that will eventually become an exquisite piece of fine jewelry. These finds are just a portion of the basis of Peggy’s Passions’ creations.

She also buys precious gem stones and pearls from all over the world, and even though she can come out of the desert with an ample supply, between 70 and 80 per cent is lost in the cutting.

“I really look for the sexy stuff,” she says. “It has to be eye catching, but with a real punch to it. But I make a lot of fun pieces

too. For instance I created the Jelly Bean and Chicklet necklaces that were a very big hit.”

All of her pieces make a statement. And interestingly enough, although she creates hundreds, no two are alike.

No one wants to buy a piece of jewelry and then find it on someone else’s neck at the same dinner party. So each piece has its own identity Peggy Marcoux is a free spirited artist at heart, no doubt some of the trait inherited from her father, a Nobel Prize winner in Environmental Studies. She feels she also owed a lot of credit to former teacher, well known artist Robert Bateman for her creative talents.

“He taught me a lot,” she admits. Although the names of some of the gems she uses to create her jewelry will mean little to most of us, she said those who know about fine gems will

be familiar with names such as tourmaline, chalcedony, citrine, labradorite and cherry jasper from Cherry Valley in Arizona.

It is also important to note that in Peggy’s Passions you will find no nickel or lead. She uses only sterling silver and surgical steel. Both Marcouxs show their jewelry at many Ottawa outlets, including hospitals where they partner for many money making events. And they strive to make their jewelry affordable. You can get a nice piece for as little as $20, or you may opt for something around the $200 mark.

Peggy’s Passions is just one of the many talented craft people who will be showing their wares at the annual IODE craft fair being held this Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Carleton Place Arena, Upper Floor, on Neelin Street. It begins at 10 a.m. and runs to 3 p.m.

Admission is free.

Stay safe this Halloween EMC Lifestyle - As Halloween is just around the corner, Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind residents of some safety tips so that this Halloween will be fun and safe for everyone.

The following are some general safety tips: • Consider a costume that will not restrict the child’s vision so that they can see what is around them such as vehicles.

• Light coloured cos-

tumes are also recommended for visibility. Use reflective tape on the front and back of a costume to increase visibility to motorists.

• Carry a flashlight to use between houses and better visibility.

• Ensure costumes fit properly to prevent trips and falls.

• Young children should be accompanied by an adult.

• Older children should go out in groups of three

or more and stay together.

Consider a cell phone for emergency calls.

• Know the route your child will be going and set a time they are required to return.

• Remind children that no treats should be consumed until they are inspected by an adult.

• Ensure children trick or treat on one side of the street and then cross safely to the other side. Do not criss-cross back and forth.

• Walk on the side walk

when ever possible.

If there are no side walks, then walk on the side of road facing traffic.

• Only approach houses that are lit and never enter a stranger’s house.

• Drivers should drive with caution and be prepared to stop as children will be excited and their actions can be sudden and unpredictable.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!

Hillier launches petition to get Queen’s Park back to work Liberals insist legislature needed a “cooling off” period desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Randy Hillier enough signatures on the petition will “demonstrate public pressure in all elected people… to respect the general will of the people,” and that since “the premier has his authority from the crown, (and) the Lieutenant Governor is the crown (representative),” if Onley were to call McGuinty in to his office, he could use his bully pulpit to convince McGuinty to recall the legislature.

“We have seen in the past, for example, in Canada in 1926, Lord Byng (the Governor General) refused to accept the advice of his first minister,” Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, which prompted the King-Byng affair.

Hillier calls this the “reserve powers of the crown”

which are “never intended to be used,” but are there in case of an emergency.

Any number of what-if scenarios are be contemplated now, including the possibility of the P.C.’s and NDP joining forces to defeat the Liberal government’s throne speech after the Jan. 25 leadership vote. A similar event happened in 1985 when Frank Miller’s P.C. government was defeated on its throne speech. Unable to secure a coalition with either David Peterson’s Liberals or Bob Rae’s NDP, the Lieutenant Governor of the day called on Peterson to hammer out a coalition with Rae, which later became known as the Accord government of 1985-87.

“It’s a possibility,” said Hillier. “I have no idea and I would not even contemplate

to the teachers, but admitted that things could have been handled differently.

“I think we can always look back, hindsight is 20/20,” said MacDonald. “Should it have been communicated better?

We can all look back and say, yes, perhaps.”

He joked that he himself will not be running for McGuinty’s old job, and does not know who will step forward, but added that “I hope we have 10 or 15 candidates.”

the house four times. “It seems to be an action…taken when there is a deadlock in a minority situation. It seems that when the agenda of the ruling party comes to a roadblock, this is an option that is open to them. We’ve got a major issue here in Ontario as a result of the debt, which is because of all of the parties, not just the Liberals. We all have to work together.”

McGuinty stated last week that one of the reasons why he had pulled the plug on the legislature session was to allow the government to hammer things out with the teacher’s unions. MacDonald noted that the Drummond Report had recommended getting rid of 10,000 teachers and 10,000 education assistants.

“That would have been a fairly Draconian action in the teaching field,” said MacDonald. “They (the government) would rather work with teachers.”

However, many teachers are still upset with Bill 115, the “Putting Students First Act,” passed in September. While things would have been worse for teachers with job cuts, as opposed to pay freezes, MacDonald said that he thought that the government’s position was “laid out very well,”

EMC News – Get back to work - that’s the message area Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats, and even non-aligned average citizens, are sending to Premier Dalton McGuinty in Queen’s Park, with the launching of an online, and hard-copy petition that Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier intends to deliver to Lieutenant Governor David Onley later this week.

“On Wednesday (Oct. 17), I put up a website called Get Ontario Back to Work,” said Hillier during a telephone interview from his Perth constituency office. Online and in person, he is asking voters to phone their representatives, and write letters, online or through old school snail mail, and to sign his petition online, through his web site or his Facebook site.

“Let me just hit the refresh button,” said Hillier leaning over to his computer, which then pops up the number that, as of this past Monday afternoon, the petition stands at 1,658 signatures.

Hard copy petitions are available at Hillier’s constituency offices in Perth, Carleton Place and Napanee.

But Hillier admits that while the state of political limbo Ontario finds itself in at the moment is unusual, so too is his petition.

“Petitions are generally put to the government of the day,” said Hillier. “He (Onley) does not have any legal means to recall the legislature.”

But, Hillier hopes that

giving odds of that.”

While any new government would have to have the support of the house, the Lieutenant Governor must also take the longevity of any such government, coalition or not, into account. A government likely to survive less than a year would be of “diminished value” said Hillier, who added that he himself has been getting an earful from constituents who wonder why he isn’t in Toronto.

“There is little else on people’s minds,” he insisted.

“Throw away the objectionableness and crass partisanship. This is about our province. This is about Dalton McGuinty covering his (butt).”

Liberal defence Bill MacDonald, the former Liberal candidate in Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington during the last provincial election on Oct. 6, 2011, however, won’t be signing the petition himself, seeing it as a necessary “cooling off,” valve during a heated session at Queen’s Park.

“I think, through history… former premiers have taken the same action,” as McGuinty did in proroguing the house, said MacDonald, pointing out that Bob Rae, during his 199095 stint at premier, prorogued

Scandals forced McGuinty to resign: opposition MPPs

By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Dalton McGuinty’s revelation that he will step down as premier didn’t come as a surprise to two area opposition MPPs. But it is the prorogation of the legislature that has them most upset.

Both Jack MacLaren and John Yakabuski figured the resignation was coming soon; largely, they say, because scandals such as eHealth, the Ontario Lottery, Presto cards, and Ornge were growing insurmountable. And yet none was made to stick to whom many called The Teflon Premier.

“They’ve never gotten nailed to the cross on these sorts of things,” said MacLaren, MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills.

However, it is the latest controversy, involving the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), which MacLaren and the MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke say led to the prorogation.

“That’s a travesty,” MacLaren said. “I call that a crime.”

The OPA issue saw accusations that the government interfered with contracts related to the creation of gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga. The Progressive Conservatives say it was done to save seats during the last election. Now taxpayers are on the hook to the tune of $650 million to cancel the contracts.

Both opposition parties have tried to find out what role Energy Minister Chris Bentley played in the fiasco. They say by not providing information to the speaker of the house, contempt charges – with a maximum penalty of a criminal conviction – could be levelled against Bentley. Some 36,000 heavily-redacted documents were provided; another 20,000 were handed over Oct. 12 after the Liberals spotted an apparent oversight.

“This was an orchestrated attempt to deny the people information,” Yakabuski said. “The prorogation of the house is the real tragedy here. This is about telling the public the truth around these power plants.”

The prorogation means no work will be done until a new Liberal leader and premier is selected, likely not for another three to six months. At that time the new leader could suspend the legislature and call an election. That puts an end to the committee investigating the issue. If the Liberals win a majority, they will likely bury it by not reconstituting the committee, Yakabuski explained. If the PCs or NDP win a majority, they can look into the matter to see how much money was lost, but the

primary players will have already been tossed.

“It’s absolutely a point of principle, and democracy,” Yakabuski said.

MacLaren is livid that a year of minority government has produced little in the way of substance, and that the next few months could see even less.

Neither he nor Yakabuski put much weight on the issue of public sector pay freezes. They lament that spending cuts won’t go ahead; the legislation failed to pass before the prorogation.

But the idea that, if McGuinty realized the suspension of collective bargaining is somehow illegal, he needed prorogation as an escape hatch; that is something MacLaren calls a side issue.

“The freeze doesn’t happen,” he said. “All the measures that needed to be taken won’t get done now because of the proroguing.”

Conway’s take Long-time former Liberal MPP Sean Conway appeared on TVO’s The Agenda with Steve Paikin moments after McGuinty’s Oct. 15 announcement. He said the party leader was “leaving with some unfinished business” and “pesky issues,” but that the prorogation gave all parties time to cool down.

He added that family matters play a role in a leader’s decision to step down, but that there is never a best time to leave politics.

“He said that he needed time to reconnect to his family,” Conway said on The Agenda. “There is no easy and good way to leave.”

MacLaren doesn’t have much sympathy with that perspective. He said all MPPs have family commitments, but that the people of Ontario expect work to get done.

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.

These shoeboxes are hand delivered to seniors on occasions such as Seniors’ day, Invalids Day, Veterans’ Day and special anniversa-

ries. 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.

Drop-off locations: • Canadian Red Cross (Kingston) • Community Home Support Lanark County (Smiths Falls & Perth) • Kemptville & District Home Support (Kemptville), • Brockville & District Hospital Foundation (Brockville) • Community & Primary Health Care (Brockville, Athens, Carleton Place, Portland, Prescott) • CPHC – Gananoque (SAIL), • MPP Steve Clark’s Office (Brockville).

Tax receipts will be issued for those who include their name, address and the original receipt(s).

A delicious assortment of theatrical delights... at the Studio Theatre EMC Entertainment - Think of it as a box of chocolates for theatre lovers.

Beginning Nov. 1, fans of live theatre can look forward to indulging in a delectable assortment of short stories for the stage, as the much-loved Evening of One Act Plays returns for a fourth year to the Studio Theatre in Perth.

The one-act play format provides a chance for audiences to see three entirely different self-contained short plays of various genres, each about 30 to 45 minutes long. And this year, for the first time, the Studio Theatre has invited guest theatre companies to present one-acts of their own for the entertainment of Perth audiences. To make the evening even more enticing, most of these plays will be entries in this year’s Eastern Ontario Drama

League One Act Play Festival, which takes place in Kingston the weekend of Nov. 9 to 11.

Each night of An Evening of One Act Plays the first play will feature a different area theatre group.

On Thursday, Nov. 1 it’s the renowned Ottawa Little Theatre performing Behind The Beyond, adapted by Ottawa’s Brian Cano from a Stephen Leacock short story. On Friday, Nov. 2 and Sunday, Nov. 4 enjoy Manotick’s More Theatre and the comedy Bloom, by Saskatchewan playwright Leeann Minogue. And on Saturday, Nov. 3 West Carleton’s Rural Root Theatre will present Pat Cook’s The Morgue the Merrier.

The second play each night will be August Strindberg’s The Stronger, a deceptively simple piece that becomes an intense snapshot of life, and an aston-

ishing piece of stagecraft.

The Stronger is presented by the Valley Players of Almonte. And finally, each night Perth’s own Studio Theatre Productions will perform George Bernard Shaw’s Overruled, a comic look at marriage and infidelity in the early part of the last century, directed by Patricia Parry. Overruled stars Joanna McAuley, Grace Main, Hal Potter and Grey Masson.

Enjoy additional one-act plays for just $5 each.

The Studio Theatre wants everyone to have a chance to experience performances by all the visiting theatre companies over the four-day run of An Evening of One Act Plays. So if you’d like to see a oneact play that wasn’t performed the evening you attended, simply retain your full-price ticket stub, bring it to the Studio Theatre box

Spooktacular dance Oct. 27 to benefit LAWS

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Halloween is Melissa Eirichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite time of year.

In spite of this, the Carleton Place resident and Secret Garden Spa owner has not celebrated for the last couple of years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, however, my friend Jennifer (Johrendt) and I decided to have a party,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Almost immediately friends Lana Kokaua, Katie Thom, Victoria Anstett and Katie Bailey got on board.

The ladies are hosting a Halloween Spooktacular on Saturday, Oct. 27 at the Carleton Place Canoe Club, from 8 p.m. to midnight.

Guests must be 19 years of age or older to attend.

Tickets are $10 each â&#x20AC;&#x201C; available at the door or in advance at Secret Garden Spa, located at 128 Bridge St., or from organizers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Costumes are manda-

tory,â&#x20AC;? said Eirich.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS). â&#x20AC;&#x153;A client mentioned that LAWS was in dire need,â&#x20AC;? said Eirich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need help.â&#x20AC;?

Organizers are hoping to have a LAWS booth (offering information) on site, and there will be donation boxes, too.

Festivities include food, prizes (most creative, most scary, etc.) 50/50 draw, and a lot of fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope people give with their hearts,â&#x20AC;? said Eirich, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and think about the animals.â&#x20AC;?

The Carleton Place Canoe Club is a great venue for a dance. There will be a lot of spooky decorations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coffins and tombstones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really hope we can make a lot of money for LAWS,â&#x20AC;? said Eirich.

Contract negotiations ongoing between CUPE Local 2577 and Family and Children’s Services EMC News – Front line staff, members of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 2577, are currently involved in contract talks with Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

The union has in the past always been able to reach agreement with management.

However, recent negotiations have seen that relationship weaken, stated a CUPE communication.

The Children’s Aid Society of the County of Lanark and the Town of Smiths Falls and Family and Children’s Services of Leeds and Grenville officially amalgamated in August 2011 and is now known as Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

The provincial government ordered the merger as part of its transformation agenda for child welfare in Ontario.

Allan Hogan, executive director of the new organization told the EMC that the public and people served by Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville have not noticed any changes in terms of access to and the delivery of services.

“This speaks to the ability of the staff,” he said.

The organization is a child

welfare agency that is mandated under legislation to investigate allegations of abuse and neglect, protect children, provide adoption services and help families to provide a safe, nurturing place for children and youth to grow up and realize their full potential.

Contract discussions On Oct. 10 front line staff voted 99 per cent to “defend child welfare services.”

“Protecting children and youth and helping families in our communities is a priority for CUPE 2577 members,” says Mike Burt, CUPE 2577 president. “But having the proper supports in place is a concern. The issue here is ensuring that staff have the support necessary to ensure the delivery of quality services and supports to children and families.”

Hogan explained that the recent negotiations are the first since the merger. He described the first conciliation meeting as “good.”

“A forced government merger should not be at the expense of services and staff,” says Burt. “When the government announced the mergers of child welfare agencies, CUPE warned of the negative impacts these would have for children and families who rely on our services. The integration of ser-

vices should not be viewed as an opportunity to reduce supports to the staff that deliver services. The provincial government needs to provide the necessary funding to support the services and staff.”

Hogan said Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville remains committed to providing excellent services, protecting children and youth, working with families and developing strong partnerships with all our stakeholder groups and the public at large.

Burt is hoping for a settlement with Family & Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville that will improve the quality of supports to children and families.

“To value the services, the employer needs to value the workers,” he continues. “We are urging Family & Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville to negotiate a fair settlement that respects the work we have done together in the past and the vision we want to build for the future to ensure the needed level of services and supports are available to the communities CUPE 2577 members support.”

“We couldn’t deliver quality services without our staff,” said Hogan.

COMMENTARY

One young life gone is one too many

Photo by TIFFANY LEPACK

The mighty Mississippi River was calm on this recent fall day beside the Old Almonte Town Hall. This memorial invites visitors to come and enjoy the river

‘Stranger sit and rest and dream, the noisy Millstone turns no more, before you runs the restless stream that seeks the ocean evermore.’

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reader agrees wholeheartedly with writer’s thesis DEAR EDITOR: I was pleased to note Derek Dunn’s perceptive article in the Sept. 20 issue, observing that under successive “P”C and Liberal governments, once-mighty Ontario now ranks at the bottom of the heap in terms of soaking the poor so as to support the wealthy. This certainly narrows down the field from which to choose a party to support in the next election, eh?

As I look back on things during my lifetime, I remember the ‘fifties’ as being an almost blessed time, economically. My parents and grandparents had weathered a depression that had lasted nearly a decade, followed by six years of war. With the peace came all those returning servicemen, and with them the recollection that only 11 years after the end of the First World War came that dreaded depression – what could we do together to prevent a recurrence of this nasty little bit of history?

Well we managed it, somehow, by all pulling together. I always wondered if perhaps part of that 20-plus years of ensuing labour peace and cooperation might have been based in part on the fact that all those “junior executives”, as we called them, that

filled the ranks of companies large and small were now working with the very returned troops with whom they had bonded so closely during the horrors of life on the battlefield.

But labour peace we had, until, as Mr. Dunn points out, Mrs Thatcher and her sidekick Ronald Reagan arrived on the scene.

Mr. Reagan produced his “Reaganomics”; “We’ll cut taxes on the wealthy, and as they spend that money the benefits will trickle down throughout the entire economy and we’ll all benefit – you’ll see!” It sounded as though it made sense, and the public bought it.

The problem was – and is - though, that the wealthy don’t spend their money, because they don’t have to – they invest it.

And so that wealth disappears from the money in circulation – leaving less money chasing the same number of goods – which, as we know, means inflation. Can you remember the 20-cent beer? How about our newly built bungalow in a development for $12,500?

See LETTER page 17

EMC Editorial - Amanda Michelle Todd, a name which is now familiar in households across this country - a name now synonymous with suicide and bullying.

The 15 year-old girl from Port Coquitlam, B.C., died by suicide earlier this month, after posting a video on YouTube, just over a month earlier.

The video, through written cards she held for viewers to read as they went along, told of a long battle with bullying and depression, self mutilation, even earlier suicide attempts. The video did not show her face, merely the cards which told a harrowing tale of unrelenting attacks – verbal, physical and over the internet – from her fellow classmates, at various schools she attended.

She had moved several times to different schools, each time being followed over the internet. Eventually she ended up back in the bullying cycle from which she had previously escaped.

She had made a few mistakes in life, perhaps some poor decisions - but what youth hasn’t made a few mistakes growing up? Everyone has those moments, split second decisions they wish they could take back. Her YouTube video describes one specific moment, which she feels brought on the avalanche of cruelty from her peers. From there the harsh words tumbled putting her into a spiral of torment, both in her own head and everywhere she turned.

Amanda Todd’s decision to end her own life as a result of being bullied brings about many questions that need to be answered.

The schools Todd attended – what were they doing to curb incidents of bullying? Were they taking preventative measures or addressing issues of bullying as they occurred? Obviously not well enough, as Todd’s video describes years of suffering.

But bullying has evolved with technology and has a far reaching scope outside of the classroom. Whether it be undertaken federally or provincially, measures and laws should be enacted so children, and adults even, do not have to be subjected to this kind of abhorrent behaviour.

While local school boards have bullying initiatives in place - are they enough to prevent a similar tragedy here?

Bullying is an unnecessary evil, and needs to be stopped, through whatever means possible. One young life wiped out by suicide is one too many.

Marguirite and Cecil swing into action at school EMC Lifestyle - My little friend Velma and I met at the back fence behind the Northcote School. Her feelings for bad Marguirite were just about the same as mine!

How much do you want to bet she is still in her white store bought underwear that her mother buys in Walkers Store? Our eyes travelled over towards the gate where Marguirite was trying to work herself into a group of Senior Fourth girls who obviously wanted no part of her either.

The less any of us had to do with the girl, the better we liked it.

It wasn’t that she was so bad, even though we all called her bad Marguirite. It was just that she was so privileged!

Being an only child gave her a decided advantage, and also gave her a sense of self importance that none of us could tolerate.

I was very aware of the

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

heavy navy blue fleece lined bloomers I had been forced into a week ago. The weather now had a nip in the air, and even a few snowflakes had fallen. There was no doubt Fall was upon us, and winter wasn’t far behind.

It was a long walk to the Northcote school, and we never knew when the weather was going to change and catch us without warm clothes. So Mother had long since ordered by sister Audrey into heavier white warm underpants, and me into the hateful navy blue fleece lined bloomers we got from Eatons catalogue. I hated them with a passion.

“Bet a dollar she doesn’t even own a pair of those hateful bloomers,” Velma said.

We looked over at Marguirite. There she was. Bouncing around like a rubber ball, in a brand new plaid coat with velvet collar, white stockings, and her usual black patent leather Mary Jane shoes.

“If I had a dollar I would take you up on that Velma.

Everyone our age wears those navy bloomers. And I am pretty sure Marguirite’s Mother would have her in them by now.”

“I don’t think so,” Velma said. With slitted eyes we watched Marguirite at the swinging gate. It was then Velma had a most brilliant idea. It would involve Cecil of course. Everything that had a bit of a risk to it, always involved Cecil. Velma told me to follow her. I was used to that order, and walked with Velma over to the gate.

The gate had to be kept hooked, because it was on a slant, and slammed shut otherwise. Velma called Cecil aside.

That in itself was unusual.

Cecil had very little to do with we younger girls at the Northcote school. But I saw Velma take something out of her lunch bag and hand it over to Cecil and I saw him nodding and looking over at Marguirite.

“Who wants to swing on the gate?” Cecil hollered.

We all loved to swing on the gate, and Marguirite was no exception. The young girls from Junior Third all yelled at once, but since the gate would only hold one at a time, Cecil pointed to Marguirite and said she could go first. Velma beckoned me over and we stood close to the action.

Cecil said you could get a better swing if you put yourself higher on the gate and

bent over. He made Marguirite climb up near the top and then pushed her over so that her head was hanging down on the other side of the gate. I was surprised she went for it.

Marguirite never took orders from anyone.

Cecil stood on the side of the gate where her head was, and he ran the gate closed and then gave it a mighty heave and running, swung it wide open. Marguirite squealed with glee, and Cecil gave her another ride for good measure. Then when the ride was over he accidentally pushed her off to the ground, and she went spread eagle head over tea kettle!

I have no idea how he did it, but Cecil was able to have her land with her new plaid coat and everything under it around her shoulders. And there for the entire Northcote School to see was her store bought underwear from

Walker Store, as white as the driven snow. No navy blue fleece lined bloomers for Marguirite.

Velma just smiled in my direction, nodded to Cecil and we all lined up to go into school as Miss Crosby stood on the step ringing the big brass bell.

I asked Velma how she was able to get Cecil into the act.

She said it cost her two molasses cookies.

That night at home, without giving Mother the details (I knew she would never approve of such shenanigans), I told her that Marguirite didn’t have to wear navy blue fleece lined bloomers, and I could see no reason why I had to. Mother said she didn’t care if even Princess Margaret Rose didn’t wear them or didn’t even own a pair, I would be wearing the navy blue fleece lined bloomers and there would be no further discussion.

to another century (in this case circa 1940). Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Philip Marlowe sort of dick and his abrasive interview style plays beautifully off the other â&#x20AC;&#x153;usual suspectsâ&#x20AC;? throughout the rest of the show.

Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out who-dun-it.

Could it be the assistant director Trixie (Pat Black)?

Perhaps she thought she could do a much better job than her predecessor, or for the same reason the pompous Fritz Fontaine (Robert Horne). Maybe it was the femme fatale, Wanda (Meredith Millman), or the spoiled young preppies, Muffy (Pattie Lockhart) and Blake (Mitchell Roubie), or the dithering and should be long retired, Henry (Don Lee).

EMC Entertainment Having recently seen a sneak preview of the next Mudds Murder Mystery, I can vouch for how much fun the audience will have when they sit down at their tables in the Carleton Place Town Hall on either Friday, Nov. 2 or Saturday, Nov. 3 to experience Murder Me Always by Lee Mueller.

I do mean experience, and not just watch, for as any repeat patron of the mystery dinner theatre can tell you, the action happens all around you and the audience is expected to participate in the solution of the crime being perpetrated!

Along with the joy of watching the Mudds superior mystery troupe of actors stage this latest mystery, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be treated to a feast catered by Ballygiblinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, starting with hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres served between 6:30 and show time at 7 p.mâ&#x20AC;Śso youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to be on time.

This mystery is, like in Hamlet by William Shakespeare, a play within a play, and as Hamlet states in Act II scene 2 â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śthe playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing wherein Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll catch the conscience of the Kingâ&#x20AC;? or, in this case, perhaps the murder mystery murderer!

Without giving much away, the scene is set when a murder mystery is held and the murder mystery murderer strikes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this time killing their director (Tony Scott). This troupe (unlike our wonderful Mudds) couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act their way out of a paper bag, so perhaps it is a blessing when their mystery has to come to sudden halt. Fear not, however, the show doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end here, for in the audience is one seasoned detective, Joe Mamet (Brian McManus), a cast back

Millman) or the plain Jane, goody two shoes Dolores (Judith Scott), or the hard working cabby that gets wrangled into playing host (Linda Pond), unless, of course they were not what they seem.

I think Mamet may need help on this one, so get yourselves down to the Chamber of Commerce Office at 132 Coleman St. and nab yourself a seat for this latest Mudds theatrical feast.

Tickets are $45 and include dinner, show, gratuities and taxes. There will be a cash bar. For those with mobility concerns, there is an elevator at the Town Hall.

Proposed womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monument honours victims and lets all who visit know the impact of domestic violence

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; They are the women of Lanark County murdered at the hands of their spouses/ partners since the 1980s.

Fourteen names will be inscribed on a proposed womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monument, which will almost certainly be located in Perth, Carleton Place council heard on Oct. 9.

The monument is a project of the Survivor Engagement Group, a group of women survivors of abuse who reside in Lanark County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (idea for a) monument is supported by Lanark County Interval House (LCIH),â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Bingham, the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public education outreach coordinator, who presented as a delegation with Katherine Watson.

The duo also appeared before Mississippi Mills council on Oct. 15.

Bingham explained the monument is important for several reasons: pays respect to and honours abused and murdered women; provides recog-

nition for the families of victims of woman abuse; brings much needed awareness of the issue to the greater community; makes available a public space for gathering for vigils and memorials; and sends a message of inclusion to women still living in abusive situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These women cannot be forgotten, their deaths were a tragedy that we can work to prevent,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families can see that there is no shame, that our community cares about what happened to their loved ones, and that this type of violence is not something that is a private matter to be kept silent or secret behind closed doors.â&#x20AC;?

Whether people are passing by or gathering at the site for an event, the monument will be highly visible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will make people think about the reality,â&#x20AC;? said Bingham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There really are victims of abuse here in Lanark County â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our mothers, sisters, daughters and friends.â&#x20AC;?

Many communities across the nation have al-

ready dedicated space for honouring abused women.

Brockville and Ottawa, for example.

Bingham and Watson told the councillors that they could help by supporting the monument by way of raising awareness of its existence, in addition to the issues of violence against women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have clout,â&#x20AC;? said Bingham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the project unfolds there are also opportunities for in-kind donations,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Of course, as honoured guests, councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance at the unveiling and ribbon cutting would be much appreciated.

There are two sites proposed for the statue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stewart Park and beside the courthouse. Both offer plenty of space.

Two local female artists have been shortlisted for creating the monument, which will be constructed out of bronze or stone.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, an area businessperson has offered to donate custom made benches to the initiative, so people can sit and reflect.

Bingham noted the family members of the 14 women are being consulted about the monument. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will let them know that this will be handled respectfully,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well said,â&#x20AC;? commented Coun. Jerry Flynn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The message is there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unfortunately.â&#x20AC;?

Domestic and sexual violence continue to be priority concerns in Lanark County. If you are in crisis, call 911, Ontario Provincial Police (1-888310-1122), Perth Police (613-267-3131, Smiths Falls Police (613-2830357), LCIH (1-800-2677946) or visit the emergency department at your local hospital.

Rideau Trail hike raises almost $28,000 in six years

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Lifestyle – Mike Lush may have ended his sixth annual Rideau Trail Hike to End Cancer, but the battle rages on.

In a fight that has become so personal, Lush says he will keep doing these walks year in and year out to continue raising funds. Cancer has taken away so many of his aunts, uncles and his mother – this year it also took away his dear cousin Don Williams.

“His mom and my mom were joined at the hip,” he

commented, of the younger cousin he grew up with.

“There seldom was a weekend I didn’t see him.”

Describing Williams as a “healthy guy,” Lush explained his good friend passed away from gastric cancer.

Over the course of the over half a decade he has been walking the Rideau Trail he has raised close to $28,000 for cancer research. Each year he switches it up, one year he will walk from Kingston to Ottawa, the next year vice versa. Leaving Kingston

this year, Oct. 11, at the time he spoke with EMC, he felt he would have reached his destination in Ottawa by Monday, Oct. 22.

Each year he has found the network of those who donate to the walk has “expanded” which has resulted in raising further dollars.

“I am just going to keep doing this,” for as long as he can. Lush explained he will still be doing the walk at age 90, even if it takes him six months to walk the trail.

On the web page created for the event, Lush

calls cancer a “scourge to mankind like no other.” He went on to note, “It affects everyone, not just the unfortunate people who contract the disease but everyone else too.”

Lush feels the only obstacle to finding a cure for cancer is money, hence his annual trek to raise those all important dollars.

“The lack of political will to tackle this problem in a serious way, is seriously slowing our progress,” he commented. “If our politicians made this commitment, we could end

cancer in less than a decade. If those same politicians committed as little as half the money they now spend on their public relations budgets, it would end

the funding shortfall.”

Operation Christmas Child seeking donations EMC News - Through Operation Christmas Child, the community can join tens of thousands of people across Canada to fill empty shoe boxes for impoverished children around the world.

In 2012, Operation Christmas Child expects to reach a milestone - collecting and delivering more than 100 million shoe boxes since the project began in 1993. Last year Ontario residents contributed 262,875 boxes and 672,274 were collected in all of Canada.

Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purse, is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest Christmas project of its kind. Through the power of a simple gift and message of hope, these young survivors of natural disaster, war, famine and poverty learn they are loved and not forgotten.

Samaritanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purse also provides disaster relief in countries around the world including Canada. In 2010 they provided relief in Leamington, Ontario fol-

lowing a powerful tornado, in Medicine Hat, Alberta and Zeeland, New Brunswick they provided help to clean-up after flooding; in 2011 they provided flood relief in Quebec and forest fire relief in Slave Lake, Alberta. This year in March they provided flood relief in New Brunswick where the St. John River overflowed its banks forcing over one third of PerthAndoverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,700 residents to evacuate.

From Nov. 19 to 25, packed gifts will be dropped off at a collection centre in Perth. Once dropped off, the shoe boxes are processed, prepared, and transported to suffering children in more than 130 countries using whatever means necessary - trains, airplanes, boats, elephants, bikes and even dog sleds - to get the shoe boxes into the hands of hurting children.

What gifts go in the shoe boxes? Toys - stuffed animals, dolls, building blocks, balls, small cars, musical items (harmonica, whistles, etc.). School supplies

- pens, pencils, sharpeners, crayons, coloured pencils, erasers, notebooks, colouring books, solar calculators. Hygiene products toothbrushes (customs will not allow toothpaste), soap (placed in a plastic bag), hair brushes, combs, hair clips and accessories, small towels. Other - individually wrapped hard candy in a sealable bag. Clothing - tshirts, socks, hats, gloves, scarfs, sunglasses, flipflops or toy jewellery. A personal note and/or a photo is appreciated by the child receiving the box. Choose to pack your box for a girl or boy, ages 2 - 4, 5 - 9, or 10 - 14 and you may receive a thank you letter from one of these precious children as others have in previous years.

Just think, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a young boy, Immanuel, from Indonesia who is mentally challenged who received a little toy car which he had been dreaming about for most of his young life or an eight year old girl, Paw Malie, living in a refugee camp in Thai-

land who found a beautiful dress in her box and wants to wear it every day, show that these gifts make a great difference in the lives of the children. The impact in these countries is great as there is no help for destitute families who fight day by day to feed their children and provide them with the barest necessities never being able to provide them with any extras. Countries welcome the boxes as they bring such joy to the children who suffer through tragedies whether weather related, poverty, sickness or from war and they are very often forgotten in all the upheaval going on around them.

This year the boxes will be distributed to the following countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Senegal,

144 Gore St., Perth; K W Outdoor Power Sales, 6062 Hwy 43, Perth; the Buchanans, 24 Haggart St., Perth. The date the boxes are to be returned is Monday, Nov. 19 at Asbury Free Methodist Church between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. If you are unable to bring your boxes on that date please call and we can make other arrangements.

Incorporation consideration

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a small unincorporated business owner or a professional whose regulatory body allows incorporation, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably given the potential benefits of incorporating a great deal of thought.

The most often cited benefits of incorporation are a more advantageous tax structure and creditor-proofing personal finances. But there can be drawbacks. Here are some of the issues to consider when making your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;incorporate or notâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision.

Cash Flow If you need all of the profits from your business to support your personal cash flow needs, incorporation may not be for you because the cost of setting up and maintaining the corporation could outweigh any tax benefits.

On the other hand, if you are financially able to retain some profits inside the company, you could derive significant tax savings.

Taxation Vexation If you are just starting your business, incorporation should probably wait because losses incurred by an incorporated business canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flow through to shareholders. In the early stages of your business, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely better off using losses personally against other income.

Once your business begins earning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;active business incomeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (income earned from your business operation, not, for example, from other corporate investments) you may gain an immediate tax break

Manage Your Money

(in some provinces) and the opportunity to defer part of your tax payment.

Creditor-proofing Personal Assets Corporate creditors can only go after assets owned by the corporation, but banks and other suppliers often require small business owners to personally guarantee corporate liabilities and corporate directors may be liable for many types of unpaid debts such as outstanding income tax, HST, GST and employee source deductions. Incorporation may provide some creditor protection, but only if properly structured, so speak to an advisor to ensure you are protected.

Other Potential Advantages of incorporation â&#x20AC;˘ Income-splitting to reduce taxes by making your spouse or adult children shareholders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dividends will be taxed in their hands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or employing them as long as the remuneration is reasonable for the work performed. â&#x20AC;˘ Deferring certain expenses.

For example, you can report employee bonuses for tax purposes before year-end but actually pay out the bonus money after year-end. â&#x20AC;˘ Leaving assets in the corporation where they will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis until you choose the

withdraw them.

â&#x20AC;˘ Creating a registered pension plan and tax-deductible group health and life insurance plan for you and your employees (which could include family members). â&#x20AC;˘ Choosing a fiscal year spanning any 12-month period. Select a fiscal year that coincides with business or cash flow peaks or when corporate expenses are higher (potentially reducing your tax bite).

Incorporating a business comes with costs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from initial setup and legal costs to ongoing requirements for tax returns and corporate resolutions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and other legal requirements. But if you think incorporation may be right for you, speak with your legal and tax advisor and professional advisor before you do.

Assistive technology for seniors workshop; Learn latest concepts and technologies Those who advocate for services, make caregiving decisions and develop policy for seniors— seniors and their families and friends; caregivers; hospital discharge specialists; volunteers and media focused on seniors issues; staff of senior residences, home support organizations, health centres, access centres, health units, and companies providing medical equipment—will learn about new technologies that they can apply to solve aging issues for their friends, relatives and clients.

Presenter Alex Mihailidis, Ph.D., P.Eng., is the Barbara G. Stymiest Research Chair in Rehabilitation Technology at the University of Toronto and Toronto Rehab Institute. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy and in the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. Dr. Mihailidis has been conducting research in the field of pervasive computing and intelligent systems in heath for 15

years. One focus has been on intelligent home systems for elder care and wellness.

Dr. Mihailidis is also very active in the rehabilitation profession, currently as the President of RESNA (Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America).

During the workshop, Dr. Mihailidis will present the physical, sensory and cognitive issues faced by older adults, followed by a review of the concepts of assistive technology.

Then he will introduce the new design paradigms and applications of technologies such as smart home systems, robotics and the “intelligent” wheelchair.

His talk will conclude with a look into the future.

Living a healthier life beyond cancer this program turned our focus from a fearful past to a hopeful future. We even made a trip to Brussels to see our son and his family.” Dorothy Hobbs, cancer survivor, added, “The impact of the course took place when we acted on the plans developed during the sessions.

Then we used our skills to help others in the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life. Life once more became exciting and meaningful.”

Dorothy even climbed a rugged mountain trail on Mount Washington, something she couldn’t imagine doing a year before.

Living Well Beyond Cancer will address: techniques to deal with the psychosocial aspects of cancer, appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength, communication and healthy eating. You will learn how to: • Manage symptoms, treatment side effects and medications • Work with your healthcare team • Set goals and make plans to achieve goals • Solve problems and handle difficult emotions.

The next session will be held at Zion Memorial United Church, 37 Franklin St, Carleton Place from 6 to 8:30 p.m., starting Monday, Nov. 5 for six weeks.

EMC Lifestyle - The Canadian Cancer Society in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville counties will offer the program, “Living Well Beyond Cancer” for the first time in Carleton Place this fall. It is designed for posttreatment cancer patients and their caregivers who strive to live a healthy life. Living Well Beyond Cancer is based on the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program researched and developed at Stanford University. The program is designed to help people gain confidence in their ability to control their symptoms and live the best possible life with a long-term condition. If you are a posttreatment cancer patient or a caregiver, Living Well Beyond Cancer may be for you.

This free program is conducted as a two and a halfhour workshop held weekly for six weeks, and is led by two trained Stanford-licensed peer leaders with a cancer or caregiver experience. The highly interactive meetings focus on building skills, sharing experiences and setting weekly objectives. Skills are taught to support day-to-day living with-and beyond-cancer, and to maintain or increase life’s activities.

Feedback from participants from the first two sessions held in Perth and Kemptville was overwhelmingly positive. Almost a year after the Perth program, past participant and caregiver Jack Hobbs, says, “We constantly talk about things we learned and discussed and how

EMC Entertainment - If you’re in the mood for a family treat, then you must attend the traditional English Panto by your local musical theatre troupe, the Mississippi Mudds, this holiday season.

The story begins with the Princess of Pekin pledged to marry Prince Pekoe, son of the Grand Vizier, but she doesn’t love him and hopes to find someone else. To deter other suitors, her parents, His Majesty, the Emperor of China-Chopsuey the Twelfth and Dragona the 13th, the Empress of China, have issued a decree that whoever looks at their daughter, the Princess Say Wen, will be beheaded.

Enter Aladdin. He’s wanted by the Chinese police for speaking to the Princess in the palace garden! While he’s running around town hiding, the Princess attends her birthday celebration. There the Illusionist from Egypt, The Great Abanazar, presents a magic show. However, the royal family is unaware that the real reason why Abanazar is in China is to find a magic lamp.

Abanazar discovers Aladdin and tries to convince him to help search for the magic lamp and a treasure. Aladdin is uncertain at first but thinks it sure would be nice to find that treasure to help care for his mother, the widow Twankey who operates a laundry; his

Be Healthy! Body, Mind

Health Unit hosts interactive workshop on poverty awareness EMC Events - The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, in partnership with the Food Matters Coalition is hosting an interactive workshop called “Take A Walk In My Shoes”.

This event, taking place on Nov. 16, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the “New Hope” Brockville Tabernacle, aims to raise awareness about the barriers people living with low income face, and the day-to-day stigma that is often associated with poverty. Participants navigate through a maze where they will experience the challenges of trying to secure some of the most basic necessities in life – money, food and shelter.

In Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, approximately one in 10 families, and one in nine children, are living with low income. Families living with low income spend 63 per cent of their income on food, shelter and clothing, leaving them with very little money left over for anything else. Ac-

cording to a recent Nutritious Food Basket Survey, the cost of feeding a family of four in our area is $176.39 per week.

This means some families may have to choose between buying healthy foods and putting a roof over their heads.

“Having access to healthy, safe and affordable food and housing is essential to being healthy, and not everyone in our community has the same opportunity for health,” says Joanne Desormeaux, Health Equity Coordinator at the Health Unit.

“Take A Walk In My Shoes” provides an opportunity for members of our community to better understand the challenges people living with low incomes face, and to start the conversation about how we can work together to create better health.

EMC News – In the simplest of terms… “Thank you.”

More than a few people gathered at the Army Navy & Air Force Club in Carleton Place on Oct. 12 to celebrate People First of Lanark County (PFoLC) president Kory Earle for all that he has done for the organization and community.

After six years at the helm of PFoLC, Earle is stepping down. However, on Nov. 1 he begins a brand new role – executive director.

Manon Lepine assumes the presidency and other members of PFoLC’s executive board are Linda Young (vice president), Courtney O’Halloran (treasurer), Lorry Laing (fundraising chair) and Chris Purdy (fundraising vice chair).

Six years ago Earle started the People First chapter in Carleton Place, and before long he expanded to include all of Lanark County.

“Over the course of my life I have faced many challenges, but I am proud of what I have been able to do,” he said. “My goal has always been to help people, whether they have a disability or not.”

PFoLC promotes equality for all citizens.

Earle praised his family for their love and encouragement, and he acknowledged the area’s politicians (from all levels of government) for their continued support and respect.

“I also want to thank the community for standing by me,” he said.

PFoLC has remained united on a number of issues over the last few years, including picketing in front of people’s homes, acceptance, inclusive education, housing and bullying.

Furthermore, Earle is extremely proud PFoLC has been able to give back to the community by way of its annual Bunny Run and Community Christmas Dinner, as

well as champion the Lanark County Food Bank and local troops.

Long line of well-wishers Unable to attend Earle’s celebration, Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc prepared a statement that was read out loud.

“Kory knows I love to garden and quite frankly, there is nothing more enjoyable than just sitting in the garden on a lazy summer afternoon and watching all the activity – in the insect world, that is!” she wrote.

LeBlanc compared Earle to the ants that never stop working, the honeybees that are always searching for the sweetest flowers, the mosquitoes buzzing around that can’t be ignored, and the beautiful butterflies that make the world a better place in which to live.

Warden of Lanark County, John Gemmell, in a letter that was read to guests, described the appreciation night for Earle as a fitting tribute, “as he has dedicated himself to the People First organization over the years and has done a stellar job in promoting their values and goals.”

During the special celebration, as a token of appreciation, Perth Mayor John Fenik presented Earle with a book about the Town of Perth.

“It is absolutely wonderful,” said the outgoing president.

Earle noted that one of the evening’s highlights for him was the attendance of Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Carleton-Mississippi Mills Jack MacLaren.

Also stopping by to wish Earle the best was Beckwith councillor Brian Dowdall.

PFoLC is headquartered in a small office on the property of the Free Methodist Church, located at 355 Moffatt St. in Carleton Place.

Rainbarrel capital of Ontario?

EMC Lifestyle - Last summer’s drought got a lot of people thanking their lucky stars they had a rainbarrel, especially in cottage country. It makes sense to save and use what Mother Nature gives us rather than making the expensive municipal drinking water system or your private well work hard to produce water for gardening and general outdoor use.

Rainbarrels: • conserve water by collecting, storing and distributing clean, chemical-free water at no cost; • reduce erosion and sediment loading in local streams/lakes by reducing runoff from your property; • promote infiltration of water into the ground to replenish groundwater supply and decrease your water bill if your drinking water is metered.

Now that Thanksgiving’s past and the outdoor furniture is cleaned up (using rainbarrel water) and safely

tucked away for another season, it’s time to “winterize” your trusty old rain barrel for longer life and better performance in four easy steps: • disconnect the eavestrough downspout from the barrel (don’t forget to reconnect a downspout extension to funnel water away from house foundations) • empty and rinse the rain barrel • keep the screen, the valves and the hose together in one box • store the barrel upside down either outside or in your garage or basement.

If you don’t have a rainbarrel yet, especially at the cottage, you can pick them up inexpensively at one of the Conservation Foundation’s three rain barrel sales to be held next April (Manotick), May (Smiths Falls) and June (Westport) 2013.

Happy endings shared for one feline “Happy Ending” Story Some weeks ago “Kiki”, the female cat, was featured in the LAWS EMC column. Here is her very own “Happy Ending” story…

Kiki had a litter while at the shelter. Her kittens quickly found homes and mom Kiki was sent to one of the Pet Valu stores that have partnered with us and who are helping us by adopting out our cats. After a short stay at her “Pet Valu Home” Kiki was adopted by a nice gentleman who visited her in-store. It was love at first sight! He adopted Kiki as a

This Week’s Pets

companion that would travel with him to Florida in a Recreational Vehicle (R.V.). The nice man outfitted his newly acquired little red princess with cozy blankets, a bed, a cat-carrier, some toys, food and a special seat for her travels in the R.V. He also went to the vet to get her updated on whatever she needed. The day they left for Florida, before starting on their trip together, the nice adopter man came by the Pet Valu store one last time to purchase more “fun things” for Kiki’s journey and off they went.... What a lucky cat...

A nice man with his little red princess (whom he was thinking of renaming “Gabi”) are on their way, travelling to Florida where they will stay all winter long, away from the bitter cold

and wet snow, basking in the sun... What a wonderful life for our little Kiki!

Tobi is a six year old male black cat. We don’t know what happened in Tobi’s life before coming to LAWS… He’s sad, shy, and at times a little fearful of the unknown. However, when you pick him up from his cubby hole where he likes to hide, he will allow you to do so for a short little while. Patience will be needed to earn Tobi’s trust as he is more timid and reserved than the average cat. He needs that one special person who is willing to take

the time to make him feel loved. We’re sure that he will love you back!

Alabaster and Ace are two domestic short hair, male siblings. One is white and the other is black. They are about six months old and currently reside in Perth at one of our very supportive Pet Valu stores. Initially they were hiding all the time, but they’ve come around just beautifully. Both cats are very friendly, very well groomed and would love to find a home together but separate homes would also be an option. Please come visit them

at the Pet Valu store in Perth, situated at 80 Dufferin St. Lanark Animal Welfare Society is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kms west of Smiths Falls. The shelter is open Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Write to us at P.O. Box 156, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 or contact us at 613-2839308, or email at shelter@la-

recipes that you will make in your own kitchen, and enjoy.

No matter who I talk to, I hear the same comment about my recipes again and again. They are easy to prepare with ingredients that you have on hand.

This year, my life suddenly took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Needless to say, this came as a complete shock, particularly as I had never smoked. I am now undergoing treatment and have had to make major changes in my life.

As a result, this will be my last cooking column. I

have enjoyed writing about cooking for many years, and I know that I will miss it.

I am giving you one last recipe, Jennieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brownies. They are very easy to make, and everyone loves them. Make them often, and enjoy every delicious bite.

Jennieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brownies about 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder to dust the baking pan 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1 cup white sugar 2 eggs, well beaten with a fork

1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not hot chocolate mix) 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) Butter the bottom and sides of an 8â&#x20AC;? square cake pan. Sprinkle 1 tsp. of cocoa powder over the buttered surfaces. Tap the pan to spread the powder evenly, and discard any excess.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir well.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the pan comes out clean. Cool the pan on a wire rack.

These are good with or without icing.

Senior Thunderbolts complete perfect regular season by blanking Notre Dame EMC Sports - Almonte and District High School Senior Thunderbolts put an exclamation mark on an outstanding regular season, blanking Notre Dame Catholic High School Warriors of Carleton Place 30-0 at Naismith Field Friday afternoon to complete a perfect 6-0 campaign.

Today (Thursday) Thunderbolts are scheduled to face fourth place Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) Blue Devils in one of two Lanark County Senior High School Football League semi-final games.

Kick-off is set for 2 p.m. at Naismith Field.

In the other game third place Notre Dame travels to Perth to face second place St. John Catholic High School Spartans.

Game-time at St. John field is 1 p.m.

Almonte, who had already secured first place and home field advantage throughout the playoffs with their fifth victory one week earlier, didn’t take their foot off the gas against Notre Dame (2-4).

Versatile backfielder Wes Mann returned to the line-up after a one game absence due to injury and picked up right where he left off. Mann scampered for two rushing touchdowns and he also converted on a halfback option pass, connecting with teammate Andy Bassett on a 28-yard

pass and run play that went for another major.

Brad Drynan ran for 63 yards on five carries including the final touchdown of the afternoon for the home team.

Quarterback Brett Mosley wrapped up a strong regular season by completing four of six passes for 61 yards and helping put the ADHS offence in scoring position.

This year marks the first undefeated regular season for Senior Thunderbolts since 2006. Four of their victories were shutouts.

Two other season finales were played Friday in the Lanark senior league. St. John nailed down second with a 35-10 home field triumph over Smiths Falls and District Collegiate Institute RedHawks. PDCI secured the fourth and final playoff place by mauling visiting Carleton Place High School (CPHS) Golden Bears 36-6.

Perth advanced due to a better points for and against average leaving CPHS, along with Smiths Falls, on the sidelines for the playoffs.

The very tight LanarkRenfrew Junior High School Football League also went down to the wire Friday to determine the final standings.

Visiting St. John defeated Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) Junior Raiders 21-9 and Arnprior

District High School Junior Redmen outlasted visiting Almonte 29-26.

Although St. John and Arnprior tied for first with identical 6-1 records, Spartans claim first because of their 16-6 win over Redmen Sept. 28.

Also Friday it was Smiths Falls downing visiting CPHS 27-15 while Perth defeated Notre Dame 32-20.

Smiths Falls and Carleton Place finished tied with 5-2 records. But Junior RedHawks win over CPHS Friday gave them third place ahead of the Bear Cubs.

In the junior semi-final games today (Thursday) St. John will host Carleton Place at 3 p.m. while Smiths Falls travels to Arnprior for a 2 o’clock engagement.

Last Tuesday (Oct. 16) teams in the Junior Division played their sixth games of the campaign. The contests failed to break the log-jam at the top of the eight team loop.

CPHS, St. John and Arnprior all moved to 5-1 with easy victories.

In Carleton Place the host Bears mauled Renfrew (3-3) by a big 41-6 count to stay tied at the top. Visiting St. John blanked Almonte (1-5) by a 27-0 final while in Arnprior the high-flying Junior Redmen pounded Perth Collegiate 46-15.

With the setback PDCI also fell to 1-5.

In the other Tuesday game, also played in Carleton Place, it was Smiths Falls improving to 4-2 with a 33-6 romp over Notre Dame Junior Warriors.

The Renfrew County Senior Football League ended in predictable fashion Friday.

Two-time defending league and provincial (Tier 2) champions Arnprior bounced Mackenzie High School of Deep River 30-1 to complete a perfect 6-0 campaign. Meanwhile Renfrew (4-2) finished second with a 42-13 decision over winless Fellowes High School Falcons of Pembroke.

Senior Redmen will now await the winner of today’s semi-final clash between RCI and Mackenzie at Renfrew. Kick-off for that one is scheduled for 2 o’clock.

Following today’s semi-

finals, the championship games in all three leagues are set for Friday, Nov. 2 at the home of the semi-final survivors with the best regular season records.

1935 Singer Le Mans recaptures glory days of racing EMC Lifestyle - Singer automobiles were manufactured in England from 1905 to 1970. In 1928, Singer ranked third in British car production behind Morris and Austin. By the mid 1930s, all Singers had overhead camshafts, making them ideal for racing. One Singer placed 13th at Le Mans in 1933 (the first British car to do so) and seventh in 1934, thus giving this model the generic term “Le Mans.”

A beautiful 1935 Singer Le Mans Special Speed Model with aluminum body and 972 cc four cylinder engine with overhead camshaft was recently purchased by Barry Phillips, one of the organizers of the Merrickville Car Show held Sunday, July 8. More than 1,000 vintage vehicles attended this popular annual event in this picturesque eastern Ontario town. Watch for next year’s show Sunday, July 7, 2013.

Barry located his Singer in Bury St. Edmonds in the U.K. It was sold new to someone in Northern Ireland.

About 50 still exist worldwide, and about five in North America. His car was fully restored when he took delivery of it, but the engine had not yet been run in. To give it a good run along back country roads, Barry invited Paul Bouchard to slide behind the wheel with Barry as passen-

ger in this 2-seater car. Paul is the President of the North American Singers Owners Club, which publishes an excellent bi-monthly “NEWS” magazine. Paul Avis, the club’s Pre-War Registrar, also took the wheel and both he and Paul gave Barry’s car an excellent evaluation. It runs very well.

Barry lived in the Birmingham and Coventry area of England from 1946 to 1971, where he met people who worked for Singer. In a conversation in 1961 with J. D. Barnes of the Singer Competitions Dept., Barry heard several stories of Singers prepared for racing. For those cars, Mr. Barnes always requested camshafts made on the night shift because the Singer plant was old and the machinery was old.

The heavy daytime traffic outside caused the camshaft profiling machine to shake, thus grinding cams off tolerance.

Barry Phillips’ car was profiled in the club magazine’s first issue for 2012 with interesting details about his car: “This Le Mans, UK registra-

tion EZ-2320, was manufac-

tured in late December 1935 when production of 1936 models had commenced and includes a number of details that also appeared on 1936 cars.”

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Listening to senior citizens very astute planning EMC Lifestyle - I have never heard anyone say they enjoy being old. Issues and problems occur throughout our lives but based on my observations and experiences the challenges increase as we become older.

None of us can resist the ravages of time. A look in the mirror tells me everything I need to know about that! In recent years my head has been growing through my hair and the relatively small amount of hair that remains is now grayer than the original full crop of black hair I once sported.

Getting up in the morning is a far bigger chore than it used to be. For one thing I’m not always as motivated to rise as I once was. But more to the point I have to shake off the effects of morning back ache or sore arms and legs, especially if I spent the previous afternoon mowing the grass or collecting the ever increasing crop of fallen leaves.

Hearing my struggles (my oaths more to the point) my wife Kathleen now likes to intone, “We’re getting older Jeffrey!”

I head to the bathroom, muttering more oaths.

This past summer I officially joined the rapidly growing ranks of senior citizens. I would be lying if I said I am thrilled about that!

I’m now pensionable which is something I suppose?

But as some wise and oftquoted individual once said, “If

you can’t beat `em, join `em!”

Last week I did exactly that.

I took part in a first in the history of Carleton Place, a Seniors’ Forum sponsored by town council and organized by the Mills Community Support Corporation based in neighbouring Mississippi Mills. The venture was run with the support of Carleton Place town staff.

To explain more fully, as someone well known in the community I was asked to participate as a facilitator (or table host) during an event which included three separate conversations aimed at learning what seniors in the community think about Carleton Place and which path they would like to see the town follow in future.

There is always a risk involved in setting up such a session. Will people come out and participate?

Due to a good advance selling job including some newspaper publicity, which I was involved in, the turnout was better than expected. Organizers originally told me they were expecting some 50 residents would take part. Instead nearly 80 showed up, ready to play their part in helping map the future of Carleton Place and in particular how long range planning will impact senior citizens.

Counting the facilitators, recorders (information imparted by the participants was recorded on paper for future ref-

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

erence) and organizers nearly 100 people enjoyed the lunch which was our reward for taking part.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much insight we received during the three hour session. It was a very productive exercise, one that should be repeated on occasion!

Excellent approach Bravo to Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Carleton Place council for championing this cause. The folks at MCSC led

by Michael Coxon and Jeff Mills also deserve kudos for their very capable coordination.

When you think about it, who better to talk to about the future of a community than the people who have lived there the longest. It’s a no-brainer really.

The approach taken at the Carleton Place Seniors’ Forum was a positive one. The idea was to build on the strengths of the community by starting with the premise the town has a lot going for it. A good starting point considering that is very true in my opinion. We’ve lived here nearly 37 years and the place just keeps getting better!

A concern in this kind of information gathering process is that it will turn into a complaining session. That didn’t happen! Certainly the deficiencies in the community were clearly identified and the hope is that at the end of this process (the meeting last week was simply the beginning) many of the issues identified will have been tackled and additions and improvements made.

There were 10 tables with six participants, a facilitator and recorder. I was fortunate enough to work with Sergeant Rob Croth, the community sergeant at the Carleton Place Ontario Provincial Police detachment. We tag teamed, alternating as table host and information gatherer which worked very well.

The citizens involved rotated from table to table three times over the course of two hours. At the end of the morning session Coxon conducted a review. The participants were

encouraged to tell everyone in attendance what their visions are for the future of Carleton Place, focusing five years down the road.

Many people spoke and some valuable information was imparted, all of which will be added to a long-term program council is working to put in place.

As for the round table talks, as you would expect with a group of seniors discussion focused on things such as affordable housing, activities for seniors in the community and transportation options, especially for those who no longer drive their own vehicles.

At our table we covered a wide variety of subjects with 18 individuals. Besides the expected topics there was also discussion about safety and security (sensible considering a police officer was at the table), recreation (health and fitness options) including adding washrooms along the town’s growing trail network, improving downtown crosswalks, providing better public access to areas of the Mississippi River and a host of other topics.

The purpose of the exercise is to create a map of what it might take to create a more age-friendly community. Call

it “on the spot research” if you like!

Once again, who better to ask for ideas about how to make a community a better place to live than those who actually live there!

At the top of the handout we received on the way into the auditorium at the newly christened Carambeck Community Centre (formerly Carambeck Public School) was this line.

“This forum provides an opportunity to engage in a process of discovery.”

How apropos! That is exactly what happened. We discovered that the people with the best ideas are our oldest and in so many cases our wisest residents. Hardly surprising considering what so many of these folks have accomplished during their working lives. They weren’t always senior citizens.

If growing old means I have joined the ranks of such a fine group of intelligent, caring individuals then the journey ahead will be that much easier.

For me the bottom line here is that every community should take advantage of a very important asset, its senior citizens!

Film focused on psychopaths hard to gauge

www.cobrapools.com

My Take MARK HASKINS

ity crosses over into Marty’s script and Marty’s script crosses over into reality.

The film has no shortage of psychopaths. You have Charlie of course, and the masked vigilante killing members of the mafia. There’s the nut that answers the ad Billy posted for psychopaths to come share their stories. Hans turns out to be an Amish psychopath, and you can’t forget Billy who’s also a nut case. To say this film has an odd collection of characters goes beyond understatement. Attempting to puzzle it out might bring on its own kind of madness.

In the end I suppose Seven Psychopaths is about friendship, good and evil, and maybe Heaven and Hell. It’s kind of a comedy, or at least it has funny moments. Though they’re the kind of funny moments that leave you feeling a little uncomfortable. There’s surprisingly little violence for a movie with seven psychopaths in it, but the violence that does happen is shocking and horrific. Most of the film is about a character gaining a better understanding

of the others. The film really attempts to make these psychopaths human and sort of likeable. It’s equal parts compelling and disturbing. Which I think makes it more disturbing.

The performances are just as compelling and disturbing as the story. Which I think makes them good. Collin Farrell plays a great drunken screenwriter. Sam Rockwell gives the kind of convincing performance that makes you want to take him off your ‘stars I’d like to have dinner with’ list. Christopher Walken goes from likeable old man to terrifying old man in the blink of an eye. Woody Harrelson rounds things out with a performance of a stereotypical violent psychopath who is anything but stereotypical.

I’m still not sure what I thought about Seven Psychopaths. It’s definitely one of the most unique films I’ve seen. I think this is the kind of film you’ll just have to see for yourself.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

MOVIE: Seven Psychopaths STARRING: Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Woody Harrelson DIRECTOR: Martin McDonagh RATING: 18A EMC Lifestyle - Seven Psychopaths is... well... it’s... the truth is I’m not sure what it is. I’m still trying to figure out if I even liked it. I think the one thing I can say about it is that it was different. It was definitely different.

This is the story of Marty (Colin Farrell) who’s an alcoholic screenwriter struggling with his latest script. He’s got the title, Seven Psychopaths, and that’s it. It’s also about his friend Billy (Sam Rockwell) who’s an actor and a dognapper. Billy is trying to help Marty, but then he takes Charlie’s (Woody Harrelson) dog. Charlie is the local gangster and a complete psychopath. He’s determined to get his dog back and kill anyone involved.

The film is an odd combination of Marty writing his script, Seven Psychopaths, and it actually happening to him. While Marty, Billy and Billy’s dognapping partner Hans (Christopher Walken) are on the run from Charlie, they’re also trying to finish Marty’s script. There’s this kind of merger as real-

Community Home Support – Lanark County expands its Adult Bereavement Support Groups

By BARBARA CARROLL

EMC News - Earlier this year Community Home Support - Lanark County began offering a monthly Adult Bereavement Support Group in Carleton Place as a complement to its existing Bereavement Programs in the Perth area.

The response has been overwhelming.

It has underscored the number of bereaved in our communities, reinforced the value of peer support in the journey of grief, and identified the need for additional bereavement programs.

As a result, Community Home Support-Lanark County is pleased to offer an expanded range of adult bereavement support services this fall.

The existing Adult Bereavement Support Group will continue as an ongoing open group. It meets at the Waterside Retire-

ment Home, 105 McNeely Avenue in Carleton Place.

We continue our debt of gratitude to the Waterside Retirement Home as they are offering the space for the Bereavement Group free of charge. This group meets on the last Wednesday of each month, from 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

When members of the Carleton Place group voiced that they wanted to meet more frequently than once a month, Community Home Support–Lanark County responded by adding an Adult Bereavement Walking Group, also in Carleton Place. This group meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 1:30 p.m. at Starbucks on the corner of Hwy. 7 and McNeely Avenue and walks the new Beckwith Trail.

The success of the Bereavement Support Group in Carleton Place has also prompted Community

Home Support – Lanark County to start a second Support Group in Perth.

This will meet at Lanark Lodge on the second Wednesday of every month from 1- 3 p.m. The first meeting was held Oct. 10.

The two open Bereavement Support Groups will be facilitated by dedicated volunteers who have specialized training in grief, psychology, and palliative care, and who have also experienced the loss of a loved one. They bring to the group a wealth of knowledge and experience, deep compassion, and a loving concern. The group sessions will normally begin with a short video or guest speaker, followed by a structured discussion based on the presentation topic for the session. Those present are invited to share their experiences as they are able, or simply to benefit from the presence of

others who are learning to live with their grief.

The Carleton Place Bereavement Walking Group will be coordinated by a volunteer who has experienced the loss of a loved one. Group members may walk as far as they want each month and may choose to either share their grief, or simply walk alongside others. Those who want to continue talking can end the afternoon with a coffee

On Saturday, November 3rd, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena will play host to over 50 women-led businesses from the area. Many vendors are offering special promotions, and the fair provides the opportunity to start your holiday shopping. Admission is free.

As you seek out deals, you can also feast on delicious, reasonably-priced, homemade fare from the lunch café, enter a Vendor Bingo contest to win a $100 shopping spree at Vamos Outdoors in Almonte, bid on over 50 unique items in the silent auction, take pictures in the Yelp photobooth, and have a chance to win our door prize – a complete personal makeover (over $500 value) compliments of Angels Roost Studio & Spa in Beckwith.

All proceeds from the annual event go to support the extensive programs and services offered by Interval House, the local shelter for abused women and children in Lanark County. Each year demand increases for the shelter’s services, and more and more fundraising is needed.

Council, DBA appear headed for coin-only parking meters

EMC News – Smiths Falls town council appears set to keep its coin-only parking meters, and forego any parking kiosks.

The Downtown Business Association presented a report to the town’s committee-ofthe-whole on Monday, Oct. 22, which, “in summary, the DBA is in a position that it wants to retain metered parking in the downtown core,” said Coun.

Sean Pankow.

The DBA said it also wanted to see an increase in parking fee minimums, as well as increased enforcement.

“They were not at all in favour of a kiosk-type of payment,” said Pankow. “(There was) a lot of opposition to kiosks.” The main reason was that, say, a parent with children in tow would have to corral the brood outside the car, go to the kiosk, pay for their parking, only to return to the car, put the ticket on the dashboard, and then leave again, negating any convenience of parking, then paying on the spot.

Elaine Mallory, the town’s director of planning and sus-

tainable growth, was tasked with costing out the proposal for 120 meters on Beckwith Street. About 10 kiosks would have cost the town between $90,000 and $110,000 in installation costs, with the units costing even more if they were adapted to accept bills.

There would be an added cost of between $450 and $500 to maintain a credit card payment option. A coin-only unit, however, would run between $81,000 and $87,000.

Coin-only meters would cost only between $70,000 and $77,000, which includes startup costs; adding a heritage design would cost between $110 and $130 per meter. The meter program has an estimated budget of about $120,000.

“I like the idea of coin only,” said Coun. Lorraine Allen. “I like the idea of a meter and not a kiosk. We’re not big enough for kiosks.”

Allen did suggest that the town do an inventory of its working meters and move them off to side streets like William Street, and replace the old, broken ones on Beckwith Street. Mallory agreed that there were enough old meters

working for this move to be possible.

“We would like to see the mechanical ones eliminated,” said Mallory, with digital ones replacing them.

“Revenue would increase if we have all of our meters working rather than two thirds working,” agreed Coun. Ken Graham.

It was also suggested that parking rates be increased to 25 cents per 15 minute, or 50 cents for a half hour stay.

“I don’t expect change to go away in the next decade,” said Pankow.

“Every second person says it (parking) should be free,” said Graham.

“The ones who don’t want to see meters are not business people,” said Coun. Dawn Quinn.

Citizen Ron Stronski, who attended the meeting, said he would have preferred that such an important meeting was held with Mayor Dennis Staples and Coun. Jay Brennan in attendance.

“I would have liked to have seen all of council debate on this,” said Stronski. “This issue is so important.”

EMC News – A home that cares for teenagers getting ready to give birth has asked Smiths Falls town council to exempt it from paying municipal land taxes next year.

By doing so, it would free up about $300 a month which could then go to young, unwed mothers and their children, said Nichole Anderson, founder of the Susan Shirley Community Outreach Program, during a delegation to Smiths Falls town council’s committee-of-the-whole Monday, Oct. 22.

Town staff agreed to study the issue, and many councillors appeared in favour of the initiative.

“I think that the logical thing to do here is to look at the current policies in place,” said chief administrative officer Steve Fournier, who promised to report back to council on the issue.

“We have an opportunity to provide some support,” said Coun. Sean Pankow.

“It is done in other communities,” said Coun. Ken Graham, pointing to the exemption Carleton Place gives to the Lanark County Interval House.

The Smiths Falls facility, at 109 Elmsley St. N., has an annual budget of about $60,000. During the first year, $10,000 of that budget came from a single church, while the remainder came from other churches and individuals. The teen mothers also pay a $525 fee, which is drawn from their assistance cheque, and Anderson thanked volunteers who donated more than 6,000 hours to the house.

“To date we have not received any government monies,” said Anderson.

The problem with teenage pregnancy does not appear to be abating in Smiths Falls and, in Anderson’s experience, it appears to be getting worse. When she attended Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, there were about four girls who got pregnant during her time there. “So something has happened between then (20 years ago) and now,” said Anderson. “The girls have decided that this is the best they can do. This is an intentional thing, rather than an accident.”

For Anderson, part of the problem is that a generational culture has developed, one in which early pregnancy is the norm.

“We have seen several girls…(for whom) the average age of the grandmothers is 40,” said Anderson. A little boy at the home recently celebrated his first birthday and, when the family gathered in the room, she observed that there were “four generations under the age of 58” present.

Coun. Dawn Quinn revealed to the council that “I was a teen mom and I had two girls. They are doing fine,” she said.

“I think young women are choosing this path because they get a paycheque. I didn’t get a paycheque. There is a whole mindset that needs to be changed,” she said. Young women need to be shown that “you can go further. You can attain a better lifestyle.”

Pankow agreed that “the more children they have, the bigger the pay cheque.”

Anderson’s home has seen about 27 girls since December of 2011, all of whom, save one, have been from Smiths Falls.

As of July, 15 babies have been born to mothers at the house since January, with 22 more babies expected by year’s end. All but one of the girls has been on some form of social assistance.

Some of the girls work and still receive assistance.

“We are trying to take Smiths Falls girls only,” said Anderson, before adding that if a bed is available and it is needed by a girl from Perth, then it will be offered to her.

“The largest socio-economic problem we have here in Smiths Falls…is too many young people becoming parents too soon,” said Anderson, who cited statistics from the 2006 census which showed that Smiths Falls had one of the highest rates of teenage mothers in Ontario.

So, she approached the local health unit for details on live birth rates for Smiths Falls, and saw that for girls aged 15 to 19, the 2010 rate was 50.7 per 1,000 women. The therapeutic abortion rate for the same age group was 18.4 per 1,000 women.

“No matter how you feel about abortions, those are pregnancies that did not have

to happen,” said Anderson.

Some councillors however quizzed Anderson on the methodology of her local statistics. “This is a huge problem,” said Graham, who noted that some of the “socioeconomic influences” at play were not entirely of the town’s doing. He pointed out that 54 per cent of Lanark County’s social housing is located in the town.

“Some of them are socially and economically challenged,” said Graham.

“We get a lot of people who

wouldn’t otherwise be Smiths Falls residents. They are here out of necessity. We get labeled with the social burden that comes along with it.”

Coun. Chris Cummings also noted that most women giving birth in southern Lanark County would go to the Smiths Falls hospital to give birth, so he feared that any teen mother statistics would be skewed with births being recorded as Smiths Falls, but some of the mothers are actually resident in adjacent municipalities.

Ladies hit the streets during Girls Night Out EMC Events - One hundred and twenty women turned out on Thursday, Oct. 18, for the Downtown Business Association’s fourth Girls Night Out event in Downtown Smiths Falls, spending more than $6,000 in downtown businesses.

Doors open at new Best Western Plus

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News – Thursday night the newly renovated Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn and Spa was overflowing, much like the free wine and hors d’oeuvres as the three amigos - Brent Brownlee, Chris Saumure and John Hinton showed off their new digs during an open house on Thursday, Oct. 18.

The partners took a moment with The Perth Courier to share their thoughts as they watched and mingled with the countless guests who came to have a look at the revamped hotel, formerly Codes Mill Inn and Spa. “We are blown away by the response from the public,” said Brownlee. “It was everything we could have hoped for. We are overjoyed to see so many people come out and enjoy themselves.”

The town crier, Brent McLaren welcomed the hundreds of guests who meandered through the inn, complete with spa, salon, fitness room, pool, banquet facilities, cozy rooms and spacious suites – 54 rooms in total.

“We are delighted. This is our second go at Best Western and Perth is the ideal scenario,” Saumure said.

In 2003, the Saumure family sold their Smiths Falls Best Western. In 2010, Best Western asked the family if they were interested in getting

Dawn Quinn of Smiths Falls was in Perth to check out the open house at the new Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn and Spa. The view from one of the smaller rooms overlooking the Tay is one of six in the newly renovated hotel with a balcony. back into the hotel business.

“We have established a management team that is second to none,” Saumure said.

With Pat Wiseman as the general manager, “these people are going to be running the hotel the way it was meant to be run… not on a shoe-string budget like it was run for five

years, but on a proper operating budget.”

Some of the staff members who were interviewed said they were elated in the changes and being part of the new hotel.

For the “wedding fairy” Sandra Gibbon, who has been at the hotel for a few years,

said it is a pleasure to come to work.

“I wonder if I’m dreaming some days. What the new owners have done is amazing.

I’m so proud of this place and watching it grow has been wonderful.”

Brownlee says he’s extremely proud of staff who

have witnessed the changes.

“We give them (the staff) accolades because they did the best job they possibly could (have),” said Brownlee.

“Now they have proper training that Best Western brings along; we’ve got a beautiful asset – just an absolutely gorgeous facility; they can’t help but be proud as we are with how it’s turned out.”

It’s the first time for Hinton to be involved in a project of this magnitude with other partners. Was he nervous jumping on board?

“No really,” Hinton said, who had Saumure do some renovations on his Nissan car dealership in Smiths Falls.

“We were totally happy and satisfied with that estimation.

I was very comfortable with (Saumure) and felt very comfortable to come along with these guys… and still am.”

Saumure said the project finished on time, but was slightly over budget… however he didn’t reveal the numbers. “We are not a publicly traded company, so we are not going to disclose that information.”

The men also had high praise for the women in their lives and the parts they played in making this project such a success.

Brownlee said he has two women in his life he wanted to thank – his mother and (business) partner, Avis, and his wife Kim, “who are great

support.”

Hinton said he also has two women to thank – “My wife Donna and my daughter Tanya have been instrumental in making key decisions as we were going along.”

Saumure added: “I have three girls – my mother-inlaw lives in the basement of our house and my wife lives there and the dog… we have two golden retrievers: one male and one female.

“The male was starting to show some independence so my wife had him neutered.

So I have learned my lesson quite well. I march to a different drummer now. I say please and thank you a lot more,” he said with a smile, while his partners laughed.

“We have had great support from the town of Perth,” Brownlee added. “People have explained to us how critical this hotel is to the future of tourism in Perth and I don’t think we knew that going in.”

But they do now.

Mayor John Fenik knows how important the facility is for the town and for those who make Perth their destination.

“This is a top notch facility and there is a lot of love and care and pride in this location and in the inn. It’s more reflective of the town and its quality heritage and it will provide those who visit with an exceptional Perth experience.”

Altercation leads to stabbing of man threats, and mischief under $5,000; a second 27 year-old of Perth has been charged with aggravated assault, assault, mischief under $5,000 and breach of probation; a third 27 year-old man of Smiths Falls was charged with aggravated assault and mischief. All three males were held in custody pending bail hearings.

The victim has been treated and released from hospital.

The allegations have not been proven in court.

Town council in brief EMC News – The following information comes from the regular council session held Monday, Oct. 22, 2012.

Increase to borrowing Kerry Costello, director of corporate services, asked for an increase in borrowing. In December of 2011, town council voted in favour of borrowing $1.5 million for the purchase and renovation of a building. Costello asked for the loan amount to be increased to $2.3 million through a bylaw amendment.

“We can’t use it out of cash flow,” said Costello. “We are committed, we have to borrow.”

Coun. Chris Cummings added that he would rather not have to borrow the amount, but that, with cost overruns, they were in a position where the town had no other choice.

Sewer Realigning Elaine Mallory, director of administrative and planning services, brought council up to date on the sewer re-aligning project along Beckwith Street and a portion of Main Street East.

“It’s very important and significant work,” said Mallory, who added that the project was $12,000 over budget. Council was told work crews are having to contend with grease blockages and root intrusions, but re-lining the sewers in those areas will make them structurally safer.

However, only one tender was received for the project.

“This is pretty late in the year to be doing this type of work,” said Coun. Ken Graham, who added that the tenders went out late, “so that’s why we didn’t get that many bids.”

It was noted that at least three major companies would have been likely interested in the project, but that they are busy on other projects.

Coun. Sean Pankow added that while the project was already over budget, “one break on Beckwith Street or Main Street and we would have been glad to have spent the extra $12,000. That’s probably 50 years of peace of mind in there.”

The Municipalities of Beckwith, Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth, Smiths Falls Tay Valley ask you to CALL 9-1-1.

In addition to recognizing the archivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10th anniversary, Douglas Bell presented his special donation of a 189-year-old travel trunk complete with original documents belonging to the original owner.

Twenty years ago, when Allen James passed away, the truck was given to Bell for safe keeping. As a person with great interest in Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, the James family felt that Bell would ensure the trunk was taken care of.

Take care of it, he did. Bell designed and constructed a conservation box made from Lexan to ensure it stayed in the

condition he received it. Having been what he called merely â&#x20AC;&#x153;the keeperâ&#x20AC;? of the trunk and not the owner, he felt that it was time to pass the trunk on to someone else who would take on the job.

The trunk was unveiled and officially received by Marilyn Smedden, chair of Lanark Archives before opening the exhibit up to the attendees to view up close.

EMC News - Archives Lanark celebrated its 10th anniversary of operation Oct. 20, with an event held at the Ferguson Falls Community Hall. Attendees of the event were treated to live music by Memory Lane as they were given lots of time to examine sample documents, books and old editions of The Perth Courier, as well as view the displays that Archives Lanark had made for the Lanark County Plowing Match earlier this year.

Lanark County Warden, John Gemmill and Deputy Reeve of Drummond North Elmsley Gale Code spoke for a few minutes expressing their gratitude and appreciation for the hard work of volunteers and board members that run Archives Lanark.

Gemmill explained that budgets are tight, but that the current yearly grant given to the archives by Lanark County will continue and noted that the history of our region needs to be preserved and made available to future generations.

Code also expressed her appreciation for the preservation of our history and commented on the funding the archives receives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rob Peter to pay Paul, but the grant monies they currently receive will continue. It is not a lot of money, but we want to encourage them

Although the organization receives some support from the county, they are trying to find new ways to raise funds to expand their services. One of these new ways comes in the form of selling professionally and quality bound historical rural township school books that have been assembled with elementary school histories and stories from all of the townships in Lanark County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The books sell almost as fast as we get them printed just by word of mouth,â&#x20AC;? said Frances Rathwell, a board member and volunteer at Archives Lanark.

Rathwell, along with Irene Spence and Eleanor Henderson, took on the massive task of collecting and assembling the contents for these books beginning back in 2007. Asking for donations of photographs, records and stories from the public, they have currently created oneinch-thick, hardcover books for Darling/Lavant, North Elmsley, Dalhousie, Beckwith and Lanark Twp, although some are in

the process of reprinting due to high demand.

The townships of Ramsey, Drummond and Pakenham will be coming for sale in the coming months as well. Anyone interested in visiting to see the trunk donated by Bell, purchasing books or accessing archives, can visit their website for more information at www.globalgenealogy.com/archiveslanark

EMC News - In one day, the show surpassed last year, its inaugural season, for attendance.

The Rideau Lakes Arts Association hosted its fall show and sale last weekend where close to 100 people made the trip to the North Crosby Community Hall on Saturday alone.

“It’s been a great day so far,” said Sarah Hale, a member from Arden, Ont., who specializes in Batki – a type of wax artwork. “We have had more visitors today than we had at last year’s fall show.”

The RLAA has art shows through the year, but last year was the first time for a fall show. Normally, work by the group is on display at Westport festivals throughout the summer.

“We’d have more people showing their work if we had larger space,” said Jackie Coldrey of Smiths Falls, who is a member of the Smiths Falls Arts and Culture Council as well as RLAA. She is active in many groups and organizations and says she enjoys it a lot. Her medium of choice is watercolour.

“I love the watercolour,” she said. “It’s my first love. I enjoy (painting) flowers.”

Just recently, Coldrey said she broke into acrylics, “but I’m finding that a bit tough.”

The group offers a gift store of sorts where members can display various items for sale like cards, Christmas ornaments, books, silk scarves to name a few.

The art association is a chance for members to en-

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 24, 1912 The one hundred and first anniversary of the organization of the First Presbyterian Church Sunday School at Brockville, the oldest in Ontario, was fittingly celebrated by the congregation on Sunday.

Miss Mary E. Chalmers, daughter of Mr. James C. Chalmers, McGill street, has been engaged as soloist in the First Baptist Church, Ottawa, and begun her work there last Sunday.

J. Mackenzie, a C.N.R. contractor engaged near Forfar had a narrow escape from death by poisoning on Saturday. He was going to Toronto and was traveling on the Brockville and Westport train and when near Athens he took what he supposed was a bronchial tablet from his pocket and swallowed it.

He immediately became very ill and on arrival at Athens he left the train and a physician was called.

Then it was discovered that it was a bichloride of mercury tablet he had swallowed.

50 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 25, 1962 Upwards of 2, 000 spectators were on hand at the Smiths Falls Airport on Sunday afternoon for the official opening of the local Flying Club combined with the first annual Air Show.

C.W. Warner and J.I. Brennagh were presented with framed scrolls from the Canadian Cancer Society on Monday night in recognition of their services over the years for the Society and particularly for their efforts in the annual campaigns. The awards were made during the annual meeting of the local branch held at the Legion Hall.

There are no new increases in the cost of erecting the 14-room Composite Technical School in Smiths Falls. This was explained by Collegiate Board secretary-treasurer J.W. McCue on Monday in reply to queries from several citizens who had seen reports to the contrary in daily newspapers on Saturday.

25 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 28, 1987 Town council voted unanimously Friday afternoon at a special meeting to add $100, 000 to the coffers of the Rideau Canal Museum. Council had delayed the third and final reading of a bylaw last Monday night at its regular bi-monthly meeting to obtain some public input.

A bevy of beauties invaded Toronto this week to participate in the Miss Canada Pageant 1988. There were blondes and brunettes and tall girls and short ones but the shortest of all was Smiths Falls own, Sherry Turcotte.

There will be a Smiths Falls flavour to the national anthem Saturday at Maple Leaf Gardens when the Toronto Marlies take to the ice. Laurie Brennan, a second-year student at Seneca College in Willowdale will be belting out O Canada before the scheduled Ontario Hockey League contest.

10 YEARS AGO –OCTOBER 23, 2002 It’s not our fault! That was the battle cry of embattled Smiths Falls councillors Monday night as they tried to deflect a seemingly growing sentiment that local officials didn’t do enough to convince school board trustees to keep the high school at its current location.

The members of the Third Field Regiment engineers, out of Ottawa, were kept busy Oct. 18, 19 and 20, at the Smiths Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. Thirty-three officers from Canada’s Armed Forces, both men and women, worked through some inclement weather to lay down close to 400 feet of track on the museum property. The project was part of a training exercise and, best of all for the museum, came with no price tag.

Even though the doors have been open to the public since the end of September, Oct. 19 marked the official opening of the newly-restored Smiths Falls Public Library.

Donor fatigue plagues social service agencies EMC Editorial – Buddy, can you spare a dime?

In not quite the same tone or circumstance, but certainly with the same meaning, nonprofit agencies across the county are hurting – big time.

And everyone seems to have their hand out.

Former Mississippi Mills town councilor Brenda Hurrle, as she so often does, hit the nail on the head earlier this month, when she addressed Tay Valley Township council. That evening, she was there representing Lanark County Interval House, but she may very well have been representing anyone from the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) to Crime Stoppers, and been speaking to pretty much any council in the county.

Hurrle noted that she understood that governments and average citizens were feeling “donor fatigue,” about constant requests for money from very deserving groups.

Hurrle was there asking for $3,000 from the township to help fill a $59,000 deficit Interval House is facing this year after provincial government cutbacks. DrummondNorth Elmsley-based LAWS is also in danger of closing, and Crime Stoppers, which is also seeking municipal funding, admitted in a presentation in Beckwith Township this month that a crime tip payout of, say, $1,000 would

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says be enough to wipe it out.

People are being told not to look to Queen’s Park. They’re tapped out, with debt rates that look set to give places like California a run for their money, so to speak.

On top of these local concerns, school kids are already gearing up to help the needy in faraway places. Students from Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place and St. John’s Catholic High School in Perth will probably be heading out on another humanitarian trip to Latin America this March break, and students at Glen Tay Public School are entering their sixth year of helping starving villagers in Guatemala with schooling, stoves and provisions.

Now, who can be against helping starving Mayan villages in Guatemala or giving respite to Haitian migrant workers? While these are noble trips, and the school boards are to be commended for teaching the young to care for others, to lift the plight of their brothers, should charity not begin at home?

The Guatemalan government simply does not seem to care about the plight of the

Mayans and the more international aid agencies go in to help, it unintentionally gets the government down there off the hook. Why help your own people if outsiders are doing it for you?

Groups like World Vision appear to be hearing about this so, in a recent mailing, they told their donors that they could sponsor a Canadian family if they would like. A nice option to have, but equally sad at the same time.

So, who deserves our money?

In his satire America (The Book): A Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction (2004), comedian Jon Stewart and his band of merry Daily Show writers, compiled a list of who trumps who in politically correct politics. For example, white woman trumps white man, but black man trumps white woman – a foreshadowing of sorts of the Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama showdown to come for the Democratic nomination four years later.

But while that triage list, if you will, was made in satirical jest, just look on Facebook to see the comments people are making about who deserves

more help than whom.

Who can say no to abused women and their children?

But then, who can say no to dogs and cats who have also been abused?

Don’t people with special needs deserve a helping hand?

And we all want to catch the bad guys, and reward people who do the right thing.

You can’t help all of them.

And you can’t help none of them.

In his 2011 book, Seven Events That Made America America, Larry Schweikart, a professor of history at the University of Dayton in Ohio, pointed to a historical story beloved by conservatives and libertarians alike, of the Johnstown Flood of 1889 in Pennsylvania. Schweikart noted that there was little, if any, government involvement in providing relief. The people did very well, thank you very much, without any help from even the municipal government – all the mayor asked was that the businessmen who took over relief efforts keep him and members of council abreast of what they were up to. The Pennsylvania National Guard was called in, eventually, but they were only used to keep the peace. But today, even conservative rock stars like Margaret Thatcher concede that the government cannot completely abdicate any See DONOR page SF10

New classroom dedicated to Sisters of Providence

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News - The Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul united at the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital on Oct. 18 for a dedication ceremony in their honour.

The Sisters of Providence Classroom was unveiled in the administration wing in front of a dozen staff members at the hospital.

Linda Bisonette, acting president and CAO of the hospital, gave a brief history on the sisters and how they came to Smiths Falls.

“In 1904 the mayor had a public emergency on his hand with small pox,” she said. “There were no health care providers in the area.

He called the Sisters of Kingston; first came two, then four. Initially they were working through the church and visiting people in their homes; and the thought was, if we had a little space the people could come to us and we would be able to treat more people more quickly.”

That was the beginning of the St. Francis General Hospital.

“As we moved through the years, we had additional wings built in 1912, then in the 1950s, and the front wing in 1969,” Bisonette said.

“When I started here in 1973 as a student, we were well treated as students.

The sisters were acting in management positions in those days and most importantly with us as we would experience our first death and it was a pretty big deal for us – for anyone – and the sisters always came and helped us through that process. There is a long history that I can’t even do justice to, but we are so thrilled to have you here today. It is our pleasure to recognize this room in your honour.”

“We had a lot of fun here,” said Sister Sheila Brady, who was born and raised in Perth, attending St. John Catholic High School.

She then went to Sisters of Providence for religious teachings, before entering nursing school to obtain her degree. She was in Quebec for a time, moved out west before coming back to Smiths Falls to work at the hospital.

“We had a rink at the back that the maintenance man took care of in the winter,” she recalled. “One of the nurses came out and said ‘come quick; there’s a lady having a baby and we can’t get the doctor’ so I came racing in on my skates, put a pair of gloves on and delivered a baby.”

It may have been the only baby delivered with a sister in ice skates, said one guest in attendance as they broke into applause.

Brady’s calling is now working with prison inmates in Kingston. “I love it,” she says. “It’s where I’m supposed to be.”

Sister Marlene Schuster came to Smiths Falls to work at the Rideau Regional Centre in 1981. “I visited the kids and was doing religious teaching, first communion and confirmation… I got them involved.

I was there until it closed in 2009.”

She also visited homes as assistant in the parish at St. Francis church.

“It’s really lovely here; it’s a kind and caring community,” she said. “I want to thank all the staff who were working here when I came in 1981 when I stayed at the hospital,” said Schuster. “I really enjoyed working here. You have all been so kind; it’s been a great place to be and work.”

Sister Gayle Desarmia expressed gratitude on behalf of those who couldn’t be in attendance at the ded-

ication ceremony.

“When our leadership received word about this dedication, we were really touched,” said Desarmia.

“We much appreciate the gesture and we will have stories to tell the other sisters who weren’t able to make the trip.”

age list, nor should there be.

Governments, fundraising groups like the Civitan Club, and individuals will have to look within their own hearts and ask themselves what is of value to them, and donate accordingly. Sadly, there may be winners and losers in this.

There is an old tale of a man who was walking by a beach one morning. A large tide had come in that night, and hundreds of fish were washed

up on the shore, floundering on the sand. The man started picking fish up and throwing them back into the water.

Another man stopped by and told him that his efforts were fruitless. “You can’t possibly throw them all into the water,” the second man said. As the first man threw another fish into the waters, he replied, “I know. But my actions just meant the world to that one fish.”

Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Laboratory receives accreditation again successfully completed a formal review of competence through the Quality Management Program –Laboratory Services.

The Laboratories were assessed on 476 standards in each discipline (hematology, biochemistry, immunohematology, immunology and microbiology) and the hospital will be awarded with four year certificate which is the highest award possible.

Playing a crucial role in patient safety, Ontario Laboratory

Accreditation (OLA) assesses the ability of a laboratory to perform the scope of testing for which it is licensed.

This formal recognition of competence is designed to meet the ISO 15189 standards.

These standards augmented with international standards for safety and point-of-care testing; national standards for blood safety; government regulation; and generally accepted principles of good practice.

“We are extremely fortu-

nate to have such a dedicated, highly skilled and hard-working team in our laboratories,” stated Bisonette and, “this result clearly demonstrates the exemplary efforts of the entire team!”

Physicians need to be able to count on the accuracy of test results because approximately 85 per cent of decisions about diagnosis and treatment are based on laboratory findings.

Dr. Peter Roney, Chief of Staff, commended the personnel of the hospital laboratories

stating that, “to have an effective laboratory in place provides an important diagnostic tool for both the patient and physician. I am pleased with the outcome of this rigorous survey.”

The Ontario Laboratory Accreditation (OLA) system is based on a peer review assessment wherein a multitude of standards are assessed. The last accreditation survey was conducted in 2008 resulting in a full accreditation at that time.

About PSFDH: The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (the “Hospital”) is a fully accredited 97-bed acute care health care organization located on two state-of-the-art sites. The hospital is situated in the heart of the Rideau Canal region and proudly provides health services to more than 44,000 people in the surrounding communities.

My Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent finale now set for Nov. 2 community will be able to meet and see the semifinalists.

The votes from online will be combined with the celebrity judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choices to select the final five.â&#x20AC;?

Like last year, the final five will return to the stage for one more performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the audience to select the winner of MTGT for 2012,â&#x20AC;? said Bindhardt, â&#x20AC;&#x153;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!â&#x20AC;?

The 15 semi-finalists are (listed in random order!): duet Amanda Reside & Phillippa MacDonald, Zach Dods AKA DjFrOsT, dancer Lauren Mendham, singer Alexander Cox, a trio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hopping Fences (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 Satinka Schilling, singer Miranda Wilson, acoustic guitarist Isaiah Kafrissen, and the Jovian Sound Trio (Elizabeth Pierman, Tom

Coyne, & Jono Townsend). â&#x20AC;&#x153;These performers will provide the audience with a tough choice and any one of these acts could be number one!â&#x20AC;? according to Bindhardt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very fortunate this year to have a special guest join us during the time it takes to count the ballots,â&#x20AC;? commented Scantlebury, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as Perth singer Kasha Lehovich, who came third last year, will be back to entertain the audience. It will all add-up to a great show that we are planning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I know that Artistic Director Bindhardt is planning a special evening for everyone at the Mason Theatre.

Along with Kasha, we will have other special guests, and the whole evening will be hosted by Lanarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Brian Perkin of Lake 88. He will be joined on-stage by Donna Stratton from YAK, the Perth Youth Centre, and a guest appearance by last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Producer/Host, and the originator of MTGT, Jeff Gourgon.â&#x20AC;?

When the party was coming to an end the Grade 9s also got to enjoy some free pizza.

The night continued with the first dance of the year. It started at 7 p.m. and ended at 10 p.m. Many students from all grades showed up and had a great time! Inside were tons of lights and good music.

Smiths Falls DBA moves ahead with festival plans EMC News - The Smiths Falls Downtown Business Association (DBA) will be moving forward with a new project in 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the creation of a new and exciting festival to be held on June 22, 2013 in downtown Smiths Falls.

The new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy Living Festivalâ&#x20AC;? will feature a day of fun-filled health and fitness oriented activities.

Visitors to the festival will be given the opportunity to try out a 24 foot high rock climbing wall, learn a martial art, explore healthy living informational booths or shop for the perfect workout gear.

The Healthy Living Festival will have something for every age, with activities and competitions designed for toddlers and preschoolers all the way to teenagers and adults.

Other recent projects undertaken by the DBA include the recent purchase of new garbage and recycling cans and benches for the downtown core and a partnership with the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce to

provide free WiFi downtown.

With funding provided by Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) the DBA and Chamber will be working together on a pilot project to create a WiFi hotspot downtown Smiths Falls.

With such exciting opportunities and projects looming in 2013 the DBA is currently on the lookout for volunteers to help make downtown Smiths Falls an exciting place to be.

Volunteers could be asked to participate in festival planning and/or support on the day of the event. This is a great opportunity for local businesses and residents to step forward and work together to create a vibrant community in downtown Smiths Falls.

For more information about the DBA or to volunteer, please contact the DBA Coordinator, Amy Hogue, at 613-283-4124 ext. 1114 or email at dba@smithsfalls.ca.

This dance featured something new that the high school has not had in many years, it included music videos! DJ Johnny Five projected videos on the wall for all the students to see. They got to dance along with Michael Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit song "Thriller" and many other hits. The night was a success and the students canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the next one.

On Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012,

the Jr. Football team challenged the Notre Dame team at an away game. The RedHawks played their hardest and managed to pull off a 32-6 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we are winning I am having fun, so on Tuesday I had lots of fun,â&#x20AC;? said Jacob Ready, the outside linebacker.

The team now has five wins and only two losses so far this season. The team has been working harder than ever and it is paying off. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to start the season and we are rooting for the boys the whole way.

Good job RedHawks!

Perth’s 911 fire dispatch to move to Smiths Falls in January desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Perth’s 911 fire dispatch will likely be moving to Smiths Falls staring Jan. 8, 2013.

Chief Pat Capello reported to the Perth Police Services Board (PSB) meeting on Thursday, Oct. 11 that his department had been in talks with Bell Canada for nearly two years about making the Perth Police Service compliant with new dispatch technology that will be brought in next year. But now that the service will be wound down in favour of the OPP, Bell has

agreed to carry Perth under its existing, older technology for the first quarter of 2013.

Otherwise, noted Capello, it would cost about $30,000 to bring Perth’s soon-to-be closed dispatch officer on Rogers Road up to standard, for a matter of months.

“Bell needs 85 days to do a transfer,” said Capello during a report to the PSB in the town council chambers. The earliest date, taking in to account Christmas and New Year’s holidays, would be Jan. 8, 2013.

“I think that is a wise move,” said Mayor John Fe-

nik, who added that it should be made clear that Perth’s fire calls were now to be handled by the county fire service, where all of the county fire calls are handled.

Loud vehicles At the Aug. 28 committeeof-the-whole meeting, council passed a resolution calling on Perth police to take action on vehicles with loud exhausts, especially in the downtown core.

“Back on Aug. 10, there was a notification that went out to our officers,” said Capello. “They were apprised

of that. They are always aware of noisy vehicles. I don’t think it needed to go to the level of a (council) motion… (Just) call us. We would be glad to deal with that.”

Fenik told Capello that he understood his position, but noted that “any member of council can bring forward any motion they want” and then have it voted on, so long as there is a seconder to bring it to the floor for a vote.

“The motion focuses on this being a citizen’s concern,” said Fenik, and that, rather than the police receiving several separate calls

First Nations news comes to SFDCI EMC News - Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) hosted a First Nations college and university presentation last week in the school’s Learning Commons providing students who are of aboriginal heritage the opportunity to learn about postsecondary opportunities.

Representatives from McMaster University, Queen’s University, University of Ottawa, Algoma University, Ryerson University, Lakehead University, York University, University of Guelph, Laurentian University, Georgian College, Humber College and Canadore College hosted booths with information about admissions, program offerings, athletics, accommodations, and more.

The format was a fair-style presentation that allowed students the opportunity to explore pathways based on their interests.

Melody Markle, Aboriginal Admissions/Liaison Officer from Ryerson said the same group of representatives spends about 12 weeks each fall travelling and hosting presentations as a collective at schools in and around Ontario, Quebec, and James Bay. The group is part of the Aboriginal Post-Secondary Information Program (APSIP), which has a mandate to: “Highlight the diverse opportunities available to Aboriginal learners interested in postsecondary education.”

APSIP has presented to the eastern region students for a

number of years, but this is the first year that the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) has expanded its partnership to cover the entire board.

“We usually see about 100200 students per week, and it’s growing,” Markle said.

“We work together to set up each student to be successful in any school, not just our school. We do recruitment a little differently.”

Markle noted the importance of the aboriginal selfidentification process.

“We tell students: Be proud of who you are,” she said.

Bill Montgomery, UCDSB program resource teacher, said he believes that by the postsecondary recruiters working together, all students win.

“The nice thing is that when they find out what program or career path a student is interested in, they will point them in the right direction, even if it isn’t to a program in their particular school,” he said.

A number of students were pleased with the information they received at the presentation.

“They’ve shown us that they care about our futures,” said Patrick Patriquin, Grade 12.

“It’s great for aboriginal students,” said Cassandra Parks, Grade 12. “I’ve learned that different schools have different dramatic arts programs.

Some are more intense than others. This has made my college and university perspective higher than it was before.

from the public, they could be bundled into an action request from town council.

Capello also noted that now would be the time of year that he would start working on next year’s police budget but, considering that the service is to be wound down, he was uncertain whether to draft a full budget, a budget for half the year, or any budget at all.

“We will have a budget that will be brought down by the

OPP, but we will say what type of service we want,” said Fenik.

“Is there something that the board is looking for me to do?” asked Capello.

“I assume it is business as usual,” Deputy Mayor John Gemmell told Capello.

Fenik and Capello agreed to meet later to discuss the matter.

Perth Predators come together Girls AA team features several players from Smiths Falls, hosts official home opener this Saturday

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pizza, pop, birthday cakeâ&#x20AC;Ś some things are just better with new friends.

The Perth Predators Midget AA girls hockey has really started to gel and they have only just begun their 20-game, 2012-13 Ottawa District Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hockey League schedule.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time a competitive girls team has hit the ice in more than a decade.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the first time many of these girls have played together as a team.

But is hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come together without a shaky start.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through a lot already â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including watching their head coach, Curtis Wright, suffer a heart attack after a game Oct. 2. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 45. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he was deadâ&#x20AC;Ś he looked like he was dead,â&#x20AC;? said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GM Derrick Benda after practice Saturday night at the Perth arena.

The team was celebrating mate Brittany Tierneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15th birthday with pizza and cake.

Wright says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeling like a 20-year-old now since two stents were put into his chest that night. He was out for four days while recuperating at the Ottawa Heart Institute, and returned to the ice full tilt Oct. 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to get back out here

(to the arena) for them,â&#x20AC;? he said, as he watched the girls enjoy their post-practice party.

The team is comprised of girls from Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Ottawa and even Syracuse and Pembroke. There are a handful of girls from the former Smiths Falls team that won back-toback provincial gold medals under the direction of Wright who gives Benda the credit for putting together this new team.

Benda says the girls â&#x20AC;&#x153;just came to us.â&#x20AC;? It was getting to the wire and when tryouts werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that successful, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I prayed the girls would come outâ&#x20AC;Ś and they did,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He received a two-week extension from the Perth Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hockey Association, and that resulted in a second life for the new Predators hockey club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They laughed when they said I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this in Perth,â&#x20AC;? Benda said.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laughing now?

The girls have a pretty impressive record, led by sharpshooter, Zoe Domitrovic of Kanata. She scored twice in their 3-0 win over Outaouais last week, and once in their 3-1 win over Russell.

Annie Patrice of Nepean chalked up the shutout victory, while Chenoa Saumure of Smiths Falls was in nets in the Russell victory. Other

goal scorers were Emma McFarlane of Nepean, Hailey Wilson of Kanata with a pair against Russell.

Prior to their Oct. 16 game, Brian Hart, head scout for the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey league, who is also a motivational speaker, gave the girls a little pep talk.

Wright says the Predators game plan comes down to three basic rules: education is first and foremost, then family, then hockey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want them to have fun, get an education and hopefully some hockey scholarships,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have given these girls a home and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guarantee.â&#x20AC;?

Benda agreed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to build and strengthen girls hockey in Perth by bringing higher caliber players in to teach and train the younger girls.â&#x20AC;?

In their most recent game, the girls held off Cornwall Sunday, Oct. 21 in a no-score deadlock. Saumure was in nets.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full steam ahead now as the team gears up for their official home opener on Saturday, Oct. 27, and they want the arena filled to capacity, as the Predators will entertain Carleton Place at 8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be showcasing our new jerseys; having draws for some great prizes, and giving away

Martin posts back-to-back shutouts as Bears rout Jr. Sens, Hawks

By STAFF

EMC Sports – The first place Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears…has a nice ring to it. And this past weekend, the club solidified its hold on top spot in the Central Canada Hockey League with back-to-back shutout wins at

home over the Ottawa Jr. Senators and on the road against the Hawkesbury Hawks.

Goalie Patrick Martin who, by his own admission, had been slumping the previous couple of weeks since being named the league’s top goal-

Bears acquire Costello from Hawks EMC Sports – The Smiths Falls Bears have brought Lombardy’s Brett Costello home.

The 19-year-old was acquired from the Hawkesbury Hawks in a trade last Thursday.

Costello, who played much of his minor hockey with the Smiths Falls Minor Hockey Association before moving up to the Rideau-St. Lawrence AA program, was drafted in the first round of the 2009 Jr. A draft by the Nepean Raiders.

He saw his first action in the league with the Kemptville 73’s early last season

before being dealt to the Hawks.

He had a solid year in Hawkesbury, collecting 20 points in 48 games during the season. He also had a goal and assist in nine playoff games. The talented forward had one goal in seven games with the Hawks so far in 2012.

At six feet and 188 lbs., Costello is expected to bring some size and grit to the firstplace Bears.

He arrived in time to suit up in Friday’s game against the Ottawa Jr. Senators.

Bears 6 Hawks 0 At Hawkesbury Sunday night, the Bears followed a similar story line – hot goaltending and solid special teams play – in posting their second consecutive shutout.

Again, after a scoreless opening 20 minutes, Nic Marchand put the Bears ahead with a power play goal at the 4:40 mark of the second. He added his second of the game

OVERTIME: • After struggling for several weeks, Martin has re-emerged just in time for the Bears. His back-to-back shutouts allowed his goals against average to drop almost a full goal to 3.50. And his save percentage, which had plunged to .871, has jumped back close to the .900 mark. He suddenly leads the league in shutouts (several other goalies have one each) and is tied for the league lead for wins with eight.

• Their impressive wins over the weekend have propelled the Bears back into the CJHL top 20. They are now ranked 18th among all Jr. A clubs.

• Bears have a pair of games coming, starting tonight in Cornwall against the Colts.

Friday, they play host to the Cumberland Grads (7:30 p.m. at the Memorial Community Centre), then travel to Kemptville for a Sunday-night tilt with the struggling 73’s at the North Grenville Municipal Centre.

(ninth of the season) at 9:27, from Chris Maniccia and Yannick Crete. And just 27 later, winger Ryan Eardley connected on his third goal of the season, assisted by Cole Allard and Daniele Disipio, to put the visitors up by three.

Bears then asserted themselves in the third, outshooting the Hawks 17-7 and putting the game away with three more goals from Disipio (12:25), Crete (13:06) and Peter Soligo (15:56).

Again, Martin emerged with the top star honour, kicking out all 32 shots he faced on the night. Marchand was named star number two for his threepoint game (two goals and assist) while Maniccia’s pair of assists earned him the third star.

Bears’ power play was sharper, going 2 for 8 with the man advantage. Penalty-killing units were perfect again, keeping the Hawks off the scoresheet on their four power play chances.

McLaren, Daniele Disipio and Ryan Eardley.

In the third, Bears’ forward Adam Abu-Ali squared off with Stephen Inman of the Jr. Senators and scored a take-down of the Ottawa defenceman to the delight of the crowd.

Bears’ special teams won the night as well. Backed by their goaltender’s stellar play, they kept the Sens off the scoresheet on their nine power play opportunities. Smiths Falls’ own power play, which has struggled of late, did manage one key goal on 11 chances.

Brett Costello of Lombardy made his Bears’ debut on Friday against the Ottawa Jr. Senators.

tender for the month of September, showed why he is a key piece to any championship aspirations. He turned in two of his best performances of the season in the 3-0 and 6-0 wins Friday and Sunday.

The Bears, now 12-5-0-1, remain atop the CCHL standings with 25 points heading into action on Tuesday. They are one point ahead of Yzerman Division leading Pembroke Lumber Kings and two up on Robinson Division rival Carleton Place Canadians.

In front of close 700 boisterous fans at the Memorial Community Centre Friday night, the Bears rode Martin’s hot hand to a well-earned win.

Yannick Crete scored shorthanded in the second for a 1-0 lead Friday night against Ottawa. Chris Maniccia assisted on the play.

Michael Buonincontri and Nic Marchand had the other two markers for the Bears with assists coming from Peter Soligo, Ryan McCaughan, Connor

He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb.

So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, ‘Peace be thine’.

It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

If tears could build a stairway And memories a lane We’d walk right up to heaven And bring you home again.

Forever in our hearts, always in our prayers.

PHILIPS, Neil R. - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and poppa who passed away October 26, 2007.

Your end came fast and sudden, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we realized, And only God knows why.

The things we felt so deeply, Are the hardest things to say, But we, your family, loved you, In a very special way.

A golden heart stopped beating.

Two busy hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

They say memories are golden, Well, that may be true, But we never wanted memories, We only wanted you.

If tears could build a stairway, And heartaches make a lane, We’d walk a path to heaven And bring you home again.

Our family chain was broken And nothing is the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Greatly missed and very deeply loved Love your wife Karen, sons Mark and Linda, Micheal and Stacey, Geoffrey and Jessica, grandchildren Brandon, Emily, Reese, Alex, Nathan, Taylor, Avery, Natasha and Hunter.

We love you Poppa.

AS AN OAK TREE In memory of Douglas Schonauer As we reflect now upon your life, You are seen as the symbol of an Oak tree, As it is one of the strongest there are, You are one of the strongest we know.

You have many strengths Love, faith, spirited Determined, brilliance, Humour, and so many more.

As your life has left us a canopy, Created by all the days of your life, good and bad.

We rest under the protection and shade of your branches, Leaving all the memories, stories and wisdom.

Never to be forgotten...

We will listen for you in a different way, Just as you will look over us in a new way.

As your qualities increase in heaven, We will continue to listen, love and grow from you.

As our family continues to grow Under your branches, You will always be...

As an oak tree.

Sadly missed by sister Pat BOND, Christopher- In loving memory of our cherished son and brother who left us so suddenly two years ago, October 29th, 2010.

They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No one knows how many times we’ve broken down and cried.

Chris we want to tell you, so there won’t be any doubt, You’re so special to think of That is so hard to live without.

We will miss and love you forever Mom, Dad, Phil, Stephanie and Mark BRYAN - In memory of Marie Elizabeth February 28th, 1932 -October 31, 2009 In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother You’re not forgotten, Mother dear, Nor ever shall you be As long as life and memory last, We will remember thee.

No one knows the silent heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that’s borne in silence For the one we loved so well.

We miss you and love you.

Flo, Evert and family

EMON, Ruth- In loving memory of my dear daughter who passed away October 17, 2007.

If roses grow in heaven Lord Please pick a bunch for me Place them in my daughter’s arms, And tell her they’re from me.

Tell her I love her and miss her, And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek, And hold her for a while.

Because remembering her is easy, I do it everyday.

But there is an ache within my heart That will never go away.

Your presence I miss, Your memory I treasure.

Loving you always, Forgetting you never.

Forever loved and always in my heart, Mom EMON, Ruth-In loving memory of our dear sister, who passed away October 17, 2007.

To hear your voice Ruth To see your smile, To sit and talk with you a while, To be together in the same old way Would be our dearest wish today.

We never ask for miracles But today, just “one” would do To see our front door open and our dearest Ruth walk through.

To those who have a sister Love her while you may because we wish with all our hearts our sister was here today.

Lovingly remembered and greatly missed Earl and Elaine.

SMITHSON, Russell In loving memory of a loving husband, father and grandfather, Who passed away October 25, 2008 It is hard to believe it has been 4 year’s Gone is the face we loved so dear.

Silent is the voice we loved to hear.

Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember he who was here Now gone away and just as dear.

Please give our son Eugene a hug for me and tell him also we love him dear.

Lovingly remembered by your Wife, Ann and your surviving children Howard, Eunice, Lisa, Jeff, and your Grandchildren

McINNES, John Clifford 10 years, 27 Oct 2002, and yet it seems like only yesterday.

We know a smile we would love to see A loving face so dear We know a hand we would love to hold A voice we long to hear We know a heart thoughtful and true We know them all, because we loved you In God’s garden up above Stands a rose we dearly loved He stands with petals open wide Watered by the tears that we cry His fragrance fills our lives each day Locked in our hearts forever to stay They say it’s a beautiful journey From the old world to the new Someday we’ll make that journey Which will lead us straight to you And when we reach that garden In which there is no pain We’ll put our arms around you And never part again Missed greatly by brothers Donald and Adam and stepmom Rosetta McInnes WRIGHT, Lloyd In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, who passed away October 29, 2011.

We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new, We thought about you yesterday And days before that too.

We think of you in silence We often speak your name, All we have are memories And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part God has you in His keeping We have you in our hearts.

Sadly missed

Executive Director of the Ottawa Safety Council receives Diamond Jubilee Medal EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ottawa Safety Council is pleased to announce that its Executive Director, Sophia Hanafi, has received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Hanafi was presented with this prestigious award by representatives of the Canada Safety Council. Hanafi

has worked for and volunteered with non-profit organizations for over 20 years, both in Ottawa and in Lanark County, where she lives with her family.

Hanafi was selected in recognition of her contribution to safety. As executive director of the Ottawa Safety Council,

Hanafi is responsible for furthering the volunteer-based nonprofit organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate to provide education in traffic and pedestrian safety for adults and children.

The medal was presented to Hanafi by Raynald Marchand, general manager of the Can-

ada Safety Council, and Carole Deavey, National Projects Manager of the Canada Safety Council. The Canada Safety Council, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice and resource for safety, provides national leadership in safety through information, education and collaboration.

The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a commemorative medal created to mark the 60th anniversary of the accession to the throne of Queen Elizabeth II. In Canada, the medal is to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians, and is be-

ing awarded to 60,000 citizens and permanent residents of Canada who made a significant contribution to their fellow countrymen, their community, or to Canada over the previous 60 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud to be recognized by my country,â&#x20AC;? concluded Hanafi.
