EMC News - With the cutting of a ribbon the staff at the Salvation Army Church celebrated the end of renovations at the Brockville Street facility and the continuation of their work in the community.

A number of parishioners and stakeholders came together on the grounds of the church Oct. 27 to celebrate the end of a renovation that was several months in the making. Majors Faith and Malcolm Cameron took the opportunity to thank all who had a hand in making this grand re-opening possible, including those parishioners who donated $500,000 for the project to be completed.

"I want to thank the donors that gave us the funds," Major Malcolm Cameron said.

"Without them we couldn't have done it."

It was noted none of the funds donated by the public were used for the building unless it was specifically asked.

All community donations support the ongoing out reach programs the church offers.

Mainstreets topic of first ever symposium why Beckwith Street was built at such a large width.

Bob Cheetham, manager of economic development for the Town of Smiths Falls asked Nasmith what benefits she felt there were to being in a heritage district and how to sell the idea.

“You bread is going to be buttered with heritage,” she said. “The word to underline is conservation.”

In terms of gaining buy in from local businesses and property owners, she said, “The first people who make that investment really opens the eyes of other people.”

By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

EMC Lifestyle – Focusing in its first year on “Our Mainstreets” the Rural Heritage Preservation Symposium in Smiths Falls has been deemed a success.

Put together by the Smiths Falls Municipal Heritage Committee, the Oct. 26 all day event attracted a small crowd to the Station Theatre.

Exploring the topic of mainstreets, were three special guest speakers. The first was Ken Doherty, director of the community services department for the City of Peterborough who spoke on “Peterborough: A sense of place.”

Next up was Jim Mountain, cultural developer with the City of Ottawa, on the topic of “Revitalizing Saskatchewan’s Mainstreet Program”. The final presentation of the day came from Catherine Nasmith, of Catherine Nasmith Architect. Her presentation was entitled “Mainstreets as Old Growth Forests.”

In introducing Nasmith, town councillor Lorraine Allen explained, she is the past president of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, the founder of the Doors Open program in Canada and she has received the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for Ontario heritage works, among many other accomplishments.

Mainstreets have the ability to decline and to regenerate, she explained.

Her journey into the subject began 30 years ago. Ever since, she has been “watching” and feels, “when people start to recognize the potential of these places then they will stop treating them as disposable.”

Mainstreets go through several states, from decline to regeneration and renewal. As a graduate in Chatham, in 1978, the grad students undertook a study of the downtown core. Researching the history of

the street and each of its buildings. They discovered the street had a bend, as the back faced the river – where goods had in the past been loaded.

“People lived and worked in this compact space. It adds up to something very, very different from our current ideas of shopping,” she commented.

She pointed to old hotels within mainstreets as a “challenge”.

“Often these buildings people don’t want to stay in hotels on the mainstreet,” she said. Pointing to a few examples of success, she explained these locations had turned old hotels into community hubs. For example, the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. A large grand old building, it was built in 1889. It is now home to ground floor restaurants, galleries and up top, a hotel.

Perfect definitions of what she refers to as a “steady state” for mainstreets, she points to the

block on their mainstreet, as a “clear cut”.

Showing a picture of the scene, whereby the block was demolished, she commented, “Everything is wrong with this picture.”

When it came time for audience questions, the first question asked was at what point did Nasmith feel Smiths Falls was at in

communities of Meaford and Hanover.

Meaford is located in Grey County, in southern Ontario. She describes its mainstreet as a little too small for big highway commercial development around it. The buildings, she says, are in good repair and occupied by businesses.

The second location, she describes is in a steady state is Hanover, also in Grey County. Calling it a farming community, she says it is small and hasn’t attracted a lot of retail businesses.

“People really like the mainstreet’s merchants,” she commented. “There is a community effort to stay alive.” And she joked, the real test for a successful mainstreet is, “if there is a grocery store and a liquor store on the main street they’re in good shape.”

While on the opposite side of the coin, referring to the City of Brantford’s move to demolish an entire

the cycle.

“Steady state,” she answered. “You could benefit from more attention to preservation. There’s a lot to hang your hat on. Great building stock there.”

Pointing to the width of Smiths Falls’ mainstreet, Beckwith Street, as something of interest. She feels the town should explore

The World Broomball Championships organizing committee met with MPs Scott Reid and Cheryl Gallant on Oct. 24 at Parliament Hill to officially thank them for their financial support for the tournament, being hosted in the Ottawa Valley.

Broomball gets $50,000 boost from development program brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC News - Members of the 2012 World Broomball Championship organizing committee were at Parliament Hill last Wednesday to officially accept $50,000 in funding from MPs Scott Reid and Cheryl Gallant.

The funding was provided in advance as the championship, at that time was just around the corner with an Oct. 29 kick-off.

Committee members Gary Dalgity, Ruth Brown, George Brown, Allan Reid and Glenn Arthur were able to officially thank the MPs and present them with their own broomball sticks while at the hill.

The funding came from the Eastern Ontario Development Program. As the event is be-

ing held in Beckwith, Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Arnprior, it falls into both Gallant and Reid’s ridings.

Due to this cross-over, both MPs were able to apply for $25,000 in funding, with a total of $50,000 being given.

Arthur said that the funds were earmarked for advertising, officiating and facility costs for the tournament.

Gallant said even though the funding has already been given, both herself and Reid wanted to officially celebrate the funding with the committee.

“It’s finally coming to fruition,” Arthur said. “Four communities coming together.

And not only the organizing committee, but minor sports groups in each town.”

Minor sports groups have

given up regular ice time in order to give facilities in each of the four communities up for the tournament. He said it has taken a lot of cooperation to pull the tournament and facilities together.

“It’s been a job and a half,” Arthur said.

Reid said it was beneficial that the tournament was spread over two ridings, as far as funding was concerned.

“This is a good example of something where you have communities that cross over the jurisdictional boundaries,” he said.

Flu shot now available in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Get your flu shot.

That is the message from the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Influenza is a preventable illness that can be very dangerous to some individuals. Margaret Hendriks, RN, BScN, manager, department of community Health Protection encourages everyone to get their flu shot.

“It’s recommended that everyone get the vaccine unless advised by your doctor due to a current medical condition,” said Hendriks.

“I hope everyone gets out and gets the flu shot. Prevention is important, why would you not want to prevent something that is preventable.”

According to the health unit influenza is extremely contagious and can spread rapidly from person to person. It is important for individuals to protect them-

selves as well as others in the community.

Some important tips to protect yourself from influenza include: Get a flu shot, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, keep frequently touched hard surfaces clean and disinfected, cover your cough, and stay home when you are sick.

“When people get influenza it is very challenging because it is different than a common cold, it lasts longer and there are a lot of complications,” said Hendriks. “It is more problematic than other diseases and it takes away from your family. It affects them too.”

The flu vaccine is safe and effective, and getting it early helps you and people around you stay healthy.

The flu can lead to serious health problems, and those most at risk are the elderly, young children, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.

“We’re making it easier

War Amps legacy continues with address label mailing

you get your flu shot,” said Hendriks. “It takes 24 to 48 hours for the flu shot to take affect and I always tell people that the protection does not start right away.”

After receiving a flu shot some people may have a mild fever, feel tired, or have muscle aches - this is considered a normal reaction to having a vaccination. It is not the flu.

Hendriks notes there are currently no cases of influenza reported in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

“Influenza was very low in the province last year,” said Hendriks.

She also notes that there is enough vaccine for everyone.

“First it is distributed to the long care term facilities, the hospitals and doctors offices and then to the community clinics,” said Hendriks. “They are immunizing the very vulnerable population first.”

Flu season is from October/November to March/

April. It also peaks in late Spring. Protect yourself by getting immunized at a local flu clinic.

There are 17 community clinics being held this year from Nov. 1 to Dec. 13 in 14 different communities.

For more information about the flu and for a listing of free flu shot community clinics, contact the Health Unit at 1-800-6605853 or (613)-345-5685 or visit the web site at www. healthunit.org/clinics or like the Health Unit on Facebook for important up-

dates.

Quick facts: • The flu shot is offered free of charge to everyone six months of age and older who lives, works or attends school in Ontario.

• People with the flu may be contagious even before symptoms appear and up to seven days after becoming sick.

• It is impossible to get the flu from the flu shot.

EMC News - The War Amps begins its 2012 address label mailing to Ontario residents this week with the theme, The Legacy Continues.

Shannon, a graduate of the War Amps child amputee program (CHAMP), describes how she became a part of this legacy at the age of 12 after losing her leg to cancer.

“The War Amps was recommended to my family because they could provide financial assistance with artificial limbs, but little did I know there was so much more to it than that,” Shannon said.

Through Operation Legacy, Shannon, along with other Champs, passes on the war amputees’ remembrance message to the younger generation. It was these same war amputees who realized many years ago that there was a need to assist Canadian children who were born missing limbs, or lost them due to accidents or medical causes.

Sent as a thank you to supporters of the War Amps key tag service, address labels are not just for envelopes. They can be used to identify items like books and for filling out name and address information on forms.

The War Amps receives no government grants. Its programs are possible solely through public support of the key tag and address label service. For more information, or to order address labels, visit waramps.ca or call toll-free 1 800 250-3030.

than ever to get your free flu shot by offering it at participating pharmacies, as well as doctors’ offices and community clinics. Getting immunized against the flu is the most effective way to stay healthy during this flu season – that’s why I’m getting my flu shot early, protecting myself and those around me,” said Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care.

Contrary to what some people may think the flu vaccine does not contain live virus therefore it can’t give you the flu. Most people will have no reaction to having a flu vaccine while some report having tenderness at the injection site for a few days.

Hendriks reminds people that the protection is not immediate and some people may get sick after the shot, but it is not the flu.

“What happens is someone may already be incubating a respiratory infection, you could be affected up to two weeks before

Offering the same popular features from past events – social activity, entertainment, refreshments, snacks and more.

The SFDCS board hopes a large crowd will come out to seize the mix and mingle opportunity.

This year’s event takes place Nov. 28 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Smiths Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario.

Admission is just $5, but organizers are asking those who attend to bring along a nonperishable food item. Partnering with the local Build a

Mountain of Food drive, Carl Evoy, local association board president explained, food donations will be given to the campaign.

“Everyone who attended our last Christmas Social raved they had a wonderful time. The board wanted to bring back what was a fun evening,” Evoy noted. “Taking a break from the social for a few years has allowed us to plan an even bigger and better

event.”

The event is really two pronged for the association, the first goal of course to raise funds; the second goal is to raise awareness.

“The whole idea is to have a social, casual get together,” Evoy emphasized. “It is just a fun evening. You can meet people and see what’s going on around town, and see the museum. All while raising funds for an important cause.”

Crime Stoppers receives no funding period, funding comes from fundraisers and the sale of Nevada tickets.

Monthly costs include $200-$300 for the 1-800 phone line coupled with the answering service expenses.

The service offers anyone with information to a local crime a way to provide

it to the police without being identified. It is operated with the support of a Smiths Falls Police co-ordinator who takes the calls and a team of dedicated volunteers whom together find ways to support the ongoing operational costs of the system. The Crime Stoppers service operates entirely through donations.

For tickets, contact any Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers board member or call Evoy at 613-2832444, tickets can also be purchased at Impression Printing, Smiths Falls or at the Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce office.

Locally Crime Stoppers began in the summer of 1990 as a satellite to the Kingston and District Crime Stoppers, however in September of 1992, things changed. That

year, Smiths Falls formed its own program independent of Kingston, which continues to serve Smiths Falls and immediate area.

Crime Stoppers is a nonprofit program, operated by a board of directors. The board features members of the local community who are responsible for fundraising, advertisement, payment of rewards and all other functions of the local association.

Crime Stoppers works closely with the police and supplies information from callers to the local department to assist in the solving of crimes.

Callers providing information leading to arrests are eligible for rewards up to $2,000.

Those wishing to provide a tip may call 1-800-222-TIPS

(8477) and know they will remain anonymous.

No names are asked, no attempts are made to trace the call or identify the caller, and the Crime Stoppers phones do not have call display.

Calls are answered 24 hours a day. When calling in the caller is given a code number with which they will identify themselves in any future calls.

Those providing tips are given a date to call Crime Stoppers back.

They will be updated on the status of the investigation, perhaps asked for more information, or if the tip has resulted in an arrest, or recovery of property or drugs, the caller will be guided through the procedure of collecting their reward.

Tickets on sale now for Camelot by Smiths Falls Community Theatre variations, the wizard Merlin (there are three in this version) and of course the Knights.

Yes, they are all there but… the story is about to be told just a little differently than the one you know. You might have already guessed that by the “three” Merlins.

Ben Crocker’s Camelot the Panto will introduce you to several other exciting characters, such as a dancing bear (Caren MacNevin) and her nurse, Connie (Mike Adams), just to mention a few because we wouldn’t want to

give away all the secrets – you need to come to the show for that. For anyone who hasn’t attended a Pantomime, it is a family event extraordinaire, where the audience participates by cheering the good guys, booing the evil guys and joining in for fun sing songs.

Last year’s Panto, Cinderella, played to sold out houses so you need to get your tickets early so as not to be disappointed. They went on sale beginning Nov. 1, at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St., Smiths Falls (cash only), on

line at smithsfallstheatre.com (Paypal/Visa/Mastercard), by phone - 613-283-0300 (Visa/Mastercard) or subject to availability, at the door half hour before performance

(cash only). Performances are Nov. 29, 30 and Dec. 1, 6, 7, 8 at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinees Dec. 2 and 9 at 2 p.m. Prices are: adult $20, senior (65+) $18, child/student (with ID)

COMMENTARY

Stay safe this hunting season

Photo by TIFFANY LEPACK

Henry Norwood, 14, from Perth, entertains the soldout crowd during the Country Harvest Music Show at the Carleton Place and District Community Centre re-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Efforts to eradicate polio must continue DEAR EDITOR: Humanity is about to eradicate polio after three decades of continuous efforts to immunize the children of the world.

Thanks to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), the total number of polio cases decreased from 350,000 in 1988 to 650 in 2011, and to only a little more than 100 since the beginning of 2012.

Polio resurgence around the world after so many years of effort would be disastrous. We would probably then lose forever

the chance to eradicate the disease.

Canada has played an important role in the polio eradication over the last decade, being the fifth largest donor to GPEI. I do wish the Harper government will reverse its decision to cut in this important health initiative and will maintain its $35 million contribution per year to the GPEI until polio eradication is achieved.

EMC Editorial - Tis vacation season for hunters out there – these are the men and women who count the days until their particular hunting season opens. These are the men and women who strategize how to go about landing their targets - whatever targets they may be. Geese, duck, deer, moose. The fall is a busy season.

With this busy season however, there comes with it several issues. The Canada Safety Council reported in October alone, between Oct. 1 and 17, there were four deaths across Canada involving firearms. One each in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.

There was an additional incident in B.C., however it was not fatal.

While one sole reason for the incidents can’t be identified, the Canada Safety Council is suggesting some precautions and training to prevent unnecessary deaths during this hunting season. A season meant to be enjoyed by those who call it a hobby.

Each area may have different regulations, and dates for when hunting opens for various seasons, however the tips provided by the council can be taken as universal.

They suggest taking a Canadian Firearms Safety Course, to wear “blaze” orange so as to be easily visible to others out hunting, keep firearm unloaded and locked when traveling to and from one’s hunting areas. Don’t hunt in populated areas or where several hunters may already be present. Other tips suggest not hunting when conditions are impaired by fog, or lack of daylight; to never hunt while impaired - either by lack of sleep, or by substances such as drugs or alcohol; to rely on sight and not sound; to keep one’s focus, and keep one’s finger off of the trigger until ready to shoot.

There are many other tips which can be read by visiting the Canada Safety Council site (canadasafetycouncil. org), but above all most tips would fall under the common sense category.

Exercise caution, and be safe so you can enjoy your hobby this year.

Ronny’s effort to plant potatoes in his ears causes commotion EMC Lifestyle - Mother had a thing about clean ears and necks. We never once went out the door in the morning on the way to the Northcote School, that we weren’t subjected to a close look at both. Heaven forbid that we might get run over with a horse and buggy, end up at old Doctor Murphy’s or the Renfrew Hospital, and have someone see that we had dirty ears and necks!

Every night before we went to bed, each of us had to give ourselves a sponge bath. And we had to pay special attention to our ears and necks, knowing full well they would be scrutinized the next morning. We pretty well ignored the rest of our bodies, since it wasn’t likely Mother would be examining us after we were fully dressed.

My sister Audrey said she was quite sure we had the cleanest ears and necks in the

entire of Renfrew County.

One year the Lapointe cousins were again with us well into the fall, and Father said he doubted very much if Uncle Herby had any intention of taking them back to Montreal before the spring thaw! Ronny was a force to be reckoned with, while his younger brother Terry was as meek as a mouse. And any time Uncle Herby and Aunt Helen could send the boys out to the farm at Northcote, they did. It didn’t matter if it was the middle of the winter, or during the dead heat of the summer, we never knew when to expect the two cousins.

I was always thrilled when they came to stay. They added much to our quiet life out there on the farm, and I loved when the cousins were with us, even though Ronny was constantly in trouble, if not at home, at the Northcote School.

Back then it didn’t seem to matter where you came from, or why you were in the school. If you were of school age, you just went. Terry was too young, even for Primer book, so he stayed home with Mother. But Ronny, close to my age, made the three and half mile trek with the rest of us. All that was needed was an extra bag of lunch.

Well, Ronny hated having his ears examined every morning. He didn’t complain about the neck, but for some reason he went through a routine that never varied when Mother was ready for her examination. He would bend his head onto his shoulder as far as it would go,

screw up his face, and let out a howl much like our old Collie dog did when he thought something was attacking our hen house. Mother gave him no sympathy.

He also didn’t have much use for the nightly sponge bath. And I know for a fact, he often just wet the face cloth and put it right back in the basin of water, stood for as long as he thought a reasonable time, and announced he was finished.

And of course, the ears were rarely touched. Well, one morning Mother took a hold of one of his ears, and said “Ronny Lapointe, you could plant potatoes in there.

Get over to the bench and I’ll give those ears a clean out.”

Well, for some reason that morning, Ronny took his punishment like a man. But I could tell the wheels were turning in his heard. There was no howling, and he didn’t

even bend his head to his shoulder when the other ear was being washed. Something was up with Ronny, I could tell.

He was deep in thought.

The next morning, we all lined up for the usual examination. Mother thought, since Audrey was in Senior Fourth, she didn’t have to have her ears and neck examined. She was old enough and quite capable of looking after her own cleanliness. I couldn’t wait until I reached that magic age.

Well, it was Ronny’s turn.

He stood ramrod straight.

Again, very unusual for Ronny. When Mother bent to have a look, she got close to his ears and then hauled him over to the window so she could get a better view.

“Ronny Lapointe! What have you got in your ears?”

Ronny looked up at Mother and said, “Aunty, you said

yesterday I could plant potatoes in my ears. Well, I thought I could maybe help it along if I put a bit of gravel in there. I sure would like to see a potato grow in my ears. Boy, wouldn’t I have something to tell the guys back in Montreal when I get home.”

I had no idea if he thought seriously that he could plant a potato in his ear by putting in a bit of dirt, or if, as usual, he just wanted to cause a bit of commotion in that old log house out in Renfrew County!

Father was just coming in the back door from the barns and he saw the entire performance.

He lit his pipe, squinted his eyes half shut, as he always did when he saw or heard something he couldn’t believe, and said “It’s going to be a long winter. I’ll tell you, I’m afraid they’ll be here until the spring run-off!”

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

EMC Lifestyle - Nov. 4-10 has by designated as Crime Prevention Week by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police. As part of this initiative to prevent crime the following information has been released.

The following facts and tips are aimed at heightening awareness about what you can do to protect yourself, your children and your home or vehicle from crime.

Protecting yourself: • Do not leave keys hidden in obvious places outside. • When in public, always be aware of your surroundings. Be mindful of people loitering or acting suspiciously. • If you live alone, use only first initials with surname on mailboxes, directories, etc. • Arrange a system so that someone has a key to your home and is aware of your whereabouts at all times, especially if you live alone.

Protecting dren:

your

chil-

• Remind your children: To tell you where they are at all times. Tell them, their schools, their daycare provider, etc., where to reach you in an emergency; • To go directly to a ca-

shier or information booth if they become separated from you in a public area; • If they are home alone, not to answer the door, or if on the phone, not to say they are alone.

Protecting your home and vehicle: • Keep a lived-in look when you are away. Have mail, newspapers, etc., picked up, lawns cut or snow removed. • Insure your home and contents, and store valuables in a safety deposit box.

Install smoke alarms and test monthly. Plan and practice an escape route with all household members. • Don’t put your name or address on your house or vehicle keys, and keep them on separate rings. • Always check the interior and under the vehicle before entering, especially at night. • It’s good practice in two-door vehicles to move the front seat forward when the vehicle is unoccupied. • If you are going to be away overnight or for extended periods of time, use automatic timers to turn lights on and off in various parts of the house at night.

Council participation icing on the cake for hay fundraiser

By CHRIS MUST

EMC News - Getting Lanark County councillors involved is the “icing on the cake� for organizers of the Nov. 3 Lanark Hay East.

Gordon Patterson, one of the organizers of the benefit dance - which will raise funds to help pay the cost of transporting hay to the county to feed local livestock - issued a challenge to councillors at their Oct. 24 meeting. “What I propose to do tonight is to present a challenge to all you councillors,� said Patterson. “I propose that you each go back to your municipality, and find a good cook to bake a cake representing your municipality. That’s eight cakes. We’ll auction

them off.�

Patterson said he would like to see one cake from each of the local municipalities in the county: the Town of Perth, Town of Carleton Place, Town of Mississippi Mills, and townships of Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Montague, and Tay Valley.

He hopes several thousand dollars can be raised from the cake auction. “It’s kind of hard to say ‘no’,� said Lanark County Warden John Gemmell, adding, “I’d bake the cake myself, but for liability reasons, I won’t.�

Patterson explained to council that livestock producers in Lanark lack sufficient feed for their animals in the wake of

this summer’s prolonged drought. Hay normally used to feed them during the winter has already been used up. Plans are in place to bring hay for the winter from western Canada through a project initiated by the Saskatchewan Unit of the Mennonite Disaster Service.

A shipment of hay from the west was delivered to a farm near Cobden on Oct. 17 and must now be transported to individual farms.

Patterson said it will cost about $100 per bale to bring the hay to the area. An estimated 30,000 to 50,000 bales may be needed in Lanark County.

Funds raised at the Nov. 3 Lanark Hay East Fling will be used to bring hay from the railroad yard in Smiths

Patterson told councillors the Lanark County Cattlemen’s Association and friends have also been lobbying the federal government for a disaster relief program, and are awaiting a response from Minister of Agriculture Gerry Ritz.

The benefit dance will be held at the Almonte Civitan Hall, with a beef on a bun barbecue getting under way at 7 p.m. Cakes donated by county municipalities will be auctioned during the evening. The hall, auction items, food for the barbecue and entertainment have all been donated. “We want to have a fun time, and we want to raise money to feed these cows,� said Patterson.

The Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society launched its winter series of lectures recently at the Moore House in Carleton Place. John Moses, a member of the Delaware band from the Six Nations of the Grand River, spoke on Aboriginal Contributions to Canada’s Military Heritage. Emphasis was on the War of 1812 and the native involvement in this aspect of our history. Moses shared several artifacts with the audience, and conducted a question and answer period. The Society will present a talk on archeology in November. Check the website www.cpbheritagemuseum. com and visit the Facebook page for date and time.

EMC News - Lanark County won’t provide sustainable funding to the local shelter for abused women, but it will help lobby the federal and provincial governments for assistance.

At a regular meeting Oct. 24 Lanark County Council voted not to refer a request for $35,000 from Interval House to the 2013 budget process, based on a staff report which stated that granting the request would severely impact the county’s already declining budget for social housing.

A motion to invite Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier to a future meeting to discuss solutions to the problem was approved.

The initial funding request was made by Interval House executive director Erin Lee Todd at an Oct. 10 meeting of the county’s social services committee.

Todd told the committee the shelter is facing a deficit due to increasing costs and declining provincial funding. Todd quoted Lanark OPP statistics showing 501 domestic violence calls in 2011 compared to 426 calls in 2010 and 382 calls in 2009. The shelter served 481 women and 141 children in 2011-2012.

In her presentation to the committee, the Interval House executive director argued that the shelter is addressing a potential problem of homelessness, since it is providing refuge for women and children forced to leave their homes to escape violence.

The Social Services Committee directed the county’s Social Services Department to review the issue and determine whether there might be an opportunity to address the Interval House funding shortfall within the county’s homelessness strategy, and to bring forward a staff report as soon as possible.

The county is currently de-

veloping a 10-year housing and homelessness plan.

The staff report, prepared by social services director Nancy Green, concluded: “While it is recognized that the request from Lanark County Interval House is a worthy one, it is not one that can be accommodated in the Social Services or Emergency Services budgets under any of their provincially funded programs for a sustainable period of time.”

At the same time that Interval House is facing reduced provincial funding, said Green, Lanark County Social Services will have only $853,239 in provincial funding in 2013, compared to $1,209,045 in 2012.

“This reduction will have a significant impact on the people served by these programs, and will create a ripple effect on other services/agencies across Lanark County,” commented Green. “It is both ironic and tragic that the province is asking for a 10year homelessness strategy while significantly reducing the funding for existing homelessness programs.”

Granting the request from Interval House, Green reported, would negatively impact the level of housing and homelessness support the county will be able to provide.

“It is also important to note that not all victims of domestic violence we assist are clients of Lanark County Interval House,” Green added. “Some approach us on their own, while others are referred to us from other community agencies.”

LAWS has many to thank for community fundraisers A little about me...

I am a very sweet, affectionate and a quiet older girl. I hang around with my friend Bridget who is the outgoing one... It helps me to come out of my shell and experience the world in a different way.

I am tolerant of other dogs although I prefer the quieter ones. I definitely need to be an indoor dog as I don’t tolerate the cold very well. Life has not always been kind to me and now I would really need a nice home to retire to and to enjoy a piece of that sunshine...Would I fit into your plans?

This Week’s Pets someone’s heart... I will need a very specific person to take me home. I find it difficult to keep my cool around other dogs, so I should live with an all human pack.

Victor is a Boston Terrier X, white and brindle, male who is one year old.

A Little about Me… They named me Victor after the “RCA” dog… Do you see the resemblance? I am an extremely cute dog, I am friendly and social with all people, including children. I can be dog-dog friendly when introductions are properly done. I am a young dog who is receptive to humans and who wants to please. I am very determined and willful though and, as such, will require formal training classes and structure which will allow me to trust in my new owner’s guidance.

I really love attention and affection from people and I know how to get it! I am treat motivated, very playful, enthusiastic, and outgoing so my new home will need to keep up with me! Please… no cats, they rub me the wrong way…

Are you very active, can you offer me lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation?

Then, I’m the guy for you!

Veda is a Hound X, white and red, female (spayed) and is seven plus years old.

New pet adoption site The Lanark Animal Welfare Society is proud to announce that Natural Pet Foods has joined us in our ongoing efforts to rehome cats. You now have the opportunity to view and adopt cats at their following location: Natural Pet Food, 61 Bridge Street, Carleton Place, 613-253-7387.

The cats located in these stores are all shelter animals and the Lanark Animal Welfare Society receives 100 per cent of the adoption fee.

All cats are vaccinated (with the exception of the Rabies Vaccine), microchipped and spayed/neutered.

Please visit the Natural Pet Foods store in Carleton Place to view some of LAWS’ beautiful cats and, who knows, perhaps you will meet your

Pet Fest thank yous The owners and staff at Slackoni’s were amazing supporters of LAWS – the dinner was fabulous. All proceeds went to LAWS, all servers volunteered, and they even helped put on the Pet Fest microbrewery event on their patio that afternoon. The dinner was close to sold out - attended by 45 people. We’re hoping to do it again next year. With advance notice, and return guests, it could become a nice fundraiser for LAWS. For the Everything Zen Band event, Friday, Oct. 26 at Farrell Hall in Perth - a special thanks to Terri Lee and Kellie Desjardins.

To the volunteers, businesses and individuals who donated a fabulous variety of silent auction and raffle items and of course to all the lucky bidders and winners of these!

Lynn Miles was in Concert at the Full Circle Theatre, Saturday, Oct. 27. Thanks to the team at the theater and all who attended (donations were accepted for LAWS).

LAWS wishes to thank the community of St-George’s Anglican Church in Clayton for the monetary and generous donation of items gathered during the “Blessing of the Animals” ceremony held Sunday, Oct. 14. Thank you so much!

EMC Lifestyle Shakeera is a Rottweiler X, black and tan, female (spayed), three years old.

A little about me...

I am a very affectionate girl, but I can be cautious and apprehensive around new people. I know some basic commands such as “sit, down and shake a paw” and I have a good recall when off-leash.

I learn best when the rules are clearly defined and... it helps if you have treats in your pocket!

I will need a gentle owner who will guide me in a consistent manner.

Despite all the activity at the shelter I am not very vocal but I can be choosy about the dogs that I play with. I love to play fetch and I will need an owner who can keep up with me!

Chester is a black Lab with a white chest. He is neutered and nine years old.

I am a fun-loving and independent guy. I like to jump and run. I can find creative ways to escape enclosures and will need a very secure fenced yard for safety.

I do have some good training skills, but I am a little rusty so will need a refresher.

I can be very sensitive about having my collar grabbed, so a harness and a good handler will be best. I’ve enjoyed my stay at LAWS, but I have been here way too long... I desperately need to find my way into

Mitsubishi RVR a competitively priced CUV

Auto Know BRIAN TURNER

and heater controls are uncluttered and easy to use and the instrument panel is free from unnecessary distraction and allows drivers to select their own auxiliary gauge or trip data to display in between the large analogue speedometer and tachometer. Rear leg and headroom is better than most CUV’s and cargo room is generous at 49.5 cubic feet behind the first row of seats and 21.7 cubic feet behind the second row.

The 2.0 L engine won’t set any track records, but propels the RVR up to highway pace with little complaint. The CVT transmission has six-speed shifts programmed into its controller to provide the feel of a regular automatic and not the slushy ‘shifts’ of most variable speed gear-boxes. The ride is free from the chop and roll that can plague this CUV segment and braking and steering systems provide suitable handling and safety. Some automakers get a little too wrapped up in design and one of the first things this effects is outward visibility as artistic and future looking body lines seldom make for large clear windows. Mitsubishi has avoided this by putting function and safety above styling. But they still managed to come up with an attractive exterior package.

Mitsubishi kept safety at the top of the standard equipment list with no less than 7 air-bags, an active stability control system, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, and active front-seat head-rests just to name a few.

Fuel economy ratings from NRCan peg the RVR AWD at 8.6 L/100 km city and 6.6 L/100 km highway (32.9 mpg and 42.8 mpg). The EPA ratings in imperial gallons from the U.S. are 28.8 mpg and 34.8 mpg. Its 60 L fuel tank should deliver a 50/50 driving mix range of over 700 km and cost around $66 to fill at $1.20/L. On the maintenance side of the coin an air filter is priced at $36.95, front brake pads and rotors are $149 and $204 respectively and a dealer oil change with recommended synthetic oil will set you back $60. The P215/70R16 tires on my tester are available from a very large selection of makers ranging in price from $120-$250 each.

The big story in value with Mitsubishi continues to be their industry-leading warranty. The RVR is backed by a 5 year/100,000 km base warranty and a 10 year/160,000 km power-train plan. This alone adds hundreds of dollars in value to an already competitively priced CUV. If you’re looking for a CUV or compact crossover with real AWD capability in an affordable package with solid performance, then the RVR deserves your consideration.

EMC Lifestyle - The vehicles I road-test for these reviews come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships.

I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering.

The Mitsubishi RVR (Recreational Vehicle Runner) I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Canada’s newest Mitsubishi dealership: Rivington Mitsubishi in Carleton Place.

While Mitsubishi may be only celebrating its first decade in Canada, in reality their vehicles have been on our roads for much longer. Cars like the Dodge Colt, or Summit Wagon were Mitsubishis’ with different nameplates and early Hyundai’s’ (remember the Pony and the Stellar?) ran on Mitsubishi power-trains. Their latest foray into the compact utility vehicle (CUV) market, the RVR was actually introduced in Asia in 1991 as the Colt Wagon and is currently sold in the U.S. as the Outlander Sport.

This four-door front-wheel or all-wheel drive is priced from $19,998 to $32,998 and my SE AWD level unit came in at $25,698 (all prices before destination, dealer prep, licence, taxes, or current incentives). Power comes from a 2.0 L four-cylinder engine developing 148 hp and 145 lb/ ft of torque. The transmission is of the continually variable type which makes the most of the engine’s power input while still allowing for better than average fuel economy. The RVR comes with a surprising level of equipment for a mid $20K CUV with such items as tilt/ telescoping steering column, heated seats, 140 watt audio system, remote keyless entry, 6-way adjustable driver’s seat, and a hands-free cell phone system just to name a few features (in fact the hands-free system comes standard on 3 out of the 4 trim levels of RVR). And for all-wheel drive users, the rotary control that takes the RVR from front-wheel to all-wheel drive includes a lock position that ensures predictable handling and traction on snow and ice covered roads.

The RVR has one of the best laid-out interiors I’ve seen in this class and the seats are very supportive and easy to adjust to various body-types. Audio

Almonte hosts senior football final Friday; St. John has opportunity to do the double

By JEFF MAGUIRE

counts four shutouts among their six regular season victories!

At Naismith Field Thursday Almonte scored early and often against fourth place PDCI who were 2-4 during the season. Blue Devils grabbed the final semi-final place by winning 36-6 over Carleton Place High School (CPHS) Golden Bears in their last regular season outing.

Bears were also 2-4 but lost out on points for and against ratio.

Thunderbolts took control of the semi-final with Perth early, striking for three touchdowns in the opening quarter and never looking back.

The winner of Friday’s Lanark senior title game will move into the regional playoffs and a date with the Renfrew County High School Football League champions on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 6. This year’s contest will be played on the home field of the Lanark champions.

In Renfrew County senior semi-final action last Thursday it was third place Mackenzie High School Mustangs of Deep River surprising second place Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) Raiders 23-13 in Renfrew. RCI went 4-2 during the regular season while Mustangs finished 2-4.

Deep River now has the unenviable task of taking on two-time defending league and provincial (Tier 2) champion Arnprior District High School Redmen in the league final. That contest will be played Friday at 2 p.m. in Arnprior.

Redmen earned a bye through to the championship game after a perfect 6-0 season during which they outscored their three opponents 239-88.

Meanwhile the finalists have also been determined in the Lanark-Renfrew Junior High School Football League following two very close semi-finals last week.

St. John of Perth will host defending champion Arnprior at 2 p.m. Friday with the junior crown at stake.

Last Thursday the host Junior Spartans squeezed

past fourth place CPHS Junior Bear Cubs 14-12 to qualify for the final. Spartans finished first with a 6-1 record during the regular

season while Bears were a solid 5-2 during the campaign.

In the other semi-final

clash perennial champions Arnprior had their hands full against Smiths Falls and District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) RedHawks,

outlasting the visitors 2220 Thursday afternoon.

Arnprior was 6-1 during the season while SFDCI posted a strong 5-2 mark.

EMC Sports - As most high school football watchers expected, the undefeated Almonte and District High School (ADHS) Senior Thunderbolts easily qualified for the Lanark County Senior High School Football League final last Thursday.

T-Bolts, under the direction of long-time head coach Chris Spratt, rolled over visiting Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) Blue Devils 48-7 at Naismith Field in one of two league semi-final games. In the process Almonte improved their impressive 2012 mark to 7-0.

Tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 2 p.m. ADHS will host St. John Catholic High School Spartans of Perth in the senior championship game. St. John posted a solid 35-15 decision against Notre Dame Catholic High School Warriors of Carleton Place in the other senior football semi-final played last Thursday in Perth.

Meanwhile the Junior Spartans will host Arnprior District High School Redmen in the Lanark-Renfrew junior final tomorrow. That means St. John has an opportunity to do the double this season, just as Arnprior teams did in 2011.

It is unlikely Almonte will go into tomorrow’s senior title game over confident! Last season Thunderbolts were beaten 23-14

by Spartans in the Lanark senior football championship game, after ADHS had completed an unbeaten regular season. Last fall’s contest was played in Perth and both teams went into the game with identical 6-0-1 records. T-Bolts and Spartans tied in their only regular season meeting last year.

Almonte came out on top 20-7 in their only head-tohead meeting with St. John this season. That game, played in Perth on Sept. 18, was the league opener for both schools.

After the campaign opening setback, Spartans went 5-0 the rest of the way and rang up a pair of shutouts.

which could be affixed to the car license? For this, they might charge a minor fee which could yield substantial revenue for the department. It also would relieve handicapped individuals of parking grief and problems related to poorly designed permits.

I urge you to give this problem serious attention and to alleviate this problem created by your department.

Thank you sincerely, JS Kingston The Ontario government responded to our reader with a statement to the effect that the placement of the permit and the info it contains are governed by legislation and that a removable permit was chosen because there are many applicants, (minor children, seniors) who neither drive nor own vehicles but still require and qualify for permits. They added that this provides for family members, friends or service providers to take the permit with them when they are providing transportation to someone with a disability.

They also indicated the laminated permit has security features and is in fact quite durable. Affixing it to the sun visor or placing it on the dashboard protects the personal and identifying information on the reverse side of the permit.

If the permit was hanging from the rear-view mirror, identifying information about the permit holder would be visible through the windshield and/or the side windows. Additionally, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suggest suspending the permit from

the rear-view mirror as it would obstruct the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of traffic.

Our reader tried to reason with the Ministry that private personal information did not have to appear on the permit but could be simply tied to a serialized number on the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data-base.

They also offered the fact that many jurisdictions currently use a mirror tag without any worry about impairing visibility through the windshield. When I contacted the MTO they passed my inquiry to Service Ontario and the response I got from them was simply a carbon copy of what they sent to our reader. It could be reasonably argued that a shiny laminated sheet of paper laid on the dash of a vehicle can provide just as

much vision impairment (if not more) than a suitablysized permit tag hanging from the rear-view mirror.

And on some vehicles with a dark band of window tinting at the top of the windshield the permit might not be completely visible if left attached to the sunvisor. But judging from the response received from Service Ontario, they are firmly stuck in reverse and not interested in a logical improvement to this issue.

EMC Lifestyle - A thoughtful reader wrote in with a concern she tried to take up with the Ontario Minister of Transportation recentlyâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Minister, Our province is unfortunately being ridiculed for its treatment of handicapped people with our Accessible Parking Permits (APP). The problem is an aggravating and frustrating one for which there may be an easy solution. I would not have known of the problem until my own mobility became impaired. I used to live in Winnipeg and recently moved back to my home province of Ontario. Thus I was driving a vehicle with an Ontario license plate but with my Manitoba handicap sticker. At grocery stores, shopping malls, and other locations, I was stopped regularly and questioned by other individuals. They wanted to know where I got my handicap placard which hangs from my rear view mirror. In seeing my Ontario license plate, they assumed that the handicap sticker was also from Ontario. They then regaled me with their complaints - that their Ontario permit (a piece of laminated paper) had to be placed on the dashboard and, when the window was open, it sometimes flew out the window and they lost it - or that they used rubber bands to tie it to the sun visor but then they must remember each time they park to lower the visor or else they get fined several hundred dollars. In summary, the complaints were about the design and poor quality of the Ontario handicap permit and the desire to have one similar to those provided in other provinces and states.

Could the Province of Ontario not provide disabled parking placards which can hang from rear view mirrors or else decals

EMC Lifestyle - If you have ever thought of the sex life of wildflowers, and you probably havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you would probably think of bees, pollination and other scientific terms. What you might not think of is a world rife with deception, self promotion, and treachery!

Words like seductive, beguiling and alluring donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spring to mind when confronted with a field of daisies dancing in a sunlit field.

Michael Runtz, a well known and highly respected naturalist and university educator, is coming to the Perth and District Horticultural Society (PDHS) to stimulate (perhaps enlighten is a better word) us with his presentation on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sexual Stigmas and Surrogate Lovers - the remarkable sex life of wildflowersâ&#x20AC;?.

Runtz has been an avid birdwatcher since the age of five. He has worked as an interpretive naturalist in Algonquin Provincial and Point Pelee National parks, conducted biological surveys across Ontario, hosted an international television series Wild by Nature, published 10 natural history books (the most recent is Natural History), and written more than 1,000 newspaper and magazine natural history articles. He currently teaches Natural History and Ornithology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. His highly visual Natural History courses continue to attract record enrolments (more than 40,000 students have taken them) and his work has been recognized through numerous teaching and photography awards.

Noteworthy awards include the Federation of Ontario Naturalistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Service Award, The Friends of Algonquin Park Directors Award, the Council of Canadian University Biology Chairs Distinguished Public Science Education Award, and the Carleton University Lifetime Achievement Award.

Nutrition for the breastfeeding mother

By DIANNE OICKLE

EMC Lifestyle- Breastfeeding is the normal, healthy way to feed a baby.

When a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body makes breastmilk, it is important that she eats healthy foods and gets enough calories to support milk production. A motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet does not have to be perfect to breastfeed successfully. A mother does not need to eat special foods for breastfeeding, but she does need to eat a little more food and drink more fluids to help the body produce enough breastmilk.

What does a nursing mother need to eat?

When a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body makes breastmilk, it is important that she is eating healthy foods and enough calories to produce breastmilk. What does this mean in terms of food? Here are some examples of healthy snacks that can be eaten throughout the day (in addition to regular meals) to make up for the extra calories needed: â&#x20AC;˘ 1 cup of one per cent milk + 1/2 cup trail mix (nuts + dried fruit + dry cereal) â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 cup shredded cheese + 1/2 cup pasta (macaroni & cheese) â&#x20AC;˘ 1 cup of one per cent milk + ½ tuna sandwich â&#x20AC;˘ peanut butter sandwich + fruit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; i.e., banana, apple When a mother breastfeeds, it is not necessary for her to avoid certain foods.

A wide variety of foods in the motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet will mean that the breastmilk is full of flavour, which babies love.

The only time a food should be taken away from the diet is when the mother thinks

that baby has had a reaction to something she has eaten. This does not always mean that the baby has a food allergy. A breastfeeding mother should discuss with a doctor, Public Health Nurse, or dietitian if she thinks the baby is reacting to something she has eaten.

What about fluid?

A busy new mother may forget to drink fluids, or sometimes does not like to drink water. What can a mother choose to drink instead of water? Any fluid will have some water content - milk, 100 per cent fruit juice, and soup are some good examples. A good general guideline is to drink fluids at each meal and snack, and to try having something to drink each time the mother sits down to breastfeed the baby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drink to thirstâ&#x20AC;? is a good rule of thumb- when you are thirsty, grab a drink and drink until your thirst is quenched.

What if the mother does not eat healthy?

If a breastfeeding mother does not eat healthy, it will not affect the quality of breastmilk. The overall nutrient content of breastmilk will stay stable as the breastmilk will draw nutrients from the motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own nutrient stores. However, when a breastfeeding mother does not eat enough food and does not eat healthy food, then the amount of breastmilk produced sometimes may go down slightly.

It is very important not to go on a low-calorie diet after the baby is born in order to lose weight. A low-calorie diet may mean that the mother is not eating enough calories and nutrients for her own health, and it may mean she

Nutrition Tips is tired more often. If losing weight is a concern after the baby is born, a healthy strategy is to continue eating a variety of healthy foods to support breastfeeding, eat less snacks, and enjoy physical activity everyday. Talk to a Registered Dietitian or a doctor about healthy weights.

Does the breastfeeding mother need vitamin supplements?

During breastfeeding, it is important that the mother get her nutrients from healthy foods rather than from a vitamin-mineral supplement. Often during pregnancy, a mother may choose to take a prenatal vitamin supplement. After the baby is born, a mother can continue to take prenatal vitamins during breastfeeding until her current supply of supplements is used up.

After that, healthy foods can supply all the nutrients a nursing mother needs.

Breastfeeding mothers who are vegetarians or who have specific health concerns may have special nutrient needs. It is important to talk to a dietitian to discuss the need for supplements.

When becoming pregnant is a possibility, even during breastfeeding, then a woman needs to take a folic acid supplement in the amount of 0.4 milligrams every day to help prevent birth defects, even if being pregnant isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the plans.

Christmas comes early for this music loving fanatic Musical Musings STEVE TENNANT

a Speakeasy by creatively tipping up the beds, hanging some LED lights, each having different artists perform in every room every 30 minutes or so. From klezmer to country/roots to folk, jazz or blues ... and mixes of each are exhibited.

It’s probably my hitting the big six oh but most players seem younger and younger every year and the quality of performances just keep improving. In their attempts to being heard, groups would set up in the lobby or jam together in hallways. Live music was everywhere .... Yes, it was like Christmas for me.

I sat on the side of a bed mesmerized in one late night room listening to the stellar vocals of Cindy Church (one of Quartette’s members) singing songs from her new album backed beautifully on acoustic guitar by Steve Briggs (Bebop Cowboys, Russell deCarle Trio)... just his guitar subtly surrounding her inviting voice. Following them was Russell’s Trio and then later Wendell Ferguson and Steve Briggs jamming .... I was transfixed, each song like unwrapping another gift from under the tree. There were over 500 showcases throughout the weekend, some of which are multiples of the same artists so you have more than one opportunity to see them. That’s a lot of hearts and emotions being bared in one facility but the dedication, professionalism, great coordination by OCFF Staff and the sheer magic of it all makes it all work wonderfully well.

Arthur McGregor, owner of The Ottawa Folklore Centre for the past 36 years was rightly honoured at the Gala Dinner by receiving the Estelle Klein Award for his contributions to the world

feeling I got all weekend at the Conference in that, from seeing and hearing all the upcoming young players in this unique genre, we are in good hands ...

of music. Over the years he’s run coffee houses and folk clubs, booked countless performers at clubs, concerts and festivals, provided employment to many musicians needing such and been an ambassador for the music world besides being a wonderful player himself.

On Saturday night after Arthur McGregor’s acceptance of the Estelle Klein Award, Borealis Records hosted a Hootenanny upstairs. I stopped by quite late and was moved by the musical history in the room.

Paul Mills (musician and producer of Stan Rogers and so many others), Grit Laskin (Order of Canada recipient, award winning luthier, veteran musician), Eve Goldberg (veteran folkie), Richard Knechtel (veteran children and adult performer and festival artistic director), Bill Garrett (veteran CBC host, musician and one of the founders of Borealis) and in the middle was Arthur (founder of Ottawa Folklore Centre, Canadian Folk Music Awards, musician) smilin’

from ear to ear as together they played standard after standard. Each of them have given tirelessly to helping develop this genre, which those in the know view something like herding cats. On the last tune of the night in the wee hours of the morning, as if symbolically, these veterans acknowledged youth as they all nodded in appreciation as muted trumpeter Mike Bourgeault added some subtle harmony to the mix … a memorable moment with Arthur shining brightly. It was also

raises the bar on player performances. Many in attendance are weekend warriors who somehow fit gigs around their day jobs and family obligations just trying to get to that next step of trying to survive on their music full time. Others are scraping by covering the rent and keeping a vehicle on the road to allow them to maintain their travelling circuits. Toronto Blues Society hosted for example Thursday’s Showcases with a mixture of veterans and newbies. Blues legend Danny Marks was replaced by another Toronto veteran, Paul Reddick due to illness.

On stage later were the newbies 24th Street Wailers who just last year were gorilla showcasing in the lobby of last years’ Conference and as a result have been touring across Canada and the States full-time.

Newbie Nicole Christian’s ballsy vocals and slide were ably backed by Hamilton vet – Alfie Smith’s powerful dobro. It was a lovely mix of blues to start off the weekend.

There are workshops presented throughout the day sessions to help educate musicians on topics like: crossing borders, Making Your Music As Great As It Sounds, Song Placement, Publishing & Royalties, Agents & Managers – If At All?, Website Workshop, Songwriting workshops to name a few. Often veterans will host these training events and provide invaluable information from their experience. My far better half Susan and I are House Concert Presenters so attended a packed room dedicated to this pursuit.

Thirteen Official Showcases happen each night in the large ballrooms of the hotel and are amplified with PA’s, amps etc but the late night sessions up on the two “Music Floors” are virtually acoustic and often this is where real magic happens from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. or later.

EMC Lifestyle - As I admitted proudly in my last column I am a live music geek. I love acoustic music more and more and a week ago attended what can only be called an early Christmas gift by anyone who thrives on this type of music as I do. The Ontario Council of Folk Festivals 26th Annual Provincial Conference (who voted to change their name to Folk Music Ontario at their Annual General Meeting) is a four day affair held in a large hotel – this time the Delta Meadowvale in Mississauga. I’ve attended these conferences for over 10 years and look forward to it more every year.

There were approximately 900 people attending, of which at least 600 were musicians wishing to get booked at festivals, concert halls, clubs, special events north and south of the border. The sense of “Community” is quickly realized by those who join in and the wide variety of musical styles is matched by only by the diverse age range of those participating.

I volunteered at the Registration Desk and utilized these hours to, while checking people in also reconnecting with players I’d met before. They arrived from the Yukon, Newfoundland, Vancouver Island and every other province as well as many States. Few had record companies supporting them but the bulk were Independent Artists in solo, duo and group configurations, paying their own way to strut their stuff. One of the most refreshing realizations every year for me is the apparent lack of ‘ego’.

This gathering is also a rare chance for musicians from across the country to get caught up with one another. Many are on the road touring for 200 plus days a year and so, other than meeting at a festival where others are playing or at a club, most rarely see one another unless by happenstance. Special is seeing performers play in front of their peers which definitely

Each one shapes the others. A single act of kindness will eventually become a rebellion, and a killer will become a hero.

Cloud Atlas is a bold story told on the grandest of scales. It isn’t the story of one character or of one lifetime, but of a number of characters through a number of lifetimes all connected in a myriad of ways. It moves fluidly back and forth across time, and from storyline to storyline. It’s not an easy film to follow at first, but by the end you begin to see all the subtle ways everything fits together, and at the end you’re left utterly and completely awe struck.

This is such a unique experience to see a character not just evolve over the normal course of a story, but to see that character’s soul evolve over the course of multiple lifetimes. It’s an astounding feat, and each and every actor is magnificent. Hanks, Berry, Broadbent, Bae, Sturgess, Weaving, Whishaw, D’Arcy, Sarandon, and Grant are all spectacular.

Visually stunning, dramatically breathtaking, Cloud Atlas is a singularly unique experience. It is without question a masterpiece.

MOVIE: Cloud Atlas STARRING: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Doona Bae, Jim Sturgess, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, James D’arcy, Susan Sarandon, and Hugh Grant DIRECTORS: Tom Tykwer, Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski RATING: 14A EMC Entertainment - Cloud Atlas is one of the most ambitious films I’ve seen. The depth and breadth of its story staggers the mind. Its scope brushes against the sublime. Its vision will haunt you long after the credits have faded.

There’s no way to summarize this film in a few short paragraphs. I can tell you it takes place over the course of a number of lifetimes and across centuries.

It’s about the good and evil inside all of us. It’s about the choices we make, and how those choices can have far reaching consequences.

It questions the dogma that the strong are the rightful rulers of the weak.

If the story has a beginning it’s in 1849 where a young lawyer, Adam Ewing (Jim Sturgess), takes a sea voyage with Dr. Henrey Goose (Tom Hanks). We then come to the 1930s where a young composer, Robert Frobisher (Ben Whishaw), writes to his lover, Rufus Sixsmith (James D’Arcy), of his struggles to complete his masterpiece while under the thumb of the once great Vyvyan Ayrs (Jim Broadbent). It then moves to the seventies where reporter Luisa Rey (Halle Berry) investigates a mystery surrounding a nuclear power plant run by Lloyd Hooks (Hugh Grant).

In our own time publisher Timothy Cavendish (Jim Broadbent) becomes imprisoned in a nursing home by his brother Denholme Cavendish (Hugh Grant). In the distant future we watch a clone, Sonmi 451 (Doona Bae), with the help of HaeJoo Chang (Jim Sturgess) learn the truth of existence, and begin a revolution. And in the very distant future as the last vestiges of humanity struggle to survive we witness Zachry (Tom Hanks) and Meronym (Halle Berry) find hope.

Each soul is connected.

A quaint scene taken recently in Kemptville.

He popped the question in his 1959 Plymouth hardtop EMC Lifestyle - Ron Clark of Caledonia, Ontario, still has fond memories of the 1959 Plymouth hardtop he purchased off a car lot in Simcoe in the fall of 1961: “It was black with a white top and had the 318 cubic inch V8 engine with a pushbutton automatic transmission, a major change from my earlier cars (a ’50 Chev and ’53 Plymouth). My ’59 Plymouth had fender skirts and wheel discs and I added purple ‘mood’ lights which never seemed to help much for me. I must say, though, that it was in this car that I proposed to my future wife Nancy. Maybe those lights brought me luck as we have been married now for 48 years.

“Unfortunately, another major change was in store.

We got married in 1964 and had to downsize to a Volkswagen Beetle.”

More than 40 years later, Ron purchased the convertible version of the twodoor hardtop he owned back in the ‘60s: “I bought my 1959 Plymouth Fury convertible at the BarrettJackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2007. It’s in great condition and has the same power train as my original ’59. I suspect the

interior has been redone, and it’s in the same gaudy copper colour as original.

I believe it is quite rare as only about 5000 were built.”

Both of Ron’s 1959 Plymouths had high sweeping tailfins as they rolled off the assembly line.

The late 1950’s was the golden age of fins on cars, and the Chrysler Corporation offered them on all their cars at that time. I was seventeen when the ’59 Plymouths began rolling off the assembly line, and I can still remember being struck by the handsome imprint of a spare tire on the trunk lid between the two tailfins.

Two convertibles were offered in 1959, the Belvedere and the Sport Fury.

Ron’s car is a Sport Fury and cost $3125 U.S. when new. The 318 V8 was standard equipment. The Fury first appeared in 1956 as a two-door hardtop with lots of horsepower. It came only in white with a very prominent gold trim along the side and quickly earned its reputation as a hot car.

The Plymouth Furys of the ‘50s and ‘60s are highly collectible today, especially the convertibles.

It was a picture perfect day for the annual 2012 Trail Ride in support of the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program. Dozens of riders, and hikers too, came out to enjoy the fresh country air and fall scenery at the Jonses’ farm near Pakenham. Each year, the Riding Program hosts a fundraising trail ride, complete with BBQ and tack sale. This year’s first prize winner was longtime supporter Kelly Barclay who brought in $874 worth of pledges. At left is Amy Booth from the Therapeutic Riding Program and Barclay. The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program has been offering specialized riding lessons to the disabled since 1986.

William Larry Hurlbert died peacefully at the Kingston General Hospital on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012. He was 73 years old.

The retired fire chief held the top position at the service for 10 years after working his way up through the ranks.

During his career as chief, Hurlbert also served as Lanark County co-ordinator.

“He was a very good, caring individual,” current Fire Chief Joel Gorman said. “It will be a loss for us.”

Despite having retired from the chief’s position on Sept. 30, 1988 after a lengthy illness, Hurlbert maintained his contact with his former ‘house’, attending association events when he could.

“He was just a good fair guy to work with,” Gorman said.

That was clearly reflected Sunday, Oct 28 when the

They were mourning a real gentleman who built a reputation for lending an ear and showing compassion when needed.

Mayor Dennis Staples began his political career during the time of Hurlbert’s 10-year stint at the top and recalls him to be a very well-liked and respected man. The mayor learned a lot of background information on the fire service in the mid-1980s when

EMC News – Both sites of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital will lose six beds each as part of ongoing budget cutting.

However, hospital administration is certain that lay-offs will not be likely in order to attain a balanced budget.

“I doubt there will be any lay-off situations,” said Linda Bisonette, interim president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the hospital. She added that early retirement packages have been offered to older staff, followed by “voluntary exits” thereafter.

“We are taking a humane approach,” Bisonette said, adding that the management has already reached deals with two of the three trade unions represented at the hospital, and they are still in talks with the third.

Already, the hospital is working to reduce overtime, though “there will be times when overtime will occur,” said Bisonette.

Bisonette stated that the hospital will run a deficit in 2013, but will likely be showing a surplus by 2014.

“Politically, closing beds sounds bad, that patients will suffer,” said Lynda Hendriks, chair of the hospital’s board of directors. “The need for beds is reduced by the amount of time people convalesce.”

Now, thanks to modern medicine, someone recovering from hip surgery can be out of hospital in two days, Hendriks stated, whereas 20 years ago, their stay in hospital may have been far longer.

“You can function with fewer beds,” said Hendriks.

“Things have changed.”

Perth deputy Mayor John Gemmell had requested that Bisonette present an update to Perth town council on Tuesday, Oct. 23, to quell rumours that had been swirling around about possible budget cut scenarios at both facilities.

Hendriks explained that the hospital had started a peer review on July 13, after meeting

with Robert Devitt, president and CEO of the Toronto East General Hospital, to begin the process of bringing in a balanced budget and “to give us direction. He required a lot of paperwork,” recalled Hendriks, requesting a deluge of minutes, memoranda, reports, and even time sheets.

The process was not only to balance the books but to bring the budget in based on “revenue based budgeting,” said Hendriks, who added that the administration “worked with staff to come up with creative solutions, (to create) a solution that came from within, from the staff, the management.”

As of Thursday, Oct. 18, the hospital’s board approved the peer review and sent it to the Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network), which oversees the hospital.

“In the hospital business, the resources that we utilize… are determined by our physician staff,” said Bisonette.

Along with all of the regular frustrations that come with operating a two-site hospital, Bisonette added that, over the summer, she and her staff have had to contend with the rumour mills in both Perth and Smiths Falls.

“Oh dear, the hospital is bankrupt!” is one comment Bisonette said she heard over the summer. “Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Addressing those rumours was the main reason that Gemmell requested Bisonette and Hendriks’ presence last week.

“People are getting nervous about this,” said Gemmell.

“Rumours are swirling. Hopefully the provincial government will step up and do its job. That’s not council, that’s just me.”

Coun. Beth Peterkin agreed with the need to clear the air.

“When people know only half of a story, they may make some assumptions that may not be correct,” said Peterkin.

Staples was first elected as a councillor and tasked with chairing the fire committee.

“He was very helpful and kind to me,” the mayor said.

Hurlbert followed in his father’s footsteps, who also served as a firefighter, and began his service to the community in 1962 as a volunteer firefighter. Five years later the local resident was hired on full-time and then promoted to deputy fire chief in October 1975.

out there, Coun. Judy Brown noted that the perception game is still one that has to be addressed.

“People may be concerned… how it (bed closures) will affect patient care,” said Brown. “This is not going to affect patient care. This has not been an easy thing to undertake… but it is business as usual.”

The hospital is uniquely served in that it has not one, but two foundations to help in its fundraising efforts, the Great War Memorial Hospital of Perth District Foundation and the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation.

Coun. Jim Boldt wondered if “in your plan… will you be spearheading any new fundraising events?” to help cover the deficit.

“We cannot use fundraising efforts to fund day-to-day operations,” said Bisonette.

“They have to be utilized for projects or equipment.”

Coun. Jim Graff pointed out that his own family has been affected by the shortage of long-term care beds, with his own mother staying at the Great War Memorial Hospital’s third floor while she waited for a bed to open at the Lanark Lodge.

Bisonette said that while Lanark Lodge seems to be perpetually operating at capacity, increased home support may be a better way to

During his years of service, Hurlbert’s voice was heard on a number of important projects from the purchase of new equipment (the fire department still uses one of the pumpers he ordered) to larger endeavours.

“The three-bay addition was completed on his watch,” Gorman said.

An honour guard was established to usher out the late chief’s casket at a Celebration of Life service held inside Trinity United Church this Monday (Oct. 29). Chief Hurlbert was laid to rest in Hillcrest Cemetery. In memory of the late chief, donations to the Children’s’ Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) would be appreciated.

Another aspect that must be considered with our aging population is that nurses have to focus more on their core jobs now and less on social services that patients may want, but which they no longer have time for, as they

once did.

“We don’t have the quality of life services that they have in long term care,” said Bisonette. “There was a time we could do that. But now we have to focus on acute care.”

Bisonette said that if anyone in the community had any concerns, or wanted to address any rumours that they had heard, they can contact her at 613-283-2330, ext. 1110, or via email at lbisonette@psfdh.on.ca.

The program is not about pointing fingers at those property owners who may not be aware of how their ways of life are impacting the environment around them, but to help them achieve a better level of safe water.

“We have some ideas in place… like having conservation competitions for a shoreline makeover, or by certifying those who are helping to sustain their waterways,” he said. “Make it a competition and have them recognized for their ef-

Holman was appreciative of the support of the province, and thanked Clark for his effort in the successful bid for the Trillium grant.

Nov. 11 schedule now available EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual Nov. 11 celebrations in Smiths Falls will combine a little bit of the old and new this year with a strong focus on incorporating all age groups of the community into this solemn Remembrance Day event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to bring youth into the ceremony,â&#x20AC;? explained Carol Levere, Legion 95 president.

In addition to a local teen singing the national anthem this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roll call at the Memorial Park will be read out by students in Lest We Forget high school program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have them escorted by a veteran,â&#x20AC;? Levere said.

Veterans of all units are urged to take part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service. Back by popular demand is last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remembrance Day schedule that allows Veterans with mobility issues the same access to

the event as others. Two local construction companies have donated their time and materials to make sure everyone in the community who wants to take part in the 2012 service can. Sidewalks around each of the three monuments are now complete and ready for usage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are wonderful,â&#x20AC;? Levere said.

Plans for Nov. 11 begin with a small contingent of Legion members who will leave the Legion at 9:45 a.m. to the former arena on Elmsley Street for the first observance and laying of wreaths.

This group will then travel to the library cenotaph where the same ceremony will be held.

The Legion members will then return to the Legion in preparation for the big departure a little before 11 a.m. At this time the Remembrance Day parade will leave the legion to go to Memorial Park for the third and final celebra-

tion. Seating will be available for elderly veterans. Levere was so pleased to see the many veterans in wheelchairs and walkers attend last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service and encourages them to do the same this Remembrance Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With that small distance they can be part of the parade,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Legion community is mourning the loss of veteran, Leo Leonard who for years led the Remembrance Day parade. He died last weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (parade) was so important to Leo,â&#x20AC;? Levere said.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade will begin with the Legion colour party followed by the Gordon Pipe Band, the Veterans, approximately 60 members of the RCR in Petawawa. A number of community organizations such as Air Cadets and Scouts will be joined by members of the public who wish to be part of the parade.

Prevention efforts underway after attempted abduction

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Students at Duncan J Schoular School in Smiths Falls have been encouraged to discuss stranger danger with their parents following the attempted abduction of a five-year-old student last week.

Mark Calder, spokesperson for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) confirmed that letters were sent home with every child in the school encouraging parents to talk about strangers and asking them to arm themselves with knowledge and best practices around people they don’t know.

Strangers “come in all shapes and sizes and some of them are friendly,” remarked Calder.

The school has also enhanced its surveillance on the school grounds following an attempt by an unknown couple to lure a five-yearold female student on school grounds into a white car Wednesday, Oct. 24.

According to a police report, the woman in the car told the girl to get into the vehicle and she and her male driver would take her to her mother.

The child refused and continued on toward her guardian who was waiting nearby. The suspicious vehicle was then

seen driving from the area.

The vehicle is described as a white car with a dent in the rear. The police investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Smiths Falls Police Service at 613-283-0357. Information can also be provided to the police anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Safety tips Below are some safety tips provided by the Upper Canada District School Board.

- Teach your children critical information such as their phone number, parents’ full names and their home address.

- Explain the importance of 9-1-1 and when to call it.

- Talk about what a stranger is, particularly that this person could be very pretty or handsome and very nice.

- It’s important to note that adults rarely ask children for advice, so if a car stops to ask for directions or something keep your distance and don’t take anything from them.

- If someone grabs you, fall to the ground and scream “this is not my father or mother”.

- If you feel you are being followed go into a nearby store or other safe place and then tell your parents when you get home.

The two leading types of fraud in North America are identity theft and real estate title fraud. You may think that you will never be a victim of fraud, but unless you take the right precautions it could happen to you.

Identity Theft In 2009, the Canadian AntiFraud Centre (CAFC) received identity fraud reports from 11,095 Canadian victims, for a total loss of more than 10 million dollars.1 Real Estate Title Fraud Industry experts estimate that the average real estate title fraud amounts to $300,000 and cost Canadians as much as $1.5 billion a year.2 The most common forms are mortgage fraud – when a buyer provides fraudulent information to secure a mortgage; and title fraud – when a person fraudulently assumes the identity of a homeowner and takes over title of the home, sells the property or arranges a new mortgage then takes the money and runs.

Avoid fraud frights with these defensive measures: UÊ ii«Ê«iÀÃ > Ê v À >Ì Ê private. For example, your Social Insurance Number (SIN) is usually required only for tax purposes or banking.

UÊ * ÃÊ > `Ê «>ÃÃÜ À`ÃÊ should never be shared with

Fraud can ruin your finances and personal life. Your professional advisor can provide the information you need and strategies you can use to prepare for the potential effects of fraud.

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO – NOVEMBER 5, 1912 The Postmaster General of the United States and Hon. Pelletier, Postmaster General of Canada are uniting in a crusade against mail order sharks who are using the mails of both countries for fraudulent purposes.

The Provincial Board of Health is about to start out on a big sanitary survey of every city town or village in the Province, with the exception of the larger centres. The work will be commenced on November 15th.

For the past week or two a guessing contest has been in progress at O.L.Smith & Son’s flower store and Saturday night it was closed. The winner was Miss Ida Taylor who guessed the number of bulbs in the glass jar to be 175. The actual number was 174.

The prize was a dozen chrysanthemums.

50 YEARS AGO – NOVEMBER 1, 1962 A total of $107, 600 in debentures was sold by Town Council during a special meeting held on Monday afternoon. This will finance the payment of various local improvements, including $11, 000 fro sidewalks and the balance for asphalt paving as well as new sewer and water mains.

The authority of Smiths Falls recent-amended store hours by-law (No. 3160-62), may possibly be tested in court here before long. The Retail Merchants Association has asked the local Police department to co-operate in enforcing the by-law against five small stores whom, it is alleged, remain open after the hours specified.

The strains of “Home Sweet Home” probably never sounded better as on a Berliner GRam-o-phone that was demonstrated to The Record-News by Archie Davidson, 25 1/2 Lombard street, Tuesday morning.

The machine was built by E.Berliner in 1897. The machine was found on Higginson’s Island on the Big Rideau Lake last summer.

25 YEARS AGO – NOVEMBER 4, 1987 A dramatic increase in the number of deer in Ontario allowed the Ministry of Natural Resources to issue validation tags to 61, 548 hunters to hunt antlerless deer this year. That represents an increase of more than 10, 000 over last year.

Perth OPP supplied the photo of a British 303 Lee Enfield Riffle found in connection with the suspected murder between Sept. 9-12. Police were seeking information that will lead them to the owner of the weapon.

Who is going to send in the clowns now?

EMC Lifestyles - The last place you’d expect to see a clown is at a funeral home.

But that’s where I met the local Tunis Shriner clowns last week. It was their final hurrah of sorts. It was par for the course.

They dressed in their crazy clothing, painted their faces and stepped into their alter egos one last time.

There were mixed emotions; lots of laughs and a few tears, both painted and real ones.

I have seen these guys and gals around town a lot. From covering events for the paper, to enjoying my own time at local fairs and festivals, the Shriner clowns are pillars in their own right. You don’t at-

Weir View LAURIE WEIR tend a fair or a festival without running into one.

Their wives – or the first ladies as they are referred to – are part of the package.

They’re the face painters of the group. Not officially a Tunis Shriner (it’s a men-only group), the women attend the festivals and fairs as well with their makeup kits and paintbrushes. They are the gals you see turning little girls into butterflies, or boys into super heroes. They too, are retiring their tools of the trade.

It’s too bad really, but there are no others following in their clown shoes. These folks say they’re getting too old to carry on the tradition. The youngest clown is in his early 60s, the eldest, 83.

This is not to say that there won’t be other clowns or face painters at various events or festivals – just not from the Tunis Shriners.

Kudos to Pickles and Rusty, Roco, Ronski, J.J., Chipper, Pockets and Roco...

Thousands of children thank you – and I do too – for all the laughs… and balloon animals.

GUITAR NOTES Mr. Briggs tells me my twanging is sounding like music now. I wonder what he

is thinking then, as I’m playing and he’s scrunching up his face with his arms flailing around his head… never a good sign.

“What?” I ask, mortified.

“I’m conducting.”

Ya, OK. My niece, Emalee, joined me this time. I sort of dragged her with me since we were out on the town getting grease all over her million-dollar blouse.

Let me explain… it was photo time, and I thought it would be fun to shoot some images of her down at the Rideau Canal locks. Well, she got a little too close to a crank and it left a nice trail of grease See COLUMN page SF9

10 YEARS AGO –NOVEMBER 6, 2002 Shoppers at the County Fair Mall were given a real fright Halloween night, when a smoke bomb was set off around 7 p.m. in the back entrance forcing a complete evacuation.

Despite its delayed opening and a brief high water closure in June, the Rideau Canal held its own in terms of boat traffic in 2002. Statistics from Parks Canada show 82,484 boats passed through some or all of the 24 locks between Kingston and Ottawa this past summer.

Owners of vacant commercial and industrial buildings who want to take part in the town’s ‘Commercial/ Industrial Vacant Building Tax Rebate Program’ now need only to provide written proof their property was vacant the minimum 90 days to qualify.

Mayor Staples reported he met with Upper Canada District School Board chair Joan Hodge and Director of Education Gino Giannandrea to discuss the status of the site plan for the new high school. The UCDSB is in the process of completing a soil assessment of the 57-acre property located off Pearl and Percy streets.

Staples told council to expect details of the site plan within the next few weeks. “I was encouraged by the level of detail they shared with us,” the mayor said.

NEWS WAR From page SF8

undeclared “conflict.” In addition were the bombing runs and ground attacks into Cambodia and Laos. There was the napalm, Agent Orange defoliation and birth deformaties, the My Lai massacre of women and children.

This year is also the 40th anniversary of my arrival in Smiths Falls as a 19 year-old draft-resister. The term draftdodger doesn’t offend me, but it connotes a shady, cowardly flight from danger. For me it was a necessary physical statement about the courage of my convictions, about the willingness to leave all my family in Detroit and Kentucky, all my friends and all things familiar, to enter a foreign country where I knew not a single person, nor had any idea of where in all of Canada I would attempt to live.

But I could not go to fight a war I had opposed for years, attending marches and sit-ins, speaking out and writing articles for my high school paper, which got me suspended and cancelled from the senior canoe trip.

I committed several felonies under the Selective Service Act: destruction and return of draft cards (three times - they kept sending me new ones. The last one I tore in half and taped to the front door of the local draft board), failure to carry said card, failure to report for a preinduction physical and failure to report for “immediate” induction into the United States

Army. These ‘crimes’ were worth five years imprisonment and $10,000 fine each, but the consequence I most feared was silence and hypocrisy were I to don the uniform. I said no to Nixon and yes to a country that had the wisdom and integrity to not participate in the slaughter of peasants half a world away.

But I was not alone. Estimates of the numbers of others who chose the same path vary between 10,000 and 100,000.

As I sat in my rented room on Smiths Falls Avenue during my first Christmas here (1972) I listened to radio reports that Nixon had ordered the bombing of the HanoiHaiphong corridor - 40,000 tons of bombs in the most concentrated air offensive of the war that killed over 1,000 civilians - and I knew I had more to do.

On a day off from work in March, 1973 I hitchhiked to the American Embassy in Ottawa, strode past the two marines at the door, and renounced my U.S. citizenship in protest of the still-raging war. The staff were stunned: “People die trying to get into our country!” I kept looking above their heads at the huge lighted portrait of Richard Nixon and asked repeatedly for the renunciation documents. They told me that I would never be eligible for any pardon or possibly amnesty and could never again enter the U.S. (except to attend my parents’ funerals).

I signed the forms and left exultant and stateless, not receiving my Canadian citizen-

ship until 1981.

In May of last year I surprised my mother in Detroit on her 80th birthday, the day after Mother’s Day, the first time I’d been home since my father’s funeral in 2004.

Amazingly, the U.S. border guard just glanced at my Canadian passport, noted that I was born in Kentucky and said I should have told him that I was a U.S. citizen, not Canadian. I kept my mouth shut, nodded and began breathing again as he handed it back without running it through the computer. I don’t know if there is still a warrant for my arrest in these post 9/11 times, but at the least I would have been escorted back across the border. I have reconciled with my mother, having in 1985 presented her with her only grandchild: a Canadian citizen.

But I would never return there to live, even if I could.

It remains for me a guilty, contaminated country - even under Obama. By the way, I am sending a copy of this letter to the American Embassy, just to let them know that I’m still here, unsilenced and unrepentant.

I have had a wonderful welcome in Smiths Falls and could not imagine having landed in a better community.

I thank my fellow townspeople - and all of Canada - for the opportunities I’ve enjoyed here and for all the support a once lost and clueless 19-yearold could ever wish for.

Sincerely, Michael Selvey Smiths Falls.

PS: In 1983 I sneaked down to Washington with my wife on our honeymoon to see the Wall dedicated just six months before. To come faceto-face with the 58,261 names of the dead etched in black granite was shocking, and I witnessed the same stunning into silence and tears in all those who approached it. Suddenly it dawned on me that I might be reading the name of a soldier called up and sent to Vietnam to replace me, someone who - were it not for my coming to Canada - would still be alive. This scenario has been working on me ever since. I don’t regret at all my refusal to go to Vietnam and stepping across the border at the Ivy Lea Bridge in Lansdowne 40 years ago remains - apart from fathering my son Tristan - the proudest day of my life.

I assured her I could Photoshop it out of the photo… wonder if they will be able to do that at the cleaners.

Anyway, Bryan Briggs encouraged her to join the academy since she interested in singing lessons.

She’s getting into her own

Perhaps we’ll be doing a duet some day – in the very distant future.

Good luck Emalee Faye (her stage name).

Contact: Bryan Briggs

EXPLANATORY NOTE The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment affects a property of approximately 0.3 ha (0.75 acres) located on the north side of Kilmarnock Road in part of Lot 30, Concession A (former Township of Wolford), and known municipally as 201 Kilmarnock Road. The subject property is occupied by a single-detached dwelling and the Country Christmas Shoppe store.

The property is currently zoned “Highway Commercial-Exception” (C3-3). It was originally re-zoned in 1994 to permit a ‘vehicle sales and rental’ use as the only permitted commercial use on the property. The original commercial use has since been replaced by the existing Country Christmas Shoppe use, which is not a permitted use in the C3-3 Zone.

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would re-zone the property from the existing C3-3 zone to the “Rural-Exception” (RU-6) Zone. Under the proposed “Rural-Exception” (RU-6) Zone, a ‘retail store’ would be permitted in addition to all of the uses permitted in the Rural (RU) Zone.

Chris Saumure, Lori Lawrence come up big at Chamber dinner and awards evening

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Business – The business community came out to salute their own during the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner meeting and awards evening Oct. 24.

Held at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre, the evening honoured Chris Saumure of Guy Saumure & Sons Construction Ltd. as the Business Person of the Year, while Lori Lawrence, owner of Smile Sensations, earned the inaugural Small Business Person of the Year. Receiving this year’s Aesthetic Award was Hunt & Dopson Insurance Group Inc. for the extensive renovations and façade work they completed on their 1 William St. East location in 2011, and Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples and JACK FM radio personality Wayne Cavanagh were each given Community Appreciation awards for their outstanding support of Smiths Falls. Cavanagh also served as emcee for the evening’s festivities.

Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour while Chamber president Saumure welcomed them to the meeting, noting that the organization is currently 280 strong with 15 new members having signed up in 2012.

“Chamber directors and members have been working together to promote Smiths Falls as the community we are proud to live and do business in,” he remarked, adding that the Chamber has been involved in a number of public events, including the annual Victoria Park thank you barbecue, regular networking sessions, the annual golf tournament, as well as a pancake breakfast for CTV Day back in May. They also brought free wireless Internet to Victoria Park and the community centre.

The Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce held its annual dinner and awards evening Oct. 24 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. Earning the top honours for the evening were Chris Saumure of Guy Saumure & Sons Construction Ltd., left, the 2012 Business Person of the Year, and Lori Lawrence, who was presented with the inaugural Small Business Person of the Year award for the success of her business, Smile Sensations.

Coming up, Saumure said the Chamber is working on the Light Up Smiths Falls and Area contest and continue to improve upon their two-yearold Shop Smiths Falls initiative. A social media coordinator position was also created through the local Job Creation Partnership program.

Prior to being served dinner catered by Rob Roy’s, those in attendance had the opportunity to view the Chamber’s brand new website (www.smithsfallschamber. com). Award-winning business strategist and marketing consultant Michael Cimilyan of Paradime, took guests on a tour of the site which provides

users with “dynamic content,” and is engaging, he said.

Features of the site include sections for Chamber news and events, products and services, articles, videos as well as areas dedicated to Chamber members. The open platform design “allows the Chamber to grow the website without incurring significant costs.”

“It ensures whoever lands on the Chamber website, there’s always something new,” Cimilyan added.

Following dinner, motivational speaker Gary Gzik, CEO of BizXcel Inc. spoke to the crowd about generating greatness and realizing that there is unlimited potential to

grow your business.

Eileen Crosbie, the 2011 Business Person of the Year, then took the floor to introduce Saumure as the 2012 winner. The long-time resident of Smiths Falls, who graduated from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) in 1985 and became a commercial pilot. Deciding that wasn’t the career path for him, he returned home and got involved in the family business.

Among his projects are the Best Western Colonel By Inn, the conversion of the former Dominion/Mr. Grocer building at 94 Beckwith St., the McIntyre Woods building at 88 Cornelia St., Cornelia

Court, A&B Ford’s new Perth dealership, Holiday Inn Express in Brockville, as well as the Kemptville Fire Hall, Tim Hortons on Beckwith St. and most recently, the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa. However, the one nearest and dearest to his heart is Collegiate Court in the former SFDCI, which contains 22 adult living units, the Smiths Falls Community Health Centre and Rideau Child Care.

To be nominated for the award, the person must not only be an established business person but also be a community leader, which Saumure has proven he is. He is currently in his third term as president of the Smiths Falls & District Chamber, is a member of the Smiths Falls Economic Development Task Force and regularly supports many local charities and nonprofit organizations.

“His community leadership is best portrayed by his commitment to construct an addition at 91 Cornelia to allow the Cornelia Court Family Health Centre complement of four doctors to be increased to 12 doctors which will alleviate the doctor shortage in Smiths Falls and surrounding area,” Crosbie commented.

“What sets this project apart from other development projects carried out by the recipient, is that this project is not financially viable from a business perspective but is an act of selflessness for the betterment of our community…”

Saumure indicated he was “truly humbled” to receive the honour. “I accept this award on behalf of my family and the great team I work with at various companies,” he said. “…A man’s success is not measured by his assets but measured by family and friends and this beautiful and vibrant community in which we live.”

Saumure then took over to

introduce a new award created this year, the Small Business Person of the Year (for businesses with under 10 employees), which went to Lori Lawrence of Smile Sensations.

Lawrence left a dental practice four and a half years ago to open an independent dental hygienist clinic, Smile Sensations, which has proved to be quite successful and recently expanded to full dental services one day a week with Dr. Irina Smirnova and dental assistant Lisa Power. She is always willing to give back to the community, whether it’s through ‘Gift From the Heart’ initiative, that offers free dental services for those who can’t afford them (she’s a founding participant), or providing dental impressions for the Shriner Identification Program for Children.

“Much learning, much effort and an unwavering commitment has garnered success and recognition in our small business community and the Town of Smiths Falls, of which she is very proud,” Saumure noted.

Being presented with the award was quite a surprise for Lawrence. “I really appreciate it, thank you. I’ve gotten a lot of support from Smiths Falls when I ventured out to do a business plan on this new concept five years ago,” she said. “…I have prospered because in a small town we do know each other and support each other and that is the most important thing.”

Elections were held for the 2012-2013 Chamber board of directors at the close of the evening. The new executive is: president Chris Saumure; vice-president/past president Dave Lawrence; treasurer Eileen Crosbie; directors Millie O’Neal, Carl Evoy, Barry Webster, Sean Lawrence, John Gray, Kristine FairClemmens, John Maloney, Chris Trimm and Cy Wells.

Appleton Alfred Roger Appleton

Born on January 14th, 1928 in Hamilton, Ontario. Roger was predeceased by his wife Vivinne Matte. Roger attended local schools and later attended university in North Carolina. After completing his post-secondary education he pursued a career in journalism and was employed by several newspapers in Canada and the United States. In 1963, Roger moved to Ottawa and obtained employment with The Ottawa Citizen, where he remained for his entire career. His first assignment was court reporter where his quiet humour won him a special place with his colleagues and readers. His next assignment put him in charge of The Ottawa Citizen, City Hall Bureau. He reported and commented on City Hall business and participated on several panel discussions on municipal affairs generally. Roger’s final assignment with The Ottawa Citizen was to organize and administer “Action Line”, a consumers affairs column. In that post he soon attained a reputation for his ability to resolve disputes between consumers and retailers and between employers and employees. He was truly an advocate for the little man. He had the unusual talent of recognizing quickly those persons who were marginalized by society and he assisted them with a special sensitivity and determination. He will be fondly remembered by the many persons he helped, his close friends and colleagues who respected him for what he truly was, a loyal friend, a talented journalist and mostly an advocate of the little guy. Family and friends are invited to join together in a service to honour Roger’s life at the Smiths Falls Free Methodist Church, 573 Hwy 29, on Sunday, November 4th, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. Arrangements are in the care of Blair & Son Funeral Directors, Perth 613-267-3765.

PETERS, William Henry “Bill” - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, who passed away November 7, 2011.

God looked around His garden and found an empty place He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face 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 are hard to climb so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be thine.”

A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest 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.

Love you always, Joan, Bill and Marlene, Peggy and Harold, Angela, Anthony and Carmen, Riley and Aiden

Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family MULROONEY, Linda - In loving memory of a dear daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, who passed away November 5, 2005.

Saying goodbye is difficult.

Sometimes things happen suddenly, quicker than planned, leaving no time to whisper farewell.

Perhaps we should say goodbye more often and with greater resolve...

Through each tender kiss, each heartfelt embrace, each declaration of our love.

Then, should the unexpected happen, there will be no regrets, no grieving over words unspoken, no memories but those of joy and happiness, the eternal blessing of love.

Forever in our hearts Love Mother Eileen Johnston

HEIM, Maria September 4, 1989 – November 7, 2010.

We will miss and love you forever.

If we could have a lifetime wish And one dream that could come true, We would pray to God with all our hearts Just to see and speak to you.

A thousand words won’t bring you back.

We know because we’ve tried.

And neither will a million tears, We know because we’ve cried.

You’ve left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too.

But we’ve never wanted memories, We only wanted you.

Loved and remembered always by Karen (Robert), Bob (Brenda), and Grandchildren

YELLEN, CharlesNovember 3, 2008 Four years passed since that sad day.

When one we loved was called away; God took him home, It was his will; Within our hearts he liveth still.

Sadly missed by The Daye and Reid Families

YELLEN, Charlie - In loving memory of a dear Brother, Brother-in-law, Uncle, Charlie, who passed away November 2, 2008.

It is hard to believe it has been 4 years We would like to hear your voice, see your smile To sit and talk to you a while To be together in the same way Would be our only wish today.

We never ask for miracles But today one would do To see our front door open And Charlie walk through.

Sadly missed With Love always Ted, Linda Joey, Michelle RaeAnn Yellen

Andrewsville Bridge Smiths Falls Legion Poppy decision is still pending Campaign by the numbers

By CHRIS MUST

EMC News - At its monthly meeting Oct. 24, Lanark County council decided to wait for more information before making a final decision to close the Andrewsville Bridge to traffic.

Drummond/North Elmsley Township Reeve Aubrey Churchill proposed a motion to close the damaged bridge permanently, but withdrew his motion when other councillors argued that council had requested staff reports on the bridge which were still pending.

At its September meeting council voted against providing $25,000 (to be matched by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville) to repair the bridge which crosses the Rideau River between the two municipalities. Instead council directed staff to prepare a report to determine the cost of closing the bridge to vehicular traffic but keeping it open for pedestrians and cyclists.

The report was presented to the county’s Public Works

Committee Oct. 3, and council voted Oct. 24 to accept the report for information only.

The report states that converting the bridge to pedestrian use would involve a one-time cost of $13,500 for both counties. This cost includes a railing upgrade, signage, ongoing maintenance, and installation of a permanent vehicular barrier. With the report being received for information only, councillors gave no indication of willingness to spend the money to reopen the Andrewsville Bridge for either vehicles or pedestrians.

The 100-year-old bridge located between Merrickville and Burritts Rapids has been closed since May 4, when it was damaged by a truck exceeding the posted five-tonne weight limit.

At the September meeting, a large contingent from the Friends of the Andrewsville Bridge expressed their disappointment at Lanark County’s decision not to join LeedsGrenville in sharing the cost of reopening the bridge to

The 2012 Poppy Campaign is now under way and we trust that Clubs, Committees, Organizations, Businesses and Individuals, will again contribute generously to this community endeavour.

All contributions are held “In Trust” by the Legion, with the monies collected during the 2011 Campaign being distributed as follows: Balance Oct 01,2011 $6221.08 Revenue $34,762.54 Expenses $2089.00 Disbursements $15,310.51 Total: $17,399.51 Balance September 30, 2012 $23,584.11 Expenses include the purchase of Wreaths, Crosses and Poppies, as well as the cost of stationary, postage and advertising etc.

NOTE! Expenses are lower for the 2011 campaign as the Invoice for the purchase of the Poppy supplies totalling $12,329.10 was not received prior to the year end cut off of September 30, 2012.

Disbursements were used to provide immediate assistance to ex-service personnel and their dependents, bursaries, the purchase of medical appliances, medical research, transportation and related services for veterans, their dependents and the aged.

We thank all those who contributed in past years and trust we will receive a positive response to our letter and telephone solicitations for this 2012 campaign. We sincerely hope that our counter-top boxes and those manned by Legion representatives will provide everyone with the opportunity to wear a Poppy in Remembrance.

vehicles.

Councillor Susan Freeman, chair of the Public Works Committee, noted that in “a very heated, emotional and difficult decision,” council had voted not to spend $25,000 on repairs, but never explicitly stated an intention to permanently close the bridge.

In response to councilor Churchill’s motion for permanent closure, Mississippi Mills councilor Val Wilkinson said, “That’s a big motion to throw onto an agenda” without prior notice.

Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd suggested that the matter be referred back to the Public Works Committee for discussion of what the proper procedure to close the bridge might be, given that it connects two counties. “Maybe it’s not ours to close,” he said.

Churchill agreed to withdraw his motion, and council voted to wait for more information from the Public Works Committee.

EMC News – Who will send in the clowns?

No one now… the Land ‘O Lakes Tunis Shrine ‘Klowns’ and Facepainters are no longer in service.

The men, and their first ladies – have officially retired from clowning around and painting faces at local fairs, festivals, parties and events.

There was still some joking around last week though, and balloon animals were made, photos were taken, and laughter could be heard coming from Lannin Funeral Home in Smiths Falls. It seemed like a fitting place to gather for their last official gig.

The funeral home’s owners Bill and Sue Anne Hilton welcomed the group. Bill Hilton was a potentate of the Tunis Shriners, so he offered the chapel as a place for portraits.

“We’re getting too old for this and there is no one to take our places,” said Ron Stronski, otherwise known as Ronski the Clown.

The men behind the masks are all seniors.

J.J., who is Perth’s John Hauraney, is 83.

“I’ve been doing this for 27 years,” Hauraney said.

“The trouble is, there are no young people coming in to take our place. We can’t do it anymore.”

“It’s sad really,” said Roco who is Robert Cosh, 64. “I will still be a clown though for the Ottawa Shriners. I don’t want to give it up.”

Cosh loves his alter ego.

“It’s a relief to be a clown,” he says. “It gives you a subset… I don’t take things too seriously.”

Jim Cassibo, who is Pockets the Clown, takes after his father, Clarence, who was also a Shriner Clown.

“My father was ‘Pops’,” said Cassibo, now 66. “He was one of the original clowns.”

Cassibo says he gave away all of his father’s costumes.

“It’s gone – as is his persona… the name, everything.”

The face-painting by the women in the group came about the same time.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC THE EMC - SF12 - Thursday, November 1, 2012

Throughout this project, students have been learning many things. They’ve been obtaining the history of the people who structured our diverse society, and the ones that died trying to defend it.

They’ve learned about family members, and how they managed to preserve their names in everyday life. Through sheets of endless data, they’ve discovered locations and regiments, as well as plain information, and who they died with.

Throughout the struggles of managing their research, they do not give up because of a few dead ends. They manage to keep going on this project, and have found key discoveries and interesting factors that make the entire project come alive.

This project, whose concept is similar to the ‘Lest We Forget Project’, which was also designed by Blake Seward, is an important step to remembering the men and women who were once a part of this community. Throughout the years, history has become less valued, and forgotten. The lives and names of these men have become forgotten and lost, and this project allows students to unearth the lives long gone, and bring them back to importance.

For more information, or to contribute to this project, please contact Mr. Blake Seward at the high school.

The Shrine Klowns are as popular as popcorn and candy floss at local fairs, events, festivals and parades. They start in the spring and travel with the women – who have also officially retired as face painters – all over eastern Ontario.

From Perth’s Maple Festival through to Elgin Heritage Days, Maberly and Richmond fairs, to name a few, the clowns are part of the scenery during special events throughout the community.

“You should have seen the first ‘faces’ we painted,” she said with a laugh. “They were white balloons with those little cardboard feet… well the faces we painted were no hell.”

EMC News - On the first day of the brand new SFDCI school year, Mr. Seward’s 11th grade Canadian History class was given digitalized printouts from an archive in Ottawa. These printouts were of files of men from Smiths Falls who enlisted in the RCAF during the Second World War. This project will last throughout the semester.

The project’s main idea is to research different Second World War soldiers from the Smiths Falls area and to write a biography on their part in the military. Some students have also managed to find pictures of their soldier, which helps piece together the entire study.

The digitalized printouts the students have been given contain the men’s enlistment forms, death certificates, letters, forms, reviews and more information, that provides a solid base to begin building up information.

Now, searching online memorials and data bases and flipping through archive pages and other materials, the students have begun slowly grouping pieces of information together, matching pictures to the names, dates with the locations, and the reason why they began, and how their story ended. Many of the names have been in Smiths Falls society for generations, while others are foreign.

Some students have been able to locate family members and other people of interest, and have been given some hands on material, such as snap shots taken through the years, letters, and other precious items of importance.

Volunteer recruitment continues for Smiths Falls warming centre

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The recruitment drive for a winter warming centre inside the Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls continues with an eye to opening in the New Year.

Last week’s information session for prospective volunteers went very well with 26 individuals attending and 10 signing up to support the effort in one way or the other.

“I was pleasantly surprised” with the response, re-

marked Ann Emon, executive director of Successful Transitional Avenues for Youth (STAY) who is leading the centre project.

The Oct. 25 session brought many people out to have their questions answered. Emon said one of the more common questions was a concern of what happened to the clients on the four other days of the week the centre isn’t open.

Emon seeks the warming centre as a first step towards helping to ease the misery of

sleeping on the street for those who feel they have no choice, but she needs the community’s help to make it happen.

Emon aims to have around 25 to 30 volunteers trained before the centre opens in January 2013 and encourages anyone who is passionate about helping their neighbours in need and are able to work overnights to contact her through their website www.stay-lanark.com “It will be a long night just watching people sleep,” Emon admits.

All interested volunteers will undertake a training session in late November with the possibility of a second course in December. Once open, the centre will be open

three nights a week from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. and there are a variety of ways to support the new service besides physically staffing it through the nights. Emon explains the centre is currently in need of bedding and pillows as well as travel sized hygiene products (tooth paste, tooth brush, soap, shampoo, conditioner).

“Things that will make you feel a little bit more human,” Emon said.

The centre will also be looking for volunteers who are able to wash the bed linens, which must be done after each use and supply the laundry soap to do it. Anyone interested in making a donation can do so by contacting them through their website.

Disgraced financial planner to be sentenced in December Dickson apologizes as court hears two emotional victim impact statements Oct. 18 desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – A Carleton Place financial advisor who pleaded guilty to stealing more than $100,000 from an elderly woman with dementia will have to wait until December to find out if he will be sent to jail.

Justice John Waugh of the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth, adjourned sentencing for several weeks after hearing emotional victim impact statements, as well as from the accused himself.

“I apologize to those who have come today thinking it would be all over,” said Waugh from the bench on Thursday, Oct. 18.

Robert L. Dickson has pleaded guilty to theft over $1,000, forgery, uttering a forged document, fraud under $1,000, falsifying/destroying books, and false accounting/ deceiving.

Crown attorney Kimberly Moore requested that Dickson be sentenced to between six and 12 months of jail time, followed by three years probation and that a restitution order be made against him.

“There has to be some custody in jail,” insisted Moore.

“I would submit that a period of incarceration is required.”

However, defence attorney Richard Knott requested two years, less a day, of a conditional sentence, followed by three years probation, so that he can continue to work and make restitution.

The day began with an emotional victim impact statement from Lee McNaughton, son of the late Catherine Fraser, the victim. McNaughton’s sister, Norma McNaughton’s victim impact statement was also heard.

“She was very secretive about her financial affairs,” said Lee McNaughton of his mother. Norma took over her mother’s accounts in 2002, but Dickson continued his ruse. “‘What a great guy,’ my sister would say.”

McNaughton was not under oath, but he stated that the fraud began in 1995, when Dickson withdrew $51,000 from Fraser. That same decade, Fraser was diagnosed with dementia.

“It was the perfect situation for a man like Dickson,” said McNaughton. Over the coming years, Dickson helped himself to $103,000.

“What we want is our money back,” said McNaughton.

“My sister and I are not in great financial shape. We never asked our mum for a cent.”

In fact, McNaughton revealed that his mother was “tight to the vest with her money” and it became a standing joke in the family that he would always receive Happy Feet socks from her every Christmas and birthday.

The jig was finally up for Dickson on March 15, 2010, when Dickson emailed Norma to say that he had stolen the money.

“He did not allow me to grieve my mother’s death,” said McNaughton. “I cannot grieve because I have been seeking justice. (March 15, 2010) is my Groundhog’s Day. I relive it every day.”

As his sister was not present in the courtroom, McNaughton read her statement out on her behalf. “(It’s) probably just as well she is not here today because she had been so emotional about this,” said McNaughton.

“If she (Fraser) was here today, her Irish ire would darken the mood of the court. ‘You have deceived me,’ (Fraser would say)…It took my death for my family to discover your deception.”

When she first met Dickson, Norma wrote that “from my perspective, Bob seemed trustworthy…It was a ruse.

(But) the statements he did bring me seemed authentic.”

In reality, while Dickson painted a rosy picture of Fraser’s investments, “my mum was as poor as a church mouse.”

Norma wrote that she was told by Dickson that he was regularly audited.

She added that, during the course of this ordeal, she had lost about 30 lbs., the result, she wrote, “of a diet of despair and anger…this has changed the way I see society.”

Unlike a bank robber, she noted, “his weapon was not a gun. His weapon was his charm. Do not be deceived.”

Late in the morning, Knott called his client up to address the court in his own words.

“I’d like to apologize to Ms. Fraser’s family for subjecting them to this ordeal,” said Dickson. “They shouldn’t have had to deal with all of this.”

Dickson then went back to the moment in 1995 when it all started to go wrong.

“During a moment of extreme weakness in my life… I made the error of taking those finances,” to cover “personal financial problems.”

He reiterated that Fraser was the only victim.

“I never threatened the McNaughtons that I would not pay them if they went to the police,” said Dickson, his voice quivering, at times cracking. “I acknowledge my guilt. This was a very large mistake on my part, a stupid mistake.”

McNaughton, however, was having none of it.

“He gave the same song and dance today as he gave back then (in 2011),” said McNaughton. “He’s a liar.”

Referring to the pre-sentencing investigative report, Moore noted that Dickson had a “Jekyll and Hyde personality,” and that while Dickson “said he felt bad… (he did not feel) bad enough to stop. Not bad enough to make restitution.”

“Fraud is not a victimless crime,” Moore added. “Sometimes we become a little jaded when we look at these crimes

Moore said she had some “concerns” not only about Dickson not being entirely forthcoming with the family, but also with the police, and how his conviction would impact his family as well, especially his wife, who would be supporting him and other members of their family for the next few years.

“She is 63 years old and has nothing,” said Moore, noting that Dickson misled her as well about their financial and retirement picture.

Moore did concede that Dickson has paid $12,000 of the money back, and Knott later showed a cheque for $5,000, made out in trust to him, to be added to the payback fund, bringing the outstanding amount to about $87,000. Knott said that, at a repayment rate of about $1,500 a month, the outstanding amount owing could be paid off in 60 months.

Moore also pointed out that Dickson, having lost his license to practice his profession, was now working with a handyman service.

“What is Mr. Dickson left to live on?” Moore asked, with his pay going to pay back victims and lawyers. “Catherine Fraser is not the only victim.”

Dickson has handed over his files to a friend in the financial industry in Ottawa, and while he cannot sign off on any legal papers, he is still involved in them.

“Have those clients been told?” of the charges Dickson has pleaded guilty to, Moore wondered.

The defence, however, pleaded with the judge to allow Dickson to continue working. In McNaughton’s impact statement, he had suggested in the 2010 email that he did not want the family going to the authorities.

“The only way I can do this (make restitution) is to keep working,” said Knott, referring to the email. “Keep this between us… No license, no income.”

Knott noted that Dickson had made a full statement to Great West Life, and had opened his books and bank records to them when the family made the company aware of

the situation. Knott explained that Dickson said little to OPP fraud squad Det. Const. Chris Beechey under lawyer’s orders.

“From the moment Mr. Dickson came to see me... he was told not to say anything,” said Knott. Beechey eventually got an order to get the files from Great West Life, and Dickson made no statement to Beechey.

“The reality is that, short of exceptional circumstances, jail is the expected outcome…

We essentially beg for mercy here,” said Knott. “He needs employment. His best prospect is within the financial services. But his license has been suspended.”

Also, Great West Life has not paid him any commissions on any of his files since 2011.

“Great West Life will never pay him those,” said Knott, who added that Dickson cannot sign any documents, handle any funds, and cannot solicit new clients.

“He literally is answering the phone and handling files,” said Knott, who also took ex-

ception to Norma McNaughton’s assertion about rampant white collar crime.

“In terms of around here, it is shocking,” said Knott, before pointing out that the last ‘white collar’ case he had heard of in his professional experience in Lanark County was six years ago during a breach of trust case with a local lawyer. He also pointed to an unsolicited character letter from the Carleton Place Minor Hockey Association which asserted that, while “sometimes good people do bad things, Dickson has done a lot of good things in the community.”

In calling for no jail time, Knott also pointed out that “he will essentially work the next five years with no pay… five years without income is, in my respectful submission, hard labour.” He also noted that Fraser was the only victim, and that his client had also pleaded guilty to the crime, was making restitution, and that this was his first offence, and “there is no chance of it happening again.”

However, Knott admitted that he made sure he got his money from Dickson up front.

“I wasn’t taking this case without being paid,” said Knott, who said he received a “large” retainer from Dickson, who also faces the prospect of a looming civil case on this matter.

“This is a difficult case,” admitted Knott. “The easy case would be to send him to jail. You can’t have confidence that when he is released from jail…we have no guarantee he will find employment.”

Knott and Moore had a heated exchange later in the day when Moore said that Dickson being allowed to continue to manage files was “like saying ‘I’m a convicted sex abuser, so I can’t look after your kids, but I can help out,’” said Moore, to which Knott objected. “I object to my client being compared to a child abuser,” said Knott.

Susan Shirley Program marks first year with Dessert Gala

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC Events - Helping 27 girls from around the region in starting their motherhood on the right foot is reason enough to celebrate and the Susan Shirley Program in Smiths Falls wants the entire community to join in the fun!

On Friday, Nov. 9 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute lobby and cafetorium will be the backdrop for the Susan Shirley Program’s first anniversary Dessert Gala.

For just $10 participants can enjoy a buffet style dessert table along with hot and cold drink options.

For those wishing to support the work of the program, a silent auction table will be in operation until 8:30 p.m. and a number of personal sales consultants from many homebased business companies will be on hand selling various products.

“People can shop there and part of the proceeds they purchase will go back to the Susan Shirley Program,” Nichole Anderson, program director explains.

Companies like Avon, Arbonne, BeautiControl, Gold Canyon, The Pampered Chef and Tupperware will be represented in the lobby.

Inside the cafetorium the

silent auction will hold a number of unique items including a piece from master carver and local resident, Robert Kerr.

A formal ceremony including speeches, cake cutting and Volunteer of the Year Award presentation will take place around 7:30 p.m. For tickets please call 613-205-1643.

All of this celebration marks the busy and fantastic year program staff and volunteers have had this last year. The Susan Shirley Program offers a residential support program for soon-to-be teen moms in need of practical training on the job of parenting. In addition, the Elmsley Street facility offers a parenting training course to anyone who was a young parent and is struggling. Last year they welcomed 27 participants.

The Susan Shirley Program welcomes anyone from the area who is in need of their services to contact them at www.

SusanShirleyprg.ca.

“It doesn’t matter where the girls are from they all need the help,” Anderson said.

In the last year the program has had seven girls take advantage of the residential program. This offering allows girls to stay at Susan Shirley from the time they are aware of the pregnancy to about threeto-four months after the birth.

Having access to a support network of professional staff and

Lest We Forget Veteran tour of Hillcrest Cemetery

other girls in different stages of their child’s birth allows for an ongoing opportunity to learn and is a model that Anderson sees as solution based.

“It’s a much better approach to cause long-term change.

They really need each other,” she said.

Unfortunately, many organizations in the province who offer programs like Susan Shirley are retiring this model due to lack of funding, but here in Smiths Falls Anderson has seen the benefits of residential support and is hoping to expand on this in the future.

“I’m hoping to add another house so girls who need some support but not in home support could stay there for up to a year,” Anderson said.

She really sees this as the second phase of the service Susan Shirley Program offers.

Not only would it provide an escape plan for girls who left unpleasant environments and do not wish to return, but it also allows them to begin a renter’s resume that could help them get their next, permanent apartment with their child.

“That’s really our next goal,” Anderson said.

Anderson hopes by having the independent living space the girls would be able to find their feet and plug into the support system at the program when needed.

LAWS Red Solo Cup fundraiser features Ambush groups like LAWS does.

There are lots of volunteer hours involved for them and we are proud to have a hand in helping them raise funds,” McDonell adds.

“The Red Solo Cup party is really a win-win situation.

People get to come out and have a good time and they know they are helping a great cause.”

Over the years, Ambush, now comprised of Mark McDonell, Riq Turner and “the new guy” Tommy VanCoughnett, has gained a reputation for playing great danceable tunes from country to classic rock.

“We work hard to try to appeal to all age groups,” McDonell says. “Young people seem to be really interested in country music these days, so we play top 10 country tunes as well as classic rock and roll.”

As a testament to their continuing audience appeal, McDonell says 2012 has been the busiest year in the band’s history.

Ambush performs every weekend throughout the year, but they’ve found time to record and release a selftitled album in 2009. One of the tunes’ “My Little Girl” reached number 24 on the Canadian charts. The band was also nominated for a 2011, Canadian Radio Broadcast Award for Best Canadian Country song for their song “Take My Picture.”

Tickets for the Red Solo Cup party are $25 each with all proceeds going to LAWS. They are available at The Vineyard in Smiths Falls, the LAWS shelter, Ogilvie’s Automotive and Fleet in Kilmar-

EMC Events - If you don’t know what a Red Solo Cup party is, you have an opportunity to find out next week.

LAWS (Lanark Animal Welfare Society) has organized a big fundraising dance for Friday, Nov. 9 at the Civitan Hall in Smiths Falls featuring Ambush.

“We are calling it a Red Solo Cup party after Toby Keith’s popular and really catchy song. We thought it was a cute idea and of course, everyone will get a Red Solo Cup,” explained Keri Healey, one of the dance’s organizers.

This is an important fundraiser for LAWS which is located in Smiths Falls. It is one of only two no-kill shelters in the province, Healey explains, adding the shelter never turns an animal away.

“These lost, abused or abandoned animals are cared for until their rightful owners can be found or until we can find them their “forever” home,” she explained.

Last year more than 1,000 animals came through the shelter doors. Monthly costs vary between $50,000 and $80,000 depending on how many animals are being cared for.

LAWS receives little government funding and its primary source of funds comes from individuals, businesses or through fundraisers, such as the Nov. 9 dance.

Ambush will be celebrating its 20th anniversary next year and Mark McDonell says he’s proud of the band’s involvement with fundraising dances over the past two decades.

Federal Liberal leadership candidate touches down in Lanark Vancouver lawyer Alex Burton running as “outside Ottawa bubble” candidate in race

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

under NDP math, one plus one equaled three, and under Liberal math, one plus one equaled whatever you wanted it to equal.

For Burton, that joke no longer applies.

“We can’t be all things to all people,” he said, stressing that the party needs to stress its bona fides at being fiscally responsible, and pointing out that deficits “tie the hands of government. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow.”

Just as the Harper government is very focused on the economy, Burton wants to recapture some of that ground.

“I will focus on jobs and the economy,” said Burton.

“If we want to have credibility with Canadians, we need to talk about jobs and the economy.”

He is adamant when asked about the possibility of the Liberals merging with, or forming an electoral pact, with the NDP. “No merger, no to cooperation,” he insists. “The change we are going through gives us the opportunity to form a new coalition,” with, for example, disgruntled former Progressive Conservatives on the right, and left wing voters who feel left behind, coalescing under the “big Liberal tent.”

“Merger and cooperation as part of an election strategy, non merci,” he added.

As a westerner himself, though, Burton is sure he can resonate with voters in the west, something even Trudeau has conceded, having distanced himself from

Federal Liberal leadership candidate Alex Burton makes his point during a main-streeting session in Perth on Oct. 22, talking and listening to the concerns of businesses. his father’s National Energy Program, which essentially buried the Liberal brand in western Canada for a generation or more.

He is seeking to stress what he calls a “small l liberal vision,” that stresses individualism, rewards for hard work and personal responsibility, while at the same time, staying true to the Canadian ideal of helping out a neighbour in

need.

“Those (values) resonate with voters in every part of Canada,” he said.

Another important plank in Burton’s platform is democratic reform.

He wants MPs who cross the floor to another party to, essentially, be sent home to face the music, and explains their actions to constituents.

But, even though recall initia-

tives have proven popular in his home province, he does not think that they should be tried at the federal level.

“I don’t think that the onus should be on the constituents to recall an MP,” said Burton.

However, he had to stop and think for a minute when asked about MPs who, on a matter of conscience, leave their party to sit as an independent.

“That might be something different,” he said. “They are still representing their constituents,” though he added that in the party-heavy parliamentary system, their voice would be weakened in the house and on committees.

Another election that is closer at hand that will, he promises, do something that “has never been done with Canadian politics before,” is for people who don’t necessarily want to join the Liberal party, but do want to vote in the leadership race, they can now sign up as Liberal “supporters,” and “they’ll have a chance to choose a new leader,” he said, before suggesting that they may want to vote for, oh, say, “someone outside of the Ottawa bubble,” like himself.

He pauses again, thinks, then adds quickly, “are we far enough from Ottawa to be outside of the bubble?”

EMC News – The federal Liberal leadership race came to Lanark County on Monday, Oct. 22, catching Michelle Murphy unawares.

The man who bounded up to her desk as she finished a business call at her store, Fall River Gifts, wasn’t Justin Trudeau or Marc Garneau. He introduced himself as Alex Burton, but, with so many Liberal leadership contests on the go – here in Ontario, in Quebec, federally – it didn’t hurt to allude to Trudeau to remind everyone which race he was in to win.

“There’s another guy who is getting a lot of attention,” admitted Burton during his chat with Murphy during a quick main-streeting session along Gore Street East on the morning of Monday, Oct. 22, when he met with business owners to hear their concerns.

Burton, 44, a bilingual father of two, who works as a lawyer, is president of the Vancouver Kingsway federal Liberal riding association, and stopped in to Perth during a national tour he is making in a red-and-white van.

“I think he (Trudeau) is a little too young,” admits Murphy. “Maybe next time.”

In the meantime, however, as a small business owner, Murphy did have quite a bit on her mind which she wanted to put to Murphy, even if she did find herself on the spot.

“I find most of our laws protect employees,” said Murphy. “There is not enough incentive. (They) make it very challenging,” she said of government red tape and paperwork.

“It’s the world against us,” she added, as Burton nodded, before saying he would simplify taxes for businesses.

Just a few doors down the street, but a world away from the fashionable and chic gifts, surrounded by brightly coloured children’s clothes and toys, Burton’s face lights up when he meets a young lady, Catherine Gauthier, who won’t be able to vote for another 14 years.

Not only is the store different, but so too are the issues.

Melissa Killingbeck asks if something can be done to toughen laws against child predators, feeling the current legislation is not strict enough.

She wants to go so far as for offenders released back into society to be named, and their addresses published.

“I don’t believe in sending petty criminals to jail, because it makes them better criminals,” said Burton, but the crown prosecutor agrees that more needs to be done to protect children.

A minute later, in conversation with store owner Krista Jones, it’s back to business taxes, and the option of what he calls a “payroll deferral,” so that businesses can put off payroll taxes for a month or so during a downtown, and

make it up later, to keep small businesses afloat during lean times.

Earlier in the morning, during an interview at the offices of The Perth Courier on Gore Street, Burton leans forward, with put-on quizzical look on his face, when asked about the entry of Papineau MP Justin Trudeau to the leadership race.

“Who’s that?” he asks, before laughing.

It’s a question he’s heard all too often before, running against the former prime minister’s son.

“Some of the other candidacies will bring attention to the race,” he conceded, with Trudeau obviously front and centre in his mind. “We are not two seats away from government. We are the third party. Canadians have sent a message.”

This tour, he insists, is about connecting with Canadians coast-to-coast and, especially, those who live in the spaces between the big cities – read, rural Canada. A look at the last provincial election map, for example, shows a Liberal party in retreat save for bastions in Toronto, Ottawa and other urban centres like Hamilton.

“You rebuild the party at the ground level,” he says, leaning back in his chair, giving a rebuilding year speech now well known to Liberals.

“You go to the places that the Liberals have not been in a long time.”

The old joke went that, under Conservative math, one plus one equaled zero,

On the weekend, the girls travelled to Potsdam for some an invitational exhibition against the Ice Cats U19 team and handed them a 4-2 loss.

Prance earned a hat trick in the game with a single from Ramsey. Patrice and Saumure split netminding duties.

Jr. A Bears hold on to top spot with wins over Colts and Grads

By STAFF

EMC Sports - Even shorthanded, the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears remain among the top Jr. A hockey clubs in the country this week.

With top goal scorer Michael Buonincontri on the shelf with a season-ending ankle injury, the Bears earned a pair of victories last week, keep them in first place overall in the Central Canada Hockey League standings.

In front of close to 700 fans at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre Friday night, red-hot goalie Patrick Martin collected his third shutout in four starts, kicking out 21 shots in the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 4-0 win over the visiting Cumberland Grads.

The Bears were the far better team this night, leading 1-0 after the first period and 2-0 after 40 minutes of play.

Jesse Blais, Ryan Eardley, captain Connor McLaren and Cole Allard with his first of the season, provided more than enough offence for the Bears who pushed their record to 14-5-0-1 for 29 points, six points clear of Carleton Place in the race for first in the Robinson Division.

The Bears outplayed the Grads all night, outshooting the visitors 37-21 for the game.

Not surprisingly, Martin earned first star honours. Local product Karson McCartney, who had a pair assists, was named second star with Jeff Carroll third star.

Martin, who had been struggling to find his game after a hot start to the year, has been outstanding of late. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen his goals against average drop to a very respectable 3.13 and his save percentage climb to .903.

Bears 4 Colts 2 The night before in Cornwall, Martin was equally sharp, perhaps more so, backstopping the Bears to a well-earned 4-2 road victory.

Unlike Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest, it was the Bears who were outplayed by Cornwall for most of the night. Martin kept his team in it long

enough for his teammates to catch fire in the third period and steal it from the Colts.

Consecutive goals in the third by Connor McLaren (at 5:47) and two by linemate Jeff Carroll (at 12:34 and 16:45) erased a 3-1 deficit and stunned the crowd of 765 fans at the Ed Lumley Arena.

Martin stopped 39 of 41 shots fired his way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including all 16 in the final period â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to earn the victory. His counterpart for the Colts was not as successful, making only 20 stops off 24 Bears shots in the game.

Nic Marchand was the other goal scorer for the Bears who actually trailed 2-0 by the midway mark of the second period.

Tanner Spink and Kevin Hope had the goals for the Colts.

Special teams were a non-factor in this one with both teams going 0 for 3 on the power play.

With both top scorer Chris Maniccia and all-star defenceman Tyler Akeson away at the Team Canada East tryouts, the Bears had trouble generating much offence in this one despite launching 34 shots at goalie Billy Cooper.

The 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made a Lucas Gonu first-period goal, the only shot to get past Bears netminder Jimmy Howe, stand up as the game winner as the struggling 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snapped a six-game losing streak.
