Environmental, health concerns draw record crowd to proposed plastics plant public meeting Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
Mentoring like a pro
Stacey Roy/METROLAND
Sports - Golfing sensation, Brooke Henderson greeted a complete line of senior students from Chimo Elementary School Nov. 13. The local teen spoke briefly to the young people about setting goals, visualizing oneself in that role and putting the commitment toward making it happen. The Grade 12 student at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute will be deciding by year’s end whether to turn pro or attend the University of Florida.
News – The genie is out of the bottle and residents are concerned melting that bottle in a proposed plastics melting plant at the former Hershey plant will result in potential environmental and health issues for all. Residents jammed the Smiths Falls council chambers, filled an ancillary room, spilled out into the hallway and even down the stairwell at a Nov. 17 public meeting hoping to hear the full details from Summit Energy, a company that proposes to melt plastic into its basic element of fuel. This week’s meeting was to consider an additional use under the M2 General Industrial use. Town planner Niki McKernan underlined that the town is only responsible for considering if this is a suitable use for the property. All environmental concerns are to be dealt with by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC). “This is only the tip of the iceberg as far as approvals go,” she told the crowd Monday. The most recurring concern heard that night was health related from those living near the proposed plant and who could potentially be close enough to be impacted by any emissions, whether from breathing it in, eating it through their vegetable gardens or by limiting the enjoyment of their backyards. Brian Marshall of Smiths Falls told the crowd of his extensive breathing difficulties caused by alleged poisoning at his place of employment, and urged the town to refuse the zoning request.
“I won’t be able to breathe if there are emissions of any kind. I’ll be forced to move if this plant comes here,” Marshall said. Jake Jenkins, of Summit Energy, assured the resident that his production will provide low emissions in the order of 10 tonnes a year or the equivalent of what three humans expel annually. The methane emissions come in at .0004 pounds per year. All of this data is currently being confirmed and translated by an engineering firm and will ultimately be submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. Bill Dobson, Montague Township Reeve and town property owner, shared this concern of damage to garden produce, noting the Two Rivers Food Hub that is scheduled to begin at the Gallipeau Centre. The township plans to submit its comments to the town as part of the public process. Jenkins pledges there will be no smell from the process as all gases are captured and turned into fuel. “This is about as clean an industry as you can get,” Jenkins said. “My family wouldn’t be part of this if I thought it would kill them.” His son will be operations manager, while his partner’s son will also hold a key position within the plant. The new company proposes to hire 18 employees in the first phase, mainly full-time with opportunities for part-time youth employment to cover off summer vacations. See PLASTIC page SF3

Shoppers at last year’s Christmas In The Rideau Craft Sale, held in the gym at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls, clearly enjoyed the experience and many tables were cleaned out by noon, but this year vendors are prepared.
sion and just like last year, each vendor has been asked to donate an item for a series of gift baskets that will be raffled off at the show to benefit the Hub. “We will be selling 99-cent raffle tickets for a variety of gift baskets, two of which will include a one month free membership to CardioFit 4 Life classes and a month membership to the Generation Fitness gym,” said Willoughby. In addition, the Mills Community Support Corporation has already put together a Christmas gift basket and has been selling tickets with proceeds going to the Hub. They will be announcing the winner on Dec. 24, just

The treatment and prevention of diabetes is constantly evolving. At the Canadian Centre for Research on Diabetes, we believe that participating in clinical research is an essential way to help advancements in effective diabetes care.

Community – In this constantly changing world, it’s reassuring to see some traditions being revived, especially around one of the best holiday traditions – Christmas. The now annual Christmas In The Rideau Craft Sale is back at the Gallipeau Centre on Saturday, Nov. 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Smiths Falls used to have a craft show at the Rideau Regional Centre years ago. It was a really big one, a fundraiser for United Way I think, and lasted a couple of days,” said Barb Willoughby, who along with Jacqui Stanzel is organizing the revival, now in its second year. In keeping with the original show, Christmas In The Rideau Craft Sale is also a fundraiser, but for the Hub Community Pool. This year is even more exciting because the craft show will coincide with the grand opening of the Generations Fitness gym and CardioFit 4 Life, as well as Natatia’s One-on-One fitness. “We’ll be taking visitors on tours of our facilities and explaining our fee structure to interested customers during the grand opening,” said Kerry Maidment, owner of Generation Fitness. They’ll also be offering healthy snacks and some of the CardioFit 4 Life class instructors will be on hand to answer questions. Meanwhile just around the corner from the Hub, the craft show, which is being held in the gym, already has 40 vendors registered and the organizers are still accepting new registrations. “We’ll accept new vendors right up until the Wednesday before the event,” said Stanzel. As it stands, proceeds from the vendor registration go to the Hub and so far the variety of vendors that have committed to taking part in the show run the gamut of crafts. “We’ve got baked goods for people and dogs, we have glass art, handmade Christmas cards and original handmade children’s clothing. We have handmade wooden ornaments and pens, we have a florist with Christmas and other arrangements. We have quilts, totes and baby bibs. We’ve also got two soap makers, jewellers and handmade scarves and wraps among other things, so far,” said Stanzel. The one-day event is free admis-
Big weekend in Perth, Lanark for Build a Mountain of Food campaign Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
News – It was a challenge that was accepted and smashed by grocery stores in Perth last weekend as the mountain of food is getting larger. Organizer Hugh Colton said he was thrilled with the success of the overall weekend in Perth and Lanark, despite the sluggish start. “Things really started to pick up later in the morning,” Colton said. In Lanark, the totals are on par with last year with is a good thing, considering the tighter budgets that people are having to deal with this year with increased financial pressures from utility and grocery bills. “We had a great turnout in Lanark,” Colton said. “We had a $500 cash donation from the Civitan Club, and another $600 from Scotiabank, Lanark, and then out of the blue, an anonymous donation of $1,500 came in.” Colton gave kudos to Serendipity Farm whose owner walked in with a bag full of groceries. For the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry, a donation of 585 pounds of
food was presented to the organization, along with $2,665 in cash. Colton said that cash in food donations made this year’s event equal to last year’s totals. In Perth, the challenge for the grocery stores was met with enthusiasm. At Foodsmith, 2,000 pounds of food was collected; Brownlee’s Metro, 3,000 pounds, then at Giant Tiger, 4,666 pounds were collected. Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer collected 5,000 pounds of food to win this grocery store challenge. And other great things happening in Perth included 1,200 pounds of food collected by Algonquin College’s Police Foundation. And on the day, while set up at these various locations, almost 10,000 pounds of food were collected along with $3,600 in cash donations. The Perth total included 738 banana boxes filled with food totaling 28,776 pounds of food for the Good Food Bank, along with $4,056.80 in cash donations. Wendy Quarrington, manager of the Good Food Bank, located at the Table Community Food centre, she
was thrilled with the outcome. “As always Hugh’s Build A Mountain of Food rocked it on Saturday, our warehouse is full and we broke last years pound count,” she said. At a time when most desperately needed, Quarrington said they were at the end of their budgeted amount in September. She was confident that the food collected during the Build a Mountain weekend would take the food bank through the holiday season and into the new year. At the end of week two, the donations are: 44,592 pounds of food and $5,800.16. Coming up This weekend, the Build a Mountain of Food will be in Smiths Falls at four locations including: Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, Giant Tiger, Food Basics and the Garden Market. All donations will be given to the Smiths Falls and District Community Food Bank. Colton was happy to announce four other food drives going on in town during the weekend for the cause. The Rideau Lakes Artists Associa-
tion is hosting its second annual Under $100 art show at the Smiths Falls and District Memorial Community Centre Friday through Sunday. They are seeking food donations. The Smiths Falls and District RedHawks boys basketball team is hosting a tournament this weekend at the high school where donations of food will be accepted for this campaign. The Smiths Falls Santa Claus parade Saturday will feature the Build a Mountain of Food float, accepting donations along the route.
Mayor-elect Shawn Pankow will have his Tesla car on display at the REAL Deal Store in Smiths Falls. He says he will give people a ride if they like. A donation to the food campaign would be welcomed as they try to fill the Tesla. “I think we should try to fill the car with food for Hugh,” Pankow said. He and his Tesla will be at REAL Deal Store from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. R0013007690_1120

Brown was first elected to Barrie city council in his early 20s and though he lost his first run for a House of Commons seat in 2004, he was elected in 2006. A Forum Research poll for the Toronto Star of Tory leadership candidates placed Brown in a three-way, last place tie at five per cent with Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli, and LambtonKent-Middlesex MPP Monte McNaughton. Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott lead the pack at 26 per cent of voters, while Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod was in second place at seven per cent. The poll was done via response phone calls of 1,104 Ontario voters at the end of October, beginning of November. The poll is considered to be accurate to within three percent-

News – Barrie Conservative MP Patrick Brown wants to be seen as a straight shooter – not as the leader of a party that shoots itself in the foot. “We have become very good at shooting ourselves in the foot,” said Brown, during a campaign stop at Chuckles Jack restaurant in Smiths Falls on Tuesday, Nov. 18, as he carries out his run to replace former Ontario Progressive Conservative party leader Tim Hudak. “We have to look back in the mirror.” Part of the reason for the party losing its fourth election in a row – under three leaders – is that the grassroots were not consulted on major policy announcements that seemingly came out of the blue,
like Hudak’s promise to cut 100,000 government jobs, or John Tory’s promise to fund faith-based schools in 2007. “I want to let the membership vet policy…Never again will we have a platform unless it is vetted by the party presidents and candidates,” Brown said. Had, say, the 100,000 job cuts proposal been put before such a convention, Brown is certain that the grassroots would have said, “Are you dreaming? That won’t sell.” Interestingly, the 100,000 job cut proposal was announced in his presence, during a campaign stop at the Barrie Country Club on May 9. “We allowed a back room culture at Queen’s Park to run the party,” he charged. He stressed repeatedly that, “I am the only outsider in the race.”

that, having worked as the chair of the federal Conservatives’ Greater Toronto Area caucus, he saw up close how Harper was able to build coalitions. “You’d be tough pressed to find a cop who supported Tim Hudak,” he said. “You’d be hard pressed to find a cop not supporting Harper…We are the party of public safety.” For more on Brown’s campaign stop, see next week’s paper.

that he was in no rush to “try to win over people who will never vote for us.” Instead, he wanted to win back people who he feels had been sidelined by the party in the last two elections. The Tories got into a mid-campaign spat with the Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA), which, for the first time ever, ran campaign ads against the Tories. When he spoke to Senator Vern White about the battle, White, the former Ottawa police chief, said that part of the reason for the falling out was because “no one asked us for our input.” “I want to bring them back into the family,” he said, adding that even nurses wanted to talk to the party and make suggestions. Clearly a great admirer of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, he observed

Station Theatre announces outstanding schedule for 2015 season several other women before her. When a series of circumstances leads Cecily to realize the ghastly fact, she finds herself caught like a rat in a trap, unsure of how she will escape! First-time director Sheila Jasiak brings Nana’s Naughty Knickers to the stage from June 4 to 14. A comedy written by playwright Katharine DiSavino and showing at the Station Theatre by permission of Samuel French Inc. In it, Bridget and her Grandmother are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favourite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five boroughs. Mid-summer brings a play for young and old: the Canadian premiere of A Little Princess. Book
by William J. Brooke, music by Eric Rockwell and lyrics by Margaret Rose, by special arrangement with the authors. Directed by Lynda Daniluk, the play runs from Aug. 13 to 23.The story is suitable for the whole family. When her father, Captain Crewe, has to leave, young Sara Crewe is placed into the care of Amanda Minchin, the head of an exclusive private school for girls. Sara lives as a privileged member of the school due to her father’s wealth until he dies and leaves her with nothing. Then her life goes from one of plenty to that of a poor house maid. Mrs. Minchin agrees to keep her on at the school, but in the absence of her tuition payments, she has to work for her keep. Sara also refuses to accept that her father is dead and continues to try to locate him. The SFCT’s fall offering is another hilarious Norm Foster comedy, Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak, directed by Katharine Coleman. The play,
which runs from Oct. 15 to 25, begins when convicted husband killer Sadie Flynn is released from prison. She then decides to get off the bus and make her new home in the small town of Big Oak. Soon after her arrival, strange things begin to happen – to the delight of audiences everywhere. The 2015 seasons ends with another treat for the whole family: our Christmas pantomime, Puss In Boots by Ben Crocker, by arrangement with the author. The panto will be directed by Emily Duberville and run from Dec. 3 to 13. Patrons can now purchase a season ticket in voucher form for the six plays described above. The theatre is offering a “Six-Pack Flex Pack” for just $99, meaning that playgoers can select how they want to use their six vouchers to redeem tickets for any of the 2015 plays. The deal – which is good up to the deadline of Feb. 22, 2015 – offers a saving of almost 20 per
cent compared to the regular adult ticket price.

House tour funds enrich education in Lanark County administration. As a tour guest, you can be part of making the dream of post-secondary education possible for deserving candidates. For the last two years CFUW has also provided art supplies to a volunteer art teaching program at a local elementary school. Two CFUW members, who are artists, do the teaching. They donate their time and expertise because the arts are underfunded and because many teachers feel unqualified to teach art. For some stu-
dents who shine in the arts, the confidence gained in such a program can transmit to other areas of learning. CFUW also supports libraries and literacy programs. It is a real live win-win scenario. While you experience an insider’s view of lovely homes, beautifully decorated and enjoy the ambiance of beautiful music – and let’s not forget the cookies – you can take delight in knowing that you are helping further the cause of education in Lanark County.

Perth seems to have an unlimited number of lovely heritage or heritage inspired homes. The extra touches are what make this tour shine.

Noteworthy this year is the presence of Juno award winning singer songwriter James Keelaghan. It wouldn’t be Christmas without delicious cookies and these will also be available courtesy of the Sunflower Bake Shop. The whole community supports the event as evidenced by the specially priced lunches offered to ticket holders by St. James Anglican

Precautions rise as temperatures fall
E
ditorial – Even though winter does not officially begin, the arrival of snowy weather throughout our coverage area on the weekend served as a reminder that it’s going to get a lot colder before we will be able to enjoy again the comparatively balmy conditions experienced on Remembrance Day. With that in mind, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is offering tips for dealing with cold weather. Some of them might seem to be common sense items that do not need to be restated each year, but there’s no harm in providing a seasonal refresher that could end up being of value to residents of the tricounty area. For example, the health unit reminds us to be aware of how medications or health conditions might increase a person’s risk of being injured or hurt by winter weather conditions (and especially the cold). There are also dangers associated with using ovens or space heaters as heating devices. There are also the usual precautions to
keep in mind: wear layers of warm and dry clothing, cover exposed skin surfaces in the outdoors and maintain a heated environment with temperatures at or near 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit). It might seem a bit early in the pre-winter season to think about hypothermia, but anyone who is exposed to the elements for long periods of time and whose body temperature goes too low could be in real danger and require immediate treatment. Being aware of the signs of hypothermia (shivering, loss of memory, slurred speech, lethargy and loss of consciousness) is a start. Someone who is experiencing hypothermia might not be able to think clearly, so it could be up to others to recognize the signs and seek medical attention right away. For tips on dealing with cold weather, visit www.healthunit.org or call 1-800660-5853. Winter is a fact of life with which most Canadians have come to terms, but a reminder of how to cope with low temperatures and wind chill is a good thing.

Often Aunt Lizzie would tuck in a piece of new material for Mother, knowing full well it would be put to good use, or there would be one of her purses that looked like it had just come out of the showcase of an elegant store. Audrey and I had settled ourselves at the kitchen table thumbing through Eaton’s catalogue. Father, as usual, not the least bit interested in the box, had moved to the rocking chair by the Findlay Oval with the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mother, as organized as ever, placed the clothes in matching piles, so there was a heap of sweaters, shirts, odd pants, and an

assortment of odds and ends she would find a use for. Nothing was wasted. Audrey and I paid scant attention to the box or what was being taken out of it. Then Emerson asked, “What is it?” Mother said it was a raincoat. I glanced over
to the centre of the kitchen floor where all the action was taking place. None of us owned a raincoat, for heaven’s sake. If we got wet walking to or from school, we got wet, and that was the simple truth. Mother held it up. “It looks
like it was made for a midget,” Everett said, obviously very relieved it would never fit him. As one, four pairs of eyes left the box and settled on me at the kitchen table. “Oh no,” I wailed, See MARY page 9

frontline communities known as “sacrifice zones” whose health and livelihoods are affected by air and water pollution as a result of the extraction and processing of fossil fuels. These polluters included oil refineries in Wilmington, California and Toledo, Ohio, open petroleum coke piles in southeast Chicago, and fracking wells and waste injection sites in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Other messages came from people affected by the severe ongoing drought in the southwest and those fighting the Keystone XL pipeline in Nebraska. At our closing event on Nov. 1 we shared stories from all the states we traversed and symbolically left our shoes on the stage. While the physical demands of walking many miles every day and camping most nights is something that many people told me they couldn’t do, many of my Canadian friends were happy to sup-

“I’m not wearing that to the Northcote School.” Bad enough that I had to wear boys shoes that came from Regina. Mother told me to go over and try it on. It was as black as a boot and stiff, boy was it stiff, with big silver clips all down the front of it. “Be great for Halloween…too bad it’s over,” Emerson snorted. I prayed on the way over to the pile of clothes that it wouldn’t fit me. Mother fed my arms into the coat, did up the clips and declared it a perfect fit. The inside was exactly like the underside of our oilcloth on the kitchen table. I told her I was smothering in it. I told her I couldn’t bend my arms. I told her it smelled just like the tires on the Model T. I told her I would rather be caught dead than be seen in something called a raincoat that I’d never even heard of before! As happened so often in my young life, my sister Audrey saved the day by saying I wouldn’t have to worry about it anyway, because winter was just around the corner, and I would soon be in my melton cloth pants and jacket. “Nobody wears a raincoat in the wintertime,” she said. “And by next spring you will have grown at least a foot, I’d say, and it won’t
port my 100-day participation in the climate march. Each day I wore a photo of the children or grandchildren of my supporters and then carried a banner made up of all the photos into Washington. While we marched an average of about 15 miles per day, I walked 22 miles (35 km) in one day, once. The “spirit marchers”, who marched every step of the way from Los Angeles to Washington, DC often marched over 20 miles in a day. At 71, Miriam Kashia was the oldest and only female spirit marcher. No matter how tired she was or how much she hurt, she kept marching. She inspired me to keep going when the going was tough. I hope that you will catch the fire of passionate determination to take your own actions on climate change. Stay informed about the climate crisis and how you can do more to solve it. The Climate Reality Project Canada has hundreds of volunteer climate leaders who are availfit you anyway.” Well, Mother wasn’t about to waste a perfectly good piece of clothing that came in the hand-me-down box. She hated mice with a passion and even though everything was battened down in the summer kitchen, like the wood lid on the sauerkraut barrel and the tin boxes that held frozen pies and cookies, she was never sure the mice couldn’t find a way to invade what would be going into our mouths. The next morning when I went to the summer kitchen to bring in wood for the wood box, as I did every morning, there was the raincoat draped over the sauerkraut barrel, with the round wood lid squeezed tight on top of it, offering further protection from the field mice which came into the summer kitchen to avoid the outside elements. I would never know if Mother used the raincoat on the barrel because she actually feared a mouse would get into the barrel. Just maybe she figured having to wear boys brown brogues to the Northcote School was punishment enough. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Interval House encourages community to take part in 16 Days of Activism News – Over the past 35 years, Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) has continued to engage in the good fight to end violence against women and their children. Through programs, services, public advocacy, political action, education, and community engagement we continue to make every effort to ensure that women and children’s voices and lived experiences are heard. Nov. 25 is recognized as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The 16 days that follow are referred to as the 16 Days of Activism. During these 16 days leading to Dec. 10, which is
Human Rights Day, we are all called upon to take action to end gender based violence. As we recognize and honour our 35th year of service and as we approach the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre Dec. 6, we want to engage as many people as possible in taking action. Last year, Lanark County Interval House supported the Purple Scarf Campaign, using the scarf creatively to engage leadership and we ended up with a great poster showing many faces of those committed to end violence against women. This year, it seemed quite fitting,
being an anniversary year, to engage and challenge the many sectors that are also impacted by violence whether in their homes, communities, educational institutions and/or work places. We have chosen 16 sectors and we are asking you, encouraging you, and we will support you, to do your part during the 16 days to make it clear that you don’t tolerate violence and hate in your community. During the 16 days engage your workplace and do something! Perhaps attach a statement to each paystub related to violence, host a public education lunch with LCIH staff and honour the issue, gather your col-
leagues and review your violence in the workplace policy, survey your team to learn about those in your sector impacted by violence, host an event, raise funds for your local shelter, donate holiday gifts, or sponsor a family. Most importantly, have conversation, as we are all impacted by violence and we are all equally a part of the solution. So please find your way to honour this solemn occasion and lived reality by finding your passion to take action to end violence. Let us know your plan, how we can help and how we can share your actions to effect change and inspire others!
We appreciate your ongoing support and we are confident that together we can continue to make a difference! For more information, visit lcih. org. Submitted by Erin Lee, executive director, Lanark County Interval House.

Community – Dec. 6 marks the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, a day recognized annually in Canada as the National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence against Women. Fourteen women were murdered by a lone gunman walking through the halls of l’Ecole Polytechnique, identifying the reason for his crimes as simply that they were women who dared to pursue an education and training in a career traditionally held by men. Each year, Lanark County hosts an event to honour not only the women who lost their lives in Montreal but also for the women and children in our own communities who live with violence in their homes or who have been victims of violence in the past. This year’s event is being hosted by the Survivor Engagement Project of Lanark – a group supported by Lanark County Interval House and the Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence (SADV) Advisory Committee of Lanark County.

WHEN IT COMES TO ALCOHOL...
Do you know about CANADA’S LOW-RISK DRINKING GUIDELINES?
ottawavalley .COM
Visit our website, click the calendar and start posting events FREE!
These low risk drinking guidelines can help you make decisions about drinking alcohol. Knowing your limits and standard drink sizes, can help you make the right decisions for you. When it comes to alcohol, size matters. Understanding standard drink sizes matters since some drinks have more alcohol in them than others; here are some things to keep in mind: One standard drink means 1, 12oz bottle of 5% alcohol, beer, cider or cooler; 1, 1.5oz shot of 40% hard liquor (vodka, rum, whisky, gin, etc.); 1, 5oz glass of 12% wine. Women should drink no more than 3 drinks on any single occasion. Men should drink no more than 4 drinks on any single occasion. To reduce long-term health risks, women should drink no more than 10 drinks a week, and men should drink no more than 15 drinks a week. Remember that a cooler, beer or cider may have more than 5% alcohol which means it is not a standard drink.

Downside to making Remembrance Day a national holiday Lifestyle – As my son Craig and I stood with more than a thousand other people at the cenotaph in Carleton Place last Tuesday morning, I couldn’t help but wonder what the crowd will be like next year if Nov. 11 (Remembrance Day) becomes a national statutory holiday? The turnout this year, on the most beautiful weather day I have ever encountered on Nov. 11 was impressive. Veterans were joined by entire school classes and hundreds upon hundreds of

Meanwhile, at the National War Memorial in nearby Ottawa, a throng estimated at 50,000, double last year’s attendance, was on hand to take part in the national Remembrance Day ceremony. Among them was the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II. The Ottawa turnout undoubtedly benefited from the wave of defiance and patriotism which has swept the country in the wake of the slayings of two Canadian soldiers by radicalized murderers last month. One of the victims was standing guard at the National War Memorial when he was shot to death by a man who later died in a hail of gunfire after storming into the Centre Block of Canada’s Parliament Buildings. Those shocking crimes have galvanized Canadians who were already showing renewed and growing support for our military. All things considered I can understand why some people want Nov. 11 to be further recognized by making it a national holiday. It appears that could happen as a private members’ bill wends its way toward final reading in the House of Commons in Ottawa. I believe when the question is put to the 308 members of Canada’s Parliament it will be difficult for them to say anything but “Yes” to the final proposal. It is now being discussed at the committee level after passing second reading in the House by a huge 258-2 margin, just prior to this Remembrance Day. Nov. 11 is already a holiday and paid day off in all provinces and territories except Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Manitoba. It would be up to those four provinces, representing slightly more than half the country’s working population, to change their labour codes to accommodate it. The bill would need to be finalized before the next federal election, scheduled for next October, to be law in time for Nov. 11, 2015. Legion opposed This certainly isn’t the first time the idea of a Remembrance Day holiday has been put forward and the Royal Canadian Legion, the country’s largest veterans’ organization, has wrestled with this question on a number of occasions over the years. I believe that without the support of the Legion this idea should be voted down. And contrary to what many people believe the Legion is opposed to making Nov. 11 a national statutory holiday. The Legion Dominion Command voted on the same matter at its annual convention in Halifax in 2012. The motion was defeated. This past weekend the Legion’s Ontario executive held further discussions about the idea. They too are firmly opposed to the plan. A friend of mine who serves on both the provincial and national executives told me Monday that all Legion branches in the province have been asked to notify their MPs about the organization’s stand. He says there is apparently still time for the matter to be debated

further before a final vote is held in the House of Commons. Legion members are opposed to the proposal because they see a major downside to making Remembrance Day a national holiday. It is the same objection I have written about previously in this newspaper. And it is why I too am totally opposed to the idea of a national holiday on Nov. 11. The concern is a basic one but it is also critically important. If Remembrance Day becomes a national holiday will Canadians treat it the way they do other holidays and stay home instead of participating in Nov. 11 ceremonies? That is the concern and I believe it could happen. When Remembrance Day falls close to, or on either side of a weekend, will people simply view it as a reason to enjoy a long weekend away? Will many Canadians who were previously moved to become involved in Remembrance Day observances choose to do other things with their family and friends and ignore the special meaning of Nov. 11? Those are worrisome questions for those of us who staunchly support this important day on the annual calendar. Like many others, I fear public support for Remembrance Day and the wearing of poppies, the blood red national symbol of remembrance, could be eroded if this idea is approved. I feel the holiday proposal is well-meaning, but poorly thought out. Consider this! In recent years schools have become more and more involved in activities leading up to and including Nov. 11. Veterans are invited to our schools to speak to children and educate them about the sacrifices made by so many Canadians in defence of our ideals and in support of peacekeeping and other military initiatives around the world. Children can relate to Remembrance Day even more now considering Canada’s involvement in the war in Afghanistan and the current mission to damage the growing capabilities of terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria. Young people can very easily view the world wars as ancient history. It’s impossible to ignore the current role of our military however. There is a young, captive audience who have become more and more interested in the meaning of Remembrance Day. When Nov. 11 falls on a weekend the number of school age children present is noticeably smaller. During the week (obviously most Remembrance Days are on week days) school classes are encouraged to go to the cenotaphs (War Memorials) in Canadian communities and take part in the observances. Either that or ceremonies are held in school gymnasiums on or before Nov. 11. Opponents of a national holiday are worried this upward trend in support will be diminished by this action. Worse still is the aforementioned possibility that Canadians in general will gradually treat Remembrance Day as just another holiday and do other See COLUMN page 20

things instead of participating in ceremonies. I for one think it is too big a chance to take. Toying with the increasingly positive public perception and involvement in Remembrance Day is a bad idea! A personal thank you My father Howard first arrived in Ottawa on Nov. 10, 1950 to prepare for a new job at the federal government Printing Bureau (the King’s Printers). The next
day he left his hotel and went to the nearby National War Memorial to attend the Remembrance Day service. Among the participants was then Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent and Viscount Alexander, the Governor General. Dad told me there were only a few members of the public on hand to view the solemn ceremony. It was just five and a half years after the end of World War II. Canadians were tired of war and they were not nearly as invested in Remembrance Day.
My father would have been so proud to hear that 50,000 people took part in this year’s ceremonies at the National War Memorial in his adopted hometown of Ottawa where he lived for 64 years. My beloved father died on Nov. 7, four days before this Remembrance Day. Dad was 84. He was a wonderful, supportive husband to my mother Molly and he was a shining example for me, his oldest child along with my brother Randy, my sisters Linda and Susan, his five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

News – For generations, hunters and fishermen in this area have passed their skills and traditions onto their children. But a recent study of certain Ottawa Valley areas surrounding Ottawa shows that climate change threatens not only their way of life, but that of many others. Called Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for Aquatic Ecosystems in the Mississippi and Rideau Conservation Authority Watersheds, the study shows that native fish and animals face extreme challenges. Northern pike and other fish, along with the American coot (similar to a duck) and other animals, will see their birthing areas flash-flooded then dried out. And not just in the distant future, but now. “Climate change is impacting aquatic ecosystems,” reads the first line of the study, whose lead scientist is Cindy Chu of the University of Toronto. “Water temperatures are warming, species ranges are shifting and trophic dynamics are changing.” Temperatures have risen one degree since 1950, according to the provincial governmentbacked study. The expectation leading up to 2040 is that short periods of heavy rainfall will continue, even intensify. The water will wash away quickly, taking with it small streams where fish such as the Northern pike deposit their eggs. And even the cold lakes and rivers where pike and lake trout find refuge from the summer sun will continue to warm and evaporate. In 100 years the temperature is on pace to increase by 4.5 degrees. The land, having retained little water, will parch and cause a withering of native plant life, says the study. Wetlands, which act as sponges and habitat areas for the American cote and other wildlife, will continue to shrink. “These changes will significantly impact the quantity and quality of the wetlands, streams and lakes in this region,” reads the study. Retreating wetlands will likely threaten homeowners, too, according to Jackie Oblak. “The projections are that droughts will increase in frequency and length of time,” said Oblak, the study’s spokesperson. “Wetlands have a number of functions such as habitat for animals, yes. But they also mitigate the effects of extreme rainfall
$
2013 Chevrolet Malibu LS The local effects of climate change are shrinking the American coot’s natural habitat. Ducks, fish such as the northern pike and others face an increased risk of disappearing from the Ottawa Valley, which would dramatically change hunting and fishing traditions that have been passed on for generations. events. They absorb quick influxes and release gradually. “Basements are not flooded because of that wetland down the road. Roads like Dunrobin (that washed out twice in two years) don’t have to be repaired because a wetland was protected.” Upside of climate change There could be positives come out of global climate change, Oblak conceded. Warmer temperatures are good for grain farmers. Plants and animals from warmer regions could fill the void left locally. And as the tree line moves closer to the Arctic, more wetlands and habitat will open northward for animals facing threats here. Jokingly, Oblak said she isn’t a fan of winter, which is one good thing about global warming in Canada. But the joke doesn’t last long when it comes to species attempting to adapt to the rapid changes. Invasive species such as zebra mussels face no native predators, thus wreak havoc. The pine beetle jumped the Rockies and is moving across the boreal forest, killing massive tracts of greenery. It will likely reach the Ottawa area, thanks to climate change. More large insects, lizards and exotic plants could arrive without the wall of long, cold winters in place. Be prepared The key for humans, Oblak said, is the acceptance of climate change as a fact. It must move beyond the scientific community, she added, stressing that politicians and all sectors of society have to face the reality and begin preparations: only with solid data can humanity take advantages of emerging opportunities and hope to adapt successfully. “The decision-makers and policy-makers need the information from this study,” she said.
“We need to recognize that things are changing and that we need to monitor and begin to address them.” Not only that, but science has been shown to underestimate the effects of climate change. The current study, for example, doesn’t factor in prospective stresses caused by human endeavours, such as Energy East’s oil pipeline proposal to pass under the Mississippi and Rideau rivers. Were the pipeline to rupture, the effects would be devastating. Understandably, there are too many variables at play when it comes to human developments. Asked how a study that looks decades down the road can influence decision-makers and the public today – many of whom show little concern for future generations – Oblak pointed to the benefits of long-term planning in other areas. Governments have recently built infrastructure replacement costs into their budgets. When a bridge is built, funds are set aside each year to replace it. Will that type of thinking be applied to contributions nature makes to human societies? There’s a school of thought that all is lost; change had to have come 30 years ago or more; humanity has signed a collective suicide pact; no dominant species has escaped extinction; we may as well quit trying to fight climate change and go out with a bang. Oblak said there is no proof humanity is doomed. The dystopian visions put out by Hollywood are no more true than their opposite. The future is not predetermined. “Things are projected to be different. That is all. How we chose to adapt – if we do it successfully – will decide (our fate).” The prey may change, but the hunters and fishermen who are willing to adapt may survive to pass on their traditions.

two small Tabby sisters before. They arrived on a blistery day last December and have adjusted quit well in their shelter environment. Initially we could not pet them, catch them or even look at them. They would hide for days. Meanwhile they’ve come around so much that they even love to be held. They are absolutely adorable. You often see them play with rolling toys together. They’re very healthy as they both watch their waistline. Although we would love for them to be adopted together, we would allow them to go into separate homes as well. Both cats need a person or family with some patience to allow them to adjust to a new environment. We’re sure they make you smile. Please come and give them a chance, you’ll have no regrets! Thank you for your continued support.

News – Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN), Ontario’s largest rural broadband network project, is now complete thanks to funding from the governments of Canada and Ontario, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus Inc., and private sector partners. Spanning 50,000 square kilometres, EORN serves a region of more than one million people and supplies over 90 per cent of homes and businesses with DSL or fixed wireless internet services of 10 Mbps or higher. In areas that cannot connect with wireless or wired service, a satellite solution provides connectivity at these same speeds. “The Eastern Ontario Regional Network created an exceptional partnership that brought together multiple governments and private sector partners. This hard work has delivered a broadband network that is opening up new markets and opportunities for our economy and improving quality of life for our residents,” noted Dave Burton, 2014 EORN chair. As a result of this project, people across the counties of Hastings, Peterborough, Renfrew, Northumberland, Haliburton, Frontenac, Lanark, Prince Edward, Lennox and Addington, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, as well as the City of Kawartha Lakes now have access to the latest in web-based computer applications and information and entertainment resources. “Providing broadband access to residents, businesses and First Nations communities is one of the keys to unlocking the enormous economic potential of our region. To meet that goal, our communities came together to develop a shared vision and a plan. Working with the support of the federal, provincial and municipal governments, and in partnership with the private sector, we have made that vision a reality,” said 2014 Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus chair Linda Thompson. EORN is partnering with Bell, Cogeco Cable Canada, Xplornet Communications,
Nexicom, Storm Internet Services and Utilities Kingston on the initiative. “We are pleased to have been part of this important project and to be given the opportunity to use our extensive communications and technology expertise, in partnership with the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus and both levels of government, to expand broadband access in eastern Ontario,” noted Jason St-Pierre, regional manager, Bell. “High speed internet access is more than a luxury; it’s a necessary utility in today’s ever growing digital landscape. Storm Internet is proud to have been involved in the Eastern Ontario Regional Network project and to have brought out Wireless solutions to hundreds of houses, cottages, and businesses in Lanark County, North Dundas, and the nearby communities. We know the positive impact that reliable internet connections can have on the local economy and are honoured to be able to facilitate that change,” added Avedis Menechian, chief executive officer, Storm Internet Services. “It is difficult to overstate the importance of this project, and the effort that went into making it a reality. Ninetynine per cent of households across rural eastern Ontario can now access the transformative benefits of high-speed internet. The world has, in a very real sense, been opened up for them. And Eastern Ontario Regional Network has shown that public-private partnerships with visionary leaders, political will and a strong business model can make big things happen quickly, and on budget,” said Chris Harlond, Ontario director of sales, Xplornet Communications. Quick facts • The Government of Canada is contributing up to $55 million through the Building Canada Fund – Major Infrastructure Component. • The Government of Ontario contributed up to $55 million through the Broadband Infrastructure Fund. • The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus Inc. and private sector partners contributed the remaining funding of the total project cost of $170 million.

Community – Extra! Extra! Read all about it, or better yet, go and see the Dirt on Tait McKenzie. The Valley Players Production will hit the stage at the Almonte Old Town Hall for only two more performances: Friday, Nov. 21 and Saturday, Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m. The show opened last weekend with a full house both nights and a standing ovation on Saturday night. Tickets for the local history lesson are $20 for adults and $10 for students and can be purchased at Baker Bob’s in Almonte, the Pakenham General Store, the Clayton General Store and Read’s Book Shop in Carleton Place. The new musical was written by Fern Martin and is directed by Thora Pugh; it takes the audience into the past via a time travelling U-Pod, for a reporter trying to dig up some dirt on local hero Robert Tait McKenzie. The actors take a trip down memory lane exploring McKenzie’s past as a young boy in Almonte, a student and gymnast at McGill University in Montreal, a doctor, teacher, sculptor and world traveler. This isn’t the first time Martin and Pugh have paired up. In 2011 they staged Naismith is Colourblind and He Can’t Drive, and as with that production, they do not disappoint the crowd with the latest one. If you are looking for a real life history lesson on one of Almonte’s most well known and admired residents, you don’t want to miss the Dirt on Tait McKenzie, so make sure you check it on Nov. 21 and 22 at the Almonte Old Town Hall.

Studio Theatre hits a grand slam at 2014 EODL Festival
Active transportation workshop Dec. 3 News – The Town of Mississippi Mills is hosting an interactive workshop on the topic of active transportation. Active transportation includes all the ways of getting around that are human powered, such as walking, cycling, rollerblading, or by wheelchair. Using active modes of transportation can improve community health and help the environment. The purpose of the active transportation workshop will be to confirm the common routes that are currently used for active transportation. We will also work together to identify missing links, priority projects, and
initiatives that would increase use of active transportation in Mississippi Mills. Participants in the workshop will be required to submit and review ideas, and contribute to discussions within facilitated groups. The event will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 3 from 6 to 8:30 p.m., at Almonte Old Town Hall. The Town of Mississippi Mills is specifically seeking the support and engagement of community leaders in culture and heritage, public health and social services, local commerce, the environment, accessibility, youth and other key areas to participate in discussions.
This event is open to everyone in the community, however, we would ask that participants pre-register to ensure adequate seating is available. If you wish to attend the workshop, please RSVP by noon on Tuesday, Nov. 25 to TDunlop@ mississippimills.ca. This event is a part of the project to develop an active transportation master plan and a comprehensive transportation master plan for the Town of Mississippi Mills. If you are unable to attend this event, please check back at www.mississippimills.ca for more opportunities to get involved in this project.

terborough, Belleville, Ottawa, Merrickville, Perth, Trenton, and Haliburton, and judged by Adjudicator Sandy McDonald, a director, actor and acting coach with five decades of theatre experience in England and Canada. The Studio Theatre’s entry was called A Bench At The Edge, a surrealistic comedy/ drama written by Luigi Jannuzzi, directed by first-time director (but longtime actor) Lucas Tennant, and starring Juli Heney and Joanna McAuley Treffers. When their time came to perform, Juli and Joanna were flawless, giving the performance of a lifetime. And when the awards were announced at the banquet on Nov. 10, the contingent of Perth supporters went wild! Why? A Bench At The Edge was declared: • Winner: Best Director, Lucas Tennant – a double honour,
since this was Tennant’s directing debut. • Winner: Best Actress, shared by Julie Heney and Joanna McAuley Treffers. • Winner: Best Production. • Winner: People’s Choice Award as Favourite Production at the festival, as selected by audience members who saw all nine plays. It was a thrilling festival, and proof that Perth’s Studio Theatre stands among the very best community theatres in Ontario, if not the entire country. We can all be proud of the local actors, directors, lighting and sound people, set and costume designers who help make the Studio Theatre part of our town’s rich cultural landscape. And just wait until next year! Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

And this year the Studio Theatre shone like never before. The Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play festival is an annual competition at which community theatre groups from across eastern Ontario perform their best oneact play – plays no less than 35 minutes and no more than one-hour in length.

Full Circle Theatre opens holiday season with family fun, laughter next week Arts – Last year’s Christmas offering by BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s original community theatre, didn’t exactly set any box office records at Full Circle Theatre. Those lucky few who saw the show laughed, sang and had a great time, but they were pretty few in number. So, for this year, BarnDoor have decided to...bring back the very same show! Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!) is a lightning-fast, high-energy laugh riot by a trio of the region’s best community performers. The show is an out-and-out romp for stage veterans David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin as they have as much fun as the audience (and that’s a lot of fun!) presenting “every Christmas story ever told” in ninety minutes and an intermission. From reciting fractured versions of classic tales to providing lots of facts about weird Christmas customs around the world to ad libbing with the audience (and each other), the laughs start early and continue to the last moment of the show – and a little beyond, actually. David Bird, whose one-man performance of A Christmas Carol has been a perennial favourite in the region, plays a character eager to mount yet another ver-

Joe Laxton has other ideas: in his first production of A Christmas Carol, he played Tiny Tim, now he’s
playing “old dead guy”. David Christmas story ever told and Jacklin is more pragmatic: he just then Dickens, if there’s time. needs to pay the mortgage. The Director Janice Jacklin has compromise is simple: do every honed last year’s production to
something even more clever and fast-paced, with music, a video background that supports the show and offers lots of laughs on its own, lots of crazy props, costumes and special effects and as much fun and laughter as can be crammed into an hour and a half. There are some new bits to keep those who saw the show last year excited and some classic silliness for those who haven’t seen it. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!), by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez, is a constantly surprising and very inventive show. From a whirlwind version of The Grinch and a non-copyrightinfringing rendition of Rudolph, The Red-nosed Reindeer to Frosty, The Snowman, Bob Dylan’s A Child’s Christmas With Whales, The Gift of Maggie and even a game show about fruitcake, it’s great and very different family entertainment, with plenty of big laughs for everyone. In the intimate atmosphere of the Full Circle Theatre, the audience is invited to participate, with a few “volunteers” being brought up to the stage and lots of interaction between players and patrons encouraged. Some of the biggest
laughs of the show happen when the performers ad lib responses to audience comments and, if a “volunteer” turns out to have a performing streak of their own, the results can bring the house down. When the show seems to be over, the boys trot out one last treat: Every Christmas Carol Ever Sung caps off the fun beautifully with harmony and laughter. Every Christmas Carol Ever Told (And Then Some!), by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez, is a fun Christmas treat for the whole family, a live-action stocking stuffer crammed with more fun than a barrel of lutefisk -- and to know what that means, you have to see the show! Every Christmas Carol Ever Told (And Then Some!) runs Nov. 28, 29, Dec. 4, 5, 6 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 30 and Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. There is plenty of free on-site parking available. Adult tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door. Students and children are just $10. To reserve, simply call 613 267 1884. No credit cards needed; cash on arrival at the show is requested.

Elder fraud is a financial crime that targets older men and women who are often unable to recognize they are being victimized. Elder financial fraud is a broad term that can be applied to a host of crimes, from stealing money or property directly from an individual to using an older person’s property or possessions without permission. Many seniors are targeted through telemarketing scams in which elders are scared into giving money out of fear of losing their homes. Some are exploited by people closer to home who forge signatures or get an older person to sign over deeds or power of attorney. Criminals often see elderly men and women as easy targets. Seniors may be suffering from declining physical and/or mental health, which compromises their ability to defend themselves or even recognize they are being taken advantage of. Seniors also may be embarrassed that they were duped and not share their experiences with others as a result. But elder fraud also can be perpetrated by family members who aim to acquire an elderly relative’s assets. Recognizing scenarios where fraud may be committed can help men and women protect their elderly relatives from being victimized by elder fraud. • Confirm professionals are who they say they are.

Landowners join environmentalists to resist Energy East pipeline derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Environmental groups and First Nations are finding alliances in unlikely places when it comes to a company’s plans to ship oil through several Ottawa Valley municipalities. That was the key message from Sabrina Bowman of the Toronto-based Environmental Defence, who recently spoke against TransCanada’s proposed Energy East project at the Galilee Centre in Arnprior. The proposal is to convert a 40-year-old natural gas pipeline to carry unrefined oil from the Alberta Tar Sands to destinations in Quebec and New Brunswick for sale on international markets. The converted oil pipeline would pass under the Bonnechere, Madawaska, Mississippi and Rideau rivers. Pipeline approvals such as TransCanada’s Keystone XL have trampled on private property rights in the US, Bowman said, meaning the company has gone to court and seized access to ranchers’ land using a legal tool called “eminent domain.” It has led to a cheeky tagline for the opposition: The cowboys and Indians alliance. “We are seeing massive public outcry (to Energy East) and they haven’t even filed their paperwork yet,” Bowman said. “People are seeing it as a democratic issue. They are not being allowed to get involved in something that could affect their community.” The Conservative government has vowed to turn Canada into an energy powerhouse, and gutted many environmental regulations and silenced opponents by fast-tracking approval processes, she said. Its support of oil companies is no secret, Bowman added, but grassroots resistance is growing. “BC is an incredible inspiration when it came to the Northern Gateway project. And it all had to do with you talking to your neighbours,” Bowman said. “They will listen to you.” As for formal ways to voice opposition to Energy East, there are few. Only the provincial government will have a direct say to the decision-making authority, the National Energy Board. Municipalities and individuals will not. Hence those at the Arnprior meeting were encouraged to sign a petition destined for Queen’s Park. Bowman suggested the Liberal government will oppose the project if it gets enough resistance. Energy East benefits
Although no TransCanada representatives spoke at the meeting, some of their literature was offered. It referred to the contribution Canada’s oil and gas sector makes to the economy: more than 500,000 jobs; over $20 billion in government tax revenues; 20 per cent of the value of the Toronto Stock Exchange. On safety it points to converting a section of the Canadian Mainline for the Keystone Pipeline, which “has safely delivered more than 550 million barrels of oil to the US,” since it began operating in July 2010. It has converted or constructed other pipelines in six provinces. It also has spent an average of $900 million per year over the last three years on pipeline integrity and preventative maintenance programs to protect pipeline systems and energy facilities. On minimizing environmental impact, TransCanada mentions working with pipes already in the ground, and that most new pump stations will be installed at existing compressor stations. Its pamphlets mention securing energy independence for Canada, meaning no more buying oil from Saudi Arabia and other countries holding nonwestern values. On the last point, speakers at the Arnprior meeting said Canada doesn’t have the capacity to refine Tar Sands oil, and that globalization rules force the sale of oil to the highest bidder. That means most or all will be sold to international markets. When it comes to the environment, Environmental Defence calculates converting from natural gas to “dirty oil” will equate to adding 7 million more cars on the roads. Duncan Noble of the Valley Climate Circle said Canada made an international promise to reduce greenhouse gases by 17 per cent from its 2005 levels by 2020. Until there’s a plan to fulfill that promise, he doesn’t want to see the oil sands expanded. “Until we have a strategy to meet our climate change goals, I don’t want to see your pipeline plans,” Noble said. “Is it responsible to write off our hopes and dreams for pipelines and profits? I don’t think so.” When it comes to safety, Kathy Lindsay of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project worries about a pipeline spill affecting communities such as Renfrew. TransCanada promised its original Keystone pipeline would spill only once in seven years. In the first year of the
to the oil sector and direct that money elsewhere, he said. Then there are the economic opportunities of the future and getting ahead of the competition. “Renewable fuels are going to have to replace fossil fuels if we are going to deal with climate change,” he said. The environmentalists were asked how to convince climate change deniers that the threats are real and changes are already underway. They responded that it challenges their fundamental beliefs about the benefits of free market economies, so there is no point trying to reason with them.
TransCanada’s pipeline projects have managed to unite groups that haven’t always seen eye to eye. Activists like Duncan Noble of the Valley Climate Circle, Ole Hendrickson of the Ottawa River Institute and Sabrina Bowman of Environmental Defence are finding support among landowners who oppose the corporation seizing access to their property. Derek Dunn/METROLAND
pipeline’s operation, it spilled 12 times, she said. In a recent explosion on the natural gas pipeline system destined to be converted, a massive fireball resulted. Mark MacKenzie, who is past president of the federal Green party, was the only politician to attend the event. He said the pipeline that will pass across the Madawaska within 100 yards of his home – west of the Stewartville dam – isn’t guaranteed to spill, but it’s not worth taking a chance. “Spills are very devastating. They are remote but catastrophic because you can’t clean them up,” MacKenzie said. “We need to get together to oppose sending this oil right through our backyards to other countries. It’s good for the one per cent. They’ll make money off the oil. But it’s way too risky for the rest of us.” Opponents say 80 per cent of pipeline spills over the last three years were spotted by people before TransCanada’s monitors. When it comes to the economy, Ole Hendrickson of the Ottawa River Institute said for every $1 million spent, green energy projects create 15 jobs, oil and gas just two. More importantly, governments should stop the massive subsidies given

Normandy chicken gets unique taste from brandy
Ingredients • 2 tsp (10 mL) vegetable oil • 8 oz (250 g) Ontario Cremini mushrooms, sliced • 1 small Ontario onion, sliced • 1 clove Ontario garlic, minced • 4 boneless chicken breasts • 3/4 cup (175 mL) chicken stock • 3/4 cup (175 mL) apple cider or apple juice • 1/4 cup (50 mL) Calvados or brandy (optional) • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried thyme) • 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh or dried rosemary • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) water • 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
This chicken, infused with garlic and a variety of fresh herbs, is made special with the addition of Calvados (brandy made from apples in Normandy, France).
Preparation instructions In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until softened. Remove and set aside. Heat remaining oil in skillet. Add chicken breasts; cook until golden brown, about five minutes. Add vegetables, chicken stock, apple cider, Calvados, thyme, rosemary and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, turning chicken several times for 12 to 14 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken to platter; tent with foil.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Put your vitality and conspicuous nature to good use, Aries. Volunteer for a cause or donate your time to a worthy organization. Expect others to follow your lead.
The element of surprise can work well for your love life this week, Libra. Do something unexpected, and you and your significant other will be happy with the results.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Now is not the time to keep your feelings under wraps, Taurus. If you have an opinion, share it. Fortunately there are plenty of people willing to lend you an ear.
Scorpio, make some changes to your fitness routine this week so you don’t find yourself in a fitness funk. Switch the yoga mat for some cardio and vice versa.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Being hot then cold is sometimes the Gemini way. Shifting feelings and being mercurial is just how you’re made, and those who call you friend will have to adapt.
Sagittarius, if you are feeling a bit bored by your relationship, take the initiative to stir things up a bit. Go to a concert or plan a short jaunt to a tropical locale.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Cancer, you are full of ideas this week and you can put them to good use by being as vocal as you can at work. Suggest a brainstorming session with other employees.
Someone you know may have gotten in over his or her head and can probably use your help right now, Capricorn. Help this person come up with some solutions to the problem.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Leo, be genuine and speak from the heart this week. Your compassion for other people’s feelings will help a dear friend who will be grateful and appreciative of your kindness.
Aquarius, shake up your routine and you may be surprised by how much you enjoy the changes. In fact, you just may look at everything from an entirely new perspective.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Do not judge a book by its cover, Virgo. That person you have been checking out is entirely different from what you first imagined. It’s time to delve deeper.
Pisces, though you cannot afford that especially pricey treat you’ve had your eyes on, you can afford something a little more modest.

Cavanagh Candice Jean Cavanagh
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Candice “Candy” Cavanagh, in hospital on November 12th, 2014 at the age of 64. Candy endured a 20 year battle with cancer, through which she remained at home until her final two days. She fought the battle well, through the support of many at the Ottawa Cancer Clinic, home care, Red Cross, and most importantly her beloved husband and primary caregiver Jim, to whom she was married for 48 years. Candy was born on January 6th, 1950 in Ottawa, Ontario to the late Michael Cagan and Elizabeth Card. She is survived by her husband James Cavanagh, and cherished sons Edward (Sharon) Cavanagh and Trevor (Myrla) Cavanagh. She is also survived by five grandchildren whom she loved dearly; Karen, Kassidy, Ashton, Julia and Ella Cavanagh. Born in Ottawa and raised in Almonte, she moved to Smiths Falls and later to Toledo, where she lived the majority of her life. Candy is also survived by her mother-in-law Eva Cavanagh, sister-in-law Myrna Cavanagh and her two daughters Jackie Ward and Jeannie Casey, sister-in-law Peggy (John) McDonnell and their sons Shamus and Liam, sister-in-law Debbie Cavanagh and her son Rodney. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins on her side. She was predeceased by her loving grandparents Maurice Card and Alice Lamb, as well as her father-in-law Keith Cavanagh and brother-in-law Jack (Debbie) Cavanagh. Candy had many friends from all walks of life. They all had a positive impact upon her life, and she on theirs in return. Candy’s presence will be missed sadly by many. We would like to thank the Ottawa Cancer Clinic for their support during Candy’s battle. Also deserving gratitude are the Red Cross, Community Access Centre, Bay Shore, the numerous nurses who tended to her care, as well as many friends and neighbours who visited Candy. The extensive support Candy received allowed her to enjoy a longer life and her family to enjoy her in return. We would also like to thank the Smiths Falls Hospital for their compassion and Dr. Muldowney for guiding the family at the end of Candy’s battle. The greatest support Candy received during the battle, as well as during her life, came from her loving husband, Jim. Jim demonstrated support through sickness and health to the ultimate degree. Jim was her primary care giver during her final years, and he remained by her side until her final passing. Friends were received at the Blair & Son Funeral Home 112 Beckwith St. N., Smiths Falls on Monday, November 17, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm followed by a service in the Chapel at 4:00 pm. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to The Canadian Goat Society Youth Fund, the American Dairy Goat Association Youth Fund or a charity of your choice.

God took him home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love him still; His memory is as dear today, As in the hour he passed away.

News – The more than 33,000 road collisions on Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) patrolled roads last winter has the OPP asking road users to be part of the solution to reduce the number of preventable collisions over the 2014-2015 winter. Poor driving behaviour – not poor weather or road conditions – was a primary contributing factor in many of last winter’s single and multi-vehicle crashes, taking an unrelenting toll on road users, the movement of traffic and the provincial social costs associated with motor vehicle collisions. Between Dec. 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014 a total of 33,334 collisions occurred on OPP-patrolled roads compared to 25,953 collisions over the same four-month period in 2012-2013. The crashes resulted in deaths and numerous serious injuries. Among the injured were OPP officers who responded to these crash scenes and whose cruisers were struck by drivers who failed to adjust their speed to the conditions. The OPP will be working closely with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to ensure that roads are kept as safe as possible over the winter months – but the OPP admits that they cannot do this alone. “No other road safety partner can have as strong an influence on reducing the number of collisions during winter as drivers can through positive driving behaviour. During the winter months, the way people drive needs to be very different than the way they drive the rest of year. If every driver makes this critical change this winter, we will not have another chaotic winter that ends with a staggering number of collisions and the associated injuries and deaths,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support. “The safety of our roads is always a top priority and we continue to work closely with our road safety partners to promote safe and responsible winter practices. Ontario winters can be challenging for drivers. Be sure to check
road conditions on MTO’s Ontario 511 Traveller Information Services. Please stay alert, slow down and drive according to road and weather conditions,” added Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation. Over the winter months, the OPP will be providing a steady flow of safety-related tips, information and reminders on its social media sites in an effort to keep motorists on track with safe driving behaviour and to keep them informed about winter driving issues on our roads. One strong and recurring message people can expect to hear over winter is the need for every driver to adjust their speed and slow right down when visibility and road conditions deteriorate and to avoid non-essential travel during these periods. Another important message will be the need for all drivers to use their full set of headlights every day throughout the winter months. Far too many vehicles could not be seen by the drivers behind them last winter because their rear lights were not on. Using the full set of headlights is the only way to completely engage your rear lights and this is critical in helping to reduce the risk of collisions when driving in poor visibility. The OPP will also be encouraging drivers to use MTO’s Ontario 511 Traveller Information Services which provides easy access to up-to-date winter information on road conditions and road closures on provincially maintained roads. Ontario 511 also provides voice-activated, hands-free service. Drivers are expected to observe Ontario cell phone laws when using Ontario 511 while on the road and are encouraged to pull over to a safe location to use it as the safest option. The OPP is asking road users to tell them what driving behaviours they believe Ontario drivers need to change in order to help prevent another chaotic winter on our roads.

News - There were a few tears choked back and many pats on the back, but mostly there was applause and cheers for outgoing Mayor Dennis Staples and retiring Coun. Ken Graham during their last council session this week. The Nov. 17 regular meeting was punctuated with the entire chambers rising to their feet in a spontaneous
standing ovation for both men who collectively donated 49 years of service to their community. “We have been so lucky,” said Coun. Jay Brennan, choking back tears as he spoke of the mayor. “I can’t imagine where our town would be today if you hadn’t been around the last 29 years.” He along with his colleagues around the horseshoe acknowledged Staples’ ability to be heard by upper-tier gov-

Community – Whether you’re into R&B, blues and soul or you just want to rock, this year’s CPR Holiday Train will deliver Nov. 28! The 7:15 p.m. show at the Victoria Avenue location (Station Theatre) is the 16th consecutive year that the Holiday Train has made a stop in Smiths Falls and will feature the vocals of Roxanne Potvin and The Odds. Potvin is a Juno award nominated artist from Montreal who has made a name for herself in the blues, soul and R&B scene. The Odds have reinvented themselves after a brief hiatus following wide commercial success in the 1990s. In 2009 they released a new album known as Noise Trade and in 2010 had the honour of being the house band at Canada Hockey House during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. They also served as the house band for the Vancouver Canucks during their 2010 and 2011 NHL playoff games. This was a busy time for the band as they also boarded the Holiday Train in 2009 and 2010. This year’s Holiday Train Ontario tour will kick off in Merrickville Nov. 28 with their 5:45 p.m. show followed by Smiths Falls. Each year, staff at the Smiths Falls rail yard work diligently to decorate the train for this significant food bank fundraiser. Carolyn Barr, manager of the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank welcomes the event, saying it couldn’t come at a better time for them and the clients they serve. “Right now we are down to very

bare shelves,” Barr said. The immediate needs include cereals, brown beans, children’s pasta, pasta sauce and noodles and canned tomatoes. Holiday food drives such as the train and Build A Mountain of Food, which takes place this Saturday in Smiths Falls, are crucial in keeping food bank clients filled during the demanding winter season. “It typically takes us into March or April,” Barr said of the seasonal donations. Ensuring all individuals in their communities have access to a reliable food supply is the goal of CPR and its Holiday Train. “The program is an important community initiative for CP employees as more than 15,000 of us live and work in more than 1,100 North American communities. Hunger is an issue that can, and does, impact all of our neighbours,” states a CPR press release. Everything raised in the community stays in that community along with a corporate donation from CPR itself, which is presented at each train stop. The Smiths Falls Community Food Bank has spent the last year working to serve their clients better by relocating their entrance to the back so that it is wheelchair accessible. “It’s absolutely beautiful,” Barr said. A Trillium grant for much-needed equipment like freezers and fridges was secured, but the entrance renovation was completely covered by the property owner. Since 1999, the Holiday Train has raised about $9.5 million and 3.3 million lbs. of food in North America.

1994 when he first took the chains of office as mayor. The retiring mayor said he never wanted anyone to feel like their event wasn’t important to him. This decision has resulted in his attendance at 10,112 events over his 29 years of service. The mayor said this number includes meetings with politicians, business openings, working sessions, etc., but not unplanned meetings or discussions that often arose. He thanked a number of individuals and organizations, but most importantly he thanked his family for their support and the citizens of Smiths Falls for their faith in him. “It’s something I’ve never taken for granted,” he said. Similarly, Graham has spent his 20 years at the council table striving to be an active representative for the residents who entrusted him with the job. Over the years he has sat on numerous committees including the Rideau Environmental Action League, Child Development Centre, Police Services Board, Lanark County Council, as well as numerous contract negotiations with police, fire and staff. Currently, he is chair of the Airport Commission, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the LeedsGrenville and Lanark District Health Unit. “I’ve always tried to be an active participant not an idle attendee,” Graham said. He encouraged all councillors today and into the future to have their voices heard at these meetings, noting they are
important in moving the town forward. “A lot of the things I did didn’t have a lot of shine to them. Collectively they make the community a better place,” Graham said. The veteran councillor’s retirement brought a flood of emotion forth in his colleague Jay Brennan who said: “What we’ve just witnessed is how to be a town councillor.” Graham and Staples’ unofficial role as council mentor and their living knowledge of the past was highlighted as having been truly valuable to many around the table. “The whole time I’ve been on council I’ve been trying to emulate you, too,” Coun. Chris Cummings said. Mayor-elect Shawn Pankow thanks both men for their mentorship. He and Staples met for a 90-minute meeting recently to discuss active files and important items of interest in the mayor’s office. “There will be a seamless transition for council,” Staples assured residents. Pankow did verbally commit to continuing the monthly Service Club president’s meeting that was started by Staples a number of years ago as a way to keep the lines of communication open and encourage partnerships. Maintaining these lines of communication in the town was Staples’ parting words of advice. “It’s been an honour and privilege for me to be part of that,” Staples added. “It’s been fascinating to be here.” Both offered their support in the months and years to come when needed.

This number could increase to 40 employees in the future. Ann Bothwell of Smiths Falls voiced her support for the proposal, saying jobs are paramount for Smiths Falls. “We can’t keep choosing. We have to have something solid to stand on,” Bothwell said. “Let’s show people we are open for business.” Trisha Kelford argues employment is important but not at any cost. She is concerned such a facility would deter doctors from coming to the community and would give the town a reputation as a place where plastic is melted, not the lovely community it is. “You need to end it,” she challenged town council in her request for them to refuse the zoning amendment. “Think of our town. Think of all of us that love it.” Residents felt its location near homes and a school made it unsuitable for Smiths Falls. A resident suggested creating a committee within the company that would communicate with residents to provide accurate information in a timely manner, which seemed to be along the same lines as Coun. Dawn Quinn’s thought process. “The unknown is always terrifying,” she said. Shawn Pankow, mayor-elect, agreed information collection is crucial to making the right decision for the community, adding: “It’s not council’s role to stand in the way of development if it’s the right development for our town.” The issue of a potential accident occurring on site was touched on with general agreement that such an incident would overwhelm the hospital and emergency services. Outgoing Mayor Dennis
Jake Jenkins of Summit Energy holds up a brick of plastics that would be returned to its fuel base and then sold as well as used to run the former Hershey plant if a plastic melting plant is approved. Stacey Roy/ METROLAND
Staples confirmed the town would be responsible for having any suppression chemicals on hand for the fire department to fight a plastics fire should it occur. It was noted the company does have a bond in the event of such an incident with clean-up responsibilities likely falling to the company and property owners. McKernan said this information will be confirmed in her staff report to be tabled at the Dec. 8 committee-ofthe-whole meeting where this issue will be brought back for discussion around the horseshoe. Jenkins noted the plant will have security with cameras, fencing, etc, but acknowledged nothing is foolproof. “All we can do as an organization is set our standards way high,” Jenkins added. “Nothing is 100 per cent.” He noted the plant will be staffed and operations will continue at all times.

to keep plastic beyond that. Unlike the plant itself, these trailers will not be outfitted with a sprinkler system. Jenkins couldn’t confirm how many trailers would be on site, but did say he wouldn’t be in a position to refuse his clients’ calls for pick up. “We’ll take it as they feed it to us,” he said. In the first phase, the plant would produce about 14,000 litres of product every two weeks and 2.6 million litres of fuel a year, but this number will likely move upwards if the company realizes the expansion it hopes for. Phase one looks at accepting industrial plastic first and residential plastic numbers 2, 4, 5, as well as Styrofoam. “We’ll have a collection bin if you want to put your Styrofoam in there,” Jenkins said. He emphasized the company plans to start small and grow with demand, but has been pleased with the response they have received from Ontario companies to date. Jenkins projects expansion as soon as is practical, meaning once the first phase is up and running smoothly. This expansion will grow as rapidly as the industry demand will allow, considering the $100,000 flat rate the MOECC charges for reconsideration of allowable production levels. Jenkins said they are not proposing to deal with PVC, which is the product that burned for four days in Hamilton and is believed to have caused many deaths among emergency workers called to fight the blaze. However, he would not take it off the table to add in the distant future.

will also have control of the equipment remotely so he can shut it down if necessary. All staff will be given safety training by ONTrac in Smiths Falls and in operations by the manufacturers who will build the equipment. Jenkins and his partner attended an equipment show in Toronto the remainder of this week to confirm their choice of equipment for the local plant. The entire refinement process is completed using electricity (approximately 7,000 kwh per day). McKernan confirmed Hydro One had not provided comment in time for this week’s public meeting but that she would follow up, while property owner Chris Saumure noted this demand isn’t as significant as Hershey required when it was in operation. Once the material arrives on site it
is put on a conveyor belt then ground or shredded in half-inch square pieces. Then eight tonnes of this material is loaded into the device, which is air locked, the oxygen replaced with nitrogen and the melting begins. Once complete, the gases are then pushed out and condensed and everything is ultimately refined to produce 79-97 octane fuel and home heating oil. The ash byproduct will be bricked and sold for various uses. Jenkins explained the company is focused on providing proven environmental benefits by reducing the amount of plastic that goes into landfill. Currently, he said 93 per cent of plastics in Ontario can be found in the ground. Jenkins and his partner have seen the health and environmental impact plastics have had on the earth through their previous life in aviation and wanted to tackle this problem by starting a business in their retirement. “We’ve been to just about every terrible place on the face of the earth and saw plastics waste deep in ditches . . . We thought if we were going to make a difference this is a good one,” Jenkins said. Summit Energy’s proposed plant will use 30,000 square feet of space at the back of the building closest to the railway tracks. There, they hope to process eight tonnes of plastic a day into fuel. “We have verbal agreements with two local fuel companies to buy every drop of fuel we produce,” Jenkins said. The plant would have the capacity, using specialized silos, to hold a day’s worth of plastic indoors and will be using storage trailers outside the building

Airplane flyby honours veterans on Remembrance Day Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - While Perth and Smiths Falls residents came out to stand at their Remembrance Day services in record numbers, Bob Hanson of Classic Wings took to the sky to honour our veterans living and deceased. “It lifts you up,” Eric Devlin, president of Royal Canadian Legion branch 244 in Perth said of the flyby. “It honours the veterans - those who are still here and those who are not here.” Hanson used his L39 fighter jet to solemnly flyby both community services at 1,000 feet in the air. “The timing was absolutely perfect,” added Keith Anderson, president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95, Smiths Falls. “Everybody was thrilled with it.” This included mayor-elect Shawn Pankow, who noted the special addition to this year’s services during the Nov. 17 council session. “The flyby was very fitting,” Pankow said. The new aerial honour took place in Smiths Falls during the two minutes of silence while Perth’s addition to the service occurred during Mayor John Fenik’s prayer for veterans. One female military member who took part in the formal march to the cenotaph was touched by the show of respect, asking Anderson: “Was that for me?”
It was for all service members living and deceased. Hanson said he was initially contacted by the Prime Minister’s office to do the same thing over Ottawa’s ceremony, but felt he wanted to bring this special addition to Remembrance Day closer to home. Educating area residents, in particular, children about the meaning behind Nov. 11 is the mission of Classic Wings - a non-profit museum featuring 17 vintage airplanes. “The whole idea of the place is to let them know what their grandparents went through,” Hanson said. What makes Classic Wings special is that all 17 new and vintage aircrafts are cleared for flight and many of these one-of-a-kind museum pieces are accessible to visitors to get up Submitted photo close. Often times Hanson welcomes visitors to climb into a plane to feel Bob Hanson of Wings what veterans would have felt in the Classic driver’s seat. took his L39 About Classic Wings While Classic Wings is not considered a public museum it is open for visits from the public, organizations or schools by appointment. The museum is located at the Smiths Falls Montague Russ Beach Airport, on Roger Stevens Road.

Salvation Army aims to restore programming through holiday fundraisers Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - This kettle campaign, organizers in the Smiths Falls and Perth area are hoping the community will support them by donating towards the many year-long programs the Salvation Army offers the community. Last year’s campaign fell $40,000 short of the Salvation Army’s goal, requiring the nonprofit organization to cut back on the Perth meal program as well as staffing. “We’d like to add them back in,” said Major Faith Cameron. The 2014 Kettle Campaign launched Nov. 14 at Walmart in Smiths Falls. The kettle campaign’s $180,000 goal for 2014 is one of three means of revenue the Salvation Army receives with all funds raised going towards local programming. The other funds come from private donations and the thrift stores in Perth and Smiths Falls that are run by volunteers. One of the major recipients of the Kettle Campaign is the Christmas hamper program the Salvation Army offers those financially struggling during the holiday season. This year, the organization anticipates almost 800 people throughout their catchment area will receive a basket full of food for a Christmas meal, toys and warm clothing such as hats and mitts. The Salvation Army chapter stretches from Almonte to Sharbot Lake to Portland. Donations of items or food are always welcome at the Salvation Army locations (the church on Brockville Street in Smiths Falls or at 40 North St. in Perth). Only items donated
to these locations will be used for the Christmas hampers and the Salvation Army’s ongoing food cupboard. Bridgett Bartlett and the rest of Walmart, Smiths Falls staff are doing their part to support the Salvation Army food needs this holiday season by donating their dress down Friday’s funds to the cause. Donations for the campaign are being accepted until Dec. 15, when all donations will be picked up and prepared for distribution Dec. 18 to 20. Volunteers needed Krista Duff has volunteered with the Salvation Army kettles for the last three years and enjoys donating her two hours a shift to such a worthy cause. “They help so many people,” Duff added. “I really enjoy it. I don’t feel I’m in the Christmas spirit until I do at least one kettle.” In addition to food support, the Salvation Army assists in local emergencies and many other points of distress for area residents. In 2013 the Salvation Army provided material assistance to 1,821 people, accommodations valued at $8,049, clothing valued at $1,945, special needs ($318) and baby needs ($568) to name a few. They also sent 35 children to camp. Deborah Lafleur is the volunteer coordinator for the Salvation Army and welcomes anyone who may have a couple of hours to spare for the kettles to call her at 613-283-3563. “We can always use more” volunteers, Lafleur added. “The more that we have the better we do.”

CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAYS

Members of the Knit Knackers Yarn Warehouse knitting group (Marlene Bennett, Ella Thomson, Lisa Comeau, and Judith Young) gather to create more scarves and hats for the upcoming Chase the Chill event that will take place Dec. 6 in Smiths Falls. Free hats and scarves will be available from 10 a.m. at the corner of Beckwith and Russell streets.
Chase the Chill returns to streets Dec. 6 Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
Community - Local knitters and crocheters plan to wrap their arms around the Smiths Falls community Dec. 6 the best way they know how by circling it with a warm scarf. On Dec. 6 beginning at 10 a.m. the second annual Chase the Chill event will be held at the corner of Beckwith and Russell streets. At this time donated handmade hats and scarves will be hung on a line for anyone who needs or likes one to take free of charge. “It’s just a random act of kindness,” said Marlene Bennett who is part of a knit and crochet group who meets at Knit Knackers Yarn Warehouse on Russell Street. The idea originates from Easton, PA, and has quickly spread across the continent. Last year, a local woman purchased yarn from the Russell Street business to take part in Winnipeg’s Chase the Chill event, which in turn spawned the inaugural Smiths Falls event last January. Lisa Comeau of Knit Knackers Yarn Warehouse explains they chose to move the event to earlier in the cold season to be sure anyone who needs an item off the line will be able to get one before the severe weather begins. “This is for anybody to enjoy,” Comeau said. The business welcomes any donations of handmade hats and scarves to their Russell Street location. Donations are being accepted up to and including the day of the event. Chase the Chill is a great way to use up your odd yarn balls after a large project. Last year’s event had 100 items to give out to residents. “They went lickety-split,” Bennett said. A mother and daughter were among the many
who made donations of scarves to last year’s event as a way to introduce the young girl to knitting. The duo made matching scarves, one in regular size the other child’s size. That day a man and his dog selected these scarves to keep them warm during a winter stroll. “That dog sure enjoyed it,” Bennett said. Many residents enjoyed the donated items, including one young girl who spent quite a while trying on different items before selecting her most favourite piece to bring home. “She was so cute,” Comeau said. The annual event is heart warming for those who accept these unique and thoughtful items as well as those who create them. Judith Young and her mother, Ella Thomson have donated items for the first time this year and are pleased to have found a good cause with which to put their craft to work. Young said the Chase the Chill event is a great opportunity to try a new type of crochet and challenge yourself to broaden your own horizons without feeling as though the finished products will end up in their closet. Young gets a lot of joy in knowing those who really appreciate handmade items will be enjoying her work. “After a while your family doesn’t want any more, but you want to keep going,” she said. Chase the Chill can be found on Facebook at ‘Chase the Chill in Smiths Falls’. Anyone who is interested in learning about knitting or crocheting is welcome to take part in the knitting circle group at Knit Knackers Yarn Warehouse. The group meets every Tuesday, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and Thursday evenings from 5 to 7 p.m. The group is a supportive environment where people share their knowledge and words of encouragement with others.

Community – The Smiths Falls Heritage House Museum is once again hosting its annual Art Show, but with a twist. This year’s 33rd annual art show also features a new Christmas Artisan Market, where local goods are on sale for under $100. The art show and artisan market run until Dec. 21, all the better for holiday shoppers looking for unique gifts.
Moving up, out, not better
pinion - You make hay while the sun shines. A robber steals from banks because that’s where the money is. And businesses go where the people are. Earlier this month, the Giant Tiger store in Perth moved from its old digs on Wilson Street out to Highway 7. It made sure that its grand opening coincided with the Perth drop-off day for the Build-A-Mountain of Food campaign, which is to be commended – they could have been forgiven for begging off this year, that they had enough on their plate. But this latest move follows a similar one by PetValu in Smiths Falls, moving out of the downtown and out to increasingly busy Ferrara Drive on the edge of town, in the mall beside the LCBO. Joining the animal store is the Dollarama, which used to be just around the corner from my house. Having a pharmacy, meat store and Dollarama around the corner was one of the selling points for my newlywed wife and I when we moved to town in 2007. Over the years, as we added a dog and two little girls to our family, having such walkable amenities nearby became a Godsend. Now, sadly, no more last minute dashes to get French fry spice, or belated birthday card, or a loaf of bread around the corner. In the north end of the county, same deal. Many Almonte stores have joined the migration out to Ottawa Street, and in Carleton Place, the old downtown Tim Hortons is now located at the busy intersection of Franktown Road and Coleman Street. Their Giant Tiger has also moved from the downtown Mews to McNeely Avenue and Coleman. Yes, businesses are moving up from their respective downtown cores, and out to more driver-friendly thoroughfares. Indeed, such moves make them more visible, and easier to get to and, certainly for the Perth GT, provide a lot more ample, free parking than before. Also, you can carry – and therefore, buy – a lot more stuff with a car handy than just
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says your two hands and two feet. But as our population ages – with Perth and Carleton Place becoming retirement communities of sorts – having walkable destinations might become more imperative. The pharmacy around the corner from my house is across the street from a nursing home. They get it. They know where their business is. Ditto the Hearty Helpings Restaurant at the County Fair Mall in SF. They get a healthy flow of walkers from the two retirement homes across the road – and Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute behind them, guaranteeing a healthy mix of young and old walkers. Another business that gets walkers, is the Smiths Falls Giant Tiger. Located on Chambers Street, it remains in the downtown core. It recently underwent a major renovation, and they know their clients are mostly walkers who live in rental properties downtown or in nearby areas of town. It’s a reality of life in Smiths Falls that a large percentage of the county’s socially-assisted families reside there. I know Smiths Falls has its problems, but I still think we stack up pretty well. This isn’t to fault those businesses that move. They’ve got to make a buck, make a payroll, show a profit, and keep people moving in and out. It’s easier to do that with ample parking on a busy road than in cramped downtown quarters with scant pay parking nearby. But their actions do speak to a sad, sinking feeling one gets: people may say that they want walkable communities. They are healthier for us, but, the ease and convenience of a car, more often than not, wins out. Business is just responding to what we are doing – not what we may be saying.

News - A close call in Lanark County pointed to the need for protocols to be in place in the event an Ebola case is found locally. The county did experience a suspected Ebola case, but it turned out to be a false alarm. The concern over cross contamination and the potential need for quarantine resulted in the need to look into county-wide protocols. “It would really impact the ambulance service if we were to have an Ebola outbreak,” said Coun. Ken Graham. Speed sign purchased The Smiths Falls Police Services Board is looking for tenders to purchase a speed sign for the community to use with a view of having it available for local use as soon as possible. Coun. Chris Cummings also provided an update on the October seatbelt campaign by the police department. The SFDCI seat belt blitz was a great success with 94 per cent compliance during the survey. - S.R.

Some questions to ask your healthcare team DEAR EDITOR:
Visiting Smiths Falls hospital (recently), and talking to the spouse of a man in to see the specialist, it occurred to me that many skip common sense and guidelines when visiting a physician, especially a specialist. Your family or primary doctor will refer you to a specialist; you wait a week or two, or a month or two, and finally get in to see him or her. In the meantime, you’ve forgotten all of the things that happened. This is why I counsel all of my clients to visit a doctor with your spouse, a family member or a family friend. In case you do not have anyone to accompany you, you can talk to Community Home Support in your area and ask for a volunteer to go with you. I have done this many times. I’ve been with clients to see a family doctor, the Pain Clinic in Ottawa, the Heart Institute, a Communicable Disease specialist, as well as other individual specialists. What I’ve found is the busy specialists often fail to speak slowly and clearly, rushing through to get to the next client. They have no idea
if their patient understands what they are saying, either due to dementia (a hidden symptom for many people) or a physical barrier, such as a hearing impairment. It is up to us to ask the right questions, get answers we understand, and feel valued. What might be causing my signs and symptoms? What is my diagnosis? (Write this down, and ask how
to spell it.) Are (other) tests justified to confirm the diagnosis? Which treatment approach do you recommend, or are there other options? What are the side effects from these treatment(s) on my quality of life? What health routines do you recommend to improve my symptoms? (For example, exercise, diet, nutritional supplements, massage, com-

Business of the Year Giving where you live has taken on a new meaning for this year’s winner of the Business of the Year Award. Dan and Wanita Andress (Andress’ Your Independent Grocer) are home grown entrepreneurs who began as a pack boy and cashier at local grocery stores and worked their way up to franchise owners in 2009. “It was a dream come true that I could get this franchise,” Mr. Andress said. The local grocery store has been the go-to spot for area charities for substantial assistance for fundraisers. “The need in Smiths Falls is huge,” Andress added. “We have the vehicle to do it.” Donation asks at the cash register have proven to be a very successful means for supporting countless organizations. Andress acknowledges his customers’ generosity for these opportunities, saying they are the ones who make it possible for them to support so many local needs. “Without you guys we wouldn’t be able to do what we can do,” he said. The grocery store has offered their location to countless fundraising barbecues as well as cash

Both awards were presented at the chamber’s AGM Oct. 29. The event was held at the Memorial Centre hall this year. register donation drives for Big Brothers Big Sisters, Easter Seals, Canadian Cancer Society, ALS, Alzheimer’s Society, Smiths Falls Community Food Bank (donating 15,000 pounds of food), The 2014 Tankard, and the Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens Rink to name a few. Allan O’Dette, president of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce highlighted the positive and crucial impact of business owners like the Shermans and the Andresses being driving forces in their community. “I can see volunteerism is alive and well in your community,” O’Dette said. “If you’re waiting for government to rescue your community you’re going to be waiting a long time. If you’re looking for leadership look in the mirror.” He urged everyone in the room to find one person to mentor whether it is a youth or a new comer to town, saying their perspective and drive to succeed is much needed for Canada’s (and the local) economy to grow. “If your community’s going to be successful you’re going to have to attract new comers,” O’Dette said. The sons of Rosie’s Nails owners accepted the Immigrant Entrepreneur Award on behalf of their parents, Lynn and Ken Nguyen. The couple immigrated to Canada in 1995 and made their way to Smiths Falls in 2000. For many years Rosie’s Nails was a staple
at Main Street west, but has now taken its place on Beckwith Street as part of the downtown core. “Thank you everybody for this,” said John Nguyen. In addition to supporting those coming to our shores, O’Dette urges businesses to look to exporting opportunities, particularly with our neighbours to the south. He sees future growth opportunities for the province in a resurgence of manufacturing, agriculture and the trades. “That’s the future opportunity,” O’Dette said. Other award recipients The chamber presented awards to three other members and deserving residents of the community, including: Dr. Peter and Nancy Yunker (Community Appreciation Award) for their contribution to the Station Theatre, 2014 Tankard and other causes. Marsha Jackson-Legault, manager of the County Fair Mall accepted the Aesthetic Award for their extension overhaul last year when they welcomed Target and Dollar Tree into the Brockville Street location. In addition to the investment made by the corporations, the mall also spruced up its landscaping, resurfaced the parking lot and did some service work as well. “Thank you for recognizing us this year,” Jackson-Legault added. “I hope you come visit us soon.”

News – Doing business is all about giving back to the community what it gives to you. Those were the thoughts of this year’s Smiths Falls and District Chamber of Commerce award recipients for Business and Business Persons of the Year. “The thing that makes Smiths Falls sensational is the people and over the years these people have become our family,” said Jean Sherman who alongside her husband, Dave was acknowledged as Business Persons of the Year. The couple has been operating Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club since 1997 when they moved to the area for what was thought to be a short term working engagement. It didn’t take long for the pair to settle into their new home and see the good works non-profit organizations are doing locally. Over the years the golf course has made annual donations to groups such as Sole Sisters Run for Cancer Research and the food bank. It is also the chamber’s location for their annual golf tournament. The Sherman’s thanked the chamber for this honour during the Oct. 29 event. “Without your support we wouldn’t be where we are,” Mr. Sherman said. “From the bottom of our hearts thank you very much for this honour,” Mrs. Sherman added.
The Annual Report summarizes the use of Class 9 pesticides used at Lombard Glen Golf & C.C. in 2013.

Local squadron members awarded for service “NIGHT PARADE” nd fundraising support to 585 Rideau Squadron - Royal Canadian Air Cadets. There are 117 air cadet squadrons in Ontario and 585 ‘Rideau’ Squadron Sponsoring Committee was also the top SSC from eastern Ontario. The 585 Rideau Air Cadet Squadron is the product of a partnership between the Department of National Defence (DND -the military partner) and the Air Cadet League of Canada (the civilian partner). At the community level, the principal sponsor for 585 Sqn is the 443 Wing - Air Force Association of Canada, located in Smiths Falls. The Squadron Sponsoring Committee, or SSC, represents the Air Cadet League at the local level.
It is a non-profit charitable organization, which is made up of representatives from the sponsor, interested parents as well as members of the community. Each member of the SSC brings special talents (financial management, computer skills, organizational skills, fundraising skills, etc.) and a willingness to commit their own free time and energy to help 585 Squadron be successful. The SSC manages the finances for the squadron and facilitates the operation of squadron activities and programs that are not fully funded by DND. This includes providing training facilities (443 Wing), optional training activities (citizenship trips, social events, sports events etc.) as well as additional training equipment,
awards and trophies. The SSC is also responsible for promoting the cadet program to the local community and for recruiting both cadets and adults (officers, civilian instructors and squadron volunteers). As well, it was announced on parade Oct 29 that Maj. Doug Irish, past commanding officer of 585 Rideau Squadron, was recognized by the OPC with a Cadet Instructor Cadre Award of Excellence in recognition of his 36 years of dedicated service and commitment to the Ontario Royal Air Cadet program. Both of these awards were formally presented on Oct. 25 during the OPC Annual General Meetings in Vaughan, Ont.

Smoke alarm aids family in escaping house fire, pets perish due to the smoke and the flames’ intensity. He urges all residents to please call the fire department even if they have been able to successfully extinguish a fire, particularly if upholstery is involved. “The best way is to remove it completely and isolate it,” Donovan added. “Certainly make the call to us. Any fire department is only too glad to attend.” The township fire department received the residential structure fire call at 10:34 p.m. that night and sent firefighters from all three stations down the road the 18 km to battle the blaze, but when they got there it was fully engulfed. “We could actually see the glow in the night’s sky when we reached the Village of Addison,” Chief Donovan said.

News - Working smoke alarms are being credited with saving the lives of a family in Addison following a house fire that left them with nothing but the clothes on their backs. “They got out with no coats on,” said Kathy Graham, the children’s grandmother. The family of Lori Graham, Emma (13) and Ivy (9) Coughlin and Scott Biccum are currently living with Graham’s father, Ken Graham, (Smiths Falls outgoing town councillor) while they plan their next steps. They said they have been grateful for the donations of clothing and other items they have received since the fire. “Anything will help for sure,” Graham said. At approximately 9:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12 the family was watching television when the power went out and they could hear a sound that they ultimately discovered was coming from an extension cord. The cord had started a fire on the family’s couch. Immediately Biccum grabbed water and doused the fire, which seemed to be extinguished. After checking all the fire alarms the family went upstairs, but were roused once more just 15 minutes later when the smoke alarms went off. Graham relayed the scene as the family

Mel’s Farm to benefit from photos with Santa Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
News - Animals like Fluffy the sheep will be able to find their forever home thanks to Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue. The local animal rescue, run by Melanie Young and her team of faithful volunteers, will be the recipient of funds raised at a special event at Laura Jane’s Pet Food and Supplies in Perth on Nov. 22. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. folks can bring in their pets to have photos with Santa. If your pet pooch has a fear of the friendly St. Nicholas, you can choose to not have Santa in your photo. There are also other scenes available. Printed on site, the cost $20 each for a 5x7 print. Laura Jane’s Pet Food and Supplies is located at 99 Dufferin St., Perth. If you bring your four-legged canine companion, please ensure he or she is on a leash. Let’s talk about Fluffy for a minute. He’s a sheep – rescued by a woman who
fell in love with him after a visit to her mother’s neighbour in Peterborough. Fluffy was raised as a pet, and always kept in a small stall, said Young, who explained the sheep’s situation. “Eventually at one year of age he got too big and was going to be sent for slaughter,” Young said. The woman paid the farmer the same amount as he would of gotten from a slaughter house. “That is when she called us,” Young said. “My dad and I drove to Peterborough to pick him up. Fluffy acts more like a dog than a sheep. We had him castrated and his vaccinations updated.” Fluffy would be perfect for someone who wants to make their hobby farm complete; someone who loves animals and who would just like for him to enjoy life. Young said he would be best at a farm with bigger kids as he likes to play “head butt.” The adoption fee for Fluffy is $75. Please go to melsfarm.ca for an adoption application.

Smiths Falls Bears notch triple wins, sit in third place Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sports – The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears are sitting just two behind the second place Cornwall Colts of the Robinson Division after three wins last week in CCHL action. Carleton Place is cruising along at the top of the heap with an impressive 27-5 record for 54 points – 17 ahead of Cornwall (17-8-1-2). The Bears (15-8-1-4) had some big wins this week, two of which came in shootouts, including Friday night’s 5-4 win over the Colts. “Two big wins… we’ll take the four points,” said assistant coach Walt Dubas. “It wasn’t good to blow threegoal leads in the third period. They’ve got to learn to play a full 60 minutes of hockey. It takes a long time to build up the momentum but a little time to lose it. It was disappointing to give up the lead, but I’m happy they responded with the wins.” Last Tuesday, the Bears entertained the Gloucester Rangers and handed them a 4-1 upset, and on Sunday afternoon, Smiths Falls needed another shootout period to tame the Brockville Braves, 4-3. Smiths Falls 4 Brockville 3 Doef leads the Smiths Falls scoring with 13 goals and 25 assists for 38 points. He’s just two off the pace of Gloucester’s Ryan Kuffner who has 19 goals and 21 assists for 40 points. Doef padded that lead over the weekend with one goal against Brockville. He opened the scoring at 8:56 of the first period when Cole Busschaert and Kevin Groulx gave him the opportunity on the power play for the only goal of the period. In the second, the brothers Henry

couldn’t put anything together for the win. That parlayed into a scoreless overtime period, resulting in the shootout. Both Groulx and McCartney were needed to score in the winning effort, and for their prowess in the shootout, they were named the third and first game stars respectively.

Michael Pinios was tagged with the win in nets with 28 saves while Michell Datz was hit with the loss, notching 17 saves. Smiths Falls 5 Cornwall 4 The Bears don’t do anything easily, and that showed with another shootout win against the Cornwall Colts on Friday night in front of 555 fans.
The team was down four players and the coach due to the Central Canada Cup in Etobicoke Nov. 14 to 16, including coach Mark Grady, goalie Cole Skinner, forward Doef, and defensemen Jared Henry and Chris McMillan. Smiths Falls called up Almonte Thunder goalie Matthew Dods, a player they protected last year. “He didn’t play, but he did get to experience the game, sitting on the bench with the rest of the players. Any time we can give them (affiliates) some time in the arena, it’s a good experience for everyone. Not saying anything about our part in it, but he went out and got a shutout on Saturday night.” Dods claimed a 3-0 win for Almonte against the Clarence Beavers in EOJHL play on Saturday in Almonte, turning away 21 shots. The Bears were up again 3-0 at the end of the second period, with goals from Craig Cross (power play) assisted by Gurr and Nathan Foster; Groulx from Michael McKenney and Brett Garvey in the first, and McCartney was unassisted in the second to put the home team up comfortably. That was until Cornwall turned up the heat early in the final period and scored twice in the first two and half minutes. Jay D’Armour and Lawson MacDonald were credited with the Colts’ goals. Groulx gave the Bears a bit of a breather with his second of the game, assisted by Josh Leblanc and Busschaert at 3:18 for a comfortable 4-2 lead which held on for a few minutes. Cornwall shot back with Grant Cooper’s marker at 11:58, and tied the game with Nick Lalonde’s goal at 16:05 to force the overtime. Another scoreless period ensued,

Thanks to a combination of provincial legislation, grants, the availability of the kitchen and storage facilities at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls, and Nash’s co-ordination of local producers and consumers, the food hub is expected to be open by the end of this year.
Its goal is to increase local food production, provide processors with local resources for preserving and baking, and provide buyers with a place to purchase local food, which has positive environmental effects by reducing transportation costs. In a letter of support for the nomination, ecoPerth chair Janet Duncan described Nash’s extensive work in the slow food See AWARD pg. 51

movement, as well as with ecoPerth, an award-winning incorporated not-for-profit agency that has been working on climate change projects and local food initiatives since 1998. “Cheryl Nash is the prime volunteer coordinator of local food activities and has focused her efforts on supporting farmer activities and other organizations thorough numerous projects,” Duncan said. Ray Elgersma, who is with the food hub, also submitted a letter of support and commented on Nash’s enormous contributions to that project. “The intent is to ‘mainstream local food,’ and that is going to happen thanks in large part to Cheryl’s vision, tenacity and drive...While this has been a community effort with many volunteer hours given by numerous persons, Cheryl has been the spark plug that has kept the group fired up and the gatepost on which much of the committee activity has swung,” he said.
He added she has given tirelessly throughout this past year to see the concept realized for Lanark County. “She does this because she believes it is in the interest of this county and the health and well-being of its residents to have this,” Elgersma stated. Warden Kidd thanked Nash for her passion to serve the community and to keep it healthy. “The food hub is truly a legacy project as it has the potential to help not only our local farmers, but everyone who lives here. Cheryl is to be commended for her hard work on making the food hub a reality,” he said. “She was a great candidate for this award because her work involves the whole county. It can be difficult to find someone to celebrate who contributes to all of Lanark County.” Nash thanked the Township of Beckwith and her supporters (Cassandra McGregor, Ray Elgersma and Janet Duncan) for the nomination. “I am truly and deeply hon-
Colourful characters and fun songs bring farcical fairytale to life Lise Corbett
Arts – The fun starts from the moment the curtain opens in the upcoming farcical fairytale, Cinderella, by local musical theatre troupe, the Mississippi Mudds. Colourful characters abound. You’ll meet a grown-up Miss Muffet who is wooed by Dandini, Prince Charming’s faithful valet. Rag, Tag and Bobtail, the village bailiffs, are a fairy-tale version of the “Three Stooges” who are sorely lacking in intellectual prowess. The King, a soloist wannabe, has a difficult time being properly introduced, given his high station. The fairy Godmother loves to speak in rhymes while helping to make Cinderella’s dreams come true. And, Buttons, Baron Hardup’s servant, who is hopelessly in love with Cinderella and deeply divided in his duties between Tutti and Frutti, Cinderella’s stepsisters, and his master, Cinderella’s father – Baron Hardup. Children will enjoy the antics of Tutti and Frutti, Cinderella’s stepsisters who compete furiously for the attentions and affection of Prince Charming, and try to – and in the end succeed – literally – in sweeping him off his feet. They will laugh in the scene where the two sisters duke it out in a contest of brute strength and
determination. May the best sister win! There is much to catch and hold the eye in this show: a horse that meets up with a fox during a “foxy” kind of song; a rather messy and disorganized choral practice by a glee club led by the tone-deaf Baron Hardup; the King’s fruitless and sorry efforts to find an audience for his voice; the bailiffs who, along the way, are literally “washed up” in their efforts to storm Baron Hardup’s manor estate; and of course, the magical scene where a resplendent Cinderella appears at the ball and captivates the prince. The play is interspersed with action, dance and song – and even a jig! There is something for everyone, including a fun assortment of songs performed by the Mudds chorus while accompanied by Peter Brown and a four-member band. What’s not to love? Performances are Nov. 28 and Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 30 at 2 p.m., Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets, $20 evenings, and $15 matinees, from Reads Book Shop, 135 Bridge Street, Photo courtesy of Doris Ohlmann Carleton Place, 613-257-7323 or at the door.

Is the year of recall overload? Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
current Fiat Chrysler Auto recall for an electrical fault in rear power-vent windows will allow the owner to have the switch disconnected until repair parts are available. But what if there are no mitigating measures to take? Whether or not you decide to operate a vehicle that’s under a voluntary or mandatory safety recall is really up to you. But no automaker will supply free transportation while your vehicle sits in the driveway. Consider that almost every safety recall issued in North America involved issues where only a small percentage of the vehicle’s involved developed a fault that put drivers and passengers at risk. As some of my colleagues at repair shops put it, “the vehicle really isn’t any different after the recall notice came in the mail than before the post office delivered it.” Or think of it this way; there are a lot more risks to driving public roads every day than an uncompleted safety recall presents. Tip of the week As the cooler weather approaches the importance of a fully operational heating and ventilation system becomes more important than ever. A key to this is the cabin air filter. Many customers are surprised to learn that their vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter. It’s becoming a very popular feature on even the most entry-level vehicles. When this filter gets clogged it can reduce the amount of air flow in the vehicle and can slow windshield defrosting time. If you’re not sure if your vehicle has a cabin filter, check with your dealership or owner’s manual. Most of these filters can be accessed and checked without tools or special skills and if they’re dirty, replace them to keep the view clear and you and your passengers warm. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, (By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Lifestyle – This year, 2014 in the automotive industry has been the year of the recall. Whether it was General Motors setting records with the number of vehicles called back or problems with Takata air bags or automaker executives being called on the carpet in front of US congressional hearings, there was no shortage of recall news. The latest tidbit is from General Motors. It seems they are having problems getting customers to come in to their dealerships to get the ignition recall repairs completed, so they’re resorting to bribery, offering owners (in the US) $25 gift cards, good at up to seven different retailers such as Starbucks or Walmart when they get their recall done. But why wouldn’t a car owner rush to get a safety related recall completed? There are basically two types of customers when it comes to recalls; one who routinely ignores manufacturer mail-outs (including recalls) either due to a mistrust of the automaker’s motives or a lack of concern about their vehicle and one who believes they can’t drive their car until the repair is completed. Yes, there are varying degrees of both types but the latter group can drive more than their cars right round the bend. What the majority of consumers don’t know is that it is a very rare circumstance that sees an automaker ready to complete a recall when the notice is first mailed out. In many cases, it’s a matter of not having a sufficient supply of parts available to dealership service departments. Often recall notice timing is early due to a manufacturer’s desire to meet federal guidelines with notifying consumers in a timely manner. It can often take weeks or months for required parts to be made, packaged, and distributed. In cases where the numbers of autos recalled are large, dealerships are sometimes restricted to the number of parts they can order. None of these circumstances are controllable in any way shape or form by the retailer. But what should a responsible car owner do? In most cases if the recall represents a serious risk and repair parts are not readily available, carmakers will provide measures and instructions to minimize the danger. For example, when the GM ignition switch recall was in its early stages, drivers were instructed to not have anything attached to the ignition key; no rings, fobs, tags, or dangly decorations (this is good advice no matter what type of vehicle you drive). In other cases suspect components can be rendered inoperable if they’re not required for function or safety. A

1974 Plymouth Duster bought for only $300, creates many memories on both sides but the 318 V8 was solid. That old car was a lot of fun. We would load it up with five or six friends and hit the highway, off to the beach or concert, wherever the spirit moved us. As long as the weather was warm and dry, that is. “In cold weather the automatic choke often needed help. I popped the hood, took off
the breather cover while my girlfriend got a screwdriver to hold the butterfly valve open, then I jumped behind the wheel
and tried to start it. A backfire through the carb scared the daylights out of her. I put in a manual coke after that. “I knew the end was near one Labour Day weekend when I was going to the Pinerys to pick up my girlfriend and bring her back to school. I had stopped for gas and the latch pin on the driver’s door got bent out of place. The door wouldn’t stay closed so I buckled my seatbelt and held the door closed with my left arm hanging out, be-
AMO transfers second federal gas tax fund payment to Ontario municipalities is to be invested,” said Gary McNamara, AMO president. “I know that communities across Ontario will continue to put this critical funding to work building, repairing and improving municipal infrastructure.” Under the new 2014 gas tax agreement, municipalities can invest in more than 15 project categories. In Ontario, municipalities can also choose to invest their gas tax funds with the One Investment Program – a pooling program developed by AMO and the Municipal Finance Officers Association. It gives municipal governments the ability to grow their funds so that there is additional money to spend on infrastructure. The federal gas tax fund provides Ontario municipalities with $744 million per year.
AMO delivers the fund to all Ontario municipalities, except the City of Toronto. It is delivered twice a year, on a per capita basis. Funding is invested in infrastructure that makes our communities safer, more efficient and prosperous. You can learn more about the federal gas tax fund in Ontario by visiting www.gastaxatwork.ca or @GasTaxinOntario on Twitter. AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario’s 444 municipal governments. AMO supports and enhances strong and effective municipal government in Ontario and promotes the value of municipal government as a vital and essential component of Ontario and Canada’s political system.

News – The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has completed its second transfer in 2014 of federal gas tax funds to Ontario municipalities. The federal gas tax fund is one of the only long term, permanent and stable forms of funding for municipal infrastructure. It can be invested into many different types of infrastructure that meet local needs. While the federal gas tax fund is a national program, the way it is administered in Ontario is unique due to a direct federal-municipal partnership where AMO administers funds directly to municipalities, twice a year, on a per capita basis. “In Ontario, it’s up to municipalities to identify local needs and priorities and decide exactly where the federal gas tax fund

The 2015 Chevrolet Trax’s design features and smooth ride makes it competition in the compact SUV and crossover market.
Chevrolet Trax a threat in SUV market Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) 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 2015 Chevrolet Trax I enjoyed for this review came from the great folks at Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac in Smiths Falls. Compact SUVs and crossovers are one of the fastest growing and competitive segments in the automotive industry. As more and more consumers are getting behind the wheels of these doit-all transports, their expectations are becoming more refined. Drivers are no longer willing to settle for SUVs that have rough unforgiving suspension or have a heavy thirst for fuel or are difficult to maneuver in tight settings. They also want styling that toes the line between bland and aggressive and of course, above all, they want all the safety and electronic features found in most high-line vehicles. Chevrolet hits all these marks with the Trax. The Trax starts the price range at $18,695 and goes up to $30,545 for a fully loaded LTZ trimmed model. My Trax 2LT AWD from Mike Fair was $28,890 (all prices before destination and prep fees, taxes, and current incentives). This tag brings all you would expect in
Auto Know
Brian turner
this price class plus remote start, power sunroof, heated mirrors, leather trimmed seats and leather wrapped steering wheel, seveninch colour touch screen, and of course GM’s OnStar communication system complete with a 4G LTE WiFi connectivity and Siri eyes-free voice-command capability. One of the real surprises in the Trax package is what’s under the hood. GM’s 1.4 L Ecotec 4-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed automatic. While the 138 hp output won’t light up anyone’s shopping spec list, the transmission’s gearing takes full advantage of this responsive power plant to deliver performance that some V-6’s can’t and fuel economy that some hybrids don’t. Unlike many of their competitors, GM has removed the tinny sound and feeling usually associated with smaller powertrains and replaced it with a smooth quiet power-band that’s right at home cruising the highways and tackling the back roads to the cottage. A low step in means no struggling to take your seat and the interior is as well laid out and designed as the exterior and undercarriage. My tester was ordered from GM by Mike Fair’s GM, Kristine Fair and her choice of exterior colour and interior trim package adds a fresh look that many consumers will find attractive. On the road this is one of the quietest compact SUVs I’ve driven and it handles like a well executed sedan platform. The all-wheel drive system is totally automatic with no driver input required. It simply activates when
one or more wheels lose traction giving a sure-footed confidence regardless of road or weather conditions. GM designers stayed away from excessively trendy window and lift-gate forms to provide great driver vision from all angles. Rear storage/cargo capability is above average with almost 19 cubic feet behind the second row seating and over 48 cubic feet when those seats are folded down flat. Door pockets abound as do dash and console storage cubbies with the USB and auxiliary input ports located in a lidded dash-top compartment to keep valuable electronics out of sight. The properly positioned seven-inch colour touch-screen minimizes distraction and the audio system was the first I’ve found that lets you preselect the ignition-on volume to avoid you being blasted by the last heavymetal driver in the Trax or not being able to hear the latest traffic report because the default volume was too low. The fuel economy ratings on the Trax AWD with an automatic transmission are 7.6 L/100 km highway and 9.7 L/100 km city. Its 53 L fuel tank should deliver a 550 km range of mixed driving and cost around $60 to fill with regular unleaded at $1.25/L. The front-wheel drive version with a manual transmission is about seven per cent better. As Kristine Fair puts it, “This vehicle certainly is gaining ‘trax’tion in sales this year as more consumers become aware of this compact SUV. The price point of the all wheel drive model, its fuel efficiency, the flexible seating/cargo area and its overall size has made it attractive across the generations – youth and seniors alike, primarily women.” Agreed.

Dumber and dumberer 20 years later To
MOVIE: Dumb and Dumber
STARRING: Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Rob Riggle, Laurie Holden, Rachel Melvin, and Kathleen Turner DIRECTORS: Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly RATING: PG Entertainment – The anticipation for this sequel was huge, about fifteen years ago. Twenty years after the fact and I’m afraid the concept has lost some of its charm. We find our mentally deficient heroes 20 years later older, but no wiser. Lloyd (Jim Carrey) is catatonic, and has been institutionalized. Harry (Jeff Daniels) has been coming to see him every week for the last two decades. Of course Lloyd has been faking it all this time just to pull one over on Harry. Once the joke is out the two friends are re-united. The reunion comes just in time because Harry needs a new kidney. Luckily Harry has also just discovered he fathered a child 20 years ago. Now all the dynamic
My Take
Mark haskins
duo has to do is find this daughter and possible compatible kidney donor, and convince her to give up a kidney. It turns out Harry’s daughter, Penny (Rachel Melvin), is still living with her adopted father Dr. Pinchelow (Steve Tom) a wealthy and famous scientist. In the resulting road trip to track Penny down Lloyd and Harry get into one moronic misadventure after another. They even stumble into a plot to kill Dr. Pinchelow by the current Mrs. Pinchelow (Laurie Holden) and their handyman Travis (Rob Riggle). Fortunately Lloyd and Harry are oblivious to it all. I want to start by saying I loved Dumb and Dumber. It’s a hysterical film. Now the sequel isn’t
without its moments. There’s one scene in particular involving Rob Riggle, and a ridiculous number of fireworks that’s very funny. However, much of the rest of the film just feels tired and old. There are glimpses of the old magic that made the first film great, but that’s all there is; glimpses. Mostly Dumb and Dumber To is kind of boring. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels slip into these characters like they’re slipping into an old pair of jeans. These guys are tremendous talents. Rachel Melvin is delightful as the innocent and dim-witted daughter. Rob Riggle has his moments as he tries to kill Lloyd and Harry. Laurie Holden goes above and beyond to commit to her character, and Kathleen Turner, who plays Penny’s biological mom, is surprisingly in this film. Dumb and Dumber To wasn’t all bad. I got to see trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Seventh Son and Horrible Bosses 2. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
