Hospital faces suit from local laundry serviceBy DESMOND DEVOY [email protected]

News The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital is being sued by Hart Laundry Servic-es of Smiths Falls.

Though the matter is still being negotiated amongst lawyers, the suit was launched back in February of this year, which kicked off weeks of talks between the laundry and the hospital.

Hart had had the laundry contract since Sep-tember of 2011, and the contract was terminat-ed on May 31, to handle part of the hospitals laundry needs, including bed linens, towels, face cloths, and gowns. Operating room lin-ens, emergency room linens, and other aspects of hospital cleaning were handled by Hospital Linen Services of Ottawa. HLS is now doing all of the hospitals cleaning, until we deter-mine our next steps. We will probably have to go to a request for proposals, said the hos-pitals chief executive offi cer and president, Linda Bisonette, during an interview at the Great War Memorial Hospital in Perth on Fri-day, June 28.

I would have loved to have kept the busi-ness in the community, said Bisonette. But I have to keep the hospital at the forefront of my decisions.

On Tuesday, July 2, Larry Hart, owner of Hart Laundry Services, which operates out of the Gallipeau Centre, the former Rideau Re-gional Centre, stated that we have to be very cautious what we say. It is in the hands of legal people.

However, Hart confi rmed that we fi led a lawsuit in February, though he declined to say for how much and for what reason.

The hospital cancelled the linen contract on May 31, for Hart Laundry Services, he said.

In a later interview the same day with Trac-ey Gallipeau, the centres vice president, Hart added that we are not going to provide a dollar amount, but he did shed more light as to the original source of the confl ict.

There is a dispute over a large amount of linen, which was unaccounted for or missing after being shipped to the hospitals, said Hart. We had hoped from the talks that some resolu-tion would come forward to allow us to con-tinue to provide both local hospitals as we truly enjoyed the opportunity to provide the service. We appreciate all of the community support we have received since reopening the local laundry service in 2011.

Neither Gallipeau nor Hart was certain as to whether the lawsuit would end up before a judge or be settled out of court.

Lanark County council passes bylaw approving ATV useEMC News The following are

highlights from the regular La-nark County Council meeting held Wednesday, June 26 at the county building in Perth.

Council has passed a bylaw to permit the operation of all-terrain vehicles on county roads, except in Perth, Carleton Place and Almonte. The bylaw sets out numerous provi-sions, including speed limits: ATVs cannot be driven at speeds of great-er than 20 kilometres per hour on roads with limits of not greater than 50 km/h, and they cannot exceed 50 km/h on roads with speed limits of greater than 50 km/h.

The county has established a cur-few prohibiting ATV operation be-tween 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. on county roads.

Other provisions include the ne-cessity of having refl ective strips on all four sides of the vehicles and no chains or studs on the tires. ATVs must be driven in the same direction as traffi c on the same side of the road, and multiple ATVs must ride in single fi le. As well, they must be driven on the shoulder or, if there is no shoulder, as close to the right edge of the road surface as possible. When making a left turn, ATVs can move away from the shoulder or right edge when it is safe to do so. Some local municipalities have by-laws regarding ATV use, others are considering bylaws and some do not permit ATVs.

Bylaw 2013-20 can be found at www.lanarkcounty.ca.

Housing and homelessness plan approved

Council approved the draft Hous-ing and Homelessness Blueprint, which is a plan to address Lanark County housing and homelessness issues over the next 10 years.

The plan is to be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for a 90-day comment period. Following any revisions, it will be submitted to council for fi nal approval no later than December. A 10-year implementation plan will be

based on the seven priorities and 16 strategic objectives identifi ed in the blueprint, and any necessary invest-ment be considered during the an-nual budget process. Work on the plan began in

January 2012 and involved an ad-visory committee of seven commu-nity representatives and community consultations.

Councillor John Fenik (Perth mayor) added the Lanark County Housing Corporation met for a stra-tegic planning session this week and the board unanimously agreed the status quo is not acceptable.

We will be introducing bold and new initiatives to address the issue of affordable housing and our hous-ing stock. While we are passing this Housing and Homelessness Plan tonight, it is not the end of it, he said.

Auditors report receivedCouncil accepted the 2012 audi-

tors report as presented by Allan Chartered Accountant Professional Corporation at the June corporate services committee meeting.

Auditor Howard Allan thanked Chief administrative offi cer/trea-surer Kurt Greaves and fi nance de-partment staff for their assistance during the process. He indicated updated auditing standards from the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants have led to a focus on understanding sources of business risk, fraud risk, entity governance policies and managements overall decision-making processes.

As such, he undertook a compre-hensive review of the countys inter-nal controls to report on areas where there are opportunities to consider enhancements.

The purpose of adequate con-trols is to ensure, as far as practical, the orderly and effi cient conduct of the countys business, including the discharge of statutory responsibili-ties, for example, safeguarding of assets, prevention and detection of fraud and error, reliability of ac-counting records and timely prepa-

ration of fi nancial information, Al-lan said.

Delegations planned for AMOCouncil recommended several

delegation requests to various pro-vincial ministries for the 2013 Asso-ciation of Municipalities of Ontario conference slated for Ottawa on

Aug. 18 to 21. The delegations provide an op-

portunity for municipalities to be heard on issues that affect them. The county is submitting requests to the following ministries: Health and Long-Term Care on the topic of psycho-geriatric long-term care, Education regarding the new child-

care funding formula and frame-work, Agriculture and Food on the Local Food Acts defi nition of lo-cal, Transportation on funding for paved shoulders, Finance regard-ing opting out of tax capping, and Community and Social Services on

Area Jehovahs Witnesses attend convention in CornwallEMC News Jehovahs Wit-

nesses from the Carleton Place congregation arrived in Cornwall June 15 and 16 for their annual convention.

This was the third of six such conventions scheduled this year in Cornwall. Delegates, including Witnesses from Carleton Place and Lanark, joined 2,800 others from Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley to meet at Cornwalls Sports Com-

plex. The theme of the convention was Gods Word Is Truth! Many people have often heard this ex-pression and associate it with the Bible, and Jehovahs Witnesses be-lieve this to be so.

Jack Johnson, local Elder of the Carleton Place congregation, said, The convention highlighted Bible truths, and the core of the program was the encouragement given to all in attendance to continue to

look to the Bible as the source of truthful answers to the complex problems each and everyone faces in these stressful times. Attendees could see from the presentations that these Bible truths really work, whether in ones personal life, in a family setting or in the work place. Instruction was provided in how to apply these truths.

To Witnesses, continued Johnson, this Bible message is ab-

solutely necessary if one wants to draw close to Jehovah God and re-alize the blessings of the Kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for.

Sunday mornings program was a highlight of the convention with a drama portraying the life of Bible character Queen Esther. On Saturday, 13 were baptized in sym-bol of their dedication to God and ordination as ministers of Gods Kingdom.

Shoeboxes for Seniors 2013 campaign kicks off

EMC News The 2013 Shoe-boxes for Seniors in Chernobyl campaign recently kicked off June 1 and runs until Oct. 31.

The Shoeboxes for Seniors proj-ect began in 20113 and has been well-received in our communities. To date, 8,780 boxes have been fi lled with much needed personal care items. The program is offered under the Canadian Aid for Cher-nobyl, a charitable organization based in Brockville

Our shoeboxes are distributed to seniors who have limited funds and are living in Chernobyl, where the worst nuclear plant disaster oc-curred in 1986. We are providing very basic hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, lotions, etc. The seniors receiving our shoeboxes have been overjoyed with the com-passion shown them.

Our community has brought many smiles to weary faces. Will you help us help those in need?

Examples of items needed in-cludes: toothbrush/toothpaste; de-odorant; small towel/face cloth; comb/brush; shampoo; body pow-der; hand/body cream; facial tis-sue; razors/shaving cream/after shave; band aids; soap; as well as some personal items for a man or woman. These could be a scarf; hard candy; socks; pens; note pa-per; playing cards; or a Canadian memento. Please do not include anything in glass containers or

food items other than candies or tea.

Your kindness will touch the hearts of destitute seniors. Income tax receipts can be issued for cash donations, as well as for items pur-chased. Simply include your store receipt along with your name and address.

New signage completes transformation of Perths Full Circle TheatreEMC Entertainment It was a

gold letter day at Perths Full Circle Theatre (FCT) this past week when the community theatres exterior signs went up on the building. In keeping with the town whose motto is Make haste slowly, it took only a year and ten months from the offi -cial opening of the theatre to arrange the fi nances and the paperwork for the signage.

Lack of prominent signs has been one of the facilitys shortcomings over the past two seasons, as new patrons searched for the space and often ended up well out of town. The search is not helped by the fact that Googlemaps places the Full Circle Theatre on the wrong side of the Tay River, insisting that it is on the east bank, rather than west of the river, by the towns Old Burying Ground.

The signs are going up just in time to welcome new tenants for the summer of 2013, as the Classic The-atre Festival, the Ottawa Valleys professional summer theatre, move their base of operations into FCT, featuring two classic Broadway comedies which will run consecu-tively from July 12 through Sept. 1.

In keeping with the nature of the Full Circle Theatre, which was cre-ated largely by volunteers on a re-use, re-cycle, re-purpose basis, the materials for the signs are the very same materials which comprised the old signs on the building, which for more than 25 years announced the presence of Charlies Car Wash at 26 Craig St.

As the re-construction of the building progressed in 2010 and 2011, the signs were removed, re-paired, restored and re-confi gured to read Full Circle Theatre. Like the vintage theatre seats from Perths 1915 Balderson Theatre which have been refurbished for the Full Circle, older is often better.

The signs were one of the last major to-do items in the project, which began in 2009 and has seen a 65-year old car-wash remade into a 102-seat, ground-level, barrier-free theatre, offering both live en-tertainment and high-defi nition, wide-screen cinema events. From approximately 60 events in the the-atres initial season of 2011/2012, 2012/2013 saw more than 100 per-formances and 2013/2014 is prom-ising even more. New upgrades to the lighting system, coupled with 5.1 surround-sound audio, make FCT one of the most technically capable spaces in the area. An inti-mate, comfortable (air-conditioned) house, an attractive, bright lobby and extraordinary acoustics have made FCT a favourite with perform-ers and audience alike.

BarnDoor Productions, the resi-dent company, will be back in the fall with their 19th season one packed with some of the best Broadway plays of the last 20 years and more. Guest series including 2 Women Productions, the Perth Community Choir, Film Night International and Charles MacPhail Productions are also making FCT their home, along with single events and touring art-ists.

If you havent been to the Full Circle Theatre yet, drop by for great entertainment and a uniquely invit-ing and warm atmosphere. Now, with very visible outdoor signage,

you cant miss it!See more about Full Circle The-

COMMENTARY

Reader praises column enforcing pet owners to stoop and scoop

Congratulations, grads!EMC Editorial The halls of area schools now sit silent

for the summer, awaiting the return of students in Septem-ber. But not all will be returning.

Last week marked graduation ceremonies at high schools across the Upper Canada District School Board and Catho-lic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. Years of work were celebrated with the granting of a single piece of paper; a diploma that gives youth the freedom to reach for their dreams.

This feat is not to be taken lightly. Its a major accom-plishment in the step towards becoming an adult and enter-ing the workforce. In fact, according to a recent release by the Ministry of Education, the high school graduation rate continues to climb. In 2012, 83 per cent of high school stu-dents received their diplomas, which marks a 15 per cent jump from 2003-04 when that rate stood at 68 per cent. That means 115,000 more students walked across their schools stage to receive their hard-earned scroll. The ministry con-tinues to inch closer to its 85 per cent graduation rate goal.

Its easy to forget the feeling of entering a high school in grade 9 and feeling intimidated by the entire experi-ence. But it is the place where students truly mature and start to become the person they are destined to be. Over the course of the years, they have taken a variety of courses (some theyve liked, others not so much) but that experi-ence has led students to discover their true passions. They will now continue the next phase of their development in a post-secondary institution or wherever else their journey takes them.

Its also now time for other students to take their places as the positive leaders in their local schools, to show younger students the value of extra-curricular activities and becom-ing a part of a school they will spend so much time in.

DEAR EDITOR:Congratulations on Jeffrey Maguires column in the June 13

issue Twin community raises red fl ag on dog fouling, highlight-ing a common problem. But he wasnt just complaining. He was also offering a suggestion to solve the problem borrowed from their twin city Comrie in Scotland.

That column could well be repeated for any folk who didnt

see it. Essentially the solution is to place a little red fl ag on the mess alerts people to avoid stepping there, and also calls atten-tion to those who need to stoop and scoop.

Keep up the good work.

EMC Lifestyle Im telling you, shes too young, Mother said. Fa-ther said he milked a cow the day he learned to walk! Mother said thats nonsense, and you know it. Rarely did I have so much attention sent my way, and I was loving every minute of it. With four siblings, rarely was I singled out, but that day, I was getting my share.

The subject was if I was old enough to milk. Once a calf got to the cow stage, I lost interest in her, and I had little desire to sit with my head on her belly and try to get milk into a pail. But Father said it was time I did my share like everyone else in the family. Needless to say I was never consulted as to how I felt about the issue.

And so, on a Saturday it was, Fa-ther put a three-legged stool at the rear end of the quietest cow in the cow byre, put a pail under her, and without a word of instruction, told me to go ahead and milk!

The old cow turned her head in my direction, and then back to chew-ing her cud. After watching my three brothers and sister do the milking often enough, I fi gured there wasnt

much to it. Well, I pulled, and I tugged, and I spit on my hands, and kept saying sooo Bossie. Nothing worked.

The brothers were real pros at the job. The barn cats lined up on the other side of the gutter, and every so often, a squirt of milk would be head-ed in their direction, and without fail, the milk went right into their opened mouths. And here was I who couldnt even get a drop into the milk pail!

My arms ached right up to my shoulders, and a couple times I al-most fell off the three-legged stool. It was beyond me why the milk stool only had three legs in the fi rst place!

To add to my misery, it was fl y season too. The poor old cow kept swishing her tail trying to rid herself of the hateful pests, and with each swish, I took the full brunt square in the face!

Mother was right. I was too young for this job! But to convince Father was another matter.

First of all, I didnt like the cow byre. It was full of cobwebs, cows smelled differently from the horses. And I wouldnt put it past any one of

them to give me a good kick, espe-cially when I was engaged in some-thing as personal as tugging at her private parts.

Emerson, Everett and Earl were into the snickering, and I knew it wouldnt be long before I was into the tears.

It was my beloved sister Audrey who fi nally came to my rescue. She had fi nished milking her cows, the milk had been emptied into the cans, and she came over to where I was sit-ting hunched over, still tugging away with absolutely not a drop to show for my efforts!

Let me try, she said, and I gladly surrendered the stool.

The milk spewed out on the fi rst try with Audrey! I blamed it on the

cow! I thought I was doing exactly what my sister was doing, but it cer-tainly wasnt working for me, and I was convinced the cow didnt like me any more than I liked her.

Audrey tried her best to show me how to milk. Nothing worked. Final-ly, she went up to Father who was at the far end of the cow byre. Marys hands are too small, she said. And the cows too big, I offered.

Father ran his hand over my head. Even though it wasnt near my nose, I could smell cow off him, and milk, neither of which were my favourite odours. Well, well try again some other time, he said.

I was out of the barn before you could say milk pail. I ran to the house and told Mother I wanted to change my clothes. She knew exactly why. I bundled up what I had on in the barn, and brought the whole pile down to the summer kitchen to wait the Monday wash. I asked Mother for a pan of hot water and wash cloth and towel, which I hauled upstairs to the privacy of the bedroom. I washed every square inch of my body I could reach, but I thought I could still smell

the cow byre off my skin. I opened my sister Audreys drawer

of the little washstand we shared, and took out her precious can of Lily of the Valley talcum powder, and slath-ered it on with abandon. Then I put on clean clothes from the inside out!

When we sat down for supper, my try at milking was never mentioned. I fi gured the brothers had been warned not to bring up the subject. And I knew, without a doubt, my milking days were over...but only for the time being. Everyone had to pull her share back then. And I knew the time would come when I would be led back into the cow byre and made to stick at it until I could fi ll a milk pail like the brothers or my sister Audrey.

Not a word was spoken all during supper about how I had failed at a job that everyone worth his or her salt would be expected to do growing up on a farm long before modern milk-ing machines did the job for you.

Even my sister Audrey, who guarded her belongings like a mother hen guarding her chicks, never said a word about how I smelled of Lily of the Valley.

Champions for Kids Foundation honours major donors at recent celebrationEMC News The Upper Canada Dis-

trict School Board Champions for Kids Foundation honoured its major donors Wednesday, June 26 at its 2013 Friends of the Foundation Celebration.

The event is organized each year to recognize major donors to the founda-tion who give $500 to $10,000 to sup-port its work. Businesses honoured at the event were: Wills Transfer, The Mat-ilda Recreation Committee, LifeTouch Canada, PhotoVisions School Photog-raphy, Four-O-One Electric, the Ambas-sador Conference Resort, and David K. Thomas and Nancy Hanna.

Champions president David K. Thomas, who along with his wife Nancy Hanna is a major donor to the charity, thanked those in attendance at the cere-mony. Thomas told those gathered at the boards Brockville offi ce for the event that their donations make a real differ-ence in the lives of children in commu-nities served by the board.

He spoke of a family in Grenville County that was assisted by the founda-tion. The father, a successful business-man, was diagnosed with brain cancer and eventually passed away. The family was supported throughout the fathers ordeal. The foundation provided gas cards to fund travel costs associated with his treatment, as well as restau-rant gift cards so the family could enjoy meals together and have one less thing to worry about at the end of a treatment day.

The family is still struggling, but we showed them that this really, really big board could become very, very small and work to care for them and support them, said Thomas.

South Grenville District High School vice-principal Christie Reitsma told the

story of two children from a working class family who were helped by the foundation. The parents work hard, but cannot fi nd the money to fund summer activities for their children. The founda-tion approached the family and offered to fund summer camp for both children.

The camp, seeing what a great child the daughter was, has offered to make her a junior leader this summer.

The foundation was started in Janu-ary 2008 to assist children from disad-vantaged families to play sports and enjoy the arts. It also helps their fami-

lies cover costs associated with obtain-ing medical care such as gas costs for travel to hospital and parking passes. Since its founding, the charity has raised $700,000 to help children in need.

Organic means knowing whats on your plate

EMC Lifestyle The organic food and drink industry has expanded rapidly, experiencing an average growth of 20 per cent per year on a global scale.

What motivates people to buy organic foods? Health, wholesomeness, and re-spect for the environment are sure to be found at the top of the list.

An organic-certifi ed food is produced without the use of any chemical prod-ucts. The difference between organic and non-organic foods is the absence of all chemical pesticides, herbicides, and preservatives.

Eating organic, like our ancestors did, is the only way to avoid the involuntary consumption of substances that are po-tentially hazardous to our health.

Did you know that over time, the in-gestion of many food industry chemi-cal substances can lead to a weakening of the immune system and have harm-ful effects on the mental, cognitive, and physical development of children? In addition, numerous studies have shown that the current antibiotics resistance ob-served in humans is the direct result of the use of growth hormones and medica-tions given to cattle and pigs raised for slaughter. This is just one of the reasons why organic food is increasingly popular among consumers.

An organic product does not contain any more vitamins than a similar non-organic product. A carrot is still a carrot, whether its organic or not. Choosing to buy organic is based solely on ecological and social reasons. Buying an organic carrot means knowing exactly what is on your plate.

Also, buying locally produced organic foods means encouraging producers and reducing greenhouse gases produced by the transportation of food.

More than $4,500 raised at recent Champions for Kids Fun Run/WalkEMC News More than $4,500 was

raised at the Upper Canada District School Boards (UCDSB) fi fth annual Champions for Kids Foundation Fun Run/Walk called Strive for Five! held at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kempt-ville on June 16.

Despite the rain, an amazing 190+ participants laced up their sneakers, took to the trails and fi nished a one-kilometre or fi ve-kilometre walk/run as individual participants or centipede teams. Centi-pede teams are groups of fi ve to eight people who walk or run in costume and stay tied together in some unique way.

We are absolutely thrilled with the turnout of this years event, says Sarah Crawford, event chair. So many people brought their families and friends, and it was great to see their smiles throughout the morning.

Each year, prizes are awarded to the participant who raises the most money in pledges, has the best costume (for centipede teams), shows the best spirit, and is the youngest and most experi-enced.

This year, the participants who raised the most pledges were UCDSB building systems specialist Kevin Riddell and

UCDSB human resources partner Jen-nifer McDonald.

We really enjoy this event, and working with all the awesome people involved, says Riddell. It was also a special day for my little running buddy Alexa Powers. Shes nine-years-old, and completed her fi rst fi ve-kilometre run! Plus, she did it in 28.58! To see a big smile on her face as we splashed along, well, that made it extra special for me, too.

The best costume for the one-ki-lometre run was the Glen Tay Parent Council centipede team, sponsored by TD Canada Trust and the best fi ve-kilo-metre run centipede team costume went to the UCDSB Service Excellence team called, Service with a Smile.

The Spirit Award went to the group of runners representing Brockville Col-legiate Institute (BCI) including a cen-tipede team, sponsored by TD Canada Trust. The most experienced title went to Merv Hodgson, while a number of youngsters were recognized for their participation with a free cone coupon from Dairy Queen in Brockville.

In addition, UCDSB staff members were encouraged to enter school or de-

partment teams ahead of time, and they would be entered in a draw to win a free lunch. The group representing Caldwell Street Public School all the way from Carleton Place won the lunch.

As in previous years, this event part-nered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville which hosted Rib-fest at the same location.

Both events have one common goal in mind to support children in our communities, Crawford says.

The $4,500 raised will go to the foun-dation that supports families of children who cant afford to play sports or en-joy the arts outside of school hours, as well as families whose children require medical care.

In the past four years, we have con-tributed over $10,000 to Champions for Kids, says Crawford. It is truly re-warding to know that the money raised goes right back into the hands of fami-lies who see the benefi ts immediately.

Crawford would like to thank a num-ber of sponsors and contributors of the event, especially the TD Canada Trust locations in Kemptville and the Brock-ville Shopping Centre for their ongoing support. For the last three years, TD has sponsored student centipede teams from schools in their local area.

New this year, branch managers from Perth, Prescott and downtown Brock-ville joined in to sponsor teams from Glen Tay Public School, South Gren-

ville District High School, and BCI. Crawford would also like to thank

accountant Anthony Fritz for sponsor-ing a Lyn Public School team, Team Solutions for sponsoring a team from Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Lawrence College for sponsoring two teams to participate, and Walmart for sponsoring a student team from Kemptville Public School for the third year in a row.

Special thanks also go to Priority Management, Promotional Concepts in Brockville, Boston Pizza in Brockville, Tim Hortons in Kemptville, St. Law-rence Pools in Brockville, and the North Grenville District High School African drumming group for their donations of resources and time.
