Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre gear up for fall production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night For the past eight years, the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre has done an annual production of a Shakespearean play with teenage actors, modelled on the productions at the Stratford Festival (in the round, with minimal set, but with professional quality costumes, lighting, sound, and stagecraft) at the end of October: past productions have included Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, Othello, Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet and, most recently, King Lear. And for the past eight years, I've been their director. This October, we're doing Twelfth Night, the rapid fire romantic comedy about the misadventures of twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola disguises herself as a boy named Cesario, goes to work for Duke Orsino and promptly falls in love with him. Orsino, who in turn is in love with the Countess Olivia, sends Cesario to Olivia's house, to convince Olivia to marry him. Upon meeting Viola, however, Countess Olivia falls in love with Cesario, thinking she is a man. And all of this is mocked by the servants, especially Feste, the wise Fool, the smartest character on stage. For me, it's an honour to be doing it again — leading yet another group of gifted teenagers working in rehearsal for four solid months to present Shakespeare — one of the greatest challenges in the theatre for adults, let alone for young actors. So why do we do it? It's a good question and it doesn't have a simple answer. After all, doing Shakespeare is a lot of work: for the director, for the cast and for the crew. First off, there's the intimidation factor; who the heck are we out here in Carleton Place, to even attempt something that the greatest actors in the world approach with caution? The temptation, in the face of all that history, is to blow it off and treat it as a lark — and this company of talented young people has to resist that temptation and maintain their original respect for the material and for the greatest playwright in history. Then there's the difficulty in performance — doing Shakespeare is intense, with no breaks for a light-hearted song and dance number. As a performer, as a tech crew, you are working hard, all the time. You have to maintain the world of the play throughout every second of the performance, which can be exhausting. Finally, there's the challenge of drawing an audience into the theatre. Because for most people, Shakespeare is an occasional thing, and its reputation is that it's only for the hoity-toity crowd. Shakespeare is thought to be serious and challenging for an audience, not fun and to put an audience in the seats, the publicity people have to work hard just to get over that (untrue) prejudice. So, as I said, I'm the director for the eighth consecutive year. Why do I do this? More to the point, how do we do

The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre are preparing for their fall production of the Shakespeare classic, Twelfth Night. Back row, from left: Kevin Macmillan as Sebastian, Colleen Macmillan as Curio, Natalya Lunan George as Maria, Colm Cooney as Sir Toby Belch, Doug Campbell as Malvolio, Josh Gaines as Duke Orsino, Emily Hogan as Viola/Cesario, Ainsley Mohns as Valentine, Brady Mackay as The Priest. Front row, from left: Nadia Taylor-Meyer as Olivia, Claire Campbell as Fabian, Aidan Taylor-Meyer as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Kaitlyn Rossignol as Antonio and seated front, Julia Martin as Feste. The production opens Friday, Oct. 20. this? How do we keep the fire going, year after year and keep the excitement and the quality up? First, it's about the tradition. When we walk into the theatre, we are picking
up a baton that has been passed down through the history of performance — in addition to Shakespeare himself, all the participants in all the productions in all the theatres in all the world that
have come before us. You can feel the ghosts in the theatre, watching you as you approach the stage. Second, there's the excitement of the challenge. Both for the young actors and for the backstage crew who support them, it's in performing that the actors learn the answer to the questions that intrigue them the most: "What is it that makes a good actor, how do I learn it?" For the crew it's: "How do we set the mood, and carry it off ?" And for me as a director, the challenge is to honour Shakespeare's text and to achieve my objectives by making the actors' choices and the crew's support, fit into a production that engages and entertains the audience. Every rehearsal I have to remember the ultimate goal that I am pursuing. Third, the unexpected. As a director of teenagers doing Shakespeare I have been spoiled over and over, by serendipity — being surprised by something new all the time and never being bored. Fourth, the audience: When we're lucky, the audience, aware of the challenges we face, shows its appreciation

Presence of West Nile virus found locally in mosquitoes The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has been actively monitoring mosquitoes for West Nile virus this season. Recent sampling has identified positive mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus. Earlier this season, neighbouring health units including Ottawa, eastern Ontario (Cornwall) and KFLA (Kingston) Public Health have identified positive mosquitoes. This virus is spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. For most people, the risk of illness from West Nile virus is low. However, it can cause serious illness in others. With the recent warm temperatures mosquitoes have remained active late in the season. The health unit recommends that you take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites. The following measures can help reduce the risk of West Nile virus: Apply insect repellents sparingly to exposed skin. Effective repellents contain Deet or Icaridin. Be sure to follow directions and use age appropriate concentrations. DO NOT USE personal insect repellents on children under two years of age. Wear light-coloured clothing, long pants and long sleeves, as well as shoes and socks during peak mosquito times to prevent mosquito bites. Avoid being outside at dusk and dawn, as mosquitoes are most active at that time. Use netting when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened structure and to protect small babies from insect bites. Repair or replace old and torn screens in doors, windows, and vents that no longer prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Consult your health care provider if you suspect that you have an insect transmittable disease such as West Nile virus. More information regarding this disease and its symptoms can be found on our website http:// www.healthunit.org/westnile/. You can also call 1-800-660-5853 or connect with LGLHealthunit on Facebook and Twitter. Submitted by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit

SMITHS FALLS KIA
Author recounts true story of indigenous human zoo at Oct. 16 CFUW meeting in Perth The true story of how eight Inuit from Labrador were enticed to travel to Europe in 1880 to become part of a “cultural exhibit”, or human zoo, is nothing short of remarkable. Researcher France Rivet has brought this tragic tale to life in her book entitled In The Footsteps of Abraham Ulrikab, based on the diary of one of the Inuit men and extensive other sources. Europe’s fascination with global exploration in the 19th century was fuelled by travelling zoos established by men like Carl Hagenbeck, a German merchant who captured animals in nearly every continent for exhibition. To highlight the relationships between these exotic animals and human societies, scouts were sent around the world looking for examples of rare cultures. It is estimated that some 35,000 Africans, Asians, Inuit, and other indigenous peoples were deceived into accepting a free trip to Europe, where they were put on display in travelling exhibitions so that spectators could view them in their “natural setting”. Abraham Ulrikab was a well-educated Inuk from Hebron, Labrador, who was curious to see the world. He brought his and another family, eight in all, to Europe for what they thought would be a financially-rewarding, one-year adventure.

Author France Rivet will speak about her book In The Footsteps of Abraham Ulrikab, during the Monday, Oct. 16 meeting of the Perth & District chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion.
Unfortunately, they did not receive the vaccinations for smallpox that were legally required for new arrivals, and the entire group succumbed to the disease — the first three in Germany and the other five during a stop in Paris. Abraham’s diary of their brief time in Europe was sent home to Labrador shortly after his death. Years later, France Rivet encountered this forgotten diary and was moved to learn more about the fate of the eight Inuit. She was amazed to discover that the skeletons of Abraham and four other Inuit were in storage in a Paris museum, more than 125 years after their deaths. In conjunction with Inuit leaders in Labrador, she is trying to repatriate the skeletons, finally bringing them home to rest. Come and hear Rivet recount this tale on Monday, Oct. 16 at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion (26 Beckwith St. E., Perth, Ont., K7H 1B5), starting promptly at 7 p.m. The talk by Rivet is free, presented by the Perth & District chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW). Copies of Rivet’s book (printed in both English and French) will be on sale for $30. Submitted by the Canadian Federation of University Women, Perth & District

Sweet sounds of seventh annual Merrickville’s Jazz Fest kicks off Oct. 12 The seventh annual edition of Merrickville’s Jazz Fest (MJF) kicks off this year with a Grand Opening celebration on Thursday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. in the Baldachin Ballroom in recognition of MJF sponsors and supporters and runs until our closing concert Sunday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. Featuring 15 stellar groups; a blend of local and out of town artists will treat your ears to lots of amazing jazz with veterans of the jazz scene as well as many up and coming newcomers that, years from now, you will be able to say that you saw live when they were early in their careers. Several groups have new CD releases or special projects to present to MJF audiences. Sam Kirmayer Quartet is the Saturday night closing concert and Sam is a highly talented young and engaging guitarist based in Montreal who has been described by Katie Malloch as having “a fearlessness and momentum that promises much, much more to come.” His style and his clear, direct tone are reminiscent of the guitar greats such as Wes Montgomery. In contrast, on Sunday afternoon, Jacques Kuba Seguin will bring his Odd Lot sextet project to the festival. He is a trumpet
player who has incorporated elements of Eastern European music styles and elements of electronica into his jazz compositions. He is an award-winning trumpeter and composer who has a distinctly unique sound to his jazz that will have you wanting to hear more by the end of his performance. The festival closing concert on Sunday will present a set by the fantastic Ottawa based Prime Rib Big Band. While only established about a year ago they have consistently played to full houses wherever they perform. The band includes some of the finest local musicians and with leader Ed Lister’s original charts and arrangements, the music of this 11-piece band will have you grinning from ear to ear. Our mission to bring more music to the village continues to expand, through a onetime special Guitar Master Clinic with Sam Kirmayer on Saturday afternoon. This clinic presents an amazing opportunity for both aspiring and experienced guitarists of all genres to refine their technique under the guidance of a master musician. This year’s edition will also see the introduction of a Sunday morning jazz worship service at Holy Trinity Anglican Church with Ottawa-based
Evensong Ensemble. Music & Our Spiritual Journey is a non-ticketed event open to the community at large. MJF is made possible by our generous sponsors, whom we gratefully acknowledge here. Our platinum level sponsors this year are: The Baldachin Inn, The Blue Pearl Foundation and Wick Witch Candle & Bath Co. Our gold level sponsors are: A Touch of Whimsy, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, RONA Kemptville Building Centre, Lark Spur Line Ltd. and RBC Royal Bank. Given the blend of straight ahead mainstream jazz, funky fusion and originality and the variety of local and out of town artists, you will want to get your weekend pass soon. For more information on our program, artists, venues and a complete list of our sponsors, please visit merrickvillesjazzfest.com. Tickets are reasonably priced and available for purchase on our website, The Knock Knock Shoppe or the Merrickville Book Emporium. Our opening night concert is free for sponsors and advance ticket holders. See you Oct. 12 to 15 for what promises to be an exciting weekend! Submitted by Merrickville’s Jazz Fest

Classic country music at Country Harvest Music Show Oct. 15 BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Yee-haw! The Country Harvest Music Show in Carleton Place returns on Oct. 15. The fall concert, now in its ninth year, is back at the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena). “It will be a great evening of country classic music,” organizer Bob White told the Canadian Gazette. “There will also be a special presentation.” The 2017 headliners are Brad Scott of Pakenham, Renfrew’s Bailey Rogers, Joanne Post of Madoc and the duo of Marty McTiernan from Clayton and Carleton Place’s Brad Munro. From the very beginning, White and Andy Bowes have been the driving force behind the Country Harvest Music Show.. “We really wanted to do a show in Carleton Place for seniors, for country music fans, and it needed to be in the fall – it needed to be when all the fairs were over,” White explained. “Also, the ticket price had to be affordable.” On Sunday, the doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the show beginning promptly at 7 p.m. Jimmy Simpson is handling the sound, and 2010 Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Charlie Kitts is back as MC. “Charlie is the best MC,” White
stated. “He keeps the show flowing, he keeps it on time.” The concert’s house band needs no introduction – comprised of Andy Bowes on bass, Brad Scott playing lead guitar, Wade Foster on fiddle, Al Bragg on pedal steel guitar and Mark Lemieux playing the drums. “Andy calls it a show band,” White said with a smile. Bragg was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997 as a member of Tenderfoot, one of the premiere bands to come out of the Ottawa Valley in the 1970’s. The Country Harvest Music Show is general admission, and the seating style is theatre. “This is not a dance,” White stressed. “It is a night for people to sit back and enjoy a great show.” With the show a licensed event, guests must be 19 years of age and older. “There will also be tea, coffee, water and soft drinks for sale,” White noted. Refreshments are not available during the show; however, they can be purchased beforehand and during the 20-minute intermission. The Carleton Place & District File photo Civitan Club will conduct a 50/50 Clarence Bowes performs during the 2015 Country Harvest Music draw and there will be a small silent Show. This year’s show is set for Oct. 15 at the Neelin Street Community auction. Centre and will feature a variety of Ottawa Valley talent. Proceeds from the first five years

of the Country Harvest Music Show went to the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium Restoration Fund. “We raised about $15,000, with the town matching the funds,” White explained. Now, all monies are directed to the Carleton Place Arena Building Fund. Country Harvest Music Show attendees come from all over: Carleton Place, Balderson, Lanark, Kemptville, Perth, Westport, Renfrew, Stittsville and more. Tickets are $15 per person. They are available in Carleton Place at the arena office, 75 Neelin St., and Graham’s Shoes, 139 Bridge St. Other outlets: Nicholson’s Sundries in Pakenham, 2529 County Rd. 29, and Mark’s Cobbler Shop in Perth, 98 Gore St. E. “Tickets are limited,” White said. “We encourage people not to wait.” The Country Harvest Music Show would not be possible without the support of its dedicated sponsors and many volunteers. In addition to plenty of parking, the arena is fully accessible (washrooms and elevator). Too, it is airconditioned. “This is not a late night,” White noted. “We are usually done around 9:45 p.m.” For additional information about the Country Harvest Music Show, contact White at 613-253-5046.
More Fire Prevention Tips! • Get your central heating system cleaned, inspected and serviced by a certified HVAC (heating, venting and air conditioning) contractor every year before using it. • Wood burning stoves should be examined and the flue and chimney checked for creosote buildup. • Remove fuel from lawn mowers before storing them for winter. • Don’t store cardboard boxes, paper or other flammable materials in the backyard. These materials provide ready fuel for a fire and all it takes is one spark. • Testing and maintenance requirements that apply to smoke alarm now apply to CO alarms For more helpful tips visit: www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/ english/FireMarshal/OFM_main.html This message was brought to you by the

COMMENTARY
Try to be cyber safe
O
ctober is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and law enforcement agencies are trying to use the opportunity to make the public more aware of the risks associated with being online. It is sometimes difficult for many of us to figure out which digital ads or social media posts are legitimate, which is why police are offering safety tips and best practices in order to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of fraud or identity theft. For example, the OPP’s campaign is focused on four broad themes: identity theft; online child safety; online shopping and safe trade zones; and the OPP cyber crime investigations team. Online and digital crimes in Canada are already estimated to total in the billions of dollars, and police are warning that the losses are expected to get even worse as next-generation crime devices and schemes evolve and become more advanced. We know that scams that are not that new are still making the rounds and
finding more victims, a recent example of which is a business that received unsolicited emails advertising heavy equipment for sale that were reportedly based on information lifted from legitimate auction and sales sites. The victim follows up with the apparently legit source of the emails and, after completing a wire transfer, is provided with excuses as to why the equipment has not been delivered and communicating has been difficult. In addition to using caution when dealing with unsolicited emails, the public is being reminded of caller ID spoofing in which the telephone number on display is a local or familiar number to trick the potential victim into placing trust with the caller when, in fact, the call could be coming from anywhere in the world. Try not to feel embarrassed about reporting a loss after being duped, police emphasize. You are not alone, and sharing your experience could save others from a similar outcome.

Then with a slotted spoon, she put them in the big brown bowl, and when they were cool enough to handle, with her well-scrubbed hands she squished out the stones, which were put on the breadboard. The pitted plums were then bottled. The stones were my treat. How I loved to smash them with the little kitchen hammer, and then eat the innards.

alone in the kitchen, just the two of us, there were other treats to come my way too. “How would you like some oven toast?” she might ask. Would I? My mouth would water just thinking of it. Thin slices of bread would be slathered with butter on both sides, and put on a wire rack over a tin pie plate, and put in the hot oven. I could hardly stand the wait, as it toasted on the topside, and then the slices were flipped over to turn a golden brown on the other. It was crisp when taken out of the oven, and piping hot, and I devoured yet another treat of that magic time alone with Mother in the kitchen. I loved when Mother was making relish this time of year.

LETTER
From page 8
Hundreds of local people signed a petition requesting that Lanark County desist from roadside spraying, and they asked for no-spray signs. And when this request was denied at the county level, protest signs advocating education over pesticides dotted the countryside. In 2017 Lanark County offered exemptions in the form of legal contracts for residents who did not want their roadsides sprayed. Friends of Lanark County printed notices of these exemptions and delivered them by hand – at very short notice – and advertised this option on their website. In this way, hundreds of residents who were unaware of this option, were notified and were thus able to apply. An impressive commitment was shown by several groups of citizens who stepped up to adopt roadsides and manage the wild parsnip on their own -- despite all the onerous conditions that needed to be met before a road could be adopted. This resulted in more than 60 lane-kilometres of roadside being managed in an

coming winters when those shelves in the dug-out under the house we called a cellar, were full of canned vegetables, preserves, jams and jellies. Mother would spend days this time of year, “putting down.” And if I happened to be in the kitchen when she was making cucumber relish, I never failed to have a cucumber sandwich.

environmentally sustainable way. The Adopt-A-Road experience reinforced the appreciation that wild parsnip is only a plant, and not to be feared. It has required persistent, sustained involvement, but the efforts of so many concerned citizens have shown positive results. Signage was erected, following pesticide application. The municipalities of Tay Valley, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith did not spray their municipal roads this year. Neither did the Township of Rideau Lakes. And the council of Tay Valley (which, of all the Lanark County municipalities, has the most county roads passing through it) sent a unanimously approved motion to Lanark County to halt spraying on county roads within their jurisdiction. To their great consternation, Lanark County council denied this request. Despite these events, there have been some positive changes at the county level. Several councillors and staff are reframing how they look at the issue of roadside spraying, and are more aware of the need to protect our sensitive water systems
and the plants that our pollinators depend on. A positive step this year was that several county roads were spot-sprayed instead of boom-sprayed, and so did not kill all flowering plants on the roadsides. As of last fall, Lanark County now has a vegetative management plan which gives them tools to use other than toxic pesticides. From my understanding, the two-year spray program is now over, and people have learned a great deal. The focus now needs to be on educating people about wild parsnip, and on restoring and replanting damaged areas. So, here’s looking at you, Lanark County, and hoping that this is the beginning of a constructive partnership. Let’s build together on the positive steps made. For this to happen, concerned citizens need to stay engaged, and advocate for true respect and collaboration from Lanark County council. After all, we are ALL environmental stewards, and accountable for the world we leave to future generations.
course, was a special treat. No one else in my family, it seemed to me, liked cucumber sandwiches. But I could make a meal of them, if I was allowed, but again Mother would say, “Don’t spoil your supper.” Any one of these special treats would have been enough to amply satisfy me to replace my dinner or supper if allowed. But Mother saw to it that what I got was ‘just a taste’. I would be expected to eat my dinner or supper as well. My sister Audrey, who was always concerned
about gaining weight, could never understand why I was as thin as rail with all I ate between meals, and would say she could gain a pound drinking water! It wouldn’t have mattered to me if I grew as big as a house, nothing would stop me from those kitchen treats I loved with a passion. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

The year Stompin' Tom first came to Carleton Place With the reopening of the former Mississippi Hotel in Carleton Place (now called The Grand Hotel), and this being Canada’s 150th birthday, perhaps it’s time again to look back at one of the town’s favourite stories. For it (the story) never seems to get old and continues to live on. Indeed, more than ever, the events surrounding Stompin’ Tom’s one-month visit during the Centennial Year have become solidified in the consciousness and social fabric of that community. The year was 1967 — Canada’s Centennial Year. A time to celebrate the past. A time for new beginnings. And it was also the year a certain roving troubadour, one remarkable woman, an Ottawa Valley town and a hotel that still exists all came together to make history. It was the year that Stompin’ Tom Connors first came to Carleton Place. The late Canadian country music icon referred to the old Mississippi Hotel (that still stands guard on the corner of Bridge Street and Lake Avenue, although its name has been changed) in Carleton Place as the “Grand Ole Lady.” And he had good reason to have fond memories of this treasured Ottawa Valley landmark. This is because he wrote one of his very first hit songs there, and Stompin’ Tom was not the kind of man to forget those people and places that had
helped him along the way. The song he wrote there was the great Ottawa Valley tribute tune Big Joe Mufferaw. On a warm summer’s day in early June, a relatively unknown singer by the name of Tom Connors rolled into Carleton Place, driving his pickup truck and parking it out back behind the legendary establishment. He walked inside, carrying his guitar and a piece of plywood. Four men were sitting around a table and Connors bought them all beer, with the understanding that they would cheer him on when he auditioned for the owner. The owner was none other the unforgettable (and inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame) Lorraine Lemay. Right up until the time of her death, she always referred to Tom Connors as “one of the finest gentleman I have ever met.” Connors got the job, and thus, a month-long engagement set the stage for one of Carleton Place’s “proudest moments” and the launch of Stompin’ Tom’s recording career. During his time there, he played three weeks at Mississippi Country (which the Mississippi Hotel was known as at the time), worked in the daytime with a local farmer, “jammed” with several local musicians and went through four sheets of plywood. He also played one week at the Kemptville
Tales from the Troubadour LYLE DILLABOUGH
Hotel (this is how he came up with the line, “the girl from Kemptville town” ... a line referring to Lorraine Lemay herself) and rode in what still remains as Carleton Place’s biggest parade ever on Dominion Day (July 1) 1967. It somehow seems the stuff of romantics or legend when one thinks of the unknown Connors driving his pickup with a sign reading simply “Tom Connors at the Mississippi Hotel” into history. People still talk of this tall, lanky man’s time in the Carleton Place area to this day. It seems that everyone who met him has a “Stompin’ Tom story” to tell. One thing is certain: he made a definite impression on all who saw him. In those days, Connors would sleep on a bed that he had set up in the back of his pickup. However, after much convincing on the part of Ms. Lemay, he finally agreed to accept her offer of a room in the hotel. “He just didn’t want to be a burden in any way,” Lemay said in an interview several years later.
Lemay also recalled how he worked on the lines of Big Joe Mufferaw day after day. “He kept asking me” she recalled, “do you think it’s any good, Mrs. Lemay? Do you think it’s any good?” Two years later, the song could be heard constantly on every country station in Canada. In 1990, the Mississippi Hotel was nearly demolished. Only a concerted effort on the part of a few dedicated locals ensured that this did not happen. That and a “public plea” made by none other than Connors himself. “All that can be done must be done to ensure the preservation of the ‘Grand Ole Lady,’” he declared in a written statement. And the rest is history, as the “Grand Ole Lady” was saved and thus it remains. In 1998, during a concert stop in Carleton Place, town officials attempted to present Connors with a plaque commemorating him on his contribution to the town and its history. But, in typical Connors fashion, he refused to accept it and the plaque was left with his manager. He was, however, very interested in knowing how his efforts to save the hotel turned out, and when Ms. Lemay passed away, he was grateful to be informed of her passing. Still, one could not be faulted for wondering why he never returned to pay a visit to Ms. Lemay. Some say this is due to the fact that the two of them
had a bit of a “thing” going back in ‘67, but who knows? When Connors passed away in March 2013, the national CBC and CTV television networks came to Carleton Place (at the Mississippi Hotel) to shoot footage on the Stompin’ Tom/ Carleton Place connection. A large mural was painted on the side of the building that stands beside the old hotel. Here is a line from the tune he wrote there. It reads, “And all the folks around Carleton Place knows the Mississippi rolled off of Big Joe’s face.” Saving the Grand Ole Lady In 1990, the year Stompin’ Tom helped to save the Mississippi hotel from demolition, there was a concerted effort on the part of some to ensure the survival of the “Grand Ole Lady.” Former Carleton Place Canadian editor Dianne Tysick Pinder-Moss was one of those who did her best by publishing everything she could to help keep the issue in the forefront of people’s minds at that time. The following is an example of this ongoing effort back then: Hotel should be saved, say area media/music celebrities. That appeared in the Canadian Gazette, written by myself, who was a special contributor in the day. Several Ottawa Valley celebrities have spoken out in favour of saving and preserving the 100-year-old Missisippi Hotel.

Postcards are yet another fast fading tradition When was the last time you sent a postcard while on holiday? Perhaps you are among those who have never sent a postcard? When was the last time you received a postcard? Personally I’m still attached to the long-standing tradition of sending postcards to family and friends while on vacation. First of all it’s a great way to show people where you are or where you have been recently. Over the years I’ve discovered that receiving a postcard is a “feel good” experience for many of those who find my written messages from abroad in their mailbox. After all, most of what we receive in the post in this country today is either bills or advertising flyers and leaflets. Discovering a letter or postcard in the mail is an experience to be savoured. I’m pleased to report that we still receive many Christmas/new year cards from family, friends and colleagues during the holiday season, although clearly Christmas cards are also a dying tradition. Admittedly despite sending cards while we are away we rarely receive them. In fact I can tell you exactly when the
last one arrived. It was last winter (early 2017) when a longtime friend and colleague sent us a card from Jamaica where she and her husband were enjoying a warm weather week. The beach photo on the front featuring endless sand under a brilliant sun gave us hope that the summer of 2017 would eventually arrive. It did of course, although not until about three weeks ago! So, what’s to blame for so many people abandoning the long fashionable tradition of sending postcards? Well, blame it on the internet. That’s what Britain’s oldest postcard printing company says. U.K. publisher J. Salmon will close its doors in December after printing postcards and calendars in Sevenoaks, Kent (just southeast of London) continuously since 1880. In announcing their pending closure last week a spokesperson for the firm told the BBC the business is no longer viable. They say it’s because the vast majority of travellers are now posting photographs and messages about their experiences on Facebook or Instagram or using WhatsApp to tell family,

friends and colleagues about their vacations. When you can contact people any time from anywhere at minimal cost via the World Wide Web, with personal photos from vacation spots attached, who needs to spend money on postcards and stamps? As anyone who has purchased them recently can tell you, stamps are expensive and they’re getting pricier. The move by J. Salmon simply confirms what most of us already know. Postcards and personal cards of all kinds are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. People today also send birthday and anniversary messages via the internet and post their condolences on funeral home websites. It’s a brave new world folks!

postcards have fallen out of favour there. A quarter century ago some 20 million postcards a year were purchased and sent by U.K. residents. Last year that number had been reduced to about five million. Postcards were first invented in the 19th century at a time when virtually all communication, even locally, was through the mail. In those days people would send a letter or card to nearby family and friends if they intended to drop over on
the weekend. In England at least mail delivery happened twice a day. It might have here too at one time. So if an expected letter or parcel didn’t arrive in the morning people hoped it would appear in “the second post” in the afternoon. In the past postcards often featured drawings or paintings of a particular place rather than the more modern photographs. They offered a visual experience for the recipient. Not only could people read

LAWS sees more than fifty cat, kitten adoptions during month of September Shout-out to our partner pet stores who continue to support LAWS by making space for our adoptable cats and kittens, caring for them during their stay, making sure they get all the cuddles they need until they are adopted, and handling the adoptions. We could not care for as many as we do without your invaluable help. September was a fantastic month for adoptions. We had more than 50 cat and kitten adoptions, and about half of them were from the pet stores. Many thanks to management and staff at Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place and Pet Valu stores in Carleton Place, Almonte and Perth. And thanks also to their customers who opened their hearts and gave these sweet creatures their “fur”ever homes. Please note, the shelter will be closed on Monday, Oct. 9. Happy Thanksgiving!

What you need: 81/2 x 11 piece of white paper, wrapping paper or tin foil, pencil with eraser, push pin, glue, crayons, and scissors. What to do: Print out the pinwheel on your white paper. Glue a piece of wrapping paper (or tin foil) to the back of the pinwheel before you cut it out. (If you don’t have wrapping paper or tin foil you can color the back of the paper with crayons.) Cut out the pinwheel and fold the corners with the circles into the circle in the middle. Stick your push pin through the circles and into the pencil eraser (have a grown-up help you with this).

If the packaging looks too good – check the ingredients BY MEENA TIPPER
Just because a food sounds healthy, doesn’t necessarily mean it is. The food industry uses words and phrases that can trick people into thinking packaged, processed foods are healthier than they actually are. A great example of how a product can be marketed as healthy is on snack products which claim to be “made with real fruit” or “provide one serving of fruit.” Fruit gummies, juice, and frozen treats claim to be healthy when there is little to no real fruit in them. When fruit is highly processed, it loses great things like fibre, nutrients and the feeling of fullness we get from eating whole fruit. The front of the package can be deceiving, so look at the ingredient list. If fruit juice or fruit concentrate are listed, this means added sugar, not actual fruit. Vegetables Many of us would like to increase

I read an associated story last week which debunks that idea. A survey done for Gatwick Airport (London’s second busiest aerial port of entry) showed that 38 per cent of the millennials surveyed claimed to have sent one or more postcards from the site of their last holiday. That compares to just 24 per cent of people over age 35 who were surveyed. I believe the cost of mailing items today, combined with the fact many people are taking shorter holidays — sea and river cruises spring to mind — are major contributing factors in the decline of postcards. In addition most vacations are busy which makes it less likely people will sit down and write out postcards. The number of cards I send these days is contingent on two things. The length of our holiday and the time I have available to purchase cards, write messages and then locate the
our vegetable intake. There are many ways that the food industry uses words or phrases to make it sound like their products can help with this, but these products do not measure up to an actual serving of vegetables (a half cup of fresh, frozen or canned vegetables; 1 cup of raw leafy greens). On the front of some packaged foods such as pasta, crackers, tortillas, veggie chips or sticks and juices it says they contain “real vegetables” or a “serving of vegetables.” There are also many vegetable powders added to foods to make them appear healthier, but they are not as healthy as whole vegetables. When vegetables are highly processed, they lose fibre, nutrients and water. It is important to look at the ingredient list, instead of the front of the box. Words like vegetable powder, extract or concentrate, are used to make you think the products contains actual vegetables. Even though whole potatoes, beets, kale, cauliflower and
stamps necessary to mail them. Although most good hotels are happy to provide stamps and post messages for guests. So it’s not that difficult. On my September visit to Ireland and England I only sent three postcards. Two went to uncles who live elsewhere in Ontario and the other was sent to my youngest sister and her family in Edmonton. I knew I’d be in touch with most of my regular postcard recipients at home before they received them. The fact I neglected to bring our address book was also a contributing factor. However, my uncle Wayne Watson in Toronto claims to have kept every holiday postcard I have ever sent him. And that’s a lot of postcards! That fact alone is enough to keep me firmly on the postcard bandwagon. If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.
Nutrition Tips broccoli are very healthy, the processed, powdered versions of these are not. The best way to get your vegetables is by eating whole vegetables; fresh, frozen or canned. You can lower the sodium content by rinsing canned vegetables. You can also increase your vegetable intake by adding chopped or blended vegetables to foods you normally eat like rice, potatoes, soups and homemade smoothies. Gluten-free Many food companies market foods as “glutenfree” in the hopes that people will think these foods are a healthier choice. Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat, barley and rye. It is harmless for most people except for those diagnosed with Celiac disease or a gluten allergy. For these people, a gluten-free diet is necessary for their health. However, for others, a gluten-free diet is not needed. A food product that is gluten-free is not necessarily healthier. Packaged foods such as gluten-free versions of cakes, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, muffins and granola bars may contain more sugar and sodium and less vitamins and fibre than the original versions. Use the
nutrition facts table to compare a gluten-free food to its regular version. Many foods are naturally gluten-free and are healthy for everyone including those with Celiac disease or a gluten allergy or intolerance. Some familiar gluten-free foods include vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy, seafood, beans, chickpeas, poultry, rice, potatoes and glutenfree whole grains such as rice, buckwheat and quinoa. Sodium “Made with the goodness of sea salt” is a common claim used by the food industry to make you think that a product with sea salt is better for you than a product made with iodized table salt. Sea salt, Himalayan salt, kosher and gourmet salts have the same amount of sodium as table salt, and are not healthier choices. Taste, texture and how they are made are the only differences. Different kinds of salt are marketed as being full of minerals; however, these minerals are in tiny amounts. The minerals from salt do not have a great impact on our total intake, since our main source of these minerals is from the food we eat. Table salt in Canada is supplemented with iodine to prevent iodine deficiency. Our bodies do not make
iodine, so we need to get it from foods. Iodine is found in seaweed, seafood, milk products, legumes and some vegetables and fruit, however, our main source is from iodized table salt. Iodine is important in thyroid function that influences growth, development and how our body uses energy. For healthy adults, the recommendation is 1500 mg of sodium per day which about 1/3 of a teaspoon. However, most of us eat
twice that amount. If you use salt of any kind, use less. Try to include more herbs and spices such as garlic, basil, oregano, or lemon to add more flavour to food. If you are comparing packaged products, use the nutrition facts table to choose products with five per cent or less daily value for sodium.

A peek at what goes on behind the scenes of a Kemptville Players production We are in the final weeks of rehearsals for our fall play Sadie Flynn Comes To Big Oak and the Kemptville Players Inc. production team is busy finalizing the hundreds of details that get the play onto the stage. While the actors are busy polishing their performances, I thought it would interest the readers to find out how we actually get our actors battle ready and prepared for that scariest of moments — opening night! The actors are the ones who get the applause, but for every actor you see on stage, there at least three to four people making the production possible. These are the unseen heroes of theatre and each one plays a vitally important role in getting the production to the stage. Once we have the director and producer in place, the production team takes over to find the stage manager, front of house manager, set builders, set designers and all the sound and lights technical help. We have to organize a publicity team, a props team, hairdressers, costume dressers and makeup artists — and we have a prompter just in case! We look for people to design our flyers and program and someone to take charge of ticket sales from collecting them from their outlets to selling them by phone and online. We need people to set up the publicity pho-

Park dedicated to celebrate volunteer Ormond 'Orm' Giles BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The park in one of Carleton Place’s newest neighbourhoods was officially named Giles Park on Friday, Sept. 29 in honour of Ormond ‘Orm’ Giles. Giles Park is located at 24 Lockhard Campbell Way in the HighGate subdivision, situated between High Street and Town Line Road West. “Thank you all for being here,” deputy mayor Jerry Flynn said to the large gathering of people at the park unveiling, which included Orm’s daughter and son, Sylvia and Stephen Giles. Flynn served as the afternoon’s MC, and festivities included speeches and ribbon and cake cuttings. “Orm has made a difference in Carleton Place,” the deputy mayor said. “He is one of our town fathers.” About Orm Orm was born in Carleton Place in 1929, and he has lived there his whole life. “He was married to Mary for 49 years,” Flynn stated. “Sadly, she passed away in 2006.” Orm has been involved in community service for decades, starting at age 17 when he was instrumental in forming the 16-20 Club, a youth club located in the old Odd Fellows Hall at the corner of Albert and Beckwith streets. Orm was involved in minor hockey in both Carleton Place and Ottawa, serving in a number of capacities: coach, referee, fundraiser and convenor. “In and around 1966, with the old
and Orm was the chair,” the deputy beancars.ca mayor added. “In 1969, between July 5 and July 12, Carleton Place celebrated with hundreds of people by participating in parades, dressing for the era, midway rides, musical entertainment in Riverside Park and even a rodeo.” at Profits from the weeklong celebration – $5,000 – were turned over to the building fund for the new Neelin Bean Chevrolet 613-257-2432 Street arena. Buick GMC Ltd. 375 McNeely Ave, Carleton Place “The sod turning took place the same week as the celebration,” Flynn noted. Orm has been a lifelong member of St. James Anglican Church, serving on parish council a number of times, and he is presently the St. James Cemetery board chair. “He was a longtime Carleton Place council member, serving just over three decades, including a few years as we do” deputy reeve,” Flynn stated. “Helping you is what Orm spent 22 years on county 24 Lansdowne Avenue, Carleton Place council, and he was even appointed 613-253-3300 warden.

Coverall near Pakenham with 1,600 hay bales goes up in flames Ottawa Fire Services (OFS) crews battled a fire that involved 1,600 bales of hay in a coverall structure at 3741 Dominion Springs Road near Kinburn Side Road. The fire was deemed under control at 7:41 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 2 and crews worked
throughout the night. Overhaul operations have been ongoing and fire crews will remain on scene for the remainder of the day to ensure all hot spots are extinguished. “We wish to clarify at this time that the fire is being extinguished exclusively by water,” reads a press release. Using foam was considered but upon
further consideration it would have damaged the farmer’s crop fields that are in close proximity to the fire. Therefore, no foam was used during this incident. Overhaul operations consist primarily of firefighters soaking bales of hay and working closely with two heavy equipment operators who are spreading the wet hay over the surround-
ing fields to ensure that fire can no longer spread in the bales. “We again want to thank all the agencies that collaborated in this incident to ensure scene and personnel safety.” Namely the surrounding fire apparatus and personnel from Mississippi
Mills - Almonte and Pakenham fire stations. “Thank you as well as our partners in emergency and protective services Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Services and Salvation Army for great team work.”
Lastly, the coverall structure solely housed hay and the structure itself was not constructed of wood. There are no reported injuries at this fire. An investigator was on scene to assess the scene in order to determine the cause.

town hall,” the deputy mayor continued, and along with other members of council, he was a big part in having the clock put back in the tower.” The achievements continue ... Orm is a founding member of the building committee for Elizabeth Court, a residence for seniors in Carleton Place. He served on the board for 23 years. Further accomplishments: past president of Land O’ Lakes Shrine Club; 30-year member of Tunis Shriners (Ottawa); longtime member of St. John’s Masonic Lodge No. 63 in Carleton Place; Carleton Place Canoe Club, active from a boy until the mid’70s; an early member of the Mississippi Mudds, including board member for three years; served 11 years on the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority board, representing Carleton Place; received the 125th Anniver-
sary of the Confederation of Canada Medal in 1992; and a recipient of Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002. “Welcome to Giles Park!” Orm told the crowd. He thanked the town’s parks and recreation staff, in particular manager Joanne Henderson. “To be honest, this is an honour,” Orm noted, and “it is hard to imagine I have been volunteering for over 70 years.” “It seems like I only started this journey yesterday,” he continued. “Time flies when you are having fun.” Orm was thrilled to see some of his former council colleagues in attendance, and he thanked them for their support over the years. “We laid a good foundation for the future of Carleton Place,” the honouree stated. Adding a bit of humour to the oc-
casion, Orm noted: “In my election of 1969, only 28 per cent of residents voted. I guess it was the town’s good fortune because after that they got me for more than 30 years.” Orm called volunteers a community’s most important resource ... volunteering is what makes a community strong because it brings people together, sharing goals and successes. He thanked his friends and family for sharing the park dedication with him. Some travelled a long way to be there. “I have been able to accomplish a lot because of my late wife and children,” Orm added. “They have been my greatest supporters and sometimes my worst critics.” “Growing up, I know it was not always easy having a politician for a father, but I hope I have been able to lead by example ... I hope I have made you proud,” he concluded.

Carleton Place firefighters get assist in upgrading skills with $5,000 grant BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Enbridge, in partnership with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council, is helping the Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place purchase firefighting training materials. On Sept. 26, during a meeting of Carleton Place council, Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) fire Chief Les Reynolds accepted a $5,000 cheque from Jamie LeBlanc, Enbridge’s director of customer connections and construction, and Stéphane Dubuc, the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council's (FMPFSC) fire protection adviser. “Rest assured the money will be put to good use,” Reynolds said. He noted the funds are the result of Project Assist. The initiative supplements existing training for Ontario volunteer and composite fire departments in the communities where Enbridge operates. “This year, Enbridge divided $100,000 between 20 departments,” the fire chief explained. “We applied, and we were successful.” “This is the second time we have been a recipient of this
$5,000 grant,” Reynolds continued. The first time was in 2012, and the funds were used to purchase a full set of training videos. On Tuesday, Reynolds brought a copy of Essentials of Firefighting with him, which has become “the standard textbook in training firefighters in the province.” “We issue a copy to every new recruit, and every member of our department has a copy,” he continued. “Publishers update it every once in a while, so we are in need of new copies of version six.” Essentials of Firefighting retails for $94.15. “Safety is a priority at Enbridge and we are proud to support Ontario firefighters who share in our commitment to help keep our communities safe,” LeBlanc said. “Providing funding to first responders to allow them to update their training materials, in partnership with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council, is something Enbridge is pleased to do.” Dubuc stressed adherence to work standards is vital for firefighters, and “training is a key component in the fire service.” “I cannot stress enough how
much we appreciate this support from Enbridge and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council,” Reynolds said. “With the ever increasing training requirements that face small fire services, grants such as this enable us to ensure that our firefighters have access to the latest training resources.” “As far and I am concerned,” the fire chief added, “Enbridge is one of the greatest corporate citizens that we have. They also have Project Zero, which is where they provide departments with combination smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms for the most vulnerable sectors of the population.” Reynolds highlighted Enbridge’s “excellent training campus in the Markham area, which is made available to fire services across the province to train on how to deal with natural gas emergencies.” “This is an example of crown corporations, private corporations working with municipalities to update critical information,” Mayor Louis Antonakos commented. “Corporate neighbours like Enbridge are a tremendous asset for our municipality and on behalf of council and our com-

munity, I want to thank them,” he added. The OWFC has protected the people of Carleton Place for 142 years, since 1875. The department encompasses four full-time staff and 24 volunteer firefighters. With more than a 165-year history, Enbridge distributes
natural gas to over two million customers in Ontario. A registered charity established in 1993, the FMPFSC’s mission is to help create “a world where no one is hurt by fire.” The council, chaired by the Ontario Fire Marshal and supported by the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management,
promotes fire prevention and public education by way of sponsorships and partnerships with several groups and individuals with an interest in public safety. Since the launch of Project Assist in 2012, 86 fire departments in the province have received additional firefighter training.

Finland’s Lapland Chamber Orchestra to open Almonte in Concert's 2017-18 season The most northerly professional orchestra in Finland — and in the European Union — is set to launch Almonte in Concert's 38th season on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 1:30 p.m. In existence since 1972, the 45-year-old orchestra has embarked on its first North American tour, with performances in only a few selected venues. Conductor John Storgårds, the orchestra’s artistic director since 1996, also serves as principal guest conductor of Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra. And here’s a double treat for concert goers: Storgårds is an accomplished violinist and will perform as the soloist in the Lapland Chamber Orchestra’s performance of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius’ Suite for Violin and
String Orchestra, one of the works on the program being presented in Almonte. Although written in 1929 and dating from Sibelius’ mature period, this work has remained unknown to musicians and to the general public. It was not until some 25 years after the composer’s death that the Suite was rediscovered. It was Storgårds who gave its world première in December 1990. The orchestra will also perform Edward Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, one of that composer’s earliest compositions to maintain a place of prominence in the standard orchestral repertory, and among the most frequently performed of his orchestral works. Also on Submitted photo the program in Almonte are four of Claude Debussy’s Finland’s Lapland Chamber Orchestra, above, will open the 38th season of Almonte in preludes for piano, arranged Concert on Sunday, Oct. 15. This is the 45-year-old orchestra’s first North American tour.

for chamber orchestra by Sven Birch. In his cycle of 24 preludes, Debussy sought to create new sounds and to evoke increasingly abstract images for listeners to envision. The concert will close with another Finnish work by Kalevi Aho, whose reputation as one of today's leading orchestral composers has been steadily growing. His Symphony No. 14 — scored for strings, winds, and percussion — entitled Rituals was composed for Storgårds and the Lapland Chamber Orchestra. The work was premièred and recorded by them, in the presence of the composer. Before the concert, Maestro Storgårds will give an engaging introductory talk. Tickets are selling fast; in order not to miss this rare opportunity of hearing the Lapland Chamber Orchestra and conductor in an innovative and exciting concert right here in our community, we encourage you to purchase yours now. Tickets are available online at www.almonteinconcert.com and at Mill Street Books in Almonte.

Vacation mode for three weeks I’m in vacation mode … for three weeks! It’s hard to believe that it was just a year ago that I had a vacation. Well, a day here and there doesn’t really count, because I didn’t get a chance to fully disconnect from work mode. I’ve been taking time in October to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage on several road trips, always with a camera in hand. The past two years, I vegged out in front of the television and watched my Blue Jays in a playoff run. Not this year though, danged those birds! So I figured we’d try something a little more fun and exciting this year. We’re getting married! Well, the truth is, by the time you read this column in the Oct. 5 paper, we will have tied the knot in a sunrise ceremony in Kingston, with just Mom, our officiant, and the photographer by our sides. We have both been down this path before. We’ve had a few marriages between us, but there is no doubt in my mind that we’ll get this one right. You would think we wouldn’t bother at this stage in life. We weren’t going to. One of our first conversations was how we were not going to travel down this road again. Ha! Famous last words. But this one is at least going to be fun! Sunrise ceremony and a sunset dinner cruise. It is pretty laid back for the most part. I just handed over a few hundred bucks to our officiant who came up with the flowers, the venue, the witnesses, photographer/videographer, cruise and a breakfast basket. Tadah! That was easy, and stress free. After some discussion on my name change, Sweet Baby and I have come to a compromise. I will keep my maiden name for work, and change it to his in my personal life. Our waterside service under the protection of a gazebo will have some spiritual aspects to it. We’re not of the religious faith, so we will
LAURIE WEIR Weir View just be one with nature. Then we’ll do a sunset cruise to cap our day. Funny sidebar: Sweet Baby quit smoking about 18 months ago, so he’s put on a bit of weight. He’s not huge by any means, but his size 30 pants were more than a little snug. One wrong move and it would have been lights-out! My wedding dress, on the other hand, was quite large when I tried it on just last week. I guess the hiring of a personal trainer and cutting of carbs and sugars for the past month has been successful so far. As for Lexi during this adventure, we wanted to have her with us as a flower girl and all that, but she’d probably be in the lake before we said our vows. So she will be having some fun at a kennel, with her obedience trainer. (Maybe she’ll come back with better manners – like NO barking and NO jumping! I’m hopeful.) She seems cool with the kennel as we went for a visit a week ago, and now she has some new friends. She didn’t want to leave, so I know she’ll be having fun while we miss her like crazy. Mom is our only invited guest, and I didn’t want her to go to the trouble of trying to hold onto Lex. She’d be in the lake too! It’s our first time leaving her (aside from at the vet when she was spayed) so I’m sure I’ll be making a few phone calls or emailing just to ensure she’s cool. In the meantime, we’ll pick her up after we’ve stayed in Kingston a few days, and then we’ll be at a cottage for a week. There are trails to explore, books to be read, some fish to catch, sunrises to enjoy and sunsets to chase. And when I come back to reality on Oct. 23, I will still be me – but behind the scenes I will enjoy being Mrs. Sweet Baby.

Carleton place appreciation night moves from Friday to Saturday BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The following are issues discussed by Carleton Place council members during the corporate services, community issues and planning and protection meetings, held Sept. 19. This year, Carleton Place’s appreciation night is on a Saturday – Dec. 9. Previously, the event has been held on a Friday night. During the festivities, the municipality hands out its long service awards and honours its employees with perfect attendance. Too, the town’s citizen of the year is announced. Each year, the mayor, deputy mayor and councillors to oversee a number of tasks: invitation list, food and beverage, coat check, decorations, entertainment, MC and greeting. “Do we want to just stick with what we have done the last two years?” Coun. Theresa Fritz asked. “It works fairly well, and it is easy.” Appreciation night is held in the large upstairs hall at the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena). “I would like to look after the program (MC) this year,” mayor Louis Antonakos said. “It is the last year of our council term, and it is likely the last year for a couple of our staff members too.” “I certainly enjoy doing it (MC),” Coun. Sean Redmond stated. “I have done it for the previous two years.” “People say I do not talk too much,” he joked. “I would be happy to do it again.” In the end, Coun. Ross Trimble will look after the invitation list, and Coun. Brian Doucett will take care of food and beverage. The coat check is once again the responsibility of Coun. Doug Black, and the mayor and town staff will be in charge of decorations. Deputy mayor Jerry Flynn has lined up the entertainment, and Coun. Theresa Fritz will greet guests upon their arrival on Dec. 9. The MC duties fall to Redmond, with the mayor lending assistance. Committee/board updates Coun. Sean Redmond, council’s representative on the municipal heritage committee, noted Carleton Place held its Doors Open Ontario event Sept. 16-17, sponsored by the local municipal heritage committee and assisted by the Ontario Heritage Trust. The event showcased 11 sites. “Although not all attendance numbers and surveys have been returned, the event was a great success,” Redmond said. “The Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum had 222 people through its doors on Saturday and 175 on Sunday.” The majority of visitors were from Carleton Place, but others came from Ottawa, Osgoode, Kitchener,
Kanata, Perth and Appleton. The most visited locations were the town hall, museum and the Grand Hotel. “Several business owners on the main street commented on the increase in foot traffic over the weekend,” Redmond stated. “One owner noted they were not just walking around but spending too.” “A nice story ... one couple went through Zion Memorial United Church on Saturday, and they were so impressed, they returned and attended service on Sunday,” the councillor continued. Redmond volunteered at the town hall during Doors Open, and he noted the traffic was non-stop from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Other members of council and town staff helping out during the event: Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn, Coun. Theresa Fritz, Coun. Doug Black and clerk Duncan Rogers. Fritz, council’s connection to Downtown Carleton Place, noted the “extremely successful” Bridge St. Summer Fest in August, which saw hundreds of people, resident and visitors, converge on the downtown corridor. “It came in under budget, we received strong reviews from vendors and attendees, and the little changes that were made to the event this year definitely made a difference,” she said. Looking ahead, Downtown Carleton Place will hold a trick or treat event as well as a great pumpkin hunt closer to Halloween. Owing to a board decision, staff member Kate Murray will now be referred to as Downtown Carleton Place co-ordinator. Flynn, the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce’s council representative, noted the organization is in good shape financially. “The golf tournament on Sept. 15 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club raised over $19,000,” he said. The chamber is set to host its fifth annual Business Awards of Excellence Gala on Oct. 20 at the Grand Hotel. The event highlights the achievements and growth exhibited by local business owners. Tickets are $80 per person or $600 for a table of eight. Reporting on daycare activities, Fritz noted, Tracy Freill is the new director of child care services for Carleton Place, taking over for Jacqueline Leach who recently retired. “Tracy has been with the daycare for many years ... she knows the students and staff,” Fritz added. “She is settling in nicely.” Financially, at the end of Aug. 31 there was a surplus of $114,000; however, there are always things to spend the money on, including washers and dryers. Freill is currently working on the department’s 2018 budget. “We just finished the licensing for the Francis Street location, which
was an involved process,” Fritz advised. The infant and toddler daycare programs (Francis Street) are full, and the school age program (Carambeck Community Centre) is almost full. An air conditioner was recently installed in the kitchen at the Francis Street location. Sewer and water budget Treasurer Phil Hogan presented the town’s 2018 sewer and water budget to the public on Sept. 19, during the corporate services meeting. This is Hogan’s final sewer and water budget, owing to his upcoming retirement. Beginning with the January billing, Carleton Place residents will swallow a 1.8-per cent increase in their sewer and water rates. A household with one to two people would see a bill of $872.33 for the year, which represents a $15.42 hike. Owing to quarterly billings, the increase amounts to $3.86. A home with three to five people would pay $916.35 in 2018. The increase of $16.20 works out to $4.05 per invoice. “The average age of the underground pipe is just under 25 (24.97) years,” Hogan stated, and “this is quite good for the town ... we are in pretty good shape.” Much work was com-
pleted on the town’s underground infrastructure in the 1980s, the treasurer continued, with upgrades occurring every decade since then. “There are very few kilometres of pipe in the ground older than 1960,” he said. The following are issues discussed by Carleton Place council members during the regular and policy review meetings, held Sept. 12. Council members made the rare move of not awarding the contract for Carambeck site works. Instead, the work will be re-tendered in early 2018, with the hope of obtaining better quotes. On Sept. 7, the following bids were received for the work, which includes the new snow dump and dog park, as well as the Carambeck parking lot): Ottawa Greenbelt, $649,119.01; Cavanagh construction, $706,208.30; and Crains’ Construction, $724,307.40. “We certainly do not do this very often,” chief administrative officer (CAO) Paul Knowles stated. “Typically, you choose the low bidder and award the contract.” “However, we just feel these prices are way too high,” he continued. “Hopefully, we can do better, even though there is no guarantee of that.” The 2017 budget for
Carambeck site works was $602,000. “I think the prices are high because the contractors are way too busy,” Knowles stated. “It is the wrong time to ask for prices.” Mayor Louis Antonakos was present at the tender opening on Sept. 7. He, too, shared the CAO’s concerns about high prices. “Frankly, I cannot recall the last time we did this,” he added. “Carleton Place
is fairly good at sticking to the purchasing policy, tendering policy and being open and transparent.” The mayor called the move a good decision for ratepayers. “Yes, across the board, the construction industry is hectic,” Coun. Sean Redmond said, and “prices for everything have gone way up.” “However, I think they will soften in the future,” he added.

Little Black Dress Event celebrates five years in perfect style BY TARA GESNER
Mountain’s battle commenced in February 2011 while out on a date with her then boyfriend, Matt. The right side of her face started to twitch. “I woke up in the car with him,” she said, “and paramedics were in my face.” Mountain had suffered a seizure, and another while at the hospital. “I was taken for some scans, and they sat us down and told me I had a brain tumour,” she recalled. After two weeks in the hospital, Mountain underwent brain surgery on March 7, and two days later she went home. “I learned what I had on my right frontal lobe was a grade two or three tumour,” she said, “but nobody had told me the word cancer yet, so I felt I had dodged a bullet.” Recovery was difficult, and agonizing headaches were the result of an infection. “For 10 weeks, I got to carry around a very nice fanny pack of pumps that led tubes of antibiotics up inside my arm and into my chest,” Mountain said. She also underwent 30 rounds of radiation. “I just did not want chemotherapy because I knew my long, dark hair would fall out,” Mountain said, “and it would really mean I had cancer, not

A few hundred women from Carleton Place and area gathered at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton on Sept. 16 for the fifth anniversary of the Little Black Dress Event. Although no two black dresses were alike, the guests had one thing in common — they know someone who has been affected by cancer. The Little Black Dress Event is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society, organized by a wonderful, dedicated committee which is chaired by Carol Dryburgh. “I am very proud of these ladies,” Dryburgh said, and “a quote comes to mind when I think of each of them. “The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others,” she noted. The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based charitable organization of volunteers whose mission is to eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life of those living with the disease. The organization’s vision: "Creating a world where no Canadian fears cancer,” Dryburgh said. “Although short and sweet, it is a big vision for them to have — one I hope we are able to meet one day,” she added. Festivities on Saturday included silent and live auctions, prizes, dinner (executive chef Brad Cunningham), music (DJ Rico Falsetto), dancing, games, a red carpet (for arrivals), photo booth (Michael Gauthier of Freedom Photography) and more. Once again, Roger Wells was the MC, and the evening’s special guest speaker was cancer survivor Kimberly Mountain (nee Pearson). The event’s motto: She believed she could, so she did. “I had a dream,” Dryburgh said with a laugh. She stressed the members of the organizing committee have been believers right from the very start. Too, “Former Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc and I had a little chat when this dream of mine happened,” Dryburgh continued. “She also believed ... thank you so much, Wendy.” For the first four years, the Little Black Dress Event was held in the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena. One of the highlights on Saturday — the Tree of Hope. A lavender piece of paper shaped like a dress adorned each place setting. On it, guests were invited to write the name of a loved one or a special message of hope. Volunteers collected the dresses, placing them on a white-lighted tree. The names and messages on the Tree of Hope are meant to give strength and love to those fighting and living with cancer. “I am going to take all those dress-

just a brain tumour.” Then came the day that brought her whole life crashing down around her. Referred to an oncologist, Mountain met with the doctor to review the results of her MRIs. She recalled the doctor sat her down, held her hand and said: “I know the rest of the doctors are probably telling you brain tumours and cancer are different, but as far as I see it, you have abnormal cells growing in your brain that means you have cancer.” “My world went blurry,” Mountain said, and “I really cried.” For one month she endured daily rounds of radiation, in addition to chemotherapy pills. Stronger chemotherapy medication followed for six months. Mountain took her last dose of chemotherapy medication on January 2012, kissing them goodbye before she swallowed them. A subsequent MRI revealed no tumour had grown back, and Mountain heard the words: “You are normal.” As a result of her ordeal, Mountain’s family is much closer, and she has learned about true love. “Matt never left my side for a second, and he brought me on trips every See DRESS page A/CP11

es and make a huge collage for next year,” Dryburgh said. A memory chair was placed at the front of the room, honouring and remembering “all the people who could not be with us today,” Dryburgh explained. “There were five other faces at this event last year, and sadly, they are not with us tonight,” she added. Guest speaker If Mountain’s name sounds familiar, it should. “Kim was our speaker our very first year,” Dryburgh said. Mountain fought brain cancer six years ago. Today, she is “cancer free,” spreading the word to other fighters to value each day, to be a proud cancer survivor. “And remember to dance in the rain,” she stressed.

weekend — to amusement parks or for long drives in the convertible,” Mountain said. “We also visited Disney World, since all I could think of during my brain surgery was how happy and carefree it was there.” Hakuna Matata (no worries!) became her motto, and it is tattooed on the back of her neck as a reminder. Although Mountain’s hair will never be the same, she has found some humour in the situation. “I can do my hair in 10 seconds,” she said with a laugh, “and I can change the colour — blond or pink to match my car.” Mountain explained the Canadian Cancer Society fitted her with a wig made from human hair. In a touching moment, she removed her long, black wig, which earned whistles, applause and a standing ovation from the room. The Little Black Dress Event’s platinum sponsor was Valley Granite & Tile (Lisa and Brad Occomore), and the gold sponsor was Mitchell’s Your Independent Grocer (Joyce and Jeff Mitchell). The organizing committee ex-
tended its sincere thanks and appreciation for guests’ support and generosity. “Thank you so much for being our supporters!” Dryburgh said. All funds collected during the event will be donated directly to the Canadian Cancer Society in support of research. In terms of amount raised, “we topped last year’s $22,000,” Dry-
burgh said. “We should do $30,000, when everything is counted ... yay!” Plans are already in the works for the 2018 Little Black Dress Event, which takes place at the Canadian Golf & Country Club on Sept. 15. Tickets will go on sale May 1. More information about the Little Black Dress Event can be found at https://cplittleblackdressevent.wordpress.com.

Dillabough releases video accompanying his song, ‘Proud Canadians’ BY EVELYN HARFORD
tgesner@metroland.com
Local musician, Lyle Dillabough, has released a video to accompany his song “Proud Canadians” – written almost two decades ago. “This song is authentic,” he said. “It captures the reality of being a Canadian.” And with this year centering around Canada 150 celebrations – there's no time like the present to mark the anniversary with the revival of the local song. The video now accompanying "Proud Canadians" illustrates the story within the song, which traverses Canadian culture from coast to coast, from the 19th century to present day. It touches on themes of immigration, indigenous heritage and what Dillabough called "true Canadiana." When Dillabough was asked whether he’s a proud Canadian, his answer came easy. “Where else would you want to be from?” he asked. “We’re so lucky.” Dillabough spoke of the prosperous country, safe streets and the beautiful nature that surrounds us. “What’s better than the Ottawa Valley? You got it all,” he said. “The water, the trees; it’s beautiful.” Another musician local to the Ottawa Valley, Freddy Dixon, touted the song’s praise during a gathering with Lyle’s supporters on Thursday, Aug. 24, at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls.
Evelyn Harford/Metroland
Supporters of Lyle Dillabough, who recently launched a music video for his song, Proud Canadians, came out to celebrate the video’s release on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2017, outside the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. Front row, from left to right: Freddy Dixon, Gary Comeau, Dave White. Back row from left to right: Jerry Flynn, Nancy Kerr-Wilson, Lyle Dillabough, Gary Strike, Dennis Staples. “I think it’s a really good song,” he said. “It’s Canadiana, and that what it’s all about.” Dillabough started to write the song in 1998 with some inspiration from his friend, and former Carleton Place town councillor, Gary Strike. “He got to me thinking,” said Dillabough of Strike. “Imagine if someone just wrote a song about different generations of Canadians from the 18th century to the present day.”
Dillabough finished the chorus to “Proud Canadians” during a trip to Strike’s cottage, and once finished and recorded, it played on local radio stations. Strike helped Dillabough financially with getting the song recorded and produced. “The song got plenty of local coverage and CTV featured it just prior to Canada Day that year,” he wrote in a follow-up email with the Smiths Falls
Record News. Dillabough ended up rerecording the song in 2000; the track used in the song’s music video Over the years, he said, the song has been played all over the world. For some reason, said Dillabough, they like to play it in Scotland. While Dillabough was living in Pembroke, a number of soldiers were killed in Afghanistan – their bodies were brought back to Petawawa,
where they had been stationed. Dillabough recalled that as the soldiers were brought back home, the song, "Proud Canadians", played over the radio. “I was kind of touched by that,” he said. Dillabough, who has been in the hospital for much of the summer struggling with health issues which almost ended his life, said the process of making the music video helped him feel better. “It’s a miracle that I’m alive – I’m still here for a reason,” he said. While Dillabough was struggling with his health issues, Strike said he mentioned to him that he was surprised that no one he was aware of produced a song for the 150th. So, Strike, thinking Dillabough's song fit perfectly with the anniversary, convinced him to re-release it as a musical video and helped him through the process. The video, produced by Kirk Armstrong, was uploaded on Aug. 21. – and has over 500 views. “All we’re asking is that people go to YouTube, watch it for yourself; if you like it, share it with a friend, comment,” said Dillabough. Dillabough said social media has helped spread the message and opened doors for listeners to be free to enjoy music without gatekeepers like record labels deciding what’s good and what’s bad.

Judging honours went to Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn, Denise Tessier and Emily Ballinger of Waterside Retirement Community and Canadian Gazette reporter Tara Gesner.

Routine maintenance, what is needed and what might not be: Car Counsellor A few weeks back, CBC’s Marketplace television show did a segment on dealership service departments that was less than flattering. But, first, some disclosure; I have spent the majority of my career working in the parts and service departments of authorized dealerships and continue to do so to this day. In case you missed this episode, it involved a consumer taking her new-to-her 10-year-old Honda Civic into an authorized Toronto dealership for a routine service inspection. The vehicle received a thorough precheck from an independent licensed technician, who gave it a clean bill of health with the exception of the need to replace the wiper blades and rotate the tires. CBC’s volunteer consumer then recorded exactly what the dealership’s service consultant recommended after completing a general ‘peace of mind’ inspection. As you might suspect (because it was the subject of a consumer affairs program), the service adviser suggested maintenance and repairs that the indie tech never thought was needed in the first place. They suggested the need to replace the rear brake shoes and drums, along with a brake fluid flush. In another example, a CBC employee took his 2013 Jeep Wrangler into another Toronto dealership with less than 10,000 kilometres on and received a full page of recommended maintenance items, including spark plug replacement, air filter, fluid changes — and the list went on. The whole gist of the exercise was to point out the differences between what certain dealership service de-
partments recommend for maintenance and what the factory owner’s manuals actually list. This issue is a main point of contention between vehicle owners and their selling dealerships, and causes more grief than almost anything else in the industry. On one side, yes, there are dealerships that upsell (recommend additional services) to the point of fraud; and on the other side, there are vehicle manufacturers that grossly understate their products’ needs for routine servicing, to the point that they actually cause their customers more time and money. As an example, many vehicles today use platinum-tipped spark plugs that have a reliable lifespan of up to 160,000 kilometres. Great, you might say; but, if you bring an eightyear-old vehicle to your tech with 160,000 kilometres on and ask for a spark plug replacement, the odds of getting them all out (no matter how carefully a tech might try) without breaking one are extremely low. This will lead to additional labour costs, and in some circumstances, the need to replace a cylinder head at a very high cost. Only a few carmakers got smart and recommended that these plugs be inspected at 50,000-kilometre intervals — even when they’re designed to last three times that distance — because a proper inspection would mean they’d be removed, reducing the risk of them being seized and breaking when replacement time rolled around. When it comes to fluid replacements (another item brought up in the Marketplace piece), remember
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
that automakers like to protect their own interests. If they list a transmission, for example, as having lifetime fluid (meaning no changes ever), in reality that’s for the life that the carmaker is responsible for under the terms of the warranty and not necessarily the consumers’ expectations. And, as I’ve written many times before, having your engine’s oil changed only once a year or less
means that no qualified tech will ever have a regular and timely look under the hood or under the vehicle to check for critical items that you may never know are faulty, until they break completely and leave you stranded on the side of the road — or worse. The answer: take the time to build a good working relationship with your automotive service provider and (as Marketplace suggests) learn the details of your vehicle’s maintenance schedule by taking the few minutes needed to review your owner’s manual. Then, if your shop is suggesting something you don’t find in that book, ask questions and have the shop point out the benefits of completing that work or if it can be put off to a later date. After all,
carmakers know that flashy styling and great performance is what it takes to sell their products, but good service providers know that excellent customer service and fair prices will keep you coming back. If you have any questions, opinions or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line (by email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, Ont., K7A 4T1). When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume, I can’t always promise replies). Yours in service Brian Turner

HOLLOWAY Richard Charles
Born in 1938 in Mombasa, Kenya, Richard led a charmed childhood with his parents and two siblings sailing dinghies in Mombasa Harbour and on the reef in the Indian Ocean. He attended Duke of York school in Nairobi for 4 years and later surveyed the country with the Kenya Survey Department. In his early twenties, he left for London and studied at the Hammersmith School of Engineering then came to Toronto in 1966. Qualifying as a Professional Engineer in Ontario, he practiced in Toronto as a structural engineer at two major companies and then on his own, designing First Canadian Place and Mount Sinai Hospital among many other major structures. He then became expert in the design of tower cranes used to build tall buildings. On a blind date in Toronto, he met the love of his life Peggy Dinsmore, and after eleven years of marriage they found their beautiful daughter Adia, the “gift” of their life together, and the apple of her father’s eye. Sailing boats (big and small) was Richard’s passion. He raced and cruised 40+ foot yachts through the Great Lakes for years in between avidly running (including two marathons) and playing squash. After twenty years in Toronto, Richard, Peggy and 2-year-old Adia set out for a four-year adventure in Kenya - providing many more happy hours with friends and sailing at the Mombasa Yacht Club. Returning to Merrickville, he took a new work direction designing airport approach light towers with Millard Towers. He was very proud of and well respected for his engineering expertise and innovation. Richard’s new consuming interests became swimming and riding horses with Adia, and golfing with friends, enjoying many years at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. Throughout it all, he was a tireless reader with complete collections of Louis L’Amour and many other authors including most of the many science fiction authors. Richard passed away peacefully at home a few days after his and Peggy’s 45th wedding anniversary. Richard was a devoted father, husband and friend to many and is fondly remembered as an intelligent, disciplined, quiet, thoughtful, generous and honest gentleman: an example to us all. He is survived by Peggy, daughter Adia Holloway (Shawn McEwen), beloved grandchildren Ashton & Brooklyn Lake and Carter & Emma McEwen, brother David in England, sister Marion Magee in Winnipeg, respected brothers-in law Jim Dinsmore (Roseanne) and Ted Dinsmore (Joey Gerritse) and many nephews (notably a special relationship with Gord Magee) and nieces in Canada and England. A celebration of life for Richard will be held on October 22nd, between 1–4 pm at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club. You are invited to drop in and join his family and friends in remembering and honouring him.

A Heartfelt Thank-You From The Family Of Nancy Campbell It is never easy to lose someone that you love deeply, but it is made more difficult when it is before their time and from something like Cancer. The first person the family would like to thank is Nancy herself. It is not an easy battle to take on Cancer, but Nancy did it with strength, dignity and grace. Through her courageous battle it was her strength to beat it that pushed the rest of her family to continue in the fight with her. Nancy was the kindest of people and touched the heart in all those who had the pleasure to know her. The loving, kind and thoughtful person she was will live on in the memories of all those who knew her. In this difficult time the reassurance that she will be remembered fondly is comforting. The family would like to sincerely thank: The staff at KGH Cancer Center, the staff at both the Perth and Smiths Falls Hospitals, the many Nurses and Support Workers from Bayshore Home Health Care. As well, a huge Thank-You to the Perth Civitan Club for the medical supplies needed for Nancy at home. We would like to send a special Thank-you to Nancy’s sister Melba Jarvis, Donald’s sisters Faye Mason & Judy (Grant) Gawley as well to family friend Colleen Shwetz (Family), for their continuous love and support from making meals, lifting spirits and just being there when we needed someone to listen. Your thoughtfulness will never be forgotten. To the remaining family, friends and neighbors who visited, send cards and well wishes, your kindness meant a lot to Nancy and will never be forgotten. Thank-you to the staff at Blair and Son Funeral Home in helping us navigate through this difficult time. You were all very professional, assuring and comforting. All Our Thanks From, Husband, Donald Campbell, Nancy’s Children and Grandchildren

Hi My Manno, I just looked at the calendar it says it’s been a year but Manno that can’t be, it feels like just yesterday. When someone took you home, someone loved you more than people left behind… We all know who that was. My darling Manno you meant so much to everyone who knew you. God blessed you with so many gifts, your art no matter what you put your hand to, especially your photography. But the greatest gift God blessed you with was your love, understanding and sense of family. You were a Godsent to me and loved me so much as I do you. But more than that you were an amazing Husband, Dad, Grandfather, Son, Brother, Brother-inlaw, Uncle, Great Uncle, and Friend. There are so many things that everyone misses about you, I know I miss everything. But the things our children and grandchildren will miss is your way to listen, and sense of simple adventure. From looking at toadstools and imagining a family living under them, or going for a walk down the path even though you knew it was going to rain or sitting in a hammock at the cabin. But the one thing I miss the most is your laughter, yes even your stupid jokes. One thing God didn’t bless you with is organization, and you can see by our garage and basement. Now Manno I have to stay here for now, in case you forgot we have a big family. I need them and they need me, including Cooper and Barney. The one thing that has given me solace over the last few months is knowing your soul is finally at peace. There is so much more I would like to tell everyone about you but it would be the biggest book ever written. Hey Manno there is an idea, maybe Caroline could help me get it published. On that glorious wonderful day when we meet again, best be warning them in Heaven that there will be a lot of old time Rock and Roll. Now please promise me Manno you won’t forget your slippery shoes. Love you so much My Manno, From the women who is so blessed to be called Mrs. Sandra McParlan. Thanks for choosing me.

The Carleton Place Canadians defeated the Hawkesbury Hawks 6-1 on Sunday, Oct. 1. Above, Canadians players Tim Theocharidis passes the puck to Jack Clark during game action.
Canadians get revenge against Hawkesbury Hawks with 6-1 win
The Carleton Place Canadians were a motivated team on Sunday, Oct. 1 against the Hawkesbury Hawks after losing to the Hawks two days prior, and that motivation turned into a 6-1 win for Carleton Place. Players and coaching staff called Friday’s 2-1 loss to Hawkesbury “disappointing”, which made Sunday’s win that much better. “It was good to see the guys bounce back,” Canadians coach Jason Clarke said. “They beat us on Friday night, they scored first during the game, so it was good to see us get off to a good start after that.” Zachary Fournier opened the scoring with a power play goal that appeared to get the Hawks excited, but the Canadians handled the rush of adrenaline Hawkesbury had after the goal. Carleton Place kept pushing and a nice twoon-one rush with Ben Tupker and Jack Clark put the Canadians on the board with Clark’s goal. “It gave us some confidence going into the second period,” assistant captain Tim Theocharidis said. “If we didn’t, I’m sure we would have been fine and keep the gas pedal to the floor.” Carleton Place scored a pair of eye-catching goals in the second period to extend its lead to 3-1. New-comer Haydn
Hopkins tipped in the pass from Connor Hill 0:55 into the period for his first goal in his first game with the Canadians. Near the middle of the period, Travis Broughman took the hit to make the play and move the puck ahead for Sam Allison to set up Peyton Francis with a two-on-one goal. “(Hopkins) had a goal and an assist with getting here late on a plane from British Columbia and not really knowing the guys and his line-mates and having practiced yet,” Clarke said. “I thought he played pretty well, he was physical and plays a 200-foot game. He played in Erie last year, won an OHL xhampionship and played under Chris Knoblauch and plays the game the right way.” The third period saw Francis get his second goal of the game surrounded by a pair of goals from Aidan Girduckis for his first and second goals of the season. “Felt good to get my first goals of the year. It’s been 12 games now and it’s just nice to get that off my shoulders,” he expressed. “I tried not to think about it and just play my game and eventually it would come.” “‘Ducky’ should probably have a few more goals, just hasn’t had a lot of luck,” Clarke added. “I thought he worked really hard [on Sunday]. He knew he wasn’t very
good on Friday and we had a discussion about it. It was really good to see him come out and have a really good, solid game after having just a subpar performance on Friday.” Another player who responded from a coach-proclaimed sub-par performance was goaltender Jeremie Forget as he made 19 saves in the victory. “I thought Forget played really well,” Clarke said. “I thought he made the stops he had to and the goal that was scored was an in-tight rebound where a D-man should have boxed his guy out.” The previous two games, Carleton Place felt it out played its opponents but was unable to get rewarded offensively. Clarke said the ‘puckluck’ the Canadians didn’t get those two games came to them on Sunday to help them capitalize on the chances they continued to create. “Just re-ensured for us that we know we can score goals and we should be doing it night in and out,” Theocharidis added. Carleton Place will look to continue its offensive prowess in the first installment of the Highway 15 battle as the Canadians will travel to face the Smiths Falls Bears on Friday, Oct. 6.

This is the time of the year when many investors take stock (no pun intended) of their investments and look at some tax-planning opportunities. The elimination of the Capital Gains Tax on donations of publicly traded securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, segregated funds) since 2006 is a great opportunity for donors who have made gains in the market and are looking to rebalance their portfolios and crystallize some of those gains. If that is the case, and you are looking to re arrange your portfolio, now is a good time to “put yourself in the picture” by making a gift of securities to the Digital Imaging campaign at the Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor Foundation, and taking advantage of the additional tax break. If you still like the security, you can buy it back with cash. That is more taxefficient than making the donation with cash. When you transfer securities directly as a donation to a charitable organization such as the Foundation, the taxable amount is zero percent of the capital gain. (The same benefit applies to estates as well, so talk to your lawyer about a gift of securities in your will.) Several of the recent supporters of the diagnostic imaging campaign have donated publically traded stocks. We hope you will keep in mind your dedication to the Almonte Hospital and Fairview Manor. A gift of securities is the perfect way to save on your taxes and “put yourself in the picture.” Please talk to your tax adviser, and then call Al Roberts at 613-2500, ext. 2297.
