Complaint filed against Carleton Place mayor BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos is the subject of a new complaint to the town’s integrity commissioner. Local resident and former mayor Paul Dulmage filed a grievance with Caledon lawyer Robert Swayze against Antonakos, which alleges “a severe breach of the council code of conduct.” The Canadian Gazette obtained a copy of Dulmage’s complaint, which was submitted to the clerk’s office in Carleton Place on Oct. 6. The grievance stems from Swayze’s report on an earlier complaint of misconduct against Antonakos, which was made by area resident and Carleton Place property manager Wally Thorbjornsson. In the report, made public on May 5 and presented to council on May 9, Swayze found a serious breach of the council code of conduct by Antonakos …there was disclosure of at least one in-camera meeting. In the integrity commissioner’s own words: “...clandestinely recording and playing a tape of a closed session dealing with the sale of municipal land, for the person bidding on the land, is
the most egregious disclosure of confidential information I have ever encountered in nine years serving as an integrity commissioner.” Dulmage claims, Antonakos, in a Facebook post on May 4, published “a portion of the report you personally drafted before his council deemed it due to go public on May 9.” By doing so, Dulmage feels the mayor “violated the code of conduct by releasing sensitive information before the official date.” Too, Dulmage alleges the mayor is guilty of “tainting the findings by publishing only portions of the content.” “This only served to skew public opinion ... effectively discrediting the important findings in this case,” he notes. “This is by far the most underhanded way to manipulate the population he has vowed to serve.” Furthermore, in Antonakos’ Facebook post on May 4, he states, “The integrity commissioner has verbally advised me that it would be a conflict if I participated in the meeting on May 9.” In his complaint to Swayze, Dulmage questions the truth of the mayor’s statement.

Build a Mountain of Food launches its 11th annual campaign Community food blitzes kick off Nov. 4 in Almonte, Carleton Place support the Portland Food Bank. Later in the afternoon, from 1 to 4 p.m., the campaign will be in Merrickville at the Merrickville Food Market for the Merrickville Lions Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign. The final food blitz takes place Saturday, Dec. 16 in Athens from 9 a.m. to noon at the Athens Fresh Market in support of the Athens Food Bank. The campaign then moves to Delta from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Delta Country Market to benefit the Delta Food Bank. Colton thanked partner food blitz locations for the donations of their location, time and support. “The other thing they do is they put together pre-packaged bags,” he said. “Since the pre-packaged bags have started, I think that’s made it very, very easy and convenient for our Build a Mountain of Food participants to go into a store and know that

The countdown is on! In less than a month, the Build a Mountain of Food campaign will kick off its 11th year raising funds and food for area food banks. Food bank representatives, sponsors and media partners gathered at Slackoni’s Parkside Bistro in Perth’s Best Western Plus Oct. 4 to launch the initiative. “It doesn’t seem that far away,” remarked Build a Mountain of Food co-ordinator Hugh Colton. “...We’re here to do what we do, as a team together, and as a unit, to proceed with the 2017 Build a Mountain of Food campaign throughout 11 community food banks.” Those food banks benefit the communities of Almonte, Carleton Place, Perth, Lanark, Smiths Falls, Portland, Westport, Elgin, Merrickville, Athens and Delta. One of the biggest changes to the campaign is a new title sponsor, Hinton Auto Group. “...Over the past 10 years we were associated with Town & Country Chrysler and we would like to say thank you to Brad (owner Brad Kyle) and Town & Country for the support we got over those 10 years,” Colton commented. “And I would also like you to meet the new company that I’m with right at the moment, known as Hinton Auto Group. This is a very family-related business and they do strongly believe in giving back to their communities.” Hinton Auto Group owner John Hinton, his son Jeff Hinton, A&B Ford general manager Jeff Hinton, son-in-law Jason Jamieson, Smiths Falls Ford’s sales manager and Dane Fellows, general manager of Smiths Falls Ford were on hand to lend their support during the launch. The Hinton Auto Group includes Hinton Dodge Chrysler and A&B Ford in Perth, as well as Smiths Falls Ford and Smiths Falls Nissan. “This is a family that has provided tremendous support,” Colton stressed. “From me, to you guys, thank you very much. They are going to be a big part of Build a Mountain of Food for 2017.” Over the past 10 years, 720,217 lbs of food has been collected through the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, in addition to $372,026.65 in cash. Last year, 141,552 pounds of food were donated and $70,207.78 in cash was realized. “I want to add something that’s interesting,” noted longtime campaign volunteer Ed Chenard. “We did some calculations last year and our campaign on a per capita basis, raises more food and money than any of the campaigns conducted in the Ottawa area. All food and cash raised in each respective community stays at that food

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., volunteers will be stationed at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer in Almonte, as well as Giant Tiger, Mitchell’s Your Independent Grocer and FreshCo in Carleton Place. The six-week campaign takes a break in its second week, to mark Remembrance Day on Nov. 11. “Nov. 11 is on a Saturday this year, Remembrance Day, and out of respect to our military we will not roll
with Build a Mountain that day,” Colton explained. “We want to make sure we respect the people that keep us safe 24/7, 365 days a year.” Build a Mountain of Food picks back up on Saturday, Nov. 18 in Perth at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer, Foodsmiths and Giant Tiger from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to benefit the Perth Good Food Bank. Also on Nov. 18, volunteers will be at the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry and Thrift Store from 9 a.m. to noon to benefit the Lanark Food Bank. On Saturday, Nov. 25, Build a Mountain of Food is in Smiths Falls from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, Food Basics, The Garden Market and Giant Tiger in support of the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. Then on Saturday, Dec. 2 it’s off to Westport from 9 a.m. to noon, where the community can support the Westport Food Bank at Kudrinko’s. On the same day, from 1 to 4 p.m., the campaign hits Elgin’s Gordanier Freshmart to benefit the Elgin Food Bank. Saturday, Dec. 9 will see Build a Mountain of Food in Portland from 9 a.m. to noon at the Portland LCBO and RBC. Donations made there will

Regional tourism businesses to share ideas at OH! Tourism Summit On Oct. 23, tourism operators from across Ontario’s Highlands are invited to step away from the counters of local bakeries and cafés; the busy check-in desks at resorts and inns; and the displays at museums and shops to do the one thing they’ve been meaning to “get to” during the busy summer tourism season — connect with each other. OH! Tourism Summit, the largest rural tourism conference in the region, is just around the corner. It will provide the vibrant tourism community in Ontario’s Highlands with a rare opportunity to come together under one roof to share ideas, find new inspiration, learn from one another and celebrate successes. Hosted at The Village Playhouse in Bancroft, this year’s conference says goodbye to board tables and breakout rooms, shaking up the typical conference vibe and making it easier than ever for attendees to ignite new relationships in a relaxed theatre setting. “Nobody understands the rural tourism landscape in Ontario’s Highlands better than the operators and organizations in our region who live out their passions and overcome challenges every day,” says Stephanie Hessel, tourism development co-ordinator for the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO). “For our committed operators, step-

Above, a previous year’s summit. ping away from their business for a day may be difficult — their dedication is what makes our region one of the most welcoming to visit in Ontario — but there is immense value in building a network and starting a dialogue. We are stronger together.” The OHTO expects about 100 tourism operators from between Haliburton Highlands and the Ottawa Valley at OH! Tourism Summit. A highlight of the program is an afternoon session, Turning Ideas Into Action: Industry Peer Success Stories, which will see local tourism operators at all stages of business share firsthand how they found inspira-
tion for great ideas and turned them into reality. The panel will also demonstrate how focusing on creating a quality tourism product in Ontario’s Highlands has allowed them to share their stories with visitors in the digital space, as well as the steps they have taken to work together with their industry peers to succeed in a uniquely large and rural tourism environment. “Our geographic area is so large that coming together as a group, even once a year, allows us to rekindle old friendships and alliances, meet new business owners and talk about the concerns that we share collectively — and to strategically plan as a group on how to best

tackle these issues,” says Liz Murphy, co-owner of Calabogie Peaks Resort in the Ottawa Valley. “It is heartening to feel you are not isolated and that others are experiencing the same thing.” Murphy will be speaking on the industry panel, discussing how a shift to digital marketing has allowed Calabogie Peaks Resort to better leverage their story, as well as other strategies the business is using to stand out to visitors and impact the larger community. Other speakers include Andre Rieux of Cartwright Springs Brewery in Pakenham, who started his business after discovering an artesian spring on his property and now focuses on providing a complete visitor experience; Cathy Reside of The Good Food Tour in Almonte, a newcomer who has taken the tourism industry by storm since launching
in spring 2017; Tegan Legge of the Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve, whose passion for promoting the region is contagious; and Luisa Sorrentino, marketing co-ordinator for Hastings County, who works with local storytellers to capture the many incredible tourism experiences in the region. The conference will also include networking activities and entrance to the Hastings County Tourism Awards, taking place in the evening to celebrate local tourism champions. The day will also feature a keynote address by Chris Williams, vice-president of digital assets with the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA), about ways for small businesses to make an impact on digital platforms using shoestring budgets. This year’s conference theme is Tourism in a Digital Age.
Tickets for OH! Tourism Summit can be purchased online for a flat rate of $35. The annual general meeting portion of the day, taking place from 11:15 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on Oct. 23, is free to attend. Full conference details, including registration and program information, can be found at www.ohtourismsummit.ca.

The community-sponsored and volunteer-run festival offers a variety of jazz music delivered by emerging and experienced jazz musicians.

Some of the venues include the Baldachin Inn Restaurant, Goose & Gridiron Restaurant & Pub, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Merrickville Legion, Merrickville United Church, and St. Ann Catholic Church. Between shows, you may stroll amid stores and boutiques whose proprietors provide the much-appreciated sponsorship and other forms of support to the festival.

the bag is packed with exactly what that specific food bank needs. It makes it very easy for them to pick up a pre-packaged bag and put it in the van.” This year, Build a Mountain of Food honours area men Doug Good and Mike Carty, who lost their lives in March after their vehicle fell through the ice on Big Rideau Lake. Colton said both Good and Carty were pillars of their community. “Doug Good was a councillor in Rideau Lakes Township and he was also a huge supporter of Build a Mountain of Food,” he explained. “Mike Carty supported Build a Mountain of Food, but Mike Carty to his community, was unbelievable, second to none.” Colton told a story of how Carty would wake up early in the morning after a snowfall and ensure all vehicles in the seniors’ complex in Portland were cleared. “That was one of the many things that Mike Carty did,” he continued. “So, in honour of these two gentlemen...this year is dedicated to them. I think it’s only appropriate that we move forward with them looking down on us.” Community campaigns already
underway While the food blitzes don’t begin until Nov. 4, Colton said community groups are already coming forward with donations from their own food drives, including the Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club Ladies League, who have given the campaign an early infusion. Their recent drive collected 11,070 pounds of food and $7,454 in cash donations. “This is a huge jump start that we got early on from these ladies,” Colton said, adding that over the past eight years, the ladies golf league has raised $52,000 and collected 14,000 pounds of food. Carolina Retirement Suites in Perth also did their own campaign and will be holding future drives to support Build a Mountain of Food. Colton encouraged other groups, whether it be local schools or churches, to join in. “When other groups get campaigns going, we’d be more than happy to do an interview and say thank you,” he said. “Those campaigns are very, very important to the ongoing total of Build a Mountain of Food.” Local Christmas parades also drum up more cash and food donations for the cam-
paign each year. Colton noted a Build a Mountain of Food float was created last year and he hopes to do another this year in the three parades the campaign has already confirmed in Carleton Place, Perth and Smiths Falls. Colton is excited to hit the ground running with the campaign and seeing the generosity and spirit of community at work. “I’m humbled by the amount of generosity that happens with this campaign. It’s amazing,” he remarked. “The generosity continues each and every year. We never set a goal, but just get out there and do our best and we’ve had some positive results.” “If we collect 10 pounds of food in a community, that’s 10 more pounds than they had the day before and more cash donations they didn’t have the day before,” Colton added. To keep up to date on the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, visit www.buildamountainoffood.com. “Thirty days from now, we’re on the road. So between now and those 30 days, it’s time to start spreading the word in your communities about Build a Mountain of Food,” Colton concluded.

Upper Canada District School Board observes 2017 Orange Shirt Day Staff and students across the Upper Canada District School Board observed Orange Shirt Day on Friday, raising awareness about the harm caused to Indigenous peoples by the residential school system. Staff and students honoured victims and survivors of the system by wearing orange shirts. Board schools also featured presentations by Indigenous speakers, and organized class presentations and drum-
ming workshops with an Algonquin elder. Superintendent Jodie Barrett said the day was a way the board could honour the spirit of the calls to action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. “I’m so proud of our staff and students for wearing orange,” said Barrett. “It’s another way we can help redress the tragic legacy of Canada’s residential school system

and move toward reconciliation and healing. “The day helps our staff and students gain a deeper understanding of the impact of the system on our Indigenous partners, and will make certain future generations are aware of it, so we can learn from the
mistakes of the past.” Several schools held special events to mark the day including: • Pakenham Public School — Algonquin Elder Danka Brewer addressed classes during several workshops about the residential school system.
In age-appropriate discussions, Brewer talked about the system, how it impacted Indigenous families and the abuse that occurred. Brewer also gave students a greater understanding of Indigenous culture by hosting Algonquin drumming workshops, and explaining the meaning of different Indigenous symbols. At the end of the day, all students gathered in the schoolyard for a group photo wearing
their orange shirts. • Athens District High School: About 40 students and staff participated by wearing orange shirts.

CDSBEO’s special education department launches new teacher portal The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Oct. 3 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO special education department has recently launched a new teacher portal which allows all teachers, SERTs, and administrators to quickly gather information about students, and create student profiles. Teachers can develop, access and complete Individual Education Plans (IEPs) using the portal, which helps to simplify the process of gathering evidence and presenting data in an aggregate form. Rick Soudant, MISA and educational data analysis co-ordinator, and Heather Bovey, co-ordinator of special education, shared information on the teacher portal with the board of trustees. “The portal offers one stop shopping for teachers,” began Soudant. “It provides a place where teachers can access student information, review attendance data over time, access report card history, analyze assessments, and create and review student IEPs.” The portal, which was launched in September, is accessible in all schools to administrators, SERTs, teachers, and guidance counsellors. The portal was developed through feedback from teachers, who expressed the desire for an improved experience, with a more streamlined and intuitive interface. Class profiles, student profiles and attendance are some of the information that can be accessed. All CDSBEO SERTs have also been trained on how to access the portal, how to access IEPs, and how to create IEPs. “We really are trying to make things simple for teachers so they can work more efficiently and really understand the students’ needs,” noted Bovey. “Two years ago when we piloted the site, the teachers requested that the IEPs be integrated into the platform. “We have also developed a stepby-step guide for teachers, which has been posted on the CDSBEO intranet site along with a promotional video,” concluded Bovey. Safe Schools update The creation of intervention plans, including Prevent, Teach and Reinforce plans, as well as Violence, Threat, Risk Assessment plans, are key elements for supporting students with social, emotional, and behaviour needs. The Ministry of Education Safe School Policy requires boards to have safe school procedures and protocols in place to ensure that all Ontario schools are safe, accepting and inclusive. The CDSBEO has implemented
several specialized programs and supports to assist with prevention and targeted intervention for atrisk students. Pam Dunk and Shari King, both behaviour crisis consultants with the board, presented an update on the Safe Schools initiative. The CDSBEO employs several prevention programs for students, including WITS (Walk Away, Ignore, Talk it Out, Seek Help), Roots of Empathy, and the Zones of Regulation program, which teaches calming techniques, selfregulation, and sensory integration. In addition, the board also uses various targeted intervention strategies such as Individual Education Plans (IEPs), and student resiliency action plans, along with restorative justice to resolve any issues that may arise. “The ABLE programs are an alternative program that students attend for six days or more. The Turning Points program is intended for students that are connected to services due to mental health concerns of varying degrees,” noted King. “The majority of these students are not in the program as a result of actions of a violent nature. “Our VTRA Protocol (Violence Threat Risk Assessment) is a good resource for assisting with solving these thoughts of violence. Placements in the ABLE program helps students to build capacity and get back to their home schools. We always focus on the strategies we need to teach, and on the mindsets we need to adjust — to teach students the strategies they need to return to school.” Goal setting and strategies to keep students on track once they move back into their home school is a key component in creating a successful outcome for the student. “Some of the students in the ABLE program will come back once a week, once they have left ABLE, to help them maintain their mental health supports through the agencies that are involved with the program,” concluded Dunk. Audit committee summary report to board 2016-2017 The CDSBEO audit committee reports annually to the board of trustees. The committee consists of two board members and two external members that provide a report on the committee’s performance of its duties for the previous year. Superintendent of business, Bonnie Norton, presented the audit committee summary report to the board of trustees. The board’s audit committee duties and responsibilities is outlined in Ont. Reg. 361/10. Section 15 of the legislation requires the
audit committee to provide a summary report to the board annually on the committee’s performance of its duties for the previous year. “Since the regional internal audit function does not report to the Ministry of Education, the regulation also requires the summary report to be submitted to the Ministry of Education,” noted Norton. “This allows the ministry to monitor the required two audits per year per
board, and also ensures that there are no duplicate ministry audits.” During the 2016-2017 school year, the CDSBEO had audits for hiring and occasional teachers (in compliance with hiring regulation 274), and a second audit for IT security controls (access management and network security). “Both audit reports have been reviewed by the audit committee along with any recommendations and management’s

action plan,” noted Norton. During the 2017-2018 year, the regional internal audit team will conduct audits in the areas of: Health and safety and facility procurement (which is currently underway). A followup re-
view will be conducted on the special education audit completed two years ago. Final reports will be brought to the audit committee in the spring of 2018. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario

Y
es, this is space is being used once again in an effort to reduce the risk that you or someone close to you will become a victim of fraud or identity theft. These stories bear repeating, especially when significant amounts of money could be at stake. This sad tale of loss comes from the Georgian Bay area. Grey County OPP reported last week that two senior citizens in that area were taken for a total of about $25,000 in separate cases. One person got a telephone call from an unknown individual claiming that the woman's credit card had been compromised by a VISA employee. She was asked to assist with an internal investigation by sending money gram transfers. Unfortunately, the victim fell for the scam and sent multiple money grams and $13,000 in iTunes gift cards to India. The same scheme apparently netted another victim who sent money grams and
gift card transfers overseas, according to OPP. It's easy for many of us to say we would never fall for such an obvious scam, but the bottom line is that there are people out there who are convinced that the caller or emailer is legit and opts to send money or provide personal information before someone in the know is able to talk them out of it. Some of these scammers can sound very convincing, which is why it is so important for law enforcement as well as family and friends to share these stories and to emphasize the need to be vigilant. No matter who or what the caller claims to represent, do not go along with requests for personal information or payments that are being made by someone you do not know. If you're smart enough to detect such a scam, then please share your insight and help enlighten others so they don't end up being the subject of the next fraud-related release from the police.
Mystery relative Ethel unexpectedly cuts her intended lengthy visit short Ethel was just one of the many people who came to visit the farm in Northcote, and no one was ever sure how she was connected to the family. The first time she came, suitcase in hand, Father said he never saw her before in his life. And certainly Mother, who hadn’t been on the farm that long, didn’t know who she was either. However, she came bag and baggage one day in the early fall, claiming to be related on Father’s side of the family. She wasn’t about to give particulars, just saying, “we’re kin you know...and we go way back.” Ethel claimed to live in Pembroke. But Father said he was pretty sure he didn’t have any relatives there. However, none of that seemed to matter. Ethel was here, and she planned on staying. I was delighted. I loved com-

pany. The only problem was my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed, and sleep on the creton couch in the kitchen. It was too narrow to sleep side by side, so we had to sleep foot to foot, which didn’t please Audrey one bit. It was soon pretty obvious to everyone Ethel hadn’t spent much time on a farm before coming out to Northcote. It was a warm day for fall, and Mother had the kitchen window wide open, looking out onto the grape arbour. When we sat down for supper, Ethel wondered what that strong smell was. We all looked at Father. He took his merry time to reply, chewing what he had in his mouth first. “That’s plain manure. We spread it out on the fields. What did you say your name was again?”
“It’s Ethel, as you well know, Albert. And does that smell go away?” Father said, “Yes, when the snow comes.” Ethel just picked at her food, and more than once took her hanky out of her sleeve and covered her nose, pretending to wipe. And then there was the question of the Gerry pot under her bed. She had two choices, use it when the need arose during the night, or pick her way downstairs, out through the summer kitchen
and over to the outhouse. She told Mother she couldn’t imagine anyone not having a bathroom with a flush-toilet. Of course, she also commented on the old copy of Eaton’s catalogue that hung from a nail inside the outhouse. Mother told Ethel it took some getting used to when she moved from New York too, which didn’t help the situation one bit! Ethel was used to laying in bed in the morning, she told us when she climbed the stairs. Well, she was sure in for a surprise when Father could be heard in the kitchen starting the fire in the Findlay Oval the next morning. Mother said later, he did it on purpose. But he banged the stove lids, hit the poker against the wood box, and made so much noise you would have had to be stone deaf

to sleep through the racket. Ethel had no choice but to get out of bed with the rest of us. It wasn’t a good start to the day. Ethel smoked cigarettes, which I thought gave her a touch of elegance. And after breakfast was cleared away, she headed outside, “To take a look around,” she said. Well, you could hear the screams in Admaston. Mother rushed to the door, to see Ethel tearing across the yard heading for the back door, and the old gobbler hot after her. He was a mean one alright, and so he was seldom let out of the pen. He would chase anyone who came within a country mile of him, and he could run like the wind. Well, Ethel decided she had better get back to Pembroke, and

if Father would just drive her to the station, she’d be on her way. To me, he seemed only too delighted to oblige. When Father got back, Mother wondered how the old gobbler got out of the pen. Father blew smoke out of his pipe, pushed his straw hat to the back of his head, and said, “I knew that old bird would be useful some day. Even the turkey hens will have nothing to do with him. And he must have figured out how to open the pen gate all on his own.” And he threw back his head and laughed. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) believes greater awareness can help prevent consumers from becoming victims of fraud through identity theft. Typical identity theft cases include situations where government documents — such as drivers' licences, health cards, social insurance number (SIN) cards and birth certificates — have been unlawfully obtained or forged. Criminals can use your stolen identity documents to access your computer and email accounts; access your bank accounts, open new bank accounts, or transfer bank balances; apply for loans, credit cards and other goods and services; make purchases; hide their criminal activities; and illegally obtain passports or receive government benefits. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC), in 2016 there were 9,481 complaints of iden-
tity theft in Canada. Of those complaints, victims were identified and their combined financial losses exceeded $12-million. The consequences of having your identity compromised can have lasting effects on your life including potential employment, individual finances and credit ratings, and your dealings with government and other agencies. To better protect your identity, be wary of unsolicited emails, phone calls or mail asking for personal or financial information; be aware of creditors or collection agency calls about an application or account you do not have; and shred all personal and financial documents. If you or someone you know has been a victim of identity theft or identity fraud, contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). Submitted by the OPP

Find out the health of local lands, wildlife at Oct. 28 Land Knowledge Circles event What is the state of our fish and wildlife? Is our land productive? Are our natural resources sustainable? Find out more on Oct. 28 in Verona, north of Kingston. These are the essential questions that need to be asked in our communities. Only those who live on the land and with the land can provide answers. Increasingly, governments are less able to engage with landowners in meaningful ways, and resources are being managed at regional and provincial scales, often without sufficient local knowledge. The Land Knowledge Circles project has been launched by the Land Between, cottage country’s own conservation organization. This project calls on our farmers, hunters, anglers, foresters, beekeepers, gardeners, naturalists and hikers to participate in local citizens’ events. Indigenous talking circles, an ancient and effective platform for building community and consensus, are being used to share first-hand knowledge of conditions on the land. Proceedings from the circle meetings will be published to validate the voice of citizens and to provide a basis for resource management by groups, organizations and potentially governments too.
This is a great opportunity to break down barriers and stimulate us to take better care of our future.” The Land Between charity, in partnership with Curve Lake First Nation and Hastings Stewardship Council, invites stakeholders to the knowledge circles
being held in four areas. (Visit knowledgecircles.ca) The project is a pilot funded by the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration’s Partnership Grant Program. The Knowledge Circle event for Lennox & Addington, Frontenac and Lanark Region will be held on Saturday, Oct.
28 at the Verona Lions Club, 4504 Verona Sand Rd., north of Kingston from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is free and lunch is provided. To register or find out more, contact Leora Berman at 705-457-4838, info@thelandbetween.ca or register online at knowledgecircles.ca.

Many people point to Donald Trump’s seemingly pro-growth policies as the reason the market has continued to climb this year. But the rally has been going on for far longer, says Steve Rogers, Investment Strategist with Investors Group Investment Management. “The recovery from the 2008 global financial crisis has been steady,” he says. “Certainly, there have been ups and downs but when certain sectors were down others picked up the slack.”

As equities rise, that asset mix will start to shift – you could end up having 70% of your dollars in stock and 30% in bonds. Just look at how the S&P 500 has shifted since 2008. In 2008, the S&P 500’s energy sector made up 13.3% of the index. As of last December it accounted for 7.6%. Over that same period, the technology sector grew from 15% to 20%, and the consumer discretionary sector went from 8.4% to 12%. “With shifts like these, your portfolio definitely warrants a review,” says Rogers.

Reimagining an iconic model like the Honda Civic is never an easy feat, but the automaker has received plenty of praise for its latest generation, unveiled just last year. Three versions of the Civic are now available: a sedan, a coupe and an all-new hatchback. To demonstrate its market dominance, Honda has further expanded its lineup of compact vehicles by reviving its sportier Civic Si and introducing the spectacular 2018 Type R.
As for the Civic Type R, the latest version has opened its hood to a new turbocharged 2.0-L 4-cylinder engine generating 306 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. Needless to say, it’s revving up to be quite the performer!
ODYSSEY MINIVAN In anticipation of the unveiling of the 2018 Accord, Honda has given its Odyssey minivan an adrenaline boost, adding a bolder grille and more modern headlights to the family-friendly model. The dashboard now features a larger multimedia display system compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the 3.5-L V6 engine has been tweaked to deliver 280 horsepower. A standard 9-speed automatic transmission drives the Odyssey line, while the Touring premieres an all-new 10-speed gearbox. The frame and suspension have been made firmer without compromising on comfort, and Honda Civic Si sedan the direction has been fine-tuned for greater The new Civic Si comes equipped with a precision. turbocharged 1.5-L 4-cylinder, delivering the 2018 Honda same horsepower but with greater torque. The Odyssey only transmission available is a manual 6-speed. The turbocharged 1.5-L engine consumes less fuel than the 2.4-L, and its lighter build allows for improved handling and comfort. Buyers also have the option of enhancing their driving experience thanks to a sport mode button that electronically adjusts the steering wheel response rate for a dynamic feel.

Plan your fall foliage excursion Autumn means different things to many people. Students may embrace the dawn of a new school year, while others might embrace the crisp weather after a season of heat. One of the more widely enjoyed aspects of autumn is the chance to take in the brilliant foliage. Dazzling displays of foliage can be witnessed anywhere temperatures descend enough for deciduous trees to shed their leaves.

DON’T OVERLOOK OVERCAST DAYS Traveling in the rain may not be fun, but overcast days might be ideal. On such days, the sun won’t be too warm and drown out the colours.
BRING ALONG BINOCULARS Wildlife is often mobile and abundant in the fall, as animals scurry to feed and gather supplies before the winter. As a result, fall is a great time to spot wildlife that’s normally hiding in thickets and woodland areas. PLAN FOR STOPS ALONG THE WAY Don’t forget to bring some spending money in the form of cash so that you can enjoy the small farm stands and shops that often dot rural landscapes. Pick up farm-fresh produce or choose a plump pumpkin. Yard sales also are abundant this time of year. Trees begin shedding their leaves as early as the beginning of September in Canada. As the days press on, the fall finery will gradually shift southward. For those who can afford to take a weekday off, do so, as weekends might be overcome with fellow enthusiasts.

GMC distinguishes itself from Chevrolet For decades, GMC’s vehicles have featured a more lavish design than their Chevrolet counterparts — just look at the abundance of chrome accents that ornament the GMC Denali and the pristine finish of its interior, where woodwork, topstitching, soft grain leather and other fine details come together to create a decidedly luxurious SUV. Nevertheless, GMC and Chevrolet models have always shared the same frame and most of the same mechanical features… until now.
GMC Acadia
The GMC Acadia has distanced itself from the Chevrolet Traverse lately thanks to a more compact frame and improved handling. Smaller and lighter than the Traverse, the new Acadia is a full 318 kilograms lighter than its predecessor. This decrease in weight allowed manufacturers to incorporate a new 193-horsepower 2.5-L 4-cylinder engine under the hood. For even more power, the 3.6-L V6 version has been enhanced to deliver 310 horsepower and 271 lb.-ft. of torque. Depending on the interior configuration, the Acadia can seat five, six or seven people.

As for compact SUVs, the 2018 Terrain has been redesigned to fit GMC’s new look. This second generation is set to take over for the first, which sold 700,000 units in North America since 2009. The new Terrain debuts three new turbocharged engines: a 1.5-L 4-cylinder; a 2.0-L 4-cylinder; and a 1.6-L turbodiesel 4-cylinder, all of which are mated to a new 9-speed automatic transmission. In the commercial segment, the Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD have opened their hoods to a more powerful 6.6-L turbodiesel Duramax V8 generating 445 horsepower and 910 lb.-ft. of torque. This powerhouse can run on B20 biodiesel (20 per cent biodiesel combined with 80 per cent regular diesel). Furthermore, the Allison 1000 automatic transmission has been reinforced to accommodate the engine’s greater torque capacity.

Chevrolet invests in electricity and horsepower Chevrolet plans to offer several new models for 2018, including fully redesigned versions of the Equinox and Traverse. In addition, the automaker has announced a variety of limited edition models, namely the Corvette Carbon 65, Camaro ZL1 1LE, Tahoe RST and Suburban RST. These newcomers complete the lineup overhaul that Chevrolet kicked off earlier this year with the unveiling of the redesigned Sonic and Trax and launch of the all-new Bolt EV and hatchback Cruze.

In the pickup segment, the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD have both debuted a more powerful 6.6-L V8 Duramax turbodiesel engine that outputs 445 horsepower and 910 lb.-ft. of torque. As for the midsize Colorado ZR2 option, it comes equipped with a number of features designed for extreme off-road driving. With its electric motor and 60-kWh lithium-ion battery pack boasting a 383-kilometre range, the Bolt EV has quickly become a star player at Chevy. In sports-car news, the new 650-horsepower Camaro ZL1
1LE was designed for the racetrack, featuring a genuine carbon-fibre wing, an F1-inspired suspension and Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires. The 2018 Equinox has been offloaded by 180 kilograms to offer consumers a more dynamic driving experience. Three powertrain options are available: a 1.5-L turbocharged 4-cylinder; a 2.0-L turbocharged 4-cylinder; and an all-new 1.6-L turbocharged diesel 4-cylinder. The diesel engine (also available with the Cruze) is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission for optimal performance. As for the new Traverse, it sets itself apart from the likes of the GMC Acadia with a more spacious eight-seat interior and a hefty 2,268-kilogram towing capacity. Two engines are available: a 2.0-L turbocharged 4-cylinder and a 3.6-L V6. For their part, the Tahoe RST and Suburban RST are powered by a 6.2-L V8 and an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission.

Choosing a vehicle based on wheel drive
Proud to be your S U P E R S E R V I C E Chevrolet Buick & GMC Dealer
RESERVE YOUR WINTER TIRES NOW!
Several factors are considered before drivers purchase new vehicles. Wheel drive may not be the first such factor to come to mind, but it can be an important consideration when car shopping. Despite the considerable rise in popularity of sport utility vehicles, automotive expert Edmunds says most passenger cars sold in the United States today use a two-wheel-drive system. With options such as 4WD, AWD, FWD and RWD, consumers should understand the differences of each type of drive in order to make the most informed decision. REAR-WHEEL DRIVE With rear-wheel drive, the power goes to the back wheels to drive the vehicle. This used to be the system of choice because RWD systems were relatively easy to manufacture, offers Kelly Blue Book. RWD is the choice for many trucks because added load can offer additional traction in the back. Furthermore, rear-wheel drive is coveted for sporty vehicles and luxury cars. That’s because, as vehicles accelerate the weight is transfered to the rear wheel, enhancing traction and further acceleration. This drive also distributes weight more evenly, so cornering and handling is better. FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE The National Motorists Association states that front-wheel drive, which has become ubiquitous in cars produced today, is cheaper to design and build than RWD. Fewer parts mean the drivetrain is easier to install. It is also
We store your off-season tires
less heavy than others, helping vehicles to be lighter and consume less fuel. In rain and snow, FWD has excellent traction, so it’s an asset under poor weather conditions. Front-wheel drive vehicles are not prized for their handling because the front wheels have to put power to the ground and steer the car. Furthermore, unlike RWD, which is more rugged and durable, FWD is more fragile. 4-WHEEL-DRIVE & ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE 4WD is designed for rugged, off-road applications and AWD is for pavement driving. Pure 4WD is good for low-traction situations off of pavement, where additional grip is needed. In some 4WD vehicles, this drive needs to be engaged through a transfer switch. In such automobiles, the vehicle operates in FWD or RWD until that switch is engaged.

All-wheel-drive provides the best of FWD, RWD and pure 4WD systems. The main advantage is excellent traction on both dry pavement and in poor weather. Some AWD vehicles may be able to go off-roading as well. Potential disadvantages to AWD include cost, vehicle weight and, because there are more components in AWD, more parts can fail and require servicing. AWD typically comes in partand full-time versions.

Safety measures for winter drivers Winter weather causes many people to retreat indoors until the spring thaw. However, for those who embrace the cooler temperatures or find that life must go on despite snow and ice, taking inventory of their vehicles is a must before the first snowflakes start to fall. Tire care is an especially important area of vehicle maintenance. Regular tires may be ineffective for winter driving. Summer tires are made from materials that are optimized for warm conditions. When the mercury drops, these same materials can harden, reducing their ability to grip the road. That lack of traction can be compounded by the presence of snow or ice. Even all-season tires, which are designed to be driven year-round, can be insufficient in severe weather conditions. Winter tires can help drivers safely navigate SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR On hills, rely on low gears to maximize traction to winter roadways. travel up and down hills. This can minimize skids It’s important to look for tires that can disperse or sliding. water sufficiently and also grip the road. Snow tires are designed to remain softer and more GET THE VEHICLE A TUNEUP flexible to conform to the road better in cold In addition to tires, be sure the braking system, conditions. Some winter tires are even studded to battery and other major components of the vehicle are in good working order. provide better traction. Unfortunately, even the best winter tires cannot provide perfect traction on slippery roadways. That is why it is essential — in conjunction with the use of winter tires or snow chains — to modify driving techniques to navigate safely.
REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPERS Reduced visibility can compromise the safety of drivers and their passengers. Replace windshield wiper blades before winter arrives. Consider purchasing winter-rated windshield blades.
DRIVE SLOWLY Slow down on winter roads. Allow a greater distance for stopping than for dry conditions. Slippery conditions can make it more challenging to stop, and excessive speeds can make the situation worse.
KNOW HOW TO RECOVER FROM A SKID When skids occur on black ice or slush, drivers should take their feet off of the pedals and steer gently in the direction they want to go. As the vehicle regains traction, only then should the brakes or accelerator be applied.

How to improve the value of your trade-in
Why clean air filters are important Vehicle owners likely know to check fluid levels and get their cars’ oil changed, but air filters may not be at the top of their maintenance checklists. Despite being a relatively inexpensive part, air filters often go overlooked. PURPOSE OF VEHICLE AIR FILTERS Vehicle combustion engines operate with a mixture of fuel and air. Without oxygen, gasoline or diesel fuels cannot burn properly and power the engine. The air filter’s job is to prevent dirt, dust and other debris from being sucked into an engine. Otherwise, grime can build up and impede engine performance or cause erosion of parts under the hood.
When the time comes to purchase a new vehicle, many drivers explore trading in their existing cars or trucks. Trade-ins can reduce the cost of buying new vehicles and save drivers the hassle of selling their vehicles on their own.
ADDRESS ANY ISSUES Dealerships will offer to tend to any repairs trade-ins may need, but that will come at a cost, which will be reflected in the trade-in value of the car. Vehicle owners should address any issues before taking their vehicles to the dealership. Fix any doors that stick or minor scratches on the vehicle’s exterior, remembering to have the car detailed, washed and waxed. Investigate if any major problems, such as engine troubles, are worth fixing on your own, or if you’re better off receiving less for your trade-in and letting the dealership address such issues. KEEP MAINTENANCE RECORDS Maintenance records illustrating that the vehicle was taken care of can help owners get more for their tradeins. Drivers who intend to trade the vehicle in to the same dealership where the vehicle was purchased should still keep their own maintenance records to eliminate potential problems as they negotiate the trade-in value of their vehicles. SHOP AROUND Drivers who are not satisfied with the trade-in value assigned by a specific dealership can shop around until they find better offers. Some dealerships may not offer much for a vehicle because they already have a similar car or truck sitting on their lot, while others may jump at the chance to make their preowned inventory more diverse. Exercise patience when shopping around to reduce any frustration that might develop during the negotiation process. Various factors impact the trade-in value of cars and trucks. When purchasing new cars, vehicle owners can employ various strategies to get the most money for their current automobiles.

Motorists who think trading in is the best way to unload their current cars can take various steps to improve the trade-in value prior to visiting the dealership. KNOW THE TRADE-IN MARKET Some trade-ins may be more valuable than others, even if the cars are relatively similar with regard to mileage. For example, preowned vehicle buyers typically prefer late model vehicles as opposed to cars that are older. This is even more apparent now that many car buyers want smartphone-friendly vehicles that afford them access to the apps and GPS systems on their phones. Drivers who want to get maximum value for their trade-ins may benefit by trading in a year or so earlier than they initially planned, as this will make their cars or trucks more attractive to prospective buyers, which should make it easier for dealerships to sell the vehicle.
It is much more cost-effective to routinely change air filters than replace expensive engine parts. Rather than ignoring air filters until the last minute, drivers can take steps to keep filters clean and functioning at peak performance.

Help senior drivers maintain their independence As men and women age, various factors Regular exercise and a healthy drivers. Mental fitness techniques reaction time, while aerobic and keep the body in shape. may affect their ability to drive. In diet can be assets for mature and brain exercises can improve strength-training workouts can addition to issues with memory, seniors may have failing eyesight and physical limitations, and their reaction time may slow down. In such instances, seniors’ ability to safely operate a motor vehicle may be questioned. Age alone is not a reliable measure of driving ability, but many of the issues that affect one’s ability to safely drive a ve h i c l e tend to appear as men and women near their golden years. Losing the ability to safely operate an automobile can greatly reduce a person’s independence. That is why periodic driver evaluations may be met with some reluctance. Aging men and women who don’t want to avoid potential conflicts with concerned family members can take their own steps to ensure they maintain their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. SCHEDULE A DRIVING SAFETY EVALUATION When drivers’ abilities to operate a motor vehicle become suspect, a thorough evaluation should be scheduled. The evaluation should not be handled by a family physician or family member, but by an unbiased third party like a Certified Driving Rehabilitation Specialist. This is a therapist who has special certification to assist people with disabilities, including older adults, with driving. They can help individuals with adaptive equipment or techniques if driving issues stem from something that can be addressed. FIGURE OUT IF THE CAR “FITS” THE INDIVIDUAL A program called CarFit can help drivers assess if their car is suited to their abilities. A team of trained technicians and/or health professionals work with participants to ensure their vehicles are equipped for maximum safety and comfort. A properly adjusted vehicle is as important as one’s cognitive and physical abilities. Adjustments can include mirror placement, good foot positioning and sitting at the proper distance from the steering wheel. TAKE A DRIVER IMPROVEMENT COURSE Driver improvement courses are provided by various organizations, including some insurance companies. AARP also has a Driver Safety Course to lower the risk of traffic violations, collisions and injuries. Completion of these courses can help drivers enhance their abilities behind the wheel and may result in lower premiums for mature drivers. KEEP THE MIND AND BODY FIT

Who Dunit? opens Friday the 13th at Station Theatre in Smiths Falls If you’re looking for a scare Friday the 13th, head to The Station Theatre in Smiths Falls for the opening night of Who Dunit? Katharine Coleman, veteran director of half a dozen plays, is excited about this comedy-mystery. What better night to open than Friday the 13th, she asks. Her cast – some veterans, some newbies – has worked hard to give personalities to the characters, including three angels, an arrogant author, his cook, butler, secretary, nephew and fiancée, plus George and Flo. “It’s going to be a light-hearted evening,” Coleman assures. “Lots of fun. We all need some sun in our lives.”
Alexander Arlington, famous mystery-murder writer, finds there’s no ove lost between him and his family in Who Dunit? which opens Friday, Oct. 13 at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. Photo courtesy Lise Pajot-Nelson

dered and reaches Heaven to stand in front of Archangel Michael (Stef Robar), he wants to know who killed him. He’s sure everyone on earth, in his mortal life, loved him…so who did the dastardly deed? The angel Michael doesn’t have the answer leaving only one way to find out – go back to earth and relive the past 24 hours of his life in order to solve the murder before it’s committed. Being murdered once is startling enough; letting it happen a second time is unthinkable. This time, however, the writer must outwit both the murderer and the high ranking angel…or else it’s back to Heaven for him.

Exploring the power of song in our own backyard One needs only to hear the strength and compassion expressed in her beautiful rendition of her self-penned song, Nowhere to Go But Up, to feel the "power of song" and know there is a real story behind country chanteuse Arlene Quinn's conviction. Born and raised in Lanark County, this sweet singer/songwriter has, since an early age, offered up such quality musicianship as to open for many Grand Ole Opry stars, written and recorded in Nashville, won copious awards since her youth and amassed a huge following.

After a three-year hiatus, defining and developing strategies to overcome fibromyalgia, she's back in the game, writing tender, top singles being played in more than 12 countries around the world. She writes with heartfelt passion, often via personal experiences culled from her many opportunities to witness the "power of song" to the multitude of seniors she regularly entertains throughout the region, as well as fundraisers and, to capacity- filled concerts, usually reminiscing with her renditions of the country classics.

This is a makeup concert, as Arlene broke her wrist just prior to her planned March 26 concert in the winter so we're delighted she's healed and ready to go. Anyone who had previ-
ously purchased tickets for the March show, please call Sue on 613-267-7902. It’s then a rare opportunity to hear Arlene's own inspiring catalogue of self-penned tunes, along with her welcoming smile, making it an honour to have her perform in our Listening Room Series lineup on Sunday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). Part of the proceeds will go to Perth Community Care Centre — Resident's Council Fund. Tickets are $20 and available either by calling 613-267-7902 to arrange necessary, in advance payment

Muriel, the mouthy angel, played by Heddy Sorour, and Isabelle, a much more cautious angel, played by Lise Nelson natter at Michael unceasingly to do his job; Annie, maid and cook (Ann MacLaughlan), Harry, butler and gardner (Tim Bisaillon) and Miss Jenkins, secretary (Katharine Coleman) all have good reasons to do the writer in. Andrew, the writer’s nephew, played by Noel White, and Vivian, the writer’s fiancee, played by Nicki Hayes have their own reasons to get rid of the writer. And finally George, Vivian’s boyfriend (Nathan Matthews) would
have a much easier life without the writer there. Then there’s Flo, a gangster’s moll (Mandi Reed) who just wants to get her job done. Who did it? Come and find out. Who Dunit? runs Friday, Oct. 13 and Saturday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m., as well as Sunday, Oct. 15 at 2 p.m. It continues the next week Oct. 19, 20 and 21 in the evenings at 7:30 p.m. and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 22. But wait! That’s not all. Next in the movie night series is Megan Leavey, based on a true-life story of a young Marine Corporal whose unique discipline and bond with her military combat dog saved many lives during their deployment in Iraq. Over the course of
their service, Megan and Rex complete more than 100 missions until an improvised explosive device injures both, putting their fates in jeopardy.

Last month my son Craig and I visited Northern Ireland as part of a memorable “Father-Son” excursion to Ireland and England. An important stop for us was Belfast, capital of what remains a province of the United Kingdom. This was Craig’s first visit to Ireland and with family connections in both the north and south, part of the reason we went was to celebrate our heritage by visiting the birthplaces of Craig’s two greatgrandfathers. My wife Kathleen’s paternal grandfather, Joseph Charles Lee, was a native of Dublin. My maternal grandfather, Archibald Robert Watson, was born in Belfast in 1905. During our stay in the Northern Ireland capital we made a pilgrimage to Belfast City Cemetery where members of the Watson family are interred. It was my second visit to the gravesite. As a family we are planning improvements to the burial place which we only discovered in recent years, thanks to genealogical research done by my sister Linda Parisien from Stittsville. The grave marker refers only to the first of four Watson family members who were buried in the plot. The fast fading metal marker reads, “The Burying Place of Jane Watson 1899.” We plan to add a plaque with all four names. Jane Orr Watson, the daughter of my great- great-grandmother who was also named Jane Watson, died of “consumption” (Tuberculosis or TB) at age 23 in 1899. Jane Orr was followed by her sister Clara (Archibald’s mother and my great-grandmother) in 1906 and her brother Frederick in 1909. Clara was 25 and Frederick was 31. They too died of TB which killed a billion people worldwide in two centuries. My great-great-grandmother outlived all her children. She died in 1922 at the ripe old age of 84. Sadly she did not have the capacity to care for her grandson, although she did her best to follow his progress. Archibald’s father left Ireland about the time of his birth. No further record of him has been found. In the final months of her short life Clara was too ill to care for her infant son. Archibald, who we all knew by his nickname “Art”, was taken into care by the British-based Barnardo Agency in the spring of 1906 at age six months. Barnardo’s, a UK charity founded in 1866 by the well-meaning Thomas John Barnardo, was established to care for vulnerable children and young people many of whom were orphans. Dublinborn philanthropist Barnardo died in September 1905 at age 60, just six days before my grandfather

was born. Because he was an infant Art was moved to a Barnardo orphanage called “Babies’ Castle” in England. It was located at Hawkhurst, Kent southeast of Royal Tunbridge Wells. At age seven he was relocated to another agency residence in Stepney, East London. He was then briefly placed with foster parents at Wetherden, Suffolk. In March 1914, at the tender age of eight, he was sent to Canada. Difficult childhood Through research we now know more about my grandfather’s story. Not surprisingly he rarely talked about his experiences. Still, as a family we realize we owe Barnardo’s a debt of gratitude. Without their intervention it is possible my grandfather might not have survived childhood. Belfast in the early 20th Century was an extremely depressed place and disease was rampant. However the truth remains that the arrangements the organization made for him and so many of its young charges, so-called “Home Children”, were not only unsatisfactory they were terrible. Tens of thousands were dispatched to lives of hardship in Canada and other Commonwealth nations. The majority were placed in circumstances in which they were little more than indentured slaves. Art Watson was one of those people. More on his story later! On Sept. 30 Kathleen read a newspaper article about the unveiling of a memorial in Toronto the following day. The new monument recognizes 75 Home Children who were buried in two mass graves in Park Lawn Cemetery. The graves were unmarked for years. But due to the fundraising efforts of Lori Oschefski, CEO of the Barrie, Ontario based British Home Children Advocacy and Research Association there is now a proper memorial. Using archival records, death certificates and cemetery plot cards Oschefski was able to identify all the children involved. Their names are inscribed on the monument. Oschefski’s mother and aunt were both British Home Children. She says her mother was among the lucky ones. She was generally well treated. Many others were forced to live in deplorable conditions. Some were physically and sexually

abused. Oschefski says her aunt was whipped, beaten, raped and moved 20 times in less than eight years. At least one of the children buried in the mass graves in Toronto was almost certainly murdered. The stories of mistreatment related by so many Home Children or their descendants are horrific. Sadly few Canadians know about the plight of the 115,000 British Home Children who immigrated to this country between the late 1860s and 1948. Some four million Canadians are descendants of British Home Children. My grandfather’s story is one of personal triumph. But the beginning of his life in Canada was very difficult. We have limited details but there’s no question he was mistreated during his time as a child labourer on a farm in southwestern Ontario. The owner even tried to get out of paying him the pittance he was owed. Fortunately a Barnardo representative intervened and made sure young Art was paid. He went on to marry Beatrice (nee Hardy) a native of London, England. My grandparents had three children, the eldest of whom was my late mother Molly. Art served with distinction on a Canadian Navy minesweeper during the Second World War. He founded a service station maintenance company in Chatham, Ontario, the hometown of both my mother and my wife. His eldest son Wayne became a family physician and later a well-respected psychiatrist in Toronto. Sadly Grandpa Watson died of stomach cancer in 1965 at age 59. My uncle Gregory (we refer to him by his middle name “Jan”) subsequently ran the family business for many years. As a newspaper writer I’ve met many surviving Home Children and their family members over the years. Their often sad stories are not nearly as well-known as they should be. But now, thanks mainly to the efforts of one dedicated woman, the lives and tragic deaths of 75 previously forgotten Home Children will forever be remembered!

Topic of electric car efficiency once again up for discussion “Hello Brian, I just bought a 2017 Honda Accord. I was wondering if you recommend getting the car Krown rust-proofed? Also last year I rust proofed my 2008 Honda Accord. Should it be done again? Thank you. I enjoy reading your articles.” L.H. If you plan on keeping your new Honda for anything more than five or six years, yes Krown rustproofing is a good idea. And yes that process should be repeated annually on any vehicle to maintain the protection and the warranty. “Hi Brian, Great to see you’re getting questions on EVs (electric vehicles)! I’m not sure the author of the question would be interested, but maybe fellow technicians would. I understand that the air conditioning system in an EV is powered by an elec-

trical compressor off of the high voltage drive battery. I’ve heard this can lead to potentially dangerous situations if incorrect compressor oils are used since there is more voltage required to push its way through an oil that is more conductive. I have found that the AC in my EV car is really efficient – all of my range records are set with the AC enabled. Heat, though, that impacts my range. You’re correct about dressing for it to reduce the load on cabin heating. Owners can also ‘pre-condition’ their EVs while they’re still plugged in, to warm everything before heading out and help minimize the range loss. Finally, the heat and AC are also used to keep the drive batteries happy in many EVs, which a driver has no control over; again the range reduction can be lowered by preconditioning while still plugged.
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
I’m still loving your column. By the way – I just bought an electric motorcycle (a zero motorcycle brand). It’s loads of fun with no heat or AC to affect my range. Jeff Goodman Jeff is an electric vehicle enthusiast/crusader and has helped organize the EV displays and information center at the annual North Grenville Sustainability Fair held in Kemptville. I’ve met him several times at this event and he always seems to know how to collect a great bunch of EV owners who love to talk about their rides and experiences with them. Jeff’s note here was in re-
sponse to a recent reader who wrote in asking about how the use of the HVAC system in an EV would affect its range. As we enter one of the best seasons for a recreational drive, one quick note to help improve road safety. Few drivers ever think of fallen leaves as a driving risk, but trying to stop suddenly or make a sharp turn while your vehicle’s tires are riding on wet fallen leaves is much akin to doing the same things on
ice or packed snow. The loss of control in these situations often leads to fender benders at the least and can involve much more serious results. When driving this fall (especially in wet weather), keep an eye out for leaves packed down on the road surface and use the opportunity to practice your best winter defensive driving skills. 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.

Latest Lego movie has plenty of heartfelt silliness MOVIE: Lego Ninjago STARRING: Jackie Chan, Dave Franco, Fred Armisen, Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Pena, Abbi Jacobson, Zach Woods, Olivia Munn and Justin Theroux DIRECTORS: Charlie Bean, Paul Fisher and Bob Logan RATING: G I love these Lego movies. Any movie I can take my kids to, and enjoy it just as much as they do is great in my book. The land of Ninjago is a land of mysticism and technological wonders. Yet the city is under constant threat of attack by the evil Lord Garmadon (Justin Theroux). Every day Garmadon and his army strike out at Ninjago from his volcanic island base. And each day the five mysterious ninja in their fierce robotic mechs stop him. High school students by day and ninjas whenever Garmadon attacks. Kai (Michael Pena) is the Fire Ninja, and his sister Nya (Abbi Jacobson) is the Water Ninja. Cole (Fred Armisen) is the Rock Ninja, Zane (Zach Woods) is the Ice Ninja, and Jay (Kumail Nanjiani) is the Lightning Ninja. They're led by Lloyd (Dave Franco) the Green Ninja, and taught by Master
My Take
MARK HASKINS
Wu (Jackie Chan). Life as a secret ninja isn't easy, but for Lloyd it's even harder. As the Green Ninja, Lloyd is loved by all, but as son of the evil Garmadon, he's hated. Then one day Garmadon comes at them with a giant mechanized suit of shark-themed destruction. Lloyd, desperate to stop his father, unleashes the ultimate weapon Meowthra, but he can't control it. Garmadon seizes control, and watches as Meowthra destroys the city. To save Ninjago, Lloyd and the ninja must undertake a perilous journey for the ultimate weapon. They'll be tested like never before, and Lloyd will have to face his relationship with his father. Ninjago is an action-packed film filled with some amazing Lego martial arts excitement. It also has a lot of tonguein-cheek humour. One of the things I enjoy is how much they push the humour — from out-
right silliness and making fun of themselves, to classic slapstick and some pretty clever one-liners. It's the kind of film that gets everyone in the theatre laughing. The real charm of the film though is its ability to pivot. It gracefully goes from the outrageousness of absentee father and evil warlord Garmadon to plucking at the heartstrings as Lloyd and his father reconnect. Our cast is not the original voice actors of the TV show, but they're pretty good. It's hard to be upset when Jackie Chan is cast to voice the ninja master and teacher Master Wu. Then we have Fred Armisen, Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Pena, Abbi Jacobson, Zach Woods and Olivia Munn. Again, it's hard to be upset with this kind of talent. The focus of the story is on Lloyd and Garmadon, and Dave Franco and Justin Theroux are great. They go way over the top to be funny but are still able to have that touching father-son moment. Ninjago is full of silly goodness, but it also has some real heart. That's the beauty of these Lego movies. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

'Hamlette,' 'Virtual Reality' headline 'An Evening of One Act Plays' at Studio Theatre It's that time of year again, when plays travel in twos at the Studio Theatre in Perth, for An Evening of One Act Plays. This year's edition brings you two comedies for the price of one — actually less than the price of one, but more about that later ... The first one-act play of the evening is Hamlette, a parody of Shakespeare's masterpiece, written, with tongue firmly in cheek, by Alison Williams. Something is funny in the state of Denmark! Hamlet is not a man at all, but a woman. And although the story is (roughly) the same — ghosts, castles and strange marriages — it's all very much played for laughs. Sort of a cheese Danish with sugar on top. Annie West stars as Hamlette, along with Studio Theatre veterans Lucas Tennant, Janet Rice, Annette Cole (Huton), and Barb Guthrie. Behind the scenes, Yogi Sepp mans the lighting board, while Roberta Peets directs traffic as stage manager. The set is designed and built by Reiner Silberhorn, with set dressing and propping by Penny Silberhorn. Costume designer Patricia Parry creates the period attire for the stars to shine in, and Laurie Reesor makes the whole zany affair come together as director. The second short play of the evening is Virtual Real-
ity, written by the legendary actor/playwright Alan Arkin. In this quirky one-act gem, two shady characters wait for equipment to arrive for an unspecified job, and the one in charge insists on doing an inventory of the crates. What follows is pure theatrical magic, calling forth virtual objects and bones of contention. As the characters are transported to a frozen wilderness they grow close, they grow apart, Photo courtesy Bruce Raby they become mortal eneVirtual Reality comes to life with Lucas Tennant and Joanna mies. Imagine the testy, silly one-upmanship of Abbott McAuley Treffers, the second play of An Evening of One Act and Costello crossed with Plays opening at the Studio Theatre Oct. 26 for four shows. the menacing ambiguity of Harold Pinter (screenwriter of Sleuth) and you'll get the idea. Jane Stott directs this deeply funny, finely honed tribute to the conjuring powers of theatre, starring award winning actors Lucas Tennant and Joanna McAuley Treffers. As in years past, An Evening of One Act Plays is a tantalizing preview of the Eastern Ontario Drama League's One-Act Play Festival, this year hosted by Rural Root Theatre in Constance Bay Nov. 3 and HOSTED BY SUPPORTING 4. Hamlette will be the StuBIG BROTHERS dio Theatre's entry in the BIG SISTERS OF LANARK COUNTY 2017 edition, where our theatre has a storied history of success: last year alone CAMP at the festival (held here in VETERANS FUND MERRYWOOD Perth) the Studio Theatre's production of The Real Inspector Hound won festival awards for best director, FOOD BANK best acting, best produc-
tion, and the People's Choice award for favourite play. This year's entry will no doubt continue that winning tradition. An Evening of One Act Plays premières at the Studio Theatre in Perth for four shows only, Oct. 26, 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. And this year you can experience both of these bite-size one act comedies, Hamlette and Virtual Reality, for just $15!

Model Parliament program accepting applications until Oct. 30 If you’re a high school student interested in politics or want an inside look at how legislation is passed at Queen’s Park, LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark is encouraging you to apply for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s Model Parliament program. Applications for the three-day program that’s open to Ontario students in grades 10 to 12 are being accepted until Oct. 30. Students selected to participate will be at Queen’s Park from Feb. 21-23, 2018. “It’s important to give young people an opportunity to get engaged in the political process, to see the impact it has on their dayto-day lives and develop a better understanding of how the system works,” said Clark. “The Model
Parliament program is a great way to gain that insight and I know students who have represented LeedsGrenville in previous years really valued the experience.” During the program, students have an opportunity to meet the key officials in the legislature, tour the building, learn about its history and study the province’s legislative process. The highlight of the three days is when students take their seats in the Legislative Assembly Chamber to participate in a debate as the "MPP" for their home riding. Anyone interested in learning more about the program or applying can do so by visiting: http:// discoveryportal.ontla.on.ca/en/ youth-programs/model-parliament.

County police boards consider supporting dementia tracking system BY DESMOND DEVOY
times when it is needed. The program is also intended for “people who are still at home,” said Noble. There are currently 3,900 people at in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville who have Alzheimer's or dementia, of which 1,700 live in Lanark County. Bean Chevrolet Of that 1,700, about 70 per cent still Buick GMC Ltd. 375613-257-2432 McNeely Ave, Carleton Place live at home. “Often, when people are found, it is within a very short distance of their « Jef Jeff Julian home,” said Noble. She added that her Insurance Agent society is constantly telling caregivers not to wait if they see that their loved Ask Me About one with dementia has wandered off. Life Insurance “When someone goes missing, call Jeff Julian Jef (the police),” she said. Agent

A proposed dementia tracking system for Lanark County could cost as much as $16,000. Louise Noble, the executive director of the Alzheimer Society of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, informed the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards (PSB) that such a system, to track dementia patients, or children with autism, would cost about $16,000 for an initial setup. The program “quickly detects missing people,” said Tay Valley Township’s Neil Fennell, the association chair, in introducing Noble, because “prompt discovery,” means a greater likelihood of survival for the missing person. Allowing too much time to go by, however, means a “greater … likelihood that the outcome will be tragic,” said Fennell. “Is there a way to make that (program) possible here?” he asked, during the association’s quarterly meeting at the Lanark and District Civitan Club in Lanark Highlands Township on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Noble said that “Project Lifesaver” is being used successfully in places like greater Belleville, where the patient wears a device that looks like an oversized watch. If the person wanders off, technology can track the person’s whereabouts. There is a $400 cost to the family “right off the top,” said Noble, with $350 for the purchase of the tracker, plus a $50 administration fee. Every two months, the batteries need to be changed in the device, at a cost of $20

The device has a special battery, so, “You can’t go down to Walmart to pick up a battery,” said Noble. “We may have to look at fundraising,” said Noble, in order to set the system up, since the OPP, local PSBs, and her society, did not have the funds to set up the program on their own. “It would have to be fundraised. It is not something that we as an Alzheimer Society can fund.” However, she added later that “we would be happy to manage the program,” especially since “caregivers will come to us
for the bracelets.” Noble suggested that, for example, a local company could sponsor the program, and their company logo could go on the side of the equipment. After the initial setup, “we can order as many bracelets as we want. If we wanted to order 100, we could,” she said. The program would see an outside agency, likely the Alzheimer Society for example, facilitate the purchase of the equipment, which would then be given to the Lanark County OPP detachment, for them to administer at
Back to the boards Brian Campbell, the Deputy Reeve of Tay Valley Township, said that “I think it is a good idea.” Bill Dobson, the Reeve of Montague Township and the Lanark County Warden, wondered if, possibly, instead of the OPP, local search and rescue crews could administer the program instead. “Maybe we should explore this more with search and rescue?” asked Dobson. However, Noble noted that “if a child goes missing, you phone the police.” Similarly, for a missing dementia patient, “the (caregiver) is going to phone the police, they are not going to call search and rescue.” Insp. Derek Needham, the detachment commander for Lanark County OPP, is aware of the project, but was

Penny’s Fudge Factory moving to Pakenham from Fitzroy Harbour BY JAKE DAVIES
jake.davies@metroland.com
While the business started in Fitzroy Harbour, owners Vic and Carole Bodé are from Pakenham and they are bringing Penny’s Fudge Factory home. The owners recently made the tough decision to take their business closer to home. Penny’s Fudge Factory opened in Fitzroy Harbour in 1989 and was then owned by Syd and Judy Gravel. The Gravels retired in October of 2014 and the Bodés purchased the business from them. The Pakenham residents also own Scoop’s Ice Cream and Carnivic Lodge, a bed and breakfast in Pakenham.
Carole says it's time to move the business closer to home. “The main thing is we own a building in Pakenham and would no longer need to rent,” she told the West Carleton Review during a Sept. 28 interview in Fitzroy Harbour. “There’s a lot going on in Pakenham. We’re certainly very appreciative of the support we’ve got from the Fitzroy Harbour community, dropping by in the summer or getting off the bus after school for a treat. Fitzroy Harbour is one of those places where you know where all the kids are by the location of the bike pile.” The Bodés will close their doors for the season, as they usually do, around the Thanksgiving weekend.
When the Fudge Factory reopens its doors in spring, it will be located in Pakenham with “a gorgeous view of the river.” Along with owning their business, Carole is hopeful the business will grow. She said they close around Thanksgiving each year, because that seems to be when traffic slows at the Fudge Factory. Carole is hopeful, the business will attract customers closer to Christmas. One thing that won’t be moving to Pakenham is the Fudge Factory’s ice cream business. Carole says there’s no need, with Scoop’s just around the corner, but she does fear she will miss that aspect of the business.
“I won’t be doing ice cream anymore, which is too bad, because I’ve built up a really nice bicep with all that scooping,” she said. “When I first started working here, I put on a pile of weight. I finally had to put the clamp down on ‘quality assurance’ and join a gym.”
The Bodés put up a large sign by their Fitzroy Harbour store informing the community of the impending closure. Carole says the sign has had an added advantage for the community. “That sign has been the greatest traffic calming device
I’ve seen in Fitzroy Harbour,” she said. “People slow right down to read it.” Carole says she has nothing but fond memories of her time in Fitzroy Harbour and wants to thank the community for its support of Penny’s Fudge Factory.

Carleton Place’s Mark Cook receives inaugural Outstanding Service Award BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The Outstanding Service Award was one of two new honours handed out during the 2017 Carleton Place Senior of the Year banquet, held on Sept. 28 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. Each year, the senior of the year committee learns of an individual who has made volunteering with an organization his or her life’s work. As a result, the committee decided to acknowledge this person for his or her dedication, commitment and loyalty. On Sept. 28, the inaugural Outstanding Service Award was presented to Mary Cook for her 62 years with the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) Captain Hooper chapter.
The IODE is a national women’s charitable organization. Women of all ages, from all walks of life and educational backgrounds, meet in local chapters for fun friendship and community volunteerism. If Cook’s name sounds familiar it should. In addition to her work with the IODE, the celebrated storyteller spent many years on CBC radio, wrote several bestselling books, earned more than a few ACTRA awards for broadcast journalism, and her weekly articles in the Metroland Media newspapers continue to resonate with readers. Cook is lovingly referred to as the “Queen of Carleton Place.” Unfortunately, Cook was not in attendance at this year’s Senior of the Year banquet, owing to previous engagement. Accepting on her behalf was Captain Hooper

chapter president Dianne Saunders. On Oct. 5, during a meeting of the IODE Captain Hooper chapter, Cook received her Outstanding Service Award. “I just think this is wonderful,” Cook said. “Longevity counts for something.” “Thank you very much,” she continued. “This is a great honour for me, and it does not seem like 62 years.” Cook’s first IODE meeting with the Captain Hooper chapter was held at the former Mississippi Hotel. “You make lasting friends through the
IODE,” Cook said. “It is a great fellowship.” Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place hosts the Senior of the Year banquet, which began in 2011, in partnership with the municipality. The Award of Distinction, the other first award presented at the banquet, is given to an individual who has been nominated for the Senior of the Year more than once. The 2017 recipient: Flora Neave. This year’s Senior of the Year is Jan Hopkins. She was recognized for her varied and significant contributions to the community.

Carleton Place’s Senior of the Year Award was created to recognize the varied and significant contributions of seniors to the community. The award was established in 2011 by Waterside Retirement Community (WRC) in partnership with the municipality. In May, the community at large was asked to nominate seniors they knew had given to the town in at least one of the following areas: arts/literature; community service/volunteerism; education; environment/science; fitness/ recreation/sport; humanitarian activities; and keeping history alive. Jan Hopkins was named 2017’s top senior during the sixth annual Senior of the Year banquet, which was held on Sept. 28 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. She was nominated alongside Diane Nel, Flora Neave and Paula Sanderson. “Our sixth annual event — pretty amazing!” WRC’s community director Denise Tessier exclaimed. “It never ceases to amaze me ... the wonderful nominees and the stories behind them, as well as the contributions all of you in this room make to our community in one form or another,” she continued. Tessier acknowledged WRC’s community relations manager Patty Guimond — the event’s organizer — “for her vision, and for her incredibly insane skill. “Patty comes up with an idea, the box pops open and voilà,” she said. “Patty makes it looks effortless, and she does it with absolute passion.” “We are not only celebrating the accomplishments of our nominees tonight, but we are celebrating National Seniors Day, which occurs on Oct. 1 each year,” Guimond said. Thursday’s festivities also included appetizers, cash bar, three-course dinner, photos, musical entertainment, silent auction and keynote speaker. Rev. Brian Kauk of St. James Anglican Church blessed the food. The evening’s silent auction was in support of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation, with 100 per cent of the proceeds used to purchase patient equipment. Robyn Arseneau, the foundation’s manager of fundraising, noted the biggest item on this year’s “wish list” is a cardiac monitor with telemetry system, which is valued at approximately $305,000. The system provides continuous monitoring of heart activity by assessing a patient’s condition relative to his or her cardiac rhythm.
About the nominees Hopkins has been actively involved with the Mississippi Mudds for the last 25 years, and she has been with Zion Memorial United Church for a quarter century, holding a variety of positions. For 15 years, Hopkins has been involved with the Canadian Cancer Society — wearing many hats, and she is a former member of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Board. Neave has volunteered with the local hospital’s auxiliary for 19 years, holding a number of key positions. For more than 30 years she has been a member of St. James Anglican Church’s congregation, always willing to help out where she is needed, whether it be organizing concerts and garage sales or modelling in fundraising fashion shows.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Speaker had emotional message I was so pleased to attend Carleton Place’s Senior of the Year banquet this year, which took place on Sept. 28 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. It was the sixth year for the event, which was established in 2011 by Waterside Retirement Community in partnership with the municipality. The Senior of the Year Award was created to recognize the varied and significant contributions of seniors to the community. Jan Hopkins was named the 2017 Senior of the Year. She was nominated alongside Diane Nel, Flora Neave and Paula Sanderson. The other festivities on Sept. 28: three-course dinner, keepsake photo, musical entertainment, silent auction and guest speaker. Definitely a highlight for me was the guest speaker -- 2016 Senior of the Year Yvonne Kilpatrick. “Trying to talk about volunteering, one of the major parts of my life in 10 or 15 minutes would be impossible,” she said. Instead, Kilpatrick told the crowd about some of her most memorable times. In 1965, Kilpatrick was teaching in England at a boys-only school. She had 44 six-year-old boys in her class. “Attendance was always low on Mondays because it was wash day and most children only had one set of clothing,” she stated. As a result, Kilpatrick asked her mother to start collecting boys clothing, and it developed into quite a task. “I was able to send clothing home for my students and their siblings,” she said. In 1974, Kilpatrick, her husband and two children moved to Quebec. “George was president of the local Lions club, and the ladies would put on bake sales, cooking events and other fundraisers,” she said. “It was a lot of fun.” In 1982, Kilpatrick joined the local hospital auxiliary, delivering Meals on Wheels. The auxiliary spearheaded the program, and the meals were cooked in the hospital’s
TARA GESNER Tara Firma kitchen. “I always wanted to spend more time with each person,” said. “Sadly, many recipients only see the Meals on Wheels person each day.” In 1995, Kilpatrick’s mother-inlaw’s cancer returned. “It became terminal,” she explained. “So we changed our dining room into a space for her and moved her in with us. “She passed away peacefully in our home, in our care, and we would not have had it any other way,” Kilpatrick noted, and “it was for this reason that I wanted to become involved with volunteer hospice.” In 2002, Volunteer Hospice Visiting Service through Community Home Support – Lanark County was set up, and the first course for volunteers was given. “I met amazing people, learning so much about compassion, empathy, love and how important being with someone can be when nothing is being said,” Kilpatrick recounted. Getting emotional, she told the crowd: “One of my clients was near death and asked me to make her as beautiful as possible for her husband. A neighbour and I washed her hair and blow-dried and styled it, and we did her make up and put her in a lovely nightgown. I met her husband at the door and told him I had to leave. He said goodbye and went into the room where his wife was. I heard him say ‘Oh darling, you look beautiful.’ I left. She passed away that evening.” These things have brought hospice to Kilpatrick’s heart. “This is why I am so passionate about it,” she said. “Thank you for giving me the Senior of the Year award last year. It makes me feel like I am doing the right thing.” There was not a dry eye in the room.

Zombie Walk for Hunger returns to Almonte for third year Oct. 14 It’s official! The third annual Zombie Walk for Hunger will be taking place on Oct. 14 starting at the Almonte Arena, 152 Bridge St. in beautiful Almonte. There are so many unique boutique stores on the main street, you can also turn your day into a shopping trip. The walk this year will start at 2 p.m. and zombies can register from 1 to 2 p.m. The cost to register is only $10 per participant and we are asking you to kindly bring a non-perishable item for the local food bank. The Zombie Walk will benefit two non-funded animal rescues, Soi Dog Foundation and Country Cat Sanctuary (currently full) along with The Hunger Stop (Lanark County Food Bank). All proceeds will be split evenly between the two non-funded animal rescues. Once again, Sean Isaacs of Alliance Coin & Banknote has kindly donated 100 collectible Zombuck coins to the first 100 participants who pre-register or register on walk day. The coins are stunning and a great keepsake for children. Once again, this year, Isaacs will be the official banker of our zombie apocalypse. Our outstanding and
generous local merchants have also kindly donated fantastic prizes to be given out at the walk. Last year the walkers ranged from an adorable four-year-old to a spunky 80-year-old. Everyone is welcome. If you are having a child’s birthday party that weekend, what better activity could you ask for then bringing all the little zombie darlings to the Zombie Walk for Hunger?

COMPLAINT
From front page
“Dishonoured mayor” Swayze’s investigation into Thorbjornsson’s complaint against the mayor encompassed interviews with a handful of people, including Dulmage. “There was no physical proof presented to address this allegation,” reads Antonakos’ Facebook post on May 4. “The decision by the integrity commissioner was based on a ‘balance of probabilities’ or preponderance of evidence provided by a disgruntled developer and a dishonoured ex-mayor.” In his complaint, Dulmage notes: “Mr. Antonakos refers to me as having been dishonoured. I would like to state for the record that I have never been accused of being dishonourable in any way, let alone found guilty of any dishonourable conduct or actions. In truth, I was direct and concise in making the hard decisions needed to shape the path for growth and prosperity we see in Carleton Place today.” “I have had to defend my position on numerous occasions to business associates, friends and family,” he continues.

Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos, left, is the subject of a new complaint to the town’s integrity commissioner. On Oct. 6, local resident and former mayor Paul Dulmage, right, filed a grievance with Caledon lawyer Robert Swayze against Antonakos, which alleges “a severe breach of the council code of conduct.” “Mr. Antonakos would be well advised to rectify the personal damage he has inflicted with his personal attacks, particularly due to the findings in your initial report.” Dulmage was first elected mayor in 2003, and he was re-elected in a landslide in 2006. Before being elected to the office of mayor in 2014, Antonakos served two consecutive terms as a Carleton
Place councillor, from 2006 to 2010 and 2010 to 2014. A few days after Antonakos’ Facebook post appeared, Dulmage contacted clerk Duncan Rogers, “asking about bringing a complaint against the mayor for breach of social media policy and breach of code of conduct according to Carleton Place’s rules and regulations that govern council.”
After agreeing to look into the matter, seeing if he could get Antonakos to take down the Facebook comments, “Duncan got back to me to tell me that Louis outright refused to take down his post,” Dulmage tells this newspaper. “To me this is pure arrogance.” He adds: “I am contemplating running for mayor in the next election and I do not want anything to cloud what I have done or who I am. I do not want to throw gas onto the fire, but I just want to clear this up. People who do not know me might think that I was a dishonoured mayor. The main thing is to clear up this perception. I do not care what the penalty to him is.” The grievance against the mayor further states there is a “pattern of disinformation and personal attacks on members of his constituency.” “Mr. Antonakos’ conduct is still in question as the above transgressions have never been investigated,” Dulmage says. “He has not been made to stand up to these accusations … I want to see some accountability for his actions.” This newspaper also reached out to Thorbjornsson and Antonakos for comment on Dulmage’s
complaint. “For him (Antonakos) to call me ‘disgruntled’ was a cheap shot to try to divert attention,” from the breach of the code of conduct, determined by the commissioner, Thorbjornsson says. “He has shown his real face with zero remorse and complete disrespect for council and the people of Carleton Place.” Antonakos did not respond to a request for an interview from the Canadian Gazette. The integrity commissioner has yet to investigate these allegations. EAT IT!

Other members include Guimond, Carleton Place community planner Jessica Smith and WRC’s lifestyles manager Alison Lunn. “I would like to thank the committee for its enthusiasm and patience,” Guimond. Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos was inspired by the nominees and “their impressive and compassionate roles in assisting our community. “I can tell you these kinds of events are the ones that mean the most to me, and I say that for two reasons,” he continued. “It reaffirms to me what a great community we have when we recognized our dedicated volunteers and celebrate their accomplishments with this prestigious award.” The second reason was a personal one. When Antonakos was a young man, shortly after his father suffered a life-altering stroke, he was encouraged by his mother to go out into the community and serve as a volunteer, which he did. His choice at the time was supporting senior citizens. “Without our dedicated volunteers, our dedicated seniors, we would not live as rich a life as we do,” the mayor said. “I wish every member of our community could see through my lens how important our seniors are, and

recognition,” Guimond said. The 2017 Award of Distinction was given to (Flora) Neave, presented by Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn. “It is my pleasure to present this to you,” he said. “I know how much you contribute to this town, and everyone appreciates it.” The Outstanding Service Award went to Mary Cook for her 63 years with the IODE Captain Hooper chapter. Unfortunately, Cook was not in attendance, owing to another engagement. Accepting on her behalf was chapter president Dianne Saunders. “Mary has been a wonderful inspiration for this group, and she keeps us on our toes,” Saunders said. “I wish she could have been here tonight to receive this.” The Outstanding Service Award is in recognition of a person who has made volunteering with an organization his or her life’s work. A group of people can also be considered for this award.“What an awesome night!” Tessier said. “Patty, I know you are already starting to think about next year.” Guimond noted, “The evening would not be possible without the generous contributions of our sponsors: Town of Carleton Place; Boomers, Seniors & Downsizers; Brantim Country Gardens; Canadian Gazette and Metroland Media; Canadian Golf & Country Club; Carleton Place

Thanks For Your Feedback At Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH), we get many positive letters and emails from patients and families. Your comments are very important to us. Thank you for taking the time to write.
From the moment I nervously walked in to the hospital, I was met by a chain of warm and friendly professionals - starting with the volunteer at the front door.
At this time of year, we are also thankful for the support of our local community in helping us to provide the very best care. Here are just a few of the recent comments.
I have had occasion to use many emergency departments. Without exception, this visit and the subsequent visits for follow up care were the most efficient and pleasurable (as it could be given the circumstance). The staff were very friendly and personable, the wait times minimal, and the medical team top notch. Subsequent treatment for me included visits every 8 hours which afforded interaction on all shifts - very consistent, very professional, and very effective on all shifts. Well done!
I've been to Radiology 3 times for ultrasounds on my kidneys. Each time, my radiologist has made mee feel comfortable and calm. It's scary going through an illness, and having someone make you feel comfortable and cared for is very much appreciated. I was treated well and the food was good. The staff were excellent from the doctors to the cleaning staff. I was treated with the upmost respect.
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincerest thanks for th the absol absolutely tha ks and d appreciation eci tio fo tel top-notch care which I received from the OR and Recovery teams. You made the entire experience far less stressful. My wife and I wanted to recognize you but perfume or flowers might not be allowed and we don’t have money for diamonds. So we have made a donation to the CPDMH Foundation on your behalf. We wanted to help you continue to do what you do for other patients.
For the latest updates, visit www.cpdmh.ca/redevelopment
Because of the care I received, I tried to work harder on my recovery. I truly felt as if I were part of a team - and we all played a part in my care. Bless you all.

Hearing Aid Trial
“ Why do I hear but not under stand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

Canadians take advantage of wounded Ottawa team and come away with 3-1 win It was billed as a meeting of league titans when the Carleton Place Canadians and Ottawa Jr. ‘A’ Senators on Monday, and it was the Canadians who came away with the 3-1 win. For Carleton Place coach Jason Clarke, however, he said it’s tough to see which team is better since Ottawa was missing a pair of its top forwards. “Anytime a team is missing its two top forwards, you have to take advantage and that’s kind of what we did. We took advantage of a team that was hurt” said Clarke. “When Owen Guy and Nick Lalonde are in their line-up, they’re a different team.” Monday’s game had a feisty edge to it, developed from Ottawa and Carleton Place meeting for the last two Bogart Cups. That feistiness carried over to the benches as well as Ottawa assistant coach Chris Kushneriuk started having words with the Canadians bench. “It was an unfortunate incident by one of the Ottawa Jr. ‘A’ Senators’ assistant coaches. Did something pretty classless towards our bench which a lot of people took notice to and our guys didn’t like it,” explained Clarke about the situation. “I thought we responded really well, especially in the third period to put the game away.” Ottawa head coach Martin Dage-

The Canadians blanked the Bears 3-0. nais had a different opinion on the situation, as he stated in an interview for the Jr. Senators Twitter account. “Things got rough midway through the first, both benches were going at each other and it kind of fired us up. Give credit to Chris Kushneriuk, my assistant coach, woke the team up,”
he said. Geoff Kitt opened the scoring to give Carleton Place the lead 7:20 into the opening period, but Silas Mattawashish tied the score late in the first period after the bench incident started. Neither team could score in the
second period as Jeremie Forget and Francis Boisvert stopped all shots they faced in the frame. Mattawashish’s goal snapped Forget’s shutout streak that lasted more than three games. After Clarke called out his goaltender following a loss to Hawkesbury on Sept. 29, he said Forget’s play has turned around. “He’s making the stops he needs to make. He’s made a couple big ones every game but all the one’s he’s supposed to stop, he stops. He’s on a little bit of a hot streak right now, only one goal allowed in the last three games. When you’re a goaltender and you can make two or three big saves and make the stops you’re supposed to, then you’re going to have some good performances and that’s what he’s done all week-end long,” said Clarke. Zach Tupker scored the game-winning goal as he followed the bouncing puck in the slot and beat Boisvert low on the stick side. “Ben (Tupker) and Jack (Clark) were battling along the wall and then Ben got the puck out and did a nice net drive. Luckily the puck popped out front and I just tapped it in,” he described. The Tupker-Tupker-Clark line drew the praise from its coach following Monday’s win.
“I thought the Tupker line was all over it all night. They had a couple really good, glorious chances in the first period, told them to just stick with it,” Clarke said. “They were getting a lot of chances, sooner or later they were going to bury it and Ben Tupker used his size and speed to the outside and the other two just crashed the net. “That line’s been really good. That line should probably have a lot more to show for in points than what they have. I think they’ve had a lot of bad puck-luck, to be honest with you, for the first 10 or 12 games here. They just continue to play the game the right way. They’re playing a lot of north-and-south and taking stuff to the net, and moving their feet to take away time and space when they don’t have the puck and they got rewarded today with a big goal,” Clarke added. The two teams will meet up again on Nov. 1 at the Jim Durrell Sports Complex. Clarke said Carleton Place needs to be at their best to beat Ottawa in that game, especially if Nick Lalonde and Owen Guy – who are fourth and 17th in league scoring respectively – are back in the game for the Jr. Senators that day.

New Faces at AGH & Fairview Manor Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor are pleased to welcome three new family physicians to the team - Dr. Sophie Danielle Parent, Dr. Marisa Rossi and Dr. Julie Stewardson. Dr. Perron arrived in September after completing her family medicine training in Newfoundland. “This is exactly the type of practice I wanted,” she says. “I prefer rural life and I love the mix of family medicine and obstetrics. Everyone has been very friendly and welcoming and I’m starting to get to know some of my patients.” Dr. Perron is originally from northern Quebec and attended McGill University. She is bilingual. Dr. Rossi officially joined the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team on October 2nd, but she has been here since last summer providing
locum coverage. And before that, Dr. Rossi completed some of her family medicine training at AGH. “My first experience was a very positive one. What I have enjoyed the most is the collegiality amongst the family physicians. We each have our own area of interest and expertise and I’ve learned a lot. This is a great place to establish roots and pursue my career.” Originally from Ottawa, Dr. Rossi went to McMaster University and also completed an additional year of training in the Care of the Elderly. She will also be working at Almonte Country Haven.
where I could provide clinic care, inpatient care, family medicine obstetrics, Emergency Department coverage and surgical assistance. I’m finding that everyone is willing to help out and support one another.” Dr. Stewardson grew up in Barrhaven and did her training at the University of Toronto.
All three doctors say they are busy learning about what resources are available for their patients. They also recognize that their patients are learning as well. “We realize it’s an adjustment for our patients too,” says Dr. Rossi. “Some of our patients have Dr. Stewardson has been on board for almost had the same family doctor for their whole five months, after having a family practice life or several decades.

Doris grew up in a warm and busy household of four girls in Smiths Falls, her father “Barney” driving locomotives for CP Rail and her mother “Katie” caring for the girls, sewing their clothes, cooking, baking, making preserves and managing the day-to-day activities. As a young girl, Doris’ life revolved around playing tennis with her sisters and friends at the Smiths Falls Tennis Club. Many an opponent experienced her wicked backhand slice. Doris also loved playing the piano and went “on the road” as the pianist for the Smiths Falls Curling Club. Doris was an enthusiastic member of the Presbyterian Church Drama Group, proudly playing “Miss Chatterbox” one year. Doris met George in high school and soon adopted his love for boating and the Rideau Lakes. Some of their happiest times were spent at regattas or touring the shoreline in George’s handsome wooden boat. Doris worked at Massey Ferguson as Secretary to the Manager, as a teller at the Bank of Nova Scotia, and as an Operator at Bell Telephone. She attended Nursing School in Kingston where she received her Nurse’s Cap. Doris and George were married and, after the birth of their two daughters, Doris devoted herself to the love and care of her family. Her generosity was infinite. George’s death in 1995 was a time of great sadness for Doris. It was also a time of new beginnings as Doris moved to London, Ontario. Here, she enjoyed a circle of dear friends. Above all, this gave Doris the opportunity to be close to her family, especially her five grandchildren who were everything to her and who were blessed to share so many happy times with her and know her so well. Doris loved going on road trips with George, especially to the Chicago Boat Show. She loved watching sports, particularly hockey and tennis, and she cheered loudly! She loved chocolate, ice cream and all things sweet. She valued attention to detail – she loved a well-manicured lawn or garden. She loved finding that perfect Christmas tree or birthday card. She loved fine china. She had gorgeous handwriting and wrote interesting, newsy letters. She was funny and witty into the last few days of her long life. Doris’ funeral service will be held at Harris Funeral Home, 220 St. James St. at Richmond, London on Friday, October 6 at 4:30, with visitation preceding from 3:30 – 4:30 pm. Family interment at Hillcrest Cemetery, Smiths Falls on Saturday, October 14 at 11:00 a.m. Memorial contributions to The May Court Club of London Breakfast Program would be appreciated.

For someone who meant so much And loved by all he knew, Who left behind a trail of tears And precious memories too. We loved the sunshine in his smile, And kindness in his heart, But heaven saw that he was tired, Which meant we had to part. And now as we remember him today, Dear angels, hear our prayer, Please guard him with your gentle wings, And tend him with great care. For he was someone wonderful, And words just can’t convey, How much we wish that he was here, Once more, with us today.

Tier II Canadians outshoot Winchester to remain undefeated at home Carter Holmes scored 37 seconds into the game for the Tier 2 Canadians and Carleton Place outshot the visiting Winchester Hawks 19-5 in the first period of a Thanksgiving Monday game. Reece Bolton, Aiden Parnell, and Ryland Mosley (2) added goals for CPC as they improved to 6-0 at home this season with a 5-2 win. Cameron Patton had four assists in the afternoon game. The final shot totals were 44-23 for
the Canadians. Picking up the win in net was Jacob Lavergne. Lavergne improves to 8-0 on the season. His goals against average is 2.32 and his save percentage is .908. Reece Bolton had three points on Monday to re-take the league lead in points. He now has 24 on the season and sits three goals up on Embrun’s Andrew Burke for the league lead in goals with 14. “I thought for the second game of a back-to-back we played pretty well,
the effort was there. We were a little sloppy but it is good to get the victory,” said Bolton. Bolton was awarded player of the month for September and was also listed as the league’s top prospect in the Prospect Report. “I want to keep moving forward, keep getting better. My linemates and I work well off each other and we need to keep being productive for the team.” The Canadians will welcome the Embrun Panthers (7-5-1) on Saturday
night, Oct. 14. That game will feature the top five scorers in the league (Bolton, Burke, Haymes, Mosley, Brosseau). “They’re top line does most of their scoring and they have pretty good goaltending,” said head coach John Ollson. “Hopefully we show up on Saturday and I can promise you that practice will not be fun this week.” The Canadians are now 10-4, five points ahead of Wesport (7-2-1) and
